• 1:32
  Speaker 9: Sunday morning and kind of but the music had been
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: going on all night because they were so far behind.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: Maybe Luke could get them for the IDI warm up show.
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: You probably should have. You know, well, which is gonna
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: That's a whole nother that's a whole nother story. We
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: were talking about that earlier. So that's that's an issue.
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: Robert Sessena is here. Welcome back.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: No, you haven't been anywhere. You've been here covering the team.
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: Come on, it's spring practice.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: It's two days. It's not spring anymore.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: This is what this what means by Miller time. Alex
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: Miller knows that team inside and out because he's out
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: there calling place. That's a beautiful thing. Yeah, that's what
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: I'm thinking. And if they win and it's because of Alex, and.
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: If they lose, well, I'm glad you're here because I
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: don't have to talk baseball anymore. We were talking about
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: your man, Paul Skins. I'm not sure what's happened to him.
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: Last time I was here. In the show fill in
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: for hip stand. The man can attest this. I walk
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: in the Pirates or in third the third play wild card,
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: I was excited. I think there were three games over
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: five hundreds and they've just gone into tank since then.
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: It's you're sitting there like they're so painful to watch.
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: I don't know if the Rangers have they been. They've
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: been three over at one point this year, right, b
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah a couple times. Yeah, they made it to three
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: over five hundred a couple of time times and now
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: they're three under.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they don't.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: I lost like a half game out of the playoffs,
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: so they went to and five.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: Everybody in the division was like four and six this
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: week except for well. I actually, I think of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: last ten I saw, the Rangers were also four and sick.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: The Angels were better than that because they played the Rangers.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: But even the Dodgers are losing lately. It's Dodgers are
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: I think the Dodgers are bored.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: Frankly, Hey, you know, so I saw the new rankings
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: the farm systems. I'm gonna take a guess, who's the
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: number one farm system in all baseball? No, No, they're
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: waiting at like seventeen, the Dodgers number one farm systems.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Really in baseball.
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: I would have never thought that, because you have to
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: give them up. I guess they just buy people.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They know what to do, they know what they're doing.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: They scout better than anybody.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: And this is why when people are like all anti Dodgers,
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: you know, they get Pulse, not paulse Kings.
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: They'll probably get him anyway.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: They will get him if they want. They got scuball.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: And so everybody's up in arms about the Dodgers ruined baseball.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They're just doing it right. They're doing it better than
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: everybody way it's supposed to be that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe they'll get an SEC football franchise.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: How far down with the Rangers they had actually moved
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: up to from twenty nine from twenty five to twenty Okay, yeah,
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: so there's about five spots.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And the Astro stayed at twenty.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: Nine, so really you're ahead of them. That's all that matters.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: Well, well, it's not standing that counts now, not head
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: to head, not in the silvery No.
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: No, no, no no.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But I'm not going back down there. I promise you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I vowed not to.
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: If you have, I'm gonna I'm gonna hold you to that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: You said you're not going back.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I will only go to games in Arlington other
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: visiting parks, but I'm not going back to Houston.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: Okay, they wouldn't they wouldn't put your name up on
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: the board.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Is that just not going back?
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: I looked at my record, you know, because the you
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: know the baseball app.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: You know that you have to have for the tickets. Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: so you know the the ballpark app. Yeah, so you
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: keep it keeps track of wins and losses.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: When I've seen the Astros play, which is thirteen times
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: against the Rangers, the Astros are ninety four, so that
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: means the Rangers are four nine.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: Yes, but I would I would argue that's just like
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: the normal. It's not because you're there, not there, that's
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: just kind of that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: But I will say that of those four victories, three
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: of them were in the playoffs.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: Well that's important, so in regular scenes, I'm wanted not
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: might want to pay you with that. Without a dele Scarci,
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: maybe only thirteen.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Well we wouldn't have gone that long, so you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: but hey, I'll always have Game seven.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: And they'll always have Game seven.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: And the obnoxiousness of Rusty Berson at Game seven was
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: over the top, especially at.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: The end you put the taping. No, I can't believe that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was really really, I'm noticious.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: So what did you do this summer seas besides work?
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: You know, there's a lot to be sick. We spent
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: the two weeks in uh Naples at.
