Speaker 1: We hope to help you get over the hump for
0:03
some others. And we always say this Wednesday might be Monday,
0:07
or it might be Friday, whatever it might be, We're
0:10
glad to have you with us. Welcome to the program
0:11
this afternoon here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
0:15
My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with us.
0:18
US today has a different designation. If you were listening
0:24
to the program yesterday, you heard the erstwhile producer of
0:31
this radio program, Cameron Parker, detail a most unfortunate thing
0:37
that happened to him. I believe on Monday evening he
0:40
was lifting weights and either put too much on the
0:44
bar and didn't have someone to spot him, or just
0:48
did something wrong while weightlifting. As a result of that,
0:53
it has incapacitated him. It has actually debilitated him to
0:59
the point where and I'll tell you the story of
1:04
just how debilitating it was for him coming up and
1:07
inconceivable because it kind of belongs in there. But the
1:09
bottom line isn't I'm making fun of him. I hope
1:11
he's gonna be getting better. That the doctors are on
1:14
my He's not here today, and hopefully he'll be able
1:17
to return tomorrow. A reminder, I'm going to be out
1:21
tomorrow and Friday, this being the open date week. You've
1:24
got some personal things that I'll be taking care of,
1:28
and Linda and I will be heading up to the
1:29
Dallas Forward Metroplex as well for the weekend. So I'll
1:31
be out tomorrow and Friday, but hopefully Cam will be
1:34
back tomorrow and also Andrew Zimma will be checking in
1:42
also with him tomorrow and Friday. In the meantime, speaking
1:46
of firstwhile our guy behind the counter today, if you will,
1:51
on the board, is the talented producer of the Morning Kickoff,
1:57
which you hear each and every weekday morning mon Day
2:00
through Friday, seven am to nine am here on Sports
2:04
Medio AM thirteen hundred the Zone. He is the eyes
2:07
and ears and the production value that brings you my
2:13
cardball hard and the world's Strongest Man, Mark Henry. But
2:18
it's Khalil Randall who's the secret sauce to the whole deal.
2:20
It's good to have you with us going. We do
2:22
get comfortable with that microphone there like you do with
2:24
those guys. You don't think I was gonna waste your
2:26
vocal talents today. While you're stepping in, did you. I
2:29
did not think I would be speaking today. No, you're
2:31
going to be speaking. You're going to be speaking. I'm
2:34
glad to have you with it now. First of all,
2:37
because I did several years of work in morning drive,
2:39
so I know that the kind of toll that can
2:42
take on a body. How are you feeling right now?
2:44
You're holding up all right? I'm holding up all right.
2:46
Speaker 2: I have some days where I just randomly pass out
2:49
in the middle of the day, and then there are
2:51
other days where I can just wake up about four
2:53
and then go to sleep at you know, midnight, and
2:55
I'm just fine and you're good to go. Today is
2:57
one of those days.
2:58
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, that's because you're young. He still kind of
3:01
think it doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks.
3:03
So that's good. I'm glad to have you. Thank you
3:05
for stepping in today because you know it was tough
3:08
on Cam. Hopefully he'll be able to turn things around.
3:11
Here's what's going on that we're gonna tell you about.
3:14
Coming up with a few minutes. We're gonna be joined
3:16
by a gentleman who was on with you guys yesterday morning,
3:19
Bob Ibock and He's got a pretty unique offer, does
3:22
he not? It does.
3:24
Speaker 2: It's actually very very interesting, very incredible, and I think
3:28
you should definitely tune into.
3:30
Speaker 1: The next segment if you want to find know what
3:31
it is. Okay, all right, this is a guy I've
3:33
known for a long time when I was here doing
3:35
my first tour of duty with iHeart, even when it
3:40
was called Clear Channel Radio before it was iHeart, even
3:43
when it was something before iHeart. Clear Channel purchased it
3:48
all the way back to the Butler broadcasting days of
3:51
nineteen ninety seven, my first year work. In the first
3:54
go around from ninety seven through twenty sixteen, nineteen years,
3:59
I had this on several times because he deals in collectibles,
4:05
and they're very unique collectibles and they're really marketed toward
4:11
specific fan bases. I still have a basketball, one of
4:16
the collective collective basketballs from when the Dallas Mavericks won
4:19
the NBA title in twenty eleven. Oh wow, through Bob
4:22
Eyeback and this group Nico Sports. So we'll hear from
4:27
him coming because this will specifically appeal to long corn
4:31
football fans. All right, So there's that the Wildcard series
4:36
continue today. Houston Astros raise some eyebrows by virtue of
4:41
their loss yesterday, as they fell yesterday to the Detroit
4:47
Tigers in game one of that wildcards here, So they
4:49
have to win the day or the season ends. And
4:51
if they do win the day, there'll be one more game,
4:53
all right now, I can tell you it's scoreless in
4:54
the bottom of the second inning in Game two. Will
4:57
keep you updated on that one. Also Game two, Kansas
5:00
City and Baltimore playing at Oriel Park at Camden Yards.
5:04
KC won Game three. Of the four teams on the
5:07
road won yesterday. Detroit beat Astars three to one. Kansas
5:13
City beat Baltimore. On the road won nothing. Bobby Witt
5:16
Junior had the key hit at RBI single in the
5:18
sixth inning, and the Royals bullpen made it stand up.
