You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one the freak thirty minutes away, we'll discuss. Man, it's the most Philadelphia Eagles thing ever that their security guard is involved in a football game story. I had to rewind that and watch it three times last night, just so dumb. And then I think there's some corruption going on elsewhere in sports. So I'm just gonna tell you,
I'm going to harden the paint mother efforts. At seven, I'm going in and it's not an inch of it's contrived one inch, not even a single inch. So it's all real. All your inches are real. Yeah, there's nothing but real inches here. That's good. Look Wall some evidence for our uh get these people off the damn sideline because you had your security man and we also had broken leg. Man, it was not a good day on sideline with the five hundred people that are three feet away from absolute
monsters playing football at full speed. We're gonna have some changes made. That was a gross leg snap. Oh more on that, Steven, There you go. I guess leg snap audio at seven it's got abut at seven thirty, do you guys remember the horrific event that started off the year of twenty twenty three. I do not tell you about it. Always got a guess, no, but I January first, last year three. What's your strategy on timeline for that? Because again is that just this week is? Or
that next week too? The just this week? Man? So you think we're gonna get through what three months every day? I'm a beast. I'm gonna make sure you don't. I know you are to make sure and I don't like it fails. But technically December has it happened yet, So it's only eleven months. So if we can get through two months each day, I think we're good, all right, long as no one throws a wrench
into it. Let's do this now to get draft fight out of that to hear the most boring all right, the most important thing in the world. We do every day at six thirty. Of course you start at six. Yeah, you get to tell this exam crew that every day. I do think we will have announcement later in the week, if not today, suit tomorrow actually about the Alamo draft House. Let's freaking chill movie series, because we are showing a movie this month and Danny last week. Our good friend
TJ. Miller, the comedian just walked right in here during a break. Yeah, popped in here. He was just looking through the window glass. Yeah, he was on what ofot He was on with the neighbor station. That's awesome. And it was a little awkward because I'd been texting with his manager or whatever the day before, and I was like, well, look man, we had him on two weeks ago, and it's the day after Cowboy Games andna be tough. And he came in here and he started talking
broncos. Yeah, did you guys pop him on? No, he came in during the break, okay, but we were talking sport and then I look, he's just peeking through the glass and he was all excited and waited for the break and they wanted to come in. So how to his freak friends? Did he remember being on? He did? He acted like he did. And we talked about that too, like the superpower of making I felt like we're friends, Like I definitely feel like we're buddies. Yeah,
I don't. You weren't. Were you not here for that? Yeah? So TJ. Yeah, okay, he when he was on the phone with us, yes or zoom or whatever. Okay, that's Yeah, he was great. They told us about his friend sushi place like somewhere in deep Ellum, which is awesome. It looks amazing by the way, is it. Yeah, Amakazi Omakassie, Ohmacassi. I think okay, And it's like hard to get in and expensive, and he's like, oh dude, let me know, we'll call him, get you guys in there. Completely taken care
of. He goes, you'll you'll be calmed, and he goes, if you like it, you know, maybe talk about it on the radio, but if you don't like it, never speak of it again. It's just very TJ. Miller. But I was like, man, maybe we should have popped him on, and he actually had some Russell Wilson takes too, as we'd kind of I'm gonna say we lied. We didn't lie, but we did like we'd have like cowboys stuff to get to after a cowboy's game. But we probably could have had him on, but it's like we just
had him on two weeks ago. Yeah, I don't know. I off pretty much of the other shows, but it was like, if it was peak Silicon Valley time, we would have definitely had him on. Yeah, but I like him I liked him. I liked him too. I did some training over the break. Oh you did, Yeah, me too. So when you were talking about, you know, we get a meal comped at a sushi place and talk about it on the air, I just completed some company ethics training that might prohibit me from doing this. Oh yeah,
you're right. No, that's where I'm not gonna do it. Then, Kevin Well did so did any wondering because last week it was Friday afternoon. I guess we learned that Luca was going to be out for the Friday game because he had a baby. He posted it Gabriella. That's her name. I love that name. I didn't know that his lady was even pregnant, so I did without knowing because there was a picture of them together at MAVs
ball and some people were being mean online. Oh not a lot, but but I was like, it looks like there's maybe they were asking the questions. Yeah, what question is that? Oh it's a question that I may or may not have asked. I don't know about twenty two years go that. Uh it was ten to a different term. You ever go fifteen it was before you were born. You don't get to pump it up to twenty plus years. I think I pulled it. It's bad. It was twenty
years ago. I think I'm the one who pulled it. Put in the system. You were there, it was your first day twenty years he says it too. Yeah, this is so mean. But it turns out she was pregnant. Yes, that was very backwoods because it's a choice, you know, you get to choose it's one thing or the other. Yea. And she was pregnant and she was making a baby in that picture she was showing some little mid section and the people were mean. Yeah, and I
wouldn't have ever seen that picture, but it would. Someone popped up because actually there were some just commoners being like, you know, you know, just being mean to say someone as he took her to mas ball, MAVs ball, which was what a while back. There is I mean, yeah, there is, maybe not there is. It's not real, but that this was this was rumored back then. Now now I want to see the
