  Speaker 1: to have you with us, Happy to be alongside you today,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: as well as our producer Jay Herman. Did he get
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: all the issues is the word I will use? All

  Speaker 1: the issues resolved in your apartment building.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Jake Carbon, Oh, if it were only so simple, Craig,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon to you too. And they are actively investigating
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: as we talk to you this afternoon. Really, why the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: heck my shower pipe seemed to be so squeaky?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Also that all right yesterday now, and we talked about
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that last week. Wasn't there another issue that that that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the that the tenancy no you told us about? Like
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: there was an invitation from building management because it's been
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a rough go of late for everybody, so they're inviting
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: them all down for a reception.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, that's just what everybody wants, right, A free
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's a free meal. There's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: there's some refreshments in the in the small lobby of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: our apartment because look, yeah, I don't I don't ask
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: for much. But the h the maintenance man up and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: left in the spring, and it took him until about
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a month ago to bring a full time replacement on.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So everybody's been backed up. My shower squeaking, My ac
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is dying, Craig, is it really the they it does?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It does not keep up, and they keep putting band
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: aids on it and band aids on it, so it is, uh,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it is patchwork over there. So I'm not so sure
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that a free cup of coffee or whatever they're offering
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: quite makes up for it. But uh, you know what,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: maybe it's the thought that counts.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a start anyway we'll put it. We'll put
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it that way. But you do know that this week
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will mark our first stream of one hundred degree days.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Uh, some little concern for you there. Hopefully you're ac
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: otherwise you may be living up here for a few days.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You know. Hey, look, I mean this this is a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: very I mean very nice office.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is, lots of couches and stretch out space
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and things like that. Even in the lobby if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: had to grab a nap out there or something, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it might be all right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And they told me getting into sports radio, the work
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: life balance could be thrown off a little bit. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: don't think living at the office, that's not that, that's.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Not what they what you had in mind with regard
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to that. Well, I worried about that when I heard
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: about when I was watching the weather as watching something
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or earlier this morning and watching what the weather forecast
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was going to be like for the next several days.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think today's high projectors ninety seven. But
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it's only going to get warmer as we move further
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: away from moisture and by the way, eventually moving toward moisture,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: which is that tropical storm Bertha that is that is
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the Gulf.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Now we're only on the bees still the beginning of well.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: They save several they do. They like there's bees and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: then they may jump to a D or an F
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever they come back have they Have you ever
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: been Have you ever been aware of a tropical storm?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Jacob or Jacob not?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Well, no, And I apologize if there has been a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: big one, the big ones we had growing up on
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the East coast where Irene and Sandy.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, but I don't think I can ever remember
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a tropical storm Jake or Jake. I don't remember a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: tropical storm Craig. I don't remember if if there's ever
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been one of those that I know of, So you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it's it's possible.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It looks like there was a tropical cyclone Craig in
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: two thousand and three. Okay, the north coast of Australia.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, well maybe they've already spent it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: on that. Then I can't roll it back around. I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: don't know anyway, it's it's gonna get warmer this week
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and then there may be some moisture coming in, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it just depends on the path that the storm takes,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and it might not get here to the Greater Ostin area.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Tampa's gotten some rain at the start of the SEC
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: media days, but now the storm's moved away from the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Florida coast, so they'll probably be just typical Tampa late
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: July weather, hot, muggy, and humid. And we'll be there
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and Thursday we fly in tomorrow. Thursday be the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: day that we bring you the programs from there, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Thursday courses the day that the University of Texas will
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: be taking part of that long horn players you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback Arch Manning, defensive edge rusher Colin Simmons, and offensive
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: tackle Trevor Gooseby. They will all be there, and of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: course head coach Steve Sarkisian. I'll have my one on
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: one conversation with Stark there at the SEC Football Media
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Days as well. So that'll be coming on Thursday, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we'll look forward to bringing you that the program from
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: down there. So Jake will be in here tomorrow to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bring you the program and then again on Friday as
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be flying back returning back. So Jake will be
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with you tomorrow and you'll have SEC Media Days oriented
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: things as part of your program tomorrow.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yep, we'll bring you some SEC Media Days sound
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: particularly if it pertains to Texas. Will be on the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: lookout for some of that. We'll talk to some folks
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: who are down there bring it and also coming up
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and you'll hear it later tonight on Bucky and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: BK's program. Phil Steel's going to join them at six o'clock. Good,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and so we'll bring you any Texas related cuts from
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that on the program.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Here excellent good idea on that. So here's what we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: have on the program today, we're gonna hear from some
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: who have been a part of SEC media days, including
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: today the Georgia Bulldogs, who, depending on which you know
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: preseason evaluation that you examine, Georgia would be the favorite
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: twin the SEC.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Those who were not.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Apparently those who are not picking Georgia are picking Texas
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and vice versa. So there's a lot of conversation about that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I should tell you this. The actual media pre season
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: poll of folks who cover SEC football, the actual pole,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I think, will come out Friday, just for the SEC,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: not the AP preseason poll or the you know coaches pol. No,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the AP pole will come out in August, usually around
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: mid August, I think, but the SEC preseason ballot will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: come out with the preseason poll of the teams who
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they picked to win the conference all the way down
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to sixteen one through sixteen. I think most people seem
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to think Arkansas will be in the sixteen slot with
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: coaching change they had and not an awful lot of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: talent returning that are coming off of what they did
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: go to and ten last year. I think, so we'll see,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but they'll have the preseason poll out of all sixteen
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: teams preseason All Conference team, so they'll have that, So
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that'll be a part of it, and that I believe
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: will come out Friday, the day after the preseason after
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the SEC media days conclude, which will be on Thursday.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll be down there on Thursday
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: along with the Longhorns and Sark on Thursday. So that'll
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: happen then. And but today you'll hear from Kirby Smart.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Also yesterday the sound bite here from Taylor Wyne, the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma edge rusher as well. Oklahoma took part yesterday. Also
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Kentucky took part. It was interesting and refreshing to here
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Will Stein, the new head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. Yeah,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that's the same guy. Was the offensive coordinator at Lake
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Travis back several years ago, and he was on Charlie
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Strong's staff and has risen up through the ranks. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: there was a sound bite and I don't know if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you have it, jac or can locate it, but it
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it and if so, we'll play it for you coming
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: up where he demonstrates his confidence in being able to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: win at a program that historically has not been successful.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Mark Stoops had been there as long as anybody as
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: head coach and ultimately was given the gate. But so
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you do have this, this is uh will Stein.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll hear a question and then and then his answer.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You're talking about. Yeah, so this this came down yesterday
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on the first day of media days. Here's will Stein.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: He said, you came here because you can believe you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: can win here.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Why is that Kentucky historically has fought against a narrative,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: against perception.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Why do you think you can win big here?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: This is going to sound like, really, I think because
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: of me to be honest, because I mean, I think
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I know what it takes. I've seen at the highest levels.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I know what it takes to recruit at this level.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And you just got to believe. Man, you just got
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: to put the ball down in play. There's not really
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: else to be said. Is it going to happen overnight?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: I really don't.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: If I had a crystal ball, everybody in this room
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: would be really really rich.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Right now, I don't.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: And so the best determination of.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: If what you're doing is working is putting the ball
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: down and playing football.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: And so there's gonna be bumping rows.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I mentioned it in the speech, like I'm prepared for
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: tough moments and tough times. I have succumb to that
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: in our process.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I already do self talk myself about, all right, how
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: can I stay neutral when stuff's bad? I can stay
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: as neutral as possible and be very diplomatic.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: In my approach.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: So that's why I mean, growing up a fan is great.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: It is one thing, but I know the players that
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: we can get here. I know that we can recruit North,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: South and East. People come to Lexington and love it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I mean the longer I live there, the longer I'm like, Wow,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: this place is incredible.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: It's got everything that you want.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Great food, great nightlife, great community, great university, it's safe,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: got big blue nation.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It just takes some TLC and you got to go attack.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: You can't sit back and wait.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: That's one thing I refuse to do at Kentucky is
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the wait. And so I'm really excited about our administration,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the direction that it's going.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I said, I was so fired up that Mitch brought
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: me here. I'm also excited about what the future holds,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: and so that's why I'm excited. That's why I believe,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: or else I wouldn't have taken the job. I would
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: have stayed out of Oregon and coach Dante and.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Stayed out there.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So he had been very successful as the offensive
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: coordinator there at Oregon, he was talking about, but he's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: thirty six years of age, second youngest coach leading a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Power four team. Of course, he was the offensive coornated
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: at Oregon for three prior seasons. Was the o C
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: at ut s A at twenty twenty two, and then
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: prior to that, it was at Lake Travis. And it's funny,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he also said in that news conference, he talked about
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the things he learned while being on Hank Carter staff
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: at Lake Travis and and how everybody knew what they
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: were doing, and it was it was like during this
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: great run when when the Lake Travis you know, had
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the drive for five and and uh, you know when
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: they had Baker Mayfield and they had all this and uh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: when they had Garrett Wilson later and you know, all
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the all the great players who have who have come
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: through there. So he uh, he talked about that and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and what a big factor that was. It's going to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: be a difficult ride for them, clearly, you know, after
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: starting off just looking at their schedule, Uh, they they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: start with Youngstown State.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Second game the.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Year is Alabama that's at home. Then they go to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: College Station and play A and M. Then they get
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: South Alabama at home. Then they go to South Carolina LSU,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and they got to go to Oklahoma, the Vanderbilt at home,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they got to go to Tennessee, they get Florida home,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they go to Missouri and they go to Louisville. Can
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: be tough schedule for them, but he exudes confidence. You
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: can hear that in his voice, how confident he is
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that he can get it done at Kentucky. So Kentucky
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was a part of it yesterday. Oklahoma was a part
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of it yesterday. We're going to hear, like we said
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: from Kirby Smart here and from some others that have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: taken part in sec football media days, We're going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: talk baseball on the four o'clock hour. At one segment
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of it with Geene Watson, our MLB insider from the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox front office. Get is like the White
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Sox are in sole possession of first place in the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: American League Central as they prepare to play their one
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: hundred game of the season tonight. Now, let's be honest,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: two years ago, could anybody have possibly imagined that? Would
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they lose one hundred and twenty one games two years ago?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Something inconceivable like that? Yeah, so amazing. They lost more
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: games than any team in Major league history. Now two
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: years later, here they are in first place two thirds
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of the way through the season. So we'll visit with
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Geene Watson to talk not only about the White Sox,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: will ask about the Astros and the Rangers, and the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: American League West, the wild card races, and the trade
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: deadline that is not that far around the corner. We're
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: inside of two weeks till the trade deadline. It's Monday,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the third is the trade By the way, Monday, August
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: third is also marked on my calendar. I've been summoned
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: for jury duty. Oh no, we'll see if I wind
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: up having to serve, but I do have to report wort.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: On on Monday, August third. I'll be reporting back to Washington,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: d C.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll be back at DC, won't.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: You catch it up with some families and friends. So wow,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: we need the law and order music for your experience
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, anyway, So that's why that date was sticking
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: out of my mind.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You ever had to serve on a jury. No, I've been.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I've had several summons, and.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Every time I wasn't I think only once was I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: even in the pool that kind of made the first
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: cut or whatever. Every other time my number was too
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: far out, they didn't need it, or the case got
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: dismissed or something.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I'm picturing. Who's the lawyer that wants Craig Way on
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: their jury?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, there's there is the there is the concern.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I've heard this before about a medium memory being on
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the jury, especially if it's a trial that might take
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: an extended amount of time. That sometimes can be about.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I have no nothing against uh being on a serving
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on a jury. It's a constitutional duty, you know, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a right and I don't have I don't have a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: problem with that. It's just, you know, my schedule is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's difficult. But we'll see. We've got one other
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: thing I want to get to today. Do you know

