JJ Jackson is here, as is Kevin Turner, Danny Bayles's. My name is Mike Siroy. We are the charm Bombs. We're here for you. Ready to weeze the juice together with the DFW Metroplex. Just got done talking MAVs and Kyrie. I did look up most during that break that I mean, obviously look a Keem Elijahwan
among many others have done this for many years. Is not anything new, but there are big studies on high level athletes and making this work. So they say it's tough for the first few days are really rough, and then athletes often feel like they don't have it for a couple few days, and then they get into a system that works. And Kyrie talked about it. He said, up, you know, my Muslim brothers and sisters are doing this around the world. Who am I to do it differently? You know?
So he claims he doesn't do water either, playing it damn NBA game with no water, while while honoring Ramadan. So it's crazy. It's crazy, but whatever he does, it's working because Kyrie with the big game winner that led the MAVs to a sweet, sweet victory over the second seated at the time Denver Nuggets. Just last night, you got here here on ninety seven on the Freak for the home of the Dallas Mavericks. Dinkie's morning news
coming up here in a little bit fun times scheduled. Oh all throughout the morning on ninety seven to one. We go till ten, then Ben Skin jump in after that. But right now it's time for our friend Kevin and the scuttle Butt asparts you by Advanced Air Restoration Mike eight o'clock. Little announcement for you folks, don't leave little. Even though only two percent of Dallas sites walked to work two percent, thirty percent of traffic deaths in Dallas are
pedestrian incidents. Thirty percent. That's a big number. I thought you think it's just car rex. No, it's getting hit pedestrians. If you aren't a reckon, it's not your fault. Two and four all threes, that's a frankal and Frankel. But back in twenty twenty two, Dallas joined up with forty five other major cities nationwide and pledging to address traffic safety, specifically for pedestrians, and they announced a plan to reduce traffic fatalities. They identified
fifteen intersections that are the most dangerous for pedestrians. So with that, let's play the pedestrian feud. Okay, all right? Are you gonna kiss me? Yeah? Don't kiss down when he kisses us? Before these segments, should Richard Dawson you or Ray Combs you, Richard Dawson us? And then Ray Combs yourself or just Ray Combs yourself first? Right, we'll skip the dawsoning. All right, top fifteen answers are on the board. What intersection
of Dallas are you most likely to get hit by a car? At Danny H belt Line, in the toll way belt line in the toll way? What these are gonna be hard? On the Well belt line in wood like the one down by the Greyhound station in downtown Dallas. Which one is that anyone that you feel like fits into that accord in Maine? Is that it? You know? I'll give you, thank you, I'll give you Jefferson
Boulevard at Zang That's not my favorites. Zang and Jefferson is on there, Zang and Jefferson, he thinks is downtown gab freaking West Dallas, Bro, it's just an excuse to play the theme song. You're really going to play now, that'd be impossible, and you guys aren't gonna get a single one of these grand For years and years that that Tollway Beltline intersection was like nationally ranked as one of the most deadliest dangerous intersections, maybe not for pedestrians but
for auto accidents. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought, you know, okay, maybe they've wiped out a couple of walkers. I feel like Downtown has to have a handful, and it does. We wouldn't know the names of the streets. I guess it becomes a bit of problem there. Maple Avenue at Huddall over there in Oaklawn. Pedestrians getting hit all the time out there. But that's kind of a lot of bars and party area out there. Maple and Huddle, Right, how about how about Lemon and McKinney,
mny. Is there anything Greenville Avenue? No? Nothing? No? All right, this is stupid. I can't get you know, know the streets you can guess there's no there's no no one's taking turns. Is elm anywhere on this list? No is Maine. A lot of streets near Mike Jefferson Boulevard and Edgeville Avenue and Zang. Let's think of areas where people don't
