You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, The Freak thirty minutes while the special guests call in the story it's a little wild had an animal in her house, a big one walked in on it, and crazy and other things including we now know who the Grand Marshal is at the Saint Patrick's Day parade. We do yes, step thirty at eight o'clock. Well, he's not he's not calling in, but I bet it's a Texas ranger.
We could could get him on at eight o'clock our show kind of in station, kind of you know, get some national news a little bit with our Jason Kidd interview. We haven't really discussed it is Luke. Is Luca better than Dirk Well, I don't know. We'll probably share our thoughts on that and kind of finding the sausages made a little bit because it is kind of a bit of a commentary on how media works these days as well. That's coming up at eight o'clock right now, we'll do this now Sports at seven.
I said, the Jason Kidd thing will hit in a little bit. I this while we're on the same thing. Though, when it comes to Luca, NBA's top selling jerseys. You guys will play this game absolutely New Info Out purposefully avoided this link on the On the shared page, it did say do not click in huge letters, yes to it. I followed the rule, I too. How gonna go? This is NBA stores sales from the first half of the season. First half of this season. Yeah,
top fifteen. I'm gonna select Luca doncic Luca, he's number six, number six. Yeah, I'm gonna select Lebron James number three. Okay, I'm gonna select Janis HP Tokupo number five. I would like to now select number one, Victor Wembanyama number four. I would like to select Jason Tatum number two, Steph Curry number one. Yeah, I get seven in a row and he gets all the points for number one. Fiction look at him to
get his backpack up, and he's leaving. You're the dude that's been putting in the effort at the bar since ten thirty, and then the swinging dinger walks in at and says, come with me, yes, how many times that happens? Ever, poor Sap grinding, hard working, emptying his joke bag, and then the ding and struts in worship the human helicopter struts in. It was even more traumatic because the guy was a fan of the King Bucks. Yeah exactly, the guy thought. Actually, the guy was probably
in the king Bucks. Now I can admit that may have happened once. Hey, what are you doing? Oh no, I don't know it. We're about to go home and disappoint the hell out of this woman. Six for six so far, gentleman. Nicola Jokic surprise number fourteen, Jokic seven for seven. You guys have three strikes kind of surprise steps that high. Just now, that's a safe one. And don't forget dudes like that like old school. Are there any retired people in them? No? So current
players. I mean, I'm trying to think of like hot rookies other than Victor. I don't think noh, Jalen Bronson. No, what about Kyrie? We're talking? No, No, Kyrie, Jimmy Butler. We are having these aren't guesses this tape of talk take it easy over their lunch meat lunch Anthony oh, John Morant, probably Morant, John Morant, Anthony Davis, Jammran Actually is I'm sorry, I no Lakers are always safe. John Morant is number eleven here you go, ad, I'm gonna go with Anthony
Zion. Yeah, I was gonna say Zion too. Oh, I got one. Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant number eight. Ooh JJ, says Devin Booker. Yes, correct, Devin Booker. Seven. She's Kevin Durant eight. She's good. Eleven Moran, you hat six left six. You're not gonna get one of them? Number nine. Tyrone MAXI of the six Ers, kind of a star now, how about I'm sorry Tyrese Maxey. No Haliburton. I wonder how close he was because he started to becoming a huge
deal. Damian Lillard, Oh yeah, John Rant, Joelle and beating number twelve? How did we miss that? The MVP mellow Ball thirteen, Nikola Jokic fourteen and dearon Fox fifteen? There it is. Did you have have Luca six? No Derek Lively tonight or which reportedly it's not. I guess it's not official, but it's been pretty much reported that way. Derek Lively, we have uh, Kyrie Luca all out tonight against Minnesota. Yeah.
Now, if you said Kyrie and who Luca Luca? No Luca, no Kyrie, no Haliburton or Jesus, No, uh, Lively, no, couple other people, but I miss something is Luca? Is Luca just getting a day off? What does it say? Foot leg? This what Here's what this feels like to me is we can't do this. We're gonna get
stomped by Minnesota, so let's not even try. And it is one of those I mean, maybe they fly, maybe he goes to the game, but they're they're back at home Saturday night against Milwaukee, so it is an opportunity to get Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Tuesday? Was it Thursday Friday off. I would hope that he wouldn't travel, but I'm sure he will. You know, I think they give him a day Yeah, oh Luca, Yeah, don't try if you know he's not playing.
It's a one day, one shot. I've always said leave him at home. But I guess why is the league require this? A Maybe they need you dressed up cool on the bench. Maybe yeah, why let that dude sleep? That's what I'm saying. I mean, this thing Luca's been doing is unprecedented, and I hope the average Mavericks fan understands that. And because it has not amounted to wins. He is asked to do more than any other player in the NBA, and it's not even close. And that's
why you're always seeing frustration from it too. A very valuable player, Yeah, they valuable, maybe the most valuable player, and after having so much praise bestowed on him yesterday by his head coach, whether it be you know, accidentally or intentionally. More on that later, Hey, give the kid a day off too. I think it's extending goodwill to the guy that you're terrified is going to leave right or insists that you get fired. Now.