  Speaker 2: You had a sandwich, little roast beef sandwich.

  Speaker 1: Okay, all right? Is that your favorite sandwich to eat?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: If you if you had a chance to eat your
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: choice of a sandwich, what would it be? And while
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you ponder that, I'll put that to the listeners as well,
• 16:59

• 17:02
  Speaker 1: of twelve of the most iconic sandwiches on the planet,

  Speaker 1: Now, Okay. On the text line as well, I'll tell
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you what before we get to that, there was an
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: NFL note or two that I wanted to get to.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: First of all, for those of you who were fans
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of cam Scattaboo, I counted myself among that. I saw it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Of course, Texas had that epic double overtime Peach Bowl
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: win over Skataboo and Arizona State in Atlanta a couple
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of years back, but i'd seen him earlier that year
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: when they had the Thursday night game in San Marcus
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: when they played Texas State. I actually spotted for my
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: good friend Tim Healey, the play by play voice of
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Arizona State Sun Devils. He he called me trying
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to line up a spotter because his son, like my son,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: in spots for me. His his oldest son, could not
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: make the trip and said, is there somebody recommend I said, well,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm dood. He's like, no, what's it? Yeah? What I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was thinking about coming of the game anyway.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Really? Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: You know Mike Turrico spotted last week too, That's right,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: he did. Did I heard about that, So.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's somewhere down I spotted for him and Scataboo impressed
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: me that night, and he obviously impressed everybody with what
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he did in that Peach Bowl game against Texas. Remember
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: he got hurt last year and he he's also because
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he's so athletic, he does backflips and he failed to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: stick the landing on a back flip and he landed
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: awkwardly on that surgically repaired right ankle. And an appearance
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: at Fanatics Fest on Saturday, there was video of him
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: attempting that trademark backflip. It went viral left he fell
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: on the ground while trying to land the flip. So
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he as he said, addressed the elephant in the room
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and another Fanatics fan appearance, he said, he's good to go.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: He promised not to hurt myself before the season. He
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: blamed the botched flip on the bouncy floors.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: So gues me too, kim me too. That's what stopped me.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I had him on my fantasy team and he'd really
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: done well for me, like two or three. I picked
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: him up as a free agent. He didn't well until
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he got hurt.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I play in a dynasty league, and nobody quite knows
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: what to do with him, because what are you going
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to get?
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: You don't know how long is that career given his
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: style of play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: That's true. So it was an NFL that I wanted
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to get to. Okay, Now I mentioned that today is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: National Sandwich Day. The origin of the sandwich itself, many No,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: was developed by the Yes, the Earl of Sandwich in England,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: who wanted an easier way to eat I think it
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was chicken, I think it was, and put it between
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: slices of bread or pieces of bread and it kind
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of caught on.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: So not all British food ideas are bad.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: No, this was I think back in the eighteenth century
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: when he did it. So it's called the sandwich, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: so we're customer calling it sandwich or some like to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: just say sandwiches. Sandwich at a list of the twelve
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: not the twelve most popular or iconic, but twelve of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the most iconic sandwiches. One thing that struck me when
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I read this lesson. Sure enough I read more about it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: These are very regionally rooted. So where you grew up, Washington,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: DC area, what would have been a regional sandwich that
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: was big there.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing about DC food is it comes from everywhere,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: right right. I mean you get like the Mumbo sauce
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and that whole DC food scene, but really it's known
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: for being a melting pot of food when it comes
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: to the sandwich.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to tell you right now, I love
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the crabcake sandwich from Phillips to Baltimore on the Inner Harbor.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: See yeah, I'm playing. I'm playing with a hand behind
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: my back on that one. But with the allergies and all,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: we have to make every food segment about that. But
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: it is unfortunate.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You know what we're going to do account on here
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on how many of these twelve sandwiches you can't eat
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, I bet I can eat ten of them? I no,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I bet I bet you I can eat nine.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: A let's see's got to be on there. It's not, Oh,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it's not there. These are on a grander scale. If
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you're just talking about your regular run in the mill,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: put something that you got in your pantry and your
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: fridge between two slices of bread. I'm there with you.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Bab's gonna be right there with me. And a toasted
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: pomenta cheese sandwich stuff a few potato chips in it
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: inside after the bread's anyway, all right? So these are
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: listed as twelve of America's most iconic sandwich is not
• 24:26

  Speaker 2: I love an Italian sandwich, but I can't always do
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: more to della.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, all right, so that's a half you
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: get half credit on that. Uh, French tip could do that, yeah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: they say classically out of la roasted beef sandwich served
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: on the French roll, with a defining feature being the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: side of aju used to dip the sandwich into before everybody.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but bonus points if you get a little horse radish. Yes, okay,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: how about a Nashville Hot chicken. Yeah, I'm a little
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: whososy on that. I'm kind of tough on the hot,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the spicy on that. But I had one with the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: basketball team. They had some Nashville hot chicken. It wasn't
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: too bad when we were there for the SEC tournament.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But your classic Nashville hot chicken is is really a
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: burn up your mouth.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised you don't like spicy food. You're an adventurers eater.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It depends on the spice. Like I love horse radish,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I love with SABBI can't handle halapenia, can't handle you
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: know that, the cayenne pepper. That's kind of tough for me.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: That would be part of that hot chicken. Now, I
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: never heard of this, but apparently it's a big thing
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo, New York. The beef on you know what
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that is?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: No, and I even have some distant relatives up in Buffalo.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: All Right, you ask him about a beef on weck weck,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you what it is. It's a local specialty,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: thin sliced roast beef, as many of these sandwiches are.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, this looks.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Delicious piled on a kummel weck roll, which is topped
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: with coarse salt and caraway seeds serve with the hearty
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: side of horseradish.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not really a caraway seed guy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Really, that's a deal.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Seed.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a deal breaker, but I remember
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: caraway seeds tasting odd. It's not going to ruin the sandwich,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: but I'd probably rather leave.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Them off, okay. And then finally, the famous hot brown
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: You ever had a hot brown? Really centered in Louisville
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Open Faced Sandwich created the Brown Hot Hotel in nineteen
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: twenty six, one hundred years ago. Features roasted turkey and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: bacon over Texas toes, completely smothered in a rich, bubbling
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: morn a cheese sauce and broiled.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that's something's gonna be hot brown after
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I eat that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You can't eat that? Oh I could? Oh the dairy Yeah?
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Probably okay?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: So then the probably delicious the final count on the ones.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You can eat. You can eat the Philly cheese steak,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you can eat the pastrami on rye, you can eat
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the ruben. You can have the Poe Boy if you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: get it with roast beef. The let's see you eat
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the Cuban, you eat the Italian beef. The muffle letta
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: has to be careful with the with the mortadella. You
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can eat the French dip, you can eat the hot chicken,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you can eat the beef on weck and you can

• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Eight and if you said nine, you went with the

• 31:56
  Speaker 1: If you have with the roast beef, you can't. That's

  Speaker 1: to this program for years here when I was here
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: at the Zone the first time from nineteen ninety seven
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to January twenty seventeen, almost twenty full years, and then
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: across town and then back over here for going on
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: three years. Now, know that one thing that we have
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: done on this program or whatever program I was co
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: hosting or hosting throughout the course of these last twenty
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: eight years, is to give away copies of Dave Campbell's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Texas Football magazine, The Bible Is many call it there.

