All right, come on, come on, let's go, Come on, come on, come on money, yes, stream go on every Friday morning, Metro Blake, Let's do it to the downbeat. We'd get two pairs of Green Day tickets to give you at nine o'clock. We also need your health at six thirty. We need it so much. Get to that our own. JJ Jackson went to a big press conference today. It's Madi after
that at eight thirty. She looks lovely every day, but yesterday you could tell she had a little little glimmer in her eye, a little extra makeup or on the e and a little nicer shirt and normal. We tried to explain to her that Jeremy Allen White had spoken for k KT has already locked him down. We have one date night with one member of that cast. It's tough because I did run it. I met all three of them, and they're all super sweet. Man. That's hard. They're super like,
oh yeah. I chatted with them, all three of them for second, but they were in on mode. They could or they could just be genuine. I think they're literally genuinely nice guys, all three of them. Harris Dickerson, Jeremy Allen white and Zach airfront. Zac looked really good yesterday. He you know the other two they show you know, they're so kind of you're we were talking about it yesterday, how they're just kind of like Jeremy Allen, why they're just kind of like, you know, basic everyday guys.
That's literally how they showed up to the Press Commons dress. They were just you know, some pants, some Stan Smiths on and a sweater and then Zach walks in. He's just staffer, you know, got a nice shirt on, has some nice pants. Looked real good. But he's got that thing, guys, I can't I don't know, he's got that physical thing you know. Yeah, he had it when he was twelve. Yeah, there's it's and a lot of it has to do with the eyes.
He's got really striking eyes, like you Mikey and know those people that you could be man or a woman. When you're at a public place and somebody of exceptional physical, unique beauty or attractiveness walks into the room and everybody just kind of goes, oh, yeah, you know he's got that thing. Yeah, but is that It was definitely because I was just like, oh yeah, when he walked in. If you're just having a piet Andrew's American, that dude walks in, Yeah, and he is not him, he's
just that human heads don't whip man. It's just like ninety day. Because if if Tomy, Allen White and Harris Dickinson and walked into Andrew's American Pizza, no, one would probably turn their heads. They probably wouldn't even think like, oh my god, that's the guy from the Bear Like. I don't think they would really, you know, click. But then if zach Efron would walk in, No, I'm saying if zach Efron was worked at an auto parts store down the road, Society, he would he would probably
end up getting a modeling job because of social media. Yeah, he would be a zaddie. I don't know, is that good luck? But he had show this picture that just saw super fit and if he had the right well fitting clothes, yeah, he'd command Katie is excited to picture of him unning over there with his computer. He moved faster than any girl. I thought he was going to slip a banana peal and break his dip crap his pants. He was doing the thinker in that picture. Yeah, he was
doing Yeah, and I thought I took what Harrison. He definitely was showing me up a little bit. I was like, Okay, Harris, Harris Dickinson, I see zach Effron's five to eight. Yeah, he's pretty short, and Jeremy always five to seven. Yeah. I mean just that alone, you have to acknowledge as far as being a regular person walking in a room doesn't scream and jump off the page, you know. I mean height
matters for that. If you're a normal person, Okay, If if zach Effron's not that person, then in your mind, who is John Cena? John Cena? To if John Cena walks into any room in the world, no matter if he's how many title straps he has, well, that's just my muscle guy. Is he muscle Yes, muscle guy is always going to demand some extra looks. He's way more than muscle guy. He's a muscle guy. Women under forty have been lusting after zach Efron for twenty years.
