This is the downbeat on ninety seven one The Freak. Thirty minutes, we'll discuss The Iron Call, the movie we saw last night as a world careered at the Texas Theater. We were there by Zach Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Lily James, Mark Tierney, many, many, many many more. Where's the Dad Holt? Holt mcclanahey, some of that Holt mcclennan. What is it he was in mind Hunter? Yes? Is that the first time we saw him? That's the first time I saw him? Did you watch
that? Yeah? I was fresh season that was great. I like that. Yeah. Season two is really good too. You get to meet Manson. Did you give up on Fargo? Did you keep crushing thro? I crushed the first season and really good. I'm wasn't blown away. I liked Season Two's the best one. Is that right? Okay? Because I'm having trouble? Oh no, Fressen play JJ oh oh fired uh at least two?
Okay? Oh well, I got nothing doing right now. There's a new show coming out on Sunday on Showtime and it's called hold On Here. I put a link in there in case we talked about this. Maybe we shouldn't talk about it now. I would love for you to talk about it right now now. It's it's a new show called on Showtime, starring Emma
Stone and Nathan Fielder. It's called The Curse and it has been described as basically one of the most cringey TV shows of all time, and in a good way though, because you know Nathan Fielder right, did you watch the rehearsal Mike most of it? Yes? Did you watch the rehearsals any? I watched one episode? Is it too much for you? Couldn't handle it? Oh? I love that, I get it, but I don't get it. This is the year's squirmiest new show. To Emma Stone two,
playing kind of an uncomfortable role, she'll go all out. Yeah, this is gonna be good. And the guy who directed it to go did Uncut Gems Safty. I loved Uncut Jons. This will be on Showtime. I believe it's on Sunday Night. So basically the plot is they are basically like a Chip and Jojo type their HGTV reality show US, but going through marriage issues and stuff. And I think, obviously you're gonna have that weird Nathan Fielder almost fake reality element to it. Oh, it's gonna be funny,
dude, I like or excuse. Comedy needs to come back. We need more comedy in our in our culture. We live in a world where the Emmy nominations. Me and Danny talked about this right after we talked about wash going to the Angels last night, as we sat back there, back there, that's where I wanted to be. That's always sit back row on the isle. Anyway, So I was happy you were on row s. We were on row you. I was ro cue. Okay, so you said
you were two rows in front of us. Yes, he's lying. No, I have a liar, by the way, I'm not a known liar. I have the tickets. There's another one that c It is weird. You guys were row you and I was ro cue. It does sound better presented in alphabet form. Our seats were much better. This point is we live in a world where Emmy nominated television shows for Best Comedy are The Bear, Barry, Ted Lasso, three shows that aren't funny. Okay, now
they were in the beginning. Maybe they tried to eat Barry was Ted Lasso is not that funny? I like Ted hilarious, good show, but it's not funny. It's a drama more than it's a comedy. It's emotional. I do cry just about every episode, but I'm as hilarious Jimmy. You and I have hearts that are open, not hearts that are sealed close and
spackled shut. I like to now the Bears argument like you can. I think the situation because there's a lot of mental health situations, and the Bears like, man, it is really a comedy, but there are some funny elements to it. I guess when it's with the staff. So I think there was one of those shows where they wanted so bad to put it in the you know, war season, that they just do it in the comedy
