Speaker 1: The Texas Rangers. have announced the following transactions prior to

1:51
Speaker 1: been recalled from AAA Round Rock, and right-handed pitcher Winston
1:56
Speaker 1: Santos has been optioned to rookie-level ACL Rangers. I was
2:03
Speaker 1: just telling Scott Glendon before we came back, I have
2:08
Speaker 1: been waiting for this move from the front office tonight.
2:12
Speaker 4: For weeks now.
2:13
Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
2:14
Speaker 4: This is going to tip the whole race.
2:16
Speaker 3: Somebody who was on the major league roster has been
2:20
Speaker 3: optioned to rookie.
2:23
Speaker 7: Ball?
2:25
Speaker 4: Do you see now what we're working with?
2:27
Speaker 3: Okay.
2:28
Speaker 1: Do you see what we're working with here?
2:31
Speaker 3: I retract everything I just said.
2:33
Speaker 1: Good gosh. This is what we're working with right now.
2:38
Speaker 1: In the last five games.
2:40
Speaker 4: Of the season.
2:40
Speaker 3: Michael Hellman's been brought back, right? Oh, baby.
2:44
Speaker 4: Been waiting for that.
2:44
Speaker 3: I like Michael Hellman.
2:45
Speaker 4: He's pretty good. Okay, here we go.
2:48
Speaker 1: Let's talk some football. Let's talk LSU, Texas A & M.
2:59
Speaker 1: What's got to happen Saturday night for this eight and
3:04
Speaker 1: a half to be erased?
3:08
Speaker 3: They can move the game to 230.
3:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not as worried about that. They proved last
3:13
Speaker 1: year that wasn't a big deal.
3:15
Speaker 3: They did, didn't they?
3:16
Speaker 4: Yes, they did.
3:17
Speaker 3: Were they the favorite last year?
3:19
Speaker 4: They were not.
3:20
Speaker 8: Hmm.
3:22
Speaker 3: LSU have talent last year?
3:25
Speaker 4: They had some, not as much as they have this year.
3:27
Speaker 3: But is LSU a talent-poor program?
3:30
Speaker 4: No, no, never.
3:32
Speaker 3: I mean, did they have a coach that was an
3:33
Speaker 3: idiot and didn't know how to make the tight end
3:36
Speaker 3: into a star player?
3:37
Speaker 9: Apparently.
3:39
Speaker 3: He's not playing, though, right?
3:40
Speaker 4: He's not.
3:43
Speaker 3: It would be good if I'm, because I'm still looking
3:46
Speaker 3: at the student-athlete availability report, that I see that A
3:50
Speaker 3: & M gets both running backs and a wide receiver back.
3:54
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that.
3:56
Speaker 4: Ashton Bethel-Roman.
3:57
Speaker 3: Ashton Bethel-Roman, Morrow, and K.J. Edwards. I'm not saying that
4:02
Speaker 3: those three guys and losing Bussey... Those four players, A
4:11
Speaker 3: & M was not in a position to absorb their loss,
4:15
Speaker 3: even though they knew two of them weren't going to play. K.J.
4:18
Speaker 3: Edwards is a difference maker. You see K.J. Edwards be
4:21
Speaker 3: a difference maker. Now, if he's not going to.
4:26
Speaker 4: Be 100%— He has to have touches.
4:28
Speaker 3: Yes, and that was the game plan, was to get
4:33
Speaker 3: him touches.
4:33
Speaker 10: Yes.
4:34
Speaker 3: If he's not going to be 100%, I don't know
4:36
Speaker 3: if that helps A & M beat LSU this weekend.
4:40
Speaker 3: But those guys being healthy and being able to play
4:43
Speaker 3: gives A & M an opportunity to have more offense
4:46
Speaker 3: than they had last week. That being said, they have
4:53
Speaker 3: to do the same kind of job that Ole Miss
4:57
Speaker 3: did defensively. You and I talked about it last week
5:01
Speaker 3: that we didn't know how good Ole Miss was defensively.
5:04
Speaker 1: Correct.
5:04
Speaker 3: I don't think any of those answers were set in
5:09
Speaker 3: stone on how good Ole Miss is defensively during that game.
5:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was uneven.
5:17
Speaker 8: Yes.
5:18
Speaker 4: Two halves.
5:19
Speaker 7: Very.
5:23
Speaker 4: And LSU obviously gave up 17.
5:26
Speaker 11: Yeah.
5:30
Speaker 1: But even with that, they were facing the presumptive now
5:37
Speaker 1: Heisman quarterback. They've still only given up 33 yards rushing
5:42
Speaker 1: per day.
5:43
Speaker 3: And that is the question. Is this an actual defense
5:48
Speaker 3: that LSU's have that can stop a running quarterback? We
5:53
Speaker 3: do not know that. Clemson didn't do it. LaTex certainly
5:57
Speaker 3: didn't do it. Ole Miss didn't have to do it,
6:00
Speaker 3: but when he wanted to go, he gashed them.
6:05
Speaker 1: And like I said, they're missing a key component with
6:08
Speaker 1: their star guy, Deshaun Spears.
6:11
Speaker 8: Yes.
6:12
Speaker 3: So how the Aggie offense shows up currently, as I
6:19
Speaker 3: look at it right now, until I see the availability report,
6:23
Speaker 3: is a mystery. Defensively... Well, let's say this as well.
6:29
Speaker 4: What's not a mystery is Marcel Reed has to be better. Yes,
6:32
Speaker 4: he does.
6:35
Speaker 3: You can't go for it on fourth down and throw
6:38
Speaker 3: it into the feet of a wide open wide receiver.
6:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't do it.
6:42
Speaker 3: Now, the crazy thing is I was watching the Rams play.
6:45
Speaker 3: I guess they played on Sunday night football or Monday
6:48
Speaker 3: night football. And Brett Stafford, pretty good.
6:51
Speaker 4: I mean, he's pretty good.
6:52
Speaker 3: He's a pretty good quarterback.
6:53
Speaker 12: Yeah.
6:54
Speaker 3: And I saw him make that same throw to a
6:56
Speaker 3: wide-open guy that his pass was too shallow and didn't
7:01
Speaker 3: give his guy a chance to catch the ball. And
7:03
Speaker 3: I'm like, but it was at least high enough to
7:06
Speaker 3: be caught. Quarterback is a position where you make a
7:10
Speaker 3: mistake in that kind of situation, it's glaring.
7:14
Speaker 1: No doubt. Look, I said this Monday with the writers,
7:19
Speaker 1: I'm going to stand by it. I understand people are
7:22
Speaker 1: all over the quarterback.
7:23
Speaker 4: I get it.
7:24
Speaker 1: He has to play better. There's no question he has
7:27
Speaker 1: to play better. But, man, he was not in my
7:33
Speaker 1: list number one. That was not number one on Saturday.
7:37
Speaker 1: The biggest number one, and I expect it to be
7:40
Speaker 1: different this week, was attitude.
7:43
Speaker 4: They got slapped.
7:44
Speaker 1: Around on Saturday, and it has been a wild, And
7:50
Speaker 1: you probably can remember when an Elko team was physically,
7:58
Speaker 1: mentally just dominated.