I don't understand that where legally at times. Yeah, but I would say he was not cute. Like coming up, Christina said the same thing, that he was not cute. But I would I would say that high school girls at the time when I was growing up thought he was Yeah, he's my age too, so that high school musical crap was going on. Isn't he your exact age? I think he was one of the exact minute you will. I think the same time I was past the who high school musical
era. I mean, I wasn't about that, and then he popped up in a movie and I was like, I know that's not the same kid from highscue musical goodness? Did he dated Vanessa Hudgens for like six years and she's hot, like beautiful. Let me tell you this, Let me give the other side of it. Get look at her, blush at me. But Danny Bale is a handsome man, right Yeah. If Danny Baylett what very goh crazy, we didn't need book. Somebody's got my back. Sify
your comment. But if he grew up as a teen heart throb or whatever, or he was in movies that didn't walk into every building, and yes he would be one of America's biggest heart throbs. But right now, you walk into a restaurant or bar and people throw me out. No, no, they just based on the smell alone. They just take a bad get out of here. You're homeless, hippie. They just it's just nothing. Yeah, you know, it's always nothing. But I think the fact that
I'm one hundred and four years old doesn't help either. No, you're six ' four, so I think there's sometimes a head whip. Oh my god, that guy's good looking. Well, you're six four to two, dude, or six three in a quarter? Are a bunch of giants? My god, I don't know you behind you guys in a concert? Geez, you're very conscious of the person behind me. To concert, I spread my
legs and I try to get lower every time. You know, who else is another one of those dudes that I think would be a head turner and maybe not conventionally attractive. I think zach Efron is pretty traditionally just a handsome, striking dude killie and Murphy has a unique quality to him that if you saw him as a civilian, but you know, dressed nicely and in fitted clothes, if he walked into a room and you saw those eyes, you'd be like, WHOA, what's going on with that? Yeah? Interesting looking?
Same way the guy from Franz Ferdinand has it. But again, you guys are still picturing famous people who we know is famous. I'm still it's really hard to be five to seven walk into a room and the whole room drops and whips their heads when you are you've never been in anything or done anything. I think that's difficult to do, to just be. And I
don't think either of those guys are so good looking. I think they're good looking because after seeing them for so long, you like them, you know they're talented that you, you know, assign them the stardom in your head. I I definitely think Zach Caffron as you're more see you what you're saying is right, Jeremy and White looks like a kicker. Yeah, no, you're right, a kicker he does. Jared Leto has the same quality.
Okay, he's getting crazy gorgeous, Yes, go crazy. I'm just saying that all those guys, and it also comes back to the eyes, and I think that's uh. Those are three the qualities that those three dudes that I mentioned Zach Effron yea and personality. I'm telling you guys, they were like the nicest guy. And we can sit here and say, yeah,
they were. It's his business. You know, they gotta be social and but you can generally feel oh, thank you, oh, you know, like they're they're really grateful for you know, it really felt genuine to me because they have their sins and I've never heard anything bad about any any any of these guys. So you know as far as like interaction goes, you know, in in public. And then it was also a very intimate setting, so you know, security isn't like hostile and so you can have it
was a very intimate time. The press conference was at the Ritz Carlton downtown. Yeah, she was in a room about the size of this very very intimate I'm telling you, Like they were walking by chatting with all of us, very very three or one on ones. No, it was just the big press conference. So all of the media that was you know, invited, they were we were just all in the room, you know, the guys, the cast, Kevin Van Eric and the director Sean Dirkin. They
were sitting at the table. They had a moderator and you know, we had questions. You know, usually they'll let you stand up and ask the question and of these press conferences, but they just had us right in on a on a card and gave it to the moderator. And everyone's questions didn't get asked, but did you introduce yourself as J. J. Jackson the
on the car? On the car you had to said write your name, you're you're you know, you're out affiliated and then the question and then you know, the moderate he was just like, you know, I gotta ask this question. Is you know it's from JJ ninety said one of the freak. I was like hey, because they were like they were they were like, I gotta love the freak. I was like hey, and they all looked and I'm telling you man. And then when I was leaving, I
was you know, I was saying bye to the guy. I was like, all right, Jeremy, you have a girl. He was like, oh, you know, thanks. It was good seeing you again because I saw him at the after party. And then I looked at Harris Dix. I was like, Harris, I'll see you have a good one. He was like, all right, all right, j Bard you know his British
said that's see. Yeah, you know what the British Harris Dickinson. Yes, I did, because I watched an interview leading up to the movie the other night, so it was very it like I said, it was, you know, they seem like really genuine guys. They all came off that way, even even as big as as a star as Zach is. You know, he just gotta get really seemed like talking to everyone who came by and take pictures. You know, I got a picture. What he's super
