Hey, now, lovers, get holding now. It's Valentine's Day and the Downbeat is here to guide you through the ups and downs of this. Wednesday, February fourteenth, we have the Downbeat singing boxes of chocolate in stores today. We'll preview them for you at eight o'clock. Make your lover's day by picking one up. Also, the Mojo Dojo cosa House at nine ladies hit us with really anything you got? I mean, look, V Day is the day full of lofty expectations. What are you expecting? What do you
need? What do you want? What do you desire? Nothing? Not mis sports stuff about that? I feel like once a year we talk about a Jerry Jones lawsuit, but the details on this one are kind of wild. We'll get into that for you. At seven oh seven we had kyote attacks. We had what hot airl coyote coyote attacks? Seven thirty. Will you say coyote or coyote coyote? Yeah? Same here? Yeah, that's how we say it when you're from Texas. My how ko okays kyote? Okay? How do you say kyo? Say it? You? Why?
Because I don't I don't know what it's a word. I say coyote. Okay, there we go. See he says it like, won't you go back to New York? Boy? Like a dictionary might say it. How I say it, Take your pace pecaning sauce and head north, go back to New York. Down here, we say, boy, saddle up, little partner. We've had enough of your kind down here for too long, little sailor. There's not enough Kyody bits. You know. You just have
Wiley Cody, a Phoenix hockey team. That's it. That's a That's what they muld be more modern in society, considering how rampant they're becoming in our metroplex and in our world. What's your closest encounter you've ever had with a coyote? I don't think I've ever had one. You never had a wow, Arizona man, never had a coyote? Account again? No, I probably? Okay I did. I worked at a golf course when I was really young, Bantana Canyon in Tucson, Arizona. There. Uh, it's
the home of the I call it a million dollar hole. There's like one par three that cut out of the side of a mountain. A beautiful that's badass. Yeah, look up Antenna Canyon par three on your images. That's great. I'm getting there all the times stories take a second golf ruined a mountain. No, and there was a girl. Uh. We were romance fing a little bit on the course. Yes, on the part of the green fee. Somebody's got to clean that mess up. And it was just
starting. We're like, and we had keys to the cart barn and she was the drink girl. So we're like, let's meet at the course and go out, you know, get a cart, go out at night and just a bunch of drinks. We kind of just drove the course in the middle of the night and uh, at a flashlight and we were out. We went like one hole out what flash? Oh? Check, No, she was there. She showed up. Sometimes it's fun to incorporate at the
Millionaire right there. It's the signature hole on whole three. Yeah, whole three on the canyon course. Put the signature hole in the front nine. You don't see that often. It's a layout in the foothills of Tucson Air, Arizona. You gotta dance within the terrain. Kevin. Anyway, we're out like what we got as far out of no lights anywhere and I turned the flashlight on like looking kind of forward, and maybe fifty feet away.
All we saw was eyeballs reflecting in the flashlight. Oh like, I don't even know, you know, now that I look back, I think if it was ten, it may have been fifty. It may have been two, but I think it was. It was up multiple just eyeballs, which I guess were probably coyotes. You sure it wasn't the Salesmanship Club? Yeah? And the course at night? Does a human good? Very good? Internal Byron Nelson Shoke geez, get to see a flash of red pants and
growing eyes? Normally I let it sit, and I thought we needed to let everyone in on that one. What look, you both very well known. I don't think you take me seriously on this that I am a somewhat halfway in, halfway out of the closet golf fan. I know more than you think. I know he's pomped for the Genesis this week, the return of Latif shoot a flashlight and a human in the distance, do our eyes
reflect? They don't you answer that you just made that up? You don't literally, you're just imagining it. And then I don't see that happening. Think about it. You know what, don't even look at what are you gonna look up? The human eyes reflect like coyote eyes, and I guarantee you there'll be an answer. So I suppose that would be my closest forutmost frightening encounter with a coyote. Okay, she was a Japanese descent. The girl I was with, Okay, Pacific. That's not have much in common
with cat's eyes. Humans do not have this tape them loose loose seatum layer. If you shine a flashlight in a person's eyes at night, you don't see any sort of reflection KT validated. The flash on a camera is bright enough, however, to cause a reflection off the retina itself. That's why the phrase is deer in the headlights instead of person in the headlights. I don't think that's true. It would have been human in the headlights. Oh, never would have been. Hey, deer's freeze. Humans get the hell
out of the way. Deer's freeze, but they get there. That's not the only ones who are on the road and the cars coming at them. They're not the only animal that freezes. Wild boars freeze, squirrels sometimes freeze pigeons somehow more elusive than their figure would show. But they get out of the way, but they sometimes freeze. Pigeons are amazing, flimsy, all
of it. Most are three sentences in a row. And this I learned from the Netflix limited series The Tourist that when driving in the outback of Australia, they prefer you not drive at night because kangaroos will run into the the headlight display of your car. Really, yeah, like the light that you shine on the road. Kangaroos will just run into it, yeah, without
out any regard to the Yeah, they're just just kind of whatever. Instinctively, they are prone to run into that light without any regard for the automobile that's about to smush them. And they're huge and will destroy your car the daytime. I don't know. I just think they love any type of controversy.
