(00:15):
All right, it is five thirtysix and this is the speakeasy here on
ninety seven to one, the freak. We've been out here at Clyde Warren
Park today doing the eclipse thing.It's been a lot of fun out here.
The eclipse was very very cool.I hope you were all somewhere where

(00:38):
you could take it all in andreally do the thing the right way,
as we were so fortunate enough asto be able to do out here.
But it was very very cool.It's really strange to see things get not
pitch black dark as night, butkind of twilight dark in the big middle

(01:00):
of the day, and all ofa sudden the temperature starts dropping very cool
black did Yeah, I got kindof black blad almost. Yeah, I
get super horny too. It's wild. I don't how do you know that.
I don't think anyone showed signs ofhorniness. I think he's right they
did so. I don't know whatside you look for. But we got

(01:26):
sewed. We have a steel mate. It was. It was amorous everywhere.
Yes, it was a very amorousoccasion out of here. Yeah.
Did you see cash as dogs?They looked so nervous. Cash story about
as dogs, though they were allsnuggled up. I do love the idea
that people were worried about how dogswould react, Like nothing has changed for

(01:46):
them. There's just one point inthe day where they actually could look at
the sun if they wanted to,and other than that moment, everything's the
same as every day. It's like, how do they know not to look?
I don't know how did they doit every day? Problem? Excuse
me? They probably do have internalclock for how long it's been since.
I bet they're freaked out, areyou? I think seven points? I

(02:09):
know something's not right, not theway that it normally is, just the
idea that they're gonna go blind bystaring at the sun. I'm like,
well, then why didn't they doit yesterday? They had some police horses
over there that didn't have the glasseson. I was subjecting to that.
Yeah, that's tough, because theyare really going to be tempted to stare
at the sun. Yeah, likethey do all the time. But we

(02:30):
survived it. Who would have thought, not me, not me, nor
me, look at us? Lookat us? Well? Well, well
the time has come. Time tohead from that place, time to tear
it on down and make your wayhome, but that place does loom.

(02:52):
It's out there. You're gonna driveby, So what are you gonna do
about it? I'm gonna drive pastit, get home at a decent hour
tonight, somewhat sober. Nope,Or are you gonna we live to the
parking lot and get in there andstarted seeing all your friends and carrying on
the way you normally do and makingall kinds of crazy ass sports bets and

(03:15):
stuff like that. We would beton the ladder because so it is at
this place, at your kind ofplace, place where they know you,
you know them. It's a placewhere you can take the edge off of
this. It's a place where thelights are dim, the music swings,
but it's never too loud, andyou don't even have to tell them we

(03:38):
to make it a double. It'sa place where the skirts are tight and
the necklines plunge. Now you maysay, no, those places went away
years ago and they haven't been back. These are new times for some not

(04:01):
here you are the way things havealways been, and that's what draws you
to it. It's the sunset lounge. Go home, step inside the green
door, have a seat at thebar, and get in the Groove at
the Sunset Lounge with the Speakeasy onninety seven one. Okay's mores more Jack

(04:29):
Chick Chick cherry. There he is. So the Rangers are going to play
at seven o five tonight. TheTexas Rangers one of the good sports teams
in DFW, and we have morethan our fair share of them. We
do. We are hashtag blessed.We are hashtag blessed. I mean,

(04:50):
technically the Cowboys don't suck yet youknow, ye never had, so you
don't need to Vision champs. Yeah, everyone's really good. Andrew Heeney will
be on the hill, but FrambourgValdez has been scratched for the Houston Astros,
and instead you will face right handerBlair Henley. Now, I know

(05:13):
every one of you is saying,my god, I know that name.
Well easy now, teez easy nowbecause Blair Henley Don's son, right,
Yeah, sure, Jeff totally knowswho that is. All I know Don
Henley Eagles look at him go boom. One time I accidentally named the singer

(05:38):
of a band when Kat was playinga game that he didn't think I'd get.
And I don't remember the band orthe guys now Oh, the guy
who's going to pitch for them.I see this post on Facebook from Arlington
Heights Yellowjackets Baseball. We thought theEclipse twenty twenty four would be the highlight
of the day, but we wereso wrong. A huge congratulations to former

