You're listening to the downbeat on ninetyseven to one, the freak, the
polarizing sport of golf, oh Man, big player. This morning, a
lot of people fired up for theMasters, some people with the very popular
saying, nobody cares about golf.We're trying to make you guys money out
(00:23):
there. You know we're trying tomake you money. We're trying to help
you out in your prize picks.I did bet this one. How about
the Birdie War Round one Tiger Woodsagainst Phil Nicholson. I love it.
I got on Phil, Yeah,Phil easy, Tiger's not gonna Yes,
I'm been Tiger's not gonna make thecut Land. I don't know these people
who think he's gonna make the cut. I don't think he is. I
(00:43):
hope he does, but I hopehe does too. Yeah. I think
everyone hopes he does, but Idon't think anyone can bet it. But
dude, someone says, when's theWorld Champion Championship of Chess Supreme Athletes?
You high school baseball guy spends twentyyears screaming that golf is not a sport.
Yeah, so stupid the golf peoplelike I get it if it's not
(01:06):
for you, that's great, Butlike I don't know, you can't hit
everything and make everyone happy. Right. We just did Rangers for fifteen minutes.
I mean on game eleven, onGame eleven, so imagine it was
the night before the World Series.That's what it is for golf. And
(01:29):
I don't think we went nuts coveringthe Valero Open. No, we don't
mention it. Can I say somethingnice about you two? But we did
mention it. Actually, we didgo nuts covering the Valero Open. Actually,
if you think about it, Iwill say this, there are few
people in this market that I,in my opinion, that have the capability
(01:53):
the knowledge to be able to talkabout something as well as you guys do
about golf. And no am Ia massive golf fan. No, but
I like any other sport. I'minterested in the big events. You know.
I watched the Daytona five hundred forcrying out loud? What's wrong with
(02:14):
that? Do I know anything aboutNASCAR? No? But if I'm with
people that I trust, that thatare likable dudes, and they're passionate about
it, what's wrong with with justyou know, lending an ear and maybe
you might learn something right and guesswhat we're doing four hours every single day.
You know you're gonna talk about what'sgoing on. Absolutely you are.
(02:37):
And if what's going on aligns withsomething that one of us is passionate about,
yeah, we're gonna we're gonna hitthat. If you know any if
somebody is knowledgeable and passionate about something, I don't care what the topic is,
it, it will it will gathermy interest. Hell yeah, and
golf is that that. I thinkit's one of those things for you guys,
And I think that's really really cool. Look, I get it.
(02:59):
If you want to find out whatyou know, what was really behind Morgan
Wallan throwing a chair off of aNashville bar, I'll get to that at
eight thirty ye stand by, standby and stand down. Basically, Look,
if you're mad and you're just screamingthere that we're talking a little bit
of golf the day before the Masters, I'll just say, if you want
to get down on these harry balls, you can jump right in. It's
(03:20):
a crotch party up in here,and you can do with that what you
will. Friends, I wish youhadn't have said that, you know,
I was trying to be nice andthen you pretty much just blew any equity
that you might have built. You'dbe careful, sir with the word blue.
Yeah, you had a rough morning. It's been difficult. We did
(03:42):
get a text from someone who knowswhen on the course on course report.
My brother in law is a golfgoes a golf pro. His brother was
a golf pro. He went towatch yesterday at the Masters. We got
notes Scottie is very good. Brysonsucks at chipping and he doesn't have friends.
Brooks as you, he has onefriend me. Brooks is using a
(04:03):
new putter and it doesn't look good. Terrell Hatton might be a good dark
horse pick. Speith is looking good, but he stinks and he smells his
boots on the ground. Kepka seemsto be somebody everybody's worked up about.
Understandably, he's I told you wegot the muffin top situation. The other
(04:26):
thing had his first kid. Oh, Kevin's standing up showing what a muffin
top is. So he did theMasters, and we're going about to get
to the scuttle, but we'll getto the news. Everyone calmed down,
we're fine. And he sucked inthe last live event whatever. I don't
think brook Kepa cares about anything otherthan playing in major's I have. I
have no real reason to believe thatbrooks Kepka won't be out or near the
(04:47):
top of the leader board this week. Right. He's brooks Keopka. This
is what he does. But he'sbeen playing poorly and he just had a
kid, and they asked him,why do you play so poorly in Miami.
He's like, honestly, I justwanted to get done and get back
to my kid. And the truthis, sometimes when the kid comes into
the life of a man, theterminator goes away. Joel Damon, Tony
(05:11):
fen Now sometime in Jordan Speeth whenhe had a kid, he is sometimes
you get married, you have akid, things change. This whole one
focus approach. All I care aboutis this. So the truth is we
don't. We've never seen brooks KoepkaRory strutting into a major like he does
with a kid at home that hecares more about than the upcoming major.
