  Speaker 1: is here. We have lots of topics to go through.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And Mallory is here, and we have lots of topics
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to go through. The Texas Rangers were so close to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: getting to.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: 500 and tying the Houston Astros.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And then they played Oakland for the third game of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their series. They've been almost unbeatable when they scored first,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: which they did with two home runs and led 2-0.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And then all the fun started. The Rangers pitching has
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: blown up. The A's lead 9-2. That game is in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the eighth inning. Cody Bradford wasn't good. Jordan Montgomery hasn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: been good. Nobody's been good that they've run out there.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's been ugly. Let's put it that way. They'll begin
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a four-game series with Tampa Bay tomorrow. They won last
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: night 8-5. They scored eight runs the night before. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: then this. The Astros got beat last night. That was
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the good news. They play the White Sox again this evening.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: We'll have that broadcast at 640 here on The Zone.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Hayden Wisniewski, the starter for the Houston's. They are 70-69.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: The Rangers went into this afternoon at 69-70.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And, well, you know the rest. I said this yesterday,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and Mike Trout is confirming it. The rest of the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: AOS may be in trouble. The Los Angeles Angels of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Anaheim are about to be awakened. Artie Moreno, the horrible
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: owner for the last 23 years, sold the team, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not just to anybody, to Stan Kroenke. He wins championships.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Mike Trout telling reporters... It's a fresh start. You kind
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of felt that way. It was needed. No hard feelings
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to Artie, but I'm super excited. The guys are excited.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: There's a good vibe around the clubhouse and around this stadium. Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Poor Mike Trout. He's been with a team that's been terrible.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And Artie Moreno's ownership has been terrible. The SEC has
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: filed a brief with the Louisiana court ahead of tomorrow's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: injunction hearing, including an affidavit from Commissioner Greg Sankey. The
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: brief outlines why the SEC should hold authority to enforce
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: its rules against a member school and Sankey not held accountable.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: He details the penalties afforded to him and the president's.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: He says no president has voted against the penalties released
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in memos last week, clarifies the SEC is not an
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: NCAA agent, and says permitting pro players would create unfairness
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: for high school athletes. Tennessee Chancellor Donda Plowman, president of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the executive committee, tells ESPN the league will enforce its rules.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Regarding NFL players, we're prepared to defend our rules and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on our authority to defend the rules. This is not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a rule we will budge on. Marty Smith says LSU
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: officials confirmed to ESPN that Saturday's season opening home game
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: against Clemson is the most media and celebrity credentialed game
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in the history of Tiger Stadium. So all of this
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: stuff is working. A St. Louis County judge, meanwhile, has
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: denied an NCAA motion to dismiss a temporary restraining order
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that gave Missouri defensive tackle Sterling Webb a fifth year
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of eligibility. Eli Drinkwitz, who called all of this stuff
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a clown show earlier this week, said, yeah, I just
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: got a tweet that says a TRO making Sterling Webb
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: eligible remains in place after a St. Louis County judge
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this morning denied the NCAA's motion. It looks like we're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: ready to go, said Drinkwits. I mean, I don't know
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what to tell you. Just waiting for tweets. All I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do is sit around and wait for tweets. Y'all wait
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for injury reports to tell you who's in and who's out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We wait for tweets from judges. What a system we've
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: got here. But Eli, who called it a clown show,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is more than willing to use the system. Steve Sarkeesian
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: said on the conference call today, don't be surprised at
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the end of November if Texas State is talking about
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: making the college football playoffs. I think Texas State's a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: really good team. So they've got our attention. They've got
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: our players' attention. That's where our focus is. Again, it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Texas State. Who are the highest paid coaches in college football?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Sportico says Kurt Cignetti is number one. 13.2 million. Kirby Smart,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: 13 million. And Lane Kiffin, 13 million. Ryan Day and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Kalen DeBoer, 12 and a half. Marcus Freeman and Mario Cristobal, 12.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Matt Rule, 11.79 milsky.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Mike Elko, 11.65.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, 11.55. Dabo, 11.5. Lincoln Riley and Dan Lanning
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: at Oregon, 11 million milsky. Deion Sanders, $ 10. 8 million. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Eli Drinkowitz, $ 10. 75 million. Penn State has announced it's opening
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Paterno Family Football Experience Room in its All-Sports Museum
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: inside Beaver Stadium. A permanent museum experience, the school says,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: will celebrate Penn State's football history here. and will include
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a Joe Paterno exhibit featuring his original office desk and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: workspace personal artifacts and a curated timeline documenting significant moments
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of his more than six decades there. I'm assuming that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: timeline will include Jerry Sandusky. It's a little over 14
