This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one the tree push butouns at six am covering all the big stories of the day. Told you about the layer where they're hiding all of our intelligence. I like that story. All the history of our civilization hidden in a mountain in Switzerland behind a giant steel door three hundred meters into the ground may be unlocked, and an underground village pumping, pumping hard to this song. I'm pushing. He's real, real good.
Oh yet what good news? Tray MAVs tonight with the Suns A couple of murder mysteries on talking about the weird chiefs fans thing murder stories. I proved that I know more than anyone about the great state of Texas. Oh my gosh, I mean you lost in our exciting game show Mark Q Bluebonnets in the Bible. You went four of eight a Texas Adventure. You didn't know any of those? Right? A couple? But not off the top of my head. No, yeah, ARP, I knew ARP. You'd
heard of ARP, had you? Because it's funny? R P? No? No, no, had you heard of any of the actual Texas towns that I've mentioned? The cut and Shoot you heard a cut and shoot, I think I heard it's been a joke before or something. It was yummy. I'm real. Was a real town in Tennessee because I think I've heard that cool. I knew cool because we used to play the Millsap Bulldogs because it's out near Mineral Mineral Wells. Cool, Texas. What a great great
city, man market that market marketing. I went to the school with a kid named Mark Cool. Really yeah, spelled cool? Great great point guard. Isn't the Green Days drummer named Trey Cool? Is that real? Though? Mike Dirt dirt and you know he sounds like dirt. So Netflix did something wild. They bought wrestling. Yeah, they basically bought the WWE for five billion dollars, ten years, five billion dollars. Well they bought They bought Monday Night Raw, So ten year deal. Monday Night Raw will stream
on Netflix and I don't know, man like this. Also, they're gonna they're gonna get it, says they're gonna do all of ww's shows and specials so SmackDown, as well as pay per view live events such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble. So Netflix is starting to just jump in and say, very interesting. What wrestling has tried to do with that? Because they tried. They were on regular cable TV and have been a staple, like huge ratings
for all of our lives, like it or not. And then they created the ww network and they tried their own thing, and I guess that didn't work, and then they merged that with Peacock, and all their stuff has now been on Peacock where you can see pay per views and everything, and now they're jumping to Netflix. I didn't know until right now that you said that does include pay per views. Yeah, I'm gonna read the sense to
because it's a little confusing. Netflix will also exclusively telecast outside of the US all WWE shows and specially Okay, so the United States will remain on pay per view on but will you use this is also confusing, it's too much, too incredible, how fragmented all of this stuff is. No, I was a kid, you just had four channels. Yeah, okay, so it does still have pay per view events like WrestleMania air live on Peacock. Okay, so the pay per views will still be on Peacock. And then
I guess if you just want raw and smacky. You get those on Netflix damn at no extra charge. They just come included with your subscription. I think so, But I know Netflix is always changing their tier system and they're they're in the middle of that right now, and it's fully don't comprehend it. You know what one funny thing I read was rastling always is structured a
television wrestling proonstructured to have commercials. So if there's a match going on right Dingu and Kevio are fighting for the Italian Championship belt, you have gone down, Dingo, You've got another thing coming, Kevio. There is a funny Italian wrestler named Santino Morella, because there's always a few wrestlers that like comedy is their bit. Get the ready for turnbuckle smash. He's really small, so at this Royal Rumble, you know, the bit is that everyone gets
