You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one the Freak. Ever when again way AMAgeddon is ruined for twenty more people. Hell yeah, so sorry. I also saw that Riah carries that's the one that drives people nuts. Yeah, and it's the number one on the Billboard chart again, the Billboard Hot one hundred yard. Again. We should have been on this and had Danny writing a real, legit, beautiful new Christmas song. And here's the
trick, right, what you do you call it Christmas in Texas? Yeah, Like, we don't need to go national, but you do that every and you make it gorgeous, a real song about how wonderful it isn't tech whatever, we're our own nations. People love Texas here. Yes, there's a billboard by my house that say it says, how do Texans order in favor? And it's like, I don't, I don't know. Maybe it
does a Texas company. I highly doubt it's a national food delivery thing, but there's just how to Texans. There's a guy like who looks like he's in a cowboy hat and he's or he's got a hamburger. The hell no, I ain't getting door dash getting Texas does grub Hub my ass right? Ober eats uber can eat this. I get my sta from favor. Just target that Christmas in Texas. Texas pride, Man, it's real thing, I know. Yeah, so let's make money off of it. Yeah,
like everyone else is doing. Yeah, everyone is pushing everything to the side. Safety. That's the point of all of the pride. No guard to make money. Just go get the money and then you need a truck in Texas. Yeah, is the best in Texas? You know, stuff like that. I'm saying that's an example. Thirty minutes away JJ's top ten movies of twenty twenty three uninterrupted, maybe uninterrupted. Let see before you get into sports, did you see that volcano in Iceland went ahead and you rouped it?
Yeah? I mean I saw the headlines anything any juicy Magma shots, any hot sprintzing Magma shops. There were a few good images, but nothing iconic or classic. You know, we've seen the big The lava though, was rolling towards the towns as the towns were evacuated last night. Another were in towns even closer to it that had already been evacuated two weeks ago. As we Yeah, they were on top of this. I told you on this show. As we keep you connected and informed. We're live local laughs
right here, just telling you what's going on man in Iceland. You want to do anything, you don't have to, Like you just go to work and tell people see that that I Iceland volcano went right and they're like, oh my, I didn't even know. So, yeah, I was listening to a freak water cooler conversation check mark. Then you go back to your office and you play mind Sweeper, yeah, and feel good about your day. Yeah, your work has done for the day. You've done it.
You told a pale So yeah. Jaja's top ten movies of twenty twenty three coming up in thirty minutes, right now, let's do this. Go and now Sports at seven. Now we are the home of the Dallas Mavericks first and foremost, so let's start there. Max lose one thirty to one oh four last night. No Derek Claveley, no Kyrie Irving. You got a full Luca thirty eight points, eleven boards and three an eight assists. He was amazing as always, he's he won't you don't want to just say his
hands down the best basketball player in the world. But he kind of is right now, and I'm not. You know, look, Yokich didn't have to do anything yesterday, and he's probably the best basketball player in the world. And I was thinking this real quick. Okay, JJ's leaving. That's probably for the best. Is there anyone that thinks Nicola jokicch is like super hot? Okay? What? Okay? I don't think he's hot, but I think he does some hot things, like his full court length passes.
Okay, No, he's an incredible that's not it. I'm saying hotness like in his native land was like fanning themselves, like I mean, maybe they are, but I don't. I don't. I'm not an expert in Serbian men. All those Serbian women. I'm sure they're amazing, very nice. He's just very nice. In fact, one of the top ian's when it comes to women below Lithuanian. Oh yeah, he's just kind of unsightly. And the dude had eight points last night. Now, granted he didn't even
need to hardly play because their bench had about seventy. Yeah, because they were whooping our ass so bad, they could just put their good players on the on the bench and replace them with with bench quality dudes, and they just lit us up. I mean, granted the MAVs had backups in from the whole fourth quarter and kind of punted because they were down thirty. But Luca was amazing and he got zero help. No, I think what no one else No, nobody had double digits other than Himmers. Oh no,
Dante ExHAM had eleven. Don't worry, got your back. Yeah, I'll pour an eleven for you. He was six for six on the field. I didn't understand wy he wasn't getting the ball more. He's actually been pretty good. He's been very nice. Surprised now the whole thing too, Like nights like that where Kyrie's a play you need Tim Hardaway to come and do stuff, and when he goes five of twenty ones in the field, Well,
I didn't get much out of you. I couldn't help but think this could have been a good load management night and Ano they're trying to avoid that, but man, you could have made up a quad injury or something and had Luca just kind of chill out and just run the pump team out all night when they lose to a team hung with them for the first time. I know it's the thing that was close for a while and then you know, just just too much, too much overcome. They need to get Kyrie
back lively. I mean it's an ankle sprain boys bo. He said that yesterday he is important, so to give him back a big one tomorrow night. The Clippers are sixteen and ten as well, same record. You get the Clippers tomorrow night with James Harden, Kawhi, Paul George. Good one at the AAC tomorrow night. I won't be there. Yeah, I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna get in there. You got tickets or crab get
get tickets. Old on my cousin's uh basketball team. My cousin coaches high school basketball team and they play at the AAC tomorrow, So I'm gonna go see them. And then as part of a deal, you get mass tickets with it and the mass plach bar on as well, so they play up before the MA out. Yeah, they play in the afternoon. You're gonna probably something like high school basketball tournament. They do. But my brother played at the American Ryland Center one time. It's kind of crazy, that's cool.