• 33:38
  Speaker 1: weekly conversations our Tuesdays with Tepper. Greg Tepper, the editor

  Speaker 1: in chief of the magazine, will join us each week.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So we give these away and our shipment they were
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a little later in getting them out to the printer
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, but we've got we
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: have copies of it. Now they've been on the shelves
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: for about three weeks because it came out like right
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: when I was leaving to go on vacation, and I'm
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a subscriber to the magazine as well. In fact, as
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: my actual subscription copy that came to the mail it
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: literally landed on my doorstep the morning we were leaving town,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: So it was good timing. I got in a lot
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of good reading on vacation from DCTF at Dave Campbell's
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Texas Football Magazine, and we give away copies usually somewhere
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: between thirty and forty copies that are given to us
• 34:42

• 34:49
  Speaker 1: who's kind of really he's the major domo over there.

  Speaker 1: But we've been giving away copies for almost thirty years,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and we're going to do it again, primarily in the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: month of August, but we may start that final week
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: in July. We'll see on that and usually it boils
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: down and we give away a copy of the magazine

• 35:10
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you how you can win a copy. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: can tell you right now. It's going to be through

• 36:24
  Speaker 1: back is in the gatefold cover of that. So anyway,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to give away copies of that. Just wanted
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to let you know that is coming. We had and
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: forgotten about you. Just wanted to make sure that we
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: want say anything until we got the ship meant in,

