Episode Transcript

(00:07):
Yet inside out of that here themost warning in the world. Kay,

(00:29):
six thirty six, Good morning America. How are you Dallas Fort Worth?
The Metroplex the year twenty one hundredwill be the largest metroplex in the United
States of America? Are you ready? I saw estimations of influx of people
coming to enjoy our I don't knowline of totality for the eclipse and double

(00:53):
from first estimations were around two hundredthousand. I saw reports last night that
they're expecting upwards of four hundred thousandto a half a million people to DFW
jes. Yeah, traffic is goingto be an absolute nightmare, probably this
weekend Sunday. People coming in.Yeah, Like Kevin reported yesterday, hotels

(01:15):
are at ninety nine percent capacity rightnow. Yikes. I want to stay
at home. I want to jointhe party at Clyde Warren, But dude,
that might be the epicenter probably,you know, I have to leave.
I don't know how that's going.I mean, yeah, I wouldn't
turn I want to turn off anyonefrom going down there. But I don't

(01:38):
have a lot of interest in fightingthat traffic. If it If it's as
bad as people say, there's agood chance it's not going to be as
bad as people say, especially oncewe get the weekend forecast and everyone tells
you how cloudy it's going to beon Monday, saying clouds now on Mondays
say that it's not going to bebad until later, like it looks better
than it did a few days ago, because you, yeah, because there's

(02:00):
rain moving in like Monday overnight,and then we've got three days of between
fifty and seventy percent chance of rainTuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But
Monday is showing that's starting to build. Sunday is supposed to be sunny and

(02:20):
eighty two, So let's just doit Sunday Monday when we see clouds and
eighty three. Boy, today we'regonna get close to f and ninety.
And Jeort's our good buddy that oftenor sometimes broadcasts with TC their weekend show.
He texted or tweeted yesterday he goesofficial first day of getting in your

(02:43):
car and it it's too hot reallyyeah, yeah, yeah, because if
you yeah, if you you parkyour car and driveway or on the street,
you know that feeling the first daywhen you get in your car.
It's like Oh my god, wehave to air it out and turn on
crank your a see and roll yourwindows down where it's just blistering. He
said, yesterday was the first dayof twenty twenty four feeling that way.

(03:06):
See, I mean if you lookat their phone, next two weeks,
I mean like two saturdays from now, seventy seven high so we're still okay.
If you're in the sun in certainplaces, it's a plus ten.
And they actually did a study onthis, like you did a study on
this. Oh no, it wasn'tme. The Coalition of Science what Weather
in Dallas, though. They they'redoing it's called heat mapping, and they're

(03:31):
finding out neighborhoods that have I wasgoing to do the story yesterday and just
get into it. Neighborhoods that havepockets where it may be eighty one degrees
outside but it's ninety two where you'reat. I saw this too, and
it's based off what you would imagineconcrete jungles and lack of trees. But
the reason they're doing this is wherecan we plant more trees to create shade

(03:53):
for the future? What can wedo? They're working on a pavement cooling
technology which that sounds very McKinny musicvenue like that. But what if your
sidewalks weren't automatically torched by the sun. That is the futuristic world. Trees

(04:13):
are the answer, Kevin. Treeshave the answer to many things that We
have a lot of them here.There's nothing better than just a canopied road.
There's a lot of them over anoak cliff. And I want to
yes, I mean, that's atrick, dude. Why don't we plant
one million of the biggest trees inthe world. The problem is if they
take fifty years to get the bigones, they're done. They're huge already,

(04:38):
one million of them. Redwood's evenI don't know what has the biggest
canopy. This is an idea thathe has, Danny. Yeah, if
you would just open up and listen, listen to my plan. You can't
plant a fifty year old tree,that is the hell. You can't sixty
feet in the air. We goto the Sequoia, these California hippies.

(05:00):
Yeah, maybe even during the eclipse, but under the cover of darkness.
Sorry, Yank, and Redwood's onemillion of them. Four minutes to do
it, big ass Texas trucks.Yeah, due east before they even know
what hit them. We plant toplant from they're going to be taller than
a lot of these most of ourbuildings. Can if he's can if he's
canopy shade, tornado, fall overdamage house. I mean, look for

(05:25):
every idea, there does need tobe backup plans, contingency plans. Well
I have those, I just don'tcare to share them right now. It's
truly the best thing about living inan old neighborhood is the old trees because
they've had you know, my likemy neighborhood's had sixty years to mature.