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: years since the school removed Paterno's statue outside the stadium
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in the wake of Sandusky's sexual assault crimes. They're playing
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: tennis at the U.S. Open. American Jessica Pagula was a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: straight sets winner. Frances Tiafoe plays at 6 o'clock this evening.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Tiger Woods had his driver's license suspended for five years
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in a plea deal in his DUI case today in Florida.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: He will pay $ 1, 500 in fines, was found guilty of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: careless driving. Thomas Bacadal, the state attorney, defended the decision
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to accept the plea, saying he did what I think
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is right. Judge Darren Steele told Woods that the suspended
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: license is for the safety of the public. There are
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: no exceptions. If you want to drive for any reason,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you would immediately go back to jail. The Dallas Stars
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: officially announced today they will have a new streaming platform
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to broadcast their games, which start in another month plus.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The team has ended its two-year relationship with Victory Plus
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and reached a deal with Amazon Prime to broadcast the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in-market games to fans this upcoming season. The league announced
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it has reached a multi-year agreement with Prime as the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: exclusive local streaming home for five other teams, Carolina, Anaheim, Columbus, Minnesota,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and the St. Louis Blues. Victory Plus is close to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: going out of business. They were the Starz streaming company
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: until the Starz changed probably about four to six weeks ago,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: give or take. Okay, that will catch you up on
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: some of what is going on, we hope. Well, that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: not true. I started to say.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: We'll hope by tomorrow all of.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: The LSU versus SEC versus NCAA will be over, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that is not true. There will be other judges. There
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: will be other temporary restraining orders. There will be other
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin headlines. So I don't think it ends tomorrow.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It may give a guideline, may give to what happens
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Saturday night at Death Valley. The thing is, neither of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: these players, in my mind, are going to help LSU
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: win football games. I don't think. Could be wrong about that,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: but I don't think. Okay. Tomorrow we have got our
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. We're going to hear, let's see,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: who are we going to hear from? Mario Craver tomorrow.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Marcus Ratcliffe tomorrow. We will have a high school report tomorrow.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: And we're going.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: To take a float trip in Colorado tomorrow on the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: outdoor edition.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Plus, of course, animal attack highlights.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: That's tomorrow. Friday, I will visit with Kurt Bowles and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I will visit with Tony Catalina on Friday. All right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: I'm going to take a break. We'll come back.

  Speaker 3: Now you ought to see my blue-eyed Sabbath. It is
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: All Willie Wednesday.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: That is from the Willie and Family.
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: Live album from Lake Tahoe.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It is fantastic.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It catches him when he is just at his absolute best. Playing, singing,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the band, the songs.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, the music, everything about this album is just outstanding. Um,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: so I highly recommend that particular album. It's, it's a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: lot like the live at Budokan album from Japan. Uh,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: this is when these guys were at the absolute top
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of their game and it's, it's fun to listen to. Um,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? I'm kind of stalling. We're
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: going to talk here in a minute to Daniel Dockery.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: His book is called I Am the Knight, The Ultimate
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Unauthorized History of Batman, the animated series.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It's pretty cool.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: This animated series goes back like 33, 34 years, something
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: like that. So, I didn't grow up with this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I'm old.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I grew up with the iconic TV show with Burt
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Ward and Adam West, right? Grew up with the comic book,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: but that TV show is unlike anything. With tongue planted
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: verbally in cheek. It was phenomenal. The actors that frequented
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it was great. The pals and the ziffs and the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: bams when they got in a fight was great. It
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was cartoon violence. It took about 20 years for the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: movies to start coming out. Once the movies started coming out, whoa,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: there's Batman again. So Batman is a character that never
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: goes away. Right? I'm waiting for more Batman. I can't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get enough Batman. Now, I love me some Michael Keaton
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: as Batman. I gotta tell you that. I love me
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: some Jack Nicholson over-the-top Joker. Heath Ledger, obviously, probably the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: definitive right bad guy. One of the definitive bad guys ever. Um,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Tim Curry voiced the Joker maybe for a year or
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: two in this animation series. Pretty amazing. All right, let's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: jump out to the Polaris Fun Center phone line, visit
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: with Daniel Dockery, his book, I Am the Knight, the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Ultimate Unauthorized History of Batman, the Animated Series. Daniel, how
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: I'm doing very good, Chip.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: How are you doing?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Doing great. What led you to revisit this series 30
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: plus years after the fact?