8:00
Speaker 3: Yes, I can remember. It was Notre Dame two years ago.
8:04
Speaker 4: Here at Kyle Field.
8:05
Speaker 3: Here at Kyle Field.
8:06
Speaker 13: Yeah.
8:07
Speaker 4: But they still almost won the game.
8:09
Speaker 3: They still almost won the game.
8:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:11
Speaker 3: Because they played a little bit better offensively.
8:13
Speaker 10: Right.
8:14
Speaker 3: But if A & M had won that game 35-31...
8:20
Speaker 3: and the offense has scored two more touchdowns, which is
8:23
Speaker 3: putting the ball, not turning it over on the first
8:26
Speaker 3: drive where you had fourth and goal. You make that play.
8:30
Speaker 3: You're inside the 10-yard line at that point in time.
8:33
Speaker 3: There's an opportunity there. There's another opportunity later on where
8:37
Speaker 3: you hit a dropping linebacker right in the middle of
8:39
Speaker 3: the chest. If they had won that game 35-31, my
8:44
Speaker 3: questions would still be on the defense. What happened this week? defensively,
8:50
Speaker 3: all right? But here's the thing, Chip. You and I
8:55
Speaker 3: both think that Mike Elko can coach defense a little bit.
8:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:59
Speaker 3: Okay? The defensive coordinators and defensive coaches that A &
9:02
Speaker 3: M has had, since Jackie Sherrill, have had games where
9:07
Speaker 3: they didn't have a defense show up. If they have
9:11
Speaker 3: a defense with some talent... I have seen time and
9:15
Speaker 3: time again defensive coaches make adjustments.
9:18
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, a lot of defense, you have to
9:20
Speaker 1: have players.
9:21
Speaker 4: I don't care who you are.
9:22
Speaker 1: In this league, you've got to have players. But defense,
9:25
Speaker 1: more than anything else, is a lot of emotion too, right?
9:28
Speaker 4: Yes. I mean, you can make up for some things.
9:33
Speaker 1: You can't make up for receivers running 15 yards open.
9:37
Speaker 1: But you can make up for some things when you're
9:40
Speaker 1: playing with that kind of intensity.
9:43
Speaker 4: And they didn't do that.
9:44
Speaker 3: And I think they will have that intensity this weekend.
9:46
Speaker 1: My point. I mean, this is a circle the wagons game.
9:50
Speaker 1: I know it's early in the season. I get that.
9:52
Speaker 3: It's a circle the wagons game for both teams.
9:54
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:55
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's not. It is.
9:58
Speaker 4: It's early in the season.
9:59
Speaker 1: But, hey. nobody wants to be 0-2 in the league, right,
10:03
Speaker 1: to start the season.
10:04
Speaker 3: Nobody.
10:06
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it is a circle. And I expect
10:09
Speaker 1: that emotion. I expect them to show up.
10:12
Speaker 11: Ken?
10:14
Speaker 1: Mike Elko has said he thinks this is his best secondary.
10:18
Speaker 1: I tell you the thing that just I think surprised
10:22
Speaker 1: me Monday was him saying we were loose in practice.
10:29
Speaker 1: We never were comfortable with what we were supposed to
10:33
Speaker 1: do all week long. And I think that surprised me
10:39
Speaker 1: more than anything, right?
10:41
Speaker 3: Yes.
10:42
Speaker 1: For him to go back and say that, and hey,
10:45
Speaker 1: I love the honesty. I love that he didn't give
10:49
Speaker 1: you a lot of coach speak.
10:50
Speaker 3: He didn't talk about inches?
10:51
Speaker 4: I really enjoy that.
10:53
Speaker 3: He didn't talk about no inches?
10:54
Speaker 4: No, I really enjoy that.
10:57
Speaker 8: Yes.
10:57
Speaker 1: But to me, that is an astounding statement to make
11:02
Speaker 1: after you've been upset at home is, hey, We never
11:05
Speaker 1: felt comfortable with what we were trying to do all
11:09
Speaker 1: week long. I expect that to change this week, right?
11:16
Speaker 1: But you have an X factor. This kid ain't the
11:20
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback in the world, but he's a notch above
11:25
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia. But in terms of ability, but he competes
11:31
Speaker 1: like that, right? That's what this kid does for you.
11:35
Speaker 1: He competes like that. Now, I don't think in the
11:39
Speaker 1: SEC he can run wild all season long. I don't
11:42
Speaker 1: think he will, first of all. But I don't think
11:45
Speaker 1: he can. I think he'll get beaten up doing that.
11:49
Speaker 3: And on the flip side of that, You do have
11:51
Speaker 3: Marcel Reed feeling pretty confident whenever he's lined up against LSU.
11:56
Speaker 1: Well, I've talked about that, and I've thought about that, too.
11:59
Speaker 4: You know, he should be.
12:02
Speaker 3: Because they haven't tackled him yet.
12:03
Speaker 4: They have not.
12:04
Speaker 1: And there's something to be said for that, right? There's
12:07
Speaker 1: something to be said for some confidence.
12:08
Speaker 3: We do not know if LSU can actually— Tackle the
12:14
Speaker 3: running quarterback. It's been three years since they could.
12:17
Speaker 1: I tell you what, they should be able to because
12:20
Speaker 1: they've got one that does that in practice against them.
12:23
Speaker 3: They never see him in practice, Chip.
12:25
Speaker 4: Well, they're not hitting him.
12:27
Speaker 12: Right.
12:27
Speaker 4: I mean, I get that part.
12:29
Speaker 14: Right.
12:30
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they have a guy to practice against,
12:33
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying he runs as well as Marcel.
12:35
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the speed that Marcel does. But he runs.
12:40
Speaker 1: So that, you know.
12:41
Speaker 3: Marcel needs the weapons. He needs those guys.
12:46
Speaker 4: He does. He does. He just needs to be better
12:54
Speaker 4: in all phases.
12:55
Speaker 1: And, you know, they certainly have more than a shot.
13:01
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting. I think they're coming up
13:05
Speaker 1: against a much.
13:07
Speaker 1: A much better coached team than we've seen the last,
13:11
Speaker 1: you know, two years for sure.
13:15
Speaker 4: With some weapons. Again, they've lost a couple.
13:18
Speaker 3: They've lost a guy that very few teams in the
13:22
Speaker 3: SEC could cover.
13:23
Speaker 4: Nobody has this guy.
13:25
Speaker 3: Nobody.
13:26
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, and if you guys– you know–
13:31
Speaker 1: How many catches did he make last year?
13:33
Speaker 4: Wasn't many.
13:33
Speaker 3: No.
13:34
Speaker 1: You know, he got hurt, and I'm not sure at
13:36
Speaker 1: what point in the game he got hurt. I mean,
13:39
Speaker 1: I was watching, but I was flipping, so I don't
13:42
Speaker 1: remember at what point.
13:43
Speaker 4: See how many.
13:44
Speaker 1: Catches Trey Des Green had this last week against Ole Miss.
13:50
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy's a freak.
13:52
Speaker 15: Yes.
