This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one The Freak. Did you guys know that there's been three home runs and World Series Game one history that tied a game or turned to loss into a win. Okay, ninth inning Game one World Series home run that tied a game or turned to loss into a
win ninth inning or later, no, just ninth inning. Okay, so three times, Kurt Gibson, Alex Gordon did it in twenty fifteen Friend of Groups, and then Corey Seeker Corey Seeger three times, and then you had basically because it was a walk off in the eleventh kind of a Kurt Gibson
moment too with Adule's crazy. We have some more Ranger stuff but later in the show, including you're gonna want to hear Evan Carter's postgame interview from Game one, and also we've got a a song that we've got our hands on ahead of everyone else. But we'll also review our Ghost Pepper Pavilion Cowboys picks coming up at eight o'clock. It's two what ifs and it's probably not even worth talking about, but I was thinking what if we were had we still
had the outside stadium. It's pretty crowdy all weekend, and then the second what half is if the three games were being like today, if we're hosting a one series game today is what I essentially was thinking. So there's two Friday night, the door should roof should have been opened? In my opinion, it was seventy five degrees. Who is a little humid. We had get some rain and maybe that makes it sticky, but it was seventy five degrees at first pitch time Friday night. Like, would there be a game
tonight? Well, we're in Arizona. I know that's I mean, that's with the five pm start there. Do we have the advantage there with a five pm start in Arizona other than seven? No, think it matters. No. Man, If I'm the MLB and you're unless you're a stadium that just doesn't have if you've got the option to keep it shut, I would just keep the damn thing shut. Especially in the World Series. Yeah,
risky when you're outside. Yeah, but I don't know. There's just a there's a definite distinction between the convertible stadium having the roof open and feeling like you're outside then being at Wrigley Field, for example. There it just feels different. If you just feels like you're in an indoors it feels like you're in a car with the sun roof open, as opposed to being in an actual convertible. I don't like Tip cut twenty games off the regular season and
then don't play the World Series in November. Well yeah, I love it right up. So check for two hundred and fifty or whatever it is. I guess your revenue lost by doing a billion. Before we get to the scuttle butt, I have an update on the downbeat Saturday Night Live draft. We've been waiting for the update. Danny leads one to nothing. We each drafted ten celebrities and that could be a host or musical guests. This is
a k T labor of love and honored to participate. And Danny got a point for the Foo Fight Us, who were on with comedian Nate Bargatzi. Cameo from Christopher Walkin to pronounce it correctly for the first Jostopher Walkin came out and announced the Foo Fighters brought them on, and he did it. He did it right. Yeah he shouldn't. Did he make a joke? Did he say let me try this again? No, it was just he just said ladies and gentlemen, the Foo Fighters. Okay, did he pronounce like
pronounce it a little bit? Yeah, okay, that's funny. It was kind of funny. He didn't say the full fighters, the full fight us. But they did announce they're off next week. But they didn't announce their host and musical guests for the November eleventh episode. And I can tell you that one member of the show has gained a point. Oh okay, so he told you this is fun, this is fun. Bill it you need to tell us now, I tell you right now, Danny leads it one
to nil. Right. Correct. Your musical guest for November eleventh is the band Boy Genius. I don't think I took them. I don't think anybody took them. I don't think anybody's ever heard I think I've heard of You've heard of Boy Genius, haven't. You haven't I've heard of them? Why would you? Because there like a big indie band. Yeah, Danny, they're not a boy band. No, a bunch of gals. Phoebe Bridgers is in it. Hey, well you've never heard of that. No?
