Transcript

I guess it's that time where we start the show. Do you guys know that time? Good morning, Metroplex. Let's have a little fun today. We will because we do always. Yesterday we gave aways sixty dollars to our listeners. Who knows what we'll do today. Maybe we've got a couple pairs of Australian Pink Floyd tickets. You're joining at nine for the Big Game. I think Good Morning News eight o'clock is the big money circle point. You're gonna have one area to go, the hot zone. Get our hands on

some exclusive leaked Super Bowl ads. They're gonna air Sunday night. You can hear them before they air on Sunday night. How about that? And got seven thirty got an interesting local story about a local food spot that's just been getting screwed so much. Sports at seven Is Phil Mickelson a liar? It's MAVs trade deadline? Man. I want to test Mike and Danny on something. And I also think Netflix has been listening to our show. I don't know. Good luck. If you want to test us, yay, because

we're going to pass. I do want to test you. What do you think makes it Australian Pink Floyd. I've been wondering all week and I know it's something that I should have looked into. Are they just the greatest Pink Floyd, which is probably awesome, And I know they're legit. You can just google them and there they come up a lot, so maybe they're just

the closest thing. But I think they're just the premiere Pink Floyd tribute and they happen to reign from Australia. Yeah, yeah, the world's number one Pink Floyd show. I don't doubt it. I bet they're great, but

I don't know. I looked at I remember, I think it was around the Dark Side of the Moon anniversary last year, the fifty year for that, and I was, I don't know, went into Pink Floyd dive deep dive mode and search and stuff, trying to find stuff from that era, and I saw a couple of clips of them come up and they're really good man, Yeah, yeah, they sound like Pink Floyd. Asfloyds dot com for more info and here's where it reads. This act are so good.

They were even engaged by David Gilmour to perform at his fiftieth birthday celebration. Really yeah, wow, that's definitely something very strange. He said his fiftieth birthday. Uh huh. So they've been doing this for like twenty five years because Gilmore's got to be in his seventies now right. They're playing huge places

too, I mean they're all over the place. That's the thing is, not only do they sound like them, they incorporate all of the visual effects that you, you know, would expect from Pink Floyd's Toyota Music Factory August twenty third. If you take an edible and go see Australian Pink Floyd, a chance for you to win tickets at nine o'clock today. Just got to call in two and four eight one, seven, seven eight. I was gonna just make the joke that, oh, there's you know, Koala's up

there. They're eating vegemite or some generic ass Australian you know, some six AM level jokes, light level K level comedy. Hey man, But I looked up a list of famous Australian dishes that you need to try. Uh huh, do you have any like what comes to mind when I think Australian food, go, I think lumin onion. I think that steak is probably a big one down there. Kangaroo is second they have here. Now we've talked about it here we have and I didn't order it. There's a place

in Bishop Arts, a little Australian restaurant. We hear that it's gamy. They have a delicious burger. Christina didn't have the courage that day to go at the kangaroo. But I thought about it a lot. I mean, we may need to move away from from a lot from the red meat. Is it considered red meat? Some? Well, it's funny. I'm sorry, I'm the superlative police today, you know what. Just some I think about this all the time all the time, Like finances, our job.

I think about those things a lot. But the kangaroo that's about a quarter a mile from my house, at this one restaurant, I do think about some once a week. He does not think about kangaroo burger once a week, close to once a week. It's a fleeting thing, just like it enters your mind and it just floats away. I don't linger on it.

