Transcript

This is the downbeat. On ninety seven one in The Freak, all right, Drew Pearson the original eighty eight calls in nine oh five to day picks with Glenn's that going all Tamer. Drew Pearson him, I want to talk about Cowboys. Let him pick a couple games. I figured we would tee him up with Giants and Eagles. Let him pick the Eagles after his famous NFL Draft moment from years past. Make sure you're following all the Freak socials. At ninety seven one The Freak, I posted on TikTok a clip of

me playing wide receiver from back to my sophomore year. You posted that, yeah, just to promote the Drew Pearson interview that he just did. Yeah on Twitter? Yes, At ninety seven one The Freak you said yeah no on Twitter, on TikTok and Instagram right now? Okay, all right, I'll get on Twitter when I've seen this already. If y'all want to see number forty two wild and you definitely want to check this account out. Okay, it's on Twitter too now, so everyone's got what they needed. Would

you put it in your stories? Now? Here's two reasons, actually three reasons why you need to know the number two and four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one because you can text or call in at any time, but also MAS tickets tod eight o'clock you'll call and tell JJ your

area of expertise. And at nine o'clock we do need you as a picker in Picks with Glens, where we picked two games and we have invited the celebrities to play Danny's and two a half year old son Malcolm nearly three, Malcolm to pick games. The standings, the celebrities have the lead, so Drew Pearson's got a lot on the line here. Malcolm in second place, I'm sorry, the Glenn's as well at seventeen twelve and one, tied with

the celebrities and Malcolm in second place at sixteen and fourteen. The rest of us are just there. So celebrities and the callers are tied for the lead. Yeah, and Malcolm is hot on their trail, and the person leading amongst us the actual people around here are is Malcolm. Yes, so it's so ridiculous for all of you out there. The fire trucks to win every week, car washes, car wash cah. So yeah, Drew, Pierson nine o'clock. That'll be fun. Let's do the scuttle butt right now.

Man, there was some really dumb stuff happening at targets. Was a Target or Wally World? I said, I meant Target? Damn it? Kevin, Well, it's weird because you know when you know, when you moved to a place, you used to go to a Walmart for a long time, and then you moved to a place and that there's a there's a target closer, and then you start going to Target. But it's a huge red bull'seye. I know. But it's just a store to you, to me. For some people, it's a promised land. Yeah. So people were

lining up. This was technically yesterday morning at three am, and targets all over the nation there's multiple, so there's one here in town. I saw people lining up outside the doors at three am in the e f and cold for an item, for an item that's dropping that drop today. Do you know what it is? No? I don't, but this for a one item? Can is there any reason for us to play? Should we try? Can we can we play? If you'd like to? Yeah? I can give you some hints if you like them as well. Is it an

elect an electronics device? No? Okay. Is it Taylor Swift related? No? Is it media related at all, like a book record? No? Okay? Is it celebrity rated rated related? No? Is it a piece of furniture no? Is it only at target? Yes, exclusively at target like the Garth Brooks records. Okay, but it's not connected with the celebrity andorsement whatsoever? No? Okay? Clothing uh? No, okay. Is it related to a sports team? No? Edible nope. Consumable you

would consume something I'm fishing for, yes, visually consumable. No, Audibly consumable No, but you would consume consumption would be involved in what you have once you buy this, Okay, it's Is it a cooking appliance? I wouldn't say cooking appliants, but maybe a kitchen appliant to be found in a kitchen, or maybe an on the go appliance. Is it coffee related? Yes it is? Yes, okay, the Neon espresso dropped. No, it is related coffee a special? Oh my god, your machine lasagna machine

related? Lasagna coffee waiting for I give up? You want to give up? Yeah? On everything. There's a frenzy for pink Starbucks Stanley cups. You said it wasn't celebrity related, but pink is on board color. Not the trapeze artist pink. It's the color pink. It's just it's called the Starbucks Pink Stanley Quincher Vacuum stainless steel tumbler, available only in Target stores.

They were first released last May. There's another release in November, and everyone's like, oh my god, panicking because this was a special pink winter edition of the popular cup. And it's called the Gallantines Day Collection. Okay, oh my god. My first thought is die, But then you just said it's called the Gallon's Day Collection. Gallantine's Gallantine's Day. That's awesome. There's a Gallantine's Day and it's a huge cup. You could only buy two per

guest. These are going on auction sites for two hundred and thirty dollars. If you know anyone out there who if if you participated in this badness or no, someone who did call in two one four eight seven seven eight seven one nine seven one, because I got questions like why please someone call in? Or just calling for ten You're into this. Target shoppers are getting trampled for a limited edition Valentine's Day Stanley Cup. Yeah, it's nuts managers at

the Cedar Hill location. So they only had thirty eight of the tumbrs and it sold out real quick. What are they selling them for retail? Forty nine ninety five? Oh my god. They've been spotted on eBay to over two hundred bucks two fifty five on eBay, on Burcari two thirty seven, two twenty five to twenty five. What is wrong with everybody? I'm telling you, man I and we all love a good tumbler, right, but the quality of a tumbler is it's gotta be minimal and whether you get the

yetti. Now, Stanley Cup is the big brand. By the way, if Stanley from Stanley wants to do some endorsing, you can email me at Kevin Turner at iHeartMedia dot com. We'd love to talk about your product more on the air. Okay, So this has nothing to do with hockey. No, No, Stanley is a brand. It's like a tool. This is you. You'll okay, you'll see moms with Stanley cups. That's that's what I've deciphered. Or Stanley, what is it the tool company, like

