They got one in Minnesota tomorrow night. Nice of Jason Kid to take a little time this morning before they travel to call in to us

this morning and then uh in about thirty minutes. Wive Chris Catan, formerly of SNL Fan, part of our nine to ten interview series. This week we're having Tim Klowers from Next Level Chef and he was uh. He was eliminated on Thursday night's episode. Spoiler he got eliminated in round two. But I've never had any I'd actually never seen that show before. He'll call it the Marge kind of walk. So what's that about? How do you get on a show like that? And then you've got Gordon Ramsey telling you that

you're is not great? Well, that's fun tomorrow then Thursday. Farah Abraham also known as I don't know if she still goes by it, but you may know her from backdoor teen mom fam. I don't think I would introduce her that way to MOK won't It might start things off on a foot. Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. So that's all good stuff right now. They've got something for you here in the scuttle. But this is one of our

daily news segments, always covering the top stories. It's all right, and this story's kind of big here in the metropolitsman Dallas One, who has had a huge, right up, huge, right up about this guy, Doctor Phil's coming to fort Worth, and not just a visit. He's gonna start his own TV network. He's partnering with fort Worth's Trinity Broadcasting Network and he's gonna launch a new network called at Street Media. Now the anchor is gonna

be his show, Doctor Phil Primetime. He's got live news news programs, a bunch of true crime dramas. He said that he wanted to do something with a broader platform, had wider guardrails, and he needed more than an hour a day on a CBS show to do that. So he's he says, also he thinks families in America are under attack or under attack from what he said. Some of it's intentional, some of it's not. I think some of it is the byproductive progress, and I think it has to be

dealt with what does he mean with? What does it mean the stern hand of doctor Phil. What's doctor Phil going to do to American families? Yeah, he's got to kill American families. I don't understand. It's also weird to say that you're against progress. Some of it's it's just like word soup. He just said something. People are angry. Yeah, okay, but if you actually break down what they're angry about or what they say they're angry

about, it doesn't make any sense. Really. Tell families are under thettack, but largely due to advancement of progress. Oh yeah, doctor Phil. Yeah, we are under attack. You're right, let's get them. It's a twenty little penis Well, it's a twenty four to seven news network and it's launching on February twenty six. So he's getting this thing up and running it. And that's all we need is twenty more twenty four to seven news. That'll fix everything, really get the info out there. But also twenty

four to seven news. Is it twenty four seven News. If you're airing Doctor Phil primetime and true crime dramas like that, it sounds like he's gonna fill out his schedule with tons of true crime drama. That's not news, why that's content? But everyone likes true crime drama, Danny, I do, I hear. I wish there were some exciting new stuff coming out. It's kind of well, though, to build your own TV network. Okay, you're building your own TV network right here in February. You're launching this

right here in Fort Worth is where you want to build it. Your own network just because of who you are, what U and T. By the way, I saw the trailer for his network, for the whole network, and remember just keep in mind what I was telling you about America's families are under attack on it. It's very strange how he's promoting this. There's the trailer I saw this on YouTube for Doctor Phil's new Merritt Street Media, which launches next month. Hi, I'm doctor Phil McGraw aka the Fake Nancy Grace,

and I'm so excited to be launching my very own television network. Welcome to Merritt Street Media, where you'll get live news, true crime dramas and all the Doctor Phil reruns you can handle, including the one that made Bad Baby famous Kick me Out on by Dad. Now that I have my own TV network, we can address the real problems in America. American families are under attack, and like Enrique Iglacias, I can be your hero. Baby.

Sure, my license to practice psychology expired back in two thousand and six, and I once locked all my employees in a room, but it wasn't out of anger. Merritt Street Media will have the finest and true crime dramas with new series like Hot Knife, Cold Butter or Unbiased take on the unfair assassination of Paula Dene's character. There's also Wet Detective or Detective Dick Shale could be in the middle of the Mohave Desert, but by the time he cracks

the case, he's gonna be soaking wet. And don't forget a Murder of Crows, a drama ordered for ten seasons in the fall on the Counting Crows, I mean, Adam Duritz used to port a list celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Emmy Rossom, and now he's just old. What happened to the Counting Crows Tuesday nights at nine. I don't miss Something's Wrong in Oaklawn, a show about my issues with the flavor of the famous Dallas neighborhood. I believe