day because it may be, it may be. The date's important. The date's important because there is that period kind of like the no man's land, where as inappropriate as it is, sometimes in your mind you should ever say it out loud, but that question is asked, yeah, because it's like, huh yeah, are you yeah? I mean I almost should tell people what the question is. But are you pregnant? Or have you put on a couple of pounds? March? For what a twenty twenty three way to
say that famous quote March forth, Oh you're sweet. MAVs ball was in March. It's November. Now it's December. Now here. She wouldn't have known she was pregnant them though, No, I mean that it's like she just had the baby. She would have been barely pregnant even known. No, but I didn't even know, uh fully, but the Yeah, that was a surprising news because and lucas pretty private clearly. But they are married, right that they getting married recently? They got married? Well, I
don't know there was a proposal, right, Oh, that's right. They haven't gotten married because I went on a bit of a rand of hey, man, don't make proposals too awesome. You're creating a world that men cannot live up to. Okay, don't do it in the flowery, beautiful hills of Slovenia. Yeah, don't make us obsolete. Right before Keviot has to do it obsolete, much like the Vibrator Big five oil change. I did a kai, sir. It was a beautiful place. Can you proposed that
an oil changing place? We had five minutes. It is either that or Gordon Steakhouse. I couldn't figure it out. I decided to go with the oil changing place. Could I light lightning fast sidebar? Please? So I watched The Amazing Race on CBS right love it and they spent like two full episodes in Slovenia, and it's it's gorgeous. It is maybe the most beautiful place on earth. That lake with the little bitty island in the middle of it and that Yeah. I think they were out on that lake. It's
kind of like their Reunion Tower, you know. Yea, the lake it's just so much better. Yeah, just gets the heck out of here, Like, what's the season's over? Oh my god, no doubt. But it's just beautiful. I mean I knew it, I assumed it was, but just to see it, you know, and Amazing Race has all the high deaf stuff and they're up in the mountains and doing all kinds of wild stuff. Just gorgeous, and you know, New country, you know. But yeah, honeyway, it was kind of beautiful just to see that.
And I wanted to ask Luca if he'd if he watched his amazing races, like to see his nation represented beautifully like that. That's amazing that he proposed. Were there engagement photos engagement photos, yes, okay, but she would have been like eight months pregnant when he engaged. Now this is in the summer. I feel like it was just a little while ago. No, let me help you out, okay. Uh So it was like August Anna
Maria gold Tests is the beautiful She's beautiful. Da pop the question on July seventh, an ode to the couple's anniversary, and these seventh, number seventy seven on his jersey. Okay, so she would have started her second trimester by then. So if they are engaged, should be able to see evidence, Dack and shot good, Luca. Well, that's the official, respect, bro, that's the This is the official engagement photo. Look how beautiful it is. And it looks like Kevin and Roxy pretty much. It's really
the same. It's not just staring right at her belly to see if she's showing she's wearing a puffy a puffy skirt. Look at the beauty of the Please somebody take that photo and and and photoshop them at a jiffy luth the put Kevin and Roxy's head. Don't messle with her, She'll kill you. The so Marcus sentmeon had a playoff, I mean had a World series baby, that's true. Yeah, like like not after like his first kid. He's got, you know, yeah, like three now, I believe.
And then Dak we're learning is having a baby and it actually be in March. And then Luca now kind of seemingly out of nowhere, we've got baby feet. My guys, are you guys gonna have any more kids? Danny? Are you asking me now or three years ago? Three years ago? Was the answer still been No, No, I knew I was having a kid three years ago. Yeah. Because Malcolm turns three in March. I can't believe it's been freaking three years. He's growing so damn fast. He's
becoming the hottest number on air personality at nine. Won the freak. How the Panthers do yesterday? I want more Malcolm all the time. Well, depending on how the Panthers did, he might be nearing the lead and picks with Glenn's too, but yeah, this was the third year for him to go see Santa Oh yeah. And something that we do every year. And it's a strange little tradition. It's a very Dallas tradition, and I think it's been the case for a lot of people that have lived here for a
long time to do this. And it is Christmas at the downtown Neman Marcus Okay. And there are certain times when I do something in this city and I'm reminded of where I live and I think I can't remember what it was recently where attended an event was like, yep, I live in Dallas, and you get to see what the percent is of America of what this city is. Very wealthy, old oil town and just people that are dressed to
the nines at all times and just a very affluent community. Now where I live, it's not like that I don't I don't mingle with those people. I don't know those people personally. It's just not a world that I exist in, you know, living where I live and the friends that I have. But every once in a while, you get to do something where you kind of brush elbows with those people and you're you know, Cash is kind
of lit. He's kind of got that, uh absolutely, and the fact that he you know, where he lives and that cool high rise downtown. He sees that side of life a lot more than you know, regular people that live in this city. But going to Neiman Marcus for for Christmas photos with Santa is very much like that. It's a very nice, old mid century department store that's in the heart of downtown Dallas, and there's it's the
same Santa every year that we've been going. And we did it when Malcolm was so Malcolm was born in March, so keep in mind, he's about you know, eight or nine months old when Christmas rolls around. So we took him the first time, lost his f in mind, Oh bloody murder. And the photos are beautiful, perfect. It's Sanna and he's sitting on his knee, just wailing ass crying, mouth wide open, just sheer terror.
