Speaker 1 (00:00):
The things we do for football include if you're a
participant in it, if you're a player in it, you
understand the inherent risks that go with that with injury.
And you know, while players don't necessarily talk about that,
they know it's there, and it popped up in a
(00:23):
big way yesterday for the Texas Longhorns. You know, when
talking about how deep this long horn football team is,
part of that depth went to the running back spot,
even in the absence of Jonathan Brooks, And one of
the things that we discussed going into the season was
despite the fact that brooks season was cut short due
to the knee injury, it turned out to be a
(00:45):
plus for going into this year because both CJ. Baxter
and Jayden Blue got extended snaps down the stretch. They
shared the load of carrying the running back role for
the long run offense, and that was pretty much how
it was expected to be going into this season. A
(01:08):
little over a week ago, when Kyle Flood, the co
offensive coordinator offensive line coach for Texas, had a media availability,
he was talking he was asked, you know which back
might wind up carrying more of the load or how
might that work? And he said Uh, he said, they're
(01:28):
both They're both going to do it. They both contribute,
they bring different things and and they'll share it. And
we heard Sark say it through a couple of media
availabilities through well that is now changed.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You probably had heard by now that yesterday CJ. Baxter
went down with a knee injury in practice from the field.
They said they would do an MRI last night to
determine the extent of the injury. They did, and it
is extensive. It's what's been reported is I think Nawar
Richardson of Orange Blutz reported was an LCL and a
(01:58):
PCL whatever it is. That the university's release says that
it is a knee surgery knee injury. He'll undergo surgery
and he's going to be out for the season. So
with the young running backs there, the freshmen are in
with t Ray Weisner, who showed some things late and
of course Jane Blue they carry on. Blue was involved
(02:23):
in a player media availability after practice and that happened
yesterday afternoon. If you know anything about Jane Blue, you know,
as is the case with many Texas Longhorns, they're confident
in their skills, they and their belief that they can succeed.
And not only can that manifest itself on the field
(02:47):
in terms of the production or doing the things asked
of you on the field, whether it's blocking or catching
passes or running between the tackles or whatever whatever the
situation might be. Also it can help you develop as
a leader. Jamee Blues had a really interesting timeline as
(03:07):
a running back. He remember when he was at Cleine Kane.
He skipped his senior year of high school, remained committed
to Texas and signed with Texas, but wanted to preserve
the hits on the body and did not play his
senior year. Came to Texas, was biding his time, especially
as a freshman a couple of years ago with John
(03:27):
Robinson carrying the load and learning a lot from him,
and then last year splitting time. Now you would have
to think he's number one on the depth chart, although
in Sark's offense, it's going to require more than one
running back. It will require several. It did when they
were all healthy, even when Jonathan Brooks was healthy. Last
year there was change of pace with what they did
(03:49):
with Baxter and Blue, and it'll be more of that
this year. But Jamee Blue was asked about this confidence
thing that he carries with him on the field and
how it assists him in the locker room since he's
been around a bit now, uh and and hasn't been
a bona fide starter per se, but he appears to
(04:12):
be so now and how that helps as a leader.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, you know, well, start off, when I was two
years ago, I was behind two guys that are in
the NFL now, and even last year, I was behind
a group of guys you know that led that room
and taught me the way it goes. So, you know,
just learning from those guys to just sit back, you know,
me taking on that role, you know, it puts It
(04:35):
brings in a lot of confidence to those young guys
in our own.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, you know. So, he brought up having to by
this time a couple of years ago, seeing uh Bjeon
Robinson and Roshawan Johnson, and then seeing even last year
with Jonathan Brooks leading the way and sharing carries in
time with CJ. Baxter as well. But he I will
(05:00):
roll back to and point to his time as an
understudy under Jean Robinson as being most instrumental in his
development mentally, as well as physically. It's a running back
and he was. That's what's the biggest thing he learned
from Bejon.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The thing he told me was to always stay patient
and let.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The game come to me.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You know, that was kind of big for me because
you know, I was highly ranked coming out of high school,
of course, and you know, him telling me that taught
me how to stay patient, just work and wait on
my turn.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now, so he's waited on his turn, and it might
be a bit superfluous to ask this question, now, what
was CJ. Bax having on down with the injury? The
question is has he been able to maintain that patience?
