• 9:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah, you want to do the tour of SEC stadiums.

• 9:40
  Speaker 1: list of places I'd, you know, like, great to go.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Alabama was just not.
• 9:47
  Speaker 14: Well, I think you're not necessarily looking at the culture
• 9:51
  Speaker 14: of the town. For me, looking at that, it is
• 9:53
  Speaker 14: really the history of the program in the stadium.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Just saying you were there yeah just saying.
• 9:58
  Speaker 14: I've been to brian yeah yeah that sort of thing
• 10:01

• 10:05
  Speaker 14: no experience with it whatsoever but you know you wouldn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: think you wouldn't think there was fun stuff to do
• 10:10
  Speaker 14: in fayetteville fayetteville's a great college fayetteville yeah top five

• 10:18
  Speaker 14: Daughter flying back in last night. She was flying to Houston, right?
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: Of course, Ole Miss playing in Austin. But she said
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: there were a ton of Ole Miss students and people
• 10:27
  Speaker 14: in Ole Miss gear on that plane to Houston. So,
• 10:29
  Speaker 14: I guess they were flying to Houston, catching another flight
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: to Austin or whatever for the weekend festivities over there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They're ready. They're coming. Is she going to the game?
• 10:37
  Speaker 14: She's not going to the game.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: She's in a wedding tomorrow.
• 10:40
  Speaker 14: So, that's the reason she's flying back to town.
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A wedding tomorrow?
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Is it a day of significance to the couple?
• 10:52
  Speaker 14: No day of significance, and there is, at least that
• 10:57
  Speaker 14: I can tell, there was no rush to schedule the wedding.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: They're doing it at a private location, so it was
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: not something that we had to schedule stuff, but hey.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That's anybody. If you're scheduling... Had the schedule dropped when
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they sent the save the dates? Is it like a...
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, there are reasons why you might
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just have to put it there. But like, were any
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of those in play? Or did they just say, we're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: going to make a date in the fall and hope
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for the best? It's where the bride wants it. Where
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the bride wants it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Which is great. It's the bride.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. It's the bride of football. I don't know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Is there a soon-to-be husband? I don't know. Really? Yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Have they lived here long? Yes. Like five years? Like
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: raised here. Raised here?
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Raised here? Mm-hmm. I'm sorry, Will. I'm just going through
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: my head. I'm trying to think of every reason why
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you would possibly do that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: To some people, football is not as important.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And I get it, man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 14: I mean, a wedding is seriously, in my mind, should
• 12:03
  Speaker 14: be more important than a football Saturday.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: In theory, in theory, in theory. So I absolutely get that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 14: But, but I have encouraged anybody who I have influence
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: over who may be, you know, in that marriage window,
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: not to schedule during football season.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I do. I will give you, I do know. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: think I've had conversations with a few people that said
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that when they get married, they intend to do it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: on purpose. Like almost just like out of spite, like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to find the most likely game day Saturday
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and then put it right on the middle because I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: want to make a point, the point that you made.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: It's my wedding and it's more important than the game.
• 12:45
  Speaker 14: For whatever the reasons. I mean, it is what it is, right?
• 12:48
  Speaker 14: So I'm going to be there too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 18: That said, that said, yeah, I just, I feel like
• 12:56
  Speaker 18: feel like that's been that was known when i was
• 12:58
  Speaker 18: a kid well when we were in the to be
• 13:01
  Speaker 18: fair the southwest conference i.
• 13:03
  Speaker 14: I'm not really the guy that loves going to weddings
• 13:05
  Speaker 14: anyway you know so doesn't matter the date so chances
• 13:09
  Speaker 14: are i'm going to be grumpy regardless.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But i have to revisit this coming up later i
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: just like like it seems you can get a you
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: can get a ping to your phone when the schedule
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: drops and you can just Say, you know, okay, add
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: these to the group. Well, I don't know.
• 13:26
  Speaker 14: There could be some other extenuating circumstances that I'm not
• 13:28
  Speaker 14: aware of.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely. But also, I mean, the game here, that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss-Texas game too, man. Big time. That's not a slouch.

