This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one the Freak and one day I didn't mention the last segment too. The Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson basically said, I'm good. I don't really need to do anything. I'll stay here, we'll run it back. Me and my wife are happy in Detroit. So he's not getting a head coaching job, even though everyone pretty much thinks
that the commanders were going to give it to him. So the Washington job and the Seattle job still open, and the big rumors or that dan Quinn has interviewed very well with the Washington commanders and they might be going that route, seems weird considering they had Ron Rivera, you had defensive minded head coach, and you're reracking. You're probably done with him anyways, But to bring
in another defensive minded head coaches a little wild. But that would mean dan Quinn in the division, and that would mean Kellen Moore in the division. So I don't know if that means anything or not, but that it's interesting. At least dan Quinn might be getting that commander shop. The lines OC Ben Johnson and the Texans OC Bobby Slowick, who people thought might get a
job. Both were like, I'll stay and they're gonna stay where they're at be oc for another year, and then we'll get head coach openings in twenty twenty five. Might be a lot of people going, I'll try to get the Dallas job in twenty twenty five or another one that might open up. The name that also keeps popping up his vrabel not getting and he like, he's almost like he's not a candidate for the Washington of the Seattle job.
Strange. It's kind of strange. But maybe you see him and you're like, I don't know if I want to be around that guy all the time. Might care my biggest head. So there's that. We'll get into the Jason kids Steph at eight. Is Luca better than Dirk? What he said? What it meant? We read into it a little bit, I think, and kind of took over the world agains the audio but playing on some national outlets as well as kind of funny. But right now we have a
special guest, so I want to do this. It's the scuttle butt before I bring on our special guest and we'll play you guys some audio here because this happened, well, hold on. I lost it. I had it pulled up and then I lost it. Kevin, no hear. So this is a live footage in the house. Her name is Courtney Hawk. We're about to bring Courtney on the air, but I'm gonna pay nineteen seconds of audio. There's a deer in my kitchen. I don't know what they do.
You can you can hear the deer kind of having trouble getting its footing on the hardwood floor. And the voice you heard was Courtney Hawk. Courtney's from Spring, Texas, and she walked into her house and there was a deer in the kitchen. Courtney, Welcome to ninety seven, won the free Good morning, Hi wow, Courtney. We're gonna ask you to maybe clean up your language a little bit for radio purposes where you're not in your kitchen with a deer. All right, I can knew that. So what happened?
Walk us through this? You got home? Were you getting home from work when this happened? What happened? Uh? No? I left my house Saturday around five pm. I went to my boyfriend's for the evening and came back the next evening and walked into my house with some groceries and I opened up my door from my garage into my kitchen and about fifteen pen in front of me was just a deer staring at me inside your home, in your kitchen, in my kitchen, just staring at me like he pays bills.
Huh ah, you got, I mean, how the hell does a deer get in one's kitchen courtney? That is exactly what was going through my head. I could not figure out how in the world is this even possible. But it turns out a buck had been chasing it down the street. I guess a neighbor I hadn't met before came over later. He told me what she thought, which while he was outside, which a buck was chasing the deer down the street, and the deer saw my blinds up and just
cloud through my window. But they saw the buck chase something else up in the other direction, and they thought it was still the deer. They didn't realize the deer was still in my house, so they didn't call or try to, you know, get me kind of you know, a commerciocy service out or anything like that. But oh, he had just made a new home and was moving in Okay, So Spring Texas is that's a little that's is that in between Houston and the Woodlands. It's just south of the Woodlands.
