You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak recognize a goal on the thing. Good morning news coming up in thirty minutes. We have so many really exciting, super cool stories coming up, brand new Beatles movies in the works. This is a pretty wild story. Uh so, yeah, brace yourself for that. And trouble at the Eiffel Tower. Oh, oh, trouble is it falling over? No, it will not succumb to the to the to the Pisa standards. It's straight in, erect and right
down the middle. A lot of stuff in Europe starts leaning and then falls over. If you're just joining us the Russian, I'm sorry. The Europe satellite tracker is on. Whe're t minus two hours and forty two minutes expected, although they did have a plus five hour and minus five hour margin of error, so it could happen during our show. Once that satellite lands, we're gonna let you know a SAP. But the latest prediction is nine nine am Central time, all right on our watch, and that's earlier. That
could be in the old Continental USA. I tell you what that is looking like. It's on a crash course to the Panama Canal. Huh, Central America, no even close to you look like a two thousand miles from the Panama. You're looking at the same map we are. You know where the United States is? Right? You see it point to where that you think the United States is on the big map for the little one at one point to Kevin the Oh's House's house. It does also go through Italy over here.
Do you know where Italy is on that map? I do. It's the one that looks like a boot, Kevin, I do. Do you know where the Panama Canal is? Yeah, it's in Panama. Do you know what the little football is called that the boot appears to be kicking? Uh f me pomp. I believe it's called crete? Oh? Is the big one? Crete? There's crete? Is one of the little footballs that don't want to believe? That's right? Am I wrong? Is it creepe them out there? Well? The horse? Yeah? I think creates right?
Which is one that Napoleon was banished to? He was he was banished an Italian island. Yeah, that's did really Scott do that Napoleon movie? Sorry, Cicily not crete, Sicily and Palermo is in Sicily? Right? Crete? Before we do sports. At seven guys, we placed a bed by the way. We were having a little discourse. We did the dayten of five hundred bad. I'll be paying that off in the next few days. I gotta do a couple tweets responding with wood smash to random people,
including Robin Hitchcock. I have to do a u. I had to wear a NASCAR shirt around here for a week for a week, a wacky NASCAR shirt, and then also a painting, a beautiful painting or drawing of Bill Elliott. And I have an elaborate piece of artwork that will be happening soon and I'll be able to show you, guys what I've done to pay off the bet. I did remember what our h our kind of crazy bet was,
which was Danny wearing panties outside of his jeans for a week. I would have to create an OnlyFans account and post pictures of my feet and Mike on the back of his head. And if you, if you guys probably all know listening, Mike is bald, bald American. Yeah, we're gonna have to We're gonna draw a face on the back of his head, and I have to wear all my clothes backwards and walking around the backwards. I love it. I hope I lose this one. I remembered that that's the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bet. Oh there you go. I knew we made the bet. I remember it. Yeah, this morning I was so that was that bet was secure? Yes? Yeah, we drafted among the twenty whatever nominees. Yeah, fifteen nominees. We drafted five. The loser will have to so I get to walk around here for a week like like the worst superhero of all time. Parent man jeans and size twelve panties. Get you get in trouble for that if you don't tell anyone what do
you mean? You know, what do you mean just to show up with panties on the outside of your jeans? I mean, honestly, probably not frowned upon. No one knows we exist up here. I mean they don't even know. There's only like an hour long window and anyone will be up here. So just really treated like humans like it was not. Now. The S and L bet, which we loosely determined, will be a phone
case changed for a week. We will order a phone case. The winners will order a phone case for the loser of our choice, you know, to change your phone case for a week up here, kind of I don't mind losing this one. That could be highly inconvenient, especially you can't put it in your pocket. I've I've seen the foot and you know, if he wins, it's gonna be the foot that we talked about for a year. It's huge, just the size of a human foot. And your phone
just slides into the foot. Yeah, your phone is in like the bottom of the foot. What the hell? What is wrong with you? Well, it's a funny bit. So we did this draft back in September the SNL season began, So we drafted ten each musical guest or host. The season runs from September to May, and yesterday they dropped the next two episodes. So Saturday Night it'll be Shane Gillis as your host for as your musical guest is but I know we didn't have them, and then we have next
week will be Sydney Sweeney and Casey Musgraves. Oh somebody had some of that, and ladies and gentlemen points are on a board. Danny Bayless gets his second Sidney Sidney Sweeney. Danny is in with Sydney Sweety and the Foo Fighters be tuned in next week. Huh so two for Dan, Mikey's sitting strong at two with Timothy Shallowy and Jason Momoa and me at one with Olivia Rodriguo. Now after the Sydney Sweeney Casey Musgraves episode, I mean, that's that's
a double header, Bro, That is a double header. Casey Musgrove is great too. You got how about this doubleheader? Josh Brolin, Oh what my favorite in Ariana Grande? What holy crap? And looking at it, well, I chose Walking Phoenix, so that's not quite Josh bro And Mike chose Taron Edgerton. That's not quite Josh Brow. And Danny chose Sean Hayes not quite Josh Brow. And it's nothing there. I think Ariana Grande,
I have a chance that I I don't know, man. I chose Nicki Minaj not quite a. Mike chose Selena Gomez and in a pinch, you know, you might go up the same era Grande Gomez, but Node Gomez. Danny chose Doja cat Oh, not Ariana Grande. Non us chose Ariana Grande. Okay, so the only point was for him getting Sydney swinging. Yeah, so that takes us through March. Ninth season ends middle of May.
