Good morning world. It's a Weezer Wednesday here on the Downbeat, where we have five chances for you to win Weezer tickets all throughout the show. But you have to listen all throughout the show. Want to know when, where, how to get these tickets. So do that because me, Kevin and Danny and Mike and JJ we got fun one today. We've got a lot of fun stuff playing and me micro oh, I said your name, Mike,
I'd have my headphones on you. I figured I didn't know if you didn't introduce me today because of you know what, Yeah, because of the allegation. That's all they are. It really is so prove. Remember that where there's smoke, no, there's always fire. There's smoke. Machines they don't have fires. Where there's smoke, there's a monster. It's all sorts of Hollywood tricks, shoes and clubs, concerts, there's smoking all these things. There's not fire in any of them. So no, did I say
there's fire? No, I did not. You the guilty dog. My mom taught me this. The guilty dog always barks first. And your defensive attitude smoke anyway, smoke, defensive attitude towards me, just saying where there's smoke, I was going to say, where there's smoke, there's more smoke. He did start you happened he did, just right out of the kennel. He's like, I didn't do anything. It could be a smoke machade. I've never heard where there's smoke, there's more smoke. I didn't expect.
That's it's new. It's new. It's a hot new phrase. Down beats fresh, very fresh. We're not your dad's morning show. Oh we don't go on spring break. Oh yeah, and we don't tell you about Dak's contract for four hours. No, that's for damn sure. What about the Ranger rotation through that? Not yet. It's funny you mentioned that because on my computer is an article from the Morning News about Scott Boris and Montgomery. But we're not gonna just do only that. We have fun, Oh
my god, a big fun. Give me the amount of fun we have today? Do we have fun? Oh my god? Our guy Charlie and promos is like I got five Weezer tickets for you, five pair, five pair, and it's not just Weezer. Let me say this. This is announced on Monday and I got pretty excited. American Airline Center, September twenty ninth, Weezer thirty year anniversary of the Blue album, which they're going to play in its entirety Yes, plus other fan favorites, rarities and hits with
support from the Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Junior. Which do I know a Dinosaur Junior song? I must say a band punchline name. You wouldn't know at least one because it was in regular rotation. Uh for return cuts at the old stage? Oh really yeah, okay, I can look it up, but no, I can help you feel the pain probably is the one that's their biggest hit. That's not my favorite song of there's probably well, like I'll play it. Did you cream me up? Please play that song?
You probably know that much, but maybe not. I feel like i'm leaning. Yes, I've been seventy percent. Yes, but I get you in Oh yeah, oh I needed sixty. Yeah. This guy will just get to it. Then we can hear it, but he will get to it. Get to is, get get to them there? Oh my god, way he did the ding ding again. I thought there's no way you know they're from an arrow When people made five minute songs and put them on albums
that didn't happen. That's why it was a good return cut. You've gotta have a lot of instrumental space to play voiceover crap and introduce the crew. I know reset that you're gonna have some college basketball coach on in an hour. Awesome again, jn O is only a month away. Hey, it's just two clicks to the right. It's really easy, folks, It's really easy. I'm going against it. It's the soundtrack of my life. I've been buying Nikes my whole life. I like him. I'm a Nike guy.