Has he been able to stay patient? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I think it is. You know, I always use jb
as example. You know, he didn't play much his first
two years, and you know he played a lot last year.
You know, he went to the league after one year.
So just seeing that, I always look back at that
and it puts a lot of belief in me that,
you know, just if I just stay patient and work
and everything I want.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, all right, So there's that. There's when we talk
about the competitive nature of these guys. One of the
things that has emerged now I understand the way that
this works with the training camp workouts, with fall camp workouts.
They worked very hard. They had four days of practice
(06:35):
to open it up last week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
working Saturday in the stadium, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at Dienius Fields,
and Sark told the guys have to practice on Friday night. Look,
we're going four straight days to open and it's going
to be the only time that we go four straight
(06:55):
days in camp, four straight days with up break. He said,
that's by this, and we've heard him talk about how
he wants his guys to be a little more calloused up,
both physically and mentally as well. And so they did
that Wednesday through Saturday. They got Sunday off, came back Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
they'll be off tomorrow then to work Friday, and then
(07:19):
they'll have their first scrimmage on Saturday. So there's a
lot of work that goes into this clearly, but also
there are a lot of team activities. Those are those
things that kind of build the team unity and bonding
and all of those sorts of type things, eating together,
training together, recreationally, spending some time together. And word has
(07:46):
kind of come down from a lot of the guys
about the pickleball tournament and they had some pickleball going. Now,
I forgot to ask you, Cam have you I know,
this is such a sensation right now that has swept
the country. I think it's only a matter of time
before we in the Olympics as well. But i'd have
you done any Have you played any pickleball? Yeah? I've
got into it this year. In fact, they'll like it.
(08:08):
I like it a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I've only played about five or six times with some friends.
But it's a great, great source of cardio and it's
a lot of fun. And you know, it's easy for
you know, people who maybe aren't super athletic or who
play a lot of sports to us older people participate
us older people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I mean a lot of my friends they don't they
don't play basketball or a call for tennis, but they
will play pickleball.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, okay, well, uh, the log Worts had a pickleball tournament.
And as you might imagine, when you get a bunch
of athletes or any they are going to be, uh,
they're going to be quite competitive. And to the extent
that was trash talking that was going on during the
pickleball tournament, and heard was that Jayden was getting in
(08:54):
his own commentary his own shots about being very competitive.
So he was asked about the competitative nature of that
pickleball tournament and what it ultimately wound up being.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, I'm a very competitive guy.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Before when I found out that we was going, I
told everybody that I was, you know, gonna be hard
to beat there, and I was going for everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
So it turns out that I didn't lose a game.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So you know, they was talking a lot of trash
to me on the on the side, and I just
started playing better.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
They was talking charge.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
So you know, I'm highly competitive and I like doing
things outside of sports.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah. Uh So he winds up being the pickleball tournament
champion as a result of that one other sound bite.
Now remember this came after practiceing. This winds up as
a result of this being you would say, now a
bit obsolete, dated, you might say in the radio business,
the cut, but it's not completely there because it does
(09:54):
apply to him. But the Dope Walker preseason Award watch
list came out and both both CJ. Baxter and Jayden
Blue's names were on the list. Now we know it's
not going to apply to backster anymore because CJ, after
sustaining the knee injury yesterday, is going to have to
undergo surgery and he'll be out for the rest of
(10:15):
the year, hopefully makes the complete recovery and comes back
next year. In the case of Blue, he is a candidate.
He was asked what that means for him, and really,
at the time, seeing both his name and CJ's name
on that Doak Walker Preseason Award watch list.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It means a lot to me because it just shows
the versatility and the culture that we have here, not
only at the running bay room, but on the team.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Like I said, it's four or five guys that have
done it before, so just me and said, being able
to be on that list is pretty good for us.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, all right, So, and obviously Jayden's name will stay
on the list at least for a time being now
since he's healthy and hopefully he stays healthy and the
rest of that running back room stays healthy. And we'll
talk more about that about the guys in that running
back room who will be asked to step up and
contribute now that CJ. Baxter is done for the year.
(11:12):
It's the Olympic Volleyball semifinal match has finished, and France
did finish off a sweep of the number two team
in the world, Italy. They beat them in straight sets.