in the ring and then they throw him over the top rope. So Santino Morella, the Italian comedian wrestler, famously had the quickest exit in Royal Rumble history. It was one second whoa Like he slides under the rope and then whoever Caine smashes him back over the top rope, so he only lasted one second. It's all about how long you last in there. He struts down there, all tough, like a fakes strut. He slides under and gets hammered out, and he just starts screaming, I wasn't ready. I wasn't
ready. I was legit. I don't understand, okay, But anyway, the way they're structured is there's if a matches, if you two are fighting, and then we go to commercial. They have you know, the ref has an earpiece or some word. They're like, hey, blue, but whatever the code word is, we're going to commercial, and then you two wrestlers would just go for the headlock for about two full minutes, like there's resting moves, like don't do anything good because we're not on TV right now,
but the people in the building still see this happen. Oh yeah, that's right. So you guys would just kind of hold each other and whatever, you know, get in a resting position and rest and then come back for your big Uh. That's crazy high spot, as it's called. So what will they do now with no commercial? That's the thought, because it is still airing some places with commercials. I think maybe internationally. Well, we're gonna just get yes, the Netflix viewers are going to watch the Headlock
last for two and a half minutes. The curtain just peeps up. Yeah, okay, so we had a listener, good listener over on Reddit credit. It's a pretty good place to hang out too, if you ever want to go there and have a little have a little good time to follow over social media accounts of course, but the free credits. You know, we're just patrolled by listeners. How does the freak view over at ticket read it? Are we killing it over there too? I haven't been there in a
long time, but who knows her downbeat? Talking about watching the Royal Rumble this weekend. I think it'd be fun if they did some kind of better on it. Maybe each maybe like each pick a wrestler and last one of their pick standing wins at all. We need a fun bet payoff. Loser or losers have to create and dress as their own made up wrestling persona at an appearance. Black Nitrokevio and dingu Hell. They already have names for it. And then that has evolved to a picture I just sent you, guys,
and we'll put out for our listeners. Boy, have y'all seen the wrestling promo that they've got for Kevio, Dingu and Black Nitro. It is on Royal Rumble. Good Lord long beautiful, David Lee, Oh my god, beautiful. If I shave the beard, you can a woman the adonnas like Jericho back in the day. The Royal Rumble air Saturday night. Uh yeah, Saturday Night on Peacock. Yeah. Kevio has a bat under his nose. It looks like, so what's the story with the Royal Rumble,
Mike, how does it work? And please explain it to me? Like I'm Kevin. So there's thirty people. I think it's resting a right. Yeah, it's over the top Battle Royale essentially, but they don't all start
in the ring. Whoever drew number one and two, which is obviously all set up too, but they act like they drew numbers one and two go to the ring and they start a wrestling match and they're trying to throw each other over the top, and two minutes later number three comes in and there's attle countdown where he goes three two to one, and then don't cold like then the music kicks and the crowd goes yay, or they go, uh, this guy sucks, and then every two minutes somebody else comes in all
the way while the ring is populating, but some people are getting thrown out and whoever the last person standing, the last person to throw the second to last person over the top rope and their feet hit the floor. Because when Kofi Kingston's in this, who will land on his hands and hand walk back to the ring and he's not technically out. Oh my god, it's awesome. It's honestly, Okay, I've not watched Monday Night Raw in years.
I don't watch it, but I do kind of read about it. I'm just like to stay up on it because it's a fascinating, traveling, billion dollar circus that I think is really amazing. I will watch the Roller Rumble. It's if I was trying to get people to like wrestling, which I don't care, I might say just watch the roller Rumble because it's it goes up to thirty people. Yeah, okay, so you have thirty damn people inside that room. Well, people are getting chucked, so nobody gets stressed.