(06:00):
Arlington Heights stand out Blair Henley,who once threw three straight no hitters for
the Yellow Jackets, who it's beencalled up by the Astros and will be
making his MLB debut tonight. Doesthat change things knowing that Arlington Heights high
schooler and Fort Worth isd man willbe opposing us? Mike, are you
now pulling for the Astros? No? I am not all right. No,
I am not. He got thathandle. But did pander to Arlington

(06:25):
and Fort Wharton. Yes, that'sgood. I never mind doing that.
But that's where it ends. Okay. Home run picks for the evening.
I don't know if I have itright. I don't know if I have
the order right, but I dotry my best. Julia, I'm sorry
to report I did not get youany points. Oh were you picking for
me? Yeah? And you wentfor it was a whole week. Yeah,

(06:46):
they weren't hitting them any home runs? Yeah, And he did have
one where he knew he screwed up. Yeah, the game that Young got
hurt, he was I picked Semeonwas on the board. I felt good
about Semon the second. I wasdone with the second and I said,
I knew I should have picked Young. And then he hit a couple a
couple of hits, including a homerun, and then broke his m Yeah.

(07:08):
Rist his lack of faith and JoshYoung costs you a point and got
him hurt. Yeah, I'm sorry. So according to my scoreboard, I
believe Mike Reiner has one point.I believe the Glenn's have one point,
and I think everyone else got here. I believe you're right all right.
And according to me, the orderfor home run picking today is Julie TC.

(07:28):
That's what you were called last week. You were Julie TCA Groups Glenn's,
Mike, Jeff. Now you can'tmake an informed pick without knowing the
lineup you're going against. Arlington Heightsfinest and the representatives that'll do it is
not as formidable a line up aswe thought we would have coming into this

(07:48):
year. Marcus Simeon leads off CoreySeeger will bat second why at Langford will
bat third at the least. Garciabeat's fourth. Evan Carter bats fifth man
Josh Smith. Who's been lately?WHOA? Jared Walsh bat seventh? I

(08:09):
don't know Kissner's first name. Batseight, Andrew yep and Leoti Tavares bats
night Julie TC. All right,technically I think we can pow wow.
Has he been paying much closer attentionover the last week. I was on
a beach. Are you drinking?Yeah? Yeah, turn up any drugs?

(08:31):
No, no, whatever. Butthey do offer you when you're down
at the marina in Cabo. Ifyou wander off by yourself, like to
do anything away from kids, ifyou want drugs, they offer you.
It's good than I know where togo in Cabo. Wander off in a
marina? Yep? What are wethinking anywhere? I mean, if you
got the first pick, i'd go. Seeger. Is he in the lineup?

(08:52):
I was on it listening in thelineup? Has he had one yet?
Yes? Yes, more than one? I think just one. I
think just the one as well,So he's due. Yeah, yeah,
let's go seeker? All right?Corey? Seeger? Uh? Give me
bomby the doles Garcia, which meansI'm gonna have to turn around because good
Glenn Raft tried to pick a dolestbut it wasn't his turn yet, So

(09:13):
I'm gonna turn around you okay,all right, he's doing bits. It'll
be Kissner for the Glenn's nice,and when it happens, I'll apologize for
being snarky about your selection. Michael. Let's see, I'll go with Marcus

(09:37):
nice semi an action for Mike,which leads Jeff to choose between the two
rookies of the year Whytt and Evan, which means Josh Smith is going yard
tonight. Hey, I had aquick note that'd been meaning to get in
all last week about Oh my gosh, it's a carryover note. That's your
pig Smith. No, I'm pickingI'll take wyat length. Are you guys

(10:03):
up to the speed on? Therewas a rule change where if you keep
the Rookie of the year. Iknow this was got press whenever it happened,
but I don't know if you thoughtthrough the implications for the Rangers.
If Rookie of the Year has beenon the team the whole year, so
it's to try and mess with youknow, people would yeah, yeah,
yeah, they would play service timegames to try and eliminate the game.
If you win, if you havea player that wins Rookie of the Year