men were supposed to be with women. And speaking of neighbors, Thursday Nights at eleven, It's my neighbor Killed Me twice clue testimonials of normal citizens who've been murdered by their neighbor multiple times. And then there's the Girl with the Whispering Eye Fridays at midnight. Don't look her dad in the eye, you

might get a fungus. That's just a few of our new true crime dramas coming to Merritt Street Media, along with others like Gone Boy, Doctor, Dragonfly, The Cobra and The Castle, Blood Mothers, The Penetrator, and No. I don't miss our live concert specials, including the day of our launch, where we have a one an hour concert featuring doctor Phil Collins. You're gonna feel me coming on the air tonight. My dad used to tell me, boy, don't ever miss a good chance to shut up, But

I hate my dad. He's the devil. Don't miss the launch of Merritt Street Media coming in February to a channel you probably don't have. I can fix the USA, damn. Yeah, the hell of a long trailer. Yeah, I don't see myself watching that trailer. Uh. At Friday nights, I'd watch No No, the true crime drama. You know, No does have some potential. Probably my neighbor killed me twice. I give that a spin. I think what about the girl with the whispering eye that gets

you in that one? The cover and the castle? Yeah, doctor Dragonfly, King of out On, you know yeah, oh, wet detective, now, wet detective. Yeah, we're a sweaty dick shale. It's all his crimes hard, you know. Uh, well, welcome to We'll welcome back to DFW, Doctor Phil. Thank you for it. It's like you never left. Thank you for quelling the anger of the American families, one

true crime drama at a time. You know, the thing about doctor Phil being in charge of this is that he is going to do whatever he wants to do for twenty four hours a day. Even said, yeah, it's gonna be uh, it won't be crazy if I'm doing my show where I have purposely got one of the people I'm talking to drunk, calling them an alcoholic and then the newspeople run in to break a story twenty four seven News Network that none of us are going to watch, but you do your thing,

doctor Phil. Who's he programming this too? Of older people? Yeah? Probably? I mean he's seventy right something like that. He's up there. We'll see though, We'll see you and t guy right there, Doctor Phil McGraw. He really crossed my mind in years. I don't know if he's still and is he just gonna bring back maybe the Springer style, like that's what he's the Only thing I know of him is catch me outside girl and the guy that he had on that had a head shaped like a gigantic

egg? Did he have an egghead guy on? There? It is wild psychologist who hasn't had his license since six and do people very underreported that he did a lock all of his employees in a room and starts screaming at him one time. Allegedly really they just wouldn't listen. It's like, dude, maybe don't do that. Do you think Oprah is like, what have I created? Because she used to let him jump on the show. That's where he got to do his man and that's where he got famous. He rode

her coattails. All right, Phil, good luck, Welcome to Dallas or fort Worth or fort Worth. Fort Worth. There was a bomb threat last night, just as it Uta, you gonna get the alert. It's about six o'clock last night. Your house isn't it? No, UTA is in Arlington. Sorry, it was still trying to process the doctor Phil promo. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. It'll stick with you too, mainly because it goes on that long. It's still playing when we're driving home.

The uh that has a bomb threat said to evacuate a couple buildings over in Arlington. Arlington. The thing is earlier in the day. Yesterday there was a campus alert tweeted out over in San Marcus. So it's those things we see sometimes. I don't know if it's swatting or not. It ends up being nothing. They issued, like the thread on the campus was unfounded. By seven o'clock there was the all clear. I think it's wild. How earlier in the day though, Sant Marcus is like, we got a problem.

Then Uta is like, yeah, something got reported and it turns out to be nothing. I mean, it's terrible that you can do bomb threats pretty easily. But god, that feels like something we would have tried back in high school. No, I hate to think, is it just someone who doesn't want to take a test that day? Or go like it's like an eighties movie, But that that's probably the most likely thing. And what are you gonna do? Not take a bomb threat? Seriously? Right?