13:52
Speaker 4: I mean, a freak.
13:54
Speaker 3: He's like Pitts was at Florida four years ago.
13:57
Speaker 8: Yeah.
13:59
Speaker 3: Four receptions for 60 yards.
14:01
Speaker 4: Four for 60?
14:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, longest was 23.
14:04
Speaker 4: Okay. That's a huge loss.
14:06
Speaker 9: Yeah.
14:06
Speaker 4: No, it's a huge loss.
14:08
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big-time loss because he's, like I said,
14:13
Speaker 1: nobody's got the sky.
14:14
Speaker 3: And here's my other question is, Chip, what do you– okay.
14:22
Speaker 3: I don't know the team that I would say was
14:24
Speaker 3: the one that improved. Improved.
14:28
Speaker 4: Are you talking about the LSU Ole Miss game?
14:30
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about Kentucky. If Kentucky turns out to
14:34
Speaker 3: be Florida, this was a devastating loss for A &
14:39
Speaker 3: M that lingers on during the year. If Kentucky turns
14:46
Speaker 3: out to be a team that that was the first
14:49
Speaker 3: chance you got to see that they were a contender, then.
14:57
Speaker 3: You know, you can get away from that and say
15:05
Speaker 3: that was a team that we saw the first inclination
15:08
Speaker 3: of it.
15:08
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's who's on Kentucky's schedule, okay, coming up.
15:14
Speaker 1: This week, South Alabama, okay. The following week, they go
15:18
Speaker 1: to South Carolina. Two very winnable games.
15:23
Speaker 3: Yes.
15:24
Speaker 4: They host LSU.
15:27
Speaker 1: They go to Oklahoma, which doesn't look nearly as daunting
15:31
Speaker 1: as it did a couple, three weeks ago.
15:32
Speaker 3: Did he give a contract extension?
15:36
Speaker 4: He'll get another one if he can win a game. Okay.
15:40
Speaker 1: They host Vanderbilt. They go to Tennessee, who we'll find
15:48
Speaker 1: more about this week. They host Florida. They go to Missouri. And,
15:55
Speaker 1: of course, they end with Louisville.
15:59
Speaker 3: That's not a gauntlet like OU has got or something
16:03
Speaker 3: like that.
16:04
Speaker 4: But they've already played Alabama, right?
16:07
Speaker 1: I mean, when you throw in Alabama, then you know
16:10
Speaker 1: you have to come to College Station, and then you're
16:12
Speaker 1: hosting LSU, and you're going to Oklahoma, and you're going
16:16
Speaker 1: to Tennessee, and you're playing Florida. I mean, when that
16:21
Speaker 1: season started, and I did, you look at that with
16:24
Speaker 1: a new coach and where the program was, and you're going,
16:27
Speaker 1: Holy crud.
16:29
Speaker 4: Yes.
16:29
Speaker 1: But now, with Oklahoma being that, and again, don't know
16:35
Speaker 1: yet about Tennessee, it doesn't look quite as daunting that
16:43
Speaker 1: it did when the season started.
16:44
Speaker 4: Right.
16:45
Speaker 1: And again, we're early in the going. I'm interested in
16:50
Speaker 1: Missouri this week, right?
16:52
Speaker 4: Yeah. We don't know all the things.
16:56
Speaker 3: We don't know what Florida is. We know Florida has
16:59
Speaker 3: great running back.
17:00
Speaker 1: We know who the running back is, right? Beyond that,
17:06
Speaker 1: not sure. We know the running back. But we'll see.
17:14
Speaker 3: Do you really know anything about Tennessee?
17:17
Speaker 1: No, we don't. I don't know anything about Tennessee. Again,
17:22
Speaker 1: I think we'll know a little bit more Saturday. But
17:25
Speaker 1: I don't know them right now.
17:27
Speaker 3: I mean, do you expect Texas to play like they
17:29
Speaker 3: did last week at Tennessee this week?
17:31
Speaker 11: No.
17:33
Speaker 4: No. I don't.
17:34
Speaker 1: But I don't know who Texas is yet either. I
17:36
Speaker 1: know they beat a pretty good football team that I
17:40
Speaker 1: think is pretty good, that has lots of athletes, that
17:44
Speaker 1: were getting dominated for two and a half quarters, right?
17:47
Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
17:48
Speaker 4: So I don't know who Texas is yet.
17:50
Speaker 3: I mean, Tennessee has played Furman, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw State.
17:55
Speaker 4: Oh, I get it. I understand that.
18:00
Speaker 1: But yet, they're just a four-and-a-half-point underdog at home Saturday.
18:06
Speaker 4: And it started at seven-and-a-half.
18:08
Speaker 8: Right.
18:10
Speaker 4: They like that.
18:11
Speaker 3: And then they go Auburn and Arkansas after this game.
18:13
Speaker 4: So not bad, right, if they win this game.
18:16
Speaker 10: Right.
18:17
Speaker 4: Not bad.
18:17
Speaker 3: And then Alabama at home.
18:19
Speaker 11: Yep.
18:20
Speaker 3: At South Carolina, Kentucky, A & M, LSU, Vandy.
18:27
Speaker 11: Yeah.
18:29
Speaker 3: You know.
18:30
Speaker 4: Don't know. Don't know yet.
18:32
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about a lot of teams yet.
18:34
Speaker 1: We are not far enough into getting a handle.
18:39
Speaker 3: Are we going to have USC and Rutgers on CBS
18:41
Speaker 3: this week? We've got USC and Oregon.
18:47
Speaker 4: We got that going on Saturday night.
18:49
Speaker 3: That's better than USC and Rutgers.
18:51
Speaker 4: It is better than USC and Rutgers.
18:53
Speaker 3: And Piscataway, New Jersey.
18:54
Speaker 1: That's correct. I saw zero of that game. I saw
18:58
Speaker 1: the score. What was the score? I think it was
19:01
Speaker 1: about six points. It's like 42 to 36 or something
19:05
Speaker 1: like that. No, I'm not lying.
19:06
Speaker 3: Rutgers couldn't beat UMass, Chip.
19:08
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. What was the score?
19:10
Speaker 3: 42 to 35.
19:11
Speaker 11: Yeah.
19:11
Speaker 4: They scored 35 on USC.
19:12
Speaker 1: Oregon will score 60-burger on them.
19:18
Speaker 3: Do you think the quarterback is going to have a
19:19
Speaker 3: tell with how his feet are set up?
19:23
Speaker 1: He better not after they came out and said that.
19:26
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I just know what I've seen with
19:31
Speaker 1: my eyes so far, right? The teams that look good
19:35
Speaker 1: to me. Georgia hasn't played anybody. They haven't played anybody.
19:39
Speaker 1: But I know who Georgia is, okay? Miami hasn't played anybody.
19:45
Speaker 3: I would think those are the best two teams in
19:46
Speaker 3: the country.
19:47
Speaker 4: I know who Miami is, I think. right yes but
19:51
Speaker 4: they haven't played anybody they have not.
19:53
Speaker 1: Yeah we'll see the longhorns have played a.
19:59
Speaker 3: One and a half quarter of good football this.
