Let's play Eliminador tomorrow on Thursday and Friday.
Run it right into the ditch, yeah, smash it in, and then I'm stashing that away with our other monthly segments like Neighborhood Watch, Yeah, food, food and the game stop about the Atlas Shrug, the Atlas Shrug Worldwide and the one we never got to the pole dance. Yeah, what are we doing tomorrow? I want do you want to mention if we're going to do the show? I do want to mention, uh freaking the weekends back this Friday at the Hub Sports Bar in Addison. You can see the
Ben and Skin Show and the Speakeasy. That's forty one forty five belt Line Road, the Hub Sports Bar ten to six double remote with the Ben and Skin Show and the Speakeasy this Friday afternoon. Hell yeah, let's just scuttle butt structed by advanced hair restoration. All right, here we go. So Boeing has been in the news a lot, and I know everyone's got a
little Plaine fatigue, but this one's kind of big. Sixty two year old John Barnett, a former Boeing employee was found dead Saturday due to a self inflicted gunshot wound. Found him in his car a parking lot of the hotel he was staying at in Charleston. He was in Charleston because he was testifying, wasn't he He was testifying. Yes, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. He worked at Boeing for thirty two years.
He retired in twenty seventeen, and he had been talking. He worked as a quality manager making the seven eight seven Dreamliner, which we kind of covered last week. Yeah, it was he one of the featured talking heads in the John Oliver piece. You know what, I don't know if that was him. There's another featured guy who I've seen a lot in YouTube clips and I was looking for yesterday, but I couldn't find anything of him.
But he might have been. Uh. In twenty nineteen, he told the BBC that workers had deliberately been fitting substandard parts to aircrafts on the production line in order to make more planes faster. So he also said he uncovered serious problems with the oxygen systems on the plane, which meant only one in four breathing masks would work in an emergency. So he was on top of all
that stuff. And that's what he'd been saying in this testimony. And he was supposed to go back to court on Monday, and he wasn't there, and then I go, okay, let's check the hotel. Okay, nothing and they found him in his truck. Dang when he was supposed to go that day to court. So he just they think it happened Saturday. He was supposed to go back to court on Monday for more. I wonder what the nature of his testimony was going to be that day. It made me
think of a lot of things. It made me think, Okay, a someone hit, It was a hit done. It made to look like a suicide. B Did he think he was Maybe said too much and maybe he had lied and committed perjury maybe who knows. Or maybe he was having problems at home. Yeah, maybe mental health state was too could be a number of reasons why somebody would you know what? Maybe he was just tired of it all? Yeah yeah, yeah. Do you ever feel tired of it
all? Mikey, Well, not anywhere near to that level, but I mean to some level, to a certain degree, Mike's known to close his eyes while driving for fifteen seconds and then just open them up. And I'm just gonna say, Jesus, take the will. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Have you ever been tired of it all? Where you hid under your coffee table for three hours? No? I don't think so, Kevin. Kevin, we want you happy. You stay out
from hont of that coffee table, that's right. We don't want you to get eliminated, Kevin. I don't want to be eliminated. Good. Then it's all gonna work out unless it's on my terms. And that's why. Probably too dark for a morning show. Happy Tuesday, Metroplex, Woo woo, give us some uplifting stories. Kevin come oup at nine oh five the Frenkel and Frankel Free Agency Freeway full speed ahead, so NFL's new homes for
free agents. He gave a formal deposition, and then he got questioned by Boeing's lawyers as well before being cross examined by his own And then he was gonna go I'm sorry, he was due, I said Monday. He was due to forego to undergo further questioning on Saturday, and that is when it happened. So Saturday here was just to go out to court and he did not appear. So in his truck boeing. I imagine he was telling the truth, right, and then this the stress of this. I don't do
that. I never do that, Never do it. No one heard one. Don't hurt yourself, don't hurt other people, don't hurt anyone. Don't hurt Yeah, don't hurt pets. I did see another story, and this is putting no details, but it was another flight, and it was someone didn't have their seat belt on and the flight they were on just as I took off, and a person that was sitting in their seat and upit in the ceiling of the plane threw up in the air plane went went down like