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: You know, it's a series that I've never really left behind. But,
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: you know, it came time to kind of I wanted
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: to write a Batman book and I was trying to
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: figure out what would make for a good story. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: there was so much interesting stuff about the creation of
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: it and in the show itself that I thought, like,
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: you know, Batman the Animated Series.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Is a great show. Why isn't there a Batman the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Animated Series book like this?
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: And so eventually, you know, I thought, I'm just going
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: to write it myself.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Why and how has this character endured for so many years?
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: You know, I think more than any other superhero, Batman
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: is a creature of nature.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Of adaptation.
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: You know, if you're talking about the original Batman just
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: before World War II and just after the Depression has
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: kind of died down, he was a grim Avenger of
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: the Night. If you're a child of the 60s, you
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: remember the Adam West Bambiff Pal show. If you're a
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: child of the 80s, you remember Tim Burton and Michael
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: Keaton's Batman. If the 90s, Batman the Animated Series. Of
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: the 2000s, Christopher Nolan's. Of the 2010s, Ben Affleck's. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: of now, you get Robert Pattinson's Batman.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And all.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: comic book versions and cartoons in between. So I think
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: Batman thrives is because he's so ripe for someone saying, okay,
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: I see Batman this way.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: And as long as you knock off a few, like
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: check off a few boxes, you can interpret Batman in
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: a thousand different ways.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You talk about the darkness of the overall character in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: your mind, which obviously wasn't that with the TV show.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And the setting, especially of Gotham, that the movies went
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: back to, right? Gotham was almost dystopian, was it not?
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: Gotham, I think it was, you know, Gotham has always
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: been like, what if, you know, the New York City
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: planner designed hell?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 10: It's a it's got a it's a very it's got
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: to be a yeah, it's it is outright dystopian. It's
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: this metropolitan area that has gone sour.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Tell our listeners about Bruce Tim, if you would.
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: So Bruce Timm, by the time of Batman the Animated Series,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: he's working on Tiny Toon Adventures, which aren't as good
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: as the Looney Tunes cartoons he watched growing up, but
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: they pay the bills. And after spending the 80s just
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: kind of getting thrown around the industry and every once
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: in a while getting to do projects that he enjoys
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: before being thrown back into the mix, you know, he's
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: having a rough time. He's a little bit disillusioned. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden, Warner Brothers announces in the wake
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: of the massive hit that was the 1989 movie, they
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: want to do a Batman cartoon. And all of a sudden,
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: I think it's like he described it as like a
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: lightning strike. And he just pushed all his work off
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: his desk and began drawing Batman. And Bruce Timm's art style,
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: for anyone that's seen it, is so relatively simple, but
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: so iconic at the same time. And you can kind
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: of guess what character it is by like the silhouette
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: of it.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: That there's a, there's an immediacy to it and it
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: becomes really good for animation.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: You write, I believe that Bruce Timm started drawing Batman
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: at a very early age, didn't he? Yes.
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: I think he, I think he said it's the first
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: character he can remember drawing.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Where does Steven Spielberg fit in this story?
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: So Steven Spielberg, you know, in the late eighties and
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: early nineties, Steven Spielberg is kind of at the, at,
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: one of the heights of his power. You know, Amblin
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: is producing his movies, but it's also producing other movies.