I think kangaroos are looking for trouble at all times. You saw the viral video of the kangaroo that tried to drown that dude's dog and the guy went up there and punched him in The kangaroo looked at him like, are you sure you want to do that? Mother effort like I'm down to go, dude. The way they push their shoulders forward and flex their chests, well, we're all picturing that one buff kangaroo. Yeah he's got a name
too, and got him. Yeah, but dude, they do say humans are scary and then well Mike Tyson is reading no, no, no, no, this that's what they do. Man, that's that's them getting into their don't mess with me position, right, But they're not all shredded like like Roger Roger the riffed Roger the Riff been in the gym doing the Arnold
workout plan. Seriously, that guy was bench pressing. God, that was a I do think kangaroos like action, Yeah, they do, and they like the f's with people, and you see them fight, they'll I mean they'll stand on their tail like they punch, but they also will stand their body upon their rigid tail and kick you as well and kind of wild. We just don't have any here outside of in the zoos kangaroos. Yeah,
I guess we don't have any. I would have seen that we have a coyote, probably New Zealand, but just I just do we have a kyote in Australia somewhere. But you do have a coyote story, don't you. Kyote story in the news today, And actually a search is on only found in Australia and Papua New Guinea crazy kangaroos and wallabies macropods. That's a smaller
group of marsupials Australia, Papa New Guinea. And maybe it's just climate, you know, yeah, like you shouldn't have the monitor lizard in the cold Texas winter, right, you know, maybe it's that type of thing, but it's just still still and you would think they would be one of the more heavily traded animals. What the kanga, Yeah, because they are kind of cool. How plentiful are they down there? Are they like I don't know, cattle here? I think a lot kangaroo population estimate it's yeah,
totals, Oh oh yeah, there's two different kinds. I think two primary kinds. The red kangaroo. There's I mean this is as a one whatever eleven and a half million total in kangaroo of the red and another four and a half million wallaroos, which is probably the smaller, slightly smaller version that that restaurant in Oak Cliff. Yeah, that sells kangaroo hamburg kangar hamburgers. They must have a pretty expensive uh. I mean, how do you get
the food to the restaurant if it's kangaroos coming from Australia. I'm sure it's frozen meat. It's frozen. And then yeah, I saw a thing. Let's see. I don't go down to well, I'll just do whatever. I saw this article in the Dallas Morning News. I think it was a Sarah Blaskovich product, so you know it's good. And it was a picture of some vegan barbecue that's that's not and it should. You look at it and you're like, it does not look like barbecue, and it's not because
it's vegan barbecue. But her review was that it was delicious. Yeah, So I mean, look, I don't even know if you're eating vegan like it's supposed to be healthier, I guess, but I guess if you slather and depend barbecue sauce, it didn't really matter. So I did the vegan thing for two years pretty strictly, like I eliminated dairy meat, all that stuff. And why do you do that just a whim? No, No, I've done it before. I've done similar things, just you know,
trying things on a whim just to see if it works. And I will tell you discipline based challenges. Yeah, I like that. But I did find that I felt better physically and mentally then I did probably ever in my life as far as like what I was eating. But there are there are some pitfalls when it comes to that because there's a lot of trash vegan food
out there. To do what they do to eliminate all animal products from it, I mean, they have to add a lot of stuff, and it's typically sodium, so you're getting a lot of this process stuff that you know has got a lot of salt in it. But there's a vegan taco spot that's in Pleasant Grove and I can't remember the name of it, but I used to hit that all the time when I was going through this little trial
and it's really good. And yeah, of course you can tell the difference, but it's not like you eat it and you're like going, oh my god, you're trying to like force yourself to like it. It's gene genuinely delicious. It's just slightly different. But they use a lot of soy based proteins. Okay, so this thing that she was talking about was made of satan. Yeah, and if you look at it, you're clearly going with satan. But satan. If you look at the picture I'll show you at
there, you know it doesn't look great. It challe looks like meat love Yep. But her review was that it was wonderful and it's from a place in Fort Worth called the VBQ. Yeah. To kind of match the texture VBQ with Chef Hank Stormy, to match the texture of meat, they have to do a lot of stuff like those impossible burgers and beyond burgers, they're fine, but man, the you're damn near just as healthy to eat just
a real hamburger at that point. At that point, it's about the principle of not contributing to the slaughter of animals more than it is for your health as anyways, right, true. Yeah, but processed food is always going to be processed food. And if you're going to be a vegan and you want to do it the right way, you probably need to eat mostly fresh stuff. But there's a little you know, we all cut corners in life.
