  Speaker 4: My door and the whole world turns blue.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: There's a rundown bar across the road.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for being with us on a Tuesday.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: This portion of the program is brought to you by
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Superior Air Repair. I mentioned a couple of things kind
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of mid-show, not necessarily breaking stuff, but stuff nevertheless, including
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the fact that Tennessee has sold a.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Patch on its jersey to for $ 120 million over 10 years.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's pretty good, I think.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Russ Dellinger, who I follow and who is connected in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the world of college football, is talking about what everybody's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: talking about right now. With the headline, could the SEC
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: expel LSU?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Rhetoric going around right now. I don't think you can
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: pay attention to a lot of the rhetoric. We will
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have a much clearer picture on Thursday after the appellate
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: judge gives his ruling.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: When I say a clearer picture, I think it's clearer
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: for the time being.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: If it gives the power to the SEC, Lane has
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: already said, and whether that's true or not.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: That he will abide by by the ruling. So we will.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the law to understand all
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of that. What I do understand is no matter what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the ruling is, there will be more courts involved. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Would the Supreme Court take this up? Well, if they did,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it'd be a year from now, right? Congress says they're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: taking up the College Sports Act. If they ever get back,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I guess they come back after Labor Day. I'd prefer
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: they stay gone and not come back at all.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So we'll see.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: We'll have a little more clarity of purpose. I'm pretty
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sure that A & M and Missouri State are going
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to play at 6 o'clock at Kyle Field on Saturday night.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain that that game is going to take place.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain that LSU and Clemson are going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: take place, despite threats from the Clemson president or chancellor saying, hey,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we're not going to play LSU.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: That story came out early today.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And there's been nothing else said about that because my
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: guess is ESPN put a call into the president and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: threatened to kill him. That's how ESPN works. By the way,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they have people, uh, they are the Darth Vader of business.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They're certainly the Darth Vader of college sports of most sports. Um,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So we hadn't heard all of that huffing and puffing
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, right? And I don't expect any more
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of that. Dabo called it a bear. I got to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: tell you, LSU's a 10-point favorite Saturday. I'm kind of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: leaning toward.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Picking an upset.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not betting. I mean, I don't bet. But I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: kind of leaning toward picking an upset in that game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like the stars are kind of aligned. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like Lane and LSU are spending a lot
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of time on this stuff. I know they're practicing. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: know they're getting ready for Clemson. There's a lot of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: stuff swirling. You know what I'm saying?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And I don't think that's Good for them. We'll see.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Talked about this in the first hour. Some quotes attributed
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: to Marcel Reed from USA Today were released today ahead
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of the college football season. I think they've been sitting
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: on this.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But Marcel said in April interview, he took down the Longhorns.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And every Aggie fan is going, yeah, that's our quarterback.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He did acknowledge that he's lost twice. He said, we
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: don't like Texas. I don't like Texas. You got to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: hate them. I hate burnt orange. It sucks that we've
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: lost to them twice, but they're coming here this year,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: so they're going to have to pay. I've got something
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: for them for sure. Look, this stuff, like I said,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it's only talk, but fans are going to love it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's what rivalries are. And who knows where either of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: these teams are going to be.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: The Friday after Thanksgiving, right? I mean.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: We don't know. We think they're going to be good.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: We think this will be the third year in a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: row that this game will have perhaps playoff implications and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: SEC implications. That's my guess anyway. That's what I think
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: is going to happen. Let's see what else is going on.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: This story just gets worse. I'm telling you. I talked
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to a big TCU fan today. Tried to get a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: little feel set. Where are the fans? Where are the fans,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: first of all, on Sonny?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: After just that disaster in Dublin?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's what we're going to call the video, the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: disaster in Dublin. Losing to North Carolina and the fighting Belichicks.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They were terrible.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: In.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: This, at the end of this story that seems to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: get worse, Jacob Fields attacked a TCU wide receiver in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the locker room on August the 13th.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Dozie Azucanma.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He was hospitalized for three days now, according to the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Dallas Morning News, with a brave... I guess the Dallas
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Morning News isn't going to get credentials to cover TCU
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: football since they're reporting this story. Only the Purple Power people,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I guess, will get credentials to... I don't know what
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they're called up there, but whatever their mouthpiece is up there,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they'll be the only ones getting credentials.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Dozie Ezucanma.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Was hospitalized for three days with a brain bleed, concussion,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and shoulder injury from the attack by former teammate Jacob Fields.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: He was kicked off the team five days after the attack.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know what took so long. I tell you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: what took so long. The attack didn't become public for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a little while. Fields was booked on an aggravated assault.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: after the fact, not until this past Sunday, I believe,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and was released on a $ 50, 000 bond. According to police reports,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Fields walked up to Azucanma while he was sitting on
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a chair in front of his locker, struck him in
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the forehead with a closed fist, knocked him to the floor,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and proceeded to kick him in the head until he
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was unconscious. My question is this. Were they the only
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: two players in the locker room?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Where was the team? Was there not somebody.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: That would tackle fields and in this? Were they all
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: just watching? Did they all have their headphones plugged in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and were just oblivious?
