Operation Fabulous Disasters. Light sources say, great success. We made the Jarnigans John down to I forty five to Houston. We went and took it, and now we wait bake it. I don't know Weltari starts Friday. We know we're playing. We the Arizona Diamondbacks. No Randy Johnson, no Kirk Shieling, no Ethan Luis Gonzalez. We got this broke just as everyone predicted. Kevo Rangers, Diamondbacks. I would love to have we should do Diamondback
trivia today from nineteen ninety nine from two thousand and one. You would do well. I would do fine. I lived there at the time. But about this year's Diamondback Okay? Or last night? I got Oh, could Kevin, I'm sure, be honest. Yeah, could you have named one player on the Diamondbacks before last night? Yes? I knew Kettle Marte, and I knew that because I watched the ninth inning of Game four. Yeah, of Diamondbacks Phillies or whatever. How about fourteen days ago? Oh?
No, I would have thought it was just Sterling or Starling Marte, because there's another Marte. Yeah, Starling Martes. I thought he played for them for a while he was a cub and a pirate. Yeah, and I would have been like this, Adam Eaton Stuf will play for them. I do. I think Greenky spent it, spent a year there, but yeah, I would have been struggled. Might have got Corbyn Carroll only because Rookie of the Year talk and he made a bunch of yeah, made a bunch
of always this year. I also would have said, if you said Corbyn Carroll, I'll be the nationally rookie of the year guy. I don't know that. I would have been like Diamondbacks. Yeah, I do know, and I don't know how to say his name, but I do remember this because oh fart Man. Back in May, if you remember we did opening May. It was before the show switched U and y'all did y'all show at
the time when y'all were in the afternoon at Texas Live. But I remember the start of that day was a guy who had the very awkward PF beginning to his name. So I know that they've got a guy named Yes, it's it's PF double a D T. Yeah, fat PF. It's basically the way you would spell what a fart sounds like. Yeah, if it was Batman and you know when they do Bam pal somebody farted. Yeah,
that's how you would spell. You should that's how you spell. You should go home and record Malcolm and ask him to spell fart and he might do it. He a a DT. But yes, that's it. Those three Evan Longoria. You did mention him? Oh yeah, I forgot. He played for them. Homie is almost thirty eight years old too. I didn't know until I saw him in the playoff and the dugout of the playoff game, and I was like, is he a coach? No, he plays for that And I didn't feel that. I just said, Kevin, he
was about to turn thirty eight. He's born in eighty five, and we're like, what an old fart eighty five? He was born in the two thousands. So here's a lightning fast Arizona diamondbackstory. I lived there. I lived there in ninety eight when I lived in TUCSONO. That's where I was stationed in the Air Force's just kind of a cool different thing. When you graduate basic training, you know, you go to tech school it's called and
there's essentially one day where they hand you a folder. It tells you where you're going to live for four years. It's sort of like, you know, like if you're an athlete being drafted. You wake up this morning and you don't know where your life is going to take you for you know, however, many years spin the wheel man, where are you gonna live? Right? And you fill out a dream sheet and that I guess they just uh my god, yeah, they put that, yeah, under a plane
that's leaking oil. So what the field of the military you're interested in, Well, I'm really into video games and computers. Great infantry. They look at you up down infantry immediately, Well, you have a test score that determines what your job will be, and then you get to they slot you into stuff like that and you kind of you get to pick your job. So but anyways, you go to school for your job after be straight and
then they they determine where they need these jobs. This job because there's a number where this number needs to be slotted around the world, you know, like if we need a guy who does this, you know whatever, that's how they allocate help. So you fill out a dream sheet and in my dream sheet, I filled out all international places, you know, like Japan, Germany. You know, I'm like, I'm doing this. What do
I want to Where do I want to go? Sit in a big field and North Dakota, you know, like, no, I want to start start this damn adventure. So I wanted any of those, but they were only doing domestic assignments when I graduated for whatever reason. So I actually got to sign to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and I'm like, what the hell.
