You want a pair of tickets to the twenty twenty three us LBM Coast to Coast Challenge at Dicky's Arena, Saturday, December sixteenth. Tickets and more info at Dickie's Arena dot com. That's college basketball, TCU, Texas Tech, and UTA all playing that day. Go call

her five fourteen straight hours of hoops. It's six eevy yours. He keeps a longer day, and I don't think that's what you should expect. I want them to know what's on the line here when you call in. The amount of editing I have to do on these air checks for a client is shout out to our friend Fitz who's in town listening to us live. What's fits doing? He moved to Colorado. I know Commies every day. I forgot about it is going away part. He didn't go to it and he

came back in. You read it. You forgot about it? Yeah, I just forgot it was a banner. It's like going on man at the Cosmos yeah, but he's in town to cover the parade. He said, he's getting to listen to us live. I'm not right here. On ninety seven won the Freak and he said he wanted us to bring it this morning. Bring it. You should have listened yesterday. You should have listened yesterday. Today I got nothing out of gas. We're hoping to get off the

access road so we don't have to get towed. Please, please go, I go one one mile left on that thing. Please I need downhill neutral Well, he said, he's covering the parade. Let's do the most important thing in the world. Yeah, you're giving away some tickets already did he did, But they're just gonna call all you prize pigs out there. Better like basketball. Don't call him prize pigs. That's what Kat said yesterday. I like that thereafter, like Paul a sup quarter of more stations than we'd

ever know. Yeah, everyone thought that he just like one station. Know, he listened to all of them and got stuffed from all of them. When I was in high school, had a friend named Chris Flack, and there was a brand new radio station like started in Sarasota, Florida, and no one knew about it or had heard about it. I know the feeling, and no one was listening, but it was really good. Bizarre. How do you how do you tell them? I kid, just stand on

the street corner and say, hey, try this, it's fun. I don't know how to do it. I've given out so many freak stickers. It's been turned down. But it was his new station. He was the first parton and they would give way a bunch of stuff because they're trying to get people. You know. He won. He won prizes like three times per week for like four months. There rules again that now there weren't.

Then he was winning TVs and he's like, dude, no one knows the station is even on the air, and they keep doing these big giveaways. He won so much stuff, just like calling it out. It's Chris on Siesta, gosh like, and he was hesitant to tell us, you know. And then I think after he re outfitted his entire room, he was like, dude, all I do is get packages delivered the radio station. We used to do a lot of contests and mierly days at the old station.

You know what, the statute of limitations has run out. I rigged a contest one time for a friend of mine, really giant entertainment system, one of the most inspirable in the game, like one of the worst power Oh it was something like that. I mean it was the big flat screen and like a five thousand dollars value. Yeah, yeah, And I just told them when to call in and was very selective on taking the call. And I just let me put it this way. Maybe I didn't one hundred

percent rig it, but it's kind of like insider trading. And they ended up winning. And it's these two roommate dirt bag buddies of mine from Denton, and they ended up getting all this stuff installed at their house. And then they got the tax bill. They had to pay like eight hundred bucks and taxes on this giant ass entertainment system, and they're like, we don't have any money. I think they had to sell the system taxes. That's

amazing and illegal. You're gonna have to leave, all right, please don't. Well, I'm not rigging the contest for these highly coveted hoops tickets, right, Kevin, Right, right, Kevin. Luckily you don't have to worry about that. I'm a different version of myself now. And I would never stoop to such levels. Yeah, we'll prove it next week by handling our giveaways. Okay, happily, let you signed up for the system. Uh so today is the World Series paraide and I don't just say that like

it's nothing. Today in Arlings, I was about to read copy point is the World Series parade. And now here's Kevin very specific directions. The reason that ken The reason was not enthusias. I was about to read some coffee. Do you like copy? You can go to Java, Johnes dut copy, stop by o host Locos and try the best food made from scratch, including their Mexican City tacos in Chipotle. Qeso Loco is that Mexico City tacos.

