This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one The Freak. All right, it's the Scuttle but brought to you by Parker University. I'm Kevin, that's Danny Mike JJ and in thirty minutes we've got something special for you. First of all, a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Modest Mouse and the Pixies the concert happening in junet to It or Music Factory. But
also a little brief history of the boy band scene in Dallas. And I have been waiting on the Dallas Observer or d magazine Dallas May someone to write a piece on this or something, because you know, justin Timberlake's hosting, he's the musical guest on Saturday Night Live Tomorrow night, he released a new song and it had me thinking earlier in the week about boy bands who had got big and then one guy broke out, and you know, there's a
little history of that, but there was a boy band in Dallas that was kind of popular. Danny's got the background, Danny's kind of the music scene veteran of the show here and that'll be coming up at eight o'clock, nine o'clock, we'll have our wrestling insider Brody here to talk about one of those shocking crime cases I've ever seen, involves wrestling and Vince McMahon plus Royal Rumble happening tomorrow, and we got a little show Bett happening that's at nine o'clock.
I don't even know how we're gonna read some of that Vince McMahon's story. Yeah, don't let Brody just read no, no, but it's uh, I just say the word defecate, isn't it, Yeah, defecate. I'm gonna tell you about the plane in Addison in a second kind of wild story, and there's some audio from inside the cockpit. But first, oh, don't look at me. There's everyone thinks everything's a bit. This is
a bit. But first I would tell you Today at eleven thirty five on the Bit and Skin Show, they're having a chiefs guy on to talk about the you know, AFC Championship game, but they're they went in there and recorded it as Carl Spoon and Rational Bill from the fake show The Sports Inferno.
Carl Spoon kind of sounds like Colin Coward. Rational Bill might be from Guam and he does not have an opinion ever, and here's a little promo clip for that coming up at eleven thirty five today on The Beninskan SHOWJJ, we popped me up herere You like Andy Reid? I do. I love Andy Reid. He brought me much happiness. He was kind of a washout in Philadelphia. I never could get him over the hump. Why does it work there, Joe, Because we have Patrick Bleeping Mahomes. Man, We've
got the best quarterback that's ever walked the earth. For the rest of Patrick Mahomes's career, we will be competitors for the Super Bowl. This is good. And when you brought the heat there, I felt the hot lava. But when you said bleeping, it kind of made it to more PG thirteen than we want. Now, we could go in and bleep that out, but I'd rather you actually drop the F bomb and assuming that was the bomb you were going to drop, and then we would edit it out and then
all of that will have much more spice. All right, cool? Yeah, I didn't want to assume, So sounds good. I'll redo it. Let's hear your randiest cussword three two one. Because we've got Patrick Mahomes, the greatest quarterback and athlete to ever walk the face of the planet. We've got that offensive mastermind and Andy Reid to unlock Patrick Mahomes' ability, and the Chiefs are going to be Super Bowl contenders for the rest of Patrick Mahomes's career.