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: To be okay, eating okay, and went up one day,
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: didn't go to Tahoe.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: Didn't know. We haven't going to Tahoe in a while. Okay,
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: this is a six year in a row. You know
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: they bred new Caesar's there, right, really yeah, brand new,
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: brand new, brand new, Yes, sir, you need to go
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: big time. Yeah. Yeah, it went well. One day up
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: to the uh up to the casino in Tampa and
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: played four eight limon and one hundred and fifty four dollars.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: Look at you it's excited. That's pretty awesome. That's that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: a Roberts Sports rider deal. You know, hundred you know
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: play I played played for like six hours, you know right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: that's pretty good for eight tables. So you know it
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: was It was great because it was like playing at
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: your neighborhood. You didn't have that guy like get ghosts
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: ballistic because someone got a NASA on the river. It
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: was like they were all human beings, Like you sit
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: there and talk.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: I mean that's more than twenty five bucks an hour.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: That's more than you get paid at the Eagles.
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: So you were doing okay, wow, maybe maybe she and
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: maybe you should be a pro ma sh han't in Miley.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: So other than that, that was about it and Sun.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: So what is it about Naples? Well, okay, I just
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: grew up in Tampa, so you've got to go to
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: the beach and I can't even swim, so needless say,
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: I'm not so you. Yeah, I was that kid and
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: growing up and I always say I can't swim and
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: to go, oh no, and they throw you in the
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: pool because they couldn't believe you you couldn't swim, And
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: then someone had to come in and bring me out,
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: you know, because I'm throwing up water like and they go, oh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: he really can't swim. Let's let's you know, let's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: you know, that's pretty smart. But anyway, we started going
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: because when the kids were growing up, that's when we
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: went to Tahoe. We had a time show Tahoe. We'd
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: go out horseback riding, went down the Trucky River, loved
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: going to Tall because the weather at that time was
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: just absolutely beautiful. So once the kids going on, okay,
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: now just go we can go back to the beach.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: So we drove to Pensacola the first few years because
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: you could make that in one true cat you're on
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: the beach. But then that beach is not that good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: So then we went down to when you said it's
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: not that good. It too crowd, not blue, not blue enough,
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: too far you gonna walk whatever? Okay, And even I
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: could say that, okay, too far from Deston, is it? No,
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: you're right, So then we started going to those other beaches,
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: even though we were at Pencil Cole down twenty miles.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: So then we said we'll just go to Duston. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: we started to stay at Deston and and I like
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: Dustin you ran into a lot of football coaches there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: The summer problem was way too many people. Suddenly, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden, your fight, You're gonna wait two
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: hours to eat supper or whatever.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Beach.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: But yeah about Alabama, Yeah, we stopped there and looked
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: at it. Okay, the best story I ever tell about
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: this the first time I tried to take my wife
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: to the beach. I tried to do two things, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: I found out in Mississippi, you go to Bloxi. Yes,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: there's the beach, you know, and not much of the beach.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: So we go there, we go, we go, we got
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: we go. We go there and check in at the hotel.
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: We go out to the beach. Jessica goes, I want
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: to go home. So I get on the I get
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: on the phone, and I find wherever it was, whether
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: it was Dustin, we found somewhere to go. The next
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: day we're at a real beach. But anyway, so I
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: like Deston fill into Dustin. But once again is I'm
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: not a guy, and on vacation, I don't like to
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: wait in line food. So then one one time, Jessica
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: is very serious about her beach. So we're at Deston
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: and the weather is going to be bad for the
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: whole weekend. Okay, we got a room in Destin, so
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: she find out the weather three hundred miles to south's
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: going to be nice this weekend. So now we also
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: have rooms in Naples. So we drive down to Naples
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: for two days and suddenly there's nobody there. Because you
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: talk to this people whatever, if you go to Wikipedia, whatever. Yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: I think Naples is if let's say it's forty thousand
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: people there whatever it is, or fifty, but on like December,
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: January and February they get increased by like one hundred
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: and twenty thousand. Some people come, all all the snowbirds.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: And when you're out on the beach and you see
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: all those high rises, about three fourths of them are
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: covered with with the with during the summer, right because
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: there's nobody there. Yeah, and you're on on the beach
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: and except for Sundays, a lot of times I would
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: say within one hundred yards there might have been eight
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: of us. That's crazy. Oh yeah, it's great. But you
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: gotta drive extra day.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: To and front.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, because you go to the But to me,
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: that's worth it. But it's worth it when you go
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: into the restaurant, like there's this one place where you
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: go eating subs whatever. You go in there, they almost
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: they talk to you and know it's like, hey, they go.