5:22
The New York Mets, who spotted Milwaukee a couple of leads,
5:27
had a huge seventh inning and came all over sixth
5:32
inning and came all the way back and won the
5:35
ball game. The brewer of the Mets beat the Brewers
5:37
eight to four, so the Mets winning in Milwaukee. Now,
5:39
last night business was usual. San Diego Padres, who might
5:42
be the most dangerous team in all of Baseball shot
5:44
out the Atlanta Breys four to nothing, so they were
5:46
the only home team to win yesterday, so they're up
5:49
one game to none. Game two of their series is tonight,
5:51
so all of these game twos are being played. The
5:53
thing about the Wildcards series is you have three games.
6:00
It's the best of three series. If it goes three games,
6:03
but they play all back to back to back, there's
6:06
no travel. It's at one ballpark in this case, in
6:10
the case of Houston, all three games. If it gets
6:13
to three, we'll be at minu at May Park. Same
6:15
thing in Baltimore, same thing in Milwaukee, and the same
6:18
thing as well in San Diego. Then when you get
6:21
to the Division series this weekend, it gets to a
6:24
best of five where it's two games, the first two
6:27
games at the higher seeded team, and then it could
6:30
be as many as two games at the lower seeded team,
6:32
and if there's a fifth, if necessary game, it'd be
6:35
back at the higher seeded team. You have that, then
6:38
the NLCS and the ALCS those are best of seven series,
6:41
and then of course the World Series, which is best
6:43
of seven. So that's how that goes. We'll keep you
6:46
updated on that. We'll also hear from log Horn's hit
6:49
football coach Steve sarkisha, Yes, it's a bye week. Yes,
6:53
his only local media availability was on Monday, the press
6:58
conference that we brought TOILL Live and of course Hardball
7:02
Mike card jed I are down there along with Cameron
7:04
Parker down there. Khalil is running it all back here
7:09
and we bring you Sark's news conference every Monday morning
7:13
at eleven thirty is part of our LONGRRNE Monday presentation.
7:16
We begin our coverage at eleven and then the press
7:18
conference starts at eleven thirty. And this week, because it's
7:21
an open date on the schedule, the bye week on
7:23
the schedule, it's the only local media availability for Sark.
7:28
There will be no local Thursday zoom media availability like
7:32
he normally does. However, however, Wednesday is SEC teleconference day.
7:38
So Sark, even on a bye week, participated that we
7:40
have some audio for that, so so we'll bring that
7:42
to you. So we've got that all right. So those
7:45
are the things there with that, and we'll here's some
7:47
more from Rodney Terry, long worn men's basketball coach. We'll
7:51
hear from him as well on what's going on with
7:54
Texas basketball. There was a media availability yesterday. We've got
7:57
to bring you some of the sound from that, so
7:58
we'll do that as well. So lot to get to.
8:00
But up next, Bob Iyback joins us and he'll visit
8:04
with us. We'll do that when we continue here on
8:06
Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and where you
8:08
always listen to us for free on the iHeartRadio app. See,
8:11
this is a yachtwart Rock Wednesday. So we play some
8:13
yacht rock tunes because I'm old enough to be into
8:17
the yacht rock genre. Our next guest might be able
8:22
to qualify for yacht rock status as well. I know this.
8:25
He qualifies for being a great source of information on
8:31
sports and collectibles. These are good friend by bye Back,
8:34
who joins us from Nico Sports, joins us on the
8:36
hotline right now. Bob, it's great to hear from you again.
8:39
How are you.
8:40
Speaker 3: I am doing great, Craig, It's always nice to be
8:42
with you. We go back a long way. I guess
8:44
we are oldies, but goldies, right.
8:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good way. That's a good way to
8:50
describe it. I was telling Khalil in the first segment
8:54
of the show. I said, you and I do go
8:57
back quite a bit. We've known each other for several years,
9:00
and I said, I still have that collectible basketball that
9:05
your group had when the Mavericks won the NBA title
9:08
in twenty eleven. That white panel on one side of
9:10
it was really cool. No, I remember that. Yep, I
9:13
still have that as a Mavericks fan. So I should
9:17
have gotten in touch with of course it was during
9:18
the pandemic. I should have gotten in touch with it
9:20
when the Dodgers won the World Series in twenty twenty,
9:22
because I'm a to the death Dodger fan. But I
9:27
but it's funny because I know we have a lot
9:30
of Astra fans in this town and they're on pins
9:32
and needles today because the Astros are down a game
9:35
and it's scoreless right now on the top of the
9:36
third in Game two with Detroit. But tell folks a
9:41
little bit about how you do what you do, because
9:44
I think it's really fascinating the way that you can
9:48
connect with the sports fans of specific teams with these
9:52
really unique collectibles.
9:54
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it goes back to my years when
9:56
I was with the Chicago Cubs in the nineteen eighties.
9:59
I was brought to Chicago by Dallas Green, the general manager.
10:04
I knew Dallas when I was a sports editor in Philadelphia,
10:07
and when they won the World Series in nineteen eighty,
10:09
he brought me in as one of his assistants and
10:12
I got involved. I member in spring training with the
10:16
Make a Wish Foundation and we were granting They were
10:20
just starting off granting wishes to kids who had life
10:22
threatening medical conditions. And got involved in fundraising with them.