ten thousand feet out of nowhere real quick. I did hear about that. You gotta stay buckled up right if I'm sitting in the seat. Yeah, loosely buckled, definitely. It's definitely not enough to it's it better be a long flight for me to have to get up and walk around. Really. Yeah, you don't go to the vape closet the plane. No, I don't go to the vape closet, otherwise known as the lab the lavatory. No, I can't remember the last time I used a plane turlet really just
always go before and pretty pretty good skill at holding it. Can take a stroll. Not that drag bought the whole plane. This was a Boeing seven eighty seven that suddenly dropped due to a technical problem on its flight from Sydney to Auckland. It injured twenty four people, including the one guy who slammed up against the ceiling plane. Wow, he's got the indention of the vent on the top of his head ower. He bonged the stewardess button. It's
nogging. They try to make him feel better with pretzels. That's gonna be scary, right, obviously if something like that happens. But you can see everyone else is buckled up, and you see one club go flying up and it's really amazing. Stay buckled, I say, loosely buckled. But if some Turby hits M kind of just snug it up a little bit, snug it up. I don't know, man, This is another another wrinkle in this never ending story of bulling. Bitch. Want you scared, Kevin?
Yeah, I guess so, but they want you scared and obedient, not a wildflower like me, you know, growing wild. I think I am on a boeing to Italy in April. For a while, I looked up the plane that you're gonna be on good Luck. Yeah, it's my biggest fear, really is the plane crash into the good Luck. It's up there with buried alive. You're up over the ocean. Ninety plus percent of that flight h deep water. I know you probably are gonna pass directly over about
one million sharks. Yeah, hungry sharks. You ever see open water? Yeah, basically that hungry sharks. Even if you make it, if you survive and get in a little raft, sharks. I won't get a raft though, because I'll be noble. Yeah, you'll just be treading water. No, you're gonna be shoving old ladies out of the way. Move. I have a radio show. I don't want to go anything more. Does
any have a coffee table? I just want to remind you that your seat can be used as a flotation device, Kevin, unless it's a bowling plane. Those are made out of it. Those are made out of real marble. It's like just a seat, like it's terrifying, right, yeah, oh it is suir. I mean, of course, the thought of crashing, yeah, of course, but just imagine surviving and you are dead middle of the Atlantic. Go kill me. I mean, dude, you got on these little rafts. I have lived a good life, and I think
we always picture the ocean is maybe being more calm than it is. I mean, there can be some big boy waves. We did the story last year Fish, the girl that sailed around the world that like she was, she could have died multiple times and she had some dangerous waters. H But what if you need to take charge. I don't do that, dude. You need to help people off the plane, get them to rafts. Six
people here, six people here, dude. They need a leader, Kevin, I frankly think in that situation you might snap into becoming that leader that you're Yes, No, they're panicking too, you kidding. They don't know what to do. They might get the door open, maybe the slide down rafts, maybe, but we need leadership. I think I just rammed my head into the seat next to me until I pass out because I don't want to experience the trauma of that event and just hope someone drags you into the
raft. Okay, got a new concert venue coming to the metroplegs are guessing this I did just this morning. Yeah. There's a company out of Colorado Springs called Notes Live and they've announced planned for a two hundred and twenty million dollar music venue in McKenny. Twenty thousand seat venue, good god Bier, two hundred and ninety five firepit suites, Danny, and it's going to be on a big forty six acre site to the northeast of seventy five and one
one. Okay, so all the way up seventy five and one twenty one, twenty thousand. It's going to be called Sunset Amphitheater. Well yeah, until it gets sponsored by some Seltzer sure, but that's a cool name, Sunset Amphitheater for today. Now, so they realized they went over budget and they need to bring on yeah t mobile chips a hooy. I wonder if this Note's Live though, because it's a company out of Colorado Springs, they
