1:52
Speaker 1: This was originally a soundtrack for the movie Joyful Noise.
1:57
Speaker 1: Dolly and Willie re-recorded it for his 2013 duet album,
2:04
Speaker 1: To All the Girls, and she later put it the
2:07
Speaker 1: next year in her 2014 box set entitled Blue Smoke.
2:13
Speaker 1: Parton praised Willie's, quote, old funky sound on Trigger, noting
2:19
Speaker 1: the challenge of matching sounds his phrasing, doing the duets.
2:26
Speaker 1: So we got one more to play with Dolly before
2:30
Speaker 1: we're done. Scott Clendenin is here.
2:32
Speaker 3: So before we're off of, do you think, why do
2:40
Speaker 3: you think LSU went, yes, we're against players playing, but
2:46
Speaker 3: we don't want penalties if you do? Was that just
2:50
Speaker 3: to placate Kiffin? After they had already voted to say
2:56
Speaker 3: we don't want these players that our coaches are recruiting here?
3:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't have a choice in my mind but
3:05
Speaker 1: to vote for this, okay?
3:07
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying that they abstained.
3:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. They did abstain on one of the votes, right?
3:13
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that. This is like.
3:19
Speaker 1: A similar Texas Tech situation, right?
3:21
Speaker 8: Yes.
3:22
Speaker 1: I mean, very similar.
3:23
Speaker 3: They voted against two months ago. I mean, six months ago,
3:27
Speaker 3: they voted for no gambling associated with the NCAA.
3:31
Speaker 1: Right.
3:32
Speaker 3: And then they get a gambling quarterback.
3:33
Speaker 1: Except for our quarterback.
3:34
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? I've never said such a thing.
3:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. But, and I'm not saying LSU doesn't deserve... Everything
3:46
Speaker 1: they get. It's LSU. We've seen this since Louisiana became
3:52
Speaker 1: a state. But I will also say they're not the
3:59
Speaker 1: only ones. And I absolutely believe Kiffin, who said, look,
4:04
Speaker 1: he had other options at other SEC schools. I absolutely
4:10
Speaker 1: believe that. And so we see it every day. And
4:15
Speaker 1: Mike Elko said it. I keep quoting him at the
4:17
Speaker 1: spring meetings.
4:19
Speaker 9: Yes.
4:20
Speaker 1: We're all selfish. Don't ask us what should be done
4:24
Speaker 1: because everybody is out for their own interest.
4:29
Speaker 3: Kiffin said two days ago, if I don't recruit them,
4:32
Speaker 3: I have to play against them. Well, the SEC just
4:35
Speaker 3: said you don't have to play against them.
4:38
Speaker 1: I hope, again, I hope that's true. I hope that's true.
4:44
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. And if that's true,
4:51
Speaker 1: it's the first time that at least two of the
4:56
Speaker 1: power conferences have stepped up and done something. It is
5:01
Speaker 1: the first time that I remember that apparently the presidents
5:07
Speaker 1: and chancellors are involved in this. these discussions right and
5:13
Speaker 1: they've actually taken a stand i hope it's the beginning
5:18
Speaker 1: of something new i doubt that it is not.
5:21
Speaker 3: New william mobley still fired jackie sherrill chip.
5:24
Speaker 1: Look they haven't done anything with all of this they
5:29
Speaker 1: haven't said anything they've hidden in a corner they're afraid
5:32
Speaker 1: to make a decision And we haven't heard from presidents
5:35
Speaker 1: and chancellors. I hope that maybe this galvanizes some. I
5:40
Speaker 1: don't think it will. I don't think even if this
5:45
Speaker 1: stands and these conferences, you know, have taken a stand
5:50
Speaker 1: and are backed up by it, and even if that stands,
5:54
Speaker 1: that's a long dang way from changing the direction of
6:00
Speaker 1: that college athletics is going right now, right?
6:03
Speaker 10: Yes.
6:03
Speaker 1: I told Louie today, I said, what this is is not,
6:09
Speaker 1: and I was all for players getting paid. Still am,
6:12
Speaker 1: by the way, okay? If that's the market, if $ 5
6:16
Speaker 1: million for a quarterback is the market in Miami, God
6:19
Speaker 1: bless him. That's America as far as I'm concerned. He's
6:23
Speaker 1: got skills, and you've got people willing to pay it
6:26
Speaker 1: and have the money to pay it. God bless them.
6:30
Speaker 1: I am not against that. There are just certain rules
6:35
Speaker 1: and bumper guards that can be in place because we
6:42
Speaker 1: ain't going back. You're not putting the genie back in
6:44
Speaker 1: the bottle. There's no good old days. We have said repeatedly,
6:49
Speaker 1: last year was one of the most watched football seasons ever, right? Yes.
6:54
Speaker 1: So the game, all these people saying, oh, the game
6:57
Speaker 1: is ruined. Well, it's not ruined. The stadiums are still
7:02
Speaker 1: sold out with the big schools. They're sold out, right?
7:04
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get tickets. You can't get them here.
7:08
Speaker 1: You can't get them anywhere in the SEC or Big Ten.
7:12
Speaker 1: You can't get them. And people are going to watch, okay?
7:15
Speaker 1: And they're going to watch. But there are certain things
7:19
Speaker 1: that could happen, I believe, that are just common sense things.
7:25
Speaker 3: So do you think that because the quarterback that's at
7:30
Speaker 3: Miami had a contract at Duke, he should have been
7:34
Speaker 3: forced to keep his contract?
7:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I don't think he should hop.
7:40
Speaker 3: Even though he was making more money at, you know,
7:44
Speaker 3: $ 2 million at Duke and Miami says.
7:47
Speaker 1: I understand that. We'll give you five? No. I think
7:51
Speaker 1: there have to be penalties for all the school hopping.
7:54
Speaker 1: And I don't know what those are.
7:55
Speaker 3: Because you were under contract.
7:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And I think that there have to
8:02
Speaker 1: be penalties.
8:03
Speaker 3: I mean, if this was a basketball player that left
8:05
Speaker 3: Duke to go to Miami to double his salary, do
8:08
Speaker 3: you think that Miami wouldn't have– I mean, Duke wouldn't
8:11
Speaker 3: have just said, it's football, go away?
8:14
Speaker 1: No. No. Duke is like– if I'm a Duke fan,
8:21
Speaker 1: I'm going, I'm losing a player to Miami?
8:24
Speaker 3: But even if it was Kentucky or Kansas?