Maybe you know, getting that little extra boost from playing
(11:32):
in your home country has really buoyed France. They've had
their highest metal count in decades at an Olympics, in fact,
their highest metal count since they hosted in nineteen hundred
and here there they're going to get a chance to
play for the golden They're going to play Poland because
Poland defeated the United States today in a decisive fifth
(11:55):
set tiebreaker fifteen thirteen in that final sets. So the
US will it's a chance to medal, they'll play Italy.
That's gonna be a tough assignment. Many folks, I think,
thought the US would be playing Italy for the gold medal. Instead,
they're going to be playing for the bronze on Friday morning.
And if you say, well, that's a disappointment, Yeah, disappointment
that they couldn't put pulling away when they had the chance.
(12:17):
But considering where the US has come from, they have
not won a gold since twenty sixteen, they have. They
didn't even get into the medal round last year they
were finished tenth. And since the twenty first century started,
they've only had one gold medal and they've had one
(12:39):
bronze medal and then the rest were coming up short.
So they'll get a chance to get a bronze medal
out of this on Friday morning when they wind up
playing Italy for the bronze. All right, we'll let more
on the Olympics coming up, and we got to get
to some other topics and inconceivable, that's up next. Continue

Henery weekdays from seven to nine am, only on Sports Radio. Ay,
I'm thirteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
This so inconceivable, inconceivable, inconceivable, inconceivable. I don't think I
miss what you're thinking. Miss. Here we go with inconceivable.
Now that Cameron Parker is back. I asked you the
other day, well, I asked you earlier in the program
(21:49):
about your flight situation. You said it all went okay.
What we have learned also, and I was a little
concern about you on this deal because of the meltdown
that happened with Delta and Microsoft and CrowdStrike all that deal. Well,
(22:11):
as it turns out, they're all taking turns throwing rocks
at one another right now. Microsoft Delta blamed CrowdStrike, and
CrowdStrike got mad at Delta, and apparently Microsoft has as well.
They blamed Delta airlines for that week long battle of
(22:32):
cancelations that was last week and the week before. They
claimed that aging technology at Delta calls the airline to
recover far slower from that global tech outage than its rivals.
Microsoft also claimed Delta turned down help after the CrowdStrike
bug led to those what everybody likes to call blue
(22:54):
screens of death on Windows. So Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Del
Delta have all been kind of, you know, sniping at
one another. Delta CEO ed bashed and lashed out at
CrowdStrike last week. He said the computer problems cost Delta
five one hundred million dollars. Crowdstrikes flawed software up they
(23:17):
caused widespread computer outages on July nineteen, but then CrowdStrike
fired back this past Sunday. They said Delta refused offers
of help to get through it, and then Microsoft joined
in on Tuesday. Their attorney said that even though Microsoft
software did not cause the outage, it immediately jumped in
and offered to assist Delta at no charge. Microsoft employees
(23:41):
asked Delta if they needed assistance every day from July
nineteenth to the twenty third, and it said The letter
continued the Delta employee replied saying all good cool. We'll
let you know and thank you. I said. They messaged
the Delta employee to say, just checking in and no
pressure to reply. But if you can think of anything
(24:02):
your Microsoft team can be helping with today, just say
the word. So the computer problems that Delta had knocked
its crucial crew trafficking system offline for the better brought
of a week, so it was virtually impossible for the
company to find the pilots and flight attendants that needed
to fly the aircraft. And while other airlines were quick
(24:24):
to resort resume normal operations after that crowd strike outage,
Delta was forced to cancel about thirty percent of its
schedule over those five days, leaving an estimated a half
million passengers stranded. Took many days after that to rebook
affected passengers on other flights and return their check bags.
I had a friend of mine who got stuck in Europe.
(24:44):
I think it was in Italy. He and his wife
got stranded in Italy over that. So yeah, nasty and
ugly and all that. Speaking of nasty and ugly, you
would appear to me to be a guy that is
a big streaming customer of video services? Am I right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I mean you kind of have to be if you're gonna,
you know, step to date in this society.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Do you have the Hulu, Disney Plus ESPN Plus package? Yep,
that'll be ready for the press to go up. I
think it hasn't already gone up. I know, I know
Netflix went up.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I know I think Amazon Prime went up again, I
know Max went up.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's getting killed here. Starting in mid October, plans for
Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus will increase by two
bucks a month, and the most expensive plans for Hulu,
which include live TV, will cost more than six dollars
extra per month, so the premium is going to go up.
