This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak, Let's go wanna have one? Got a wet one today? Sucks that we're probably go on a terrible commute, but you know, listen to Rik will help you get through it, hopefully. Eight thirty didn't use Morning News. Nine o'clock Mike's Aroy's iHeart Employee performance Review, where we really take a look at Mikey
because man's the one we've all been waiting for. It is the one you tell me Friday reason, you know, kind of looked at it through everyone, through everyone's year this week, but we're gonna get into Mike at nine, dive in, investigate, find out if he's worthy of a return in twenty twenty four. Cowboys Bills Predictions. Eight o'clock we're gonna transport out to the Ghost Pepper Pavilion. Hope you'll join. But right now, let's do this. Got a couple of weird ones for you, Danny Scuttle, but
brought to you by is It Meat. A couple of weird local ones, and then I got something else, so I have a little fun here. But first let's do the weird sad stuff, not sad it's not sad, it's just well, it's sad if you're the person. See yesterday a woman was found dead in her burning vehicle at the walmart off Frankfort and Marsh here in Dallas. And this has happened at like one pm. Yeah, like so middle of the afternoon. So I got a car fire. You used
in the car fire before you know what happens here and there? But firefighters show up and they put out the fire, and they're like, holy crap, there's a body in there. And they say it was a woman who was waiting in the car. Her daughter was inside shopping. The daughter said that her mother's a smoker and has dementia. Oh my god. And she walks outside the store and there her Acura is up in flames. They checked their surveillance video. They don't see anyone going near the car. Show was
crushing a sig. They caught the damn car on fire. Could it maybe fall asleep? Maybe? Yeah? I mean will I don't know how how wuch the dementia park plays into that, but you know the standard, you know, probably a woman who is h said her daughter and her mother. You immediately think younger. This sounds to me, like, if it's a mother with dementia, more of a grandma time. So maybe a mother in her thirties, forties or fifties. Maybe can you imagine in the storage to
grab a couple of things going to Wally World? Mom, just hang out here, I'll be back in a few minutes. We gotta grab some yeah stuff, and you come back out and the cars and flames off, and your dang mommy's inside. I don't like this, Danny, That's a horrible story. Why are you setting the tone of the scuttle Bank all that? I didn't, you know. I was just I fucked on the news last night and they led with it, you know, and I was gonna lead with it. See, I got to. I have to lead with it.
I don't want to. I got another one though. I get it. You're just doing your job, man, No one's here to shoot the messenger, Kevy, Oh, just reading the news, my man, cemetery bomb in Collin County. What is going on in Plano? Dude, Plano is a problem. And for the second eight in a row, we go to our mini segment, What's going on in Plano? What's the deal in Plano? What are you people doing up there with your bombs and your heroin and your sex trafficking. It's all in Plano's. People in Plano, get
it together. Plano. It's the new Florida. We learned that yesterday as well. Yeah, Plano's the home of machine Gun America. I hope there's a store in South Florida called machine Gun America. We just learned. Yeah, I'll stop narrow casting now. Colin County's big broad Scott Cemetery is off County Road one sixty one, which Danny, you go there all the time, and it's one of my biggest weaknesses, Kevin. Going to Scott Cemetery,
someone reported seeing a possible pipe bomb wrapped in black tape. First of all, if you're walking you see an object that you're not thinking it's a pipe bomb unless you know, have good knowledge, or we're in the military. Maybe, or you put it there, or you put it there. As my mom used to always say, the guilty dog always he's barks. First, Kevin, your mom was right. Another person once said, he who smelt it dealt it well. That tells me that Ben Rogers put the
fart machines in the studio. Then maybe Ben Rogers, the pipe bomb at the cemetery. Can you rule it out? You can't roll it out at this point, No, he can't. He's been pretty pissed this week. We'll keep him up on the wall of suspects. Yeah, the gaggle of misfits after the hurricane of weekend shows destroyed the studio. He's been in a foul mood, so who knows he's exacting revenge. By the way, I met Kurt Chase the other night, really Kurt Chuck in person many times at
the Crimbo party. Kurtchase. Yeah, I didn't see big Bulge Bow, but I've met Bow before. Yeah, they can tell Kurt Chase is good. Just speaking of weekend judging here the Automotive Edge show Saturday's on the Free. Did you guys get along? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah it was great. Did he invite you out to some weird out posts for a Hamburger? He did a point at Strip Mall. Stephen goes, now, who's that guy? And I said that's Strip Mall Steve. He goes, oh,