If no one gets chucked, yes, you'd have all thirty. I have just beaten the snot out of each other. Right, they turn to dance, but they team up. I've seen these back they used to I mean this this dates back to the eighties. I mean when I was watching it. Yeah, the fun is who's gonna come out next? And they
always have like that, like they'll have somebody way old. Are so much as a surprise, large and absolutely in this hypothetical that we drafted a team of let's say three wrestlers, how would we know because only eleven have been announced. We would need Brody know more. Brody, if you're listening, are you available to come in studio and bring your kid? I'll watch him, bring a little Siroy. I can check this and see who else is
announced tomorrow at this time or whatever. The eleven have announced a Cody Rhoads, Cempunk Nakamura yep, Bobby Lashley ye, Drew McIntyre, Gunther from Friends. No, that's uh, that's Brody's favorite Gunther. Dude, if Gunther from Friends was out there, actually rest in peace and things. Chad Gable otis otis there's a guy. Noticekira Tuzawa, Kofi Kingston and Damian Priest names see Big Superstars, Big disadvantage here, Danny, because he knows, because
he watches this. He knows. We don't know any of this. I do know all those people. Where's Michael Hayes and the Great KABOOKI. Michael Hayes could come out. Michael Hayes would absolutely some. They will have at least like two old superstars come out. Like you know, Jerry Lawler usually is on commentary, like one year, He'll be sitting there and they'll play his music and then he'll rip his his suit and tie off in his little
wrestling suits. Underneath. They're like, my god, the king is ending in the room and he goes in there and he'll get one person out, one bad guy out, and the crowd he is crazy. And then he gets funny. What about gold Dust? Yeah, gold Dust is uh still in the game. Well, oh, I thought you said he was in the I don't. Yeah, he's still alive. Okay, So if we have Brody come and tell us twenty names that he knows for sure. Oh my god, he already texted me most thing live. You're g damn right,
I'll be there. Uh your last two are Oh he already he has predictions, So we're not going to read those to you guys. Well, I say that there's a there's a whole fatal four way match, that they're not doing any of that, and I don't want to watch any of that. I want to watch the Royal Rumble. I don't care about any of the don't care about the fatal four way and the men's Royal Rumbles the first match of the night, Like you just start with that. I don't know.
He says matches, says four matches. I'm just on the Wikipedia page. What time is Ladders and Chairs? That's a different pay per view, tables, Ladders and Chairs. TLC says there's four matches, the Men's Royal Rumble match, then the women's Royal Rumble match. Yeah, we ain't doing that, we can. I think i'd rather watch the women You wouldn't a fatal four way match and then singles match for the United States Championship between Logan
Paul and Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens is great. So that's happening. Okay, we're not watching a three hour pay per views. I won't but probably won't watch any of it. Yes, I will tell you what, because look, I'm going to mask give Saturday. Anyway, you don't have to watch this Saturday. If we have Peacock sometime Sunday, maybe in the morning, I'll tell you exactly when it starts, you can watch. It's probably forty five minutes max in and it's fun. It's fun to watch. You
will not want to kill yourself. Has to dress up like either Kevio Dingu or Black Night Trip. I got my costume. I'm good. I don't know if we can accept that or did the other two pick the name of a new wrestler that you have to dress as and we'll do it either in studio fine, or we can do it at our next Alamo Draft House. Let's Freaking Chill movie, which is the sponsor of the last two segments today. Well, yeah, Ben and Skin will be their Tuesday night for Bottle
Rocket. Alamo Draft House and Richardson five do you have don't be locations of Alamo Draft House, but the one in Richardson's very nice by my place. I will definitely be there. Ever seen Bottle Rocket, looking forward to it. Luke and Owen Wilson. A lot of the scenes shot here in Dallas very cool and uh, that'll be seven dollars tickets and it's filling up quick. So go to ninety seven one thefreak dot com right now to get you
a ticket for that next Tuesday night. Somebody said, do a number drawing one to thirty. We could just pick numbers out of a hat. But again, we can't have all thirty because we don't know who's going to be in it. But if Brody Brody will know all the names that we need. I like the number thing because then we're like, we each have a thirty three percent chance. There's no strategy, right, yeah, yeah, I don't know anything, so like, well could be watching it, like
number eight's coming in. I got number eight. Yes, but you want twenty seven? No, no, no, no no. We'll pick names of wrestlers out of that random Yeah, at random, but we won't know who all of them are. Oh so you're saying, oh, you're saying to pick the number yeh through thirty. Spend them. You want thirty right because he's got the chance to win. Yeah, depending on who it is. Okay, that's good because then all thirty can be represented. We'd each