(05:32):
It may not apply to majors.If anyone doesn't apply to it's brooks Koepka
in majors. But just keep aneye on let's track Scotty too when his
kid, who's doing twenty days orwhatever? When Scotty's wife, Meredith has
a kid. Let's see how ifhe continues to be the world's best golfer.
I think he probably will probably,but Sam Burns's wife ten days,
(05:54):
same thing. Sam Burns could leavethis thing, and he's like, he
said, the same thing, I'mleaving now. He hasn't worn a green
jack, so he might be like, honey, you're going to do this
one without me? Is she pushesthrough while he pushes through the back nine?
All else you got, Mike,come on Augusta. No, that's
kind of Sergio. You know Idon't hate this week Freaking Pat Reid.
(06:16):
Patrick Reid. He's another dude whoplays incredibly well here. In the last
five years, no one has morebirdies and eagles and Patrick Reid at Augusta
National. You want to talk aboutsomeone that no one wants to see near
the top of a leaderboard for thelive angle or for because of who he
is, Dude, Patrick Reid couldwin this thing. Yeah, if fat
Pat wins is that the one,it's highly interesting, But it's not I
(06:41):
want to see and then I'm onBryson watch too. I like this text.
What did you say? I donot follow or like golf. However,
when y'all start talking about it,I usually listen because it's entertaining.
Y'all make it entertaining, and Iappreciate that. Thank you. That's all
we're looking for. Dude, whatare we doing. We're having fun talking
with friends, talking sports. We'retalking about not a sport, the Masters.
(07:08):
So Bryson got all chunky, hegot ripped, Actually not chunky got
ripped. He just turned in toa big beef cake and then he slimmed
back down. It cast some healthissues and things like that, but he
still hits the ball far it maybe, yeah, yeah, he's still
He's still hits a first pretty muchever anyone. I think there's a couple
(07:29):
of dudes in the in the gamenow with him, but he kills it.
If it is wet and they geta partial round or most of a
round and tomorrow, I think bettingBryson d Chambeau to be leading after round
one, which is a popular bet, is a pretty good one because if
it does just turn into Bomber's Paradiseand it's all wet and that does immediately
help people hit the drives far andhit long approach shots far, which actually
(07:50):
Keopka does really good. Too.Long iron approaches is one of the reasons.
The reason being the ball is justnot going to roll a bunch,
right yeah, yeah, yeah,So if you're a hitter, you're not
gonna get much roll on all this. You gotta just kind of nut it,
and Bryson's gonna do that. Ithink. I don't think he's gonna
win the whole damn thing, buttaking him to be the leader after round
one is kind of a bet.I like. The thought is that there's
(08:11):
just too much He's so scientific,there's just too much nuance, subtlety to
Augusta that it doesn't his the scientist'sbrain doesn't cannot compute. I mean,
the best he's ever finished here istwenty first, and that's when he was
an amateur. Jeez, but Itell you this, I think Bryson Dechabo
is gonna have his best finish everas at a Gusta, which would be
(08:33):
top twenty. Basically guy who's completelylost more color. Yeah, he is
lost, very popular, lost,a guy people are jumping on board with
this week because of his talents.He's a terrible putter, but he hits
the ball so good. Is CameronYoung? Slide that into the back of
(08:54):
your head. Remember it on theother cam. Remember Cameron's who looks a
little bit like a rat. Okay, he does, and he'll tell you
that. I think Liftoor guy haswon the Masters before. No, he
won the British Open. Sorry,he's won the British Open. Yeah,
but he always plays well at Augusta. I think he is the only dude
(09:16):
to shoot for straight in the sixties. He's getting their second pencil thin mustache
card. Smith could win this week. He could. But if you play
like you know, a daily fantasysite, all the live guys are under
price man, you can go Sergiopat Reed, Cam Smith and then top
fill it with Scottie if you want. And I really struggle with that.
(09:37):
I don't know what to do withthat. If you follow at Mike Siroy
on Twitter, he posted up alittle link if you want to compete against
me and him. Yeah, it'sa little action online. There's a link
there. It's just a little funand we're gonna fill that up. We'd
like for you to fill that upif you want to play. You know,
we're just having fun. If youlike to play and gamble in a
state that it's illegal to gamble in, get on in there, all right,
(10:01):
We're having a good time and it'sall legal because it is a strategy
technically. We did even mentioned WalkeeNeeman, who's a livet toor guy who
everyone's jonesing over because he's great.He's great, but I read an article
about him that said he gets theshakes every time he walks. On Augusta,
he pooped his pants a little bit. He has he's never had a
top ten and nineteen major tries JoaquinNeman, and everyone's pretty hot for him
(10:24):
this week. Yeah, I thinkhe's gonna get a little rumbley in his
tumbly and have to go off anduse the porta potty. We're gonna have
a big master's bet at nine o'clock. Oh, and it's sick. It's
sick, with a disgusting payoff thatwe do not want to lose. Everything
about nine o'clock is making me makingme want to run off to the porta
potty. Yeah yeah, pulling Nemannoxious. But right now it's time for
(10:48):
the scuttle butt. I'm knows we'regonna find out what that cop did.