We're hitting the stretcherr on of the S and L phone case, nut cutting, Tom and Danny and Mike have a lead or I would be the loser once again. You're I'm on a bad spell. I never lost a bet on the Benning skin Show, and I am. Now you're paying for the grand you want at Choctaw. Yes, you are all balances out. Yeah, the satellite's probably gonna land on your house. Just wedge into your dishwasher hole. Wonderful. I wonder if Kevin doesn't have a dishwasher, but
he does have a hole. I have a dish function. Is there plastic taped over where the whole? The whole is. No, the dishwashers there just didn't work. Is it yellow? Yeah? Do you use it? Yeo? No? God? Do you use it for storage? I should you put an extra cab it if you're not gonna actually, you know, turn the thing on. Yeah, I'm gonna start keeping stuff on it. I thought you were going to buy a dishwasher with your Choctaw winnings. I'm
considering all options right now, including selling the house. Uh. Oh yeah, downsizing, same plow cut back, you gotta cut back. So, yeah, you are a danger of losing every bet we've we ever do on this show. He's lost them all. It's terrible and you're losing this one. I don't like it, but that's what it is. So here's that thing us Morning News. Soon we're gonna talking about the biggest story in the world literally at eight o'clock. Yeah, we're talking about Danny's upcoming music project
at nine. And all your music people are like, won't you with music anymore? Well, we're gonna do it, Danny's music project with Skin at nine. Is that your impression of music fans that listen to our show, Yeah, it's the people who bitch about us about things they don't like about the station instead of to Vin thinks so well, instead of going through proper channels, Kevin thinks of you. I'm just saying, don't bitch to us about it. We but we tell you we'll listen. Absolutely like use an
email. I don't think it's bitching. I think it's just expressing. No, it's feedback, which I love and want. I welcome negative feedback to because you know what I do. I see negative feedback and I go, wow, this these are possibly ways that I could improve. Yeah, that's how I look at it. To Kevin, I don't just get defensive. And I'm right, No, I'm saying I can't change anything. That's all I'm saying. They do misunderstand how much, how little say we have.
