The downbeat. I'm nine. All right here in a minute, I'm gonna tell you the most important thing in the world. We're are there sports at seven thirty today, but it's seven A few local stories to get to right now. Let's have a fun real quick. Yes, I love it, Oh, just real quickly. Every time I hear it, I get half at work. Came out like a mere chat. What propines in the world? Top five most annoying people at the grocery store? Five answers on the

board? Mike, what years now? Today? Butterfly? What's my name? What's my worst? Top five annoying most annoying people at the grocery store. Okay, I'm gonna go with I feel like these are always older. I'm gonna go with the check right, Okay, yeah, oh you know I'm gonna actually allow it. Number one answer slow, Grandma, Okay, they're writing checks. I've seen that, so correct. What number that was the number one answer? You have control of the board? Pass or play's

gonna play? Never pass? Some family feud? How many tip never pass? How many are there? Five? So four more? I'm gonna go with the lane blocker. Oh, number four cart blockers? I mean have some courtesy and spatial awareness. Dude. I always pull my cart all the way to the side, somewhere out of the way of everyone, and I'll park it too and go down the aisle and get what I need and then come back. But the cart is never going to be an animal. You

turn on your cart flashers. Absolutely, Yeah, my hazards. Seeing people behave inside a grocery store does explain where parking lots are such a jumbled mess. There are people are rude, people are not They do not stay in their space. It's yeah, it's annoying because you do see that huge sect of people that have absolutely no awareness of their surroundings or have any interest in

or concern for the plight of other people. Put others before you. It's like these forces with these blinders and all they see is what's directly in front of them, These considers me, me, me, give, give, screw you, me me me see. And I completely agree, But I think then we apply it to exactly that thought, which is this is a bad person who's thinking, screw everyone else, I gotta get mine. And that's not true either. They're just lost, They're just in a haze.

They don't know any better. Yeah, it's ignorance. But think of what other people around you are dealing with at all times, and that'll help all of us. Put others first. God is first, others are second. I am third. You get me. I learned that at Camp to Come. So I learned it from Josh Hamilton. Well, he only had the courage to say I am second, and that's God is first and I'm second, and no, like Jesus, you get me Camp the Comps, we

learned that I'm third. I think Josh Hamilton's activities would show that he definitely put himself second. Yeah, okay, ahead of others. Is he's jumping over the Sherlock's fence, one leg kind of gets caught up on it, you know, not a full clean hurdle. What I would give for CCTV footage of that, that wonderful moment Hoodie Kinsler having a speed there and to save it, drag him out of there and pressure wash the whipped cream off

his teas ridiculous. Life was better with it when wheels off. Josh, Oh my god, it was incredible. That's why the World series didn't hit as hard as I think it would, you know, yeahsh Hamilton. What a legendary figure he was, maybe could have been the greatest baseball player ever, no no questions, because for about two and a half years, nobody

did what he could do. That's something to think about. I don't know if there's any anniversaries coming up in relation to him, but a Josh Hamilton full segment blow by blow expose to let people that don't remember or may have forgotten, how incredibly important he was to Rangers baseball and what a what a just a wild ass personality and what a weird dude he was. And the picture of him with the Devil Rays on photo day was just red eyes and

just whacked lasted on crack. Yes, I just remember one time we're in the locker room spring training and Ben was whipping his ass about Hey, you're doing an interview or something, and he just starts and grunting at the TV on the screen, and on the TV on the screen if you look up in the locker room, it's one of those hunting shows on Fox Sports Southwest, and he's grunting in an elk H like while Ben was talking, Yeah, that's amazing, it's just beautiful, and Ben, yeah, it was

so happy to like too, just grunting the animal they wanted to shoot. It's fantastic and you were there watching, Yes, it was. It was unbelievable that you're already kind of in awe of how giant he was. But was it was so wild? One in four, two, three, five remaining on the board. We're in the middle of a hot game of impromptu family fears. I don't know where this one falls, but too many kids family, mm hmm, kids kids. I would have that would have been

my first guest. Kids struck one, Mike, how about I want all the meats so I'm gonna be here forever, you know, if you're getting a slice meat? They want this deli person out? Can you go thinner? That doesn't look like three quarters of a pound? One of them, not one of the top five would have been top ten probably though, Oh okay, that came out. Okay, I got one. Uh, don't return shopping cart? Person whoa Danny Golly? I would have person leaves carts

in the parking lot. I would have thought, like coupon lady, but that falls under grandma. I'm assuming, Uh if they look if the deli employee isn't going to get that. I can't imagine a checker having, you know, being the most annoying person at the grocery store. Most annoying person at the grocery store. I mean, how many people are at the grocery store. I'm gonna guess coupon people? Is that Grandma Mike wins? Wow?