Which one go ahead? Um ingolf this week, but by advanced to
their restoration. Did you see thenews about Min Woolie broke his finger?
He dropped his hand. He droppeda twenty pound dumbbell on his own finger,
(11:11):
like five six days ago, andhe says it doesn't hurt. It's
broken index finger on his right hand, and he says it doesn't hurt.
He's fine. Okay, last one. I was thinking, okay, ox
Botia. He won last week?Right, he won eighteenth hole. He
had to make like a twenty footputt to force a playoff. He makes
the putt, celebrates and with hiscelebration arm dislocates his shoulder and tell me
(11:35):
these aren't athletes. He's They're incredible. And I love the coverage of OSHA's
wife. Oh I didn't he didn'tget it? Yeah, a great American
golfer about the twenty one, Arising star. Yes, all right,
no more golf for another one hourand twelve minutes. I want to know
what really happened to sustain these injuries. This is not Dustin Johnson. I
(11:58):
know what happened. Who was humpingwe didn't mention who it was. Rory
that was alleged to have have beenboning some gal and crashed through a glass
coffee table. Right, No,that was Rory with Caroline Wasna with a
major championship tennis winner. Housinger threwa glass table. You got cut up.
(12:22):
Everything is wrestlings and Dustin and Paulinawere doing it standing up style in
Butler's cabin and fell down the stairs. Yep, that's true. He withdrew
from the Masters. He was thefavorite. Yeah. He says he was
walking downstairs with his socks on.He is the Josh Hamilton of golf,
and they were doing He may havebeen walking down the stairs to find a
(12:43):
sock and maybe maybe all right,no more golf talk for the next hour
and eleven minutes. We can doit, you can't. We can do
He mentioned Ludwig over. Sergeant ThomasFry of the Dallas Police Department, he's
a sorry. He's accused of stealingthree guns from the Dallas Police Department.
(13:03):
Now he is facing three charges fortheft of a firearm, which is a
felony. He turned himself in onMonday to the Mesquite Police. He's been
with the department for twenty two years. For a cop stealing a gun,
is that like normal people stealing officesupplies? He took some pins home?
Where did he steal it from?Like an evidence locker? Or he was
(13:26):
another officer's gun. Was it apolite you know, a department issued weapon.
I'm not sure. He worked indetention services at the time. I'm
not all sure, but you know, I can say they're just be guns
laying around the police department. It'sprobably like a chef stealing an entire tender
loin. Yeah, like you knowyou're not supposed to steal it and work
(13:46):
with it, but you can't takeit. It's like us stealing delicious Celsius
energy drinks right there in the breakroom, lying about drink sell see this.
I thought that was interesting. Heagain twenty two years been there.
He just felt the need to stealthree guns. It's I get it though,
(14:09):
the things in front of you.If you had a stealing habit,
or you just thought you could justtake it, maybe you didn't think much
of it, maybe you didn't knowthat it was a crime. He just
kind of took it. I couldsee you would know. If you're a
cop, you wouldn't know that it'sa crime, but I could see where
you just see something hanging around theoffice and you just took it. What's
(14:30):
the price of a high quality handgun, like a really good one. I
don't a thousand bucks, imagine sevenhundred to fifteen hundred maybe for something decent.
The cops get a high high likehighest quality or yeah, I'm assuming
that they Yeah, they're not they'renot buying. I mean, so any
(14:52):
line, any line of work,if you have a thousand dollars bill sitting
there, that is something that yousee and recognize the value of. Well
did he find out if he soldthese or what was his No, they
didn't and they're still investigating. Buthe turned himself in, so he must
have just knew that he was busted. He probably had someone tip him off
to it. Hey man, youprobably should just go ahead yourself in him,
(15:16):
bring those guns back to words.It's a bad idea. So there's
that. I don't know. Wehave a competitor for Portillos, oh,
the Italian beef sandwiches. You justhave Portillos, the Italian beef sandwich and
I'm still have not gone. Isit hot dogs too? They have hot
dogs too. Yeah, it's theChicago Italian beef place. You get the
big ass pickle on your hot dogand the whatever that greenish relish stuff is
(15:39):
looks great. I mean there's nothingbetter looking than a Chicago hot dog when
it comes to hot dog right withthe neon relish, Yeah what that is?