10:27
And then many many years later, after my career with
10:30
the Cubs, I went with Kemper Sports. Ran in their
10:32
sports division for about seven years, the Maui Invitational out
10:36
in Hawaii and some other things. I continued to do
10:40
a lot of charnable work, and when I ran into
10:43
the folks at Nico Sports it was nineteen ninety six,
10:47
I put together a program for them. They were a
10:51
client of mine at the time, and they've raised gosh,
10:55
just in the last six years three point two million dollars.
10:58
Speaker 1: For a number of charities.
11:01
Speaker 3: And what I'll be talking about today is something that's
11:04
going to help out the neighborhood Long Oornge program because
11:07
we've got a fascinating football for Long Orange fans, and
11:11
you're going to want to grab piece of paper, pan
11:14
whatever you want to joss up and down. I've got
11:16
a phone number on a website i'll give out in
11:19
a few moments, Craig about this amazing one hundredth anniversary
11:23
football that salutes Daryl Kay Royal, Texas, Memorial State and
11:28
one hundredth anniversary. It'll have a beautiful color panoramic image
11:32
on one of the panels of the ball, which will
11:35
keep a pristine looking for years to come because everything
11:38
is embossed on here won't fade, and only twenty and
11:42
twenty four of these footballs will ever be produced. It's
11:45
going to raise money, as I mentioned for that neighborhood
11:48
long Orange program. There are one hundred and nineteen dollars
11:51
ninety five cents each and they are selling very quickly.
11:55
You'll get an individually numbered certificate of authenticity and it's
12:00
full size, it's fully licensed, and it's also got some
12:04
really cool panels on there. I'll just kind of describe
12:07
that before I give out that phone number. The top
12:10
panel has got the hundredth anniversary logo, stadium History, Championship History.
12:16
The second panel right below that salutes the SEC season,
12:19
the very first one for the Longhorns this year. They
12:22
got off to a good start and beat Mississippi State
12:24
in their first SEC game this past weekend. I've got
12:28
the Texas helmet logo there, and then we list all
12:30
the teams in the SEC right there on the side
12:33
of that panel. The last panel is really my This
12:36
is the one that people are going to say, Wow,
12:39
I got to get this football because it's got a
12:41
full color panoramic image of Daryl K. Royal Texas Memorial
12:46
State in there, taken on a sun drenched afternoon about
12:50
two years ago helicopter aerial shot, and it stretches from
12:53
the left to the right on that panel. And if
12:57
you've never been to the stadium where you've been there
12:59
many times times, this is something that you can showcase
13:02
to your friends and family members and keep. Because it's
13:06
in my sports background and covering so many games, it's
13:10
certainly among the top five stadiums that I've visited over
13:14
the years when I was a sports rutter and of
13:16
course a broadcaster. If you'd like to go ahead and
13:19
get this football, get only twenty and twenty four be made.
13:23
We're probably bordering in on halfway sold out. I would
13:26
not wait because you can get your Christmas shop and
13:29
done and for gifts and for the for the holiday season.
13:34
These will be set to you plenty of time to
13:35
get them before Thanksgiving. The toll free number again it's
13:39
it's one night, one hundred and nineteen dollars and ninety
13:41
five cents will snag you one of these footballs. Toll
13:44
free number is eight hundred three four five two eight
13:49
six eight eight hundred three four five twenty eight sixty eight.
13:54
Or go right to the website nicosports dot com, niksports
14:01
dot com. That's nikcosports dot com or eight hundred three
14:07
four five twenty eight sixty eight. I've got I'll tell
14:11
you what we could be talking in January during the
14:14
football playoffs because I don't see Longhorns. They got a
14:18
couple of tough games on their schedule, but Oklahoma course
14:21
coming up in Georgia and then that last game of
14:24
the season with Texas A and M. I think that
14:26
that may be the game that keeps them from either
14:30
being unbeaten or a one loss team, because I think
14:34
they can beat both Oklahoma and Georgia.
14:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see. Just for me to
14:39
add to this, what folks are what you just described
14:43
on the one panel. And for anybody that's been to
14:46
a Longhorn home game this year, you've seen on the
14:49
field that one hundredth anniversary logo that's on the field
14:53
at the twenty yard line. That's what it is on
14:55
one side, and the SEC logo on the other side.
14:58
So if you're wondering about the one hundredth logo, it's
15:00
really cool. The DKR logo there with the one hundred
15:04
that exact logo is replicated on the football what you
15:09
see on the fields, and then like you mentioned, on
15:11
the other side, the panoramic shot. Just looking at the
15:14
photo of it is just absolutely tremendous. And I remember,
15:18
you know the years that you've done these, and you've
15:21
done commemorative football and basketballs and baseballs for championship winning
15:26
teams and things like that. It's always creative. This might
15:29
be the most creative enterprise I've seen you do with
15:32
the football. To see that panoramic photo of the ball,
15:36
panoramic photo of the stadium on the ball.
15:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know, the owner of the Nico Sports,
15:42
Craig Midner, and he and his wife started the organization
15:45
back in nineteen ninety two. And Craig does a great
15:49
job in getting all the artworks together and being all
15:52
the creative that they put a lot of background and
15:56
foresight into making these.