Then I listen to the freak and listen to music. Okay, you're an idiot, me too, Kevin. Your host is Timothy Schallo. May Mike Saroll on the board as you selected it in the fourth round, Timothy Shallow May, why I am happy? Oh yeahtting down the hallway one? One oh yeah. Game on, folks, Wow, game on. So me and Daddy have one? Yep? How many does he have? Zero? My phone case is going to be a foot. I have obsessed with what we need to win, so it's not the damn foot the fights. So
there's that. Just want to update you guys. Thank you that stuff. What's did the scuttle butt now? The scuttle Butt each day is brought to you by Parker University Parker dot edu. We had a celebrity death that we found out about Saturday Night. Friends star Matthew Perry found unresponsive hot tub pronounced dad at the age of fifty four Saturday night. The investigation has showed that
no drugs of an illegal nature were at his residence. He did have his you know, normal prescription pills, and he did have a lot of those. TMZ reported that he was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi after playing two hours of pickleball. Up at Riviera, one of the beautiful golf courses Mike near his home in Pacific Palisades. He was in good spirits during the game.
According to sources, he had was going home after the pickleball game asked his assistant to go pick up a new iPhone for him and some prescription glasses. Two hours later, the assistant returns home, finds him unresponsive in the jacuzzi, calls nine to one one and he's dead. Now we know and have known that Matthew Perry has been dealing with really addiction to drugs and alcohol for a long time. And what drugs do we know? I knew alcohol was
a big one. I know it was prescription pill Was that the main one? Yes? I mean he had been led to He'd been the hospital for a few times over the past twenty thirty years because of this. And now he said that in his book that he'd been half his life in treatment and rehab facilities. And this happened during the show too. During Friends, he was going through a lot of stuff, as was in a big jet ski accident in nineteen ninety seven, and that kind of set in motion his addiction
to painkillers. So he said that back then in the day. This is in his memoir, there was at least earlier in the year. He said that he was taking fifty five pills a day at one point in his life. God, you at once when it checked in the rehabit one hundred and twenty eight pounds. Jesus, really. You know, you'd see paparazzi photos
of him over the last couple of years and he's looking big. You know, Yeah, he would fluctuate a lot, but you know what we had seen two According to a couple of reports, he had fell in love with pickleball over the last couple of years and it was kind of his his thing. He always he'd made a pickleball shrine at his place, which sounds crazy, but when you live in the Pacific Palace Age, you could make a
shrine to anything, and it's not that outlandish. Here's some of the things that he's dealt with over the years and exploded colon a stint on life support, two weeks in a coma, nine months of the colostomy bag, and more than a dozen stomach surgeries. The pills just ate up, ate him up. Is that really directly attributed to the pill abuse? Good god man. Alcohol. Yeah, nine stomach surgeries, said more than a dozen,
nine months at the colostomy bag at one point. That sounds to me like there was no evidence of illegal drugs just lying around his house, like he just body just said, okay, fifty four considering what you did to yourself, a pretty good run, I guess, and then just fails and you just happen to be in the hot time. Been drowned to drowned to death? Is that what they're saying that he drowned drowned in the hot tub. Early speculation is a heart attack, That's what I bet it is. But
I don't think they have the official cause yet. They do not. They do not, and they're waiting on a toxicology report, which we know takes weeks, could take a while. Now. Look, I don't know if it's the most appropriate thing, but this is something that I do know about because I've seen some of this online. If you want to go down a weird little conspiracy theory, we can. So he was go ahead. I typically would too, but I think it's a little interesting he was calling himself
because his last social media post is him in the hot tub. I mean, hell, He's always in the hot tub on Friends. It seems to think about it, it's just a lot of episodes of him in the hot
tub. But he was calling himself Batman, like Batman, and he had a bunch of like he had this like Batman signal, just like the Batman signal m hm, and he would like call weirdly it was he was on social media, would call it mat Man and he would show the signal and one of them on his last post or second the last post, he's showing he's putting the mat Man's signal up on his ceiling and he's taking a picture of it, and he had done it in the hotel. And this is
over all over the course of the last two or three weeks. Is the interview with Diane Sawyer not too long ago, and play this audio for you. How will we know when you're in trouble and you're not okay if I say I'm just gonna chill alone at home time now, who knows? Man, This guy has had a lot of dark places that he's gone to in his life. I just discovered yesterday his stepdad's Keith Morrison of NBC The Old Guy. Wait, the guy that yeah, Keith Morris. Could it have
been a murder? Is that the guy Bill Hater is obsessed with? I didn't you're kidding. That's a step Daly crap. I love that, dude. Okay. I I the first part of that story before you played the interview. Yeah, I didn't really follow. What's the conspiracy part? Yeah? The conspiracy Matt Man that he he had enough, he got in the hotel, took a much appeals. What does that have to do with the Batman signal? He was giving the signal for help, to call for help.
