- 0:02Speaker 1: for the first hour with the where Craig is at
- 0:06Speaker 1: and all that detail is coming up, But it is
- 0:07Speaker 1: a fire me up Friday here and glad to have
- 0:10Speaker 1: you with us on a beautiful Friday afternoon in Austin, Texas.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Eighty seven degrees sunny outside. And oh yeah, it is
- 0:18Speaker 1: a college football weekend. It's an NFL weekend, it's a
- 0:22Speaker 1: World Series weekend, it's an NHL weekend, it's an NBA
- 0:26Speaker 1: opening weekend. I'm glad to have you with us. I
- 0:29Speaker 1: am Camberon Parker. Craig Way is wheels down in Nashville, Tennessee,
- 0:37Speaker 1: where in less than twenty four hours, actually about twenty
- 0:40Speaker 1: five hours. In fifteen or so minutes, the Texas Longhorns
- 0:45Speaker 1: will return to the Gridirons will take on Vanderbilt at
- 0:49Speaker 1: First Bank Stadium in their first ever SEC Conference matchup
- 0:55Speaker 1: against the Vanderbilt Commandores, who are as Centric Golden describe
- 1:00Speaker 1: them on yesterday's Thursday media availability, are not our grandparents,
- 1:05Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Commodore's. They are a new team under Clark Lee,
- 1:08Speaker 1: who's done a fantastic job. Of course, they upset Alabama
- 1:12Speaker 1: already this season and are looking to pull off a
- 1:16Speaker 1: second Music City miracle. But hopefully Steve Sarkisian Quin Yours
- 1:22Speaker 1: and the Longhorns have something to say about that as they
- 1:26Speaker 1: try and bounce back from their loss to Georgia this
- 1:29Speaker 1: past weekend. But Craig is wheels down and it's funny,
- 1:34Speaker 1: We've only had you think about it. Two road games
- 1:38Speaker 1: this season for Texas, of course, Michigan in Week two
- 1:41Speaker 1: and Oklahoma and the Red River Rovrey. Now, our Friday
- 1:46Speaker 1: show was replaced by the Red River preview show where Craig, myself,
- 1:51Speaker 1: Mark Henry, and Mike Cars were alive at bar W
- 1:54Speaker 1: off of Maple Street in Dallas, So instead of me
- 1:58Speaker 1: being back in the studio while Craig was setting up
- 2:01Speaker 1: in Dallas, we were already up there, so we didn't
- 2:02Speaker 1: worry about that. But the one really true road game
- 2:06Speaker 1: for Texas was Michigan, and of course Craig was still
- 2:09Speaker 1: traveling up to Ann Arbor. And unlike other setups with
- 2:13Speaker 1: Texas Sports where it's a pretty simple setup, Texas Football
- 2:17Speaker 1: Radio broadcast obviously there's a lot to it, so it
- 2:20Speaker 1: takes a lot of setting up a lot of equipment
- 2:22Speaker 1: being moved their place on the Longhorn equipment truck. They
- 2:25Speaker 1: had their own social media account, as I'm sure most
- 2:28Speaker 1: Texas fans are already aware of. And so our Longhorn
- 2:31Speaker 1: Radio Network equipment is on that truck and believe it
- 2:35Speaker 1: was arriving at about one o'clock one thirty in Greg Clingansmith,
- 2:40Speaker 1: the Longhorn Radio Network football engineer, is beginning to set
- 2:45Speaker 1: up the broadcast radio booths. So until that is ready
- 2:49Speaker 1: for Craig Way, he will be waiting to join us. So,
- 2:54Speaker 1: like Michigan, I will be taking you through the first
- 2:57Speaker 1: hour and a half. In like Michigan, I am joined
- 3:01Speaker 1: by Andrews Simmel, who has been waiting patiently. And it's
- 3:04Speaker 1: been a few weeks, but glad to be back with you. Zimo,
- 3:08Speaker 1: how are you on this frame? I am doing great, Cam.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Have you already made all the ninety six year jokes?
- 3:13Speaker 1: Have you already done all the jokes about it's been
- 3:15Speaker 1: ninety six years since Texas and Banda have played. No,
- 3:19Speaker 1: but I haven't written my intro for tomorrow's Longhorns game
- 3:23Speaker 1: day show, So I'm guess I'm gonna I'm legally required
- 3:27Speaker 1: to work that in there, am I.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse didn't exist, Penicillin was just rolling out. There's
- 3:32Speaker 2: a lot of cool stuff ninety six years ago.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Cam. I'm just saying it's all there for you. Yeah,
- 3:38Speaker 3: and I.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Don't think I existed as well, and neither did you,
- 3:41Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, almost one hundred years since the
- 3:44Speaker 1: last time these two schools have made excited that the
- 3:47Speaker 1: preview that game as well.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Let's get you a preview of today's show.
- 3:52Speaker 1: So Craig is hoping, hoping to join us for at
- 3:55Speaker 1: least hour two, so the three o'clock hour of the show,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and if not, me and Andrew will take you through it.
