This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one. The freak set a shove a scuttle. But here a couple of their vocal stories. Ten minutes, we'll have a Ryan who went to the Cod Bowl last night on first hand to count. We got Ryan. We got Ryan. Sent out a text blash lots big toggle push notification for you eight o'clock neighborhood watch get some It's a news segment. Danny cannot hit the banana peel, throw it at the trash can. What do we do? He walked all the way. I
mean, that was kind of a bunny dude. I just told you that. Can he make it from right there? One? There you go? Just told you a story about the local barbecue war happening where Panthers City Barbecue. Fourth big Instagram story and they have some pictures as they posted, and pretty good evidence of another place in town restaurant owner stealing some of their smokers.
Now it's all alleged, there are no formal charges pressed. I was kind of doing some browsing and a friend of mine did text me and said, I think it's this place. And I went to the yell reviews of that place, which I'm not gonna say on the air, just because no charges have been filed. And sure enough, the first five or six yell reviews, that's probably a good choice on your part, Kevin, if you
enjoyed kneecaps. Yeah right, I'll just say that the first five or six yell reviews are one star reviews and it is a lot of uh, you know, it's just comments, right, I'm just reading comments off yelp. But don't give this restaurant your business. The owner is part of the crime ring. Owner got busted. So yeah. And then your last food review from December ninth, though, was pancakes were dry and tasted bad. Oh no, that hurts even worse. But how about this November twentieth, twenty
two to three, We visited for breakfast and the prices were great. So you never know, get some good reviews too, you know, yelp. Yelp's a dangerous thing. I've never been a guy who to go leave reviews on places because I don't know. I don't want to impact the well being of a business well like that much. I think should stand on their own feet and not be worried about what the reviews are. Well, speaking from experience, you can make one bad batch of pancakes and get labeled for life,
can you? Yeah, you can. I made Malcolm pancakes one morning out of a new batter that I was trying, and he told me they were weird pancakes and he's never ordered them again from Dinghu's diner. This was a year ago, and to this day, Daddy makes weird pancakes. Like one time, bro, one time you liked him after that it was that one time, So yeah, I get it. So Mommy makes good pancakes,
Daddy makes weird pancakes. Dad, he made weird pancakes once and a two year old decided to Yelp review me, and now I'm branded to life is the guy that makes weird pancakes? Not true? Help? He did a live Yelp review to the world. How bad things would have to be for me to get on Yelp and rip someone of the shress because usually the worst that you happen, you just get some really terrible or mean employee.
And is that even fair to crush the business? But God, these companies were reliant on these reviews Yelp, and even like trip Advisor, boy, it has changed how everything happens. Hell, if I go to some city I've never been, I don't know anything about, even internationally, I will look at trip Advisor and then I'm like, why am I doing this? Am I just being shoved to like the top five highest paid tourist attractions?
Probably? And I'm not an idiot, so I understand that. I know that's kind of happening, but it's still kind of gives you an idea. Or if you go to things to do in blank and I will do that, and sometimes you're just being misguided. I don't know the full mechanics all this, but the way Google even puts up your search engines, I mean your search that is going to be changing soon to to where it's more fair. It's se O right yearch engine optimization, which is like a massive business.
The business Steve Shackleford works in. Is that what he does? Yeah? From uh the Bending Skins Show. Why isn't it if you just look at radio, then our station should come up first? Right issue? If that's what he does? Radio radio, maybe a DFW talk radio. Maybe maybe it would maybe maybe it wouldn't. Uh, Danny, I'm gonna clean up a story you did yesterday in Dingo's Morning news about the Navy seals missing near the coast of Somalia. Please because one of the seals is believed to
have been North Texas guy. Oh, they've identified two of them, Christopher Jay Chambers and Nathan Gage Ingram because they kind of quit doing the you know, they quit searching. But the driver's license available shows that Ingram had an address associated with ron Oak and he was from Trophy Club lived over in a Ron Oak. So yeah, that's bad news there. You hate to see
a local dude caught up in that. Again. They just called off the search, so there's no like miss it, you know, confirmation or anything. But you guys know how that goes. And they just fell into the angry sea. Yeah, boy sucks twenty seven like jackets on. No, I don't know when one guy fell and the other one after him, because that's what you're supposed to do, that's your Navy seal buddy, And they
both got swept away. There's doing a ray in on a boat that was carrying Iranian wept and so there's that real quick Mike you keep saying, is this will be the best place in the world. Yeah, forty years DFW
the coolest place in the world. There's some upgrades. There's a big meeting happening this week over in Irving, Okay, and it is about the Tweelta Music Factory and that whole complex right there, and they're considering giving it thirty million dollars to improve it, right because the company that owns it or is kind of running that is from New York and they're not happy about how it's performing compared to Legacy West and Plano Grand Scape in the colony, that whole
entertainment district, Yes, okay, And so they're gonna pump it. They're gonna have a vote at the city counciling this week over a thirty million dollars spind up that kind of spruce it up a little bit, put a huge fountain in there, which they should put a huge fountain. Their signage, let me tell you, don't mess up with it too much because maybe the people will come in time when they build this resort. Right now, that's maybe my favorite place to go see a show right now, Tota Music Factory.
