The following program is brought to you in part by UBC, United Broadcasting Communications.
Live from the syndicate at UNT, it's late night in North Texas with Brandon Beckbar.
Up tonight, a visit by the street team,
Taekwondo with Scott Mischke and band member Nacho.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, your host, a man who was born with no kneecaps,
Brandon Beckbar.
Good evening and welcome to late night at North Texas, season two.
Yeah, that's a good one.
It's a real good one.
We have had a complete makeover changes from last season.
As you can see, the first thing, we moved out of the tiny, cramped, small TV studio
into this spacious elbow room syndicate in the union.
And I'm sure everyone really likes that.
We were all kind of on top of each other and the other one.
We can finally breathe.
We might be on top of each other in this one for the night's over.
We'll see. We'll see how that goes.
We have a fabulous, brand new, amazing late night band.
We will come and introduce them later in the show.
And most of all, we have this big, beautiful backdrop of downtown Dallas
that we are excited about.
We're excited about mainly because all of our supporters and Kickstarter helped buy this.
So this is all the y'alls as much as ours.
And we just want to thank you deep down for being our supporters of late night.
So I'm going to do that for y'all.
And we got a new pope elected.
So that with all support from Kickstarter, we really can just global change.
It really was great.
I know Corley told everyone to turn their phones off,
but I want to tell everybody, feel free to tweet during break,
not during the show, but during break, not during the show, ma'am.
Face lights up on the screen. Let's try not.
During the break, do tweet us at late night NT or hashtag, not NTTV.
You can do hashtag NTTV, but also hashtag L and NT throughout the evening.
We like to see what everybody has to say about tweeting.
And of course, the lovely sidekick, the Beast from the East, Cody Graham, everyone.
I'm actually from Austin, which is actually South.
Cody, you will be tweeting, correct?
Yes, I'm going to be live tweeting just not right now.
Okay, so that's not live tweeting. That's like old tweeting, later tweeting.
It's future tweets.
Check out Cody's later tweets sometime in February next year.
Well, we do have a fabulous show tonight. We're really excited about it.
We have great music we're going to hear throughout the evening.
We're going to have great guests. It's going to be a fun show.
Stick with us here at Late Night at North Texas.
Welcome back to Late Night at North Texas.
Cody, it's time to bring the first guest out tonight for season two.
And it's actually a member of our very own Late Night Street team.
So please put your hands together for Robert Sherman.
We are here season two. Yeah, can't believe it.
Did you all plan that?
I'll just, okay.
We have the same, yeah, you take them off.
Okay.
At a two for one special.
You're up here first.
Well, all right.
So Robert, exciting season so far we have planned.
Robert was the only member of the street team from last season that somehow made his way to season two.
Don't ask what I had to do.
True.
And we had a little bit of change of things from last season. We actually went through an interview process.
Yes.
For the late night street team because we just gathered a bunch of people together last time and that didn't work out so well for us.
No.
Really didn't. A lot of uncontrolled chaos.
Had a very rigorous process this time.
Yes, yes.
But this time we had very, very, well actually let's just, let's take a look at exactly how the street team interview process went.
Please.
Oh, Robert.
Robert.
Robert.
Doing this.
What's up?
Hey, how's it going?
Firm grip.
Likey.
You been working out?
Hi.
I'm Callie.
Callie.
Very nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you as well.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, don't be nervous.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, hello.
My Englishman.
Excuse me.
My Englishman.
Hey, how you doing?
Hey there.
Brian.
Brian.
What's your name?
It's a strong name.
Oh, thank you.
You look good.
Well, tell me what can you bring to late night?
I'm not asking you to trust me.
And that's what makes me better than all the other candidates.
I'm really good at making snacks and like little sandwiches.
Okay.
And I'm really great at making tea so I can, you know, bring nourishment and provide some,
some extra things for people to gain energy.
Is this for the street team position or the catering position?
No, it's for the street team.
Okay.
I just want to keep everyone happy.
I love people.
Like this?
Spanish?
No.
I can't really understand you right now.
Try to speak more English, please.
What can you bring to late night?
Impeccable jaw structure.
My knowledge of German film.
Okay.
Rocketball skills.
Okay.
So you like pop culture.
How do you feel about Cody?
