Transcript

Welcome to March. Ready, flex and welcome to Friday. For the Dawn Beats have opportunity for you to win some tickets. In the eight o'clock hour. We will have Mikey's Morning News at eight thirty, so much Sports at seven. At seven the song Vampire is in town performing tonight. Go a little deeper on that. Who is she sucked the blood out of? Don't I have two coyote stories today? Mike? Can you believe that? Two? What's happening out here? If I can handle two, buddy, I'll

make it one and a half. We're gonna have a great day by getting fully energized. Mikey is holding a Celsius in his hands. I've never had a Celtic in my life. You I haven't got. Christina loves these things, the delicious. I thought they were Uh, there's booze in them. They look like all those booze drinks sons, like the Seltzer cans. Yeah, it's the tall skinny, but this is just a little bit of a

caffeine, right, Look at all those zeros on the nutrition facts. Oh yeah, Oh and you get the orange, yeah a little that's sparkling orange. Yeah. Oh oh, essential energy. There's not a lot. There's a lot of hundreds. This has one thousand percent of my required daily biotine. Yeah, you probably don't have biotine very often, but the other stuff. I feel the biotine coursing through my veins right now. My god, good for you. Pan athenic ass. No sugar, no carbs, no

carbs, no sodium or no five miligram sodium a little bit sodiums. Do you look at the daily value percentage when you look at nutritional facts or do you look at the mologram? For me, I'm more a carb guy, so I just kind of look at that. So, yeah, the daily percentage thing. Occasionally I'll look at You're not ketoing, are you. You're just kind of watching the carbon, kind of watching it. And it works just watching them go in at tension. It works watching them go in by

the hundreds. Yeah. I mean there's probably better ways or probably faster ways and better ways to do it, but it fits me and my weird schedule. You know, you look great. Oh thanks man, it was like six pounds sin. It's like, you know, and then I'll and then I'll just destroy this weekend with food really and I'll be up four and then I'll fight back. You know, I'll lose. I mean, I can lose five pounds in a week for the first week, you know, and

then it kind of gets incremental. Man Antonio. I saw Oprah was removed from the weight Watchers board because she basically admitted to using an Ocempic type product. There's a million of them now. It's like, oh, you can't be on the weight Watchers board if you're cheating, cheating with Ozipic. She was cheating on weight Watchers with the new hot Bitch removed from the board as a result. Yeah, why she removed herself from the board ethically, okays,

as long as it works and you look great. I mean it looks like it works and say, no, dude on my weight Watchers and I think they caught her or something happened. There's a bit of a scandal there, or maybe she did herself or just trust me. Total skimming and headlining here. Yeah, that's what I did. Read the article, but I thought that was interesting, like, because that is this Ozipic thing. Ozimpic has made a ton of money. Usage of it is up fifty eight percent,

like the last six months they're finding more and more. It's no longer like super dangerous to people who need it because they're diabetic, because they've got enough of it now that it's kind of anyone can get it. I was scrolling Hulu last night as I tried to watch Showgun for ten minutes that the new huluh hhow what do you mean? Tried to watch Oh no, I no no. I could tell that it was gonna be a thing where you got to pay attention, and I was not in pay attention mode, you

know. So it's like, if I can't lock in and focus, I don't need to. The Dinger watched the first episode No Danny Bayle was today Danny has the day off. I just wanted to tell people right out of the gates before they start itching, before Whitney starts hitching or left arm give me the ding, thinking what's wrong? I got a no ding? Where's my ding? No ding? Today? Yeah? All right, we don't like it just as much as you or less. Women of the Metroplex sigh

and slump their shoulders. They don't get to listen to the baseline close to ding. There you go. He hates it when we talk about him as it being a sex panther. I don't understand it. I don't either. It's like the one thing I've always wanted. Yeah, I would love it if I'm annoyed that people keep saying I'm hot. Hell, well yeah, no, he's just like, stop it, I am not. Yeah, like he's genuine because I do it off the air too, It's not just

on the air. Yeah, I'm like, this guy gets to be hot forever, and hot forever is a label that I don't certainly don't have, respectfully, Kevin, I don't think you have it either. No, I don't. I'm not the official judge of this, never had it. But Dingu gets to be hot forever. He's fifty five, he's going to be sixty five and look about exactly the same. I'm certainly some natural aging, but he's still gonna be tall and lean with cool hair that's gonna have flicks