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: He's creating blockbusters like the Indiana Jones films. He's about
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: to dive into Jurassic Park in a few years. You know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: he's both a successful director and a successful producer. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: he loves cartoons. Steven Spielberg adores cartoons. When his other
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: work is gone, kind of like is not going well,
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: he has always enjoyed producing cartoons. And so he comes
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: into Warner Brothers, having produced a few cartoons already, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: he basically says he gives them the clout to add
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: resources that they normally wouldn't have had. He was like,
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: why don't we have orchestras? Cartoons used to have orchestras.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: Why don't we have orchestras anymore? and Spielberg asked for
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: an orchestra, you get that man an orchestra. Um, so they,
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: you know, and that's just one example. In fact, it
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: was really about quality of cartoons. He wanted them to
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: look good. Um, he wanted to kind of give the
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: industry a sense of competition that it hadn't had for
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: a little while and make it really thrive. And so his,
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: his contribution was really invaluable. And it comes from the
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: fact that he really likes animation as a form.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I was interested in the Tim Curry story. Obviously we
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: just lost him a week or so ago, but tell,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: tell that how he was involved in this project.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: So Tim Curry at this time, you know, he's been
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: in Clue, he's been in Legend. He is kind of the, the,
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: one of the best like cult movie actors of all time.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: And he does so much voice work because in voice work,
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: they let him play American characters and they let him
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: play any other kind of character that he wants to.
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: So he really likes that. And so he comes in
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: to do the Joker and he does a few episodes.
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: He's kind of missing this kind of manic energy that
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: they want. They let him go.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: Within the next year, he has like 12 new voice
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: roles lined up. But when he shows up, everyone is
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: just starstruck because Tim Curry, and he's not just a,
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: he's not just, he's not necessarily a superstar actor, but
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: he's like, he's interesting. He's an interesting presence. He's a
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: cool guy. You want to be around him. Um, so yeah, they,
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: you know, he later voiced some characters for that and
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: later superhero cartoons. Um, but you know, everyone remembers Tim Curry.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: It's like, oh my.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Gosh, you know, Dr.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: Frank-a-ver is here.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But that, but bottom line, as you mentioned it in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the long run, it didn't work out.
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: No, it didn't work out. And Mark Hamill actually came in.
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: He wanted to be a writer on the show. He
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: ended up voice acting on the show for one of
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: the characters. He was like, I'd really like to play
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: a different character. And then he auditioned for the Joker
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: and they were like, oh my gosh, this is Luke Skywalker.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: This is, he's fantastic.
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: And so I think it's Mark Hamill's greatest performance. He's
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: so wild and mean and funny. And like, just, he
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: has this such range.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And, and, As it turned out, he really liked doing characters,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: did he not? I mean, he was trying to overcome
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: basically Star Wars. People go, no, we can't use him.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: But behind the mic, he was great.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he was really trying to break through it. He'd
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: been in the stage play for, I think it was Amadeus,
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: and then he wanted to be in the movie, and
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: they were like, we're not going to let Luke Skywalker
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: in this. Um, and so, but behind the mic and,
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: you know, later on now in his career, he can play,
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: you know, he plays a decent array of types, but
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: like behind the mic, he just shines. He's so good.
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: And he has so much, like, he has so much
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: depth to his voice that, uh, you know, it's hard
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: to think of a better actor for the Joker.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: How would you describe the state of animation today? Oh,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it's a rough one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: Um, I have a lot of friends that work in
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: animation right now. And animation seems to be often like
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: the last concern for a lot of executives who get to,
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: you know, pull the strings and make those decisions. And
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: that's a shame because there's so many people working in
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: animation that are deeply talented and deeply driven right now.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: And a lot of them were inspired by Batman animated series.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I grew up with the coyote and the road runner,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: but I haven't, I haven't seen the movie yet. Do
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you think that, that, any success in this movie, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it almost wasn't released, would perhaps help kickstart another level
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: of animation?
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: I really hope it does. One thing I've seen on
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: social media is that this has prompted a lot of
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: people to share old Looney Tunes clips.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: Especially Coyote and Roadrunner. And it's so good.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It's such a good.