Okay, yeah, so there there's kind of some wooded area down there, so it's probably not uncommon to see deer every now and then. It's interesting, do you live Do you live in more of a rural type of area. Are you in a suburban neighborhood because says kind of running away from a buck. Maybe. Oh, I live right in the middle of the suburbs. Lived in this area since twenty seventeen, and I've never seen a
deer in my neighborhood. But they just recently plowed out this little small wooded area that was kind of in the middle of the neighborhood that I think everybody just forgot was there until they plow it. And now we're seeing animals. What other animals have you seen? Well, I say, in my house, I am a hermit. I don't see animals because I don't do the outdoor thing. No bobcats or coyotes or anything like that. I don't put
in some other neighborhoods. Since surrounding areas, when they plow out those areas, they'll see like the wild hogs and stuff like that. See, I think if people in we're in Dallas, Texas right now, but if you're you know, somewhere else and you hear like a deer in a kitchen in Texas, You're like, all right, whatever, it just weird Texas stuff. But your straight suburban neighborhood, you've never seen a deer anywhere around your
house? Do you did the grocery bag survive or do those those get instantly dropped? Like? How what do you do in that moment? And I guess how long was the damn deer in there before you said all right, I'm least getting the phone out and taking a video of this. So we stared at each other for like a solid fifteen thirty seconds, just frozen and can't And then I shut the door and I set everything down because I was
just like, what do I do? When I called my boyfriend who offered to come up with his crossbow, and I found a pharmassier than I wanted to deal us. Okay, so how long before the estimated time of the when the deer committed a B and e to when you walked in on the deer hunt? What's that? Now? He was there for almost a full twenty four hours. Oh my god, So he lived in your or she? She right? It was he. It was a man deer. So the man deer lived in your house for twenty four hours? What evidence did
you see of what the deer had been doing to occupy his time? Once you know, you were able to get the deer out. We'll get to that in a moment. But when you kind of surveyed the situation, all right, so where did this deer go? Did he were there leavings in the house? Did he try to watch TV? Were you missing sandwiches? Yeah? I was so terrified, Like it was a full almost a full
twenty four hours. It had to have had some sort of excrement somewhere, but I have not found anything of the sort, and I would imagine that maybe the buck chasing it probably scared a lot of that out of it. And then it went almost twenty four hours with no fitter water. Wow, I think I got pretty lucky on that front. You might have saved the deer's life by showing up when you did. Starved today, he got himself pretty good jumping through the window. And so there's blood smeared all over my
couch. It looks like she had a nice little relaxing weekend on the couch. I laid down on the couch. So did you call animal Oh by the way, this is Courtney Hawk from Spring, Texas and she's calling in because a deer broke into her house and she walked in on it, staring at her in the kitchen. Tell me you really did about fifteen seconds you two just stared at each other. Oh, we did. I was just processing. I was like, what am I seeing? That's a funny visual.
Okay, So it didn't what I had, like, truly, I was deer in the headline. So you get your phone out, you capture some video. But then what did you call nine to one one? Did you quick google? I googled for about five seconds to figure out if there was animal control or anything like that. I just kept seeing private numbers. And it was a Sunday evening. I like private businesses, and I was
like, nobody's coming out on a Sunday evening. So I just I called nine one one Panics and I was like, I don't know if this is an emergency, but I don't know what to do. Yeah, I think that's fair and they can they can transport you over to where you're going with the animal control. So animal controls shows up when and what are you doing while you're waiting on animal control to show up? I got back in my car and back into the driveway and shut my garage and just waited for them
to show up. And they actually they sent a constable at first, and then the constable ultimately ended up calling another constable and then they still couldn't get it. They ended up calling a livestock officer who came out with a tranquilizer
gun. But in the meantime, it was it was the first constable going in and opening up the front door in the back door and trying to use his baton to kind of like get around different walls to get it to kind of go in the other direction towards the door, and it just went right around the couch instead and went into my master bedroom and into my bathroom. And that's where all the chaos happened for the next two hours. Oh my
god. So once they got the deer out, would you consider that the deer was a I don't know, a good house guest or was there a lot of destruction in the home. Oh, he's not invited back, Absolutely not invited back. Yeah. Watching the video after himself, it's wild. Once he's tranked and he's kind of just kind of weird. They're kind of they were kind of dragging him on your carpet on its back, and then they lift him lift. Your friend drinks too much at the club and you
have to drag him out of there, being transported out. That is what it looked like. So everyone's safe. Everything good? Are you? You and your boyfriend thinking about maybe moving in now? You probably don't want to live alone anymore. You need that crossbow nearby under your pillow. Well, the crossbow would be handy. I don't think he wants to live to wildlife, So I think this is a strong argument for moving in another direction. Oh you heard it here first, folks. Yeah, we'll probably take a
different side of town. I think, Oh, that's gotcha. He lives in he inside our six ten loop is what they call in the loop, and living inside the loop, everybody has kind of a more urban life there, more you know, walkability, all of that, just more fun stuff. And so he calls this the country side anyway, And I have now officially had lost all all debating power in that fight there and trying to prove that it's not the country side. Yeah, it's the country side. Well,
Courtney, do us a favor. We're trying to get syndicated in Houston. So tell all your friends about ninety seven won the freak up in Dallas. Just nice people who are just talking about all the things that matter in life, you know, like this, this is our story of the day. Courtney's funny. She's got funny quotes and some of these things. She's making the best of it. Yeah, for sure, we appreciate you jumping on, Courtney. Stay very safe. Okay, Sorry, the Astros suck.
Oh you had to do that. I'm glad the Rangers finally got one chair the phone. You get out of here, take care. Is there anything you want to know about us? No, y'all's been great. Nope, all right, haven't going Courtney. Thank you for your time. By Courtney Hawk from Hawk's her last name too. Living with a deer and the deer and she walks in holding grocery. Incredible, what are you doing? What are you doing here? What's in the bad? Are you doing it?
