You're listening to the Downbeat ninety seven one the Freak say, what's brought to you by Advanced hair Restoration tonight? Jeff Cavanaugh, I Grapevine, Buffalo Wild Wings. You got Ivonne out there with you. I would imagine, so, yeah, if you're gonna have the full set up, yeah, I would imagine. So that's cool man doing this, doing the draft live on the air following the speakeasy and uh, we'll get going at six pm. Draft start at seven, eight o'clock. We'll do the NFL Draft Bonanza.
Cowboys pick at twenty four. I think that'll be around nine pm to nine thirty. You know, if you look at how these things traditionally go unless they move into the top five. But they could trade up, they could trade down. I think we're gonna get a lot of trades tonight. And you said every year, but tonight feels a little different because there's a lot of uncertainty with the quarterbacks. I got fun stuff for us in the NFL Draft Bonanza as well as who the Cowboys might take. How much more that's
coming up. We're the home of the Dallas Mavericks Game three tomorrow night. Don't miss that it's a seven o'clock start. Pregame will be at six thirty for Game three MAVs Clippers. Mikey will be in attendance for that. Game four will be Sunday afternoon two thirty to get some of that as well as the MAVs playoff run call tenues fourth. I'll tell you about my trip to Italy at nine, including home at a Russian woman a bit angry. Hod
you're joking around having a good time. It didn't translate on a boat, and like a lot of things I'd say and do, it didn't translate. But right now, let's do the scuttle butt. You guys wanna do it? Did you missed doing the skull butt for the last week? I I didn't think about that too much, honestly. Did you do the scuttle butt for roxy every day? Just to keep your uh, keep your weapons sharp? I do it in my sleep a lot, though I talk nice sleep.
Yeah. In fact, this morning she will cup wear her out with plain stories every day before morning coffee. She's like, you're always talking what you're doing the show. I'm always interviewing people. I love it. But this morning, for some reason, which is banded I really don't care about. But she said in my sleep I was defending as I woke her up, like four as you have top, I was defending Maroon Five's first album songs about Jane. And you know what, I'll defend that publicly, not
just in my dreams. And I'm not sure who I was defending it to. I noticed in my travels on a via Billboard Maroon five was about to kick off a Vegas residency for like a month. Yeah. I don't really know much about Maroon five outside of they got the famous guy yep. But that first album is great. Yeah, they have Bruce Levine their lead singer, Brusce Leavine. Yeah, big stars, fan hockey songs. It's real strain. You don't talk sleep music. I woke up yesterday morning singing The
Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Yeah, hell yeah, And then I listened to it on my way in yesterday and you remembered how great it was. Well, because I'm like, I think the Gambler just kind of swindled this guy, right, the Gambler, what do you do? He stole the remainder of his whiskey and a cigarette, and he just kind of told you stuff you probably already know. I mean, you're playing poker, you understand that part of the rules, knowing when to kind of sound and went to fold
them. It kind of sounds like a night at the landing with you. He steals your whiskey, your SIGs and tells you a bunch of stuff you already know. I don't want to hear he just I don't want to hear that. I ain't please. Yeah, But then it turns out at the end the Gambler died. He died, at least according to the lyricist, but he may have just fallen asleep. They made that song into a TV movie starring Kenny Rogers. Are you talking about that or Coward of the County.
I think I'm talking about the Gambler. Now, Coward of the County tells a story and that's it. That's yeah, it is the the the revenge enacted. But the Gamber, I think he may have just screwed the guy over and faked his own death. Here's Kevin. You got to know him to hold him, Mike, you got to know him to fold him. And I gotta tell you what. I will tell you a little bit more about this at nine as I had playing problems. But as of yesterday,
the Biden administration released a new list of rights for airline passengers. It's a big week for the US government. Well, they've made some plays this week. I wonder I was thinking about is this. I mean, everything's politically motivated, but it was weird back to back days that like, on the surface at least, are incredibly good for workers and just American regular folk.
Yeah, maybe are they like not good for corporate land? And I wonder if I don't know how much of this is politically motivated, says the Biden administration, It would say the Trump administration if he was the president, right, huh, But these rights are interesting. Airlines will be required to issue automatic refunds for domestic flights delayed over three hours. I'll tell you more about it a little bit. But I had a three and a half hour
delay. Oh international, six hours? Big dog? Oh international flights delayed by six or more hours, so you don't get desks or if a flight has a significant change. It also includes check bags not being delivered within twelve hours. But basically the whole dance of you know, hey, I need a refund, Oh credit, will you with miles and then who do you even call, and God forbid you can get someone on the phone, and all this stuff. The idea is to eliminate all that and you just get
a refund directly back to the way you paid. Right ideally, this is that's awesome. Airlines will be facing significant fines if they don't follow these rules. Either they don't get you the payment in time within seven days. Good, that's good. You should not have to come. I'll tell you bore it. Nine. You shouldn't have to your plans, you plan on things. Also, we take for granted that planes are safe. Planes are safe, and it's amazing you can fly anywhere else on Earth tomorrow tomorrow and a
reasonable rate. Yeah, that is crazy. It's that's we do take that progress. Planes are so safe, and that's why South Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue Airways nearly collided a couple of jets at Ronald Reagan Airport the other day on the ground, on the ground, so that the air traffic controller is telling Southwest Airlines number four, but they're dying. Southwest, the air traffic
controller is telling you you're good to cross runway four. Meanwhile, Jet Blue has started its takeoff is ready to risk, so Southwest is crossing runway four. Jet Blue is hauling ass throws on the brakes so they don't hit the plane. No injuries reported, anything like that. But we had a near collision. How near it didn't say. And that's the thing. These articles never give you the details on how many football fields away were we how many