They change things on as quick on this world. So enjoy your every minute while you have it. Is it because we didn't have a program director for the first seven months of the station that they think we're in charge, which you're looking back at it, we probably developed a lot of bad habits. Yeah for sure. All right, I'm glad Zach's here to whip us into shape because we damn sure needed it. Nikey, that's right. Is this Kevin at seven? No, it's sports at seven? When are we going
to do sports? Kevin does four hours? He does not do one, just one seven. I should just do seven and Kevin at seven? Bro sports at seven? Now, JJ, So there's your problem. I don't feel like the satellite's really moving on this map. I was just taking that it's in the same place. Let go, it's YouTube. It could be over our heads. It's YouTube. But the timers going on it. So
it's still why don't the astronauts on that satellite just aim it? I don't think I don't think it's man, Mikey, do you do that this was not man? The link that I mean? I just went to YouTube and searched the satellite tracker and the one this one is labeled out of control in all caps. Yes, the europe E r S two satellite, or there's a satellite plummeting towards Earth and could hit on land. We will let you in America in an hour plus. Where do you think? Point to where
Panama is? Point to the Panama Canal? How do you even know where he's pointing? I know Panama's I know where's at? Where is it? What does Panama do? What is its main functions? My friend too, but Jeff, Jeff's buddy Pooky used to live there. That doesn't help. How does that? Because you're what's Jeff went now to see Pooky one time and I pulled it up on a map to see where Panama was. But you see these lines and you said, it's going right for Panama, and
then they're not going anywhere near Panama. I knew more about the Erie Canal. Do you know where that is? Up North? Okay, all right, start Kevin at seven? Now it's not Kevin at seven, damn it. Eric Glively will be on the Ben and Skinshew today one thirty badass? Do you want some of that? All that? Wo'd be good? Huh? Like Derek C. Lively fun one on the Ben and skin Show. Now, there's about a lot of talk with the All Star Game? What's
going on? And then Evan Grant wrote an article in that was Morning News. I forgot about this because we won the World Series. The Rangers are hosting the All Star Game this year. Who we get the base game? Okay, yeah, that's in my brain. Underreported like awesome. I forgot, And I don't know, maybe I haven't been tracking Rangers news too much because I kind of want this just to linger for a little bit longer, like we won, and once you start playing games and losing, you start
like going on, damn it, Bullpenjually not good now. Chris Young did say, yeah, Briefrainger report. Chris Young did say, I think I don't think we should expect any more additions at this point, which means we might have lost Jordan Montgomery, thank you, TV deal, Josh Young's her, you know you sall calf thing going on. But rest these guys who got to report in the middle of February to spring training. I don't give a crap. Take a month off your life gets consumed by that game of
baseball. No rest, rest, rest, I don't mind a missing three weeks. Who cares? Spring Training's too damn long. I bet there are so many people that feel like I do, is lifers that have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this to happen for so many damn years. I could victory lap this World Series victory for the next decade and not think twice about it, because I've said before, will you trade ten years of the
Rangers having the worst record in baseball for a World Series championship? And the answer is unequivocally yes, yes. Whatever happens, well, you know it stops the care. But what stops that a little bit or what might stop that a little bit? All right, maybe it won't for you. For me is when they start playing actual games, and then I'll be like, well, blid Lee and these you are questioning every and then you get to the end and you want to chase that high that you had last year and
feel it again. Yeah. Yeah, the windows just now opening, that type of thing. How many wins did they have last year? I think it was close to ninety. I'm trying. I'm looking it up because that's unfair for me to ask you. No, it's sounding fair. I think it's like, uh, you know it was because you know they ninety That was a job. It was so wild about that is because the last month of the season the team sucked like they did was bullpen talk. We were
calling him out and just like who's bad? And all of a sudden, the bullpen turned into actor. I mean, what Spores is going like, look, clerk, I remember one of my favorite quotes, and the whole
boache effect is just fascinating. But we were all bitching about the bullpen, remember, and he's like in boachy voice, you know, He's like, Well, it's like something like in any walk of life, it's hard to have everything working perfectly, and most of our stuff is working really good, but it seems that are a lot of people are fixated on the one thing that is not working all that well. And it's such a simple philosophy,
but it's so true. I mean, how many aspects. There's a dozen aspects of a baseball team, and most of them are doing really well, and we it's human nature whatever, bull bet, Oh no, this the one bad thing, the one bad thing, and that's just experience. And you know, his life's work basically to kind of remind you of that, like, yeah, stop yelling about the one thing that's not going well, and then that one thing that's going well kind of carried them to the biggest