They figured it out. The parking is easy, it's in and out. It's not that far out of the way like I find myself going That was an easy twenty minute jaunt. Yeah, you're right, I do. I do like see shows right, plus a handful of good spots to get a drink. Oh my god, cheat code go to the opposite side. When you walk in, you go all the way through. But if you want to get a drink, this side on the right. Oh, if you're facing the stage, yep, the right. Most people come in that
back left. Yeah, back left, because that's where the parking thing aligns to. Is there an entrance on the back right. You have to take the stairs if you want to go on that entrance to go up, but go around either way and walk across. And that's where we have tickets to see Modest Mouse in the Pixies June twenty seventh. There we got four more pairs of tickets to give away. We're gonna do something cool tomorrow involving small Texas towns and you'll have a chance to win some tickets to that show.
The Modest Mouse reddit board has been just praising ninety seven won the freak for breaking the news about the tour, for giving away tickets to that show, not breaking the news of the tour. Yeah, so if that happens though. That place with what we don't land was bought by the Addleson family in Las Vegas Sands Corp. Over there by the old Texas Stadium, Irving New Thriving metropolis. Look out, everyone, head on a swivel for Irving. That is a big stamp of real estate too, dude. And there's open
land. Where where is Irving? Okay? I mean you know what if you're are gonna explain it to the layman, Yeah, you're right. Is that area just south of where toy music factory that think of that whole think of the area between Okay, you know where thirty five I understand sort of okay, but you know where thirty five goes north from downtown. Ye think about like Loop twelve right there, go west like you would be going towards
the airport. It's kind of that area. If I'm t west of thirty five to the stadium where it used to be, that's Irving, and I go right or left right there, Where's where's most more Irving? Where's more Irving? Probably? Well, I mean Texas Stadium was kind of like right, I'm struggling with the question off like one four eighty three so if you go right there isn't that is that lot lost one fourteen. As you go
up towards Grapevine, you're you're that's Irving right there. Okay. So if I go left at Texas Stadium where all those car dealerships are, yeah, that's one eighty three. That's kind of taking you to the mid cities. Is that when I I'm in Irving, that's the moment where you're on the outskirts of Irving. Yeah, Irving is south of Lost Calenas. Tell you what two on four seven, eight, seven, ninety seven to one. If you can call in and tell Mikey where Irving is, please, Irving
is east of Arlington, northeast of Arlington, south of Lost Calenas. It's not that far, dude, It's really it's super close. It's super close. It really is. And especially if you have to use six thirty five a lot to get to where you're going, it's right off that. Do you remember when we drove out to do our uh Alamo draft house commercial commercial? Yeah, that's Irving, which can we post that? By the way, We should get that up online, right I don't have it. Yeah,
it was funny. So Charity Music Factory is an Irving and that whole little area that lost Kalinas, that waterfront area where there's those kind of stuff, that's where the Pyre Nelson used to be. Irving. It's considered lost. Calenus is like the nice I mean, it's still lost Calenus, but it's you know, it's essentially all Irving. Blust Cleanus is like the Highland Park of Irving. There's arguments to be made to like how close is that
to Grapevine or is it Coppell or Uless. I think Copel is closer. I think Coppel But but Valley Ranch is Irving, Yes, And then and then some people would argue, no, it's actually Carrollton and it's it's Irving, but it's very close. Is there a downtown Irving, like a nice little square of Irving. I think that's what they're kind of working on.