It's Cody.
He's, he's part of the essential members of the team.
Everybody loves Cody.
I love Cody.
Exactly.
Don't you think that's part of the problem?
Um, so, uh, what exactly, um, what are some of your, your talents that, that, you know,
help accentuate?
Um, some of my talents that I can help accentuate is telling people to shut the f*** up!
Uh, I...
Just kidding.
Uh...
In Mexico, cuando pasa esto, podemos demandarte.
I have to look up Google Translate.
Google Translate?
Let's say, why don't you, uh, Google Minority in your job?
If you can speak into the computer...
Why don't you, why don't you do Minority Swing, white people?
What would make you, uh, what talent trait makes you stand above the rest?
My height.
I'm tall.
You need somebody who's gonna be there on the insides, ratting for you.
Let's, let's call it more of a dirty rotten spy.
Okay, dirty rotten spy rat.
Trust issues.
How are we at that?
I pretty much trust everybody.
Why, that could, that, I'll have to make a note of it.
That's good thing.
No, that, that could be bad.
Really?
Don't do that.
So...
I'm just gonna make...
We already kind of have a tall guy, so I don't care.
Is there something else that...
Um, what do you...
Stop.
Please, stop that.
Don't do that.
No.
You don't need to do that.
But as of right now, it looks like you got yourself...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Okay.
A little bit of...
So, let's leave this position and you, you have a chair.
Okay, so...
Let's trust.
Trust and don't trust.
We need a...
So...
Opportunity for people employed.
You got a chair.
Oh, really?
Great.
So happy to be here.
Yeah, your, your, uh, chair row.
I'm coming for you.
Thank you.
More buttons, less buttons.
More than more.
Keep going.
Duck tape.
Stop.
Are you okay?
You have, you have the thing.
You, you got a chair.
I do?
Don't be creepy.
Wait, I have a chair?
Yes.
You, you can do it.
Oh, yes.
Don't ever take clothes off.
Can't wait to tell my mom.
Your mom's here?
Yeah, she's in the lobby.
And, uh, yeah, that was, uh, that was the interview process for the street team.
Yeah, Brandon, uh, do you seem pretty happy with, uh, you know, the team we've got right now?
You know, we, uh, we had four positions to fill.
Yeah.
And four applicants.
So you kind of are made happy with what you, you got that.
That's true.
Well, it was just weird because I could have swore when we were doing that that there
were like 25 people who signed up and then I went and looked at the list and like all
of those other names were scratched out.
I figured people had to go to work or doctor's appointments.
Rob, would you know anything about that?
Um, though, I mean, let's look on the bright side.
We're four for four, right?
That's true.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we're lining.
Okay.
Yeah.
True.
Well, do we have a lot to expect from the street team?
So much to expect.
All right.
And all of these videos will be, they will be seen here on late night and also put on
the intro web on our website, latenightnt.com.
But until then, I guess we just congratulations street team and we will see you, uh, see what
you got.
We're doing it.
Be sure to stick around to see exactly what the street team produces and stay with us
because we have more incredible guests coming up on late night at North Texas.
Welcome back to late night at North Texas.
How about that band?
I'm telling you it's hot.
Woo!
What's up, band?
Now, to find out a little bit more about the band, we have a little Q and A session we
did with them and we're going to take a look about that right now and see just who we have
decided to sign on the late night North Texas record label.
Yeah.
So let's take a look at that.
It's new.
My name is Alex Brown.
I play the bass.
My name is Nacho.
I'm from Spain, Barcelona.
That's in Europe.
Where do we?
My name is Jared Farning.
I play the drums.
My name is Neil Dresendor.
And I'm a saxophone player.
My name is Kenny Davis and I play the trombone.
I started playing when I was about 12 years old.
I got a, it was a bass waiting for me on the Christmas tree and I wasn't really into
much else.
I've been playing piano since I was 12, like 10 years ago.
I started playing when I was 8 years old.
I got a drum set from my uncle.
Went to town on it for a while.
I was about 10 years old and I was watching a whole bunch of concerts.
I'm 11 years old, yeah, 6th grade.
It gives everyone an escape from their crappy lives and I think it's the best.
Music is the best.
Open my soul to the rest of humanity, you know, and share all my feelings and I mean I gotta
stop.
