Transcript

This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. I feel so all right. So, thirty minutes away from a Cowboys three for all, we go out to the Ghost Pepper Pavilion make our three scorching hot predictions for Cowboys rams Sunday at noon. I only have two. Do you guys have an extra on anybody? I do, but I was saving it as a caveat. Oh, there's the lobster roll. There's the big lobster look up so with the medallions on top. I think it's lobster medallions on top of

the lobster meat for page Ellenberger's bite of the big text torque. That's the lobsteroll. Oh my god, don't zoom in. She has lobster in her nostril. Get the camera off of her. Now, this is irresponsible. Still there, she doesn't know it's there. Oh my god, she's gonna be the rest of the morning with a glob mayonnaise hanging out of her nose and a lobster. You can see one of the claws waving at our audience

clipping. She's wearing leather pants. Claw. I was looking at her news report, Danny, you were looking at the glob of mayonnaise in her nose. Were you yes? I was. There's been so many TV stand ups right outside Globe Live Field all week, just in that parking lot as they just try to get that new food ready. Have it looked good? They had Hannah Bota out there yesterday, just at six in the morning, in the dark, just standing out in front of the gild. Yeah, they

make her go out to the field like once a week. Why do they do that? In like three or four days a week. She's your anchor in the morning, but then they make her. It's like they also don't want to like fully give her the full title of anchor man a bit of a hybrid player. Send you out one day a week. It's interesting. At least she's out there trying the foods. Yea. Then is just out there in the dark. You saw that, didn't you? Yeah, wind

blowing and she's in front of the stadium and do a stand up. Why there's no activity, nothing happening. Here's not even people in queue for tickets. I'm here before we tonight two days two days from now. I don't remind you the segment, but to you by Parker University Parker dot e ed U. Thank you Parker, big supporters of Bobster rolls over there too.

I have a promo for something before we do the scuttle Butt coming up later on the ben and skin Show. Uh, it's the return of Mosquito and the Hulk, and Christina Ray always sends over a little promo clip, a little teaser trailer, much like this Fargo season five trailer that dropped yesterday. Mike, here's a four second promo Mosquito and the Wholt coming up this afternoon on The Bends skin Show, and they're interviewing a guy named Jason Pok is

probably a smart option because he's a little younger. How you spell you? Can you spell that for me? Jason? I want to write this? Yeah, I want to hear too. What spell what? P U K A N A C U A hold on, hold on p U K E what is it? K K? There's a Q, p U K A P and then there's a dead right after that in a C you A. Well, you're not an expert, I'm asked, Jason, are you sure that's accurate? That's what he says? Is that accurate? Yeah? Yeh?

Jason? What do you expect On said, Okay, what Jason, just the tone of his voice sounds like he might not have a big capacity for nonsense tolerance. What did you hear the the rumor of Jason? No. I think they said that he's deleted his Twitter right after Instagram too. They can't find him. That's sad. He's tried to disappear from the face of the earth. After what happened. He's like, someone got me.

I don't know. I can't handle this demand a ruined de mand i like real introspective mosquito, like clearly trying to write something down, like real, look you say no if you if the consensus is but I wouldn't mind hearing that again. Oh no, I'm answer yes. And then Hulk trying to help. We're both trying to write it down. Is probably the smart option because he's a little younger. How you spell you? Could you spell that

toward me? Jason? I want to write this, Yeah, I want to to what spell what p U K A N A C U A interesting hold on p U K E what is it K? There's a Q p u K A P and there's a dead right after that and a C you a well you're not an expert. I'm asking, Jason, are you sure that's accurate? That's what he said? Is that accurate? Yep, Jason? What do you expect? That said? It's really funny? Well you're not. And the hunk kind of nailed it. The Haunk was listening and

wrote it. Well, I was listening. I wrote it down. Why do you need to know the spelling in a radio? And hang on? Can you spell that? I want to get that. I want to get this down like he needed to write it down to have it all weekend. It is so dumb you couldn't find it anywhere else. You need look it up? Really right? How are you? How are you spelling that? I cannot wait? What's the nail down? A time? What you know? That's today? The Minskin show tend to to skin on the whole is

back. Let's just gottle. But so what does this do for the economy? Here? Each World Series game is projected to generate up to fifteen million dollars in direct spending each game. So let's say it goes seven games, that would be four home games. That would be sixty million dollars of economic here in DFW that figure is including hotels, rental cars, ride share services, food and beverage, entertainment, merch and parking fees. Over at the