8:25
Speaker 1: No, I understand what you're saying. I just– I don't
8:28
Speaker 1: think they should be able once– They have signed and
8:33
Speaker 1: committed to that program to leave.
8:35
Speaker 11: Right.
8:36
Speaker 1: But in the old days, when you had a player
8:41
Speaker 1: that that signed a letter, was at the school, was
8:46
Speaker 1: there two years, didn't make it as a starter. And
8:52
Speaker 1: wanted to change, right? What happened? You had to sit
8:56
Speaker 1: out a year, right?
8:57
Speaker 4: Yes.
8:57
Speaker 3: Is there anything wrong with that?
8:59
Speaker 1: No, not to me, there's not. Because right now, everyone
9:04
Speaker 1: is saying you have five years to play. The courts
9:06
Speaker 1: have said that, right?
9:07
Speaker 10: Yes.
9:08
Speaker 1: You have five years to complete your eligibility. You don't
9:11
Speaker 1: get five years of playing, but you get five years
9:14
Speaker 1: to complete your eligibility, right?
9:17
Speaker 3: You get five years to play.
9:19
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that.
9:20
Speaker 11: Yeah.
9:21
Speaker 7: Well....
9:23
Speaker 1: A certain amount of games, right?
9:25
Speaker 3: No, my daughter can play five years now.
9:27
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that.
9:29
Speaker 3: She can play five years.
9:30
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not for that. I'm for giving them five
9:34
Speaker 1: years to play four.
9:36
Speaker 3: Okay.
9:37
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm still with that. All right. So you can
9:41
Speaker 1: redshirt and still play, go to school, or they don't
9:46
Speaker 1: go to school anymore, but graduate, your daughter does. But,
9:49
Speaker 1: I mean... Big time athletics, they don't go to class anymore.
9:53
Speaker 1: So that's off the table. That ship has sailed too. Now,
9:58
Speaker 1: there's things I'd like to do about it. that, but
10:00
Speaker 1: I can't, so I don't care.
10:01
Speaker 3: Chip, being enrolled with the internet is COVID for football.
10:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
10:07
Speaker 3: You don't want those kids getting sick and getting COVID,
10:11
Speaker 3: do you? And not being able to play.
10:14
Speaker 7: Exactly.
10:15
Speaker 3: So if you just take your classes online.
10:17
Speaker 1: By the way, those COVID kids are still playing. Some
10:19
Speaker 1: of them are eight years into their college career.
10:23
Speaker 3: There's only one.
10:24
Speaker 1: One that's eight?
10:26
Speaker 3: Yes.
10:28
Speaker 1: There's lots of six sevens and eights. Six sevens? Yeah, yeah,
10:33
Speaker 1: six sevens.
10:34
Speaker 3: How about that? We're so hip.
10:36
Speaker 1: We weren't even trying for that.
10:38
Speaker 3: We're just so hip.
10:39
Speaker 1: We weren't even trying for that. How about this situation
10:45
Speaker 1: with I talked about this in the first hour a
10:49
Speaker 1: little bit. By the way, did you see Roger Federer
10:55
Speaker 1: last night at the U.S. Open?
10:56
Speaker 10: No, I did not.
10:57
Speaker 1: Oh, man. That was so much fun.
10:59
Speaker 3: Did he play?
11:00
Speaker 1: He played a set against Andy Roddick.
11:03
Speaker 3: Okay.
11:03
Speaker 1: And then he was joined by John McEnroe against Andy
11:08
Speaker 1: Roddick and Andre Agassi for a set of doubles.
11:11
Speaker 3: I bet I can find that online.
11:13
Speaker 1: It's terrific. It is just absolutely terrific. It was so
11:16
Speaker 1: fun to see. Who do you think was the best
11:21
Speaker 1: player of the four?
11:22
Speaker 3: Of the four?
11:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:23
Speaker 3: John McEnroe.
11:24
Speaker 1: He was the second best.
11:26
Speaker 6: Really?
11:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, Federer could still hit the ball. Andy Roddick served
11:30
Speaker 1: 134 miles an hour. He still served 134. I'm not surprised.
11:35
Speaker 1: He looked good, okay? Right. The one person that didn't was.
11:40
Speaker 3: Andre's playing pickleball.
11:42
Speaker 1: Andre has played pickleball. He had been apparently hitting a
11:46
Speaker 1: lot of tennis balls.
11:47
Speaker 3: No, he's hitting a plastic ball.
11:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. And that showed. Now, as the set went on,
11:54
Speaker 1: because they were down 5-2 and getting blown out. They
11:59
Speaker 1: won three in a row and evened it to five
12:01
Speaker 1: and then lost. They only played to six. They didn't
12:05
Speaker 1: go to all that stuff. But you could see that
12:09
Speaker 1: it was coming back, right? You could tell he hadn't played. Right.
12:13
Speaker 1: And then once he was playing, he was terrible. Couldn't
12:15
Speaker 1: get serves in. They gave him five chances to get
12:20
Speaker 1: one serve in. And he finally, I think, did underhand it.
12:25
Speaker 1: Because he didn't play pickleball!
12:26
Speaker 3: Exactly.
12:28
Speaker 1: But as it... Johnny Mack can play is what you're
12:32
Speaker 1: talking about. Johnny Mack at 67. And he still has
12:36
Speaker 1: the hands that he's always had at the net, man.
12:39
Speaker 1: It was so fun to watch. And could serve them,
12:43
Speaker 1: could still serve, right?
12:44
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know what he looks like today with
12:47
Speaker 3: his back.
12:48
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, it doesn't, you know what? It
12:50
Speaker 1: didn't matter last night because it was fun to watch.
12:53
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, today... He's probably hurting a little bit.
12:57
Speaker 6: Right.
12:57
Speaker 1: But Roddick, I'm telling you, Roddick works out. That's pretty obvious, right?
13:03
Speaker 3: So who's in better shape, Roddick or Brady?
13:07
Speaker 1: Tom Brady?
13:07
Speaker 3: Yes.
13:09
Speaker 7: Uh.
13:10
Speaker 1: I tell you, I would put Roddick's fitness up against
13:13
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's fitness. Yeah, he looked good. And they're interviewing
13:20
Speaker 1: between points and all that, and he said, well, I'm
13:22
Speaker 1: hoping my fitness is going to carry me through, is
13:25
Speaker 1: what he said. And I'm going, well, I think it will, because.
13:29
Speaker 3: Was it crazy to see people hitting a one-handed backhand again?