of gray in it. Did you sick of it? Did you check your patties? Humor is really the only way, it's like your only mode of wooing a woman, or self defense, because no one really ever wanted to fight me too much either, really could just kind of in and keep it loose, Keep it loose. Yeah, it's kind of funny. Well, I mean I'm hot, Kevin, that's not I mean, let's just jump all the way to that. I'm not Dingu levels here, big mind, I'm big mic dingu in a full suit playing bass, right, just thumping

his bass standing back there. It's sort of like when you watch Radiohead, you know, and ever eyes are on tom yorke but then you see big ed over there, Ed O'Brien and it's like he's not the most important member of the band. Good lord, look at that tall, beautiful hunk of a man. Yeah, that's Danny and every band he's in. He may not be the front man, you know, he may not be on the mic, singing or whatever, but you know the eye is drawn. Yeah, that tall sip of Celsius stand in the back. Hi JJ, good

morning, good morning. You think Danny's handsome? Night? Yeah? Oh yeah, good looking dude. Right, I have a great visual here where I'm sitting. I feel like that's a little unfair because like from your angle to me, you get kind of the side view and a double chin, and I'm always kind of hunched over, So I feel like I may not be doing myself. Justice may get mine bad side for sure. Yeah, she gets both of our bad sides. She gets just straight on ding I

get jealous when I read the text coming in. I'm like, no, he's my dingo. Yeah, stay away. We don't get many emojis except for what it's hearts for Dingo it is. I know everyone send emojis for us today. Well we'll send them off to the Just send the the doodoo emoji a cupcake. We need hearts and I heart eyes. Hey, this guy get texted in and you can text in all day two four seven one and texting call all day from a competitive bodybuilder focused hutting fat rather than carbs

for weight loss. And you know, I'm just not a competitive body I appreciate the feedback, but I'm not a competitive bodybuilder. I don't think although the competitive bodybuilder would know more about it than me. Well, it doesn't mean he's not right, but yeah, I think you're you're working from a different a different area than the rest of us. And Danny did say he might pop in today. Why I don't remember. He just left it obscure. He might bring Malcolm up. Yeah, car wash and his fireman outfit.

His kid wears a fireman out like a legitimate badass fireman outfit every day, his stores, to malls, to gas stations. He's just dressed as a fireman. He loves mannequins. Did you have something you wanted to be when you were a little boy radio? Yeah, not when you were his age. When you're two, I played by play Yeah, when you're two, Oh as too, I mean probably, yeah, I get that.

A drug o athlete, yeah, I think I did want to be the quarterback of the Dolphins, you know, But then until recently six or seven, after a couple of years of experience on the Sega genesis, just announcing the game in the room doors closed, Really, who you talking to in there? I was doing the game. I want to be a playboy play guy. Yeah, we're getting a lot of egg plants flying in already, figured, thank you, thank you, Except for miking grape fine, he

did send us hearts from a competitive fat guy. Eat good food, not bad food. It is just a never aenny war what you eat. And it gets worse as you get older too, though, and oh yeah, how it sticks. But it's just unfair that you can't give us every one I drive by everything from here to my house. Dozens within a mile of where I'm driving, there's a dozen type of every cuisine you can think of, fast options, high end options, sit down options. Everything. We

can't handle that. And then if you eat restaurants, it's all just salt and butter anyway, because all their only job is to make it delicious, and like Heroin that you have to come back and pay to eat again. It's not like, you know, when you go to restaurants, they're real concerned about your health. They just want your buns back in there again. So guess what more butter more, butter more bread. I mean, it's a great Norm McDonald joke, but he's like, America is the only country

where we eat a hole of of bread before we have our entree. We did? We eat a whole bag of chips before we have our Mexican food entre. We did a whole segment on that in the previous Downbeat where and we I don't know, I don't even remember all of them, but we just had. Why do they give you Why is it behoove a restaurant to give you free food before you order, you know, to suck you in because they know once you get there, you're probably hungry. You want the

