And for like a millisecond, itwas like we could serve dolphin like
little pieces of dolphin obviously that's illegaland insane, but it reminded me.

(01:04):
I just went to a restaurant inBishop Arts with Christina and this is an
Australian themed You went to that place, the Kangaroo Place. Oh you've heard
of this, yes, what tellsit? Ela? Like? I sla
Ela something really good, very cool. I didn't know it was open yet,
but I did the story months agowhen they were talking about really yeah,

(01:26):
and they serve kangaroo for real.Yes, it's a lot like steak.
It's just a little more gamy.That's it. Why not just eat
steak because that's always been my thing. It's like, here, try this
rats butthole. Oh it's just tasteslike chicken. You know what. I
think. I'm just gonna have chicken. Thanks, you have a kangaroo's.
I would try it, and wedidn't because Christina was like, nah,

(01:49):
she whipped out hard on you allwent to out back. Now we just
split a burger. Oh we weren'tthat hungry. You didn't have a kanga
burger. I don't think they hadthat. It's like kangaroo pieces, like
marinated ass of the Kuca Borough burger. But why pass you might love it.
You had to import it from Australia. It takes like a day and
a half to fly there. Anyway, you're gonna bring it over. I

(02:14):
don't know old kanga meat, no, I wonder if it's do Is it
from Australia? I mean they're kangaroosand other places, aren't there? Where
are they breeding? Are their kangarooskangaroo farms in America for food production?
I hope not where not Australia.Are there wild kangaroos. I don't think
they're anywhere? Maybe anywhere New Zealand. Yeah, I bet New Zealand their

(02:37):
neighbors New Zealand smaller though, Yeah, probably just out there in the country.
Guam, Probably not Guam, nowyou know that? Did y'all do
the story? This is again thisis months ago. It's before the switch
happened. But there was a localperson. This is a Dallas or maybe
Amazon Kaufman County, something like that. This lady had a kangaroo and it

(02:59):
went missing, and we had heron because she finally found it, but
we had her on just to belike, hey, what's the deal with
you owning a kangaroo? Like it'sjust huge? Missing? Does they ever
find it. They found it,really, they didn't find it on Mikey
and Christina's plate over the weekend.Uh. The only two countries where kangaroos

(03:24):
are found naturally Australia and Papa NewGuinea. That makes sense, Papa New
Guinea. Huh tight crazy tight,Well there's that best of awards. Oh,

(03:59):

(04:48):
went to spend some time. That'sreally why I went this weekend to kind
of close that deal. Yeah,ye snappers, So thanks for the company
for sending me up there, andI was able to steal that deal.
Before you get to sports, wehave some of our DFW sleuths working together
with Detective Dick here to try tosolve this mysterious body on the golf course

(05:12):
at Tennyson. Please and just alittle info trickling in one guy. On
more than one occasion, I've seena homeless person near the tea box on
hold too. And we also gota nice overhead satellite shot of the Tennyson
Glenn golf course and I did forgethow close the two tea boxes to the
roadway that passes right behind it.I mean you're talking fifty yards maximum right

(05:34):
there. So this could be atump and run from a vehicle as we
ent our way closer to blasting thiscrime before ten am. I'm pretty genius.
If you could find a vacant orsomewhat vacant golf course as a dump
spot, no one would think,but it's one in a million that a

(05:55):
tumped body will land in the relaxto pose that this body was allegedly found
with both hands clasped behind the head. That's not a natural way to die.
No, So we're gonna keep grindingon this and any other information you
guys have out there. You cantext it to two on four eight one,
seven seventy seven one nine seven oneas we fight crime and entertain from

(06:17):
six to ten am. Guys,the textas Rangers are doing it. And
it's so weird. It's been suchan up and down run. They won
last night at eight thirty beat theAngels had a late one, but they
were down one nothing going into thefifth and then a Dulli's garver and I

(06:39):
think him was the other one.Three home runs back to back. We
go back to back to back,Jack's three one. They end up winning
five one. It's looking good becausewe are now six games left. They
got a two and a half gamelead on the Astros in the West.
They're basically four and a half overMS wan I have over the MS,