nice guy. I know, Seth Rogen and all those dudes loved him. They did a movie together, obviously, But you know, Zach, everyone kind of has got James Franco vibes in the face now that I'm thinking, I'm singing a little bit, which a lot of people thought. James Franco was attracted a little bit of a heart throb. I remember when they were casting him on Freaks and Geeks though. I remember Paul Figue was like, yes, guys, you know, we'll look for a guy's kind of got
a big face, you know. And then all the he noticed, like all the wives, Paul fiican Uh and jud Apstow were like, this guy's not I mean, he'll fit the role, but like they were like wanting to cast him as the heart throb role in that show. Yeah, It's like all their wives are like, God, who is this kid? Who is this kid? Yeah, he didn't see his Wieder outlined in his jeans James Franco, I mean he was over eighteen at the time. I would
assume someone said, Michael makes sure rather than assume those things. Kevin, you sound like a crazy person. No one believes that height is more attractive, that it's coming from a short person. Height does not matter. Everyone, sir, You and Ben both have height complex I think are people misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's harder for someone It's just hard to walk into a room and all of us whip our heads and go, oh my god,
who's that when you're just a regular person. Yeah, and regular can you can be six to two fine, Your height almost doesn't matter. But it's easier when you stand out as like that's a feature of Oh my god, that's a striking person. If five seven Zac Efron walks in a room, he's not famous. I just don't know that everyone's going to drop their forks on their plates just because of his pure beauty. But I don't. I mean, maybe they might drop their panties. He is gorgeous. I asked
you about this after the movie the other night. We're talking about the big screening of world premiere of a Iron Claw that we all got to attend at the Texas Theater a couple nights ago. And I know that I used to be this way before. I kind of, I don't know, crossed over
into being more appreciative of what I have. But you remember you probably had to do these too, these appearances where the radio station would send you off to some cell phone company on a Saturday afternoon for two hours to stand in the corner and have nobody show up. And the owner comes over and goes, where's everybody at. Yeah, there's a promo table with like a sad sticker and a used T shirt and just talk about the promotion promotional effect of
a product. And you get a sign these things, and these guys have these itineries and and you know, oh, the premier is going to be in Dallas. You gotta fly to Dallas. It's on a Wednesday, and
you gotta stick around an extra and go to a press conference. I wonder if those dudes are just really excited and happy to be here and promote their film, or if they're looking at this going good, God, I gotta go where Dallas for three days, dude, or I don't know, I just was curious if they were beaten down by all of the promotional experiences you hear from actors they have to go to these junkets and do the talk show circuit promote their films. They say that is the biggest ass whip aspect of
being a celebrity. I think it's kind of both. I mean, I think that's the job. That is a massive part of the job, and they know they have to do it somewhere. But I think and the the the what do you call it, the thing when you disagree the thing they just got over sag Aftra, what does that called? The strike? Strike? The strike screwed this up. But I think in most cases it's weird
because they stop shooting a year and a half ago. Yeah, Like they're onto a different project and then probably another project, and then they have to come back and act like this is like the freshest thing on their mind. Where this is, you know, and they're like, that's a long time
ago, eighteen months, you know. Yeah. I've heard actors say like, yeah, it could be a you know, a dragon's You're sitting in a room ten twelve hours a day talking to this people, different people for a couple of minutes saying ask pretty much a lot of them ask the same thing, but a lot of them say when they enjoy the project and they're
passionate about promoting and pushing it, that it's not so bad. It's not, you know, because they really loved what they what they just did, and they love working with the you know, with the cast and the crew. It was a great time. It was a great experience. So yeah, marketing and promoting it isn't dreadful. Now, if there's a movie film that they didn't really care for, it was a mess on set, they know it's not going to be good. They're just like, let me just
get through this. Like I ever actors genuinely say this. I know, I love that. I love the that handful of actors that are kind of like somebody like Aubrey Plaza that will just do a cash grab for a film and show up on Conan and go, yes, film sucks, don't. Yeah, there's a few. There's a few instances. Sometimes you can tell in the in the in the junkets, in the court. You know, you're seeing different videos of interviews. You're like, I don't think they I
don't think they care too much of this project. You can like like the fire and the passion behind what they're talking about. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, I know it can be a beating for them. I can I ask you guys a question about food? Yeah? Please. By the way, we'll have some adia from that press conference at eight thirty. I don't really know how to do this. I'm gonna read something that's based off of a sheet that I received, because you guys, I consider you guys to