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Where was the team? How does that happen? I mean,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: one punch, I can see that, right?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: You knocked him down. But then you start kicking him
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: in the head. Where is everybody?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Sonny said Thursday in Dublin, I guess he was talking
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to Purple Power.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know who he was talking to. Boy, this
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: was a surprise. We have such a close team.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going, well, if you're such a close team, where
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: are the guys that have this guy's back while he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: getting kicked unconscious by another player?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: That is crazy. I mean, that is nuts.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You know, it'll be interesting to see if this kid
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is going to play this year, if he's going to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: be ready to play this year. And then the other
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: story that I find interesting, we don't cover the NFL,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but we know all about Tony Romo, highly acclaimed... NFL
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: analyst for CBS. Arrested July 23rd on suspicion of operating
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: while intoxicated. Today, he pleaded guilty in Wisconsin and released
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a statement afterward. Saying, I faced a recent personal failure
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: by pleading no contest to a civil offense for OWI.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I own this completely.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: As I have taught my three young sons, when you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: fall short, you stand up and take full responsibility.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: This is an important first step. Romo said.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He had multiple back surgeries, which ended his career, left
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: me with constant debilitating pain, which led to a dependence
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: led to an over-reliance on alcohol. I said earlier, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. CBS has been pretty silent on this deal,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: other than to replace Romo.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Who'd they replace him with? Somebody fairly new. Who was it?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I believe J.J.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Watt.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: That's right, J.J.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Watt.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But they haven't said what Romo's future, if he has
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a future with CBS.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: They haven't said that. As of right now, he's out
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: for indefinite. Yeah, just indefinite. They haven't said anything.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Um.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Be interesting to see where this goes. My guess would
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: be they're going to wait and see the reaction by
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the public to J.J. Watt and see how good J.J.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Watt is. Oh, Chip, they wouldn't do that. Yes, they would.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I promise you they would. And then decide whether to
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: fire Tony Romo or not. That's what they're waiting on.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: And I would.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Suspect Tony Romo would get another job at some point. Cause,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and I don't know this cause I don't watch the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: NFL fans seem to like him, right?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's pretty good at what he does.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And again, the networks who are all about the Benjamins, uh,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't hesitate to hire him, right? And so that's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: how that works. The Rangers have signed a pitcher, Trevor Williams,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to a major league contract. He last pitched for the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Washington Nationals just about.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Eight or nine days ago. He was DFA'd, so he's
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: a perfect Rangers pick-up.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, yesterday they had to put Peyton Gray on the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: 15-day injured list and Cole Wynn on the 15-day injured list.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Jack Leiter is still out. Big Game Nate is still out.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Josh Young is still out. And they have 24 games
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: left in the regular season. They are two down to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the Astros. who I think are 5-2 since they fired
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: their general manager, which makes no sense to me because.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: The general manager doesn't play or anything. Maybe they like
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Joe Espada. I don't know. Who knows?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And I will end with this before we hear from
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Elko. The AL West just got harder because the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Angels, who have been a train wreck for
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: 11 years under Artie Moreno, have been sold to Stan Kroenke.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Kroenke owns the Avalanche, the Nuggets, the Rams. What do
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: those teams have in common?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: They win. Not just a little bit. They win a lot.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: So the AL West just got harder. All right, let's
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: hear from Mike Elko.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: Excuse me, Mike, I have a couple things. We always
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: hear about the importance of the offense playing together, cohesive unit,
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: all those things. You've got three, I guess, potential starters
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: that are graduate transfers. Can that expedite that process, or
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: does it have to be that there's no shortcuts as
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: far as just always having certain guys having to play together?