Oh this is really good stuff. You were right on the edge there of too many cuss words and man of body mouth. But that was great. That was great. Let's do the Inferno and three two one and Joe Jo. Yeah, I'm gonna do the count that will do Joe all three together? Oh together? Oh my bad? That's all right, all right, stay with it. Three two one and fur big Yours is better than hours? Okay, God, don't miss a Joe. You seem like a
good sport. You do realize that when they do these things, that these things can they can have these poor schleps on the phone for upwards of an hour. I get so tense listening to it. Christina was over editing it last night and it took it took over an hour of work to trim it down. And here a little mini teaser. I know that not skin Who's he? Who's he? In this? Carl Spoon. Carl Spoon made interview Carl Spoon took a phone call from his doctor. Okay, boy, you
just sold that good even more than that promo. Maybe wait one time eleven Yeah, skin show Sports infer Okay, So this story is kind of wild. Twenty three year old Logan James. He's a student pilot at the ATP Flight School in Addison, the Addison Airport or near the Adis Airport and uh on Wednesday night, he took off from the Addison Airport and before we get into more details, I want to play you audio of him flying and sending
a message to the air traffic controllers. Addison Tower, Kurt Jack six fifty five is actually going to depart to the east common out through the clouds and then just gonna head outside of everything. And about right now you'll probably realize that I'm not gonna listen to Yell's instructions and I'm just heading the east Texas. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pull the Calm one deer Koit breaker and the
Compera circuit breaker right soon as soon as I am. Keith in my Kurchak six fifty five, Odison Tower, Sagan kur Trek six fifty five out of the tower ker Trak six fifty five Audison tower. Okay, now that he's pulled diffuses to both comms. Yeah, that's tense. And you know this is the part I think it's quite short to be Yeah about right now you'll probably realize that gonna listen to Gell's instructions. And so the plane crashed in
an open field up in Fannin County. And this is about eighty miles from here, and it's nine miles away from the town Telephone, Texas, which is real small town, very real or is it? I don't know. Plane was assessin one seventy two. James's father told CBS eleven that he grew
up in North Carolina. He graduated from UTD in Richardson Plane Richardson border, Richardson probably and uh, I mean I'll live what very like a straight away from it, Yes, Richardson. A social media post from logan James from the past that after graduated at UTD planned to go to flight school and work to earn a spotfying for a legacy carrier such as Delta American or FedEx.
The speculation is there investigating on this is suicide. It was kind of framed as a stolen plane, because yeah, he was at flight school and he took it and just went. And then you hear the audio, there's like, I'm not gonna follow your instructions. Now, if he was trying to get somewhere, steal a plane and get somewhere, I guess that's possible, But the thought is that he just did himself in. So was there any history, like mental illness or any I'm not sure on that. So until
that radio transmission, everything was normal. Probably not because they like, why are you up there? You don't have all the receipts I was asking because was that part you say, stolen plane? That's why I guess I don't get was that part of his training? Was he on a but he wouldn't be up there to buy him? So yeah, I think he wouldn't be there by himself. And I mean it was he took the plane, so yeah, I guess he still technically he stole the plane, right, but
obstly too. By the time his voice doesn't sounding there's a guy going for a joy ride. You know, that sounded like someone who was done with life. That's real dark, but I mean it's really they're still investigating this it's kind of hard to tell, but man, wild story in that story. I mean that happened Wednesday night, like literally from where we are broadcasting right now. I mean he's been over there, right, I mean it is it's under a mile away from here. Yeah, I know it was
a small plane. But the Air Traffic Control FAA whatever, they've got the capabilities and technology to be able to track the you know, the the meat of the gauges on the plane and altitude and and speed and trajectory and flight path and all of that. Shouldn't that somewhere be recorded or maybe because this is like a student plane or a smaller plane, that they're not able to retrace his steps, I mean, and his choices in the cockpit. I saw the flight path, I said, I mean what you're saying is a
little more advanced, like the communicating with him or navigating well colms. But there's still a way to track that plane and what's actually happening in the cockpit, right. But I would I wonder if that's that is in play for all all forms of flight, you know, and not just bigger commercial I did see the flight path, and it's kind of I mean, he went up and he got It's almost like he had a he said east Texas,
but he went almost like northwest a little bit. So I'm saying, like when it's when he took off, and I'm looking at the altitude on this flight tracker too, you can kind of see it. I mean, he's hardly ever got above ten thousand feet, so that I just looked it up and enough time to read this Forbes article, obviously, but I wonder what the quest for pilotless airplanes looks like. You know, we talk about our vehicles all the time, but the chaos on the roadways is infinitely more right
complex than your feet away from another another vehicle at all times. It seems like, wouldn't you think pilotless air travel has got to be I mean, look, aren't they kind of already for the most part. Probably, Yeah, I'm doing it, but not I mean, I guess, not takeoff and landing right, which we've always been told. Yeah, I'm just skimming this article because it says Forbes pilot Nope, no pilot, no problem.