be somewhat foodies. Thank you. You guys can work your way around a kitchen absolutely. Okay, So I'm fully equipped kitchen, kitchen with a stove and a dishwasher. Though, yeah, yeah, I'm taken part in something tomorrow, the Chili throw Down for the Crown, the eighth Anniel Chilanthropy or the Chili cook off of He's making a lot of this up. I'm reading world, this thing that I'm involved in, what's the actual name of it? Do you know? Promote these this fine? The eighth Annuel Chilanthropy,
Chilanthropy benefiting the Dream Fund, so keeping dreams in motion. But okay, eighteen dead after an avalanche in Colorado. So I don't know what's happening. But I know that I am a judge, okay, of a big chili thing tomorrow morning. And this is for the Crown. Yeah, that's Netflix is the Crown. I don't know who's in charge of this. I really don't. And this is in the morning. Oh, I would have to be a toll eleven. Okay, lunch of chili, yeah, lunch chili
Okay. Now, they have some rules here that are very good for me because I am a big believer in no beans in chili unless you want to. But I don't just force it on me. I think you should have the option. Do you ever pick the beans out of your chili? I've never had chili with beans in it. How do you know you don't like that beans? Never tried it? You don't like beans? How do you not like beans? Everyone loves beans? Why do you think there was a
million cans still here? You don't think they've been here for over two years. There's just been a bunch of cans of beans from Dude Perfect. You would have not enjoyed the famous segment Bayless Bean Bingo did enjoy. That segment was actually one of the days when that was actually one of the days driving around wrong when I think this station's gonna make it. That was one of the first days, I think. And then we were moved out because of
rats. The intro jam for Bayless bean Bingo, because he claimed he could decipher every bean on Earth or something. One mistake I made, one fatal error, got one mixed up, and that the whole house of cards crumbles. Honey. Uh, there was honey, there was some type of uh. There was a Carolina hot, there was a doctor pepper flavored one. And these were all how he paid Kavanaugh to come up and work at the Eagle for a while after he quit the Fan. We're paying him in beans.
A very odd time in the world. Before we get to your yea, that's good, here's a song about beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, long version beans, the full cut beans. That's how peaceful piece has beans beans, beans, beans, beans, beans. Everyone, what are the lyrics? Should have that lyrics sheet alight? Start the kids. The song of falls. It oddly doesn't evolve. It doesn't always feel like it's evolving, but it is. Yeah, you just have
to listen closely. You could hear this in the clubs of Manchester in nineteen eighty and I think you're listening to a slapping jam that's so ridiculous. It's amazing, all right, so you gotta eat them. When the kids come in and start saying, you gotta eat some chili tomorrow, fantastic? What you what's your cot under them? A couple of rules, Uh, I get there at eleven judges choose the best theme. I don't know what that means. I know last year, our friend Donovan was one of the judges
of this thing. Yeah, so I'm the representative this year for radio. I guess we stole the being account from Cumulus. I don't think it has anything to do with their sales team or anything. I'm doing this because of I think I'm doing this for Rocks's work. They're like any celebrities they ask you, yeah, And I was like, I'll the guys at this dag n if they want to do it, you know. If anything, we should get Julie and Christina down there. Maybe, but me, nothing's hotter
than watching girls eat chili. And then I was like, wait, I'm I'm going to ask the group because y'all and I'm not talking to y'all too, I'm talking the whole team no one wants to do anything, okay, and I'm in the to that boat. I wouldn't say that. We went to the movie the other night. The movie we went to freaking Houston. No, we did that. Do you want to go do Judge of Chili cook Off for free? I do? I just couldn't do it. Yeah,
I can't do it prior you can't prior commitments. We had jerk Chicken together. We did ye, So don't tell me that we don't like doing things. Yeah, Ken, I'm not You're you're taking this personally. I'm talking about everyone. I'm like, I'm not even gonna worry about asking the staff to do something because you should get paid for working and this will be work. How long have to be there? What do you have to do? I think like an hour? Okay? So what did the categories you
say? Uniqueness or what did you say? I don't know your creativity? So team, okay. All chili must be prepared on the premises. That's good that people have there, right, All meat must be purchased. You can't have any game? Is that you can't? What does that means? Someone tried it on year? You can't kill your own meat and bring it, you have to buy it, buy your meat. So each cup was lovingly created on site by a local media company. Last year, I think
Channel eight had a guy who was just shredding it. I went talked to Donovan, this is your second year in a row attendant. Now it was not a judge last year, I just went and drank have any chili? So please, no smoking boo. Judge each chili on its own merit. Do not compare one chili to another. Allowed to no, no, no, allow, you can't be I think that means you can't discuss the chili with your friends and you can't show reaction either. Really. Yeah, I've
actually been a judge at the Official International Chili Cookoff Interlingual. Those are the judging instructions that they're going off of. In fact, at the bottom of their judge chart, it's a special thanks to the original Lingua International Championship. Yeah, that's the thing. That's they're real strict. So you're sitting at a big table and there are dozens and dozens of chili's and they come around in a big styrofoam like big sonic cup. Almost are they still hot?