(05:45):
I think my home was built insixty two or sixty three. And I'm
sure the live oaks, there's tonsof live oaks in Far e Stallus.
I'm sure that when those trees wereplanted, and you can tell they were
strategically planted. It's not like theywent in and contoured the neighborhoods to accommodate
for the existing trees. They youknow how they do. They raise everything
down and then they replant. Butthankfully, you know, my trees are

(06:10):
sixty years old and they look sixtyyears old, but they're huge. Like
I the two live oaks that arein front of my house are massive,
and they cannot be my yard andhome so much that my cooling bills are
lower than they should be. Butthe problem is is I don't get a
lot of good green grass just becauseI don't get quite enough sunlight. They
neighbors next door to me don't havethat, and their grass is just but

(06:31):
you know, they don't have tomost much. Yeah, yeah, so
your house is majority covered by myshade. My electric bills are criminally low
because of the coverage that I haveover my house. But that's another thing.
You've got to make sure that they'remaintained otherwise, you know, like
Kevin said, tornadoes coming big winds, especially now, and sometimes in the

(06:54):
fall, you can those things getknock the f over. And even worse
is when you get the big freezeand you're not making sure all those little
suckers that are attached to your limbsaren't holding water and turning into ice,
which creates a massive amount of weightand burden on those old trees. They
just crack. So you've got tomake sure about you know, once every

(07:16):
two years, that you give thosethings a fair trimming. But that's I
would never have bought that house.If it didn't have those, that was
one hundred percent. The tipping pointfor the sale was the fact that that
house had the best, biggest,damn live oaks on that street. Like,
yes, I'll take it. Forsome people, it's escrow. For

(07:40):
some people, it's location for Dannytrees shade. And he's right, that's
why he's smarter than you and I. I know, we're like looking at
foundation whatever. Dude, you've gotlike a nine hundred foot pecan tree.
It's not eighty three feet. Itis eighty three feet, idiot. We

(08:00):
talked about our friend Joel who wascamping during nine to eleven and went out
for like three days. Someone textin, and it feels legit because we
didn't remember how he actually found out, like three or four days later.
The textter says, No, Joelcame back from the trip, popped in
a VHS tape to see the latestSimpsons episode he recorded and saw it was
interrupted by nine to eleven. Okay, thank you. It's amazing that this

(08:20):
is why eyewitness testimony is so wobblycourt cases, because that's how I would
have said it on the stand.And No, this is what actually happened.
Your facts are completely rings just madeup on what we remember. God,
yeah, I mean it's insane.Yea, all three of us would
tell a story from three months ago. Different Like what real quick? What

(08:46):
Kevin did the idea while we wereon ideas? Yeah, the idea was
I make the one hundred and fortyyard golf shot. What if I had
the option? Was he bringing itback to this already because I said,
we're going to get to it.It's gonna be quick. What if I
had the option to purchase a videoof that shot? Because the camera there

(09:09):
was a camera in the trees showingthe green and you could see like a
security camera footage, and like you'relike, you could go into the club
house after the round and go,hey, I made an incredible shot on
ten. I would love to seeit. And they no cameras allowed and
take you into the room and theywill show it to you twice. Okay,

(09:31):
you get to see it once andyou get one replay, but no
cameras because you can't have anyone.And you see it and you have the
option to purchase that video. That'sa great idea. Make money. Have
those cameras strategically placed there recording.It's all going into a cloud saved for
you know, you get a weekand then they rub over it or whatever.

(09:52):
You go in, you get aday. You got a guy that's
in there that sees it's got acamera on your tee, it's got a
camera on the fairway. It coversevery one of your strokes. No,
it's a good idea, but thetoo ambitious, and we cleaned it up
a little and realistically just on thepar threes, because a hole in one
is the one that you would ifyou holut from a fairway. Yes,

(10:13):
it's magical, but that's you're talkingabout one hundred more cameras. If you
have every hole. Cambers are cheap, well, no, but you pretty
good quality. And if you justmost most courses have four par threes on
them. And if you just hada t box cam and a green cam,
and if you do make a holein one, you can purchase video
for what a hundred bucks? Imean I was thinking about Yeah, and

(10:35):
burned the date, the time,a logo of the course, what hole
yardage that's all burned in and youget a quality like one minute video of
your hole in one on fixed camerasand they can't be manned because that's cost
wise unrealistic. They have to beyeah, fixed, and that's why you
get the option for fixed cameras.But the guy monitoring, the guy in

