This is the downbeat on the Freak, So ninety seven one. The Freak turns one year old today and one of our partners and good good friends of ours is a place called Lockwood Distilling Company up there in Richardson. Now we've only been around one year, but they've been around a little bit longer. In fact, they are holding their third annual Copper Cup Golf tournament that's coming

up real soon. And why I mentioned this is because you can play in this tournament and you can get paired up in or not paired up but joined up in a foursome led by Mike Serroy. Yeah. Yeah, he's over an Istanbul right now starting his own live tournament in some bathhouse. But look, you can play golf with the great Mike Serroy and it's really easy.

If you win, you get to name the club sandwich on the Lockwood menu. That's amazing. You can name it whatever you want. They're gonna

have to accept it. You could name it the Darth Vader Do Do Surprise, and they're gonna have to put that on their menu. That's worth getting in this alone is to come up with an insane name for this sandwich. Right absolutely, it is seven one the freak dot com. That's how you register to play golf with ser Roy and come up with a racky ass name for a Lockwood sandwich. Have fun with Roy on the golf course. Well, we're us radio shlubs are stuck in here talking about the Rangers. Yeah,

hell yeah hopefully. Well if they're still alive, then yeah, we've done really good today and tomorrow and Thursday and next week, and then we win the first World Series in Rangers history, all thanks to the Free who is not the home of the Texas Rangers, to the home of Dallas Mavericks and North Texas football on Saturdays. Danny, I have important stuff here. Where are we gonna do it? How about the scuttlebut some quickies and then we're gonna go to the sky. That's right, But not before we need

to mention that the scuttlebut is brought to you by Parker University. Yes, you can go find it at Parker dot EEDU. Daniel, pick some classes, Danny tomorrow, your phone is going to go off sometime between one twenty and one fifty PM, so don't be napping. FEMA is conducting a nationwide test of its emergency notification systems tomorrow between one twenty and one fifty Central Time, and the purpose of this is to assess the effectiveness of its emergency alert

system. Okay, so does it happen if your phone is turned off? That I don't know because I turned my shamefully, I turned my Amber alerts off just because I'll find out if there's an Amber alert from Twitter or something. You know, it's a scary. If it was just so scary and they're always so far away. So getting at one twenty cell towers will broadcast

the test for thirty minutes. During this time, wireless phones that are switched on within range of the cell tower will be or receive a test message, so you'll get the notification. I shouldn't let you know about that. I wonder if it works if you have it on, Do not disturb? Probably not usually taking a nap around that time, trying to Yeah, I wish I had a routine, but yeah, that's the thing I think. If it's on, if your phone is off, on that thing I don't think

it'll go off if you have it on silent. It's not gonna ring. I saw a lot of people are tomorrow gonna go what what is this? It's gonna be different than your standard alert that you yet. A woman was found dead in downtown Dallas apartment last week, and she previously worked as a personal assistant for Sarah Ferguson. Now, Sarah Ferguson is the ex wife of Turd of Prince Andrew, not Turd Ferguson from Jeopardy Fame, which is Burt

Reynolds weird as answered to Final Jeopardy with Ferguson, so good. So Sarah Ferguson was technically called the Duchess of York when we get into royal stuff. Trust me, my head goes, yeah, what not even I can help you with that. But Sarah Ferguson is the ex wife of Prince Andrew, Prince Andrew wild allegations and good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. But her former assistant, Janine Chapman found dead off an apartment off Elm Street really yes in Dallas

last week. James Patrick's forty eight. He was arrested in Austin last Tuesday. Her family called it an apparent domestic dispute, so I think he killed her. But this is getting big national headlines because it's too much. The former assistant former assistant of France Andrew's former wife. If you're in that web, you're you're just just get out and you will end up on the Independent, dot co, dot UK or whatever. That is crazy. Let's go

to the skies, Danny. We had a situation in Arlington or to day where a small plane had to land in the middle of an Arlington road about two pm yesterday afternoon, a small single engine Cessna landed at their East Park Road Drive and timber Lake Drive in Arlington, just east of Texas three sixty you know where that is. Two people were on board. They both got out of the plane on their own, but they weren't seriously injured, so

that's good. But the emergency landing on the road just makes me so nervous. So apparently the plane hit a chain link fence as it landed, which is also kind of missing the road if you're hitting a chain link fence. Because they were doing the best they could. Yeah, what is it with small plane crashes in towns, cities? Anywhere, I guess there, and I mean nobody on the ground got hurt. No, that's good. No. So you know they're still trying to figure out and investigate why this happened.