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: You would't want to be here in December. I go,
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: love they go because the people in the beach. This
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: time it was not warmest has ever been, like ninety
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: seven or there. In June, we had great weather every day.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: It was nice.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: See I'm not a beach person either, but I mean.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: I gotta get away from the Eagle because if I
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: stay here, it's like you gotta work, somebody's gonna do.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: I thought I was gonna be a beach person when
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: I got hired by the Gallstonda News and I was like, Oh,
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: this is gonna be perfect.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be at the beach every day. That's not
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a real beach, no.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: But the first two days I was there, the first
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: two days I was there with the beach. I didn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: go back to the beach in the next three years.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: I was like, no, this is not not my pain.

  Speaker 8: to the All Century All Star Game at Finway Park
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: in Boston. That was the famous game in which Jim
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Gray asked Pete Rose on the field if he'd ever
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: bet on baseball right, and just got excoriated for it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: Wrong place, wrong time. They said right. They had all
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: of these and they had the All Century team there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: Everybody was there that was alive, right. Ted Williams was there.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: He didn't speak to the media, obviously, was in real
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: good shape. You remember Tony Gwynn helping him onto the
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: field of Yes, absolutely, okay. Bob Gibson was there, oh wow,
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: And he was made available to the media, and you
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: would just go around. They were sitting in a big
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: room and they weren't necessarily doing group interviews, although there'd
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: be reporters gathered around Barry Bonds, you know, drew quite
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: a crowd. Of course, he wasn't real great with the media.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: But Bob Gibson was there. Bob Gibson was sitting by himself,
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: and I go, oh man, this is Bob freaking Gibson.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I got to talk team.
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: I was the same way. I tried to ask him
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: a question.
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: I think I did ask him a question, and he
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: was treating me like I was digging in against him
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: at the box, and I just I stayed there about
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: a minute and I just took my little recorder and
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: I walked to go talk to somebody else.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Do you know.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: I got a similar one when I was the early
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Day's Gallison Day News and it was Galliston not at
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: the Astroidome, and they're playing the Astros, are playing the Dodgers,
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: and it's like nineteen ninety and Homer Jacobs, the late
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: great Homer Jacobs, tells me, you might as well try
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: to do a player feature while you're up there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So I do all my homework.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: I called the Astros pr I's like, hey, how do
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: I interview players? You got to get there early batting practice,
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: so playing the Dodgers, and I figured Hey, Kirk Gibson,
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: why not? And so Kirk Gibson, giant of a man too.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: He's in the batting practice and it's early this season.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: He's really struggling. But I walk up to him as
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: he's walking towards the dugout. I said, hey, mister Gibson,
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: that rusty burs from the Galison Delli and lous yet
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: a minute, and he looks down at me and he goes,
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: who the blank are you? And then he starts cursing
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: me loudly on the on the floor of the astrodom,
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: screaming at me, if you want to intervie Kirk Gibson,
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: you better get here blankety blank early.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And I just want to disappear. This is my first
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: game to ever cover in the Astronome, right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: And so I want to this peer and I feel
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: this arm around me and it's a I look to
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: the left and it's a guy.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: In Astro's uniform.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: It is Casey Candell, you too, the player, Yeah, And
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: he's off to a great start and he puts his
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: arm around me, and while Gibson is still walking away,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: he goes, hey, you want to interview a guy who's
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: hitting over three hundred. He want to interview you a
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: guy who's hitting the buck twenty, and Gibson looks around
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: him and he just basically glares at him. I proceed
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: to interview Casey Candell and do the greatest story on
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: Casey Candell.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I'm prety sure in the history of Mason Baseball.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: Many years later, he's a third base coach for the Mariners,
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: and I go up early to the Rangers game, intentionally
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: because I want to call him over. He doesn't remember it,
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: but he goes, I said, I've been telling this story
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: about you for, like, you know, year, since nineteen ninety
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: and so people know what a good guy you are.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: He goes, I don't remember it, but.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate you telling everybody what a good guy him.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I have to go home and tell my wife about that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: I had some of those with the astros, you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: And I had a day Jose Cruz was always great
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: with the media. And I went up and I was
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: in charge of doing the pregame interview, and I went
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: and all the guys knew me, and I went to
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: him and he just kind of turned and walked away,
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: and I went, what the heck is that about.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: And so.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: The next day I see him down there. I go, hey,
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: you know, and I'm young, what you know, what's going on?
