This is the downbeat on ice A one the Freak, the triumphant return of food Court. At nine o'clock this morning, I have a very hot, very hot woman picking us up food from a brand new place that I've been curious about. I want to try. So new they don't even offer online ordering yet. You gotta go there and get her done. But it might be something that is uh, you know, like very very popular in the uh years to come. Nine of them opening up in Texas this year,
and the very first one opened up. And we're gonna sample the delicious wares of of this this particular restaurant that just open. We're doing the food Court. That's we got news. We got we got fast food, a fast paced, exciting food based quiz for YouTube to participate in. Not to mention all the other cool stuff. No, that was it. There are the three things I know. I meant the other segments that it's not just that segment that's gonna be awesome today. Like I mean you like, like Kevin,
Look he's sitting right there. Can you just be nice, Kevin? We tell everyone how nice we all are to each other. Everyone's real nice to each other. No, but I feel like because sometimes people be nice to Kevin. You will get that a lot. And I don't like, has anyone who's ever been mad at anyone else, not that I know of. I don't think nothing real. No, a few blue eyed white devils.
A listener did last night after the movie say, I kind of felt the other day you're irrit irritated at them, You're kind of showing I was like, well, if I was in the moment, that was definitely real. But the time the segment ends, or by the time the conversation ends, I've pretty much moved on. I think in a past life you, I'm had people who would gang up on you and do things that were on toward. But I don't think any more. I think of us as like
a group of brothers, like step brothers, three step brothers. Yeah, make sure that the relationship started with, you know, a karate fight here or there. Yeah, But now we've learned to the death in the front yard, with the neighborhood folk gathering around, we learned that not only do we love each other, we rely on one another, and we need each other one of us one perry, the other one alive. But ye, I forgot that happened. I did too stupid, so much I forgot.
We'll talk a little step Brothers at eight o'clock, and not just twenty year old movies. Hot new movies, Jjsen, a couple of them, Roadhouse, the New Ghostbusters. I don't know if that's it. Maybe a couple more. We'll see. Well, I'll do some movie talk, have a little fun there. Don't miss food Court at nine o'clock. But right now it's time scuttle by. We have time too. We might talk about the Cowboys for a second at eight as well. Maybe we'll see Okay, if
not the end night thirty, we'll figure it out. Got down the docket too, so much stuff. Tomorrow's opening day again, Ben and Skinchow on the Speakeasy will be out there thanks to Sunday Side, Chicken Touch, Credit Union and as and Coffee Roasters, which does have Java John. But they Rangers did announce a few things. The standard you know, Wade Bowen will
be performing your national anthem, all right I have. They're gonna raise a twenty twenty three World Series Championship banner measuring twenty feet in high thirty feet in width. How is that size? Wise? That seems huge. Does this seem huge like the MAVs banners nowhere? Well, I mean obviously different sized parks. We're talking, Yeah, money buy thirty feet wide. That's the size of a good sized boat, it says a j sent to the right
field video board. And I gotta say I've always struggled a little bit with adjacent is adjacent across or next next to? Okay, next, So it's gonna be next to it, left or right right field? The big one? Oh? Left or right of the right field? Oh? Keep reading it says adjacent. I bet it's gonna be to the left of the right field, probably because right would be too far. You want it more centralized, so it's hanging by the one though that hangs out over the right fielder's
head. You want to sign adjacent to center field. Now here's where I have a problem. It's not towards this specific person. It's just that I would prefer a lottery system or something. Because your first pitch. Have y'all seen this, by the way, good, No, do y'all know who's thrown out the first pitch? No, here's the easy one. Who's catching the first pitch? Push? Of course, push opening day after winning the World Series. And this might be the sweetest man in the universe. Is
it Tom Glavin, who's well deserving? Is it Tom Greave? Tom Griove's a better guess the is it Ben Greave person throwing out the first pitch? Is it Ben Rogers? Is it Kenny Rogers? Is it Rogers? Staubach, So you're a pickle now at Stapbach. It's hard to get into that descendant of the great musician Bach Sebastian a Chewbacca in a cinema quality mask, cinema quality Michael Carter, Right, you guys know Michael Carter, right,
I feel like he was a basketball player. By the way, let me just say ESPN, okay, National Broadcast, whole world will be watching six thirty five tillmorrow night. And Michael Carter's throwing out the first pitch. You guys know, Michael Carter, the great Michael cart Well, before he even tells us, I want to like, I'm sure there's I really don't know. I'm sure I don't either, but I'm sure there's a story bear trap that if we comment any further, we're gonna get stung by. Michael Carter
is a Rangers fan. He's been attending game since nineteen seventy three, became a season ticket holder in nineteen seventy nine. Is he that old guy that keeps showing on TV? I haven't seen him. Is he the guy in the Indian headdress that bangs on the drum? Oh? Is it is he? Zong? No? Zong gets bas Oh? Is he miss Price? He's not miss Prized. Is he one of the nuns? No? I think one of the nuns died took lady? No, I don't know of cookie? I mean, is he a cookie? Lady? I don't know.