• 19:02
  Speaker 1: energy from the show. Reasons to celebrate today. And let's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: go through a few of the days of distinction before
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we get into birthdays. Biggest one's Croc Day. Croc Day.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. Famously divisive and famously comfortable. Launched
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in 2002. Originally marketed as boating shoes. And we have all,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: because time is a flat circle, we're still having the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: argument of whether or not they qualify as shoes. Or slippers.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Or slippers. Or whether or not you can wear them
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: over the age of 12. They are my favorite. If
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you see me on the weekend, you see me in Crocs.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You see me during the week. I go places. I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: wear grown up shoes. You see me in the weekend.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing Crocs. I've never I've never found.
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: Any that were really super comfortable for me really I've
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: tried a few I've got a pair now that's the
• 19:57
  Speaker 14: only pair that I own that actually really don't look
• 19:59
  Speaker 14: like Crocs but I liked them, but they were just
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: the fit. I'm in between sizes.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: They've got phantom Crocs now, which, like you mentioned, they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: don't look like Crocs. Yeah, they they they feel similar.
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: But again, all of them got 26 holes, though.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: All of them. Do you use gibbets on your Crocs?
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: I do not. But, you know, they bought the gibbets company.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: They certainly did. They bought it. I think it's if you're.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Gibbets are important to me because, like, if you're wearing Crocs,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in half measures. I think you just
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: need to be as, like, they do look ridiculous. We
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: all know they look ridiculous. But, like, at some level, like,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you prioritize comfort in your life. So just make it
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: look as ridiculous as possible. My favorite pair are a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: pair of South Park Crocs that I have. All of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the gibbets are South Park characters. Some that you, yeah, look, guys, just, again,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that one of the most popular
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: shoes in America is one of the most ugly ones,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and we just don't care.
• 21:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and that proves, for the most part, that there
• 21:04
  Speaker 14: are people out there that like function over form because
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: they are very, very functional.
• 21:10
  Speaker 24: Oh, yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 14: I mean, they sold out a couple hundred pairs that
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: they brought to that boat show. so many years ago
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: when they debuted them. And that was it, man.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And people started, if you remember this back in the day,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they started buying them in places where you wouldn't expect them.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Restaurant workers loved them. They do. People in the back
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: of the house. The medical professional sector, they were blown away.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Hospitals didn't understand what was happening because every, every nurse, doctor, surgeon, assistant, whatever,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they were all, if you wore scrubs... You wore Crocs
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: with your scrubs. Who would have ever thought? The Crocs
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: people were like, really? They started making them in scrub
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: colors specifically because they were selling so many.
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: Who would have ever thought in the history of fashion
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: in our country that scrubs and Crocs would be considered fashion?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Scrubs and Crocs will, if I were president and had
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to come up with a uniform for life, it would
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: be scrubs and Crocs. specifically because there is no more
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: comfortable work attired in Scrubs and Crocs.
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: It's an interesting thought experiment, thinking about you as president,
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: by the way.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: No, you don't want to go too far down that road.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Horror Movie Day, a celebration of films that have terrified
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: audiences for more than a century. People will again continually
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: debate what is the scariest movie of all time and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: why it's The Exorcist. It still holds up today. Blair
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Witch Project, also a close. Pretty solid, yeah. That holds
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: up better than it should, but nothing holds a candle
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to The Shining in terms of quality. I think so.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, classic. iPod Day. This was the day where
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: music was revolutionized by Steve Jobs dropping a device that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: could carry 1,000 songs in your pocket. The original one
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: cost around $ 400. And people were like, whoo! $ 400, Steve!
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: I remember thinking about that. Maybe I'll get the knockoff version.
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: Whoo!
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: A little pricey. Pretty proud of that little iPod, as
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: we all pay $ 2, 000 for an iPhone. Yeah, did change
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the world. It absolutely changed the world. TV talk show
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: host day celebrated on October 23rd in honor of the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: legendary television host, Johnny Carson. I don't think anybody ever
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: did it better. No one did. No one came close. Obviously,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: 30 years on The Tonight Show running from 1962 until 1992.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And at no point during that did anyone ever challenge
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: him for, I mean, 100 million people watching. That was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: like a Tuesday for Johnny. It's just it was a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: different universe back then. Also, slap your irritating coworker today.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Which is still a crime. It's called assault. Yeah, don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: make that mistake.
• 23:49
  Speaker 14: You cannot say, officer, it is International Slap Your Annoying
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: Coworker Day. That is not an out.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: It will not keep you out of jail, and it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: will not save your career.
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: No, definitely CLM, career limiting move.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: With that said, let's talk birds.
• 24:05
  Speaker 14: Let's talk birthdays, shall we? Ireland Baldwin is 31 years
• 24:09
  Speaker 14: old today. Daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Is that the one he screamed at famously?
• 24:14
  Speaker 14: That's the one that Alec once called a rude.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Thoughtless little pig. Rude, thoughtless little pig.
• 24:19
  Speaker 14: That is, I guess, a parenting technique?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The one that I would pick? I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: bet you Alec Baldwin is a dad.
• 24:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and Kim is a mom. I mean, she's... Just
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: the genetics of that.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: The genetics and the wild ride you would have experienced
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: from zero to 18 years. Absolutely.
• 24:40
  Speaker 22: It's something.
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: It results in being called a thoughtless little pig by
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: your loving father. Emilia Clarke is 40. She's Daenerys Targan
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: on the Game of Thrones.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Khaleesi, the mother of dragons. That's right.
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: Mycella Lucia is 41. I'm shocked that you just don't
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: know her by name. She was Gemini in the last
• 24:59
  Speaker 14: three Sharknado movies.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 25:04
  Speaker 14: Admittedly, I've only seen Sharknado 1.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Same. I didn't really go down that route. There's eight more.
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: And honestly, I think there's eight total.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: But I didn't mind it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: I thought it was kind of cute.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It was fun. At first, I just didn't see the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: need to keep revisiting it. No, but once I, you know.
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: Apparently somebody's still making money off of it, I guess.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Good for them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: Ryan Reynolds is 50 today. His movie was a little
• 25:27
  Speaker 14: more popular than Sharknado. At least some of them are.
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: Most of them are.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Deadpool, of course.
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: Many others.

• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Al Yankovic is 67. He's still out on the road,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, and honestly, I kind of thought
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: he was older than that. You know, there's not ever
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: going to be another Weird Al because that was a time, again,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that if you wanted to hear a funny song, you
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: had to buy an album from a comedian. And then
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you could let now everyone.
• 25:54

• 26:46
  Speaker 1: great golfer, but just a funny guy. Yeah. Yeah. Uh,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Pele was born on the state of 1940.
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: Me growing up. That was the soccer.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Guy still is kind of, yeah. I mean, there's people
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that kind of.
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: No, there's still, there's people now that you can argue
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: whether or not are the greatest, but Pele was at
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: one point in time and probably.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: There's a very few, there's a very limited amount of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the guys that can use the one name.
• 27:08
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And so it's, you know, I mean, once you get
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to one-name status, it's like you could argue that pretty close.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Pretty close. But, like, again, Pele is always going to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: be Pele. That's not going to change. But, man, that's, yeah.
• 27:25
  Speaker 14: He was an icon, for sure. Michael Crichton was born

• 27:59
  Speaker 14: it does now without John Heisman. I don't, I don't
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: know if you know all of this. He invented this
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: thing called the handoff. I did not know this, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 14: flea flicker and the center snap. Before that, the center
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: would roll the ball to the quarterback.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: We didn't think we didn't think that he, you know,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it always takes someone to just make the obvious. Like,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: what if I just, I don't know. It's a lot
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: more kind of rugby. Yeah. Rolling the ball back there.
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: So, but Hey, Hey, Again, the game would not look
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: like the game without John Heisman.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: He has the world's most famous trophy as a thank you.
• 28:36

• 28:42

• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a good point. But, I mean, yeah.