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: I think you guys have talked about that more than
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: I have. I think we moved guys around a lot
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: positionally and everybody wanted to know when we were going
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: to slot guys into their right spot. At the end
• 17:07
  Speaker 11: of the day, there's a comfort level for sure when
• 17:10
  Speaker 11: you've played with the guy next to you for a
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: long time, but college football has so much turnover and
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: always has that I don't know that that's our world.
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: I think that's the NFL world where the right guard
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: and the right tackle have played together for eight years
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: and they've grown together and they know each other. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: our world, you never get more than two max of
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: the same guys playing next to each other anyway. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: so I think we've had to learn how to adapt
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: to putting together lines that can play cohesively together without
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: all of that knowledge and experience. And so, yeah, experience
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: helps for sure. And so you'd rather do it with
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: older guys than younger guys. But You also have some
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: younger guys that are really, really talented, and so they're
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: going to have to be able to get out there
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: and be able to do it as cohesively as the
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: older guys. And so I think for us it's just
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: more about operation and functionality than it is the cohesive
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: part of it, to be honest.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: And just since the end of last year to now,
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: where have you seen the most progress from Marceau? specifically areas?
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: Um, yeah, again, like those questions are so loaded because,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: you know, at the end of the day, what Marcel
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: has to do is go out there and play consistently
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: on Saturdays. And so the real answer to that is,
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: is since the end of last season, I haven't seen
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: him do anything because we haven't played a game. Um,
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: and so he works really hard. He's But he's got
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: to go out and we've got to play.
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: And that's not him.
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: That's everybody. And so the reality of this thing is
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: we've done what we've had to do to get to
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: this point. Now it's time to go play. And when
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: we go play, we'll figure out where we are.
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: We'll stay to the right first row, Carter.
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: Lyle had mentioned that Julio's ball skills had really improved
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: this offseason.
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: I'm curious if you kind of saw the same thing,
• 19:00
  Speaker 14: and what do you think he showed to earn a.
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: Starting spot, at least for the opener?
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think a tremendous work ethic. He's been really,
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: really consistent. all through spring, all through summer, all through
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: fall camp. I think he's gotten really confident playing the
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: ball or more confident playing the ball. I think one
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: of the things he struggled with at times last year
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: was that final decision on the ball. He got a
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: little bit, we use the word antsy, but would get
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: antsy and then that gets grabby and you start grabbing
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: receivers and doing things that you don't need to do
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: to be effective. I think he's just gotten a lot
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: more comfortable and confident with with what we're asking of
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: him and I think that's shown through and you know
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: he's been a warrior he hasn't missed a single practice
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: since last season ended and I think he's really really
• 19:48
  Speaker 11: grown and developed and so we're excited to.
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: Get him out there.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: We'll go back over to Alex.
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: Second row. You referenced the video that was dropped last night.
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: I think in that Lyle had mentioned that the linebackers
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: were the defensive group that maybe surprised him the most.
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: I'm just curious what you've seen from them in preseason
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: camp that has stood out to you, especially the guys that,
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: as Damien's progressing back, have maybe had to step into
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: some roles.
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I just think they made a really, really big jump,
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: and I think some of that was naturally expected because
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: you had some younger, new guys, Ray Coney, Tamarion Watkins,
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: taking a lot of reps in the spring in a
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: new system and all of that, but I just think
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: the overall growth and development of the group... really sticks out.
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: I think Ray has had a really, really strong summer.
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: I think he had a really, really strong fall camp.
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: I think Noah McHale has taken a really, really big
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: jump forward. We're really happy with what Jordan Lockhart has
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: done and how he has played. And then Tamarian Watkins
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: has really evolved since the time he got here to
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: where he is now. And so I just think there's
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: been a lot of growth in that room and it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: been really, really cool to see.
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: And then you opened with noting how RC is getting
• 20:59
  Speaker 12: his statue. What's your relationship been like with him during
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: your two stints at A & M and just maybe
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: any impact he's had on you?
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, to me, I just view him as a legend.
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: I think that's how I've always seen him. I appreciate
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: what he means to this community. I appreciate what he
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: means to this football program. As a defensive coordinator here,
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: that was obviously a guy that you had always looked
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: up to and watched because he did it at an
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: elite level for so long, even defensively. as a defensive
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: coordinator and then as a head coach. And so there
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: was that part of it. So it's been conversations, nothing
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: in tremendous depth. The schedules don't really allow us a
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: ton of time to sit down and hang out together,
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: but just a ton of mutual respect and admiration for
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: who he is. And then obviously coming back as a
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: head coach, wanting to make sure that he's always welcomed around,
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: that he knows that this is his home, that if
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: he wants to be around, practice, the program, whatever, that
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: he always has a place here because he means so
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: much to this university.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: All the way in the back left, Nick.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mike.
