00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:24.239
All right. One year ago today, this station launched. Have your Borthday

2
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:34.000
Free. The Texas Rangers are in
the playoffs. Hot Dog, it's the

3
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.520
Outland coming. I'm ready to get
up their ass about it. Danny,

4
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:46.280
enjoy the ride. Soak it in, kat soak it in. Let the

5
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:54.320
wave of playoff baseball gently wash over
your naked body, wash away your sins.

6
00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:03.519
Yes, baptism by baseball. That's
Danny Bayliss. Buddy Max Roy's gone.

7
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.359
What's he doing? There's no way
he's He's not doing anything today,

8
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.280
right, probably flying back afternoon.
Yesterday was Nigra falls fun. Yeah,

9
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:22.000
if you believe all of that TikTok
craft that's out there, believe those posts

10
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:30.040
which I've convinced or AI generated in
fake deep fake. Nah, we know

11
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:38.079
where he really is. It's ten
Bull's ten Bull getting Yankee Yankee in hot

12
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.640
Ton with sixty men, like a
bunch of Yankees who are done for the

13
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.480
year. Oh man, how good
is that? I wish I knew more

14
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.599
about that situation. I don't,
I mean, like in general, No,

15
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.599
no, no, no, no
no, no, We're I've just

16
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.239
now moved on from that. Oh
okay, I got you know the situation

17
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:09.400
with Yankee baseball about how Steinbrenner passes
away hands over the team, I guess

18
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:17.199
posthumously to his kid who doesn't know
anything and just essentially run runs payroll through

19
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.080
the roof and then runs the team
into the ground with care. Dad.

20
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.639
Yeah, just screw it. The
baseball sucks. Seriously. They got to

21
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.360
be those spoiled brats up there that
think the Yankees are supposed to win the

22
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.080
World Series every year. Have got
to be just scratching their ever loving receding

23
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.639
hairlines. It's funny. One of
the guys that they wanted the Rangers to

24
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.400
sign, you're some people on the
rangister sign it's a picture that's your Carlos

25
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.199
Rodon picture contracts. We end up
getting Roy Andrew and Eovaldi and Hainy with

26
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.759
that money, and Carlos Rodon his
er was like six eight seven. I

27
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.400
was like, oh my god,
he got destroyed this year. The point

28
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.599
is Rangers playoffs today. I've got
like an ultimate preview type thing at eight.

29
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.199
I can't believe they're playing playoff baseball
today. It doesn't seem real and

30
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.840
feel right, does it. Yeah, it's because they took six or seven

31
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.039
years off of operating as a franchise
well, and then they did what they

32
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:23.879
did and kind of teased us like
two different ways multiple times during the season.

33
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:29.000
Yea, you know, they teased
us thinking this wasn't our year before

34
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.560
the season started, that next year
was supposed to be the year. And

35
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.280
then they come out of the gate
just badass, like what they're still good,

36
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.840
unexpected but let's go Yeah, and
then injuries happen and then they start,

37
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.759
you know, dropping, and then
it looks like there's no way they're

38
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.639
going to make the playoffs. And
they make that little run. For about

39
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.479
what ten days, it seemed like
they were just unstoppable. And then we

40
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.759
get to the last what five six
days of the season and you're like,

41
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.400
there's no way they don't win the
division. Well, they don't win the

42
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.840
division, but they're in the playoffs, and you know what, once you

43
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.800
have a day to kind of process
it all and put it all into perspective,

44
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.800
I'm with you. We just need
to be thankful. Yeah, it's

45
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.560
playoff baseball. It's something we don't
see around these parts that often. Let's

46
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.120
just enjoy it regardless of what happens, not be negative about ago moon.

47
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.600
You're just gonna get crushed in the
first You don't have to worry about watching

48
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.800
him at your birthday party at Echo
Lounge because't gonna be playing. You know,

49
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.680
we could do that, but let's
not. Yeah, let's not have

50
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.959
fun with this. Is there anything
we should have all learned about the Rangers?

