You're listening to the down beats on ninety seven to one, the freak. Seven o'clock, we'll get into some of the games from yesterday and Saturday. Nine o'clock a Cowboys beef Ceedee Lamb's mother, Dak Prescott's brother, Micah Parson's brother, all all wearing their emotions on their tweets. I can't wait for that because I've heard teases I didn't know who said what. That's one that I generally don't know. I'm excited to learn nine o'clock. I want to
learn on the downbeat. We'll have a special guest in studio at nine o'clock to help deliver those stories too, so that'll be fun. God, what does that mean? You're doing your Natasha Leone finally finally get to tell the stories with mine boyes Mike McCarthy. That's the deal. Lame that can't couch? Should they give him a deal? Well? Fine, though, I'm getting there. It's tough, you know. Uh. It's a good thing that the game was not the Super Bowl last night, because I feel like
there would have been a lot of frozen crotches. This is the most important thing in the world, Like one thing you just disappointedly looks at disappointment, confusion, you little sleepy, and I'm just out of it. It's time to get your stupid ass out of mark about the most importing thing in the
god the most implo thing. Loungejack bayliss so good that on a stage in an empty room while the while the guy in the back of the near the bar is just mopping, and a single like spotlight on the stage and upturn chairs on tables. The song kind of fades out and ends, and the guy with the mop just kind of looks up at at me, cigarette sticking out of his mouth and just nods. Yup, he nods. I feel you, nod. This is the most important thing in the world. Mike's
right. You could you could do that, You could do more, do more, all right? I want to do more. I'm your manager and songwriting partner, okay, and I need you to start making us some money. It's time, you know what, It's time for you to start earning your seventy percent on what's the most important thing of Christina's manager too, and I yell at her all the time. Has that help? No one? No one just hands me money. The most important thing in the world is
what's happening tonight. But I'm more chronologically and quickly. It's cold, it's rainy, it's not gonna be below freezing. Some places are deciding to start school, like a lot of closings, so pretty good shape. When it comes to that type of stuff. Sherman gonna open it ten Dennis and you know, things like that we should report. At least in Dallas, roads are totally fine. They are fighting little little slick slow down. I didn't
have any slick. I had totally normal. All we have to toll away Dallas to Addison well as slick is just adding water to a street would make them slick. But no ice, no problem, there's your weather. Okay, So tonight there is a preseason game at the Cotton Bowl. The Cotton Bowl holds ninety two thousand people and it is FC Dallas and enter Miami. You remember back in August. This is probably early August. They played at
Toyota Stadium, which holds twenty thousand people. So multiply that by five and you can fill those people in the Cotton Bowl. So the demand maybe not as high because to see Lionel Messi also throwing the fact that it's a pre season the game too, I guess, And it's cold as balls, and it's cold you know tonight, it's just a rain the next three days too. It's crap weather, Kevin, it is crap weather. But let me just say that the weather tonight will be there. He is. There's Messy.
He's on TV behind mess Mania, underneath it, and he's kicking a ball left foot. It went in forty three degrees tonight. I mean, that's not terrible. It's cold rain, though rain chances will be pretty dissipated by then, according to my models. He has models. Yeah. Sources tell w FAA, probably Mike Leslie that Messi is committed and expected to play okay, which if I'm him, I'm like, I'm not tearing my aziel. He's playing on the mud in a preseason game. It's like letting Romo
playing a preseason game without Tyron Smith. Only bad things can happen. It doesn't say start, I'll start. Ticket Holders are very curious about this, right, You're going there and not entire I mean, look nine, Messy, but this is FC Dallas's first game. I was reading this at the Cotton Bowl since two thousand and nine, fifteen years since they've played at that iconic stadium that used to be their home. Was that when they were the Dallas BYRN. Why did they change the names? Cause? Yeah, that
was their first home. They played there from ninety six until five when Toyota Stadium and Frisco officially opened. Also in three they played in South Lake. I did not know that, but the club's only return of the Cotton Bowl was September of nine. They played at Dragon Stadium. Probably, yeah, probably it's where the football field is. That's well, I guess that's the
only place you've played. But anyway, if you're if you're a massive supporter of FC Dallas's, this is pretty cool man for them to be rocking it at the Cotton Boll. I BET's a handful of people are psyched about that. But it's all about messy. So if you're a ticket holder, yes, his schedule of events is a massive factor, and if you want to drag it out there or not? So what would be the tickets for tonight? Right? How much would the tickets cost tonight? Because the demand is
about five times lower, It's a great question. Are you looking at the prices? So you're gonna ask us getting the building price, I can get you guys in. Man, I went and saw woo he did. Remember what was it real Madrid? Yeah? Right, and it was supposed to be Ronaldo and he didn't play until what the very Did he even get in? Yeah? I think he did get in, and they had like they threw him in at the end for like maybe a minute or two. Didn't even break a sweat. Did you at least pop a shirt off at the
end of the game. He didn't do that. They had Gareth Bale on that team I remember, and some other worthy players, but man, that crowd was there to see Rinaldo and it was that. I don't remember that being sold out. I think it was a was it close? I think it was a hot Yes, Steve Ronaldo in town. I remember, uh where Cash lives, right next to one of the not the maybe the Ritz, because that's where they were staying. I remember it was like madness out
front of the Ritz. That was huge. That was it was about as big as when Messi was here a few months And that was a real gamer, A friendly, friendly, friendly Yeah, and it wasn't even I don't think it was. It wasn't Dallas. It was Real Madrid against someone Dallas Fire Department, Yes, DFD and Real Madrid I think won seventy four to zero. He annihilated them. They could have hung a hundred if they were in soccer. Don't you kind of have to just like Christina's dad was in
goal? Damn it. Eugene, my friend with a beauty. He appears to be screaming at his defenders. Down thirty two to zero. Right now, he's standing on his head back there. The fire fire department still playing with passion. But they are getting annihilated this evening. Yes, but they cannot get a call. They're getting hosed out there. Yeah, they're playing with the revs. Oh all right, okay, I see what's okay? I didn't even hear it. Good job, thank you, thank you,
Danny getting let's work together. Let's present our official guests together as one real before you do that again. Wfa's claiming he is committed and expected to play. Don't you just have to say that to ramp up interest. Yeah, if he you go, you've already done it. And he doesn't play, it's real easy for him to go. With the weather conditions were is he from Liverpool, what with the weather conditions were very slippery. Yeah, I'd say that, and you're like, yeah, I guess man, he didn't
want to get hurt. I understand, And let's get your number and then we'll average him fifty bucks, sixty bucks, we guess fifty five dollars to get in the building. Kevin, I get you in man in the upper high end. Fifty bucks. Yeah up, he'll do it upper high no up top. Oh but okay, fifty fifty bucks, so you actually it's better than a party pass and those are like one hundred yeah yeah, midfield
low for fifty and that's kind of the max lower I get you. I get you in low sections at corners and at one end of the field from one hundred to one hundred and thirty five bucks. I mean, so this is like, yeah, that's good. Oh there's five times. Everything we talk about it's on the TV behind Kevin. Always it were essentially the local news. But it's funny cod they listen and copy us. They do. They're zooming into a prices to get into the MESSI game tonight, and then
they're showing drone shots with a cotton bowl. It's always after well, it's crazy. I bet in ten minutes they show birthdays. They do every day on seak has showing me all kinds of action you can get in for, I mean, does it. It's not like I will say, it's there's fewer seats left than I would imagine on seat Geek. It's like this. The website was just on a w F A kind of made it look like there was a bunch available pulling up Seat Geek. Not as much available.
Man one hundred and seven bucks for great tickets low towards the middle of the field. Yeah, when people were paying six hundred dollars back in August. No more. But it was good weather and it was hot, and it was a real game, intimate setting. It was a friendly and it was worth it, I think to those people because Messi went nuts and then he did. He scored two goals. I think he or cricket. I don't think he had tricked maright he got He had one or two goals. He
was great, like the game. He had one, yeah, amazing goal early in his set piece goal and the game winner. Something crazy. I remember listening to that game on the radio right on AM right before we went to bed on the iHeartRadio app. I think so on the app. Yeah, so you're telling me Lionel Messi is one of the famous man on earth is in town right now. I think just the fact that inclement weather, uh, the Cotton Bowl, you know, not as intimate of a setting.
He's already been here and the game doesn't matter. Of course, that's gonna make yeah, make this a pretty easy easy ticket. Well, as a native of South Florida, you guys know, I'm bilingual, and I'd like to for a moment speak directly to Lionel Messi, who might be listening right now. I think he's calling it nine. Well, I have an invitation for him. You guys won't understand this, okay, because you're one language, guys. Lionel Binvenido Dallas estas escucciato al mismo no gustadia dar le

