This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak gun. Nothing can stop me. I'm all away up, all away up, I'm all away up, I'm all away up. Nothing could stop me. I'm all away shot. What's walk showing? What's what you need? One game? Win? Never leave, never leave counting, Good morning, seven thirty five. It's a downbeat. We're six to ten am right here on ninety seven. Won a free Kevin Turner downy Balis, Mike's Roy kJ Jackson, the
glue guns holding this thing in one piece? Uh, what are we doing at eight? I know we got a little downbeat duel. Everybody's sucking down candy today. It's gonna be like a ten minute war between you two over candy downbeat dual sugar rush. Yeah, and I think right before that, the idiots no that we'll take the caller who's the most hyped up about tonight? I mean they got something the most hyped up about tonight. We have some college basketball tickets for them. Well, she got to them hype.
You gotta give it to us, you know, yeah, Bendu's over what Yeah? Do you like nine hours of college basketball? Because we have that. You don't have to go to all three games. Yeah, you do, and and they don't take three hours. College basketball games are a good, healthy, one hour and fifty. You have to go to every minute of this thing, all right, call in. No one's that screaming hyped up at this time in the morning, like they're fired up, and they woke up. It was nice to wake up. I did. I woke
up right when the feet were hitting the ground. The first thing I thought is the Rangers could win the World Series tonight. You're one game away. And that's a cool thing to wake up to. That's fun. That's odd, and I'm happy. I'm happy for you guys. I've look. I can go off on a speech about how honored I am by the people of Texas and the people of the Metroplex that have treated me very well. Someone have moved here in like oh six and I couldn't believe I lived in Texas.
It's just a weird sentence to say. Like I know, for y'all, it's just the most common thing in the world. But I was, like, it took me years. Like I would joke to my ex wife at the times, like, hey, we're Texans, and we'd kind of laugh like, yeah, okay, that just sounds stupid as you put your horse back at the barn. Yeah, we're Texans. I live in Texas. Brisk horse ride and that would heelp you, you know, when you go visit friends whatever. I live in Texas. It's just a weird sentence.
It's odd that you It doesn't register for you, guys, And it was odd for a few years, but then you're since nineteen seventy nine, and I still feel that way sometimes, yeah, yeah, And I don't mean because it necessarily even the stereotype and probably is rooted in that and what Texas is to the nation, that sort of thing. But it was just
an odd thing. But then after years and then yes, working at the ticket and people embracing you, realizing how good folk around here are, and then that turns into rather than an odd statement, a proud statement, you know. And I'm happy. I'm this is home, this is my home, and I'm a damn Texan Jesus. And in that time, all the people as good as they've been to me. That's why I say, even if I leave here and we all get canned and I move somewhere, I
will just love this time. I spent here because of how good the people of this area been to me, and for all that reason, I am fighting alongside you all tonight because since I've been here, it's been what one championship, and that was the MAVs, and I cried and my brother worked for the team at the time, and that is, without question, my favorite basketball team. But there hasn't been too many popping a bottles and celebrations, and as big as sports fans as y'all are around here, you deserve
it. And I stand ready to fight beside you this evening. Thank you a little boy from South Florida. You've won my heart. Well that's all fair and good, but if you really cared, you'd go support the three college basketball teams from Texas on December sixteenth the Dickie's Arena. And when I say I'll fight beside you, I don't mean like you guys talk strategy back there and you send me up like front front lines. I kind of mean middle back of the fight, kind of where the brain trust is, emotional
support. More of a distance fighter too, sniper archery. Think think long range, don't think front. It would be that's pretty you were a frontline because that would not be the best way to use your skills. Yeah, exactly, it'd be a poor strategy. You real Texans can get right up front. You know, with clubs, you don't want to steal any valor. We don't. I don't want to steal any valor. I want you guys to have all the valor. I'll be back in the near back.
