Transcript

Does that sound okay? Testing? G three? How do you sound? The music sounds loud? You sound low? I sound very low. Now it sounds high. Now sound good. I wouldn't say you sound good. That sound great. Like the audio quality of your microphone and the volume of your voice sounds adequate. Maggie made me match my eminem tip of the tonge and teeth and lips. But you say live? Can we take the music

down? JJ? So we can test live on the air, live local laughs, play pipe down the music all the way, all the way to zero. Hey, hey, ladies, good, Yeah, I feel great. Do you think there's any lady in the Metroplex who's a fan of this show that when you announced your engagement just slump shouldered and dozens window closed they thought they could. I don't know if we have dozens of of ladies who listened regularly and much less. We'll let the lady weigh in on that.

JJ wereth are dozens of women who were heartbroken, Uh, my engagement heartbroken? I got so many dms saying what the hell? He was like, what do you mean? You got dms? Because they were like about Kevin's engagement and that the women are heartbroken. Yeah, they're like, we didn't see this coming. Yeah, right now, dear JJ. Wait they started to deal with deer jjon what did yes, dear JJ, like a handwritten letter. Yeah, you're close with Kevin Turner. Tell me what does he

smell? Like? Why are your eyes closed right now? Why is your phone in your backpack behind you? Answer that? Tell me? Is it serious? I'm in roxy And I was like, I mean, yeah, they're engaged. He's a serious guy. You are a serious man. So yeah, he broke some hearts up there. Well, look, I'm sorry, ladies. It's been is it two weeks? Yeah? Two weeks? Just been two weeks. Get over it. Get over it. Find a new throb like one Danny the Boner Bayless who's not with us this week?

Yeah, Boner's sitting right there, I mean not today, but usually he is. But it's a different strokes for different folks. Someone who might, you know, be in love with the Kevin Turner type wouldn't necessarily be attracted to it Danny Bale's type, because of the age gap, not the build. Everything about you too is very devid. I think we have got a lot of similarities. We're both classically trained musicians. I don't think either of

you are classically trained musicians. The build is different. Well, I guarantee you I like you turn point seven Army, seven Nation Army or anything off ants marching. I was saying a Dave this morning, when we'll talk about well, I don't it's it's probably not even all that I like that. Yesterday I was listening to Speakeasy. By the way, it's a Thursday. Let's push some P today, absolutely, and not just you and me, not just the two of us in this room, not just JJ, everyone

who's ever hearing this. Push the P. Push the P today, and it is at least we can reset. That's smell the weekend. That means we're pushing positivity all day long, sun up to sundown. Yeah, and guess what I often a couple of times I've given you the secret to life. I mean, what do you think you're getting here for free? I said, it's looking forward to stuff, you know. It's planning the things that you look forward to, whether it be getting off work today or your

retirement, you know, whatever, and no game tonight. That's part of the secret of life is looking forward to. So the other thing is yank. It's just a singer, but it's pushing P. It's positivity, and you emit positivity, and then there'll be concentric circles of it that surround you. And what will that do? Much like a light on a porch attracts

the mosquitoes, you will attract positivity. But if you're winging all the time and you're bitching and this sucks, and the negativity, that's gonna draw those negative people and then you're gonna be surrounded by and then it compounds itself and both you and them then are more negative, and then you start wondering why anything could happen to me. No, no positivity, push, push the P, and then the P will surround you. Don't push the D the

downer juice. That's what they're calling it. No JJ, you're on the internet. Is anybody calling it? No, pull the D, call it pull the downer juice. Don't pull the push the P. P. I don't think so, not that one. I think it's sticking. Push the P. Yeah, don't pull the D. That's been getting around. It was in your list of terms of the year, right, let's get shirts made my personal list of terms. Yes, push the pet Tricks made okay.