I don't like all that stuff onmy hot dogs, but I don't
either. I did have I goI want at a high quality hot dog
right now. Yes, I wentto Portillo's and had like right now just
to try it. Like the Italianbe sandwich too. When we watched the
Bear on FX like or Hulu,you go oh with the Italian beef sandwich,
(16:03):
it looks pretty good, right okay? And I didn't love it,
but I an Italian be sandwich isnot something that I would personally seek out
very often. It's probably top threeof my favorite sandwiches, so it's highly
popular. Portillo's. Well, it'sa big story, multiple locations. They
had that one in the colony.It's when I went to Well now,
another Chicago based competitor is making plansto invade DFW. You guys, welcome
(16:27):
to ninety seven to one the foodtwo food companies that did combine a few
years ago. It's called Buona andthe original Rainbow Cone ice cream shop.
You said Bona again, say itagain? Be you Inna, It'll makes
sense in b U O n A. It makes sense in a minute.
(16:47):
So they're coming in twenty twenty five. And this just hit the Sarah Blaskovitch
of nowas Morning has had a bigart. I don't feel like waiting that
long. Yeah, Sarah, We'rejust gonna portillo Is today. Then,
but they both sell or they sellItalian beef sandwiches. And then the Rainbow
Cone ice cream shop has a fiveflavor stack of ice cream. And it's
like under one roof, like ahybrid company, right, And they're gonna
(17:11):
hit Frisco and McKinney first, thenthey're going to open ten to twenty of
them. And basically the executive VPof this company is Joe Buona Volanto.
Oh, Joe Buona Volanto went onsaid, I've been spending a lot of
time in Texas and I can't believehow much people love to eat there.
(17:32):
So this family and it's something youhave to do to, you know,
maintain life. How the bear isthis nineteen eighty one. Okay, they
open up Bona is a Bona.That's what Google pronunciation says. I got
a Bona. In nineteen eighty one, the Buona Volatto family started selling these
(17:53):
Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. Rightnow, Joe the Third and Joe the
Fourth run the Bona in Chicago,just like the Bear, Right, you
keep it going to the family knownfor the Italian beach sandwiches. Forty other
menu items hot dogs, hamburgers.Now they're not trying to pivot to fine
(18:17):
dining though, right like in theBear. No, they're not trying to
do that yet. Now. Theiroriginal rainbow Cone ice cream shop had one
location for like ninety five years,and in twenty twenty one merged with Bona.
All right, so they're now ahybrid franchise. Yep. Look,
I don't like I don't get thesweet tooth very much, but tell me
(18:38):
this sounds good. It's a traditionalrainbow cone that includes five ice cream flavors,
stacked, not scooped, chocolate,strawberry, palmer House, which is
New York vanilla with cherries and walnuts, pistachio, and then orange sherbet.
Yeah, that all sounds amazing.The cone is eight inches high, and
(19:00):
I can tell you, guys,eight inches is absolutely big enough, because
then is Kevin Turner. So whyDFW don't introduce me in that same breath?
Okay, thanks, Joe, Budavlantosaid. In Chicago, there's an
Italian beef stand on every other block. He says, I go to Texas,
(19:22):
I go to Arizona, I goto Florida. There's no competition.
There's not there's really no because hesaw an opportunity and he's trying to branch
out in all these states that don'tmess around with Italian beef sandwich. Then
when I discovered that that thing evenexisted, probably I don't know, ten
fifteen years ago in Chicago, it'slike, oh my god, this is
my favorite sandwich. And go backto Dallas, there's nothing. You had
(19:45):
to either go to Jimmy's, whichis there's this phenomenal by the way on
Bryant Street, and then oh god, what was the place on Henderson Wild
about Harry's. Yeah, they hadmore and it's closed, unfortunately, but
they had They had one too,not quite as good as Jimmy's, But
you know what in a pinch andit was right down the street from my
(20:07):
house when I lived on Lower Greenville. I'd go there on occasion and get
one. But yeah, now thatport I wonder how much of this has
to do with the popularity of thatdamn TV show. I think some that
just the fact that people are evenaware that it's a real sandwich and it's
amazing. Yeah. I bet theysaw Portillo's go there and they said,
oh, well, we can godo that. Everyone comes here. We
almost need well. I don't blaskovic. I know she's property of the speakeasy,
(20:30):
but why there's so many restaurants There'sgot to be over satirization. But
we're already the most restauranted area inAmerica. Order how many it's just kind
of like how many people die tohow many the ratio how many people are
born every year, because it seemslike we every there's a year end list
and you see all the closures ofrestaurants in the previous year, and the
(20:51):
list is huge. So I betit's it's not like we're just stacking restaurants.