• 28:49

• 40:06
  Speaker 1: so I'm guessing this is.
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I tried to send you something yesterday, and then
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: this morning, I figured you would have commented on it,
• 40:14
  Speaker 14: and you didn't comment, so I figured you didn't get it.

  Speaker 14: But this morning, I decided to send it to you

  Speaker 14: via email.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: So this is just MP3. I'm just going to... Yeah.
• 40:23

  Speaker 14: Well, I mean, it's relating to some things that we've
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: done on the show this week.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. All right. Let's check this out.
• 40:31
  Speaker 39: One, two, three, four.
• 40:32
  Speaker 17: Wow. Okay. Yeah.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Let's start now.
• 40:37
  Speaker 14: I figured we would, maybe it's time for a little rebranding, Tucker.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. The sun is rising in the sky again. Wow.
• 40:46

• 41:02
  Speaker 1: They're going to fly way up high.
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: We're going to fly high, brother. Best show under the sky. Hey,
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: I mean, I feel happier.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: This is really strong. I can't help from smiling.
• 41:30
  Speaker 14: You know, it just makes me happy. I, I, I,
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: I don't know what to say.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: That is, that is a, that is exceptionally good. That
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: is exceptionally. If pie was just more masculine at all.
• 41:47
  Speaker 14: I just can't, I can't call myself pie.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Corn chips are very masculine. Will look. Okay. It's an acquired.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: It's an acquired thing. I, my name is Tucker young.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I had to work for years to get used to
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: adding the Frito because you become a grown man named Frito.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: There is a weird level to it. It's not Frita.
• 42:11
  Speaker 14: It's Frito.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: So it would be Will Pie Welch, which it doesn't
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: necessarily roll off. It doesn't.
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: Like I said yesterday, I have to be named Buttermilk
• 42:23
  Speaker 14: or something like that or Huckleberry.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: You could call yourself The Pie, kind of like The Rock,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Will Pie. The pie. I mean, from a physiological standpoint,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that fits. The upside is being able to use this
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: as our official show jingle. I mean, it hits. It hits.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Best show under the sky. Best show under the sky.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is.
• 42:47
  Speaker 40: The best show under the sky?
• 42:49
  Speaker 38: It sells itself.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say.
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't so good.
• 42:57
  Speaker 41: I know.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: It's like, I really like this. Hey, funny. Guys, it's
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: hard to walk away from Frito and pie. The best
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: show under the sky. I mean, that's tough. It's tough. Something.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: How are you at top golf?
• 43:13
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'm, I don't really go to Topgolf and
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: try to set the score stuff. I mean, I'll do
• 43:20
  Speaker 14: that sometimes to play around. Topgolf to me is a
• 43:24
  Speaker 14: very entertaining thing that is not golf.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: It is golf adjacent. Golf adjacent.
• 43:28
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: And yeah, I mean, you, you put me in a
• 43:30
  Speaker 14: place with some friends, some golf clubs, some balls and
• 43:33
  Speaker 14: some cocktails, and it's hard not to have a good time.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Like it's, it's meant to be, it's not
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: a thing. It can be something for a serious golfer
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: if you want to go out and work on your irons.
• 43:44
  Speaker 14: Well, if you want to do that, a serious golfer
• 43:46
  Speaker 14: is probably going to a typical range.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's nothing stopping you. But yeah, this is
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: golf for people that don't necessarily play golf, which is
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: what surprised me when now they're having to pay out
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a multimillion-dollar settlement from someone who sued them over an
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: injury they sustained while at Topgolf. that involved a club here.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Check it out.
• 44:10
  Speaker 28: He was brand new. He had never been to Topgolf
• 44:13
  Speaker 28: before and he swung hard and his grip wasn't tight
• 44:17
