If you're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one the free you're gonna have to put in a troubles I have to press my on button for my mic. You need to turn into trouble ticket thirty times. Yeah, it's thirty times. And right when I'm about to give up on it, it pops on. If you lick your finger before you hit the button, sometimes that'll get it going anything. I don't. I lick my fingers all the time. Gross. That's Kevin Turner, Dannybale's, Mike Troid, JJ Jackson.
It's down Beat It seven thirty four. If you want to participate in this show with a chance to win tickets to an upcoming Dave Matthews band concert, you can do it in about thirty minutes, maybe twenty five. You want to call in like twenty twenty five minutes. It's the return of the Eliminator. It's a very exciting, very simple game that Kevin says it has been improved from last time, and I wouldn't even I thought that's possible because
it was about perfect. But it's funny and if you want to play, you can play with us, play with me, Danny and we'll all go to war. You can maybe win tickets. And if you're one of those, I don't want to go see Dave Matthews movie. I don't want to hear from you who else has given out free tickets. So if you like
that, you probably know someone who likes Dave. Yeah. Well, we just don't need any of that negativity towards the Dave Matthews Band today, when they were kind enough to give us five pairs of tickets to give away. I think you're so tender. I think you're fine. They're one of America's most popular bands. Just scarred for life. No, they'll get kicked in the Cajonis since I was fourteen. You just be kevin, that's all you need to be, and you'll be fine. If you gonna win tickets,
call us here in a little bit. It's gonna be fun. The Eliminator today. We're also not scared to do a damn wrestle many a preview on this station. All right, we'll do that at nine o'clock. And it ain't just us because we don't know anything about it. We got Brody coming in. Yeah. The wing Nut off the top rope a popular demand.
Yeah, listeners want more Brody. I know every time he's on, they're like, someone give Brody a show, And Lord knows, I've tried, if I had any pull around here, you have a Saturday wrestling hour every single weekend, and I think they'd be awesome. People like wrestling, but you don't have it. No, I don't. I've suggested it enough times, No dice, But nine am, tell a friend that likes wrestling, right, if you're listening you don't care, I don't know, text your
buddy and be like, these idiots are cann do it. Wrestle Mania preview with Brody. It's gonna be fun. That's gonna be nine am. Eight am is the eliminator. Seven point thirty seven am is the scuttle Bud. And I think we should start today with audio. Let's take a look back at the week that was in the news, right, and that the best play is that the way we should start. I think we should. I mean having options I could do, but I think we should start there.
This is what happened in the news this week. Drag race. Who done it was Travis Kelce's Super Bowl teammate behind the wheel then stranded on an island and can join twins' secret wedding. Then dogs eat car, plus phony tree trimmers, plus pink pog and a speakeasy dicking finger blast. I think it sounds pretty good. You think a finger blast sounds pretty good, Julie, No, it's talking about the chicken, Jeff. That was an HR violation. What you did? Talk about violations? Son of a bitch? Then
blown away by a tornado and she made it to as on time. Totally crazy? Whatever happened to singer Ponnie Tyler Ben the hole in the wall, gag and brick attacks, plus eats a lie, the porch pirate wrapped in a garbage bag. Then see the babies? What I think every week? I could claim that's the best ever, but I think that one is the best. Save the baby. Then did he say plus dog eats car? Yeah, dog, he eats car? What about and then ping pong?
Then huh the porch pirate wrapped in a garbage bag? Brick attacks? What is going on? Addition, it's the greatest show because they are like serious too when they throw it to the correspondence out in the field, they're very serious. Do you ever watch the whole shows? Never it's just the first there's no reason. Yeah, well, how much of the car did dog eat? All? Right? Now we need to follow up? Yeah, dog ate car? Can you imagine how underwhelming the stories must be compared to
the teases? Oh my god, Yes, that's right out the gate. Right out the gate, you get drum phill, I guess you. And there's deb hosted by you. Hear it again. I'm absolutely fine hearing it all again. Time drag race? Who done it? Was? Travis Kelsey super Bowl teammate behind the wheel, then stranded on an island and conjoined twins, secret wedding. Then dogs eat car plus phony tree trimmers, plus ping
pong and a speakeasy finger blast. I think it sounds pretty good. You think a finger blast sounds pretty good, Julie, No, it's talking about the chicken, Jeff. That was an HR violation. What you did, talk like son of a bitch? Then blown away by a tornado and she made it to class on time, Plus a lid blitz frenzy, whatever happened to singer Funny Tyler. Then the hole in the wall gag and brick attacks, plus it's a lie, the blood wage pirate wrapped in a garbage bag.