(07:00):
which you know, I might sealthe deal close. I'm sorry, it's
just four over the MS, butit's looking like one or two more wins
could get you at least in butyou start talking about winning the division.
I mean, we're good, prettyclose here to doing that. Now you

(07:21):
gotta make it through the rest ofthe series. And they don't have a
day off. Houston. I thinkit has one more day off, but
a really really good chance for theRangers. And I think, you know,
because the Cowboys play, And thisis something I've kind of fought with
baseball. If they'd shorten their seasona little bit, they could get it
all done before they lose, Likebaseball's most important games in the playoffs are

(07:44):
played, and the NFL claims threedays of the week and college gets one
day of those, And it's justit's just tough, and I always thought
it would be way more beneficial eitherway. I'll be in too, puper
locked in if this team makes itthe playoffs because baseball is kind of fun
to watch again too, because it'sfaster, or at least it's not a

(08:07):
complete beating. I get it gottento be a beating because it was so
slow. You actually tune in evenif you don't like baseball that much and
be like, oh, yeah,it's happening. Cool, you know.
He little bit emotion on it,and if you want to gamble on it,
that's on you. But man,they're playing really well again, how's
this happening? Are they closing gamesout? Are they scoring a lot of
runs? I haven't gonna keep itup, man, I just I watched

(08:28):
the standings. I don't I can'twatch the games unless I'm illegally streaming them,
so I see the standings and thescores every day. But I mean
the problem for weeks it seemed likewas this team was just blowing leads late
night after night after night, andtheir bats were quiet. And I mean
that's sort of We're gonna go asfar as that takes. As the bullpen

(08:50):
is never gonna be great. Yeah, so if you blow their bums off
with runs, it's life is gonnabe pretty damn easy. It was John
Gray pitch great last night. Iknow he had a little bit of a
wrist thing where they thought about pullinghim, or they did pull him,
but Bocchi was like adamant. They'relike, no, no, no,
he was fine. I think theytook him out, but they were like,

(09:11):
he could have stayed in. He'sfine. This is very precautionary.
We were up, so he pitchedreally well. But essentially it is the
bats that's it. Yeah, andthis thing is kind of going to go
as far as the big bats takeit. I think absolutely will like one
thing about the bats. I meanthis is going to sound super obvious,
generic guy or whatever, but we'retalk about the bullpen. It was so
cool the bullpens able to get itdone. Lately, he'll bullets been able

(09:33):
to get it done in low leveragesituations when it is a four run lead.
Jose luc Orc's butthole was not astight. You know, it ends
up there and he's like, actually, you know, executing pitches and stuff,
do not nervous and the pressure ofit. It all changes in the
playoffs, clearly. I was atthe game Friday night as I tried to
go meet Wan Gonzalez. As Iwent as hevo, yes, what happened.

(09:58):
They did not respect my credentials.I couldn't read them. They were
reading an Italian. Yeah, theydidn't think I was from It was weird.
As I went there and I waslike, I'm from Cheese and Wine.
That was the name of my blog. And they're like, no,
John Books, Like get out ofhere, dude, I know you,

(10:18):
I know you, you're on thefreak. If you little brought that Mike
Si Roy guy in, maybe maybeyou get a snuck him through. I
saw a video of the line tosee Wando, Yeah, and I think
Evan Grant posted it and he said, this is just the tip of the
iceberg that people showed out to seehim later iving crowd or people in the

(10:43):
concourse trying to get autographs from Wangandollas. Dude, it was pretty incredible.
And did you see him, like, dude, it looked good.
He looked great. And I don'tknow why it took twenty years for this
to happen, and why it wasso short notice, or why he declined
to show up for the Hall ofFame induction. I don't know, but

