Transcript

This is the downbeat on ninety seven one three. Okay, so we're going to do a couple of these leftover sports things and we'll get into the scuttle butt with the big news things you need to know, things you need to know. Get another weird plain one, but it's quick shocking gator attack. What happens when the gator tries to swallow you? Oh those nuts panic running

into the river. So it's also competition committee time when they start submitting rule changes each and it's funny because not all of them come out, but a few of them do, and the teams that submit them are tied to it. I mean, it is it's buddy, it's my friend. And what happens to twenty four of the thirty two owners need to uh need to approve, which is weird because the packers don't have it uns. They just go to our They got a bean snappers and they just take Yeah, have a

couple of there's the ten stripers there. Funny we have a commercial for bean Snappers somewhere Super Bowl commercial. What's the song? Yels girls and turn into police? It always does. It was very strange and very good. Now the Eagles always put in. I love it, very strange ones. I love the wheels off rule change submission. It's so fun to read and you're like, no, no one's even considering this, but the Eagles throw it

in there. What an onside kick alternative? Now, keep in mind last year there were only the onside kick recoveries were two of forty one, which I've said, since they cut back on safety and head injuries, I've hated the new onside kick thing. It makes two score games feel like that there's no chance. I always feel like as good an accurate as kickers are. Right, you go vertical with the football. You pick a guy, you pick some slub on their front line, and you just try to full speed

bang it off of them. You get target practice. Yes, that great idea. Just right back to your guys. They're expecting a little squibby thing. Just kick it and aim it right at the nutsack of some big old burly bear on the front line of defense. It's gonna ricochet right off his dumb ass genus and comes back to you. And then you get the ball and then you score. You kick in the middle of the ball. I mean, it's easy even when you even when you're aiming at them. They're

not expecting you to kick it that hard at the right right. That's what they should be practicing right now. Oh my god. Okay, what a great idea. You get dummy, the dummy. You set them there, and you spend all day trying to boot it right at the dummy. And if you can hit it more than two out of forty one times, it's worth trying. Are you hearing me, Brandon Aubrey? You're hearing me bones How who's more accurate at short distance kick than a soccer player? Yes,

you can kick this knuckleball. Plus there's a chance that dude doesn't know what to do and he moves his arm and it hits it. Nobody would expect that. And it's this knuckleball because it comes off weird. You get that knuckler right at him. Infinite resources to you practice this all spring and summer long too, with your practice squad with other just random kids, your random kids out there, fifth grade. You're a ticket now like Peyton Manning the

chubby kids, big kids, Hey, you play for the Cowboys. Now just stand there. Yay, Brandon Aubrey's just booting a knuckler at him. So the Eagles have pitched the on side kick alternative that gives promoting child abuse in a weird way. You're a little cowboy, you're a doctor pepper cowboy. Give a minimum wage PAM, then it's not abuse, I think. Yeah, summer job be the target of Randon Aubrey's kicks. Yeah, all

summer long. Kids go back to school bruised, dislocated shoulders. Okay, So it's basically they've pitched the on side kick alternative football that stops a team. Like, if you score, you keep the ball, and you have a fourth and twenty and an offensive play from your own twenty yard line. So fourth and twenty, you have the ball in your own twenty, your own twenty. It's fourth and twenty, and if you convert, you keep the ball. And guess what teams would convert that more than two out of

forty one. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, right, I mean, just penalty alone. And and the way that works too is wherever the ball goes on that play, the other team gets it there. So even on that fourth and twenty, if you get nineteen yards on it, you'll get the first down. The team would get it on the thirty nine. I think that's how it went. You're good at math, Kevin. I like that good math. The Colts had one

too. Give the coaches the ability to challenge any foul that's been called on the field, because sometimes you can't challenge. You can't challenge, like if a player was off sides and think it's a weird one. You should be able to So any call in the field, you're allowed to challenge, roughing the pass or even any objective call, holding, any call any that's a mess. I don't know that. I disagree. Fine, I'd rather be right than have a little sloppy mess. I want challenge. Sunday, I'm