I don't know the thing from Florida. It's gonna be too cold. And I think right at the advent of the Internet, I think I went to the local library or the library on Base and I looked up Cheyenne, Wyoming, and I'm just like, what is this? And there's a dude with my same number. That number I just told you that assigns you your job whatever. Mine is three M three one, I think. And if you have the same number, you can swap with somebody else. Really, yeah,
because you and I would be the exact same person. We have the same number. They don't know, they don't care. You're Danny and I'm Mikey. They're just like, we need a three M three one in Cheyenne, And we had another one in Tucson. So he had Tucson and I had Cheyenne, and with very little information, decided to swap. My information was I looked it up. There's golf, the weather was warmer, there was mountains and some hiking and cool stuff. I'm like, all right,
I don't know, just sight unseen. I think Tucson looks slightly more up my alley than Cheyenne, Wyoming at the time. To Tucson maybe, well, no, Timpe is known for hot com girls, right, yes, Scottsdale, I didn't. Those are my two options. So anyway, we swapped. What made him want to do that? Did he have family up there? He was from somewhere, he was a he was a redneck. Actually, that dude I'm pretty sure was in the KKK oh, because I
have a what, I have a journal that I captain. I was in basic training and I just read it like three or four years ago and I forgot all about it, and then in my journal states I'm pretty sure this dude was in the Wow. Yeah, Like he was a real racist dude, not my friend, not my friend. So I plucked beautiful Tucson for you and shipped him up to I think, how different now your life could have turned out and you ended up in Chyenne. That's exactly right, and
you think of the forks in the road of your life. And this was like a piece of paper that we swapped. Yes, guy, friends of this day that I met in Arizona. I mean, I went to Northern Arizona University, and that's at least, you know, part of my who I am. Whatever. Anyway, I went to Tucson, Arizona. So long. Sorry, I didn't mean to go off on that long story about I lived in Arizona for almost ten years, so between Air Force and school. Yeah, and then a little bit in the workforce after you got out,
is that right? Yeah, you were in service for two or four years four yeah, damn, and then four years at college on top of that. Yeah. Wow, what'd you do with What did you do for work? Restaurants? Yeah? Yeah, a friend of mine at Tucson opened a restaurant. I was one of the I helped him build it and was one of the first servers there and bartenders. Yeah. I was in Tucson right at the end of when I was in the Air Force, and I
worked at a golf course Fantana Canyon and Tucson beautiful golf course. And then I was like, screw, I want to go to school. I'm getting some money for school. I want to go to college. And I was a resident of the state of Arizona at that point, so I had to choose between the University of Arizona Tucson, ASU, Arizona State in Scottsdale, or Northern Arizona and Flagstaff. And I knew what a student I was. I was an idiot. I dropped, I flunked out of community college.
So I'm like, I'm going to the furthest one where I don't know one person. So I drove four hours north to Flagstaff, Arizona, and signed up and went to school and knocked it out pretty easily. Was that to eliminate distractions? Yeah, I didn't know one person. I packed all my crap, drow four hours, got like a shared apartment. They have some sort of shared apartment thing that that you just get three roommates and your kid. Hello, and you were in the same place for four years. No,
No, that's just where I moved into. The first people I met was with those people who actually this apartment with And then yeah, I watched a lot of Diamondbacks games together, and we did watch a lot of Diamonbacks. So one of my friends in Tucson was another friend named Troy Different. Not escuse Troy farted on our door in Tuscany. No, this guy named Troy a huge baseball fan, and they were freaking out. Lifers in Arizona were freaking out, like we have a we're being a baseball team. This
was in nineteen ninety eight, and they were all wigging out. They're like, oh my god, what is this that you know? Their play way I played guy was Matt vest Kershen fun fact. Do you know that for a factor you just wanted to say his name. I think I wanted to say his name again because you're such a big fan. He's one of my favorites. How did you know? And Bob Brenley was there. Bob Brenley
was the manager. Hunh was their manager, and then and then color man on their anyway, and they would you go to the Bob Oh yeah, yeah, what what they're a lot. The reason I brought this all up actually had a point was my friend Troy was so excited. He was one of the first people the day you're eligible to do so it's an annual thing in Arizona to go get a vanity plate because once the Arizona team was announced and they said this is the Diamondbacks, where I was like, oh my
god, the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is a thing. We got a real team, and he wanted to be He woke up like six am to be the first person there, one of the first people there to get a vanity plate commemorating or in honor of the Arizona Diamondbacks. And he was up all night writing, you know, like codes of what's the best way you know, da whatever, like how to best write Diamondbacks. And he settled on DMN d space b X. I love it, DMN d space BX.