The records just cleared by seven pm last night. But no one died, no one hurt. But just crazy. You just don't imagine how your world would change the way you saw life would change completely if in your neighborhood a small plane just crashed onto the ground. Fact, what is going on? You know what? I bet in my and I'm speaking to my literal neighborhood because I live over off kind of Jim Miller in thirty and there is a park called Lakeland Hills Park. It's probably the only it's got the only

skate park in Gosh in the immediate area too. It's awesome. Lakeland Hills is great. One thing that I learned by talking to neighbors that have lived in that neighborhood for a long time. My house was built in the early mid six I think sixty three or sixty four. My home was built, as were most of the homes in that neighborhood, and some of the houses that kind of right adjacent to that park have been there since the sixties.

Was something that I learned by talking to some neighbors that have lived there their entire lives. Is that that park, that very park that is at Lakeland and like honey Cut or I'm sorry, Saint Francis and Honeycut, used to be an airport called white Rock Airport. It was I don't know what they call it, decommissioned them or whatever, or they close them down, close

down in the early seventies. But I talked to a guy that's probably six seven years older than me, and he said he remembers in the sixties being a little kid and on Sundays, the event was everybody would pull up their trucks to the airport and watch the watch the planes land. Because it was a private airport, so it was the wealthy white Rock Lake neighborhood. People would fly out for the weekend somewhere, whether it be Austin or Houston or

someplace like that, and spend the weekend partying. And then they'd come home and he goes, we'd watch the drunks fly home on Sunday night. I guarant to you some of those planes missed the runway and had the or came up short on fuel and had to land in neighborhoods over there and far as Stallus at one point. But that was fascinating though it Kevin, I'm not kidding you. You're it's like from here to there. Imagine your house is

right here and the middle of that parking lot is an airport. So you are walking out your front door and looking across a residential street and watching planes lands. So that'd be so cool, man, Well, I spent so my parents. Have you heard of air tractor? No air tractor is in any and it's one of the two big industries. Alley is my hometown, for those of no knowes, two hours west of the metroplates in the town of about three thousand people. And Danny's from Knox City, which is the

town about fifteen hundred people. And but it's about an hour and hour and a half west of Alney sure from So we're both just two gosh of the cut tree sitting around talking about the country, chewing on a piece of wheat and whittling. But my parents and my brother and my mom's store there. My dad worked there for thirty years placeful air tractor. They built crop dusters, Basically these planes you would spray on your plants to get rid of you

know, I don't want to get their water pesticides. Yeah, but also they could in times of needs, fire bombers things like that. So globally they sell planes globally. I remember brother hadn't take trips down to Brazil, like they sell planes globally. But it's municipal airport, and you know, it was a thing growing up there a lot, and my dad worked there, and to the point I would have to get a work truck in high school, get a work truck from time to time for storm was coming and

they were out of room. They'd built too many planes and they weren't enough room in the in the plants there. They have to leave the planes out, you know, just out in the country, and if a storm would come, you'd had to find a way to make room. So I would go, if my parents ride town, I would go, and I would attach a plane to this device on the back of a big work truck and move an airplane into a plant like that was like into a hangar into a

hangar yea, just to protect it from a pending tornado. Yeah, Like it was something you had to do. And it was a big enough tornado just ripped the hanger apart in the plane too. But just like big wins, big wins, big storms coming, you'd have to go move them and something. Me and my dad was run out there and do it real quick. And but I grew up a lot of a lot of Yeah, yeah, you're planes are coming in. If you planed you're coming in a day, you want to go out and see them, And we'd go out.

There's been six years Old's pretty cool too, well, I guess YEA planes come in to deliver these planes, you didn't just put them on the back of a flatbed truck. You flew them to where they needed to go, right, So that's crazy. So I grew up in the airplane world. Is kind of cool. That's awesome. Speaking though, of the skies, Danny, I'm Kevin Turner of Danny Baileship JJ Jackson with this Mike's Roy will be back tomorrow. There was a big story about a one hundred and four

year old skydive. Her name is Dorothy Hoffner one hundred and four. She wanted to be certified as the oldest person to have her skydive I'm gonna let the TV station and as Chicago tell you the rest of the story. Danny one hundred and four year old Dorothy Dorothy Hoffner, one hundred and four years old. She jumped out of a plane this afternoon in Ottawa, planning to a cheering crowd, improving it is never too late to skydive. Dorothy's hoping

to be named the oldest person in the world to skydive. Who is wonderful? It was a nice, peaceful hand depend to heat myself awake so I couldn't see the says the scenery. She looks great, she sounds great, and she's a skydive. Well, look at Dorothy. Okay, she's another inspiration. Okay, so Dorothy hundred and four, she ended. I didn't get there's an audio of it. But after her jump, she said, she turns one oh five in December and she wants to take a ride in

a hot air balloon next. I mean, that seems like a step down. Skydiving sounds much more perilous than a hot air balloon trip, which is just something you know, you just get in a basket, you go up for a couple hours. It's peaceful, serene, and safe and you land, you land safely every damn time. I don't know that I believe you. We've have you know, we've heard Mike's roy crash into the American here.