20:02
Speaker 1: Year no doubt You know, there's no doubt. And they
20:06
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who is not accurate, okay? We have
20:10
Speaker 1: enough data in my mind right now that this is
20:14
Speaker 1: who he is.
20:15
Speaker 4: Now, is he clutch? We'll find that out more, too.
20:19
Speaker 1: But he appears to be a guy that when the
20:22
Speaker 1: game's on the line, he's going to get it done, right?
20:25
Speaker 1: In the biggest games, for the most part, he's done that.
20:28
Speaker 3: This year.
20:29
Speaker 1: Well, he did it last year, too. I mean, they
20:31
Speaker 1: got behind last year, and he led them, okay? He
20:36
Speaker 1: made plays. He made plays. People here know he made plays.
20:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made plays here.
20:41
Speaker 4: I mean, he can make plays. But is he accurate?
20:45
Speaker 11: No.
20:47
Speaker 1: I mean, he sprays the ball, and I keep going
20:49
Speaker 1: back to Coach Leach. I can teach him everything but accuracy.
20:53
Speaker 1: If a quarterback is not accurate, I can't teach that.
21:01
Speaker 3: Is there much difference between Manning and, besides, you know, here?
21:16
Speaker 3: I mean, they look very similar.
21:19
Speaker 4: You're talking about Marcel.
21:20
Speaker 3: But I don't want to just say Marcel.
21:23
Speaker 4: In terms of accuracy.
21:24
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think somebody else outside of these two
21:27
Speaker 3: because I think they're very close.
21:28
Speaker 4: Levin?
21:29
Speaker 3: When they're accurate.
21:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:32
Speaker 3: When both of those guys are accurate, the way they
21:34
Speaker 3: can run.
21:35
Speaker 4: But they play in spurts.
21:36
Speaker 8: Yes.
21:36
Speaker 12: Right?
21:37
Speaker 4: They're not consistent.
21:38
Speaker 1: Right.
21:38
Speaker 4: They're not consistent. Kevin Jennings.
21:43
Speaker 3: Okay.
21:43
Speaker 4: Okay, at SMU.
21:44
Speaker 10: Right?
21:44
Speaker 8: Yes.
21:45
Speaker 4: I think he's a heck of a quarterback. But he
21:47
Speaker 4: gives the ball to the other team.
21:48
Speaker 3: He gets the ball to the other team more than
21:50
Speaker 3: Arch or Marcel did.
21:51
Speaker 12: He does.
21:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gives the ball to the other team.
21:54
Speaker 3: But it's funny, in a league where sometimes you don't get.
21:56
Speaker 1: And they have a lot of talent, too. I mean,
22:00
Speaker 1: I still think SMU's a good football team. I think
22:02
Speaker 1: Louisville's a good football team. Are they national championship worthy? No,
22:06
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But they're good teams. They're solid, both,
22:11
Speaker 1: in my mind, top 15 program kind of teams.
22:14
Speaker 4: But I haven't seen enough of these.
22:19
Speaker 1: these top teams yet to know against each other. Every
22:24
Speaker 1: weekend we'll know a little bit more. And when we
22:26
Speaker 1: get about seven weeks into the season, I think we'll
22:30
Speaker 1: have a much better handle on who all these teams are.
22:34
Speaker 3: Oh, you have an accurate quarterback? Mateer?
22:38
Speaker 1: How about Mensah? That kid is unbelievable. He had his
22:43
Speaker 1: first 23 in a row the other night, I think.
22:46
Speaker 3: Wait, was he playing Florida A & M again?
22:48
Speaker 10: No, no.
22:49
Speaker 4: But he was playing, who was it, Wake Forest? I
22:53
Speaker 4: think it was Wake Forest. It doesn't matter.
22:56
Speaker 1: You know, if you're throwing against air, you better make
23:00
Speaker 1: every throw.
23:01
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
23:02
Speaker 3: Yes. It doesn't matter.
23:03
Speaker 1: I don't care who he's playing. This kid can throw
23:06
Speaker 1: the football. I don't care who Trinidad Chambliss is playing.
23:09
Speaker 1: He has jumped to my number one guy, and I
23:11
Speaker 1: saw this week.
23:12
Speaker 3: Over Mensah?
23:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, right now. Yes, he has. And it may come
23:17
Speaker 4: down to records and competition.
23:20
Speaker 1: We know that Chambliss' competition is going to be a
23:23
Speaker 1: notch better than what Minson's going to face all season long,
23:27
Speaker 1: for the most part. But those guys are accurate. And Chambliss,
23:34
Speaker 1: he's a wizard. There's a reason that.
23:36
Speaker 3: Then why didn't Kiffin play Chambliss to begin with?
23:43
Speaker 1: I think because I think a couple of things. I
23:46
Speaker 1: think the biggest reason was where he came from. And
23:49
Speaker 1: he had a guy he had groomed and thought that
23:51
Speaker 1: that was going to be the guy. But, hey, you
23:57
Speaker 1: know what quarterbacks, you know, try to get a quarterback
24:01
Speaker 1: and get that guy to be.
24:03
Speaker 4: I mean, that ain't a science. It's an art. I
24:08
Speaker 4: don't care what you say. And they hadn't figured that
24:12
Speaker 4: out in the NFL in 100 years yet either. They
24:15
Speaker 4: just haven't.
24:16
Speaker 1: So it's a hard position to play. When I see people,
24:21
Speaker 1: and you'll have a guy like this pop up. It
24:24
Speaker 1: happens every year like he did last year. And you go, oh,
24:27
Speaker 1: my gosh. He's got the it factor. But I would
24:31
Speaker 1: argue some of those guys you don't know until the
24:33
Speaker 1: lights turn on either, right? Until the bodies are crashing
24:37
Speaker 1: around you and things are going on.
24:39
Speaker 4: He, you know.
24:41
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to blame Kevin for not starting
24:43
Speaker 1: Trinidad Chandler.
24:45
Speaker 3: You do know Joe Tiller recruited a guy to start
24:49
Speaker 3: as a sophomore in front of Drew Brees after his
24:52
Speaker 3: first year at Purdue.
24:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:55
Speaker 3: He went out and got the best junior college quarterback
24:58
Speaker 3: in the country.
24:58
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is a bad example because he was overlooked
25:01
Speaker 1: his entire career.
25:02
Speaker 3: But, Chip, Joe Tiller– who knew a little offensive football,
25:07
Speaker 3: said to Drew Brees, I'm going to recruit a guy
25:10
Speaker 3: because I don't think you can win here.
25:13
Speaker 4: But again....
25:14
Speaker 3: Some guys, it doesn't matter.
25:16
Speaker 4: Some guys, it doesn't matter.
25:17
Speaker 3: But then I'm like, well, how could you not see him?
25:22
Speaker 3: Drew Brees tried to transfer back to A & M
25:24
Speaker 3: and TCU after his first year at Purdue.
25:29
Speaker 4: He was pretty good.
25:31
Speaker 5: Yeah.
25:32
Speaker 4: Would anybody take.
25:33
Speaker 1: Drew Brees right now like he was after his freshman
25:36
Speaker 1: year in college?