Yeah, I was like, come jealous, and you're gonna stay there all day. It's a long day. I think you clear out and then come back. What are you gonna do? Uh No, because I think I'll have more time. I think going two or three hour may go to bish of Barts and got done there. That's where I live. And we get in there and we go to Wild Detectives. You know, Yeah, we drink at Wild Detective There was just some reading walking around Withay go for a jog, We go to the range. Let me know if you're and
Bishop Arts. Eagles help out the Cowboys sort of. I mean, it's weird. But the Seahawks went last night twenty to seventeen because the Eagles were Honestly, they never really looked good all night except for that first drive. Jalen Hurts was sick. The Seahawks a minute before the game starts, are like, yeah, we're gonna tell everyone that Gino's playing and then we're gonna have drew a lock. Start to anger. Daily Fantasy sports owners everywhere not
me and avoided that. But that was a good game. It's very fun to watch. I enjoyed it. Crowd was hype. I mean, they always are there and that was like their season on the line there's seven to seven though, yeah, needed it in the mix. But yeah, that was good and again we mentioned it earlier. Rock Wall zone Jackson Smith and Jigba with the game winner under a minute left bomb they got man coverage on the outside all alone. Drew Lock told him in the Hoddle if it's man,
it's yeah, a great catch. He caught the back half of the football control, got down in the end zone and they popped man. That was a fun game to watch well live in the world. Now though, where the Cowboys at ten and four, the Eagles at ten and four. The Eagles again have the Giants, Cardinals. Giants, you're not confident in them losing. Cowboys have Dolphins, Lions, Commanders. The Cowboys somehow went out get to thirteen and four. I think Eagles could lose one of these
games. I really do so. I think they could still win the division. Get the home game, avoid your early crash course with San Francisco. Very possible at Dolphins home, Lions at Commanders. Okay, it's more alive than you thought it would be after the loss on Sunday, for sure, you know. So there is that the thing that we're most excited to talk about today in sports? Though? Is this, Mike, you sent me
a tweet last night? I saw this yesterday in the afternoon, and it was this thing popped on the internet and it's former running back Rashard Mendenhall, who I guess I mean Steeler for most are all, yes, Steeler. I think it was Cardinal Harden. Oh yeah, you're right and uh he He tweeted the following, I'm sick of average white guys commenting on football.
Y'all not even good at football. Can we please replace the Pro Bowl with an all black versus all white Bowl so these cats can stop trying to teach me who's good at football. I'm better than your goat. Okay, let's bring back segregation. Well that is a hot sports opinion. I'll tell you what. It's the best Pro Bowl idea we've had in a long time. Oh my god. You would get you would get regular season rating at least. I think you would get players trying to you might get playoff ratings.