He was there, he's ready, turns it in whatever. Months later he gets his dmnd space BX and he's like, I got it on the first one. And everyone that saw that thing for years read it as demand Boxman, God, that's amazing, which in his twenties, it's that's kind of funny too, right right in those days, I mean demand is kind of a little harsh, but you know, demand box. And then I think he just got frustrated with people reading that, and he just let it expire
and got rid of it a couple of years later. It sounds like something like Tarzan would say when hiring a prostitute box All right, Tarzan, Yeah, to pay for it. So that's the very first interaction of any kind I had with the franchise that hadn't even thrown their first pitch, very first TV voice of the Arizona Diamondbags for the first eight years of their existence. It wasn't lightening great, Tom Brenneman, Tom Brenneman, exactly right. Did
they have the Bob had a retractable roof? Didn't it? Or does? Yes? Bank One ballpark, Yeah, but they but they did it not to keep out rain. They did it to keep out the sun and snakes. The hell and it's all the snakes, snakes and Heila, monsters and all the other terrible things in the Sonoran Desert, the evil Eden of the Sonoran Desert. I love the desert so much. The desert is there to kill you, don't you love it though? I do? Yeah, especially
at night, boy, But it is something. This summer is there your first when you first live in Tucson. I remember the first I got there at like ten at night, and so my Air Force NERD picked me up from the airport and they put me in a little base hotel. And then I remember I woke up at sunrise the next morning and saw the sun come up over these mountains and cactuses. You know, which is stereotype or cliche whatever, but it was almost gorgeous sunrise I ever saw. I'm in Florida.
Man, there's not even hills, and I remember, like, look at these mountains. This is gorgeous. And I think, no matter how beautiful the surroundings are, the setting that you live in, I think, after a certain point, unless you're just one of those super romantic people, you end up taking it for granted. Absolutely. Just don't even think about
it, dude. All I want, all I want to do is get out of Sarasota, Florida, which is like we're everyone on the Eastern Seaboard wants to retire to Wait, you got here, this play such Jesus, give me back anywhere close to Sarah Zonda. That place was heaven. Sometimes we're running from something and we don't even know what we're running from. Thanks Kevin, that's Kevin Turner. He's Kevin Turner. He's Danny Baylis. I was quick on this world, So enjoy you every minute while you have it.
We're not gonna have the latest on hashtag gaza bombing and the most important thing in the world that's trending. That's irresponsible. Well, we'll go ahead and have talk about tonight the Maverick season opener. We have a lot of MAVs content on today's show. You can hear that game tonight at eight thirty per game at eight here on ninety seven to one. Free tell me who you know more about today, the MAVs roster or the Diamondbacks roster. It's
the MAVs by a long shot. I know four Diamondbacks players, including Zach Wheeler, who's a very good pitcher, and Bill Fart. Bill Fart, now you're telling me Evan Longreg is on the team. So that's good. To the little wimby Mania six thirty five seven Sports at seven, it's a Cowboys stuff, Ranger stuff seven point thirty. Uh In the scuttle butt, plenty of stories including well, I don't know my lead is gonna be yet. I'm still figuring that out, but I know it's not an uh oh

There's so much Yeah, and I don't know what the lead with. It's exciting. We'll figure that out. Still early in the show eight o'clock, we'll do another support report. We're gonna do

The celebrity will spin because uh picks with glennses back tomorrow at eight o'clock, So we'll scramble to find a celebrity, the mast to find a celebrity and then failing, all right, what fine, I gotta interview my kid, you know, Oh chiefs so great again and then come Monday over to Yeah, like I'm out of it. I can't even catch you out to do it all again. Also, though, something at ate, something weird at the MAVs team home to team hotel in San Antonio.