13:32
Speaker 1: It was fun to watch these guys. It brought back
13:37
Speaker 1: great memories when I used to watch a lot of tennis.
13:44
Speaker 1: I miss Jimmy Connors being there. If we'd had Jimmy
13:47
Speaker 1: Connors there.
13:47
Speaker 3: Chip, let me give you a quote from Field of Dreams. Okay,
13:56
Speaker 3: we didn't invite Ty Cobb because everybody hated him when
13:59
Speaker 3: he was alive. Why is Jimbo?
14:02
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen Connors on the
14:05
Speaker 1: court with McEnroe one more time.
14:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we hated him when he was playing. Why
14:10
Speaker 3: are we going to bring him in?
14:12
Speaker 1: I've told this story before, but I went up to
14:14
Speaker 1: Dallas to watch an exhibition between Connors and McEnroe. And
14:18
Speaker 1: they came dang close to getting in a fight. And
14:22
Speaker 1: it wasn't choreographed, I promise you. You know, and the
14:26
Speaker 1: one time I had Jimmy Connors on the show, my
14:31
Speaker 1: question to him was, look, I know you guys never
14:33
Speaker 1: see each other. I know you live on opposite coasts.
14:36
Speaker 1: But when you have these get togethers with tennis, do
14:38
Speaker 1: you just want to slap John McEnroe? And he laughed.
14:45
Speaker 1: He did laugh. But he didn't go on and on about,
14:49
Speaker 1: you know, how much respect there was between them and,
14:53
Speaker 1: you know, how much they've settled any issues they may
14:55
Speaker 1: have had.
14:56
Speaker 3: Three weeks ago, Chip, I watched the 30 for 30
15:01
Speaker 3: on him at the Open.
15:02
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
15:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
15:05
Speaker 1: That was the one famous point.
15:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying, and it's John talking about, you know,
15:12
Speaker 3: and here's Patrick playing Jimmy, and Patrick had seen all
15:16
Speaker 3: my matches that I'd ever played Connors, and he knew
15:19
Speaker 3: what he needed to do, and he had the lead,
15:23
Speaker 3: and it's like, in the fifth set, I turned it off.
15:28
Speaker 3: Because it was like, I knew Patrick was done.
15:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Well, I missed seeing Connors last night.
15:38
Speaker 3: And who beat?
15:40
Speaker 1: Oh, shoot. I don't remember.
15:42
Speaker 3: Because he beat the crud out of Connors.
15:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. I don't remember. Jim Currier. Oh, it
15:47
Speaker 1: was Currier. You're right.
15:48
Speaker 3: And he beat the crud. He did.
15:50
Speaker 1: He made him look old again. But in fairness, he
15:54
Speaker 1: didn't have any legs left because he had played some five-setters.
15:57
Speaker 3: But he had played a three-setter against Harhouse right before
16:00
Speaker 3: that with.
16:01
Speaker 1: Was it Crickstein? Crickstein was the five.
16:04
Speaker 3: Crickstein is the one that they would always show during
16:06
Speaker 3: the rain delays.
16:08
Speaker 1: Correct.
16:09
Speaker 3: And they'd be like, you hear it's raining, and he'd
16:12
Speaker 3: start getting calls from all his old buddies, hey, it's
16:14
Speaker 3: raining in New York. And he's like, great, that means
16:17
Speaker 3: they put my match on with the Connors.
16:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
16:20
Speaker 3: But it's still the greatest line of all time. The
16:23
Speaker 3: greatest line of all time. We have never spoken since
16:27
Speaker 3: that match.
16:27
Speaker 1: That's correct. That's what Craig Steele said.
16:30
Speaker 3: And Jimmy would not say that he was lying. Jimmy
16:37
Speaker 3: will not say, hey, I've never spoken to him.
16:40
Speaker 1: And it doesn't surprise me. Having read his biography and
16:44
Speaker 1: who he was, it doesn't surprise me.
16:46
Speaker 3: And that's why he wasn't invited last time.
16:48
Speaker 1: Because we hated him when he was alive.
16:51
Speaker 3: It's a Ty Cobb story.
16:52
Speaker 1: I freaking loved him. Oh, yes, I did. I just
16:55
Speaker 1: absolutely loved him.
16:56
Speaker 3: I mean, when they played, it was great.
16:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.
16:58
Speaker 3: From the first time in the semis when McEnroe was
17:02
Speaker 3: still a high school kid, two years before he played Borg,
17:07
Speaker 3: to when they played at Wimbledon and John McEnroe beat him.
17:14
Speaker 1: Like Currier did. He did.
17:16
Speaker 3: When he was young. This is not, hey, I'm over
17:19
Speaker 3: the hill and making this last run.
17:21
Speaker 8: No.
17:23
Speaker 3: Connors was fit and ready to play and McEnroe just
17:27
Speaker 3: destroyed him.
17:28
Speaker 1: You know, and he did that to a lot of players.
17:31
Speaker 3: Well, they did it to each other.
17:32
Speaker 1: They did.
17:33
Speaker 3: That's why it was, that's why it was great.
17:35
Speaker 1: It was great theater. You couldn't have had more separate
17:39
Speaker 1: personality styles. It was, it was like, uh, Ali and Frazier, right?
17:45
Speaker 1: It was just like Ali and Frazier.
17:46
Speaker 3: That's a great comp.
17:47
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, and, and they, the only, they
17:51
Speaker 1: brought the best out.
17:52
Speaker 3: The only problem was Ali and Frazier really.
17:55
Speaker 1: Liked each other. Uh, Eventually, I guess that's true.
18:01
Speaker 3: No, Frazier's the one that paid the money, kept food
18:04
Speaker 3: on Ollie's table.
18:05
Speaker 1: No, no, I know that. But when Ollie started in
18:09
Speaker 1: on him, that ended the relationship for most of like
18:14
Speaker 1: 30 years until they finally reconciled.
18:17
Speaker 3: You never had that between Mack and Roe.
18:20
Speaker 1: Oh, no. No, they weren't paying either one of them anything.
18:27
Speaker 1: Did you see the story about TCU pulling the credentials
18:32
Speaker 1: of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter?
18:34
Speaker 10: Yes.
18:36
Speaker 3: John called me today. My son called me today and said, hey,
18:39
Speaker 3: have you seen this story?
18:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:42
Speaker 3: Okay. Did they report the news?
18:44
Speaker 1: That's all they did.
18:45
Speaker 3: Did they lie?