• 22:01
  Speaker 13: Whether it was your players or Lyle, they all made
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: it super clear they thought this defense was talented. They
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: thought there was a lot of depth. I'm just wondering
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: for you now going into week one, what are some
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: words you'd use to describe the defense and just how
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: do you feel about it heading into Missouri State?
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we'll see. That'll be the words I'll use for everything.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: We'll see. I think we have a chance to be
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: really good if we have the ability to go out
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: and focus and play with the level of urgency that
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: we need to. I think they have a very, very
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: high ceiling, but they've got to go out and they've
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: got to go out and do it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: From Missouri State, you made it pretty clear that you
• 22:33
  Speaker 13: see them as an ascending program. Just wondering, from a
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: football standpoint, what have you seen from them that maybe
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: makes you think that they could be in FBS for
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: the long haul?
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: They were a bowl team last year in their first game.
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: They won seven games. They're making tremendous investments into their program.
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: They hired an elite coach, and they're recruiting at a
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: really high level for their level and their conference, and
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: so I think they're definitely here for a long haul.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go to the right front row.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: A little out of left field, but the NCAA released
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: that new offseason format. What do you think about that?
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: Have you all already started to kind of think about
• 23:11
  Speaker 12: maybe a little bit what that will look like for
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: you all?
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah, probably not a ton in terms of what we'll
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: do differently. I don't envision massive changes as we were
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: going through a lot of the conversations talking about Those
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: new calendars, I don't have a desire to move spring ball.
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: I think spring ball is in a really, really good
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: place for our training calendar. We get a good solid
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: eight weeks before it. We get a good solid eight
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: weeks after it. That, to me, is really, really important
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: for the development of your team, where we figure out
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: how to introduce those other six practices that we now have.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: You know, that's probably going to require a little bit
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: more research and conversation and, you know, try to manage
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: that in conjunction with losing three in training camp and
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: just kind of how that all pieces together. So probably
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: not quite ready to fully dive into that. But I
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: think when you talk about, like, holistically the big picture
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: of our calendar, I don't envision a ton of changes.
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: We'll go back over to the left, third row, Peter.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: You said you don't have any specific things you're watching
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: for in this week's game, but what are the intangibles
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: that have revealed themselves about this team in the offseason
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: you expect to be visible on the field every single week?
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, again, we want our program to be
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: about a couple things. We want to be a gritty team.
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: We want to be a team that knows how to
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: go out there and perform when needed and has unbelievable
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: mental toughness and resolve. We want to be a team
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: that has tremendous pride in how we represent this university
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: and each other, and that shows through the effort and
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: strain that we play with. And we want to be
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: an extremely physical football team on both sides of the
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: ball and both sides of the line of scrimmage. I
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: think that has been our identity. This team has shown
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: the ability to do that. Now we've got to go
• 25:02
  Speaker 11: do it on Saturdays.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: All right, that's Coach Elko.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: We carried that live, like we do most of the
• 25:11

  Speaker 1: Mallory is brought to us by Southwest Card World.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: It was announced yesterday, Mallory, that coming.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Up next year in both Nashville and London, Dolly Fest,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the celebration of a lifetime. She had planned to host
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and perform at a star-studded festival early this year to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: celebrate her 80th birthday. Danny Nozell, her longtime business manager,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: said in a statement, what Dolly started, we will ensure
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: is is brought to life. He said they were deeply
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: involved in plans for the original Nashville event before health
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: problems forced her to step back last August. Many people
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes know that Dolly Fest is a dream
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of Dolly's that was intended to take place on her
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: 80th birthday in Nashville. We had the venue booked and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: we had the announcement ready to go. You think they'll
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: have any problem getting musicians to play this?
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: No.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: They're going to have to turn away a lot of people,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: don't you think?
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: Can you imagine?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Not even just musicians.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Exactly. Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney. No, no, sorry.
• 30:31
  Speaker 19: Paul, we can't risk anything happening to you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Sir Paul, I'm sorry.
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: So I'm waiting for this announcement.