Where do you go? Mike? Leave out? Number two? Here be something in the customer who makes the rest of the line way while they go get something they forgot. Oh okay, Oh that's a good one, all right. Number three aggressive girl Scout cookie girls. Stick around tod Dingo's Morning News for more on Girl Scout cookies, noneration, Army bell Man. Number five sacker who puts chips at the bottom or eggs. There you go. Top five most annoying people at the grocery store. Let's do the most

important thing in the world. It's a list. It came up today. I saw it was a big list. That's popicle, Kevin. Everyone goes grocery top on besides benning Scout and make their wives do this. They don't. I don't have a wife. This is not the most important thing in the world. But can I tell you, Yeah, yesterday I ate Relish for the first time in my life. Sweet deal, Sweet Oh you did

sweet Relish? Oh I know, Okay, it was Carrie. I confirmed on Facebook that delivered hot dogs and Lucky Charms to the studio yesterday because we mentioned it last week, and yesterday all the only foods I consumed were Lucky Charms and hot dogs. You're masts, You're the hottest of all messat good start off the week with a good, healthy diet, hot two balls of Lucky Charms in the afternoon. Two hot dogs for Daytona. My son is an actual toddler, and even I don't feed him. That's I may go

rock some dogs today too as well. Yeah, he got it. But carry as sweet as he is, included everything you might need for a hot dog party. I assume he meant for us to cook them up here and enjoy them. But we're not making hot dogs up here, dude, especially

during the renovation. We have a big renovation going on our floor. Well, Mikey leaves yesterday with two sacks of groceries carry sent up here hot dogs, buns, mustard, catch up. Relish was in the bagstic forks, a full gallon of milk, whole milk, which I don't normally do. It was kind of a sweet treat. Lucky charms, plastic silverware and skin call them the paper plate bowls, which is a very unstable I don't know. You have to be in a you have to be in a very u

s where you used just a stable position to eat that. Yeah, you know what ends up going in those chili on the fourth, that's exactly right. Outdoor barbecue chili leak. Kids can't handle them just holding it, the plastic thing. It's just they're too small. Paper bowls, plate bowls, paper plate bowls. It's a bad item. So you had sweet relish. Well anyway, yeah, he had relish. So I'm normally just hot or mustard. Man. I do some cheese warm the buds and a nice cheese

dog, and I'm just I did another look at this relish. I'm like,

you know what, all right? And I just put the tiniest amount on one bite and I ate good, and I'm like right, So I went, I relished up the rest of that dog and I did eat it, and I don't I don't know where I'm at right now, but I am pineapple on pizza man, okay, and I never would have thought that, and then you have it, and I think it's the same reaction where I'm like, I don't know, but I don't hate it, but I don't know if I love it. And then I think as time goes by,

you're like, you know, I am craving that sweet. I can't. I can't stand sweet relish, but dill relish I love. Okay. I don't normally like sweet pickles, and I do like deal pickles, So I think you're absolutely right. I didn't have a choicecarry sent sweet and I can kind of see it. I can kind of see it. He dipped his toe into the sweet Relish. It was a big day for me.

