  Speaker 1: day with us. US includes the producer Jay Carman. It's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: kind of a quiet evening sporting wise. Last night. I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: know you're not down with watching Summer League in the NBA.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You've made that abundantly clear on this program. There was
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the run up to the start of the Open Championship,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: which we'll get into coming up of the next segment,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a little more detailed breakdown and the leaderboard update. There
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: are golfers still on the course, although play began like
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: around three o'clock this morning, Texas time, but they are,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they're underway and they're playing at Royal Birkdale, so we'll
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: have an update on all that So what did you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: do with your evening last night since there wasn't much
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in the way of the sporting life going on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Oh nothing, just you know, mellow evening at home, cooked
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: some food for myself, got in front of the TV,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: watched a little thirty Rock. I mean, I never hadn't
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: seen that before. Alison's gotten me into it. Talked to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: some friends on the phone, did some chores, straightened up?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: It was quiet.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Didn't you play swamped out any of the end of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the apartment issue or something? No, it was a noise
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: issue with your shower some, wasn't it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Well, the water issues at my building have been on
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and off, so now my water has been back for
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, but the shower makes.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Us screeching noise.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I probably should have reported it earlier, that's what a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: good tenant does. But my neighbor reported it. They're like, yeah,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we gotta we got to get to the bottom of this.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Caled on you to apartment management.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Well, they had no way of knowing it was probably me,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but there's a weird noise in my walls. That's how
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we're keeping ourselves entertained in this sporting oasis here. Sporing desert,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I should say, yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Right, right, So did they get it fixed? I know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you had building maintenance people there yesterday.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: They don't know what's causing it, and I hope it's.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Not not like some of the stuff that happens with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: our board here in the studio here at the iHeart compound.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Occasionally we run into things and things are weird or
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it sounds weird or clipped or cut or something or
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this or that, and we don't know what it is.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And so you, like the good employee that you are,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: unlike the good tenant, which apparently you aren't, but at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: least a good employee that you are, you contact our
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, our tech support. And that's a phrase, by
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the way, that's a term that's really taken off as
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the twenty first century has advanced tech support. And you've
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: gotten a hold of tech support and they respond, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: then when they respond sometimes responsible. We don't know, We
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was. So hopefully any further issues
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we have will be okay. But everything's working all right today, right, Yeah?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: If I have any issues today, knock on wood, that's good. Okay.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So as of this day or as of this time
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at whatever two or four pm Central daylight time on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Thursday July sixteenth. You still have a squeaky shower.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, and call it a little bit of a
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: screechy shower.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It reminds me of my friend in college who had
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a bit of a bit of a shreaky toilet. Go
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in there and say, yeah, I'm going to going to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: take a screamer wow.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So is it really uncomfortable when you take a shower
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: there with the noise? I mean, because you're right there
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in the center of it, as opposed to somebody one
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: floor down beneath you, or here's it coming through the wall.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: It's it's really not that big a deal to me
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that the pressure is a little stronger than it was
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: before the fix. So I have a feeling that's going
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: to be the fix.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Is it like the pressure like Kramer has, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: with whether they call it the something four thousand where
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that they used to wash elephants in the circus with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: around gosh and the pressure knocks him down to the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: knocks him down to the tub or something like that.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Is it Is it that kind of strong? No?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Not, it's not to that extreme, but it's definitely stronger
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: than usual. I'll know in a few days when my
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: water bill maybe looks like a golf course or an
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: AI data center.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But hopefully that's not the case.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But to the best of your knowledgers still working
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's working.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They don't know what's causing it, and I think they're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: trying to figure it out without ripping through things. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I really hope it doesn't come to that because that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: would be a big inconvenience.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for you and for a lot of other people. Yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: why people still have to hear it in the other apartments, Right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: It's not that loud.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'm describing it like it's some some horror movies.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So I've seen from Psycho or something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could have a conversation over it right now
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: if we had to.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's not it's not deafening.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Apparently loud enough to have a fellow tenant's logic complain
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: against you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Apparently Apparently it's not personal, is what it fixed.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: They don't want they don't want the screeching going.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They don't want to know exactly exactly what I'm turning
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the water on.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Right exactly, all right? The things on the program this
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: afternoon that will uh, that we will undertake to discuss one. Obviously,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Open Championship. They are kind of headed down the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: home stretch of the first take. You know, the Open
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is always one of those words difficult to figure unless
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they just lay it all out in front of you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: exactly all the times and who's playing, win and all
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff about when they're going to get done.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Because it's six hours later there than it is here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: There is Royal Birkdale, which is just to the north
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of Liverpool in the west I believe of Manchester near
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the Irish coast, the Irish Sea, the coast with the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Irish Sea, and so it's six hours after this. So
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that's why I said. They started I think around three
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: o'clock this morning Texas time, maybe even prior to that,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and they've been going all day. Scotti. Scheffler's already done
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with his round. We'll tell you about that coming up.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Most other ones, including the tournament's leader in the clubhouse
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: right now, already in the clubhouse. They're done. But there
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: are still golfers on the course, and there are still
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: golfers with a chance to get close to, if not
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: get to the top of the leaderboard. So it's now
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what is it eight eight pm? Greenwich mean time there
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in uh in England, so it's after eight o'clock in
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the evening. Of course, you know in that northern hemisphere
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the sun is out a great deal longer.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I know that from experience.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, what in North Dakota you had that right, We.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Had nine to thirty pm sunsets around this time of year.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: What I loved out there, Wow, it really was something.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. When Linda and I were driving UH east, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: know we got into uh western North Carolina, which was
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: at the western edge or eastern Tennessee excuse me, which
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was at the western the far eastern edge of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of the central time zone. Yeah, and then when you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: crossed between Nashville and Knoxville, you crossed in the eastern
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: time In fact, my broadcast partner on Long Rornd basketball,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Eddie Orn, grew up in Harriman, Tennessee, which is like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: seven miles from the time zone line. He grew up
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like seven miles, so he said, they used to try
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to play that to their advantage, you know, if they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: were when they were teenagers and then when they're out
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: at home. I thought it was I thought it was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: only eight o'clock. Now that was in the Eastern times
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and it was an after nine and you know that
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. But when we drove back there and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you got into the far western edge of the Eastern
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: time zone between Knoxville and Nashville, that sun it was
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: still daylight. At nine thirty it was it was still daylight.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It eventually it was the sun hit set. It wasn't
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like what you said where you actually had nine to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: thirty PM sunsets. And it's kind of like that in England.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'm always reminded of that when when the British Open
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: comes around, when the Open Championship is played, UH University
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of Texas graduate and there there are several who are playing,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: including Scottie Scheffler, Pierson Coodie, by the way, had a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: very good day and again, well we'll run down a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: leaderboard coming up. But when Justin Leonard, who played at
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Texas uh uh played there in the early nineties, I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: guess it was uh. He then when he hit the tour,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, had that fast start news tour and he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: won the Open Championship at Royal Troon I believe it
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety seven, and he always tells the story
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: about when he was done with his round, and when
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he was done with a pomp and the circumstance and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the uh and the ceremony and the claret jug and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: getting the medal for being the champion golfer of the year,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: as they say over there, and all of that kind
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and this press conference and all that thing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: All when those things happened. After that, he was back
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the clubhouse and showered and changed clothes and all
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: this sort of stuff, and he was meeting up with
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: his teacher, Randy Smith, who of course was the teacher
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of Scotti Schffler and other Longhorns as well, and the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: two of them, he said, always maybe the best moment
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of the entire weekend, you know, right alongside knocking in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the winning putt and all of that sort of stuff
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and raising the claret jug, the best time of the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: weekend for him was to walk out right as sunset
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: happened around between the nine thirty ten o'clock at night,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: everybody was gone, and he and Randy Smith and the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: claret jug went out just beyond where the eighteenth Green was,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the pets and a couple of beers and sat down
