37
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 3>give them other names. So not to tell them apart,

<v Speaker 3>is he did.

41
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.479

49
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.560

50
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 4>future and tell them which one will in the future

51
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:31.360

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>The girls have pretty normal names outside of Georgietta.

63
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Could be a Georgianna. By the five dudes, this is amazing. Yep.

<v Speaker 3>Those are just five kids, all know George, but those

71
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 3>are the names they have to go by because he

<v Speaker 2>do you remember did you have one? Christians?

83
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 6>I did not know what really?

84
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Why why do you say it like that?

85
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 6>But I had transformers instead?

86
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? But a big you know what a big wheel is?

87
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

88
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

89
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 5>The one?

90
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 6>I'm thinking of? A cartoon where he rode around in it?

91
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

92
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 6>Bicycle?

93
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you rode around on a transformer?

94
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, I well, at first I thought little hot

95
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 5>wheels cars, and then big wheel.

96
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 6>You're right, is the initial thing I thought of.

97
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 4>Right, but when those came out, and I didn't know

98
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>the reason I was asking is because I didn't know

99
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 4>if there were girl things.

100
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 2>But I think a different pick. Right?

101
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Everybody, Okay, everybody had everybody but Christina and America had one.

102
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 6>Didn't have one either, poor be.

103
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I also, yeah, Ben's picking on the firefighters salary. I

104
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>also think though that probably people their age, it wasn't

105
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>as big a deal as people our That's.

106
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 4>What I'm saying. Yes, that's I'm trying to give her

107
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 4>a break. Here, she's attacking me. But you somehow made

108
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 4>it a gender thing. Okay, girls aren't allowed on big wheels.

109
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 4>My whole point was.

110
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>He's got a big will story. Guys.

111
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Back when I had an Atari, uh you know, guys

112
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 4>in neighborhood an Atari, we had an intellivision. Yeah you know,

113
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 4>so there you were either an a Tari family or

114
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 4>an Intellivision family.

115
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 2>I was Division three. I had Calico.

116
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 4>I remember everybody was riding around big wheels, and then

117
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden, somebody else had a green machine.

118
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh dude, you hear those? Yeah, green machine? You remember?

119
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah?

120
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>And then it got confusing because ten years later, a

121
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>green machine was an edger and a weed eater.

122
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Remember that. Okay, I had a green machine. My cousins

123
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 2>had a big wheel. Yeah, okay, who was in trouble?

124
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean we were all pretty cool, I would say,

125
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean, not only but we got in trouble because

126
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 3>we had an automatic garage door opener, right, and what

127
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 3>we would do is get the wall and we would

128
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 3>hit close on it and try to make it out

129
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 3>before the groage door closed on us. And once my

130
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 3>mom found out we were doing that, we got in trouble.

131
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, you know, we could have dangerous.

132
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, my god, let me make it. Let me make

133
00:05:58.319 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 2>it even darker than that.

134
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I had this thought every time I see because kids

135
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>still have big wheels or you know, something akin to it.

136
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And every time I see a little kid out on

137
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 1>it in the in the street, and I'm like, and

138
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>these people and I have an suv. It's people in

139
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 1>big SUV's not paying attention. They can't even see that. Yeah,

140
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 1>they can't even see that down there. It is so

141
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>low to the ground. It freaks me out every time

142
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I see a kid on it. Because the other thing, too,

143
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>is like what Kevin was doing. You just go down

144
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>your driveway and out into the street.

145
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you shoot out. Yeah it's great.

146
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 4>And Christina's brave and noble father firefighter probably didn't let

147
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 4>them have those for safety reasons.

148
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, he built one out of a tree.

149
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have enough money under big right, he couldn't

150
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>buy the Big Wheel, so he built one out of

151
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 1>a tree he chopped down hand.

152
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

153
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 3>George Foreman three hundred million dollars celebrity net worth at

154
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 3>the time of his death, largely in part due to some.

155
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 2>Lean means fat burning.

156
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 3>George Foreman grill where the grease goes onto the tray

157
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 3>and that's the secret there.

158
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys have a George Forman girl? Yeah?

159
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 4>Not as good as the sandwich Maker, all respect do

160
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 4>rest in peace. But the sandwich Maker two thousand was legit.