elephants from smashing and everyone burning alive? I don't know. I do fear the collision because that I feel like that is a human error that is possible. I do fear the in air collision too, which I think is far less likely than the on ground collision. Yeah. But also if there's a mid air collision, you're just evaporated, right, you don't feel anything. It's done. Yeah, yeah, ball of fire if yeah, depending on what how you unless if it's a wing clip, you might have a good
shout out everyone on their way to the airport. Anyone getting long flights today? There you go, where the show to get you in the right mindset for that. Now, this is a wild one though. If you guys seen this, The FAA is investigating the story. Go see the story with the Colorado Rockies. Uh Anupama has gotta be pissed. Was right. So there's an investigation that's taking place from April tenth a video where it's a United Airlines flight. Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. I'm struggling to think
how a baseball team and an American Airlines flight. This is United? Sorry, good, have trouble, Okay, go ahead. So it's from Denver to Toronto and a man a company accompanying the Colorado Rockies baseball team we now know as a coach of some sort, specifically who was caught on video that he had posted online and he deleted it, but it's online now. Espano's
running the story too. He's taking a video mid flight in the cockpit with the pilots and since nine to eleven, No, you can't do that anymore. You can't take the up mid flight, show them the plane and meet Kareem Abdul Jabbar. That's not happening. The NBA's all time leading scorps. I'll let you go meet the pilot. Son, you know not anymore? Did you do that when you're a kid at all? Yeah? I got the little wings? Yeah, yeah, pinned on you? Sure I did
pretty calm? Better time yeah, but do you think the pilots were in real life? They're like, oh God, here comes another snot nose pilot or a tour guide. Right, I'm trying to fly this damn plane and finish my Scotch kids. Well, a little more to nine. I've learned that pilots half of their job is customer service nine o'clock for more on that. Everything's happening at nine. But the NFL draft bonanza is gonna be just skip the news and do Yeah, let's do three straight nine o'clock spotlight on
Kevin? Did the spotlight off me? Please? Kevin. So they're in trouble, I mean it's a chartered flight. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's gotta be. Yeah, he's just up in the cockpit and he's filming talking to the pilots and what does that button do? And yeah, it is really stress pretty weird. He is the pilots too. Maybe the pilot wants to meet Dante Bishit. I don't know who this guy was
either, we just know that it's a coach. It's funny because he is kind of looking like he looks back and he's like, I mean, you see all the buttons on the cockpit board, you know, on the motherboard, and he's looking back kind of at the at the phone too, and it's a big video that got taken down but its surfaced and ESPN's weren't out of the story too. And the United Airlines's next biggest hurdle after they had, you know, the wheel fall off the plane, right, so they've
had some problems there. And that'll conclude it for this portion of plane stories. Danny will have one for you at a thirty. Mine's more of a terminal story.

Pretty good, pretty good. What what's the next? Okay, we're following up for the rest of the day. We're following up on the Big T's It Swallowed? What You Sound Like? Inside Edition Man Kansas zoo An Ostrich Karen the Ostrich, known for her love of playing in the water and being a dancing queen
and complaining about the speed of her tire replacement is dead? Oh no, why is Karen the Ostrich dead via swallowing? What swallow a dildo? Okay, I don't even know why you would say that, because I'm why did she really? What did you look this up? Oh? I have no I promise you no idea what she did? Didn't she? Why would that be at the zoo? Because she was at that football game and somebody threw it into the end zone buffalo, Yeah, threw it into her mouth.
So Karen, who is scored at the kids zoo, reached beyond her exhibits fence because she's an ostrich. They can you know, they can reach over and reach around. It's one of the benefits of having an elongated neck grabs whenever I'm listing the benefits of being a bird. That's one of the huge necks. Flight. Yeah, I forgot flight, But ken just really fly? No, not fast? Would they kind of flump their wings around and
run? Yeah? I can't do much. They're built weird. They are the true muffin top of animal snow kidding that's a spare gig flightless bird. Yeah, seriously, it's like, how mad are you? I do how mad are you at God? If you are a bird and you're watching your friend eagle, you're doing like all this kick ass stuff and then here you are on the ground. What tricks do I have swallowing dildos at a zoo?
Life is that it reaches its neck around and grabs the keys off a staff member whose outside the exhibit, grabs them to the locker, and then swallowed the keys to the dildo locker. Great movie starring Jeremy Renner won an Academy Award. Why would they have that at the zoo? I still don't know. So they're freaking out, trying to like, Okay, well we're gonna do surgery. They couldn't get it done in time. Oh man, Really, Karen had to be euthanized as it was choking on the keys and
they hadn't killed. It's terrible, terrible. I'm still trying to unpack why there would be a locker, specifically at a zoo. It's staff only. Who's got time for animals? No one has time at the zoo. Helen, have time? Give me the keys? Yes, break Ellen? Okay, that's good. That's sad. That's sad. I don't love that's really sad and traumatic. And they probably loved Karen the bird, the flightless bird. They said it was the dancing queen of the zoo, complained a lot.
She did, real bitch. Did the guy get his keys back? Yes, they're in the esophagus of Karen. You know what paying the ass it is to remin make every one of those keys to every cage raccoons. Keta, I got a hundred keys. Imagine running a zoo. How big your keychain is. It's spread out as Kansas is. They don't have any locksmith's up there. They definitely got the keys out, yea. And the guy whose keys they were, probably about fifteen minutes after Karen succumbed, was
like, so, what's the plan on? Need the key? What's the plan from here? Putting the rubber gloves on? I'll do it. Feel them right here, the lower portion of the throat right there. Just if you cut right here, just cut right I'll just cover it here right here. Or fine, just work them up, work them up, the work and then it's just wide and then rest get a just kill her. Don't worry about the break that or good lock. Okay, caught up. Next,