The deer just taking one of her salt shakers and just turned it and straightened it up. Yeah, and tighten up the flore deer blood all over a couch suburbs though, has never seen a deer. So the now that it's in your kitchen. So the buck was chasing the Fonda. I'm just gonna say, it looks small, but you can tell it's not a huge like a big hunting for you. Yeah, and it went upstairs into the
bathroom, is that what she said? And it was in there for two hours and you can't see it's got a pretty good wound on its left hip. Don't you always wonder like whether a fly or a bee gets in your house whatever, or a deer, like it's like one in a million that you're gonna get him out the front door, like out the way they came. Now, deer might see daylight and that would be logical, makes sense for him to run out. But like a giant fly or a bug,
like they ain't figuring this out. But think about this, like the deer has never been inside a house before. It does it know what a door is or where to go? You know, it doesn't know the lay of the But then again, the deer had twenty four hours to Yeah, to do some surveillance down Zillow and look at the floor plan. Everyone in our audience, though, is just imagining, though, like their routine of getting off from work, taking there's there's stuff in because you're not really thinking about
much, you know, it's just routine. Keys go here and then just locking eyes with a deer in your kitchen. That's beautiful. Squaring off with a huge mammal is nuts awesome. If the deer's looking at her, it is just like a sig dangling from his little mouth. Where have you been been looking for? You? You deer? Sitting on the couch watching Pirates Home Groceries Pirates A harrowing ordeal from a real textan thank you, Thank you, Cortney. I saw that story and I said, you know what,
let's track her down a sap. This guy, you're an animal of bastin right now. But guys, i'd like to transition to another story. Okay, by the way, I'm Kevin Turner. It's Danny Bayless, it's Mike's roying. JJ Jackson eight thirty at Dingu's Morning News. Got another guest at nine ten and come up at eight we'll discuss some of the comments. Jason Kidd said, what that all means? Maybe it means a little more than just the surface level is Luca, But what he said on our show,
he said it it went national. It went international less than twenty four hours ago on Sports Center, on every damn show, every website had it. Everywhere I turned, people were talking about the freak national. It's kind of it's well, a little true that reaction too, right, what's up? We had the like, yeah, the peak fundance. Oh yeah, yeah, we'll play some of that. It's kind of funny. But I'm gonna play this here in JJ kreek up. My attitude is I'm we'll play another
clip here. A Brazilian woman was arrested on charges of wildlife trafficking because police discovered one one hundred and thirty poisonous frogs in her luggage. Always love these Columbia. Yeah, they they found the frogs hidden in film canisters. Just so odd thing to carry them in and they film I'm imagining like little bitty film canisters. The middle millimeters, yes, like the size of the like smaller than the small pringles can Yeah. The frogs appeared to be dehydrated and
stressed. So they're at the airport going through when they they found her. And this is some of the audio that surfaced online from that, these dehydrated and stressed out frogs observer. I need juice. I'm sorry, hydrated Jesus crush Bench just kissed me. I'm really a prince on the inside. God, Kevin run What the prince think of shoe? Oh? Wow? Weird? Why did you make us do that? I didn't make anyone do anything
that we don't understand. But when I suggested it, when I suggested it, I will say Mike and Danny knew no details of the story, and the first reaction was, I'm not doing that. We don't want to do that. We don't want to follow your instructions to talk into your phone and sound like dehydrated frog. Just sound like a thirsty frog. It'll be it'll be good. Then it takes us twelve seconds say I'm gonna shoot, and Danny starts making it a horny frog and to take long to go there?