You don't say, ponder look at the ceiling of my house, only because just rubbing your goate it's probably good it's probably good, I wonder because just yeah, sometimes I will do because I live right by Bushpart so I will do the little drive down Bishop and just take a look and see what's changing. I did yes today and just yesterday I glanced down toward that restaurant and I actively thought about the kangaroo. The kangaroo there. I think it's kangaroo

bites too. It's not even a burger. I wonder if the kangaroo is locally sourced Mike's roy Yeah, then I I d myself an inspector. I don't know, are you showing your id? But number one on the list of Australian foods you must try most iconic snacks is tim Tams. What's Tim

Tams? That's a great question. A social media platform that's not like an Aussie only social media deals the football team Times product of Australian Biscuit Company, are not the classic Tim Tams. A double layered chocolate malted biscuit, fried with chocolate cream and coated. And you have more chocolate so kit cat, oh, KitKat tim Tam oh Oh. There's also if you know what you're doing, you can you can eat the Tim Tam slam. Oh, give it to me. I'm not giving this whole thing to you. I don't

know. But do they have cucko barrel wings on there? No, they don't cook the bear wings. They don't have the Aussie chocolate thunder from down Under or the Alice Springs chicken Kevin. Well, they're behind then, because if you market your place right is three? Really? Oh? I don't want to like that. They don't have slow roasted platypus. No, the eu is the most angry looking of the birds, perpetually pissed, just like God. Yeah, why did I have to be built like this? Ants

look angry too? Malcolm asked me the other day, goes, why are ants so mad? It seems like almost all of his questions are so brilliant. You can't We went? He went, We went? We go to White Rock all the times. It's down the street from the house, and I'm sitting on the edge of the lake throwing sticks in the water, which is probably his number one favorite pastime, throwing sticks in water, And he got bit by a couple of those little ants. He goes, why are

aunts so mad? I don't know. How would you feel right? How would you feel if somebody sat on your house, house, did you explain to him on purpose? Little man complex? Yeah, there's that. Ants, do you have a little man complex? Hard? They're so strong though, the things that they can lift in relation to their bodies, and they're just being told what to do by their bitch mom. Kevin, call you

the queen. We have to call you the ash a little bit bigger than us, and everything everything we get, we go out there buster ass all day. We just have to run it back and show it to you. And this is just like a antenna. She's more just like a figurehead. And doesn't Aunt Parliament really make all of the decisions right, not like Nolan. And some of the ants are like do we even need a queen anymore?

How much funding? How much funding goes to this queen. There's like aunt underlings begging for her abdication, yes, which their jealousy derives from her jealousy of the queen bee, which has the power of flight in the Queen. Ants like tans levitation homes. I never got to do that. I can't do anything. You ever wonder though, just slightly larger, like do you ever wonder? It's like we were made to be something right, whatever it is we were created. What if we were just like a crappy animal

and that was our one shot. That's all we are is crappy animals. No, I know, but like we got a lot more going for than crickets do. Like, yeah, but they don't know any better. Like, if you're a cricket, how do you know you make it? You know through an average lifespan and you're doing cricket stuff, you're probably pretty content with life, right, I don't know. I've never been in that position. They think those things got those people are huge. Be you're ready to

be one of those? What an advantage they have. I don't think they see us all that much humans too, in the cricket world, they're probably just don't you don't just pare it down to crickets. It's a larger conversation, clearly. Well, animals don't interact with humans, I think all that often because we're just some mythic thing that we're just some of them talk about

and they may have seen one time. If you're a cricket, you're to them, we're just these large ghostly figures that walk in and out of a best Buy. That's kind of where they're all hanging out. Yeah, clothing times they'd take it over. They just congregate. I don't know why. It's a way or circuit city. There's a chance that something in their heads thinks that we're just gods. Yeah, like mythic Greek gods hows you know, And that guy must be the god of Texas Rangers. I'm outside of

Dick's Sporting Goods, the Texas Rangers. Look at all the stuff he's got on. I had to bring this up to to day because we had your buddy Brad Folsom, Thank you, Professor Brad Folsom, who has written three books. But he wrote a new book that dropped this week, and it's about animal fights, interspecies animal fighting back in the late eighteen hundreds, early

nineteen hundreds on the Texas border. Insane to think about, but stuff that really happened, and he'd gone and done the research and wrote the book is wild. But he was talking about and on the cover of the book is a buffalo versus a bull And we sh didn't have time the way things were going. I just didn't want to interject some personal thing real quick. But so there's a guy that I loosely know. And this is just making me think about how what animals think of us. Does a guy that loosely know