You're an idiot? The south field. All the things I said were really really good. He's from south Lake. He's followed Major League Baseball since the fifties and has witnessed the majority of the Rangers' biggest home game moments while being at the three Arlington ballparks with his three children and ten grandchildren. Okay, so he ain't throwing a strike. Michael Carter is a sweet guy and
might be deserving of it. He's been a huge Ranger supporter since nineteen seventy nine, not nineteen seventy two, but nineteen seventy nine, and I just think, Hey, Game seventeen, let him fire one out there opening night after winning the World Series. We're going with a just a random guy. I just I have questions. I love the Rangers. They make me question things often, the parade strategy, so the things they do, I just go, what are you guys thinking? You know who they should have had
do the first pitch? Josh Spores. Oh, interesting, Okay, that is interesting. I mean, I'm serious. That kind of would be amazing. You know what, I would have liked. Nelson Cruz. Did he retire? I don't know. Probably not. Yeah, he's probably in the lineup so much. Forty eight years, twenty six dolls this year he finally retired. No, he didn't. He did. Really, he's forty three. But I bet he's still working out and staying in Shade debsfinitely on a
plane to Japan right now to play baseball for another five years. His phone will ring about the middle of the season. Yeah, exactly, we just need that one extra offensive push he finally quit. Can you use a current player to throw out the first ceremonial first pitch? Do you know anything you want? Right? Anything you want? You didn't have to throw it from the mound. So the rules are very loose here. Yeah, but are you with me? It's I'm not mad about it. No, I'm not
mad about it. It's strange. It is showcase your organization on national television. Yeah. You make a good point where in Game seventeen, have the fan do it? And may I doubt they're doing Ranger fans throughout the first pitch all year, But that's not bad bit if they are. I kind of like Pluck one of us. Pluck a representative who's their whole life has been waiting for this. I hear it. It's nice. Yeah, but you're right, it's not sexy or it's not make the news. Well,
especially when fifty cent was right there. Yeah, I'm not trying to crap on this guy's gold coolest moment ever. I'm just saying, like Game two three, whatever it is, you know what, zero joke. How about the kid of a how about Adrian Beltray? I was gonna say, like Shannon Stone, right, the kid. Yeah, and he has a statue outside of the ballpark, the father who passed away years ago. I mean he's probably twenty now, or do we need to bring that up again?