Oh, I swear to god, I thought you were gonna say that. The conspiracy is that he was like going out and fighting crime like it's some sort of vigilante just as a little like a fun thing as Matt Mann Chandler's fighting. One of the villains of LA did him in. So you're but why does it all connect? Man? It's just people. You brought it up together. I know, because I'm a jerk. It sounds to me like the poor, poor bastard's body just gave up. Do you see
what he looks like a week ago? Sure? Yeah, I think you do. Yeah, I do. One week ago he went to watch it the friend Okay, yeah, with a friend or just a friend. It just looks like a normal, you know, fifty four year old man that doesn't really work out much. Yeah, the mirror me not pretty much every day, Mikey. Thanks, thanks for connecting the dots. He was eating an apple pan, a popular LA spot for burger sandwiches and pies. Apple
pan on an apple pan. I love an apple pan. You know, I don't know what your experience or growing up watching Friends was, but for me it was, you know, early nineties, my early twenties. He and I were the same age. I mean I watched that show a lot, and I thought it was really funny and really smart for the time. And without him, that show does not work. Without him, no hilarious. He was great, yes, and he never got his He never got
his second act. You know, they try how lucky to get one in that business, but when you get the one, I think you end up chasing that second one, especially when it's such a defining roles. Is that when you're so big at one thing, I think you end up kind of chasing that that dragon to try to reinvent it. Now they try to revamp the odd couple at one point that never really took off, But I think
that was probably his best. Studio sixty on the Sunset Strip, yeah, which was playing off the success of thirty Rock right, and they I mean, there are people who say that Studio sixty on the sins that strip just got the cord pulled on it to two sents. Some people think that was a good show. I don't think I ever saw it, But when you think about it, I'm just speaking to the male characters on that show.
Whoever number one wrote it, but number two, the casting was perfect when you when you had those three completely different personality types, and Chandler was he was the self deprecating, smart ass, smart elegy kind of edgy comic for maybe a little ahead of his time for the early nineties. I don't know, that was a really wickedly sharp, funny show as much as it's a punchline. You know, if you were there in the time and of that
age. There was such a cultural phenomenon too, because it was kind of on the I don't know, I guess Cheers had started a number of years earlier than that. Yeah, okay, so yeah, you you kind of the evolution of the TV sitcom. It was the next the next step, and I think you had Seinfeld kind of currently. Yeah. Yeah, that was a big, big time for television comedy. Man, that's a huge Thursday night NBC thing. Who else was on that? So Fraser was the
late part. It was friends then usually I think it was Will and Grace, Yeah, and Seinfeld would be at eight and then Fraser would be at eight thirty, and then later on you had like Whitney. I mean that was two thousand and nine. I mean you're fifteen years past it, but yes, Whitney was in that bubble of parks and rec and community. That was the last good run of that parks and rec community in thirty Rock all at the same time. Yeah, that was a golden era man, solid
for good network television. A guy texted in you can always text into his two and four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one. In his book, Matthew stated that if he was ever in trouble, he would throw up the bat symbol, the Matt symbol, the yeah, the Matt symbol. He said that in his book this texture said, I'm not going to doubt the texture Danny. You can do that, but you can do that on your own. I doubt every texture, and you all should.