  Speaker 1: so it's in and we'll let you know about that
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: when we have that. As I mentioned, you will earn
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that if you want to win a copy by virtue
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: of use of the iHeart Radio app. And that's very simple,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: as I pointed out, all you do is download the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app on your smartphone, whether it's an iPhone
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: or an Android. It's a little red button there with
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the white heart on that's the iHeart logo on that.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Once you get it downloaded, you do a search for
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen under the zone and it'll pop right up,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and then you push a little red button with a
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: white microphone in it that triggers and activates the talk
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: back microphone and then you can leave us a message
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: ab up to thirty seconds. Here's an example of this.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Now in the first hour of the program, this being
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: National Sandwich Day, I pose the question, what is your
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: favorite sandwich. I ran down twelve of the most iconic sandwiches,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and we'll review that. And here's some other things off
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the text line. But I asked what is your favorite sandwich?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: So here is a response to that through the iHeartRadio
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: app with our talk back feature. And again this is
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: going to be how you have the opportunity to win
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: a copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine by downloading
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app searching AM thirteen under the zone and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: then you hit that red button with a white microphone
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: to leave us a voice message up to thirty seconds.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: This message did not eclipse thirty seconds or cut off
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: if you go beyond thirty, but it got kind of close.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Is this guy was telling us what his favorite sandwich is.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Best sandwich is a fried egg.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Sandwich is two eggs over medium, not two running, but
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: a little running on toast and then a little pickled
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: relish on top. But not just your normal relish. My
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: dad used to make a green tomato based relish. Slather
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: a little bit of that on, wrapping the paper towel,
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: hoping the truck.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: You're off to work, toodles, it's a great Now, I'll
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: slightly just slightly differ with the talkbacker who left us
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: at I would probably refrain from the relish, but I
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: would go with and I'm right there with you, pal what's.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: His name, Huggins?
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Huggins, I'm I'm right there with you on
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the over media mag He's got just a little bit
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: of runniness there with the yolk. I would have mayo
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: on toasted bread. It could be either white or wat
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: or sour dough. I would have a strip or two
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: a bacon on it and a little piece of lettuce.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna have to make sure the lettuce is clean.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Lettuce.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: That's my ideal egg sandwich and I and I get
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: that from time to time, but I understand the relish
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: garnishment that's on there as well. But that's an example
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: of the iHeartRadio app. That's how you use that. So
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the question post to everybody today was this being National
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Sandwich Day, what is your favorite sandwich? And I went
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: down the list of twelve of the most iconic sandwiches.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: The Philly cheese steak, the lobster roll, the Pastrami on rye,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the Ruben, the po Boy, the Cuban, the Italian beef,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the muffalletta, the French dip, the hot chicken, the beef
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: on weck, which I have yet to try. That's a
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Western New York favorite. There and the hot brown.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Now those are a little more.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Of a production of a sandwich. If you're just going
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: with the regular plain sandwich and you just do a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: PEB and J, that's great. Or I used to like
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: peanut butter and banana sandwich, like that too, And or
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: like I said, I like toasted piminta cheese sandwich, that
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. Are your classic grilled cheese with a
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: slice of tomato in it? Maybe that's just if you're
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: making me I'm talking about those iconic sandwiches. Are the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: big ones obviously.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: That you have to go to.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: All right, on the text line, some questions. Somebody asked, well,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: first of all, the question that CB and someone else
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: asked as well, is a hot dog a sandwich? What
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: The answer is, Well, if you're gonna think a hot
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: dog is a sandwich, you gotta go taco as well.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: So I think that there's a difference in the open
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: face nature of it. Now there's plenty of open face sandwiches.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're getting caught up too much in the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: open face. Now my answer is no, all right, the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: answer is yes. But I'll tell you why the taco
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't apply here, because you're either having a shell or
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: a tortilla. Sandwich defines use of bread. If you look
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: at it and you see hot dog's on a bun, well,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: a bun is bread. And if you trace the origin
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: of the hot dog, it actually goes back to the
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: aw Stevens Company, which was the concessionaire. Mister Stevens himself
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: at the old Polo Grounds in New York doing New
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: York Giants baseball games in the early twentieth century, and
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: they were selling sausages. And as they were selling sausages,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: it became very very difficult to wrap them well in
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: paper or this or that, or to serve it the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: way they wanted to do. So he just took he
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: took two slices of bread and then later took a
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: role i think it was, and put it in there.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: And it was called a frankfurter, which is a you know,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: a northern termin. I'd always remember the Dallas Cowboys when
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I was covering the cowboys, living and working of a
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Dallas you would go to the media luncheon on Tuesday,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: whether Tom Landry was doing that or even Jimmy Johnson,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: and you would have a conference call with the opposing
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: team's head coach, and then medi would ask questions during
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the lunch. And they were dialing up to New York
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Giants to get Bill Parcells on the phone, and as
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: they did, the PR guy for the Giants, who didn't
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: know the whole media was there hearing it on a speakerphone, said,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: hold on a second, I got to get a Frank
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: fur I always remember that off of that, but that
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: was Frankfurter. A Frankfurter sandwich was the Wayscourt. So technically it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Qualifies as a sandwich. A frank Yeah, yeah yeah.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: So for CB and for everybody else, technically it qualifies
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: as a sandwich. Had somebody else say they loved the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak from Delaware Subs? They were great.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you, Hoodies in Round Rock Is
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that where you're thinking about your cuban earlier?
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, no no, no.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Hoodies is an authentic Philly cheese steak place to get.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: It's right across the street from round Rock High in
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: that shopping Center there and Hoodie himself has been there
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: forever and he does a great sandwich. That's where I
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: had lunch with Bill showing about a month ago. Bill
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: has lunch and has friends there for lunch about once
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: a month or whatever. He has a frame photo of
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: himself in there at Hoodies. Hoodies is great, a great
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: authentic Philly cheese steak there.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Cole Dixon who fills in often on this show, and
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: he's been working with the morning kickoff. He says pastrami
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: or a Ruben.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that they were both on the list on
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: that list of twelve of the most iconic sandwiches.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: It was on the list the pastrami on Rye in
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: New York at places like Kats's Delhi or Carnegie Deli
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: or Stage Door or I mentioned Sargees on Third Avenue.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: That's that's kind of in the Murray Hills section, as
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: David say, up there, just north to thirty Tride Street,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you know, at thirty three. I think it's I think
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: it's actually between thirty seven and thirty eighth or thirty six,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: but anyway, it's on Third Avenue.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: So that's that's where. H Yeah, it's on Third so anyway,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: quite quite the New York accent working there.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well my mom was from Jersey City. The so
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: both pastrami and the ruben are both made that list
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: and are twelve of the most iconic sandwiches. Okay, we
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: had somebody else, uh say they like the Day after
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving turkey sandwich eating over the sink. It's the way
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: they describe it. The best description of the Day after
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving turkey sandwich was authored by none other than the
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: one time LSU head coach Less Miles. And we played
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: this before on that and it was the week LSU,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I think, was playing Arkansas that week and it was
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: going to be Thanksgiving week and they were going to
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: be playing on Friday, and he talked about, well, I'm gonna,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: you know, miss out on the Thanksgiving but this is
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: way he described it.
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: I am the easiest man to please when it comes
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: to food.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I have to be honest.
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: I think it's a I think it's definitely the turkey
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: with a warm gravy.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's the last.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Spoon or fork of food on the plate, you know,
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: that has a little bit of salt and pepper and
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: maybe a little bit of the turkey and gravy and
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: some of the stuffing that would be there, and maybe
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: just a smidge in that cranberry stuff, right, not like
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: a big kind of overwhelmed the last bite, but that
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: right there, Oh my goodness, right, that last bite's worth
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: a lot. I might add that the turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, mustard,
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: onions and a little salad at little lettuce kind of
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: makes makes for a.
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: Good eating later too.
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: Done that wish you hadn't mentioned that I haven't had
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: my lunch yet.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Always remember that, I might add. I might add that
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the turkey sandwich with mayo, mustard, onions, lettuce makes a
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: great sand my lunch yet, so I always think about
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: that on the turkey sandwich. But I do love the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwich as well.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: It's great, yeah, nothing, no doubt about it all right,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: coming up next and to hear from Kirby Smart and
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: more from SEC Media Days when we continue on thirteen
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: under the Zone. It's kind of creepy when you hear that,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: and I forgot the name of the guy who's actually
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: talking about that, rolled me up and smoked me when
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I died, But it's kind of a true story that
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Willie Nelson talks about and that he was cremated his friend,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and there was some differing commentary on whether they actually
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: rolled him up or part of him who was cremated
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: and smoked. Really, yeah, somebody may be able to help
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: me with that. Somebody else said, did anyone mention the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Philly cheese Steak. Absolutely, we mentioned Philly Cheesesteak. Like I said,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the Philly chees Steak at Hoodies and Round Rock is tremendous.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Can't go wrong with that. And the Cuban restaurant is
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: trying to think of and round Rock is called Q
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: with the letter Q Bola b o A. It's pretty
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: much at the intersection of I thirty five and seventy nine.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Their cube BOWLA. It's been two or three different things
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: of the past, but it's a really good Cuban restaurant.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: They have a fabulous Cuban sandwich.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I've been looking for well that's where, well,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: that's where you would that's where you could find one.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And as we were saying, this being National Sandwich Day,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: the Cuban made the list of twelve of the most
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: iconic sandwiches. The Philly Cheesteak the lobster roll, the pastrami
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: on rye, the Ruben, the poe Boy, the Cuban, the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Italian beef, the muffletta, the French dip, the hot chicken sandwich,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: the beef on weck, and the hot brown. If probably,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: out of those twelve, if I were asked to say,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: what would be my favorite, put it this way. The
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: one I go to the most is the ruben. But
