Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Would you like to come to a sneak preview special
screening of Mission Impossible the Final Reckoning? And it looked official,
but it was like click this link if you want
to go. And I get text messages like that and
emails like that about different things, and I'm just in
the habit of not clicking on anything ever for any reason.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Same, And I think it's very smart.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Ben, Are you guys the same. We get messages from
the company saying, don't don't click on any link.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I don't click on anything.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I really don't, and I think it's cost me millions
of dollars in revenue.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
So I started thinking, are you the same, Christina? Yes,
even with text messages too.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I don't click links, right, even if it's somebody I
know that sends me a link. If the text before
the link looks suspicious at all, I'm like, did you
send me a link?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh my god, I owe thousands of dollars in tolls.
I need to click on this right now, Dude.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I had that message today.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, it's NonStop.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
So I started thinking about it and I was like, well,
we did the story on the show about Tom Cruise
coming to Dallas. He's coming to Dallas to promote this
new movie Mission Impossible to Find Ring Cruise, And so
I just kept having that thought Tom Cruise in my brain.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
In a Friday night ass storm.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And I'm like, dang man, uh, what if this is real?
I what if I could go to the theater where
Tom Cruise is going to be. So I responded to
the email without clicking the link, and I said, Hey,
is this real?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm sorry, I just don't know. Is this real?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
And they were like responded immediately, Yes, Ben, It's real.
We were it was made aware to us that the
Ben and Skin show talks about Tom Cruise movies. It's
an industry secretry. Like somebody reached out and so all
those you guys were fans or talk about Tom Cruise
or something, and so we just thought we'd invite you.

(01:41):
And I was like, okay, So you know it was
somebody who was a little bit familiar with our show.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Is this PR firm? And they knew who our show
was or whatever? And so.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I was like, Okay, I'm going through with it. I'm
clicking the link. Hell yeah, And so I did and
then I didn't hear back, and I was heart from
an Arabian Prince.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I was on my way into work today and I
you know, I stopped at the Velvet Taco, which I
love god amazing tacos, so good call me Velvet Taco,
and I got a note. I saw a response and hey,
sorry about this. Yep, we got you covered. We got
you plus three. Because I told him, I go, man,
if you give me enough time, I could probably convince

(02:21):
some of my showmates to go with me. But I don't,
you know, I but let me know once it's totally confirmed.
So they didn't confirm everything until today. And so I've
got me plus three going to North Park Mall to
the world premiere sneak preview of Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning,

(02:42):
and I know you guys can't go. Yeah, And so
I called the lady again.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I just called her. I was like, hey, is this
this is real? Right? Like she goes, yeah, I promise
you it's real, and YadA YadA.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And I start talking to her and she goes, you know,
you know Tom is going to be in Dallas, right,
And I'm like, oh, yes, hey, when is this happening?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Like what's going on with this?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And she was like, you know, I'm I'm the one
who's in charge of that, Like, I'll be with him
and Da da da, and he's going to some different places.
And I was like, I'm sitting there going, Okay, how
do we get him on our show?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I can get into a velvet taco that would
seal the deal.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
And so I was like, So she said, you know,
we may be in a situation where at one of
the theaters I may need somebody to introduce him. So anyways,
I may end up getting some private one time with
my new best friend Tom Cruise. This is incredible, Ben,
this is seriously and there's no one in the DFW.

(03:38):
I'm being as honest as I can be that would
deserve this more than you. Your devotion to that man
is unrelenting and undefeated, and I would be ecstatic for
you and our show if you in any way got
to interact with Tom Cruise.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Does anyone else imagining the photo off here?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I mean, okay, so what with the photo? I mean
you would look twice as old as him. No, it's
sometimes is large.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
You might it's Danica Patrick photo, Like when we interviewed
Danica Patrick, like she's just so tiny. Oh yeah, And
It's like, Okay, they had a little girl sitting on
the show today.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
And I never should have rested my elbow on her head.
That was poor form.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
But I'm like, dude, uh so this, I mean, this
would be the most major celebrity we've interacted with the show.
He's on a completely different level. Yeah, I mean him
and President Bush.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, and honestly more people like Tom Cruise and like President.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Than any president. Yeah. Bill Clinton was real popular for
a while. So if I.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Get like like I have, I haven't interview like you.
Who are the celebrities you interact with? And you told
them thanks for what they're doing for the environment?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Oh, Leonardo DiCaprio, I need advice like that?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
What do I do in this? Do not bring up
the environment?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah? Not to him? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
But it would be a little different because Tom Cruise,
so you're your gal, you're in between. She would prep
Tom Cruise that you're coming at him. It would be
different than me just dive bombing Leonardo DiCaprio as he's
walking to a dinner table. That's not a good situation, right,
So what do I This is on a much tinier,
tinier level, But I did at a movie theater. I

(05:18):
introduced John Cusack, and beforehand I spent like three minutes
with him backstage talking and he was very nice. Okay,
And so I'm imagining that you would get at minimum
a few minutes with Tom Cruise in which he would
tell you what to do and what not to do. Like,
I don't mean that, you know what I'm saying. So
do you ask for a selfie? Do you go with

(05:39):
a handshake? What type of handshake? Do you try to
do a quick interview with him? Do you try to
get him on the show Secretcy?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
There's all these things you're already overthinking of.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
The idea of how the idea, the idea is to
is to do something he's not accustomed to, to warm
up to him.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Asked to see his penis, let us see it.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
We all know that.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, what about what about the rule? Are you allowed
to pick him up or not pick him up? I
don't know, he's not.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
All right?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
What if he was?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Anyways, I'm so excited about this so I might get
the chance to meet Tom Cruise. That's not tonight, Okay,
that's later this week. Tonight will just be the screening
and then he's going to be in Dallas stop him
by different theaters because they're just trying to infuse life
and energy into the theater business get people to go
in and watch this movie. So we're gonna have multiple
movie reviews tomorrow, and I don't think I'm allowed to

(06:36):
review it. We're not going to have any you're an embargoed. Yeah,
I'm inm bargoed. I'm not allowed to review it until Wednesday.
Oh good, okay, so this Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah that's weird because moving down out to the twenty
third Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
For whatever reason, those they probably have some sort of thing. Yeah,
critics blah blah blah. So that said, we'll have an
adventure tonight and then maybe an adventure later in the
week where Tom Cruise and I become best friends. Allow
all right? Coming up next? Uh the Hollywood Shovel Where
you going to take his k T? Did a law
get broken by a Hollywood actor? On Saturday Night Live
on Saturday Next?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Ju News Hot God stay on Top in the wood Shovel.
So on Saturday Night Live. Your host this week was
Walton Goggins. If you don't know who that is, he's

(07:29):
in The White Lotus Season three he's a baby Billy
from the Righteous Gymstones. He was Injustified, he was in
the Shield, and he was also his most famous role,
Brian Downtown Anderson in Major League three Back to the Minors.
Wait what? Yes? Yes, he was also in a fallout.
I believe it was called Fallout the Yeah, you think