here to watch these games. I am too, but I want baseball. I don't want the game to end a sap. I'm okay with getting it right, but Jesus holding, Yeah, okay, Oh, but you can't challenge something that didn't happen. Yeah, you challenge any foul that's been called. But they called holding on him. Was it really holding? Well? It probably was. Well that puts there, you know, And this is a problem. They did this with the past interference in twenty twenty or twenty

twenty one, and I hated it. I don't think you can do that. I just think people have got to understand that sometimes in life you get it screwed. So buck up a little bit. I'm gonna say it's gonna happen to you an overt amount of time. I've been clamoring for this for twenty years, and I'm pretty sure I read the what's the new XFS kicking footballs at little kid? No, No, that's already covered that. Oh

we just alred, we talked about that. No, I think this is a UFL what's the new football lead, whatever the XFL and whatever the new one. I was reading the rules and they're doing exactly what I've been saying on PI. I'll say it again. We need regular and flagrant. Yeah. If it's if it's you just get tied up and you're you're twisted and you're trying, and it's p I bam, fifteen yard penalty. Fine. If it's flagrant, which means you rake their arms and you yes, I

love that. What the hell? And I never even get that much support

for it. That's support for me, guys. I've been wanting the college football PI rule for a long time and this enhances it a bit, because, yeah, they're times where, yes, you can never assume that the receiver was going to catch the ball on that spot, but there are certain cases, yes, that you've got to give them the benefit of the doubt that it were it not for you grabbing my arms in it or holding me and impeding me from getting to where the ball was obviously going to be.

That's yeah. But the little more slightly more than incidental contact, that's that they call PI, which there's really no guarantee that the ball was going to get there or be defended by whatever. Yes, fifteen yards, well, fifteen yards matches the biggest penalty in football, right, Yeah, I mean that's it's the same as a sportsman like fifteen yards and essentially a first down. Huge, But we're gonna get forty yards for a dude who probably wasn't

gonna catch it. But there's a little hand jockeying and cornerbacks of the hardest job in sports. Anyway. I'll give you one, I'll go you one further. Let's put it on the other side too, Let's have two levels of holding, because I think ten yards for holding is too much. That's yeah, ten yards is a lot. It is, but I kind of I mean, I don't know if I'm ready to jump on, but I'm willing to talk. Let's go to bean Snappers and have a couple of line

and Google. That's a long dry bro. This is for the national football it's our national pastime, Danny, and we get to meet cool friends. Friends with the Detroit Lines put out a thing that is basically about coaching challenges. The line submitted the rule that if you'd get a third challenge if one of your first two is successful, And that sounds to me like a team who realizes their coach is a bit of a wing nut, a bit of a wing nut. He he's not gonna get both of them, right,

I know. So there's that, all right. I was all up for vote, all up for vote, not at a momentum behind any of them. So let's go. If you've got the hand kind of grabbing the shoulder, pad's too much, that's five yards. But if you tackle a dude to keep him from sacking your quarterback, then yes, ten yards. Think about it. Flagrant holding, a flagrant holding, regular holding, regular holding, yeah, superhold. Yeah, let's do the scuttle But fine, I

thought that this was that was just the time. Just finish it off. It's talking about vance tare restoration. I'm Kevin Turner with Danny Bayliss Mike's Roy JJ Jackson here two four eight seven seven eight seven one nine seven to one. If you want to win a pair of tickets to Hailstorm on August eleventh at the Toyota Music Factory, just be holler number three in honor of del Earnhardt. Right now, all right, if you want to see Hailstorm. Okay, so a couple of stories. Here's a quick one. Right here.

A Boeing plane that left DFW Airport on Wednesday landed safely at lax Mike after one of its tires blew out during takeoff. A wait, they've made it all the way to LA They said, you know what, why turn around? Now, what's the difference. Let's go. Landing's gonna suck no matter where it is. At least get to where you think you're going. Yeah, safely, no injuries, everything's fine. So which which which tire?

