00:01Pass the aux cord and crank up the volume.
00:05Figgy Figg's in the driver's seat.
00:07Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
00:10It's time for Figgy's Mixtape on Sports Radio 610.
00:15Yes, it is the Mixtape in the Loop Sports Radio 610.
00:18It's your man, Figgy Figg, holding it down on a Monday.
00:21Happy Monday to everyone out there.
00:24So I ran across this story about a Canadian woman by the name of Emily Nash.
00:30And she is currently, I want to say, the latest and youngest person to be identified with a rare disorder.
00:38So I'm going to go to 60 Minutes with the story.
00:41Not 60 Minutes.
00:43This ain't even local news.
00:44Now we're getting serious.
00:45Yeah, this is national, man.
00:48So I kind of want to get your thoughts on this disorder she has.
00:52On the outskirts of Ottawa, this humble student has just recently learned she belongs to a very unique club.
01:00She has highly superior autobiographical memory, known as HSAM, a condition that affects fewer than 100 people in the world.
01:11They share a confounding and rare gift, able to recall exact dates and minuscule details of history and almost every
01:20day of their lives.
01:22Just ask Emily a pop culture question to get a sense of what she can do.
01:27Can you tell me who died on January the 22nd, 2008?
01:33Oh, Heath Ledger.
01:35Yeah.
01:36How old was he when he died?
01:3828, turning 29.
01:40Who was born on the 5th of September, 1946?
01:45Franny Mercury.
01:46He actually has the same birthday as me.
01:48Well, you're not going to forget that one.
01:49Can you name the hosts of the SNL season 47 from 2022 and 2021?
01:58Oh, yes.
01:59Like, all of them?
02:00Well, what about the first three?
02:03The first three.
02:04Owen Wilson hosted on October 2nd, 2021.
02:08Kim Kardashian hosted the following week.
02:11I'll see as a musical guest.
02:12And then Rami Malek hosted the following week on October 16th.
02:17Yikes.
02:17He said yikes.
02:21Yikes.
02:22So she says this is, like, autobiographical.
02:24So I'm guessing the connection there is she's thinking back to her experience on that day when she...
02:31Because she's not just like, I have all this information and I can just sort it.
02:35Well, she got Freddie Mercury's birthday just like that.
02:381947.
02:39Mm-hmm.
02:41Yeah.
02:41Is this a...
02:42I'm sitting here trying to think how this is a bad thing.
02:45And I'm glad you said that.
02:47Yeah.
02:48I think this could potentially be a bad thing because I went straight...
02:51She'd win a lot of bets.
02:52Hey, I went straight to the comment section after I watched this video.
02:56Yeah.
02:56The first thing I seen was, God bless her future husband.
03:01Oh, yeah.
03:01You ain't winning none of this.
03:03Oh, yeah.
03:04Nos, you said this.
03:05No.
03:06On October 3rd.
03:07You said it at 3 p.m.
03:09It was 3.07 p.m.
03:11When you said this.
03:12Somebody else said, I need her when I'm arguing.
03:15Yeah.
03:16I agree with that.
03:17Somebody else said, when you...
03:18What do you call when you had the total opposite of this gift?
03:22Because I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.
03:25Yeah.
03:25I still think, like, you know, ultimately, like, if you're married to her, you don't even
03:30try anymore.
03:31Right?
03:31You're like, well, of course, she's right.
03:32I think I might get irritated she don't know.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Oh, you don't know that, huh?
03:37Yeah.
03:38It's our anniversary.
03:39Miss Know-It-All?
03:40Yeah.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Tell me what happened.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Somebody else said, my wife has the same skill she uses in every argument.
03:48That's right.
03:48Yeah.
03:49That's right.
03:49She's just not right.
03:50She's just...
03:50Yeah.
03:51Somebody else said, I'll walk into the kitchen and forget why.
03:54Mm-hmm.
03:54Well, that happens all the time.
03:56Far too often.
03:57But again, I think...
03:58I mean, less than 100 people in the world.
04:01I've never heard of this before.
04:03Yes.
04:03At first, I was kind of looking at it like, man, like, how real is this?
04:07Because that could be somebody that just know everything.
04:10Like, just know everything.
04:12I wish I could get her on the phone just to kind of just throw up random stuff.
04:18And it's different than a photographic memory.
04:20A lot of people have that.
