You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. There was a strong odor in downtown Dallas yesterday prompted a little bit of you know, uh, I don't know what I would say. I panic. It wasn't panic so much, but it did prompt a pasmat response. That's coming off the you know explosion earlier the week in Fort Worth was down at the AT and T Discovery District. Theyuh, since a strong natural gas odor. We got there. It was three pm, yestery afternoon. Mm hmm over there
off Acred Street, Ackard Street, Ackord Street. So welcome, Welcome to Dallas, boy, I mean not Dallas ten plus years I went in town, you know, but in Texas my whole life. But I called it camp Bowie on my first ticker I ever. Did you know you don't call that an idiot? Oh boy, you mispronounced at Dallas Street. Woo. They'll get you the new Well he's not new now, he's in your four years now Channel eight nighttime. Lawrence is his last name, and it's Chris
Lawrence, I think's his name. And he did Montague County one time. Let's monteg County, you know, how would you know if you're not here, how would you know? How ridiculous? But how how ridiculous is it in New York? Pronounce it Houston? Yeah, it's so dumb. Yeah, but they probably think we're dumb for calling Houston, calling it Houston. Yeah, and Italy Italy, so they got they got the hands off, the Italian media. It to me. I'm sorry, see you since the
baseball playoffs been botting my bows off. Let's go to the post. You know his name, places Florent's a great okay. What was a smell? Uh strong natural gas odor and and and everybody? Okay, well the source of the league as often, no, don't it was when there was a strong odor sense near a manhole outside the building. This is factual. Yeah, okay, at MISS technicians are currently addressing the situation. We'll let you know if anything happens there. But hey, I think about that. We're
gonna see this pop up now anyone smells gas anywhere? Oh oh, and then here comes Jesse Pinkman in a hazmat suit. You know, fix the situation. What's coming from a manhole? And that typically sewage? Oh yeah, so or a the smell of carrots. Let's move on to something with some importance. If in fact there is anything. He showed up this morning looking to say it. Yeah, it should come as no surprise that he
sounds insane, even crazier than normal. Yeah, we got crazy eyes sipping on his Boba T I T b T. You can get Boba t at four in the morning. He take it now. I usually wait to take my narcolepsy pill with the big story to tell a little bit a little bit later the show. I'm gonna take it early, so I flame out in the nine. That's on you. Fine, we'll take the heat, Kevin. We'll get there from nine to ten. Don't chop it up and snort it, just eat it and that goes in your mouth. It's not a
suppository. Kevin. Oh, I feel good. Does it work already? Yeah, it's perked up. I think I'll stop having strokes every time I complete an average five yard checkdown completion joke. They look at scoon maker, bam, wild card week, Get pump, folks, I am. But this most important thing is the weather. So we got here wendy and colder today as we had in the middle of the night. I was hearing hal.
I didn't get up and check, but I did wake up to urinate in the two am hour, and my temperature was fifty eight degrees on my watch. Wait, what does that mean in your house? Oh? No, outside? Yeah, jarees outside. Now I turn my like the heater off like at night, I have to be cold my sleep, And then before I go to work in the morning, I turned the heater on. Does ROXY have a vote in any of this? No girl wants the heater turned off at night? Why do you need a heater when you're snuggled up
next to that fuzzy bear. Yeah, and let me tell you the Mexican woman, hot Latina emanates heat. She does They all do? Oh right? According to myth okay, good, I bet you two are just intertwined passionately in bed. Now she's trying to get away from me all the time. It's a lot of I'm sleeping here tonight in the guest room, a lot of that, I bet sleeping next with his sleep problems, as much as he rolls around and tosses and turns, it's probably like sleeping next to
a toddler having a nightmare. Dude, I sleep like I'm a young calf. I'm rolling and I'm causing problems. So I was out cold. My feet are by the pillow, my head's at the back of the bottom of the bed diagonal. I don't sweating. I think of twelve thirty a m give or take. And I woke up to the hail. My house was getting bashed. Me too. I have some something metal on my roof.