interesting, interesting looking fella. Everybody points at Strip Mall Steve and says, who's that guy? Yeah, what's this a deal? The uh, so the bomb squad gets called in. They determined the object was an improvised explosive device, also known as an i E D, which I thought that was the thing that was like a form of birth control for a i U D. Tough to know so many acronyms these days. He had L O L and B R B and G two G T T y L L M F A O I ED I U D. Don't ever mistake in an i
E D for an i U D. That would be bad news. The i U D seems painful for the woman. I would not want an i U D for men. That's a catheter. Basically, all right, muchugh, But whatever works, it was safely disposed of, and law enforcement says there's no indication of any danger to the public. I read that and threw my hands in the air as I was laying on my couch with my computer
on my chest, typing with my hands up near my neck. As you're uncomfortably nibbling at a plate of nachos that are that's precariously resting on your shoulder so you don't have to use your not have nachos advice, you did, you had shoulder nachos had to be healthy. That's what you had for dinner last night. I have to disagree with law enforcement on this one. I know that's an unpoputable thing to do, but I think I have to.
This time reported that they saw pipe bomb wrapped in black tape, confirmed that it was an improvised explosive device. Put no indication of any danger. Dude, if you were going to test out a pipe bomb that you've created at home, want better places than a cemetery, which can be empty at times. How about drive out of town and I don't know, try it out in a field. You know it's easier just going to the cemetery. You don't have to drive, save some gas to call all the way out there.
Just spend a bunch of money on a pipe bomb. I can't afford gas. Well, you didn't spend a ton of money. You made it. I know we have to buy the material things you bought from radio shack right now. You went to home depot man did the Walt White homemade bomb the walkie talkies, so there's no indication of any danger to the public. I am just Kevin. I'm just Kevin, But I would have to issue a severe bomber for Colin County. It's not a threat. Don't mistake that
for a bomb threat. Just be vigilant. Yeah, no, because there could be more than one. And I don't want to be right on this. I don't want there to be a bomb that goes off in Colin County or Plano in the next seven days and then everyone is going, oh my god, Kevin was right, he's my news leader. I don't want that. I don't want people bowing down and worshiping me because of my reporting that
I'd be the worst thing. I don't want that. I'm just saying, head on a swivel, eyes open, and if there's any type of explosives that go off in Plano or Colin County over the weekend, you're hurting here. First, you were warned, you were warned. I think that's good, fair, unbiased reporting that you can only get here on ninety seven won the Free You know that's at a premium these days. What's that? Unbiased reporting? Just the news that you need, not agendas coming at you.
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm sure are crowds. Why aren't we crowdfunded? I'm sorry to cut you off. We aren't we crowdfunded. I'm sure level content right here. I'm sure that the police scan the entire area. They were probably looking for other bombs. I mean, can't we just assume that they did their jobs effectively? I think so okay, So maybe it's okay for them to issue a statement saying, hey, we don't perceive
any threat to the public and just take their word for it. Here, you are fear mongering, just thinking about these stations that get money just to stay alive, like crowdfunded stuff like MPR, and they'll come in and they'll be like, these days, the way things are, journalism is at a premium. So I donate my money to MPR just so I can get you know, agenda free reporting. And I'm like, yeah, well you can get that here too. And look, I'm not trying to take money away
from the crowdfunded. I'm just saying you can listen to the freak and get that here. That is what's coming out I gave you. Now, I give you a little bit of advice for the weekend. Head on a swivel, a bit of a warning that was could not be construed as a threat. Meanwhile, this is why you went. I went awards like the Kaima
National Forest Radio Personality of the Year. God I thought a week away from hearing about awards would be a nice break, but no. You can catch more NPR level reporting next when I do this story there was a steer on the loose on the train in New Jersey. What you and see this man? Did? Y'all see the bull? There's an eight hundred pounds steer that was on the loose on the New Jersey transit system in Newark. It's amazing.