And then the Bob that's wonderful, That is amazing. One more time, How sweet, Julie, cause you're talking about some delicious meal it was she's talking about the chicken. No, she's talking about the new ballpark rejected food item, the chicken finger glass they didn't make the cab glass. That
sounds pretty good. And then there's keVs Hand. I'll just say that that was last Friday's segment with them, and Julie got everything that she deserved in that segment because she took things a lot of different directions, talking about how she wants to be a Guilf one day. But she didn't know that it was Grandma. She thought it was a girl. Oh well, and I was like, well, that's weird. The elf part still held true there, right, Yeah. Uh. I feel like there's so much innocence with
Julie. But maybe she's just winding all of us up at all the time. I always wonder too, And I think that's part of the thing, is like we're in our head about it because and then Grooves just barraged her with all of her jokes, I mean, all of her drops of just out of context, the things she said, out of context. Dirty Julie. She's the one who came on our airwaves and said Mexi dips and chicks chips the wrong way. I really did it too, though. Let's move on. Oh man, good job, good job, good job. She
Rice decided that he would go ahead and speak now. And he was driving the Lambea. We do nothing, so there obviously found proof. Yeah, so his little open ended you know, I take responsibility my role for my role without saying what his role was. The lawyers put that out there. Clearly proof was found that he was driving. So now he has to cop to it. What a weird, just little game. So the legal world, well, yeah, because they figured out what this is everything, what
what hurts you the least? Or I suppose, but it was a least a rented Lambeau car, right, and part of that agreement, I think he had to be the one driving at all times. So they may have just done the math on all right, you're gonna get in deep s for all this, but at least you're not gonna have to buy this two hundred and fifty thousand dollars car. It might just be a math equation hitting run, but you're insured. Right, as long as you're driving, you're not
fully responsible. And then maybe like plus, look the video, they're gonna know you're in the car. Like it's not worth saying you weren't in it. But it took him four days to decide all right, he was in the car. His attorney, Royce west Is he had a fifteen minute press coverage to day. He said that Rice has reached out to the victims and will do everything in his power to make everything right. He said his young made a mistake. The twenty three year old's never done anything or never been
involved in anything like this. Okay, is that true? You know what? I don't I don't know. Remember I actually thought there was something from back in college. But I could be thinking of another guy because there's you know, all that stuff comes out before the tell you what kind of unfair to all that stuff that comes out too? Did jimmy perception of but you can't leave you know that everyday man is thinking, Oh, he's an NFL player, he's rich, he can afford this. This is this is just
a scratch in the surface. No, not really, this is a guy on a rookie contract. This case could break him second round pick. Yeah, absolutely, especially when you've rented a Lamborghini and you were leasing and renting a corps or or own the corvette. Uh. Total guarantees of his for his contract is three point five million. Yeah, you know, and if you're in half of that, buy if you have to buy a quarter million dollar do oosuv? That is a well And then think about the restitution he's
going to have to dish out to these victims. This is going to end in a lot from some civil suits. Yeah, he's gonna have to pay it, pay them off medical bills. He's got medical bills if there are any. You got to pay your attorney. Not only not to mention the guaranteed money that he got, he's only probably after tax is an agent is only going to clear half of that. So guys, maybe got you know, a contract worth about a million and a half dollars guaranteed, Go catch
a hundred balls with Patrick Mahomes next year. This could absolutely break him right now. Yeah. Well, well, yeah, you don't drive one hundred and forty and it's North Central Expressway. It's six point twenty on Saturday. Aymen, what in the world are we doing? Man? So yeah, good to finally know I want to do I think I want to do this just because it is Friday and it's kind of a new music day, right, new music drops. I'm not gonna beat you that guys down too much,
but there are three things out of it. Is this billboard, Kevin, It's not billboard Billboard, Kevin, there's no need to do bill board billboard. Can it's on the Billboard Chartshet Black Keys dropped a new album today, Torn on how I feel about them post like, I think they're a good band, right, but I just think they're almost turning into like the Foo Fighters, and like, hey, we put the same album out all the time, but I just kind of like it. There was a each
album they've had over the last ten years. I'll sit there and go, man, there's like four great songs on this album. So this is not a bad per in today's Oh absolutely not. This is this is Nowhere by the Black Keys dropped today. They come up Witch to know. I'm gonna pack my bats to know, gonna tell my friend to know. I've been
funny to know because then it was better than game. The nice Spear in the out of Spain, don't disco be so get it to you into the top of the wind going that's fine because this is all right, a little driving music. Maybe you're maybe you're bowling. I think that's good for bowling. I don't want to hear that when I'm bowling. I need my Rihanna
when I'm bowling. Their album covers, uh just bowling. Okay, Now, we last Friday did preview the Beyonce album as it dropped, and I had a little drive over the weekend to the hometown, so I listened to the whole thing, and I did. We didn't play the best song on the album, the best song on the album. We played like two interludes. We we played two interstitials things that aren't even really songs. Yeah, we're just real quick about it. We didn't know what we were playing.