• 30:43
  Speaker 19: It's going to be huge. I can't even imagine how
• 30:46
  Speaker 19: big it's going to be.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: You know, I would think, of course, they have the
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: big arena but i i would think this may be
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: like the football stadium where the titans play.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: You know might as well i mean.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna have they're gonna have a hard
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: time with ticket demand too i would think yeah i.
• 31:06
  Speaker 19: Don't think i think even like the lesser known artists
• 31:09
  Speaker 19: aren't going to be lesser known artists like they're going.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: To be right talking about Right. What do you mean?
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: So and so is on a small stage. What?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Like consecutive consecutive weekends.
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: So can you imagine the ego? Some of these people?
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, I would not. I would not want to
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: deal with them.
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: I would not have a bunch of problems.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: We're getting word that Reba McIntyre, lifelong friend of Dolly's.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Was.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: One of the very few non-family members present at her
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: graveside service last Friday.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Um, everyone said it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Was extremely emotional. Reba, of course saying, I will always
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: love you. And she harmonized with the song. Um, in
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: what is called a prayer-like performance, creating a farewell that
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: reflected their personal connection. So apparently 50 years of friendship.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: They first met backstage at the Opry in 1977. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: that checks out.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: It does. Yeah, yeah, it does. Okay. Okay.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I saw two more Dolly tribute shows.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of people are just slapping
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: them together, you know, really quickly. But 2020 did one
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Sunday night that was really good.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Really good. Good. So, yeah, if you can see that way.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: We're going to slap one together. It's good if it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: really good.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Well, it's people who knew what they were doing. And
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: she obviously, she did lots of interviews on Good Morning
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: America and then with Baba Wawa and Robin Roberts. So
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: they kind of followed her career. The first interview Baba
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Wawa did was so dang condescending and you wanted to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: jump through the screen and just strangle Baba Wawa.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Because, you know, she went on and on about, you're
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: a hillbilly, right? Are you a hillbilly?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, get out of here. Oh, it was
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: just like, it was typical Baba Wawa. You know, Dolly's
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: trying to explain growing up in a one-room house, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Baba's like, it's way over her head.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: That wasn't her world, right?
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: Like, I can't relate.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I cannot begin to relate. Why are you wearing
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: these wigs? What does this mean? Why are you wearing
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: these outfits?
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: One crazy fact I did, and I don't know if
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: this is true or not. It's just something I randomly read.
• 34:09
  Speaker 19: Apparently Dolly Parton had like tattoos on her arms.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: And she just hid them all this time.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: So no one ever realized it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: I think it was to cover up scars and stuff
• 34:22
  Speaker 19: like that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: They were very pretty and colorful. So I was like, okay, Dolly.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: Dolly is.
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: She's sad.
• 34:29
  Speaker 19: She's gone. But what a legacy she left behind.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: So since we spoke last week, the most amazing factoid
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I have seen, last Friday, the top 10 songs... on
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Apple Music were Dolly songs.
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, I love that.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, that has never come close to being done before.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: That was just, that kind of blew my mind.
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: She's one of the best.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: That was amazing. That was amazing. All right, let's move on.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: What do you have?
• 35:10
  Speaker 19: Let's move on to lighter news because we haven't actually
• 35:12
  Speaker 19: talked about Travis Kelsey. I mean, usually we associate Taylor,
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: which I'm sure she'll be brought up, but... Travis Kelsey
• 35:19
  Speaker 19: is one proud dog dad.
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: So they have a dog now.
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: Speaking of Vogue about Tommy Hilfiger's fall 2026 campaign, he
• 35:28
  Speaker 19: introduced his fluffy white pooch.
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: His name is being kept private.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Actually, I think, I think.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: But I think they did release it. Isn't it?
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Wendy.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: Wendy.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: I was like, did I read that somewhere?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was named after a hamburger.
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: It's not.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: Checked out.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: Sure. I'll believe it. Sure. It is his pet. That
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: was confirmed.
• 35:54
  Speaker 19: Making the first time the pup has appeared publicly alongside
• 35:57
  Speaker 19: his famous owner. But I will say there were some
• 35:59
  Speaker 19: pictures of him in this pooch getting on like private
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: jets and stuff.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: The dog is gorgeous. It looks like a stuffed animal.
• 36:06
  Speaker 19: But I mean, when you're rich and have millions and
• 36:08
  Speaker 19: millions or maybe billions of dollars.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: You can get whatever.