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and let it all so get that was a really
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: cool image to think about. There. You know, he's sitting
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: out there, he's having a pizza, he's having as he's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: having a pint, and there's the clart jug with him
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: as well, because he's won the Open Championship, and of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: course Scotti Scheffler, you know, being a defending champion, he's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he's had that great experience of that. So he's in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the he's in the fight, but he is not leading.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But we'll tell you who is, and we'll tell you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: about the golfers who are still on the course as
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they get toward the end of their rounds. We'll do that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: As always, we invite your input and happily welcome that,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: your questions, your thoughts, your comments. And it didn't obviously
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just have to be about the Open Championship. We've got
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: other things we're going to get to and we'll talk
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: some college footballers, some major League baseball. There's a couple
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of crazy stories to get to, which of course reminds
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: me to you that will have inconceivable coming up later
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: on this hour. So we got a lot of things
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to get to. But if you would like to contribute,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if you if you have a question, a thought, comment,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: any kind of a topic that's on your mind and
• 12:15

  Speaker 1: get a search bar like you do on a lot
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of apps, and in your little search window or magnifying

  Speaker 1: you have thirty seconds to leave us a message, a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: question or comment, whatever that might be. So this a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: couple of ways to reach us during the course of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the day. All right, coming up, we'll run you down
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the Open Championship leader board, tell you what's going on.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: We'll get to a lot of other things as well.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Here on a Thursday afternoon on sports Radio AM thirteen
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: under the Zone, and where you can always listen to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: us for free on the iHeart Radio app here on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Thursday on sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. Any
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: particular reason for Norwegian Wood.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the proximity to Liverpool of the Open this
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: weekend got me thinking about the Beatles, and I don't know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: maybe Earling Holland's still on the mind in that World Cup.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and Norway its deepest run ever. We sse
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you know what the song is about, don't you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: It's about the No well you tell me because I
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: thought I knew.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: But it's about a nightstand and it's kind of rooted
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in truth. John Lennon was being interviewed by a reporter
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and she was I can't remember what publication, and he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: wound up staying the night with her and she had
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all this Norwegian Wood furniture and he.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Talked until too then she said it's.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: He ended up sleeping in the bathroom. He said, isn't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: they in the in the tub or whatever?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: But so I looked around I noticed there wasn't Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: just a lot of all.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: This mod Norwegian wood furniture. So he sat on a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: rug biting his time, drinking or wine, you know that
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. So anyway, that's what that's all about. Okay,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So maybe we are on the subject of Europe and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the Open Championship is going on at Royal Birkdale. They
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: are on the home stretch of the first round. There
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: are several big names still on the golf course, including
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Rory McElroy, who just hit a shot out of a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: bunker on his knees to get it within relative makeable
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: par range. For him. He has had an up and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: down round. I think he's plus two playing number seventeen,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I believe right now, something like that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: But do they call it getting up and down when
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: you take the bunker shot from your knees.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: That's true, it's down up down. Maybe perhaps I don't know.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: The leader in the Championship in the first round is
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Jackson super He's an American. He's an old miss product,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: isn't he. Yes, So he shot a five under round
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of sixty five. It's a par seventy and that included
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: getting an eagle at the par five seventeenth. He got
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: an eagle three off of.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: That seventh player all time to start an Open championship
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: at Royal Birkdale with a sixty five or lower. It's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the second best opening round there sixty four for Craig
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Stadler Lawaalris round one in nineteen eighty three. Maybe that's
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: our next Beatles bump back. And of course Stadler won
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the Masters in eighty two. For there that would wind
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: up being his only I believe his only major championship
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: was at Masters in eighty two, but he was an
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: outstanding golfer for many years on the tour. But at
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: five under par sixty five, that's the lead right now,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and it looks like that's going to stand up as
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: they get down the home stretch. There are golfers on
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the course who are under par, but I'm not certain
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that they're going to have a shot to get to
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: minus five before the day is done. So in all probability,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Jackson supers five under round of sixty five is going
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to stand up, is enough to take the lead after
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the first round he made two birdies on the front
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: side and he had two bogies on the front side
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: as well, and then on the backside he birdied twelve,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: bogie thirteen, birdied fourteen, birdied sixteen, eagles seventeen and part eighteen.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: So he did a good job. By the way, Roy
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: McRoy was able to tap in for parr after hitting
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a shot on his knees to get out of the bunker.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: No, that was a bogey, Craig, Oh, did he missed. Yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: he missed about about a nine footer.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I turned just in time to see him walking up
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and you know what, He's missed several putts like that today.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: That's why it's been a struggle for him. So now
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he's at plus three, you know, obviously not out of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the championship yet, but that puts him eight shots out
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of the lead at the moment. So Jackson super is
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the leader at minus five at four under par sunga
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: m from South Korea who shot a four in around
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of sixty six and Daniel Brown. You know, yesterday when
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: we had Cameron Parker here, we were musing over the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: last time an Englishman won the Open Championship, and then
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: did we settle on, Sir Nick Faldo, Sir Nick Faldough,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I believe in ninety two, ninety two or ninety three,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It goes back, Yeah, it's it's back. Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I think he may be right. It might be ninety two.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it was ninety two is the last time?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Wow? So but here is an Englishman and Daniel Brown
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: who shot a four in a round of sixty six
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: as well at minus three at three hundred sixty seven.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Thomas Detree from Germany. Robert McIntyre was a guy we
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: didn't talk about, and he's been in the running in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: some major championships. He's not from England, he's from Scotland,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: but he's from Great Britain, so he's minus three. Francesco
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Molinari of Italy's at three hunder par as is Alex Smalley, American,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Ryan Gerard an American MJ And it's pronounced duffy, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's spelled daff ue and it's pronounced duffy. He's from
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: South Africa, but he played his college golf at Lamar,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: at Lamar University. That's where he played. Put a smile
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: on my wife Linda's face. That's where she got her masters.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Was there in in in at Lamar University. So anyway,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: m J. Duffy minus three. Then you have Cameron Young,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: you have Pearson Coody, the Texas Longhorn.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: You know, we.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Talked about Justin Leonard winning a major obviously Scottie Scheffler
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Jordan speak. But here's Pierson Coody Young, touring pro former Longhorn,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and he shot minus three as well, and one other
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: guy shot three under bryceon de Shambo. De Shambo shot
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: minus three. Now, yesterday on the program, we were talking
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: about the fact that Deshambo was in a weird spot
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in that if he failed to make the cut, he
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: would be the first golfer in at least it's thought
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to be the first man in pro golf history to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have multiple majors and missed the cut in all four
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: majors of a single year. He has already missed the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: cut in the Masters, the US Open, in the PGA,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: He's already missed the cut on all three. But he
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: shot three hundred sixty seven. Now we're gonna hear from
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: from him, but we're gonna we're gonna hear first of all,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Sir Nick Fallow. We were just talking about him the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: last Englishman to win in ninety two, and of course Fallow,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: who had won back to back majors with the US Open,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: had done that as well. You know, highly decorated golfer.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Sir Nick Faldo that is and for years a golf
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: commentator on CBS. He's retired from that, but he's still
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: working what's it called the Sky Sports?
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe he's What's sports?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. So Foudl was asked about the Shambo who who
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: apparently attacked the golf course in this championship with having
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it without having a real big strategic plan, and so
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Sir Nick was asked about this and was commenting on
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Bryce and to Shambo going into Royal Burkedale without a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: real pronounced plan of attack.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: That's a whole part of the story. How they're superstars
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: that live, then come over and can't do it, so
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that's that's all another story and then go back to
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: be superstars. He has I'd say it to his face,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: it has zero clue as strategy. I mean, you've done
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: he said it last year and I think on TV
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go out and attack the links. Well
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I've never attacked a links. You thread it, don't you?
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: You feed it down the ferry. It's really important. You
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: look at humps and bumps and what everything. If I
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: send it over and feed nudge's back into play, you
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: don't think we just boom it down there can't see
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: where I'm going.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It's twenty yards wide. Oh yeah, good luck.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I mean on all this, even if you're fantastic, it
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: lands on a corner of a divot, you still miss
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: the fairly. So you've got to think, how do I get.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It on the shore glass? It is so important?