I don't trust one thing they said. I love the people that like to listen to us, but to trust them, what a what a blind leap of faith that would be. You guys need symbols to put up if you're in trouble, to let me know. Could I'll help the Kevio mustache. Yeah, put the Kevo mustache in the sky. Someone did ask how you had so much money, and I did look it up. It said about
one hundred and twenty million. Yeah. And he's not friends. Yeah, yeah, No, I guess they're all I mean they all killing off that. Yeah, I mean if they all agreed to get paid the same too. Yeah. In the last couple of seasons or something, they did a big hold out or were they making a million an episode? At some point, I think it was like way more and more. Yeah, like the
last couple of seasons. I think it got up to and I mean there was a time when Charlie Sheen started making ten or fifteen million an episode. Okay, we're idiots, and Danny's correct says. The cast notably banded together for later seasons to obtain a salary of one million per episode for each. I mean, that's a lot of bathing money in the mid nineties. Yeah, but this would have been thousand. Yea, but still you're still yeah
twenty years ago, but there was no fear of the internet. Still early two thousands, they were making one hundred and twenty five brand per episode up to season six, and they were awesome. Yeah, twenty episodes per season, and they were doing twenty five episodes of season, twenty four episodes per
season. Yeah, and then in season seven and eight they were making seven hundred and fifty million per episode, meaning each of them, Anison, Cox, kudro LeBlanc, Perry, and Swimmer each took him thirty six million total. He's an example of a guy who was not really funny on his own, but that character was funny. That's what I was saying. The casting of that, getting that those those groups of boys together was really genius.
A couple of decent movies he was in. He was in Fools Rush in about an interracial relationship, and I think I think it's who is he no to say something terrible? I think it's about it was It was it was Selma Hyak. Yeah, selmaayak. He's with her, and he's got to basically proved to her family that he's worthy. It is to prove to the Mexican family that he's a worthy green Ghoz. I think I've seen that film. It's not terrible stereotypical comedy in there. All you know it? Did
he get to first base with Selma? Because that's all I wanted in life? It's more PG thirteens who know so second? But what's first base? Over the shirt for y'all's first see I'm younger than you, guys, have y'rs over the shirt? And his first an ass hot hot hot, a little more advanced over here. I don't even know what it is. Isn't it making out? Just making out? That's a firsty, that's a first.
That's a frenching, bunting frenching Kevin, Yeah, that's a bunt because you can get thrown out, okay, And then second base is probably some feeling up, yeah, gentle petting, and then third bases feeling down. Yeah the f b Yeah, well, no one calls it that b Soon you become Facebook friends, that's third base, guys. What's the home run? Well, well, what is it when you make the springs bounce. Kevo never married, no children, never wanted them. It's kind of impressive,
Is that what you want? Yeah, you're halfway there. You're gonna die in a jacuzzi? Are you maybe worse ways to go kills though? Yeah? Anything too bad? Your cholesterol medication you can owe on cholesterol medics. Staton he was all hopped up on a tour of statin maintain his cholesterol. But a bad boy. What if we come to find out that he owed it on Jardians and the doctors like he didn't need it. He just
he and he tried to dance all night. His last is a picture of the Jardians girl and there's an outline of the state of Florida on the ceiling. Yeah what if I'm face face down in the Jardians fountain, That's how you're gonna go. Yeah, like some darkened set like the Pico Lot in Los Angeles with a one on your ass because we didn't win the world ass up found God. Well, it's very sad. I will say, it's so sad. There'll be more on this come in the next couple of days.
Pick a ball at Riviera all day and then home to your jacuzzie, just waiting on your new iPhone. Yeah, incredible, and your new glasses so you can read your new iPhone. I don't think he's I don't think he was killing himself. He was excited to get his new iPhone fifteen with the orders of theous Titanus. Is there a difference in giving up and killing yourself? Because I think his body just gave me. Killing yourself sounds more shocking. There will be more on this throughout the week. Just wait,
they're just getting started there. We do we have to pick Heaven or Hell yet? Yeah? Can we wait for Yeah, let's wait on the Toxic Collegy report. Yeah, my god, we've got to do Suzanne Summers, Richard Rowntree, We have to do Matthew Perry. Coming up next, we transport to the Ghost Pepper Pavilion to review our three predictions. We told you what was going to happen between cowboys and Rams? Were we right next to? Ninety seven? Won the freak given