get ten. Yeah, and then we kind of don't even know. We'll know as it's happening. Who our wrestler is, right, and if you have number eleven and you get brock Lesner, whoever, somebody is really good. I feel like Reiner right now, okay, instead of no numbers, instead of like and we could do a public event. But let's do it like They've got to do a full in our sound stage in there. You gotta do like a full like pay for like a fifty dollars photo shoot,
like your wrestling promo shoot. Yes, all right, well let's hash all that out. Brother. I got even a better idea. You have to wear your wrestling outfit, go to Town East Mall and go into one of those little photo lab booths that's in the kiosk. You have to walk into the mall, buy yourself, buy yourself dressed like that, and then go over there, get your little photo, prove that you did it and bring
it back. I'll do it at Glamour Shots. It's kind of like no, it's like the old school little photo booth with the curtain that you go in there and take your old school selfie. You know, when you get your buddy in at least too private. What if you go to like a glamour shots you have. Talk to the lady and what package you like to purchase today? Walking into the damn thing, especially at Town East. Give us each man what's he wearing. It'll be fun. We'll hash out a
little bit more, but give it. I think. Give us each ten numbers. That means there's one winner and two losers, which is better for the audience, and the two losers go in and get pictures as a tag team. Yep to the mall with yeah. But then, okay, why do we need Brody here if we're just pulling numbers out? Just fun? He's fun. Can call in him up here if he wants to come up. All right, it's all right. I feel like we all have already. I do give it. I just feel like we've already hit our wrestling
quota for the week already. I agree A right, people like we're talking wrestling though the hardcore wrestling fans do. There's a lot of them out there, man, there are, and that's why Netflix did this deal. Okay. Talk backs brought to you by Advanced Hair Restoration. It's red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app. Here we go. Message is to prove a brody good morning, down beat. Listen to me, you swine nor money. I would beat you down into a pulp to which you mean the same.
Chrystal won't even know who you ah, But I'm trying to be a better person. Tom, Jesus, I want to invite you to Mike Troy's apartment this stat that to watch your royal rumble with me and the down people. Let me know he found Jesus? Is that what he said? His delivery is not as refined as Brody Well? He had some comedy in there and he was driving to work. I think that's why the accent is really good though accents alright, the nuance of Arnie. Yeah, pretty good? All
right, pretty good? Hey guys, Josh here. I grew up in millsap right next to Cool. And fun fact about Cole Texas is when you go through Cool and you turn left onto one eighty, you can stick your hand out the window and you go down into a little valley and the air temperature actually drops. And that's why Cool Texas is called cool Texas. I love you guys. Who new That's incredible? We learned something big news. Did you hear that? Cavio? When you drive down into a little uh
where the road dips. You hold your hand out the window, you can feel the temperature getting colder. That's how we got the name cool texts only in cool, only in cool. Hey, boys, sports at seven. There's other sports teams in the Metroplex, winning teams, teams that are doing good, teams exciting to watch, like the Stars. We could maybe mention them and talk about them a little bit. It's not MAVs at seven. Well, it kind of is every day see boys. Okay, First of
all, we haven't talked to them a lot. We're so bad about it. And everywhere we are, no matter what, no matter how good they are, we're so bad about talking about what do you want for me? The Stars are great, they are great, but we don't watch them enough and we don't talk about them enough. And I just don't know if that's a good or bad strategy, because you know, you've heard the quote, Yeah, the Stars have twenty thousand fans in the Metroplex and they show up
at every game. Is that true? I don't know. You're right. If we can spend a little bit of time talking wrestling, then we can spend a little bit of time talking stars. But I don't want to question what's more popular in this town. It's Mavericks are more popular than the Stars are. Yes, the Stars have better fans, and wrestling may be more popular than all. Yeah, the Stars have the best fans of any team. Yeah, but also, we don't know anything about hockey. I do
know, you don't. I know all about it. You don't know all about it. You don't know any about hockey. And news flash, some other Sessians don't really know any about hockey either, but they read stuff and try to ingratiate it. Now, some people do know a lot about hockey, but it'd be disingenuous if if we're doing a real breakdown of what went wrong with the Stars last night, I take offense to we talk MAVs every day because we don't. We don't, and we're the home of the MAVs.