I bet there's a little bit ofgrowth, but the ones that we
add are probably being you know,cooled out by the ones that we lose.
What was the one we just hadthat's opening. Oh yeah, that
Midwest something chain, remember, andthey're opening twenty of them Portillo's. No,
no, no, there was anotherone we talked about a couple weeks.
Oh yeah, yeah, yah yeah, yea yeah. What it was
(21:12):
got Almighty Pizza Pizza? Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a chain. It's
a chain. But they're like,we're invading Texas. Yeah, they're coming.
Everyone, come to Texas here anyone minute. You ever in Chicago
been a Wiener Circle? No?I had the twenty dollars shake. I
have not, okay. So Iwent there with Fits and he's like,
you gotta try the shake. I'mlike all right. So we go to
this place called Wiener Circle, middleof the night, it's opening either twenty
(21:33):
four hours whatever. Going there,it's packed, it's like intimidating homers,
yelling, I don't know what's happening. And it was Fits right, and
Fits is like, all right,i'mtna get you to the twenty dollars shake.
So I hear a hot dog andI'm like, yeah, I want
the twenty dollars shake. I'm like, shut up at a shake. I
don't want I don't even want toshake, but yes, a twenty dollars
shake. How much booze is init? And you get up to the
front and there's a large African Americanwoman I've seen this okay, and she's
(21:56):
like, you want twenty dollars shake. I'm like, yeah, like me
twenty bucks. So I gave hertwenty dollars and they hit play on something
and then whoever, whatever rapper itis, it says shake, Shake,
Shake, shake, jake that song, and all the employees, five women,
African Americans, quite large, allpull up their tops, jugs out,
(22:17):
and they all do the shake dancefor a full thirty seconds. I
saw they all sing shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, and it's just tease everywhere

who think he's gonna make the cut. I don't think he is. I
(00:43):
hope he does, but I hopehe does too. Yeah. I think
everyone hopes he does, but Idon't think anyone can bet it. But

I was trying to be nice andthen you pretty much just blew any equity
that you might have built. You'dbe careful, sir with the word blue.
Yeah, you had a rough morning. It's been difficult. We did
(03:42):
get a text from someone who knowswhen on the course on course report.

we're fine. And he sucked inthe last live event whatever. I don't
think brook Kepa cares about anything otherthan playing in major's I have. I
have no real reason to believe thatbrooks Kepka won't be out or near the
(04:47):
top of the leader board this week. Right. He's brooks Keopka. This
is what he does. But he'sbeen playing poorly and he just had a
kid, and they asked him,why do you play so poorly in Miami.
He's like, honestly, I justwanted to get done and get back
to my kid. And the truthis, sometimes when the kid comes into
the life of a man, theterminator goes away. Joel Damon, Tony
(05:11):
fen Now sometime in Jordan Speeth whenhe had a kid, he is sometimes

don't. We've never seen brooks KoepkaRory strutting into a major like he does
with a kid at home that hecares more about than the upcoming major.
(05:32):
It may not apply to majors.If anyone doesn't apply to it's brooks Koepka
in majors. But just keep aneye on let's track Scotty too when his
kid, who's doing twenty days orwhatever? When Scotty's wife, Meredith has
a kid. Let's see how ifhe continues to be the world's best golfer.
I think he probably will probably,but Sam Burns's wife ten days,
(05:54):
same thing. Sam Burns could leavethis thing, and he's like, he
said, the same thing, I'mleaving now. He hasn't worn a green
jack, so he might be like, honey, you're going to do this
one without me? Is she pushesthrough while he pushes through the back nine?
All else you got, Mike,come on Augusta. No, that's
kind of Sergio. You know Idon't hate this week Freaking Pat Reid.
(06:16):
Patrick Reid. He's another dude whoplays incredibly well here. In the last
five years, no one has morebirdies and eagles and Patrick Reid at Augusta
National. You want to talk aboutsomeone that no one wants to see near
the top of a leaderboard for thelive angle or for because of who he
is, Dude, Patrick Reid couldwin this thing. Yeah, if fat
Pat wins is that the one,it's highly interesting, But it's not I
(06:41):
want to see and then I'm onBryson watch too. I like this text.
What did you say? I donot follow or like golf. However,
when y'all start talking about it,I usually listen because it's entertaining.
Y'all make it entertaining, and Iappreciate that. Thank you. That's all
we're looking for. Dude, whatare we doing. We're having fun talking
with friends, talking sports. We'retalking about not a sport, the Masters.