have cars, well or just where they walk. I guess if you're doing Bishop Arts area, your toll way thing, Danny, Cedar Springs and the toll by Turtle Creek, which that area where there's a four way stop signing over there is a little interesting over there. Maybe I could see that Jupiter Road six thirty five to Garland. What who's walking there, Kevin? I don't know, man. How about uh, Danny, you know where this is. You've been here a lot? Okay, Uh Northwest Highway and Harry
Hines. There's a bunch of there's a bunch of streets in there. MLK Junior at s. M. Wright to bottom Gene down in the stairs. Say that, uh great Trinity forced way it led better, boy, you gotta get way down there for that. But yes, Wheatland at Duncanville City Limit way down there. Look, Hey, I just turned out to be not as fun as you made it. Sound like because you thought you were gonna play a big fun game. You played the damn song and everybody got
excited. A fewd thing was gonna happen. We just thought you're gonna be a list, and now none of it's worked. But it wasn't a fun list to begin with. Here's where people get hit by cars. I know, but you played the song and we've gotten so excited about the song anytime impromptu family feud, which hey, okay, all right, you get excited, and then we're talking about Wheatland. Let me reach it. Nobody even knows where Wheatland is. Let me reach into my backpack where I have note
cards with the games written on them. Ready to go, looking for a place to exhaust this the Texas Twister. So what's the number one? Is? What number one one? I deleted them? Oh my god, I'm moving on. I'm moving on. Didn't even pay off. Okay, I'm moving on. I've decided. Do I need to look this up for you, because Mikey really wants to know what the number one is? Just assume
it's near your places. Be careful out there on the streets. I don't know what to say to people we'll say the name of forget and don't drink and drive Colin Alto. Yeah, if you get hit, if you hit hit by a car trying to cross, saying Boulevard and Jefferson and it wasn't your fault. All threes, very simple, right, it's all right there,

And then her head was that's why they're looking for a place where the rats don't eat the evidence. Well, yeah, that was like the least information provided by a British newswoman in New Orleans of all time. They're at your all high, they eat the

You know, if we are saying that we care about our workers, we can't have them come to work in a rat invested building. I was like, yeah, well, yeah, Eclipse. I know we're twenty five days away from this thing now. They're probably tired of hearing about it a little bit.
But this is a little interesting. Happens on April eighth, as you know, tons of people, potentially millions of people coming to the lone Star State and coming big. We were already talking a little bit about some counties have issued emergency orders to prepare. But yesterday or or was this two days ago, WFA reached out to the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Now why would
you reach out to w DOT. They reached out to the Wyoming Department of Transportation because they've been in touch with Texas leaders about what to expect, because they experienced this in twenty seventeen for the last one, okay, the one that went famous because Trump looked up at it. Okay, in Wyoming, they were in the path of totality and here is what they said. This resulted in one of the worst traffic jams in Wyoming history. Wyoming had visitors
from all over the world. Estimates up to one point five million people, doubling the state's population, flocked to Wyoming for the eclipse. They said they underestimated traffic volume. People started showing up a week in advance, and then things got insane about an hour before the eclipse happened. Now it's a little different Wyoming where there's nothing, but it created chaos. It said. There was last few moments the roads were bogged down and people just had to pull
off where they were and watch the eclipse. So they're pulling over on the side of the road. People were using the bathroom, making mud and wee wiing, relieving themselves because they were stuck in traffic. And couldn't get out of the state of Wyoming. I sure hope our infrastructure and traffic is ready, because I don't want a bunch of USA foreigners, I mean other states coming in here and just relieving themselves all over our state and then leaving.
