Speaker 1 (00:00):
Been in Skin Show ninety seven point one the Eagle.
The segment is brought to you by Frankel and Frankel,
our friends that have been advocates for injury victims for
over thirty years.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
They do an amazing job.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
If you get hurt, call the Frankeles first two on four, three, three, three,
thirty three, thirty three.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
That also works with eight one seven.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Call the Frankles first, get them on the case, and
then the mix immediately they will get you the settlement
that you deserve. Got an awesome love shack coming up
at the bottom of the hour about creepy things that
dudes have done on first dates. But right now it's
time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Now it's cool around the sports k TD quints as
all the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yea, I think three things I'd like to hit real quick.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Number one, we know it's in the World Series now
the Blue Jays beat the Marriers, so it's Blue Jays
and Dodgers that'll start on Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Big home run.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
It was pretty cool. Whatever happened. It reminded me of
the time we went to Toronto in twenty sixteen for
the Rangers. In Blue Jays had Canadian Thanksgiving. Incredible Strangers Houses.
That was the loudest stadium I've ever been in my life,
so it was kind of cool seeing it be loud.
But you know whatever, let's get some poutine. We had
some poutin. They are not allowing tortillas anymore at Texas Tech.
(01:18):
They've basically said, instead of trying to skirt this and
allowing it at the opening kickoff, let's just ban it.
And Dion Sanders is weirdly getting kind of the he's
kind of wearing the crown of the Big Twelve as
the guy who did this, because from the game that
I went to last year where he kind of started
making it a thing and they made the new rule
you can't do it, but then they kind of allowed it.
(01:40):
Now they are not even sure because this happened a
couple weeks ago in the Kansas game where the Kansas
coach claimed that there was a pocket knife. Well, the
video shows that it was a Kansas fan that handed
it handed the pocket knife to someone on the Kansas sideline.
So both teams got fine for that, but they just like,
(02:00):
you know, the tradition's over, no more tortillas, which I think.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's messed up.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I think it's One of the cool things about college
sports is they have these little stupid traditions. I like
when mascots go bungee jumping. I like stuff like that.
But if they're throwing it during the middle of the
game and breaking the rule, your team's getting penalized for it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
That's why they had to do it. Texas Tech is like,
they're going to hurt us. They're going to make us
lose a game because of a personal foul penalty because
of that them throwing tortillas that they've snuck into the game.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So was the idea that you could throw the tortillas
at the kickoff and not again?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yes, that's what the Big Twelve allowed before the season started.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why what did you say Dion had to do with it?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, and he made a big stink about it in
November of last year and it was the fifth most
highest watched game that weekend in college football.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And don't they shouldn't be throwing these yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, because they're throwing them on the sideline.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And Travis Hunter there's a play where he picks up
a tortilla that's in his like he's about to run around.
He picks up a tortilla and puts it in his
pants and then runs the play. He's kind's crazy. So
they're right, it was becoming a problem. Yeah, and you know,
college kids are pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Drunk, and so they're going to just follow these rules. Now.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, we'll see, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Wondering about that.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But they had a deal where you could buy tortillas
on the way in right.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh absolutely everyone. Yeah, I know, you bring them to everyone.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So they're running off the tortilla venders. Yeah, it's gonna
be tough. I don't know how Lubbock's gonna rebound from
this one.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Tortilla sales guy screwed.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
NBA begins tonight. I was thumbing through it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
We have direct TV here in the studio here, and
I was thumbing through to see, like what it's going
to look like because NBA consumption is gonna be a
little different this year. At five thirty, NBA Showtime begins
on NBC and then you're gonna have Rockets and thunder
and then at nine pm tonight on.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
NBC Local you will get Lakers and Warriors.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So Luca tonight at nine NBC five Local News will
run at eleven thirty and Vallin will start at midnight,
and I don't know how often NBC is going to
do this. Guy, I think they're going to switch it
over to the cock Peacock.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, they don't know. I was doing shorthand there. They
used to be cock plus.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
They used to be cock plus. Yeah, but on peacocky,
I think they'll probably start doing that. But for opening night,
nine o'clock, Luca on NBC five very weird.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Isn't that the company that Cuban started Cock Plus?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I think that's John.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, great, John Holmes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I think I don't know this, but I suspect that
they're gonna do this once talking about local Channel five, Yeah,
and probably because it's Opening night, but probably even more
probably because it's Luca and there's still a huge Luca
fan base here locally. So like if it was going
to be you know, the Nicks and the Kings, I mean,
(04:53):
that wouldn't be Opening Night. But you know what I'm saying,
I don't think Channel five would do that locally.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You don't think the whole nation is getting both games tonight.
I think they are because it's Opening night, and then
I think they'll yeah, back.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Maybe maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't know what they're doing in New York, Like,
I don't think their local news is going on at
twelve thirty at night, ten o'clock. So the MAVs season
opener is tomorrow tomorrow against the Space, and it's Homer
Road home, Okay home game against Spurs national broadcast.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think that's an ESPN game.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I believe it is seven thirty tip or thirty tip?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, no, no, oh no, eighty yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh wow, let's be honest. Let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's an eight thirty tip, it's an eight thirty start time,
it's an eight to fifty tip, it's a forty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It'll be eight forty. Barkley and the Gang's back, but
they're on ESPN.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, So I don't know the schedule of inside the NBA.
It's on ESPN. It's on after the games, but I
don't know when it starts. Does it start right now
like tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I don't know. I should know this.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I think it may be starting in a few weeks,
but I'm not exactly sure on that. So don't be
surprised if Parkley in the Gang is on ESPN after
the mav game tomorrow night, and then Dirk on Amazon
on Friday Friday, every Friday, every Friday.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's awesome. Yeah, it should be fun. All right. There
you have it. There is around the sports coming up next.