(07:08):
So Bryson got all chunky, hegot ripped, Actually not chunky got
ripped. He just turned in toa big beef cake and then he slimmed
back down. It cast some healthissues and things like that, but he
still hits the ball far it maybe, yeah, yeah, he's still
He's still hits a first pretty muchever anyone. I think there's a couple
(07:29):
of dudes in the in the gamenow with him, but he kills it.
If it is wet and they geta partial round or most of a
round and tomorrow, I think bettingBryson d Chambeau to be leading after round
one, which is a popular bet, is a pretty good one because if
it does just turn into Bomber's Paradiseand it's all wet and that does immediately
help people hit the drives far andhit long approach shots far, which actually
(07:50):
Keopka does really good. Too.Long iron approaches is one of the reasons.
The reason being the ball is justnot going to roll a bunch,
right yeah, yeah, yeah,So if you're a hitter, you're not
gonna get much roll on all this. You gotta just kind of nut it,
and Bryson's gonna do that. Ithink. I don't think he's gonna
win the whole damn thing, buttaking him to be the leader after round
one is kind of a bet.I like. The thought is that there's
(08:11):
just too much He's so scientific,there's just too much nuance, subtlety to
Augusta that it doesn't his the scientist'sbrain doesn't cannot compute. I mean,
the best he's ever finished here istwenty first, and that's when he was
an amateur. Jeez, but Itell you this, I think Bryson Dechabo
is gonna have his best finish everas at a Gusta, which would be
(08:33):
top twenty. Basically guy who's completelylost more color. Yeah, he is
lost, very popular, lost,a guy people are jumping on board with
this week because of his talents.He's a terrible putter, but he hits
the ball so good. Is CameronYoung? Slide that into the back of
(08:54):
your head. Remember it on theother cam. Remember Cameron's who looks a
little bit like a rat. Okay, he does, and he'll tell you
that. I think Liftoor guy haswon the Masters before. No, he
won the British Open. Sorry,he's won the British Open. Yeah,
but he always plays well at Augusta. I think he is the only dude
(09:16):
to shoot for straight in the sixties. He's getting their second pencil thin mustache
card. Smith could win this week. He could. But if you play
like you know, a daily fantasysite, all the live guys are under
price man, you can go Sergiopat Reed, Cam Smith and then top
fill it with Scottie if you want. And I really struggle with that.
(09:37):
I don't know what to do withthat. If you follow at Mike Siroy
on Twitter, he posted up alittle link if you want to compete against
me and him. Yeah, it'sa little action online. There's a link
there. It's just a little funand we're gonna fill that up. We'd
like for you to fill that upif you want to play. You know,
we're just having fun. If youlike to play and gamble in a
state that it's illegal to gamble in, get on in there, all right,
(10:01):
We're having a good time and it'sall legal because it is a strategy
technically. We did even mentioned WalkeeNeeman, who's a livet toor guy who
everyone's jonesing over because he's great.He's great, but I read an article
about him that said he gets theshakes every time he walks. On Augusta,
he pooped his pants a little bit. He has he's never had a
top ten and nineteen major tries JoaquinNeman, and everyone's pretty hot for him
(10:24):
this week. Yeah, I thinkhe's gonna get a little rumbley in his
tumbly and have to go off anduse the porta potty. We're gonna have
a big master's bet at nine o'clock. Oh, and it's sick. It's
sick, with a disgusting payoff thatwe do not want to lose. Everything
about nine o'clock is making me makingme want to run off to the porta
potty. Yeah yeah, pulling Nemannoxious. But right now it's time for
(10:48):
the scuttle butt. I'm knows we'regonna find out what that cop did.
Which one go ahead? Um ingolf this week, but by advanced to
their restoration. Did you see thenews about Min Woolie broke his finger?
He dropped his hand. He droppeda twenty pound dumbbell on his own finger,
(11:11):
like five six days ago, andhe says it doesn't hurt. It's
broken index finger on his right hand, and he says it doesn't hurt.
He's fine. Okay, last one. I was thinking, okay, ox
Botia. He won last week?Right, he won eighteenth hole. He
had to make like a twenty footputt to force a playoff. He makes
the putt, celebrates and with hiscelebration arm dislocates his shoulder and tell me
(11:35):
these aren't athletes. He's They're incredible. And I love the coverage of OSHA's
wife. Oh I didn't he didn'tget it? Yeah, a great American
golfer about the twenty one, Arising star. Yes, all right,
no more golf for another one hourand twelve minutes. I want to know
what really happened to sustain these injuries. This is not Dustin Johnson. I
(11:58):
know what happened. Who was humpingwe didn't mention who it was. Rory
that was alleged to have have beenboning some gal and crashed through a glass
coffee table. Right, No,that was Rory with Caroline Wasna with a
major championship tennis winner. Housinger threwa glass table. You got cut up.
