This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak all right, thirty minutes away going down with the downbeat singing Christmas tree topper. Let's say it's brought to you by Parker University Parker dot edu. What don't mind you? Friday Speakeasy is two to six at the Mike's Gemini twin which mix Gemini is one of the best bars in town. And we'll be there four point thirty for the annual Freak Miss Gift Rift, well, Secret SAand Action.
Like we did last year at Lockwood, We're doing it at Mike's Gemini Speakeasy two to six. This Friday gonna be a wild one there. Clip Your countdown continues at nine and again, like I said, make an appointment downbeat singing Christmas tree top or coming up at eight let's continue though, I've been kind of doing a year in review when it comes to the news with the scuttle butt burk back of these fast new cycles. So this is the scuttle button. Well. Also at ninety five, we will kind of have a
random drawing here to see who wins the pair of Kevin Hart tickets. Just follow at ninety seven to one, the freak. Retweet that thing and you're entered. That's all you got to it is retweet it. You're entder to win. Also, you got to follow the account. We'll confirm that you're following the account. We'll have that drawing at nine forty five. We pick out permission today April ninth. April ninth, John Rahm wins the Masters by
four strokes over Brooks Kopka and Phil Mickelson. John Rahm, who's heavily, heavily rumored to be joining the Live Tour at six hundred million dollars, and those rumors are not dying down. In fact, they are heating up. Can't help. But tomorrow might be the day. His buddy Phil Micholson. They both went to Arizona State. Rom kind of looked up to Phil or whatever, but they had a connection from Phil going to Arizona State as well.
Phil kind of pulling some Lift Tour strings behind closed doors. It's a little juicy, And I think John ram going to the Lift Tour breaks the PGA Tour forever. I do mean that. I think this is the unfixable thing, unless Charlie Woods is a star and Tiger agrees to become the commissioner of the PGA Tour. I think the PGA Tour is broken forever. If John rom goes to the Lift Tour, hot is hot. I know,
let's see tomorrow if it becomes official. But anyone, we will discuss for moral, political, or most important, I think to these people, reputational reasons. If you were like, I'm not going to the Lift Tour, that's all out the window. What a quote unquote good guy just goes because he is that, he's not a villain and he's a good guy. Now other guys's gonna go like, I mean, screw it, He's right, j Tours and shambles take the money might as well? How much? Sure
they offered six million and giving him his own team. There was a trade that happened yesterday and live and it was and he's not in the field for the like American Express something. What's this trade? The player for a player. But one of those was Carlos Ortiz, who is a friend of his reigning champ John rowm not among commitments to the American Express. So that he's
the defending champ, you go, you always go. And that's the Lakita, California go, you always go. And that's the Lakina, California West Coast Swing. He's won it twice and he's not committed to being in the field, which is maybe the final right later that this is happening. I mean he said this many times. He's made comments about not playing for monetary
reasons. He's made comments about never going to live. But I just think what happened were Jay Monahan's or Monaghan whatever his name is, whatever he when he came in and basically did a move without telling anyone. I think it made everyone go. Nothing matters anymore. I'll get as much as I can. What if there's also a what if it's not like tomorrow it hits and
rom says I'm doing it? And what if there's a couple other although like Patrick Cantley is a great candidate too, Yeah, because he's not very well liked. How do you say some massive top ten in the world type of golfer, you know, how do you say no, you don't to six hundred million dollars? Well, you say no if you just don't care, like you're like, well, I'm good making sixty millions, six hundred millions
nothing to me. I rather compete. That's where you say, yet that's never say he'll never touch that level of financial success just playing PGA Tour a bit. Well, then why aren't speed than Justin Thomas going Because it wasn't okay to go? It's totally okay to go. John Raum is about to make it okay. That's what I'm saying. Now it's different. This is
why it's broken. Are the no laying up dudes said? I don't have this number in front of me, but the six hundred million they wrote one hundred million more than the entire twenty twenty three PGA Tour prize fund exactly. I don't know if that's accurate. They're gonna go get Hoveland, They're gonna go. Rory can't go. They probably won't offer it to Rory. Now is a line in the same thing. They need a player to be the commissioner of the PGA Tour and have administrators run it, but they have to
have it all right, we'll do this tomorrow. Let's have that level of money is bigger than Tiger Woods being dude, well, I don't know if it is today, but if John ram takes the switch continues, well, getting would be whatever, let's do this tomorrow if and when this gets another But if John Ron comes out to Stone Cold's music and says, uh huh, I'm with y'all, I'm staying okay, so let's not do this, the pgur would celebrate. Yeah, that didn't happen. I know he's going.
But the thing is is he can't really even use this offer alleged offer from Live to as any type of leverage with the PGA. Can he well, hey, well look man, they're offering me over a half a billion dollars to go play golf, nothing close to that, but they they can get changes made on the PGA tour with that, more money into purses and the elevated events, and that that's what's happened. So the PGA four might
be facing the question do you want to continue to exist? If so, figure it out, and then sports leagues tend to say, all right, oh, we do have a lot more money that we weren't really making eligible to you guys, Do you think that the PGA would ever get to a point like Live where essentially they're just putting their their members on they're just on retainer. That's what these guys are doing it live is just they're they're being
put on retainers to play their events. Here's your set wages, it's guaranteed money. Just play golf for us and uh live a happy life, a happy life. I don't wonder if the PGA would ever do that, you know, based on the you know, the level of U. They don't know who's running their show. Maybe the Saudi's running the PGA tour. They don't know they have a living golf did by the PGA. They did as we learned. April tenth, the Dalai Lama apologized. And my tongue.
He sticks his tongue out and tells a little boy to suck my tongue. Who laughed? Is that the Dalai Lama laughing is handling, is handling again, and he tells a little kid, a little boy, I think, tell you this my tongue. That's not the doll. He wants the media, the media and suck my tongue as he sticks his tongue out. What level of man of peace or whatever? The dollar like? How how how was that maybe lost in translation? How we saw the video. It's not
he sticks his tongue. He goes at him like a snake and if it has lost of translations, they need to figure out our translation better, like it shouldn't it can't be Okay, No, did he screw up the translation in his mind? What like like my funny tongue Okay, that means stick your tongue. Okay, that means made tongue. Watch yeah, na na boo boo Okay, maybe that. I don't often, I'm just trying to
play Lama's advocate, dumb fair. I don't know how in translation the term suck would be just accidentally thrown in there, like the way you say that word and tell a kid to suck my tongue and then ah, it's fine. He had two much emphasis on the hard k, but he apologized, so everything's fine. April twelfth, New York City appoints its first ever Ratsar Kathleen became the director of rat and Mitigation. They need it, they needed it. We needed that up here at Ratsar. Well, they keep stealing
all the New York pizza. Yep, I'm dragging around the streets. Those rats urning around in the subway were nuts. She's dagging pizzas in between the in between the railroads, like an entire New York Slice and they're probably nice and just hungry, and yeah, we got some diseases. What do you look where we live? Yeah, like, we're not bad animals. You try living in a subway for sake, right, we're just trying to survive
and we're a little hungry. Then go take a blood test. We did a year ago walking by the vending machine and the rat was up there and he dialed in and he got some cashews. Yeah, and he was like, I'm trying to be healthy. Leave me outlone ay seven with my debit card, don't look at my pen back off. April thirteenth, the FBI arrested Jack to Shirah, twenty one year old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Do you remember what he leaked classified the United States Department of Defense
documents on a discord server? Boy, I don't. So he was just up there hanging out, having a little live chat on discord, playing some video games with streaming, and then he leaked a couple of pictures of the US Department of Defense documents, like accidentally, no on purpose. Who's just in a room with what he thought were some of his homies, and he's a twenty one year old goober. He violated the s nineteen seventeen and he was killed. He was not He was not killed. Twenty one, Elon
launched a first test flight of Starship. The device exploded shortly after launch. Look a time awful in most ways, but ambitious man who does some pretty cool stuff up, who didn't like blown stuff up. I was just looking at the track that they're building in Vegas for the Boring Company for undergrounds ground tunnels, and it's like, you forget that's even happening. Dude wants to
figure out tunneling hyper loops bringing people to space. That's all fun, but also gf y. Yeah, but also gfy, I don't know anything about the new Vegas tunneling system. Yeah, the Boring Company is the thing, and they make the flamethrower as well. But yeah, they're trying to they're making tunnels and it's underground driving tunnels. I saw fruction just yesterday to make traffic less. Yeah we could use that here, Okay, Well I like
tunnels, yeah, yeah, I don't really like tunnel attacks. Do you want, ever, do you ever want to drive the the what is the Eurotunnel from London to France. The tunnel. Yeah, no, that looks like fun because I went on the under the one in the Continental Divide in Colorado and I had a mini panic attack. Oh you did, yes, I started rolling the window down a region for water. I don't even know why. I don't know that were you alone. I was with Christina.
I was trying to hide it. And then we went skiing, and the whole time we're skiing, I'm thinking, God, I got drive through that tunnel on the way home. So then we came back to the tunnel and I just gunned it. About ninety flew through that thing. It is the longest tunnel in North America, I believe. How long is it? It's only like two miles really, but it is dark. How long is the Eurotunnel? I don't know. You can't even drive through that, actually,
I think, yeah, I think you can. I think you put your car on a I don't know. Actually I did a whole segment of this. There's a tunnel in like Sweden or somewhere or China. Maybe it's seventy miles. Like the longest tunnels in the world are scary, but they put it on some kind of wheel barge. And they carry your car across or through the tunnel. Is that a tunnel? That's why I think. I don't think it's a drivable tunnel. I think yes, some kind of wheel
barge as well, well, said wheel bottle, wheel bar. Yeah, what's your next date? April twenty second record outbreak of dingo fever? Oh forty people in Argentina killed you got rich off that over sixty thousand infected by dingo fever according to your Twitter.

