Dallas Caddy and I can't say Idon't Caddy. Oh I golf you do?
Do you walk the courser? Dothe golf cart than the golf cart?
How far are you getting that thingoff the t bro? Oh far
(03:45):
enough? Okay, just far enough? Okay, yeah, okay, lovely,
thank you, Oh thank you.We have our beverages, car,
We got some beverages. So manykind people out here bringing us thanks.
Yes, Well, today we needto say a word about a guy who
cheers. Probably most people don't thinkof as being Dallas, but I do
think of him as being Dallas.Every time I see him, I think
(04:10):
of him as being Dallas because hewas Dallas for a long time. He
made his mark while being Dallas.And I used to run into him in
the building where I applied my craftwhen I was breaking into this game back
good, what was your craft?What was your craft game? You know,
(04:31):
just the game of the dilettante.He is going to do the Masters
on TV and then say vericunya one. He is calling it quits. We
are speaking of the great Vern Lunquist. Now many of You may not be
(04:57):
aware of this, but for yearsand years, Vernlnquist was the sports anchor
on Channel eight and it was therethat he first made his mark in this
game doing that and summarily being promotedto do the occasional college football game on
ABC because Channel eight was an ABCaffiliate just as it is now. Yeah,
(05:18):
and that is also where he acquiredthe job of doing Cowboys radio play
by play and had that for yearsand years until he signed on with one
of the networks and went big time. And then did Brad take his spot?
Then he did? Okay, Bradtook over then. I believe he
is still in recent years. I'msorry for not knowing the holiday calendar of
(05:44):
different belief systems, but I believeBrad had a religious thing at some point
and Vern filled in a couple ora few years ago. Yes, I
believe it was something having to dowith Jam Kapor. Yes, that's probably
it. Okay, I kind ofremember this too, Yes, and he
recruited Verne Lunquist to fill in onthat game for him. But amazingly enough,
(06:11):
he has carved a niche for himselflike a few others in this game,
and he's going to do the Mastersthis week. He's done the Masters
many times before in the past,but this will be it. This will
be the final Masters, the finalthing that he does. He is trunneling
off into retirement after this Masters,after he calls this Scottie Scheffler win,
(06:40):
Yes. Yes. Along the way, Vern Lunquist was at the Helm when
Jackie Smith dropped the ball crap andhe had to make some sense out of
that, letting everybody know what anawful, awful, tragic almost gas that
(07:00):
was. While showing a little compassionfor Jackie Smith. He called Jack Nicholas's
masterful putt. He called many greatmoments in the NCAA tournament. He said,
Amen over Auburn's answered prayer against Alabama. And it's not often that you
(07:24):
see a guy have calls like thatover and over again. But his longtime
partner Brad Sherry, Brad Sham says, think about all the calls on his
watch. My contention is that's notan accident. Anybody can get lucky for
a call maybe two. When youget that many, that is God saying
I know who I have to putin control of this. Is he saying
(07:47):
that the Almighty made Jackie Smith dropthat ball so that Verne could call it.
No, he was saying that Vern. He put Vern in place to
make it not so bad. Ohokay, okay, okay, Like he
knew it was going to happen,then, to have Vern there would help
everybody. Now, Burne also hadthis in his career, and he doesn't
like to talk about this too much, but while he was at Channel eight,
(08:11):
he had been the sports acre anchorof w FAA for eight years.
He was already the Cowboys play byplay man. He was just locked into
sports and connected by everybody to sports. Ward Hughey, the general manager of
Channel eight, called him into hisoffice and said, hey, listen,
(08:33):
we're gonna start running this show that'sgoing to run weekdays, and I want
you to be the host of it. And he said, okay, what
could that be? And Hue toldhim bowling for dollars? Bowling for dollars.