who lives up in the Dakota's one of them? And he maybe it's Montana now he it's strange. I know it's it's a guy my dad knows. But he has a bunch of uh buffalo like land and has buffalo And he had one buffalo that was kind of his like pet like it was almost like special treatment. Bigger took care of it, and one day it gored him to the point that he like he broke his rectum like it was bad, broke it. Yeah, it was bad and lacerated. Maybe I get Gordon,

but that the whole thing is that whole life. That buffalo huge probably looked at him as my keeper, my the person I look up to, the person I'm familiar with, like buffalo. Know that maybe you just gave me a new excuse to not come in to work that no one will question. I got by a buffalo broken rectum? Where's Danny? You just text Zach Dude? Okay, god god broken. I know it's a weird story, but that's is he Okay? Yeah, I no, he ended up

surviving. I don't know how he did it. It was having like in the pin of the you know, and it threw him and it gord him pretty good blessed. Do you think all domesticated animals or I wouldn't call a buffalo or whatever domesticate animal, but as much as one could be, it

sounds like this guy treated him like a pet. Do you think they harbor some sort of simmering resentment for their masters and they're just waiting for their golden opportunity In the back of their head, they're like, yes, I'm hungry today, I'm gonna eat. Yeah, fine, I'll sit. Yeah, but if if given the chance. You know, it's funny you mentioned that.

Just yesterday randomly, I watched a single episode of Game of Thrones called Battle of the Bastards the Bag That was after the end of second penultimate episode of season five. I think those one those real dark, right, I don't know they're all real dark? Well no, I mean like this is when John's team John Snow went against Team Ramsey Bolton severely outnumbered. Yeah, where John Snow. Oh it's awesome, it's so good. Like the coolest

part is the very beginning the night before the battle even happens. Yeah, and and John Snow and Ramsey meet out on horses, you know, with just a half dozen people, and sounces there and they just have a chat and every word is just so perfect because it's a book, you know. And John Snow basically says, I agree, all these men don't need to die. We can settle this right now, like one on one, me and you, we can fight right now, and we don't have to do

all any of this. And then Ramsey's perfect and he's like, look, I don't know if i'd beat you in a fight, but I know my armyal beachers, So essentially I decline. And then Johnstone's like, oh, well, are your men gonna fight for you? Knowing that you wouldn't fight for them. It was just everything's perfect and for them, Okay, not brave Heart, come on mail, but anyway they fight. There's battle plans, there's flanking, there's back up showing up. It's just beautiful art cinema.

But the very end is how they ultimately kill Ramsey. Bolton Sansa has a little bit of saying that, yeah, well John's nose beating him silly and it was about to beat his face into mush. And then he looks over at Sansa, you know, and John's got crazy eye. He he just fought for seven hours, and she's kind of looking and he's like,

oh, yeah, the same mind, this is yours. And they tie him up and feed him to his own hungry dogs, bringing it back to the discussion we're just having this, and he's like, there's no way my dog, my hounds whatever hurt me. And she's like, well, you just said you hadn't fed him for seven days and threatened to feed all of

us to them. And then the hounds come out, you know, and they his kind of start sniff and he's literally covered in words were down, no, no, down, down, And then all the show is like the snatch of like his chin and the hound just tears his face off. That's Kevin turned in. It was such a fitting end for his storyline, man, because he was the worst, probably the most evil, the most evil character on Game of Thrones. Yes, and then Jeoffrey is in in

some because he's just got his crossbow shooting hookers just for sport. Yeah, like Jeffrey more childish though childish, and Jeffrey They needed that for the uh Lanister to show that because of the cross breeding, some of them just turned out a little touched a little, didn't it turn out? The dragon Boobs was one of the worst. I mean, if you think about his dragon moves. The queen, oh well yeah, and she's just targariant. No,

yeah, lady's targarian. She's crazy too, because in breeding, that's the beauty of it, as all of them, all these pure timelines. But look, guess what if you bang your cis we're all related somehow, right. We had to get here someway right if you believe in that. The how did Adam and even know their name was Adam and Eve? God told them, Yeah, dude, straight up, and it wouldn't Adam and Steve? Kevin, Yeah, Kevin, I don't want to hear it today. Sorry. You want to call a place in Las Vegas? Yeah,