161
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't have one currently, but we had one at

162
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>some point in our lives.

163
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember the sandwich Maker two thousand? Yeah? Snack Masters?

164
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 5>Come on, dude, I didn't have the snack Master, but

165
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 5>I definitely had a George Foreman grill.

166
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 6>And that little thing that would catch.

167
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 5>The grease got so gross unless you cleaned it like

168
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 5>after every single use.

169
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, disgusting.

170
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Was Foreman the endorsement on the snatch Master or was

171
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>that somebody else that was bread bit.

172
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Coming to f one.

173
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.680
<v Speaker 6>Later in the years, the one Oscar Piastre first one

174
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:55.360
<v Speaker 6>over weekend.

175
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Also, we're all you and Tlum's here all of us

176
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 3>here on the show, and we lost a big one locally.

177
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And this is a name that a lot of people

178
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 2>may not know.

179
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 3>I bet they know from wrestling, but they should know

180
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 3>because Bill Mercer, at the age of ninety nine, has

181
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 3>passed away, and he has he wished to make fun

182
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 3>of Mike McCarthy not having a coaching tree. You know

183
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of coaches on him that were successful that

184
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 3>have gone. Bill Mercer has a broadcasting tree that is unbelievable.

185
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 2>It's astonishing. I mean the amount of Hall of Famers.

186
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And he did everything.

187
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I remember my dad, would you do the whole Oh yeah,

188
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 3>he was the voice of the Sportatorium, you know, and

189
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 3>all that stuff, so calling wrestling, but the voice of

190
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 3>you and T for years. I think he called Ranger

191
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 3>games when they were an expansion team in nineteen seventy two.

192
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I know that. I mean him and.

193
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Don Drysdelle calling Ranger games. Like this guy's done everything.

194
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.919
<v Speaker 3>And when I went to un T it was always like, oh,

195
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 3>it's like this like mythical.

196
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>You know.

197
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 3>I was too young to know him, but you know,

198
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 3>people a little bit older than me definitely did. And

199
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 3>that was kind of passed down a little bit, and

200
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>uh yeah, ninety nine. He actually called the Ice Bowl

201
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>as well. I did not know that ers Cowboys in

202
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.120
<v Speaker 3>nineteen sixty seven. Wow, ninety nine man, Yeah, that's a

203
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 3>long way.

204
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>It's good life. It's a big man.

205
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 1>To have that much influence and have that many people

206
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that care about you and think about you.

207
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>That's he did. He did something big man.

208
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 4>So he was the one interviewing the ugandaan Giant at

209
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Lake Lewisville like for Friday Night Wrestling with the Von

210
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Erics and Iceman King Parsons and all that.

211
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember that part. I thought that was somebody,

212
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>so it might have been Bill Mercer.

213
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 4>Let me text follow up with the Sportatorium and yeah, I.

214
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Know he was the play by play and I think

215
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>they mentioned him in that Von eric movie too, Okay,

216
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 3>I think they had someone playing that role.

217
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, just a legend, absolute legend.

218
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

219
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like if this is it's weirduse.

220
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 3>He's ninety nine, right, so you're like this, there's things

221
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 3>like my dad would know and maybe like y'all's parents

222
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 3>might be more familiar with Bill Mercer's legacy, because even

223
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 3>you guys may be too young for being down in

224
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 3>like what he was doing. Yeah, he was everywhere Carol

225
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Old and he was on all the TV channels doing stuff.

226
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>When was he done at North Texas?

227
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 3>A few years after I got I mean a few

228
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 3>years before I got there, Yeah, because I remember he

229
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 3>was teaching classes into the Hollars Broadcasting class late, you know,

230
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 3>and like Hank Dickinson is one that teaches it now.

231
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he took it over.

232
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 3>He might have been doing it when I got there

233
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 3>and quit like right before I took the class.

234
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 4>Because think about us, we're me and skin are old.

237
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.120

238
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 3>was already the Rangers when they were expansion I'm not

239
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.120
<v Speaker 3>expansion team, they moved from the Washington Senators, but he

240
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 3>was their ace.

241
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I listened to every one of those broadcasts when I

242
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>was won that expansion year.

243

260
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.080

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:03.639

269
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.120