04:22It's the actual just details.
04:23Just the small detail of things like that.
04:27And being able to place the date of it.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Somebody said that they kind of have this.
04:32Said they remember that their anniversary is two days later.
04:37They play the Giants two days later and lost in 2014.
04:41So, like, they use devices like that to remember.
04:44I wonder if that's the way that this is happening or it's just flat out.
04:48You tell her something.
04:49She's like, I know this date, you know, completely devoid of the days that it's attached to.
04:54Yeah, because I'm even thinking just all the stuff that happened during my lifetime.
04:58If you was to ask me, oh, when did O.J. Simpson pass away?
05:05I have no idea.
05:06Being a sports fan, would this be good or bad?
05:09Because you would kill in trivia.
05:10But also, you know those moments where you're like, I like to forget that.
05:14No, you won't.
05:15That's all them terrible games that come through inevitably in any sports fan's lives.
05:19They're sticking with you.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22I thought that was interesting.
05:23I would like to know more about this, I guess, condition.
05:28Me too, because, again, there are a lot of people who can remember things with the photographic memory
05:32because they were exposed to them at some point.
05:34But this seems like even a little different.
05:36Just small details.
05:38Yeah.
05:41This is Mixtape in the Loop Sports Radio 610.
05:44So, we got a new milkshake flavor.
05:47And this is coming from the Great Wolf Lodge.
05:49Have you all been to the Great Wolf Lodge?
05:50Oh, yeah.
05:50We went in Minnesota at the Super Bowl.
05:52We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge.
05:53Oh, really?
05:54Oh, yeah.
05:54That's right.
05:54That's right.
05:55I remember the Great Wolf Lodge when it was the Great Bear Lodge at one point.
05:58Really?
05:59That's what it's called?
06:00Yeah.
06:00That's what it used to be called.
06:01The one in Sandusky, Ohio used to be Great Bear Lodge.
06:04And then I don't know why they changed it to the Great Wolf Lodge.
06:06Maybe that sounds a little cooler.
06:09But they actually released a new flavor of a milkshake.
06:12I want to see if you're all down with this one.
06:13I can already tell the answers now.
06:15Why?
06:15So, it is a ranch-flavored milkshake.
06:19What'd I say?
06:20They're coming out with this in spring.
06:22And it's not just ranch.
06:24It is topped with carrots, celery, whipped cream, and crispy chicken, plus a lime salt rim.
06:31Oh, they basically tried to do a savory shake.
06:34No, thank you.
06:36Yeah.
06:36So, what are the ingredients again?
06:38Yeah.
06:38Ranch dressing.
06:39Yeah.
06:39Ranch flavor.
06:41Bro, yeah.
06:42Milkshake with carrots, celery, whipped cream, and crispy chicken with a lime salt rim.
06:48Why can't I just have some fried chicken in that moment?
06:50You know what I mean?
06:51See, I thought the same thing because I thought they was going for maybe like a wrap or something
06:55like that, especially with the crispy chicken in it.
06:58Yeah.
06:58But the ice cream is actually vanilla flavored with it, too.
07:02Man.
07:02So, you still got the vanilla flavored with it.
07:06People just, people, companies just keep doing this.
07:09If you're interested in it, it's $3.10 a piece.
07:15They're giving them away.
07:15Yeah.
07:16So, I think this starts this Thursday through the 20th.
07:21But you have to be staying at the Great Wolf Lodge?
07:23I guess not.
07:24I'm sure they'll let you walk in just for that one.
07:27Yeah.
07:28I don't know why I say that like I'm going to go.
07:30You know me.
07:30I will never.
07:31Yeah.
07:31I was about to say, let me know.
07:32Let me know how it is.
07:33I'm going to have to pass on that one, man.
07:34Yeah.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Same here.
07:35I'm going to have to pass on that.
07:36Yeah.
07:39It's Midstaping the Loop Sports Radio 610.
07:42It's that time of the month.
07:43It's the first of the month, pretty much.
07:45Oh, yeah.
07:45Yeah.
07:45Let me go ahead and pay this rent.
07:46Yeah.
07:47It's a couple things.
07:47I'm going to go through a couple things to look forward to in March.
07:52So, Daylight Savings Time starts this Sunday.
07:55Right?
07:55Yeah.
07:55This Sunday, March 8th.