Just lead our house you wake up. Yeah, I'm gonna do it in persons, Stop, will get your phone and listen to me. I'm briefing you. No, we need You're gonna get debriefed. Yeah, I'm a visual learner. I ate
thirty Dingo Morning News nine o'clock Machine. Our good friend Mike Marshall, I believe his digital VP of the Dallas maver He's a MAVs, a MAVs savant. He demanded some fancy titles in his title for the MAVs. But he's also radio man. He's the weekend show host and all around incredibly smart and funny person. Good damn dude, my best college friend for show for real? How old is? How old is Mike? Thirty seven? Eight year older than me? Two years older than me. I met Kevin Turner and
Mike Marshall in the very same moment in this life crazy? Were they like hand and Chan, the Siamese twins from the Guinness Book? Yeah? Whatever, exactly? I was Chann just to be fair, so everyone knows Hand Chan. I don't remember their names. I like Machine Man. I didn't know what to make of him early on in the old days, but I've gotten to know him over the last probably five years. Really cool, dude, because he's he's huge. Everyone's a little intimidated by him in the beginning,
like huge ass. Yes, he's a big ass. Like he could I guarantee you he could get into tonight's game and muscle out when beyona for a few rebounds. Oh my god, I have no doubt in my mind. Could not. No, dude, No, he in his day. This is like the most excited the league has been for a one to one in twenty years since Lebron. Yeah, I don't think Machine okay, because he happens to have a big can on him. Is going to rebound, rip two boards? He don't touch the basketball. His name is machine,
but that's his last name. His first name is rebound. Yeah, rebound. Well, we'll have him on at nine. We can ask him that. The first thing they will talk techniques of blocking out? Yeah, how would he approach the seven foot whatever? How tall is one? Seven? Seven? Seven? Is he? No? He set like seven to two right, I'm looking it up, Mike, But he's nineteen. I mean if his legs, if they stay attached, his his odds, Danny, Well, yeah, why are you doing it now? I want to do
it now? Read your own briefing. Dude, it's not time to talk about that right now. Yeah, no, correct, you're right, you're right. Hey reset Who we are we? Oh yeah, I'm Kevin Turner. That's Danny Bayless, that's Mike si Roy. And then there we have JJ Jackson. Good morning, JJ, Good morning morning JJ. Hew. Was that drive in we driving? No, the drive in to work today?
Oh? It was fine. Cool. That's a unique thing to ask her on a Wednesday, just a randomly yes, we missed her speaking of drives, Can I real quick just read it something that we got yesterday that Oh my god, yes, formers haven't laugh. So we were in Houston. I don't know if we're going to talk about the adventures we were on. We could squeeze it in where we want anything follow up or whatever. We went down to Houston for Game seven. It was amazing. We drove
hell five hours. It seemed total Monday to get down there, and then yesterday was a little easier coming back up right once we got out of the last the last couple hours, I feel like you, in particular, were having to make really concerted efforts to stay engaged. I was struggling. Positive, just got to get down the home stretch man. We were halling, asked though, and there wasn't much traffic for the last two and a half hours in the way back. Yes, it was okay. I found yesterday
to be okay, although I was struggling. And we made Kevin riad us trivia for the last two hours, which was fun. It was really fun. But if we'd miss a question, he would just x out of the whole screen for some reason and then find like a new trivia website and then we're like scrambling on Google to discover the answers to the questions that we made.