When I perform there, you can't hear the lyrics to the Mister Dallas theme because of all the screaming women. You have to get into your car where your driver takes you, and all the women are taking their shirts off on not at the back of your car. Yeah, they're all just throwing chimmy churry and skirt steaks at you. God, I

All right, I'm now ramping things up. We're
going faster now. April twenty fourth, within minutes of each other, Fox News fired Tucker Tucker Carlson and see It and fired Don Lemon Carlson because of the dominion est settlement. Lemon because of just so many misogynistic comments. Is that why you said that Nicky Hayley was not in her prime anymore? And Tucker for being Tucker. April twenty bow tie shop that just closed right next to the studio of the day Tucker Ye walked out with his box coming out

Tom wants him to do it. Really, she's pretty funny. So did they inquire with Sports and such to maybe be the show that takes over for that? They should have. They should have, but no one knew because sometimes they would air the wrong show. There's a wrong time. Do you
ever watched Kevin's TV show Sports and Such religiously? And he didn't know existence that's not true. You didn't know they changed things. I was quick on this world episode.

It was pretty interesting, and I liked how Ed as much of a not an Ed Sheering fan. Just hate him because he plays tiny guitar. It is true.
He was in Game of Thrones and kind of actor just like you. He was terrible in it, but it is a tremendous actor. He wasn't terrible in it. He sang a beautiful song. I said to Bolli the tree. What was that like? Let's just get back to the scene where Ariya does badass stuff. Sometimes the fighters sit out in the woods by fire, and what all is you do? Not staring at their phones?