I think it's that now, Okay, is Irving one of those newer fabricated cities or is it like an old small town that just kind of grew, like Frisco or plane Over Richardson. I think old small town that grew uh huh, That's what I think. We don't know this, but I don't know. Someone said, tell them to look at a map. Let's got we got to understand. Let's take a looking at a mout. Let's take a call on this, and then we will go to Ryan, who is at the messy game. Why do we take a call on this because we
got a couple of all right, Hi, what's your name? Dada's Jason? Hey, explain it all? Okay, So Irving I used to live there is from Texas Stadium all the way to the airport, and one fourteen is the east barrier and one A three is the west barrier. All of that in between it and the middle is Irving. Yeah, okay, but south of one eighty three is Irving, correct, all the way to the Texas to the Lone Star Park. Okay, yeah to thirty just a little
bit. But the majority of Irving is right there in the middle, all the way from the old tex Stadium all the way the airport right Las Colinas is a neighborhood in Irving Valley. Ranch is a neighborhood in Irving, Irving Heights, Cottonwood Valley. You've probably heard all these things. Those are part
of Irving property. But Lone Star Park is not Irving. Yes, it's all the way Grand Prairie, right, It's like that's where Nison lived, just north of the old horse Track and I was the South Irving off. What is that there? What's downtown Irving considered downtown Irving? I don't even know if there's really quote downtown im MacArthur, like where the city hall is,
like MacArthur. Uh, because you have O'Connor, you a MacArthur story right there in the middle, like MacArthur High School lives Irving High School, that would be considered your quote unquote that makes sense really downtown. Well, Jason, thanks so much for your input today. Man, Thanks Jason, you're a cool dude guy. Yeah, Irving was an incorporated city in nineteen fourteen, so there must be some type of old downtown city square or something
to that effect, unless it's been demolished since then. Well, if you've got a company down there, you can contact sales guy Ryan Brown and he'll set up a remote for the downbeat down in Irving downtown. Uh, right there on the square of Irving that may or may not exist. Nice transition, John is down the free cut line is I heeart salesman. Ryan, Good morning, Ryan, how are you? Good morning? Thanks for the lead, Chintce. I've I've written it down in my U my sales notebook.
We need to be the number one station in Irving and that's your marching orders, all right, got it? Yeah, yesterday we became the official station of Latinos. So this is good. We got Latinos. We need Irving in Latins. Well I'm needed, you know, nor live in Irving, but I'll do my best sales skills well and see what I can do for you boys. But you did go see MESSI yesterday and that's why we're having you on so honorary Mexican Ryan Brown. No, Ryan, So what
was the what was the vibe out there? Because I saw in the paper thirty two thousand fans at the Cotton Bowl, which if you know that the Cotton Bowl is over ninety thousand capacity, you'd go, well, they filled a third of the stadium and a weird five pm start. So what's the
kind of set it up what you saw yesterday? Yeah? I have to preface it by saying we also went to the first match in Frisco back in the summer and it was it was not comparable, but you know, considering the crappy weather, the the odds start time, you know, Monday at five pm, the fact it was an exhibition or a friendly as they say, I thought it was a pretty good turnout. You know, both sidelines. I couldn't see mine, but the lower bowl of both sidelines looked pretty
full. The end zones were pretty empty. But just you know, based on how the soccer field is laid out, it's not those aren't very good advantage points anyway, So you know, all things considered, you know, it definitely wasn't anything like the first match in Frisco. But I thought it was a good turnout. I thought the crowd was into it, and you know, we had we had a good time, all things considered. But yeah, one one a lot like the first go round at Toyota Stadium.
Are you a big soccer man or do you have a some kid involvement?