I gotta stop talking about it because I get, I like the fact that I just get to play with
my friends, like all the guys in the band here, all my good buddies.
It's an international language, transcends boundaries of all kinds, it's intelligent.
It's about the only thing I'm real good at and I'm not that good so it's a nice little
struggle throughout my entire life.
I mostly keep them in shape, you know, I tell them what to do, you know, I tell them what
to eat and, you know, I watch them sleep sometimes.
I wanted to give them the opportunity to integrate in society, you know, like be kind of normal
for a while because living in the jungle, you know.
They all decided it before I was there, just because it's my group so we can communicate
very well.
They don't even really have to listen to me to actually know what it is that I want.
Definitely, I would have to say myself, yeah.
I just, in social situations and professional situations even, I just emerge as a, you know,
a natural born leader.
They told me it was me, Alex Brown, the Alex Brown group.
I personally like Alex and the Brown Nets.
Natural and the random guys, I don't know, I have to decide.
I'm pretty sure we all decided on Barney and Friends.
Well, Nimble, Thumbs, Meals and The Down Under Lovin'.
We talked about it for a long time but I had to make the final call, obviously, because, you know, I'm running the show.
And we, I decided Captain Crunch and the Serial Killers.
I thought it had a lot of zip.
And right now we are gathered here with Nacho, the leader of the fans.
Yeah, I mean, first of all, guys, I mean, I really want to thank you for coming to my show.
He had been playing that a while, that was unexpected.
It did. Yeah, I'm the leader of the, I would say of the band.
Yeah, but I mean, I'll stop this now.
I put these guys together to play some music here and I'm glad to be here.
Now, do we have a name for the band yet or are we just going with Late Night Band?
They decided, I mean, I wasn't like really into it, but they decided we're going to be Nacho and the Wack-A-Moles.
Nacho and the Wack-A-Moles.
Yeah, because I said that I wanted to be Nacho and the Wack-A-Moles, but they didn't understand.
I got you.
It's got a lot of flavor to it.
So how did this band come together? Did a meteor fall from Earth and just collect everyone?
Yeah, I mean, we were in a bar.
It's always a good way to start.
Yeah, and that's pretty much it.
We're in a bar.
We're just waiting there with the beard.
Hey, there's enough of us here.
Very nice.
So you've been associating with the Late Night crew for a while.
What do you think of what you've got yourself into so far?
Well, everybody's like really, really kind to us so far.
And I know we're glad to be here, right, guys?
Yeah.
By the way, we have two Canadians here and an Australian myself.
So it's like a pre-international crew.
I mean, also like a couple of Americans.
You made a face when you did it.
Just do it.
Well, that's all right. Well, we have a melting pot of a Late Night band.
So, you know, you got to love that.
Well, we look forward to more amazing music because so far I've loved it.
I love the jazz and I'm enjoying it.
Are you guys enjoying it?
All right, Nacho, well, your piano awaits.
So I appreciate you coming out.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Thank you, everybody.
Cody, you can sit here.
Now, I've been, we've talked earlier this week, Cody and I,
he's had a problem with getting bullied and little worried about self-defense.
So we have somebody here to help you out from the Flower Mound Taekwondo.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, fourth-degree black belt.
You know, I AMA is not that, not that.
No, I know.
That's not what I am.
He's going to come help you out.
So please put your hands together, everyone, real loud.
Let's welcome Scott Mischke.
Thanks, Scott.
All right.
So tell us a fourth degree.
That's a lot.
I know if you had four degrees in school, that's a whole bunch.
So tell us exactly what a fourth-degree black belt is.
Well, a fourth-degree black belt is, well, first of all,
I've been doing it for 11 years, about half my life.
Okay.
So it takes a while to get there.
It does take a while, yes.
All right.
And it's just rigorous testings and training and all that.
And it's fun, though, but it's hard work.
So when did you get your first black belt, I guess, or degree?
Well, I can't remember that far back.
Oh, wow.
When I was, I want to say 13.
Oh, wow.
I got my first degree.
So there's 13-year-olds out there now that could just be crap of all of us.
I mean, I trained some of them.
Awesome.
So we know who to thank when they asked for milk money, actually give it to them.
All right.
All right.
Sorry about that.