snack, the drink. I mean, what goes good with drinks? Snacks? Yeah, well, salty stuff certainly. Yeah, gets you to want to buy drinks. And I guess their profit margin just explodes once you include alcohol drinks who drinks always do that? Ago, what would our tab have been? And if we decided to just hold off drink water, Yeah, they're just not you know, And it's like, oh man, we would have saved a pretty good amount of money. But then you have slump shoulder

server. It's like these guys are dud. Like I ain't getting over eighty bucks for this whole table. Tips gotta suck. I'm gonna go put pube in their food. They probably don't say that, but you know they're not back there plucking one. I don't worry about that, but I do worry. I don't know, I worry about that ever since I saw the comedy movie Waiting. Is there a pube in the food? There's a whole scene

someone's being mean you. No, I think it's you. I mean, you have your rude, but I think you had the people that came in. We close at nine and the people that come in at eight fifty. Yeah, and they're all like, oh, they all are you cleaning up in the kitchen And they're like no, I mean it's the closest thing to the bear. Even though it's a comedy movie, will you not do that? Well, you know, I don't think it's close to at all. It's just pretty real. They have to cook the line cook right there.

Who can't beee at the urinal? If people are watching Dane Cooks like cooking your food, I don't think i'd want that. And Dane cook plucks the one puts its garnish. The movie's gross, highly gross, But I wonder how many people started treating their waiters and waitresses better after watching them, Yeah, knowing like we can control your food, like we can. Clearly you

should just be nice to them, which is against the law. But but like the movie definitely put a thought in people's heads of like, what movie is this? Waiting? I've never seen it. It came out like five place. It's like it's like Ryan Reynolds, Anna Ferris, Amy Smart Ammy Smart, Okay, yeah, what are they doing? People's justin long Yeah, So it's basically following these these people who work at a restaurant. I mean there's a kid who's starting on his first day and they don't let him

get a word in all the movie. But yeah, they're just waiting. And you're just following these people at a restaurant and how it is to work in a restaurant business, and and there's so many different characters, and I mean you're seeing all of it, like you see how the hell that you go through working like from like no tips too, and they just react to different situations. I love that. It's it's really funny. I love it. Actually, did you ever work at a restaurant? No? You no,

look at you too. Well, I worked at a pizza place. It wasn't I like, I work at a pizza place, but it wasn't like you know, certain tables. Yeah, but I mean it's the food industry. It's brutal. It's tough because people think it's like all about them. Mean like yeah, the situation is just like okay, you're not like we're like understaffed and we're trying to stuff like that. So it's like it's brutal. I didn't mind. I like working at restaurants. I think I

could handle it. Yeah, But it's just like I said yesterday working at the sandwich shop, where it's just yeah, there's only so many things that are possible that you have to do, and it's just putting. It's like an app on your phone. You gotta keep putting this thing together, keep working, and be nice while you do it. Yeah, crack a few jokes when things get I can handle jobs that are like I've got a list of things that I need to do today, almost like a scavenger hunt.

You know. If the job's like that, I think I could handle that really well. Yeah, But the like any redundant they just want to love this show. I really feel like we're doing the same thing every day and all some of the segments are the same, you know, for branding and all that stuff. Like, it's pretty unpredictable on a day to day basis what we're gonna be talking about, what we're gonna be doing. Restaurant, I don't know. You probably do get tired of taking people's order. I

only got sick of the side work, which is repetitive. Bus and tables and well we had Yeah, you have to bust them a little bit. But usually there's a bus bus boy. But every table's new and different, and you know, there's a lot of just like this, some in communication and interaction, and your interaction and communication determines potentially how much money you make off that table. So it does behoove. You'd be nice and it be funny if you can and be unique. Yeah, so that's fun, and

it's sort of like a little present. Every table is a little present. You never know what you're gonna get here, what you're gonna wrap, And yes, it might be zero. You might get stiffed, but you might get a monster tip. And it's both of them are equally likely. I mean, I've read really got stiffed completely get bad tips. But sometimes you'll get someone drop a hundred bucks on you, you know, and that's like okay, and it's funny. When they leave, you know, and the

table's a mess, you gotta go start breaking it down. There's that moment where you open up the little booklet and you're like, all right, any of these people, look at them, I'll f they have a good life. Never see them again, never seen m again, but I wish them well, yeah too, well on your journeys. The two just had that incorporated tips were the sacker at the grocery store in Olney. But back then