You'd get effort. Okay, the best Pro Bowl idea ever. Well, the number one question is who gets mahomes So that he's black, so we get them. I don't know, so we get it. I support women in power. She carried the baby women empowerment rule is if your dad's black? Is that the rule? I think he's not allowed to play. No
form a team of halves. Okay, No, the way that because a million people responded with some great videos, some of them incredibly well thought out, with teams laid out, and I guess the consensus thought was the it have to be the biracial draft after after teams have been mostly assembled. So Patrick Mahomes would be probably the first pick for the sake of the next ten minutes. Let's rule him out though, because just for the sake of our
discussion here, because I've been thinking about laying out the team. Okay, No, when the season started, they were like, we the most black in the quarterbacks have started like season one, like the most in history. He was on that list. Yes, but that's because I think when those lists are made, I think the white people are like, we kind of had them all forever. We don't need No. No, I'm not one of those list makers. But no, this is funny because this puts to
in a weird position. Well yeah, but it's not like you'd be counting on two. It would be either side starter, like relying on it when dax mom white, DA's mom was Whitey's black. So wait, you don't just decide that that's how this works, that's how it works. Who's they I've never heard this. The head coach of the all black team is saying that, you know, if anything, the mom as the carrier should get
Yes, she's doing most of the work. Oh so now all of a sudden, y'all, we support women is what we do in this room. Sounds like you don't. I do support women. We could have Mike McDaniel as our coach. One of the weirdest thing is he is mixed. Yes I know that. And when because the Dolphins fired Brian Flores, who I loved and was very mad at the time. I'm not gonna say I'm mad now because Mike McDaniels seems magic, but like he got hired and it's like,
all right, this dude's weird. And then they're like it's also another minority higher and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, I fist up barely crossing them what he's got in there. But he's like one eighteen minority head coach of the Minmy Dolph. So this got people fired up, and the truth is, we can't. And I will say we because I'm a If you can't tell I am a white male Kevin, if you feel like identifying yourself, you yes, I'm I'm okay, just
unfortunately just so wide. Yeah, I mean I couldn't be. Yeah, So look, for the sake of that, we will say our team for the sake of the hypothetical, Okay, because everyone's like, let's put the insanity of this idea behind and actually try to lay out a squad. And for the sake of the white team, we would probably need some of the biracial guys to fill out this secondary. We need a little help on the
defensive side of things, especially in the secondary. It's more fun to do the offense though, Okay, yes, and I hey, Brock parties not quarterback. I'm just telling you it might be Josh Allen. You could do worse Josh Allen or Joe Burrow or Joe Burrow he's hurt. I think it's got to be Josh Allen right now. I like how this entire hypothetical does not exist if Christian McCaffrey is not alive and playing football on Earth like we
we wouldn't have even an argument to make. Yeah, because he's so dynastic, but we have like the best running back in the NFL. He's just out of nowhere is a white dude? Truly, I can't think of another white Yeah, Rex Burghead maybe, but he's not on the level. And it is sort of bizarre that Christian McCaffrey exists. Well, and twenty years ago Peyton Hill has existed and was the cover boy on Madden right, Matt
Suwey for the Bears, Like very strange. It's just odd that that he exists and he's as good as he is and consistently just dominant and pretty much hands down the best running back in football. But because he does, the white team has a fighting chance here. Tight end with Kelsey whoever great it's tight end gets you a good line. Offensive offensive line is super. Yeah, we're gonna win in the trenches. One All Pro, all NFL, all legendary. We get Zach Zach Martin, you get quinnin Nelson, Jason
Kelcey, Jason Kelcey find at center gets you a nice tighty end. Travis Kelsey, Yeah, or you know you have tons of good tight end tight ends. Yeah, if you want to, we'll say, we'll say guys receiver. Okay, it's okay because you have Cooper cup right, Okay, yeah, the whole crown winner last year, like one of the most dominant receiving seasons of all time. And now you just got a real quickly slide at him feeling in on the other side. Move on, we got a
rotate going. Can we go two tight ends? I think I would rather have two of the tight ends than one of the yes and wide receiver because he could go like a Kelsey Kittle or Kelsey Mark Andrews or Hockins and like Mark Andrews. If he's healthy, fine and feeling's fine, he's good. He's you know, slowing down a bit, but he's you know, but he's what you need. Who's that? He's what we need. We'll put theling in there. Okay, yeah, okay. So Josh Allen was the
last night did Bobo Jake Bobo for the Seattle He's terrible? Is he a nice little yeah? The preseason Noah Fans was there, dude, or oh you see receiver? Okay, a tight end name. So we got Josh Allen Christian McCaffrey, Cooper Cup, Adam Thelen, Travis this right now? Okay, So on the other team, Man, where do we start? I mean I would say lamar, but I'm out the voice here. Yeah,