Isla and Co. Is the name of the restaurant. If you want to try kangaroo meat in the Bishop Arts district and it comes in skewers. It's where the original Lucia location was. It's right there, but Lucia moved to a more pre primo location. It's grilled skeward pieces of top herb tahini sauce with red pickled onions and crisp cucumber. It's a gentrile introduction to the meat that is often served in burger or steak form in Australia. But that's
the one I can find. But you you didn't try it though, right, No, I didn't try it. I'll go try it. It sounds like it's prepared with a little Mediterranean flair. Yeah, yummy, Sure, it's great. Maybe today also kangaroo. No kangaroo's ever officially been domesticated. Do they grow? Not officially. They say they have never been domesticated because their behavior driven mostly by instinct. Okay, so I had on a lady that I think you guys are still in the afternoon. I think my dog
is part kangaroo. Then Jeff thinks his dog is too. Jeffa speakeasy, No, not stomp face ceed the other one. There's native er CEDI lamb who will make the fork point. But so I had her on. This lady had lost her kangaroo. She owned a kangaroo had henry yard and she lost it. Now it was found. This was in a small town around here. But she called in and she explained that she'd always love kangaroo,
so she got one. Has a couple of dogs too, But and basically she the way she talked about it, she talked about it like a dog, but it was a full grown kangaroo. It wasn't a little one. And she explained that there are places here where you can get a kangaroo. And Jeff was about to go do it. Jeff was about to go buy a kangaroo. I don't know if it just like he got off the air and chilled out for a couple hours and realized, you know, I don't
need this right now. We're sobered up. But getting the kangaroo, like apparently you there is special food that they make for it, but you can feed it dog food and it's fine. So it was interesting. This was months ago though, something remember all the details. So I'm looking where this restaurant gets their kangaroo meat, and it's from a place called fossil farms. That's around here, now, isn't it Booton, New Jersey? Huh?
But Booton, New Jersey is apparently the best supplier of kangaroo meat in the United States. Okay, so then they're just raising kangaroo for kangaroo meat production. Yeah right, And I think they do other more exotic meats. Oh oh oh, here we go and you can buy it on their website. Game meets they have the mildly exotic like antelope, bison, elk miama ostrich rabbit, while bor venison, exotics, alligator, camel, kangaroo yack yack, yack. Oh wow. I don't think about yacks very much. But
kangaroo medallions Danny two six ouncers for twelve bucks. What a bargain or ground kangaroo for sixteen bucks? I mean this is not add to cart baby kangaroo burgers. Hell yeah, I'll just have a regular burger for now, But everyone else go out and try him. Let us know, eat up metroplex. That's sounds been the food court to spend the mini version of the food
court. How do we get there? You never know. COVID's six thirty most important thing in the World if y'all want to do the coyote attack there, we can't. Well, I don't care, Kevin, whatever you want to, don screw it. Someone hurt. No that I'm changing my plan. The most important thing in the world. Executive decision happening from a guy who's not an executive. You guys think we got a chance to meet Scarlett Johanson A chance? I mean there's always a chance. I think we got
a real good chance. What does that mean? I'll tell you at six thirty, he gets me, he got me. Just then you're like Jesus, you get me coming up at eight we have the down beat singing you wash my feet, Kevin Chocolate, I will yeah, go and whip off those bad boys. I mean, I hate feet. To please leave your socking, but I love socks. That should be the bet payoff, bet payoff, or one of us has to dresses Jesus and wash the other two
feet. Yes, yes, with a little basin, because let's be honest, the person getting their feet washed isn't particularly going to be enjoying that process either. I don't know that sounds lovely. I'm gonna be showing up that day. He dressed up as the Devil dressed like Jesus? What did he wear? If I win that bet, if you have to wash my feet, I damn, I'm thinking about clipping my toenails, but maybe not. Now ain't gonna come up. That sounds awesome, but terrible. It sounds
terrible. I wash feet. I no problem with that, because you get us, I get you. You have to wash our feet at Lee Harvey's like in the commercial. Okay, that's weird. That's a weird part of it. What's Jesus doing at Lee Harvey's. I just don't know. And they will never there a support. We're all just going just gonna make it the motion with their hands. Yeah, a little rope around your neck. So if you don't know what the Downbeat Singing Box of Chocolate is, it's
coming up at eight. We've had a few items out in the past, like the Downbeat Singing Pumpkins. Speaking of meat, here's an example of something from the Downbeat Singing Pumpkins back in October. I can see you creeping up the driveway in your little costume, hoping for some candy. You will be surprised when you say trick ortry eat when you receive a pound of rancid meat, meat meat. I forgot to go down to Wallgreens to purchase a me