it's not like this anymore. But back then you had your cashier and your sacker behind the counter and you put them on in the second take them out, and people were pretty good. I don't know if that's just small town kindness. People are pretty good about tipping. And then the other one and this is truly about communication and being enthusiastic and giving people an experience. Was when I was a tour guide at TMS. Now it was a part time job, but that job was I mean, I got the biggest tip I'd

ever got. I got two hundred bucks. How'd you get tips? You just did? You see? Remind him at the end, Hey, if you enjoyed your tour guide today, you know I should have because you get because that would almost I think, make people start to feel guilty if you had like a group that was like two families or three, because it's like the most people you could really have it. I was like eight to ten people and you're on a van. It's real weird. At least that's what

it was like back then. Do you remember like your intro and you welcome on the van or something like that was here. Uh, Like I get to TMS, I sit down on the van. I look up. Do you have a little walk little CB, a little speaker? So keep in mind, it's like forty five minutes to an hour, and you're transporting them across different areas. There's a couple stops and get out, you know, and walk around. But me knowing nothing about what I'm talking about, and

that situation was trying to kill as much time as possible. So if I can get fifteen minutes of this too, were taken up by these people telling me their full background, that's a victory for me, and I kind of wing it through. There's I can kill about three minutes walking up to the press box. Suits you know, there's ways to get around it. So the first play was hello everyone, Welcome to Texas Motor Speedway. You already knew that though, Okay, and then you pause, Yeah, pause for

laughter. You say that on your script, pause for laughter. Well, you know what, I used to it as a time to workshop jokes. Mike, God, I bet you did. I did. It was fun. But see, you have a person in front, but so you want to make sure it's person in front the whole time. You want to make sure that people of the back can hear you. Were you just talking or start to people like, all right, let's start in the back. Where are you guys from Jesus Kevin? Answer me? Did you have a microphone

or not? No? Okay, thank you? So you're just talking? Yeah, oh, but you're standing at the front of the bus right now. You're not driving a van, okay and driving and you want the people in the back to introduce themselves. Yeah, see, that's no good to Nobody wants to introduce themselves and do their own routine. And you get that. Hey, that was also a little bit of the because they signed this waiver. Inside, I'm just kind of holding the keys and swinging them on

my finger as I wait. But I'm trying to kind of find out in those minutes from them leaving the gift shop walking to the van, I try to find out who are the personable ones who are going to talk. But if you find out, because you don't want to put people in a position in a position that if they don't want to talk, you don't want to

put them on the spot. So I'd find the people that were most likely to speak up and maybe try to get them going, and then that might make everyone else open up, win them over, get them on your swe Keep in mind mostly old people too, Mostly old people. Young hipsters aren't taking van tours of Texas Motor Speedway. They weren't in two thousand and eight. Although I was just like a week day, twenty hour a week guy there, so just getting through it. And you got one hundred dollars tip

one time. I had two hundred dollars tip one time. It was incredible from a guy just it was an old lady. She slipped at two hundies. Yes, and she was like, that was the best tour I've ever been on. Yeah, shut up, but what'd you do? Curly rich? She had just giving off some miss Howel vibes. I am tired. You don't know Miss Howe is that's from Gilgan's Island kids to look it up. So she was giving out those you know, you can't tell. It's

kind of a rich family. But either way made them laugh the whole time. You could say the most just even keel dead pan, there's nothing to it, there's something not even that good, and just get lauded. And yes, it was like the time we did stand up at t K's because all her listeners are there. Good audience. It was a good audience home crowd. Well, the other comedians are like Jesus. That went really well. I was like, well, kind of the crowd on my side.

It was a lot of that. That was actually live audio from the end of your stand up set. I recorded it and gave it to JJ, which wasn't very good. He did, He did twelve minutes and then he heard this all right, and that is a room with one hundred people, and it really was one hundred people. Okay, give it up for strip mall Steve. That's how that went. Stripm' st doing with his front doing his frozen Mitch McConnell bit or just stop a little Jack. Yeah, that

was great. You know, I think you would do good and stand up. That's sweet. And I've heard that before and I continue to have very little urge to do it. It's so scary. I still lot the hell out of you guys that have done it. I still think my number one bit would have been taken off. I'm just leaving what like, because it was built up to the week that is going to be doing it, and I remember, Oh, yeah, I told you. I told you I'm going to the bathroom or something, and I told you I'm about to leave.