So yesterday I was listening to the Speakeasy and Kavanaugh was out, but TC the tiltne Turtle was in for Jeff and they were I was missing that, and then I didn't see TC his tweet that he was in, and I, I mean, like I always do, was immediately turn on the iHeartRadio app, which is free, and I was excited. I like, when TC's near a microphone, I'm entertained. I heard the most half ass

endorsement of a music artist as he was. They were doing their Spotify and rap thing a little bit like everyone in radio is gonna do, right, and he pulled up his and his top five artists because Julie wanted to know. Julie did hers first, and then his number two was Dave Matthews band. TC's yeah, right, And then he explained, I'm not like a big fan or anything, but I did go to you know, it was

concert in May. It's real nice to put on, you know, when I'm ubering, you know, just to put it on, like a twenty minute song lightly playing in the background. And I'm like, that's the most dismissive thing. It's it's not at all, it's not at all encompass what that band is. It's just really not insignificant music, background music. I was like, it's your number two. I'm like why, Like I was saying, no, I just I loved it. He even said made a

joke. He made me laugh because I've been there before. He goes, oh, no, I would never like tell people that's my second one like it. It'd be like, I would never think that would be my second one. There's no way it could ever be the second most artist that I listened to. Yet it is. Yeah, it factually is. It's crazy to me. So that's just good, neutral, pleasant for him. Music for a low volume in a vehicle. Yeah, I can see that. You go in space to space. I do get. I think that's a

compliment. They do have very very few. I mean, if you're listening to Date Manthe, You're you're probably listening to live stuff. You're probably not listening to studio stuff. Much like Fish. If you give me just this much like a good running back my instincts. If given a small crease, I'm gone, I plow through. And you brought up the Bandfish now dancing in the end zone like a hippie yeap only because I woke up this morning

to the news that this is happening sometimes. And you know, I'm obsessed with the sphere. Yes, and there's been whispers about fish at the sphere. Yeah. Apparently last night, in the middle of the night they the sphere sometimes will test upcoming sphere content and sometimes it'll ruin teasers or whatever, spoilers. And apparently last night they flashed up fish and dates of April I think eighteenth through twenty fifth, five days, seven days, something like that.

Oh, of fish at the Sphere in Las Vegas. I bet it's happening then. Yeah, I've heard it whispered for a long time. I think it's yeah, and they showed it now owned by MSG. Fish does New Year's Eve at MSG every year, right, Madison Square Garden, Madison Square Garden. Yeah, So that all makes did one person the light bulb go off of them clarify msg'd to Mason Square Garden. I didn't know, No, I know, and then I'll go, whoa, But here's my

little instant problem. And he's not even awake right now. I've promised brother cash for his fiftieth birthday July fourth, I gave him a card and said, dude, it's happening. We're going to the Masters, and that I'm pretty sure is April eight through twelve. It is. It's the Yeah, and now Fish in Vegas at the Sphere is April whatever, the following weekend. So what am I going to do? Take them to both probably and

bringing it all full circle tomorrow. Brother Cash leaves destination Las Vegas. He's going to U two at the Sphere Saturday night. So we will finally get boots on the ground. Yeah, boots in the sphere. I know what's happening. Yeah, we'll get to know what it looks like in there at the damn Sphere. Yeah. Right. There's a big Beyonce rumor at the Sphere too, is there? Yeah? Or what there was? There's been a lot of rumors. If you're a if you're a prominent artist, you've

been rumored for the most part. Although I haven't seen any Taylor rumors at the Sphere. I've seen Harry Styles rumors, and Harry's got a good connection at MSG. I've seen Elton John rumors. What's the capacity that I've seen Beyonce rumors? I don't know what the capacity is the other was the other band eighteen six hundred not the stones Man, so that they get more people in there than the AC. Yeah, by a little bit, right,

it's pretty close. What's the Americanion Center? I thought like seventeen k twenty k's I was best probably rounding yet though, so yes, sphere is twenty k max withthstanding Yeah, what is it? American Helon Center says twenty thousand. I'm googing eighteen to five for hockey, I round up to twenty. I mean that's fifteen hundred souls. You're just rounding up twenty one k for standing room concerts? Oh for concerts? Okay, yeah, I guess those

thinking soops. Yeah, anyway, a lot of stuff there. Also, tonight's the world premiere release. Well, by the way, there's actually a couple things. We'll tell you about. One thing first, if you want hot chocolate today, the Candy Cane Lane food truck's gonna be here at the iHeartRadio building in Addison fourteen oh one Dallas Parkway, Okay, Addison Farmer's Branch,