Front? Back? Well, this is why they have double tires, right, they have double tires on all of them, right, yeah, yeah, they're on a plane five or six. I would say one, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, sixteen. I think there's twenty twenty. Yeah, I think twenty tires. Are you Are you picturing a massive plane? Okay, on what what kind of plane? I think there's just six six two four, and I

think they're double sack tires, two back left, two back rights. I'm seven thirty seven, Danny, I don't do math O. Can't give me your big number. This is from ABC four in Charleston. This is a twenty a family friend. I think it's like six. It's a family friend who's talking about John Barrett, the Bowing whistle blow, that he did not commit suicide. There's no way. First Tonight, our investigative reporter Ann Emerson

has new information in the death of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett. A close family friend of Barnett says he predicted he might wind up dead, that a story could surface that he killed himself, but he told her don't believe it and tess up. Barnett whoa so he knew it. He told a family friend something's going to happen to it. Dude, this is more clear than ever to me. This is not a suicide and we all suspected it the other day. But no, Yeah, that's where I stand now for sure.

And Kidischer family friends saying that could be lying, but I I don't know, man, this is very odd. There's also I saw that the day before I think this is the twenty eighth someone in the government. It was a senator I think, or it might have been a congressman. I'm sorry, I don't rushed up. I didn't think I would say this today, pulled out a ton of stocks, took out some stocks from Boeing from Boeing, and then on the twenty ninth is the day that another big investigation began.

I mean, look, you might just pull out the stocks because the door flew off the plane, you know, a month after that, But I don't know. I think if you're in Congress for the Senate, you should just not be allowed to invest I think so too. You literally make decisions that impact or it should be many. You know, there should be a limit on how much one hundred bucks? Yeah, seriously thousand really?

Like, I don't know, a seven thirty seven has six tires, But I wasn't too far off on the seven forty seven eighteen eighteen tires two four six eight eighteen. It's still three racks up front and then seven racks on each on each side behind it. That's Craig Cray. It's a lot of tires. Yeah, fascinating story. I'm kind of with you. Anyone who's like, look, it's getting hot, things are something's going on here and feels the need to say out loud to a loved one just in case I

am not killing myself. Yeah, that's wild. And then within a month or a week or a year or whatever it is, you you're you've committed suicide in a parking lot the morning after a dinner with some other family member or somebody that's like, no, he was acting fine. We did not. Oh, this is just the nip of the iceberg. It seems tip. It's a tip te nip, it's tea. I think you're wrong. You're like my kid. You try to sneak in dirty words because that makes

you feel good, to get some weird and dworphin hit. Do you want some nuggies I'm looking for It's no pill Friday. We're getting wild today. Okay, hold off as long as you can. I want this, dude, out cold nine. No, No, I want him to save the pill for nine tonight so he could party up. I'm going straight to the Hub to watch golf right after this, because I've been in Skinshaw the Speakeasier doing a double remote at the Hub in Addison today. Hell yes, around,

bet Line, I'm going to the Hub after the show. That's great, watch golf and Kevin take a pill. I need to say this, but I'm not gonna kill myself. And if something happens to me, Kevin, I'm telling you look into it. I didn't do it. I'm far too much of a p I don't even know how to start. I don't want to die. I'm not doing it. I think if I haven't done it by now, it's probably not gonna happen. Yeah, tuns deep record this and play this in court A give some the light detector? Am I

lying? I'm not play it. According to the Census, Mike DFW added over one hundred and fifty two thousand new residents in twenty twenty three. That one year growth is the equivalent to adding another city of Mesquite. Geez dude, it's crazy. We're like eight million people now, one eight point one million people. Houston was number two and added people at one hundred and thirty nine thousand people. They're at seven point five million. They're chasing us.

Atlanta was third with sixty eight thousand, that's the closest was third at sixty eight thousand. Texas and Houston, I mean DFW and Houston basically doubled in growth than the next nearest contender. So wild. How far are we from? Uh? From New York? Now, NIP and Chicago they're the ones ahead of us, right, so we're the fourth market. Yeah, technically we'll be three soon. And this thing has us on what wkipedia at seven point nine the twenty twenty two estimate. So yeah, add one hundred and

fifty two thousand people to that. Yep, and first one percent change, we're up four point one. Again, these are twenty twenty two numbers. Yeah, and Chicago's down almost two percent. LA is down, New York is down. We're coming. We're coming, Chicago. Yeah, Hey, Chicago, we are coming. Look out bean, and we're gonna be number three pretty soon. Coffin and Rockwall County's top the nation in growth rate percentage. Coffin County eight percent, Rockwall County six point five percent growth in a