(11:05):
everything's one. He was and hedidn't he yelled back and didn't cry,
but he was. He was feelingit. I mean, you could seem
well up a little bit, youknow, like the fighting off the cry.
So that was it was really cool. They go up eight nothing.
I had a flight Saturday morning.I got the hell out of there eight
nothing. Sure enough. By timeI get home, it's eight five and

(11:26):
the bull bind is just like,oh God, Adulis, I'm sorry,
roll this Chapman is just trying tofight through and then he'll walk a guy
and you're going, God, they'regonna blow it. Got through it.
I don't know what. I don'tknow how they went on Saturday and Sundays.
You know they won, you know, as I was out of town,
and then here we are last night. Another win. Cody Bradford starts

(11:48):
tonight. That's probably not great,but you know it's fun. Baseball playoffs
are freaking amazing, dude, sixstraight wins when they needed a most up
back into the driver's seat and essentiallybeing a great spot. And we're not
we're not done with anything yet.But man, when those other two teams
sort of turn around. I mean, obviously we handed the Mariners three of

(12:11):
those four losses, but they havefour in a row. Both the Astros
Mariners three and seven in their lastten doing US favors. But the Rangers
w six in the street column isso so good when you needed it bad.
And I don't know if it's allBoachy time and we maybe assigned too
much. Yeah, you're like,yeah, that's Bochi Okay, maybe he's

(12:33):
hitting, just hitting they're good off. It's Josh Young back helps a lot.
So the the two deeper and youguys know it war is of course
the it's an advanced based Paul statisticfor those that don't know, and it's
winning above replacements. So whatever thereplacement level player is, how many wins
are you getting above that? Forthese guys Simeon and Seeger combined or one

(12:58):
and two and that stat for middleinfielders. Okay, clearly they're the best
middle infield duo in the last twentyyears in baseball, Like just incredible.
And those are the guys you paidbig money too. And for those that
to work out, like, okay, that hits. You can't hit on
every guy you give a huge contractto. De Graham could be a problem.

(13:20):
But that one working out really nicely. And Seeger hitting and Simi and
hitting at the top the lineup.But Evan Carter, he had two big
home runs in that series gets theMariners one on Friday night and then one
on Sunday. I mean, that'sthat's working. They're considering calling up why
at Langford, who was the numberfour pick in the draft this year,

(13:41):
they're considering calling him up for theplayoffs. There's a lot to be excited
about. Is Seeger in contention forhim VP or does he not have the
at bat now? He got there, but I don't know. I mean,
I think you'll probably still see Otaniget it. Honestly, maybe there's
a couple of players you could takeit from him. It's been an MVP
type of year though, I mean, he's a game changer, and I

(14:05):
don't know, it's just very fun. Otani is the fairly significant favorite,
followed by Jeeze. Is this updatedbecause Seeger's down there pretty far? Really,
this might have been before he,you know, qualified. This is
last updated September twenty second, sojust four days ago. Yeah, he
qualified like a week ago though.Yeah, I mean there's like ten dudes

(14:28):
in front of Seeger. They probablyI mean, look, yeah, he
missed six weeks of the season,so you gotta get it. And that's
nothing like to do what they've done. I mean, everyone deals with injuries.
They didn't lose Scherzer, they didlose de Grom, they did lose
Seeger for six weeks at the firstof the year. They did lose Josh
Young for two months. Like allthe All Stars, the Ridge had five

(14:48):
All Stars, you know at theAll Star Game. Dude, those guys
hadn't all played together until like lastweek since like July when Josh Young got
hurt. So it fought through alot of stuff as well. I think
I found better odds. Otani theincredibly heavy favorite, and Corey Seeker is
second, but he's twenty to one, give or take. Yeah, is

(15:09):
just a lock. It's wild.The Angels have shut down Mike trout Otani
clearly had packed his stuff and Johnlike really bad. And that's the team
you play tonight. So three moreagainst the Angels late night games Friday and
Saturday or late night games too,and then Sunday they play at one thirty.
That's another thing, hey, inthe deciding game of the MLB season

(15:30):
one thirty start us draft me nuts. Yeah, there's that college some college
things. I don't know how muchcollege football you guys caught on Saturday.
I caught a ton of it.Infinity Series car racing Saturday, which was
awesome. First of all, Oregondestroying Colorado. That was Yeah, that
was over before it started. Man, there's a lot to get into there.