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: Example of physical comedy and slapstick and just this hapless
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: poor guy who wants to catch this bird forever. so
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: bad um it's you know and people are sharing them
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: and like kids of you know you see like kids
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: teenagers sharing how funny they think these looney tunes clips
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: they just discovered are and it's so good that this
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: can have such lasting power and if it does nothing
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: else like even if it doesn't start a new animation
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: renaissance at the very least it's brought members of a
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: new generation to look at these classic cartoons and think
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: wow this is really good stories they're really good Funny
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: pieces of work.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: The book is called I Am the Night, The Ultimate
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Unauthorized History of Batman, the Animated Series. Daniel Dockery is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the author. Daniel, thanks for your time. Appreciate it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: Thank you for having me, Chip. I appreciate it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. And that was a pretty cool read right there.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: And if you've seen Acme vs. Coyote, let me know.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I can't get anybody in my family to go with me.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: My grandkids won't go with me. My wife won't go
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: with me. I really want to see Acme versus Coyote
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: because it looks funny. And it's gotten decent reviews. How
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: can it, you know, I know that it can be
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: screwed up. I know it can be screwed up. But, man,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you've got the Roadrunner and you've got the Coyote. If
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you screw that up, that's on you. Like I said,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they almost didn't release this movie. They were just going
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to trash can it. And I don't know if it
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: didn't test well. I don't know if they didn't think
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: that anybody was, you know. But the thing is, it
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: was weird. They've already spent most of the money. Now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they haven't spent any money, you know, advertising, obviously. But
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: they'd already spent the money. That's what I didn't understand.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't understand all the legal stuff and all that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But the one thing that has happened, as Daniel mentioned,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: is that you can't get on social media now without
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: seeing old clips of Coyote and the Roadrunner.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: And I just laugh every time. They are just outstanding.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: As he mentioned, as a result, not only are we
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: seeing Coyote Roadrunner clips, we're seeing Daffy Duck and Bugs
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Bunny and Elber Fudd and Foghorn Laghorn and all of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the great Looney Tunes characters that were so funny and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: so creative. And I know a lot of you grew
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: up with that.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: And we've talked about this before.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Our Saturday morning animated TV shows were so good. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: then they just became garbage. Like overnight, it became garbage.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And then it wasn't animated, but it was almost filmed.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Like it was an animated show. Peewee's playhouse came along
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and there was nothing more inventive than that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: That was just top notch.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Um, So I do hope that this may bring back
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: good animation. Like, I don't need even so many children's
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: films now have to have political messages. It just ruins everything. Disney,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the most woke corporation in the world, ruins everything. Walt
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Disney's turning over in his grave. But if we could
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: find people who would make cartoons like this again and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: not have to put their own personal politics in there, man,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I would love that. Is that the game?
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Good gosh.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: One of the worst games of the year. And that's
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: saying something with this Rangers team, by the way. When
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you say they have played one of the worst games
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of the year, this is one of the worst games
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of the year. This is a team, the Rangers, that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: were darn near unbeatable when scoring first in the game.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They got a home run in the first inning. They
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: got a home run in the second inning. They're at
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: home against the worst team in baseball. They have a
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: 2-0 lead. They've scored 16 runs the last two games.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Okay?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: They're up 2-0. Then Oakland, in consecutive innings, in the third, fourth,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and fifth innings, scores eight runs. The final, 9-2. They
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: cannot get to. 500.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: They're now back to two games under.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: 500.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And you just hope the Astros get their rear ends
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: beat tonight after losing last night to the White Sox.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: It's just so frustrating.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Galleria has been part of our community since 1993. Talk
• 31:21

• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So the people who vote are those who get season credentials,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and they are allowed one vote. Okay? So they can't
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: vote for all three.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: So this sounds like the hall of you've got to be.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Good to get on here.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: You've got to be good to get in here, right? But,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, these three guys vote.
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: They will all be in it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: They'll all eventually be there.
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: Yes, in the next two years.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: My vote would go to Ralph for just— Longevity, right?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: And everything.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: And fine reporting.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And reporting. And a guy who, let's be honest, he
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: worked for a primarily African-American radio station. And this was 1980, right? 79, 80, 81, 82.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: First of all, back then, there weren't that many, okay?