Yeah, he was going on in two minutes. And I went over to just give him a little hug, like a kind of a backstage like, dude, you're good. This would be great. Got a good crowd, and he looked me in the eye like with crazy crazy eye and said, I'm leaving. And then he walked toward the front door, and I'm like, please, so good. Bit that Kat has just left. And he's now in his car. He's on. People will be calling me. I'm in the car. You could hear me in the car. They're calling

you up right now. You just hear the blinker on and he's entering the tollway. That would have been great. I'm doing that next time. If we have been great, men, wi Lee with an on ten there, Mike start off his round. I won't give a quick and I'm gonna do well doing sports. He'll be done by then. Problem Anthony cam has two holes to play, okay on the live tour. I want to know how he's doing. We'll tell you at seven. I'll tell you at seven o'clock.

Suck on that tea because I will say it's shocking, oh shocking, what Anthony Kim is doing on the golf course this morning as a member of the Live Tour has two holes to play. Everything is shocking. I'm going to give an instagrade to the Celsius Sparkling Orange. Yeah, I'm going to give this a solid A. I don't know if I'm throwing the plus on there, but it's refreshing. Great. And if this thing does have a

caffeine in it, there should be a larger Okay. So nineteen ninety is when food and BEV were required on packaged foods to provide nutritional information, which is excellent and it's so good, but I don't know where they're Okay, this one does a caffeine content two hundred milligrams right at the bottom. There should be like a consistent box that says caffeine on it or doesn't say it.

Yeah, like an easy quick place to look. It's always small, yeah, And I don't you should have to work that hard for something so it doesn't hurt you, like you if you're either looking for it or not. It's not like fine. It shouldn't be a fine print thing. I wo'd agree with you there, or maybe even like a cool little symbol for caffeated or not caffeine that you could just look for it. It's like a big red plus or something like, all right, caffeinated, don't drink this

at night. But anyway, celsius, it's an alternative coffee. It's some potential here and delicious. A lot of texts with a lot of emojis coming in, a lot of people offering a lot of restaurant stories, which is great. Someone says, poor a lady probably had to mention and thought she was throwing you two ten dollar bills or one dollar bills. There's no way she meant to give you two hundred dollars bills for driving around TMS for an

hour. Maybe she had never been in a high speed chase before. What's the fastest you ever got it up to? Well, the rules were sixty, so you take the bank at sixty and they had dudes down there watching like if you were going over it, they would report you. But I did get it up to eighty. They had a motorcycle cop and the grass with a radar ghost. Yeah. You know how those NASCAR people are? They all communicate through walkie talkies and they love them. They love walkie talkies,

and I love walkie talkies. It's kind of fun to take them up to the top of the bank and they just put on the brakes and stop. Just then feel it, and then you say they feel that lean, you feel that it feels like you're about to tump over. Now imagine that at two hundred miles per hour, we're at sixty town to zero. Stop. Feels like the van's gonna Usually an old ladies like I can't handle it, about to throw up. Yeah, the g forces are taking her.

Yeah, as we're like, not cat, We're not in motion right now, We're just paused, but you and it feels when you're at the top of it feels like the van could whoop. Yeah, just rolled down the hill. It terrified people. Fun though, fun tour when I you know, wyon't you go back and do one tour one to commemorate the fifteen year I'll do anniversary since you're I would go, I'll do it in twenty twenty seven or twenty twenty eight is a twenty year inverse penciled me in I want

to be your first guest. All right, as long as you tip me, I'm good. Well, not too hundy though, All right, well this is pretty good. Oh how about this? I'm listening to y'all. Shoot, the breeze is strangely reacts, relaxing, enjoying the morning drive. Oh yeah, good morning, thank you, and sparkling orange is great.

We have lost fun stuff. The big Anthony Cam update coming up at seven, uh, Cowdy stories at seven point thirty, the hell and other stuff, and putting a new nickname for a politician that I think you're gonna love, Mike, I think you're gonna love it.