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And here stand up and just keep bomming away and
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: they think, oh, they go, you get it further down.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: But you can be completely blocked out on a link.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Father a little bit flummock stuff.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Never attacked a link.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, we'll hear from Bryson to Shambo later
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: about this and about the quote unquote lack of strategy
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: as it were. But again Jackson supers minus five, TUNJM
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: four under Daniel Brown, four under Thomas Detrie, Robert McIntyre,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Francesca Molinari, Alex Smalley, Bryce and Shambo, Ryan and Gerard M. J.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Duffy Pearson Coody and Cameron Young all at three under.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: They all shot sixty seven.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Young's looking at a long par putt right now on eighteen,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: trying to stay at three hunder eighteen. It's been a
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: really tough hole. Like you and Cameron talked about five
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: hundred yard par four. Oh and he sank it from
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: about twenty feet away. So to Cameron Young does stay
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: at three under.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, So big big putt for par. There for Cam
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Young to remain at minus three for the championship and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: only two shots off the lead of minus five from
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Jackson super Sonic Pott to finish it at minus three, okay,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and then at two under. You have these golfers, Hendrik
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Stenson of Sweden, Jordan Smith, an Englishman, Victor Perez of Franz,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Jokim Lagergren of Sweden, Rio Hissatune from Japan, Sewu Kim
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: from South Korea, Nick Taylor from Canada, sept Straka also
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Bud Cowley in American Colin Morikawa had it to minus four,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: gave back two shots on the back round back to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: minus two, So too did Scotty Scheffler. Scheffler had it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to minus four, gave back a couple of shots and
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: wound up at minus two. So he's three off the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: lead right now, is Scheffler. So Scotty was asked about
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: his round today and was asked and Scheffler had been
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: kind of, you know, nah, kind of ho hum about
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: about the way his game was going and things like
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that of late. But he was asked about his round
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of golf and actually what he felt good about, and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you know, overall, you know what, we're not only what
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: worked well, but also what did not work. Later in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the round, I.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Felt like I played, you know, a lot better than
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: my squore day. I still get a ton out of it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: I felt like, you know, I didn't hit many shots offline.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: You know, I hit a decent wedge on the seventh
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: and ended up making bogie win kind of switched on me.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: And then like I may missed my first fairway at
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: the tenth, end up in a pop bunker, and then
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: hit another one off line there on seventeen and ended
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: up in a really tough spot. So every time I
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: had off line and I felt like I was chipping out,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: and I didn't hold as many putts as I would
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: have hoped to, And you know, I didn't take advantage
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: of the part fives later in the day. So I mean, overall,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: I felt like I did a lot of good stuff.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Just a matter of continue to do that over the
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: course of the week.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And I think I'll be in a good spot.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll hear more from Scotty coming up
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit later on. Also some other interesting side
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: notes on the Open Championship. We'll do that as well
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. But up next, we bring you
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Inconceivable here on a Thursday afternoon on sports Radio AM
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: thirteen and the Zone of the iHeartRadio app second hour
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of the programs here on Sports Radio A. I'm thirteen
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: under the Zone here on a Thursday afternoon, Craig Way
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: alongside I'm producer Jay Carmon. Glad to have you with us.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: We have kept you updated on the leaderboard of the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: first round of the Open champions I'm going to get
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to that in a moment. And it's not completely finished,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: but it's all but finished. And anybody who has a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: shot to be very close to the top of the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: leaderboard is done. They're already done. There are some guys
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: still out on the golf course, most of whom are
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: in the black numbers well over par. In fact, there's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: one guy out there who is. It's Austin Truslow, an American.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: He's plus seven with two holes to go in his round.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: But most everybody else that's within even moderate striking range
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of the upper rationale of the leader board has already
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: finished their round to day, because it is, after all,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: just after nine o'clock nine pm Greenwich meantime there in England.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll update that at a moment. Also, we'll have
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: some pro football notes coming up, and I will put
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: this question to Jake because he apparently tackled this subject
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: in a similar fashion while I was out. And it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the importance of the games on the Texas long run
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: football schedule, So we'll get to that coming up. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned, as always, we're certainly happy to entertain
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: your thoughts, your questions, your comments, and a couple of
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: different ways to do that. One and I'll just say
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: it in reverse order right now, and that is to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: reach us via the talkback feature our talkback microphone at
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: on the iHeart. Well, you can reach us on the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: talkback microphone by accessing us on the iHeartRadio app. So
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: what you do is you do the iHeart radio app.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: You download that. It's really easy to do free as
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: well if you haven't done it. And then you do
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a search under AM thirteen hundred the zone. It will
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: pop right up. And when it pops up, then you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: simply push the little red button with the white microphone
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: on it. You do that and it will open up
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the microphone for you. Well, and then you can leave
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: us a voice message of up to thirty seconds, and
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I'll go be on thirty it'll cut you off, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you can do it certainly within thirty seconds and leave
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: us a message. That's one way to do it, and
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the other way to do it. You can reach us
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: by just leaving us a text. Many of you like
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to do that. You text us on the text line,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: so feel free to do that. One other thing that
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do. What you do is you text
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the word texas followed by your question or comment to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: eight one five three zero. So you text the word
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: texas followed by your question or comment to eight one
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: five three zero. Standard messaging in data rates may apply.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: The other thing that I was going to mention and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to get to it during
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: are inconceivable, but it's it's worth mentioning, and it's something
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: our friend Chris Bennett CB on Twitter to yesterday he
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: let us know about the empty Super Mario sixty four
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: video game box selling for over ten thousand dollars at auction.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: There was that. But CB, who of course is a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Greater Austin Area native and attended what was at the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: time known as Lanier High School it's now Navarro Early College.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: But he lives now in the Pacific Northwest, and so
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes he'll gain access to some things that some story,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: some ideas that we haven't heard down here, like this
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: one where he said, because the second half, the figurative
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: second half of the Major League Baseball season begins tonight
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: weather permitting, right with with the Mets and Phillies, wildfire
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: smoke permitting. And that's is that emanating from Canada? Is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that what it is?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: It is it's been it's really bad in Wisconsin and Michigan.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: But in Minnesota too.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's spreading those you know, south east towards
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: the mid Atlantic.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, uh, they are supposed to play tonight and that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: would be the one game on the Big League. Say,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: if there's only one game, does somebody have an exclusive
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: telecast right on that? Okay, Okay, yeah, because they've been
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: doing Thursday night games. Okay, So the figurative second half
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: of the baseball season begins tonight, but most everybody else
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: begins the figurative second half tomorrow, including the Seattle Mariners. Well,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the Mariners trying out something different. And when it comes
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: to concessions. Now, when we always read about the concession
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: items that are coming up at the start of a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: baseball season, you know, gigantic hot dogs or hamburgers, or
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: huge Sundays, ice cream Sundays, or pizzas or things like that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But that's almost all I think in the first half
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: or starting off a season. Well, now the Mariners have
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: announced over a dozen new menu items coming to Tea
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Mobile Park and it's going to start tomorrow. Their vice
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: president a fan Experience, Malcolm Rogel, said, our fans have
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: come to expect a unique and diverse food experience at
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Team Mobile Park, and we're excited to continue building on
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that tradition. These new editions bring even more variety to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the menu and create new opportunities for fans to discover
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: their next ballpark favorite. First things about the food there
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: really okay. The new options will be in addition to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the so many other items that they introduced to the
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: start of the season. But here's that's what's coming. They
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: have something called the El Rinconcito, which is the t
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: mobile pin Casa Trompo with crispy corn tortillas, a couple
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of them, marinated pork, grilled pineapple, pineapple salcea melted mozzarella cheese.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: There's that, and then there's a chips and guac value
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: thing with tortilla chips with homemade guacamole. They have Ivars
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in section one seventeen one thirty five. Ivars is offering
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Copper River three piece salmon and chips. Oh you ever
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: had Copper River salmon? Well?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: No, because of my fish allergies.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forget.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I'm working on it. The white fish is I'm working
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: it back into my diet. That's a whole other show,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: a summer show, the Allergy Special.
• 35:48

• 38:41
  Speaker 1: or with fries. So it's a corn dog, but instead
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the hot dog being the center, it's chicken. So it's
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: corn the corn batter around chicken. I am. It's kind
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: of hard to get white of my mind, you know
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: about it not being a hot dog.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Why over complicate the chicken tender. It's like how milk
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: takes this taste the weirdest when you're expecting it to
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: be water.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: They also offer Seattle Street Corn Capitol in section one

• 40:07
  Speaker 1: burger sauce or habanero bacon jam and brioche bun. So anyway,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: those are like some new menu items. Thank you CB
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: for sending that to us. The Mariners thirteen new and
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: the difference on this, and what's difference is is that
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: it's mid season because most you know, major league teams
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: were for that matter, if you get in the football
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: season after kickoff at the start of a football season,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you know they have their new menu items for the year,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: but they don't go about adding more at mid season
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: or changing them out. So apparently the Mariners have thirteen
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: new items that are just now coming into mid season
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: call it mid season acquisitions before the trade deadline, so
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: that the Mariners have a shot to win the American
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: League West, Yes, which is wide.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Open try and get to their first World Series in
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: franchise history, like Gino predicted for US before the season.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right, so we'll see if that ultimately case.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: On the text line, somebody said, you know, we always
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: went to Fish City Grill in the DFW area for
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Copper River salmon. It usually ran June, July August. I
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: think that makes sense there, you know, so there's places
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: up there. So yeah, it's a good taste, it really is. Okay,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: coming up, we'll update the Open Championship leader board. Everybody
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: should be done by the time we come back from
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the break, and also we'll start to get into this
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: football conversation about the importance of certain games. You know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: is the old thing about how every game matters and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: all that. In this day and age of college football,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: some matter more than others. It's a very Orwellian thing.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: You know. All games are created equal, but some games
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: are more equal than others. In the world of college football,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: not all games are created equal, but get to the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: importance of some of those. Coming up when we continue
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio AU thirteen hundred zon any iHeartRadio appuld
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: you this Duty City nineteen sixty seven wound up. It
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: was released as single with them wound Up on the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Magical Mystery Tour album, which came out like Christmas sixty seven.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: In the sixty I am a wares jake hitting that
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: because But the last time a guy opened with a
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: five hunder sixty five at Royal burt Dale in the
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: first round of the Open Championship was Craig Stadler, also
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: known as the Walrus, back in nineteen eighty.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Three, shot a sixty four sixty four and went into
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: the final round one shot behind Tom Watson, but wound
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: up shooting a seventy five on Sunday, finishing one.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Over and Watson I think won itch And that was
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: one of his five Open Championship was in nineteen eighty three. Craigstadler,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you know, like we said, otherwise known as the wal Rate.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Well, Craig, you didn't ask me what this song was about.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what's funny because in there's a song
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: on the White album called glass Onion that John wrote
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: John Lennon wrote, and in it he said, here's another
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: clue for you all. The Walrus was Paul. However, later
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the late Rick Nelson known as Ricky Nelson, back from
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the TV show Ozzie and Harry Days. But then became
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: a teen idol and did Hello Mary Lou And then
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: so as he got older, he did a song called
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Garden Party and it was about showing up at a
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: party in Hollywood or whether they had a lot of
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: people there. And he has a line in there he said,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Yoko brought her Walrus. Everything was swell or something like that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: So he identified John Lennon as being the Walrus. But
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Lennon himself said no to the Walrus was Paul. So
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: he said, you heard about the Walrus and me, Man,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: you know that we're as close as can be. Man, Well,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: here's another clue for you. All the Wallers was Paul.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: This is what he said. So anyway, more clues through
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Beatles songs as well. All right, yeah, it is in
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the books now. The first round of the Open Championship,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, the leader is Jackson Suber shot
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: a five hunder round of sixty five. I was visiting
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: with Cameron Parker during during the break there, and he
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: told me that he said, Yees, Suber has been on
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: two or couple of years now. He had a like
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a tie for fourth or a tie for sixth. He
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: had a tie for fourth I think of the John
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Deere and a tie for six But he said this
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: is unexpected for him to be there. And as you
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: pointed out, he's rooming with former long worn Pierson Cootie
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: getting Coudie shot at three hundred sixty seven, but suber
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: is in the lead at five hundred sixty five. Soon
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: j m at minus four Daniel Brown at minus four
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Daniel Brown. Interesting story about Daniel Brown Brown is you
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: might say he's from England and so you might say
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: he's a little bit of a throwback in that Daniel
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Brown enjoys a smoke on the golf course. He doesn't
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: mind lighting one up. And so he had an exchange
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: with a reporter after his round about lighting one up
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: on the links and a bit of another question.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: I believe you're partial to a cigarette when you're out
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: on the fairway. Given the conditions at the moments anybody
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: said anything to you, you're still allowed to have a
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: smoke while you're out there, or are you a.