And I'm thinking, okay, well we'll get you know, get to year two where he's almost two years old, one year, nine months, same damn thing last year. But this year is the year. It's like okay, and he's been talking about it. He's like, go see Santa. Oh really, Oh yeah, yeah, he's I'm gonna go see Santa. Tell Santa what you want for Christmas? He goes, yeah, I told you what he wants for Christmas. Right, it's five things. Number one books, okay, number two, monster truck, number three, hot
wheels, number four, ornaments, number five, Christmas tree. He's like two others to journey get. Yeah, two of those are built to him. Ornaments. Don't waste one of your wishes up to the genie. I just love the fact that the freaking two year old can very perfectly phonetically pronounce the word ornaments, the ornaments. So he's all prepared ready to tell Santa. And we arrive and I'm with his mom and him, and we meet her family and it's a big thing, like her sister and brother in law.
They have four kids ranging in age from him three to ten, and then her parents you know, uh Mam and pop is what Malcolm calls them. So it's a big group of us. And we get there just about twenty minutes before Santa arrives, and there's Malcolm with the cousins and they're just going bananas in Neiman Marcus looking at stuff going through all the different toys that are around there, climbing on this giant bay that was just recently installed,
employees having to tell Malcolm to stop climbing on the bear. I mean, it's exactly what you would have think a total Christmas Time s show in a department store with five little ones just running around going banana sandwich is Thankfully the two of the older boys, they're just buried in their iPads, you know,
or phones or whatever. But you've got the three littles that are just going crazy, and he's in the best mood, doing whatever he wants, laughing, and then in walks Santa from the elevator is his head whip Santa walk. Malcolm didn't see him. Santa walked by. He looks up at him, and this was kick ass because Santa went with his alternate jersey. Oh really, he wore white. Yeah, he wore like an off white suit. He looked bad ass, like mostly white but red accents, a
little bit of red accents. But it was like a it was it was the city edition of Santa Hell yeah. Yeah. So he walks by, Malcolm recognizes it Santa, and he immediately starts bawling. Really, yes, he's all excited about that's what he's there to do. Yeah, he's almost three. Just the sheer presence of Santa in his world just sent him back to a little nine month old and he immediately just started crying. He's like and he louder than God in Neiman Marcus in Downtown. I don't like Santa,
and there isn't like a Beatlemania excited cry. He was so pissed about Santa. So we spend a good three or four minutes trying to get him to go talk to Santa. He won't have any of it. Like okay, So when he's younger, you can kind of control him the little bodies. You can like pick him up and set him on Santa's lap and he's
just frozen and crying and you step back for two seconds. He's almost three, and his little little air Jordans, his little baby Jordans, have the power of a wrecking ball, and they're always directed by laser technology to Dad's nuts always. I mean kick, I'm picking him up, going, come on, let's just have a seato it is I'm dealing with a rabid ferret that weighs forty pounds. Is away, Yes, so he won't have he
won't sit on Sanna, he won't talk to Santa. He has definitely wants nothing to do with a guy that's taking the photo with the stuffed animals going look over here, and wants nothing to do with him. So so this year and I'll bring it tomorrow, but I forgot to bring it today. It's it's family Santa photo. It's me holding Malcolm, standing next to Santa, Mom flanking on the other side, and I'm laughing, Mom's laughing. Santa's got this s eaton grin on his face, and here's my almost three
year old wailing just and he looks so cute. We were so ready. So all right, we're over three with Santa. Hopefully hopefully next year will be different. But do you even scream out ornaments? No? I don't even scream out any orders. No, he just he let the entire area
of downtown Dallas know that Santa sucks. Yeah, buck. So after that, and just to kind of complete the morning, and how dallasy it was, there's this big like it's kind of a buffet serving thing where they do this Neiman Marcus restaurant thing and you go in and it's badass food, a lot of holiday food, but there's a lot of other stuff as well.