The button show was the answers. It was really weird. Add game show hostable, yeah, but the service was shoddy so when you'd click give up, show me the answers, you like, would not fully load it and it take forever. And I was like, we gotta keep these trivia questions coming or Mike's gonna fall asleep. And I appreciated that, and I said that I was bored. I was tired. I was like, please keep the trivia going. It kept us engaged. We did pretty well this
one. But anyway, as we were leaving or finishing our show in Houston at the iHeart Station. We're loading up into the prosper forward Ford Expedition Limited, which, once again, dude, maybe the nicest vehicle I've ever been in. I cannot thank prosper Ford enough through that I still have it, so I'm returning it after the show today. And I you know, this morning, you know, you grab all your crap and I walk outside and I saw it and it made me happy, you know, I'm like,
oh, yeah, one more half a day. I get to drive this. I get to pretend this is me. And it drives like a damn your car. It's so easy to drive, so fast, as big as
it is. Man, that car is fast and smooth. And you typically in a big car like that, if you start getting upwards of sixty five seventy seventy five and the speed limits to Houston seventy five, so everybody's going at least five to ten yeah over yeah, which you just do when you get on an interstate like that, and man, you just don't even realize. Yeah, you don't realize how how much you're a bowing ass. I showed you one speed just so you could see the speed and realize that it
doesn't feel within fifteen miles of that. And I mentioned this when we were driving. When you hit that particular speed, which might be the number associated with a different radio station that talks a lot of support in our Yeah, yeah, particularly a big focus on I don't know right a local team,
Yeah, maybe local football and baseball. Anyway, when you when you slowed down to maybe more of like a the speed that would you you might have like conservative talk, you know, right the other end of the dial, it feels like you're in a school zone. Yeah, it's crazy. Seventy five feels like a school zone when you spend any amount of time. Yes, you know, beautiful car, comfortable speed limits. I can't think prosser Ford enough. Why why would they be so nice to us? And you
know it's good. It's good that you you drove like that because with only you picked it up, it had seven miles in it. Every new car has an engine break in period, and they want you to drive like that. So you did prosper for a service. I did some testing. Yeah, and as always, anyway, your text playmaker Ben Rogers made it all happen anyway, pross before it stepped up, let us have this vehicle, we finished our show down on iHeart Houston. We're getting ready to leave.
In our p D. Zach, who we had on the air on Monday, I believe, first time on the air on the station. Got a couple of Zach laughs. We love Zach. Smooth broadcaster. He's a smooth broadcaster. He's got he's got a very infectious laugh, and he's a sweet dude, and he believes in us and that's that's all we're looking for. Anyway, he was so kind, you know, he's like, fantastic, take a victory lap. He text all of us, right, yes,
are you remembering what this is now? Yes? Oh correct, got us here, and he's like, just we sees a great opportunity to make it. He was just excited and you know, we haven't this is still just a year old, Like we haven't done a lot of adventures like this. This is one of the first ones. So he was just all fired up. You know, he's like the entire market's talking about Game seven and you guys owned it. He's really very flattering and friendly. JJ Gray for keeping
everything sounding good. That's what he threw the text. So anyway, great job, great job. He knew we were about to leave. He's like, you know, great job, down beat, the downbeat owned it. Well done everyone. And then he had a typo. His sign off was supposed to, you know, you'd end it with safe travels, something like that. There's a typo and it said Dale travels on way home. And I'm like, we're looking at it, going what Dale, Dale travels on
way home. I'm like, is this some ancient like confucious mantra that we all should know privately? Thought? Does he want us dead? Yes, I of course thought Earnhardt. Huh, I thought, Hansen. No, the worst wish you could put on someone getting into a beer Dale travels. Hey, guys, roll the dice, don't buckle up and slam into the
wall, but don't don't affix your Hans device. I read that as like, Dale, if you were visiting in the eighteen hundreds, you know, you're a settler, and you and a Native American community takes you in and then feeds you, and then they send you on to San Francisco. It's the last thing they say, Dale travels on way home. Thank you? Yeah. I was going to use any other name, h Rusty, Harry
or Bobby. All right, Jeff. He said, Tony, I'll take Tony Travels on the way home, way ahead of Dale travel Tony's a dash roll. Given what we think we know. So anytime anyone goes anywhere, I want to wish them Dale travels from here on out. What does it say, Dale travels on the way home? Now, Dale travels on way home. That's what I wish my enemies. Yeah, I hope you died a car crash on your way home. Dale Travels. I don't know. I saw it was a beautiful typo that tickled me all day yesterday. Yeah.
Before you go off into the world, son, I've got a piece of advice for you. My great grandfather passes in for me. Dale travels on way way. Oh thanks, thanks Dad. All Right, this is the down beat. Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Coming up next, let's get into it. Tonight is the NBA debut of Victor Wimiyama, the maybe most high profile NBA draft prospect since Lebron James, and he plays our little Mavericks. We'll discuss next on ninety seven one three