Stanley Tools. Maybe it is is that logo look right to you? That's what the cup looks like for you. Stanley cups are huge. That's a tool company. Why they're big and smainley foy I I kind of want one, just like because I'm trying to drink a lot of water every day and a gallon. Yeah, they're doing bits because the name of their company is Stanley. Hey, let's make cups. We'll have Stanley cups. Well, maybe they've always made them though, and it's just kind of like an answer

to the This is their version of the yetti. I guess it's absolutely their version of the Yet company was making Stanley cups before Lord Stanley's Cup existed. Well no, but like Kevin the maybe they've always You're right on that far. If they were rocking screwdrivers and Sanders and then they said, you know what, let's do cup. Well, part of their bid on these big forty ouncers is it's thin enough at the bottom. You know what, shut

putting your cup holder. Whatever sales pitch you're gonna use for me on this cup is not gonna be worth what do you want? Audiokay, No, I didn't know one would call in on that. Nobody's gonna want to admit to this too, lined up fifty buck. This is these things retail for forty nine ninety five. Yeah, goodly and line wrapped around the building, and they're limited. They're not going to make any more after these are gone. Not the Starbucks special pink cup for Gallantine's Day. Oh my god.

It's because it's Starbucks, right, that's the big deal here. Maybe you know, I was, this is a nice looking that's the thing that people, some people I think have become. I think you have your fair share of like Starbucks diehards too, though, Oh my god. When they could just go somewhere else if they wanted to and not notice that much of a difference, but they it's got to be Starbucks. I heard Emma Stone say

this. I was listening to the SmartLess podcast. Yeah, same, and she was They're like, what do you need to get by a day? In the trailer? What do you need? And she's like, I need apples and peanut butter because peanut butter gives you a little bit of protein and a lot of joy. And also I need Starbucks. She goes, I could be in a different country with the greatest coffee in the world. I gotta have Starbucks. And then she admitted some milky drink that she gets the

point, and I think, like, there's a lot of people. I think like, that's like, no, that's my jam. I have my rewards app That's where I'm going today. If I don't have it, I'm gonna be a mess and it'll be hell for you. I told you I went to Starbucks over the break and maybe before the break, and it was not nine dollars eight dollars and ninety cents or something. Do you even remember

what you got? Oh? I think it was a caramel machiato because I panicked, and I'm like, I don't know, like a hot coffee, but something delicious. You tell me. You just pointed to a picture. I only have ever ordered the same thing twice at Starbucks, telling them to put a little protein milk in there. See what happens. All I want to do is this transit get bucked up?

You know something about these uh Stanley cups that we're talking about, these Starbucks. These the

hottest item in America right now. Yeah, so people are legitimately absolutely crazy about these Stanley cups. I have a Stanley cup. It's nice. I don't know why I need more than one. But yesterday they were released at the rock Wall Target location and I didn't go, but I had several friends who went and stood in line to try and get this elusive cup, and people, I kid you not, had no idea what was going on. It was madness. I heard one report of people abandoning their kids in order

to get this Stanley mug. And there were at our Starbucks opened or our Target opened at eight am, there were people lined up. There were over forty nine people lined up at like fifty six And people had no idea their kids were supposed to go back to school yesterday because their priority was the Stanley cups. That's all they were thinking about. Yeah, whoa is this a

female thing? Uh? There were men in line, but from my understanding, the men that were in line were there to get cups for their daughters or their wives. So this is a thing that's trending. Is this is this trending? Younger than that? There is this like a high school girl, college girl thing to I live in Rockwall, So in rock Wall, all of our women, well I mean Rockwall moms, you get it, you know, so we get it. Yeah, we totally get it. So but you wish you had one, right, but you're not going to

go wait line and do all this. I don't care about anything, and oh my god, well marry us. You married the down beat because we don't care about anything either. That's literally our quote. I don't care about my husband's pretty lucky. But I stood in line for was the safe dollars Nintendo gaming system that they released back in like twenty seventeen when I was way younger and enjoyed games Queen Play mar Super Mario three on a tiny Nintendo.

but we have the best patients welcome. I always want to go to it. I always want to go to a dentist office where they have better patients. It's true our dinists or garbage, but our patients are amazing. Well, it's hard to have a dadgenist in rock Wall because there's we're the smallest county in Texas. There's not a ton to choose from. Yeah, but there's also a lot of people in Rockwall, and we only let nice people come. Got to behave who's better than Breezy? Did John? Brazy?