You know that Adidas makes an infinitely you know, different shoe that might work better for you. I don't know. Don't have to have the turkey sandwich for lunch every day? You don't? Yeah, do you go to the store and you got Hey, guess what? Do we all have a favorite band? Okay, who's your favorite band? And you only listened to Dave Matthews Records right? Hardly ever? Okay, that's a great logic,
Kevin, Yeah, it's a great logic. He bits more detox because I go see him about five times a year, though, And there's nothing wrong with it. Yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Have you sent the Flaming Lips mic Oh yeah, and you Danny's probably, but you I you know, I didn't even know what to think. And then I saw him, like that's again. That is a party. The American Airline Center too, with funding the giant transparent ball, it's always fun. They're gonna get
ridiculous. I saw them this year, like a week after the World Series, and Eric Nadell was sitting two rows behind me, and I didn't bother him, you know, and didn't want to. Who hadn't talked to him in a while and has looked back though every five ten minutes. And I looked back and just the biggest smile on the face of Eric nadel Yeah, and it made me, I mean, I was sitting there just it all
of made me want to cry. And still didn't sink in that the Rangers won the World Series though I'm still going on still it still hasn't and won't probably are they are Flaming Lips or Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City because I was associated them with kind of here but sort of a local local band. Yeah, and they played a lot here. You know what's interesting about them? Is, well, this is not interesting. I take that back. It's
not that interesting to anyone. But tell it, don't tell it. I went to Radiohead with Mike and Cash and the Gang and Skin was there and weirdly Tim Kallishaw was there and it was strange it we'll I went together. I think we love Radiohead. We had Cumulus tickets back then in twenty eleven, twenty twelve or did they play aac oh? Yeah? And did Midley coping for them? This was? I don't remember that, this King of Limbs tour. I think they might have. I can't really I feel like
to remember that. You might be right, I'll out, No, it wasn't. It was not mid Midlake did some dates with them. I think in Europe this was. I think a band opened for them. That was another band from uh Oklahoma. Do you crap? What's the site? Other Lives or whatever? Yeah, other Lives That's who it was. Mike Costy, No, Mike Costy, what up fits? That is great? Dude? Did you watch that doc? He won't send it to Yeah, yeah, he won't send it to me. He's like, nope, you gotta
pay for you to go see it at a at a festival. It's like the Dumb Zone podcast. You gotta go see thanks to the free episode. Guys. I really want to hear what happens when the legal action takes off? And I gotta subscribe to Patreon. When does the muslinging start? Come on? Jake cook up a brother that show that at the end of that show, you know, lights come on and we're kind of staying around, probably drinking. Yeah, that's cal Shaw. He probably wasn't at the time.
I don't know, maybe he was. But there is Wayne Coin, the lead man of the Flaming Lips, dressed like he always is. Yeah, suit jacket, huge fro. What my hair would look like if I just kept it growing, dressed like a pinata. And I just remember we were all drunk, and I think Cash was kind of the lead dog in this, and we all start going wine whine. Hey, guys, what's going on? He doesn't know a single one of us, stoned out of his mind. Were just there to see He was on like two rows in
front of us watching Radiohead. Okay, I remember that. I don't remember us screaming, Wayne sound like us. That might mean you we did it. Definitely, I'm pretty sure We're like, oh, that's Wayne Coin. Nah. We yelled at him and came over. All of us are yelling wine. That doesn't sound like something any of us would do. Wang after a radio No, we were yelling wang because I'd pulled it out for a minute. You guys were ponting, ponting, yelling wang. And then he
turned around. He came to see and then instead of shaking our hands, you shook your Peenis Tom's up there trying to delicately perform exit music and he just hears with somebody is somebody saying Wang Wang. I'll have you know, A they were done playing and B they didn't play exit music that night. I remember being at that show, and I remember also I remember somehow I got it was either a sweet ticket that somebody had that offered it up, or I was in a seat that was about as far away as you can
get, and it felt like such a disconnect. And I love Radiohead as much as any other band, and I don't know, it didn't impact me the way that the I was at the five or oh six show and the Inn Rainbow Store at STARplex, which is still to this day the single greatest concert I've ever been to. I absolutely love that. That is were you you were in the pit for in Rainbows where you I was really close.