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: Fire rice being told off the wispop and making sure
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: that they're.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Out when you stop out on right? Okay, so you
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: still you're still managed to.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Try the smoke, right, Okay, hopefully for the rest of eight.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: It might be a big drop off by Sunday. If
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: I'm not allowed today probably sorry, mum. I'm probably on
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: like seven or eight around.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I would say seven or eight around. Well around was
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: four hours, so you know whatever, two per hour. I
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: guess that's not too bad. I don't know. It's just
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: we're our society now has become you know, very non
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: smoking encouraging, I guess is a way to describe it,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: at least in terms of conventional tobacco.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: It's less smoke or friendly for sure. Yeah, some people
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: have got the you know, the vapes.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know some people who are still kind
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: of vape a little bit. I will tell you this,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: having returned from vacation, which was a driving vacation, which
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: meant driving from the mountains, inclusive of going through Tennessee
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: and driving to the mountains of North Carolina actually the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: mountains of West Virginia down in through North Carolina and
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: in the South Carolina. And then when we drove back,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: we drove back up to Asheville. So we're driving up
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: through eastern North Carolina to the sand hills. You see,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: tobacco growing everywhere, big leafy plants. I mean, that's still
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: a big that's still a big product. That's something that
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: they produce there in the Carolinas. They're in the tobacco belt.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: That's why you always hear things about Tobacco Road. You know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: basketball rivalry to Carolina Duke on Tobacco Road and all
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. Right around there, there's not too
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: much tobacco. I will say this. I grew up in Greensboro,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: which was a insurance and textiles town still is. When
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I was going up there, it had about one hundred
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and sixty hundred eighty thousand people, I guess, and it's
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I think a little over two hundred thousand. The metro
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: area with Winston Salem in a high point is in
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: excess of half a million now. But there's not much
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: agriculture media around. There's textile mills and then there's insurance.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: But you venture outside, not far outside the city, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: you will come across tobacco. I can recall when I
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: was like sixteen or seventeen, during the summertime, a friend
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: of mine who had a car, and we got in
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the car and we just went out. We're driving. We
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: used to just do that. We just drive and see
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: what's you go up to the Hanging Rock State Park
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: or go to Balues Creek Lake to do some swimming
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: or other, but you might just be driving down. And
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: so we were out and we pulled into a little
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: what we in this state would refer to as a
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: convenience store. Back then in North Carolina they were known
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: as curb markets. We call it a curb market basically
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: a convenience store. But it was like a you know,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: not a chain, not like going to a seven eleven
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: or a circle k or anything like that. It was
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: just it was just, you know, a personal store, like
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: that little general store whatever. So we walk in and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: there's a lady behind there, and we walk in and
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we just you know, go to the soft drink box
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and slide open the big old tray thing, the big
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: drink box, and then pull out a you know, a whatever,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: a sixteen ounce bottle of soda and walk over there
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and maybe a candy bar or something. And she's ringing
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: us up, and she hadn't seen this before, and she goes,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: you boys in, Maggie, And I didn't know, I didn't understand.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, you boys in Baggy and then Maggie see
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: in backy tobacco. Were we out working in the field
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: some tobacco. I was like, oh no, man, no, we're
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: just passing through. I'll never forget that you boys in backy.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: So uh sounds Australian almost. Well, No, it was quite country.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. It was southern North Carolina quite country.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: But Daniel Brown enjoys tobacco apparently a little bit, so
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: there's some of that. Bryson de Shamba was asked about
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: his round. He shot up three in around sixty seven.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I remember, this is a guy who who has missed
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the cut in the first three majors, the Masters, the PGA,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: in the US Open. If he misses the cut at
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: the Open Championship, he will become the first golfer in
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: modern history to win multiple majors and then miss the
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: cut in all four of the majors in a given year.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't look like he'll do it unless he just completely
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: implodes tomorrow. He shot up three in a round of
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: sixty seven and was asked for an evaluation of his
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: first round.
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a hard fought battle out there is
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: the wind was switching quite a bit, but It was
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: fun seeing a lot of the fans going at us
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: and they were rotten for all of us us, and
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: it was fun just seeing the ups and downs of
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: the group. And we all played pretty well, so it
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: was it was a lot of fun. And you know,
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: there's some just driving holes out there that I got
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: to work on. Other than that, Iron played it really
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: well and made some good putts and three putted once.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: But that's life. Ah, that's life. But he did all
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: right three hundred sixty seven. So unless he just completely implodes,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I think he will make the cut in this he
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: made He made another comment there where he said hearing
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: them rooting for all of us. I heard one of
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the golf commentators this morning watching the coverage mention, I
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: was talking about Wyndam Clark and Windam Clark, by the way,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: struggled today.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah when he finished three over, two over, I think
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: three right right next to Rory.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so of course Clark the us of a champion.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And see Rory finished two over, Wyndham Clark three over
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: and Windham Clark three over. He struggled today, So did
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Jordan Speed. He had a three over a round of
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: seventy three today and one of the golf commentators was
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: watching Wyndam Clark. This was earlier in the round before
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: he really encountered trouble. And and by the way, the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: common thread of this first round of the Open, the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: trouble was mainly on the back nine. Scotty Scheffler was
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: four under at one point, largely due to what he
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: was doing on the front night. Same thing with Calamaakama and.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Sun Jaiim, you know, bucked that trend. He was thirty
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: two coming in.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: And he was one of the early ones to tee off,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I think before the winds kicked up quite a bit.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: But the one of the golf commentators was talking about
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Wyndam Clark and he actually said, Windam Clark playing here
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: at Royal Birkdale and it's not a road game for him.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: If you remember when Clark was battling against Scotty Scheffler
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: and others, fans were clearly not rooting for Wyndham Clark
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and he acknowledged it. You know it that it happened.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: You know, he understands given some of the past and
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: the things like that, but as he said, not a
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: road game. Maybe he needed some people to root against him.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he might have done better than
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: shooting three over seventy three. Who knows. All Right, coming up, well,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: we'll get to this college football topic I was talking
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: about next on thirteen under the Zone Thursday afternoon in
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: the sports radio in thirteen numbers on any O, little
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: CCR here on the return cut.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little nod to your road trip tails and
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: little nods, A little nod. So what's coming up around
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: the bank?
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: Come?