I think it's like the top of the stove chimney. Is that yeah, okay, yeah, because I don't have a fireplace, but there's one area right in the middle. I'm almost positive it's right at the top of the stove. And it was getting pelted loud, and it woke me up, and Simon was doing the whole daddy is this it is this the big one? And then you could hear massive wind, dude, but it was I'm pretty sure it was hall. I didn't see any damage or anything when I
woke up this morm. I didn't really exactly give my whole house an ocular pat down. I didn't hear anything at all. Yeah, but i'd also sleep with a freaking white noise sound machine. Oh that's smart. Yeah, that's a good idea. You have a specific machine I got addicted, well, I got addicted to it putting an infant down for naps and for bed every night because he he still sleeps with one. It's just something you do
as a new parent when you've got a little one. The sound machine kind of it mirrors the sound that they're used to by being in the womb. So I got used to it. Man. I got to the point where I could not stand the dead silence at night. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. So I've got this. Yeah, okay, so well, no, s, how do you do you when your arm goes off? If your arm goes off, does it cut into the white noise? Yeah?
Absolutely, Yeah, that would be paranoid about that. No, every time, I mean that alarm is off within three seconds of me hearing it, and it's music on my phone. Okay, yeah, like two, and usually I'm awake before it. I'm hyper aware. Yeah, from one am to four am. I'm way too hyper aware than a person should be. Sleep with a pretty strong sense of paranoia that I'm gonna miss the shift.
Yeah. My doctor told me to day, if you don't start sleeping, you're gonna have heart failure sooner than later, and I was like, I'm glad you didn't put it to me. I'm glad you weren't. Thanks for the gentle news. I'm glad you're straight, straight shooting. But she was like, sleep test. I'm sorry, I don't need to mean to be talking about myself. So talk about what's really happening in the weatherbird real quick. She's cant see me as sleep test. It's an at home sleep
test. Now. I was like, okay, well, I've done all these before. So you've done the sleep test at this million times at like the doctor or a facility, and they put all this the sense of sticker pads on your chest. Yeah, and they go, you didn't sleep well, well, no wonder you tied up fifty pounds of crap on me.
There's wires everywhere. I don't I don't know what happened. So you go go into the facility and spend the night and they put all that crap on you, and then they monitor how you sleep in like a hospital bed. Yeah, because they're trying to figure out what was wrong with me. And then my NEUROLOGI just wants to foll you got a knowledge. He goes these sleep doctors don't know anything. You have a brain disconnection. You have narcolepsy.
It's a neurological thing. It as a chemical imbalance in your head. And I was like, okay, cool, good to know I have it. I need to her. And she's like, well, I'm not a sleep expert, but you might have some sleep atning going on if you're not sleeping. Well, I said, listen, doc, I love you, but I do wake up in the morning with a lot on my mind, goes straight to work and talk for four hours like that is, which sounds
easy, I guess for some people, harder than it looks folks. So she's like, okay, we'll just do a three it's a three day sleep test and you can do it at home now, And I said, great, how do I do that when I have to get up and go to work because I'm just like, I don't know, and I have to look tood. I'n't ordered. It doesn't matter. Okay, that was too much about me, and I have to apologize to the outside audience out there,
apologize to a few folks inside the building too. Start apologizing everyone in the building, including my showmates. Okay, so we're looking at a situation where this is going to hit on Saturday night, and I think it could be gone around freezing around seven or eight on Saturday night. Now precipitation chances, that's where you get to an issue. The high on Sunday is going to be twenty eight. Still gonna have twenty percent chance of a light winter mix
on Sunday. I think the Sunday night into Monday is where you get the forty to fifty percent chance a freezing rain, sleepy snow. Now, five days ago they were saying it would be a twenty percent chance overnight Sunday Monday, No, it is going to be a forty to fifty percent chance. You kind of know what that means. For the most part, about half of the metroplex is gonna get dumped on Kay like snow, possibly freezing rain and sleep Those are the two that you don't want. Yeah, bring it
all day. I'm seeing Monday am snow showers. Yeah, very possible. Multiple inches of snow. Could have a significant amount of ice Sunday evening into Monday morning. Do you cheer for the I don't want to say chaos because I don't want power outages and that sort of thing. But if it's gonna be freezing, give me the snow, right, I don't want none of it. You don't want snow. I only to be seventy degrees at all time. Yeah, but I like to be San Diego up in this mug.