So are we going to show some self-defense moves for Cody here so he doesn't get it?
It just breaks my heart to hear people getting bullied.
All right.
We have an entire floor here to, I guess, test out our Taekwondo skills.
I will let you know I am made of half glass.
So anything, I will be out the rest of the season.
That's too rough.
I don't want to take out, you know, the main star of the show.
I'm sorry, Nacho.
No, no.
He understands.
All right.
Well, let's get up here.
Let's give us some room.
So give us a scenario when we might need Cody to defend himself.
Well, let's be honest, unless you've been doing it for forever like I have, the complicated,
complex stuff is not going to work.
Yeah.
All right.
Good.
That makes me feel better.
Yeah.
First rule is there's no dirty self-defense.
So everything, eyes, throat, groin, it's all open.
It's all fair game.
I'm just doing like milk money.
Oh, milk money?
Oh, okay.
We're not going for that stuff.
I'm not trying to murder him.
Let's get that right.
Let's not do that.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's say I'm coming at him and I'm a thug.
This is like every Tuesday.
Yes.
And I do one of these slap maneuvers.
How would you go about that?
I suppose the slap maneuver, I'm not...
It's forceful.
It's forceful slap.
I feel the bruises.
All right.
So if you're going to defend against a slap, you just want to parry it.
Do something we call an outer form block.
Like that.
Okay.
All right.
Oh.
Oh, what?
All right.
Like that?
Yes, but forcefully.
Not for real.
You got to like practice before you do it for real.
He's got to catch this.
It's got to be stronger than the slap.
So.
Okay.
A little bit harder.
There you go.
Now, do I need to do like a sound too?
If he goes at me, like come at me, Brandon.
Now, do I need to do a sound like...
Yeah!
Like that.
Do I need to do that?
Does that mean better?
I mean, the crazier they think you are, the better it is.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
So if you want to just get like...
Okay.
It might be good.
Okay.
If I saw a 13-year-old do that, I would just hand my wallet over.
Okay.
I want your milk money.
Yeah.
Is this just a voice acting class?
That's all you have to do.
That is.
I just run at you and run the other way.
This is Bruce Lee 101.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's easy enough.
I know.
Two moves now.
So...
All right.
So then after you do that, you're going to want to do something.
With beginners, punching isn't so great because...
I can do punching though.
No.
I can...
Can we get punching right now?
I don't want to break your hand or anything.
So it might be better...
Now the taekwondo slap.
How about we wrap up with a taekwondo slap?
A taekwondo slap?
There's no taekwondo slap.
There's no slapping in taekwondo.
Okay.
Just tell him what he's going to do.
All right.
Let's not hit him in the face because, you know, you don't want to damage the moneymaker.
So you're just going to do a palm heel towards his nose, but stop.
Don't break his nose now.
Okay.
Do it from there.
All right.
Oh, blood.
There you go.
He's out.
I win.
Well, Scott, I appreciate it.
We all feel a little bit safer in the world now.
Good.
Ladies and gentlemen, Scott Miski.
I'm going to stick around after this commercial break because we will see more of Nacho and
the whack-a-mole.
Stay with us.
Welcome back to Late Night at North Texas.
Now before we give it over to Nacho, because I know he's been waiting all night.
Before we send it that way, let's talk a little bit about the season we have in store.
We have a great season coming up.
We have lots of fantastic guests.
We've got funny segments that are going to be online.
We have a late night parody music video up now in case you haven't seen it.
Should totally see that.
Yeah.
We have a Gangnam parody from last season that you should check out.
And we have social media and lots of it.
Here, we'll do a little trade-off.
We've got Instagram.
We've got an Instagram at Late Night N.T.
We've got Twitter at Late Night N.T.
We've got YouTube at Late Night N.T.
And we also have Facebook at Late Night N.T.
That's awesome.
Be sure also, we like Twitter a lot.
We update on guests, stuff that's coming up.
So do check us out at Late Night N.T.
Hashtag, LNNT.
Or if you want to send a personal message to me.
You can do that at at Branden Beckbar.
So after saying all of that, how about we send it one last time to the Late Night Band?
Close it out.
Close it out.
Close it out.
Yeah.
Right?
Nacho, it's all yours.
Thank you for watching.