51
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.759
Yes, it does suck. They
couldn't get one more win over the

52
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.240
weekend and have a week off.
Yeah, But the one thing I've learned

53
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.319
about this team is whenever you think
you know something about what's gonna happen,

54
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:58.600
you really don't say what you think. They're dead and it's like they're just

55
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.360
gonna trick you. So you have
a pretty good idea what the bullpen is,

56
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:09.040
but that's you know, this team
has been nothing if not full of

57
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.639
surprises all year long, man,
all season long. In every possible way

58
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.160
that you could imagine a surprise happening, the Rangers have kind of delivered it

59
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:24.240
well. Also, the uh the
other thing about all of that too is

60
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.759
last year when they did this new
playoff format that I didn't know about because

61
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.120
the Rangers missed it and I didn't
pay much attention. There were big upsets

62
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.040
in this first round because the Rays
are favorite, the favorites. They play

63
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.720
all three of these games at home, so the raise our favorites. But

64
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.959
last year there were upsets in this
round, so that's good too, so

65
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.560
anyone can win it well that We'll
talk to our good friend, former Rangers

66
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:55.000
outfielder current Bally analyst David Murphy at
nine o'clock today. That's cool tuning for

67
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.160
them to talk to David. He's
thinking about the series. Also, have

68
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:05.000
a Ray bracket stick around for that'll
be funny. How old is birth now?

69
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:12.199
Is he forties? Early forties?
But he's uber late thirties or early

70
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.920
forties. You know how to quick
googie. We'll take us to the Promised

71
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:24.519
Land here Danny forty one? Okay, just jerk here. What was his

72
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.439
run here? Like? What years? So? I think he got traded

73
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.959
here in like oh seven? Okay. I believe he was a part of

74
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.279
the Eric Ganyer trade, if that
makes sense. I thought he came from

75
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.879
that. Did he come from Boston? Boston? Yeah, yeah, yes,

76
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.079
he was in a package that sent
relief pitcher Eric Ganyer to Boston.

77
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.920
He was a He came here as
a part of the rebuild, the John

78
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.680
Daniels rebuild, and did He just
as much a part of this thing as

79
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.800
we talked about Matt Harrison Els,
no question. Yeah that to share trade

80
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.199
and all that stuff. He was
an asset to this team for sure,

81
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.560
and he was there for the two
World Series runs. Okay, that's what

82
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.920
I thought. Didn't trade him until
it's like twenty or trade him twenty thirteen.

83
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.240
He signed with them, so he
was here for eight, nine,

84
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.399
ten, left six years, and
four of those years the best years in

85
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.120
franchise history. I mean, twenty
to twenty thirteen was just amazing. Man,

86
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.160
it's rare that you get to kind
of talk to a baseball friend,

87
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.519
and yeah, I want to focus
when we talk to him. I do

88
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.319
want to focus on kind of previewing
what the Rangers are about to face,

89
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.000
maybe his thoughts on this three game
series and how the wild card works and

90
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:38.800
is it really fair if he even
like the format at all. But man,

91
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.839
there's so many questions I have about
baseball players, one of them being

92
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.519
I'm sure in every clubhouse the dynamic
is probably really fun, really lose for

93
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.720
the most part, and those guys
are just clowns, like they have a

94
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.519
time, they yuck it up.
Why is it so rare? That you

95
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.680
can have a baseball player that kind
of brings that type of vibe and personality

96
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.720
to the public, whether it be
just the way he carries himself publicly,

97
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.360
the way he handles interviews. You
don't really see that happen in baseball guys

98
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.959
really being full of that kind of
comedic, vibrant personality. They kind of

99
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.480
just answer answer the questions by not
answering them. And is it just because

100
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.639
it's one hundred and sixty two games
and they just go on autopilot when it

101
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.080
comes to dealing with the mediata.
It's gotta be right, well, what

102
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:46.360
they when I first started in the
business of covering stuff, or are they

103
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.480
so afraid to do anything outside of
the construct of a straight interview for fear

104
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.519
of being categorized as a goofball or
not being taken seriously or take it out

105
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:03.639
of context or see I think the
pictures of the more eccentric guys and the

106
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.720
guys who got to go answer questions
every day, which is which for years

107
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.919
here it was Michael Young who just
did it. He just handled it.

108
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.399
Dirk did that too for the MAVs. Dirk didn't have to speak every night,

109
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.240
and he did and Michael Young did
every night, and he gave quick

110
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.600
answers, and people might say he
wasn't saying anything, but what he was

111
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.279
doing is taking a hit so younger
guys wouldn't have to deal with it.

