This is a downbeat on ninety seven one freak. We are thirty minutes away or less from the downbeat singing boxes of chocolate? How many pieces of chocolate we have in there? Because I want to ditch one of my pieces of chocolate? I think that would put us out eleven if we have twelve? You have? We have five, six or eight five chocolates for me? You know I have Trace chocolates, sleesh, So you have two. I think I want to ditch one. It's just it's just not that funny.
It's not about funny. It's about quality. No, it's about effort. No, it's about all right, I'll do all the audience liking it. I don't know what it's about. I think it's just mean. And it's not that funny. Mean, it's mean. It's Valentine's Day. What would be possibly mean about a Valentine's Day song? Yeah, this is about love and the expression of love to someone you care deeply for, Okay, and that's what this segment represents. Well, that's not how my chocolates came out.
By one that's really good. I know that based on the break when we all had headphones on, We're rehearsing. Danny's going last. Now you heard a piece of his chocolate. I heard you make comment that I'm moving it. Danny will go last. Okay, either way, downbeat, singing boxes and chocolate coming at eight o'clock, nine o'clock Mojo dojo ladies. Oh, we got a couple of good ones coming in. What's up? Yeah?
Keep texting them in two four see text it. You can also leave talkbacks too, because we will listen to those, and it'd be nice to hear your actual voice on the radio. Yeah, sexy voice today, helly, exy voice. Do we have a police chase? Someone said that we had a police chase. I'm trying to find out a little more on that because we'll have one TV in here right now cause their direct TV box has been off for three weeks ago. Have you restarted it? But the person
said was on Fox might be over already. Yeah, I have unplugged it and restarted it. So I think I think it's going to take someone scaling the building and shaking the satellite. I don't know. I'll i'll head up there. I really don't know how it works, but yeah someone yeah, I texted in not sometimes you can fool this when you text and stuff. But this person said was on Fox, might be over already, And I asked where, where tell me more? And I got nothing out, nothing
back. So you know there. If we find out more about a police chase going down in DFW, we will let you know a SAP probably in the scuttle But nothing on my police chase accounts either, so I don't know. We'll see. So the first story I'd like to get into in the scuttle butt involves kyote or kyote, because we had an attack in Arlington on Saturday. Okay, now, this was at a park called Parkway Central Park in North Arlington on Van Buren Saturday. A child was bit by a kyote.
Oh, they closed the park last night when they were notified that a second child was bitten. What the hell? And it was believed to be by the same kyote. They will go after toddlers man they did recently. One of Julie's person that lived in Julie's neighborhood is like a two year old bit run the front porch, Is that right? Yeah? I didn't hear that just a couple of years ago, but yeah, god knows. What
crap they're carrying around, you know, yeah, crap teeth. So they've Animal Services has set out traps they're trying to trap, but they closed the park last night. As far as we know nothing. Now here's the thing with coties. You can get confused if you're not seeing very well if it looks like if it's a dog or not, because it's to the untrained eye. Yeah there, But they're around. I see them all the time all the time. Uh. And Richardson lived in the village in Dallas. When
I live there, we see them all the time. Why are they there in the middle of the day, crossing the street? What do they do? They are they underground? Like where are they at? The tunnel? Sources of water? Typically, and I live in a neighborhood that has a creek that runs through if you want to call it a creek, I think it's just a filter for trash for the most part. But yeah, there's
then that's where they they get their water sources. And there's other animals that, you know, other smaller animals, rats, possum that they'll they'll eat. That's how that's how they thrive. But man, they are not opposed to messing with toddlers or other smaller animals that are out and about. They lived six to eight years in a while, it says up to twenty one years in captivity. But I don't know. To live in the middle of
a metroplex, I guess you don't have a choice. But it just seems like they would have migrated out over the years and gotten the hell away from this. Why would you live at the village? The thing is, when I saw one, there's the most telling one recently, about a year and a half ago, I still lived to the village. I was driving to work and it ran out in front of the road, but also ran out in front of the side of where a person was jogging on the sidewalk,
and they stopped and froze, and it ran into this parking lot. So I flipped my car around drive into the parking lot. There's an old lady getting groceries out of her car, you know. So I parked my car for a minute and kind of got out to kind of like, WHOA, you're ready to go? Coyote attacks the old lady. You were, You're ready. Look, not all of us are born that way, but you are. You parked your car and you were ready to spring an action.