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: There just weren't.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: And there weren't many.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Media people of color in the city of Houston did.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Ralph was a pioneer, and so he belongs there.
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: K-C-O-H.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: I knew the other didn't sound right.
• 38:19

  Speaker 1: bit with Matt.

  Speaker 17: The Houston Astros started strong defensively but needed more bats
• 42:54
  Speaker 17: last night as the White Sox took Game 2 of
• 42:56
  Speaker 17: the series by a final score of 5-1. Astros rookie
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: starter Ronnell Blanco opened up the game with four scoreless innings.
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: He finished with only three hits allowed. Chicago found their
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: offense in the fifth with back-to-back RBI swings from Andrew
• 43:08
  Speaker 17: Benatendi and Colson Montgomery. Randall Gurchuk would extend the Chicago
• 43:12
  Speaker 17: lead to four runs in the seventh with a two
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: RBI double. Isaac Paredes would finally get Houston on the
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: board in the bottom of the eighth with this long ball.
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: Paredes hits it a mile high, pretty deep to left.
• 43:22
  Speaker 16: Antonacci is back on the warning track in front of

  Speaker 1: funny how time slips away as a trilogy in every
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: concert he did.
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: And I miss that.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I miss it, too. I've got to say.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: This is a, this, for the snapshot being 1978.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: So it does include Angels Flying Too.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: Close to the Ground.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: It does, yeah.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Okay. Up until that point in time.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: This is the quintessential live.
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: There's no doubt about that. No question about that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: Now, Johnny Paycheck's in it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: He is. You can also go after that to live
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: at Budokan, which is in Japan. And Grady Martin traveled
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: with that group then. And Mickey Raphael is the one
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: that found it, put it all together, produced it and
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: put it out about.
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: Five, six, seven years ago.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: And I will say it's very close to this album
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: in terms of the band just being, you know, Bobby
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: obviously is there just being on top of their game.
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: And Mickey says that too. He goes, this was, you
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: want to.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Hear, you know, Willie and family band on top of
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: their game. Live at Budokan will do that for you.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: And this one does too. All right, let's start with this.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: And I still haven't gotten over this, and I don't
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: have an answer to this, and I wish the people
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: in Dallas would ask this question.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Scott?
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: Did you watch TCU North Carolina?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Any of it?
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. It's as embarrassing for TCU this year as
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it was for North Carolina last year, in my opinion. Okay.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: I felt like Sonny Dykes after the game was a
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: little prickly.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a little prickly.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: Well, some of those letters being used.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the kid who was kicked unconscious until he
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: had a brain bleed, a shoulder injury, and a concussion, Azuconma,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: My question has been for the last two days since
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: this morning news story came out on Sunday. I talked
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: to Louie about it this morning. Were they the only
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: two in the locker room when this happened?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: No.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Where was the team?
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: Watching the fight.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Who stands around and watches a player get kicked unconscious?
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Your teammate. Who does that? Who does that?
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Well, the code red was ordered, Chip.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Did you order the code red? I mean, seriously.
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: Actually, there could have been not a full locker room.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I hope there wasn't anybody there.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: Right, but there could be them the only ones to
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: a few. And, Chip, I've never been in TCU's locker.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: It might be that they've got a blind spot.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: That's a good– you know, I hadn't thought about that
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: because these locker rooms are a lot larger than they
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: used to be. Right.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: A lot larger. I really would like to hear the
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: answer to that question.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: Were there other players watching this happen?
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think the Star-Telegram is getting an answer for that.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Dallas Morning News is now on it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: They've decided they're going to cover TCU. for a little while.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: Positive stories.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: They won't be getting a credential to go to the game.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: But they're going to cover this story. And they have
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: broken two stories since Sunday when Fields turned himself in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: and was released on $ 50, 000, what the exact charges were.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: And then this story that came out, which was what
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. Maybe the police just released the report.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: The arrest report, yes, yes.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: That could be it. And that's what appeared in their
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: second follow-up story was the kid coming up to him
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: with a closed fist, punching him in the head, knocking
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: him either out of his chair or off his stool
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: in the locker room, and then kicking him until he
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was unconscious.