Dallas rougha tollway in Alpha. Candy Cane Lane is coming out on Amazon Prime tomorrow Friday, December first, and they're gonna have from eight thirty to ten am this morning a hot chocolate truck. You can come get some. I'm gonna go down to one of the breaks. I was thinking maybe when Christina comes in, maybe couture. Christina could call in, go to the truck and call in from down at the truck and give us the flavors. Yeah, read the menu to us, yes, and then she could bring

them up to us like a woman kidding. I've been watching too much John Hamm on Fargo season five, where his wife, before she lays with him every night, goes, what do you want tonight, daddy? And then she gets through. She opens up a trunk and starts walking through a couple of different characters. Do you want to be to outfits? Role playing? Yeah? Yeah? Do you guys like RP? You and your girl role playing? Yeahs r P, RP. You don't have to answer that,

Hot Latina, I was trying to get you. Yeah, That's what I'm gonna go with, Hot Latina. You know, I don't know. Tonight is the debut or the world premiere, not the world premiere, sorry, world premiere. It's the release date of the Renaissance Tour movie starring Beyonce, It Happy Renaissance. Hey, guys, she's hit one hundred buzzers in a row and she hasn't hit the applause and in three days, and then that's what did it. You haven't toil a good joke yet to say I've been

liked. Get one of those. I just hear buzzers and booze with everything I say, tomatoes smashing against the building. You mention the queen and there she she finds the push and pee page Renaissance. Guys, So you are going absolutely tonight and this is is this national opening night? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I think the US, maybe a couple of other countries, but I know, like I think Brazil is going to be a couple of weeks you know later And yeah, eight o'clock showing where at

AMC and Arlington Adobe Theater. Yes, I want to see it on the best screen possible. I know it's gonna be great, fit laid out. I'm getting a shirt made customer. So yeah, and I have a quote that I put im put on it from the you that she says. So if you give me the quote, I bet I can tell you who said it? Shut up? What's the quote? What is the quote? Do you want me to tell music down? Don't make it a surprise. No, okay, I'll tell you the ques in the trailer, the latest trailer.

She goes, I have nothing to prove to anyone at this point. Oh I saw that, So I saw that. I had to throw that on the shirt man, And she says, and that's the level I want to be at. Yeah, in life. Well you know also what people do, well, they've got nothing else to prove to anyone. They just run their kids out there. That's what you point at them and say, that's why like this, that's why I never made it. People always live to do one thing, and that's to probably just throw their kids out there.

Just chuck the kids in front of you. Yep. So it's it's cute if they're two and a half. At some point you're like, eh, I don't know. Yeah, she's in competition with herself now, man, I mean she's been like okay for years, you're still in competition with someone else with herself. She betters, Okay, well, she tries to want up herself. That's literally what she does. I think that's it that's

her only at this point in her career. Yes, yes, you know, it is interesting and it's a very much a cultural thing, how whether or not, because look, I don't like Taylor Swift anymore than I like Beyonce. I like them both, I admire them both. I think they're both cool as hell, but I don't care. I don't neither of them appear on my Spotify the same boat. I respect them both, They're cool,

good. But if I didn't, honestly, if I didn't have JJ in my life, I would think it is like a ten to one ratio of interest toward Taylor Swift over beyond because you're so wide, I know, And that's exactly my point, yep. Now, yeah, that and I find that very interesting, you know, like if we didn't say it and she didn't check us on some statistical facts including what was it money or what

what? What did Beyonce more money made on this tour? Or yeah, this is one of the biggest selling She's in the top ten of the biggest selling tour of all time. And but so's Taylor, right, No, there was the only Yeah, there's some status and she is so the number one tour. I think it was Elton John and he had like almost one hundred more shows than she did. And he she was like at number four or five, and he has the number one. Like that, he sits

at a piano he can play every night. Yeah, he didn't have to stretch. He just tilt the right, looks at the crowd, and then looks back. And I will say, You're not the only one. I've come across a lot of people, a lot of friends, and I'm just like I understand, Like I get that, like she's not for everybody, and I get that people think she's overrated. And it's because everyone because a lot of people love her and a lot of people like hate on her.