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: it's hard to beat a really good lobster roll. They're fabolus,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: They sell those at Red Sox games, and now with
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox having won fourteen in a row, they're
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: probably selling like hotcakes, if you will. But I love
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I love a good poe boy, the Cuban I was
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: just talking about as well one and I've enjoyed getting
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: muffle att a sandwich. Philly cheese steak is an obvious one.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Hot brown I've had that once or twice in my life.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: That's really good as well. I'm a little bit woosy
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: about the hot chicken sandwich. I love a really good
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: chicken sandware, a chicken fried steak sandwich. And in my
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: home state of North Carolina, if you were to go
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: to a place called the Snappy Lunch in mount Airy,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: which is not far from the Virginia state line, hometown
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: of the immortal Andy Griffith. And it's kind of what
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: the Andy Griffiths Show was. Model Mayberry's kind of model
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: out of mount Airy's a little bit bigger town. They
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: have at the Snappy Lunch there the pork chop sandwich
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: and it's really good. So uh, that's that's There's lots
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: of really good ones there on that all right.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: At SEC Media Days today, Kirby Smart before he got
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: to the podium, I think because he was on ESPN's
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Get Up show this morning, so he got up before
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: he got to the podium. He was asked about those
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: comments that the Commissioner Greg Sankey made yesterday about the
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: conversations about the possibility even of the SEC breaking away.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: He said, those conversations are real. The conversations are real.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: He did not say there was a real possibility. He
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: said he thought that would be far fetch. They would
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: want to work toward, you know, a better understanding on
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: on that bill that's that's being crafted to go through Congress.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: So Kirby Smart was asked for his thoughts on what
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the Commissioner said, and about the possibility the SEC breaking away.
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: I've actually been saying that for a long time to
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: our president and our administrators, that you know, my frustration
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: is I sit in a meeting, and so many times
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: I sit in a meeting. And I learned this, I
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: think eleven years ago my first SEC head coaches meeting.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: I had a coach tell me, we will not get
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: anything done in these meetings because we don't have any
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: power or any control.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: We sit and say what we want, but that doesn't
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: necessarily come to fruition.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: So I've learned that, you know, until we get governance
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: and we have someone that actually has the power to
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: make decisions, or we can make decisions within our own community,
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: we're not going to have much control.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: And that's unfortunate. But that's where we sit right now.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: And if that's the best alternative to get everybody planned
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: by the same rules, then I would I would want
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: to do that.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Interesting is thoughts on that? Okay? One other thing he
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: was asked about the two most talked about coaches in
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the SEC in this off season. I think most would
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: have the two that have been discussed more and maybe
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: have been in the news more and their comments have
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: been repeated more and broadcast more. Are Steve Sarkesan and
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, by the way, the two are friends, by
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the way, going back to their days on the Alabama staff.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: They've known each other a long time. Uh, and when
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: they were on the us EA staff together.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, step and A Smith can't stop talking about
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Kaylin de Boor. But that's a separate issue.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It is.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: So he was asked by do you have the whole
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: question here with the young lady asking the question? No,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I know the question here, but.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well so it was a young lady was asking
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: him about what did he think is Is Lane Kiffin
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: a troll?
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: And then what he said, I don't.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Know what that is, right, a troll? And then she
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: kind of and then she kind of explains it. So
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: here's the question about whether Lane Kiffin is a bit
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: of a troll on social media? Troll.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what troll means. People say that
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: all the time. Can you define what a troll is
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: for me? Police, I don't really know. I need to
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: understand that better.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: A troll just means kind of poking fun. He likes
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: to stir the.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Pot yep that's him.
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: He would say, I look like a troll, So I
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: wanted to make sure it wasn't defined by appearance, because
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: certainly he is the adonas of all college football coaches.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: But he is very bright.
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: He does an incredible job of evolving with college football.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: He was really good at that with us at Alabama.
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: You know, he made coach Saban uncomfortable. Let's just say
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: what it is. And he helped evolutionize that offense and
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: bring it along and did some really good things in
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: a day and age when people weren't doing them.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: But he does a great job. He's hard to play.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I don't you know.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: I don't like having to play his teams because I
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: know what he knows, and I know how he thinks
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: about defenses, and he knows what he's doing. But he's
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: also passionate about his family and so proud of his dad,
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: and he probably tweets and talks more about.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: That on our thread of like memories or or players.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: Derek Brooks sending him a text about his dad and
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: just you know, when you don't have a dad to
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: share that with, because I've gone through that, you got
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: to have a group to share that with to get
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: your like self worth and your motivation. And I think
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: him him sharing those things reminds me a lot of
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: times of my dad, and it's like, you want somebody
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: to appreciate what your dad did, and you don't have
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: him to share that with.
• 54:25
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I was looking at George's schedule and at first they
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: always got to play him. No, wait, Lan Kippin's at LSU.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Georgia does not play LSU, not in the regular season.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: They do play at Ole Miss, and of course Lane
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: is no longer the coach. At ole Miss, they play
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: A and M. Yet let's see, I know the answer
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to it. It's no, yeah, all right, somehow those teams
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: never play. Yeah, they're there. Remember they lost to Ole
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Miss in the Sugar Bowl after they beat him in
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the in the regular season U they won that crazy
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: forty three to thirty five game when they came back
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: to win. That was at home, and then and then
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: a loss to them in the Sugar Bowl, And that
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: was after Kiffin had left, so he obviously wasn't leading
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the program anymore. And there was all of that stuff
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: about how many of the assistants would go with him.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Some student athletes who played in that playoff game then
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: entered the portal Ando transfer in LSU. That's brought about
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: legal action with ole Miss trying to recover the nil
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: money that was involved with that. So there was that,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: and in the middle of that is Pete Golding being
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: the head coach now at ole Miss, and of course
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: ole Miss will be here on October twenty fourth to
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: play Texas. George's linebacker Raylan Wilson was asked about this
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: and again, we'll find out the official preseason s DC
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: media poll, and what that will do is it'll tell
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: you who they picked from one all the way down
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: through sixteen. There are some.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Survey's rankings polls.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Out there right now, but it's not the SEC preseason poll,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: it's not the AP preseason poll, it's not the coaches.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: I think twenty four to seven has one of those
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: going on where they canvas there. They're representatives around the SEC,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: and that particular poll has Georgia winning there and Phil Steele,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: who's going to be on with Buck in BK tonight
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: right six o'clock. Yeah, he has Georgia ahead of Texas.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But there's one or two out there that has Texas
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: ahead of Georgia. And so Rayland Wilson, George's outstanding linebacker,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: was asked about that. What's his reaction to some media
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: picking Texas ahead of Georgia.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: You really, Joys, just focus on the stuff we can control.
• 56:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, you can't control where everybody gonna have the opinion,
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: so I mean you can't control the opinions out here.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And me, we pretty much understand that.
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: So we really don't harp on over they said this
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: about us.
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: Like, we really just focus on getting better.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'd like to see the pole it
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: has Texas head of Georgia. I haven't seen one yet.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the magazines, the preseason publications, I'm looking.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: At all of Georgia ahead. Not that it really matters anyway.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: What might matter to him is the fact that Will Mushchamp,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: of course, had been on Kirby Spart's staff. Now mush
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Champ is back in Austin as a defensive coordinator, and
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Wilson was asking what mush Champ meant to Georgia.
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: That's said, man, that was my dog.
• 57:36
  Speaker 10: He was always coming practice, smile and yell and try
• 57:39
  Speaker 10: to make people laugh. But he was a serious dude.
• 57:42
  Speaker 10: At the same time, he'd be quick to like flip
• 57:44
  Speaker 10: the switch on your ripe if you do some messed ups,
• 57:48
  Speaker 10: like if you mess up play. He's pretty much just
• 57:51
  Speaker 10: like coach Smart. Well, yeah he talk. He taught me
• 57:55
  Speaker 10: and really as the young guys. He was there for
• 57:59
  Speaker 10: a year, young guys. But I say I learned a
• 58:02
  Speaker 10: lot from just little nuggets and football. I can anticipate
• 58:05
  Speaker 10: in plays. He's taught me a lot since Dannage.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Was Okay, all right, so that's from Rayln Wilson. All right,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: coming up some more from SEC media days and again
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: if you have your thoughts on what your favorite sandwich
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: is here on National Sandwich Day, here's one. It says
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: two things. What would happen if, let's see, oh, if
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't put Texas in front of the text, would
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: you get it? The answer is no, because the thing
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Texas has nothing to do with the University of Texas
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: or the Texas Longhorns. It's an iHeart thing about where
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: it's going on this text line to Texas. In other words,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: the eight one, five three zero could go somewhere else
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: in the iHeart family if the word Texas is not
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: in front of it, So it doesn't have anything to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: do with the Texas log orange or University of Texas.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: It's a geographical identifier that is automated. So when you
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: put Texas in front of what you text, then it
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: lands here on our text line. If you don't, it
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: won't land here. So there's that. Also, whenever you go
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: to BJ's the next time, get the hot chicken sandwich
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: or just like the chicken sandwich in general, with the
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Chinese sauce. I'm not sure what it's called on the menu,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: but I've had it several times. I get it specifically
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: for the Chinese sauce. Wow, You've got me curious just
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: even mentioning that with the Chinese sauce on it. Okay,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I will try. I appreciate the specificity there with that.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: And like we said, that's a perfect example we're saying
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: about if you have an idea suggestion on what the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: what your favorite sandwich is, let us know on the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: text line, text the word Texas. Make sure you do
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: that followed by what your submission would be at eight one, five,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: three zero.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Just last weekend, Alison, I for dinner chicken thighs, yeah,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: breaded with corn flakes. Oh, and a homemade Korean sauce
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: with goju jang. Okay, delicious sandwich, but put some some
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: like not quite pickles, but like vinegar, like cucumber salad
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: on there with it delicious.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Due noted, all right, board coming up on thirteen hunder
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: the zone.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: The more from SEC media is Taylor Wine is Edge
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Russia from Oklahoma, transferred in from UTSA. Now he played