I was probably about maybe twelve to fifteen rows back behind the pit or in GA, Like, were you standing in the standing front or the seats? It was it was seats. It was a little bit behind the Okay are you talking? So this was this was at StarPlus. Yeah, but I was standing room in the they had the GA pit. Still, No, I don't. I think I was actually in an actual seat, but you
find yeah, yeah, well, because they and King of Limbs. That tour specifically, it was very the lighting was kind of like small, and it created like a little house over the stage, and if you were sitting way outside of that, I think I can totally see what you mean of sitting outside. The feeling outside the venue almost it felt much like when we saw Metallica. Yeah, and it's one once you haven't a ref you did
and drove like a madman trying to get out of there. Once you experience a band in an intimate fashion, whether you're close up at a big venue or in a smaller arena, and then you see him again and you might not have the best seats. It's just never going to match that, No, And I think that I've seen some of my favorite bands in those ways. The second best concert I ever went to, and I may have told you guys this before, was in nineteen eighty six. Traveled from Knox City
to Fort Worth with a buddy of mine from high school. We were still in school, and I think this was over a weekend. Showed up. Metallica was opening up for Ozzy Osbourne and it was on their Master of Puppets
tour. Cliff Burton was still alive. It was about maybe about two or three months before, maybe a few weeks before he died in that bus crash, and we ended up getting just miraculously about fourth row seats, center stage ticket, the last ticket at this yeah, at the booth, and some reason we just fell into our laps and it was incredible, like I could not believe what I was seeing. And then seeing them again at Jerry World, so far away, so disconnected. Yeah, it just yeah, you're
kind of it's I might as well have been watching it on TV. I struggle with the oh, well, I think we all do right. The Jerry World concert and even the Global Live Field concert I've been to a couple of those too, and asked, I've never seen the Strokes before. It's a weird time to see them for the first time in twenty twenty three. Yeah, and never seen the Red Hot Chili Peppers before. And I like them both very casually, but do like them. And I was like,
you want to go? And I'm not like being snobby or saying it didn't sound good. It was far away. Yeah, outdoors, which is always a wild card when you're mixing outdoors sound. I saw The Strokes at Gypsy Tea room on their very first tour, the first time through DFW, and they play for about thirty four minutes. That's all they had. That's all they had, and that's what Julian said from the stage, and they finished their last tune, which I believe was New York City Cops. They played
every song from h Is This It? And at the end of it, he addressed the crowd said we're not gonna do it on core because we don't have any more FN songs. Good night, and just drop some Mike and they all walked off and the show was over. The house lights came on, We'll go on there, and it was great. It's awesome. So yeah, that incredible. I could go the rest of my life never going. I've never been to a Cowboy game at the new Stadium, not one
time. I could go the rest of my life and on my deathbed look back and go you know what. I never went and saw the Cowboys at at and T and I will not have one rigirt, not one. We gotta get Danny. I just don't care. We got to start to go fund me get Dingu to the Cowboys game next year. It's not a matter of I know enough people that would probably give me a free ticket that have tickets or access to them. I've been offered tickets and I'm like, no.
You need to experience the glamour of Jerry World. Yeah, dude, Sunday Alexis, Texas is there every week, sing and go Cowboys. It's the greatest stadium ever that's ever been created. You need to go experience it. And it's not just the Cowboys. You can also see the Washington Commanders. Dude. You can see Tyler Battish and Drn's Armstrong play football, Dan Quinn's revenge. Think about the storylines. When do we know do we know they play like home and away. Yeah you know, yeah we do.
Oh yeah, who do they play interesting here this year? I look at that all the time, and I have pulling it up now because I do like to pinpoint a few. I also as a Packers fan, you know, sometimes my family we make a few. I'd say about every other year on average. Movie once every three years we get up to Green Bay and go to a game and just have the best weekend and it's just awesome. Cowboys will play at home this year against obviously Eagles, Giants, Commandy's Oh
these are trash Saints. That's Danny's team though, Oh, that is your squad, the Saints. You can pull some stuff off the wall at twilight and wear it to the game. Buccaneers Detroit Lions. Then you can get some Texans, Ravens and Bengals. That's pretty good. Texans, Ravens and Bengals all perennial AFC contenders next year, Mike, these are playoff teams goal lower Bucks Lions. I could see the Cowboys missing the playoffs coz there win
four games. Next year. You can get smashed by twenty five to the Texans at home. Dan Quinn's going to the Super Bowl. Absolutely, I almost would not care. Awes used to do this as our previous station, because we get I mean, you probably have those opportunities, had the seat on the plane, you know, to go on cowboy trips, and I
never really got old boy a little bit. But every year the schedule come out and be like, all right, where And I was there long enough to where I had a little bit of seniority where I could kind of get in early and be like, Hey, this is the trip I want to take, and you're like, wait for the schedule come out. It's like, all right, what city do I want? Essentially a free solo trip to stay in the best hotel in the city, you know, transportation via