112
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.240
And Murphy was one of those guys
too. If I was ever in a

113
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.960
bind, like when I started,
when I started the Ticket and oh nine,

114
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.919
I was still in college interning.
Back then, we hadn't quite gotten

115
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.320
to the point of we're gonna digitally
send files. You know. It was

116
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.879
go to the game, put your
mike in the gang bang, take your

117
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.519
microphone back to the station, uploaded
into the system so they have something for

118
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.080
the next day. I'll tell you
what, if I ever got in a

119
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.879
bind, I know I could always
lean on two people, Michael Young and

120
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.200
David Murphy. Michael Young more for
the group, you know, and then

121
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.679
emotionally anything I need to And I
need to get something for tomorrow's picture,

122
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.639
you know, because it's just what
it was for tickers and things like that.

123
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.279
Sure, and I gotta get something, Okay, you try to get

124
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.840
something to the gang makes because I'm
not asking questions, I'm not therapy every

125
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.360
day. That's for Jerry Fraley and
Evan Grant and Emily Jones, And if

126
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.440
I did it, I'd probably be
looked at. Funny. I could always

127
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.120
go up to David Murphy and go, Murphy, do you like baseball?

128
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.360
I've got a right hander tomorrow,
Very Andrews and the man tomorrow. What

129
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.080
do you guys gotta you know?
Yeah, yeah, anything, let's go.

130
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.759
Thank you. And that's so nice. He didn't have to do that,

131
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.960
yeah, and you, And it
would provide you a unique sound bite

132
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.320
from a little one on one,
right, as opposed to just the same

133
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.240
gang bang audio that every media members
get. Looking back at it, what

134
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.240
a waste of gas money though,
Man, I could have just emailed all

135
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.639
that over to the system imagining,
which change also, it just seems like

136
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.519
that always just seemed bizarre to me
that you're gonna send a reporter out to

137
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.519
the clubhouse to get the exact same
audio that every other outlet is gonna have,

138
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:22.080
because competing outlets were just not willing
to share. Well, right,

139
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:28.559
what they would do, at least
at that station was we'll farm this out

140
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.519
to interns and it's experience, and
bro I got I got a lucky my

141
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.519
timing of working there. I mean, I was in the mix for Rangers

142
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.399
playoffs going to the the World Series, but alcs there to get the tape.

143
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.399
Did you go to New York?
I didn't go to New York and

144
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.360
travel, but like Home Game,
alcs like there to get tape, MAVs

145
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.919
playoffs title run, you know there
to get taped. That was pretty good

146
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.960
time to be doing all that stuff. Yeah, especially as a young kid.

147
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.799
I got in this game so late. I was twenty nine thirty,

148
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.120
I believe when I got into the
radio business, and I guess, I

149
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.519
don't know if I'm fortunate that somehow
I was able to skip over all of

150
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.679
the kind of like fresh out of
college grunt work. And I was often,

151
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.639
you know, kind of teased about
it at the previous station about,

152
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.240
oh, you never had to do
any of that stuff. You just basically

153
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.399
walked in the door and started producing
the hard line. Which it wasn't that.

154
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.360
It was far from the truth,
you know. I did my tenure

155
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.519
doing nights there, which was fun. Overnight, no, no, no,

156
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.440
like evenings. We had a show
that I think was like seven to

157
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.320
ten or six to nine something like
well, it was The Ender with Mark

158
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:54.320
follow and Doug Anderson and and when
Mark got the full time MAVs gig.

159
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.919
That show kind of disbanded and they
put in the hot spot. Well it's

160
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:07.399
same time. The producer for the
Afternoon Drive show took a full time program

161
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.720
director gig in Kansas City and that
job became available, and since I'd already

162
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.440
had you know, a relationship with
those cats for a year, interviewed with

163
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.039
Mike and Greg and got the gig. And then that's where I remained from

164
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:31.440
I think like the year mid two
thousand until just you know, a year

165
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.240
a year ago. It is always
the cat was the producer, and then

166
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.559
he did the check. Morgan went
to Kansas City for a couple of years.

167
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.240
Yeah, came back. But that's
so all. That's so I knew.

168
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.159
I didn't know that you were that
age when you got in though.