(07:49):
he was the bass player in Fallout? Boy's okay, I
don't know that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
How did I not see Major League three? It's a
Major League three. I saw the first two.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Scott Bacula big time in it. Dorn does shown up,
show up. Of course, it's not a good movie. Yeah,
and you should all see it. That had been cooler
if his name was Scott Blackula. Why would that have
been cooler?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
You ever seen the black vampire movie Blacula. It's badass.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
So he's your host and he goes out there in
the mong I didn't pull it because I don't want
to spoil it for people. But he spoils basically the
ending of The White Lotus season three, which is, you know,
in the last month ended.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
It's been longer than yeah, right, had of months to
catch up. I don't think he did anything wrong.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
A lot of people mad. I feel like it's even
been longer than a month. When did that thing air?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's been about yeah, probably about a month. Or show
you that time if.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You're such a fan of his, they're like, oh my god,
whatal Goggin's on that SNEL. I've got to watch. I'm
a huge fan, big fan. And then you still haven't
seen the finale of the show that's been over for
a month.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Okay, wait, do people watch sn L for a specific hoe.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well, these are people that watched, They're like they, I
can't wait to watch this. I mean they've already done
uh the White Potus right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think
there's honestly and truly, I think there's a lot of
people that don't even know that guy's name is Walt
Goggins for sure, Like I don't think he's I mean
I think he's Like they even made a joke about
it off the top when they were showing those headlines, like, hey,

(09:23):
we just now discovered this fifty four year old guy
that's been working for thirty years.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, no doubt he's quote unquote having a moment.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I think there's the spoiler rules have gotten very blurry
over the years, I mean, look, I can go back
fifteen years ago. We're been spoiled a big death in
Eastbound in a Boardwalk Empire. Yeah, when Michael Pitt's character
gets shot.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
We weren't working together at the time or world now,
not at the time, were you. Did you hate me
for it for a couple of weeks? Yeah, I got
over it. Still you see the episode, You're like, okay,
really wouldn't begin. Yeah, okay, so don't get on social
like it's my fault. Well, you can tweet whatever you want.
I should saw on social media if I care. At
the time, the thought was, all right, social media is
great to watch something in real time together, like sports,

(10:10):
go through the experience with a third screen or whatever,
go through And so that was the idea, like you
specifically were going through that together.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, and now we're not because too many platforms. People
don't know what they have anymore. They don't even know
what they've bought anymore. So like do you have Hboh's
another thing I have to buy or it's a part
of the package that I have for some people. But
it is like I've seen two guys, this is one
of the crazy. I mean, dude, this is crazy behavior.

(10:39):
As I saw two guys, our good friends, Jeff Cavanaugh
and Mike Dingis, in a span of ten seconds ruined
the two greatest TV shows of all time for.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Each other on the air on the end. So they
ruined it for listeners too.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, but and this is twenty like fourteen. What they do?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
What they do?

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Jeff spoiled what happens to Gus and Breaking Bad yep,
and Dingus responded with what happens to Omar and the Wire?
Yeahcuse Jeff was working on a wire rewatch, which is terrible.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean, it's terrible, but I get it. But what
Jeff broke the rule?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
What Jeff did though, I mean, or what Jeff did
by breaking, like breaking batle was actually happening kind of
in the moment. It was still happening, right like the
wire was fifteen years ago, you know, so, but it
was I was like, oh my god, you guys are sick.
Just go fight in the parking lot. Forgot to do that?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Did uh? Did you you quit watching your friends and neighbors?

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Right? Yeah? I made it through three and just kind
of gave up.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Did you finish it?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Oh, yeah, is what do you mean finish it is?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
That?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Was that the last one?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's still good? Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't
know that they're were they're so they were releasing one
every week. Uh, because we got through about five or
six of them. Oh wow, And I noticed that. I
remember you said you quit watching it, and I thought
you said you quit watching it after three And me
and my wife turned each other after episode three and go,
what just cod's kt to stop watching that? Yeah, like
we weren't sure what it was that you off the

(12:00):
cliff because I thought it was getting better.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, it's the him narrating. It was her, the wife
just not being interested at all after first episode. What
do you mean not being interested? She was out, she
didn't care. Oh you're white. Oh I thought she's great
in that. Yeah, it looks good too, Manda Pete's great
and everything. NBA player was like, yep, give me some
of that. That's the part that I'm like.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
And and when the NBA player be shooting free throws
at his house and by the way, no, the NBA
players made is smoking hot, So what are we doing there? Yeah?
And uh, yeah, it's weird. And he also had a
Lombardi Trophy in his house. There's only you just feel
like it's a bad show though it's it's hard to
do sports. It's hard for people to do sports that

(12:46):
don't do sports.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And the other thing too, is like, you know, there's
certain shows that are just such a high standard, then
there's everything else. I'm watching this show and I'm going
this very much feels like the exact tone and believability
of Weeds.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I watched Weeds for two seasons and I was like,
I'm good, but my wife watched.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
It till the very end.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Right, it's kind of like the same vibe of uh, yeah,
it's like Desperate Housewives but on rateed R.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, it's not it's not believable what's happening. But the
performances are great. It's cool how it's shot. It's it's interesting. Christina,
are you watching it?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
What show?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
It very much is is similar to this book we
read called The Diamond King, Like there's a whole thing thread.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I wondered if it was inspired by that.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I thought.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I said that to Trishah, I wonder if that. And
I think John Hamm is just likable and believable. He's
just got facial expressions. You're like, all right, dude, you
can relate to that guy. Yeah, when he's breaking and
we gotta go. But how come when he's breaking in
these houses, it's not believing.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
It never shows the security cameras. Well.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
We wonder to pay that. There is talk of the
security cameras there. You do get in that, they do
talk about it. I might jump back in and I
think it's pretty good, but we're we're still I think
we've done six episodes.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
We can't over hype it because it's not good enough
to be hyped up that much.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's just below John Hamm to me, it ain't breaking,
it's not It's not the last Fargo he was on
that was far superior. But he's the starting quarterback of
for this franchise. He's dominating this.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I want to see it through.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yep, all right, coming up in just over three minutes,
but hurt oh right, incredible Mother's Day for the Stars.
We'll talk about it here in thirty minutes when we
go around the sports.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
But right now, it's time for this.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's ready, it's ready, it's ready. Here goes here? Is
everyone ready? Yeah? Ready, oh what there it is? That's good. Yeah,
I've done this segment in about eleven years, so it's okay. Yeah,
uh but heard or what Darryl Hall from haull of Oates,
He's mad. He did an interview on something called the
Broken Record podcast and listen.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Oh, Broken Record is the one that Rick Rubin started.
He started, Okay, welcome glad Well, but they don't host
it anymore. Yeah they yeah, and they started it. Now
two guys, no one's ever heard of run it.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Okay, the guys seem pretty knowledgeable.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm yeah, listening to it's music nerddom. It's a good podcast,
and this is.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Getting all the music headlines or whatever. So I was like, okay,
let's go see what this is. And I went and
listen to it and it's pretty good podcast, filmed all
of it. But yeah, like the doobis, there's a lot.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
There was a number of groups like that that they
kind of got eventually pigeonholed as yacht rock, but really
what it was was just R and B guys.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
They're just making R and B records and they were white,
and so.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
This is something I don't understand. First of all, yacht
rock was a joke by two jerk offs in California,
and suddenly it became a genre and I don't even
understand it. I never understood it, and I totally man,
I'm glad you say that it's just R and B.
It's just another with some maybe some jazz in there.