I'm forty seven years old. I had relish for the first time just yesterday, and you had hot dog dinner, Ah grown man, hot dog dinner, And I probably sang the song to time. Did you boil your hot dogs in water? Yeah? Just happy bouncing around the room. Daytona is going on sing cook. I will sing to Simon. Sit there. I don't think you just cook. I don't think you cook. I think you just heat things up that way. Boiling hot dogs counts as did uh did

Simon, get a bite of hot dog. Hell no, try to kill I do make him special dinner though, so usually a little a little food mixed. Our last question, sorry, what brand of weien did Carrie said, I think it was just Kroger brand. Oh really yeah, but they

were really good. That's the most important in the worlds. This important thing the world involves NASA because you know, back in the seventies they tried to do the Concord, the supersonic plane that could go about seven hundred and sixty miles per hour, which I think it's sounds stupid now, you gotta say it like that's insane, but you know it could get you from New York

to London and you know, under three hours hypothetically. But they had to call that off because the sonic boom was so loud, well, it was scaring the fish. NASA's working on a plane called the X fifty nine, and it's built a little bit different. It's built long and skinny, and that chops up the sound so you get more of a sonic thump rather than your sonic boom. So they think that this could be allowed, because it's

not going to be now they're going to do some testing. In fact, Lockheed Martin over in Fort Worth is helping build these, so they're kind of a big part of this because that's who NASA partnered with. What is the downside of the Sonic boom? Is it about fish and fishermen and boats and stuff like humans? It's scared humans? Yeah, I thought it was. They're they're going to ground when they're when they test these and for Worth they're

going to they're basically gonna test. They're gonna like take survation people on the ground. But how was this too loud? Were you annoyed by this? Like that's gonna be a part of the research that goes into this with the Sonic, with the new X fifty nine and the Sonic Thump. Now, because it's built long and skinny, the configuration of the plane's gonna be a

little bit different. They're not gonna have a forward facing window. Oh yeah, crazy right, They're gonna be find the plane without being able to see what's in front of them through the window. Yeah, they're using like cameras and other types of sensors, YEP TV monitor mounted in the cockpit. It's gonna show them where they're going without being able to look at the windows. So they're going to have a cockpit. They're gonna be said on the front,

but can't see out the front. Strange. Now they're gonna put they're performing five flight tests later this year, and they're gonna gather data from people on the ground. So but you hear how annoying was it? Did it scare you? You know? And if it's people are like, it wasn't that bad, it was cool. We're hoping to hear. I hope these people are also like, I can't put it. I mean, I don't

know. If I guess it would be a beating. If there were multiple flights in planes like this and it was super loud, it would be louder than planes. Just I mean that that would be terrible. Let's look this up. What does Sonic Boom sound like on the ground. It probably sounds exactly as the name of it describes. This is my guess. I mean, there's some videos. Yeah, I know, but I want to help If that sounds like that, you're plugged in the top five song every neighborhood,

You're an airport F sixteen song movement. Oh I want to hear that. Yeah, Okay, we'll see, we'll see if this works. But this is going to be from the air. Yeah, it's gonna have to get to five second ad first, what's the ad for? What do you have? Are you on YouTube? Yeah? What's the app? Just get premium do for doctor Gold. They they're at Oshkosh. They're at the the Plane Convention, the air Convention. Here it comes, Yes, sixteen is lifting off? I don't know. Wait a minute, all right, that's

Badass's badass? You wouldn't want that all the time? Well, I mean, if i'm it, does it? Does it happen when it's taking off? Is that? Well? It is when it breaks the barrier, So I don't know how long after that? Can't they just do? They fly at a good cruising speed and then when you get over the ocean, then whammy hit the nase hit then. So if this works though, because this plane will have less of a sonic boom, more of a sonic thump is

what they're describing it as. And then they like they passed these flight tests, it's gonna take about a decade before these you're gonna be in these commercial airlines. One thing that they kept saying this article was I mean, it surely depends if these big businesses step up and want to add that to their archive. So if you are American air Lines, for example, and you're

like, yeah, I think we'll go ahead and do this. We'll buy some X fifty nine's, hypothetically you could make it from Dallas to Europe in four hours, baboush. So how much faster do these go than the concord? Seven six two is the concord? Yeah, I didn't say that. Probably about the same though, I would imagine, because I mean that's the same line of breaking the sound barrier. You're still breaking the sound barrier,