Like why I am not a My soccer experience ended in the fourth grade, But I have a nine year old who is obsessed with soccer and Messy in particular, so I've kind of had to learn the sport and the particulars and the and the players over the last couple of years, so he was he's a fanatic, and so we uh, you know, we were fortunate enough to go the first the first game in Frisco, and when this came open, we you know, we couldn't miss it, even though the weather wasn't
great and the start time was tough, but it was worth it. We had. We had a great time. Our good buddy Ryan here had boots on the ground yesterday at the Cotton Bowl to see Messi played. Now, speaking of Messi, did he I don't know anything about the game. Did he start, if he didn't, when did he come in, and what was the crowd reaction? Like he started? Uh, he played most.
I think he came out about halfway through the second half. He had a couple early shots on goal, which you know, of course, every time he touches the ball, the crowd, you know, you can kind of feel the the electricity. I mean, as soon as he touches the ball. He had a couple shots on goals that missed, and of course that would have you know, sent the crowd into a frenzy, which he did that in Frisco. You know, he scored within like the first five minutes
of the game. So but here he had a couple of shots. He had a corner that he almost wrapped in from the corner. I don't know anything about soccer, but being able to score from a corner kick. It would have gone in, but the goalie made a great save. But yeah, every time he touches the ball, you can just feel the you know, the excitement kind of build up. So yeah, he played most of the game and you know, unfortunately didn't score, but had some great,
great passes. But yeah, he played, you know, all bit about the last twenty to thirty minutes. Well, Ryan, thank you for your report this morning. We appreciate it. And if you need to think from us, let us know and how to tell our audience contact Ryan Brown. I'm gonna say yes, you guys keep sending me leads and I'll give you my expertise in soccer anytime that you need it. Absolutely. What's your email address? Ryan, Ryan Brown, the most generic name ever at iHeartMedia dot
com. Easy to remember. Come on, let's get Ryan one lead today. Somebody out there considering joining the squad here, Ryan Brown and iHeartMedia dot com dot com. All right, go out there and get irving. You got it. I gotta say, if you're the FC Dallas goalie, don't you kind of just go ahead and tell the troops before this preseason game, Guys, we get a cornerkick situation, I'm gonna ahead and let Messi wrap one in. Or guys, it's not a the indicator of my ability here
if we just kind of let Messi score one here. But the greatest player in the history of the world. What's the benefit though, to the goalie. The crowd of thirty thousand proud here are probably your tickets. Yeah, well, if he scores one, it's like, better sell a bunch more tickets because people are gonna rush in a more memorable thing. Oh yeah, you're right, thirty thousand. I thought it'd be more than that, I gotta say, especially with the tickets being cheaper, I thought it'd be more.
Although that's not a disappointing number, but that is you know what the Rangers would get on a normal night. You got more. You got more turnout to that than you did at the one in Frisco, just because you had more capacity. Yeah, was at five o'clock in the rain, and the game meant nothing. It's not bad, it's not bad. No, it makes me think that had that been a legit, you know, game
that counted and in the summer sellout, maybe close to it. It is wild when you see him though at video of him, he is a very like he's obviously in great shape and all that stuff. But when you just see him, you're like, that's probably the most normal looking superstar. And all of us here are taller than him by a lot. You know, You're like, this was a normal looking superstar. He's how good looks and all that whatever, But you're just like, it is cool that it's he's
I mean, right, he's a normal man. He's a normal man. Man. He's probably the most Is he the most famous dude on Earth? No, hul Cogan? Okay, hul Cogan is won, and then Rinaldo and Messy tie for second. So much support I got on the hotel well a little bit. Yeah, it was both ways. People said hulk Cogan is in the fifty most recognizable living Americans for your generation. Look, we

Uh, It's in the US state of Texas, located in Dallas County, part of the Mid Cities region. Population is just over twound and fifty thousand according to the twenty twenty Census, eighty seventh most populous in the
USA. You will find Irving just northan south of one eighty three and also kind of right there with one fourteen Valley Ranch Lost Cleena's all part of the great city of Irving, Texas. Thank you, Irving. Irving. Give you one real quick fun fact on Irving. It's actually a one question quiz. In nineteen fifty, the population of Irving was twenty six hundred people. By nineteen seventy, the population went from twenty six hundred to almost one hundred
thousand people in twenty years. Why Dallas Cowboys growth keep going? Oil jobs for what? And foot airport? Ah. We built the DFW International Airport and I believe it opened in nineteen seventy four, so people were flocking to live close to a big job opportunities. Of course Dandy would have an airport.