18:46
Speaker 10: No.
18:46
Speaker 3: Did they embellish?
18:47
Speaker 7: No.
18:48
Speaker 1: In fact.
18:49
Speaker 3: And in listening to you earlier, they never used the
18:53
Speaker 3: person's name.
18:53
Speaker 1: They did not. Not until that person made it public.
18:58
Speaker 1: On social media.
18:59
Speaker 3: Right.
19:00
Speaker 1: And their reason for doing it was, well, the victim
19:06
Speaker 1: got a lot of calls. And that doesn't make any
19:11
Speaker 1: sense either.
19:11
Speaker 3: It's a lie.
19:12
Speaker 1: That makes no sense that the victim got threatening calls
19:17
Speaker 1: after the story came out. I can see the perpetrator
19:21
Speaker 1: getting threatening calls.
19:23
Speaker 3: No, he was a good player.
19:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is that what it was?
19:26
Speaker 3: The perpetrator is a good player.
19:29
Speaker 1: But once it became public, there was a case filed, right?
19:36
Speaker 1: Until it became public, it was just going away. And
19:43
Speaker 1: once it became public, then a case was filed with
19:49
Speaker 1: with the tsu campus police right of assault right yes
19:54
Speaker 1: look it's not the first time any of this has
19:56
Speaker 1: happened in the locker room okay it's not it won't
19:59
Speaker 1: be close to the last it's a hundred degrees outside
20:03
Speaker 1: these guys are beating on each other tempers flare we
20:06
Speaker 1: see it all the time this may have been more
20:08
Speaker 1: than that actually, because the player was dismissed. Isn't that true?
20:14
Speaker 1: After it became public, he was dismissed from the team?
20:17
Speaker 10: Yes.
20:19
Speaker 1: But I can see Sonny doing that.
20:23
Speaker 3: What did you call Sonny earlier?
20:25
Speaker 1: What did I call him? I don't remember. A provocateur?
20:32
Speaker 3: No, no. You described him as snarky.
20:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. He's a little sensitive.
20:38
Speaker 3: No, but you used a different word.
20:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
20:40
Speaker 3: You used a word that if you took the Y
20:42
Speaker 3: off of it, it became a curse word.
20:44
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
20:44
Speaker 3: And I thought, why did— Snippy?
20:46
Speaker 1: Did I say snippy?
20:48
Speaker 3: Something close to that.
20:49
Speaker 1: That sounds like something I would call him. But— But
20:53
Speaker 1: you can't do that. They're going to get hammered.
20:56
Speaker 3: Sonny has played I'm My Daddy's Boy for a long time,
21:01
Speaker 3: but you saw the way he left SMU to go
21:03
Speaker 3: to TCU that Sonny is all about Sonny.
21:07
Speaker 1: He's not— His father's son in a lot of ways,
21:10
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. Spike never would have done that.
21:14
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.
21:15
Speaker 3: Put it this way. I'm still snippy that by God
21:20
Speaker 3: he would think that Daryl Royal is a better coaching
21:24
Speaker 3: job than the Alice Coyotes because he left to replace
21:29
Speaker 3: Emery Ballard when Emery came to A & M. Sonny
21:32
Speaker 3: Dykes went from Alice High School to the Longhorns. So
21:36
Speaker 3: I'm still a little pissed off. Who is Daryl Royal
21:41
Speaker 3: to think that his orange and white is better than my.
21:45
Speaker 1: Orange and white? Oh, that's funny.
21:46
Speaker 3: What do you mean it's funny?
21:48
Speaker 1: It's funny. I like it.
21:52
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not mad at Gene Rogers for going
21:54
Speaker 3: back to Killeen out of Alice, but I'm still a
21:57
Speaker 3: little upset at Spike because he didn't stay. If Spike
22:00
Speaker 3: had stayed in college from then on, then I would
22:03
Speaker 3: have nothing to say.
22:04
Speaker 1: Speaking of that.
22:05
Speaker 3: Spike left and then went back to high school later.
22:10
Speaker 1: You were around for the Jeff Watson days, weren't you?
22:13
Speaker 10: Yes.
22:14
Speaker 1: Right?
22:14
Speaker 10: Yes.
22:17
Speaker 1: Talked to a couple people today because the funeral happened
22:19
Speaker 1: to be at our church this afternoon.
22:21
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
22:22
Speaker 1: And that was, what was he, 46-4 in high school?
22:28
Speaker 3: Yes.
22:29
Speaker 1: Right, in four years?
22:30
Speaker 7: Right.
22:30
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
22:31
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
22:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a decent record.
22:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
22:35
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, two of the four losses were in state championship games.
22:39
Speaker 3: Westlake, right?
22:40
Speaker 1: No, one was city finals in Westlake. And one of
22:43
Speaker 1: them was Chapel Hill.
22:45
Speaker 3: Chapel Hill.
22:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
22:47
Speaker 10: Yes.
22:48
Speaker 4: Yes.
22:49
Speaker 1: And then he ended up with a real decent career
22:52
Speaker 1: at Baylor, right? This was before anybody was throwing the
22:56
Speaker 1: ball around, but he threw for over 5,000 yards, which
22:59
Speaker 1: was a lot. I know they can do that one
23:01
Speaker 1: season now, but back in the early to mid-' 90s, he
23:06
Speaker 1: played a lot of ball and took them, I believe,
23:08
Speaker 1: to their first bowl game in like 30 years or something,
23:12
Speaker 1: one of the years he was there.
23:14
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised because they had kind of fallen
23:16
Speaker 3: on hard times.
23:16
Speaker 1: They had, yeah. Great career. Unbelievable career. And, you know,
23:24
Speaker 1: a sad ending to a great career. But so I'm
23:30
Speaker 1: assuming and I haven't either. I'm assuming. Are you going
23:33
Speaker 1: to watch the Vince Young documentary? I read a story
23:39
Speaker 1: today about what just came out.
23:42
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there was a fin show documentary.
23:43
Speaker 1: Okay, Netflix just put it out. It was the same
23:46
Speaker 1: untold story that Johnny did three or four years ago.
23:50
Speaker 1: Same people.
23:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:53
Speaker 1: And the story making the headlines out of it was
23:57
Speaker 1: an expansion of the relationship between him and Jeff Fisher
24:01
Speaker 1: that everyone knew was– sideways anyway, right? There was some toxicity.
24:06
Speaker 1: There was a lot.