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: He goes, well, I heard you you said something about
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: me on the radio, you know. And I said what
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: what was I.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: And I don't remember exactly what it was, and what
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: was it I was supposed to have said about you?
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: And he said, oh, that I'm you know, an average
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: player something it was. It was just stupid.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: And I said, first of all, I didn't say it,
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: you know, I didn't say that whatever it was. He
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: thought that someone told him I had said I didn't say, which.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: Happens a lot in this business. Oh yeah, And he said,
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: you know, you're a You've always been a good guy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: I'm glad to hear that. And then there was never
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: any issues again. It's just it's just like the craziest
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: stupidest thing before. Yeah, and I've got one bore. I
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: asked you if y'all were in off somebody. Well, probably
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: the most nervous I've ever been was talking to Brian
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: Wilson of the Beach Boys. It was my telephone, it
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: wasn't in person. You know. It's when they had that
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: movie out that he had been involved with. It ended
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: up being almost a documentary right telling their story, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: so they made him available to publicize this. And of
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: course Brian Wilson wasn't great any time. He was unstable
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: a lot of the time. His wife was there kind
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: of as a helper. And it's weird on the on
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: the telephone to begin with, having to try to include
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: write two people in an interview. Oh yeah, and about
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: halfway and actually he was pretty good. At about halfway through.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: I said, look, I've already asked her a couple of
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: questions to try to keep her involved. This is Brian
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: freaking Wilson, and I'm going to talk to him, which
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: you know, and you're limited in how you know, how
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: much time do you have and how many questions you asked?
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: And the interview turned out I think pretty good. It's
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: I think it's still on our website. But I was
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: a little nervous talking to for a couple of reasons.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: He's a legend, he's a genius, and I knew that
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: he wasn't exactly.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: It wasn't that he was difficult with the media.
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: He was difficult with everybody and just had a hard
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: time expressing himself.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: So one of the most interesting interviews I ever had
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: was with Tom Chandler after he's really really sick and
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: he couldn't really speak anymore. But his wife, I want
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: to say her was wi Wilma, maybe Wilma. She could
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: basically interpret his what he was trying to but he
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: was always and I couldn't really understand what he was
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: saying at all. But it was just one of those
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: really interesting interviews that you could tell that she knew
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: his thoughts. Yeah, because they'd spent fifty some odd years together,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: we can tell about the way he'd.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: Moved his head in his interest.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: It was just like and she would answer for him
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: and she's like, is that about right, Tom?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he would like not said you know, it

  Speaker 8: It not at all good for you and of the
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: press comp coming from that's what I missed you last
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: week at the Elko presser. I was a doctor's appointment.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Oh okay, that was every day. Yeah yeah, So you
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: know it's just one of those things. It's like somebody
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: goes I haven't seen you at practice, and I go,
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: why you know, thank you? You got those first three sessions.
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: It's one hundred and eight and yourn and eight. You
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: can't write anything anyway. And I'm a writer, I'm not
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: a I'm not a coach. I can't tell if the
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: guy's getting off of those right foot or his left foot.
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: And uh, everybody looks good. I always have to laugh.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: You throw the tape in for any team, it's we
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: talk about like the NFL exhibition games.
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: Practice If you're covering, practice is a lot like that,
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: because you it's really hard. The only thing I ever thought,
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: cease is maybe you could get a feel of the
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: athleticism of the team right.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Houses, down and out, how sharp this guy throw the ball?
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: How to God make if you're missing said practice, you
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: have a problem, right Yeah, I don't.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Think you can. I mean it's so as I watched
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: spring practices and spring.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Games for so many years when I was over there
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: and I had access that other riders didn't, and because
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: we're pr and just after a while, I was like,
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: I don't want I'm not going to go over there.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: And of course, because I get a good feel about
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: how great the offense is and the reality is A
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: and M's defense stinks and you know that they're going
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: against is nothing, or you know.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: The quarterback looks good when he's throwing against.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: Air, but there's no pressure on him, and you don't
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: see that a lot because the quarterback know they're not
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: going to get hit.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: The prices.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I just think it's kind of worthless.