Arlington Visitors Bureau, where I like to hang out. I actually went over and interviewed them yesterday. Incredible selection of brochures. Oh my god, the pamphlets. The brochure wall is just a pleasure to get lost inside. They have two for Hurricane Harbor. Yeah, like a summer and a winter edition. There's not a ton you can do Urgan harder or in the winter, so it's a little smaller concert series. They said that thirty five percent or

more of the World Series fans will come here from outside the region. Does that seem like a lot to you? Thirty five percent? Yeah, this is like a lot. Uh. I bet that's half Arizona and half other Texans driving in. I guess. I guess that that set outside the region. That's the region. I guess. What's the definition of the region. I guess because exactly is where Danny and I came from. Small town, Yeah, two or three hours west of Heires. Yes, that's heading in

the region. Impacting the economy yup, Yeah, as in media and stuff. I know that's small, but there's a lot of sure, you know, a chunk of national media. Saturday already going to be a busy night for Arlington hotels, but the Cowboys play at noon on Sunday, so you add the World Series to that. The Live by Loew's hotel right by Texas Live was already booked up last night, booked up tonight, booked up tomorrow night. But here's what I discovered, and I not fully know this.

What'd you discover? They have an eight hundred and eighty eight room hotel called Lowe's Arlington. It's going to be the eight hundred and eighty eight room Lowe's Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, five hundred and fifty million dollars project, and it's going to connect by a skybridge over to Texas Live. I don't walk on skybridges once when just go on with your story. Well, it's not

completed yet, it won't be completed until February. So if that was there, they could have nine hundred more hotel rooms for this, and it's done in February. Done in February, we'll be opening time for next summer's MLB All Star Game, which we're hosting Global I field host everything now, but I think I just that's the one right across the street from the Lows, right, Yes, I just saw it. It looks about done, but it looks pretty badass. I was kind of what it clearly looks like hotels.

But if you didn't know that, and I didn't know that, unil I kind of read this. I was like, those apartments, how many units? Did you say? Eight hundred eighty eight rooms? Good god? How many current lows? It's like two hundred h Yeah, it's a big building then, I uh, And you're only using it for people that are there for events, right, I mean, who, like, who's booking

that hotel on a random Tuesday night in the off season? There is something too upping the value of an area and it getting a little bit of rub in off times too. I think I think, like, when you build that hub, it can't just be for game days only. Now, that's when you're hitting hard. And obviously this weekend's a dream for what they currently have hotel room wise, But I don't know if they're trying to build a

mini destination, I mean, it's gonna be okay. So two hundred and sixty six thousand square feet of meeting space and the one hundred and fifty thousand square foot Arlington Convention Center. So they basically just trying to make that area. Remember what was it going to be called Glory Park back in two thousand and eight when Jerry built AT and T Stadium. Correct, they were trying to call it Gloryhole Park or something. And now was there any chance that

joke didn't get used right there? I was ready for it. I was waiting on one of y'all to do it. Yeah, we just sat back and let you cook. You know, your maturity is what I appreciate the most. Sometimes it's best not to talk to a guy when he's throwing a no hitter. Yeah, I should know. There's a lot of our audience too appreciate that you didn't do it, and there's also another portion thats who really appreciates that I did do it. And I wanted to give both factions

of our audience a chance to celebrate. You're a fair and balanced comedian, Katie. Are you seeing all those foam fingers hanging out the car driving down inwood right now? I am, Oh, no, tomato just hit the glass. See both sides equally represented. We'll never get in here. It's double pained. We need to do something so bad that people throw fruit and veg at our window. If tomatoes start getting thrown at our studio window, that that's what we need. That's a victory. Do you think you can

stand in that parking lot and hit this window with a tomato? It's pretty high up. Three throws? Yeah, I think I could get close to it. Are we talking like a hothouse aromo or like a chair? You're absolutly right. The tomato matters because the consistency of the tomato might just integrate upon release the ripeness. It looks pretty far right. Does it have to smash? I think I could launch a tomatillo up here with with ease. Yeah, it doesn't have to smash tomato. It has to leave a like