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: for UTSA when UTSA lost to Texas and now he's
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: playing for Oklahoma. Of course oklah home of loss in Texas.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: And Wine was asked, is there an urgency there in
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Norman to beat the long Corns.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 11: It's not a sense of urgency. They're just one of
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 11: the games that we played this week. They're no different
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 11: than any of their opponent. They are very very talented,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 11: they're very very well coached. That's what we look forward to.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 11: We don't look forward to a logo, We don't look
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 11: forward to who were playing. To look forward to our
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: next opportunity, and we look for competition and we want
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 11: to play the best because we want to be the best,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 11: and that's.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: What we care about.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, And Taylor Ryan was not the transfer
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: from UTSA I mentioned at first, I was looking at
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: my note wrong incorrectly. Of course, he's a junior who's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: been that and last year was a big part of it.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Had thirty nine tackle, seven sacks, eight tackles for losses
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: last year. That the guy who did transfer in was
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Kenny Ozo Waloo. He's the one who transferred from UTSA.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: But Wine, of course, is the edge rusher there for
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: the Sooners, who's expected to set the edge and be
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: able to recap it. And it's interesting hearing him say,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: you know that's not we have to look at him
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: like any other opponent. I believe that a lot of
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the players do do that. The fans clearly obviously look
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: at it differently. There. Okay, Josh Hipel, quarterback of Oklahom
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: last time they won a national championship. He's the coach
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Remember all that business when Ole Miss went
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: to Knoxville when Lane Kiff was playing, they boot him incessantly,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: but they were like throwing golf balls and all kinds
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: of debris and stuff like that. It got up well.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Hypel was asked about LSU going into Knoxville, and he
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: says he hopes his fan base is ready for Kiffin's return.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: Certainly hope our fan base hasn't cooled off.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 12: So you know, whether it's the grocery stores being fully
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: stocked with mustard or you know, our sports stores making
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: sure that they got reinforcements on the golf balls.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: Hopefully Knoxville is ready for his arrival.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: How about that, bring your golf balls to the game.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: D yog what Devo Sweeney used to say, Yeah, not
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: that kind.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Of g November twenty first, mark that one on your calendar.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: LSU playing at Tennessee.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my bold prediction Tennessee will be out of playoff
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: contention by then.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: They open with Furman. Then they played Georgia Tech. We
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: talked about this. Kennesaw State. Their conference openers Texas at home,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Auburn and home. They go to Arkansas, Alabama at home.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: That third Saturday in October, they go to Columbia to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: play South Carolina, have Kentucky at home. They go to
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: College Station. Maybe maybe, I mean, you know, if they
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: pull a surprise or too, maybe if they beat Texas
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: or Alabama, they might still be in the hunt. They
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: get both those games at home. We'll see on that.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: All right, We'll be back to wrap up Hour number two.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I'm thirteen under the Zone producer Jake Carman coming up
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: in a few minutes. We'll visit with Gene Watson, are
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: m l B Insider player personnel for the Chicago White Sox,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: the first place in the American League Central Chicago White
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Sox who hammered the Texas Rangers last time. It was
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: just a five to three game going into the ninth
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: and then they just blew it open there and won
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: that contest. So the White Sox continued to amaze and
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: surprise people. But since Gino is involved, I guess I
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised. Like we said, his track record shows
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: he's got the Midas touch with a lot of that.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Either that or fabulous timing on when he joins an organization.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I happen to think it's more of the former than
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: the latter. But we'll visit with him. The talks of
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball coming up all right, But we hadn't
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: had a chance to mention this and it kind of
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: kind of seeped out yesterday. I think John Rostein CBS
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Sports put it out there, and I guess he found
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: out either from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio or
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Baylor or Texas are all three that the long wornvent's
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: basketball team is going to play the Baylor Bears a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: non conference this year. It'll be the first time they've
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: done that ever as a non conference school, and they're
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: going to play them in San Antonio on Sunday, November
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: fifteenth in the Frost Bank Center. If you're keeping track
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: of all of this, that would be the day after
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: the LSU game football game. So if you're planning on
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: going to Baton Rouge, first of all, good luck on
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: trying to get a ticket. From what I understand, tickets
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: themselves are hard enough to come by for virtually any
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: game there in Death Valley. And I've read something else today,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: and we've heard obviously, you know Kirby Smarts comments about
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: lange Kiffin earlier, and here's lange Kiffin taken over at LSU.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: One of the things he's done right away is to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: alter the schedule a little bit in the future. It
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: was announced this morning, I think that or yesterday, that
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: LSU is opting out is the best way to describe it.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I guess of a contracted home and home the Tigers
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: have with Arizona State, I think in twenty nine and thirty.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty nine and twenty thirty, and I
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: think I probably need to check this. Did Texas also
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: opt out of it's deal with the Arizona State or today?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Are they still scheduled play them? I think in thirty
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: and thirty one. Maybe we'll check that and see. But
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: LSU has opted out of that that series.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in Texas back in February canceled the year. I
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: thought so.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: I thought so when they found out that they were
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: going to a nine game conference schedule. Now Notre Dame
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: is still on the schedule, I believe. For was it
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: twenty eight and twenty nine maybe, or is it twenty
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: seven and twenty eight extra in the year after I
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: thought that, I think it's twenty eight and twenty nine.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Because Michigan's coming to Boston next year, it's twenty eight
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: and twenty nine. Yeah, And for the time being, that game,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: that home and home is still on the schedule. Okay,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: So that's one layer peeled back and we're working it
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: back forward to what originally started with. But with LSU,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: they opted out of the home and home with Arizona
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: State and they announced four non conference games. I think
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: it's twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty and thirty one. I
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: think they might have done. But anyway, it's four in
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: state non conference opponents. I believe the rotation goes Northwestern State,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: which in case you didn't know, is in Naktish Louisiana,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Southern Tulane, and there's one other one. It might be
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Lafayette. It might be University of Louisiana. I don't know.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: They usually hesitate to play them, but there's because there
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: was a really nasty thing about University of the Louisiana
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: and LSU and all that other kind of stuff. But
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: they are scheduled to play four in state non conference
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: opponents coming up in a four year stretch. I read
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: it this morning, and I know Tulane and Southern and
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Northwestern State are three of the four. I didn't and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who the fourth one was out
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Not Prairie View, A and M.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Well, if they announced Prairie View, that that would be
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: a fourth non conference but Prairie View, of course is
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: a school in Texas. I thought I read it was
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: four schools in Louisiana, but that could be wrong. Maybe
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: the fourth one I read was prairie View, But of
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: course Prairieview is in Prairieview, Texas, near Waller, and it's
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: between Brenham and Hugh they're off to ninety. But there
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: was a thing announced about it. But in any event,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: LSU was opted out of that. And as I started
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: to say, tickets are difficult enough to get to any
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: LSU home game, even against whatever, a prairie View or
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: a Southern or you know whoever, a Northwestern state, you know,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: whoever it is, those are difficult enough to come by.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: But you add and then the next tier would be
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: conference opponents, which would be difficult, whether it's Ole miss
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: or Alabama or Mississippi State or whoever. And then of
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: course Texas. So there's all of that. I was not
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: that I needed reminding of this, but I got a
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: pretty clear and present reminder of it when I was
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: perusing air travel to Baton Rouge for the football game.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Now this was on back. It was well over a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: month ago, so we were still talking about because the
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: game's November fourteenth, so we're talking about almost six months
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: in advance, and it was almost impossible to book a
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: plane ticket to Baton Rouge, even like almost six months,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: almost six months out from the game. Almost impossible, in fact,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: so inconvenient and expensive. By the way, that myself, Roger
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Wallace and Will Matthews your broadcast announced team will not
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: be flying in the Baton Rouge. Will be flying in
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: the Lafayette, which is an hour west of Baton Rouge.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: But that's okay, not to be.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: Confused with West Lafayette.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: No, that's in Indiana. Lafayette is a school in Pennsylvania
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: or a town in Indiana. Lalafayette isn't in is in Louisiana,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: and they will and they will tell you that as well.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll fly to the Lafayette and drive it's
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: fifty five miles over. I mean last year we had
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: to fly in the Cincinnati for the Kentucky game and
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: drive the eighty miles. Of course, the crazy one was
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: when we had to fly had to get off the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: plane at O'Hare in Chicago with our connecting flight have
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: n't been canceled to go to the Ohio State game
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: and drive seven hours from O'Hare to Columbus. That was
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: that was some lengthy driving. But yeah, so that anyway,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's going to be a challenge, a bit of
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: a challenge there off of that. So the day after
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: that football game, the long worn basketball team is going
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: to play Baylor and they're going to play their neutral site.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: It's the San Antonio Hoops Showdown. I can tell you this.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Baylor was not the original opponent, but it worked out well.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: There was supposed to be. There was kind of an
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: agreement in place for them to do a home and
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: home or a neutral home and home if you will,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: with Ohio State, like play San Antonio this year, Cleveland
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: the next year. Maybe that workout. So while the up
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: being Baylor and they'll play Baylor on Sunday, November fifteenth,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: The tip time and the television network coverage will be
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: announced in the coming weeks. So there it is. Tickets,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, will go on sale October first, with
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: a one day pre sale taking place the day prior,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: and there's a website is at Frost Bank Center to
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: find out about it under their events. So Texas and
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Baylor will be playing, and Texas has played Baylor more
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: than any other opponent. This will be the two hundred
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: and sixty fourth all time meeting with the schools. Texas
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: holds the overall seriesly won sixty five to ninety eight.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Baylor was texas first opponent and their inaugural nineteen oh
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: six basketball season. Texas won that game twenty seven to seventeen.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: They played Baylor four times a year and won it,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: so they're the most common opponent in program history for Texas.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: So Texas and Baylor will meet on Sunday, November fifteenth.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we'll talk baseball. Will visit
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: with Gene Watson, our MLB insider from the Chicago White