You are a man of action. Kevo, fight the coyote. We're gonna just terry tate the coyote. If you went to the old lady, I think I was gonna re run it a go full just Goldberg, a full lot of water boy. I can see katv in a psycho water boy like, yeah, football, imagine something traumatic from the past and then and let it bring out the anger. Yeah, yeah, that's what you're gonna do. You're gonna defend the old lady. I think, so does it? Try You got out of your car but could find him? Hee say he
was gone, Like he wasn't there. That's too big of a bite. Though. For the coyote, that don't think. I don't think they typically go after adults. I think so try to get something they know that they can drag and you know what, Danny, they shouldn't go after adults, but use In Rhode Island, a hiker killed a rabid coyote with his bare hands. What hell. Yeah, he's hiking. He gets attacked by the
coyote and uh gotter I'm sorry, bit him on the leg. Okay, he's and basically he took the coyote was able to pin it down and then got it by his neck and choked it out. Isn't that crazy? Wow? But they're not that big either. Yeah, they did determine that that coyote had rabies, because the problem with this one is we don't know if
it's got rabies or not because we can't find the coyote. And the kids are obviously gonna get tested sap and you have to destroy They always say destroy the coyote and then they have to take out their brain and that's how they test for rabies. Isn't that crazy? That's what I grew up knowing.
Look that I don't know about you guys, but you know, growing up in Texas for the better part of my life and mostly rural Texas, it was hammered into me to stay away from rodents, particularly skunks if you saw them during the day, because you're gonna get rabies. And if you get rabies, you're gonna have to get a series of shots in your stomach. Yeah. I remember hearing that, and that just terrified. I don't want shit like and the needles this long. Yeah, it's a square what square
needle? Like? Man? I do not want rabies, like to this day, it's like, uh, I don't think you want rabies, old yeller, Right, We think about the foam and mouth. I mean that's I look for mouth foam when I see wild animals. Still, they're just wild people that you know, maybe too, this guys up to something. Textman says coyotes are now in every single city in the US. They've been spoted in Central Park and subways in New York coyotes. There was one on
the subway that was nuts. There was one on the subway in New York. In fact, one of one of my every beds, modest Mouse, wrote a song called Coyotes about the sub the couties on the subway. But they also had like a huge snake on the subway the other day too. You never know, I mean, you're just rolling the dice. If you're gonna go live in the big city and get on the sub all the time, you could be I mean a huge snake and the people didn't eve nact
what they're reacting to it. You know, just kind of know, yeahs a big, big ass snake over there. It's weird. Weird. So that's the thing too about this coyote they're like traps, We're gonna do coyote traps. I think the couty is probably just gonna like move on. Look, going back to the park. Aren't there specific like tactical units in local law enforcement, especially in larger cities, that have specifically trained guys that are that their sole job is to act as snipers? Aren't? And how often
do they get a call where they're needed? Hey, we need to get a sniper on top of that building to take out this you know this, this guy in a hostage situation. Just go plant some snipers out in the woods overnight with their stuff on and take those bastards out back in May. No, you're right, you're right, because, like I mean, they would love it. Here's the problem, right, here's the problem. Love that. So they had in Dallas. Do you know what happened on the
is this back in May of twenty twenty two? And I did look this up and that the kid that was I told you was in Julie's neighborhood, like they thought they saw another coyote in the park and the cop was running after it in the park and shot at it and missed, Which I'm like, bro, you weren't close enough to it to hit it. Did he hit the ground and oil came up and they became a millionaire? No?
No, But then he started going uh. He said he thought it was the coyote and the description, And I'm like, how could you take because if you missed, then that means you were too far away to tell, or you were up close and missed and you're a bad shot, which is another problem. No small to hit critical mass on a coyote, which is like forty pounds moving and you've got a handgun. It's hard. Yeah, it ain't like TV. That's why we need trained snipers. Yeah, that's
what I'm saying. Dust off their gilly suit and hide in the hills. Yeah, with all that brush on them. I think you've ever been in the crosshairs of someone sniper your whole life, not literally, remember the DC's secretively every day the d Yeah, that's wild, dude, for like a year, maybe longer. Hell, I might still think this when I fill my car up with gas, because they were that's how they were getting some people. I stay on the move. You're Oscar, Mike, I'm Oscar.
I'd bob a little bit. I just stay on the move. I don't like to just lean on the car and stay on the move just in case. So the mom of the mom of Landon Knox Thomas, this is back when, back in May twenty two, since she walked outside and found her two year old kid and the coyote had its head and its mouth wrapped around its head. Yeah, like trying to carry him off. That same day, Dallas Animal Service revealed that he had received thirteen calls regarding coyotes.