he told you Jayalen nours over Lamar. No, No, are we leaving out We're leaving out the the Yes, you don't get Patrick's home. Yeah, there's no, there's no way we could play fair. All right, whatever for once, He's fine, whatever, God, once, we just want to play fair. We just want to make it even for everyone. Everything. Whatever, Let's play fair for one time. God. Oh, I guess right now. Yeah, i'd say I'll say Lamar, it's Lamar, Lamar. We didn't run. Man, we're gonna start. Can
go wrong? You can't what you get? I mean Barkley Dargonry. Okay, now see look, none of that is I don't even know, but none of that is his scary as Christian McCaffrey advantage. If you look rushing yards in the NFL right now, Christian McCaffrey has almost thirteen hundred, you know, second in rushing yards. Dry Henry is pretty scary. I know. He had a terrible game the other day. But he did that man coming at you. I think, I don't know if you were around I
met him or didn't meet him. I saw it at the Super Bowl one year, me and Donovan and we're just standing there and Derrick Henry's walks up stands right next to us, and all we talk about for like a year after was imagine that man mad trying his hardest to run at or over you. He was so big and scary looking, like when do you think of it? Like that thrown the little kids? Yeah, running that ball. I mean, but he's no Christian McCaffrey. I mean, well, Christian
McCaffrey is kind of like an all purpose type of player. I can, I can like get a couple of players to cover the fact for Christian McCaw. James Cook. James Cook is second in the NFL and rushing after they ignored him for good part of the season thanks to his last month in the league. Rahem Moster is third and not even the best runner on that team. You're gonna see this Sunday Walker looked k Williams. Yep, these guys are all really good, but advantage But like I said, I can,
I can get a couple of players to add up. Yeah's not even you, Jamiir Gibbs, He's not. He's now just kind of getting rolling because of David Montgomery getting hurt. So I mean, I canna find somebody to cover. Let's fill this thing out here. You taking, Okay, I'll go and get one. You'll get one, all right, I'll go for the bruiser. Give me Derrick Henry all right, fine, advantage white team
all right? Wide receivers, okay? Uh, Justin Jefferson, Nope, why no, because your first pick is Tyreek Hill and this game is all got to get three? I was doing. Okay, you could have trust me. Justin Jefferson not back. Probably a Tyreek and Chase. I'll say, Justin Jefferson, Tyreek and Jamar Chase is hurt right now. She doesn't kill three wide receivers. That's not for their team. I thought I'm building a whole team here. I'm sorry. I mean, you could even talk
to one. I'll say, Tyreek, but is killing Keenan Allen off The border is here is because he's amazing, Michael, I mean a j Brown, Tyreek, amazing, Stefan Diggs, anyone you want, Yeah, Mike honestly, Mike Evans fine, having over here in Tampa. He's gonna be free agent next year. He's eligible for your team. Mike Evan, you know he might have We'll take Mike. You're right, Michael Pittman too. Yeah, as soon as Tyreek runs on the field, we're gonna start defense.
The game sort of throwing up. You don't have any cornerbacks. It's kind of a DeVante Adams. Fine, and who you're tight in there? J j that's becomes a bit of a it's just David Joku Gosh a big boy. Yeah, I like David's awesome doing Joker. Okay to think so Lamar vus Josh Allen. I mean you can have cop pits Tae. Take Lamar, Darren Waller, Take Darren Waller. He's back in healthy? Is he is? He back? He's always right though one game out of him
we would get smoked. Minden Hall is right, Yeah, he's right. We have no corner offense. On offense is a great battle. Our past rush is amazing. Well, it's great. We have any and all watch and Max Crosby and linebackers were okay with Miles Garrett and Micah and Rashaan Gary. Yeah, so even but I got what yeah, I know, like past Russia, we'd be okay, linebacker, we survived, but we have to just have Max Crosby. Fine, don't care, that doesn't that doesn't
effect his status. All the tattoos. Ok the secondary is obviously. I saw one dude who's like, look, not kidding. If this game happened, Christian McCaffer, you're going both ways. You're playing. There's no doubt you're playing corner. We're putting you a corner. Figure it out. You got to keep everything in front of you is the whole game. We don't have anybody at corner. Were Smith and just put whoever your secondary is back then blank and Ship at safety. I'd like to see this is a week
league on the Wigs, on the league's worst worst passing defense. Jeff heat still kicking around anywhere. Hey, hey we got the kickers though. Yeah, okay, we couldn't offer to every time. Okay, damn it. We gotta we get there. There's a black partner in the league, isn't there. Yeah? Yeah, uh, Percy should be. Reggie Roby used to be a Marquis. Yeah, but there's a black punny. It's Percy something, Percy Harbor. I don't know, not Harbor. The Steelers got
Presley Harvin. Presley Harvin. Yeah, Okay, that was fun. And you know what, let's not battle each other. Let's all work together and make both the NFL and the world a better place. Because of harmony in boring a f C and racism, it takes all. I'm gonna start wearing a message on my head set across the top of my headset, like the NFL players do, stop the hate and that'll fix everything. There we go. Mine's gonna say it takes all your jobs and we can all wear our
cleats. Our cleats are cause we did our job. Coming up next, JJ's top ten movies of twenty twenty three on ninety seven to one. The Freak