You have to instantly, And if you are ill prepared for a massive test, don't there better ways of getting out of that than shutting down the entire school? Yes, I have COVID. Yeah, any screenshot a positive COVID test that you found online and you send it off to your professor. Bingo, what if the tiny eye it I've had COVID all semester and check the picture. Then they can tell that it was on the internet already before you took it. You think they're gonna watermark that? You think UTA is gonna

be able? You don't use tiny eye. You can put any picture in there and I'll tell you if it's everybody on the internet out of my house? Are you serious to yah? Called a reverse reverse look up? Yeah? Yeah, let's how you bust people. I think it's tiny eye. I think that's the one I use don't look up, whispering, whispering, I is gonna the one that you regret. Well, I'm glad everything is going to be ten I sorry, sorry, sorry, You're fine, ten

I ten I I'm glad everything's gonna be okay. At Harvard by the Highway, yeah, a shout out to their basketball team and head coach KT Turner over there doing a great job. Is that who it is? Yep? Really every time he gets a new job, hired or fired, and I get tagged in it, of course at the news update, the great KT Turner former assistant at Austin. I'm not sure, man, not sure. The little the little little Mavericks doing. Uh yeah, I don't know how

they're doing. I don't know KT Turner. Isn't it? Crazy basketball coach we had him on when we got hired. Was nuts the Metroplex's first Mavericks. Yeah, I uh. Over in Richardson where I live, Guys, we had a bit of a situation where the river will like it was running red because it was because of a car wash. It was a car wash situation. Malcolm, my knew Malcolm would love this story. Had a soap detergent spill from a Richardson car wash leaks into the creek over the weekend.

And this is not far from my house. It's ever by Floyd Branch Creek. It's off Rappa Ho there in Richardson. If I would have known about this on Sunday, I didn't see it until month yesterday. If I would know that this is Sunday, I would have gone and got footage of the Red River. It's blood red, and it's like colorful red, not even like that dark maroon red or she just looks like dirt, like this is cartoon colored Texas tech red. And I'm like, look at all the people

who must have died. And it turns out Derrick Lively was just hanging out above the creek, bleeding into it, just out of his nose, just on an overpass, gushing, just gushing blood. Telling you, that's the first thing I'm asking Jason Kid is if confirm if Derrick Lively's nose is broken to the free throw line and he had a lump. Yeah. And I looked up old pictures of him. I was trying to find a peripheral shot and he has a lovely shaped nose. His nose is busted anyway back in

there and got the damn game ceiling alley. You dunk was amazing. I wonder from the next game he's gonna be wearing the uh the mask was the name of the guy that always wore it for Detroit, Halton Hamilton mask between him and then uh Phantom of the Rondo. Well no, but then you've got Dwight Powell, who's wearing freaking weird glasses. Now, what's going on? It's going on? Remember when Kurt Rambus used to wear just like glasses

you would wear with the freaking straft around the back. Pretty awesome, I mean, dude, And it's not like that technology wasn't invented because Kareem had on the sports goggles. But there's Rambo over there just still rock the the nerd fifties professor glasses. They all get lasick now, I mean, you don't see the glasses almost ever. Who's it was it? Reggie Jackson the basketball player, he he wore glasses. Anyone I don't know, Yeah,

I'm sure there's a few right now. There was a Baltimore Oriole that ore glasses. Ryder loved him. He was I can't think of his name. I know who you're talking about. He was a fun guy. Yeah, like recently. Yeah, it was nineteen or something. Yeah, is a Chris Sabo. Uh. This guy because he had it kind of had a funny name too. I can't believe. I can't don't remember this name. But that's just what happens when you get older forgetting things. I guess what

was his name? I'll find it later. No, i'll find it. You can't kick out. So yeah, this car wash basically large amounts of red liquid flowing into the creek. They traced it to the car wash. The business owners basically was sending wastewater in the creek because he had a blockage on his main line. So this wastewater is going to the creek and it turned it red, which is weird, but officials did say that's normal. The only thing that could be affected is the fish in the creek. So

my fishing plans for the weekend are ruin. Yeah, you're about to throw a line in there all weekend long. Thanks car wash. There you go, all right? Richardson Creek runs red after detergent discharge. Oh my god, you ain't kidding. That is red. It's still redd. It's done. I was.