Now, the kid was okay, though he had stitches, and it could have been way worse, clearly, but I think he ended up being okay, not a problem. Now, that was a long time. Were going to remember that, but I saw that story. Once you have anything, I haven't sad any huge updates, Like they've shut down the park and they're set up traps, so hoping to find this one, and like, how do you know it's the one? Cowdies looked the same, PLEI were gonna
pick those apart. You can't even tell. It's weird. It's weird when you see them during the day too, just loping across the street. Don't don't just go into the creek, yes, looking for anything. They're desperate. They're starving all the time. If it's partially because our like you said, creeks, there's nothing but trash. Oh I hate it. I'm gonna playing golf at Stevens and there's a nice creek that kind of dances through. It's a beautiful golf course, and it's crashes and golf balls and tons of
vice golf ball. Why is everyone hitting their golf balls into the creek? Keep it on the We've just given up? Or like look, no, no, no. What they do is they probably let it accumulate to a point where it's really bothersome, and then they go do it all at once. You know. It's like how often do you wash your car? You know a fun fact? You know what I'm saying. It's like that mentality. Okay, ever, I'm at two years. You have a white Jeep though I have never once washed it. Really Yeah, the outside, I
just wait on rain. I many detail the inside just a week ago. Well, your car is white, I would never know that it was dirty. Mine's black, and it's a day after a car wash. It's got dust and it just doesn't look good. Yeah. But I'm the same way, like I wait until it is okay, all right, fine, let's go. It's finally the same thing. Oh look, what the world needs is the Augusta maintenance crew to just scrub the world. If the if the
world looked like the Masters, that's what we do. That's what we need. Just beauty. Find those people and also pay them. I say it all the time, and if this resonates with one person, it's worth saying again, stop littering. Yeah, do not litter. It's like the It's like the one simple f you to everyone else around you that you just voluntarily do and I hate it, and I, by proxy then hate the people who do it, who care so little about each other. Don't litter,
It's pretty easy. Littering is the Littering is the equivalent of crapping your pants. Like we have a place, it's the equivalent of crapping someone else's pants. I mean like yeah, I guess yeah, because you just walk away. Something like like if somebody if you're like you know, at at I don't know, some Nashville hot chicken spot, you're blacing in order, and some guy walks up to you and he opens up the back of your pants
and sticks his butt over it and craps in your pants. That's literally that's the same thing. And you you don't want to be on either end of that. And the weird thing is is if you've ever once in your life said the words don't mess with Texas and you litter double f you. I mean, it's a campaign against littering, right, yeah. The crying native different Now I'm from here and Willie Nelson's song attached to it. Isn't that what it is? What is rooted in? Yeah? The Native American that
was crying predated that don't mess with Texas. That was more of a national campaign. Okay, well, don't mess with Texas. I bet you proudly say that and whip your Baja blast out the window. Okay, a Baja blast unless they got it from Taco Bell, like, do it. Someone listening right now who litters regularly, just stop? Please stop. My dad was a serial litterer, really yeah, not just cigarette butt launch out the window. Strangely enough, he was more concerned about launching SIGs out of the
window because he didn't want to start a fire. So that the factory ash tray that came with the Ford Galaxy five hundred was strategically heaped to a pile of sig butts that still to me to this day. I don't know how in the world that that mountain of butts didn't just fall over, but somehow it maintained perfect, perfect balance, and he could always get one more on it before he'd empty out the ash tree at some lousy ass gas station.
But beer cans we do. He had this trick where he kind of half cracked the window when he's done with his Schlitz or whatever, stick the can against the window so the the suction of that one window being opened, the can's kind of wedge there, and then you just roll crank the window down and just watching go. That's kind of cool. Yeah, it's cool.
Those little kid was like, that's badass. We had a little hangout off the beaten path and only there's a little you know, and then you go out of town a little bit back road, you know, the drum will hang out a little place it at a little pond. Kevin and I are connecting right now. Just stand by. But my beer of choice in high school when I was too young to drink but still had people who would buy it for me. Uh weirdly affiliated with the school which is odd, but
whatever. Uh cores like bottle for me. A lot of people just take the Keystone route as is cheaper you can get more. But was like bottle, it was distinctive. Uh. Yes, you just throw it into the tank here, damn reaissance man. Problem is when you realize that that land you were on is one of your friends as family, and that pond drives out in the summer, they find covers like bottled down at the bottom of the tank. Who are they coming looking for? Yeah, yeah, that's
Kevin. It was like a known thing, like, oh God, that's him. He was the one doing it. And now I don't litter. Don't let her, I learned, because we know where to put our waists. You wouldn't just crack your vants. There's a trash can on every corner.
I remember the last time I litter a Snickers wrapper out the window when I was in high school and this old couple was behind me at a red light and they just lay it on the horn for like a full thirty seconds, and I look back and they're just kind of palms up, like the hell was that? And instead of me going if you old man, which you know is an option, when you're at when you're a teen. It is often the best option. It's the first option. I let it resonate,
and it hit me. I'm like, in a what the hell haven't lettered sense? I mean, I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't put my life on that. I'm sure some accidental littering. Your actions have saved the planet. You know what. This goes to show, thank you. This goes to show that people can change, Kevin. People can't change. People can't change. Rather than being defensive and being angry and covering up for what you know is it is a mistake or making his accuses, you let it
simmer. You processed it, You took ownership of the situation. You did something to affect change in your life. Yes, therefore affecting other people look at you. So let's make today this guy, Valentine's Day, the day of love February fourteenth, the day that you stop littering, The day that you say you know what, love, I love the earth that we would do on Earth Day, but love, Love Love Day. Coming up next will wrap up the Zeros Power Hour with another Danny spot and singing boxes of
chocolate in stores. Today we'll give you a preview of what they sound like next. On ninety seven, won the Free