24:07
Speaker 3: Only because Jeff Fisher didn't, I don't think he liked
24:12
Speaker 3: Cheesecake Factory. If he had liked Cheesecake Factory, there would
24:16
Speaker 3: have been no problems between the.
24:17
Speaker 1: Two of them. There were a lot of things besides
24:19
Speaker 1: the Cheesecake Factory. A lot of things. Things that I
24:22
Speaker 1: had probably forgotten and knew 30 years ago, whenever it was.
24:26
Speaker 3: Did they show that his knee's down in the Rose Bowl? No.
24:33
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it. I haven't seen it yet. I
24:35
Speaker 1: just want to know if they show that his knee's down.
24:36
Speaker 3: I just read a story.
24:37
Speaker 1: You need to get over that.
24:38
Speaker 3: Why do I need to get over that? Was his
24:41
Speaker 3: knee down or not?
24:42
Speaker 1: I don't remember the play. You mean when he pitched
24:44
Speaker 1: it back?
24:45
Speaker 8: Yes.
24:46
Speaker 4: Right?
24:46
Speaker 1: Was that a touchdown?
24:48
Speaker 3: It was the play before the touchdown on fourth down.
24:51
Speaker 1: That was the kid from Ramones Taylor? Was that the
24:55
Speaker 1: pitch to him or not? I believe it was. I
24:57
Speaker 1: don't remember.
24:59
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter?
24:59
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't matter.
25:00
Speaker 3: Because his knee wasn't down?
25:01
Speaker 1: Right. It was a good play because the officials didn't
25:04
Speaker 1: blow the whistle.
25:05
Speaker 3: So now you like officials.
25:07
Speaker 1: No, I don't like officials much. Anyway, Fisher basically was,
25:16
Speaker 1: they got him to talk about it.
25:18
Speaker 10: No.
25:19
Speaker 1: Yes, they did. He's on camera, apparently, to talk about
25:22
Speaker 1: his relationship, right, and everything that went on during that time.
25:27
Speaker 1: There was Bud Adams, obviously. There was Bud Adams' ex-wife,
25:32
Speaker 1: which I didn't know about, and Bud making the call saying, hey,
25:37
Speaker 1: you need to put this kid back at starter. I
25:41
Speaker 1: just didn't remember all the drama and everything that went
25:43
Speaker 1: on because it's Tennessee and it was the NFL, and
25:45
Speaker 1: by then I'd given up on the NFL, and I
25:47
Speaker 1: just don't care.
25:48
Speaker 3: So I should watch this?
25:50
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I'll let you know, okay, if
25:52
Speaker 1: it's worth watching. But I want to see Jeff Fisher
25:57
Speaker 1: sitting down– And apparently totally unrepentant about any decision he made.
26:02
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he was right or wrong because
26:04
Speaker 1: I haven't seen all of it yet. Right. Right. And
26:06
Speaker 1: I don't know the story. But apparently Fisher's like, no,
26:10
Speaker 1: I'm not. If you're asking me, did I do this?
26:13
Speaker 1: The answer is yes, I did. You know, I did this.
26:18
Speaker 1: Did he say I did this? OK, well, yeah, I did.
26:21
Speaker 1: And this is why.
26:22
Speaker 7: Right.
26:23
Speaker 1: I mean, so by everyone's account, by everyone's account. And
26:28
Speaker 1: Vince's own, apparently, because I've seen snippets living up to it.
26:33
Speaker 1: The promo was interesting, but I don't know if you've
26:38
Speaker 1: seen that or not.
26:38
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know this even existed until today.
26:41
Speaker 1: Okay, the promo was, the guy goes, so are you
26:44
Speaker 1: comfortable with your legacy and how everything played out? And
26:48
Speaker 1: Vince's answer is, hell no, I'm not comfortable with my legacy.
26:52
Speaker 3: It is still one of the things... that being the
26:57
Speaker 3: head coach in the National Football League, even though your
27:00
Speaker 3: quarterback is the most highest-paid player on your team and
27:05
Speaker 3: they're the most highest-paid players in that sport, there is
27:09
Speaker 3: still something about that if your head coach doesn't like
27:12
Speaker 3: you and doesn't want to play you, They have control
27:16
Speaker 3: over your life.
27:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the time being.
27:18
Speaker 12: Yes.
27:19
Speaker 1: There are only a few owners that will call and say, no,
27:21
Speaker 1: you have to play this. They still exist.
27:24
Speaker 7: Right.
27:24
Speaker 1: But they're fewer and far between. Hey, I've got to
27:27
Speaker 1: do this. Can you play Mission Impossible?
27:29
Speaker 3: Wait. You're kidding me. I'm not.
27:31
Speaker 1: Starts next Monday.
27:33
Speaker 3: No, okay.
27:33
Speaker 1: Not this week. You thought you'd already started. No, no, no, no.
27:37
Speaker 1: I needed to play. No, starts on Monday.

28:23
Speaker 3: to Jeff Fisher talk.
28:24
Speaker 7: Yeah.
28:25
Speaker 3: Listening and, you know, Johnny's head coach at Cleveland.

32:32
Speaker 7: you go How many How many I wonder But I
32:51
Speaker 7: really don't want to know And.
33:01
Speaker 4: How many lips have kissed you And set your.
33:09
Speaker 3: Soul aglow.
33:16
Speaker 5: How many? How many?
33:19
Speaker 4: I wonder.
33:24
Speaker 1: Mallory is brought to us by Southwest Card World. And Mallory,
33:33
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen so much outpouring of emotion
33:37
Speaker 1: in a long time about the death of a celebrity.
33:42
Speaker 1: I mean, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. You're not Mallory. Lizzie
33:48
Speaker 1: is here.
33:48
Speaker 10: Yes, it is.
33:49
Speaker 1: Lizzie. Unbelievable. Uh, I need to pay closer attention, I guess,
33:55
Speaker 1: to the people I probably let on my show, but
33:59
Speaker 1: I have a history of, you know, that, that that's,
34:04
Speaker 1: that's okay. Um, Mallory actually has a real job. I've
34:08
Speaker 1: said this before. Not a fake one like we do.
34:11
Speaker 8: Yes.
34:12
Speaker 1: She has a real win, and sometimes things get in
34:14
Speaker 1: the way. We talked about Dolly yesterday, and I wouldn't
34:20
Speaker 1: go to say we were finished talking about Dolly. But, oh,
34:24
Speaker 1: my goodness. I've just been– it's kind of overwhelming when
34:30
Speaker 1: you look at everyone that's– I mean, the flags are
34:33
Speaker 1: flying at half staff. When's the last time that happened?
