I'm Cavatarnie, Dave Ellis, Mike's a Roy and Jay Jackson came in with all kinds of attires might help us make the perfect TikTok. We'll find out he's wearing the bandadda way differently. What are you doing that is not right? Uh? It's Cowboy Carter Day, Beyonce's new album dropped. H it's not Tupot Tuesday and I giving Cowboy you're giving? Oh yeah, suppose it. Ranger's gotta be look like Tupac. Yeah, you
do a little bit. You'll like a carbon copy of it, a little bit of a lighter version of that's supposed to me. Yeah, here's vanilla Tupac cream talk I got. We'll get there. Man. You look like you're wearing something that Michael Scott would at a racial sensitivity dude eating in the office, I somehow stumbled upon. Do you all remember when they did the
Asian Office on Saturday Night Live? Yeah, it's so offensive from eighteen years ago or whatever, and like they get into that today they would get reamed. Reamed, dude, we have the King of Country Music Quiz where you'll have an opportunity to win Creed tickets at nine because again Cowboy Carter dropped. Why did it drop? Midnight? Eleven midnight? I'm eleven pm last night, midnight, Oh Central, it got it dropped in other countries yesterday.
So there was a lot of yeah it very much. Yeah, all new music. If you have an artists who really care about you can go get it on Australia time, you know, ten to twelve hours before if you want to take those internet risks. But it hit eleven pm Central like old new drops do on Friday, and well maye run through some of it at six point thirty. Okay, give you a if that is the most important thing in the world. I think it is. Did you see what I
had found trending? Or no? What I was talking about? No hands ass only? What's the what was trending this morning? That's Beyonce related. She had something sexy, one of these your hands ass only, it's your hands at no hands here it is It says, no hands, I haven't gotten there yet. Bounce on that s no hands, Oh my god, I have gotten there. That's how she rolls, dude, you haven't got there yet. Lower in the song or lower in the album. Y know,
it's trending like crazy. Guys, get up. Oh you're talking about the song river Dance. Why don't you guys get caught up on the new stuff. We will six thirty strut in front of a microphone. We're gonna give you a little preeve at six thirty. All right, a prieve, just a few little bounce, a collab here, a collab there, a
clean version of this, and then we won't podcast it. But I really go ahead, No, I was saying before you got here, Kevin was, you know, going through some of the audio and giving a little preview listen to see what he wanted to play. And there was one moment where something happened where I had big eye roll, eye roll. And it had nothing to do with Beyonce. Oh okay, yeah, had everything to do
with me. No, it had nothing to do with you. Oh, but just something that was playing out of your your MacBook speakers just made me go really, really was Whiskey just shooting out of his MacBook speakers. I just don't understand why we have to force collaborations. Oh, Colabor's bad ass on her own. She doesn't need any help. I'm just saying, by ten am, yeah, man, JJ to come in here and beat Danny's
ass. I don't think she'd beat my ass over this. I think she might even agree with him if there's any Today's not the day, Yeah, dude, not today for Baybay Slander. She's got Beyonce, Cowboy Carter, cupcakes's sitting right there, and you're gonna y's on the way. What cookies? You're gonna like take a net loss for working this week? She really are? I told I woke up and say I'm gonna be extra today.
I love it. I can tell you're happy. I can tell you by their tiny gold hat you have on your head in the bandana Cowboy Carter, Huh. One of my my favorite days. I still look forward to. It is one one of my favorite artists is dropping an album and you've been anticipating and anticipating, and if you're like me, you illegally downloaded it six weeks ago and then it dropped, and then you're just a little let down. Yeah, but it's still a beautiful day. Boy. That was the
way of the napster world. I never did the Napster were you? Did you try? Or yeah you had? You were too young for that now Morpheus Khazah LimeWire and then Napster was first. But how old were you because that was only ninety nine, two thousand and two thousand and one, right, I would say the age is eleven to eighteen. It was illegally using
you torrent, going on demonoids like Pirate Bay. No matter what happened, you know what, No matter what, a band would announce a release date, some engineer or producer or somebody would leak it and it would be available on you know, one of those yeah all sharing sites, and you would download it and sometimes it would take like an hour to get one song, and you'd set that thing to go in the morning and come back home and you'd have a full album ready to go. And that's the thing. It
kind of sucked because you have this really bad quality version of it. You'd burn it to a CD and you'd listen to it, and then the album actually drops and you're like, oh cool, Yeah, everybody's writing about it, and you already yeah, you're kind of already worn it out listening to a really subpar version of it. Did you actually have nap Napster what were they the trendsetter on all that. Yeah, then you had the copycats.
The Napster just got so corrupted with false files that you would say, oh, the new Oasis is out and you downloaded and it wouldn't even be that it'd be some virus or something. But I think it was LimeWire that was the one that I probably ended up using. Mostly. I used Morpheus first. Then it would the Morpho's never got too big, kazah. And then once I learned the world of Torrance and VPN, which was a college staple because they would shut you down at the U n T. They're a firewall,
came get you. But Demonoid account just ripping out all kinds of I mean, TV shows, movies. The running joke for years was the Invictus situation. Yeah, at our previous you know, someone had allegedly downloaded the movie Invictus, and that is a funny that that's the movie that was downloaded.