07:57So, we're going to lose an hour of sleep.
07:59Mm-hmm.
08:00Which, that always kills me, man.
08:02Yeah.
08:02I feel like I never get enough sleep.
08:04Mm-hmm.
08:06And this, I guess this March on the 20th is the first day of spring.
08:12All right.
08:12So, spring is right around the corner.
08:13What does that mean to us in Texas?
08:15No kidding.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Yeah.
08:17It's 85 degrees outside.
08:18What does that mean to me?
08:19Other things to look forward to in March, the Paralympics.
08:23Have y'all heard of the Paralympics?
08:25Well, yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:25I've never heard that term.
08:28I always see it, but I've never heard the Paralympics.
08:30Yeah.
08:31That starts this Friday.
08:32Yep.
08:33Yeah.
08:33And they run through the 6th.
08:35Or they run from the 6th through the 15th.
08:38Okay.
08:38And I think the wheelchair curling starts a couple days early on Wednesday.
08:44Okay.
08:44So, that's something to be looking forward to.
08:46Don't worry.
08:46It'll be on one of them TV.
08:47Yeah, it will.
08:48Y'all going to be tuned in?
08:49Yeah, I'm going to share some of it.
08:50Y'all going to give us a segment on it?
08:51Sled hockey is fun.
08:53Okay.
08:53Have you ever watched a little sled hockey?
08:55I think I have.
08:56Yeah.
08:56Sled hockey is fun.
08:57Have to put that on the rundown then for y'all to break it down.
09:00These people will riot.
09:01Yeah.
09:02They ain't going to riot about this one.
09:04March Madness.
09:05Yes, sir.
09:05It seems like it popped up quick.
09:07It is here.
09:07I ain't even tapping into college basketball like I wanted to.
09:10With all the time we haven't talked about it?
09:12No, we talk about it, but in my mind, I'm like, okay, it's still early.
09:15It's still down the road.
09:16It's March Madness now.
09:17Man, it's March.
09:18What do you mean?
09:18It's March.
09:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:20So, they get started on the 15th, which is, well, I think Selection Sunday is on the 15th.
09:26And then the tournament, the men's tournament.
09:28The conference tournament starts next week.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Conference tournament starts next week.
09:32Yeah.
09:33Have you seen the Sunbelts conference tournament?
09:35What about it?
09:35It's a gauntlet.
09:36Like, what do you mean?
09:37I think they have, like, 16 teams.
09:40And the, I think, depending on, I think the number one and two seeds have a quintuple buy.
09:48The three and four seeds have a quadruple buy.
09:50The five and six seeds have a triple buy.
09:52You know what I mean?
09:53Like, you have to win.
09:55The teams that are at the very lowest have to win, I think, like, six or seven straight games.
10:00That's fair, though.
10:01To win the championship.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Other things that's happening in March.
10:06Baseball.
10:07Baseball is happening in March.
10:09What do you mean?
10:09I've been watching baseball.
10:10Yeah, I was watching it a little bit, too.
10:12The regular season starts.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:14And it's funny because it's on the TV in here.
10:18I saw Fran Brevalde is going out there in orange.
10:20Yeah.
10:20I thought it was an old game.
10:22I'm like, why are they playing an old-ass Astros game right now?
10:26You play for the Detroit Tigers.
10:28But baseball starts, I want to say, on the 25th, technically.
10:35Oh, are they going to have another one of those games in Japan or something?
10:37Yes, absolutely.
10:38The Yankees and the Giants kicks things off on Netflix.
10:42And nobody's going to watch.
10:44On Netflix?
10:45Well, it's on Netflix.
10:46Because your body clock is going to be off.
10:48I don't know if it's going to be over.
10:49You're going to think it's a spring training game.
10:50I don't know if it's going to be over there.
10:51But that game is the Yankees and the Giants.
10:54It'll be on Netflix on the 25th.
10:56And the other teams get started on the 26th.
10:59Other things to look forward to in March.
11:02National Pancake Day is tomorrow.
11:04Are we getting pancakes from somewhere?
11:06I'm a big fan.
11:07I'm a big fan.
11:08Okay.
11:09Maybe that's going to be a pancakes breakfast for dinner kind of thing.
11:12Yeah.
11:13It's tomorrow's a big day, man.
11:14Yeah.