(12:22):
Everything is wrestlings and Dustin and Paulinawere doing it standing up style in
Butler's cabin and fell down the stairs. Yep, that's true. He withdrew
from the Masters. He was thefavorite. Yeah. He says he was
walking downstairs with his socks on.He is the Josh Hamilton of golf,
and they were doing He may havebeen walking down the stairs to find a
(12:43):
sock and maybe maybe all right,no more golf talk for the next hour
and eleven minutes. We can doit, you can't. We can do
He mentioned Ludwig over. Sergeant ThomasFry of the Dallas Police Department, he's
a sorry. He's accused of stealingthree guns from the Dallas Police Department.
(13:03):
Now he is facing three charges fortheft of a firearm, which is a
felony. He turned himself in onMonday to the Mesquite Police. He's been
with the department for twenty two years. For a cop stealing a gun,
is that like normal people stealing officesupplies? He took some pins home?
Where did he steal it from?Like an evidence locker? Or he was
(13:26):
another officer's gun. Was it apolite you know, a department issued weapon.
I'm not sure. He worked indetention services at the time. I'm
not all sure, but you know, I can say they're just be guns
laying around the police department. It'sprobably like a chef stealing an entire tender
loin. Yeah, like you knowyou're not supposed to steal it and work
(13:46):
with it, but you can't takeit. It's like us stealing delicious Celsius
energy drinks right there in the breakroom, lying about drink sell see this.
I thought that was interesting. Heagain twenty two years been there.
He just felt the need to stealthree guns. It's I get it though,
(14:09):
the things in front of you.If you had a stealing habit,
or you just thought you could justtake it, maybe you didn't think much
of it, maybe you didn't knowthat it was a crime. He just
kind of took it. I couldsee you would know. If you're a
cop, you wouldn't know that it'sa crime, but I could see where
you just see something hanging around theoffice and you just took it. What's
(14:30):
the price of a high quality handgun, like a really good one. I
don't a thousand bucks, imagine sevenhundred to fifteen hundred maybe for something decent.
The cops get a high high likehighest quality or yeah, I'm assuming
that they Yeah, they're not they'renot buying. I mean, so any
(14:52):
line, any line of work,if you have a thousand dollars bill sitting
there, that is something that yousee and recognize the value of. Well
did he find out if he soldthese or what was his No, they
didn't and they're still investigating. Buthe turned himself in, so he must
have just knew that he was busted. He probably had someone tip him off
to it. Hey man, youprobably should just go ahead yourself in him,
(15:16):
bring those guns back to words.It's a bad idea. So there's
that. I don't know. Wehave a competitor for Portillos, oh,
the Italian beef sandwiches. You justhave Portillos, the Italian beef sandwich and
I'm still have not gone. Isit hot dogs too? They have hot
dogs too. Yeah, it's theChicago Italian beef place. You get the
big ass pickle on your hot dogand the whatever that greenish relish stuff is
(15:39):
looks great. I mean there's nothingbetter looking than a Chicago hot dog when
it comes to hot dog right withthe neon relish, Yeah what that is?
I don't like all that stuff onmy hot dogs, but I don't
either. I did have I goI want at a high quality hot dog
right now. Yes, I wentto Portillo's and had like right now just
to try it. Like the Italianbe sandwich too. When we watched the
Bear on FX like or Hulu,you go oh with the Italian beef sandwich,
(16:03):
it looks pretty good, right okay? And I didn't love it,
but I an Italian be sandwich isnot something that I would personally seek out
very often. It's probably top threeof my favorite sandwiches, so it's highly
popular. Portillo's. Well, it'sa big story, multiple locations. They
had that one in the colony.It's when I went to Well now,
another Chicago based competitor is making plansto invade DFW. You guys, welcome
(16:27):
to ninety seven to one the foodtwo food companies that did combine a few
years ago. It's called Buona andthe original Rainbow Cone ice cream shop.
You said Bona again, say itagain? Be you Inna, It'll makes
sense in b U O n A. It makes sense in a minute.
(16:47):
So they're coming in twenty twenty five. And this just hit the Sarah Blaskovitch
of nowas Morning has had a bigart. I don't feel like waiting that
long. Yeah, Sarah, We'rejust gonna portillo Is today. Then,
but they both sell or they sellItalian beef sandwiches. And then the Rainbow
Cone ice cream shop has a fiveflavor stack of ice cream. And it's
like under one roof, like ahybrid company, right, And they're gonna
(17:11):
hit Frisco and McKinney first, thenthey're going to open ten to twenty of
them. And basically the executive VPof this company is Joe Buona Volanto.
Oh, Joe Buona Volanto went onsaid, I've been spending a lot of
time in Texas and I can't believehow much people love to eat there.