(15:54):
I got. I watched that tillit was twenty one nothing, and
I'm like, yep, time topack this one in and not even coasting.
Oregan wanted to send a statement.And each coach is making wrestling promos
and that's what it is now.But did you guys see how Organ came
out. They've got a box setup near the uprights, okay, and

(16:18):
it's a clock and it says primeso primetime and it's a box, and
outcomes the Organ mascot with a baseballbat. Okay, the team's behind him.
He comes out with a baseball bat. The Organ mascot starts smashing this
box that's his prime Time and hegets into it so much that his mascot

(16:41):
head falls off the duck head.His duck head falls off, and then
the guy, the guy's the actualmascot, who's now just shown this huge
fit of violence, okay, takesoff running up the tunnels to not be
seen without his head. He couldn'tget his head out because it fell off,
and he just took off running becausehe didn't want to be seen.

(17:02):
He didn't want to he didn't evenpick up his head. Have to see
this, Oh my god, howdid I miss this? Organ ducks smash
his box? I mean, it'llcome up, don't It'll come up real
quick if you hit it right.Okay, Organ Duck lose his head against
Colorado. Yeah, okay, watchit, Danny here rate this please.

(17:23):
All right, there's a box.Here's the duck. He's got a cowboy
hat on, starts way laying onthis box and the head oh dear,
oh my god, it funny.It didn't take long. He got like
three swings into hitting the clock boxand his head just falls off. He
did just wrong. Yeah, hejust takes off with his bat. So

(17:47):
he was sort of dressed like duckprime right, cowboy hat. Yeah,
all a bit duck. Okay,good bits are good. Good? What
do you think it was a bitthat his head fell off? The Prime
Time claws so ridiculous, so funny. So Organ takes on USC this week.

(18:07):
I mean, the guest list isgoing to be out of control,
probably because it's USC too. Pickup your head, man, And I
know Deon's response was kind of like, you know, they got us today
and if you're gonna get us now, this the worst will ever be.
I thought it was like a reallygood response. Ye. Now there was
a story and this is going tobe more locally here Texas State College.

(18:29):
Danny, you're you're aware of TexasState? Yeah? Sure? Where is
it? San Marcos? Okay?It used to be called something else,
right. I think that's the almamater of one Jake Kemp and one Alexis
Texas. Really Alexis, Texas.Did they go to school at the same
time there? I believe they did, And did they make slippy slippy?

(18:52):
Whoa? Maybe it's schlitterbond. Idon't think together. This is from reporter
Alton McWilliams. He thought he didn'tknow her from what I remember hearing out
there, but he says it isalmost impossible that they did not attend parties
or something that would have happened atthe same time. But no, there's
nothing better than that. I'm afraidI'd be honest. She probably wouldn't have

(19:18):
stood out. No exactly at thatage. Yeah, potent stood out.
But that was before everything get enhancedback there. Yeah, before that was
appreciated. Unless that's real, Ifthat's real, that's real, you know,
think that's real? Could be?What do you think they're butt implants?
Oh there there are rampant but implants. Know, I'm saying for for

(19:41):
Miss Alexis, no for Miss Texas. I think that's all. I think
that's a god given on NAT sothis is a Texas state game they're playing.
Helped her. She begged to chokehim. I don't know if that's
the one he asked for, butthat was the most affordable porn star I
could find on Cammy at the time. Right, you aren't paying them,

(20:02):
Kendra Lust feed now Lisa Anne wastrying to charge out the bucks. That's
his all time favorite. Kendra Lustis in that category, his all time
favorite. Yeah, I mean hewas watching Nayland Palin on the plane one
time we had diverted for the show. Had to divert the plane to Birmingham
show. Yeah land Everyone get readywhat they had to do? It an
emergency landing because Ben was watching NaylanPalin. Yes her, he just won't