I think this is also a great that wasn't sorry to interrupt. That wasn't lost on you, was it. But by the way yesterday, the potential calculated nature of what went down on our show yesterday. Yes, okay, I have a couple that are I don't even know if we'll talk about that. I overthought I don't think. I don't think you can't overthink it. Yeah, it's very interesting. All right, eight o'clock we'll talk. Jason
kidds smarter than he sounds. I think that was very calculating. Okay, absolutely, I think this is also a showcase all the other fellas and up some trade value night Timmy. Timmy's awesome, by the way that is. I mean he's shooting more threason he's I think ever shot in his career and he's always been a pure shooter. But he's playing great. There is value in tim Hardaway that maybe wasn't even there last year because his numbers are inching up. But yeah, this is a showcase. Get some value out of
potential tradable commodity. Okay, let's have the Jade and Hardy show. Yeah, if it is a show, what they got an increased trade value night Jayde and Hardy. Hell, I don't here, but you have to trade things to get things exactly. We never really got to We never got to Jane Hardy with kid, but I had a bunch I want to talk about there. Yeah, because that dude, if he gets tons of minutes, could what average sixteen a night? He should be playing here a night.
And now it might be not for a good all around team because he's kind of just a go get bucket dude and a liability on defense. Maybe right now, yeah, you know what tonight could be for Minnesota? Huh, trap game. I'm not saying the MAVs are going to win. We like the wounded animal theory around here, but if all the animals are wounded, I don't know if that quite worked. There's so many wounded animals breaking into houses. Story on that in twenty minutes. That's Kevin Turner. Oh,
tease, tease, I'm Kevin. That's Mike Danny JJ Now. Jerry Jones at the Senior bowlers today had some comments A little interesting. Timberl was favorite by fourteen and a half. Sorry take the mouse take Okay, I kind of agree. Take the points on that. I kind of agree. Take them out. Oh it's human nature. They're going to overlook Dallas so hard tonight. They're gonna mentally take a night off. They just beat Oklahoma City on Monday, and Anthony Edwards said we won despite the cheating ass refs,
Yeah, God, that was. He's a kind of explosive, awesome. He says crazy stuff all the time, and I love it. As he's reaching into his wallet to pay the fine, like when in the quote they say, you know what, I'll pay the fine? Did all right? Go ahead? Sorry, well, I'll say Jerry and Steven talked at the Senior Bowl yesterday. Jerry said we're not getting the ball in, but we're hanging around the rim. That's kind of weird that he was using basketball references
to talk about how close the Cowboys are. Well, he said, let's not discount hanging around the rim. I was like, it's football for a reason. I don't even know it makes any sense. Was he trying to issue this sentence through a mouthful of hot dog? Well, yeah, and Reese's at the Breese's Senior Bowl. Oh, I think he's right on that. You don't think so, No, they're hanging around the rim. Are the two seed in the NFC? That's you're in the paint. Sure,
at least you're in the paint. He said. I thought we made a pretty good move four years ago when we hired McCarthy. He's had some great D season success. Now he's come up short three times in advancing is in the playoffs. But I like the fact that he's hanging around the rim, and I like what the team has done to hang around the rim. So I think what the answer that I would have is that I'm aware that we're
hanging around the rim. God, it's the same stuff. He also did tell someone, And I don't think This is like in an audio interview. It's like that he would have no problem working the Bill Belichick. He could absolutely make it happen. Why would he even say that? Because he loves it? Juice juice. But that was not the big you know, Jerry talking was not the big story in town. It was Jason Kidd saying that lucas better than Dirk about seven times more on that today? Did you is
about them cowboys? Your podcast? Or it is? But you weren't on it in the most recent one, unless they did one without me, which is very possible. I saw I saw some clip of someone I don't know who it was. Is a showdough on with you? Are you getting phased out? Do you get phasing you out? Are you focused on? Who moved my cheese? You haven't worked too many rush in the past or too took a lot of my time this year? Your other football podcast? What
is that? Uh? I don't know. Mexican food reviews and Giant defensive lineman talk. Uh? But it was something. It was a story about who used who used to work for the team. I don't say that, oh Kent? Okay, Well, he saw giving the guy who made our down meat uh, digital draft wizard can't And he said, uh, and this may be old, but he was talking about how in the war room, you know, he they have access to all. He got in trouble for that. It should not say it. No, I think it's fine.
Was it just the other day? Uh? Yeah, so he said after he didn't work there anymore. So when he worked for the team, like all the phone calls that come in and go out, they're recorded, but you don't you don't hear him live. So he said something about how Detroit called the Cowboys war room. I don't know if this was in the most recent draft, and Steven answered, and they offered a trade with a
Lion's player, a good Lions player allegedly. And he is reviewing all this tape after, you know, the draft had been completed, and if I screw it up, let me know. And not because it was Kid's job there at the time. Too. Is doing a lot of things. He was making, like documentary for the Blue Star Network documentary and stuff like that.