because drama section it's so field, there are no comedies. You also have to keep in mind that the running time of these episodes probably plays a part in that, because you obviously think of comedies as thirty thirty five minutes, and those shows, you know, that's their running time. Yeah, but Barry and the Bear, I've had episodes that are forty five minutes. Yeah, but typically but yeah, they're not our long dramas. My point is
there's no comedy. That's the point comedy has gone away. We need comedy back in this world, and that's why I stand to serve the Metroplex every single morning at six am with a proud member of the comedy first Responders. Let's do something that Parker University is uh doing for us. They're sponsoring the scuttle but Parker University, which one of the van Erks played a gig at. Oh no, that was U t d uh huh Parker dot eed U. Let's do the news. It's gonna be okay. Dude, he's extra
sleepy today. I'm not. You said you were really really sleepy. It's a Thursday. I know what day it is. keV Oh, I got four hours and fifty three minutes. That's good for me. Damn, that's a little above average for man. I need the bar of your watch tonight and see what I'm logging. Get your own and track it. I don't know where to borrow mine. I have one that I don't use. You can have it. Is that it is like an iPhone wall yeah, Apple watch. Y'all should track your sleep for a week just to see. I
want to do it. I hate, I hate. Christina had one, and then I got an upgraded one. So the previous one, which is fine, just is just sitting there. Let me check that thing out for a week. I want to track my sleep. It's a fun test, okay, and then we'll track each other's Uber scores. Mine's perfect, get it. Mine would be fine. But every now and again I take an Uber ride with our friend Troy. Oh no the cab, Yeah, and he screams and grabs the steering wheel and screams, we're going to Shreveport at
two in the morning. Yeah, later than two in the morning. And they tend to ding me with a sub five rating. Well, thanks Troy, Thanks Troy for that cocaine that long time. It's just a wild man. He is wild in the best ways. He's a great man. It's a bold claim from liar. I don't appreciate that as being an official nickname at all. That is not nice. Mike's Roy, no liar? What is known? Dallas observe radio host of the Year and no liar Mike title
stripped? No guys, what the Dallas Veterans Day Parade was canceled today second straight year? Why s weather, Kobe? Yeah, we got rain, not COVID veterans can handle some rain. They were in best known man we can. I was going out there to Grand Marshal that thing. No, you weren't. You wanted to be the Grand Marshal of the Veterans Day Parade. Okay, do you want to minimize I'm saying we would have ran a promo for it. Yeah, for sure, you would have been talking about
it. And you know what you just did. You lied? You just slide moments, okay, itself, no favorite, right after you went off on the known liars, Yeah, Grand Marshal, Okay, after your spint in the Air Force, they're gonna get you. My four year stint getting drunk in Tucson trying to hook up the chicks because your life was going where because I flugged out of two community colleges, one of which was Manatee Community College. By the way, Oh my god, transparency, it's not a
lie. Sometimes you tell jokes that are faults. I know. Of course, I would never lie to you guys. Of course one time. I would never lie to you guys. The most popular quote of every known liar. All right, read your story. Dude. Stop looking. It's like we're wasting your time. This is where we've got rain coming really today tonight, Today's Thursday, right, it's gonna hit now. I mean it's kind of now now now still like three in the morning. More yeah, and
the temperature is going to drop. I think we're looking at like a high of sixty one today. There you go, and then more rain. I think there's chances of rain all afternoon as well. It's sixty six right now this afternoon, it'll be fifty six by like four or five, so on average, the first freeze of the season in DFW happens on November twenty second.