I'll be fighting. You'll be in the blue tint. I'll be in the blue tint right at to fight if called upon. But for all those reasons, I'm psyched for you guys, and tonight has the potential to be a night you've waited your whole lives for. And I think that's efing awesome. It's the longest current, longest tenured baseball team that hasn't won a World Series, I know, and never has. Isn't that correct? You may show that graphic last night that just thinks there is the Senators in nineteen sixty one
counting there. Yeah yeah, but even yeah, you can count that. I think you have to count that if you're talking about longest, longest runs without a chance, I mean, it's us, the Mariners, the Brewers, and the Rocky Now in the Rockies or Padres. Is like seven or eight teams. Rockies won one. I think, well they show No they didn't. That have never wait won lost to Boston. Yep, they have never won. Went Tampa Bay's never won one. Those are Larry Walker teams.
I don't think Seattles. Seattle's never won one. Seattle's never won. And you said San Diego Padres have never won? Thought Tampa Bay won one? Nope? Did they? I don't think they did, be right, Padre's Rockies, Rangers raised Brewers Brewers, that's right? And the Mariners. And when were the Brewers their first year as the Brewers? The Mariners has never even been to one. The Brewers, I don't know. Man tonight tonight and Frank Howard don't be around to see it. Yeah, see that
it was his time. I thought it was an interesting stat that he at the last home run as a Senator in the first home run as a Ranger. That's crazy. How old was he? Eighty seven? I don't know very players age. My good friend Jose Travino, who now plays for the Yankees, told me that his goal was to play to catch the last game at the ballpark in Arlington and catch the first game at Globe black Field. I think they made some roster decisions. I don't think he was that the
Milwaukee Brewers were established in sixty nine. Well cool, I don't. I mean, the Rangers are seventy two to me. Yeah, but they were a team that moved. It was it's the same team they moved from Washington. Well, the Baltimore Colts and are the same thing. They just changed their names. Yeah, but I'm talking about the heritage. The lineage of the team goes that far back. I think Milwaukee was a unique team that was established in nineteen sixty nine. Is it the lineage of the Ravens the
Browns? I don't know, Man, it doesn't matter. Texter Man says, my heart may actually stop if this happens. I was born in ninety two. My family had Ranger season tickets most of my life. One World Series will make all the August Day game heat strokes worth. It bleed for the Rangers and always will. You know you don't have to get a heat stroke, you can. I mean, once you start feeling dizzy and dehydrated, you should definitely go home. I don't go that far. I'm just
too late get ahead of it. They to go back to this. No, you definitely count your prior team. It's the same team. The Rangers weren't an expansion team. They were the Washington Senators, established in sixty one, moved to the Texas and I believe in seventy two, and that's when I start counting. I don't care about Washing because Milwaukee I don't know. You probably knew this, but they were founded as the Seattle Pilots sixty nine
played one year there, relocated to Milwaukee Hot a year later. I mean, so if we're talking about Oklahoma City thunder championships, do we count the Seattle SuperSonics. There is that. You see where I have an issue or I'm having a problem here. You don't think Quebec fans of the Nordeaks are celebrating Colorado Avalanche titles. I don't. I don't either, So you see what I'm saying. Now, that's for them. It doesn't matter what are
we arguing. It's not like the team doesn't. We're just talking about the logistics of the longest run. So Washington is not celebrating a potential Texas Rangers win. No, of course they're not. But as far as they franchise, as far as the advent of the franchise when they were established until now. The Rangers have existed as a franchise the longest of any League Baseball team without winning. I'm not fighting you on that. Yeah, but Milwaukee's been
the Brewers since nineteen seventy, but they existed a year before. So what I'm saying is the Rangers would be the second if it was just the current incarnation of what they are. I'm not fighting you on the specific technic technicalities of it. This is very much the Kermit. Was he a Muppet or was he on Sesame Street Conversation? It was both. He's known to the world as being a Muppet. He is a Muppet and gained fame and notoriety and infamy as a member of the Sesame st Test on the Muppets. Yeah,
later in life. We'll deal with that later. No, we won't. We're not going back to that. Well, my story is right time for him. Guys, go ahead and think about pizza or something. I don't know. Do your stories hit the themes? Have some fun cuttle bud, let's go. Well, the stories aren't even important, is it tonight? You're right, he played baseball, Luca plays tonight. MAVs. Can't
get a word word in edgewise. On the Home of the MAVs. Luca even tweeted said, go Rangers. Sorry, Dirk and I won't be there. Don't worry because I guess they're over. Yeah. In the press conference of the night he was, he was like, well, Dirk was there. He's a bum on Dirk. Luca was there too, sitting by him. He's funny. Yeah, he can't be funny sometimes. And it's weird that they're ten and zero on the road and that's the longest road wind streak
and franchise history. It's unbelievable regular season any right in that wild It's incredible. It's crazy. It's crazy why I'm always amazed and granted a lot of these quote unquote records that they're showing for playoffs slash World Series are kind of maybe more modern, analytics based second level records, but it seems like every game one of the two teams is claiming some new World Series record. Well that's because you get these nerds out there who can find a stat for anything.