So they have all the video footage for the phone call. They known it all happen, and I guess Steven gets the call and here's it never brings it up in the room, like, doesn't ask Will McLay did he say something like whoever? That is, like not really knowing who the player was, didn't pass it on to any anyone else, didn't say anything. And then Detroit calls back like ten minutes later and you know, want it up there, Hey you're interested in this trade or whatever? And he said,
no, we're not interested. I don't know. It was just kind of shit. Yeah, it was walking. I'm like, wait, really, it doesn't surprise me. No details of who the player is because that was one of the protected pieces of information. But yeah, I think he heard from the team on that. Although I don't think the Jones family specifically would care, but I think maybe the people or come website side might not love that. But I mean, I'll tell you, I've seen like the
things that I've seen just working covering the draft there. It's nuts. Man. The day they got Dak the war room camera that you can see, they were covering it up with like a it was like a page of a program that they had taped to it and it fell off. So fourth round in twenty sixteen, they took Charles Tapper with their first pick. I can tell you a funny story about that. But you know, as those picks are twenty picks away, Jason Garrett's standing up, but he's starting to mimic
throwing the football. And I think it was me or David Hellman or one of the Jeff maybe you know, tweeted out Jason Garrett's mimicking throwing a quarterback a football in the war room. I don't if they're trading up, but like they're clearly thinking quarterback here who had they met with a million times Dak Wade Wilson, who was alive at the time, was a champion of Dak.
Dak is not here without Wade Wilson. And like they kind of got mad that we were putting that information out there, but it's like your cameras were showing us what was back there that that morning of that draft, that same draft, Rod Mary Nelly got excited and wanted to tell me and Jeff about Newt Rockney. He takes us back to his office and starts telling old
war stories from Notre Dame. And I'm looking around Rod's office, just kind of sniffing around, like Luke and Owen Wilson in that first crime scene, and I look up at the projector screen. It's the Oklahoma defense and I'm like, okay, they've got one guy in the draft, Charles Tapper, the only guy they're gonna take that. And they did like you should know all this stuff because they it's all out there for you so that all you have to do is look and Kevin did. Kent doesn't work for them anymore.
So I don't know why that would be a thing, but you know, I don't know, but to get a call and essentially a trade offer and not really know who the dude was that was offered, and not share that info with any of the many people also in the room, and then they call back like, so have you thought about it? Ah, wait to climb No. Bady said no, and it might you know what I bet it is though. I bet it's a it's a we're not gonna let
Jerry know about this because he may do something weird, Eddy something. We're drafting our players. We know what we're doing. Keep our picks. Big survey came out. It was on Zillo. You guys know Zillo. I love Zillow, Zillo gone wild, I love it. It is real estate crack porn. They put out a survey to a certain amount of Americans, and I don't have the full sample size with me. Unfortunately, No,
there it is over two thousand adults. It is kind of crazy that we have a website that if you walk past somebody's house you need to know the layout of it. Just pull up Zillo and see their address and you can see all of the where their closet is, their bedroom. It's insane everything, It's incredible. I do that walking, Simon, I do look at home values. Home values, what's your estimate if something had just recently gone on the market. I'm curious, you know what, because in my house,
in my neighborhood, all of the houses are basically the same. Yeah, and I'm cheering home values to go up once a week. I'm looking at that house is selling for that I'm the same and see the value of everyone around your house. It's crazy. Sorry to interrupt, Well, what's over two thousand people were surveyed? Right? Who would you want your neighbor to be? Of football players in the NFL and the NFL, who would
you want Tyreek Kill is not on the list? Mike would you his house burned down because his kid is playing with a lot told guests former or current current. I bet I was going to say Andre Risen, but another one that you just wouldn't great guests want great case. I thought you said two thousand arsonists where survey? Is that all? We misheard you? Yeah, I heard you. I bet Dak Prescott is on this list. He's not. He's not. No, Oh my god, that was the most famous
football player in the world right now, Pat Tom Brady. No, well, Pat Mahomes number two, number two on Pat McAfee. No, Travis kel Travis kel that's the number one pick for who people want to be their neighbor. Yeah, I would pick Mahomes over Kelsey. Kelsey Homes. I don't know, man, Mahomes. We saw in the quarterback he's his dogs are getting into it, the neighbors dogs. And you never know if Jackson's gonna come by. I guess just Jackson visits alone. Yeah, reason I'd
rather have Jason visits. I want Jason because Jason times, when you're at home, it's like, God, I can really go for a beer and you just want one. And I bet Jason's just got a keg. You could just go over there and take your little plastic cup and go Yo jay y. You don't have to ask, thanks, bro, Just go Odell Beckham, Lamar, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey. Who wants to live next
to Odell Beckham? I mean two thousand Americans? I don't know. Halftime performers though, of of the past, who would you want to be your neighbor? Of all the halftime performers?