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: Dog you want.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It's a Samoyed, so it... I mean, it costs in
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the thousands, I'm guessing, right?
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: Oh, I'm sure. And it's probably... He.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Didn't pick this up at the kennel.
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: No, he didn't just adopt it. No. But....
• 36:28
  Speaker 19: He did mention that the Hilfiger creative team had been
• 36:31
  Speaker 19: speaking about casting a dog for the shoot, and he
• 36:34
  Speaker 19: suggested his own dog.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: We figured, why not her?
• 36:37
  Speaker 19: She crushed it and actually fit into the Tommy aesthetic, too.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice.
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: Those are some of my favorite shots.
• 36:43
  Speaker 19: The dog also appeared in a stylish video accompanying the
• 36:47
  Speaker 19: athlete's Hilfiger announcement, which was filmed in New York.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the dog already has more social media followers
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: than most anyone.
• 36:57
  Speaker 19: This dog has probably lived a better life than 75%
• 37:02
  Speaker 19: of the people on this earth.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Probably eats better than we do.
• 37:07
  Speaker 19: That dog probably gets a nice, well-cooked ribeye or some chicken.
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: Anything you can imagine.
• 37:15
  Speaker 19: This dog is probably getting on his private jet, which
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: I'm sure he has his own seat and everything.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, his own room.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his own bed for sure.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: He has his own penthouse inside of their penthouse, you know?
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Lionel Richie, TMZ is reporting, has been hospitalized. He told
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: his audience Saturday night in St. Louis, he was feeling
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a little dizzy, sat down on a chair on center stage,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: cut the show a little bit short. was sipping electrolytes
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: throughout the show. It's being reported that they're hoping it's a, quote,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: dehydration issue and that he would be discharged a little
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: later today. Richie is is seventy seven.
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: You better be careful, Ricky.
• 38:17
  Speaker 19: I also heard that something happened in the story. I
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: don't remember if it was in June or there was
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: another performance where he kind of got a little iffy.
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: And again, I could be remembering wrong. My brain isn't
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: the best, but... So switching gears, because I don't feel
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: like we ever talk about this guy, so why not?
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: Let's throw him in the mix.
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Jared Leto has quietly offloaded his massive elevation, a former
• 38:43
  Speaker 19: Air Force compound.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Was Jared Leto a Joker?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Did he play a Joker in the Batman ride?
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: It was the one with Harley Quinn.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, not Harley Quinn, obviously Harley Quinn, but what's
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: her name? Oh, my gosh. She's Barbie. She's everyone thinks
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: she's fantastic.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Do you know who I'm talking about?
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: Yes, I do. That one girl?
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: I'm so sorry I'm blanking on her name because she's wonderful.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: That one blonde girl.
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: Anyways. Yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 19: Though she's in other movies besides those ones that were
• 39:12
  Speaker 19: actually great too. Okay.
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: But anyways, the timing of the sale might raise some eyebrows.
• 39:18
  Speaker 19: So the actor and singer sold his 14,694 square foot
• 39:23
  Speaker 19: mansion in May for 12 million, a tidy profit after
• 39:26
  Speaker 19: buying the pad for $ 5 million back in 2015. The six-bedroom, five-bedroom,
• 39:32
  Speaker 19: or sorry, six-bedroom, five-bathroom home, which sits on 1.4-acre, 1.4-acre lot.
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: I couldn't say that. That seems cheap. It does have
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: a colorful history.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: 14,000 square feet.
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: Yes, and it does have a colorful history, Chip. It
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: previously was a U.S.
• 39:52
  Speaker 19: Air Force installation with connections to the country's atomic bomb program.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, good, Josh.
• 39:59
  Speaker 19: Army training films and Air Force newsreels were also shot
• 40:04
  Speaker 19: at the property during the Cold War, and the short
• 40:07
  Speaker 19: reels were featured in huge stars like Bob Hope, Jimmy.
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Stewart, James Garner. Yeah, there was a couple of those.
• 40:15
  Speaker 19: The main structure has um, three 35 millimeter screen.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Of course it does.
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: And temperature control film.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, good gosh.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: It also has a soundstage.
• 40:26
  Speaker 19: Um, his decision to let the place go comes during
• 40:29
  Speaker 19: a particularly turbulent life, uh, with the house selling just
• 40:34
  Speaker 19: two months before the BBC release. It's documentary in which
• 40:38
  Speaker 19: multiple women accused him.