And I tell people all the time, I was like, no one works like this woman does. And I tell people to go watch Homecoming on Netflix, and that will tell you why she is literally the standard for an artist. I actually think white people were at that or not not at that level, but near that level with Beyonce that they are with Taylor now. Ten years ago, Like when Beyonce had was a halftime show at the Super Bowl, I hey, white people were were all over Beyonce. And then I

think, you know, you get a little older. Things change, time passes, you're not touring every single year, not putting out new stuff every single year, and this like new Flavor came and then white people have been fucking to Taylor lately because this Taylor explosion. Taylor's been big for a long time. This Taylor explosion is very recent. I think, I agree, but I don't have how Taylor was putting out albums that she co wrote.

Okay from the National, No, the Snoozer record. She's at ten years of being sure, but I agree it seems to have peaked this year. Is it twenty years you know? So always Beyonce peaking right now? Or no, she's just on agay there forever. Yeah, Queen in the Castle. Yeah, she's been around for thirty years. I don't think people realize that she's been around for over for almost thirty years. Yeah, damn, and still at the top. There'll be more sane, it really is.

I might be wrong more I don't. I guess, not even girls, but white people at Beyonce's Renaissance tour or more black people at Taylor's thing. Beyonce is very like multiculture, like she I mean in this album, like proved I mean this album was really for you know, the LGBTQ community for sure. A lot of white people were at her show. I was sitting literally in the section for like a lot of white people. It's it's it's it's eight thirty. The shows started eight, Like, come on. I

was like, I was like, wait for it. It's gonna be greatness. Okay, so just sit here and just just be prepared. Yeah, there's a lot of you. Yeah, you, it's a lot. Did you hear right when, right when Beyonce said, and everybody's on mute, you just hear the white girl say, do you want to leave early and beat the traffic? No, no one's doing that. You don't want to because you didn't want to miss a lick of her show. I'm interested in the con trusted this because I did go to the I will go to the

Beyonce one. I probably give me two weeks probably, and the same thing, the same thing for Taylor. I went in two weeks. That's fair. I me and Rox wouldn't watch that during the day of a day, and Taylor's is full concert and that's it, and that's not beyond three hours. Beyonce is gonna take you behind the scenes. Yeah, talking about decisions and all that. It's a dot concert. It's gonna be parts of a

lot of documenting, a lot of behind the scenes. There's already been stuff like, you know, because she had a premiere in l A on Sunday, So there's already been some stuff you know, out and said that was in the premiere or in the movie that that she talks about this woman is can I broche hot racial topic? I love these, especially during the six am yeah, nice and early the race hour. It is the race hour, I liked. I prefer calling it the Harmony hour. Okay, yeah,

okay, the hour of harmony. We're pushing h on the kids. What's up? Well, I think there's a is there a hesitance and is it intentional of a black community not to maybe support white artists at the same level. Dude, White people love certainly black artists or actors, actresses, any entertainer. It is wild. I mean, it's maybe even more.

But I don't know of many white artists take musicians for instances. The black community is way into behind, supportive and attending most of what they do, and I feel like there's an odd discrepancy there and then you could get into a far larger argument, which is probably the answer. I'm trying to think of an artist. I mean, it really just comes down to I mean, I guess this. We're using Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Go see Taylor