I don't know that would be assue what you're saying. Magical Maybe maybe I don't know, maybe magical. I still got too like they have them save for corporate sponsorships and celebrities. So you know, there's only eighty one home games. We could have made another date for Michael Carter because let Jamila the little chimp throughout the first pitch before she is to go off to Cleveland. Okay, the c Section Gorilla, Like, there's there's things you could have
done. Look, the standard thing is, you know George W. Bush goes out there and throws the first pitch again or so we've done all these things, but why not that? Wow, Ranger fans just hate this. John Daniels, who helped make some of those trades to win the World Series, who's now employee with the Devil Rays That whatdn't make sense? He works
for another team, Kevin, it doesn't matter part time. In two thousand and four, after the long, long, long, ass long suffering drought, the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in forever, like a million years. Who do you think throughout the first pitch? Phill Butckner at their first at their game into the opening day two thousand and five, Ted Williams, Mark Wahlberg, Bill Buckner, Bill buckaner'd be great. I can tell you this. It wasn't a random fan. It wasn't a diehard lifer
athleic of the socks. You guys are these are great guesses. No. They brought out Bill Russell, Yeah, okay, Bobby or Ray Bork No and Tom No. Uh. And they were joined by at the time Patriots defensive stars Richard Seymour and Teddy Bruce. Kid, Teddy, I've almost had Teddy Bruce. That's cool. Dirk Madonno, Troy Stabuch, whatever you want to do. Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, absolutely, tattoo, like, dude, bigger. How about Scottish Flair, Scott that would have been like
new it would have been It would have been cool. He's like, I'm too busy dominating the field at the Valero Open. Yeah. Sorry, he can't make it. I'm winning my third straight. You bring out two other champions, You bring out Dirk, and you bring out Eckman or Roger. You could do Dirk, Madonna, maybe Madonna two statues, statues. M H. I don't hate it. I don't hate it either, there's no hate at all, just an opportunity to showcase this really relish it. Instead.
Here's Michael Carter fan. Yeah, fan for or you were born. He was cheering for the Rangers. You're more excited. Someone said they should have let David Freeze throw up first, bitch, that's really funny. Not allowed. So he was a fan since nineteen seventy nine. What was he doing in the previous seven years? Mike old card if that is your real name. Trying to figure out which team to pull forward, waiting on a
good year. Yeah, worst team ever. It's all that they got great either, but just a small curious just a small bone to pick, curious decision. It is fine, that's the best of It's fine. But also huh, but I mean when you march Bill Russell and Bobby or Yeah, it's kind of like that's not that's that's basketball and Hockey Royalty, not just
New England specific. I'm doing the research project tonight. Now, every team that won the World Series who through the opening day first pitch the next year, well, it's also got to be a team that's like either never wanted or it's been a massive drought. No, Kevin should do every team of all time do the research. I mean, if you want to do that to the agent the Oakland the Yellow Stockings marched out the Rhode Island Yellowstocket.
Yes, the marched out handle bar McGillick, hotty, that right out the first pitch for the Charleston Bricklayers. Okay, if you do that, you will be up all that to make up. Yes, I want it, No I don't. Okay, hold on, first, guess when was baseball's first pitch ceremonial first pitch? Seventeen ninety one? No, it was after the Constitution team ninety well, yeah, eighteen ninety nine. Was it in
the eighteen hundreds? Yeah? No, yeah, I was about to say, it's probably something that happened in like nineteen fifty pre Hitler, pre nineteen twenty seven, pre nineteen twenty one, pre nineteen nineteen, pre nineteen thirteen, pre pre nineteen four, post seven, post post nine. Yeah, boy for Danny. Okay, you get who was it? You get one more bite of food at nine o'clock? Was it Michael Carter? He was
twelve harter, a young fan season tickets seeking his own team. It was President the President nineteen ten Truman, I don't want to play any more games. President William Howard Taft draft throughout the raft, throughout this first ceremonial pitch. On Baseball's opening day April fourteenth, nineteen ten, Truman was like,
in forty five right, I don't know. He uh. If we want to get popular on TikTok, we should play William Taft music and do the dance, shake that laffy Tafty. My god, I'm just trying to get more engagement on TikTok. I don't hate it. You shouldn't hate it. Don't you hate it? Boy? It was no one else had the if you step out there, look down and the fall could be a bloody mess on the street. I looked down, and I said, he hits a seeing eye single, or he just strikes out on three pitches. He said.