The Disney Plus Basic and premium will go at nine
(25:42):
ninety nine and fifteen ninety nine. Hulu with ads nine
ninety nine a month, up from seven ninety nine, Hulu
without ads will go up to eighteen ninety nine a month,
and ESPN Plus which features ads, will cost eleven ninety
nine per month, up from ten ninety nine per month.
Just but you know that's on that and those of
(26:04):
us who have Peacock, I'm sure it'll probably hit us
as well off of that. Hey, I was talking about
the chaos that happened with the airlines and stuff like
with Delta. They've still got a problem NASA and Boeing
about how to get those astronauts home. You know, those
(26:25):
Starliner astronauts have been stranded out in space. They've been
up there since June sixth when they became It's Barry
Willmore and Anita Williams when they became the first astronauts
to fly in Boeing's Starliner vehicle, and the temporary failure
of several thrusters and the discovery of helium links in
the ship's propulsion system then turned what was just supposed
(26:47):
to be a week long visit to the International Space
Station into let's just say, it's an extended stay that
they're having to do. Tensions have risen between BOA about
Boeing and some NASA leaders last week when the officials
could not agree on using Starliner to bring Wilmore and
(27:08):
Williams back, and the detail review of Starliner's readiness for
the flight back was postponed, so it's been delayed now.
They also have then pushed back a SpaceX launch of
a new ISS astronaut crew, which has been delayed from
mid August to September twenty fourth, buys them a little
(27:29):
more time to try to get Wilmore and Williams home,
But right now they're still stranded in space two months.
They're up there now as a result of that, would
it be safe to say you would have liked to
have gone to the Olympics depending on the support. Let's
just say you could have had your choice of a
(27:51):
live say you could have gone to the golf, or
you could have gone to basketball. You would have gone, right,
You would have liked to have gone. Right. A lot
of people have attended the games and there are many
many people who are not happy at all. Oh really,
spectators no alcohol? Well that was one of the things.
How about the stalls going through refusing to accept anything
(28:16):
other than their sponsor Visa. You see, of course they
agreed to a sponsorship deal the organizers did with Visa.
That means no purchases, none at the Olympic venues can
be made with any other card.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
So isn't that finally it's some sort of like an
I Trust thing that doesn't exist in France. Yeah, that's right,
can't be The ugly American have to go with that,
the games organizers say on the website of the contest
quote proudly accepts only visa payment products including debit, credit
and mobile payments, along with cash at Olympic and Paralympic
(28:53):
venues to pay for food, beverages and other licensed products,
but in fact, only about one in every four Olympic
venue tills still take cash.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Most of them have gone cashless as well. At the
venue the eve De Mawa Stadium last weekend, waits to
get beverages and ice cream on a hot day were
made even longer when the fans reached the front that
we're told they would need to leave the queue, visit
one of only two nearby ATMs, then rejoin the line
(29:25):
at the back and starts again. Made it worse even
with peak times as well. So, yeah, fans pretty upset
about this. I've kind of flipped it around. Usually I
get to your fast food or junk food first, but
I wanted to give you something on this. Are you
(29:45):
I can't remember the answer to this. I think I've
asked you this before. Are you a Costco member? Yeah? Okay,
what do you like buying best from Costco? Tell me
about the food? Everything?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Well, the most biggest person I make is gas.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's me. Uh, it's not my wife. In fact, we
decided we need to make a Costco run tonight. We're
gonna do that. But okay, Gus, but do you like
what do you do? You like any of their food?
I love getting the slice of pizza? Okay? Do you
do any grocery shopping? Oh? No, no, okay? You know
they their bakery's pretty cool. They got lots of these fifties,
(30:22):
you know, these apple pies as big as a truck tire.
You know they get all this stuff. Well, now they've
got what they say might be their best dessert ever.
Better than their peanut butter chocolate pie, better than their
cream cookies and cream mini cakes, better than the key lime.
They have what's called the new orange dream Sickle cheesecake.
(30:44):
How you feeling? How does that strike you? Just hearing
the good combination of orange and cream that uh it's
and we've seen the orange cream shakes happening with Arbi's
and what was it the Dreamsickle frosty and when any
basket Robins has one? So now Costco has a cheesecake
(31:05):
Graham cracker crust, whip topping, orange dream sickle cheesecake clock's
hint at about twenty Well, it's five pounds in density,
cost twenty two bucks nine so but they say it's
worth the price. You try and let me know. Okay,
maybe we'll pick one up tonight. All right, we'll be
(31:27):
back to Wrap by Bower number one here on Sports
Radio A. Have thirteen under the zone in the IR
radio app.