25:37
Speaker 3: Chip, people would take Drew Brees right now at his
25:40
Speaker 3: age if he could play in college.
25:42
Speaker 4: I guarantee they'd take him right now. And he's 104
25:45
Speaker 4: years old.
25:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
25:48
Speaker 4: See you next week.
25:49
Speaker 3: Make some changes.
25:50
Speaker 4: I'm going to make some changes.
25:51
Speaker 3: And that has to be in by when?
25:53

Speaker 1: Mallory is brought to us by Southwest Card World. What
31:10
Speaker 1: did we say yesterday? This Dolly deal is going to
31:14
Speaker 1: get ugly, Mallory. The estate requested a temporary restraining order
31:23
Speaker 1: against her nephew, Brian Seaver, after he was fired from
31:27
Speaker 1: providing security. We mentioned that part yesterday. Yeah. She's a
31:33
Speaker 1: live LLC.
31:35
Speaker 13: LLC.
31:36
Speaker 1: The entity Parton designed to protect her legacy after her death,
31:41
Speaker 1: I told you she had it all planned out, filed
31:44
Speaker 1: a lawsuit September 22nd, alleging that Seaver threatened to smear
31:50
Speaker 1: his aunt's legacy and made violent threats against several employees.
31:56
Speaker 3: Wow.
31:59
Speaker 1: This is just an aside, but I saw this today, too,
32:03
Speaker 1: that Dolly... when she was dying, didn't want anybody to
32:10
Speaker 1: come see her. Didn't want anybody to see her like that.
32:16
Speaker 1: And that'd be the last impression they had of her.
32:21
Speaker 1: This is so Dolly. The only person she allowed in
32:28
Speaker 1: the hospital room, her makeup artist. Yeah. well you know
32:36
Speaker 1: because she wanted she wanted to look good when she
32:39
Speaker 1: left well.
32:42
Speaker 10: I saw an interview it was a while ago that
32:45
Speaker 10: she did where she says that she doesn't take her
32:47
Speaker 10: makeup off yeah like when she's at home exactly what
32:50
Speaker 10: if an emergency happens in the middle of the night
32:52
Speaker 10: exactly she's like they can't see me like.
32:56
Speaker 1: This that is so dolly that is awesome Okay.
33:01
Speaker 11: So I believe her.
33:02
Speaker 18: I do, too.
33:04
Speaker 1: Since she died August 25th, her longtime manager, Danny Nozell,
33:08
Speaker 1: and Pinnacle Bank have overseen the administration and operations of
33:13
Speaker 1: her trust. According to People, the estate was granted a
33:19
Speaker 1: temporary restraining order against Seaver. Mr. Seaver began his campaign
33:26
Speaker 1: of threats, intimidation, and coercion a few weeks prior to Ms.
33:32
Speaker 1: Parton's passing. In writing, he vowed to, quote, destroy the
33:37
Speaker 1: entire brand and also told her entertainment attorney, I'm not
33:42
Speaker 1: an entertainment person, I'm a killer, end quote.
33:48
Speaker 10: Oh.
33:48
Speaker 1: Eek.
33:50
Speaker 11: They might want to take that video down.
33:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
33:54
Speaker 11: Of him being the one and not.
33:57
Speaker 4: And you know what?
33:58
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder, did he do that video on
34:03
Speaker 1: his own now? That question has to be asked, you know?
34:08
Speaker 1: Was he speaking for the family or was he speaking
34:11
Speaker 1: for him? Because no one had ever heard of this
34:15
Speaker 1: guy or seen this guy. Well, I guess the inner
34:19
Speaker 1: circle knew him, obviously, if he was part of her security.
34:23
Speaker 1: But it's like, you're a nephew? Why are you announcing
34:27
Speaker 1: Dolly's death? You know what I'm saying?
34:29
Speaker 10: Yeah, to everyone else, it was just a random guy
34:32
Speaker 10: popping up on.
34:33
Speaker 1: Dolly's Instagram page. So I'm kind of thinking now that
34:38
Speaker 1: maybe he did that on his own.
34:41
Speaker 11: Oh, this is going to get messy.
34:43
Speaker 17: Oh, no.
34:44
Speaker 4: It's a shame. It's a shame.
34:46
Speaker 11: She didn't deserve it.
34:47
Speaker 1: No, she didn't. I think she's done everything possible to
34:50
Speaker 1: prevent this sort of thing.
34:52
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
34:53
Speaker 11: Yeah, she deserved a couple months, guys.
34:54
Speaker 1: Come on.
34:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
34:57
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah.
34:59
Speaker 10: Ugh.
34:59
Speaker 8: Well.
35:02
Speaker 10: Geez, I don't even know how to transition from that.
35:04
Speaker 10: But let's talk about Taylor Swift because, man, Chip, you know,
35:07
Speaker 10: we just haven't.
35:07
Speaker 11: Gotten to talk about her much.
35:09
Speaker 4: No, we haven't.
35:10
Speaker 1: Since she got married, we've missed a lot of stories.
35:14
Speaker 11: Oh, well, guess what? She is extending the life of
35:17
Speaker 11: The Life of a Showgirl.
35:18
Speaker 1: Oh, good.
35:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, she has announced that The Life of a Showgirl,
35:22
Speaker 10: the encore, is a follow-up to her 12th studio album,
35:25
Speaker 10: The Life of a Showgirl, featuring.
35:27
Speaker 11: Four brand new songs.
35:29
Speaker 19: Wow.
35:29
Speaker 11: So the encore does drop.
35:32
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
35:35
Speaker 11: She explained new.
35:36
Speaker 10: Songs came together after she took a trip to Sweden
35:39
Speaker 10: to celebrate the success of the original album with her collaborators,
35:43
Speaker 10: Max Martin and Chillback. Really, we just wanted to reflect
35:47
Speaker 10: and take time and how grateful we were in the
35:50
Speaker 10: moment we were in. But there was a studio there
35:53
Speaker 10: and we did what we do when.
35:55
Speaker 11: We feel anything at all. We wrote more songs.
35:57
Speaker 10: I hope you love them because they were born out
36:00
Speaker 10: of pure gratitude for your exuberance and a celebration of the.
36:06
Speaker 1: Album you made. Here's why I think she's releasing these songs.
36:09
Speaker 1: You want to know why?
36:13
Speaker 11: Tell me.
36:13
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you.
36:14
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm ready.
36:15
Speaker 1: For this very reason.
36:19
Speaker 11: Allegedly.
36:20
Speaker 1: Ella Langley can't believe that her.
36:23
Speaker 18: Choosin' Texas song just shattered the A Billboard Hot 100
36:29
Speaker 18: record previously held by Mariah Carey.
36:34
Speaker 11: That is crazy.
36:36
Speaker 1: The 27-year-old country singer gleefully reacted to her Dandelion single
36:42
Speaker 1: becoming the longest running number one song in U.S.
36:48
Speaker 4: Music history.
36:53
Speaker 1: Wiping out Carrie's perennial holiday hit, All I Want for
36:58
Speaker 1: Christmas is You.
37:00
Speaker 12: For now.