Yes, this was a show wherethey would get spears out there to
(08:56):
bowl in non pun intended See whatI did there, though, You're brilliant,
mister Dallas. And the show isgoing to run every weekday night at
six point thirty for a half anhour, and he wanted Vern to be
the host of it, and Verndid not like that. He said,
I'm a sports announcer, not agame show host. I'm not going to
(09:20):
do it. Fair Well, backin the day, you have to understand
that this was before the Internet.There was no ESPN. Newspapers and local
TV were how you got your sports, and he was the sports anker of
the number one station in the market. He was good looking, he had
(09:41):
a wonderful voice. He was agood looking guy. Oh yeah, I
need to go find Oh yes,yes, yes he was. But they
told him and he told him thatI'm not going to do that, and
he said, I think you reallyWard Hewey said, I think you really
need to do this, and hesaid, call this guy. This guy
(10:03):
is the guy that hosts bowling fordollars in Los Angeles. You call him
and talk to him about it,and then tell me you don't want to
do it. Well. The numberhe gave him was the number of Chick
Hearn Lakers, a longtime Lakers playby play man and Chick Hearn told Lunquist,
(10:24):
look, this show runs five daysa week, and our ratings kills
everything else. We're up on upagainst the Huntley Brinkley report, We're on
up against Walter Cronkite and we killhim. And Blunk was said, mister
Hearn, you were the voice ofthe Los Angeles Lakers. What about your
(10:46):
dignity? And Hearn told him,son, take the money, build a
pool behind your house, and moveon with your life. Oh facts,
something we should all remember. Takethe money, build a pool, move
on with your life. I didit. He did, He did.
He hosted the show for all ofits two year run. People still talk
(11:11):
about him, talk about it withhim to this day, probably more than
they do anything else. And throughthe years he moved up the chain over
at CBS to the point where heis calling the Masters and there's always a
big player in their Master's coverage.I gotta go watch a bowling for dollars
episode? Oh you do you do? I don't know how goofy it is.
(11:35):
It's it's goofy. But it wascool. It was kind of cool.
I mean I watched it and likedit, and I thought, you
know, if Vern Lunquist can dothis, then I can watch it,
you know, if it's good enoughfor him. Yeah, he was the
draw, see, and he wasworried that the show was too stupid that
he didn't want to put his nameon it, and they knew that he
had to do it because if heput his name on it, then people
(11:56):
like Mike would be like, okay, yeah, it was just exactly right.
Weren't good at bowling trying to bowl? Yeah, I mean it's just
average spare guys. And what arethey doing? They're just they're just bowling.
Yeah, they're just bowling. Andthey had a score system set up
to wear knock a number of pinsdown, you win money? What the
crap? I want to play?You would have been great at it.
(12:18):
You would have loved to have playedthat. I mean, hell, I
would have blod I'll knocked down eightpins. Yeah. Or so we're all
just a bunch of spares. Howabout that? So funny? Man?
I wanted to make weren of turkeys? Yeah, if I'm a bowling score,
(12:41):
it's a turkey. Yeah, strike, strike, strike yep. So
when you're watching Burnon Lunks call theMasters for the last time, the last
time he's going to do anything atleast in theory. Wow, we know
how we all got to watch MasterSunday? Yes, think about bowling for
(13:01):
dollars? If you watch them onBowling for dollars, You probably do that
anyway, Probably every time you seehim, just for a tick or two.
Bowling for dollars probably rolls through yourbrainpan. But if it doesn't and
you don't know, you got noidea what I'm talking about. Just try
to imagine the great Vern Lunquist hostinga bowling show of just the average spare
(13:24):
guy and then enjoy his fine workon the Masters for the last time.
You think I could do the Mastersnext year? Maybe what do you think
I can do the Masters next year? I don't see why not looking for
do you want to play in thecall reporter? I mean, don't want
to play in it, but Ithe post. But I'm realistic. I
want to do I want to doBurn's job. But I'd also have to
(13:46):
tell Golf or mister Golf or BigGolf or whoever, Like, here's the
thing. I think you're a greatsport. Our image sucks. You think
the golf image sucks. Wear shorts, chill out a little bit, like,
let's just relax, upset A lotof people have a little fun.
(14:07):
All the traditional lists. Oh,we don't need to do that. We
need to invite everyone to the khakipants Brigade. They're gonna be mad at
you. No, when I'm callingthat golf and somebody hits a good one,
I'm and be like, it's agood golf shot. And when it
sucks and be like, God,that idiot screwed that up, and you're
like, what is that called?What is that? That's not professional?