The things we do for football include if you're a
participant in it, if you're a player in it, you
understand the inherent risks that go with that with injury.
And you know, while players don't necessarily talk about that,
they know it's there, and it popped up in a
(00:23):
big way yesterday for the Texas Longhorns. You know, when
talking about how deep this long horn football team is,
part of that depth went to the running back spot,
even in the absence of Jonathan Brooks, And one of
the things that we discussed going into the season was
despite the fact that brooks season was cut short due
to the knee injury, it turned out to be a
(00:45):
plus for going into this year because both CJ. Baxter
and Jayden Blue got extended snaps down the stretch. They
shared the load of carrying the running back role for
the long run offense, and that was pretty much how
it was expected to be going into this season. A
(01:08):
little over a week ago, when Kyle Flood, the co
offensive coordinator offensive line coach for Texas, had a media availability,
he was talking he was asked, you know which back
might wind up carrying more of the load or how
might that work? And he said Uh, he said, they're
(01:28):
both They're both going to do it. They both contribute,
they bring different things and and they'll share it. And
we heard Sark say it through a couple of media
availabilities through well that is now changed.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You probably had heard by now that yesterday CJ. Baxter
went down with a knee injury in practice from the field.
They said they would do an MRI last night to
determine the extent of the injury. They did, and it
is extensive. It's what's been reported is I think Nawar
Richardson of Orange Blutz reported was an LCL and a
(01:58):
PCL whatever it is. That the university's release says that
it is a knee surgery knee injury. He'll undergo surgery
and he's going to be out for the season. So
with the young running backs there, the freshmen are in
with t Ray Weisner, who showed some things late and
of course Jane Blue they carry on. Blue was involved
(02:23):
in a player media availability after practice and that happened
yesterday afternoon. If you know anything about Jane Blue, you know,
as is the case with many Texas Longhorns, they're confident
in their skills, they and their belief that they can succeed.
And not only can that manifest itself on the field
(02:47):
in terms of the production or doing the things asked
of you on the field, whether it's blocking or catching
passes or running between the tackles or whatever whatever the
situation might be. Also it can help you develop as
a leader. Jamee Blues had a really interesting timeline as
(03:07):
a running back. He remember when he was at Cleine Kane.
He skipped his senior year of high school, remained committed
to Texas and signed with Texas, but wanted to preserve
the hits on the body and did not play his
senior year. Came to Texas, was biding his time, especially
as a freshman a couple of years ago with John
(03:27):
Robinson carrying the load and learning a lot from him,
and then last year splitting time. Now you would have
to think he's number one on the depth chart, although
in Sark's offense, it's going to require more than one
running back. It will require several. It did when they
were all healthy, even when Jonathan Brooks was healthy. Last
year there was change of pace with what they did
(03:49):
with Baxter and Blue, and it'll be more of that
this year. But Jamee Blue was asked about this confidence
thing that he carries with him on the field and
how it assists him in the locker room since he's
been around a bit now, uh and and hasn't been
a bona fide starter per se, but he appears to
(04:12):
be so now and how that helps as a leader.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, you know, well, start off, when I was two
years ago, I was behind two guys that are in
the NFL now, and even last year, I was behind
a group of guys you know that led that room
and taught me the way it goes. So, you know,
just learning from those guys to just sit back, you know,
me taking on that role, you know, it puts It
(04:35):
brings in a lot of confidence to those young guys
in our own.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, you know. So, he brought up having to by
this time a couple of years ago, seeing uh Bjeon
Robinson and Roshawan Johnson, and then seeing even last year
with Jonathan Brooks leading the way and sharing carries in
time with CJ. Baxter as well. But he I will
(05:00):
roll back to and point to his time as an
understudy under Jean Robinson as being most instrumental in his
development mentally, as well as physically. It's a running back
and he was. That's what's the biggest thing he learned
from Bejon.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The thing he told me was to always stay patient
and let.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The game come to me.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You know, that was kind of big for me because
you know, I was highly ranked coming out of high school,
of course, and you know, him telling me that taught
me how to stay patient, just work and wait on
my turn.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now, so he's waited on his turn, and it might
be a bit superfluous to ask this question, now, what
was CJ. Bax having on down with the injury? The
question is has he been able to maintain that patience?