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: Of sexual assault. Several. So I guess we might be
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: talking about him or not. Several allegations against him.
• 40:45
  Speaker 19: First, came up in the British newspaper last year.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Margot Robbie, by the way, is who we're looking at.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Margot Robbie, thank you. Yes, of course. No problem.
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: She's wonderful.
• 40:57
  Speaker 19: But yeah, she starred with him.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: When he was a joker. Let's see.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Jim Curtis are still in their, quote,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: honeymoon phase. Curtis opened up about his relationship during an
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: appearance yesterday on the Jamie Kern Lima show.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I have no idea who that is.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Sharing rare details about how the couple navigate disagreements, how
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: he has been welcomed into Jen's close-knit circle of friends
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: more than a year into dating.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Curtis, listen to me now. is a hypnotherapist and life coach.
• 41:47
  Speaker 19: Makes sense while they're still in a honeymoon state.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, good gosh.
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: What did he do to her?
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. What did you do to her? They've been
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: linked since July of last year. When she made it
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Instagram official, like you do. When Kern Lima asked whether
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: he and Jen use a particular prayer she and her
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: husband turn to during disagreements, they say, we do a
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: lot of meditation, we do a lot of talk, and
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: joked that just because they're still in a honeymoon phase... They.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Don't necessarily need the relationship equivalent of, quote, big sledgehammers
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: to work through problems.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I think this one's going to last forever.
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: He has, and he's saying it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I see this.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: You know, she has done so well with past relationships.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I think this one is going to last forever.
• 42:58
  Speaker 19: You know, I hope so, though, because poor Jen, she
• 43:02
  Speaker 19: needs something, you know, some kind of stable.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: First of all, she's not poor. So let's say that.
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: I didn't mean it like that.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: No, but her, well, maybe it's just her choice.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you. Finally, the truth.
• 43:22
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Finally, some truth.
• 43:25
  Speaker 19: Maybe don't pick anyone who seems like you're tight because
• 43:28
  Speaker 19: you're tight.
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: Not doing that great.
• 43:33
  Speaker 19: Did you know that Kanye West is having some legal issues?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 43:39
  Speaker 19: It's not that surprising, but apparently Kanye West is, or he,
• 43:42
  Speaker 19: whatever the heck he goes by, his former staffer is
• 43:45
  Speaker 19: making moves in court to prevent the musician from claiming
• 43:48
  Speaker 19: he wasn't in his.
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: Right mind as a defense in their legal battle.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, what else?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: What other kind of defense would you take if you're Kanye?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: We know he's not in his right mind.
• 43:58
  Speaker 19: That's true. Benjamin Provo, who worked for the Musicians Donna
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: Academy in 2021 says he wants the judge to block
• 44:07
  Speaker 19: you for making the claim he was out and he
• 44:09
  Speaker 19: was of unsound mind when he was discriminating against Benjamin.
• 44:14
  Speaker 19: Benjamin claims Kanye is pulling this insanity defense card right
• 44:17
  Speaker 19: before the case is scheduled to go to trial and
• 44:19
  Speaker 19: never once produced any documents or provided any testament whatsoever.
• 44:23
  Speaker 19: or testimony about the issue to this point. He says,
• 44:27
  Speaker 19: even if it was relevant, Kanye had not turned over
• 44:30
  Speaker 19: any medical records or selected an expert to testify about
• 44:33
  Speaker 19: the impact of his mental health issues to claims of
• 44:37
  Speaker 19: this case.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: You know, we know that there are periods of time
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: when Kanye goes off his meds, right?
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: Yes. Yes.
• 44:46
  Speaker 19: He makes them usually very public when he is off
• 44:51
  Speaker 19: those meds.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: But.
• 44:53
  Speaker 19: He's also claiming that Kanye repeatedly indicated that he had
• 44:58
  Speaker 19: been of.
• 44:58
  Speaker 9: Sound mind during the events underlying the case, which I
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: mean this in the nicest way possible.
• 45:04
  Speaker 19: But when somebody is constantly saying they're of sound mind, typically.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love I love this. I love this.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Benjamin claims he was fired because of his hairstyles. And
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: that Kanye was rough on black employees, but softer on
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: white employees.
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: I'm just laughing at the hairstyle.
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: The other one.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Hairstyle.
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Hairstyle.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: Could you imagine if that's what got you fired?