But he sucked. It's a terribleshot. Yeah, get him a fireball.
(14:28):
You know what's really cool about golfbroadcasters is Amanda Ballionis has like a
monopoly on all of the networks,all of the golf tournaments. She is
always the girl asking questions and she'sreally good. But I'm like, how
do you do that? Like,how are you on every single tournament no
matter what network it's on. Youknow who I'm talking about. I think
(14:50):
you know if you saw her,because she's the only one doing it.
I don't watch a lot of golf. Oh she's cute, she's great.
Well, how is she on everysingle network? She must just be like
a contract or something. I don'tknow if she's doing the Masters right now.
I look up to her a lotbecause she's very good. She pulls.
Yeah, there she is. Shepulls a you know, personality out
of each of the guys, askgood questions, and she's everywhere. But
(15:15):
she's going to talk to Scotti Scheffler. She's cornered the market on female golf
broadcasters. It's pretty much her.That's neat. Yeah, I bet she'll
talk to Scotti Scheffler today. Scottiis currently leading what they're gonna name his
new baby ones that's born. Sheknows everything about him. I bet you
got name it, Scooter. Here'sthe favorite. Here's Burn lung Quist's favorite
story that he likes to tell.He was headed back to Dallas after a
(15:37):
Texas Texas A and M game.He pulled into a gas station in Fairfield,
got out of the car. He'sstill wearing the yellow blazer with ABC
on the front of it. Theattendant's noticed. The attendant noticed him,
and he said, excuse me,sir, Are you who I think you
(15:58):
are? And lune Was said,I sure, am, that's pretty cocky
already. So the guy called intohis office said, Rudy, get out
here. It's the bullying for dollars. Guying for dollars, the one thing
that he desperately wanted to not do. Yes, and one thing that he
told the Great Marty Hague that hewould not do well. That proves chick
(16:22):
hern right, doesn't it? Yeah, build the pool, shut out.
I'm sorry. You're gonna make somemoney off of this bad boy. The
money. Build a pool and moveon with your life. Yes, that's
it, man, I like that. I gotta go. Peace out,
Scotty Scheffler. Yeah, I am. It's hot out here, Scotty,
I don't like golf. Leading theMasters by one stroke, he is seven
(16:42):
under. Bryson das Chambeau and MaxHolma two strokes behind him. But Scotty's
still in the course. Max oakClub Halma, Okay, name my gosh,
Darcy slight him with that one.Scotty's still still on the course though
(17:03):
he's on eleven. He's got He'sgot room to end this day with a
two or three stroke lead if heplays well. How is he so good?
How does he win everything? Wheredo you think he eats? And
about shooting? Uh? What's inHighland Park? That's probably where he eats,
right, Yeah? The park cafeteria. Okay? Is that where he
goes to the cafeteria? Maybe maybehe likes that met Cosina over there,
(17:23):
he gets some some mambo taxis withMeredith, his wife. Yeah, I
bet he tears up the Mico chipsand salsa. It's just pretty cool.
Like the best golfer in the worldright now is just one of us,
one of I don't know if he'sone of us. He's a Dallas guy
and he's just cool. He's justchill, he's I don't know, he's
just a dude. Yeah, Idon't know if he's one of us,
(17:44):
though. Well, he's better thanall of us, of course, but
I'll just keep picking him say thathe's just a normal guy and he cruises
around Dallas and just cruising around Dallasa little bit. Ye, win the
Masters. He's Currently'll know, I'vebeen hanging around Dallas a little bit.
Yeah, he's currently gonna go techhis wedge from just outside the bunker.