15:57
Speaker 1: I mean people who have owned.
15:59
Speaker 3: Some these pieces of sports memorabilia, whether they be special
16:03
baseball bats or as you mentioned, championship basketballs and footballs.
16:09
There's a lot of the time and effort that goes
16:11
into making these. Uh, they just don't happen. And NICO
16:15
Sports is always very careful in making sure that everything
16:18
is officially licensed, approved, the artwork is correct. They take
16:23
a lot of time and effort to make these and
16:26
people have called up years later, like you said, and
16:29
they've had a basketball or a football that they bought
16:34
ten years ago and it's it looks just like they
16:37
popped it out of the case today.
16:38
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. That's that's how mine looked from twenty to
16:41
eleven for that Mavericks championship. And again the for folks
16:46
who are interested in it, they can call eight hundred
16:50
and three four five two eight six eight. That's eight
16:52
hundred three four five two eight six eight, or go
16:54
to nicosports dot com nik coo nco sports dot com.
16:58
While I got you on the phone because I know
17:01
of the many years you put in the baseball First
17:04
of all, you'll have to forgive me if I've already
17:06
asked you this question. Did you get to know and
17:09
work alongside my colleague and baseball broadcast partner Keith Morland
17:14
when you were with the gab Oh Zonk?
17:16
Speaker 3: Yeah. I played a lot of racquetball games with Zok too,
17:19
when we went on the caravan in the middle of
17:21
the winter to entertain at five o'clock in the morning.
17:25
Speaker 1: Wow.
17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you the redhead once. Once he got
17:29
them over going. Nobody could go from first to third
17:32
base like Zonk because Keith was just a brilliant, hard nose,
17:39
blue collar baseball player, and we couldn't have got it done.
17:43
In nineteen eighty four we won the National League East.
17:46
We had ninety six wins that year. He was a
17:49
big part of that season. We just had our eighty
17:51
four reunion the fortieth anniversary. Keith, I believe, was overseas.
17:58
Speaker 1: At the time and couldn't make it, but we.
18:00
Speaker 3: Had everybody back and we just had a great time.
18:03
It was the same weekend that Ryan Samberg got inducted
18:07
into the Cubs Hall of Fame, and he had a
18:10
statue presentation down at Wrigley fieldback in June, but we
18:15
missed ZNK And I know I was talking to Bobby
18:17
Janier and some of the other guys that were his
18:19
teammates and Rick Suckcliffe and they really missed not singing song.
18:23
So I hope he's doing well. I haven't talked to
18:26
him in a while, but he was one of my
18:28
favorite guys. Just a down the earth person, hard nosed guy.
18:32
And this is a he left everything out on the field.
18:35
He never gave it a bat up, and he never
18:38
was afraid to go ahead and not die for a
18:41
ball in the outfield.
18:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's still him, and yeah he's a valuable part
18:46
of our broadcast team. He'll actually step in And I
18:49
know you know this about him. When he came to
18:51
the University of Texas in nineteen seventy one seventy two,
18:54
when he came in there, he came in on a
18:57
football scholarship, Yes he did. He was a He was
19:01
a defensive back for coach Royal for two years and
19:03
then he went to baseball. As he'd liked to say,
19:05
he never calls Cliff Gustus and a dime in scholarship
19:09
money because he was on football scholarship. But then, of
19:13
course was an All American his last couple of years,
19:16
and for many years was the all time career hits
19:19
leader at the College World Series. And uh, but what
19:22
was my color analyst on the Long War and football
19:25
broadcasts for for nine years because he knows his football really,
19:29
really well. Then of course went back over the Cubs
19:31
and worked with him for three years, moved back to
19:33
Austin and still fills in for US on football. In fact,
19:36
he's going to fill in on both the Arkansas and
19:38
A and M broadcasts for US this year. So we're
19:40
looking well.
19:40
Speaker 3: I got to tell you two quick little things about
19:42
keithon real quick that at our anniversary, the forty anniversary,
19:48
we always talked about key points in that season, and
19:52
one of the ones that always stood out in my
19:53
mind was late actually was the beginning of August. We
19:57
had to beat the Mets four straight games, and I
19:59
think it was either in the second or the third game,
20:02
Keith got brushed back and a pitch by Mets pitcher
20:05
ed Lynch, and at that time everybody was talking to
20:10
the Cubs go to fade again, like they did in
20:12
the sixty nine and everything else. Keith went right to
20:15
the mound and Rode blocked ed Lynch and he didn't.
20:20
He faked him up high and hit him low. Down
20:23
went Lynch and down went the Mets. They never recovered
20:26
from that moment. And that was the That was the
20:31
big I think the turning point in our season. The
20:34
other thing is, and I don't know if Keith will
20:36
tell you this or not, I was doing a show
20:40
called cub fan Mania that we did from a local
20:42
restaurant and I brought in Keith as my guest host
20:48
and that was his start in broadcasting.
20:51
Speaker 1: Wow, did not know.
20:53
Speaker 3: You tell Zonki he still ows me some money from
20:55
those days getting them launched in his career because he
20:59
would come into the restaurant and he was just learning
21:02
the ropes of being a broadcaster. And you know what,
21:05
he came and within within two or three times of
21:08
being on the air, he was a.
