You're listening to the downbeat. On ninety seven to one, the freak guys were thirty minutes away from tray smoke from Crowley calling in. He's the man who lost his giant monitor lizard named Dino, and it's maybe on the loose in your neighborhood. Yeah, that's how you have to do it. It might be terrorizing your neighborhood. Yeah yeah, up in the trees, Yeah, in your house, could be in your house. Get the information you need from us. At nine thirty five, something you guys didn't even mention.
We were giving the MAVs some love. But their two new acquisitions is that they're probably gonna land Dinwiddy too. No, is that not gonna happen? So he did sign. He chose Lakers. Sorry, I didn't see that. He took one and a half million from the Lakers. Damn it. We probably offered him a mill, so I'll take the extra five hundred. Can you think I don't know. I bet it was the same, and just chose the Lakers who are as I was thinking a little bit about
Lebron. If you're Lebron, you're going damn. I really enjoyed being at Super Bowl last night in my box because I'm Lebron but he's also going. Damn the MAVs got that. I was even thinking about Oklahoma going. We sent them, we swapt picks with them to help facilitate this. They're better than us, now, you know I thought about that. I just wanted that badass hair. Yeah, well, you know, we'll have to just hope that Derek Lively grows his hair out. Nobody looks more like old school
doctor j than den Woodie. Yeah. I think it's a Derek Lively's birthday. I heard Ben Rogers say that out in the hallway. What does that make him? Twenty? Somebody's that twenty one? Maybe Ben, skinned, Christina and Steve will be here from ten to two. I want to wrap up a couple of things from the postgame show. Okay, so go to the podium and what anyone wants to say about Nance's great at his job,
one of the voices of our generation, twenty God and Jim. Nance first talks to you know, Clark Kant, and then you move on and you talk to Andy Reid. I found a good drop from Andy Reid. Uh crank me up, please, JJ, here we go. How about that D baby. How about that D baby? He's looking off and nodding, how about that D baby? How about that D baby? But then it goes to Patrick Mahomes, and you know, he does his thing very very
simple. We're gonna we're gonna celebrate this one tonight, guys, and we're gonna celebrate this one Wednesday back in k C. And then we're gonna get back to work, like what, take some time off. Here's zero and zero again. Already that means all of it's hopeless. Then, I mean I thought about that a lot to realize that it is. We'll get it back into days. Here is Travis Kelcey, and obviously Travis Kelcey takes a pro wrestling vibe to pretty much all of these situations. There's tailors on the
field just making butterfly eyes at him, and here's Travis. How about old Vegas, Old Vegas. Hey, Elvis never had it better than that, right there. Let me tell you to win this. I think Elvis did do it better than a little bit. Hey, Elvis never had it better than that, right there. Let me tell you to win this one. When we met a couple of days ago, you know you said and I'm not looking ahead, but we got a lot more we want to do here. Baby, you said we want we want a three peat? How about
that? Well, you know, the goal has always been to get three, but we couldn't get here without getting a two. And how about it we get a chance to do it three times in a row. Okay, I was sitting there watching that going. One of the most powerful women in the world is with the guy who just said in front of the thousands, we want to get to three, but you can't get the three without getting to two. Right, right, honey. And then he continued his long
going battle to fight for his right to party. Yeah, are you ready? Yeah? How do you get excited for that? Baby? You go party Las Vegas. They get back to it. You still gotta fight for your right, don't you. You gotta fight for your right. Believe the guy, I'll see y'all next year. I got Travis, as you know, they're going back see you next year. He's referencing a song that's almost forty years old. Yeah, off license to ill. He's fighting for what
I've always understood is more of a privilege. You know, if you can afford it, and you've got the free time, and you know that's your thing. Partying isn't something that you should necessarily have to ever fight for. And I think the right it already belongs to you. And I don't believe there's anybody trying to take those rights away from us to party. Last I checked, no, but this is where But that's his that's his platform.
It's fighting to make sure that every human is secured they're God given rights to party. I support quoting the Beastie Boys in twenty twenty four. I'm just I'm not confident that he's a serious individual, but he's not a serious man. The two maybe the two biggest players in that game. The catch on the drag, Oh my god, turns it up field breaks that guy's collar bone. And then the second play of the middle, Yeah, the tight screen up the middle and he just bulldozed this for ten yards. He's like,
three man's on him. We're done. And so it's fine, no tailor talk. But again, you guys watched it. Watch it a little bit better than I did. We made it through the first quarter. Not that it's a good or bad thing, but it went the whole first quarter without going to her suite once Okay, how many times did they actually do it? Maybe a lot after that, because when the chief started doing something, they would get her initial reaction for a second. But it felt like
it fit fine. I thought it fit. I thought it was just a part of the story of the game, which it was like, I mean, yeah, you can't fight. It was a part of the story of the game. And I thought they did it perfectly. He's dating the most famous woman on the planet arguably, and you know you can't avoid it. They would get shredded if they if they just didn't show her. Oh, I would have paid extra for a little tailor cam up there when they weren't
showing her. Sometimes I was like, stop showing the San Francisco forty nine ers, kicker, let's go up to the booth. Oh I wouldn't have known Lively. Hell yeah, I wouldn't have known that, someone who I feel is infinitely more talented than her visited her sweet with Lana del Rey there, who is supporting the forty nine ers on that? But yeah, what's that? Leonardry is great? Red fight you on that? Okay, she's
great, it's objective. We had ice spice, ice spice. I'm saying that yeap was MILEV Teyler up there with his Uh, I didn't see that, but Miles Teyler and I think Miles Taylor's girl is friends with Taylor. I think, yeah, okay, okay, So here's it. So you have that. You got you know, maybe the most popular comedian on the world of the world, Travis Kelsey up there, and then you follow it up with more of an opening act in Mcole Hardman. Listen to how fast
Jim Nance gets rid of gets rid of Michole Hardman. Hey, Michole Hardman, you scored at the super Bowl winning touchdown? Man? What does that feel like? Man? I feel great. I'm telling you. I'm blacked out when I caught the ball though, so but it feels awesome. Well, listen, take that and go celebrate with the rest of your teammates. There it is the Trophi's in the hands of the chiefs. Okay. Five minutes of Travis Kelsey is t help. Nancy introduces him. It's like a
third grader just won the pee wee League. Listen how he talks to him. Hey, Nicole Hardman, you scored the Super Bowl winning touchdown? Man, what does that feel like, did you put him on the head About that? Buddy? You know, what would you do it? Look what you did, Little Sailor. Your dreams really do come true? Right? And then I mean again, you've hit your apex. He's yelled, we got to fight for the wreck to party. The crowd things along, and
then, man, what does that feel like? Man? It feel great. I'm telling you, I'm blacked out when I caught them at though, so but it feels awesome. Well listen, take that and go celebrate with the rest of your teammates. There is the trophies in the hands, so the chiefs back to you, guys. I thought that was funny. Very he blacked out. That's kind of kind of cool. That's what happens to me when you have a sudden trigger of emotion. He had a joke he
maybe he forgot to take his pill. Yeah, Kevin. No. Buddy Levi Weaver, by the way, twenty minutes away from Missing Lizard Guy, my buddy Levi Weaver over at the Athletic did a big piece and it was like ranking the halftime shows. Okay, and he had a criteria that I think is important here, guys. Music instrumentation vocal performance, staging set list, how memorable is it? Did it bring energy? Did it worked vibes? And then geographic relevance. He put a little small point scale on that.
Did they incorporate a local act Sometimes that helps, Like the La you know, hip hop celebration with Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg. We go to Usher A few clips from Usher. Now he opened, Uh, I didn't pull what he opened with. The open was caught up. He did not wear sunglasses. Did not wear sunglasses. We get to about song four though, one of the big hits, Love in This Club. I'll just kind of play you guys a little clip of that. Had not didn shun ye
kind of thing if it comes out. I think I didn't think about if there was anyone out there who just did not like or had just had like a hateful tweet or something about the halftime show boo, the sucks. All of you would be out of breath after ten seconds of ushers act doing what he does. Yes, yeah, of course, I mean he's like the stamina and of course conditioning to do that is the number one thing that stood out to me because the dancing does not stop. I like how sweaty he
was. I think the whole world did. Was that a big one? He got so hot he had to remove his blouse. Yeah, I joined the ushers Gusher's Facebook group, Danny you got declined? I did. I asked to get in. So he does love in this club. Then we switch over to Alicia Keys song. Did create a meme when when they're standing up in their next song and they're hugging each other, she created a big meme because he's standing behind her hugging her and she's like laughing at the sky.
Are they former lovers? I don't think so. I think everyone's a former lover of Usher, right, I mean you just kind of I don't know. They were very intimate. Yes, Yeah, they did my boo. Yeah, okay, you know that's what the one j on there. Don't yeah on the air baby, because I know a few years ago they did a song on my boo, but they've never been linked to each other. What swit's beat? Okay, So I don't know. He kind of did the shape of her butt with his hand and there was a little very
sexual man with the Mickey mouse glove. She uh, she's a pro though, right, So you know he is great. Then let's go to you Got It Bad, which is one of my favorite Usher songs. And uh, then we get a special guest ripping a guitar solo with someone it's her. I definitely thought about Christina Ray when this is going on, just a bad bitch going out there shredding a guitar, and it all felt real right it was she's playing, they're singing. Alicia Keys's voice just cracked in her
opening line and she got it back. Yeah, you know, I love that. I love hearing them actually perform, man, And like you said, all that dancing that Usher's out there doing and being able to carry a tune. And I don't know, they didn't really focus on the band. I don't remember seeing any shots of his band. I know they were up there. I think a lot of that was live, but some of the background vocals were just too perfect to be live. You know, there's they're
playing to some tracks. Yes, but that was live. Man. It was cool. I thought. I thought that Rihanna last year was just exceptional. I love that performance. This one wasn't too far below that. I thought it was an incredible halftime show. There was a lot that went into this with you know, I'm dropping a stage. They were on the ferment
and going up to the stage. I kind of like, I kind of like in that same area of Rihanna, and I like the weekends from a few years ago to kind of putting that in the same area because this is where though, to me, it gets bonus points and goes to the next level, because you do have the ultimate hype man and we should all have a little John with this moment. When they put on the roller blades,
I mean the roller skates and I mean you can skate. Holy crap, Now that is talent and this is turned down for what and oh my god, it's building. We did it a game John, and Little john'son the crowd. You're ready to get crazy, I mean right now, and to put him in the crowd, and they did a good top and making the crowd looked genuine a lot of times the other fake the crowd doing the clapping
and it was just kind of like messy. He was just in that sea of people and that this song like turned down just that building whatever, and the camera guy like there like it's like obviously those people are probably like no, the camera guys is gonna be there. Don't hit him. Theo's probably extras, so like you're supposed to be there. They were Yeah, that was rehearsed, but it was genuine. It looked like they were they Yeah, Oh I loved it. It was so that part was awesome. I
mean, you knew that's where it was headed. Yeah, but there's still even though you know what's coming, you still you're getting chills and you're getting jacked and amped up for that moment. And there's Little John played again. Just then tell you're ready to get crazy, Yes he can, and then Martin Kimer and giving now having pends on stage up Captain Harold Varner the third of course, that led to the big hit peace Peace, so a ten, Yeah, don't care, how should problems get at? Keep your time
to know. She knew what I'm nicking. She was feeling the magnet. You would thank you. She know me more so I decided to take your gun. I got up and the top, let's go everybody badass. And then Ludicrous comes out and dude Luda owned it. Man and his hair is insane, witty hairstyle that didn't have a weird ending. Okay, the ending will end up losing points on this halftime show. If you're going by the grading scale that I laid out for you earlier, that was bizarre. I
talked the world today. I talked the world to the I talked the world to the jail chaill, jail, jail cheer. I Love you. That was it, And they immediately went to the Apple Music graphic like so quickly, guys, get out. We had a big Beyonce commercial we got airhold on. I thought it was great. I thought it was great too. That's the only thing I saw with audio on live, you know, being at that fiesta yesterday. But that was great. Were the ladies all bumping
and grinding, going crazy. Some of them were talking over it. I did the look, you know, the look back. Yeah, yeah, I get a stern look back. Were you in the splash zone? I don't know. They weren't that fired up about it. They're just talking over it. Hm hmm. That's weird. Not mi, not our ladies. They were locked in. I thought it was great. I was excited to see it. I thought it was cool, like the Vegas implementation in the
beginning, with some circus stuff and people flying around. That was great. Good cameos was great. I didn't know, well, I knew most of the songs, but a couple I didn't know. But I'm only sha Keys with that gown thing she oh know, it was sexy. She's a bad I like the roller skating too. I thought that was really cool. I like the good build up too. You didn't come out and hit the home run early. It's okay, we're gonna do this. Yeah, yeah,
starting the end zone. Yeah, it's kind of like our six o'clock segment. Like they started on the field, you know, and just kind of let the game come to them and they blow it up with like the Lizard Man We're about to have on. It was great success. The Lizard Man, Jim Morrison, the moment you've all been waiting for. So there is your Super Bowl halftime show, brought to you by Apple and Usher. And
then Beyonce is like, I guys have got new music. Here's a Verizon commercial, which there's big heavy rumors of Verizon in the sphere too, like the Verizons with the sponsors sphere. I got a feeling get Beyonce at the sphere. Got a feeling that's what's ghost But so yeah, it is kind of funny though, Like everybody's going crazy about Taylor taking uh, the opportunity of her winning a Grammy to make her announcement of her new record. Beyonce
says, yeah, I got one too. I'm gonna make my announcement at the super Bowl. In the super Bowl commercial, I was thinking about the strategy of releasing music like none of even lesser names like though, like Casey Musgraves and Justin Timberlake huge names, right, they both like releasing albums in March, like March fifteenth. The timber Lakes is like March twenty second.
I think right around there, Taylor comes out announces hers April nineteenth, and the Beyonces is March twenty ninth, And I'm like, well, everyone's gonna forget about the Timberlake album. That's not gonna stand a chance there. So it's the Beyonce thing hits. But I was thinking if it would have been badass of Beyonce said April nineteenth. Yeah, now that is me though, trying to pit two women against each other. Kevin when they standing alone consue
it. But even when she announced it, sorry Jampan, even when she announced it, like all she said was new music is coming. There was nothing else about it. Everything was on so it came out like fifteen, like our website, everything was on social and left its left it at that. We're all refreshing Twitter. What's gonna happen? Literally, what's gonna happen? And then you see the and it was just like update every like five minutes. Incredible picture of her Texas hold him hell yeah? Coming up next.
His name is Trey Crowley. Now you've probably never heard of him, but you have now because this man is missing his monitor lizard and Crowley. His name is Tray Crowley. I'm sorry. His name is Trey Smoke. I'm so sorry. Nimme is Tray Smoke and he's from Crowley. Oh cool, and he's missing his gigantic monitor lizard. And it's kind of a wild story we'll discuss next to ninety seven one The Freak
