Eight thirty Dingoose Morning News nine o'clock. Sportspot FM joins us live in studio
for the second time, and at nine thirty your chance to win Burke Kreischer
tickets if you can guess what is Smiley Kaufman's crush crutch phrase? Still can't
say it? Smiley Kaufman on the golf broadcast of the day. So this
is something you just heard him say a few times. Jesus, are you
gonnaive him clues or they have to guess. We'll play the audio and you'll
know in the forty seconds of audio if you can pick out what his crutch
phrase is. Okay, it's amazing. I think they'll be able to.
It reminds me of a long time there's a crutch phrase I remember, Mike.
This is a long time ago when we worked at a different station.
And you were the I think the phrase was do what. I love when
people say do what, do what? Do what? That means say it
again, didn't hear you? Yeah, well I figured that out over the
years. I kind of know what it means. It is sort of catch
all, though it works for a lot of different things. Do what do
what? I don't say, do what? What? Do you say when
you need somebody to repeat something? I remember I was in the Air Force
in Tucson, Arizona. I'm not saying it's the first Textan I ever met,
but my neighbor was a Texan and he did use do what do what?
They will? And I remember thinking, what the hell? Do?
What the hell's going on? Strange strange people, strange people. Now you're
one of us. I don't know if they think I'm one of them them.
I try to be. We're Texans from Sarasota, Florida, and Boston,
Massachusetts, the real Texans right over here. Yeah. Were you born
in Fort Worth, Archer City? You're born? They have a hospital in
Archer City. I used to I was one of the last baby you just
like birthed over a storm grate some say, as Larry McMurtry and walk the
great will catch him or not. Okay, let's respect my mother a little
more than that. Has nothing to do with your mom. We're talking about
you, talking about your sweet mom. She's a part of the process.
I would stand, but look, I'm not. Look, it's about the
options that are available for birthing. Yeah, it's and Archer generally, which
tall halls is where you'd go if you have any money. We didn't have
any money at the time, so Archer City one of the last babies born
there, some say the last baby born there. But as hard as nobody,
says former author Larry McMurtry, who wrote the great book Lonesome Dove,
and that was about you want some doves about me, whole things about me.
It makes sense. Lonesome and I am kind of like a bit of
a dove. And we'll buy some soap that is dove soap. Okay,
it's just you should have stopped before he started, you know, my old
Uh, this is not a good Monday. We're not off to a good
spot. I said we're gonna kick this month, this whole week. The
we're in position, but lp lot of sword is just holding it up.
There, and the clock's taken down. Why get a heat check after the
quacker's joke? That get a heat check here and there? He does have
the joke of the day, feather in his cap right now? He does.
He's very good. But the heat check was a freaking air ball that
just sailed into the fifth row. But you do it. How many throwaway
possessions have we seen? Luca knocks down the two threes in a row,
and then he lines up from half court launches one miss Luca. You know
Luca, only Luca on this station works afternoons. Yeah, to ask who
are you? Who am I? I like, I'm Maxie, I'm Kareem.
Oh he's not on the maps, Kareem. Why I didn't know the
rules, Kevin? I think it was clear what the rules were. Just
sky hooks all day, every day. None of them are like the greatest
highlight you've ever seen. But it just points on points on points until you
have an undeniable career. Sky hooks and really detrimental halatosis plus a little Hollywood
flair movies. Yeah, I'm definitely Tim Hardaway Junior. Like once a month
I'll show up and make like eight threes and the rest of the time.
My line's like one for nine. Yeah, that's a great one. Yeah,
like once a month, like dude, all rights. Actually I like
having him and then I just disappear. And then right when you're like,
you know what, done with this, I'm done. Swish just single handedly
saves the game his skin. Josh Green the cocaine kangaroo. Some days he
doesn't play, Yeah, coaches decision. The days that he looks like he's
electrocuted himself with a stair, that would be a funny. What maps are
we? Yeah, because you have like just the right amount of people on
the roster right pretty much. I don't know, God, I'd love to
be gaffered. I might be a gaffer type, new guy to Texas for
twenty years. They're all, I mean, some of them are all new
to Texas. Okay, let's just do the scinn bus. Just do anything
else? Do anything else? Is it breaks truck? Yeah? Man,
nothing piques my interests like an armor vehicle. That's good. I'm gonna tell
you the Brinks truck story in foreman, because you know that the Brinks truck
story is showed up at bakery. Got the week's receipts. Everything went fine,
loaded them up, delivered them to the bank, and everybody was happy.