Yeah, that would be nice. Yeah, So I don't want it. But if it's gonna be teens, give me snow. Yeah, A little snow never hurt anyone. Man least my dog loves snow. At least it's something unique. Kids love snow. Yeah, it's a win win. But it's the freezing rain. That's what you don't want, and that's what we get. You don't get normally beautiful chunks of fluffy snow coming down and standing outside majestically. I had a magic line in the sand, and I
think everyone can relate to. This is when I realized that snow means that you still have to go do the things you're supposed to do that day. Once snow stopped, meaning that school might get canceled, I stopped pulling for snow. I turned in my snow fandom, not me. I don't like this stuff, man, No, this is the worst part. And we don't have much of it, but this is the worst part of the year. January February. I hate it. I don't like the cold man,
and maybe I need more Vitamin D to warm my body up. And because we don't have have it that off, and we just don't have the infrastructure to handle it when it comes. That's why everybody just kind of, you know, you just hunk her down and stay home. We don't have enough. Brian, shrimp Brian. But man, up there in that northeast,
they can handle anything. Why is it so night and day? Why are they are they just sold they get yeah, yeah, and they've got the equipment and they're prepared for it. It's it's a part of their you know, it's like baked into their lives. My mom sent me. My mom lives in western Massachusetts, and she sent me a photo one morning, an overnight snow dump. She has a Volkswagen Beetle, like one of the newer ones, and it was covered, yeah, like covered, you could see
barely the top of her car. And she knocked it all off and shoveled her way out to the thing. And by the time she got to the roads overnight, they'd already you know, bulldoze the bridges and salts out and everything's fine and just easy trip to work. Where that happened here? Oh my god. Like whatever we have Monday morning to eighty percent of America is nothing. Nothing, But it's kind of real that our roads are slick. It is dangerous, Like I don't isn't Is it just our proficiency in driving
or driving? I don't know if it's that simple. I think it's a mix of the equipment, how good we are at actually treating the roads, mixed with the driving. But I don't. I don't think it's just that we panic and don't know how to drive in this crop and we don't use salt. John coun was on with us yesterday, former packer great and he talked about, you know, when he was down here for the Super Bowl that we had in Arlington, they did sand, right, they do sand
here. They don't even do salt. I think maybe in some places though, after that disaster. I don't know, it's like a big lesson learned on Super Bowl sand. I don't think sand's not melting anything. And now it's Brian. Brian is good. That's what we do now. But I don't think we knew that ten years ago. Okay, more Brian, more Brian shrimp. If you're going have to treat the roads, so you're happy to be an employee. Just shooting a shot here, give us a call
two and four eight with seven seven eight seven one. I want to know what what what we do to prepare for that, Like do you get a one, one time shipment of salt, sand and brine? Yeah, retroplex, are you get to store it? And warehouse? Okay, thanks Kevin, geez well you crack the code there, dude. Warehouse. Where do cities get Brian? I think that's an interesting question, like where do you get all again? I still barely know what Brian is, but yeah,
how oh I'm looking at how salt brine. Yeah, is essentially salt. The salt is from a salt mine in Kansas. I'm just quickly reading, so I don't know where it comes from, but it's all mined and then cities by hundreds of tons. Yeah, we're going to need to get some brine for the cold front. Well, think about I know we have a cold front moving into idiot. Well think about alitions of city funds. You
know in the northeast. That stuff is probably budgeted in to their yearly expenses, where in Dallas it's something that is just a sliver of a fraction of what we prepare to prepare for. And then when these things hit, Now, where's the money to buy all this stuff and to get this stuff shipped in? And you don't want to take up storage where you you may have a not have a weather event like this for five years, and that stuff
just sitting somewhere where in the northeast. You know it's coming, and it's going to be there for a couple of months at least. That Yeah, it's just kind of like the part of their culture, part of their day to day life. We're down here, It's like, that's why we were just not prepared for it. Yeah, and I'm looking Brian shrimp lifespan two to three months, that's all. So you're gonna have just dead shrimp and Kevin's warehouse. Damn it. It is going to be a point three inches
of snow is predicted for Monday at noon. Okay, by Monday at noon, most no accumulation will be further north, Okay, then further south, which makes sense if you look at how our geography works. The record low for DFW nineteen oh five, eleven degrees. It's on Monday, the record love for that day for that day, okay, nineteen o five, and the temperatures expected twelve degrees. Got a shot, So he got a shot there. Tuesday also eleven looking like it could be the same way. It's