- 4:01Speaker 1: But we're gonna have some dialogue about Texas Vanderbilt. Some
- 4:04Speaker 1: really fun college football games this week, and including one
- 4:08Speaker 1: between the two remaining undefeated teams in the Southeastern Conference,
- 4:14Speaker 1: that is the LSU Tigers in the Texas A and
- 4:18Speaker 1: M Aggies. So we'll talk about that game a little bit.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That could have big implications on the college football playoff
- 4:26Speaker 1: and also, you know, depending on who wins that game,
- 4:30Speaker 1: of course, Texas may end up facing an undefeated A
- 4:33Speaker 1: and M team close out the year, and maybe they
- 4:35Speaker 1: not that game could decide who gets into the SEC
- 4:38Speaker 1: tablet game. Maybe it won't a lot of football to
- 4:40Speaker 1: be played, but that will have a lot of eyes
- 4:43Speaker 1: on that game across the college football country. Some of
- 4:47Speaker 1: their games as well also talk a little NFL, including
- 4:50Speaker 1: last night's Thursday night football game where the Vikings now
- 4:54Speaker 1: and Andrew, this is close to your heart, have lost
- 4:56Speaker 1: two games in a row, as the Los Angeles Rams
- 4:59Speaker 1: showing some mis a life three in four right now,
- 5:02Speaker 1: Puka Nakua returning, Cooper Cup returning. Last night in the
- 5:06Speaker 1: Rams actually looked like a decent football team when they
- 5:10Speaker 1: have some people, and we'll talk about that game. We'll
- 5:12Speaker 1: talk about the upcoming slate. I think it's Week nine,
- 5:15Speaker 1: including a really big something night football game between two
- 5:19Speaker 1: teams who are limping right now, a must win game
- 5:22Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers and the Dallas Cowboys. And
- 5:25Speaker 1: of course, in typical Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys fashion, the
- 5:30Speaker 1: biggest news story heading into the weekend. It's not about
- 5:33Speaker 1: the actual football game itself. It's about the Cowboys stadium tours.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Was that on your bucket list going into this week, Andrew,
- 5:41Speaker 1: to take a tour of the Star.
- 5:42Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to take a tour
- 5:45Speaker 2: of where grown net are lifting weights and working out.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I argue with my friends all the time. Is it
- 5:49Speaker 2: it's not weird for us as journalists to go watch
- 5:52Speaker 2: dudes workout. It's weird if you're getting a ticket to
- 5:54Speaker 2: watch your favorite team workout.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I think that's a line too far. I under wanting
- 6:00Speaker 1: to tour facility. I mean, I would love the tour
- 6:03Speaker 1: of the Vikings new Stadium because that thing looks incredible.
- 6:06Speaker 1: But when there's grown people when they're actually like working out. Now,
- 6:10Speaker 1: if it's like practice, different, but if they're working out
- 6:13Speaker 1: or just going through, Like, who wants to see a
- 6:14Speaker 1: grown man in the hot tub?
- 6:16Speaker 3: Right? It's Ben, the Neuci's in the hot tub? Ben, Ben?
- 6:21Speaker 2: What are we doing here? I'll go as far as
- 6:24Speaker 2: to say, you work in radio, working radio. Clearly when
- 6:26Speaker 2: they take the tours of like the high school or
- 6:29Speaker 2: elementary school kids through the radio station. Have you ever
- 6:31Speaker 2: been on one of those where you're working and they're
- 6:33Speaker 2: like tapping the glass when you're on air. It's happening
- 6:36Speaker 2: to me a couple of times, actually do that. No,
- 6:38Speaker 2: it's kind of weird.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Cam.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I don't know, if you've ever been on the other
- 6:41Speaker 2: end of the glass of the zoo, it's not pretty.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And there's a reason why most Cowboy players who were
- 6:47Speaker 1: interviewed for that story, and who some who weren't even
- 6:50Speaker 1: interviewed and I have spoken out, have said it is
- 6:52Speaker 1: a distraction. Jerry Jones said, it's not a fantastic disconnect
- 6:56Speaker 1: and shine some light into one of the most dysfunctional
- 6:58Speaker 1: organizations in the league and one that puts money over
- 7:01Speaker 1: winning on the football field. But that's another segment perhaps,
- 7:05Speaker 1: But again we'll previous some NFL action as well, coming
- 7:07Speaker 1: up in Week eight of the NFL season. Week nine
- 7:11Speaker 1: of college football NBA is underway. And Andrew, we'll talk
- 7:15Speaker 1: a little Spurs Mavericks. Want to get your thoughts on
- 7:18Speaker 1: last night's game, and so maybe some week one over
- 7:21Speaker 1: reactions as well. Now it is Friday, and of course
- 7:25Speaker 1: we have Inconceivable every day, but on Friday, Andrew, what
- 7:30Speaker 1: does inconceivable mean?
- 7:32Speaker 2: It is a Florida Man Friday Cam. It's my favorite
- 7:35Speaker 2: day of the week. It's my favorite time to come
- 7:37Speaker 2: on the show because I love the Florida Man segments.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I absolutely love them. Favorite part of the show. And
- 7:43Speaker 1: Andrew likes to spearhead our Florida man Friday. So what
- 7:48Speaker 1: is the fruit hanging load today or what?
- 7:51Speaker 3: Brother? The fruit has never been lower.
- 7:54Speaker 2: This is another one of those days where I've come
- 7:56Speaker 2: on and I was like, there's too many stories.
- 7:58Speaker 3: We only have so much time. Many Florida band stories,