Man. As you just said, and as Lucas said, I think maybe there's too many stats. You guys do your own yards lawn care? Hell no, what Danny typically? No, I'll do maintenance between The guy comes every two weeks, and I've got one, like I've told you, those analog push mowers with the little cylindrical blade. I'll hit that if it gets crazy in between mos. But no, can I tell you my setup that I think you might find relatively interesting? So I hired a dude.
I don't want to use names necessarily, this might be people you know. And he was moving to town and he did yards, right, So I paid him for the whole year, and he was like figuring out how to move here. So he in his stead, he would have our friend Chad, who you guys have met, come over to my house and cut my lawn, right, m h like because he wasn't here yet with all his equipment, but he was here a little bit. He did it and put some sprinklers in. Then he would go back and then Chad would kind of
fill in the gaps and do my lawn. So the first guy sort of disappeared, right he like it? No, Well, I hope not actually, And it's someone you know on Twitter and stuff. I don't want to really get into him. My god, sports geyser, it's not sports geyser. The lawyer doing my yard, but he sort of disappeared. He's lawyer. And then Moore Chad his friend who's our friend, my friend, sweet
dude, you know Chad. I don't want to say his last name for whatever reason, but he kept coming to do my yard and then one day he was like, dude, the other guy kind of just ghosted and He's like, I haven't been paid anything to do your yard for a while, because I already prepaid the other day for a year. And I'm like, what, no, dude, and I want and I paid him whatever.
So anyway, Chad, this guy who lives like by roller Town Brewery and has a regular job, he does no other yard work other than to drive down to Dallas just to do my would you put him out of his misery so he doesn't need the thirty five dollars that badly that but it's not you're paying more than thirty bucks to get your yard. Mode better be paying his gas money, No, kidd, God, isn't that an odd scenario. He's not like a professional, but I asked him and he's like, no,
I love doing this. You think now you let him come in? You give him beer a pring, Yeah, I give him beer. I give him Topo Chico watch you gave him or two together? Doing your yard is his connection to being able to be connected to a radio star. So he gets a free Dallas Observer subscription with that. No, he just gets to hang out with the great Mike Siroy. So he's willing to lose money in this endeavor. I got nothing going on later. If you watch the
game, gas is only seven dollars a gallon. But yeah, I'll be happy to come down and mow your yard for six cents. Sure, man, Yeah, I take it back. Oh you a nice guy. He's all you know him. He's like a legit. I'm friend. I want to be friends with Chad. Chad, you're getting hosed. It ain't worth it. It's probably not worth him to him. Okay, I'll send Pablo over. Do you have Pablo. Yeah, Pablo's great. Okay. Well, Dallas County is one of the nations knowing less, no problem all.