Yeah, smooth operation. We'll give it to you in a minute.
But advanced hair restoration was like, we should start with that UTV story.
And I think this is a little interesting. Maybe it's maybe I care about
a little bit more because UTD is within about two streets from where I live,
you know, so it's real close to me. I'll live within a
mile of UTD. They had a situation where awesome. That's twenty year old
student who was reported missing on February twenty fourth. He was found dead like
this week, so he'd been missing. People were looking for him, and
they now shared on a Facebook post on Saturday that Andrew Jiao Lee was sophomore,
was found dead and there's nothing more. They've said his death is under
investigation. His body was not found on campus. They do not believe there's
a threat to the university or community. Now, doing some internet sleothing,
I saw that there have been this year nine reported deaths at UTD. No,
here's the thing. Some of those deaths include like teachers, faculty members,
right just old age, old age right on the or maybe on one
of those. Maybe that could have been another reason. But I think one
of them was eighty years old. But who's still teaching at eighty though not
many? Kevin Well, I don't know. Maybe swa you love what you
do? Yeah, I don't know. I said eighty. I said these
are some of these are unarmed. But this was a like if that counts
as a UTD person who died, Okay, nine is not that big a
deal. Keep mind, this is a small school in Richard. And there
was an unnamed student found dead in a car on February twenty fifth, no
foul play suspected. They had another one who died on February ninth after a
motorcycle crash off Cooit, So there's three. There was the kid who stole
the aircraft from Addison Airport right and then crashed it and they think killed himself,
although some people don't believe that he did, but we played the cockpit
audio and he basically said he was going to do it. So and there's
a few more, and it makes it's opened up a little bit of discussion
about, Okay, what's going on at UTD? Is there something weird going
on? And I was just kind of reading some comments from people talk about
that who go there, and it's just this just me taking in the internet.
It's nothing more than that. I'm not reporting anything here, but like
they were talking about, like, you know what, it did rank in
the top ten unhappiest campuses because maybe not a lot to do, and maybe
it's just you're there. A lot of people who go there are on academic
scholarships and maybe a little more introverted, so maybe not getting out and meeting
people, and maybe there's some challenges there. What are okay, what's the
main course of study at UTD? Is it? Is it medical? Is
it technical? Is it? How to get to ut Austin? I wanted
to just say science, but I don't know. I think it might be
nursing or medical. Maybe it's very possible. They're the comments though, so
that makes me think science. They're the comments. Yeah, the UTD comments.
I've never heard that in my life. This is something that I read
here and there were computer and Information sciences that's their most popular majors, or
Computer and Information sciences, Biology, biological sciences, psychology. This is just
a theory from someone medical and tech who goes there. And they said,
we don't know any of the more recent deaths or suicides, but UTD is
in the top ten most unhappy campuses. I think you get a different college
experience with other universities. There's no football games, no massive party life is
depicted on social media or in movies, no school spirit. They don't have
much when it goes to teams. I mean, it's basically a standalone online
course, right, I mean brick and mortar online course. No, I
mean, like have you I don't know anything about it. It looks big
and nice, it really does. And I don't even know how many people
go there now, but I'd imagine it's over twenty thousand people. I could
be wrong, because that's that's twenty nine five and forty three is of twenty
nineteen. Okay, that's way more than I thought, so a lot of
people. Man, that's a big ass college. And maybe what a good
portion of that probably is online? You know people who don't do that.
But it is a bigger The University of North Texas only has forty I mean
not only that's I think that's a big school. Forty thousands. This is
big. Yeah, so you get thirty thousand. Wow, do you know
this. I was just wondering this the University of Texas system because this is
all sort of under the umbrella in some way of the University of Texas like
U T is. So there's eight University of Texas system schools, do you
know what they are? And Arlington? So we have ut Arlington and U
t D fort Worth. There's a San Antonio. I believe there's there is
a San Antonio. You know there's a u Tephi Okay, Oh, I
never put that to I thought that was a totally separate school UTEP. University
of Texas El Passa, absolutely, there's Austin obviously, Rio Grand Valley absolutely,
yeah, Rio Grand Valley No? Or no? How many are we
down Houston? You owe me two Woodlands? Yeah, you're just saying names
of I think there's is there, there's spread out? Is there Amillo?