Yeah? And you get one of those little disposable spoons that comes around and you get one bite. Oh that toss your spoon. Really you can get another bite if you need to revisit it or whatever, then you and then you grate it on its own merits how many categories? Uh? You? Actually it's a score. It's like a one out of ten. So yeah, score each chili out of scale of one to ten, one to ten,
No decimals, only whole numbers. And you can't you can't react to it, be like, mmm, you can't go, Man, this one's great. I like this one better than the one I had before. But the problem with doing it at the international that you know what this might well, no, I guess it wouldn't be because the Terlingua thing just happened. But you know, they have all of these preliminary events around the world, I guess, and if you win your hometown event or your regional event,
then you get accepted into Terlingua. I believe that's how it works. So every one of these chilis is an effing no less than a seven. They're all incredible. So I don't have media companies who are doing that. I get that. What I'm saying is when it gets to the finals. Down there, you're judging the ultimate best chilis you've ever had in your life, and they're all great. Is Terlingua considered the crown jewel of chili championships in
the world. Yeah, for sure. There's one that There was one that spun off of Terlingua that happens concurrently in same area actually right down the highway from the one that the International Chili Cookoff is, and it's called the Cassie CSI And it's a different vibe there. It's more collagey and younger, whereas the Trili was like the old guards and these things been around so it's like, I think nineteen sixty nine or something like that, so well over fifty
years. But it's a blast, man, but you'll you'll have fun. But I love that they're using the same rules and regulation system. Cleanse your palette between chili samples. Yeah that's just water or crackers. Okay, Yeah, they'll give you, you know, little things to snack on, little salty things. This says, this is where chili cannot be retasted or rescored after you have passed it on. Ooh, once you release the cup. Yeah, but if you need a second bite, you can get another one
of the little disposable spoons. If you're like, Okay, I need to hit that again, you can do that. But yeah, once it's gone, you don't get to revisit it. Your score is logged and it's locked. Any rival radio stations just know that you're a zero. If I know that your chili comes comes by. Because I don't care if I'm being I'll be the I'll be the wild ass judge. Was it the Russian judge? What was the big thing? Is the something? Yeah, it was the
Russian judge. Russian judge that was a big problem for a while. I'm going to be the Russian judge. Ice skating, cheating, scandals. Yeah, I think they should replace you with Danny. He has experience, he's been at the best, I agree, and he's sick three so he'd be more striking when he enters the Chili Festival. Let's get him in as a competitor and he can we can win one for the freak. God knows our
station could use a win. Yeah, showing up somewhere on a Saturday morning when I had my kid to prepare on site chili, dude, I'll take care of Malcolm. Okay, he said he wanted to see me just in that audio. Yeah, but he also said you were boring. Yeah it's true. Yeah, yeah he is. Do you think you could enter the chili thing tomorrow with just what you have right now and then finish on the podium top three, top three chili? I mean I need to go to
the grocery store. I think I do. Okay, I don't know if i'd win. And there's a lot of good people, dude, it's Texas. People are really good at making chili here. That's done. I've done well with mine in the past. Well, I'll let you guys know how it goes. Maybe next year we can get you in this thing and you can win the eighth annel. I'm chill answer. Probably good. You don't even need to you don't want the crown. It's a chili throw down for the crown, Danny. Well, if I'm doing it for the crown,
yeah, to honor the monarchy. Yeah, I guess I could make an exception. Yeah. Do you think the Queen or no, King Charles is going to be there for this? I hope not. I hope Prince Andrew's not there. You know. I think he's gonna be at the Holiday Inn on Harry Hines for this. He's just dipping one of his fast fingers into the chili. Do you think that Prince Charles has ever had chili? No? I don't although the world a thousand times over, but he has King
Charles. Don't say yes Charles. He'll always be my prince. Yeah, he loves not my king. He loved the chili. All right, Kevin, good luck, Thank you guys. I want to give out the number. I guess two and four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one. We actually need your assistance. We are trying to round up what our movie of the month is going to be for the Let's Freaking Chill series
next month. We've been kind of going back and forth, had a bunch of ideas and we were like, screw it, let's let the audience help us decide to text us too, Yeah, fire away, what movie would you come watch with us? Yeah? That's act nice. Have one free
