just after four o'clock on this Tuesday edition, And welcome
to the program. I'm and the Everette Audio disseminator and
producer of today's program is one Michael Barlett. And we've

(00:43):
got all kinds of things to get to today on
the program. So we'll get to all of that coming up,
and I will start with, well, I don't really there's
there's so many things, so much going on right now.
I've got Mark Vandermir joining us at five seven later
today give us an update on all things Texans.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I may squeeze in a golf update.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
There's going to be another another situation where Scotty's not
going to have his caddy this weekend as Ted Scott's
family emergency. No one seems to know what that is,
but it's a personal matter and they're dealing with that
in Louisiana right now.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
So Scotty's going to be with a backup caddy again.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay with that, I mean, there's always time for golf talk, Andy,
and especially when it's Scott a. I mean, you and
I could be Scotty's Scotty Scheffer's caddy. I'm not gonna
ask for much, you know, give me, Like, how much
does a caddy make a day?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, Ted Scott's made more than a lot of the
players on the tour have made. Ted Scott makes the
typical amount, from what I've been told, is five hundred
dollars a day just to show up, Okay if your caddy.
If your player finishes makes the cut, you get three
to five percent of whatever check he makes on the cut.

(01:58):
If he misses the cut, you don't get. Okay, So
you're getting two grand to show up, I mean, and
it's actually twenty five hundred because you got to do
the pro am too, So the pro's giving you a
twenty five hundred to show up, but you do have
to cover your own hotel bill and your own transportation
to get there. Okay, so see that you're probably netting
eighteen hundred. Yeah, so something like that. That's where we're
drawing the line.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's like, Scotty, you can fly me out, fly find
me a hotel, doesn't have to be five stars.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
That you're a contracted employee, show up and get paid now.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
So but here's the kicker.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
If you finish in the top ten, you get seven percent,
and if you finish first you get ten percent, and
sometimes if it's a major, you get a little bonus
on top of that. So in the last three years
that Scotty's been on his run, I think the estimation
is that Ted Scott's made somewhere in the neighborhood of four
million dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Okay, So Ted Scott's not hurting for cash. Yeah, give me,
give me five hundred bucks a day, Scotty, and we'll
sit there and talk about long.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
But he's only going to pay twenty rounds a year,
so or twenty tournaments a year. So that's a one
hundred trips around the golf course only making fifty grand
if that's all you take.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, I mean I'll take fifty grand. Any I'll take
fifty grand at this point to hang out with Scotti Scheffler.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
You know, I would. I would.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
I would hold out for at least seven percent of
his earnings. I mean, he only made seventy million this year,
so that's four point nine million if you're if you're
counting at.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Home, as long as one of your caddy caddy events
would be obviously you know, at the Masters, because it's
a obviously traditional the white overalls. Oh yeah, that's right.
I forgot about that. You You would do something stupid
and try to snag those, and.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I don't care. You know I would not, Yes, you would.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
You would secretly while nobody's well, you.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Can buy them in the in the in the uh
in the center there and have them ups to your house.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
But you can't say that the ones that you buy
that you know somebody somewhere down the line, Hey, you
wore the same the same white whatever as I am.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I am not a sports memorabilia person. I never have been.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I've got a very few personal items and as far
as collecting things or autographs or posters or pictures.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
That's not my thing.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
You're telling me you wouldn't try to like dig up
a small piece of like Augusta.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Don't care. Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, it's like going to Scotland and getting dirt
from every golf course and putting it in a in
a tube. What the hell am I going to do
with all of that? I got enough crap in my house.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I don't need.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Wow, And here and here we were people thinking that's
just thinking that Andy was a diehard golf I would
totally do I'm trying to get rid of stuff, not
add to it. I would totally do something stupid like
that and then wind up in Augusta Guantanamo.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, where you're never heard from ever, exactly exactly, And
it would be worse in the jail that that he
was in Happy Gilmore too, well, very worse.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm so glad that you watched it and you enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I enjoyed it because there's lines in there, because I
love movies that have.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Lines and that you can repeat lines.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I mean, and if I watched it enough, I could
probably memorize the stupidity of some of the lines. That's
why I like Airplane, Godfather, pulp Fiction. I can sit
there and watch this movie and I've pretty much got
every line of every character memorized in some of the
of the scenes.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's how me and my dad are with Starship Troopers.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I have not seen that. It's a great sci fi movie.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
The one movie that you and I can agree on,
can agree on that we love is of course, Charlie's
Thrown is in it a Million Ways to Die?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
And that's awesome movie right there.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
This is for show Andy, Where did we go up?
With the ring?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Went off the rails early, But we're going to get
back on the rails, all right. Here's what we're going
to talk about today. There is This past week, the
mayor of Oklahoma City unveiled the artists renderings of their
new arena that will be ready for a play to
start the twenty eight twenty nine season. So they've got
three more years in the pay Comm Center. And this

(06:05):
looks like a miniature version of Jerry World. This is
a spaceship in downtown Oklahoma City that's gonna be one
hundred percent for basketball and oh, by the way, it'll
hold some concerts from time to time. But wait till
you hear how they funded it, and wait till you
hear what else they're doing to make this this come
to to fruition. So I'll tell you about that coming

(06:28):
up in the next segment. All Right, I have been
wondering for some time why teams baseball teams have a
different starting lineup. It seems like almost every night, and
for most of my baseball watching years, and my first
recollection of watching baseball on TV or listening to on
the radio was sometime in nineteen seventy one. I was

(06:52):
I do remember vividly coming home from school sick allegedly
and watching the Giants and the Pirates play the nineteen
seventy one playoffs. And so we'll start there, and we're
going to go probably up to maybe twenty six, sixteen,
seventeen eighteen. And it's always seeming if you've got a
lead off hitter that can get on base and steal bases.