In English? You you know, just shut up and wait for the phone to ring. I have a feeling he might leave a talkback instead of calling. Yeah, that's more likely. I think we're gonna have a lot of talkbacks in Spanish today. What's our phone over here? Two and four
or eight one seven? Quatro? I gave the wrong one. It was the nine seven one in the middle. It really threw me off. Seven eight seven he's just again. Yeah, there are Spanish options for numbers.

if it's Messy's birthday today? It's not his birthday? He feels like a summer guy to me, what now that book? Holy crap on the same age as Messy. Well there you go. He's like Tiger Woods. To me, it's amazing how much taller I am than him? Are you? Yeah? That tall was Messy. He had two goals in that game back in August and a penalty kick goal. Yes, they don't count towards the stats, so it wasn't technically a hat trick. But yeah, he did
put on a show. I had friends that went. They went to that thing too, and they said it was one of the coolest atmospheres ever. I would put that messy game up with Acous. Personally was not there, but in terms of social media, buzz and buzz on city up with the New Year's Day hockey game at the Cotton, talked about it every day. Why do I feel like it's not gonna be sold out tonight because the weather?
I think that's why. Yeah, And like I said, just I told you that it's not a real game, it's an exhibition or preseason the weather, huge stadium. He's gonna go out kick the opening cake and then jog off the field, although with a standing over you're gonna spray them with the spray and he's gonna hold his leg and he'll be in the shower and back of the ritz. You might have some lake time. You might have some late comers or some walk ups, considering that the tickets are so cheap.
Now, Yeah, actually Dallas famous for lake comers too. Honestly, traffic day, birthdays. We got birthdays, big one today, Mike for us, What golfer? Is this? Yeah? A good call?

You guys remember will for No, she wanted to be bad. She's also married to Mike Madonna for a while.

Yeah, and she just got it in half changed it to Oh, I'm sorry, Amanda Lee Williford, known by her stage name will Afford. That's six things I've I've taught people this morning and it's six point fifty am. And he booked Messy and I'm working on booking Messy. No worried yet because I gave the wrong number out man.