11:14Because, I mean, we got, not to a little programming note,
11:17Bun B coming through tomorrow.
11:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:19I wonder if he's going to do something for Pancake Day.
11:21Or he's just going to bring some Trill Burgers through.
11:23Pancake Burger?
11:24Yeah.
11:25Hey, that might be all right.
11:26That sounds pretty good.
11:27Yeah, that might actually be all right.
11:29Yeah.
11:30National Cereal Day is on the 7th.
11:32Oh, well, you know I'm going to be celebrating that.
11:34Yeah.
11:35In your truck.
11:35Look, we get, I know, we get breakfast all together.
11:38Pie Day is on the 14th.
11:40Of course.
11:41Of course.
11:413.1, what?
11:44You couldn't get, you couldn't get 3.4.1?
11:46Okay, I was about to say, you got to at least get.
11:48I was playing around.
11:49Yeah, I was playing.
11:50Yeah, National Puppy Day is on the 23rd.
11:52And the 27th, Lopez, National Viagra Day.
11:56All right.
11:57I don't know why I just called you out for it.
11:58I just said, Lopez, National Viagra Day.
12:00Entertainment purposes only.
12:06How long should I do this?
12:08All right.
12:08All right, all right.
12:09Okay.
12:10I'll get y'all out of here on this.
12:11Just want to give a shout out to everybody who was at the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo World's
12:17cook-off championship.
12:19Or championship cook-off.
12:21Yeah.
12:21And me and Reggie, we was making the rounds on Saturday, the last day of it.
12:26And just want to give a shout out to all the tents we went to, courtesy of John Lopez.
12:31Hey.
12:31Who picked this up.
12:32Yeah, we went over to the War Pigs barbecue tent.
12:35We talked to Caleb and Dennis.
12:38Mm-hmm.
12:38Then we went over to the Yacht Club tent with Tyler and Reed.
12:42Mm-hmm.
12:42We went over to Big Bertha's.
12:44We talked to our guy, Hector, which I need to link up with.
12:47Talk to him.
12:47Yeah.
12:48We need to link up with Hector.
12:49He was telling us about some crawfish.
12:52Okay.
12:52Oh, I'll be there soon.
12:53Okay.
12:53Yeah, yeah.
12:53I'm like, oh, okay.
12:55Yeah, I had to write his name down.
12:57I'm like, all right, Hector.
13:00Salute to Hector.
13:01And then last but not least, shout out to our guy, Doug, over at the Wild Game crew as we
13:06got to hang out with him as he released his brisket.
13:09Yeah.
13:10And we got a chance to try it.
13:12Doug had a weekend.
13:14Yeah.
13:14I mean, he was that close to.
13:16Yeah, he hit me up.
13:17He said he plays 11th.
13:1911th overall, which means, and for those who don't know, you have 700 and something teams out there.
13:24When you're 11th overall, that's basically like one judge moving, you know, like it's basically decimal points.
13:31It kept you away from winning the whole damn thing.
13:34Yeah, he says brisket got 11th place.
13:36And Chicken was a finalist as well.
13:38Like, he was way up there.
13:40Yeah, man.
13:41Salute to everybody that was in the contest or just going around, man.
13:44It was cool being around cook-off.
13:46It felt like it happened so fast, too, man.
13:48Yeah, man.
13:49Because I'm like, damn, it's already over.
13:50But rodeo season is today.
13:54And the first night starts tonight.
13:56Yeah, absolutely.
13:56Now, Lopez, we're just going to say this right now, a year out.
14:00Saturday cook-off next year, we good, right?
14:03All three of us.
14:04Oh, you're going to have to drag me away from that place.
14:07You ain't got no more grandkids that are going to go fishing, huh?
14:09Oh, I got one more.
14:10Okay.
14:10All right.
14:11Two more.
14:11I need to put this out here.
14:13If y'all got a tent for next year, man, hit us up.
14:15Oh, yeah.
14:16We'll come through.
14:16You want to make this a whole tour all Saturday?
14:19Yeah, let's do it.
14:20But was I wrong?
14:20It's a blast on Saturday.
14:23It's a lot of fun, man.
14:24That's probably the best time I ever had going to cook-off.
14:28Yeah.
14:28All right.
14:28There you go.
14:29A little mixtape heat action here in the Loop on Sports Radio, 610, 120 p.m.