169
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.919
Yeah, they ever think for me
is pretty formal unpaid internships, sure,

170
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.879
which which is the way, it's
the standard, the standard route to get

171
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.080
to say that with no bitching like
that absolutely what it was, and I

172
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.279
was thrilled to have it. I
feel like I didn't miss out on a

173
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.480
lot of the infrastructure of this business, the nuts and bolts of this business,

174
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.000
you know, doing the grunt work
and and learning how to interact with

175
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.000
athletes and how to manage yourself in
a clubhouse and all that stuff, because

176
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.879
yeah, just being in the clubhouse, Yeah, it felt like such an

177
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.879
invasion of privacy totally. We have
no business in there. I still hate

178
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.240
it. We should give them time
and they're you know, I mean as

179
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.679
what would what would happen though,
is they would take advantage of that and

180
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.960
they would just leave and then talk, and then you don't talk, and

181
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.399
then you don't spread the grow the
game, as golfers like to say.

182
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.120
But like that for me was very
good. I also, at that point

183
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.440
in my life, was not good
at socializing outside of people I knew very

184
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.759
well. And that's a small town
crutch. Yeah that affected me. But

185
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.919
I mean overnight board opping ten pm
to six am sure taught me a lot

186
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.360
and also taught me how to use
time. I was going in and just

187
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.039
using equipment and I was doing I'm
sure I don't have to find them,

188
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.799
but terrible bits practicing doing tickers or
just doing even like segments, doing podcasts

189
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.120
things like that during those over nine
hours when all you really had to do

190
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.799
is go push a button. Well, and now it's all automated for the

191
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.080
most part of me. I think
they still probably do have a person overnight,

192
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.600
but here it's all, yeah,
yeah, they do. They still

193
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.120
have an overnight person over there.
But I wish we did. I mean,

194
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.320
I wish we'd did it that way
still, but you know, times

195
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:43.480
have changed. I had one thought, I think the real quick going back

196
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.879
to the guys chasing tape and people
going into clubhouses where you know, in

197
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.600
the fifties, it was what you
had to do to get your reports because

198
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.559
everything was written. It was the
written media. It was the newspapers.

199
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.159
The guys had to go in there
with the note pads and write in shorthand

200
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.159
and then decipher that stuff later on
that night and type it out and submit

201
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.679
it for press the next day.
It's changed so much, but we's kind

202
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.240
of still adhere to that old formula, and I think that could change because,

203
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:19.960
honestly, dude, I think that
the the percentage of athletes that enjoy

204
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.200
talking to the media is probably about
the same percentage of the media that really

205
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.759
wants to be there in those clubhouses
chasing tape. I think there's a small

206
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:37.720
percentage of just media nerds that just
love it every time they walk into the

207
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.720
clubhouse, it's like, hell,
yeah, I'm getting great quotes today.

208
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.879
I can't wait to do this job, cut up this tape, get it

209
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.279
ready for our sports updates or whatever
they're doing. I think that's a very

210
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.519
small percentage. Well, it's also
a very few jobs, and it's just

211
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.399
three people, and it's usually a
stepping stone to you know, brighter,

212
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.119
bigger career, something that is you
know, I guess, more important or

213
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:12.119
whatever. But it's strange that relationship
that the athlete has with the media at

214
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:18.240
that level. It's like it's like
a necessary thing. It's a mechanical thing

215
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:23.000
that you know, you have to
do because both of them need the other

216
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.960
to kind of survive. I guess
in a way because the teams, the

217
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:36.880
athletes, they they need the media
to tell the story. Yeah, and

218
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.759
and the nicer you are, I
guess, the cooler you are than the

219
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:47.000
cooler the story might be about you. And then the media needs the the

220
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:51.519
hugeness, the fame, the popularity
of the team of the athletes to get

221
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.480
eyes on their paper. It just
works both ways. But I don't think

222
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.880
anybody really wants to do it.
The majority of both parties ball don't want

223
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.599
to be there. Oh my god. I mean, if I got a

224
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.880
sign to go do anything in the
locker room, I just beating man.

225
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.319
I don't want to do that.
But it was like great when you're twenty

226
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.240
yeah, and they've got your eyes
on a bigger prize two twenty three whatever.

227
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.880
But then at the time if that
was a big part of my job.