year. Nut, dude, have you been to Rockwall lately? Rock my last trip I went to last weekend. That's awesome. It's neighbor brand new neighborhood developments are just it is constantly under construction out there with new homes. Cool and cool stuff. They all are. I mean, I'm sure that those things will pop up as well to kind of support those neighborhoods. But man, and they all look the same, all the houses out there,

they all look the damn same. Gator attack do it? Yeah? Thirty seven year old man in South Africa is fishing with his twelve year old son. His line gets caught on a tree. So the bass is dangling from this tree branch and about an inch of water. Okay, so just kind of freaking out there. Dad is like, okay, I'm gonna go on. Snag it walks over there in the water by then unsnagg it and he's attacked by a thirteen foot alligabon. Oh you know what I said, alligator?

Crocodile. It's a crocodile, thirteen foot crocodile, which is more dangerous, right, crocodile? I always think that the croc is more dangerous than the gator, but as a rounded snout are just bigger, right, bigger. Yeah. So the wife comes screaming down the bank as the man is half swallowed by the gator. The wife, there was a log, starts clubbing the gator on the head. Geez, well the crock on the head. Pow pow pow. Guy leg first in mouth in mouth. The gator

was trying to drag him to deeper water, drowning. Well, let him sit there for a while and let the water kind of soften his flesh, and then they go back and go. Yeah, so they don't have to like work through all the mussels stinewy, tough meat. He said, I could not see my legs and could just see its teeth and those evil eyes looking at me Jesus as it slowly back towards deeper water where it would take me down getting eaten by jaws. It's exactly that. And the wife beat

the croc over the head with a log. She beat it off of the head. Did they get a bet off the log? Did he get his leg out? Okay? So he then said this, because think about it, he's halfway down Okay, I say the croc, I'll say, I'll say, is that the thigh? Okay, that at the thunder thighs? He is at the quad's there? Okay, so the crotch still above.

Okay, Like Jim Carrey and a spent you're a pet detective. When the shark gets him and he's riding it, he said, I remembered about gouging at the eyes, and I forced my thumbs into them and it just shook me like a rag doll. And then my wife ran into the water, grabbed my trouser belt. Hey, while beating the croc on the head with it. He said, every time I shut my eyes or try to sleep,

I see the crocodile. Imagine that, oh sleep, So the only thing you're looking at is that crop, that dead eye, lifeless sigh like a doll's no eyes. Now because he jammed his thumbs into his eyes, did he they did they save his leg? Actually? Yes, okay, yeah, he did not lose a leg here, very lucky didn't lose anything. He said. I never that's dignity. I swear this is real. He said. Quote. I never knew my wife had the strength or the

power to beat off a creature like that. Don't pass out when you read a legitimate news. He tried to use that joke like thirty seconds ago, two times. It's not a joke, but it's in the article. Okay, let's see, let's see show Danny see these words about beating off a crocodile. The worst point, you're a liar. I rather no a liar before it. Oh it's on your sheet. Good god. I don't just pull up articles and skim them. There's too many pop up, little dude.

I move them to my own dogs. Little kiddie jokes about beating off a crocodile. Everyone was gonna laugh at this. He was up half the night just giggs. He's trying to close his eyes, waking up rocks. What are you laughing at, Kevin? Do I never asked? Seven fifty I'm dropping a classic. I never do that. I'm going to make comedy history tomorrow seven Kevin, Will you go to sleep? And he dreams about it, wakes up the middle of the night giggling about his crocodile joke.

Don't do any of that. They're gonna love it. Those guys are gonna think I'm cool. Beat off crocodile. O. Best part he probably years ago. The best part. He's probably got a follow up line that he hasn't got to yet. Now he's deciding he should use it. I'm just finishing the reporting. I'm finishing the reporting ahead. Well, I've said quote, I don't know how I did it. I was in severe shock. Half of my husband was inside a giant crocodile. And no, no it's

not read what's highlighted. Read what you put in bold, what you put in bold with asterisks next to it. And when he was inside the giant crocodile, he was spraying blood everywhere. I told you, guys, I didn't do I didn't do what you think I did. You did what we thought you did. F it. We're staying ahead of time here today.