21:10
Speaker 1: Natural, no doubt. And we always enjoy enjoy working with
21:15
him and having the opportunity. That's great stuff. Again, Uh
21:18
bye bye, Back with Nico Sports on with us here
21:21

six eight. That's eight hundred three four five to eight
21:54
six eight. Bob is always great to visit with you.
21:57
I have a feeling, yeah, maybe maybe if the log
21:59
worns h roll through and winter national title, maybe we're
22:02
visiting again in late January, end of February about a
22:05
commemorative National Championship football.
22:08
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure they'll be. If they're not going to
22:10
be in the top four. I think they're what ranked
22:12
number two now, but I think if they're gonna be
22:14
if it won't be in the top four, they certainly
22:17
will be in the top six or seven. So they'll
22:19
be in the playoff for sure, and they'll have a
22:22
good time in the SEC. They'll get they'll get battle
22:25
trained by you know, playing playing Georgia and some teams
22:29
like that, and of course Texas A and M at
22:31
the end of the year, so I think they'll be
22:33
there in the hunt. Certainly I'm gonna predict at least
22:36
be in the semifinals. If not in the final game.
22:39
Speaker 1: Well, we'll certainly hope that. Bob, it's always great a
22:41
visit with you. I appreciate the opportunity to catch up
22:43
with you, and great stuff about Keith Morland as well,
22:46
and I'll pass that along to Zong. I appreciate you

22:54
Give my best to Keith and give my phone number two.
22:59
And I'd love to itch up with Zokis. He was
23:01
always one of my favorites in the nine years I
23:04
was with the organization, and certainly I have fond memories
23:07
of him playing on our team, especially in nineteen eighty four.
23:11
Speaker 1: No doubt I'll be sure to do it. Thank you, Bob,

24:10
food eat or a junk food eat? Do you do

much of that?
24:12
Speaker 3: No?
24:12
Speaker 1: Not really good for you. Those of us who are
24:15
hopelessly trapped in that world sometimes come back. But let
24:19
me ask you this. We ever a fan of SpongeBob
24:22
square Pants, I love it one of my really shows.
24:25
Then you need to know that Wendy's is coming out
24:29
with a Krabby Patty. Really Yeah, it's called the Krabby
24:34
Patty Collab and it starts next Monday, is what it'll be.
24:40
And for those who wanted to know, you know, the
24:43
Krabby Patty, what's the name of the place where where
24:45
SpongeBob would get a Krabby Patty, The Crusty krab the
24:47
krusty krab. See, I knew, I knew you would know that. Okay.
24:52
So they announced that they're partnering with Paramount to celebrate
24:55
the twenty fifth anniversary of SpongeBob Wow by launching the
24:59
Krabby patt Collab. Wendy's is So. This collab features two
25:03
menu items that will be available at whin they'se Restaurants

25:13
vanilla frosty with a pineapple apple mango flavored pure swirl,
25:19
a first of its kind frosty flavor innovation. And then
25:23
they have the Crabby Patty Collab Burger. It's the take
25:26
on the famous burger in SpongeBob has a quarter poud
25:31
of beef, two slices of cheese, let us tomato, pickle
25:34
onion in a top secret crabby collab sauce on a
25:38
toasted bun begins next Tuesday. Okay, I'm excited about that,
25:42
all right. So even a person that's not so much
25:45
into the fast food you might be tempted to try
25:48
it out then, is what you're saying? Yes, okay, do
25:51
you like ice cream? I like frozen yogurt? Okay, learning
25:57
more about you is the day goes on here. Ghalil
26:02
Ben and Jerry's is one of the famous ice cream
26:04
companies the country. In fact, I did a tour of
26:08
their ice cream plant in Vermont back many many years ago.
26:13
But they're bringing back a flavor on October tenth, ten ten.
26:20
And the reason for that and the flavors, they're pumpkin cheesecake. Okay,
26:25
they're pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. And so it's got this
26:32
creamy frozen treat maybe with a thick gram crackers swirl
26:37
sixteen ounce pipe. They'll bring it out and they bring
26:41
it back in the fall. So they're bringing it back
26:43
next week on the tenth because it was rated a
26:46
ten out of ten on back in the day as
26:49
being that good in ice cream those of us who
26:51
are not in the pumpkin, eh, not so much. I
26:54
like chunky Monkey, you know, the banana verything like that. Yeah, yeah,
26:58
that's good. The cherries Garcia after Jerry Garcia. There's different
27:02
ones that I like. But you know anyway, that one's
27:06
coming next week. Okay, this is this is a nice gesture.
27:14
There are a lot of us who go through a
27:17
lot of headaches with air travel. Do you fly, munch,
27:22
I do not, Actually can't stand flying right now? Right well, well,
27:26
I understand that United Airlines passengers were pretty upset. This
27:32
happened a few days ago and it was going from
27:37
Houston to San Francisco, and they had some issues because
27:44
a Navy man had passed out and collapsed in the bathroom.
27:48
Prompted the pilot to ask if they're any medical professionals
27:51
on board to help, before announcing the plane would have
27:54
to land to seek help. So they landed in New Mexico.