Okay, that is two weeks from yesterday, so on average. So if you need to get your life situated for when that happens, actually your pipestone burst and all that stuff, you know, like I have because I don't have an oven or a dishwasher, and my laundry is in my garage, but it can get cold out there. My last year, my washing machine froze. I need to go make sure my space heater still works. Is that over said to put a space heater like and put it on my
washing machine so it wouldn't freeze. That doesn't sound like a fire hazard. Does. It doesn't sound problematic. It's not a question. I'm telling you, Dan and I are coming to your house today after the show. We need to take a look around. We need to do some inspection. Yeah thing, No, I need to see what you're actually working with. You'll never get my address. It doesn't sound good. One thing we know is he doesn't need a space heater to defrost his dishwasher. That doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist. No, But you know what, is there a broken sitting in the hole doing the dishes by hand? It is a good thing for your mental health. It helps the strength of your iron claw. Yeah, forearm strength is really yeah. Okay, let me ask you a question doing a task like that. I have a dishwasher question. Do you have a space a dishwasher should go and it's just a hole? Or is there like a broken ass dishwasher in there? Yeah, broken ass dishwasher. It's old
nasties. Get you a dishwasher, Kevio. It's not just loose clear plastic taped up over the hole. Do not cross like your wing passenger window got bused today. I have to drive not that. So you do have a broken dishwasher in the spot? Comes of previous owners, and you know it's broken who their mail still comes to my house? Yeah? I still get that. And I've been at my place for like seven years. What do
you do throwing the trash hold? The mailman one time he was walking by, is like, hey, they don't live here anymore, and he goes, I don't care. I don't you know what. That's how I would respond to you. I don't care. I'm walking while delivering mail. It's one hundred and seven degrees outside. Can we go fund me a damn dishwasher for Kevy? No, they're like a eight books man. Having a dishwasher is like listening to an audio book or listening to a podcast on times to
speed. You know what I like to read the book. I like to manually turn the page. And that's what I don't like. Yeah, I'm reading the book about emo music right now. It's a fun facts in there. You he wrote one album that was about not like everyone thinks the emo movement was about these kids who got bullied by jocks. So I wrote an album to show you who I was really bullied by. I was bullied by artsy kids who would rub it in your face if you weren't as cool as
them. Those were the real bullies while the era of music in the early two thousands. I'm glad you brought that to the air. More than that, I just want to I want to get you washer. Let's read a whole book about it. I think it was a good fun fact that a lot of people will take in the last ninety seconds here. Other than that, we want ninety years. Our sweet friend, our sweet friend Kevio. He needs a dishwasher. No, I don't, I'll kick in. What
do you think I'm kicking a couple of hundred no favors? Come on, yeah, two? Can we get a dishwasher for four inner bucks? Yeah, it'll be like the base level dishwasher. I mean what it's you know, zip your lip and your washing machines in your garage and you have to bring a space here out. Oh god, we're still on it. So freeze. Did just see the plume? No? Are you changing stories or not? Yes? Okay, real quick? Do you think that's bizarre at
all? That the average freeze in this town if you average up all the years, there's November twenty second, our darkest day. Yeah, and it's a sixty year anniversary this year. That's sort of interesting, ironically. I think the temperature that day is sixty six degrees, which is sixty three days. Do you have a fire pit in your bedroom to keep you in roxy warm in the winter months, going to punch or a twisted up rubber band for your ceiling fan to operate in the summertime. No, my part of
the house doesn't have hers. She's got all the accessories and utilities. Yeah. So there was a huge Joshul google this real quick. Shepherd, Texas. It's about sixty miles northeast of Houston, and there was a huge explosion at this chemical plant. And it is the most end of the world stuff I've seen in a long time. It was worse to me than the the wake Waco in a few years back. Yeah, they told people this wet was that west in West Texas? Yeah. Yeah, they told people to
stay in their homes and turn off their air conditioners. Yeah, and washing machine and you're non functioning dishwashers. The owner of the power plant said the explo was caused by an accident involving a forklift. Always the forklift you ever see the gift of like the forklift guy screwing up and going like a couple of feet to the left, and he hits one little part of this scaffolding deal and the next thing you know, the entire warehouse is just a pile
on this guy sprinting away. It's a fragile ecosystem, these warehouses. No people who do those jobs, they get enough credit. You cannot. I mean, I guess it's the same thing. You can say the same thing about a pilots. There are people who minimize what pilots do. But it is a job where you have to be one. There are not a lot of jobs where you have to be one that is one of them. I dude, we can come in and have a bad day two three times a