He's gonna go ahead and putt fromthe fringe and he's gonna blow that thing
(18:06):
by the hole. Yeah, he'sgonna have a tough He's gonna have a
tough par putt coming up for ScottieScheffler. You think you can make that
par putt? Sure he can,Absolutely he can. Oh, it's kind
of far uh if you want,if you want a local story. In
the Mister Dallas segment, we havean update on Rashi Rice. Yeah yeah,
Chief's wide receiver who was driving realfast before they smooshed into a bunch
(18:30):
of cars breaking from six hours ago. M hm. Rashi Rice was driving
one hundred and nineteen miles an hourin the seconds before he caused a multi
vehicle crash that injured at least fourpeople, according to an arrest warrant Affid
David obtained by The Dallas Morning News. The warrant details injuries for at least
(18:51):
seven people, concluding a three yearold One driver who has hit suffered injuries
to her face, head, torsoand leg, and Pulls wrote she will
be rendered to a life of quotelimited mobility and sight wow while she seeks
treatment. Now I'm assuming that sheRice has insurance. It's gonna have to
pay for all of this crap.Otherwise he's gonna uh, he's gonna need
(19:14):
to keep playing real well and geta big second contract to pay the number
of people who are currently walking aroundin neck braces. He might need to
get a first contract after he getscut by the Chiefs. We want no
part of this playing football after this. Yeah, he's not gonna get cut
by the Chiefs. This is reallybad. You see the video. Yeah,
yeah, incredibly reckless. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's super
(19:37):
reckless. And then to just walkaway without checking inn, just cruise away
on seventy five. The walk offis what gets me. Yeah yeah,
yeah, I aways great, Idon't care who I hurt. And then
he's just gonna go out there andstart playing football again. For the Chiefs,
for sure, nothing happened. Yeahyeah, yeah. They don't have
any other good wide receivers, sothey need that to happen. There's a
lot of wide receivers you would loveto take a spot there are I would,
but it wouldn't be It wouldn't servethe Chiefs to bring me up that.
(20:02):
I mean, they tried to geta bunch of different wide receivers and
none of them worked out, andhe's the only one that did. So
yeah, he's like, he's notone of the best receivers in football,
but they were looking for literally anyonehe should not be. Yeah, he
was their second round pick last yearand he was the only receiver on that
team that was any good at football. So he'll be Okay, that's how
this works. Are you good atfootball? Is howards? Yeah? I
(20:27):
don't know, Like what is thelike? I don't know. I'm glad
that I don't have to like makelaws of what is the punishment for different
things? Because like, what washis intent? It was to drive fast
with his friends. And then it'slike, yeah, but the result of
that people he did it on Highwayseventy five. There were other people,
(20:48):
innocent people out there on the road, yet he put them in danger.
He did how many? How many? How long should he be in prison?
Mike? I can give at leasttwenty years. I like that.
It's my favorite thing to do whenanyone doesn't get me wrong. It's just
asked, Mike, how long youshould be imprisoning for? Man, he's
a tough joke. That's right,that's right. We're gonna get this world
(21:11):
squared away with me in charge.Yeah, I think twenty years. You
know, he can get out inhis early forties to start his high school
football coaching career and it'll be fine. Yeah, go around telling people what
he's sorry, what he did wrong, and don't you do what I did?
Yeah, if you get into anaccident, people are hurt, don't
do the walk off with three oryour homies. Yeah, and if you're

pool behind your house, and moveon with your life. Oh facts,
something we should all remember. Takethe money, build a pool, move
on with your life. I didit. He did, He did.
He hosted the show for all ofits two year run. People still talk
(11:11):
about him, talk about it withhim to this day, probably more than
they do anything else. And throughthe years he moved up the chain over
at CBS to the point where heis calling the Masters and there's always a
big player in their Master's coverage.I gotta go watch a bowling for dollars
episode? Oh you do you do? I don't know how goofy it is.
(11:35):
It's it's goofy. But it wascool. It was kind of cool.
I mean I watched it and likedit, and I thought, you
know, if Vern Lunquist can dothis, then I can watch it,
you know, if it's good enoughfor him. Yeah, he was the
draw, see, and he wasworried that the show was too stupid that
he didn't want to put his nameon it, and they knew that he
had to do it because if heput his name on it, then people
(11:56):
like Mike would be like, okay, yeah, it was just exactly right.
Weren't good at bowling trying to bowl? Yeah, I mean it's just
average spare guys. And what arethey doing? They're just they're just bowling.
Yeah, they're just bowling. Andthey had a score system set up
to wear knock a number of pinsdown, you win money? What the
crap? I want to play?You would have been great at it.