  Speaker 28: and it released and struck her in the back of
• 44:20
  Speaker 28: the head. My client suffered a traumatic brain injury. This
• 44:25
  Speaker 28: is an organization who has chosen money over safety of
• 44:30
  Speaker 28: people who are just there to have fun, to celebrate,
• 44:35
  Speaker 28: and they're destroying their lives.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: What am I missing here?
• 44:40
  Speaker 14: Well, what you're missing here is that this is not
• 44:43
  Speaker 14: the first time this sort of thing has happened.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm certain it happens every week.
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: I think in this story that I read, there was
• 44:50
  Speaker 14: 29 cases that they brought up. I don't know what
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: the time frame was.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: It just reminds me of, like, when you go to
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: see a baseball game, and I'll make it specifically a
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: minor league baseball game. And you're having a good time,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: and then you hear the bat make contact, and you
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: have that moment where you go look for the ball
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: because you know there's a chance. And you hope you
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: don't hear a sickening thud. Yeah, I've always looked at
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: it like if I'm looking around for the ball, I'm
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: probably in the best-case scenario because it's the ones that
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: get you that you never see coming. You just wake
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: up in the hospital. But you have to assume, right?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: that you need to keep your head on a swivel. Well,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: for a long time.
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: For a long time, it was under acceptable risk, especially
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: in baseball, right? But we had instances of injuries, horrific injuries,
• 45:44
  Speaker 14: where that changed. That's right. I mean, you go to
• 45:47
  Speaker 14: Travis Field now, they've got extended nets in every place
• 45:50
  Speaker 14: you go.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You have to take it seriously.
• 45:52
  Speaker 14: There's that sort of safety in place now. Topgolf, they
• 45:57
  Speaker 14: are contending that Topgolf did not put any of those
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: safety measures in place despite the number of injuries that
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: have occurred. And so that's where they're throwing the lawsuit
• 46:08
  Speaker 14: at it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: Which is unfortunate because we all know that safety sometimes
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: ruins fun.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Well, at the golf course, I would say it always
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: ruins fun. I guarantee you there are just as many people,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: if not more, who have befallen some injury related to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: playing actual golf on an actual golf course. And someone
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: just either not knowing what they were doing. I mean, Hey,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: sometimes your club lets go. Sometimes the club goes where
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the club wants to go. It's I mean, it's, it's rare,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: but your head on the golf.
• 46:43
  Speaker 14: Ball, for God's sakes, the fact that a golf ball
• 46:45
  Speaker 14: hasn't killed more people.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Do we not have that story? I mean, it's definitely
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: slaughtered a lot of windows for people that live on
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: a golf course. And people get hit. I mean, it happens.
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: I mean, that's a very hard, very fast missile.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and definitely, if it hits you, you're going to know.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: For sure. You're going to feel it. Again, just a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: friendly reminder to, again, if you're in any environment where
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: people are doing athletic things... Just don't get paranoid, though.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Don't walk out of the house in a helmet and
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: bubble wrap, please. Right?
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: Just take it easy, all right? Be aware of your surroundings.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: We're back after this.
• 47:30
  Speaker 42: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 47:32
  Speaker 42: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
• 47:35
  Speaker 42: sponsor and friends at Producers.
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of.
• 47:44
  Speaker 20: Bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers Cooperative
• 47:48
  Speaker 20: between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed and