police escort, and it's fun. Like I got to go to a few cities that I'd never really had been to or would plan on traveling to. I don't have that anymore. We don't do that. But they're playing on the road against all of our normal ones. Forty nine Ers would be good. Atlanta Falcons, Okay, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte's a fun city. Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns. You know what I'll say this, Pittsburgh's an under it. Pittsburgh is awesome. Love Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is so fun. Great
place to see a game too. Never been to Cleveland I ever wanted to go. Never been to Cleveland. Oh no, I have been to Cleveland. I'm sorry. I'd never to Cincinnati. That's the one I kind of want to go to. Do. Cincinnati. One's great. I was on a beautiful day and there was like, they have a river right there, and there's boats coming up to eat at nice restaurants and I know I did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and stuff. It was very walkable,
but it was perfect weather. It's always dangerous to see a city when when she's looking her absolute best. Yeah, because I bet Cleveland gets terrible sometimes. But hell Like, I went to Buffalo last year for that Bill's game and it was gorgeous. I'm like, dude, Buffalo rocks. We could just look at Buffalo, picture it under hell fire conditions of minus eleven for a month straight and be like, I can see how this place sucks. But Cleveland was nice. What do the people think when they come here to
Dallas and Fort Worth? They think it's a concrete jungle. I bet they're highly confused. So wait, I bet they think Fort Worth is close to Dallas. I mean it is, no, but they think it's closer than it is actual Maybe not? Maybe, Well, are are there other cities that are like outside of New York Minneapolis? Paul was thinking of that. It's like Fort Worth is this is Saint Paul's South, right. I remember
Old Simpson's joke and I can never find it. And frankly, I don't know if I just made it up in my head, but it was Krusty the Clown, Krusty with a k Keep in mind, Rusty the Clown joins Jackie Gleeson and Kevin from the office. It was the latest Bailest impressions, and Crusty was trying to justify his fame to someone. He's like, I'm huge in Dallas, fort Worth, Well, fort Worth, long before I ever crossed my mind to live here or anything. But I just thought it
was a funny joke. Well, I can't even google it and find it now. Really, yeah, and Simpsons every script is out there and you don't recall the episode. This is fifteen years before I moved here, it was thirty five years ago. Maybe it's out there now. Let's look, you know what, somebody will text it to us. You'll find it.
There's a website when I worked because I worked for the Simpsons for a little bit, and even they, the writers and everyone are like, look, if you really need a research done, go to SNPP, which is a Springfield National power Plant, I think. And it's the website that's like the hub of everything Simpsons, including I think, every script and every fact and
every you know, and it's independent of the Simpsons. But they're like, it's just so good, we can't possibly build something that would keep up with them. Jeopardy does like that every episode, every question, every winner, what the score is when it goes to commercial break after round one. I mean, it's an almanac. I love almanac. Now. Almanac's for my favorite band I was talking about earlier. Every song they ever played, stats covers you name it, how many times it's opened, And I love stats
you do. But there's no other city. I was thinking, there's another, like a popular American city that I can think of right now that you just put, like Dallas for worth together. You don't do Nashville, Memphis because they're not that close, not at all. I'll complete opposite sides of the state. Well, what makes a metroplex? Does it need to be It doesn't need to be too different because New York is a metroplex. But
do they count Brooklyn? And did were those individual cities many many, you know, a hundred years ago and then they just it just brused into what had to be one place a metroplex, Like your example, Brooklyn to Manhattan is so much closer than Fort Worth in Dallas, right, but it was it's such a condensed place. I wonder if they started as different, like yeah, yeah, and that's Brooklyn, but by name it's just Dallas for Worth. Is there another one? I don't think there is that's big too.
It's I mean that has like the double city that comes up to San Francisco. Oakland is the Bay Area, okay, but I wouldn't consider that a metroplex. I don't know what. And then La is just La, and then you have neighborhoods, right yeah, yeah, but I mean Culver City is an address, right yeah, send yeah, and it's all that's that's got to be a metroplex. Yeah, But is it like when there's
two or more larger cities kind of on top of each other. And when does I guess society as a whole stop looking at them as different cities like Dallas, Fort Worth and or Dude, I think some people do not look at it as two different places. Were we it's North Texas were we were? We considered DFW before the airport, I wonder And because the airport kind
of in the early seventies was the kind of the great connector. And then naturally as cities expand there the vinees end up getting entwined with each other and it kind of all connects. But when does the boroughs of New York just all become New York City. Another one is Tampa Saint Petersburg. Yeah, that's definitely one. For Suapa Bay is just a body of water, you know, but the football team is named after a body of water, not
even an actual city. Fascinating, fascinating topic on Weezer Wednesday. No less, whoo should Wednesday? Five uh piers tickets. Let's let's go and set it up here.