I mean, you know those trains stations are in this are the ones where you're kind of outside, not the ones like in an underground in the subway and outside, or maybe you're on an overpay you say train, stay, are you talking about like a passenger train or talking like yeah, passenger train, Yeah, that's it. Is it a freight train? Yeah? Choo choo choo choo train? That the train that doesn't do that. It's
so you know how they are. There's like there's an an edge that he drops off and you can look down all the trains out there, and you can look down and see the rails, and you know, it's pretty pretty big area. You wouldn't want to fall down it, but it's not. It'll kill you if you failed down at eight feet. Well, here's an eight hundred pounds bull just running through there on the place, like on the tracks, it was a Jersey cow where you would see the the the pizza
in the New York City subway. They tranquilized it. They named him Ricardo. They they get escaped to slaughterhouse, So good for him. Did they really name him Ricardo? You didn't just make that up? Yea, then Ricardo, okay, which doesn't fully make sense. They they want named him Neil Hamburger something like that. Do you ever feel like you're doing these segments by yourself? I hope not. Look my drummer in there love the Neil Hamburger joke. You could tell by the way the drums were played. You
know, I heard about what you're going to be doing this weekend. You're gonna go see Polyphonic Spree. You're gonna go see Paul barr Keys. When are you going to catch up on sleep? Because I'm starting to get a little concerned. I want you to get I want you to get on the what's her name, Dakota Johnson. I want you to get on the Dakota Johnson's Sleep Program. Yeah, this, can you do this? Can you try starting it this weekend? There's too much stuff to do. Man,
what do you have to do? A hamster wheel? Did I wake up every two hours? Anyway? Get any good sleep anyway? Okay, you know what I'm gonna do this weekend. I'm gonna sneak into your house and I'm gonna shoot you up with a tranquilizer gun like they did that New Jersey cow and you're gonna sleep for ten hours. Just give me ambient to do like that. It doesn't work. Amby doesn't work on you, does it. What's what's ambi or xanax? Well, I'm about sleeping pills, right,
yeah, Ambien and Xana. I mean xanax is like I think it's anti anxiety. Okay, yeah, Ambien is more to knock you out. Yeah pretty much. What about the gummies? What are those? A little weed gummies? Yea, the good Night gummies? Yeah, yeah, I know you're talking trusted lab type stuff. Yeah, it's like CBD. I'm kind of scared to try those. I am too, because we have to get up in the morning. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna try those. I'm gonna try them on a Friday or Saturday night. But I like
being drowsy in the morning. I like pop I pop up out of bed. When I get up, I'm I'm good because I don't ever hit that deep sleep and hit have that grogginess. You need that deep restorative sleep. Kevin, You're right for my long term health. I'm worried about you. Don't worry about me. I care deeply for you, and I want you to be around a long time. I'm a young gun. You're a mess. You're a hot mess, and they changed things out as quick on this
world. So enjoy your every minute while you have it. I just don't want you to get to where Michael Jackson was when he was having to inject propofall to go to bed. Give me my mealk, He would ask for his milk. I want my milk. Famous last words, I need to go to sleep, Give me my milk. His famous last words, give
me my milk. Now, if Luca would have yelled that at the reft rather than call the foul that technical give me my milk, and he makes the same motion, give me my me, like we're in the feeding phase of the new daughter. That's all it's on my mind is formula. Okay. That could also have a lot to do with Luca's temperament, because Tomy ain't getting no sleep. He cranky, he is not getting restorative sleep. No, he's not. I'm Kevin Turner, that's Danny Bayless. We have
JJ Jackson here, Mike Siroy on vacation. He'll be back on Monday, all right, but we're going to investigate him at nine again. Mike Siroy not here. Entertains a nasty bit. He's a nasty bitch.