  Speaker 1: Wow.

  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, well, yeah, we don't get there much, not many.

• 1:14:09
  Speaker 9: of fun.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that'll be cool. And when you played
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: football at Temple, you played what position?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: I played center? Guard and tackle.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: I sat on the center of the bench, got the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 9: water bucket and tackled.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: Anybody tried to see it there.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go well, I remember, I remember the first time
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: I ever heard the phrase. I think it was Tom
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Penders who said it during a basketball so he's somedoy
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: guy said, yeah, he guards the gatorade when he was
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: joking about that.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, all right, I did have I did have
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: an all State center in front of me, so that
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 9: that's my excuse.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, and hey, listen, you got to proudly wear
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: what is it? It's it's blue front white back the jersey, correct,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: the blue.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Front white back.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, magic, yeah, yeah, that is something else. And we
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: are getting closer to uh to the start of football season.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: I promise Geno a copy of Dave Campbells Texas Football
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: Magazine whenever we can cross pass again on this right Now, however,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I got to ask you Patch your ball club. You
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: know you are now about to play your ball club.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: The Chicago White Sox are about to play their one
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: hundredth game of the season, one hundredth game of this season.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: And here they are. Here are the White Sox at
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: fifty three and forty six.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: Here are the.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: White Sox seven above the five hundred mark, and tonight
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: playing their one hundredth game of the season, and they
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: have one game lead on the Cleveland Guardians and five
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: on the Twins and six and a half on the
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Tigers in the American League Central. We continue to talk
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: about how unexpected folks have found this to be. And
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I understand all that you've been there from the building
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: of the start of it. What has impressed you the
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: most about your guys getting to this point where here
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: you are getting ready to play game number one hundred
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: and you're sitting in first place.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: Well, Craig, I think I think most of it is.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: You know, you hear a lot of dialogue in the game,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: like people report the spring training and every all thirty
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: locker rooms are saying the same thing.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: You know, why not us?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 9: You know we're going to shock the world, and it's
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 9: one thing to say those things. It's another to go
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: out and actually do it. And I think it begins
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 9: with the leadership with Will Venable and his coaching staff,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 9: and the attitude and the belief that he's instilled in
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: the twenty six man roster, the style of play that
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 9: they bring to the ballpark every day, because again, you
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: can say hard nineties, but you got to have a
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 9: group that buys into it, and our guys run every
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: ball out as hard as they can. You can say
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 9: we're going to play a style of play where we
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 9: put the ball in motion and put the game in
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: motion and bond and steel and hit and run, but
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 9: it's another thing to get players.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: To execute it. And Will and his staff have done
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: all of those things.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: And when you when you couple that with twenty six
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 9: guys that don't know any better, you get what we've gotten.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: And it's been a lot of fun, and we're just
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: enjoying every bit of It's the most fun I've ever
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 9: had in the game for what the expectations were coming
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 9: into the season and what they've been, and it's certainly
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: raised our sights to what we hope to do the
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 9: next couple of.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Weeks have I've never asked you this, but I am curious. Now,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: can you describe Will Venables? I don't know if personality
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: is the right word, but he's demeanor and his day
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: to day and what he's like as a matter. You know,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: we have the point where we know what some manager's
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: personalities are like. We know what Aaron Boone's personality is like.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: We know what Terry Francona's personality is like, even Dave Roberts.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: We know that Pat Murphy. We've gotten to know quite
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: a bit more in some regions. Tell us about Will
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: Venable the person and the personality makeup of this guy.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: Well, you know the thing about that chair is sometimes
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 9: people will change to fit what they believe the personality
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 9: of the chair needs to be. Tough persona, almost angry
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: a lot. You know, they start, you know, yelling at
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: umpires and fighting with umpires so like like you're protecting
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 9: your team. And the one thing I will say about
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: Will is he is the same guy today as he
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: was when I saw him play in Careen and a
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 9: ball and just a super intelligent person first of all,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: but played at Princeton basketball baseball.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: Star, very low key.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: I think laid back California would be the best phrase
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 9: you could use. But just so thoughtful with people, so
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 9: thought the way he presents and players have a great
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 9: deal of respect for him, you know, for what his
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: playing career was. He was an elite defender in center
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 9: field that played the game the right way. His father
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 9: played in the big leagues, Maximenable, and so he's just
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 9: been a tremendous, tremendous leader for this organization in this
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 9: twenty six man roster.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: How much does you just mentioned his dad, Max Vna Ball,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: I remember when he played played with the Reds among
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: other teams. How much does being a legacy of a
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: former big league player or manager even get into this?
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: I think I think about Aaron Boone, and I think
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: about Bob Boone, and I think about even his dad
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: before him as well. I mean the the family tree there.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: How much does that make a difference in how a
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: guy ultimately can succeed or at least exhibit what he
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: can do as a big league manager.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: I think it's incredible, not only as a as a
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 9: manager or a coach, but as a player. Because the
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 9: car rides to and from the games are just a
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 9: little bit different the car rides to and from. You know,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 9: when you're when your dad's a coach or manager and
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 9: you're growing up in the clubhouse, are just a little
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 9: bit different than the than the common person, and so
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 9: you know, the rolodecks, the learning rolodex goes back so
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 9: much further. You know, our third base coach, Justin Jerseley's dad,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 9: Mike Jershley, was our third base coach during the back
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 9: to back World Series in Kansas City, and us was
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 9: a young man in middle school and high school that
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 9: you know, he was on the plane rides, he was
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: in the meetings, he's shagging BP and so you just
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: get that higher education of the day to day and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 9: you're learning so much more at a much rapid pace
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 9: than if someone that doesn't have that.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Talk a Major League Baseball with Geen Watson here on
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundreds, and I'm going to keep it in the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: American League Central and ask you about the Guardians, in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: part because we have a diagnoble Guardians fan who routinely
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: texts the program and interested in your thoughts on them.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: They hit seven home runs last night and their win
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: of the twins. They're one game back. I know Tanner.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: Bobby hasn't had quite the season he's won and he's
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: four and nine right now, but it got the win
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: last night. But what's your makeup to this point as
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: they just crested the one hundred game part of the season,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: they're at fifty three and forty eight. Your thoughts on the.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: Guardians Just a special organization with the way they do things.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 9: They know who they are is or organization. They have
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 9: a profile that they they reach on the mound with
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 9: their pitchers and Carl Willis is arguably the best pitching
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: coach in.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: All of baseball.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 9: You know, they have a lot of undersized players that
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 9: are super talented, super tool that out and just they
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 9: just play.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: Game the right way. They play so hard and they're
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 5: they're going to.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 9: Be very difficult to shake the entire season because they've
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 9: been there before many times and we have it and
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: so it's got to be sometimes that we have to overcome.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 9: But they're gonna get Jay Ram back pretty soon, They're
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 9: going to get some of their injured players back, and
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: they're going to be a force to recond. If they've
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 9: got a very good minor league system, they can go
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: out and make the trades they need to make. They're
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: very creative in the front office, and they are truly
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: one of the model organizations that exist in baseball today.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Do you see the Twins even though they're three below
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: five hundred and the Tigers are six below five hundred,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: but the Tigers have won seven of their last ten.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk about Trek Skuball and whether
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: the Tigers would deal him at the deadline. And we'll
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: get to the deadline here in a few minutes. As
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Saltbuster only last night reporting that apparently school Ball was
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: not to be traded. It's not going to happen, but
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: we'll see what we'll see. Do you see the Twins
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: and Tigers being players in the central as this thing
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: cranks up into August and on in the September or
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: is that going to be squarely dependent on all what
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: happens at the deadline?
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 9: I think every you know, most of the teams I've
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 9: spoken to are we're going to see where we're at
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 9: the next seven to ten days before we make a decision.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 9: I think that so many teams are looking for the
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 9: same thing. Teams are desperate for bullpen, teams are desperate
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 9: for starting pitching. There's many teams that are looking for
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 9: middle of the order run producing bats, and so I
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 9: think there's going to be teams that.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 5: Are willing to take on some risk in those areas.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: I think there's gonna be some teams that are willing
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 9: to take on some financial responsibility in those areas, and
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 9: so it's going to be interesting to see. The interesting
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: thing about the American League Central is it's kind of
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 9: like a slow play for twenty six, because everybody's going
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: to be equally talented in twenty seven.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: And twenty eight.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 9: And so do you make that one trade that gives
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 9: you two or three players of depth to help you
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 9: in twenty seven to twenty eight, or do you try
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 9: to hang in there this year and see what you
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 9: can do as far as the wild cards concerned. But
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 9: this is going to be a very difficult division for
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: years to come because a lot of these teams have
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 9: very good final listens.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Toward that end of what you just said about twenty
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: seven and twenty eight. And you know me, Geno, I'm
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: not a guy. I do not like to dwell on
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: the unpleasant, the foreboding, the possibility of a workstoppage in
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. But it does bring up one question. Might
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: teams and I can use the Guardians or the twins
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: of the Tigers as an example, might teams that might
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: not otherwise be as aggressive toward the deadline given where
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: they are in the standings, might they be a little
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: more aggressive than normal given the uncertainty of twenty twenty seven?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: I think certainly in the American League you could see that.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 9: I think when you look at the America League West
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 9: and the American League Central, they're they're clearly wide open divisions.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 9: A little less in the American League East. I just
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: don't think it's going to be as push in in
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 9: that division it is in the Central West, and the nationally,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 9: I think it's very very modest, only because everybody knows
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 9: the Dodgers are the defending back to back world champions
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 9: and they have a really good shot of winning a
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: third and so you know, what kind of investment are
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 9: you going to see that you think can push you
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 9: over the top. The one team that I would say
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 9: I expect to be super aggressive and take after the
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 9: Dodgers is the Atlanta Braids. They're healthy, they have a
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 9: very good team, They've got the pieces to make an
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 9: impactful trade for a major league pitcher, and so I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 9: look for Atlanta to be fairly aggressive. But in the
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 9: American League, certainly, you know, it's it's wide open and
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 9: teams can be as aggressive as they want and have
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: a good chance of winning in October.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: All right, the story of the year in the American League,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: really in the Major is probably your ball club. The
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: other developing story is what's going on in Boston right now.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, this is fourteen in a row.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: The Red Sox have won. It's their second longest winning
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: streak ever. They surpassed the tie for second mark with
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: a forty eight ball club that tied for the American
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: League pennant with Cleveland and lost a one game playoff
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: back at nineteen forty eight. What's your biggest takeaway on
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: what the Red Sox are doing right now that is
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: so markedly different than when they were in last place
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: and we were playing the SoundBite from the angry fan
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: and all that other kind of stuff when they were
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: eleven below five hundred, and now they're three above five
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: hundred because they won fourteen in a row.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 9: Well, I think the young talent has always been there.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 9: It's not hard. It's very very difficult to develop at
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: the major league level. They've got a lot of very
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 9: good young players, especially on the mound, and I think
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 9: that when you go into the season like they did
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 9: in twenty twenty six, and the expectations are there, and
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 9: then the results aren't, and then you fire an Alex
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 9: Kra and then you've got, you know, the shock of that,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 9: and not only Alex, with the entire coaching staff, and
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 9: you have those relationships between the players and the coaches,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 9: and then as time goes on, you know, the players
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: have to look in the mirror and say, you know what,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 9: you know, we can sit around and sulk about the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 9: fact that that people lost their jobs, or we can
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 9: start playing up to their ability. And I was with
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: Chad Tracy in in in La with the Angels. He
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 9: was our farm director again, son of Jim Tracy, born
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 9: and raised in the game, So so the the education
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: and the speed up as far as being qualified to
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 9: be a manager was much much greater. But I think
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: they got through the storm of the firing of Alex
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: Kra and they've come together.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 5: They're very very.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 9: Young, they're very talented, and they've gone on a run
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 9: that that I think a lot of people would say
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 9: they are where they thought they would be at the
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 9: beginning of the year.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Let's let me jump to the American League West, and
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: you got the Mariners a game above five hundred in
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: first place after the winner of the Reds last night,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: the Rangers after they're losing your ball all clubs only
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: a half game back. In fact, and this is mind
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: boggling to consider. Here are the Rangers at level five
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: hundred after one hundred ball games. They're fifty to fifty.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: They are actually right behind the Red Sox. If the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: regular season in the day, the Red Sox would be
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: the third wildcard, which is amazing enough to consider. But
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: you have the Rangers there. The Astros who won last
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: night are three and a half back. I heard somebody