But if local residents are welcome to relieve on your yard, of course, fertilizer it's Texans, yeah, he said. After it was over, the floodgates open. Every vehicle from RV's and campers to a regular sedan. We're trying to get out of town, and right when it ended, they take off. That's the time. We're not waiting for traffic to cool down. They all went forward at once, and most of the state's highways got log jammed. So if everyone's gonna leave it once they had. One hundred and
ninety eight crashes were reported, including one collision with a bison. Shoes just looking at it's like, God, do you think, how many people do you think? Like when this thing hits in twenty eight days, twenty five, twenty five days, how many people will just be driving and then they kind of look up like what the I actually think? Then they get it a little further, like is it? What time is it? Like,
they just don't it's confused the whole time. They maybe stop and look around, and then it ends and they just go on with their day, like they think it's a cloud, right, like that is the biggest It is the middle of the day, and then they just never go back and look up what it was, you know what, move on. That's what most of them like, I don't know what the weirdest thing honey today, Yeah, this afternoon, I think this would be a good time to loot dude,
right, I was seeing with that. How about we shoot like a diamond heist, right, and you actually shoot it during full like you have this plan, like somebody should have this plant and in the whole thing, it'd be like hour hour and a half the window. Yeah it's a big Yeah, it's a big window. Hour hour and a half. Okay, that's about the length of a movie. So you shoot a movie live action, you shoot it live you have it all planned out during just the time
of the eclipse. Yeah, one shot at it. Okay, I mean that's kind of badass. Okay. Link later, get on the phone with so Roy. How many days we got to write this scripted Planet and rehearse your ghosts get on it. That'd be fun. I just thought it'd be a good time to go looting because everybody's gonna be looking up at the damn sky. You can go in and steal all their diamonds. Yeah yeah, while they're looking up, you look down, and I mean, seriously,
what shopkeeper is not going to be standing outside their establishment. You sneak in the back door, take all of their diamonds, and you leave to the alley. They don't even know. I don't think the back door is still locked. I imagine. Yeah, we'll figure that out before. I have a security guard out front like the cop, but he's gonna be people are not going to be able to not look. It's his job to not look.
And then we have all of the diamonds. I am with Danny, you know, if I to choose a team on this one, Kevin, But Kevin's are right that Like at NFL games, remember you know security man, they could be running the greatest play of all time and security man is often locked onto his job into the in the crowd didn't see a play. Then his calves get smashed and he folds over when he gets hit taken out from the back. Elie leg Crumple, Eli, you're part of the plot
or not. Kevin, you know you can sit there and come up with excuses on why not to do it. But I'm kind of a person that likes to ask how do we do this rather than say, ah, well, I still think that's a good idea. And if Danny and I the eclipse is over and we have a pilot of diamonds, and then you're going to be like, hey, we're a team and you try to you want a couple of them. You try to scrape a couple of diamonds to your side of the table, and we're like, dude, no, no,
you didn't believe in the plant. And then we put the diamonds back in our main pile. That's just for uh no, no, no, I just chase my money with gambling. I don't need diamonds. Sunday saying it wrong, it's diamonds. Say you said you said it? Weirds Ellis County Judge Todd Little said there will be medical issues that come up if we have two hundred thousand new people in the county all pooping on the side of the road at the same time also encourage folks to get groceries and gas before they
no, He's right. An hour long, he started stockpiling paper products, copper goods. Even Austin worried about traffic. Travis County officials down there think they're they're expecting one million new visitors could be swinging through through town. There you go on a Monday looking for our diamond to so stock up, go to the store, get gas. This is gonna be a bigger deal. I mean, that's they've been warning people for really too long, really because
I had had much else to talk about. So three months we've been hearing about this. But as we get a little closer, I'm trying real hard not to get exhausted by the story, and I'm like, I actually am. I do think we need to take this seriously here, and if you guys want to commit some heist, it's really not well thought out. And just now thinking about it, twenty five days. The real pro you guys have not been talking about this has been on the calendar since before Copernicus.
We've known about this date. Kevin, do you think I just came in here today and came up with this ridiculous idea? Now they've been planned and plotted. We've practiced it for decades. I actually thought of this when I was in high school. Since you're the expert, why don't you tell me about zero res right now? Okay, we can. Coming up next, we have a bit of an announcement and then screw it. We're gonna launch because yesterday was selection Sunday. We're gonna launch the Big D Bracket Challenge.
Why not? Next ninety seven won the Freak