Here's how soon self flying planes will take off? And obviously I haven't read all this, but many in the aviation industry self flying planes to be carrying passengers by the end of this decade. Jeez, I guess still having a pilot there. But I don't know, I don't, I don't know, But that just seems like a fairly logical, more realistic step to human less vehicle operation than every car. But hell, we have cars. We have
cars right now. The ubers that are driverless in Dallas, they're trying, they're trying with semis to until they all get to a four way stop sign at the same second, and they sit there forever, just kind of no, no, you go no, no. You like that video what was the name of the the GM company cruise when you saw that that viral video that went out on UH in Austin, when they all, like you said, piled into one intersection, just it looked like it looked like electric football
electric. They all just got to oscillating. I want to quickly do the story. Then we're transition talking about these football games. On Sunday, there's a Colorado pastor and he has in a crypto scheme and here he is going to YouTube to apologize for being in a crypto scam. And I think it's weird when a pastor blames God. The charges are that Caitlin and I pocketed one point three million dollars, and I just want to come out and say
that those charges are true. So there's been one point three million dollars that's been taken out of I think it was a total three point four million. But out of that one point three half a million dollars went to the I R S and a few hundred thousand dollars went to a HOMY model that the Lord told us to do. So how did this fit? Okay, that's what the taxes. So I really didn't take that much and that's been two forget about that. Half a couple of hundred thousand. Did the kitchen and
bathrooms? That is perfect? The Lord told us to remodel the house. Perfect. But out of that one point three half a million dollars went to the I R S and a few hundred thousand dollars went to a HOMY model that the Lord told us to do. So how this whole thing started as the Lord told us in twenty one to walk away from our marketing company and he said, I'm going to do a new thing, and then he took us into this cryptocurrency. Well, that cryptocurrency turned out to be a scam.
Well, as money is coming in, we would be sewing it. And at first it was one hundreds of dollars, and thousands of dollars, then tens of thousands of dollars. When he would come in, we'd tied. We sew more money would come in, and so we were just always under the impression that God was going to provide, that the source was never ending, that God was doing a new thing, and that we had nothing
to worry about. We sold a cryptocurrency with no clear exit. We took God out his word and sold a cryptocurrency with no clear exit, And so the prosecutors have to take that and say, these people willingly sold a cryptocurrency with no clear exit. What we're praying for and what we're believing for still, is that God is going to do a miracle. God is going to work a miracle in the financial sector. God is going to work on your
good the financial sector. I am gonna go hang out at financial sector wherever that is and wait on that miracle to happen. Aren't people of faith dude hearing those comments, just going dude, why what are you doing? Well? But I mean, let me tell you that the voice you were hearing that wasn't God, it was the other G word, greed. Yeah, stop, just stop. They're not going to stop. Yeah, and you know who died, who died on the cross greed son jail because they're going
to have to go there. Shoot, shoot because the money shooter. Shoot. There's a big football games happening this weekend. A few hundred thousand on a home remodel that God told us to do. A few the Lord and just flippantly throw out a few hundred thousand, as you know, said the Lord told us to do. God's been wanting a new kitchen and that's why. Yeah, God wants me to have the Japanese toilet with a warm seat in the auto. Had a vision for a more open floor some shway is
God's big concern today. Sometimes, Ever, grat marrying got my wife a more open floor plan. Have a home remodel to that could just pool and pagoda. Ever, keep up the good work, grifters, Yeah, keep the good work, you brainwashed people that don't pay taxes. Terrible God. That was it for the scuttle butt for today. Thank you Parker University for doing that. That was good, dude, real good history of boy bands in the city of Dallas, plus plus your chance to win tickets Sea Modest
Mouse and the Pixies. So this weekend we have a championship Sunday. You guys, this real quick. All teams involved in Championship weekend. You have your Ravens, your Chiefs, your Lions, your forty nine Ers. Okay, this is first half scoring differential throughout the year. So how much do you get up on teams that kick their ass? Uf? Here Ravens number one plus one forty two, they've all of these games they've had in hand all year. Number three is the forty nine Ers plus one O eight.