might have enough money to do this. They've announced Amphitheaters in Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, and it says they have temperature controlled turf for the lawn, a state of the art airflow system to be used during the hot Texas summers, wide seats with access to gourmet food and drinks and landscaped grass berm. That'll be back there, So multiple hit me with a little more
on the temperature controlled turf, please. The airflow will keep the temperature inside twenty degrees cooler than it is outside, but the turf turf will always be seventy degrees. But is it's an amphitheater, so to my understanding, that would be outside. Honestly, I'm looking at the rendering. It looks almost exactly like Texas Live right, Texas Live, Texas Live, Yeah, where it's like mostly covered inside, probably with the garage options, and then it
does expand out to a lawn. I bet the closest thing that we could call the sun where Hailstorms playing August eleven, Home of Hell be there. Toy and Music Factory is Lindsay one of my favorite places to see a show. Legit like now they got parking once they put it in there and get the parking figured out, their sound systems worked out. Now, that's one of the first shows there and it sounded like Wilco was playing through a jam box. They got it all figured out good, and they can't open up
the lawn if they need to back there. But it's not like crazy long like you know what do sequis, which is fine, but do seki. It's just tough in the summer. It's just so tough to see a show there in the middle of the summer because it's hot. This is interesting, little new one up there. So do you think they're like vents underneath the fake turf. I don't know, but it said seventy the turf will always be seventy degrees. Interesting, we'll see it, says also, I mean
twenty thousand is big, we'll see really big. I mean that is American Airline Center. I don't think does STARplex. That's it's a little bigger around, a little bigger. H Dickey's is fourteen thousand, Toyota Music Factory is eight thousand, and this is twenty. This is gonna be twenty okay, So it's just a bigger version. And here's what's going to happen For the first six months. They are going to book everybody because they're going to overbudget
for acts. They're going to outbid other venues. For big name acts and that that bird always comes home to roost because you realize, ooh, how much did we overpay for these bands? And then six months a year into it, then it gets competitive again and then you'll see what they're made of. But think about this. We've talked about this a lot. Everything's going north. Yeah, that's fine. And McKenny people, McKenny have money, they do. I actually think this gonna work. I think this is gonna
work. I mean, yeah, it's in devils in the details. It depends on how well a business it's run. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I always say. Everybody says it, Oh there's money, and Alan and McKinney. It's like, isn't it more expensive to live in Dallas than it is up there? It seems to me like the money would be in Dallas. If you can afford to live in the city, you're probably doing okay,
those are questions. I don't know. It's just because everything looks new up there, so it feels like it's you can get more square footage for the dollar if you go north. Well, another option to see concerts I like it. Our turf is temperature control. That's always seventy Our concessions are gourmet kvoh lies of waterworker gay promoting it's not the sun the sunset empathy. We're the twin brothers of Whataburger Gap. Please visit the chips of horse Theater.
That's right now would be the sun as the moon is giming over it. On April eighth, around one pm, we've got free cookies, bet chips a hoy suthing's it theater delicious in beautiful McKinney, Texas. We bet you do bite the ship. That's right. Really great slogan is bet you bite a chip. Because they're proud of how many chips they have. They're guaranteeing there's going to be a chip in there in every bite. Bete chip
everybody. You can take the smallest bite and they bet you are. Now you can take one small enough to not get a chip, especially if you look you gotta work for it though. Yeah, like you're going out of your way not to get a chip. That wasn't the bet we made. You've been eliminated. Where's the water Burger twins Butch and Kyle? Okay,
Also the scuttle butt's been eliminated. See you get ready for some Frenkel action up in this metroplex right now, because we got a live spot coming, plus the Franklin Frinkle Free Agency Freeway next on ninety seven one in the Free