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: The last time that I decided, when I remember all
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: was and I'll put the whole group of media when
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: we watched all Mike Sherman. He had, you know, full access.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: You watch the whole practice, which means we all had
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: to go watch practice. And then of course you know
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: that's agony in itself watching the whole practice. But we
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: all thought, man, this team is really going to be
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: good because McGee was going up and down the field
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: against these guys and oh man, this is gonna be great.
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: And that didn't turn out there. Well, like, okay, forget
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: about practice. You can't judge. Hard to tell practice hard
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: to tell. And nowadays if you take the Indiana approach,
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: and who wants to get hurt in practice? I see,
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: like Tennessee's lost to two defensive starters. You don't want
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: to get your players hurt. So you want to have
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: these scrimmages, and I get it, you want this physicality,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: but the last thing you want to do is be
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: losing a player. So much different now that it used
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: to be, right, because you read all the old time
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: stories and quote the old time coaches. They would just
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: beat the hell out of their teams, right yep. And
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: you remember Jackie did that. He had three days and
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: I was just talking to and he also lost a
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: game earlier. I was just I was just.
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: Talking to a former player this last week, and he said,
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: Jackie has apologized several times. He said, I lost you
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: three games that year because their legs were so dead
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: because he was doing three day practices when it was
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: one hundred and five.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: But he learned at the foot of Bear Bryan. He
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: would learned from Bear right.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: RC did the same thing. After they went up to
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: lost to BYU.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: They had three weeks off, oh yeah, and they went
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: into huge practices overload.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Their next game was at Lafayette, Louisiana.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: How did that work up?
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Not very well?
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: Well, it was about eight turnovers.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: If I recall that Brandon Stewart played a really good
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: game because BYU played the worst game.
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: Quarterback carried the goal post downtown.
• 38:54
  Speaker 15: That goal post they put it on the media. Guys,
• 38:59
  Speaker 15: that's when you know you a bad game. Yeah yeah,
• 39:01
  Speaker 15: but everybody adjusts and I get it. And now you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: it's so much about weight training. They're in there, you know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 15: it's what's your body fat?
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: What are you eating?
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, what they do and how they know
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: everything that these guys, how fast they're running, how much
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: they're sweating during a practice, how much they've replaced, how
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: many pounds did you lose today?
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: What did you all? The monsters they have everything.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: Incredible, They know everything about these guys.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: It is amazing.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: But you can't still measure somebody's heart. You can't measure that,
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: And you can't measure who is you mentioned that under pressure?
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: Who make that catch? Under who's got to make plays?
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: Forget about how you look in the first ten minutes
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: of practice, the game on the line, in the last
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: four minutes, what do you.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: And that's what I go back to.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: Last Year's asked me, Hey, how excited are you about
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: A and M football? And I'm like, well, I think
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: that the quarterback kind of got exposed in the last
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: two games, and so I'm a little worried about if
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: he was really having trouble throwing on the run and
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: throwing in the pocket with that offensive line, experienced offensive
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: line last year, what's it going to be like this year?
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, and you know, I've asked some former players.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: It's like, hey, is this is he capable of making
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: the progress?
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: And I don't know. The responsibility kind of mixed, like
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean at this point, is is
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: he who he is? Or how's the play calling going
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: to be different? I think that could be.
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: Really because you have new nuke play.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I wasn't a big fan of Colin Klein and the
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: way he called plays, So I'm of all.
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: The things so far that I've heard Elko talk about.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: And I agreed one hundred percent when he said, you know,
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: until his coordinators make the plays with the lights on,
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: or you know, at eleven o'clock in the morning, you
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: don't know what they can do because they're going to
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: look good in these practices. And it's so true, and
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: it's like getting back what you said, I don't know
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: how good Wigings is going to be calling plays, but
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: you're right, obviously, going on the stretch. Klein did not
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: call good games against Texas in Miami.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: I guess what I've heard from all his preseason practices
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: is how good Antosaka is.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: And so he's one of the freaks that Bruce Feldman less,
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: you know, the top thirty freaks in college football.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: You know how the Rangers had the boomstick after cruise.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: I think that should be as like a sushi role.