(10:24):
and he was on the roster thewhole time, you get an extra draft
pick. And so both and cartinker with their clogs and yes, because
it leave them up. If itworks out for you, then you get
I think it's the second rounder.Okay, it's a nice pit, but
it's good. And so if eitherEvan Carter or Wyatt Langford win Rookie of

(10:45):
the Year, they both started outopening days, so they qualified. Yeah,
so if either of them wins Rookieof the Year extra draft pick,
I think they should go ahead anddo it. I think one of them
should go ahead and man up anddo that for the team. And if
they don't, it probably won't bethere following, probably because that holiday kid
in Baltimore is super good. Butthey'll try their best. Who's winning right

(11:05):
now between the two of them andthe race for our favorite young hot person
probably why? Uh you know what? I think? Whyatt started hot and
let me let me let me notwhy to you? Because Evan finally got
hits. He took a while,Yeah, he got a lot of walks,
but yeah, he wasn't given manyhits. He was playing a fun
game where he had a batting averageof zero and an on base percentage of

(11:28):
three to eighty nine. Sweet,So he was just kind of up there
and then he would see if hewas going to walk the first or not.
But now let's see, let's doa little ops check on the rookies.
Evan Carter seven eight why atline forsix oh two, So neither one
is currently the American League Rookie ofthe Year. And they better get their

(11:48):
crap together. It's about time ortake their ass Frisco. They better get
their crap together, or it's timeto trade them. You still get something
for them. Yeah, our bestplayers Josh Young, but he broke his
wrisk, which is right, Whatgood is he if he's always hurt?
Okay, I see what we're doing. Yeah, he's doing a bit.
I see what we're doing here.One ranger thing that I do think is

(12:11):
worth talking about is I saw somethingin the Dallas Morning News. So Josh
Spores got pulled in the middle ofit. At mat he got two outs
and then he was trying to getthe third one and he went, yeah,
and Boach walked out there to talkto him. So forty five minutes
later when he got there and what'sgoing on? Man? And he was
like, Man, my shoulders weird. He's like, get your ass out

(12:31):
of here. Uh. And sohe'll be on a fifteen day injured list.
The way that they explain it isthat it was rotator cuff swornus it's
inflamed, and that when the fifteendays are up, he'll be back.
That is the way they're telling us. And who am I to tell you
that it will be way worse thanthat. Well, if you won't,

(12:52):
I will. Yeah. If theysaid elbow, I'd have been worse off.
But yeah, I get scared whenI hear about elbow and shoulders and
they're like, yeah, I'll beback after fifteen days. And I'm be
like, all right, because ondate twenty six, when you haven't said
anything and he's still not back.Yeah, we're gonna talk about this.
Well. I always expect the worstwhen I see a guy as he's was
walking off the mound in the middleof a bat do this, Yeah,

(13:18):
middle of the bat's pretty extreme anddo this doesn't work on radio? All
right? Flex there are right he'sright, he's right, I should have.
But also he's right I should right. Yeah. Yeah, when he
walked off, he kind of rotatedthe shoulder forward a little bit like he
was trying to to, you know, coming on, yeah, shake it

(13:39):
out, you know, and justsee what would happen. Maybe it'd magically
go away. But I don't know. We may have seen the last of
Josh sports. Oh wow, everthis year. Yeah, he'll never come
back if it falls off. Couldbe he has to have surgery. He

(14:01):
coming back to fifteen days. Butwhat if he has a fact, what
if with his injured shoulder, hehas to fly to see a specialist and
then there's a poop on the plane, he gets subverted and he ends up
somewhere and a plate breaks out andthey're quarantined. That's my big concern.
You ever thought about that, Jewels, I actually have not thought about that
well. But I hope if heflies to see a specialist and has surgery,

(14:24):
then at least let us know whereso we can go tailgate. We
do need to tailgate a surgery oneof these days. Who does well,
is it doctor ket Meister? Yeah? Yeah, doctor, he's the arm
guy. You think that he travelsto do things for the sports teams,
or they just go to where hedoes his stuff. Because if that's the
case, we can find out wherethat is. We could tell we could