It just drops, so we're just kind of like hitting playoff. We yelled at such God people did hammer that. I also took Simon for a long walk and listened to i'd say eight eighty eighty five percent of the album. I've never in my life listened to a Beyonce album in full or anywhere close to it. I mean nothing not to like you gotta go out not like it. Yeah, you have to actively be trying. And it's not my
whatever genre. I don't know the countryside or I just don't know Beyonce, but catchy as hell fun really well and I think this is the best song on this album and it's coming out. When are you gonna play? So sweet? I give you kisses in the back seat, A whisper secrets in the backy, you make me cry, you make me happy happy my lists to consider tells it. Then you stomp it out out and now then what's going You kiss my neck? We've been hurting, but it's happy out.
Yeah. I think it's great. I love it. And it takes another couple of parts, a couple of sections that are a little difference that I like. You know what it sounds like to me? It sounds like kind of sounds like Fleetwood Mac. Okay, it sounds like something that was familiar. Yeah, that probably is it really dry Fleetwood Mac drums, and I don't know, there's something really cool about that. It's kind of like for
any album, it takes a few spins. But yeah, and I probably won't, but I think if I listen to this whole album, like three times, I might listen to it like a lot more for the rest of my life, like at times, Catch You as Home Man Outstanding, Yeah, that's Bodyguard, like that one Beyonce Well talking Heads, Yeah, right, the tribute album coming out and I still don't know when, but they've been kind of secretly just kind of here's one. Here's one bunch of artists
or doing the Talking Heads tribute album. Paramore did the first one with burning down the House. Kind of a guy. He just did a uh. I think he just did a thing with Doja Cat. His name is Tezo Touchdown. He did making Flippy Floppy, which is great. But today's new one comes from someone I haven't heard about in a long time. Lord is gonna be on this Talking Heads tribute album. And here's the third thing that's been dropped from that album. I think you guys will like this. Oh
dangerous the money by thinking about that, that's everything. We all just think about it, our grandparents had. If someone's a million multi millionaire as a result of Billy big Mouth, think about Tony Soprano being haunted by that thing. Yeah, the move It's head didn't a j get it for him for Christmas? Yeah, hated. He hated that thing because it was big pussy. Yeah. Yeah, thank god that he drowned. They put in the bottom of the drink and drowning. But yeah, we're in the cement boots.
Well, let's clear the clear the decks and make room for what's coming up next. If you want to go see the Dave Matthews Band on June first, on four, oh, I'll get hey, you say with me, big boy, I want to go four. What day of the week is this weekend? Seven? Let's go. Put me down.

You are alive in the United States of America or abroad, life's all right man, eight in the morning. It's a down beat, Kevin Danny Mikey JJ at Rogers on Twitter. I don't know where else you put it, but he dropped the video of the Luca meet and greet. Oh oh, because dude, all week when they were pubbing
that, I was mean on what does it look like? I guess I thought it'd be in one of those like the little tequila club down under the thing, Yeah, but it was less formal than that. But they have the two guys who won and skin walking them down, sit in front row during shoot around and there's like kind of nobody in there, so they're just wide eyed, and then they kind of go to the belly of the Beast down the hallway on the way to the locker room, and there's Luca.
I don't know if you want to see how it looks. It's kind of neat. That is cool, the little time lapse version of it. Yeah, And then because it's gotta be so ea, like Luca, how's it work? You know, they're like, all right, I'll grab Lucas. Somebody had to grab Lucas. His skin is sort of out front, but you know they knew he was, they told him, but it's not like Luca's thinking about it. Oh yeah, comes over, taps them up. They get a picture, and then Lucas signed a couples it looks like in
a basketball card. And then it's kind of over probably one minute, you know, definitely quit. Yeah, but the two guys are still kind of like fro you know, like, yeah, just a picture and assigned jersey. That's money. Ben said too that these are guys who only they came to the station because of this contest they were happening. They didn't, you know, and now they're in and that it after a few days, they
love it, you know. He got out the part of the video where where Ben nervously saw Luca and treated him like the guy in the Ella Cool J commercials Hi, I'm Keith and puts his hand out there for a shake. Hi, I'm Keith. Turn around, be calm, don't say anything. The best ad campaign going anyway, it's I don't know where else it is. Or if it's on Instagram, probably is, but at Ben Rodgers
on Twitter as or I saw it. So if you want to see what the Luca Meet and greet gifted by ninety seven won the freak to two fans, let's right, you can check it out. It was very, very good.