I looked down and see a bloody mess on the street, and I said it. Tafted the first two Vice president James Sherman. It's all presidents Woodrow Wilson for four years straight. Yeah, Warren G. Harding for four years. So this is like the presidents for their whole terms. Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, FDR. Harry Truman. Geez, when do we get they're all presidents? They are all presidents Nixon, Hoover and US. Doing George W. Bush is common. We do that around here every once in
a while, playoffs, things like that. So that they're looking at this as wait, am, I let me get presidential ceremonial first pitch. I don't know what you're looking at. I think there's a for the season. There's a ceremonial first pitch for the entire league. Oh really, car, it's not just well, let's back when they had like five teams anyway. Yeah, and that's the only sport they had. Yeah, that in boxing facing Baltimore again, forty eight games series with the Oreoles Baltimore in town,
thirty five games set. That's not the play one hundred and sixty two games too. Like it is very much the forty hour work week from one hundred years ago. It's like, now we just did it to fill out the year. Something do beautiful, it's beautiful. Quickly, this will be a sixty second story. It's an update on the uh it's an update on the Baltimore Bridge. You guys cool with that real quick, We'll just pize that in real quick because it has been pretty much confirmed. Uh, it lost
power. The ship lost power at what would have been twelve twenty four Central time here twelve twenty four, lost power four minutes later, hit the bridge. The ship was basically rudderless, uh, at the mercy of currents and then you know, hit the pillar. The bridge goes. They did have you know, they did fire off the may day. They did everything they were supposed to do, and so there were people construction workers were working on potholes on the street, like we kind of thought on the yeah, on
the pavement on the bridge. I saw an interview with thee I think it was the governor of Maryland, and uh, he had a really good interview, like he was like, what people need to know is that we had first responders rushing the action to block off the roads to stop cars from being on the bridge, and that prevented and it worked. Yes, Okay, that prevented more lives from being said, No, that sounds crazy that that could happen in four minutes. But I think I said one twenty four is
when it lost power. I think that's the second time it lost power because yeah, I think they saw it flash off, and then you saw it flashback on again, and then it went off and then and then there was smoke coming out of the out of the ship. Yeah. Yeah, But dude, like I said that one video, did you see that one? It's a wider shot, and I see a car like ten seconds or less
before the boat hits. There is kind of regular traffic. It's not like crazy pack traffic, but there's two three you would expect in that area at mid Yeah, you'd expect maybe consistent traffic on a very busy bridge, but nothing insane. But two or three cars passing over within ten seconds of it hitting. But then it looks like about three seconds before it hits, the traffic stops. And I watch a video, I'm like, wow, how
lucky is that? But if there's freaking cops or however they do it, or they have the poort authority, I don't know who's right there on site and slid their damn car in front of traffic and said stop, and then milliseconds later the entire bridge collapse. That's fascinating and an amazing response. It makes me also think the construction workers there did not get the heads up. Well, no, like I said, I think they did it within ten
seconds. I mean there was regular traffic going. Yeah, like they couldn't clear the bridge. It wasn't an option, but stop traffic was. And there's probably some siren or something then. I don't know. I mean, it's awful to think of the people on the bridge obviously, but they prevented a lot with that movie. Six Presumed Dad. They're basically calling off the recovery mission. This will be searching, of course, but the recovery mission
call. If there's any one that develops, we'll let you know. You know, throughout the day, we have Dingo's Morning News eight thirty as well. But we all had Win'sall Stepbrothers last night for the Almo draft House Let's Freaking Chill series And it was a fun to go watch a movie like that in a crowded theater with some listeners and things like that. But it's had
me thinking, what's the greatest comedy movie of all time? If you want to add into that conversation two one four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one collar texting as well, what's the greatest comedy movie of all time? And to Step Brothers even hold up next on ninety seven won the free