(14:45):
go on tour with him. Wecould so get I'll swing by home depot
and get a twenty nine dollars drilland we will make hot naughts outside.
Well, Josh Spores has rotator cupsurgery outside ut south Western or wherever he
They will definitely ask us the leaguego do a remote. Yeah, I'll

(15:05):
get us set up. We're liveon location auctioning off spores memorabilia if they're
trying to put his arm back on. We also have hot dogs, freak
Jesus is here, bring your owncondiments and eclipse glasses. Yeah, but
the point of it really was hotdamn. Nine games into a season,

(15:28):
the bullpen's been good. Yeah,they've been good. I believe they have
Emily Jones and I's bet was eraof four, which is like middle of
the league, and as of today, Rangers bullpen era is two point eighty
nine. Now they're losing one ofthe important guys and I still feel like,
now I'm down to two guys backthere, I can trust and they're

(15:48):
about sixty years old. What's thepayoff? I think we've been the night
with her husband. Anything you want. Yeah, I get a night with
her husband if I win, andshe has to get a foot tattoo whichever
way. Yeah it was it wasit a tattoo payoff, like you get
the other side. No, shewouldn't agree to tattoo bet. I tried.

(16:10):
I wanted to do a Jake stylejust a foot tattoo. Why not.
Yeah, I've been trying to findsomething to tattoo bet with. We
finished, We agreed on something.I think in the end, I think
if if she wins, I geta matching boop job oh to her wow
wow. And because the other way, I know, we're all she used

(16:33):
to be progressive, but that wouldreally bother me. You wouldn't settled.
You just go straight from boob joblike, no other modifications. What do
you mean, like if you justif you've decided that you rather live life
as a lady. I can acceptthat, right If you just like irregular

(16:55):
dude just walks in with some heavyd's, you don't shave, you just
your facial it is where it isnow, just a wacky radio bet Man
forever and if I win, toofar from me. If I win,
she has to take a picture intoher dock of me without a shirt on
and say made me look like Ido not think he keep working on it,

(17:21):
right, we'll figure out that.I don't think anyone wins. It's
gonna be theme of my next band. Heavy terrible, terrible either way.
So anyway, the whole point was, hey, jose La Clark, any
day now if you want to pitch, well, you know, yeah,
now's the time to start if youcan. As a group, y'all have
been pretty good. But as faras high leverage situations, I believe my

(17:45):
confidence resides solely in Kirby Yates andDavid Robertson. I'm up into the idea
of other people joining the club,and they're off to a fine start,
most of them. And we'll see. But without Sporesy, we got that
Gran Anderson now, which you haveGran Anderson in that last night he did
came in in a big spot.Every time that he pitches and he misses

(18:07):
the strike zone by like the foot, I feel like he sucks. I
don't know, like other guys.I'm like, yeah, I mean,
at least he threw it hard orsomething. And with Anderson, I'm just
kind of like, I don't knowif you're good enough to be missing by
he doesn't know what he's doing.Yeah, so he's got the short leash
with you. Huh for the moment. I'll keep it updated, but I

(18:27):
mean, if you tell me tobelieve it in my will, you know,
I admire your baseball acumen, yourCony Bradford CROs so far, I'm
not on that train just yet.But he was good the other last night,
he was he was and that wasnice. Uh. The phone number
to our radio station is two onefour seven eight seven seven one. The
reason that I'm telling you the phonenumber to our radio station is because I

(18:49):
want you to use it, andwe have a forty second delay, so
I have to vamp for a secondbefore Mike tells you something and then the
two minute drill starts. But justknow that if you want to be a
part of our show, and thatwould be a great time to call in
to two one four seven eight sevenone nine seven one, Mike Man,
you can say and tell us anythingyou want, provided, of course,

(19:11):
you adhere to these six sympolitics.You get thirty seconds or until we determine
that your story has become tired.So whichever happens, first, start whatever
you have to say with the wordsI think that be ready to go when
we come to you, turn yourradio down. Don't ask us how we

for the Sunset Lounge because I'm onmy way home breaking my neck looking for
the police. They're coming after me. I think that's just us being outside.

great as starting your call God,we're on the too minute drill go.