27:58
All right, So they landed emergency stop in Albuquerque. Medical event,
28:02
they get him off the plane, but then they couldn't
28:06
take off again. All the passengers were asked to disembark
28:10
from the aircraft. They waited for a new flight crew
28:12
to ride because the other flight crew was out hours.
28:15
So this brought about a long, long delay one hundred
28:19
and fifty passengers, so they're really upset. So now it
28:22
gets in the nighttime. Passengers were eventually given fifteen dollar
28:26
food vouchers, but one of the passengers said, all the
28:29
airport restaurants were shut down. They were closed by that. Wow.
28:33
So the pilot who had to navigate the emergency landing
28:37
saw what was happening. So what did he do. He
28:41
ordered dozens, well thirty total pizzas from a local pizza
28:47
shop and had it delivered, and he went and hand
28:50
delivered these pizzas and gave out slices of pizzas to
28:53
the passengers. That's nice, pretty cool.
28:56
Speaker 2: I would appreciate that because I know in a situation
28:58
like that, I would be frustrated. I mean, fifteen dollars
29:01
voucher for food in the airport, it might get you
29:03
a back of chips.
29:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:04
Speaker 1: And then and then, like I said, they were all
29:06
closed anyway, so you can't get anything anyway. Thank goodness
29:09
he did that. Let's get caught up on all the
29:14
tropical storm stuff because it's it's kind of scary obviously
29:18
with the tragic stuff that happened with Hurricane Helene. They're
29:21
going to be cleaning up for a while in my
29:23
home state of North Carolina, in the western part of
29:25
the state, especially up in the mountains. So they have
29:29
been tracking three other storms in the Tropics free Fortunately
29:38
right now the most dangerous of these Kirk, which is
29:42
a Category two hurricane and could reach Cap four status.
29:47
It's starting to curve north in the Atlantic and not
29:51
go out into the Gulf and not and even east
29:54
of Bermuda what he calls him that. So here's this
29:57
churning storm that is going on in the Atlanta in
30:04
the Atlantic, and they said it could wind up being
30:08
one of the most powerful storms ever. But it's just
30:11
hanging out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so
30:14
unless you're flying or on a boat going across there,
30:17
you're probably not going to encounter it. And then by
30:19
the time it reaches the real cold water when you
30:21
get up north, it'll decompress after that. But they're watching that.
30:24
There's another storm directly behind that, but they think it's
30:28
just gonna, you know, follow the other one. It's going
30:30
to trail the hurricane Kirk. And then there's a third
30:33
one that is in the Gulf, but it's not really
30:38
well formed yet. It's not a well formed tropical it's
30:44
not even really a tropical depression right now. It doesn't
30:47
have a name on it yet. They said it's pretty
30:50
unorganized and they're hoping that that'll stay out of the area.
30:53
So that's that's good to know there, especially as the
30:55
folks are cleaning up from the in the aftermath of
30:58
Hurricane Helene. Okay, things, Are you a collector of things?
31:04
Speaker 4: Yes?
31:05
Speaker 1: Yes, I collect what do you collect? Manga? Basketball cards,
31:08
football cards? Okay? And pens from where places I visit?
31:12
All right, So you would be interested in collecting a
31:16
medallion then? Right?
31:18
Speaker 3: Oh?
31:18
Speaker 1: Yes, would you be interested in collecting a medallion that
31:21
contains the original mold from the discovery of penicillin? Actually? Yes? Okay?
31:27
This happened in nineteen thirty was when doctor Alexander fleming
31:31
A nineteen twenty eight discovered penicillin when he accidentally left
31:37
a stack of staff cultures next to an open window
31:41
while on vacation. He comes back from vacation, the cultures
31:44
were contaminated by an airborne mold, and before disposing of
31:48
the cultures, he noticed that the mold had prevented normal
31:51
growth by the staff, so he was able to create
31:56
the medallion is a gift for his niece and inscribed
31:59
it with the message the mold that made penicillin Alexander Fleming.
32:05
So this medallion contains a specimen of the original penicillin
32:10
mold on blotting paper, mounted with a glass disc held
32:15
in place by a black plastic rim two inch in
32:19
diameter thing. So where can I buy this? Well, it's
32:23
going to go on auction online auction and it'll start
32:26
next week. Entry bid is thirty thousand dollars. Okay, so
32:32
it might be a little outpriced for you there, a
32:34
little bit, all right, It could go anyway, thirty to
32:37
fifty thousand dollars for mold. Who right, all right, there's
32:42
our heart inconceivable For Wednesday, we'll be back to wrap
32:48
up a hour number one on sports radio AM thirteen
32:50
under the Zone. Had a few hits, a few the
32:54
keyword there, this was probably his biggest one there. I
32:57
just want to stop. And Khalil was taken by the
33:00
fact when he pulled up the music about the amount
33:03
of hair that Gino Videlli was sporting so much.
33:08
Speaker 2: I don't, folks, you can't see this picture like I had.
33:12
I've had a big afro before. I've had a lot
33:15
of hair before. But man, not like that, not like that.
33:18
It's the front, top, sides back, and it's just incredible.
33:22
It almost looks like those like Mount Rushmore wigs, like
33:26
two of those.