You're just changing how it sounds because of the design of the plane. Fascinating love it inevitable, depending on how many decades it takes, not in our lifetimes realistically, I would imagine. But if you can get to gay Parie or wherever in eure Upe London in four hours from Dallas, absolute game change. I just think if okay, that's one thing, because I look, what is it Typically from the coast the East Eastern seaboard to London is about

what six ye from like six and a half something like that. The flights to like Australia and China, Japan. Those are the ones that are when you're shaving, because those flights are like what twelve hours, thirteen hours something like that. You can knock those down to six or seven. The Hawaii trip in three is huge. Yeah. Yeah, that's place a popular place people go. M's think about. You probably wouldn't use that, and you probably need to outlaw it. Say you can't use that on the Red Eye

because you're not gonna want a lot of these. If you have a lot of these, it's too loud Dallas to sit and he is seventeen hours and fifteen. Oh wow, it's further than I thought. Oh, that sounds terrible unless you had a bed. If he had a bed, you'd be in good shape. You could get to Austin in like six minutes. That would be such a waste. That's how the celebrities use their private planes, though, dude, Kennedy. Kennedy flew from Fort Worth to Dallas on November

twenty second. Did you know that he landed over and whatever that Fort Worth is or that airport isn't fort Worth? Meet him whatever? I don't know. Anyway, he landed over there and did his you know whatever duties in that town and hopped on a plane to fly to love Field. It took like ten minutes. Yeah, I'm not saying he should have been killed, but he should have been punished for that. We don't need to dirty up our atmosphere that much. All right, Dallas took forth to Dallas? Did

you have a granola bar and drive down thirty? I agree? Yeah? Just what do you do? I mean, do you think if you could, you could do it? Well? No, if they use miles on Air Force one from Fort Worth to Dallas, that's the dumbest crap I've ever heard. I guess that's thirty minute drive. That's faster though, flying twenty. If you get a motorcade and you did. If your car is right next to the presidential limo and you're at the door or at the gate of

the airport, meetrim let's call it. You say go and they don't really know they're racing, and you haul ass. Could you make it to love Field arrivals before? No, the president, but it would be close. If they don't know you're racing, you probably could. Just there'll be ten minutes of I don't know, when you don't have a private plane. Is there even ten when you get on the thing? Is there even ten minutes of I don't call the tower. There's still all that. There's still that,

but it's all easy. Yeah, and then a twelve minute fright flight. Probably he waiting on anyone else. Yeah, Yeah, I love this. I hope it happens. You've been hearing about this forever. And it's kind of weird that we did have the concord. It was just not financially sustainable and they had to make it illegal. I don't know. I know, trust me, if if it was making money, they would have wiggled their way around all that, because they would have just flown from My dad

flew it from Miami to somewhere London or Paris one time. What do you say about it? Boat thing? I remember I whipped his ass asking questions because I couldn't believe it. And I think he brought me a little model, you know, which they may have even given you on the plane, you know, because you get all kinds of stuff, and your dad was an influencer, so they probably wanted him to market. Yeah, he was a big influencer. Did he get to go up into the cockpit and meet

the pilots. Yeah, there's a picture of him doing the deuces with the pilots and doing hearthands. This Kareem abdul Jabar in the background, the concord on a polaroid. He's doing duck Lips Influencer. Yeah, big Bill duck Lips. I'm imagining him in his race suit for whatever reason. Yeah, always it was something race related, boat race related. Yeah, yeah, okay that he was flown to Europe for. But he said it was awesome. He said it was really cool and weird. He was the head of

race relations. Yeah, Kevin, But yeah, back in the day, that's why you brought a fish, because I think you could only do it from New York or Miami, where you'd be out over the sea. Sure, and I'm not making fun of hippies here, but then yes, it would be like us to be like, we're disturbing the fish, well the fish, Like we don't really know what we're just saying, we're freaking out. We were freaking out already kind of what we do. We're in the

ocean. We were all wagging out already. So yeah, yeah, there was another thing. It was a little scary. Well, that's possible, but again they think it would take like a decade to get it fully going. But test happening in Fort Worth over at Lockheed Martin later this year. Coming up next in the scuttle butt, got a couple of stories involving the city of Arlington. We did have a gun at a high school yesterday. I did have to do the bad story real quick, Aunt Dad, you

gotta do it, the biggest one in the city. And should this teacher be fired for wearing this to school? Next to ninety seven to one, the Free