Probably it says Mexican City tacos, Mexican City tacos. So uh we Hispanic and by we I mean the iHeart cars are gonna be at the o host Locos Sports Canteen off Copeland Road. Now I am gonna be somewhere else, but I will be at the Prey and I think I will be the station correspondent. Really, or maybe I'm one of many station correspondents. Benskin Show and the Speakeasier at Pluckers in Dallas for the Freaking the Weekend series.

It's close. So yeah, they're right on the outskirts of the parade BYuT twenty five miles and then you know, all you gotta do is go see them and then hit thirty. But I will be doing live call ins, you know, beginning around twelve fifteen or whatever whatever I'm needed for. Really, I'm going to tune in for that. I'm in a good part of the predell I actually, what does that mean. I'm just looking where I'm gonna be. I'm right by the parade viewing area with video screens. That

is good. I'm in a good, good spot. How did you that? I got an email that said, want to park here from our good friends, the Dallas Jackals. Love the Dallas Jackals rugby. That's cool. So that's all happening. And I'm sure this would be broadcasting on Bally, which half the Metroplex said, huh huh. And then but I think some of the others you'll see some simulcast in situations. Is your spot near the

end? Yeah, okay, that's what we need. Yeah, he drunk when he drunk people, Oh my God, I I've already got a bunch of interviews lined up. No you don't. Yeah, with who Pudge Smokey the Bear, keep going, Rangers fan down. They're all lined up and timed like you know, twelve fifteen, twelve thirty. Yeah, Pudge Smoky the Bear is gonna be there looking like a zaddy that he is. You

should be out there drinking. You're gonna not even charge your phone. You keep your phone plugged in this morning, I could charge it on the way to Arlington, when I'm assuming I'll be sitting in nut to butt traffic. I saw Arlington iced Grand Prairie. I s D said, no school day, Dallas. He said, we'll be keeping schools open. Damn it. Give the kids a break. Now, you know what make the kids go to school? No? Do we have transportation to get to Arlington. Yeah,

it's called car. Okay, so kids in school are going to take car the sponsor of sports car. What needs to happen is even if your kids are mandated to go to school or school's not let out, good parents will take them out of school and take them to the parade. Right, make your memories is one of the keys to being a good parent. Kevin, the Arlington mayor sent out the letter you know he did with the big blank Mayor Jim Ross, the standard bit of the mayor his authorized everyone to

get off work in school. He put a joke in there at the end. What was it? Just signed this official form the bold so you know, Okay, this is way too dark. So I'm gonna get it out of the way. In the first hour of the show. I was thinking about this yesterday and maybe it's because of I don't know odds. What are the odds on there being a shooting of some sort. Oh, my god, one that wipes out a bunch of people, just gunshots in the air. Jesus, Kevin, I'm not gonna lily one that they tossed my mind.

I'm the only one. We don't talk about those things till they happen. We talk about them for twelve hours, then we don't talk about them again. They certainly don't talk about them before they have up, and you freak, it crossed my mind. What do you think our attendance is going to be? I have not even know where to start, but let's all come up with a number. I'm ready, Okay, seven million people in the Metroplex because you know they're going to estimate how many people are there and

then they're probably gonna Vince mcmonnett and triple that number. Well, forty people can fit like ticket stock, exactly like ticket Stock were every year. We said fire Marshall was just about to shut them doors. The pictures look, yeah, you can see tep it less boots every year the day. But

the appearance game is no world to get into. The day that we started the station, we had that big party, uh freak launch party at Echo Lounge and they were like introducing all of us and uh like one by one we walk out there in the crowd, would you know, cheer a little of it. And the entry is Kevin and he walked out and he stood right next to me, and the crowd clapped, and I just leaned over to Kevin. I go tepid huh, like, I know you think I

have his fell Mark Coupan back there. Yeah, there was here. I mean, what do you think one hundred and fifty thousand more more more not a million, No, not a million. We're saying they expected about a million people, a lot of people, millions in the mid five hundred thousand people, I guarantee you are you guaranteeing? May guarantee one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand. Okay, to go stand in a park and there are