wins of the year. Steady hand, steady hand. That's the thing, man, if you are in control of something like that, steady hand, don't and try to block out the noise of the yappers. Where are my shares? It's just hard when our stock price is going up, you promise me this, where's our bullpen? This sucks, steady hand. It's just hard when you're like if your offense is slumping, like, okay, we
never had the lead tonight. When you have the lead, trying to get to the finish line of the baseball game, and bullpen is a loud one the sport that doesn't have a timer on it. You're just trying to get to the finish line. When you lose late, that's a loud loss. So I can see why that frustrates people. So, yeah, they had ninety wins last year, and their Vegas owned over under for this upcoming season is eighty nine point five. They put the number exactly on on what it
was last year. I might say, under I'm worried about pitching. There's five teams with a higher expected win total than the Fighting Rangers, Astros, I dang it, Dodgers, Hey Yankee, Hey, yeah, I'm done, guess it. I don't care about other teams you got, you got three of them. Give one more. Orioles, no Race, Philly, No, Philly's Diamondbacks, No, no, no, never No. Dodgers said, I know you're gonna move on until Cardinals. Oh my god,
I'm gonna read every team Boston sucked last year. It ain't that the Nationals, the Marlins, the Brave, who's wash managing this year? To Dodgers, the Angels. That's right, that's gonna be so great. That's why I'm gonna watch baseball this year. Yeah, and the Angels are interesting. This is a big story about the Angels, like Mike Trout obviously kind of
getting the Dame Lillard effective like I'd like to win here. But and Anthony Rendon, who they signed to a big amount of money, is like the most hated guy in baseball now because he's like, baseball is too long. It's just a job. I hate it. I mean it's like, hey, guys, kind of amazing. It's just a job. But yeah, so yeah, so there husting Yell Star game, and Evan Grant wrote a
few things just about what's gonna be happening there. It's gonna be they're gonna incorporate the old ballpark for some staging and things like that and all that area, and they're gonna look where the lake is, mark Olds Lake and the East Sports Center is, They're gonna have to incorporate all that. There's gonna be a lot of outdoor events and they haven't figured out how they're gonna handle the outdoor part of it because it's gonna be one hundred degrees. What are
they gonna do in the lake? Well, just that area of like where you can park and just pick mill and just so yeah, because now it's huge over there, one hundred degrees. You're right. So for the outdoor stuff, they're also talking about the amateur. They've moved to where the baseball draft is now the same weekend as All Star Week, and they're talking about doing it at the stockyards, just so Arlington didn't get everything. Okay, that's fun, that'd be kind of fun. The uh they did something like
a Pike Public market last year in Seattle. So I start looking for like these like landmarks in these cities. We should have everyone throwing briskets yea and catching them, you know, throwing briskets here. I didn't get to it. Well, so our big ass fish dude, their conversion rate on throwing those fish and catching them, it's amazing. Are they fired on the spot if they drop it? No, because they do drop it, but they throw the fish over your heads. I've never seen them drop one. I
don't know if I've ever seen him drop one either. I've been a Pike's Market thrice. Boy, it's fun. They wing those fish. I love that place too. I love it. And they have the little not finger foods you can go get like a a shrimp the size of your arm, arm shrimp arm shrimp, okay, and cocktail sauce and like you don't have to stop at a restaurant. You can just kind of stop at places. Yeah, and just I'll have to try this. I'll have some of this.
Stop out a window, get you a showder. Yeah. They also have the original Starbucks right there, and then they have Beecher's Cheese around the corner. Tell me more about that. Go get the cheese curds at Beachers. It's called the Squeaky Cheese, okay, and they always have samples. The flag the Beacher's flagship is always you know, they have a toothpicks and you can just try it. You ain't gonna go in there and not leave with some cheese. They may even tricky in a getting cheese shipped to your
house. And it's not a trick because you're proud every time the cheese shows up your house. You're proud of what you did. You're happy, and then you eat it at home. You got one of the best cheeses from the Pacific Northwest. You can get Beechers at Central Market. I think it's a great well, damn wag hodge get it there what I got from the
don't want the flagship. Does Beechers throw the cheese at you? No, But in the front window they have a huge vat and they are mixing and making the cheese like if you were at a fudge factory back in the day at the mall, you know, and they're making the fudge and cutting the fudge in the cutter. People like to see that. People like to see their cheese being made. People like food and they like fish flying through the air. So yes, fish risk it huge fish cooked or raw? Uh?
Probably raw? Right, If it's cooked properly, its explode, delicious explosion. If it's cooked proper Yes, that's the key. Yeah, I would think about food too much now, horse barbecue. Man, I'm gonna save my teas of the weirdest way to get kicked out of the Olympics until eight thirty. That's a good idea. But coming out next, it's Danny's
Morning News. Let's talk about these four four Beatles biopics. What that are in the works and coming out real soon at a theater somewhere near you or somebody else.