Nope? The University of Texas at Tyler Tyler, Okay, yeah, that's
right, and then Permium Basin All right, that's right. And that's eight.
And that's interesting. Apparently there's seven university systems in Texas, University of
Texas being one, and then yeah, I didn't know. So there's a
University of North Texas system. Yeah they have more than Denton. No,
they don't have more than Denton. That's just their own little thing, right,
Yeah, well you and T though has schools. Now there's U and
T Dallas and things like that, Okay, little satellite schools. Yeah,
UTD has three times the enrollment of SMU. That's crazy, right, and
probably a lot of that online. But still, well, you know,
the campus is bigger than I ever thought it was. My brother went there,
so like, you know, he didn't it didn't like he got his
classes and got out, like he wasn't there for four years. Where my
guy's also a genius. So where would you guys have gone? If you
could go to you could go enjoy whatever that means and have the degree from
I guess what where would you choose? And which Texas college is the most
beneficial? Obviously infinite amounts of different directions your life could go. But is
it RICE or SMU? Are those the most Are those the two most prestigious
prestigious Texas Okay, first of all, it's like you're not allowed to answer
if you went to one of the schools because everyone will always say they're alma
mater, Right, I don't think anyone. But I don't know. I
don't think of SMU like that, should I? Yeah? I just think
of them as the death penalty school. Well, so you think of things
simply. I think SMU is a good place you want to go if you
want to be a lawyer. You're UNC football on saturdays here on the freak.
You're over here taking shots people. You guys are not even mentioning TCU.
That's a damn prestigious college, too, is it. It's hard to
get into. I think so. SMU's acceptance rate is like fifty percent,
whereas utd U and T is up near eighty. Damn. But TCUs a
small school too. I mean it's the same size as SMUU, and their
accepted rate is just maybe a couple percentage points higher than SMU is a little
over fifty. And they have money because they're good at sports, they're very
good at sports, or they're good at sports because they have money. Did
you want to go to like UT? I had to, I feel like
most that's the realistic choices. Yeah, and it was Oklahoma State or here
or U and T. I had made up my mind. I wanted to
go to U and T real quick, not to be too far away from
home, but I wanted to be far enough away from home in clash of
the Metroplex. It just made so much sense. So I went there,
and I knew the history of radio guys. I feel like, as a
complete outsider, I would have if you give me every option, I think
I would have taken University of Texas. But that's from factoring in Austin,
you know. And and that's a scene and fun. I think I will
tell you this. I know for a fact. I arrived in Texas,
moved all my stuff U Haul Texas, and it wasn't until after I had
moved into the village that I heard the words University of North Texas. Just
let you know, I mean just for information, yes, like Florida whatever.
And I followed sports. Sure, I had never heard of the University
of North Texas. They were non existent, you know at that point too.
They had very little sports history. Yeah when I went there too.
In my five years of college there, they I think won one home game
in football, like yeah, maybe two, Like it wasn't a lot.
We had a guy, go ahead, Danny, sorry, I had nothing.
Well, there's a guy in Matthew who went to Utd's. I think
you wanted to elaborate. He just called in. All right, so welcome
to the freak Matthew High. What do you got hey, guys? Are
you good? So? U T Dallas is mainly computer science in the business
school. I mean, campus life is a little it's a little rough.
It's it's mostly international students and scholarship kids. So you go, or you
teach, or you live near. How do you know this? No?
I graduated from there in twenty nineteen. My wife and I both went there.
Okay, is there they have like dorms and as you said, there's
not much of a campus life. Do they have any like on base housing?
There? There is campus living as far as dorms. You're not required
necessarily to live there like other colleges are. There's apartments that flank it on
basically all four sides, and that's where a lot of the students live.
At that time, we were living in McKinney, so we just traveled.
It's a very travel oriented school. There's a lot of students from Dallas and
McKinney and playing know that just drive there and go home every day like we
did. I feel like this might be for like every college. I think
maybe I'm just being too much of a simp here. They're not a school
who's trying to be good at sports, and a lot of these schools just
want to be good at sports so they get more money coming in. If
you're good at a couple of different sports, football obviously being the main one,
then that can fund so much for university, and UTD is not trying
to do that. So they're not worried about a campus life. They're not
worried about how your experience is there and how many friends you made there.