That is true. Well, as I watched that video and was getting that story last night, I stumbled into a wormhole of old ladies skydiving. So what site were you looking these up on? Yeah, gilts in the sky dot com. Uh, here's ninety year old she's a just rushing it here owner name, but it's kind of funny. Ninety year old birthday girl, Mark Bird doing her final safety instructions before skydiving for the first time. Mark and her tantem jumper safely descending back to the ground. Okay, here's

what you need to know about this video. The tandem jumper is a young hot fit guy and he's behind Mark and as she's attached to the front of him, and he's just given the horns up sign and there at the camera it looks like he's giving it to her without a hitch. Just wonderful, like I wish like I was a bird, you know, it was exciting and to see everything from up there was wonderful, beautiful, that's so sweet, beautiful story. But as I clicked on that link, I then found

myself on to ninety one year old Ida from Minnesota. From a couple of years back. Ida Shannon celebrated her ninety first birthday by jumping out of a plane. Life would be pretty dull if you're don't embrace the adventures. I like taking risks. I think I was born that way. She's a bit of a thrill seeker. You love that. I love it. Look at a beautiful smile, and she does not look any of her ninety one years. Okay, let me just tell you. She looked exactly like she was

ninety one. Who are you kidding? My man? She looked like she was ninety one, dude. So I don't know about this guy's commentary. She's just fabulous and so much more fun than some of my friends, including the one. I'd be terrified to do what she's doing right there. She has no trepidation, like, Okay, let's go jump out of plane ninety one? What do I have to lose? Crossing off everything from her bucket? Yeah, what do you do now? Well, you die, that's

what you do next? Jesus Kevin, Well, it is a little sensitivity, like what comes next? She's ida, she's a thrill seeker. Okay, we got a good laugh out of it. What do you do next? Well, okay for her birthday, Garrett Coffin, I guess the next logical step, if you, you know, go by the logic of the one hundred and four year old, you get in a hot air balloon. That's next. That is next. My question would be for you, Danny, when you're at that age, are you gonna be a thrill seeker or

you're gonna be more like our friend Flossy Dicky. This is my favorite old person audio of all time. Our good friend Flossy's at the nursing home and she is not wanting to go skydiving or riding a hot air balloon. Good morning. Yes, we are out here at the Cheeny Care Center and I am sitting next to Flossy Dicky. And check it out, folks, We got her her very own good days Sto Can Coffee mag She is enjoying some coffee this morning. Because Flossy, you say you're a little tired this morning.

Is that right? I am tired? She is very tired. That's actually I heard your favorite activity to do at the center here is to take take a little nap. Take a nap many times in the camp as many times as she can. She likes to take snap, take a nap. Flossy has three children. You have twelve grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and fifteen great great grandchildren. You sound like a very busy lady. Yes, she has. She has lived in multiple places in the Northwest from Oregon middle fingers

this morning. We also have some flowers that we would like to give you. Are you excited for your party? Not one bit? I love all right? Yeah, gave me a low hashtag Team Flossy. Hell yeah, that's what I'm going to be posting on old Twitter too. I mean these eight if you want to go for a skydive grade, But if you want to be closs it up, I'm probably more on the flossy end of things, to be honest, I'm just leave me alone, put my stories on, Let me nap. God, I don't want a birthday party. I

don't want your stupid flowers. Get that mic out of my face. I need nap. How am I your puppet? Right? I'm not your little dolly. You don't dress me up and give me a cake and leave me the f alone. It was the you're pretty busy, huh. I take a nap as often as I can, she said, not one bit, one bit, bringing cameras out and sticking cameras in her face and a lady interviewing in her als. Flossy wants to do is crash. I am tired. I am too, Flossy. You and me have a lot in comments,

So everyone'd be safe and head to the skies. If you see grandma up in a hot air balloon, oh my god, you heard it here first. Coming up next, we're gonna give you a chance to win something if you can answer Texas Rangers trivia what yes? Serious? Plus I didn't know about this. Ultimate Rangers and Raise preview the training the Rangers in the playoffs. They hardly ever do it. Next, sitting ninety seven one three