But I was sitting there going, I hope I don't get caught with one of these, because I absolutely statue of I'm touching up right, I don't know, absolutely illegally downloaded millions of terabytes inside the halls of my employer. Yeah, but you now continue to do so it's a perk. You weren't downloading full two hour and thirty minutes porn films. You were downloading little,
yeah, little little songs. What TC did was downloaded a feature film that was illegal to even be out there to begin with, and he like sucked up the entire company's bandwidth for like a day and a half. So yeah, of course it got blag. It's genius. Then we had an email basically right, Yes, they're paying him in popcorn. Yeah, they get that movie on their Wi Fi. If there's anything we can do, we can use up the company WiFi. Absolutely, it's a perk. It
is one of the benefits. Let's have a review in Victors. Seriously, is it a soccer movie? It is a soccer movie. Rug was soccer. I don't know. It may be not African rugby team maybe right, yeah, I don't know. My memory is not sharp on that. It was one of those weird football sports. Yeah, one of those weird football spots. I am told that at eight o'clock we had some whisteners that were out. The game was night and sent some audio to us or something.
We heard some something about Chuck Morgan and the announcements at the ball We have some audio. There was a couple of people that were out there and you know, you have your phones out, you're always rolling. And I collected a few of these submissions, if you will and listen to a few of them, and there's some there's some changes I feel that have that have gone on in the Rangers in game presentation. And I think people are going to
ears are going to perk up today when we play some of these. I heard they did not play the Cotton Eye Joe last night, which makes me wonder, is that whoa now gone away because of because it's a bad song. It's I'm fine with it. As we discussed, you know, we did a deep dive on the Totten Eye Joe lyrics. Apparently it didn't play last night as normally would after after God Bless America and take me out to
the ball game, is that what they play it? They still played Natural after home runs, right, and they're like yes, after the Janko bomb Ski, yeah, the Natural keep that coming, and then they play uh, I like Texas, that's their winning song. Pack Greens. I like Texas, that's all right. Think I might have learned that yesterday as I spent three FN hours reading about country music to make this quiz for you guys. Yeah, it's almost done, and I just said, I'm so pissed.
I'm so I was so sick of it because I don't know if these are hard. I don't know if an easy quizz or hard. This is what makes this fun. I think it's easy. I'm glad you did it because I found some quizzes words and I knew all the It's like the uh, the best little blank house in Texas, you know, like or the way down yonder by the blank. And I'm like, if I know this crap, it's not worthy. You know Chattahoochie, right, if you've ever
karaoke Chattahoochie, then you should know it. I haven't have. I know what did you uh huh in here? No? I did that at the Fireplace lounge one night. No? Really, what did you use a voice? Huh? Did you use a voice? I mean I just did dumb country guy wa way down under on the Chada Hoochie something something, So I need lyrics and it's good instantly when he does it? Well? What wait you down yonder? That was great? What is a hocci cucci? Morning Voice? I can, I can, Danny? What is a hooci coucci?
I don't know. Hocie COOCHI that's what that's what it gets Hotter than yeah, hotter than a houccie coucci. I know what a houcie cocci is? What? Well, you know what a hucie is? Right, I don't know. Over there. Definitely, hoochie is a whole, and a couchie is hoochie coucci. That's what Alan Jackson was saying. And then he wrote a nine to eleven song. Both things can be true. It's the duplicity of man Kevin. I guess I guess what times? The thing?
Nine o'clock? Uh, the King of Country Music Quiz at nine? Yeah, four, and we have chance three to in Creed ticks, so weird, let's doake Creed tickets at six' eight and then the winner of nine so now yeah, it's six yeah, no, it's six twenty. What do they have if anyone calls in before six twenty? Axim? Oh really no, they're right out, okay six twenty yeah, six twenty on the on the World clock when it hits six twenty boom, it's open and we'll
take toller four. Okay, and we're not evenna say it. Let's not even say it again. I'm say it again. You have to have to some patience. I'll give you the number one time, seven minutes before yes, two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one okay, seven minutes from now, agreed. Trusts me, he's not messing around, because Kevin's been very adamant about not giving away these tickets this week.