37:01
Speaker 1: 23 weeks as number one. I'm genuinely trying to find
37:07
Speaker 1: the words to help explain what's going on in my brain,
37:10
Speaker 1: said Ella. She expressed shock. and confusion over the feed.
37:16
Speaker 1: After the rise of Choose in Texas over the last year,
37:20
Speaker 1: saw the song leap past prior benchmarks on all-time chart
37:25
Speaker 1: lists like Carrie, Boyz II Men, Justin Bieber, Lil Nas X,
37:31
Speaker 1: and more. Thank you for loving this song, for listening
37:35
Speaker 1: to it, she told her followers. I feel like I
37:37
Speaker 1: don't even know what to say at this point. I'm
37:41
Speaker 1: running out of hyperboles to describe how I feel, so
37:44
Speaker 1: I'll just let my dog in the background show you
37:47
Speaker 1: his excitement. Langley said the song is, quote, changing my
37:52
Speaker 1: life and changing the lives of the writers of this
37:57
Speaker 1: song and changing the lives of my family. In other words,
38:02
Speaker 1: she is going to the bank. It's truly growing an
38:07
Speaker 1: atmosphere for something I'm going to be able to do
38:11
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. In other words, if
38:15
Speaker 1: she doesn't have another hit, she's doing fine.
38:21
Speaker 10: I always wonder that, you know, those artists that like
38:24
Speaker 10: they're fair, like not she's released other music for this song,
38:27
Speaker 10: I'm sure.
38:28
Speaker 11: But like you get that one big break and then
38:30
Speaker 11: it's like, crap, we.
38:31
Speaker 1: Have to follow up. We got to do that again.
38:33
Speaker 11: What are we going to do?
38:35
Speaker 4: We got to do that again.
38:36
Speaker 11: But I think Miranda Lambert is a co-writer on that.
38:39
Speaker 11: I could be wrong, though. I feel like I heard that.
38:41
Speaker 1: She needs some money, too. So good for her.
38:44
Speaker 11: Well, congrats.
38:47
Speaker 1: Congrats to her.
38:49
Speaker 4: That is awesome.
38:52
Speaker 11: Yeah, crazy. Well, I don't.
38:56
Speaker 10: Know anything about this next story we're going to talk about,
38:58
Speaker 10: so we're all going to learn together.
38:59
Speaker 4: Okay.
39:01
Speaker 10: Patriots Day Freedom Fest, which is a conservative festival, was
39:05
Speaker 10: canceled days before it was set to take place in
39:07
Speaker 10: northern Kentucky and include speakers like Kid Rock. The festival's organizer, lawyer,
39:14
Speaker 10: and political commentator, Eric Dieter.
39:17
Speaker 11: Wait, was he all of those titles?
39:19
Speaker 4: I guess.
39:20
Speaker 11: I'm sorry. I was like, jeez.
39:23
Speaker 10: He announced the cancellation of the free event on September
39:26
Speaker 10: 21st via Facebook Live, revealing that only... six $ 1, 000 VIP tickets.
39:34
Speaker 11: Had been purchased.
39:35
Speaker 10: When I put together Patriot Day Freedom Fest, I put
39:39
Speaker 10: it together with the game plan and the idea that
39:41
Speaker 10: I could pay for it with a VIP sales.
39:45
Speaker 11: Of $ 1, 000.
39:46
Speaker 10: From these 100 people that I interact with on a
39:49
Speaker 10: regular basis.
39:50
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
39:53
Speaker 10: Dieter, who ran as a Republican for Kentucky governor in
39:59
Speaker 10: 2023 and for the state's fourth congressional district in 2024.
40:03
Speaker 1: In other words, he's lost two elections.
40:07
Speaker 10: And he is criticizing the lack of VIP sales.
40:10
Speaker 11: I want to tell you something. Rich people as a
40:13
Speaker 11: whole suck.
40:15
Speaker 4: That's funny.
40:17
Speaker 11: He confirmed he has no plans to revive the festival.
40:20
Speaker 1: He's really endearing himself to his voting base.
40:25
Speaker 11: Okay, so it.
40:26
Speaker 10: Did debut in 2022, and he said, I am never, ever, ever, ever,
40:33
Speaker 10: ever doing this event again, ever.
40:37
Speaker 4: And we all appreciate that, I think.
40:41
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know about it. You know, I
40:43
Speaker 1: usually know about all these festivals, you know what I'm saying?
40:47
Speaker 10: Well, you know, maybe if we lived in Kentucky or
40:49
Speaker 10: in a surrounding area, but thankfully we're in Texas.
40:52
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got I've got news on the new Tom
40:57
Speaker 1: Cruise film, right? Digger, coming out next weekend.
41:00
Speaker 11: You called that, by the way, the press tour with
41:02
Speaker 11: Taylor Swift. Look at you.
41:04
Speaker 1: Thank you. So, Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan,
41:13
Speaker 1: not together, attended the Digger Film and TV Charity Royal
41:20
Speaker 1: Film Performance.
41:22
Speaker 4: And Global Career.
41:25
Speaker 11: That was a mouthful.
41:26
Speaker 4: Premier.
41:27
Speaker 1: Not career. Global premier in London last night. And I can't,
41:35
Speaker 1: for the life of me, figure out where my invitation went.
41:42
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
41:43
Speaker 11: It must have gotten lost in the mail.
41:45
Speaker 1: So critics and journalists are sharing their first reaction to Digger.
41:52
Speaker 1: In which Cruise portrays an eccentric oil baron whose company
41:56
Speaker 1: sets off a world-altering crisis. It's received polarizing early response
42:05
Speaker 1: with widespread praise for Cruise and cinematographer Chivo, but mixed
42:14
Speaker 1: opinions on director Alejandro Gonzalez in a rear two. And
42:19
Speaker 1: he's made some weird movies. His style and execution. IndieWire
42:25
Speaker 1: suggests the director wasn't a good fit for the film's
42:30
Speaker 1: comedy aspirations, saying watching Alejandro Enrique try to construct a
42:37
Speaker 1: joke is like watching Frank Gehry try to draw a
42:41
Speaker 1: straight line.
42:43
Speaker 4: His colleague was more positive.
42:46
Speaker 1: Digger not only showcases Tom Cruise's best performance since Magnolia,
42:52
Speaker 1: it's one of the most visually inventive, conceptually audacious, and
42:58
Speaker 1: unpredictable studio movies ever made. Takes so many bold aesthetic swings,
43:06
Speaker 1: it makes Bardo look like.
43:07
Speaker 4: An episode of the Golden Girls.
43:10
Speaker 1: Variety.
43:11
Speaker 11: Variety.
43:12
Speaker 1: Called Riz Ahmed the MVP of the film, but described
43:17
Speaker 1: Iñárritu as a visionary, adding the production design is beautifully done.
43:22
Speaker 1: The film, quote, is not what people are expecting, which
43:29
Speaker 1: I was expecting a really weird film, which means how
43:33
Speaker 1: audiences react may be the ultimate test of Tom Cruise's
43:37
Speaker 1: star power. I respect the swing. And what he's going for,
43:44
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise and John Goodman are delivering stellar work. Sophie
43:50
Speaker 1: Wright made the show for me. And the production, design,
43:54
Speaker 1: and cinematography are impressive. In the end, not all the
43:59
Speaker 1: dots connect. And I wish the film leaned harder into
44:03
Speaker 1: the absurdity and satire it kept reaching for.