a little bit of a juicy mark. Okay, if it doesn't please, especially evidence that a tomato was thrown and someone up here asked like, oh my god, I think three throws that could do it? Do you think so Monday shuet Monday. Oh. I would love to do that, but there's a hard working window washing crew that only comes what a couple of times a year. I've at to prove we're not doing it. No, they were going to rain, improve us. Okay, it's going to rain is

a good Why couldn't we do a tomato throw bit? Maybe maybe not on Monday? Maybe maybe forty eight degrees on Monday. KT's out there in a parka park launching produce at the window restrictive Parka, trying to throw tomatoes. He's gonna be throwing it like a World War two guy launching it. Yeah, Kat Turner, no hook shot a tomato. It's pretty funny though,

to throw tomatoes at your own studio window. It reminds the radio bit just to cut everyone off at the passer of a letter bit honestly as a preemptive striking word it so you don't have to you know, we just we got it covered. You don't have to do it. Well, Mike, what have you seen this? By the way, that's Mike Siroy over there right here, he's Danny Bayless, I'm Kevin, and we get JJ. There's nothing better than the unnecessary personality reset just in the middle of a second.

Yeah, but it's just we're in a story transition point too. By the way. I think it's we're still in the business of telling people who we are. Okay, every time you hit that red button right there that turns your mic on, there's a new person listening. Do you know that turned off the case? I challenge someone right now who's listening to the first time text us two on four seven eight seven one nine seven one. You probably didn't wudn't know this, but we do. People can text us directly and

just for write new listener. There's no pressure and we're not you're not signed up for anything. We're not going to beat you down with text or anything. Twee. I said, one if today is the first day you've ever heard the station or just kind of turned it on four seven eight seven seven one, yep, text right now. I'm staring at it, and you may go to Chris Tucker. No, we're out. Gave those out. I think, yeah, all right, we'll just do it. We did

enough there, but that's okay. I like the challenge. Yeah, I want to welcome someone new. We had a three minute story. Have you heard of something Mike coming up next February called the Florida Man Games. Jesus

No. It's being described as the most insane athletic showdown on Earth, and the games will include events such as Danny the Evading Arrest Obstacle course, Keep Going and which contestants jump over fences in three yards while being chased by real police officers, the Category five Cash grap and which participants try to grab as much money in a wind blowing booth classic bit always fun. Try not watching that? Yeah, walk by, and the self explanatory beer belly wrestling General

admission forty five dollars. Two former stars of American Gladiators have agreed to service referees. Wow, we are scraping the dregs for entertainment and no alligators, nothing involved. We're all expecting alligator. Yeah. I haven't heard that yet, but maybe I hear. They're adding events, you know, daily. Yeah, it's not finalized. It says it start till February. I give a crap more about that than anything that will happen in the Olympics in twenty

four. Shut up, I mean it. I want to see people running through other people's backyards with a cop pot on their tail, hoping a fence, avoiding angry dogs. We got a lot of time, New Listener Away someone said, got a case of tomatoes being delivered to all Tuesday. You're welcome, Bubba Okay, Carrie, thank you, nude listener. That's fair. New listener, who are you? I don't think that's a new listener. New listener. I've never heard such beautiful voices before in my life.

That probably someone new. I don't know if a text that says hey, it's me Steve is really doing the thing we asked for. But it's fine. No, thanks to everyone. New listener from four six nine. What is this s that's a fair question. Yeah, new listener, awesome show. Look at this pop in my freak Cherry. I don't know what that means. New listener, Adam Flores, I'm new anyway. Awesome, Hi, thank you everyone. Hello, we appreciate it. First time text for

a long time listener. Now give you my Chris Tucker tickets. Well we're done with that, no deal, but if you think that was good. New listeners and old listeners. Coming up next, we transport our show and eat a couple of tomatoes at the Ghost Pepper Pavilion, where we have three scorching hot predictions for cowboys and Rams this Sunday at noon try to get on the board. We'll tell you what you need to know, what's gonna happen in Sunday's games, in the Cowboys and Rams, that Zacs nice have one free