Has he been able to stay patient? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I think it is. You know, I always use jb
as example. You know, he didn't play much his first
two years, and you know he played a lot last year.
You know, he went to the league after one year.
So just seeing that, I always look back at that
and it puts a lot of belief in me that,
you know, just if I just stay patient and work
and everything I want.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, all right, So there's that. There's when we talk
about the competitive nature of these guys. One of the
things that has emerged now I understand the way that
this works with the training camp workouts, with fall camp workouts.
They worked very hard. They had four days of practice
(06:35):
to open it up last week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
working Saturday in the stadium, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at Dienius Fields,
and Sark told the guys have to practice on Friday night. Look,
we're going four straight days to open and it's going
to be the only time that we go four straight
(06:55):
days in camp, four straight days with up break. He said,
that's by this, and we've heard him talk about how
he wants his guys to be a little more calloused up,
both physically and mentally as well. And so they did
that Wednesday through Saturday. They got Sunday off, came back Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
they'll be off tomorrow then to work Friday, and then
(07:19):
they'll have their first scrimmage on Saturday. So there's a
lot of work that goes into this clearly, but also
there are a lot of team activities. Those are those
things that kind of build the team unity and bonding
and all of those sorts of type things, eating together,
training together, recreationally, spending some time together. And word has
(07:46):
kind of come down from a lot of the guys
about the pickleball tournament and they had some pickleball going. Now,
I forgot to ask you, Cam have you I know,
this is such a sensation right now that has swept
the country. I think it's only a matter of time
before we in the Olympics as well. But i'd have
you done any Have you played any pickleball? Yeah? I've
got into it this year. In fact, they'll like it.
(08:08):
I like it a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I've only played about five or six times with some friends.
But it's a great, great source of cardio and it's
a lot of fun. And you know, it's easy for
you know, people who maybe aren't super athletic or who
play a lot of sports to us older people participate
us older people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I mean a lot of my friends they don't they
don't play basketball or a call for tennis, but they
will play pickleball.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, okay, well, uh, the log Worts had a pickleball tournament.
And as you might imagine, when you get a bunch
of athletes or any they are going to be, uh,
they're going to be quite competitive. And to the extent
that was trash talking that was going on during the
pickleball tournament, and heard was that Jayden was getting in
(08:54):
his own commentary his own shots about being very competitive.
So he was asked about the competitative nature of that
pickleball tournament and what it ultimately wound up being.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, I'm a very competitive guy.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Before when I found out that we was going, I
told everybody that I was, you know, gonna be hard
to beat there, and I was going for everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
So it turns out that I didn't lose a game.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So you know, they was talking a lot of trash
to me on the on the side, and I just
started playing better.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
They was talking charge.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
So you know, I'm highly competitive and I like doing
things outside of sports.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah. Uh So he winds up being the pickleball tournament
champion as a result of that one other sound bite.
Now remember this came after practiceing. This winds up as
a result of this being you would say, now a
bit obsolete, dated, you might say in the radio business,
the cut, but it's not completely there because it does
(09:54):
apply to him. But the Dope Walker preseason Award watch
list came out and both both CJ. Baxter and Jayden
Blue's names were on the list. Now we know it's
not going to apply to backster anymore because CJ, after
sustaining the knee injury yesterday, is going to have to
undergo surgery and he'll be out for the rest of
(10:15):
the year, hopefully makes the complete recovery and comes back
next year. In the case of Blue, he is a candidate.
He was asked what that means for him, and really,
at the time, seeing both his name and CJ's name
on that Doak Walker Preseason Award watch list.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It means a lot to me because it just shows
the versatility and the culture that we have here, not
only at the running bay room, but on the team.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Like I said, it's four or five guys that have
done it before, so just me and said, being able
to be on that list is pretty good for us.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, all right, So, and obviously Jayden's name will stay
on the list at least for a time being now
since he's healthy and hopefully he stays healthy and the
rest of that running back room stays healthy. And we'll
talk more about that about the guys in that running
back room who will be asked to step up and
contribute now that CJ. Baxter is done for the year.
(11:12):
It's the Olympic Volleyball semifinal match has finished, and France
did finish off a sweep of the number two team
in the world, Italy. They beat them in straight sets.