Number four is the Lions plus eighty one. Number five is the Chiefs at plus seventy five. Number two your Dallas Cowboys. Hey, so of the five teams, the one that's not on Championship weekend, that's five teams in one stab, which is you know, first half scoring whatever. But imagine beeting up that many points and the Cowboys are number two and they just couldn't get there. Oh my god, they're cursed. They are They're not They're
just not good enough. Then I don't know what it is, Ravens Chiefs will be the two o'clock matchup on Sabery else and it's a three and a half point line. Ravens are your favorites I got for you. Oh for the Chiefs. Teams to beat Josh Allen in the playoffs are zero to four straight up in the next game. So the Bengals lost the next game. Last year, the Chiefs two years in a row in nineteen and twenty. I'm sorry, yeah, yea yeah, Chiefs in twenty one to twenty and
then nineteen Houston. So that's not a good sign for the Chiefs. What do you read into that? I read into that that it's random and it's not a big sample size. I don't understand what the connection is. So you you played the Bills and beat them, but your next game you lose. What are you saying? A close, exhausting game with the Bills, sure, so much more exhausting than any other game you played in the NFL entire year, while the Ravens have an extra day of rest and beat the
Texans thirty four to ten. Maybe something to that. I'm not surprise. The Chiefs beat the Bills and it was kind of you know, it felt surprising because the Bills were hot and the Chiefs the shine is not is off them more than it has been the last few years, and they were at home. Yeah, no, I know, but they were really good. They look like a Super Bowl contendent. I mean, the Chiefs could win the Super Bowl. You know they can, and that doesn't it didn't really
feel like that all year. I mean, there were times when I didn't think they were one of the top three or four best teams in the AFC. They look broke from a lot of the years. How many times, though, do you see dynasty teams that when they kind of start, they just smoke the regular season, and then they get that first win and they kind of established themselves and then they learn how to kind of, you know, take cut corners at times when they need to. They have that experience
to know when you don't have to go balls out all the time. We actually know when not to go balls. And that only works for teams with established coaching staffs and established quarterbacks who know when to have the throttle at sixty percent, leave it there, and then Wendy to hammer the throttle all the
way down, which would be what they did against Buffalo. I just I mean Mahomes is magical and and that he was such a cool, steady hand in that game against the Bills. Like to bet against him is just it's dumb. It is dumb. But that said, I think I think Baltimore is is a different little beast than the Buffalo is what the line three and a half? Three and a half? I hate to I'm with you, Michael Do as well as I did taking the points with the Chiefs in Buffalo,
which ended up being correct. But I think I'm leaning Baltimore and I think I'm expecting them to cover that number. I will say Mahomes in the playoffs when he takes off running, you know, like because what we just said, when the throttle's only at sixty two percent, I hang running out there and getting killed. Baltimore covers the hell out of receivers and they sacked the QB a lot, and the X factor would be Mahomes cutting out and doing his prancing run. I saw a dude with a helmet on it,
just a generic football outfit doing a Mahomes impression on a field. He's just strutting around like there's a lot of sass to Mahomes, even the way he walks and runs and then when he does the bring the next play in with his hand. You know, Mahomes a big physical specimen who still has a Merton Hanks style link to him as well, even though he's ripped. It's very strange. But he's also kind of got a little belly. You know. It's just like not like gets bad. It's just he's just I don't
know. He just say he's ripped. He's very love he is I want you. I think it's the Ravens dude. And the reason I say this a being at home b. They finally went out and did something I've been begging them to do since they've had Lamar Jackson is go get him wide receivers and Zay Flowers is a baller. Odell Beckham gives them something here and there. We'll see if Mark Andrews will play still. I think questionable on that. In Isaiah, it's that's been the gossip, but I don't know.
I haven't seen an injury report, so I should check that. And he probably won't give him much because he's coming back after two months off. I'm going, uh, I'm going there with and Also, the Chiefs have offensive linemen missing Joe Thuney or Tony that think they come him. It's spelled Thony. I'm going Ravens. I think it's finally time for Lamar. Yeah, I love that too, So I love it too. I love the Lamar fingers up. But blank you all and win it all? Doesn't it?