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, what's coming up next week? We'll be in
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Tampa for the SEC Football Media Days. Will be there
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday, including when Texas is there on Thursday,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: So we'll bring you programs from there, and we'll obviously
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: have conversation long more players. I'll have my annual media
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Days conversation with head coach Steve Sarkisian. So we'll have
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: those things coming to you next week. So getting into
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: this football mindset, I talked about the you know, the
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: mile markers, the mile posts that you see that know
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: that let you know that football season is approaching. One
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: of those, obviously, is the annual publication of the magazines,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: obviously Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. It is out. It
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: is on the news stands. I did check it is
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: also available at Barnes and Noble because I went there
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to get another publication the other day and I saw
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: it there. I got to get my hands on that
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: it's there. And then athlon I picked this one up
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: when I was on vacation because I couldn't get access
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: to the other ones and I wanted some reading materials,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: some college football preview reading material in advance. When I
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: was out there, you picked up Lindy's and I've gotten
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: that one before. And then what a lot of folks
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: do feel is the pre eminent preseason publication is Phil
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Steele's College Football Annually. Now, I will tell you this,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: the Phil Steel thing is, it's pretty heavy, and it's
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: pretty chock full. It's the priciest one. It's twenty five
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: bucks to get it. There's a lot of really good information.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you this also, Phil Steele's publication,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: just like Cathline, just like these, really and truly is
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: at a bit of a guess work when it comes
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: to certain things. For example, the most celebrated of those
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: being Brendan Soresby and his status, and at the time
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: that these publications went to print, Soresby had not been
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: ruled permanently ineligible, and you know or it had not
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: withdrawn his name and wasn't going to play for Texas
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Tech and then was ruled ineligible for the Supplemental Draft
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. He is eligible for twenty twenty seven.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: So at the time that these publications went to the printer,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: they could only guess. Now, I will tell you this,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: it was going to be very difficult for my friend
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Greg Tepper, the editor in chief of Dave Campbell's Texas
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Football magazine, and for them, especially with Texas Tech on
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: the cover of it. Joey McGuire's on the cover. This
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: is the first not for Tech to have its head
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: coach on the cover. The first is having a prominent
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: donor on the car, having Cody Campbell to the booster,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: having him on the cover.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: It's kind of framed like a well, that's Joey maguire
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: behind him, right, kind of framed like the like the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Sith floor looking over them.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. And and and I'll ask Chap when
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I see him down in Houston this weekend at coaching school.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe those pictures should be reversed.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows? About tail wagging dog and things of
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: that nature. I will ask him about that. Yeah, I
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: think this was the plan all along, was to have
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: these guys on the cover. I do not think that
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Brendan Sorosby was ever in the picture for being on
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the cover, so I don't they didn't have to change
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the cover on that, and in fact, they probably because
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I think they went to print later than the other
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: two have the closest proximation to how it's supposed to go.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: With Texas Tech at its quarterback spot. They were not
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: counting on Soresby in this and they list Will Hammond,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: the former Hutto Hippo, as the starter. Of the other
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: two didn't quite go the way of listing Will Hammond
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: because they were still waiting to see about Hammond coming
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: off the ACL surgery. But Joey McGuire has said from
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: the moment, at the very least he would be available
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: by the third game, and he said I think at
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a recent interview that he thought he might be available
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: even for their season opener, that there was a chance
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: he might be available for their season opener. So and
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: again I think that's why Tepper and company listed Hammon
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback because they were going to press
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: later and they would have a chance to get to
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: that and and be able to project that because it
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: was a little bit closer uh to the start of
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: the season as opposed to what Aflon's and Lindy's were
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: calling for the number one quarterback spot for the Red Raiders.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: They they had a different transfer right Texas Tech at quarterback.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they well they've got they've got Will Hammond and
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Kirk France.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Kirk France transferred in.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and Aflon's had Kirk France is listed as
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: well as as being the one. Anyway, that was That's
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: another one of those signposts that you're getting closer to
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the start of the football season when you see these
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: preseason publications come out and and and looking at the Longhorns. Uh.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: And we'll, you know, in the coming days and weeks,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: we'll get into specific positional breakdowns. One position that we
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: really won't be breaking down that much will be quarterback
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: because it's arch panning. But but there will be a
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: lot of conversation about who the backup.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Could or oh, there'll be questions about the backup quarter oh.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, so it would be you know, whether
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: it's Dia Bell or kJ Lacey, you know that that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. You know, we'll see. But what what
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: is another feature of what Phil Steele does? He lists
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: like their seasonal results for the last five years, which
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I think is in this case apropos because those are
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: the five years of Steve Sarkisian as head coach. This
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: will be sarks sixth season as head coach. Well that's
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: a tongue twister, sarks sixth season. And then also lists
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: like their last five bowl games as well, but that includes,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the college football playoff games that they had
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: three of them in twenty twenty four, Clemson in Arizona State,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Clemson and home Arizona State and the Peach Bowl, and
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: then Ohio State and the Cotton Bowl, and it goes
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: back as far as the Sugar Bowl. When your last
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: five bowl games only date back three years, you know
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: the program is in a good place for that, which
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: brings us to the schedule this year. So I would
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I would ask you because you said what you did
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a similar type of thing, a
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: little exercise similar to what we're about to do, which
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: you did while I was out on vacation.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Evan Veith and I went through the schedule all twelve
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: games and sort of tiered them in terms of our anticipation,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: our excitement level for them.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, so that's like anticipation excitement.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you your opinion for the import
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: of each of these games, starting with we'll just say
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: we'll do this. Which of these twelve games would you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: say is the twelfth most important game? They're all important
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: some of that, but but if you had to rank
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: them in terms of importance, which of these twelve games
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: will be the.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: Twelfth most important UTSA Week three?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: I'm in agreement with you because two games will be
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: under belt by then, and it's UTSA. Not that UTSA
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: is a scard thing, but you always have to be
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: ready for the start of season. Right.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: How about your eleventh most Evan and I differed here.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: I have Texas State. Evan had Arkansas. Okay, I'm in
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: agreement with you. I think Texas State.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Now it is a season opener and you have to
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: be ready and all that sort of thing. And this
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: will be the first time these two programs have played
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: with Texas State. Being Texas State, this game has been
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: on the schedule for several years, and there's a great
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: deal of anticipation with the Bobcats that's coming up thirty
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: miles up the road. They've played in all other sports,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: you know, baseball, they play home at home annually, men's basketball,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: and women's basketball, softball, they've all played Texas State, but
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: this will be the first time Long worn football team
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: has played the Texas State Bobcats. On that, and I'm
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: gonna agree with you. I think it's the eleventh most, right,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: tenth most.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Now, it's tough to put Arkansas at number ten because
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: this is a traditional rival, but on paper it looks
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: to be the most lopsided in terms of the talent
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: on the rosters preseason. Of the remaining games, I'll throw
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: it at number ten.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I agree with you it put it this way, it's
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: the most secure of the conference games, a home game
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: against a team that's picked by many to finish in
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: last place in the Lake ninth most that.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: See, Now you're getting into a tier where a lot
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: of them are pretty similar.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: I'll go with Mississippi State on Halloween.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, i'd agree with you on that all right, number eight?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Who I mean, Now, they're all important they're the ones
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: we've got left to talk about because they're all going
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: to be instrumental in terms of Texas reaching its goal
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: of making the College Football Playoff. And with this schedule
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: being so difficult, you can't lose, you know, you can't
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: have that many margins for air.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I'll go with at Missouri Yep. Same here, on the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: same boat with you there, all right, Seventh most now
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's tough, no matter what. Now, I'll
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: go with Florida.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I hate putting Florida there because they lost to him
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: last year, right, but.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: It was in Gainesville, and you know that that sort
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of thing. No, I'm so far. I'm in lockstep with you,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: all right. Sixth most important.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: In the same tier as Florida, Ole miss.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, fifth most important game.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: And this is crazy that it's only fifth in the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: top five at LSU November fourteenth.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: For me, Yeah, I'm gonna say that, if only because
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: the next one I think that we're going to pick
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: it's a more difficult challenge, then this game will be.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Even though going to Death Valley at Night is not
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: going to be easy. I'm with you on that, all right.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: So LSU number five, number four.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: So does that make your next one at tennis?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: It does. It's a conference opener, it is a conference opener,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: and and you know it is a road game. And
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is a better football team than LSU at least
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: right now. Anyway, I don't think so you don't.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: I think LSU has got a have a better season
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: than Tennessee. Tennessee has more coming back from last year's roster.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I suppose they lost a lot, though Tennessee lost a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: lot on defense.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm inclined to think that Tennessee. In fact,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Phil Steele has Tennessee ahead of LSU as well.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: But LSU you're gonna find anywhere one through eight in
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: your SEC projections.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: I feel Here's here's one thing that Phil Steele says.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: If they take care of business at home versus Texas
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: and Alabama, they will put themselves in the thick of
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: the SEC title race and perhaps a trip back to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: It scares me to put this at number four because