Swifting concert and then go see Beyonce concert. It's just not I promised you was Beyonce. Yeah, like, because Beyonce is literally like the one of the greatest entertainers. So I don't I'm trying to think of artists, like white artists that black folks would probably ride with. And Dave Matthews. Yeah, read the one article that maybe I saw that guy what the author? No, that's how I knew it was probably the audio. The guy was

wearing the chain and the full Dave Matthews shirt. I saw him justin Timberlake, Okay a few years ago at one point justin Timberlake probably had a pretty decent but still if you go to a pack justin Timberlake show where you're still looking, still gonna see white at least white audience. Yeah, it's a bunch of white moms. I mean, because I didn't get to go to the to the what was it the experience, justin experience that she he did

a few years ago. I actually needed to go to that, but I guarantee you that I was probably very Oh it was white fever, was it? Yeah? I figure, yeah, you know, you know, white people love because he's awesome childish Gambino. Okay, I love childish Gambino, me too. But it's even like, take a band like Ron the Jewels, who I love, and that's Killer Mike, who's like a massive leader in the black community. There's some their audience it's ninety plus percent white because

the other the crosshapper is white. Some form of crossover, which sounds weird to say, but like there is a crossover that I don't know because I was like when I was a childish Gambina, I'm into two childish Gambino shows. And then you're looking around, going, I can't believe how many white people are here. Right when Beyonce and jay Z we're here together on their on the front tour, literally a group of like white guys in front of me wrapped every lyric. Okay, that's jay Z, right. I was

like, Oh, that's the point. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I can't go to a fish show and have you know, yeah, a brother dancing. I think it's just torture. It's just different performers different. We want to see a performance that's imply white people aren't providing great performances. That's yeah, I think Taylor. I didn't say that, that is false. I didn't say that Taylor is a performance. Like I walked away up watching the movie. I didn't go to her show or anything, but watching

the movie, I was like, I'm impressed by what she did. She actually did more than I thought she did. I thought she just kind of stood there, she walks around. I just think it's interesting. It is interesting. I mean, I want to support each other. Tell you what I said, is you want? But I mean the biggest artists for black artists and one of the biggest white artists right now literally go to bother show and yeah, but that's your answer. But that's your preference as to what

defines a performance. And and a Taylor fan might say, I don't know. Maybe it's her lyrics that that do it, or the beauty of her songs. I don't know, And maybe the actual performance or production is better at Beyonce. I mean, that's all what you're looking for in a show. That's all right, that's a preference. You can't say it's just a better performance because that's your opinion. I think somebody like you who just don't

care either or that's good answer. That's that's that's what I'm saying. That's also a lot of people who've answered that that's fair. Oh, it's like, what's the median age of someone attending a Beyonce's show compared to someone attending a Taylor show? Yeah, because she definitely made music for grown folks, because well, Beyonce is also Beyonce is fifteen years older than Taylor. I mean, this is a you know what is beyond that's a long time.

No, she's forty one and Taylor there's later damn Taylor thirty thirty five, thirty four or something of that. But she makes like that, But she makes like teeny bober music a little bit in a way, so she still has those young little while you know, like I said, Beyonce is growing in sexy music, and she still has little kids and little girls who love her. But her like she's forty, she's not making she making grown woman music, you know what I mean? So yeah. I just think it's

a true conversation. Appreciate having black people love Chris Stapleton. Okay, is he the one that because he got a little soul to his voice? On't he? I mean yeah, some say soul, I say sounds like a wildcat. But because he did that national anthem that was one of the NFL games, everybody was like, oh yeah, he rocked out with Stevie Wonder at the Grammys a while back. I think he's universally low too. Stevie, Oh, Stevie Wonner, absolutely absolutely. Okay. A lot of text

reaction to this. This is a text. I don't know who this is, but they say until Taylor or Beyonce play at WRESTLEMANI they haven't done sh my god, that could be anyone. Well, as you said, a lot of text reaction the last time I read says boring. So really, is that the one guy who does that? Every one word boring? Uh? Actually yeah yeah, every boring every day is not? Yeah, yeah, whatever, it's substance man for the eight one seven, Love you bro,

thanks for listening, Thanks for joining the six Am Club. They return music all day if you want to. You know what, let's go, he'll stuff. I never heard Big Show Picture with Glenn's At nine, We're gonna tell you what's gonna happen in Cowboy Seahawks. At eight, I'm gonna tell you what the Golden Bachelor is not who you thought he was a special edition of Teardown Turner. At seven thirty, I'm gonna do it. I have to.