Maybe you know, getting that little extra boost from playing
(11:32):
in your home country has really buoyed France. They've had
their highest metal count in decades at an Olympics, in fact,
their highest metal count since they hosted in nineteen hundred
and here there they're going to get a chance to
play for the golden They're going to play Poland because
Poland defeated the United States today in a decisive fifth
(11:55):
set tiebreaker fifteen thirteen in that final sets. So the
US will it's a chance to medal, they'll play Italy.
That's gonna be a tough assignment. Many folks, I think,
thought the US would be playing Italy for the gold medal. Instead,
they're going to be playing for the bronze on Friday morning.
And if you say, well, that's a disappointment, Yeah, disappointment
that they couldn't put pulling away when they had the chance.
(12:17):
But considering where the US has come from, they have
not won a gold since twenty sixteen, they have. They
didn't even get into the medal round last year they
were finished tenth. And since the twenty first century started,
they've only had one gold medal and they've had one
(12:39):
bronze medal and then the rest were coming up short.
So they'll get a chance to get a bronze medal
out of this on Friday morning when they wind up
playing Italy for the bronze. All right, we'll let more
on the Olympics coming up, and we got to get
to some other topics and inconceivable, that's up next. Continue

Now that Cameron Parker is back. I asked you the
other day, well, I asked you earlier in the program
(21:49):
about your flight situation. You said it all went okay.
What we have learned also, and I was a little
concern about you on this deal because of the meltdown
that happened with Delta and Microsoft and CrowdStrike all that deal. Well,
(22:11):
as it turns out, they're all taking turns throwing rocks
at one another right now. Microsoft Delta blamed CrowdStrike, and
CrowdStrike got mad at Delta, and apparently Microsoft has as well.
They blamed Delta airlines for that week long battle of
(22:32):
cancelations that was last week and the week before. They
claimed that aging technology at Delta calls the airline to
recover far slower from that global tech outage than its rivals.
Microsoft also claimed Delta turned down help after the CrowdStrike
bug led to those what everybody likes to call blue
(22:54):
screens of death on Windows. So Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Del
Delta have all been kind of, you know, sniping at
one another. Delta CEO ed bashed and lashed out at
CrowdStrike last week. He said the computer problems cost Delta
five one hundred million dollars. Crowdstrikes flawed software up they
(23:17):
caused widespread computer outages on July nineteen, but then CrowdStrike
fired back this past Sunday. They said Delta refused offers
of help to get through it, and then Microsoft joined
in on Tuesday. Their attorney said that even though Microsoft
software did not cause the outage, it immediately jumped in
and offered to assist Delta at no charge. Microsoft employees
(23:41):
asked Delta if they needed assistance every day from July
nineteenth to the twenty third, and it said The letter
continued the Delta employee replied saying all good cool. We'll
let you know and thank you. I said. They messaged
the Delta employee to say, just checking in and no
pressure to reply. But if you can think of anything
(24:02):
your Microsoft team can be helping with today, just say
the word. So the computer problems that Delta had knocked
its crucial crew trafficking system offline for the better brought
of a week, so it was virtually impossible for the
company to find the pilots and flight attendants that needed
to fly the aircraft. And while other airlines were quick
(24:24):
to resort resume normal operations after that crowd strike outage,
Delta was forced to cancel about thirty percent of its
schedule over those five days, leaving an estimated a half
million passengers stranded. Took many days after that to rebook
affected passengers on other flights and return their check bags.
I had a friend of mine who got stuck in Europe.
(24:44):
I think it was in Italy. He and his wife
got stranded in Italy over that. So yeah, nasty and
ugly and all that. Speaking of nasty and ugly, you
would appear to me to be a guy that is
a big streaming customer of video services? Am I right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I mean you kind of have to be if you're gonna,
you know, step to date in this society.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Do you have the Hulu, Disney Plus ESPN Plus package? Yep,
that'll be ready for the press to go up. I
think it hasn't already gone up. I know, I know
Netflix went up.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I know I think Amazon Prime went up again, I
know Max went up.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's getting killed here. Starting in mid October, plans for
Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus will increase by two
bucks a month, and the most expensive plans for Hulu,
which include live TV, will cost more than six dollars
extra per month, so the premium is going to go up.