  Speaker 20: minerals now and pick.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Up or take delivery as you need them.
• 47:57
  Speaker 20: Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th at Producers Cooperative.
• 48:02
  Speaker 20: Everything nutrition since 1943.
• 48:07
  Speaker 42: As flashy as flowers are, there are some absolutely glorious
• 48:10
  Speaker 42: plants that never produce even one showy blossom. We grow
• 48:14
  Speaker 42: them for their incredible leaves. In fact, there are gardeners
• 48:17
  Speaker 42: among us who use absolutely no flowers at all. They
• 48:20
  Speaker 42: rely totally on the subtle beauty these handsome foliage plants
• 48:23
  Speaker 42: bring to their surroundings. In recognition of the great contributions
• 48:27
  Speaker 42: of fine landscapes, we're going to devote a couple of
• 48:29
  Speaker 42: minutes of tribute to heroic plants of all seasons, spectacular foliage.
• 48:34

• 49:37
  Speaker 42: Let's start our talk today with plants with colorful foliage
• 49:40
  Speaker 42: all season long. These plants fall into several different categories.
• 49:43
  Speaker 42: Some are woody plants. Others are annuals or perennials. Some
• 49:46
  Speaker 42: have variegated leaves marked with stripes and streaks and speckles.
• 49:51
  Speaker 42: Speaking to the variegated plants, some have red or pink variegation. Most, however,
• 49:55
  Speaker 42: are modeled with either yellow or white markings. Common examples,
• 49:59
  Speaker 42: gold dust acuba, variegated privet, variegated liriope, zebra grass, and caladiums.
• 50:06
  Speaker 42: Variegated plants are visually very striking. However, they can also
• 50:10
  Speaker 42: be overpowering. That's especially true of the white and yellow
• 50:13
  Speaker 42: variegated forms, so use them in moderation and position them
• 50:16
  Speaker 42: against the dark green evergreen backdrops. Remember also that iron
• 50:21
  Speaker 42: deficiency leaves its victim plants looking about the same way.
• 50:25
  Speaker 42: You may end up creating a perfectly healthy bed of
• 50:27
  Speaker 42: plants that look like they're about to starve to death.
• 50:30
  Speaker 42: Be very careful in using brightly variegated yellow and white plants.
• 50:35
  Speaker 42: Other plants have leaves that are a variation of green.
• 50:38
  Speaker 42: They're not two-toned, but they're also not normal green. Texas sage, artemisias,
• 50:43
  Speaker 42: purple plums, forest pansy redbuds. Some of the Japanese maples
• 50:47
  Speaker 42: and red leaf barberries all fit into the category. Again,
• 50:51
  Speaker 42: these plants are handsome, but they can also be overpowering
• 50:54
  Speaker 42: if used in excess. Use them with taste and moderation.
• 50:58
  Speaker 42: Also as a precaution with gray leaf plants, move carefully
• 51:02
  Speaker 42: their They look wonderful in the garden center, but they
• 51:04
  Speaker 42: can make a garden seem very cold and unfriendly. Use
• 51:07
  Speaker 42: them as dramatic accents, not as the entire landscape. Then
• 51:12
  Speaker 42: you have plants with seasonally colorful foliage. This primarily addresses
• 51:16
  Speaker 42: fall foliage color. Some of the trees and shrubs turn red,
• 51:19
  Speaker 42: like shumard red oak, Japanese maples, crepe myrtles, Chinese pistachios,
• 51:23
  Speaker 42: sweet gums, and dogwoods. Others turn brilliant yellows, like ginkgos, pomegranate, ash,
• 51:28
  Speaker 42: and many maples. These plants are always in keeping anywhere
• 51:32
  Speaker 42: in your garden and they can be beautiful. Other plants
• 51:34
  Speaker 42: develop their prime seasonal color over the winter, like purple
• 51:37
  Speaker 42: wintercreeper euonymus. Then you have plants that have coarse textured
• 51:41
  Speaker 42: leaves and fine textured leaves. You can develop an entire
• 51:45
  Speaker 42: landscape just using the texture of the leaves. Leaves are
• 51:49
  Speaker 42: a lot of fun. Spectacular foliage. That's what we've talked about.
• 51:53
  Speaker 42: I'm Neal Sperry. Until next time, thanks for listening and
• 51:56
  Speaker 42: happy gardening.