(15:50):
It's mellow R and B. It's it's it's it's it's
smooth R and B. Yeah, I don't see what the
yacht part is.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, Okay, Hey, I'm glad that he's butt heard over this.
And it's funny because he's right, that's what yat rock is.
It's smooth R and B. However, this is really more
of a conversation around how record labels market stuff and
how people follow trends. Right, Like, I can tell you

(16:19):
a number of songs from that era, and some of
them on Thursday night, I'm hosting yacht rock Music Triviat Rollertown.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Okay, you jerk off.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
And as I was, as I was putting together the
list of the songs I'm gonna plan and all that,
there's certain things I'm like, man, this is just R
and B, but I'm including it because people associate it
with yacht rock. But The whole thing is people, Hey,
this is popular. Who's singing about binging on a boat.
I'm gonna do the same thing. There's a bat. Norman
Connors is a badass jazz R and B artist, and

(16:50):
he has an album called Your My Starship and he
is standing on a yacht. He's a jazz dude and
he's standing on a yacht in white pants with a
captain's hat.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Because that was selling music at the time.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Like this, it's really more about like when you go
back and you look at something and you ascribe a
name to it, because it has all these connotations that
they weren't purposely doing at the time. But he's right,
it's a smooth R and B. But I think it's
a butt hurt response. And he seems perpetually butt hurt,
Like I think that I think of him. He's got
a sour taste in his mouth and he's butt hurt

(17:25):
about something. That's just the way I view him from afar.
It may not be fair, but it just seems like
he's always but heart about something. So I would assume, like,
why not just go, hey, man, that's a pretty cool thing.
Honored to be a part of it.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Man, whatever.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
He like, who cares?

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
And have you guys seen any of you guys probably
saw the documentary. That's why Michael McDonald is so great.
Michael McDonald is and he is the face of yacht rock.
And did y'all see the story where Paul Rudd came
up to him in an airport and was like, man,
I am so sorry about that scene in forty year
old Virgin and I hope it didn't offend you. And

(18:00):
he goes, man, I think it's really funny, and I've
got my kids making fun of me about it, and
I laugh every time. The best thing happen for him, Yeah,
he said, if I have to hear this one more time,
y'allo burn the place down or whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
He says, shoot everyone in the store. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's but Michael McDonald, who is the face of yacht rock,
has a sense of here he already says. He says,
if it wasn't for that, people wouldn't be thinking about me, right, Yeah,
why take yourself so seriously? Yeah that you can't like
joke around or look at it through a different lens. Yeah,
Like if someone came up to me and they're like, man,
your rap career sucked to ask so bad it was

(18:34):
yacht rap. I'd be like, awesome, that's great, Yeah, I
love it.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Let's have fun with it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
And you know the other guy who's perpetually butt hurt
and always has been Fagan from Steely Dan.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
He wants nothing to do with But that guy's always
been an a hole time.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
My guy, John Oates is the real hero here. Yeah, yep,
there he goes. That is your guy. You introduced him,
I mean you interviewed him right all right.

Speaker 1 (18:56):

didn't we Well, those are the one I see.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Those are the ones that didn't get in, because snubs
means that you deserve to get in and didn't. Not
all of those deserve to be in.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Mattel Yes, that Mattel football is incredible. To Ben's point,
Mattel should have been the very first thing that ever
went in there.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Wait, and is this the one that's in Frisco, Texas
the National Video Game Hall of Fame. I'm glad you
asked that question, Benz. It's definitely a question. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Okay, Christina, do you know the answer to the question
that Ben asked?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I have no idea. It's the video game.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Because I feel like we could protest in person just
by going and knocking on the door.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
And we've been there before.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
This is in Rochester, New York. Oh, it's a fake
Hall of Fame. There's a World Video Game Hall of Fame.
The video.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's the one in upstate New York.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, Rochester, the World Hall of Fame, that's what it is.
This is the National Hall of Fame in Frisco. So
here who what he here? Two trickled their way in
to the World Video Game Hall of Fame. So these
games will have to get their families by flights travel
up to Rochester.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
It wasn't a powerful stream for them to get.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
In Nintendo sixty four Classic GoldenEye Double O seven, we
voted that in can't argue that that is one of
the greatest video games ever and revolutionary.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
It led to multi player new shooting games. What what
happened in GoldenEye was that like a bad guy like
Golden Finger, you know what.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I don't know if that was the plan there. Yeah,
I'm sure the guy had a gold eye, right, that's
why that happened.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I never saw it.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, I don't remember either me. I was a kid,
had the game, never saw the movie. The last Bond
movie I saw was OCTOPUSY. I do know it was
Pierce Brosnan. Okay, you just wanted to say OCTOPUSY. No,
but I know you saw The Day Will Die or
something did not.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I swear to god. The last Bond movie I saw
was OCTOPUSY with Roger Moore. He was so sassy, he
was so he was the gayest Bond, the gayest bond
we ever had? Your BONDI huh, who is your bond?

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Roger Moore?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Roger Moore for us, not for me. I never was
a I mean I liked the movies, but I was like,
this doesn't make sense to me. Something didn't feel right. Uh,
Daniel Craig, yours, Christina. There's a lot of There's been
a lot of great ones. Daniel Craig's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Mine's Pierce President still and I didn't really watch it.
The one, the one of my youth is Roger Moore.
Like I didn't see Sean Connery movies until I got older. Yeah,
Sean Conney is a badass. He was probably the best one.
Pierce Broston also not really tough, you know, you know,
more of a ladies man than actually tough.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, but the guy from Remington Steele.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
He's the guy from Missus Now fire, let's not get
it next.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah I thought that was Robin Williams.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Tamagotchi. Yes, what is that? It's like a gigga pet.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
It's a little, yeah, digital pet that was on a
key chain that you would take care of and now
I have a stupid app on my phone that can't
get rid of it because I don't want to kill it.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
It's productive, it teaches. It teaches kids, honestly, responsibility, like
feeding a pet and that things that they don't like
to have at a young age. It was actually good
for that.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
I thought they just made you carry an egg around
at school for that.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
An egg nog a digit pet. You probably couldn't play
it back in school. I remember get in trouble, couldn't
but yeah, yeah, we get in trouble for having it.
It was a thing Defender nineteen eighty one. Let's go
all right, I mean that's uh. I love it game, No,
I love it said LG.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
And you said, I mean, I was never really into
that Defender or Joust, but I know a lot of
people were.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Defender and Joust are similar style games.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, explained Defender.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Defender is a ship that's hovering above the surface and
shooting things and going left to right across the screen,
and so you can reverse, like quickly reverse and go
back the other way and shoot the other style.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Okay, Like, have you.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Guys ever done the position reverse Defender? Oh no, I
mean it's like working as like a yoga thing. No,
it's just a when you're a video game and you
can oh yeah, yeah Defender, you're flying or it's the
graphics were terrible, Yeah, nineteen eighty one one, it was
a tough time. You're just I mean, it is basically

(24:22):
kind of asteroids, but you're flying around over some mountains,
just like a line squiggly line draw.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Lastly, getting in nineteen ninety six is Quake. Oh okay,
I mean you know what's quick.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
I'm pretty sure it's Is it a computer game? Because
I think it's a computer game that we used to
play in our class.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
It is a computer game? Is it? The army guy
with a big helmet with a like a advisor that.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
I think that's a fantasy.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
You're talking about the first person shooter game. Yeah, it's
like an alternative to Wolf.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
That's a I don't know what wolf is, but that's
that's where I learned the term FRAG. And we would
play it in class and we would build f R
a G when you kill someone in a video game.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
She was in the middle of two f words that
we definitely can't say any other one.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, Yeah, I feel like this for Quake to make
it in, I mean, I feel like the snub list
was better than they made it list except for Defender.
And this is what happens when you stationed something in Rochester. Yeah,
Rochester sucks.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's fine down.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I mean, it's just a kind of place that that
when Moose goes back home, he would swing by there.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
He said, it's a fine down. That's our slogan. We're
a fine town. Don't get your hopes up or anything.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm not going this year to the induction ceremony there.
It is from the fake video Game Hall of Fame,
the real ones in Frisco. And they have a better
list all right coming up next and around the sports.
What Shippy had to do with a huge Stars win.
We'll discuss next.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Now it's cool around the sports kt as all the sports,
all right, So yesterday was Game three of the Stars
Round two playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets. This game
was two to two heading in to the third period,

(26:14):
and then the Stars rant in's in on the on
the case. Here the guy that they traded fourth the
trade deadline makes a pass and then there's a little
chaos around the net. And by the way, did you
see the game? Did you see all this?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I did not see this.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Okay, So the puck ricochet's in off of a pass
off a play that ranton and created and I read this,
so it's a goal and it went in, but it
actually went in. It appeared kind of off the skate
of the Stars player. And then that led to a
review because it seven minutes long. Well, this is what's

(26:50):
what's good about this. So if you remember on our
show many years ago, there was a fella named Jonathan
Shippy Shipman. He's now the DJ for the Mavericks and
the Stars, and he used to on our show years
ago as a joke, he would just yell out, free
bird because of the thing people do at concerts. He
loved free Bird humor. So something that he's done for

(27:12):
the last couple of years is when there's a big
a review, he'll just start playing Freebird. It's never gone
the full song. Well, yesterday was a review so long
that it got to the solo part in Freebird and
actually jammed out. Do you remember what he played before
free Bird?

Speaker 5 (27:30):
He played a whole other song, played else before he
played let It Be, which I thought was funny because
it was under review.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
No let it be, let the goal stay.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
We need that genius of Zobah.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
On the TV broadcast, the commentary is like, I have
not seen a review this long in a playoff game ever,
and they're like, well, you gotta get it right, and
they're going back and forth on should it be a goal?
Should it not be a goal? After the game, here's
Stars coach Pete de Boor talking about this. Here we go.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
You want them to take as much time as I
need to get it right, you know, I don't want
them to rush and not get it right. You know,
I think you have to have some patience in that.
It didn't feel as long as as a freebirden.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
But so good, and it was like crazy, I'm just
sitting there like watching it, just enjoying the replay because
Freebird's happening, and you just know that shit be smiling
the whole time because he loved Freebird humor. For whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
There's just something about hockey people too. So I met Debor.
He was sitting at the bar at Andrew's American Pizza
Kitchen one night. I went up and talk to him,
and he was just the nicest guy. These Canadians, Dude,
these Canadians, they'll just sit there and he was talking
to people at the bar just you know, just being
a dude at a bar, you know, waiting on some pizza.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
I love hanging out with Julie Dobbs's husband Kelly all right,
because he's just so Canadian and so nice. So ten
minute delay basically to get the review right. And then
when it's not overturned, you don't have an angry play
in early third period, you have a rocking American Airline
Center and within forty five seconds Miko Ranton and takes

(29:09):
it upon himself and scores another goal. Wow, dude, this
guy's nuts. And it's changed everything. It's changed my outlook
of just our future as a city in general. Yeah,
I don't know that we deserve this, as it said,
maybe we do. A lot of people think we do
deserve this.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Tom Leppert wrote an article saying we deserve Rantman, this
is incredible.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
They win tomorrow night. It's a home game. It's an
early start, seven o'clock tomorrow night. Up to win Winnipeg.
I did not know this for whatever reason, because you
know whatever, I'm kevin. Winnipeg has lost eight straight road games.
Is that right? Like a playoff team. The team that
won the most games in the regular season in hockey
has lost eight straight road games.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
So, dude, if we're good, if the Stars win, then
the clinch night will be Thursday night. And the way
I am timing out yacht rock trivia on Thursday night,
it will end right as the Stars game begins, all right,
And so we might have a close out Stars game
at our brewery Insulina that me and bender partner's and
yacht rock leading right into the Stars. It's great because

(30:13):
yacht rock makes you unclinch, oh right, and then the
clinch I will make you clinch.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah. It's a good marriage. I love it.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, very nice. All right, there you have it what
Shippy did to help the stars win.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Coming up next, True Crime KT gets to the bottom
of a murder case.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Do not miss this.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
It is coming your way next.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
And now for the latest in crime, serial killers, cold cases,
cult leaders and blood.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
You know him, you fear him. It's time for True
Crime KT.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Kevin, what's your question, Brodack.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Forever? That's good. Oh Jay's dead, bitch. Do you guys
remember the story of Brian Kilberger, Yes, November twenty two.
I don't remember his.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Name being Coburger.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
He's the He's the guy who went into the college.
It was a home of a bunch of college students,
and he murdered four almost but not everybody in the house.
But he yeah, two made it out alive. Weirdly November
twenty two.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Allegedly allegedly allegedly.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
So this thing doesn't go to trial until August. And
again there's three girls one boy that he killed in
the house at the University of Idaho. Allegedly goes trial
in August. But NBC's Dateline write it up some information
and they got some of his self ue browsing history
and things like that. Uh. Oh, his self une browsing
history showed dozens of pictures of female students at Washington

(31:43):
State University and the University of Idaho, many of them
in bathing suits. That's probably not uncommon. A review of
these accounts, what what did you say out loud? Hold on,
let's dig deeper here, let's dig deeper into that comment.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
It's not unusual to find a bunch of pictures of
college girls at a college very nearby you and bikinis
and have it saved on your phone.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Especially when you're eight or nine years older.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Okay, so with you being so close to UTD North
Texas at some you do you have different folds on
your phone?