They had some Mediterranean options and like ten different salads. It's like fifty five dollars you know a person, but it's really good and it's just you do that after you go see Santa and then you bust get out of there. So we're on the way out and Mom says, should we just try again, just to walk by and see if he's got a different take on Santa. We walk by and I'll be damn. Malcolm's like, okay, see Santa again. And we tried to get him to talk to Santa, and
he talks to Santa. He's like, Hi, Sanna, Santa in him, exchange high fives, and we're inching closer to getting a shot of him on the lap h He gets closer, Santa reaches out to pick him up, and he hates Santa again. A water works, the screaming, all of it, you know, laying down on the floor, kicking his legs. Yeah. So yeah, there's no change in that. Yeah, you know, he tried. Sanna is not the most welcoming looking guy, if you think about Santa is a total freak. Yeah, yeah, so again
it makes sense. Yeah, but all Malcolm, Yeah, he tried. I gave him a lot of credit. We were like, you know, you don't shame your kids at all for anything. It's it's like, dude, you did a really good job. You tried so hard to talk to Santa's had that to our bet payoff list You've got to do a Sanna. You gotta be Santa. You gotta be Santa, or go sit on Santa. You gotta be Santa. Oh you sit on Santa, but you gotta be Santa. But some type of bet payoff listeners can bring their kids up
here and sit on your last Okay, maybe not. I'll be Crystal Meth Santa. Santa's lost a lot of way. What of that belly Santa? Have you ever y'all been seeing the Grinch? No, people have been doing late the last few years. You can, yeah that, but they also have like have Santa come to the house, like somebody in the family who dress up as Santa, and then they'll having like an uncle or something dress up as a Grinch and come and take all their toys. Hilarious, And
it's been happening in the last few years. It's it's pretty good to handle that, but it's pretty funny. Yeah, he hates Santa. Hey, real quick, I brought up a pregnancy conception calculator. Oh yes, I'm trying to figure out when Luca's baby was Babby was formed? Right, would it be? Was it like the night after a Spurs game? Hey, that's okay, That's what I'm doing. Most probable conception dates March eight through March twelfth of this year, right week after mansball. I don't know how.
Let me see, it was four in a row. Really, a week after mass ball really, so he missed. He was out, and I'm trying to find what the injury was. I don't know, but he missed at least four consecutive games. March eleventh at Memphis, he was out, March thirteenth, Memphis, March fifteen, San Antonio. So he was either hurt or put in some time to put in some time. Do we know what the injury was? I don't know. If I'm trying to figure out, was it shake that tiny thing? Was it groing? Yeah,
growing fatigue? So he played. I'm calling in sick tomorrow. He played, Uh, it was too much. He played at New Orleans Wednesday, March eighth, and then he was out for at least the next four games, okay, March eleventh through March seventeenth, and he was just putting in the work, pounding lumber ty Luca lumber injury history. See I find that, well, he had fewer technicals now that he's got bigger fish to fry
at home. But I don't know. I think they can elevate your stress because that's the kind of stress you carry around because you don't want to take it out on your family, you know, So you just got to compartmentalize it and then maybe he'll even get worse on the refs, Mike what it was a thigh okay, And then he was back against the Warriors. How do you do? Uh? I think he did good. I mean,
if he played in the game, he was probably. So he was out Wednesday, March eighth, that New Orleans and then he missed one, two, three, four, five games and then he was back against Golden State and he did score. Yeah, he went for thirty seventeen and seven, So a monster game, like every game. But yeah, he missed uh, one two five games from March eleventh to March twentieth, time wisely and the yeah, the Prego calendar does say yeah, March eighth and then possible
conception dates all the way up to March seventeenth. Absolutely right, then humping. He wouldn't that hurt that? I didn't hurt that bad? Did it good for him? Weird? Because a dad and Dak's a dad. It's weird. It makes me feel old in like a week, Matt, two magical sports babies within a week. Well, I mean Dax isn't here yet. Yeah, oh no, he just announced Okay, yeah, you Dax
is coming in March. But still Dak is what thirty twenty four? Because of football narratives and there are so many of them, it's this is the best Dacks looked in his entire career. And it could be because he's gonna be a daddy, And I'm like, maybe he's just always been good. Yeah, remember that's he's playing for more than himself. JJ said double yeah, his daddy. All right, okay, although you just have daddy teeth
to the side of his front TiO. Those are the ones that get me worry about that at a later date coming up, What does this NFL weekend mean for the Cowboys? Playoff race. We'll tell you next time. Ninety seven won the freak