week, be just five times pilot week one. That one in completion gets you every time. And isn't it human bess, You can't mess up from. But it's human nature. No matter what profession you're in, no matter how much leverage is on your job, you're going to cut corners. You're gonna be lazy, You're gonna not get enough sleep. The night before, your mind's gonna wander. You're gonna be looking at your phone texting some old gal and big old yeah. And it could be a pilot of a plane,
it could be forklift man, it could be radio people. It applies to everybody because you know what we are, Kevin. We're human beings and we're all the same. Someone said that if you get a dishwasher, I'll install it for free. Everyone needs to leave me alone. That's kindness you don't want to find people. I can't believe that he is being so dismissive to our faithful friends that are friends of radios too. We did a survey. There's five thousand Americans who took part in this thing, and it was
talking about TV streaming and how that relates to romance. Okay, thirty seven percent of Americans say that they primarily they're watching something it's with a partner thirty seven percent. There's the part that got me. As we enter Cuffing season six and ten, nearly six out of ten, it's about fifty seven percent of people say that an acceptable first date is just watching TV. Really, how about that? You know what? After thinking about that, I totally
agree. You can get to know a person a lot better by knowing if they shut up or not during the plot or something. So waiting for the plot. You're watching a TV show, You're trying to get to know a person. But there's a big part of this episode, and if they start yacking, you're gonna know. I don't We're not compatible. You need to do what I do, which is the dramatic pressing of pause and then just
and then turn to them. No, no, no, no, even better pause and then just turn your entire body and give them your full attention and just kind of look at them like uh huh, and maybe speed blank at them, maybe push your lips a little bit. You had something important,
really, you had something so important. He was about to kill this very so, I mean whatever, you realize this is being revealed, Like as we're you do realize that Tom Hanks is about to storm the beach of Normandy right now, right, we're like in the first ten minutes of this thing, right. But no, what you have to say so important? So let me pause face you. Now, why are all these men going to the beach date over? No? I disagree. That's not a good
first thing. Well think about this, but everyone's all so caught up with going out and spend money a couple of coffee. You can't first talk during show you put on a TV show. You don't know this person at your first date. They're sitting on your couch or your lounge chair and you turn on TV. How are you actually getting to have a conversation with this person?
But if you're already filter the type of person they are so that they don't ruin saving private ryan for you in the first ten minutes of the of the most important scene, you know, by filtering them out over coffee, you're making them take a World War two trivia quiz at a piece of paper that you have in your popcame and so do that. But should we give our ladies a World War two quiz? I don't think we should. If we the thing is, if you're way to get cussed out, I don't
think we should. If you're already at the house, there's a better chance of on the first date. Yeah, if you're already at the house, because the hold up, we're gonna go out and luck you bring them back home. You no, you are not because of the implication you're not gonna do that. It's already at it you're place or her place, just casually watching TV. Yeah, things can only go to one place if it's going,
well, we're ten feet from the bed, funky town. You're talking sex when you make those noises and say that, Yeah, I don't know. I think that's a bad idea because here's one thing is there's four different places that I can orgasm from. So let's say that the girl. You invite the girl over and maybe there's wine and she wants to have a cocktail, but she gets too drunk and you end up not liking her, and then she's like, I'm too hammered to drive, right, Like, oh
great, well, here's a pillow and a blankie. Yeah, you don't there. You don't want to be trapped in your home. No, if it doesn't work out. No, that's the great thing about being mobile is you can leave at any time. If you know what, I've got to run at the restaurant. No, I'm going to my car with a bar. Is the only proper place for a first day? Right? Yeah? Or what if you don't drink coffees and ice? The movie's always on first place, first date choice. You can't talk the talk. That's old school.
That's old school, Like, yeah, okay, that's enough. Well, a lot of forklift operators are saying we got things very wrong. Well, look a lot, but there are a lot of people anti dishwasher. Yeah, because a lot of people. Someone just said that the round mound of profound needs an oven before a dishwasher. That's you. You don't I take. I take a lot of objection to round and mound. That's the profound part. Pretty good. That's the best thing you've ever had happen to
you. You're the round mound of profound. The mavericke Scar used me last night. You don't have an oven. This is our I want to go to break. This is our tweeter of the day. I'm writing that down. I have some names written now. I'm trying to keep okay. He's got a whole whizz that he's gonna get to the round man day profound. Coming up next, we'll review the Ironclall we saw at the world premiere of the Big Movie, one of the biggest movies in the nation. We all
saw it last night, a month before it even comes out. We won't spoil it for you, but we'll discuss some takeaways that we had next. On ninety seven, one Freak