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: I think they should name something. Yeah, yeah, I think
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: he needs to make a place. Let's do something first.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: That should be ill money, you know.
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: I think they should wait. You could be his agent.
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: It's like put a statue up of a player, like
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: the year after he graduated. I think you always should
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: wait a little bit. Yeah, yeah, don't you.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: He might embarrass you a little bit.
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying.
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: Yeah, just be out of way the stadium before yeah,
• 41:45
  Speaker 16: before you know, before we're you know, that's what That's
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: what preseason all American teams at BABO.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: That that was.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: Stem in December, right Yeah, No, No, it wasn't Playboy,
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: Oh no, not a Bob Hope. It was it was
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: somebody spots.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: I just loved how he described all these guys you know.
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, somebody wrote great joke. Don't you think
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: somebody you know that was so well watched somebody, Oh
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: my gosh, somebody doesn't come up and do it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 9: You know what, I couldn't wait for every summer and
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: I just looked forward to it all summer long. Besides
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: Texas Football magazine, I looked forward to the College All
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: Stars against that previous NFL championship.
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: I loved that day.
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: It was always played Chicago, Yes it was. I just
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: I just thought that was the greatest thing in the world.
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: Now looking back on I was young. Then looking back
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: on it, it's just kind of the same thing. The
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: quality probably was terrible.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: Man. You know, speaking of Texas football, the highlight of
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: my life at that point in time was when I
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: was in high school and got my name and ave
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Campbell's text.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, it's still a ritual. No,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: It still is. That still meets. That's still a big deal.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: And I like coach a lot about my forty times.
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: Were you bigger and faster in Texas football than you
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: really were?
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: Oh much much faster, And a lot of coaches do
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: that on purposely, much like my mom goes, you're really
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: that fast?
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: No, that's how fast you when I got the magazine,
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: No one has to know.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: No scouting wise, you know good look good.
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: It's like so basketball coaches either a intentionally put their
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: players larger than what they were, or most of the
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: time when they're filling and out, if a guy was
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: six five, you'd call him six to two, right, same thing,
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: same principal. But I like, now, I don't think that
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: means anything, means any different. High school coaches today do
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: not put down hydes and your players because they would
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: don't want the other team to know. And I'm thinking,
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: like today, the tape you have, you know, they've always
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: they've always been paranoise. I know, and I go the
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: tape today. You can see how tall that guy is.
• 44:09

• 48:11
  Speaker 9: And this show is brought to you by Intech and
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: First Financial Bank. We were talking about, you know, Texas
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: football was always the start, right, I mean, it was
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: the bible. It was the start of the season when
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: everything broke apart, I'll be honest with you, and they
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: quit sending me free magazines. I haven't seen Texas football
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: in a little while, and I'm not detigrating them. They
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: still cover all the high schools, they still cover all
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: the colleges, but they have to cover like four different
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: conferences now.
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: Used to it's just the Southwest Conference.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: There's so many outlets now too. We didn't have the
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: social media. We didn't have anything.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: So that was like the start of You didn't have
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: college football show every day on ESPN either.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: No, you didn't have that.
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: You didn't have textact, you didn't have all those venues.
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: So Texas football and that was even before Athlons was big.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: And so to me, Texas football was just like okay now,
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: and I would read that thing from cover me too.
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: I would read every me too.
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: I remember when there was a kid from Halsham High
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: and where I went to eventually went to high school.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: He played at Rice, and I was like, it was
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: so cool I got to see Tim Sanders in the
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Rice uniform.
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: In Texas, you couldn't wait for the cover right to
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: see who is on the cover. Well, what's amazing was
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: I'll speak as a media person, you wanted to get
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: that magazine and read as much as you could because
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: you didn't go out to restaurant and they go, hey, sister,
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: did you read what they said about so and so?
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: And you you didn't want to say no, because everybody
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: reads Texas football, so you wanted to be up what
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: was said in Texas football because that was gospel for
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: a lot of people forty fifty years ago. So Dave,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: Dave Campbell uh did uh?
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: Sometimes did color comp Terry on Temple High School football? Okay,
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: So when Brian and Temple are playing, I'm back doing
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: the play by play.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: This had to be in the nineteen eighties.