33:27
Speaker 1: See. You have to understand that the seventies and eighties
33:29
were big hair times, you know, I see it was
33:32
a big hair time.
33:33
Speaker 2: He's a small guy, yeah, so it's like a third
33:35
of his body.
33:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of hair. A lot of
33:38
hair also from some of the other bands that we'll
33:40
hear from coming up with the with the yacht rock thing.
33:45
Just updating you on the Astros and the Tigers as
33:50
they play game two right now, and that contest is
33:54
in the bottom of the fifth inning and no score
33:56
between Houston and Detroit. They're going to the bottom of
33:59
the right now at minute made park, all right, So
34:03
we're coming up on the top of the hour and
34:07
coming up on the top of the hour, and that's
34:10
gonna lead us in the general direction of hour number two.
34:17
And in the second hour we're going to hear from Longgrns,
34:24
hit Football, coach Steve Sarkasian. We'll do that. We'll keep
34:26
you updated on what's going on with the baseball playoffs,
34:31
because the second game of the four to be played
34:35
today is about to get underway in Baltimore, where the
34:38
Orioles host the Kansas City Royals. And Royals one nothing yesterday,
34:43
so they're up one game to none, so Baltimore, like Houston,
34:46
in a must win situation. Later this afternoon, Milwaukee will
34:50
host the New York Mets in Game two. Mets one
34:52
game one. They're at American Family Field there in Cheese Land,
35:00
so the Brewers have to win to keep that going.
35:03
And then tonight's Game two in San Diego between the
35:05
pod Rais and the Braves in San Diego up one
35:07
game the nine after shutting out Atlanta last night, four nothing.
35:10
But stay with us our number two of the program
35:12
coming up right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred
35:15
The Zone.
35:44
Speaker 5: It's the Morning Kickoff Show with Mike Hartballharsh and Mark
35:48
Henridy weekdays from seven to nine am only on Sports
35:51
Radio AY. I'm thirteen hundred the Zone.
35:54
Speaker 1: From the Audio Visual Consultation Studio.
35:56
Speaker 5: This is kd E T A m Austin AM thirteen
35:59
hundred The Zone. Listen on the free iHeartRadio WAF for
36:02
all your sports podcasts and music. He's a Texas legend,
36:12
a Hall of Fame broadcaster, the voice of the Texas Longhords,
36:17
and your host of the Craigway Show.
36:20
Speaker 3: Here he is now Craig.
36:23
Speaker 4: Way second hour of the program here on sports Radio
36:50
AM thirteen hundred.
36:51
Speaker 1: Zone and Craig wait with you. Put random one bruise
36:56
your alongside on boy and unavailable Cameron Parker, So he'll
37:10
uh sow khalil in for that this afternoon. Updating the
37:13
baseball going on right now, Astros and Tigers are scoreless
37:19
as the Astros bats with the leadoff man aboard. I
37:23
said that and he's now forced out at second. Tigers
37:27
weren't able to get the double play and in fact
37:30
the man sliding in the second once a review, he
37:32
thinks that the app wasn't recorded, even though the umpire
37:35
says it happened on the transfer as Spencer Gath was
37:40
pulling the ball out of the glove. So I don't
37:41
know if they're going to review that or not, but anyway,
37:43
it is scoreless between the Tigers and uh the Astros
37:49
in Game two. Yeah, there's no doubt it was. It
37:51
was on the transfer looking at a replay, uh there.
37:54
So one out will be recorded and the Astros will
37:56
still have a runner at first base with one out.
38:02
We'll keep you updated on the baseball the other the
38:04
other game getting ready to start Baltimore and Kansas City.
38:10
Detroit is now making a pitching change with a runner
38:14
at first in one out, so we'll see how that goes.
38:16
No score and that is in the bottom half of
38:18
the fifth inning. Tiger's winning yesterday three to one behind
38:22
Tarik Scuoball, who's proven was this year anyway the best
38:26
starting pitcher in all of baseball. League won Baseball's pitching
38:30
Triple Crown wins E, r A and strikeouts. So the
38:37
Astros backed into a corner and they have to figure
38:40
out from there. All right, let's hear from long orange
38:43
Head football coach Steve Sarkisian. Now this is going to
38:46
be from the SEC teleconference. Remember sark did his news
38:54
conference on Monday. Because this is an open date week
38:58
on the schedule. They're bye week on the schedule. There
39:01
are no more media availabilities local for Sark Like normally
39:06
on Thursdays, he does a media zoom with the there's
39:10
player availabilities, none of that stuff on this open date,
39:14
only the news conference dat on Monday. However, the SEC
39:17
has a man Data teleconference where every coach is on
39:20
it every week, regardless of whether they're playing or not.
39:24
So that applied to Text has also applied to Oklahoma. Remember,
39:27
the Sooners are going through an open date on the
39:28
schedule this week as well, leading up to the two
39:32
teams meeting in Dallas a week from the Saturday in
39:35
the All state Red River Rivalry matchup, and our coverage
39:40
will begin at eleven thirty from the Fairgrounds of the
39:45
State of Text will actually be up there on Friday
39:50
with coverage and then from the fairgrounds on Saturday morning
39:54
with Long Horns game Day coverage with an inclusive of
39:59
Cameron Parker and Mike hardboll Harge and Mark Henry from
40:03
the fairgrounds at the State of the State Fair of Texas.