Speaker 3 (32:15):
You look at my phone. I can see a review
of those accounts found some of them were close friends
with or followers of three of the murdered students. Oh
their So he's he's zeroed in on three and then yeah,
here's what happened. So defense lawyers maintain his innocence right now,
and they're like, hey, there's another suspect out there. You

(32:35):
got the wrong guy. That's what they're going with. What
happened was he was invited to a pool party that
summer and he went there met all these people and
then became apparently allegedly infatuated with him. Oh this is
why I'm not down for pool parties. Dayline also said
law enforcement found an Internet search for sociopathic traits and

(32:58):
a college student, as well as a search for porn
that contained keywords drugged and sleeping.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Those were within the two months before the murders. It
also shows twenty three visits over a four month period,
all after dark, to Moscow, Idaho, the town where the
murders happened. His defense lawyers are saying, well, he liked
to go on drives alone late at night, often the
high gang or stargazing, you know, normal behavior.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I don't know how these defense lawyers do it. How
do you look yourself in the mirror when you're defending
these people that have committed these just heinous crimes and
you're like, no, it's.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
I It was just out for a walk. You happen
to be carrying a bloody axe, Like what, You're the problem?
I agree with you, but I've heard lawyers talk about
this before. Now, there are just scumback guys trying to
make money, But I've heard lawyers talk about this before.
And it's not even so much the individual case. It's
the process of our legal system and them being true

(33:59):
to it. And that's fine, But there are the individual
circumstances of the case. Ye, your soul is not clean.
If you're gonna do you're gonna dance with the devil
like that. And that's why I mean, if you get
out of that.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, dude, if you are gonna go defend somebody who
created it, who had a heinous murder, you think you're
not wearing that?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Also, Yeah, you're wearing that. Homie Cochran is wearing it.
I'm not sure OJ did it.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
They also kind of the cell phone data will show
he was not near the crime scene when the killings occurred.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Did you see that glove? It didn't fit.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
So they did what they had to do. Yeah, they
did what they must do. And the days after the murders,
there was rousing activity on his phone that law enforcement
would later collect that showed one Google search was a
University of Idaho murders googling it.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, well, he wanted to learn about the case.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
He also searched for a program about serial killer Ted Bundy,
So I guess he watched the Zach Effron Ted Bundy
show like it seems like this is pretty cut and
dry here.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Kind of damning evidence there.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Pretty loud that that data is out, you know, three
months before the trial begins in August.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I would say a lot of that evidence circumstantial.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Did he kill Bill Walsh?

Speaker 1 (35:17):
We'll find out in August. God man, that's a scary,
scary case. All right, thank you True True Crime KT.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
What's going on in Dallas?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
It is top ten city, by the way, Post Malone
performed at at and t H and he came out
on stage, was like, Dallas nice?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Does that make people upset though? Because really he should
be the one doing it right and sorry, actual, yeah,
why should he be doing He's from here, He's from
great great Vine.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Man, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
He's also I was hoping you're going to say that
he's performed that song that we just played right there.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
He could amazing kind of cross between what he does.
Jeral come on out here. He brought that Willie guy
that said, what's his name? Willy? Do y'all know what
cowboys Jersey post he wore, Yes, he wore the kicker
what's the name Brandon Aubrey? So I would say two
points make up for the point he lost for saying
the wrong city and the town you're in not the

(36:19):
wrong city, he yelled Dallas when he was in the
We're gonna go. I'm going to the Ranger game, all right,
I'm going Raging tonight. I'm gonna go see that game
in Colleyville.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I know, conserve the Texas Rangers. But you know where
the Dallas Cowboys play. They play in Arlington. And his
dad works for the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
So he's like.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Dallas, the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks. It's not the Arlington Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
And where's the Dallas Cowboys headquarters.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Used to be?

Speaker 3 (36:45):
And Irving and what do we bitch about all the time,
the Dallas Cowboys And how backwards asked they are. They
don't know what they're doing ever, they don't even know
what town they're in.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
He's going crazy. He just went off. Look at him.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Tech Shram would have never built this thing into the
thing it was if it was the Irving Cowboys, by
the way they practiced at Forest Lane in Dallas.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
What should he have said? Post Loone comes out on stage,
what's up Arlington? In town?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
What up for the one hundred thousand people here for
the twenty five hundred of you from Arlington, what's up?

Speaker 3 (37:18):
And from everyone else who drove to Arlington for the
first time in a while. Hey, DFW is the best thing?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Could say North Texas. North Texas works well.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
I hate when people say just Texas though, because it's like,
you don't know if you're in Houston or Austin right now.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
If you're in Dallas, what's up people who live here?
That's all I've always said about the Rangers. They don't
know if they're in Dallas or Houston.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Okay, so Dallas Observer and on social media. Fund The
other day, I put it out on Instagram, Facebook, blah
blah blah, name the worst suburban DFW Irving. Then they
tallied the results. Number five is Irving.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Let's go, what do I win? I went to post Alone, Jersey.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Now, I don't be honest, I'm not taking part in
any of this because I think every town, especially the
town that our listeners are in, is beautiful. If you're
listening to me right now, your town is beautiful unless
you don't like it. Dude, I guarantee you white settlements
on this.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Do you remember that audio clip of Ben going your
town is beautiful.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
This is a different movie. Uh, Irving, I can't Irving.
I've come around on Irving quite a lot in the
last five years. Dude, the twiled and music factory is
pretty often that whole area is okay.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
But isn't that really lost? It really is lost Calenus?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
I mean that's right, And that's the key that what's
his name got?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, yeah, maybe Tom Cruise will get a key to
lost Calenus is today when Ben catches up with him.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Now, Irving, here's what they've been fighting. Texas Stadium goes away,
the Byron Nelson goes away, huh, but incomes entertainment and
possibly a resort too. Possibly.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
So shake a stick, throw a rock, You're gonna hit
a resort. So what, By the way, man, this is
how bad I've been screwed. At the end of my
main street that my neighborhood lives off of, they're not
only building a costco, they're building a resort, Like within
not even a half mile of my house. They're building

(39:17):
a costco across the street from a resort. Now, I
already avoid the other end of Stacy because it's so
congested because of those discount malls and all that development.
I only go towards one twenty one. I'm gonna every
day in about three years, I'm gonna pull out on
Stacy and I'm just gonna turn the engine off until

(39:38):
the car runs me over.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, You're gonna pull out on Stacy and do that.
She's a great road. Okay, So is it? What's there?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
A hotel and a resort?