228
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.079
Now, like if they were since
saw a playoff trip or something,

229
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.519
though, like you said, let's
say they sends to Tampa Bay, Yeah,

230
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.079
to cover their absolutely go in the
locker room after the game, of

231
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:30.880
course, like they'd be kind of
a part of it. Probably I would

232
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.759
be. I would be cool with
that. We got sent on a few

233
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.559
trips back in the day. We
went to the ALCS in New York in

234
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:45.920
twenty ten and we're I don't think
we actually we almost got kicked out of

235
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.440
and got flown back home because we
got in trouble with John Blake, the

236
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:53.359
pr man. He stepped on his
field. Yeah, we were told it

237
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.079
was okay, you know what,
I don't want to relive that now you

238
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.240
shouldn't, and you know what,
John probably doesn't either. Yeah, that's

239
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.599
a great guy. But we did
get to go to when we went to

240
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.599
Wrigley. We did a fun trip
and we took listeners and invited listeners and

241
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:12.920
people that were transplants from the DFW
area up to Chicago. Had a great

242
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:19.240
time, and we were in the
clubhouse at at Wrigley after after those games,

243
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.839
and it was cool. I didn't
mind that. But I was basically

244
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.000
just kind of walking around following Corby
around and I was doing wacky stuff with

245
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.359
players. But and he'll talk to
anyone. But that wasn't like just a

246
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.440
grind. That wasn't the grind.
That was more of a special event.

247
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.200
So I know what you're saying.
So we'll have David Murphy at nine.

248
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.960
We'll also have a little bit of
a preview at eight and gut this crazy

249
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.519
story that came out. Some things
about this series that I learned a little

250
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.200
bit last night, and a few
things that's very interesting. It's Sports at

251
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:53.960
seven at seven college football clean up. Some wild things. Some of them

252
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.400
involved Kevin James. I have some
crazy audio that involves milking. And I

253
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.920
also I have Somebodia from the Manning
Cast last night. Their special guest is

254
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.000
Will Ferrell. That's always fun.
Yeah, I tried to watch a good

255
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.480
portion of that, and it got
to a point where I found it to

256
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:22.240
be incredibly unwatchable. Really yeah,
I mean the game was unwatchable. That

257
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:25.720
didn't help. Oh yeah, to
me, the game was the big problem.

258
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.640
Last night. I actually died.
Last night's broadcast was pretty good just

259
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.839
because Peyton was on one. Peyton
was either angry or cooked out or something.

260
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.920
Something was going on with Peyton last
night. Uh so I want to

261
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.160
talk. I got some clips from
that I have. I don't think that

262
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.720
I have the the the NFL love. I don't love football and love the

263
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.960
NFL so much that I could watch
an entire three hour game, well,

264
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.240
just the Manning cast. I don't
think the Manning cast would serve me best

265
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.640
if if a twenty year old intern
watches it and cuts it up and gives

266
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.319
me the TikTok version of it the
next day. No, And that's kind

267
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.519
of what I That's kind of how
I view it. And also, if

268
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.039
the game's not good like last night, it's just background noise. It's like

269
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.440
every baseball game all summer. It's
just on in the background, and I'm

270
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:26.640
not really I'm looking at my computer. Usually there's a thing with old people

271
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.240
at seven thirty you want to get
into in the scuttle butt. There's an

272
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.599
old lady who wants to get in
the hot air balloon and it's been a

273
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:40.160
big thing on our show and the
Hot air Balloon. That's a funny audio

274
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:44.640
at seven thirty two Cans Morning News
at eight thirty. Today, as we

275
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.319
said earlier, is the one year
anniversary of ninety seven one the Freak.

276
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.279
In fact, we've got something we
like to do sometimes is play why are

277
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:59.160
you up? And if you give
us a call at two one four or

278
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.160
eight one seven seven eight seven one
nine seven one, we'd like to find

279
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.920
out why you were up. I
did, We did have a call.