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: say last week when they got to the one hundred
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: game mark, because right now they're that one oh two,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: so I guess it was a couple of days ago
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: that it is the first time I believe the Astros
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: have been below five hundred at the one hundred game
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: mark since I think twenty eighteen or something like that,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: seven eight years something like that. And yet for all that,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: the three and a half back in the division race.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: How about your thoughts on the American League West.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 9: Well, I think Seattle continues to be the favorite just
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 9: just because of their death in the rotation, and they've
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 9: got an opportunity to go get leverageable and go get
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: a back, go do the things they need to do
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 9: to improve the roster because they have six starters and
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 9: there's there's lots of speculation within the industry that they
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 9: will end up trading one of the six starters to
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 9: improve their major league team. So I think that's kind
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 9: of swinging the needle for them a little bit.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: And and when you look at the other teams, it's
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: it's how much are they going to be able to
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 9: push in with their systems to improve You don't want
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 9: to subtract from your major league team right now. Houston's
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 9: in a series with the Marlins right now, who have
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 9: not been playing well, and and they've got you know,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: the Angels and and other teams this next week that
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: are very very competitive. And so I feel like Houston,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 9: with the number of bullpen arms that they could potentially move, uh,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: they're they're going to have to measure things up to
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 9: the deadline, and it'll be interesting what they decide. But
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 9: certainly Jordan Alvarez is going nowhere, opinions going nowhere. I
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: wouldn't expect Hunter Brown to be to be going anywhere.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: But but there's teams that are going to have very
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 9: difficult decisions sitting three, four or five games out of
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 9: that wild card.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: Knowing do we really have a shot this year for
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 5: our time to peel off.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 9: And rejuvenate our minor league system some And it's going
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 9: to be interesting to see how they decide.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking major League baseball with Team Watson here for
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: a few more minutes. Let me jump to the National
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: League and the Brewers last night, with the virtue they're
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: win over the Mats and the Dodgers, you know, running
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: up against you know, Sanchez and having the difficult time,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: they end up losing ten to seven that ball game.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: So the Brewers now by one half game, actually have
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: the best record in all of baseball. Do you see
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee as being a team that can stand pat simply
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: because of what they have going for them right now
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: that they might not even need to look at making
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: a deal before the deadline.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 9: One hundred And they've got enough young prospects in their
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 9: system that they can inject into the major league team
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 9: and fill every need that they potentially have. And another
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 9: organization that just knows who they are. Pat Murphy arguably.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 5: One of the best managers in the game.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 9: Miss Rowski's turn into you know, arguably the best pitcher
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 9: in the National League.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: And so you know, there's this a well of machine
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: that are playing very well.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 9: They have an identity, they do all the little things
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 9: well on a baseball field, and they've got a very
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 9: good minor league system that they don't necessarily need to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 9: trade away to inject into the major league team.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: And this is a this is a real World.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: Series contender with the Dodgers, and and it could also
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: be a reason that the Braves feel like they need
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 9: to push in a little bit more with their roster.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you brought up the Dodgers and the reason why
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in getting your thoughts like this. I'm now
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: starting to hear things following this team as I do
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: that while it would be great to get another frontline
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: starting pitcher before the deadline in school Ball's name had
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: come up, but now they're saying, hey, look, you know,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell's making rehab starts. Tyler Glass now is not
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: that far away from that. They've shutowed Tony down for
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: two maybe three weeks, but they think they'll get him
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: in the back and be fine with that. Where there
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: were he seems to be is catcher because they don't
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: know about Will Smith's net injury as well, so he's
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: and right now you have a young guy obviously behind
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: the behind the plate there and then almost nothing back there.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: So now we're hearing that maybe the Dodgers might be
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: the market for a catcher at the deadline. Is that
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: also kind of the rumor rumblings that you're hearing as well?
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 9: Of course, and and and I think Will is going
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 9: to be okay. I think you have to protect yourself
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 9: as you get closer to the deadline in the event
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: he's not. But you're not going to get the impact
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: of a Will Smith. They're just they're not out there,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: especially with what the acquisition costs would be for premium
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 9: position player at that position. So you almost have to
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 9: look around the league and look at, you know, some
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 9: stopcap guys that can come in and be more complementary
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 9: and protect yourself from an insurative standpoint if he comes
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 9: back before the deadline, and that takes another injury. So
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 9: you want to create as much depth as you possibly
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 9: can at the premium positions, not just catcher, but but
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 9: I think that's going to be something that they look at.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 9: But going out and getting that impactful catcher, I mean,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 9: know the Royal is going to trade Salvador Perez. I
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 9: wouldn't think so, but who knows. But it'll be interesting
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 9: seed to eat, you know, if they do to assure
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 9: that position beyond August third.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: Could you even see the Athletics thinking about partying with
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the Shee Langeliers.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think so.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 9: Going into a new ballpark in Vegas, I think that
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 9: they've got a really good core of young position players
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 9: that they're going to be able to market in Las Vegas.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 9: I think they're going to have a situation where they
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 9: can throw some money at the team once they get
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 9: to Vegas, and they have a really good for as
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 9: much as everybody thought they would be better than they are,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 9: they still really have a very good young core position
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 9: players that have fallen upon injury and that's been a
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 9: lot of their downfall this year.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, the last thing I want to ask
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: you about is in this National League, if the regular
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: season were to end the day, the three wildcards in
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: the nat A League would be the Cubs, the Phillies,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: and then take a shot because the Cardinals, Marlins, and
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: Pirates right now are all tied for the last wildcard spot.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are a half game off of that pace.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Uh Jake's Washington Nationals are one game back off of
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: that as well. How crazy is this going to get
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: all the way down the stretch.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 9: Well, pitching to the currency of the game, and the
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 9: Pirates have it, and so as you know it's already
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 9: hot or almost into August, as they get closer to
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 9: the fall, that pitching where other organizations are going to
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 9: wear down lack of depth or.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 5: The team's taking on innings.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 9: Watch out for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I think they
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 9: have a chance to make some sneaky moves at the deadline.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 9: To me know, make Ley possibly make a late push.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 9: And so to me, when you have the arms on
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 9: the mound, that gives you a little bit of advantage
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 9: over the other teams. The Marlins, even though they're struggling
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 9: right now, have played extremely well. Clayton McCall has done
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 9: a job with that organization, and so you know, they
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 9: play very dynamic baseball as a team, but that last
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 9: wild card in the National League has a chance to
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 9: come down to the final days of the season.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: That's why they put it in there. He's Gene Watson,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: and he's the reason why we talk Major League Baseball
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: in this program each week.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: Geno, I appreciate the time.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: Best of luck again to your ball club tonight up
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: in Arlington, and we'll do it again next week.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 5: All right, Greig, thanks so much, have a great day
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 5: you too.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: That's Gene Watson from the Chicago White Sox front office,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: our MLB insider. We have more coming up here on
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday afternoon on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: Zone and on the iHeartRadio app.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: Under the Weight of the Badge.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Seen it all and it's fifteen. We continue on a
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: Texa Tuesday here on thirteen hundred designed thanksgain to Gene Watson,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: join us to talk baseball. Okay, hearing from the King
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: George Strait. This is the particular offering we're.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Going with the Weight of the Badge. I know it's
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: a little slower compared to some of George Strait's other offerings.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: He's got a lot of ballots and and you know,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: we know he's a troubad order, you know that sort
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: of thing. So this one obviously is has saw on
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: kind of paying respect for our police in the communities,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: and and it's a different type of badge. So the
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: one we heard about yesterday from Kareem and George Harrison,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, they're about wearing your badge at the
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: UH at the Texas High School Coaches Association's Coaching School
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: and Convention, which by the way, today is election day.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: There at the convention, UH, most of the exhibitors I
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: think have packed up their things in the exhibit hall.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: I think they were going to do it by noon today.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: Start packing it up, they get they get basically Sunday,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: definitely Monday, the big day, and then about half the
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: day on Tuesday, from probably around eight am till about noon.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: And then and then they start packing it up and
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: heading off, carting up those industrial washing machines and dryers
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: and scoreboards and goal post and down markers and field
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: turf samples and sports drinks and motivational videos and instruction
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: manuals and things like all that stuff that's a part
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: of the exhibit Hall. It's kind of fun to see,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: though it's it's an unusual look. Speaking of unusual, you
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: may have heard about this by now. There's been another
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: big round of layoffs with ESPN, and there's some very
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: recognizable names. I'll start with it chronologically, because Ryan Clark
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: working on you worked on Monday Night Football and was
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: a big part of Scott Van Peltz Sports Center on
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: Monday Nights in recapping Monday Night Football. Former NFL player,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: of course, he was let go. The unusual thing that
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: happened with Ryan Clark was he was let go during
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: the NFL Live show that he was actually a part of.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: So it was during the program they let him know
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: that I think during a break.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Uh, by the way, we're not we're doing your contracts.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: So then he just left after they didn't even finish
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: the show. You wonder what Laura Rutledge and the other
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: NFL a lot of people were wondering, like, what's going
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: on here, you know that sort of thing that The
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: Athletic had reported that ESPN decided to tell Clark during
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: the broadcast out of fears that news of his departure
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: would leak. Sources said they didn't want him to read
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: it online before being told in person. Okay, I get that,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: but can't you tell him in person in another thirty
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: minutes after he finishes the program, or do it before
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: the program on the middle of the program. That weird
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: U But he did. But his job allegedly had been
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: in jeopardy since the Super Bowl. Remember the big argument
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: he got into with Peter Schrager. Do you remember that deal?
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Wh Yeah, I was trying to tell him basically played
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: the former player card of you know, because you didn't play,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: so you know your opinion isn't isn't valid?
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: He said, uh, yeah, like you said. Here's a guy
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: by the way. At the Sports Emmy Awards three years ago,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: was named Outstanding Personality Studio Analyst. He was making over
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: two million a year.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy his film Breakdown.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot that there was a lot
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: that was that was really good. But they said that
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: ESPN executives had an eye on his performance after the
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: incidents with Peter Schrager. In September of last year, Clark
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: and Schrager had an on air spat on Get Up
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: on ESPN the Morning Show. Schreger was defending Ceedee Lamb
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: of the Cowboys and that was that opening night loss
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and Shreger was defending him, and then
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Clark said to him, pointing a finger, we shouldn't do
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: this on TV. So I apologize that people think this
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: is rude. That's the non player in you. And Shreger
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: asked him not to be little I and instead to
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: allow him to advoice other perspectives. And then Clark said, Peter,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: what I need you for you to do is not
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: get mad and let me finish, and so it got
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: kind of heated. It went viral. Then Clark later on
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: posted an apology on X The quote was, today I
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: had an interaction with my colleague and he has his
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Pete Schreggs his his handle both on and off the
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: air that I regret. I've apologized to Peter and taken
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: accountability with ESPN leadership. I value working with Peter and
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: look forward to the season. My focus will remain on professionalism, teamwork,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: and being a better teammate moving forward. He went straight
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: to social medium yesterday and said proof of life before
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the madness of yesterday, I woke up, got him on tundra,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: drove the planet, fitness, got to work the rest of
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: the day was eventful, but the journey continues. My pieces
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: with God, my humility comes from within. I'll continue to
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: build myself so the world can never strip me of
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: what's real. Get moving today. But again, companies make moves
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: they have to do, you know, downsizing. And there was
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: an even bigger name I think that was let go
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: as well. But the weird thing about that whole deal
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: is then letting him know while the shooting of the
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: show was going on, Yeah, that that's tough, and said
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: that that is a difficult thing. The other big name,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: I mean there were there were several names. Tom Pellisero,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: who you know, since ESPN has acquired NFL Network and
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: they've used him and I think his work is really good.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: He was he was laid off. But the biggest name
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: I think was the guy who was doing the Monday
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: night baseball game last night. Yeah, I mean I'm watching
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: Phillies and Dodgers and Karl Ravitch is doing the game
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: with what David Ross.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: And ed Wada, Perez ed Water and then and then
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: they had.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: No I guess it was the other night Sunday when
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: they had CC Sabatia down on the field as well.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: But Karl Ravag laid off after more than thirty years
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: at the network. He joined ESPN as an anchor in
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: ninety three. Was a longtime host of Sports Center and
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: Baseball Tonight play by play, League Call, the lead voice
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: on the College World Series, a lot of SEC hoops. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: might see Mike Monaco transition into some of those roles
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: as well. He was doing the late game last night
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: for ESPN R.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been busy. He did some tennis Wimbledon.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: Yep. Absolutely, We'll be back to wrap up today's edition
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: in the program here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: the Zone and the iHeart Radio app.