(17:32):
So this family and it's something youhave to do to, you know,
maintain life. How the bear isthis nineteen eighty one. Okay, they
open up Bona is a Bona.That's what Google pronunciation says. I got
a Bona. In nineteen eighty one, the Buona Volatto family started selling these
(17:53):
Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. Rightnow, Joe the Third and Joe the
Fourth run the Bona in Chicago,just like the Bear, Right, you
keep it going to the family knownfor the Italian beach sandwiches. Forty other
menu items hot dogs, hamburgers.Now they're not trying to pivot to fine
(18:17):
dining though, right like in theBear. No, they're not trying to
do that yet. Now. Theiroriginal rainbow Cone ice cream shop had one
location for like ninety five years,and in twenty twenty one merged with Bona.
All right, so they're now ahybrid franchise. Yep. Look,
I don't like I don't get thesweet tooth very much, but tell me
(18:38):
this sounds good. It's a traditionalrainbow cone that includes five ice cream flavors,
stacked, not scooped, chocolate,strawberry, palmer House, which is
New York vanilla with cherries and walnuts, pistachio, and then orange sherbet.
Yeah, that all sounds amazing.The cone is eight inches high, and
(19:00):
I can tell you, guys,eight inches is absolutely big enough, because
then is Kevin Turner. So whyDFW don't introduce me in that same breath?
Okay, thanks, Joe, Budavlantosaid. In Chicago, there's an
Italian beef stand on every other block. He says, I go to Texas,
(19:22):
I go to Arizona, I goto Florida. There's no competition.
There's not there's really no because hesaw an opportunity and he's trying to branch
out in all these states that don'tmess around with Italian beef sandwich. Then
when I discovered that that thing evenexisted, probably I don't know, ten
fifteen years ago in Chicago, it'slike, oh my god, this is
my favorite sandwich. And go backto Dallas, there's nothing. You had
(19:45):
to either go to Jimmy's, whichis there's this phenomenal by the way on
Bryant Street, and then oh god, what was the place on Henderson Wild
about Harry's. Yeah, they hadmore and it's closed, unfortunately, but
they had They had one too,not quite as good as Jimmy's, But
you know what in a pinch andit was right down the street from my
(20:07):
house when I lived on Lower Greenville. I'd go there on occasion and get
one. But yeah, now thatport I wonder how much of this has
to do with the popularity of thatdamn TV show. I think some that
just the fact that people are evenaware that it's a real sandwich and it's
amazing. Yeah. I bet theysaw Portillo's go there and they said,
oh, well, we can godo that. Everyone comes here. We
almost need well. I don't blaskovic. I know she's property of the speakeasy,
(20:30):
but why there's so many restaurants There'sgot to be over satirization. But
we're already the most restauranted area inAmerica. Order how many it's just kind
of like how many people die tohow many the ratio how many people are
born every year, because it seemslike we every there's a year end list
and you see all the closures ofrestaurants in the previous year, and the
(20:51):
list is huge. So I betit's it's not like we're just stacking restaurants.
I bet there's a little bit ofgrowth, but the ones that we
add are probably being you know,cooled out by the ones that we lose.
What was the one we just hadthat's opening. Oh yeah, that
Midwest something chain, remember, andthey're opening twenty of them Portillo's. No,
no, no, there was anotherone we talked about a couple weeks.
Oh yeah, yeah, yah yeah, yea yeah. What it was
(21:12):
got Almighty Pizza Pizza? Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a chain. It's
a chain. But they're like,we're invading Texas. Yeah, they're coming.
Everyone, come to Texas here anyone minute. You ever in Chicago
been a Wiener Circle? No?I had the twenty dollars shake. I
have not, okay. So Iwent there with Fits and he's like,
you gotta try the shake. I'mlike all right. So we go to
this place called Wiener Circle, middleof the night, it's opening either twenty
(21:33):
four hours whatever. Going there,it's packed, it's like intimidating homers,
yelling, I don't know what's happening. And it was Fits right, and
Fits is like, all right,i'mtna get you to the twenty dollars shake.
So I hear a hot dog andI'm like, yeah, I want
the twenty dollars shake. I'm like, shut up at a shake. I
don't want I don't even want toshake, but yes, a twenty dollars
shake. How much booze is init? And you get up to the
front and there's a large African Americanwoman I've seen this okay, and she's
(21:56):
like, you want twenty dollars shake. I'm like, yeah, like me
twenty bucks. So I gave hertwenty dollars and they hit play on something
and then whoever, whatever rapper itis, it says shake, Shake,
Shake, shake, jake that song, and all the employees, five women,
African Americans, quite large, allpull up their tops, jugs out,
(22:17):
and they all do the shake dancefor a full thirty seconds. I
saw they all sing shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, and it's just tease everywhere