(12:18):
You would have loved to have playedthat. I mean, hell, I
would have blod I'll knocked down eightpins. Yeah. Or so we're all
just a bunch of spares. Howabout that? So funny? Man?
I wanted to make weren of turkeys? Yeah, if I'm a bowling score,
(12:41):
it's a turkey. Yeah, strike, strike, strike yep. So
when you're watching Burnon Lunks call theMasters for the last time, the last
time he's going to do anything atleast in theory. Wow, we know
how we all got to watch MasterSunday? Yes, think about bowling for
(13:01):
dollars? If you watch them onBowling for dollars, You probably do that
anyway, Probably every time you seehim, just for a tick or two.
Bowling for dollars probably rolls through yourbrainpan. But if it doesn't and
you don't know, you got noidea what I'm talking about. Just try
to imagine the great Vern Lunquist hostinga bowling show of just the average spare
(13:24):
guy and then enjoy his fine workon the Masters for the last time.
You think I could do the Mastersnext year? Maybe what do you think
I can do the Masters next year? I don't see why not looking for
do you want to play in thecall reporter? I mean, don't want
to play in it, but Ithe post. But I'm realistic. I
want to do I want to doBurn's job. But I'd also have to
(13:46):
tell Golf or mister Golf or BigGolf or whoever, Like, here's the
thing. I think you're a greatsport. Our image sucks. You think
the golf image sucks. Wear shorts, chill out a little bit, like,
let's just relax, upset A lotof people have a little fun.
(14:07):
All the traditional lists. Oh,we don't need to do that. We
need to invite everyone to the khakipants Brigade. They're gonna be mad at
you. No, when I'm callingthat golf and somebody hits a good one,
I'm and be like, it's agood golf shot. And when it
sucks and be like, God,that idiot screwed that up, and you're
like, what is that called?What is that? That's not professional?
But he sucked. It's a terribleshot. Yeah, get him a fireball.
(14:28):
You know what's really cool about golfbroadcasters is Amanda Ballionis has like a
monopoly on all of the networks,all of the golf tournaments. She is
always the girl asking questions and she'sreally good. But I'm like, how
do you do that? Like,how are you on every single tournament no
matter what network it's on. Youknow who I'm talking about. I think
(14:50):
you know if you saw her,because she's the only one doing it.
I don't watch a lot of golf. Oh she's cute, she's great.
Well, how is she on everysingle network? She must just be like
a contract or something. I don'tknow if she's doing the Masters right now.
I look up to her a lotbecause she's very good. She pulls.
Yeah, there she is. Shepulls a you know, personality out
of each of the guys, askgood questions, and she's everywhere. But
(15:15):
she's going to talk to Scotti Scheffler. She's cornered the market on female golf
broadcasters. It's pretty much her.That's neat. Yeah, I bet she'll
talk to Scotti Scheffler today. Scottiis currently leading what they're gonna name his
new baby ones that's born. Sheknows everything about him. I bet you
got name it, Scooter. Here'sthe favorite. Here's Burn lung Quist's favorite
story that he likes to tell.He was headed back to Dallas after a
(15:37):
Texas Texas A and M game.He pulled into a gas station in Fairfield,
got out of the car. He'sstill wearing the yellow blazer with ABC
on the front of it. Theattendant's noticed. The attendant noticed him,
and he said, excuse me,sir, Are you who I think you
(15:58):
are? And lune Was said,I sure, am, that's pretty cocky
already. So the guy called intohis office said, Rudy, get out
here. It's the bullying for dollars. Guying for dollars, the one thing
that he desperately wanted to not do. Yes, and one thing that he
told the Great Marty Hague that hewould not do well. That proves chick
(16:22):
hern right, doesn't it? Yeah, build the pool, shut out.
I'm sorry. You're gonna make somemoney off of this bad boy. The
money. Build a pool and moveon with your life. Yes, that's
it, man, I like that. I gotta go. Peace out,
Scotty Scheffler. Yeah, I am. It's hot out here, Scotty,
I don't like golf. Leading theMasters by one stroke, he is seven
(16:42):
under. Bryson das Chambeau and MaxHolma two strokes behind him. But Scotty's
still in the course. Max oakClub Halma, Okay, name my gosh,
Darcy slight him with that one.Scotty's still still on the course though
(17:03):
he's on eleven. He's got He'sgot room to end this day with a
two or three stroke lead if heplays well. How is he so good?