It's not about that. It's about getting your degree and getting into the workforce
asap. That's what that's my thought. I don't know, I could be
wrong. You are totally right on I think at one point in time we
had a I don't know if you'd call it a championship, but we were
champions and chess and cricket. That was it. There's no there's no football
team. Soccer and basketball are pretty good, but not bringing the money.
No, no, no, all the money is from research grants. Yeah.
Well, Matthew, thank you for your time this morning. We appreciate
it. Man, Sure, no problem. I'm Matthew Brinks truck story.
Rock Think I did rock. I think I was cool. I had no
interest in college. I didn't want to go to college. I just went
to move. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I showed North Texas with
Kevin. We went to go room maybe baby, Kevin. Kevin, did
you live on campus where one year Clark Clark Hall? You're Clark? Get
that stuff to me. Oh, I wasn't in Clark, but I had
to eat lunch at Clark. Yeah, because my my dorm didn't have a
cafeteria. I was. I was in Kendle. You Kendall was in the
freaking r O t C dorm. Oh my god, no air conditioning.
None. There were two at the time. This was you know, night
the Fall of nineteen eighty six, Kendall and Bruce. Bruce Hall was the
musician's dorm. That's the one that I wanted to be in. But I
got placed in e fing Kindle with a bunch of r OTC military people,
which is fine but actually really cool people. But at first I'm like,
what they they're putting me, you know, with Niedermeyer and the rest of
those guys from Animal House. I don't want to be in that group.
Did you ever hook up? Gee? It's what's what? Assault with a
friendly weapon? Battle ground? That campus was But no, I had a
blast that but I only lasted one one semester. Yeah, yeah, and
I quit go back. I don't want I don't like school degree. Yes,
Danny, let's be all in, let's get let's do it. Yeah,
Danny bail is all in twenty twenty four. Oh I like that.
Let's get the signs. Yeah, but Kendall haul homie no ac Yeah,
yeah, yeah. You ain't adding this segment without this Brink story, So
go have sixty seconds. I have it. The video surface on Dallas,
Texas TV the other day, and it's a Friday. It's a man pulling
the pants off of a Brink security guard and that gun at gunpoint because they
took the gun from the Brink security guard took his shoes off, so he
shouldn't get his pants off. Like it was a big struggle, all right.
So he gets out of a black Chevy Malibu, points his weapon at
the guard, and the cell phone video shows the robber pulls the guard's pants
down, then starts to yank his pants off. He also grabs the gun
that was holstered and then takes off. Meanwhile, the security guards laying on
the ground next to an ATM at a Chase bank now in Yes, and
investigators think like he followed the guard on his route, followed the Brinks truck
driver. He's just getting out doing his job, and then got him right
then, and then made sure that he was unclothed, so he can't retaliate
or anything. He's gonna stumble over his pants. He didn't have a gun
anymore. Anyways, it doesn't matter. It's kind of genius it is.
He got away. And this was in the light of day with traffic and
people, pedestrians walking by. I mean the footage that we saw was it
some you know, surveillance camera. It was somebody on their phone feet away
from the whole situation. Crazy, very brazen. How much bread did he
get? It's at a large sum of money that we don't know. And
until you would find him, how are you gonna know how much it was?
Right, and I saw the video, you couldn't tell. I didn't
think he had like a mask on or anything. You couldn't tell, but
it didn't appear to be covered. So maybe if someone has another. All
you saw was that one cell phone video. But just dallastick to TV to
get stuff, sit to them or they find it whatever they are killing.
Yeah, they aggregate everything. It's a wild scene. If you watch the
video and you feel bad for the poor Brinks guys, you're doing his job
and he gets pants, you know, probably gets in trouble. Don't They
usually have a two for policy. You don't two guys. I thought that
was the case. But maybe if you're just one guy, if you're just
robbing ATMs, I mean, or you know, collecting money from ATMs,
then that's maybe it's just a one man up. But maybe there's some corner
cutting going on. Like, hey, Manna, I'll handle this. You
go get us a couple of Chick fil A sandwiches. Oh that sounds good.
Are you gonna get some right now? No, I'm not. I'm
just saying, what if the other guys like, I want a spicy,
I'll take two regulars. I love those waffle fries ordering anything, Yeah,
yeah, we'll split a waffle fries. I don't want too many fries.
Two regulars for me, one spicy for Danny, one waffle fry for the
both of us and whatever JJ want you can do on your own app and
a large Mac and chee for the table. Yes, Kevin, get us
food. Hurry up, damn it. The season one winner of the Floor