(20:26):
stop any of it. I guess, I don't know. Birmingham. It
was on auto. After this wasafter he watched Bad Grandpa, the Jackass
movie, and then it just turnedinto Nayland Palin. Let go. I
will say that this. I knowthat you're joking, but this actually happened.
I was on a flight one timeto spring training with Ryan's and the

(20:48):
Hammer, and for whatever reason,the Hammer bought a Playboy at one of
the news stands at the at theterminal, and in the middle of the
flight, he just is reading itand opens up the center full up on
the flight and I'm sitting behind him, and he says, look at this
from Danny, look at this onelooks behind him. Yes, and the
centerfold is and I'm like Grego andhe's holding the one hand of the centerfold

(21:10):
up to the air event. Yes, so the whole plane behind him can
see Miss September. Look here,Danny. Yeah, wow, yeah,
wow, a naked lady. Whowould have thought on that one? He
bought a playboy, looked at iton an airplane. Just terrible. I
never understood why they sold yank magsat the news stands terminal. Okay,

(21:33):
si was the flight? I mean, you couldn't wait hour and a half,
couldn't wait not back then your urgessudden urges. Okay. So there
Texas States playing Nevada. Colton McWilliamsis a reporter. He says got told
there was a Texas State band memberwho was escorted from the stadium due to
throwing a tried it at the Nevadafootball play Hell he is. The update

(21:56):
to the story is the band membertook Nevadas turnover tried it because now every
time there's a turnover, everyone hasa bit. I love it. The
turnover chain started this And is hethe guy started that? Yeah, he
started the turnover our friend, Yes, that's incredible because it's taken off and
it's great. Everyone's got bits.He went to Penn State and we were

(22:18):
down there hanging with Manny a yearand a half ago, right before he
started the Penn State and we're like, what do you are you? What
do you do? I mean,you started the turnover chain. You started
this wave in college football where everyteam has something. And his answer was,
it's weird because it's Penn State,so we're not going to do anything.
I mean, it's clean, it'slike traditional, you know, so

(22:40):
we don't need a bit like that. But we did drink a lot of
whiskey and think of some very funnyoptions for a God's great, some of
them shocking for a Penn State.But yeah, it's pretty wid that he
started that. Now it's everywhere.Yes, and now a band member grabs
the turnover tried it from Nevada's sidelineand throws it at their players and tried

(23:04):
it. You don't throw a triedit aquaman and uh. Lastly, Oklahoma
beat Cincinnati. Their players after thegame were chugging cans of Skyline chili,
okay, which is you know thechili with the like spaghetti sauces or spaghetti
noodles are in it and like spaghettisauce. It's saetti up there. Yeah,

(23:26):
that's still just chili. Yeah,it's just what it goes on spaghetti,
right, But they tell they didit. So there's the kind of
some college takeaways one week more collegething. And the turnover chain thing is
Colorado I think has the throne.Okay they do. They have the turnover
thrown the Game of Thrones type thing. Yeah, so if you get it,

(23:48):
you go sit on the throne andyou're everyone basks And I did see
video. I mean, what wasthe final score or going to whip them
bad? When I quit and hadtoo like way after the game it ended
too like staff for his like sadlycarrying the throne out of the stadium.
Yeah, like two guys awkwardly,like it was really heavy and it's just
like a sad site. We haveto lug the throne back to the bus

(24:11):
after you just get rolled. Yeah, it's probably a lot of that happens
to these teams. Kind of suck, but every once all to get a
turn, something to get spirits up. Right, there's your sports. They're
a little more stuff on the Cowboysand even the Dolphins who put up seventy
some wild sports stuff. Coming upat eight, maybe we'll give you some
tickets to Queens of the Stone Ageor Fallout Boy as well. Then,
but coming up next we have thescuttle butt. Where are all of our

(24:36):
awards? Who do we compare Mike'sSerroy to what a Mike's Erroy? Michael
Parsons haven't common? Next, nextWay