34:37
Speaker 1: Like with quote a celebrity.
34:39
Speaker 5: And what for the next six days, I think.
34:41
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
34:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:42
Speaker 1: I mean, and every, and look, I get the fact
34:47
Speaker 1: that some, some celebrities want to jump on the train going, Hey,
34:54
Speaker 1: remember me? I, I got a note from Dolly 15
34:58
Speaker 1: years ago and I really liked her.
35:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
35:01
Speaker 1: You know, uh, But I will say that everyone who
35:07
Speaker 1: has come in contact with her over the years pretty
35:11
Speaker 1: much speaks the same way about her. And so all
35:15
Speaker 1: of these big names are releasing statements. And, you know,
35:22
Speaker 1: I guess this is where their PR people make their money.
35:27
Speaker 5: Well, sure, yeah.
35:28
Speaker 1: We need a statement. Stat. Stat.
35:30
Speaker 5: Very true. But she has made an incredible impact.
35:34
Speaker 1: I'm not downplaying her impact whatsoever. I am surprised at
35:41
Speaker 1: the universality of it, right? And just so many different
35:45
Speaker 1: kinds of people. I mean, you know, when Paul McCartney
35:50
Speaker 1: speaks out about it, I mean, you expect the Taylor
35:53
Speaker 1: Swifts of the world to, you know, have to have
35:56
Speaker 1: a statement. And I'm sure she was called and go, hey,
36:00
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda, of course, acted with her. Linda Ronstadt did
36:04
Speaker 1: that incredible trio album with Emmylou Harris that's amazing. Sally
36:11
Speaker 1: Field acted with her. Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, and Steel Magnolias.
36:17
Speaker 5: Great movie, yeah.
36:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, great movie.
36:20
Speaker 5: You got Miley, her goddaughter.
36:21
Speaker 12: It's Miley!
36:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
36:25
Speaker 1: And so many different genres of music. of musicians is that's,
36:32
Speaker 1: you know, crossed all levels, which not again, not too
36:37
Speaker 1: many people could do that. Right.
36:39
Speaker 5: Isn't she also in the rock and roll hall?
36:41
Speaker 1: She is. She, she turned it down.
36:43
Speaker 10: Yeah.
36:43
Speaker 7: Yeah.
36:43
Speaker 1: Within the last year or two, she, she was inducted and,
36:47
Speaker 1: and she said no a couple of times. And I
36:51
Speaker 1: just read that she was going to be given the
36:55
Speaker 1: presidential medal of freedom.
36:57
Speaker 3: Right.
36:58
Speaker 1: And, She turned that down. Right. But but then I
37:07
Speaker 1: think her husband died or something. This was several years ago.
37:11
Speaker 1: So she turned that down during the Biden administration and
37:16
Speaker 1: President Trump wanted to do it. She said, look, I
37:20
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be right if I came out and said
37:24
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it during Biden, but I will during
37:26
Speaker 1: during this election. She was, and I think that's why people,
37:31
Speaker 1: so many people respected her because she was able to
37:35
Speaker 1: cross all levels, right?
37:39
Speaker 9: Right.
37:40
Speaker 1: All income levels. It didn't matter what side of the
37:45
Speaker 1: aisle you were on. And then there's just not many
37:48
Speaker 1: people like that, frankly. No, absolutely.
37:51
Speaker 10: Yeah.
37:51
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what I mean when I say impact
37:54
Speaker 5: is she just, was so important to so many things
37:58
Speaker 5: and so many people. And additionally, she went out of
38:04
Speaker 5: her way to just really give back.
38:08
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
38:09
Speaker 5: I mean, I've heard, and this could be a rumor,
38:11
Speaker 5: but I've heard that she could have been a billionaire.
38:15
Speaker 5: But because of the amount of philanthropy that she's done,
38:18
Speaker 5: she never.
38:19
Speaker 1: Got to that point. It's estimated, and I don't know
38:21
Speaker 1: if that's true or not, that in her lifetime she's
38:24
Speaker 1: given away like a half a billion dollars, right?
38:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
38:28
Speaker 1: Her imagination library is one of the most amazing things
38:32
Speaker 1: in the world. Right. She gave away a million books
38:37
Speaker 1: a month for years, right, to kids not just in
38:43
Speaker 1: this country but literally all over the world.
38:45
Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah.
38:47
Speaker 1: And that was– I think that was born out of
38:49
Speaker 1: the fact that her dad couldn't read. Exactly. He was illiterate. Yeah.
38:55
Speaker 1: With 12 kids.
38:57
Speaker 5: They did say that they were planning to continue that initiative.
39:00
Speaker 5: So I saw that.
39:02
Speaker 1: I would suspect. Did you see where Jolene went to
39:05
Speaker 1: number one on the Apple Music yesterday?
39:08
Speaker 5: That's so great.
39:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. That was pretty amazing.
39:13
Speaker 5: But not nine to five.
39:14
Speaker 1: Not nine to five. How about Great Britain yesterday?
39:18
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
39:19
Speaker 8: No.
39:19
Speaker 5: Heard about that.
39:21
Speaker 12: What?
39:21
Speaker 1: What happened? What did they do?
39:23
Speaker 5: Are you talking about Meghan Markle?
39:25
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
39:26
Speaker 10: Oh, no, no, no.
39:27
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
39:27
Speaker 5: Oh, no, you're talking about the guard.
39:29
Speaker 1: The guard.
39:29
Speaker 5: Yes, that's amazing.
39:33
Speaker 1: Read that story. I think you have that one.
39:35
Speaker 5: Okay, let's see. The King's Charles soldiers honored Dolly Parton
39:39
Speaker 5: by playing one of her biggest hits in front of
39:41
Speaker 5: Buckingham Palace the morning after her passing.
39:44
Speaker 1: During the changing of the guard. Yeah. Right?
39:48
Speaker 4: They.
39:49
Speaker 1: That's... That.
39:50
Speaker 5: Was that changing the guard was a little more boppy
39:52
Speaker 5: than normal.
39:53
Speaker 3: It was a.
39:54
Speaker 1: Little more boppy. I, it's like a, a high school
39:58
Speaker 1: band playing a rock song. You know, I mean, can
40:01
Speaker 1: you imagine that?
40:02
Speaker 5: I love it when they do that.
40:03
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.
40:05
Speaker 9: Yeah.
40:06
Speaker 1: So it has come out and obviously she was very private.