candy for all of the children. I began to pannick whin I heard the door bell chime. So ground beef for you, weeks beyond its prime. No candy, no candy, just ground beef. No candy, no candy, just ground beef. I mean, Jesus stupid. That is so sad. I don't either, No candy way beyond its prime? How does that sell? We eat the price point? You know, we were sitting itself for two forty nine. You know, they get there late because of the
supply chain issues. And I don't think I think our by eight get one free deal. I think we just overshot. We overshot yep projections from our analysts, you know. But you know we did a little bit better at the downbeat singing Christmas tree toppers. Yeah, ourselves there because we went too strictly to like smaller stores. I think people just want to hear the songs. They don't want to hear your flimsy set up. Yeah. I think you're right. Things can just happen in this world. Huh. How about
this one from Christmas, My darling, give me some heads up. If santum Claus is here. Oh, mom, she's definitely cheating. She peaked at presence. Santa is here, Santa is hung up in the chimney because his big bag of fun little brother in the bathroom cranking out a homemade card because Santa is here. Daddy's at rest, stop getting drilled for information to help weary traveler trying to get back home for Christmas, and Amazanta is here. Wow, who wouldn't buy that? Right? I can only describe your
your singing style as assertive. Watch you watch me just die to try to get it to sound anywhere close to the music. It's amazing and I get lost in every song. It's like the guy that sings karaoke that has minimal skills but all of the conviction, max confidence, max confidence, and he's just poised and set and aggressive and just ready to hit that creed song.
Yeah, at least the audience unsure if it was good or bad. The people at the beginning, they're they're kind of like they're quiet, and then about I don't know, fourth of the way through the song, they're looking at each other and they're kind of like getting on board with him. And by the end everybody's just like like it's a rave Yes, yes, because he got us. He gets us. This is another one. This is from the Pumpkin. You just sit outside your front porch watch your costume.
I guess I don't get the reference. Bitch. Yeah, that's the one that broke. JJ. Hell JJ three seconds long. It's pretty good. JJ laughing that. Oh my god. So we have a similar we have a similar product and it represents Valentine's Day, and we're gonna play the songs from this product at eight o'clock. That's the thing is like fledgling business owners, small business owners, you improve like the first thing you release, So
it's unlikely that that's gonna be just a perfect success. But we did Christmas and now it's Valentine's and I think we're our business is streamlined. Yeah, our business model may have been perfected, and I think we're gonna really wow some people at eight o'clock live, Today's Today. Call your local flower shops.
That's where we really aimed at that. In fact, if you go in to pick up your flowers today or whatever you're grabbing, if you're going to record asking them if they have the downbeat singing box of chocolate and then email me at Kevin Turner at iHeartMedia dot com. That would be cool if you ask them that just because it wasn't discussed. Is it a box that when you open the top of the box of chocolate, that's when the song
starts, right, Kevin? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. You open it and then you're like, well, here's there'll be like a the boxes, you know, the chocolate's all spread out, and then there's like when you pick it up, it'll have a little thing attached to it that you just you boop the chocolate. Oh you you're thinking you boop the chocolate outside. There's a little button outside the wrapper of the chocolate. This sounds expensive. Individual piece of chocolate. There's a device that makes me okay,
it's not just the hinge of the box. Yeah, so each individual candy has a speaker inside. Who came up with the technology for this? Singapore? Great? I'm told you'll go through Singapore? And what was the cost per unit for these? Look, we don't have to talk about specific financial details. Some of the things are private. Yeah, don't ask you how much you make cup of coffee actually costs not for you. Just do you
like it or not? You know what, I'm playing this and this is another one from Christmas, and we can give you a little bit of this one as a brand new dance. And it's taking over the world. Oh they weren't so good. Yeah, it's called the Funky Santa. So let's all give it a world. It happens late at night when the kids are in bed. Santa arrives in, is pimped out, slid. Dad is passed out, but Mommy is awake. That's when Santa reveals his snake.
Santa and Mommy smoke a big fat bowl and Mommy hops up on his big northfold. Mommy and the fat man doing the phone. I love that one. That was the one that got closest to actually being a like a hit a radio. It took off. Yeah, this one traction, this one not so much. It's my else like cat pass in My Tree. Yeah, it's a good song. Why do cats want to pee in the Christmas tree? They do that all the time, though, absolutely due. All right, we'll have that coming for you at eight o'clock. Coming up.
Rexit guys, scral Johansson. I think is gonna be coming to town because she's gonna start in a movie and the story's effing wild. Okay, I'm gonna tell you about that next on ninety seven one the Free