it's Super Bowl week? Do you guys know that? Ask them if they can name a famous Australian food. Ask them if they serve Australian food after the fine establishment, j do you mind calling the famous chicken ranch? Did you have a backup, Mike? In case? What the second most popular brothel. Yeah, any place in Las Vegas. No, they're all gonna say no. The chicken wretch might want to try to book an appointment, and that's what's on the men. Good morning, then for go on the

world famous stoic chicken inch. My name is Cassi. How may help you? Hello, Cassie, My name is Larry. How you doing this morning? Doing well? How about yourself? Sir? I did like four o'clock there, Yes, it is okay. So I'm flying out for the for the Super Bowl. Oh, by the way, I'm on the air in Dallas or do we have permission to speak to you? Of course? All right. My friends Mike and Danny and I I'm Larry. We're flying out, uh to Vegas for the big for the big game. Have y'all had

seen your traffic go up? Jesus? You ran her off and one you couldn't even get a hooker interested in you. You're like willing to give her money and she turned you down. You handle it? That went terribly, didn't they? I was struggling to get to the people affording the call to Yeah, all right, we just played the replay. Brad, How big a boy were you? We need to replay Kevin talking in talking to a

girl that went really good in a long time for the Big Games. Ask if they had a restaurant there, if they serve Australian food, you had it? She said, what she realized that she gave permission to be on the air. I think she went, you know what, No, actually

not, I'll hang up. Yeah, It's like she said yes, and then once it's registered what you had actually said, she realized that you didn't want any part of this, or maybe you guys creeped her out by not saying anything, but just the idea of having a three on one situation may here go. I don't know if I want to talk to three men right now. I doubt that's the first. As someone's at the counter, as someone's at the counter waiting on their change. What a weird place, I

know, dude. I think about that often, like how do you go in and they're all just lined up in the lobby? I will select you also, you do you remember that? It's like a documentary series that they showed, Uh what was it on? I can't remember, but anyway, they Dennis Hoff had that show and yeah, the Catouse was it called the cat house hbo Okay, yeah, yeah, and the Air Force Amy, and that's where it was. Was it at the Chicken Ranch? I don't

know that's the same. It was a little different bunny ranch. Oh Moonlight

Moonlight Bunny Ranch. I think that's what it was called. But yeah, that whole process of the dude walks in and they he goes up to this little tiny bar that maybe you could see three or four people at and they give them a drink and chat them up a little bit, and then it's time for the parade of lasses and here they come and uh you kind of stand there and make your selection and go into one of their freshly sanitized boudoirs. It is so gross, Oh my god, so gross, and then

love making ensues. Kevin, So that's the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Yeah, where they had that. And Dennis Hoff passed away recently, like can the last a couple of years, and Big Dick Hunter saved lamar Odom. He did Colleague of Ours a Land Far far Away. Lamar Odem basically said I want to have all the sex with anyone you got, and allegedly that meant women and former women. There you go. We had the Love Ranch the

Moonlight Bunny Ranch, the sage Brush Ranch, KitKat Guest Ranch. There's a lot of these things, Tim Tam Ranch within like a really close proximity to one another, or they've spread out. No there what, No, they're kind of all. There's a lot of like regions, a lot of them in like northern Nevada. Are there twenty one legal brothels in Nevada as of twenty eighteen. Let's call another one down from its peak of thirty five in the eighties. What's a what's another one called? I don't know, man,

you just listened. Well, I'm on a Wikipedia page. We need to find the ones in Perump we need we need the ones close. I was looking at a minute ago. Lazy b Ranch, Salt Wells Villa, Arizona Club brothel. They used to have them in Dallas. Really Frisco. Yeah, not far from where we are, just maybe, I don't know,