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah? No, I think you're saying resort, but there's no
This thing almost trying to get to Allen to enjoy this.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Thing is gonna have. Let me ask you this, do
you guys considered great Wolf lodge or resort? Yeah? I do.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
This is what the giant water park.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Okay, dude, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna set my
house on fire at the inch.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Can you say that out loud?

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
The evidence right there?

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Number four Frisco what.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
What?

Speaker 3 (40:21):
What is that? More just a jealousy? Haters? Probably haters
They hate us because they us. They hate us because
they US. And look, Frisco in twousand and six was farmland.
So I mean, I think give it a chance to
establish itself and be a suburb for a number of years, first,
before you start crap, let.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Me just say before I know, we got to go, Ben,
but let me just say Frisco had a big part
in the actual World Cup.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Coming here, Yeah, think about that. Yeah, dumbasses, Okay.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Coming up in less than four minutes, let's beat the
hell out of that, and uh we'll talk about what
what are the other worst suburbs in DFW according to
the study.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Uh, but if you have, if you would like to
weigh in on this, we put out.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
A post on Instagram at nine to seven to one
the Eagle and ask this question, what is the worst
suburb in DFW. Maybe we'll read your comments or be
influenced by your comments on that Instagram post. Go comment
on it right now, but coming up in just over
three minutes Part two of this discussion. We are smack
dab in the middle of the five worst suburbs in
the DFW according to Dallas Observer's reader's pull. And just

(41:23):
a second ago KT gave you number four. It was Frisco.
And already there is a lot of controversy happening right now.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Uh yeah, I mean number five, Irving, Number four, Frisco.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
And then do they say why they've lost their damn minds.
Frisco's number one in terms of being the best.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, Kevin, and this is here's a couple of things
The Dallas Observer said in their article, like, hey, people,
who if you voted on this, have you never had
the Texas twinkie from Hutchins Barbecue? Like have you ever
been to some of these places? But a lot of
people just pick places that they're not from, or you know,
this is the Observer. They're hipsters. They're like, oh, look,
these guys are way out in the urbs. It can't

(42:00):
cool out there.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
That's all that.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
That's not dude, this is all readers, this is all
Baska reads. They didn't they didn't weigh in on this,
I know, but they did the math.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
To Ben's point, the people that read The Observer, which
by the way, I'm one of them. I love the Observer.
I am I'm a I'm a now I'm an aging
Kelly article on Kelly Dearmore is my guy.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
We love Kelly.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I'm gonnasue him. But they just put the post on
social media. They just went and tall the results.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
And I and I I think I don't think Kelly
lives in Frisco. But he doesn't live far from it.
He's not anti northern urbs. But to Ben's point, I
think in general the readers of the Dallas Observer are
the Dallas Denizens, the East Dallas hipsters, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Three is not a knock. I support the Dallas Observer.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Places where the Dallas Observer is there in their favorite diner.
Three Garland, we just rocked Garland. I really loved the
paragraph that Kelly Dearmore road here. I want to read
you some of it. Okay, perhaps the mangraves against Garland
lyon what it's not. It's not one of the glitzy
and urging suburbs like Alan or prosper A good chunk
of town has a tendency to look old and out

(43:04):
of date. But it was recognized as the state's most
outstanding districts by the h EB Excellence in Education Awards,
and it's one of the most racially diverse populations in DFW.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Respect Okay, nude, I and look, we've always hated Garland
because we're from Richardson and we're death rivals. But when
we went out there to Fortunate Sun, we had an
absolute blast and I was blown away by how cool.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
It was.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
It reminded me like a little baby Austin.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Red Garland's great. All of these towns are great, and
that goes for you except for number two.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
That's a great way to the number two.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
You get what's coming to you. You get old Plano.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Okay, Well, because of all the heroin deaths in the nineties,
just so washed.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
There's the last things done, like Colin Creek Mall. I
don't know, Like, what have you seen Colin Creek Mall.
I know That's what I'm saying. It's the last thing
it did that was good. I mean, it's had its
day everything. It just mowed a right on past it
like a tidal wave. I will say this, and part
of it is Plano is more sprawling than Richardson. But
I feel like Richardson's resilience has shined brightly in the

(44:11):
last decade in a way that Plano's has not.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Boom in your face, Kevin, I just.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Think Plano and then they let all that sewer water
run down because they had a water problem on their sewer.
Water ran into white Rock Lake a couple Oh, that
was Plano's doing on their receipt right now, That's why
they're getting blasted. It fell out of a pipe at
Colin Creek. I just think Plano two takes credit for
some things that are actually in the colony and in
Frisco and Planos, like the towers.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
You know what, There are surprising places of Plano that
you don't realize, right north.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Just kidding. We love planet here you Mosquito number one,
Sunny Veil, speaking of sne lives out there not far off.
Shout out to the Skeeters number one, the Mesquite Skeeters.
Oh all right, So what are they saying? Too many wranglers?

(45:05):
That's it. No other Dallas over garnered more social media
votes on the poll question what's the worst suburban DFW
than Mesquite? Dude, they're mascot.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
That's offensive to call the mosquiter. Yeah, I can't do that.
That's Chris Arnold used to talk about that the Windows
to the Wall did I say?

Speaker 3 (45:22):
However, those who chose Mosquite didn't give us many reasons
why they voted that way.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
See, I can understand you people that are putting Garland
and Mesquite and Planeo and Irving, because they've all those places.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Have sucked for a long time. And they're long standing punchlines.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
But if you haven't gone back in and checked recently,
like to me, Garland has improved their situation. I can't
tell you that Plano or Mesquite has, and definitely Irving hasn't.
But Frisco shouldn't be on this list, and Garland should
not be on this list. I think that this is
a I think Frisco is the one that stands out
that I think is a reflection backlash of the typical

(46:01):
observer headlines.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Yeah, I guess, dude, again, if the coupleys are there too,
that's another thing that makes people go good.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Okay, you ask observer readers what the best suburb in
DFW is, they're going to say Deep Elm. That's interesting
before all the gentrification. Dude, there's a couple of blocks
of deep Ellum that's way too swaggy.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Now, I could see Frisco making the top five there too. Yeah,
and the most top and the and that's where you
want to be. You want to be in the middle.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
I think, you know, it is a lot of people
consider to be a hip again, and I really no offense, Allen.
I think I want to move there. It just would
be further away from the brewery we're opening in October.
But I'm jealous of KT living in Richardson. I love Richardson,
and it's not just because we grew up there. I mean,
I grew up on the East Side, and if I
moved back there, I wouldn't want to move to the

(46:48):
west side. But I just think it has reshaped itself
in an amazing way. I love downtown Richardson. I like
that whole Lockwood district.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
I like all of it. Richardson. You're kicking ass. I'm
gonna blow you a kid us.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Well, thank you, and I'll take that win, all right?
All right?

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Hell On?

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Did you hear her tepid clapp in there?