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: this is probably Tennessee's number one.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Well, if they're both road games, you think LSU's better,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Why would you rank LSU below the road game in Tennessee.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: Because of the spot on the schedule.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: I think Tennessee is more important because it's the SEC opener,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: and because you might go into that game with the loss.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, number three, I've got the red River game.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: All right, give me three two one. You got Oklahoma
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: number three.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: At Texas A and M. Two.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: I think the Ohio State game on September twelve is
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: the most important game of the season.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not going to agree with you on that
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: because it's a non conference game and we've seen that
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: they if they don't lose to Florida, if other things
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: that am that, they're going to be in the playoff anyway,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: despite the loss in Columbus a year ago. Now this
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: game is at home and it is important. I would
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put the the Oklahoma and Texas A
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: and M games as one in one A either way
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: you want to put them, yeah, And I would put
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Ohio State numbers.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: They're all one A, one B, and one C.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: For me, I just think about the Ohio State game
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: through this lens Steve Sarkisian trying to break through and
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: get this Texas team past the College Football Playoff semi
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: final into that national championship.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Which you can do even if you lose to Ohio State.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: But you might not have the chance to do that
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: if you lose to Oklahoma and or Texas A and M.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: But who are the teams that have stood in their
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: way consistently, Ohio State and Georgia.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: You don't play Georgia this year.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Right, But again, I maintain you can get into the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: playoffs with a loss to Ohio State. You might not
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: be able to get there if you lose to Oklahoma
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: tie breakers. Same thing with Texas A and M.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: But if Ohio State is who we think they are, yeah,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: and you beat them, yeah, you got a real chance
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: of making it in with three losses.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. It's true last year.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: If you flip the Ohio State loss with Florida, Yeah,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: or say flip the Ohio State loss, you know, you
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: beat them, but you lose to somebody else like a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Texas A and M R. Maybe there's a better argument
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: to put them in.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's it'd be interesting to see. All right.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: So that's that's how close it is. But we're pretty
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: close on a lot of these. All right. We'll be
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: back to wrap up power number two on thirteen under
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: the Zone. Third and final hour of the program here

  Speaker 3: Not objectionable like my Ohio State game.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Take no, No, we can you. It's a valid take
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: what you have. I happen to look at it differently,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't dismiss it at all because
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: you make a very good point that if the Longhorns win.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously the season opening is Texas State and
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: then beat Ohio State. Then things are set in motion.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: At that point at two and zero, they're going to
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: be in the top five at the very least, probably
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: in the top two or three at that point, you know, So, yeah,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see anything really faulty in your
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: logic when we were ranking what in terms of importance,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: what we think are the most important and least important
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: or at least the one And of course this is
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: the kind of conversation you never want to have with
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: a head coach. You never want to have the which
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: game is more important than the other games? Conversation with
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: the head coach. I can promise you I won't to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: have that conversation with Steve Circasian didn't think so. I'm
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: going to see Sark this Sunday when he participates in
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: the Division one FBS Football Coaches Panel discussion as part
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: of the Texas High School Coaches Association's annual Coaching School
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: and Convention that's been going on since the nineteen thirties,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: and it's in Houston this year. It's largely been in
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: San Antonio, but it's alternated in Houston. There was many
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: years in the seventies, eighties and nineties, it was it
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: would alternate between it would go Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Houston,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: Dallas Houston, Fort Worth, Houston. And that's to make sure
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: they got maxed out the membership of coaches, because some
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: from South Texas might not want to go all the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: way up to the Metroplex, but only given a year.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Those from the pan Ina on West Texas might not
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: want to go all the way to Houston. But the
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: one city that they could all agree on that they
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: like going to with San Antonio, because I'm to take
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: the families and they might go to s to Texas
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: or you know, SeaWorld or whatever that sort of stuff,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, and you got the River Walk and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So San Antonio kind of
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: got incorporated, but it took a long time to get
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: it because San Antonio, the convention in visitors Beuer, wasn't
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: that interested in you know, they're one of the biggest
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: convention cities in the world, San Antonio is, and they
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: really weren't that interested in hosting. And it took quite
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: a bit of work on the part of the Coaches
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Association to convince them. You know, when you got thirteen
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: thousand coaches and I know what the argument is from
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, you got thirteen thousand coaches coming
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: into town, and they come into town with one pair
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: of underwear and a ten dollar bill and they don't
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: change either throughout the course of the weekend. There was that.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Now in later years we discovered that not to be
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: the case. That golf courses and gentlemen's cabarets do landmark
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: business during a coaching school.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: Do they know as well?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been told that that it happens that way
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: as well. But I will tell you this, the leadership
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: of the Coaches Association with they have with Joe Martin
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: and Glenn West and those people, they have really transformed
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: not only the convention but also the association. It's with
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: the Education Foundation. I've served on the board of that.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: The things that they do, the motto of the Coach
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Associations helping coaches help kids, the different involved activities that
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: they're involved in, and the fundraising efforts and things of
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: that nature. It's been very, very impressive to see. And
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: because this is the largest coaching convocation in the world,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: with like I said, more than thirteen thousand there, they
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: attract top of the line speakers in terms of college
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: football and also in basketball. I mean they've had you
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: name it, the biggest names in the game have all
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: lectured at coaching School for Texas because the college coaches
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: also know it's beneficial to them to continue to network
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: with the high school coaches in the state, recruiting, after all,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: being the lifeblood of the success of a program. So
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: with that in mind, for over twenty years, on Sunday afternoon,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: they've had a panel discussion where they get every Division
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: one FPS coach up on a stage and they hand
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: yours truly a microphone and some questions and I have
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I try to get and it's it's a challenge and
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: in about an hour's time or a little over an
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: hour's time to get all thirteen of those coaches to
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to speak at least twice a piece
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: during the course of that. So there's a question assigned
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: to each and then what we'll do is we may
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: roll through some additional questions as well. So I did
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: this the other day, Let's see if I can remember
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: it again. The thirteen Division one FPS programs, the coaches
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: from these programs SMU, TCU, North Texas, Texas tech U,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: TEP Baylor, Texas, Texas A, and M Houston Rice Sam
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Houston UTSA.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: About leaving what you really left out Sam Houston the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: other time, but you said that today? Yeah, yeah, did
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: you say Texas State.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't say Texas there. It's right because I jumped
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: straight from Houston, San Antonio. So every every every time
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: I do this, one gets left out, but it's a
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: different one every time.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: So it's something about our brain, right, phone numbers one
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: of the twelve digits.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right. So anyway, I can't believe I forget about
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: g J Kinney and Texas State, but but I've had
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: UTSA pop out of mind. I was like, how could
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: I forget about that? Because you know it's uh, it's
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you think of that the teams the opponents
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: on the Texas schedule rind of mind, and both UTSA
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: and Texas State are on the Texas schedule this year.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Those two games wrapped around the Ohio State game as well. UTSA.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, when when when you and I talked
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: about this in terms of ranking of the importance of
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: these games you mentioned I asked you which game did
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: you think was the I didn't say not important. I
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: just said the twelfth most important game, and you said
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: UTSA correct. Yep, and uh, with no disrespect at all
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: intended for the Roadrunners or head coach Jeff Trailer. I
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: would agree with you only because where it falls in
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: the schedule. Yep. And it is a non conference game.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: But it's not like UTSA is going to be a doormat.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: They're picked second in the American Athletic Conference behind Navy,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: so they're picked to finished second. Of course, last year
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Tulane won the league to beat North Texas in the final.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Tulane has picked third in that league. North Texas, by
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: the way, after being just absolutely devastated by the portal
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: and by the loss of their head coach Eric Morris
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: and losing their quarterback Drew Mestimaker the Vandergrid Viper, and
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: losing their number one running back and their number one
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: wide receiver as well, losing all of those to Oklahoma State.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: Does a mascot stay.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that me and Green will be building up.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, Phil Steel has him out of twelve teams, No,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: out of fourteen teams. I guess he's got them eleventh
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: out of fourteen. They come off a bowl win North
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Texas does over San Diego State and the New Mexico Bowl,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: but they lost quarterback, top wide receivers and others all
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: headed for still Water going to Oklahoma State there. So
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: that's definitely Eric Morris the new head coach at Oklahoma
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: State after Mike Gundy was let go after all those years.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see. We'll also see how much that
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: helps Oklahoma State. New blood, new infusion, new head coach,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: and a lot of new talent coming in to still
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Water for that Oklahoma State program as they try to
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: get things turned around. They had a very difficult time
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: last year and the Cowboys went one and eleven a
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: year ago. Their one win a season ago for Oklahoma
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: State was their season opener against you team, Martin, and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: they lost eleven in a row after that.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: So let's to your point on UTSA, They've got the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: probably the best returning quarterback now in the conference with
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: the departure of mess to Maker and Owen mccownt and
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: his senior season. Will Henderson the third is on the
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: first team offense, if not in Lindy's Preview magazine, so
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: they'll have some firepower back.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, absolutely In Oklahoma State will be improved with