forty thousand people make up the space of Globally Fields. Okay, forty thousand people can attend that, and the parade's going around all of that. Yeah, there will be well ten of those is four hundred thousand. There will be more than ten full Global Life fields. Dude, we're people. That'd be great. I mean, they deserve it. I hope that people do. I hope it's a beautiful chaos out there. Well, see who's closest without going over, who's gonna count? What's the official count? They're gonna

know they there will be assuring number number one. I'm going to count and two they're gonna know. That's why I'm going out there. And he's got his little umpire number counter on his belt. You should count everyone you see, and that won't be the official number, but just count how whoever you see? How people? You see a kid screw skin over and be like, take my phone die because he's counting on me to call in. He's counting. It's kind of kind of save the day. You know what,

you're a big this is it's this extra that I'm doing today. That's the type of stuff that propels you to it. Dallas Observer Radio host of the Year Awards. You guys, are you are really making a run at twenty twenty four, aren't you? I am No, I'm going no, I'm not. You would think that by now that like some type of aerial shot from a drone or satellite or whatever would be able to zoom in with enough resolution that there would be a program that could count the number of people.

They can I guarantee you that exists a curial someone can and just count yeah, yeah. Or there's some spines, get a beating hearts approximation. It's all bad data. A lot of this world, whatever it is, there will be aye by dinner time. There will be a number that we lock in and assume is correct for it. I'm going five hundred k, Danny. That's they're gonna report upwards of a million people, right, I know

they are. They're gonna wrestle any of this thing, and I think they'll probably be about which means live two hundred and fifty thousand three hundred thousand. Okay, I think maybe I'll vote the same as Danny. Yeah, let doesn't do anything for the game. There's no game. Not everything has to

have a resultant points. Yes, not everything has to end with somebody having a foot is an iPhone case, Kevin, it's gonna be me probably sympathy Shall May is your next host to Saturday Night Live on the eleventh, because I would say, two hundred and fifty is my guest? What's the reported number that's all worth a million? No, they're gonna say a million. I freaking guarantee you, Mikey. No, they're not. They are not stupid. They won't be able to justify a million. I bet they I

bet. I bet the official number that we go with forever after this day is four hundred thousand. You think yep. I can already see the lower third on the local news. Half a million, half a million sounds better. They're gonna say they're gonna bump about two. It's two hundred thousand into four hundred thousand, and then be like camp take fire. That's why I think it's more, because it's in the middle still. By doing the right

thing and keeping it in Arlington, that was absolutely the right thing. By the way, making a big city move to Dallas or down in the Stockyards would have wiped out. Now it's right in the middle, people in Dallas, in Fort Worth. It won't be too far. I'll make the trick. This is it's gonna be huge. This gonna be huge. Yeah. If you wanted a downtown parade like you would get in New York or Boston, or that looks really cool on TV and people hanging out of buildings,

yeah, yeah, that would have been great. I guess what, get the ballpark in your downtown. Rangers must have been around longer than the Mavericks too. I'm not having a debate over who's more popular. I'm not doing that. But the longevity here does help the Rangers case for having a big ascraft today people of all ages. Now, my questions are very simple. Or were you allowed to drink? Yeah? Right? Oh yeah, there's nothing they can do right party on the streets, right, yeah. I

think cops are fairly lenient with that. We'll see they are, well, you shall see. I don't know, man, I was thinking about don't you had to get a flask grantual walk around the Tall Boy Were you allowed to just walk around on the streets of Dallas with a red cup full of booze? No? I mean I do it every time I walk from Cash's house to the ac just like last night. We all had roadies and you walk past all these cops who are letting you, you know, stop in

traffic. No one's ever said a word. They could if they wanted to. Yeah, I think so it's not legal to walk around with a cup of booze. I'm pretty sure that in certain sections of New Orleans it's not legal, but it's never enforced at all unless you do something to draw attention to you. Exactly. I think that's exactly what it is. And yes, you can drink. Well, I'm not reporting that you can bring coolers and post up and get hammered, but that's what you should do. There's

no story. Can't you drink when they tailgate like opening? Yeah, and that's on private property though, Yeah, that's on private property. I won't see how this is any different, you know. Yeah, so the maths and stars would do downtown Dallas. It would be so weird if this was being held in Dallas. That would be effing weird. Before it was announced I considered it. I'm like, oh, maybe they will. That would be so dumb. It's you have to do it where they're doing it now.