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Yeah? Good golf club? Yeah, okay, all right, he defends Richardson.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Kati is gonna take the win on behalf of Richardson.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
All right.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Coming up next in the weekly Weekday Update, why today
is the last good day?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
We'll discuss next week.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
And now it's time for Basis Weekday up Day, featuring
veteran news anchor KT fun tweets. Here are the important.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Stories he's currently tracking from around the world.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Why you should enjoy the rest of today. In a
second quick weekend headlines. I'm gonna run these through. We're
not gonna do any of these stories. You guys ready,
I'm excited. Airborne car crashes into Oak Cliff home. Neighbors
say it's not the first time. Man arrested after attacking
mother with machete. Grand jury decides not to charge Dallas

(47:53):
neurologist in child sex assault case. Street racing since current
to oncoming traffic killing driver in Dallas and Vine Delli.
Owner was New Pope's schoolmate. Hey, I want to know
more about all of those stories.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
I wanted to comment on all of them.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
But what we really need to get to you guys,
get your shorts ready for the summer pants season is over.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah, I'm going with real tiny little jogging shorts whole
summer long. Yeah, I'm gonna wear a speedo and tuck
my shirt into Wait, why are you lying?

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Long?

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Was it not up here in the office'll do.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I am doing it in the office. I'm gonna it's
gonna be a corporate speedo. Yeah, I haven't read the
part in the handbook where it says you can't wear.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I thought we had speedo Wednesdays. Yeah, you should not
do that.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
On the day when there's actually people in the office.
So I thought we were doing that on that thing
where we all went on a pedal ride.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Honestly, Monday Friday you can get through with the speed
on the office around here. Wednesday would be a bad plan.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Okay, gotcha? Uh when's the last time you were speed o, Katie?

Speaker 3 (48:55):
I don't think I ever have you know?

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Liberating?

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Yeah, no, I would like to.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
I haven't worn one since I was in competitive swimming.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
I you know what, I take it back. You just
remind me when I did powerlifting. You know, Christina, you're
in You're in love with uh? You know?

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Dallas Observer radio host of the Year Mike Siroy twenty legend.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
He's a hero.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Love everything about him. But what if everything about him
was exactly the same, but anytime he went swimming he
wore like a straight up thong speed up and everything
else was normal. But he liked to do that and
he would never change. Would you still be in love
with him?

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Absolutely? And we don't really go swimming that much.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
So I thought, what if he wanted to go swimming
at a public pool every Saturday and flash his cheeks?

Speaker 3 (49:47):
That's totally fine.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
If he got real into working out and wore a
speedo unitard every time. I don't know if we're allowed
to say that anymore. Every time that he would go lift.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Waves, I wouldn't be there watching him.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
So sure, what if he insisted on you going there
to watch him and spot him? I had time for
that and were and we're a matching one.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
I think we have other stories to get to, right case.
The high on Wednesday is gonna be one hundred what
one on one and some some I'm not going new stations.
I'm not going anywhere. Ninety six tomorrow, one hundred to
one on one Wednesday, ninety five Thursday, ninety four Friday.
Get this though next week all in the upper eighties,
which we will take, but still I'm still not seventies.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Like now, this is the time of the year where
we're tricked into thinking, wow, this is a really nice
place to live, like you know, the and then it
starts getting so unbelievably hot that you're like, why why
do we live here? Yeah, dude, You'll go into the
bathroom and you'll find that your scroat is melted off.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
That's terrible.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
We get sixty days in the spring, I feel like
we get about ninety to one hundred days in the fall.
I could be wrong, ends up. I mean, give or
take depending on the year. About half the days you're
pretty nice around here, and you know, it's interesting, man,
half the time it's pretty nasty. Talking to someone from
Chicago and they're like, there's five months a year that

(51:07):
I don't understand why I'm alive. Like he gets so
brutally cold and the wind comes off that water and
it's like negative ten degree wind chill, and they're just like,
I don't know why I live here. And we're the same,
but we're just about three and a half to four
months in the summer for the heat. And the other
way I think I'd like to say, though, is that
it's all changing a little bit and becoming a little

(51:29):
more muddled. And yes, it is because of global warming
and climate change, if everyone's afraid to say that whatever.
Our good friend Travis Frederck, who lives north of Chicago,
I think he lives in the southern tip of Wisconsin,
and I remember him last winter going, Jesus, you are
having a worse winter than we are. It's really nice
up here. Is we're dealing with like frigid temperatures in

(51:49):
the winter time, and he's like, oh, yeah, we haven't
got snow yet.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
You guys get found it. It is weird that he
lives in just the tip, Wisconsin. Yeah, it's why do
they call it so aggressive on moving there too? And
all there to be a dairy unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Uh that's good. That's a good report.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Yeah, thank you, Kevin.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Uh wait, do you have any suggestions for combating.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
The heat deodorant?

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Yep, all right, where are you gonna take us in
the Big finish KT.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Well, something big is happening potentially for the Dallas Mavericks
in about twenty five minutes. We'll tell you what it is.
Next kill shot. The thing's big big, So after the show,
if you are a MAVs fan in your care the
NBA Draft lottery is tonight in Chicago and the Mavericks

(52:37):
have a one point eight percent chance of getting the
number one pick. I like it saying there's a chance
they have, uh, which, by the way, nineteen ninety three
the Magic got the number one pick with a one
point five percent chance. So if you got lucky like
the nineteen ninety three Orlando Magic, did.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
You know who was supposed to have the number one pick, right, Uh,
the Dallas mass You gotta be kissed shock too, right,
they left frog dust and we won like a last game,
or I guess it wouldn't mattered in that case, but
man already had.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
The worst so bad back then. Eight point five percent
chance at a top four pick.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
All right, dude, I I think we got a shot here,
But we do, And I'm gonna tell you why, because
I'm so desensitized to it that I don't even care anymore.
Nice in other words, like epathy. Right, when you give
up is when you get it?

Speaker 3 (53:24):
Yes, right, it's right.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
So the Stars are doing somebody giving up on that
give up the Stars, now there they go.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
You know, you give up on the WNBA, Now you
get paid, right exactly. So did you see her numbers
the other night in that preseason game.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
What you do?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
It's like a double wow?

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Anyways, I don't know that they're going to get the
number one pick, but I could see us lucking out
and using that eight percent shot and getting a top
four pick. And that would be huge for the Mavericks,
who just decimated their own roster. So this would be
a huge boost to just have some luck fall in
their lap, because all these wound are self inflicted. Here's
a funny tweet response I got, like about a week

(54:04):
or two ago. I tweeted, Hey, is anybody thinking about
the lottery at all? Some guy goes, yeah, but if
we got the number one pick, we would just trade
it for Paul George. I mean that, butole that's going
around a lot Every couple days, one of my sons
brings me, Dad, did you see what, okay, so you
got for Paul George? And now Jannis is saying, yeah,

(54:25):
I'd be willing to look around. And of course it
sounds like it's gonna be San Antonio or Houston something
in the Mavericks have to play all the time. But
if you look at what Milwaukee's about to get for Giannis,
I'm like, wait, hold on, it's already out there that
you're shopping him. Isn't the agent gonna get involved and
ruin the return? Like, how's that gonna work?