(10:58):
the security room has acts to thatand he can pull that clip and pull
that clip and I think, yeah, can just click. I mean it's
that's that's a really good idea becauseif you do get a hole on one,
you can usually buy a plaque inthe pro shop with the date and
a little cup where you put theball that you made the hole on one.
So if the quality happens to suck, you can go, well that's

(11:18):
not worth it. But they giveyou two viewings of it, okay with
no phones. You have to leaveyour phone out of the room because that's
cheating, and then you pay thehundred bucks for it. I think people
they can make a little extra scratchdoing. But how many hole on ones
would you have to sell to justifythe installation of the cameras? Would you
want the high action fifty foot birdieputt with your friend's reaction, Yeah you

(11:41):
would. I think it would beincluded as part of like a the experience,
the hospitality. This is what weoffered our golf course. If you
make a hole in one, youget to go home with a cool four
K, badass video courses and nicecourses. Yes, but Steven's Park has
so much more play more hole inones. I dude, I there is

(12:01):
something there. Hear me out golfcourses, get on board, Kevin Turner
at iHeartMedia dot com. They don'tneed to talk to you. You just
gave them your idea for free outof the The last thing they want to
do is reach out to you.Yeah, so you can make some frivolous
claim that this was somehow your idea. This is already under the umbrella Soroy

(12:24):
Industries anyway, m hm, becauseyesterday you said you didn't want it though,
well you didn't need it. We'redoing well, I don't need this.
We're response like it's a good ideaof handing to you for a free
I don't need it. Well,Kevin had of miraculous hole out from one
hundred and thirty eight yards yesterday foreagle over drove a part four, drove

(12:48):
it over the green. Well,yeah, but that one stayed on the
green doesn't matter, all right,what are we doing? We're Danny Kevin
Danny. Yeah, I thought youwere gonna set it up. Oh sorry,
So yesterday we had Larry the cableguy on the show. There you
go. He called in, He'sgonna be at the Invited Celebrity Classic Great
Golf Tournament Lost Calena, celebrity proam type thing, A lot of fun,

(13:11):
a real tournament too. I'm notgonna lie. This was a rickety
interview for the first half. Yeah, connection was wobbly. He was wobbly.
You know. Uh, maybe havebeen early for him, Might have
been early for him, or yeah, maybe he did hit the you know,
hit the bottle. Who knows.Probably not, I don't know,
but he you know, we gotto the point that we had a plan

(13:35):
the whole way. We did wanthim to give a shout out to Danny's
son, Malcolm, my little threeyear old, because he's Toemader in the
movie Cars Ye and all the Carssequels, And we were reluctantly talking about
it. We're kind of like,yeah, I mean, it's almost like
asking a celebrity for autograph. Idon't if I want to do it,
but let's get there and let's doit for Malcolm. We got the force

(13:58):
field that is Malcolm. It fromMalcolm. There's nothing we want do for
Malcolm. Absolutely, we have madeher on the phone. Yep, we
do this for Malcolm. So weasked him and he obliged with no pushback
whatsoever, and delivered us this golda little customized shout out to my three
year old for me to play forhim later. Hey, Malcolm, Hey,

(14:20):
this is Maid like I made itwithout the tump boy I might have
heard, and the Tornader in thetrading park, the juice fans of mad
If you ever get to the Radiatorfriends, Dad Gum, you and me,
we'll do some backward driving. Allright, ten, Malcolm, don't
forget you and me. We's bestfriends. See you later. This is

(14:45):
made. He it was awesome.Okay. When he says don't forget you
me his best friend, you andme, we all teared up. Yeah,
everyone that heard it teered up.Christina was driving in. She's like,
yeah, I don't know, telllittle kid that uh huh direct from
his favorite movie car character. Uhhuh? Is that's magique. It was

(15:05):
really really cool. So I goto pick up Malcolm. He's at his
mom's and I show up and notonly is his mom there, obviously there,
but his grandma, Audrey's mother,is there. He calls her mam,
all right, and I didn't know. I didn't know man was going
to be there. I was like, oh, hey, what's up.
So we're, you know, talking, and she listens like Audrey's mom,

(15:26):
Malcolm's Malcolm's mother's mom listens to ourshow. Hi Mam, Hi mam.
And so she she goes, Imissed the I had to get out of
the car when you know, Iheard part of it, but I didn't
get to hear the whole thing.So I was like, well, let's
kind of set this up. SoI look, I've got about four different
videos. I'm trying to figure outhow to do this. So this is

(15:48):
me and I think Audrey is filmingme kind of setting this up for Malcolm,
okay, okay, And this isme telling him what happened. And
I did recording and somebody wanted totell you a special message. Okay,
So that's him and he's looking atme, So play what we just heard.