It's such a it's such a middle finger to the eight one seven, which by far supports the Rangers more than the two one four. If they did it in Dallas. If they didn't, that would such a terrible idea. Now, just traversing a square around three parking lots seems a little Arlington. What it is? It's Arlington. Dallas does prevent you. This is according to the tab Sea website, Dallas does prevent you from a public conception of alcohol. But I do not see Arlington or fort Worth on the on

that list. There you go, you got that on the tcby website. Yes, you know, I see if they can send us up a delicious frozen frozen yogurt this morning, froo maybe healthy, get little granola in. There were still more parade stuff later because we go throughout the day. Absolutely, because we didn't even get to anything. The downbeat. Yeah you know, good birthdays or no? Or am I jamming you up? You want to save your birthday? Jamming me at all? You got good birthdays?

Eight minutes here, let me do birthdays for two minutes. It's not a huge day, Okay, hit me. You know I love celebrity birthdays, one of your favorites, and will actually just lien the Mike Siroy Spank Bank Hall of Fame, Oh, Lily Tomlin. Roseanne bar is seventy one today. I appreciate you implying that I jacked to Rosemann bar But she's kind of funny back in the day. It's a good show before the latest allegation. Yeah, before whatever I'm supposed to be mad at her for. I don't

know now. Now she's very bad. She's some racist stuff. Oh then yeah, Dolph Lunder in sixty six full penetration. Oh what what are you doing? How do you plan on remaining upright today? It's just a question. It's hard for me because I'm so funny. I have never I've never in my life been more fired up by a movie trailer than whatever year it was. And the Rocky three came out and they did that, and then they had the American flag glove and the Russian glove slowly coming at each other,

and then bouche they exploded. I haven't it's fun ever been more fired up by a trailer that's back in the day when you see a trailer JJ on the screen and that's the first you ever even heard of this movie. Here is the most excited I've ever been for a movie. This trailer JJ creak me up a lead character in there that Dolf can bang throughout the whole movie. Yeah, I kind of hate women though. Oh I feel like they just slow action movies down to right. No, Maxy, you're dead

wrong on that. You're dead wrong. See what if we were to bring an incredibly hot but skeptical female lab partner into the mix, and then that way, whenever Doll's not out busting heads because he smelled crime, he's back at the lab performing outrageous sexual experiments on her supple young body. Now here's the twist, and there is a twist. We show it. We show all of them because what's the one major thing missing from all action movies these

days, guys. Full penetration. Guys, we're gonna show full penetration, and we're gonna show a lot of them. I mean we're talking, you know, graphic scenes of Dolph Lung would really go in a town on this hot young labteck from Bout sixty cow Girl, Reverse Cowgirl, all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones, and then he smells crime again. He's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration, smells crime, back to the lab, full penetration,

crime penetration, crime, full penetration, crime penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for ninety or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends. That is brilliant. That is the most brilliant movie I've ever heard in mine. I think audiences are going to be very uncomfortable seeing Doph Lundon's naked penis. I'm sorry. Every year it's really good off London will be celebrated but excited. That is brilliant. Off to the side,

the movie just sort of ends, like every movie pretty much. Cetration Adam at sixty nine, Danny Kendall Jenner's twenty eight JJ The Boo of Bad Booty. No, she's young, she's young and hip. She dressed and a hip like you. She dressed up like Marilyn Monroe for Halloween. Actually good, Yes, of course she did, Yes she did. Uh.