Did it? Never? Does it? Ever? Does? I think it's a serious story? Gys, Yeah, it is the protection of animals and not illegally transporting them is a very serious so why are we illegally transporting one hundred and thirty poisonous frogs. Well, it's because they're poisonous, mind you know why because you can get high from licking them. Yeah this say. These are called harlequin frogs, also known as clown frogs. And then they're
the green ones who have kind of red and white spots on them. Yeah, they can fetch up to one thousand dollars each on the black market. That's amazing. How many did she have? One hundred? She had one hundred thousand dollars worth. Yeah, that's why we're transporting these nsa thirty thousand dollars. What have they bought for just because they're exotic and rare or because people want to them? Because the frog's skin produces a highly toxic poison that's
strong enough to kill small animals. Back in the day, indigenous people used to coat the tips of their arrows, yes, with a poison from these con frogs. They would dip their shoot the deer in the left hip. It kills the deer. Yep, if it's in your kitchen. Yeah. They also used to dip their arrows in feces, so if you got shot with a bow and arrow, you'd get like, yeah, you get infected. Did you know that? No? I didn't know that? Yuck? Is that? Is that the most feces ken? It's usually things on the
black market are not like highly expensive. Is that the most expensive fetching on the black market we've seen? What is that? The articles that they can fetch up to a thousand dollars each on the black market? Din't you fetch like a human kidney on the black market? It's worth more than a grand heavy? Yeah, keV, I'm not a big fetcher to be sorry, big you're I'm never sure when Kevin poses a question to you and me that if he's being serious or he's trying to set himself up for a mid joke,
a mid level joke that he'll repeat that's written on his sheet. You guys are the fetchers on this show, not me. Well, birthdays, birthdays, No, I'm doing them later, I told you, damn it. Skydiver skydiving Man Colorado man's skydiving thirty six and his parachute failed to deploy. He went full Trevor on Fresh Prince. Anyone, Oh, people that are in their thirties are laughing, Yeah, we need to laugh. I love you, Hillary, go watching on TV. Hilarious. The men are
laughing and we can't hear. The man has not been publicly identified, so no backup shooting. I was like Dowey. He hasn't been identified. He smushed into the ground, he disintegrated, he turned to dust. That's sad. It is terribly sad. And don't play audio of him. I mean they he was on a plane. Yeah, they know who they have up in the plane. I imagine they can identify who this is. My question is does the how do you go? Because they didn't say if he was
obviously he wasn't a tandem because it would have been two deaths. How do you know that he didn't just do the right thing? Or is the parachute company getting sued? Like to me, that opens up just kinds of whose fault is it? Though you would need to knowing that circumstance. I don't know, Kevin. There's a lot of people that will elevate their risk of death to do fun stuff, and I call this dying of natural causes. You can't get sued for anything when it comes to skydiving. Well, I
think if you're on a tandem jump. Yes you can, if you're with a beginner with a company. I imagine there's some way to do it. You don't think that they're signing clipboard clipboards full of waivers. That's they get on that thing. I don't know that's the answer, full speed smush into terra firm a. If a lawyer cares much about whatever waiver you sign, I don't know, man, I don't know the power. I don't understand
the power of waivers. I mean, they used to make you sign waivers just to ride with me in a van and takes his motor Does that really matter if you doesn't make sense. If you to a baseball game, the back of the ticket says flying objects may be dangerous, but if you get in the hit in the face with a foul ball, you could still sue teams and stadiums and Major League Baseball. Guy tried to fight me and my brother one time because he my brother hit this guy older gentleman hit him run
in the face. What t shot and his playing partner tried to fight us, and I was like, you told us to play through. It's yeah, my brother hit a horrible tea shot, but you told us to play through. You waved us forward, and now you want to fight, just like I'm trying to help your buddy who's bleeding. You assume the risk when he signed up to play eighteen holes today, you assume the risk that something bad could happen. I'm sorry. If you make it through this life to
like seventy eight, you were so lucky. So much stuff lying around. Oh my god. The fact that we get in cars every day, that's the big somehow can make it into late middle age, a shock faith in humanity, the fact that there's not way more car accidents and rage because it's all of us. That's all of us represented. It's just like society out
there on the roads. Everyone thinks differently, as different you know, politically, all this stuff, but that's the we have to work together out there, and it's a fair representation of society, proving that ninety nine percent of people are are good. And look, the vast majority of the people that are in cars right now are on one percent autopilot and totally distracted. Whether they're listening to the downbeat music, thinking about what they're gonna do tonight,
thinking about an argument they got in with their wife. This morning. And by above all, every human being that is driving right now has their damn phone in front of their face. I cannot see anybody driving on the road that is not looking at their phone all the time. Yeah, it really bugs me all the time. Now, if you're looking at a map, as a wise man once told me to do, could that's a little different. But man, when you see someone that caught it at they're left lane
going slow and they're just texting away. Uck, I flash my lights, I honk. You wave a gun at them? No, I don't wave, I don't brand it, don't even Yeah, not to mention the ragers out there that have weaponry right, raging albeit something that happens is very very rare, and I feel like that is laughing at that's a good hat tip to society. We can do it. We can work together. I'm saying, in spite of all of those things, we still the vast majority.
But people make it to work every day and they live ninety nine point nine. They shouldn't. Good people, good people. We're good people. Don't believe all the division. We're all okay, we work together on the roads anonymously every day. We can do it well. Let's do it. National media was all over our nuts yesterday. You take your pill yet? Yeah, you can get it. Oh I didn't. That was staring at me like that deer was looking at Courtney. Okay, coming up next? Is
Luca better than Dirk? We've got our thoughts. We were all over to the national media yesterday. We got the audio to prove it. Let's have some fun next. On ninety seven won the Freak