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: And the trainer, after the police were finally called, and
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long that took. I don't know
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: how long it took EMTs to be called, okay? I'm
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: not certain about that. But in the police report, the
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: trainer told them, this is a life or death situation.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: You need to get this kid to the hospital. And
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: he was right, by the way. He was in the
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: hospital three days. Yeah. Right? So if you find out
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: that there were players in the locker room that saw
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: this happen, that is the second most problematic thing of
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: this story as far as I'm concerned. I don't know
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: how you feel about that, but I can't imagine. When
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Clint Longley sucker punched Roger Staubach and went in for more,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: He didn't have a chance. Right.
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: There was no chance to do that.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Look, fights happen on the practice field all the time.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Some fights happen in the locker room. That's not unusual.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: And you don't hear about it. That's not unusual. This
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: is a whole new level of assault with intent to
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: do bodily harm.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: But we're also in a whole new world as far.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: As— Guys with their phones instead of stopping the fight?
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: How do you know that isn't happening? We don't know
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: that here.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: What upset me as much as anything about this was
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: the report on WFAA two days ago.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: That the reason why Fields beat him.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Was because he was being beaten at practice?
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: He was losing his spot in practice.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: This guy was outperforming him.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what he said. Yes, exactly.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: And I just, you know, the best players play. That
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: is what sports is about. It's not about you pulling
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: a Tonya Harding.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're living in a world, Scott, and you
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: know this. We're living in a world that guys will
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: walk down the street and knock out a random person
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: so it will be on video because they'll have a friend.
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: Videoing that, right?
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Yes. They will just go and blindside a person and
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: knock them out and post that because they think it's funny.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: Now, I am not giving this kid a pass.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: There is nothing.
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: No, but I'm just saying it's even worse to me, okay,
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: that in the world of competition, in the world of athletics,
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: why did Clint Longley– Punch out Roger Stolbeck because he
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: couldn't beat him out.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: Why did Nancy, why was Nancy Kerrigan's leg broken by
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: Tanya Hardy?
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: Because she couldn't beat her, beat them out.
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: Okay. If you can't beat somebody out, you work harder.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: You don't assault them or these kind of things to try. Okay. Well,
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: you know what? If he's gone, then I've got my
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: job back. I get the boosters. So give me my NIL.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That, That's just crazy. That's crazy.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: But for TCU to act like, once again, this is
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: not a story.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Not a story, not a big deal. Just boys being
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: boys in the locker room.
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: It wasn't not a big deal when.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: This last week the football player died because of– or
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: three weeks ago when the football player died because of
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: the workout.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: High school kid.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 54:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: Or when Maryland, when the player was– who was having problems.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: During workouts.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: During workouts, having problems, and the strength and conditioning guy
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: was like, well, we have to get tough around here.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: The head coach has told me we need to get tough,
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: so you have to tough it out.
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: Okay?
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. That coach ended up here for a while. Durkin. Yeah. Yes.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: But the coach didn't say, PT the guys until they died.
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: He says, you need to have a tough attitude.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: I understand.
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: And the person who was in charge of that took
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: it to the wrong thing. He's lucky he's alive because
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: the trainer, whoever notified the trainer that he was down,
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Even if they were only watching it, whoever went and
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: told the trainer and saved his life, that's important.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: I want to go back to TCU just a minute.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Aside from what looks like a bad football team, and
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: maybe not, I expect a lot, everybody expects more out
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: of this quarterback who wasn't very good on Saturday. Is
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: their season done?
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking.
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: Nobody who has played in these overs.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Is the coach done?
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: He just signed a contract extension up there.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say he's done because Patterson signed
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: a contract extension and then still hung on a couple years.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: But season-wise, nobody that has gone over on these foreign
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: trips and got humiliated has come back and had a
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: good season yet. None of them.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: North Carolina last year. Last year, the year before, neither. Well,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: that was Kansas State and Iowa State last year, and
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: they were both terrible.
• 55:49
  Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: And you said, man, that's ugly. And it turned out
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: they were both not very good. And I still say
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: that's probably the situation with these two teams.
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: They're both not very good.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: Okay.