40:05
So they'll get to sit out there in the open
40:07
while the Sooner fans walk by and flip them off
40:09
and stuff like that. That'll that's that's a regular behavior there,
40:14
and I should point out they are longer fans who
40:16
go by and flip off the Oklahoma game day broadcast
40:19
teams that are all on the field, and this is
40:21
part of that whole deal.
40:23
Speaker 3: You know.
40:23
Speaker 1: I can remember for years, and I do mean years,
40:27
if you asked, uh Texas people, one of the one
40:33
of the humorous things, whether it was Mack Brown or
40:35
Long warn players, they talk about riding in on that
40:37
bus and seeing these like eighty something year old grandma's
40:41
flipping them off from the fairgrounds or little kids flipping
40:45
them off for the fairgrounds. And then I would go
40:47
up and I'd cover the Oklahoma news conference and Bob
40:51
Stoops was the coach back then, and he would say, yeah,
40:53
that Texas, oklah Though. You Texas Week is something pretty special.
40:57
Get there and those fans are you know, They're behavior
41:00
is pretty special. They're they're flipping the off and telling
41:03
you who's number one and all. So they experienced it
41:05
also from their side as well. It's part of the
41:08
victory all that happens between Longhorns and Sooners. It just
41:12
works that way. That's just how that is. But anyway,
41:16
it's an open date this week for boat Texas and Oklahoma,
41:18
so Long Worns head coach Steve Sarkisian asked for some
41:22
opening thoughts and comments about his team coming out of
41:27
the win over Mississippi State and going into the bye week.
41:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always great going into a buy coming off
41:34
with victory, you know, having started the season the way
41:38
we had.
41:39
Speaker 1: It's good to be undefeated.
41:41
Speaker 6: But naturally you endure some of the bumps and bruises
41:44
and things that that all teams endure. And so I
41:47
think the buy is coming out a really good time
41:49
for us to get some guys healthy, to refresh out
41:54
of our minds and our bodies, to get ready for
41:57
another kind of three game block of the season here
42:00
coming up here in a.
42:00
Speaker 1: Couple of weeks now, because this is an open date
42:04
on the schedule and a bye week for Texas. The
42:07
time that they were going to keep Sark on the
42:10
SEC Teleconference was going to be short. It wasn't going
42:12
to be very long. So I don't know if he
42:17
was puzzled by the answered the question, fine, but remember
42:21
this is the SEC Teleconference is a national call, so
42:28
writers in broadcasters, media from across the country can dial
42:34
in and they can ask a question. So they're all
42:38
welcome to do that. They can do that as you
42:42
might imagine the preponderance of the media participating in this
42:47
thing are going to be from SEC markets and outlets,
42:53
and that includes in the Deep South, and it certainly
42:56
been include the state of Alabama. So the first question
43:00
and that Sark got was not about his football team, uh,
43:05
but it was about the team they beat last year
43:08
and the quarterback they beat last year, Jalen Milroe of Alabama, who,
43:11
of course Jalen is a native Texan, played at Katie
43:14
Tompkins and had originally committed to Texas before quinn Ewers
43:19
transferred in and then Milroe changed his commitment ended up
43:21
going to Alabama. And Milroe has really progressed and had
43:24
a big game last Saturday night in Tuscal loose against Georgia.
43:28
So Sark was asked for his thoughts going all the
43:30
way back when he was recruiting Milroe, when he was
43:33
still on the Alabama staff, and what he has seen
43:37
Jalen Milroe accomplish and progress in his time as Alabama's quarterback.
43:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had Jalen in camp at Alabama and great kid,
43:47
great parents. Obviously, go athleticism was there, the arm talent
43:51
was there.
43:54
Speaker 7: I'm give him a lot of credit.
43:55
Speaker 6: He really worked.
43:57
Speaker 7: And developed into the revasial point. You know, he just
44:00
doesn't rely on athleticism. He's a great D ball passer,
44:05
can stand hines in his arm, extend plays, use his.
44:08
Speaker 6: Legs, they use him for direct run. So you know,
44:12
you have an envisionment of wor thinking kid could be
44:15
early on in his high school career, and then to
44:16
watch it kind of come to fruition. I guess, you know,
44:19
I'm happy for him, but I also validate some of
44:22
the things that you see and that you're looking for
44:24
and the next proper guys coming up.
44:26
Speaker 1: That's a good point too, because those were the things
44:28
that they were looking for from Jalen Milroe. And remember
44:31
he had his stumbles and growing pains early on, and
44:36
he drew a lot of heat after Texas feed Alabama
44:38
in that game last year in September in Tuscalusa. But
44:42
he's come a long way since. He helped guide Alabama
44:45
to the College Football Playoff, the SEC Championship in College
44:48
Football Playoff berth and now he's the quarterback of the
44:52
number one team in the country and the AP pole
44:53
number two in the coaches Texas number two and the
44:56
AP number one in the coaches. It's that close. Right now,
44:59
we'll hear more. We are from Longhorn's head coach, Steve
45:01
Sarkisian a little later on in the program. We've got
45:04
some other topics we'll get too. We'll update the baseball
45:06
for you as well as we continue here on this
45:08
Wednesday afternoon on sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone
