Day a little bit later. Also birthdays coming up in one hour. Drew Pearson, Cowboys Hall of Fame wide receiver of the original eighty eight Drew Pearson calling into the show for picks with glenns.
You'll be able to call in two and take part as we picked two games, pick the Cowboy game in another NFL game, as we do have done every week here in the regular season so far. We'll keep that going up. But our celebrity guest is not a mystery this week gets Drew Pearson. Pretty awesome Drew Pearson and Cubby Everson walls on in the last month, so that'll be good. But right now we want to give you a chance
to win some MAVs tickets. We'll have to give away stuff. In fact, tomorrow we'll do a little bit where you have a chance to win a mystery prize from the Downbeat. That'll be tomorrow at nine. We're the home of the MAVs, Kevin, we are the home of the Dallas. That's how we're going away maps tickets. Maybe next week we'll be giving away tickets to Inside Sports Medicine with Doctor Teo Soreale, which were also the home of But this week it's MAVs. Well seven am, come hang out with too
on a Saturday morning. That'd be great. Yeah. Now the thing that we're gonna do here because we all loved I think we all loved it. I loved it. I think you guys may be a little more questionable. I loved the floor on Fox. Did you guys like it? At least I lie back for episode two next Tuesday, if you remind me. Yeah, it's gonna take a gentle reminder. Yeah. And I think I set my thing to record all New Me too first run. I was, uh,
this will take ten seconds, don't worry. I was walking Simon yesterday, long walk, beautiful day, and I was walking by this house. And I'm always looking at house in my neighborhood, you know, because some of them are redoing. I love it. It's it's look at that fence, look at that It's a great old man pastime. I'll even stop and just stare, and I'm like waiting for them to come out, and I'm
just gonna it's beautiful house. But anyway, I was walking in and I kind of glanced over and I see the blinds or slightly slightly open, and I see this guy in his living room just watching the floor. Yesterday at like four thirty pm. Hell yeah, you know, he had it on DVR, DVR. He made it home early from work whatever, because I saw the freaking stuntman guy. Okay, yes, yeah, dude, this show is gonna take over the world. I don't know. I don't know
about that, but it was a fun show to watch. It is fun. It's on Fox. Almost took a picture. I was gonna take a video of me walking Simon and then bring the camera up and then like zoom in through his blinds to show the floor, just to send to you guys. I'm like, that's the weirdest idea of I don't want to do that to this person. It's not that interesting. I mean, check this out. Fox has lots of unscripted shows. I'm reading this from a from a
website talk. Fox has lots of unscripted shows, but it's hard to consider many of them hits. Now the network has introduced the floor, and this is seen as it did pretty well two point five million viewers the other night, which is for that world is good. Now. It wasn't a good number ten years ago, but that's a good number on a Tuesday night unscripted game show. That's just as over how many podcasts downloads The Downbeats had in
the last six months. I like it working out. So the show is, if you don't know about it, it's got a big floor and each person on this floor and it's kind of digital and it looks real nice led lights. But there's eighty one people on there, and each person has an area of expertise and that is their thing, and they can get challenged and they get challenged on their area of expertise, and then you've got to prove
that you are the guy who loved popular books lost. So we thought, since we have some maps tickets to give away, we did an online giveaway earlier in the weekend, we're going to do it on the air now too, and would just kind of see if people can defend their area of expertise. So let's go to line one, and I believe it's Christian Christians calling it. Hello Christian, how are you. Yes, sir, where are you coming from? Man Hurst, Texas? Oh? Yes, Christian,
Ah, you sound like a man of varied interests. It's ironic because he's a Satanist. Oh my god, all right, Christian, you ever been to a MAVs game? Actually, I've been to one. Was a couple of years ago, back when Kevin Durant was on the Warriors. Okay, we lost that game. I love that when we have the opportunity to give the MAVs ticket to someone who's either never been been to one. I mean, it considers it a very special cool thing. It absolutely is. All
right, Christian, will you have that opportunity right now? We must ask you what square are you standing on? Christian? What is your area of expertise? Wrestling? WW professional wrestling? Okay, interesting, I'll field this one. Okay, we were sitting these off the top of our head. Yeah, okay, how old are you, Christian? If you don't mind me asking, I'm twenty four years old. Oh you might be in trouble
then, because I have a wrestling question for you. All right, Yes, sir, I have a list in front of me in my head, the ten longest world championship title reigns in WWE history. The ten men that have held the title for the longest run, I need you to name four of them, Eddie. Four that are in the top ten of longest championship runs in WWE WWF history. All right, Brunos, San Martino, Bob Backwind, Roman Reigns. In ho, Kobe Christian, you're going to your
second MAVs game whatever. When you said okay, I was gonna make it five or even six. But when he said twenty four, I was like, ugh, because you got to know some old school stuff. Not only did he name four of the ten longest title reigns in history, he named the top four Bruno, San Martino number one, then Hault Cogan, Bob Backland, and Roman Reigns. Yes, that's you want to got anymore? You want to real quick? I know seem punk seam punks number ten.