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: mess to make her quarterback to projector at Caleb Hawkins
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: will be a sophomore at the running back. I had
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: such a fabulous freshman campaign at North Texas.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: So I talked to Steve Helwick, who covered the Big
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: twelve media days in Frisco. He said, of all the
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: head coaches, the new head coaches making a first impression,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: he came away the most impressed with Eric Morris.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he can do that. He can definitely impress you,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. I'm missed having the opportunity to visit
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: with him on that podium, on that stage because the
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: thirteen coaches there are Division one coaches in the state
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: of Texas. But like I said, I'll see Sark on Sunday,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll see Sunny Dyke's of TCU on Sunday.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Dave Randa, the head coach at Baylor, obviously, Joey Maguire
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, GJ Kenniott Texas State, Jeff Trailer, who's usually
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: the most entertaining of all thirteen. He's usually the one
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: that breaks up the group the most. It's pretty funny
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: and I've known him a long time. If I called
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: three of the state championship games for television. Great guy,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: but all those guys. Willie Fritz has become a real
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: popular now with what he did at the University of Houston,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: Jeff Haybell, with what he did at Rice and starting
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: to turn them around. I'm always impressed with what Rhet
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Lashley from SMU, what he has to say about that.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: And we mentioned North Texas losing Eric Morris, but you know,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: you might say all not being completely lost for the
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: Mean Green because they're gonna get Neil Brown in as
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: the new head coach. He was, of course the former
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: coach of West Virginia, did a great job at Troy
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: when he was in the Sunbelt earlier. So Neil Brown
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: will be up there on the stage. So we'll look
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: forward those conversations and then we'll have a recap of
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: that early next week before heading to Tampa for SEC
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: foot Media Days, where we were here from Longhorns and
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: others as well. Okay, up next, check the open leaderboard.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: The first round now completely finished, and we'll hear from
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: some of the particulars in that first round. And we
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: got more college football to get to when we continue
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday, afternoon on Sports Radio AM thirteen under
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: the Zone any iHeartRadio app? Okay, yeah, dam is this
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: NBC Golf music again?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: And we've got the Open Championship theme. It goes by
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: the name Legend.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there it is. We'll get to the
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: leaderboard here and here's from sound here. In just a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: moment on the text line, we had somebody sent a
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: text and said, you're in North Carolina and a Greensboro area. Guy.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: Most people are now familiar with high Point. Why is
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: there a town twenty miles away called Climax, North Carolina.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: The story and what I'm about to do is I'm
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: going to tell you about there are four towns within
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: a fifty mile not even that, about a thirty thirty
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: five mile range of where I grew up in North Carolina. Now,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: the area where I grew up in Greensboro is known
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: as the Piedmont Triad. The triad is three cities, Greensboro,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: high Point, Winston Salem. Winston Salem is where wake Forest
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: is located. The school at the entire university actually moved
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: from wake Forest, North Carolina, which was out a little
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: bit east of Raleigh back in the mid fifties. R. J. Reynolds,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: the big tobacco magnate, paid millions of dollars he wanted
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: as he built up this city through his tobacco empire,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: wanted a major university there. So he paid to move
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: the entirety of wake Forest University about nineteen fifty three
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: to move it about one hundred miles west to Winston Salem.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: So that's where it was. Wake Forest was actually located
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: in wake Forest, North Carolina until the early fifties, announced
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: in Winston Sale but it's there. So these three cities
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: comprised the Piedmont Triad, and they are They add up
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: to a total population about a half a million. I'd
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: say they're known for three different things. Mainly I mentioned
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: earlier the Greensboro was really textiles and to a lesser extent,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: insurance as well. Winston Salem is about tobacco. You've heard
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: of the cigarettes. Winston and Salem they were at one
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: point two separate cities. They merged and incorporated in nineteen thirteen,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: and that's where the big RJ. Reynolds tobacco company is.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: They get high Point, which is known really as the
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: furniture Capital. That's where Thomas furniture comes from Thomson was
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: a little town right outside of there. So they're known
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: for their different things. And there's lots of little towns
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: around in the area. There are four cities in this area.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: These cities carry these names, high Point, which I just mentioned,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: high Point, Climax, Erect, and Hornytown. No they don't, Yeah
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, there's four towns there, high Point, Climax,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: Erect in a horningtown. And he noticed, I said, erect.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: That's how they pronounced it. It is spelled erect as
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: if you were going to erect a building, you know,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: E R E C T, but's pronounced erect. In fact,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Erect is probably only about five miles from.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: An old church.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Church and church cemetery in a little area known as
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: Pleasant Hill, where several of my and sisters are buried,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: including my great great grandfather Samuel Houston Way, who was
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: a Quaker minister. He did serve in the Confederate Army,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: but he got leave to go preach to his congregation.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: He did not command much there was he was I
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: was told a Confederate colonel.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: But Samuel Houston, no wonder. You got to Texas as
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: soon as you could.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: How about that he was my great great grandfather that
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: he lived from eighteen thirty to nineteen ten.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: Got to be careful naming a church in Erect.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Erect, well they went, they erected a church there,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: you know, so Erect Climax And yes, Hornytown. Now Hornytown
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: is spelled h O r n e Y t Own.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: The name Horny with an E before the y is
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: one of those names in that part of the state
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: that's rather common. We had a guy who was pretty
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: good football player. It was a year behind me at
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: my high school. Rag saw Chuck Horny, and he pretty
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: good football player. In fact, he followed me as the
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: sports editor or the Tiger Prowl, the school newspaper I
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: was in high school there. So the answer to the
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Texas question, I don't know what the story is with
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: that with Climax. Climax is a tiny little place on
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: the Highway sixty two, kind of between Burlington and Greensboro
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: and Ashboro' It's a very small little town. In fact,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: to call it a town would be a stretch. It's
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: a community really, with a couple of the what did
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: I say earlier curb markets. You know, it would be
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: convenience ores, that sort of thing. That most of these
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: are or are farming communities. They're very small little towns
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: outside of the area. Erect is a very small little town,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: despite what the name might suggest, not growing. It's not growing,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: not growing, not showing not to stop it. It's it's
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: just it's a very small town.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: Climax but not quite.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that far from it.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: Its far so you're approaching it.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Anyway. That's yeah, that's all I know about it.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: I thought I had to do with the elevation climax
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: versus high point.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: It could be, it could be. I do know the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: reason for a high point. It's kind of like in
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: this state. Up in Denton County, north of Dallas and
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: north of Denton is a town called pilot Point, And
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: in fact, I was for a couple of years the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: play by play voice of the pilot Point Bearcats when
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: I was in college in North Texas. They were a
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: two eight football dynasty, one back to back state titles
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: in eighty one and eighty eighty and eighty one and
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: won a later title. They they were a really outstanding
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: small school football program. But it was named the community
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: for something that was a point of measurement was surveyors
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: and the same thing with hilot High Point was named
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: because it was the highest ground on where they were
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: surveying to lay the railroad in the eighteen hundred.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: So you want to be the coach at Pilot Point,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: you got to wear the Joe Gibbs aviators.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. Well. Ga Moore, who was a legendary
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: coach and in one over four hundred games until just
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: a few years ago, was the all time winning his
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: coach in Texas high school football. Ga was the coach.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: It was from Pilot Point, played at North Texas, came
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: back and his first coaching job was at Pilot Point.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Then he left to go be the head coach fifteen
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: miles east on farm to Market four fifty five at Salina,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: which we know to be a dynastic program. He was
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: there for a while, then he went back to Pilot Point.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: He won state championships at Solina, then he won state
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: championships at pilot Point. Then he tried his and at
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: the big school. He went to Sherman. He was there
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, had a winning season, but didn't
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: like it. Went back coach at Aubrey, another community right
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: there in the area. But he was one of the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: all time legendary head coaches. He was at pilot Point
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: high Point is was because of measurement I cannot give
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: you because I don't know the explanation and the origin
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: of the names of Climax, Erect, and Hornytown. The only
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: thing I can think of, Like I said, Horningtown is
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: horny with an it's h r in ey, not the
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: way some might think of that hr in the e.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: Y was because that was a common name at that time.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Up there, are you looking up something on the origin
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: of these towns.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: All I'm getting for Erect, North Carolina is the pottery
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: capital of North Carolina.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's right near Seagrove and Jug Town, which is yeah,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: by the way that's saying there too is jug Town.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: But the the reason for Jugtown is pottery. It's all
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: about pottery. Sea Grove, which is fifteen miles south of Ashboro,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: where my dad grew up, is known really and truly
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: as the pottery capital of North Carolina. Erect is very small.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Seagrove actually has a lot of pottery shops, and there's
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: a little just a mile or two outside of town
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: called Jugtown, which is basically pottery stores.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: And you're right, Hornytown was named for the Horny family.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought so, I thought.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: But Hornytown and jug Town, right, it gives your wrong
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: ideas about these others set.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: They're about forty miles apart. But jug Town is because
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: of pottery. That's why Sea Grove, as it's said, by
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: the way, the reason Seagrove got its name is archaeologists
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: discovered seashells, actual seashells in the soil Seagrove. And you said,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: what's a big deal about that? Seagrove is like one
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five miles inland from the host so
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: it should in the day when the oceans, which were
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: all connected before the land masses broke them up, you know,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: millions and millions of years ago, there were seashells in
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: the soil there Sea Grove. And that's why wound up
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: being like it, what hang on?