Yeah, yeah, you've been kind of mean. I'm gonna say, when it comes to these tickets, there's a there's a precedent that needs to be their standards and practices, and I thought we set that, but we basically just give them to anybody who wants. Well, I think that's the personal We need a break, okay, because I think they're too They think it's too they're on easy Street here, yeah, and guess what, no,
it's hard Street. And as the guy who has to enter in the winter information, Hard Street is the guy who has to enter in the winter information after the show, all right, when everyone else can just waltz out of here and me. I have been trying to push it onto the promo promotions department for about a month and a half and I got scolded yesterday apartment. I'm in an email chain, department. I'm in an email chain because
what'd you do? Well, I'll always give it to one of the new promo people since they busted up our office and I don't have a workspace up here anymore like at the last straws. They also just got rid of our office. Well, I mean, look, there's a it's a winding road, but we'll get there. The website to end of the information in is on my desktop office computer. Which does I tried to get on that website on my laptop, I would never get the user name or password. Well,
and you're also not in the network, which those computers were. I'm also a host and I've been told to stay in my lane. So I am in an email chain yesterday, and I'm like, I think some of the winners weren't getting I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. And I'm like, so I got to go back to entering in the info. Let's just put it that way and there's gonna be an email sent out about it, and I'm banging my head against the wall because I'm like
Jesus H. Christ and a chicken basket. I don't I just don't understand. Well, it's not I'm sorry, I don't know why this doesn't need to be aired out. No, No, it's our work, dirty laundry that nobody cares about that. No, they don't want to take calls and find out what some dude's issue is with his boss. I'm not even mad at the construction site. I just if people want to told a bit about your boss. And we got told it was a two week thing. I
don't know. It's week six. I want my stuff back. Well, we were also supposed to have cameras in here a year and a half ago. Let me tell you something. The construction that's going on in this building. They're going to get that damn Maryland Bridge rebuilt before this gets fitshed. They are have you guys once gone into the bathroom. And there has not been a line full of construction workers for this every time, all of them. Okay, if I was a construction worker, you know much time I
spent in the bathroom. They have no, I'm trying to rush to get back from break. I thought this day, dude, I thought this yesterday, was rushing back to try to beat a break. Right, m m okay, whiz washhands quick. We have one sink that functions. And I was behind two construction workers who were not in any hurry to get back out on the floor and get this job done. Well drug, Still, it's quite the opposite, right They want the job to take as long as possible.
Yeah, totally, because they're like, all right, we got this figured out. There's a bathroom right there. We're good. The longer we can make this work the better. The other thing I thought, because you ever get on the roads right and you're behind somebody. They're going slow, and you're like, what go? Everyone go? There are so many people, thousands of vehicles. That's their only time of peace is when they're in
transit. All they want to do is drive slowly because if I get back to the office, I'm gonna have this dude make sending me somewhere else or making me do something, or I have to clock out. But no one could really argue with if I'm in my car, hey, I got some traffic, man, It just took a long time for me to get back. We were corner cutters, so they're going real slow on purpose, just like when I used to deliver pizzas and you drive right up in front of
the house. But Randy Galloway wasn't done making his salient Rangers Sports point. I'm a little loop around the block. Let him finish his finish his thought before the pizza delivery. You bet your ass. Why not after? Because does I miss out? But the people get their hot pizza? Oh yeah, we don't care to. I was eighteen five. You think I cared about anything? Hi? Do you think I'm like, this family really needs
this pizza. They really need their hot pizza. No, I need to hear what the lineup's gonna be for tonight because this thing is in flux right now. Tell me Galloway in nineteen eighty seven eight Tom gonna make a trade to save this thing. Galloway's going ham Okay, he's got hard on Parole. Okay, okay, he went hard on Perot and George W. Bush Open lines, open fire. No, it was it free sports tall that's right, and he was steel all this. We should open lines, open
fire and went free free sports talk. What he say he was the best. Yeah, he was really really good. He got it fair and biased. Okay. He had two jobs, did the radio show, but also he had a hot column in the Telegram every day and it was always spicy. And this was years before the ticket, like five six, seven years. I was listening to Galloway and the press box at Rangers games. He would just chew on a cigar, just have it his mouth. He's old
school man's crazy, old school awesome. Someone says COOCHI is a dance Oh yeah, definition were playing hooker beave right right right, you guys know me, guys, I saw a big time celebrity out and out last night. I had Tom Kim two days ago, and you had a celebrity yesterday. Oh, hang on, before you get celebrity today. We're gond Are you aware of what he did last night? Ke Kevo had drinks? Well, you went to a nice dinner, didn't you your first? Your first nice
meal? And how was Applebee's. It's not Applebee's. It was not close to Applebee's. To Nick and Sam's for for charity? How for charity? If he was he was actually the charity going to the restaurant that money. I don't know how it works. So every year me and Ben and Skin and Travis Frederick do a charity dinner. Travis will be on with the Ben and Skin show at the water Burger in the Colony today all day he's doing

So Travis like, I'll fly back down whenever else what he did, He's awesome dude, growing his hair out. He's beautiful. It looks like a cave man. Looked like he escaped a Turkish prison. Have to fly back down because some other guy screwed his schedule up. So well, it was it was all uh, it was all very Uh. You could see
how it could have happened. Uh, and it was all cool. No, it's not a big deal. Huh. Well, the guy that just got his dates mixed up was a busy fella who had to work at the game last night. So but you had drinks, that's the most uh, I guess I'll say it. It was Brandon Hurtado was the one who bid the most at the charity action for him and three others. But he had they you know, he's had working the game. I was not busy, and the dates moved a couple of times, you know, for Travis's flight
plans and things. But in the private room, it was not us. In the private room was one Dirkin of its. Wait, I thought Travis Fredericks was a celebrity.

And then they start going, oh no, restaurant. Yeah, and the whole place starts applodding. Okay, he just kind of No one stopped and asked for a picture. No one asked for an autograph. He just waved. It was actually like, I was very nervous that I don't like the bothering people.