40:12
Speaker 1: She just kept talking about health challenges. You know, Remember,
40:18
Speaker 1: she had to cancel her Las Vegas residency in May.
40:24
Speaker 1: She kept saying, improving every day. Our medications and treatments, quote,
40:30
Speaker 1: make me a little bit swimmy-headed. She spoke as recently
40:38
Speaker 1: as Friday to People magazine. Uh, admitting she'd been through
40:44
Speaker 1: hard times. I'm dealing with some health issues that I
40:48
Speaker 1: just didn't pay attention to when I was watching over Carl, uh, uh,
40:54
Speaker 1: referring to her husband. And now it's come out that
40:58
Speaker 1: she was his caregiver for quite a while.
41:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
41:02
Speaker 7: Right.
41:03
Speaker 1: Before he died, uh, 16 months ago.
41:05
Speaker 5: Right.
41:06
Speaker 1: Uh, they were married 59 years.
41:09
Speaker 5: Incredible.
41:10
Speaker 1: Right.
41:10
Speaker 7: Yeah.
41:11
Speaker 1: Um, A private memorial service is going to be held
41:16
Speaker 1: for immediate family, according to Parton's rep, because that's what
41:22
Speaker 1: she wanted.
41:23
Speaker 5: I think it's appropriate.
41:25
Speaker 1: Fans who would like to pay tribute or encourage to
41:29
Speaker 1: tag at Dolly Parton on the socials, leave a message
41:32
Speaker 1: at DollyParton.com. And in lieu of flowers, the family asked
41:37
Speaker 1: for donations to the Imagination Library at imagination library.com. I
41:47
Speaker 1: suspect that this imagination library is going to be funded
41:53
Speaker 1: for years.
41:54
Speaker 5: To come from just from this.
41:56
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
41:57
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
41:57
Speaker 1: It'll be, you know, that'll be cool. Um, she was
42:04
Speaker 1: at the Vanderbilt Ingram cancer center. They said they described
42:10
Speaker 1: it as a It was a brief battle with cancer, but,
42:13
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it was. Some of her family kind
42:19
Speaker 1: of hinted, and obviously this didn't help, but some of
42:25
Speaker 1: them hinted that maybe she died of a broken heart,
42:28
Speaker 1: that after Carl died, her health really began declining.
42:36
Speaker 7: Right.
42:36
Speaker 1: And I'm sure she was worn out too, right? Oh, absolutely.
42:39
Speaker 1: If anybody's ever done that, right, she's worn out. I'm
42:42
Speaker 1: very aware of that. Yes, at 79 years yourself, taking
42:47
Speaker 1: care of someone who needs help 24 hours a day.
42:51
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
42:51
Speaker 1: That'll wear you out. You can see the.
42:59
Speaker 1: Statement that her nephew first announced yesterday.
43:04
Speaker 5: Yes, it's on all their socials.
43:06
Speaker 1: It's on all the social media. It was between like 1.15
43:15
Speaker 1: and 2 o'clock. It first came out our time, I believe,
43:19
Speaker 1: when he first released that. Now, you knew this was
43:23
Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't think this is the last,
43:27
Speaker 1: but the Grand Ole Opry... Their weekly show Saturday is
43:33
Speaker 1: going to be all about Dolly.
43:35
Speaker 5: Right.
43:37
Speaker 1: Let's see. Carly Pierce, among those that are scheduled to
43:43
Speaker 1: take the stage, she got her start performing at Dollywood.
43:50
Speaker 1: By the way, Dollywood is reopened today. They showed. I
43:58
Speaker 1: think it was Sevierville, which was her home. Good gosh.
44:04
Speaker 1: The flowers and notes that had already accumulated at this
44:07
Speaker 1: little bitty place yesterday was pretty impressive.
44:11
Speaker 2: Right.
44:12
Speaker 1: Last night was the Grand Ole Opry. Rhonda Vinson opened
44:18
Speaker 1: the show saying this is for Dolly, sang Coat of
44:21
Speaker 1: Many Colors, also performed 9 to 5 in Jolene. Morgan
44:27
Speaker 1: Miles saying, I will always love you. And I believe
44:32
Speaker 1: this is correct. I mentioned this yesterday. She wrote Jolene
44:39
Speaker 1: and I will always love you within a couple of
44:42
Speaker 1: hours of each other. Wow. Back in like 1973. Yeah.
44:48
Speaker 1: That was a pretty good morning of writing.
44:49
Speaker 5: That is absolutely right. And you just take a break
44:53
Speaker 5: for like the next decade.
44:54
Speaker 7: Yeah.
44:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was a pretty good morning of writing.
44:57
Speaker 14: Right.
44:58
Speaker 1: I think maybe 3,000 songs was mentioned. She was... Wow.
45:03
Speaker 1: And I think we haven't heard all of them, right?
45:05
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
45:06
Speaker 1: I mean, we're going to hear more because I'm certain
45:10
Speaker 1: she's been writing the last year when she hasn't been performing.
45:14
Speaker 5: Exactly, yeah.
45:16
Speaker 1: I don't know if she recorded any of them, but
45:19
Speaker 1: I'm certain we're going to have more Dolly music coming up, right?
45:23
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
45:24
Speaker 1: So... Anyway, yeah, we're going to miss Dolly. But I
45:34
Speaker 1: said this yesterday. I don't think maybe the average fan
45:38
Speaker 1: appreciates how good a songwriter she was.
45:42
Speaker 5: Right.
45:44
Speaker 1: She was one of the best, in my opinion.
45:48
Speaker 5: Which is probably why a lot of artists sought her
45:50
Speaker 5: out to help them.
45:51
Speaker 1: No question.
45:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
45:53
Speaker 1: Cole wrote with them. Yeah. And, you know, she she
45:59
Speaker 1: was just an unbelievable songwriter. And I'm just now digging
46:06
Speaker 1: into some of the songs that weren't hits. Right.
46:10
Speaker 10: Yeah.
46:10
Speaker 1: But I played one yesterday from a bluegrass album called
46:14
Speaker 1: The Grass is Blue. That is just phenomenal song. Phenomenal song.
46:22
Speaker 1: And she also wrote. some songs that were controversial when
46:30
Speaker 1: they came out, right? The 1970s.
46:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, she did.
46:34
Speaker 1: She spoke her mind.
46:36
Speaker 5: Absolutely. She was a very transparent person.
46:39
Speaker 1: Well, she was.
46:39
Speaker 14: Yeah.
46:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was.
46:42
Speaker 5: And a great joke teller.
46:44
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. And apparently had a few that were not
46:49
Speaker 1: for public consumption as well.
46:52
Speaker 5: Nothing we can say here.
46:52
Speaker 10: Correct.
46:55
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go on with some more news.
46:58
Speaker 5: Oh, so we're going to talk about Meghan Markle and Prince.
47:04
Speaker 1: Harry arriving back in the U.K.? Mallory and I talked
47:07

Speaker 1: Of the family. They're not allowed to.

47:35

48:29
Speaker 5: Oh, it is a private residence.
48:30
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
48:30
Speaker 1: They can't stay in the government housing. No, the government housing.
48:36
Speaker 5: You know those tenements that are giant.
48:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, the slums.
48:38
Speaker 7: Yeah.
48:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they've done quite well. I don't believe
48:42
Speaker 1: they need to be staying in this house.
48:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, they're doing their own thing, and that's totally.
48:47
Speaker 1: Good for them.
48:47
Speaker 5: Good for them, exactly.
48:48
Speaker 1: Good for them.
48:50
Speaker 5: We're talking about Busy Phillips now.
48:52
Speaker 1: Oh, Busy Phillips.
48:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Busy Phillips.
48:54
Speaker 1: She's a friend of the show, you know.
48:55
Speaker 6: Really?
48:56
Speaker 5: I did not know that.
48:57
Speaker 1: She's a friend of the show.
48:58
Speaker 5: Well, she's been undergoing a private health battle for the
49:01
Speaker 5: majority of this year. The Dawson's Creek alum revealed to
49:06
Speaker 5: the people in her cover story published Wednesday that she
49:08
Speaker 5: was diagnosed with a brain tumor this past February and
49:11
Speaker 5: has undergone two surgeries.
49:13
Speaker 1: That's not good.
49:14
Speaker 5: She says that she's grateful to be alive and it's
49:18
Speaker 5: been the weirdest six months. of her life.
49:21
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah.
49:23
Speaker 5: And the thing is, like, that is such a busy
49:25
Speaker 5: Phillips thing to say. Anyway, I've had a brain tumor.
49:28
Speaker 5: It's weird.
49:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's strange.
49:30
Speaker 5: Following her diagnosis, she did what she does best and
49:33
Speaker 5: makes a joke. Let's see.
49:36
Speaker 1: I think she had it. Of course, everyone has a podcast,
49:39
Speaker 1: but I believe that when she came on, she was
49:42
Speaker 1: publicizing her podcast, which at the time was fairly new.
49:45
Speaker 5: Yes.
49:47
Speaker 1: And I believe they taped that late at night, and
49:49
Speaker 1: there was lots of alcohol involved, if I'm not mistaken.
49:52
Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah, yeah. Isn't there always? If I'm remembering
49:55
Speaker 1: that correctly.
49:56
Speaker 5: I mean, didn't we take a shot before? No, I'm
49:58
Speaker 5: just kidding.
49:59
Speaker 1: We probably should have.
50:00
Speaker 3: Probably.
50:01
Speaker 7: Yeah.
50:01
Speaker 5: We're going to start this up.
50:03
Speaker 7: Yeah.
50:03
Speaker 5: But yeah, so... Let's see. She asked the doctor if
50:08
Speaker 5: they would do a brow lift while removing the tumor.
50:11
Speaker 1: I like that.
50:13
Speaker 5: Sounds like something I would do.
50:14
Speaker 1: Got to keep your sense of humor. Exactly.
50:18
Speaker 5: Let's see. And that's about that.
50:20
Speaker 1: Okay.
50:21
Speaker 7: Yeah.
50:21
Speaker 1: All right. Anything else?
50:23
Speaker 10: Yeah.
50:23
Speaker 5: Let's see. This one is Barry Manilow.
50:26
Speaker 1: Oh, I heard this.
50:27
Speaker 5: He's taking a break from touring.
50:28
Speaker 1: He's got voice issues, I think.
50:30
Speaker 5: He has for a while from what I've heard. Yeah,
50:33
Speaker 5: and he.
50:34
Speaker 1: He's doing a residency in Vegas, by the way.
50:36
Speaker 5: Yes, he canceled two of his residency.
50:40
Speaker 1: Dates in Vegas. I was actually considering, because I'm going
50:43
Speaker 1: to be out there in a couple of months.
50:44
Speaker 5: You're going to do it?
50:45
Speaker 1: I don't know if I... You know, there's just not
50:47
Speaker 1: a lot of... While I'm going to be there, there weren't, like,
50:51
Speaker 1: tons of things you go, oh, I've got to see that.
50:55
Speaker 1: But I've never seen Barry.
50:57
Speaker 5: How many times have you been to Vegas?
50:59
Speaker 1: Oh.
51:00
Speaker 5: A number of times?
51:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, a number of times.
51:02
Speaker 5: Enough for the both of us.
51:03
Speaker 1: Correct.
51:04
Speaker 7: Yes.
51:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I haven't been and I want to go.
51:07
Speaker 5: There are shows I'd love to see, but mostly the food.
51:09
Speaker 1: We're going to see the Eagles, actually, at the Sphere.
51:12
Speaker 5: At the Sphere, even?
51:14
Speaker 7: Yeah.
51:14
Speaker 1: Oh, man, I'm absolutely jealous. Looking forward to that.
51:17
Speaker 5: That is incredible.
51:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
51:19
Speaker 5: So, yeah, that's about it for that. I mean, it says,
51:23
Speaker 5: let's see, he's going to take a break until he
51:26
Speaker 5: returns to Westgate, Las Vegas, October 8th.
51:29
Speaker 1: Okay.
51:30
Speaker 5: So, yeah, it's going to be.
51:32
Speaker 1: Okay. October 8th. Well, I'm going to November. We'll see
51:35
Speaker 1: if he's still there.
51:35
Speaker 11: Maybe.
51:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe so.
51:37
Speaker 5: November's a great month.
51:38
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do birthdays, can we?
51:40
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1: Let's see. Valerie Simpson of Ashford and Simpson is 81 today.
51:48
Speaker 5: Yeah. Singer Bob Cousel of the Cousels is 77.
51:52
Speaker 1: Oh, friend of the show. Friends of the show, the Cousels.

Speaker 1: Vic Dana, 86. Let's see. Who else do we have?
52:04
Speaker 5: Ooh, Shirley Manson of the band Garbage.