ten miles north of here. If you go when I first moved here in late eighty six, early eighty seven, you could drive up to eighty nine what is otherwise own as Preston Road, and when you got up to the Frisco area, there were probably, to my best of my memory and maybe some listeners can chime in at two one four, seven, eight, seven, one nine seven one if you go that far back that there were homes that were kind of like it was just fields, like open land out

there, but there were these houses, big big houses, and about every I don't know, quarter of a mile or so, there'd be another one. I remember about three or four of them, and they were very well lit. They looked like the house from Porky's if you remember that, and it was like, yeah, like here this is. It was definitely a destination spot. There would be cars parked out and they were brothels. And I don't know if they were legal. There's no way they were legal,

but they were. They kind of flew under the radar or there was some agreement with law enforcement that don't mess with us, we'll be cool, or we'll kick back something to the city of Frisco. I'm not sure, or to the but they were enforcement. There were horrors houses in freaking North Dallas, man, and I don't know what the names of them were. I I don't even remember why I was out there, but it was with a friend and he, you know, it was kind of showing me the lay

of the land. He goes, yeah, man, over there, those are whorehouses. I'm like, what I think? I think it's too complicated of a topic time eighteen to get into right now. But there are many that believe legalizing prostitution having said whorehouses would cut down on trafficking. Yeah, now, I do think there's is like when that conversation takes off, it can go down many freeways, and I think it could go down a freeway. It's also like, wouldn't that enhance trafficking to to be like we're getting

people to work bike? So, I mean, I think it's Do you think that legalizing marijuana in some states has just eliminated the street pot dealer? No? Yeah, right? So what's the infamous chicken ranch in Lagrange? Is that? What's what's the best little whorehouse in Texas? Is that? That? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know how they were able to operate. You know, it was a different time. There's a gun on the phone who knows a little bit about this stuff.

Pop him off, see what he's got, claim and press us man Dandy barn and boys, how are y all today? Hey? Fin? You got knowledge? On this number one, number two? Am I way off base or do I remember this kind of correctly? You're actually really pretty close. But there were only two houses, and they actually sat in an unincorporated area between Clayo and Frisco, and that's how they were operating. Okay, okay, that makes sense. How old are you, by the way,

eight? Okay, so you're a little bit older than me, not by much, but so you lived in the area back then, and this was common knowledge and they were able to operate just free of any law interference. Yeah, for the most part, I don't think, you know, it was kind of like everything else. Don't ask, don't tell, right, kind of did their thing. And when they shut down, believe one of the houses got torn down and the other one got turned into a real estate

office. So they went from one kind of horror into another kind of horror. Well put, okay, did you ever drive by them and see them in person? Wink? Uh? Yeah, I mean I had just started driving early a so eighty three eighty four, but used to drive up to go who knows up into Frisco and but yeah, they were always open and yeah that went in always well lit. Right, they were clearly drawing attention to themselves. That's weld and I think guess they shut down, probably not

long after I moved here. I couldn't answer that. I just remember, you know, they were there, and they were just south of what one one was. Yeah, yep, that's right. People are two lane blacktop too. Eighty nine was too lane blacktop. That's it. See, I'm not a liar, Kevin. People are saying the body shop was in Frisco. I don't know. Do you remember the names of them? I don't because they didn't have any signs out on the street, just two houses kind

of back off the a little off the road. I feel like they were pretty well lit though, like they had kind of some blingy Christmas light type things. They were illuminated to the street where you knew they were there, like if you were driving by at night. They were trying to hide themselves. Yeah, no, you could miss them. Thanks for calling, man, that's awesome, Thank you yea, guys, have a good day, Love you dog. You believe there was April's and the one twenty one hot

tub club. Someone else says there's some in Oklahoma. Still, I don't know the legality of that. Yeah, the Tub Club. The Tub Club better than the Tub Girl Club. Indeed. Yuck. Well, it told just gonna be a weird week in Vegas. That's just it's kind of the long break. I'm just kinda you're doing good. It's be a weird week in Vegas. And that's why the week is starting to send a little bit

because yesterday the official pro life spider Man tried to climb the sphere. Details next to ninety seven on the Freak