Dallas County is one of the nation's worst when it comes to pollution as a whole. One big problem is gas powered lawnmowers, and this has been discussed a little bit the past few months, but there's some more that came out this week. Lawnmower's, leaf blowers, other lawn of equipment generates this pollutant that's known as they're calling it a fine particulates, which is interesting. It's
a two stroke motor, two stroke engine. Man, there's no catalytic converter on that thing, well, no emissions control, creates these minuscule flex of pollution that gets lodged in your lungs. It can stick to your blood and then basically it's been blood Yeah, it's been linked to heart attacks and strokes and asmen, all this stuff. A report came out this week by three
big environmental groups. It is the gas powered lawn equipment emitted the fifth highest total in the United States in Dallas County, Tarrett County twentieth, Collin County thirty fifth. So we have a problems with gas powered ones. So a lot of people are like, well, what do you do, I'm going electric? You know, it's it's kind of a topic of conversation with automobile
industry, but not so much with gas powered lawn care. And two, it was discussed a few months ago that the city of Dallas was considering and in two years forcing people. You would be fined if you were caught with a gas powered line equipment, which would be very easy to find you because it's loud, and electrical powered line equipment is not loud. The studies authors urged and moved to electric powered line equipment in Dallas. They said, it's
cleaner, it's quieter. In the long run, it'll be cheaper than this fossil fuel powered equipment. The guy who wrote the article said, it's pretty sure that we've been tolerating so much harmful pollution and noise from cutting grass, and basically they're trying to get this to stop. But Dallas came in last this is two months ago. I believe this three months ago over the summer,
and they basically said, Nope, you can't do that. You can't start telling people what they can and can't do when it comes to cut their lawn. That there's gonna be a grace period where you're allowed to go out and buy your own electrical, you know, powered lawnmower. They were going to offer a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars rebate program into the city to
help people. The city is also trying to put a ban on gas power lawnmowers like with the city equipment, but then they backed off again because Texas legislators came in and they're like, no, you can't do that. So basically, noisy, more expensive over a long time and puts out pollutants that will kill you. Let's go with that instead of the other thing. I again, I am not talking about cars, so it'll be clear. Okay, it feels like we should just move on from the stuff that's killing us
and is louder and is more expensive over time. You need to get ready to start doing your own lawn because the thing is with getting these laws service equipments that do multiple jobs in a day. The benefit of the gas engine is the portability of it. You know, you're not going to be able to carry around an electric mower and have a battery life that's going to last all day to do all these jobs. Do you have anything they're not as
powerful? Yeah? How good are they? If they're fine? If it's just for your house, can you on one charge do your whole lawn? Yeah, depending on how big you are. Yeah, for yours of mine. Yes, absolutely, most people, yes, absolutely, probably even big one. I even looked into getting one, just doing my yard myself, getting an electric mower. I mean they're more expensive, but you're not paying for gas. No you don't have the lifespan of ten years or whatever.
No you're not. If you get one, you put my house in your rotation. Okay, jeez, Yeah, we'll be friends and then we cut. We're doing a favor for Chad. Yeah, cup Chad. He doesn't have to drive from roller Town once a week. I don't once he lose his ass. I'm doing the Siroy Serroy Manner landscaping boy. And there's some doodoo patties. He has some maneuver too. I get a little behind on those. That's the part, because I would that's I just I don't mind
the labor of doing it. It's but I don't have any equipment. Like to even start with the equipment I need, I'd have to spend so much money and then storage. I don't have a shed. This is what I have to do. I need to build a shed, and I need to have Chad come to my house and build a shed. Can he build a shed? I'm sure he can. He's got very strong forearms. He looks like he gets your she shed. Yeah, get my own she shed where I put on my lawn equipment. Well, I'm gonna build a shed.
I'm gonna buy a crappy shed. And there's gonna be wasp and spiders in there. I'm gonna be creeped out. I'm not gonna go in there. There's a wasp story where this guy was boxing and he swallowed a wasp. It's stung him on the mouth. Is that story you have or is that just gonna get to it when you ran out of time? Well, I have a weight champion, you know, hear about it? Next two birthdays. Then I've already DoD birthdays. We did him an hour ago. And
you remember all this story about the guy who swallowed the wash. Next and Downbeat Dual returns Sugar Rush addition. Next the Freak