The Disney Plus Basic and premium will go at nine
(25:42):
ninety nine and fifteen ninety nine. Hulu with ads nine
ninety nine a month, up from seven ninety nine, Hulu
without ads will go up to eighteen ninety nine a month,
and ESPN Plus which features ads, will cost eleven ninety
nine per month, up from ten ninety nine per month.
Just but you know that's on that and those of
(26:04):
us who have Peacock, I'm sure it'll probably hit us
as well off of that. Hey, I was talking about
the chaos that happened with the airlines and stuff like
with Delta. They've still got a problem NASA and Boeing
about how to get those astronauts home. You know, those
(26:25):
Starliner astronauts have been stranded out in space. They've been
up there since June sixth when they became It's Barry
Willmore and Anita Williams when they became the first astronauts
to fly in Boeing's Starliner vehicle, and the temporary failure
of several thrusters and the discovery of helium links in
the ship's propulsion system then turned what was just supposed
(26:47):
to be a week long visit to the International Space
Station into let's just say, it's an extended stay that
they're having to do. Tensions have risen between BOA about
Boeing and some NASA leaders last week when the officials
could not agree on using Starliner to bring Wilmore and
(27:08):
Williams back, and the detail review of Starliner's readiness for
the flight back was postponed, so it's been delayed now.
They also have then pushed back a SpaceX launch of
a new ISS astronaut crew, which has been delayed from
mid August to September twenty fourth, buys them a little
(27:29):
more time to try to get Wilmore and Williams home,
But right now they're still stranded in space two months.
They're up there now as a result of that, would
it be safe to say you would have liked to
have gone to the Olympics depending on the support. Let's
just say you could have had your choice of a
(27:51):
live say you could have gone to the golf, or
you could have gone to basketball. You would have gone, right,
You would have liked to have gone. Right. A lot
of people have attended the games and there are many
many people who are not happy at all. Oh really,
spectators no alcohol? Well that was one of the things.
How about the stalls going through refusing to accept anything
(28:16):
other than their sponsor Visa. You see, of course they
agreed to a sponsorship deal the organizers did with Visa.
That means no purchases, none at the Olympic venues can
be made with any other card.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
So isn't that finally it's some sort of like an
I Trust thing that doesn't exist in France. Yeah, that's right,
can't be The ugly American have to go with that,
the games organizers say on the website of the contest
quote proudly accepts only visa payment products including debit, credit
and mobile payments, along with cash at Olympic and Paralympic
(28:53):
venues to pay for food, beverages and other licensed products,
but in fact, only about one in every four Olympic
venue tills still take cash.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Most of them have gone cashless as well. At the
venue the eve De Mawa Stadium last weekend, waits to
get beverages and ice cream on a hot day were
made even longer when the fans reached the front that
we're told they would need to leave the queue, visit
one of only two nearby ATMs, then rejoin the line
(29:25):
at the back and starts again. Made it worse even
with peak times as well. So, yeah, fans pretty upset
about this. I've kind of flipped it around. Usually I
get to your fast food or junk food first, but
I wanted to give you something on this. Are you
(29:45):
I can't remember the answer to this. I think I've
asked you this before. Are you a Costco member? Yeah? Okay,
what do you like buying best from Costco? Tell me
about the food? Everything?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Well, the most biggest person I make is gas.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's me. Uh, it's not my wife. In fact, we
decided we need to make a Costco run tonight. We're
gonna do that. But okay, Gus, but do you like
what do you do? You like any of their food?
I love getting the slice of pizza? Okay? Do you
do any grocery shopping? Oh? No, no, okay? You know
they their bakery's pretty cool. They got lots of these fifties,
(30:22):
you know, these apple pies as big as a truck tire.
You know they get all this stuff. Well, now they've
got what they say might be their best dessert ever.
Better than their peanut butter chocolate pie, better than their
cream cookies and cream mini cakes, better than the key lime.
They have what's called the new orange dream Sickle cheesecake.
(30:44):
How you feeling? How does that strike you? Just hearing
the good combination of orange and cream that uh it's
and we've seen the orange cream shakes happening with Arbi's
and what was it the Dreamsickle frosty and when any
basket Robins has one? So now Costco has a cheesecake
(31:05):
Graham cracker crust, whip topping, orange dream sickle cheesecake clock's
hint at about twenty Well, it's five pounds in density,
cost twenty two bucks nine so but they say it's
worth the price. You try and let me know. Okay,
maybe we'll pick one up tonight. All right, we'll be