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: And I get there and I'm I'm I'm looking on
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: the field, I'm going over all the players and I'm
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: talking to Dave, and he goes, oh, no, all those
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: numbers are wrong.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: Those are all practice jerseys. He goes, those numbers aren't right.
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: And I'm panicking because I mean, I've memorized the quarterback,
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: you know, and and all of that, and I'm just
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: and he must have seen the look on my face
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: because I'm in a panic. He goes, I'm just, I'm
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: just with you.
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: That's good. That's good. That's good, that's good. I love Dave.
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: Dave was a great guy, was.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: An amazing guy.
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: But some of the I mean, he never evolved in
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: terms of the game stories. So the game stories were
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: always like the longest.
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: Jump them twice on one page to another page, another page.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: To another page.
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: It was awesome.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: It was well, you didn't you didn't have to go
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: to the game to actually feel like you had been
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: at the game because every play was analyzed by Dave Campbell,
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: right true, very true.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but like that was he was.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: He was a godfather of football.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:15
  Speaker 13: No.
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: Another big moment in my career was Dave Campbell's fortieth anniversary.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: They came out with Special magazine and I got to
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: write like a where are they now? On every guy
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: that had featured for forty years cool in high school.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: So I got my pick, and literally I spent all
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: summer long like doing all these kind of flashbacks on
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: high school guys. And it was so fun to catch
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: up with so many different guys from so many different schools.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved that.
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: Best high school player you ever saw play personally saw
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: personally saw oh.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Man come back to me.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: So I will say that as a youngster, I got
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: to see Uh Frasier at Arlington Heights High School, Thomas
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: Frasier Allison incredible. I got to see Walter Abercrombie in
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: Waco when he was I want.
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: To say I saw him too. I was gonna think
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: it was was that Midway or Univers I think he
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: was with He wasn't with Midway.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: So Man personally covered though. Boy, that's a tough one.
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: I don't know, it's just so many and I haven't
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: really thought about that chip That's that's actually a good question. Uh,
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: you know, for me, it was Eric Dickerson.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: You saw him play.
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: I saw him. I called every game I saw playing,
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: sixteen games, sawmone all Star. Didn't see him in the season.
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: So I took uh the guy who was my college roommate.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: I said, you need to come watch this guy playing.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: And we went to see Lee h for a game.
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: And I talked to every college coach in America that
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: year because they were all recruiting Eric Dickerson.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I covered Patrick, Bates and Galveston.
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: He was Yeah, he was pretty and it's all is
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: that Michael who?
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Which?
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: Who's the big Adman Adams from the Si Creeks played
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: in the pros.
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: Uh? He got worse every year his his freshman year was.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: And and he was one of the He was one
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: of the best high school players I ever saw. Whose
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: God believe Ty Warren was one of the best.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: Went with Kanig's daddy, Yes, exactly. What is Adam's first name?
• 53:31
  Speaker 14: Uh?
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: But but Dickerson, I think to me was I never
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: saw Earl Campbell play in high school and I just
• 53:37
  Speaker 8: saw the film. But I saw Eric Dickerson all fifteen
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: of his games when they were fifteen, and I won
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: the state champions Sam Adams forget that. Yeah, yeah.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: At Dickinson High School.
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: Okay, he was really good, yeah, really good.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, he can he can swing it, but they didn't
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: throw it like he did.
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: It right, right, I mean, he can just.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Tell he's just a great athlete. But Tommy Frazer.
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: Running an option, I would have loved to have seen that.
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Dickerson was done by most halftimes. I mean, he rarely
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: played in the second half of most of their games.
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: He played the state championship game against Rockwall every down.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: I believe he scored five touchdowns, including the most unbelievable
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: run on a swing pass. Would I say every defensive
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: player touched him on the field. I mean every defensive
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: player touched him. But he was six three and two
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: hundred pounds. He was always the biggest player, you know,
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: for at the time a three eight team, right, or
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: maybe even two.
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: As Homer used to tell me the story, it's not football.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: But so we would cover all Galaston County schools. And
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: so he was covering Hitchcock High School in the playoffs
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: and their tallest player was like maybe five to eleven.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: And so again three A high school basketball playoffs and
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: they match up against San Antonio Cole and they had
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: a guy named.
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: He said it was man against against Hernet State. That's
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: a whole nother discussion. All right, guys, we've killed an
• 55:12