44:08
Speaker 9: Shocker.
44:09
Speaker 1: The divide on this one is going to be wide. So,
44:15
Speaker 1: sounds like one of those you're going to love it
44:17
Speaker 1: or you're going to hate it movies.
44:21
Speaker 11: It does seem that way.
44:23
Speaker 1: And look, looking at the trailer, which we've talked about,
44:27
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen it yet or not,
44:30
Speaker 1: but pull it up.
44:32
Speaker 10: Watch.
44:33
Speaker 1: It's like two minutes and 20 seconds.
44:36
Speaker 11: Okay.
44:37
Speaker 1: And You're going to go, and I already knew this.
44:40
Speaker 1: The hints were already there. This is weird, right? Cruise's
44:45
Speaker 1: character is weird. The movie is weird. I'm just telling you,
44:52
Speaker 1: it's going to be different.
44:58
Speaker 4: Let's say different.
45:01
Speaker 10: I'll look into it because I'm kind of confused by
45:04
Speaker 10: the descriptions that of everything.
45:07
Speaker 11: So, well, I'm not, it's not hard to do though.
45:10
Speaker 14: Nowadays.
45:11
Speaker 1: No, I'm not surprised. I mean, let me say this. Okay. I,
45:16
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at any of the reactions.
45:21
Speaker 4: I do expect some, you know, wonderful.
45:25
Speaker 1: And I expect some terrible, you know, I I've said before,
45:32
Speaker 1: I I'm not a big, Tom Cruise guy. But he,
45:40
Speaker 1: generally speaking, makes really good movies.
45:45
Speaker 11: He definitely puts himself out there.
45:47
Speaker 1: If you remember Tom Cruise in Birdman, that was a
45:53
Speaker 1: really weird movie. He did that movie. Just to, I mean,
45:59
Speaker 1: if people, you know, that was slightly more mainstream.
46:05
Speaker 4: So.
46:06
Speaker 1: This guy makes weird movies. I'm just going to tell you.
46:11
Speaker 10: You're either going to love it or hate it.
46:14
Speaker 11: So there's that.
46:17
Speaker 1: There's probably not going to be any in between on
46:21
Speaker 1: this one.
46:23
Speaker 10: To be fair, that is usually how it goes with
46:26
Speaker 10: the more unique, weirder kind of movies.
46:30
Speaker 4: There's no doubt. He did, by the way. He did
46:34
Speaker 4: The Revenant.
46:37
Speaker 1: As well. And I believe won an Oscar for that.
46:41
Speaker 1: He's won several Oscars, by the way.
46:45
Speaker 10: Yeah.
46:45
Speaker 1: So those those are going to be the two probably
46:50
Speaker 1: most known films that he's done. Birdman and The Revenant. So,
46:57
Speaker 1: you know, go go on your own. Like I'm saying,
47:01
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'm probably going to see it.
47:06
Speaker 11: I was about to say, are you going to see it?
47:08
Speaker 1: I think I might.
47:10
Speaker 4: I'm a little intrigued.
47:10
Speaker 11: Well, I think you have to now.
47:12
Speaker 1: I know.
47:12
Speaker 11: We ought to know. We need an update.
47:14
Speaker 1: I'm a little intrigued.
47:15
Speaker 4: That's all I'll say.
47:17
Speaker 11: Which I feel like is hard to do.
47:19
Speaker 8: It is.
47:21
Speaker 11: Claps to Tom Cruise and all of that. Yeah.
47:25
Speaker 10: Moving on, because I feel like Tom has taken up enough.
47:29
Speaker 1: Of our time. You're right.
47:31
Speaker 10: Bonnie XO is living her best life as she moves
47:35
Speaker 10: on from her divorce from Jelly Roll earlier this year.
47:38
Speaker 1: Best tramp.
47:40
Speaker 10: The Dub Blonde podcast host went social media official with
47:46
Speaker 10: her new boo.
47:47
Speaker 4: She's got another one?
47:49
Speaker 10: Cast member Dylan Wolf. To be fair, Jelly was cheating
47:53
Speaker 10: on her chip, okay? Like, she had to move on.
47:56
Speaker 4: Do we know that?
47:56
Speaker 19: Yeah.
47:58
Speaker 10: Yeah.
47:59
Speaker 11: It's been, like, out there and stuff.
48:01
Speaker 4: I think.
48:01
Speaker 1: Well, I know it's been out there, but did it happen?
48:03
Speaker 11: Now I'm second-guessing myself.
48:05
Speaker 10: I mean, we don't really honestly know anything that goes
48:08
Speaker 10: on in these people's lives, so let's be real.
48:10
Speaker 4: Right.
48:11
Speaker 11: Anyways, so she is.
48:13
Speaker 1: I do know this. Since Buddy XO and the role
48:18
Speaker 1: broke up, it's been all downhill for the role. Things
48:22
Speaker 1: have not gone well for him.
48:25
Speaker 11: No, they have not.
48:26
Speaker 9: And, you know.
48:30
Speaker 1: Not my problem.
48:31
Speaker 4: I hope he can make a comeback.
48:33
Speaker 1: Just listen to me. Justin Bieber, you know, we've talked
48:39
Speaker 1: about he's on a Super Bowl short list for the
48:41
Speaker 1: halftime show, but you'll never guess where he was earlier
48:44
Speaker 1: this week.
48:46
Speaker 11: Was it at a game?
48:47
Speaker 12: Nope.
48:48
Speaker 1: He was at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles giving a
48:51
Speaker 1: free concert. Impromptu performance.
48:55
Speaker 12: Okay.
48:56
Speaker 1: Sang some of his hits. in front of a stunned crowd,
49:03
Speaker 1: took time to pose for selfies, meet some of his
49:06
Speaker 1: younger fans. Less than two weeks ago, the Biebs rang
49:12
Speaker 1: in his eighth wedding anniversary with Haley.
49:16
Speaker 16: Wow.
49:17
Speaker 4: Eight years.
49:19
Speaker 1: Man, if you had eight years on the over-under list,
49:22
Speaker 1: you would have won that bet. And I would have
49:25
Speaker 1: lost that bet.
49:27
Speaker 11: Yeah, because they got married really quick. Well, we don't
49:30
Speaker 11: know how long they were together.
49:31
Speaker 3: Right, right.
49:31
Speaker 11: From what it seemed.
49:33
Speaker 10: Right. Yeah.
49:34
Speaker 1: I mean, that's cray-cray.
49:35
Speaker 11: That's super cray.
49:37
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
49:38
Speaker 11: So crazy.
49:41
Speaker 4: You go, Biebs.
49:44
Speaker 11: You did it.
49:45
Speaker 10: Congrats, guys.
49:46
Speaker 3: Congrats.
49:46
Speaker 4: Eight years.
49:47
Speaker 10: That's like 50 years in Hollywood.