gonna be super cold on Tuesday as well. Do either you have a button button start car? You talking about the automatic go ahead, get ahead of it? You do, but you don't? Do you not use it? No? I do, like we'll use it Monday. Are you talking about, oh, like a remote push start? No, I don't know. I have to be in the car and I do push a button to start. No, no, no, I meant from your key. I don't have remote start. No, that is magic. But I have a garage
too, so that helps a lot. You do. Yeah, we've covered this. I have a garage, Kevin, and I don't have garages or remote start. I have a garage. I have too much crap in there being poor. Yeah, that's fair. Get good, bro, that is fair. Uh, you have a garage with too much crap in? It's your cars and be sitting outside and it's gonna be a it's gonna be ten degrees one day, so I'll get up. Why do you have so much crap in it? Enough room in my house? Yeah, I'm just get
rid of all those appliances that don't work. You could put it like boxes in your dishwasher hole if you pulled that thing out. To pull that out, that's fair. Let's do birthdays. Let's do birth birthdays. More of the cold throughout the day. Probably. Zane Malick is thirty one anyone? Yeah, yep, uh boy band. Don't tell me which one, the newer one one with Harry style. Yes, but it's four degree. No, what is one or action? One direction? Zaye malk the second most
successful solo man out of one er, let's say third. Nile, I said, Niles two, Niles on the voice Zach d La Rocha fifty four. He's a beast. Yeah. But the thing that we were robbed he's the singer for Rage against the Machine. For those of you that don't know, thank you, good job. The thing that we were robbed of most as a result of the pandemic was the the Rage Reunion, the Rage and Run the Jewels tour. That's right, Glaw. That would have been great.
Yes, and now it's kind of not happen. Yeah, they just it's I don't know if they race scheduled some of it didn't. Rage just announce they're kind of done touring, are they? Yeah? I think so. What a unicorn of a band. Nobody sounded like No, instantly, you know who they are. They gott in the Hall of Fame Rock and Hall of Fame. Raekwon's fifty four. I think he was at the MAVs game the other night. Yeah, took pictures with Skin. He wed.
He's weirdly tight with Skin. Rayk one of the Wu Tang clan, goes to dinner with Skin. I think he really lives here, very strange, Pretty sure he lives here. Skin. You know, Skin's friends with all those old school old head rappers, and he's buddies with Ray Kwan, the do O C Large professor, skinch Buster Rhymes like Oul Grape, friends with like Benet. Skin have been in a car with Buster Rhymes before, just
taking him back to the apartment to work on some beats. So yeah, of course ben Skin aren't famous for rapping, but they've hung out with some big dudes. Rob Zombies fifty nine. Yeah, I saw when I when I was in the Air Force, I had no interest in I don't know, white Zombie or metal. Still don't. I still don't. It's just not my whatever. It's fine. But my neighbor at the dorm in the air in the Air Force in Tucson, Arizona, said we're gonna one of
this concert tonight. I go, I'm in who is it? And it was corn and White Zombie And I let him dress. Me Like cool, what because I'm like, what do I wear to this thing? He's like, oh, dude, just jeane shorts, black T shirt wearing a whoop some ass. And we got right in the middle of the mashba pit. Yes, And I did the whole thing, and I got the vibe. I'm like, wait a minute, Okay, hold on, I just stand here on the side and then I can just forearm shiver that dude right in
the I don't want to say side of the head. But you just truck people and they love it. You can knock this dude down. You just whail them in the chest like a safety. It's like a free shot from a safety to an unprotected tight end. So you just poached other mashers. Well, yeah. Then I get in the pit, then I would get drilled, okay. I mean I didn't get it going, but I was in it. Like once you drill someone, then you're eligible to be drilled.
It's like a rage room with humans in it, because that's kind of a pit foul. If you're just an onlooker, kind of like at the perimeter of the circle and when guys are coming around, all you do is push and elbow and try to take shot. You got to get in the game. I was in the thing, okay, but you I was at first. I'm like trying to just get my bearings and then yeah, you go drill someone that someone knocks you. I think I got knocked down a
couple times. I mean crank, yeah, and everyone's having fun and no one's mad. Very bizarre. I've never done anything like it. It's pretty It's a strange dynamic the pit. Yes, and they still have them. I mean they're had an absolute blast anyway, thank you, Rob Zombie. And they're much birthday. They're much more benign than what they were in like nineteen eighty five. They still crank up a little. If you're at the right show, you see it. But yes, you're right. Oh my