Have appreciate your feedback. We're in their back pocket, and we will make an effort to make sure that we're mentioning the Stars a little bit more. Yeah, but does a psycho Stars fan really want three people who don't really know hockey all that well, even if we know a little bit about it. No, No, that's the that's the slippery slope is that you start talking about hockey then you're a sudden expert on it or act like you are. You read a couple of articles and go, yeah, man,
we really gotta get the pluck the puck out of the blue line. Man, they're playing in that neutral zone, and uh, you're you know, he starts using all the lingo and stuff, and they're like, you guys are posers. I don't even know anything about hockey. Then you get in trouble for talking about hockey, like you can't wait. When they make the playoffs, we'll watch as every men and be fired up, and that's how
we'll handle out and we'll talk about it just like you would. The majority of you that watch the Stars and get into them do it when they make the playoffs. I would just yeah. Also, I do keep up with them. I have a schedule of them on my refrigerator. Okay, what a fan. I go up and one if they have an overtime loss, or a two if they win, and I keep the points. I follow
the Stars pretty closely. I like them. Are you so defensive? Because he said we talk MAVs all the time, and we've talked about the MAVs. Literally, he was a week nice caller. He didn't criticize us. Yeah, Cavio, he was very cool stout cutting a promo on him. Don't get hot, don't get me in full Cavo mode, look out, go for kill. When I was a kid growing up in his Texas, we used to play this game called Deliverance. We had quite a bit of
fun for a while, but then people just stopped coming around. Yeah, okay, I wish that wasn't so guitar brilliant. We played this game around. Let's have that guy on to talk stars. Okay, people just quit and coming to our seat. Don't hands star? Ye when did the honor going to be back? Like to treat him like a little piggy. Hey, guys, this is Doug from Carrollton. The game Tackle the Guy with the Football. We simplify that. We just called it killed the Guy with
the Ball. I love you guys. Okay, that's any good, thank you. Tackle the Man with the foot it's such a long mad yes, football for a reason, a reason we have a professional league of Tackle the Man with the football, just because the name's too long. Morning, guys, and you tone down the energy just a little bit. Some of us are trying to sleep here. Okay, you're in your car. A new complaint toned down the energy. Kind of like where this is going? People
complaining about us, though, I do like where this is going. Keep it up, guys, Hey, dB. The way you do the Royal Rumblepool is everyone gets a number. So for instance, you can put numbers in a hat of one and forty two and thirty nine, and whatever wrestlers come out in those positions are your wrestlers. And for Winds, Winds done it with my buddies. It's fun. That does sound kind of really gambling it. I love it. I love it. We're doing it. It's
fair. Yeah, yeah, there's no strategy involved. It's just luck of the draw. Yeah, scout plans go to your house and watch it on Saturday night. No, why won't you invite us over to watch? I want to play with your dog wrestling and you've both been to my house, drink. I've never been to either of your houses. I want to break in your air frier. We haven't even talked, Mike. You got an air fire and you don't know how to use it. We're gonna help him,
just go by the book, man. I don't know if that's relatable enough for our audience. You don't think people cook that listen to us. You don't think people own air friers. You don't think that there are people that could call in at six thirty tomorrow and maybe want to win tickets because they give you the best air frier recipe all you gotta do. It's just sounds like somebody wants a food court tomorrow. Court Yum yum, Tennessee,
cool, Tennessee. It was maybe Jason Kid tomorrow to maybe go mavsh and go Stars