Speaker 2 (54:42):
What if?

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Oh well, so if it's a little bit different, if
the guy wants to go somewhere he's in control, right,
then the agent worked. They're gonna get a nice old dude.
It's gonna humiliate the Mavericks once. Absolutely. I mean Rudy
Gobar Like, people bring up Rudy they give up four
for round pick Fordy Gobert. What if san Antonio gets
the number one pick, you realize they have their pick,

(55:05):
and I think they have Atlanta's really yes, dude, what
you know, there's been so much focus on all the
picks that Oklahoma City has, which, by the way, if
Philadelphia does not get a top six pick, it goes
to Oklahoma City.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Oh my god, they're so rich. They're so rich.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
But if you just go and look at the draft
tall san Antonio has now it pretty much rivals Oklahoma Cities.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
They got a ton of picks, dude.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
So no tim with the worst record has won the
lottery since twenty nineteen?

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (55:32):
So Utah Jazz do not have that in their favor.
The Jazz, the Wizards, and the Hornets all have a
fourteen percent chance to get Cooper Flag tonight.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
I think the Wizards have the worst record the last
two years. They're really doing their damnedest.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
I think the Jazz had it this year. The worst
show I'm.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Combined, I give you took over a two year period.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
So the Wizards have been really really and apparently I've
seen that Cooper flag would love to go to Washington
because it's close to.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Where he grew up.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Washington and the Hornets teams who I would not have
been as mad about if they traded Luca to them.
I mean, it still hurts and all that stuff, but
it's like, you know, goes there where it's not in
our face so much.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
We didn't talk about it, but Stein had an article
last week kind of indicating that he thinks lucas going
to sign here pretty quick.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
I mean, yeah, that's what it is. It is what
it is. That's okay, that's okay. Hey, Jalen Smith signed
with the Raiders, So there's your sports news.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Okay, dude, I love it, and we should say that
maybe you said it earlier. The Mavericks have never once
moved up in the lottery in their entire.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Existences, going have they ever sent Roe don't usually Michael Finley.
I think usually Rod just hangs out around the lottery,
But I don't know that they've ever sent him to
represent He's the guy.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
God, I want it bad. I want it bad, but
I just would love Cooper Flagg being a Mavericks. He
is so talented. Anything, just any tough just some good
fortune coming on the way. This is the biggest you
fall I can I can remember in my lifetime. It's like,
you're in the finals, then you shoot both your coconuts
off yourself? Self inflicted? Are you you guys could have

(57:12):
done it? Have you guys thought about what's happening to
these teams?

Speaker 3 (57:14):
I have? Yeah, I think about it every day and
I try not to and I don't talk about it
with anyone, and I don't want to just the field.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Even if Boston digs their way out of this New
York series, which I think is possible, they look tired.
They look like a team that went to the finals
last year and is worn out, and poor Zingis is
in and out, you know he's I mean, dude, they
looked like a.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Totally different team.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
I watched the Celtics and I'm like, they can't score
down the stretch of a game.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
I'm like, where was this against us?

Speaker 5 (57:44):
They were?

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I mean again, they're tired. They were peaking last year.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
That was the culmination of four years of it not
working out, and they got it all cranked, everything hitting
on all cylinders and it is important.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
This was this worked out for the Mavericks twenty eleven.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
It is important to have at least one or two
guys that's at the end of his career that's always
been denied. And they had Horford last year who had
always been on the doorstets. So it's like everything worked
out for the Celtics last year and now, which I
think this is fair. I mean, I think Oklahoma City
is amazing. But we did talk about this. There are
times where if Shay ain't going, they look around for

(58:24):
offense man Holme, Grin ain't there yet, he will be.
Williams is up and down, but you know they I mean, dude,
the Nuggets won a game in which Jokic was horrible
because everybody else stepped up, and those guys that stepped
up they had championship rings.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Yeah, it is hard.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Somebody else talking to somebody about the Rangers winning it
all and then they were like, what happened the next year.
It's just hard to go back to back in sports,
when your season goes so long, you got that championship
meet in your belly, you've gone on a parade. Yeah,
this is hard to get that same edge. It is
which is why you know my son wants to yell

(59:04):
at me. This is why Michael Jordan's the greatest ever.
He won six titles and essentially seven years. I know
there was a two, but remember one year he just
went off and gambled and then he had to get
his mojo back in his prime. He just marched his
team to back to back three peats. Because he will
chew your head off and spit it at your lifeless body.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
He's just he just different man, a little bummer. Well,
hopefully tonight we get the pick and that'll change the thing,
the change the city. The city's in a good but
the stars are doing well.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
I don't know that it would honestly, if the Mavericks
got the number one pick, I think ultimately, obviously that
would be a great thing. I think most Maverick fans
would just rather have Luca back than get the number one.
They would absolutely would. But I also think that if
you get the number one pick and you have an
off season, and and you know you brought this up

(59:58):
last week, then the fact that Luca's not dancing on
your television every night, it helps, it helps, it helps.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Get a chance.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
So if you go if you if you do get
the number one pick, which we're talking about, it's less
than a two percent chance. But if you do get it,
and then you have a whole offseason and you come
back at the beginning of next year. Because the other thing,
if they get the number one pick, they will probably
put together a nice trade deal involving one PJ.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Washington, I would go get Giannis.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
No, I don't think they can do that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
I think I think whatever San Antonio and Oklahoma City
put together will just destroy whatever you could come up
with because of your haul for Lucas. Yeah, and and
they also the Mavericks don't have any of their picks
when they're going to be horrible. They'll do those swaps, right,
They got a lot of pick swaps with OKAC and
San Antonio, Houston. It's like all their biggest rivals have

(01:00:47):
their picks when they're going to be a bottom three
team in the league. But they got that twenty twenty
nine Lakers pick unprotected.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Yeah, when Lebron's gone and quickly. Cowboys schedule comes out Wednesday,
but it has been announced they will play the opening
night game against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
I I think Philadelphia is exhausted. I don't think they'll
win a game this year.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
The theories at the NFL is like, well, we never
got to see dak Rus Jalen Hurts last year, so
let's make sure we get it one time, because that
got hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Over under right now, one hundred and five yard one
hundred and five point five yards for pickings in game one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Under Man, What a jerk.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
I'll never forget the time KT ruined everybody's pickings dream.
On the day of the draft lottery. He looked Cooper
Flagg dead in his eye and he said, do your job,
go home, enjoy your night, turn around, do it again.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Die. That's life.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
And then Cooper Flagg took his name out of the
draft and re enrolled in college. All right, Christina, stick
around and play some music right here on the eagle.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
There you going.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Well, I'm gonna get my sock bag dude, all right,
