Wednesday: Ghosts of Andy’s Past

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I don't know if it was just my TV last night. Uh,
and I guess I don't know why it would have
been just been me, but watching the fan Duel broadcast,
some commercial breaks were Spurs slash San Antonio slash Texas
ads and others were Oklahoma City and Oklahoma ads. Did

(00:25):
you have the same issue last night?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm assuming you're talking about the local ones that that
built up.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, I'm talking about the Broms AD and the BC
Clerk ad. Those are Oklahoma City ads. Well, I mean
Broms in Texas too. It's not any for it's not
it's only as far as south as Waco. That's the
furthest south Broms there is.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, I know that.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm just it's an Oklahoma City deal and they have
a mantra. They have an edict in their bylaws. If
they can't get the food to you in six hours,
they're not going to build a store.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Every time I've ever made a trip to Dallas or Waco,
whatever it is, my wife makes us stop at Broms
just because she loves the ice cream.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
That they had and that and it's good food too, or.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's it's all I like the crinkle cut Prize by
the way, yes, solid, but it's an Oklahoma thing for
the last seventy years or so. Well, so Waterberger has
been a Texas thing for the longest time, like Arizona
and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
But I was the first thing I noticed is I
heard this commercial for B. C. Clark.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
B C.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Clark is a jeweler in Oklahoma City that's been around
for one hundred years I don't even know how long,
and every year at Christmas time they have an anniversary sale.
And I swear the graphics on that ad were from
nineteen seventy five, if they haven't changed it in forty
fifty years.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I didn't realize that that was from your neck of
the woods because I can't sometimes I can't tell, like
what's a national what's a local unless it's obvious. I
assumed until you because you texted me.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
But the graphics weren't very not HD.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
They looked like they were like on a I don't
even know what they called it back in the day.
But like the very beginnings of reading, uh, non filmed
stuff right or computer generated things like you know, the
first Macintosh or whatever it was that that that came
out that created that.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, you think about there's a lot of Christmas ads
that they've played perennially every year. Campbell Soup has the
one with the melted snowman with a kid.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, but they've upgraded the video. I don't think that
that one did have upgraded.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Via updated the pixelation.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I don't think they did.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I mean, they saw that Corona one with the guy's
whistle on Christmas tree and then he lights up the
leaves on the palms that one's from like what the
two thousand and two or something like that. And they
had the eminem one where the Eminem's meat Santa, so
that that might just be the same concept.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
But usually I mean, fan Duel is producing both the
Oklahoma feed and the San Antonio feed, and I guess
their headquarters are in Dallas. I have no idea where
they are.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
And so there's the Southwest divisions.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
There's a switcher that basically is sending the the Oklahoma
City broadcasters to the Oklahoma markets and the Spurs broadcast
with Jacob and Shawn to the San Antonio markets. But
when you go to break, somebody's supposed to be pushing
the button to feed the commercial, and I think the

(03:12):
guy that was pushing it was pushing the wrong one
because I haven't heard that jingle since I've lived in Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
And have a blessed the past for you.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, I mean I was like, I know that. See,
people don't understand. There's this old saying that a picture
is worth a thousand words. It's just the opposite. Words
are far greater pictures. You will remember words far more
than you will ever remember pictures. And you know, it's
the same way that people can remember songs from their childhood.

(03:42):
No matter how old you are, you can go back
into your into your geography and understand remember the lyrics
to music that you haven't heard for thirty forty years.
We remember audio far more than we do video. NFL
picks coming up, it's the Andy Everage show on the
ticket