49:50
Speaker 1: How about this? A new chapter of Survivor begins with
49:56
Speaker 1: season 51. Now, what that means is they call it
50:00
Speaker 1: season 51, but it has been on 25 years, which
50:03
Speaker 1: is hard to believe.
50:05
Speaker 12: Right?
50:05
Speaker 1: They do two of these things a year, right?
50:08
Speaker 11: Yeah, I remember one survivor. You said survivor, right?
50:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, survivor.
50:13
Speaker 11: I remember when that show came out and I was
50:15
Speaker 11: in fourth grade. So the fact that I am not
50:20
Speaker 11: near that anymore.
50:21
Speaker 1: Starts tonight, 7 o'clock on CBS. Jeff Probst is set
50:27
Speaker 1: to return as the host. 21 new castaways stranded on
50:32
Speaker 1: the beaches of Fiji. Oh, how hard could that be,
50:36
Speaker 1: being stranded in Fiji?
50:40
Speaker 10: Do you think the Survivor cast and the cast members
50:43
Speaker 10: from Naked and Afraid have beef?
50:46
Speaker 4: I think they should have beef.
50:49
Speaker 1: I think the Naked and Afraid people are going, hey,
50:52
Speaker 1: you're getting paid more than we are, and we have
50:54
Speaker 1: to take our clothes off.
50:56
Speaker 11: Oh, you get a tube top?
50:58
Speaker 4: You're in Fiji?
50:59
Speaker 1: You're in Fiji?
51:00
Speaker 11: Wow.
51:01
Speaker 1: We're in the jungle, man.
51:03
Speaker 12: Wow.
51:07
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some birthdays, can we?
51:11
Speaker 11: We can try.
51:12
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. To all the girls I've loved before,
51:16
Speaker 1: Julio Iglesias is 83 today. Can you believe that? Paul
51:23
Speaker 1: Peterson from the Donna Reed Show is 81. Mary Kay
51:25
Speaker 1: Place is 79. Bruce Springsteen is 77 today. How about that?
51:40
Speaker 11: I'm only laughing. This isn't funny, but I thought he
51:43
Speaker 11: had died.
51:45
Speaker 1: You thought Bruce Springsteen had died?
51:47
Speaker 11: I got him confused.
51:49
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Now, we've done this before. But Bruce
51:54
Speaker 1: Springsteen is very much alive.
51:56
Speaker 11: Bruce is alive.
51:57
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Bruce. That would be news to him
52:00
Speaker 1: if he died. And to his family.
52:03
Speaker 11: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Bruce. Happy birthday.
52:07
Speaker 1: George Costanza, Jason Alexander, 67 today.
52:11
Speaker 10: I'm afraid to say it, Eve.
52:16
Speaker 1: Shy McBride, all these people are alive, Mallory, I promise you.
52:20
Speaker 1: I know. At least right now as we're talking. Shy
52:23
Speaker 1: McBride is 65 today.
52:25
Speaker 4: Oh, gosh.
52:29
Speaker 11: Okay. Jermaine Dupri.
52:34
Speaker 1: No way.
52:35
Speaker 11: Rapper, producer, record head. Jermaine Dupri is 54.
52:38
Speaker 4: I never would have guessed that.
52:39
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was a day over 53.
52:40
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you.
52:42
Speaker 11: Turns out.
52:43
Speaker 1: Turns out he is.
52:45
Speaker 4: Yeah.
52:45
Speaker 11: One day, though.
52:46
Speaker 1: Let me do tomorrow's birthday since Wayne here. Gordon Clapp
52:49
Speaker 1: from NYPD Blue is 78. He was the redhead detective.
52:56
Speaker 4: Let's see.
52:57
Speaker 1: Oh. Nia Vardalos, who did My Big Fat Greek Wedding,
53:02
Speaker 1: 64 today. She was really young when she wrote that movie,
53:06
Speaker 1: by the way.
53:11
Speaker 4: No.
53:13
Speaker 1: Oh, no, no.
53:15
Speaker 4: I thought I knew somebody I didn't.
53:17
Speaker 1: Oh, Ben Platt. Ben Platt's got a lot of talent.
53:21
Speaker 11: Yeah.
53:21
Speaker 1: Actor, singer.
53:22
Speaker 4: Yeah. He's pretty good.
53:25
Speaker 1: He's 33 today.
53:25
Speaker 4: 33.
53:30
Speaker 11: Okay.
53:30
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all we got.
53:36
Speaker 11: I'm so sorry.
53:39
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen is still alive. Let's leave the audience with
53:43
Speaker 1: that one.
53:43
Speaker 11: I was getting him confused with Jimmy Buffett. That was
53:45
Speaker 11: my fault.
53:46
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett is not alive.
53:49
Speaker 13: I know.
53:50

Speaker 13: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
54:39
Speaker 13: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
54:42
Speaker 13: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
54:44
Speaker 13: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
54:47
Speaker 13: They showed me my options. They told me what my
54:50
Speaker 13: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
54:53
Speaker 13: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
54:56
Speaker 13: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
54:59
Speaker 13: the cleanup, and I had my new roof.
55:00
Speaker 9: In one day.

Speaker 4: Schulte Roofing, the home of.
55:05
Speaker 1: The bulletproof roof.

Speaker 15: I'm Joshua Price with your Rangers report.
55:10
Speaker 3: Rangers started a.
55:11
Speaker 15: New series with the New York Mets. Could they get
55:13
Speaker 15: the win to keep their playoff hopes alive?
55:15
Speaker 1: More after this.
55:17
Speaker 12: Digging without contacting Texas 8-1-1 first could cost more than

55:24
Speaker 12: you avoid damaging underground utilities like electric or gas lines.

55:31
Speaker 12: to contact 8-1-1. Whether installing a fence or working on
55:34
Speaker 12: a construction site, contacting Texas 8-1-1 is the law. It's quick, free,

55:48
Speaker 15: The Rangers fell yesterday to the New York Mets, a
55:51
Speaker 15: team already eliminated from the playoffs. The Rangers tied the
55:54
Speaker 15: score at 1-3 off a Josh Young RBI double scoring
55:58
Speaker 15: Danny Jensen. Elias Diaz had to tie the score again
56:02
Speaker 15: at 2 with his RBI sack fly scoring Brandon Nimmo.
56:05
Speaker 15: And it was this Wyatt Langford RBI sack fly to
56:08
Speaker 15: take the lead 3-2.
56:08
Speaker 4: The pitch to Langford.
56:11
Speaker 1: And a high drive hit to left field. That'll score
56:14
Speaker 1: a run.
56:14
Speaker 4: Back goes Soto.
56:15
Speaker 1: Makes the catch on the front of the track.
56:18
Speaker 15: The lead would last until the sixth inning as a
56:20
Speaker 15: Francisco Alvarez 2-RBI double would put the Mets up 2.
56:24
Speaker 15: And the Rangers couldn't find anything else as they lost 6-3.
56:28
Speaker 15: This loss pushes the Rangers out of the AL West lead,
56:31
Speaker 15: and the Rangers look to reclaim it tomorrow at 7.05 p.m.