Gosh, I want to say John Cena is on that list. He's not, although San Martino is on twice and uh, Roman Reigns is on twice as well. So you're really only missing You're only missing two names that you haven't sai yet because haul Cogan's on there twice as well. Alright, you can I guess another name. Yeah, yeah, let's see. I'm gonna say Steve Austin. Nope, he's not. There's one kind of modern current and then one old school. I'll just give him to you, the old
school guy, Pedro Morales. Okay, I haven't heard of him. And the only uh modern issue, dude, you did not name was the eighth longest title streak, and that's brock Lesner brock. Why did I not know? Yeah, you're kicking yourself for brock Lesnar, aren't you. Yeah? Yeah, you just lost your MAVs ticket. No he didn't. Okay, Hey, Christian for real, congratulations dude, thank you for listening. Honestly, there's only you pretty much dominated what I thought was a pretty tough question.
Uh, JJ's gonna pop you on hold. We'll get all your information and get the MAVs tickets to you. Dude, Thank you so much for listening. Hey, awesome. I appreciate you, guys. I love you guys. Thank you all right, dude, thank you? How about that? Dude, that's impressive for a twenty four year old to get. I
mean, Bruno s Ha Martino, Bob Backland. Those are old. These are seventies eighties dudes, that's I wish we was still on that's that's the kid that that or a dude that's that has been watching him since he was a little kid and might have had a daddy. They got it, you know. But that's still going back and doing more research than you've been around for Yeah, for sure. Well, yeah, he knew his area of expertise. He likes a property on the floor and mine, And yes he
now has two pieces of property, which is worth two math tickets. But because but because he claimed that property on the floor. Now his area of expertise is vegetables rights, which was yours. Yeah, of course, let's go to of course, let's go to maybe one day we could do an official the floor. We'll do a little differ different todays, because we're already started. Because I would like for Greg, whose area of expertise is pest control, I would like for it'd be funny if Greg took on Christian in
his area was pest control. But you're on your own here, Greg. Where he came from, Greg, I'm from roy City, Oh yes, roy City. Famously in the DFW City bracket was number sixty four and beat down a couple of years ago for the title. Well in round one sixty four verses one, he upset, Yeah, you get them in. What do you do for a living, Greg, Yeah, I'm a pest control technician. I've been in the business for twelve years. Yep. If the pest control, uh, it was your area of expertise, but you didn't
work a bizarre hobby. Yeah, yeah, well there was bugs on the floor. What's our current most concerning past out there in Roy City and in the North Texas area, the currents isn't seasonal? Yeah, that's rodents in the wintertime like to come inside and get warm. So you go in there and you blast them. What do you mean by rhodence? Just any type of rat mouse nor rat, roof rat, snake, house mouse as a snake common in the winter if they're trying to get warm to get in the
house. You don't see too many snakes in the wintertime. But yeah, they do come inside sometimes, but they're more like a springtime pest. Like what's the pest cut off? Like you go in there roaches or rats like, fine, but what's the cutoff to where you have to like call in the National Guard? You have to call in the next level higher than you
to handle. Well, I did a little bit of wildlife. Once you get to things like possums and raccoons and cats and whatnot, that's that's a wildlife which I've I've touched on that a little bit, but uh, put anything bigger than that, that's that's not me. What about skunks? Skunks? I've caught a skunk once. Yeah, and I don't ever want to
do that again. Did he spray you? No, but it was on my mind the entire time, So yeah, because I hear that if you get sprayed with a skunk, you have to wash, take a bath, and tomato juice. Right. Luckily didn't have to experience that. So well, lucky for you. That is not your trivia question. I'm going to challenge Greg. You are, yes, his area of expertise is pest control. I know a little bit about pests. I've had some go arounds at my and my home of seven years with the ratta and a little bit of
lakuka, and thankfully we have those those issues in hand. But I do have a question for you in your area of expertise, Greg, which is in fact pest control. Now, I think It's fairly common knowledge to people in your field, and maybe even for most people out there, that a cockroach can live up to a week without its head. Did you know this, Mikey, that if you cut the head off of a cockroach, it can continue to live up to a week. Which part lives the head or
the body? The body? My question for Greg is, Greg, why does the cockroach ultimately die without its head. It could live longer without its head, but there's a reason that the cockroach dies after a week. Why is that? It could be a little more specific, It would all excuses would evaporate. You just described going to to be able to hold all that
moisture inside because it has a kiteness exoskeleton that holds the moisture inside. Once you remove part of that ecoskeleton, it's just gonna evaporate and dry out. Okay, I think his answer is right, because you would dry out because without a head, you have no mouth. Therefore you cannot drink water. And the cockroach dies of thirst after a week because it cannot take in water. Now, you didn't say that specifically, all right, but he got
that, but he got there to the panel. Yeah, Kevin, you get it as long as you can name one quick pest control fun fact that might surprise us. Yeah, give us a fun fact about pest control that we might be surprised at. A fun fact. One of my favorite facts is studying termites. Is how they feed each other in the process called truffle axis, and that is basically mouth to But yeah, and you are going to the MAVs game. Hey, and all your adventures in pest control.

The answer that I'm seeing is a guy who's not a Star Wars guy at all. Is fear? Yeah? Fear? Is that? What was she get into that? Anger leads to hate? I mean he's talked about both of them in different movies, though, this has created quite a loophole here. I mean she's sort of right too, and
as hard as I just was two minutes ago. And anger is simply an extension of fear. We get angry at things that we're afraid you. Thank you, thank you. Let's start fresh. You got one more? Yeah?