Isn't it weird to see a line in this game of three and a half and think that's I think that's almost too many points. Like that's the other thing is giving the Chiefs getting points. That is very hard to perspective. Yes, but just watching it, I'm going Ravens to Yeah, Danny Ravens, you're doing it too. I don't know, man, I do think it's too many points. I think this one line I might come down to
a field goal NICs. I think it'll be closed for sure. This Wou's the three and a half that disturbs me because I could see this thing going absolutely down to the wire, going one way or the other. Forty nine or seven and a half points in that way, I'll take the Chiefs. What forty nine or seven and a half point favorites? Five thirty on Fox?
Have we had an NFC championship that was the first game. They always get prime time, well the last few years it's been on the West Coast, so that's why they're doing it. I think because they forty nine ers. I think I could be wrong on that, but I don't know, man, I can't. I can't recall a time when the NFC let off the the That's what I'm saying. Has the NFC ever played the first game? I mean they used to mix and matter too, so I think they
mix a match. But it's like lately they've been in California because the forty nine ers have home field every year. It seems like seven and a half point line Golf has lost five straight against the forty nine ers. The lines defense has gotten torched their last five games by Mayfield, by Stafford, by f and Nick Mullins twice. The pass by Dak all year has got has
given up a lot. The only thing that gives me hope for Detroit is if they stopped the run a little bit and brock Purty finally proves why he was the last player picked in the draft that year. I've been saying that for two years. I know they can stop the run. Detroit's good against the run, bad against the pass. So yes, that has to be their game plan is like all right, rock party show us. And he's looked kind of shaky. He looked he made like five great throws against the
backers about ten really bad ones. Yeah, spread seven and a half. Ooh, here's the thing to you. When Deebo's fifty to fifty to play, he'll play right there. You see him in Uh Gardner Johnson is it. They're going at it a little bit. Oh yeah, Gardner Johnson is a bulldog. They're going at it hard on on Twitter with videos talking ass. I love Chelsea Gardner Johnson. Yeah, he seems fun. Oh I'm taking the Lions and the points seven and a half. Yep. I think
I think they get smoked US forty nine or time. Yeah, no, that's fair. And it feels like a you know, Ravens forty nine Ers super Bowl, which it's felt like four months. Yeah, I think the fairy tale, you know, I think it will come to an end. I think the forty nine Ers win the game, but I'm gonna take seven and a half points. I think Dan Campbell is so aggressive and it's worked well for him thus far, and Kyle Shanahan is so conservative and it's nearly
burned his ass. I mean they could have They could have lost to the Packers for a lot of reasons, but one of which was how extremely conservative he is at the end of the half that that almost burned him hard. Now, Dan Campbell's aggressiveness could bite him in the ass and lead to a back door cover or whatever. See Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, but I think they're a legit good team and I'll take seven and a half.
Yeah. I think another thing, I go back to the real quick forty nine ers when they're at home or Kyle Shannon five and oh, I think at home in the playoffs. The only thing is when Deebo doesn't play at a wild number, the movie doesn't matter, nine and ten when he doesn't get a target, so they're forty four and thirteen when he gets at least one target. He is so important in their offense. But dude, it's
that defense is rough on the back end. On the set back, they can stop the run, and if they focus on that, try to, you know what, shut down McCaffrey, But try to minimize McCaffrey and say Rock purty. Let's see it. The Packers couldn't stop McCaffrey at all last week, and if they would have then maybe there. I mean, there's two dropped interceptions that hit him in the hands and the missed field goal. They're the key thing. But you know, McCaffrey I think had three rushing
Touchdownds. I still think it's forty textter say, the scriptwriters definitely want the Eminem Taylor Swift super Bowl. Oh and there is part of me that absolutely wants the Chiefs and the Taylor Show in the super Bowl. But the NFL logo said purple and red. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers told us months ago. Coming up next, you're gonna hear something that's kind of unearthed here because justin Timberlake's hosting Sarah Out Live and we were thinking about the boy bands and then
the guy breaks out he's huge. But Danny, who's been in the music scener in this town for decades, is gonna tell us a little bit about the forgotten boy band in Dallas that nearly made it big to the top, and we will hear their hit song, at least underground hit song. That's next on ninety seven Won the freak