Breezy? What would you say if we said we had a special limited edition Gallentine's Day Stanley cup you wanted to put in your hands. I would say, y'all should sell that on Amazon. People are paying bookoos the money for a ridiculous mug. You know, you don't hear Bookoo's much anymore. You know, go to New Orleans and here's a lot of start using old language. We don't have any of the mugs, but this one, this Gallantine's mug, This sounds like a white girl thing. Yeah, oh my god,

We'd love to hear what you have to say about these exciting Starbucks mug that's available now, the pink gallant touch. All right, thank you, Breezy. We appreciate it.

us like? We love you either way? It's cool. That's very interesting. I didn't know anything about that, what you said, And I'm like, all right, but I thought it was a hockey thing. I'm like, why are these women going nuts for a pink hockey themed I don't know what my Stanley cup knowledge. Back when Julie from the Speakeasy two to six was on in the morning, she brought a big, fat Stanley cup, thinking here and it's huge, and tell you it's great because it's fat at

the top, skinny at the bottoms and fitting your cup holder. No, I get it, and practically I'm sure it works. But I'm gonna go get one. Now they're not they're sold out. No, I'm not gonna get this Valentine's Day version. I'm gonna get the pro version. We're ten minutes away from MAVs ticket giveaway Challenge. Time where you will call in and name your area of expertise. Then we'll challenge you on that area of expertise. But I want to invite waterburger Man into the room. Oh nice,

because has launched a limited time menu item. Have y'all seen this? I would love it read to me in the proper way. Let me see if I can locate water Burger Man out in the hallway while I pull up the description of this media. Here it is. I got it for it on my computer. If you'd like to read it. Okay, here it is. Read this, I've highlighted it for you. Water burger Man. Hey, look everyone, I couldn't find a police to park my horse. The

hitching post is in the same spot. Well if somebody took the car space a license plate that said Corveino F's, so I had to park down the street. That's okay, you're here now, welcome to water burger We We're proud to announce a limited time menu item, water Weings. It's a nine piece boneless chicken meal that comes in Buffalo sweet and spicy, honey barbecue, and honey butter wings. What a burger. I hope you lack diarrhea I don't think that's there. Sometimes you have to add what burger man says.

What a burger man's losing his damn mind. I believe that we're entering a chicken renaissance. Now, chickens already, can I leave? Yes? Hey, guyst horse on the head for us. There's a horse outside. I don't know what that's all about. It's one of those it's one of those horses that get free from the new horse carriage laws in town, which I'm like, I've never seen anyone on a horse carriage. And stay tuned for more on that in Dingu's morning news. Yeah, good tease ahead there,

Uh yeah, very quickly. I think there's those leftover stories from yesterday aren't going to read themselves when when when Waburger was sold to Chicago Company, people are this is revealed. There's articles been written about this about how the quality of their burger has dipped a little plummeted. But I do think they've they've started to kind of branch out the menu item and the menu's gotten a little more broad over the years, not like a big no broad and uh a

focus on chicken is what you're seeing at Waterburger. I think you will see this more in the coming years, because there's a bit of a Chicken renaissance happening. You said that twice. I don't know. I mean, do you know how long chicken has been like the one a staple food? Well, if no know, its on TV. There's been a bit of a ham A sance. I mean, John Hammon was in the Morning Show.

He's in Fargo, he's got an animated show coming up. Apple TV just gave him his own show that will be coming out later in the year. There's been a bit of a hammasance we're seeing in the food world. A chicken naissance is the set over or I know it's confusing to some, but you guys have to admit there's been more chicken topics lately than burger topics.

Hot chicken remember when that was the thing two years ago? Okay, couldn't turn your back, couldn't turn it walk around a corner without seeing a Nashville Hot Chicken article thrown at you. He's not wrong, he's just funny. Yeah. No, I think chicken probably maxed out or got to its peak level. If you know it hasn't when you have the chicken sandwich war when Popeyes announced THEIRS and they were going to head to head with Chick fil A

and Chicken Wings. I mean that's been thirty years. No, but it's broadening. Well, where where else can it go? I mean, so Whataburger added wings? That this isn't groundbreaking? It's not not groundbreaking. That's a not not a good point. It's a legendary Texas company that's never done wings, and here they are giving you wings. It's a chicken naissance. I'm right, and I think the people know it. I'm looking out at

traffic right now. You saw a bunch of blinkers flick on. You see that guy right there, he's got a foam finger out for chicken for chicken. Oh oh, the window just got hit by a tomato. That's not good. All right? Coming up next your chance to win MAVs tickets two and four one seven seven seven one. You will tell JJ your area of expertise.