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: How about the nearby town of why Not in the
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Pimont triad.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the deal with why Not is and it's on
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: it's on the highway seven O five and it's just
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: right outside of Sea Grove. Uh. And in fact, you
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: would take a turn off of seven o five and
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: why not to go to drugtown? Why not? Jugdown? You'd say,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: The reason why not is called that is because when
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: these people set up the town, there was a great
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: debate over what to name the town, and there was
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: and it was like, why not name this? Why not?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: And they finally said, why not just call it? Why not?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: It's you know, every town had that conversation, but only
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: why Not settled on that name.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: Why not North Carolina? Yeah, and that's why they call
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: it that. It's why not. All right, we'll get why
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: not get back to some other topics, which we'll do
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: with the Open Championship next on thirteen under.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: The zone No no matter, get where you're going with this, since.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: We were talking about higher elevations with the Antal Mountain high enough.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I hear the song and it always makes
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: me thinking, remember the Titans. So because it's it's taken
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: to that. Just one more note about this business about
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: these these towns where I grew up, there were there
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: was another town. Uh, there were a couple other towns nearby,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: and one of them was called black Ankle. Black Ankle,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: really yep, Black Ankle. And I asked my dad about
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: Black Ankle and he said it comes from there. Used
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: to be coal mines down there. So there's a little
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: community called Black.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: Ankle nineteen twenty eight to nineteen thirty five.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was, and then the area is still.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: There's an exit off US two twenty for Black Ankle Road.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: You can go to it. I've driven over that way,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Black Ankle, it's another one. But listen, North
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: Carolina got nothing on Texas on weird town names. Let
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: me just tell you that right now.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: Or weird mascots like the Wampus Cats.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. There are a lot of people huddo
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: hippos is you know, because it's so unique. But yeah,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: there's unusual names for towns in Texas. Okay, to the Leaderboard,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that Jackson super holds the first round league
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: minus five, soon JM. Daniel Brown at minus four, Thomas Tatree,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: Robert McIntyre, Francisco Francesco Molinari, Alex Smalley, Bryson De Shamba,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: Ryan Gerard MJ. Duffy spelled Dafa few e but pronounced
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: Duffies from South Africa. Ladies Collegiate Golf at Lamar Over Beaumont, Pearson, Cootie,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: the long warn Cameron Young all at minus three. The Shambo,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, had you know, missed the cut and the
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: prior three majors, So he was staring history in the
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: fact in the face. In fact, when Cameron Parker was
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: with us yesterday he said he was rooting for in
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: the misticut. I said, wait a minute, I thought you
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: softened your stance on to Shamba, even though he'd gone
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: over to lift golf. He said, I have, but this
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: is history. So he was hoping to see him miss
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: the cut. I don't think it's going to happen. He
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: shot three hundred sixty seven and in the first tower
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: of the program, we heard Sir Nick Faldo, who's working
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: for Sky Sports say that basically Bryson to Shambo, who
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: was lacking strategy, he was just attacking without strategy. Well,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: the Shambo was asked, what kind of strategy did he have?
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 7: You know, I think he've got to be a lot
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: more strategic out on the golf course. And I feel
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 7: like I did a really good job today of being
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: incredibly strategic and focused, super hard and placing it in
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: the right places. Besides eighteen, I placed the ball in
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: some some good areas, but just he did more fairways.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: Other than that, I felt like my strategy was nice today.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, if you keep you track. He said it
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: three times in a strategy fifteen second answer, Yeah, strategy.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: So that was his strategy. So he's at minus three
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: and then the group at minus two. Now this currently
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: is tied for thirteenth because of all the other tithe like.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: For example, there's a two way tie for second between
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: Im and Brown at minus four, and then there is
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine way
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: tie for fourth at minus three with Detree McIntyre, Moullinary,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: smally To Shamba, Girard and Duffy and Pierson, Cootie and
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: Cameron Young. They're all at minus four at minus three
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: at two under Jordan Smith, Victor Perez, Jaquin Lungergren, Rio Hsatuni, Seawoo, Kim,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Nick Taylor, Sepstraca, Bud Cawley, Colin Morikawa, and Scotty Scheffler.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Morikawa and Scheffler both had their round and minus four,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: and both gave Way a couple of shots on the
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: back nine to finish it in minus two. Remember Marikawall
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: like Scheffler is a former winner of the Open Championship.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: He won it four years ago. I believe he wanted
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: at live them. It might have been at Royal Saint
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: George's now that I think about it. So he won
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: it four years ago. So those two guys are former champions.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: And you were right on your correction Royal Saint George. Yep,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: all right. So so Scheffler, who felt pretty good about
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: his round, gave a few things back, was asked a question,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: and this is a very valid question. You don't hear
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: me at times say things about, you know, why did
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: the reporter ask this question? Why did the report of
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: that ask that question. It's in a logical question things
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: like that, and it's been often said, and I completely
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: agree with this. The most challenging part of being a
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: sports broadcaster isn't play by play. That's either a skill
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: that you have or you don't know that you can
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: develop it. My mentor the late Bill Mercy teacher, you
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: can actually diagram it and teach you how to do
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: play by play and get it in an a rhythmic flow.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: It's not play by play, and it's not doing a sportscast.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: It's the interview. The art of the interview being able
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: to ask questions decent enough questions to elicit a decent
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: enough response. And sometimes that just isn't the case. People
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: just don't ask very good questions. I take a dim
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: view of any question that starts with the words walk
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: me through blah blah blah blah blah. It's lazy journalism.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: Walk me through. No, you walk through it asking that
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: what you know, what kind of plan did you have
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: when you got to the par four eleventh and you
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: were over on the right rock, not walk me through
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: the shot thing. That's one of my pet beeves that
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. But Scheffler has asked a good question,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: and this has to do with the choice of driving
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: the golf ball with a driver, or say a three
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: wood or four wood, or hitting an iron, two iron,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: three iron, four iron. Every hole obviously is different, but
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: even the longer holes might present different strategies. There's that
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: word again, on the part of how each individual golfer
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: pursues that. And so Scheffler was asked about the aggressive
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: nature of pulling out the driver even on long holes,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: but it might have narrow landing areas where you might
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: have you know, heavy rough on one side, or haven't
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: forbid gorse on the other or bunkers, And he was
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: asked about juxtaposing driving aggressively with the driver as opposed
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: to hitting with the irons to make sure that he
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: could land it in the fairway and the importance of
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: being able to land the ball in the fairway. I mean,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: there's different strategies.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 5: You know, I played with with two guys today that
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 5: that took out driver a lot, and I actually got
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 5: a little bit more aggressive with my strategy after seeing that.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: A couple of times, like the second hole is a
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 5: good example where the last few days I've been hitting
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 5: foreign out there in the fairway and today it just
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 5: kind of looked.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: Like looked like driver, and so switch it up and
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: end up hitting driver.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 5: And so's there's different ways to play the golf course,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 5: and I think that is that's a sign of, you know,
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 5: a good championship golf course. I think it's unique in
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 5: a sense of we have to think a lot off
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: the tee or on this golf course, and so on
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 5: certain holes and certain pen locations that'll be really important
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: to be in the fairway. But then there's also you
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 5: know the element of surprise a little bit when you
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: do head offline. You know, sometimes you get some lies
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 5: you can get up on the green, and then other
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: times you're going to be in some tough spots. So overall,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's always important to get the ball in play,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 5: but there are.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: Some spots where you can be aggressive on this golf course.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 5: And today was a day in which even the shots
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 5: I was hitting aggressively still have to get the ball
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 5: in the fairly. So I wish I could have gotten
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 5: a little bit more out of it. But overall, like
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: I said, I played some solid golf, so just continue
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: that over the course of the tournament.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: He sounded more upbeat today after the round than he
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: did in the pre tournament press conferences, when he sounded
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: kind of dogmatic about things, and eh, you know it's
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, some of you is. I don't mean for
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: it to sound real gloom, but I'm eventually going to
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: die and nobody's going to really care about what legacy
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: I have on the golf course, so you feel better
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the quote this year, We're all going
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: to die. Yeah, right at the end of the day,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 3: I'm going to live by life and it's going to
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: end history. To me, isn't that important. I don't want
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: to be remembered for winning the tournaments. I'd rather be
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: remembered for the way that I did it, doing things
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: the right way, treating people the right way.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: People calling it the existential open because of ry McElroy
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: similar comments.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah think, okay, all right, very good. Maybe Roy'll take
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: a more existential approach since he shot seventy three today.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: Who knows, maybe just a better approach shot would do.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, We'll be back to wrap up today's
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: edition of the program on Sports Radio AM thirteen under
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: the Zone in the iHeartRadio app. As we get down
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: toward the end of the program, some of the else
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: in the tax line weighing in said it was phenomenally
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: explanations and then he said to you, but you're trying
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: to break him up? Was fantastic.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Rob, one of our longtime listeners. I replied
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: and thanked him for the question because that was a
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: fun conversation about those North Carolina towns.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: He said, I only knew of Climax because of a
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: friend of mine who grew up in Durham, and she
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: mentioned it while Highpoint was doing well in march madness,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: but adding those other towns made it more fun for sure. Well,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: there it is, Rob. You can tell you your friend,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: she probably knows about it. Being from Durham, she probably knows.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: There's there's a town not that far from Durham called Frogsborough.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: Like frogs I stopped and again what was back there?
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: Called a curb Mark convenience store. There was no signs
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: that set it, but I knew where I was, and
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: I and I had to be cheeking. I said, what
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: do they call the name of this communion? So I
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: said Frogsborough. I was like, oh, okay, all right. I
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: didn't ask for any further explanation of it.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: If it was only so simple an erect.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, right exactly. So yeah, those all of those
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: towns are real towns or small communities. Like I said,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: Climax is very small community. Erect is a small community.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: There's not there may be, you know, I don't even
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: know if there's an actual that. The way I judge
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: town sometimes is do you do you have a mercantile
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: at some point? Do you have a do you have
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: a convenience store? Do you have a grocery store? Do
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: you have something like that where folks would go to
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: pick up things, you know, if you lived in the community,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: instead of having to drive. There's a Climax is three
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: miles away from another small town called Julian. Julian like
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: Julian Lennon, you know, Julian and but Julian's a little
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: bit bigger. It's got a couple of stores. But I
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: think there is one in Climax. Just not sure about Erech.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: They got issues of their own, all right, I hope not.
• 1:43:27