280
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.200
They hung up, but we had
a caller call in a few minutes ago,

281
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.359
which is happy birthdays. But we
were talking. Let's face it,

282
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.720
it's a question that we ask ourselves
every day. It's more rhetorical because literally

283
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.200
we do know why we're up.
It's because our job starts, you know,

284
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.960
at six By the way, we
do start our show every day at

285
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.359
six am Monday through Friday. Yeah, you know, if you're listening right

286
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:37.440
now, you already know that that
remind people of But we were asked to

287
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:42.640
do it so you know you scratch
our back, will scratch yours Thursday night

288
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.000
at the Echo Lounge. Absolutely?
Uh, but yeah, it's uh,

289
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.680
you know why we're up. But
there's so many people that are out there

290
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.039
on the on the roads right now, going somewhere. There's maybe people that

291
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:56.759
are already at their job. Maybe
there. We talked to a guy last

292
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:03.440
week that was coming home from his
job breaking rocks in Runaway Bay. Yeah,

293
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.400
I mean that's wild. You want
to know your story too, well,

294
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.680
we have a story. Let's find
out this new story. Are you

295
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:17.559
up? Hello? Coller? What's
your name? Good morning, Hello Jim,

296
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:23.160
good morning Hey. Question for you, sir? Why are you up?

297
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.480
Because I am an idiot that moved
to Corny but still works in downtown

298
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.400
Dallas, and in order to get
there to work on time, I gotta

299
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.119
be up about five o'clock, five
thirty the latest. We'll get on the

300
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.559
road and get to my job as
on call of Jenner. Okay, so

301
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.640
you're the guy that did that.
Did you used to live in Dallas proper?

302
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:52.200
Now we actually used to live in
Ville, Okay, but still Lewisville's

303
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:57.960
a little bit closer. So did
you Okay? So Fourny you moved out

304
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.000
there, you gotta cheaper house.
You got more land for the buck and

305
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.759
better schools for the kids that the
plan. I had moved near the grandparents,

306
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:14.839
so preach oldcare and lot of help, good play. Isn't it funny

307
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.599
when we're younger we make those big, bold claims. I'm never moving to

308
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.680
the suburbs. I'm staying urban my
whole life. And then you realize I

309
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:29.559
can live in this shoe box for
eight grand a month, or and my

310
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.039
kids are going to a weird school. Or I can move thirty miles forty

311
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.559
five miles away and have all of
the luxuries that you are currently experiencing.

312
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.599
But you kept the job in Dallas. Therefore your ass is out of bed

313
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.559
at five, I hear kids change
things, Danny, Oh yeah, so

314
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:52.039
much. Did you say you're an
oncologist oncology? Nerth What does that mean?

315
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.599
Cancer? Cancer? I treat patients
in the infusing room, giving them

316
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.599
chemotherapy, and I mean the therapy
to treat their cancer. Oh my god,

317
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.559
you're doing the Lord's work, sir. I feel like you should win

318
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:10.240
something. Do you ever get to
have fun and go to concerts and do

319
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:15.559
cool stuff? Or you're pretty much
just treating cancer all the time. I

320
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.720
mean both. It's having three kids
and a one month old where I don't

321
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.240
gonna do a deep fun thing.
He's got a one He ain't going to

322
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.160
Jimmy Eat World, dude, he's
got a one month old. Okay,

323
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.039
first of all, we don't have
Jimmy World. We're talking. I got

324
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:36.160
an option for you, but maybe
your kids like Italian food. Do you

325
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.640
want a four pack? Now?
I'm sorry. Do you want a pair

326
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.480
of tickets to the All American Rejects
or would you like a four pack to

327
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:48.119
the DFW Italian Festival this Saturday?
Or neither and we'll give it to someone

328
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.799
else. I will go with neither, typically because I got family coming into

329
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.640
town. Otherwise the popula thing actually
would be great, but I got a

330
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.680
the great Grandma coming into town this
weekend. What about Thursday night? You're

331
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.440
gonna come and see us at the
Echo Lounge. He ain't going out,

332
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.119
dude. I'm trying to see if
I get permission for all wife to go,

333
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.279
because I really want to go terribly. Tell her that we said please,

334
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.559
that Katie said please. You know, kat says that she'll probably agree

335
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.079
because she just has no idea who
he is actually, but I loves them

336
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.559
to meet up the bill like the
rest of the Metroplex. My friend,

337
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.440
dude, if you make it out
on Thursday, please come up. I'll

338
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.480
buy you a drink if you're allowed
to drink with a one month old at

339
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.000
home, and just let us know
that you're the freak on cologist. Okay,

340
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.440

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.559
one day. I'm sure you'll be
staring down at me wearing a medical masking.

344
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.839
This is going to hurt a little
bit. And you know what that

345
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.160
call did for a lot of people, so it's gonna happen to a lot

346
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.160
of us. But that called it
is that open up the opportunity for people