(07:14):
Ricky Henderson comes to mind that he would always be
the leadoff hitter. And if you've got your best hitter
either hit third or fourth, usually third, and your second
guy was a contact hitter that could always move the runner.
Your fourth and fifth guys were your power guys, and
six through nine were you're less accomplished batters at the plate.

(07:38):
That the batting order was basically always the same. Well,
that's not the way they do it anymore. It's done
via AI. So you could lead off today, you could
bat ninth tomorrow, you could get clean up the next
day and hit seventh third the fourth day, And that's
the way they do it. And I'll set this up
a little bit more. But there's a lot of people
that think when teams go in slumps that the manager

(08:01):
should be fired. And according to Clint Frasier, who played
for a number of teams, including the New York Yankees,
has a comment on this that will play in a
little bit that shows if you're going to get rid
of the manager, you've got to get rid of everybody else,
because the manager is no longer actually managing the entire game.
So we'll explain all that coming up in a bit.

(08:22):
All Right, there's some controversy up the road in Norman,
the quarterback of the ou Sooners. It's going to lead
them to the promised Land and eleven wins, according to everybody,
is in trouble. Allegedly, maybe John Mattier has a Venmo
account that somebody took a screenshot of, and on that

(08:42):
screenshot from three years ago is a couple of payments
to a friend, and in the caption of the memo
where you put in what the money is for, it
says football gambling. It's a sports gambling, sports gambling, sports gambling. Okay,
now he says it was a joke. I'm not buying that.

(09:06):
But here's what I am going to buy. Why are
you taking screenshots of your Venmo account? I would never
understand why you would do that in the first place.
And for that matter, why are you putting a memo
on what you send somebody for payment?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Can't you remember what you venmoed?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Now I don't have I have a Venmo account, but
I've used it like four times because I don't like it.
I do do Zell. Yes, that's easier, that's more down
the road. But I don't think I have ever in
the memo section of that of sending somebody a payment,
have I ever told said what it was for. I

(09:50):
don't care what it's for. If I'm sending somebody one
hundred bucks or fifty bucks or whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
So we'll get into that coming up. And there was.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I got a couple of guys on top panel the
other day of sitting around and talking about the SEC
and about oh use chances, and most think that OU
is gonna go four and one or five and oh
in the first five games, and then it's Texas, Alabama, LSU,
South Carolina in the in the basic uh murderers row

(10:18):
of the SEC. And then could they go five and
oh and finish maybe six and six again. Well, they
said all of that, but they said something else I
found interesting that they think oh U's defensive line is
the best defensive line, not only in the SEC, but
in the country.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I have no idea because they got all new players,
and apparently Brent Vettibles has told this new offensive coordinator,
I think his last name is R. Buckle, you're in
charge of the offense. I'm not gonna meddle. I'm not
even going to tell you whether to go fourth on
fourth down. It is your decision. We'll see most times
coaches can't do that. So we'll get to that coming up.
Mark VanderMeer joins US at five twenty or so.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Today.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
The ch schedule is starting to leak out a little bit.
We know when the Spurs and MAVs are going to
play on October twenty second. We got some info on
all of that. I told you yesterday that the Texas
Radio Hall of Fame was announced and there were twenty
people that will be inducted into the Hall of Fame
in November at the Hall of Fame headquarters in Kilgore, Texas.

(11:23):
I think that's just a little bit north and east
of Houston. And one of those is Jay Howard, who
still works with us sometimes filling in for me on
this show and on UTSA basketball games. He was the
voice of the Spurs from eighty nine to two thousand
and one and part of what was then Claire Channel
now iHeart from eighty three to one. He'll join us

(11:43):
today to talk about getting into the Hall of Fame,
and we need to know what size the gold jacket
needs to be.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
We'll get into that.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Kil Gore is just east of Dallas, right, Okay, I'm
I'm thinking of something else. Kill Gore is east of Dallas.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, east of Dallas, east of time, thinking of Lufkin.
Leufkin is in is over by Houston, just south southwest
of Longview, Texas. Oh, it's out there in the in
East Texas. It's out there all right.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Jerry Jones was at an event this a couple of
days ago, and the audio is so bad. If we
played it, you wouldn't be able to hear it. But
you can make out kind of what he says if
you process it a lot and listened intently, and he says,
you know, sometimes I just like this stir stuff up.
Really we haven't noticed for the last thirty five years.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
But we'll talk about Jerry and the boys coming up
as well.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
We can get into.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Cowboy camp with the season a few weeks away, let's
hear Let's talk about more Project Marvel and what's happening
up the road in Oklahoma City and why we might
be a good point to good idea for us to
learn some things from them. We'll discuss that next. It's
the Indie Everage show on the ticket