  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 53:39
  Speaker 34: I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW.
• 53:45
  Speaker 34: The Aggie football team is on the road, headed down
• 53:47
  Speaker 34: to Alabama to continue SEC play. Head coach Mike Elko
• 53:51
  Speaker 34: previewed the upcoming matchup and the importance of capitalizing on
• 53:55
  Speaker 34: the road.
• 53:56
  Speaker 41: Now it's back to SEC play and a big challenge
• 53:58
  Speaker 41: this week against a really, really talented Alabama team, a
• 54:01
  Speaker 41: team that I think has functioned in really well on
• 54:03
  Speaker 41: both sides of the ball obviously two tough losses back
• 54:06
  Speaker 41: to back but against really talented teams that they've been
• 54:08
  Speaker 41: playing I think as we've talked about trying to play
• 54:11
  Speaker 41: our way out of this it's it's obviously trying to
• 54:14
  Speaker 41: find ways to create early success but also I think
• 54:17
  Speaker 41: understanding our ability and need to react if you go
• 54:21
  Speaker 41: back and think of the road wins that we've had
• 54:24
  Speaker 41: in my time here to get a win against a
• 54:26
  Speaker 41: really good team on the road you know you're going
• 54:28
  Speaker 41: to have to make plays early, but you're also going
• 54:30
  Speaker 41: to have to overcome failures.
• 54:32
  Speaker 27: You're also going to have to have swings and momentum.
• 54:36
  Speaker 27: That's what it's going to take. It's going to take
• 54:37
  Speaker 27: a full three and a half hours of battling all
• 54:41
  Speaker 27: of the ebbs and flows that come with a road
• 54:44
  Speaker 27: game in this conference.
• 54:45
  Speaker 34: Kickoff for tomorrow afternoon's game is set for 2.30, and
• 54:49
  Speaker 34: you can listen to the game on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie
• 54:55
  Speaker 34: men's basketball team is two days away from playing their
• 54:57
  Speaker 34: first exhibition game of the season against SMU. Head coach
• 55:02
  Speaker 34: Bucky McMillan reflects back on last year's team and talks
• 55:05
  Speaker 34: about the difference between last year's group and this year's.
• 55:08
  Speaker 43: Well, last year we were one of the smallest teams
• 55:10
  Speaker 43: in Power 4 basketball, the players that played consistently. We
• 55:13
  Speaker 43: were not a great slashing team at guard. There was
• 55:15
  Speaker 43: not a guy you just give it to and say,
• 55:17
  Speaker 43: go get a bucket. This team has several guys that
• 55:19
  Speaker 43: can beat their man. I've mentioned this before. Last year,
• 55:23
  Speaker 43: that group was such a fun group that I'll always
• 55:25
  Speaker 43: admire because they were an overachieving group in a lot
• 55:29
  Speaker 43: of ways. First, defensively, to be that small, they had
• 55:32
  Speaker 43: to really scrap it out. But offensively, like, This is
• 55:35
  Speaker 43: how that group had to score. Drive creates some type
• 55:38
  Speaker 43: of help. 25 drives later and 25 passes with somebody
• 55:42
  Speaker 43: sitting just like this ready to make a three, get
• 55:45
  Speaker 43: there and we might score that basket. That's just kind
• 55:47
  Speaker 43: of what it was. And it was great because they
• 55:49
  Speaker 43: bought into that and they were unselfish enough to do that. Now,
• 55:52
  Speaker 43: you know, we'll have some of those possessions, but we'll
• 55:53
  Speaker 43: also have someone just go beat their man and go
• 55:55
  Speaker 43: dunk it. And the later the season goes, you got
• 55:58
  Speaker 43: to have that.
• 55:59
  Speaker 34: Tip-off for Sunday afternoon's game is set for 1 o'clock,
• 56:02
  Speaker 34: with the game taking place at the Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas.