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Beyonce is donating 200 GERD to support relief efforts from
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: flood victims in Indiana through her. Bay Good Foundation.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: The foundation shared a post on its official Instagram account
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: about the effort. Announcing a donation of $ 200, 000 to help
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: with relief efforts in Indiana. The funds will go to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: City Life Center, an angel by nature that's on the
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: ground guiding communities most affected following the record flooding. that
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: destroyed infrastructure, leaving more than 1,000 people without homes. If
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you'd like to help those impacted by the disaster, please consider.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Making a donation to paygood.org. Look, that's a wonderful thing.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I hope it does great.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: But when and if I give to stuff like this,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be through an organization like this.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I will find direct ways. Does that make sense?
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: Yes, you're not incorrect.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Because generally speaking, and I don't know about this foundation.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about it. I hope it's great.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Generally speaking, these foundations have expense rates that may go
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: up to 25 or 30%, right?
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: So that if you give $ 100... 30.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Of that ain't going to people with floods. And that's
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: if it's a good foundation. You know what I'm saying?
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's if these people are really intent on that
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: $ 70 going to a really good cause. So, like I said,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about it. I'm just talking in generalities here, Bay.
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: Well- And to be fair, you've had some experience with these. Yes.
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: You've seen how these fundraisers work.
• 47:46
  Speaker 16: I do.
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: Time and time again.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: So.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: Just make your own decision.
• 47:51
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Take Chip's advice.
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: Do we want to talk about Doja Cat?
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, we have to talk about Doja Cat. I don't
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: know how long it's been.
• 48:03
  Speaker 19: I know.
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: It's been a minute. But Doja admitted to abusing cocaine
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: in the past.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 48:08
  Speaker 15: I'm sorry.
• 48:09
  Speaker 19: But that is, if you're a musician or a chorus,
• 48:12
  Speaker 19: they run you like a horse, so you have.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: To have that power. You're right. You're right. Not the
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: right form. It's very, very few of these people that
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: aren't taking something to be awake on stage at night. Or, and,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: to go to sleep afterward.
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: Agreed. But she's insisting that she is well past that now.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 48:35
  Speaker 19: In a new TikTok, because I feel like TikTok is
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: now the other place where people, you know, confirm stuff.
• 48:41
  Speaker 19: The rapper says she did struggle with the drug for
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: about eight years. Or, sorry, with the drug about eight
• 48:48
  Speaker 19: years ago.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: Which, I mean... Okay.
• 48:52
  Speaker 19: Um, Dosha had also posted another video earlier the day,
• 48:55
  Speaker 19: acknowledging that she had problems with alcohol and weed.
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: So we had, we've got alcohol, we got weed, we
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: got Coke.
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 49:02
  Speaker 19: Uh, I was never an alcoholic, but I definitely had problems. Uh,
• 49:06
  Speaker 19: during the clip, she talks about how mental health issues
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: and social media culture can be a doozy of a
• 49:11
  Speaker 19: combo and addresses critics who call her demonic. She calls
• 49:16
  Speaker 19: the internet a breeding ground for bleeping, projecting. So you
• 49:20
  Speaker 19: shouldn't give online trolls and bullies too much.
• 49:23
  Speaker 16: Of your energy.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You know, that may be the only thing Doja Cat's
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: ever said that I agree with.
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that. Let's do some birthdays.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Sunday, Elizabeth Ashley From Evening Shade was 87.

• 50:05
  Speaker 1: 54. And still looks really good, I might add.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: And I don't think, unless it's been the most phenomenal
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: work I've ever seen, I don't think she's had work done.
• 50:17
  Speaker 19: No, I think she's actually spoken out about that.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: So good for you, girl.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Here's a prickly entertainer who I like. But Van Morrison

  Speaker 1: to 5 with Dolly. Turns 87 today. And Archie Bell
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: of the Drells from Houston, Texas, did a little dance
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: called the Tighten Up when he was 18 years old
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: and overseas in the military when that song was released
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: and went to number one.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: He is 82 today. Wow.

• 51:42
  Speaker 3: How old is she?
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: I mean, Gloria Estefan is 69.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: I've eaten at her restaurant in Miami Beach, by the way.
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: Is it good?
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. It's Cuban food, as you might suspect.
• 51:54

  Speaker 4: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
• 53:15
  Speaker 21: Schulte Roofing, the home of the bulletproof roof.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: I'm Trevor Beck with your Rangers report. Did the Rangers