(16:10):
Now. Let me let me prefacethis by people that have toddlers around
this age know this dynamic and theirbrains aren't developed enough to in real time
process information because they're all just emotionalbasket cases. They don't know, like,

(16:33):
they don't know how to process informationlike this that creates an emotion.
So something that you would think isvery positive to them in great news,
it hits them in a way thatthey don't know how to express their their
feelings on it. It could bea big a feeling of elation and a
lot of kids will respond, whichyou would see see is negative on the

(16:56):
surface, but it's just them tryingto react in the best way that they
know how and after some time they'llthey'll simmer down and you'll get a more
authentic expression of what their emotions are. That's only a couple seconds long.
This is his reaction after hearing theaudio for the first time, like it,
I don't like that that he's jumpingup and down going when we were

(17:22):
playing the audio, He's like,I don't like it. Turn it off.
I don't like it. Could doyou think he could hear it?
Oh? He heard everything, andit was when he heard his name and
he realized, hang on. Soa TV show that I watched, which
is an animated car or a towtruck. My dad was on the phone

(17:45):
with this truck earlier, and heknows me and wants to be my best
friend. Hang on, so allof this is just swirling around in his
little prefrontal cortex is not developed enoughto manage this, okay, so kind
of let it play out. Andthen he uh, he's upset. And

(18:06):
then about probably a minute and ahalf later, he starts figuring it out.
He's like, then he wants tohear it. He wants to hear
it again. Okay, so Iplay it for him again real quick,
and this right, Mikey, I'lllet you watch this. So look at
him. Oh my appear in thedoor, and you and me we'll do

(18:33):
from backward all right, damn,madam, don't forget you and me?
We friends later. What So,So he's listening, Yeah, but he's
kind of like walking backwards and nowhe's like registering maybe and then he kind
of leans against a wall and rubshimself against the wall. It just kind

(18:56):
of like what is happening? Sohe's being owned back by the audience.
Yeah, he's freaking out, buthe's not he's not negative about it.
He's kind of like, Okay,let me hear this again and really assess
what's going on. This is hisreaction once he heard the audio. You'll
hear a couple of female voices.It's his mom and his grandma, and
here we go, ma'am. Yeah, I think he's made the offer.

(19:22):
It's kind of awesome. He says, I want to go to daddy's house
and be best friends with Mater.Okay, he lives with you. He's
thinking that he's at your yes,that house. Well, we talked on
the phone and he left in thismessage. He thinks that Mater is now

(19:45):
somehow real and he wants to goto my house and hang out with his
new best friend, Mater. Thisgoes on, Okay, well, let's
go to Daddy's house and be bestfriends with Mater. Ready to go pay
me? I think talk kill you. You want to talk to you?

(20:11):
He said, he gave you amessage. You send your name two times.
That's Grandma two times. You're solucky. He's still trying to figure
this out. Okay, and thenI'll play it one more clout it.

(20:33):
He's not mad, he's happy.So this is the cutest one. This
is the last thing I've got.So this is once he's kind of processed
and listened to the audio again,be so cool you want to be best
friends with? Explain that? Okay, that's so cool, I would be

(21:00):
you want to be friends with,Well, we'll go, we'll go get
the major truck at the house,and then we can play with Mater and
then you can be his best friend. But I don't want. I don't
want little Mad. He will thereal Mad at his house so they can
freaking be best friends. I lovewhat you're trying to maneuver, providing what

(21:23):

(21:48):
okay, Well, when you guysmeet one day, you guys could be
best friends. Right. No,that's not working for me today, dude,

to book Owen Wilson now too,he's gonna have to meet Larry Cable,
the guy. Yes, Oh mygod. It was the cutest thing in
the world, dude, watching himhis little brain filter all of this information
and and he deduced that it wastime for him to go to my house
so he can hang out with Mater. We got to get to your house.

(22:33):
He's there. I did. Infact, it so sweet processing of
what's happening and him like I don'tlike it. And then wait, wait,
wait, wait, hold on,he said, Malcolm, that's mad

you know, we're talking about it, and he did finally grasp it,
Mad, like you know how yourbrother lives in Nashville. Materer lives in

(23:19):
Radiator Springs, which is probably closeto Nashville, maybe a little further east,
but uh, you know, hedoesn't live here, but we talked
on the phone, like when youtalked to Josha on the phone. So
he was kind of like, okay, okay, so he's called me on
the phone. Daddy recorded it,but he's not actually here. But he
did check the house when he gothome, like uh no, no,