How does he win everything? Wheredo you think he eats? And
about shooting? Uh? What's inHighland Park? That's probably where he eats,
right, Yeah? The park cafeteria. Okay? Is that where he
goes to the cafeteria? Maybe maybehe likes that met Cosina over there,
(17:23):
he gets some some mambo taxis withMeredith, his wife. Yeah, I
bet he tears up the Mico chipsand salsa. It's just pretty cool.
Like the best golfer in the worldright now is just one of us,
one of I don't know if he'sone of us. He's a Dallas guy
and he's just cool. He's justchill, he's I don't know, he's
just a dude. Yeah, Idon't know if he's one of us,
(17:44):
though. Well, he's better thanall of us, of course, but
I'll just keep picking him say thathe's just a normal guy and he cruises
around Dallas and just cruising around Dallasa little bit. Ye, win the
Masters. He's Currently'll know, I'vebeen hanging around Dallas a little bit.
Yeah, he's currently gonna go techhis wedge from just outside the bunker.
He's gonna go ahead and putt fromthe fringe and he's gonna blow that thing
(18:06):
by the hole. Yeah, he'sgonna have a tough He's gonna have a
tough par putt coming up for ScottieScheffler. You think you can make that
par putt? Sure he can,Absolutely he can. Oh, it's kind
of far uh if you want,if you want a local story. In
the Mister Dallas segment, we havean update on Rashi Rice. Yeah yeah,
Chief's wide receiver who was driving realfast before they smooshed into a bunch
(18:30):
of cars breaking from six hours ago. M hm. Rashi Rice was driving
one hundred and nineteen miles an hourin the seconds before he caused a multi
vehicle crash that injured at least fourpeople, according to an arrest warrant Affid
David obtained by The Dallas Morning News. The warrant details injuries for at least
(18:51):
seven people, concluding a three yearold One driver who has hit suffered injuries
to her face, head, torsoand leg, and Pulls wrote she will
be rendered to a life of quotelimited mobility and sight wow while she seeks
treatment. Now I'm assuming that sheRice has insurance. It's gonna have to
pay for all of this crap.Otherwise he's gonna uh, he's gonna need
(19:14):
to keep playing real well and geta big second contract to pay the number
of people who are currently walking aroundin neck braces. He might need to
get a first contract after he getscut by the Chiefs. We want no
part of this playing football after this. Yeah, he's not gonna get cut
by the Chiefs. This is reallybad. You see the video. Yeah,
yeah, incredibly reckless. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's super
(19:37):
reckless. And then to just walkaway without checking inn, just cruise away
on seventy five. The walk offis what gets me. Yeah yeah,
yeah, I aways great, Idon't care who I hurt. And then
he's just gonna go out there andstart playing football again. For the Chiefs,
for sure, nothing happened. Yeahyeah, yeah. They don't have
any other good wide receivers, sothey need that to happen. There's a
lot of wide receivers you would loveto take a spot there are I would,
but it wouldn't be It wouldn't servethe Chiefs to bring me up that.
(20:02):
I mean, they tried to geta bunch of different wide receivers and
none of them worked out, andhe's the only one that did. So
yeah, he's like, he's notone of the best receivers in football,
but they were looking for literally anyonehe should not be. Yeah, he
was their second round pick last yearand he was the only receiver on that
team that was any good at football. So he'll be Okay, that's how
this works. Are you good atfootball? Is howards? Yeah? I
(20:27):
don't know, Like what is thelike? I don't know. I'm glad
that I don't have to like makelaws of what is the punishment for different
things? Because like, what washis intent? It was to drive fast
with his friends. And then it'slike, yeah, but the result of
that people he did it on Highwayseventy five. There were other people,
(20:48):
innocent people out there on the road, yet he put them in danger.
He did how many? How many? How long should he be in prison?
Mike? I can give at leasttwenty years. I like that.
It's my favorite thing to do whenanyone doesn't get me wrong. It's just
asked, Mike, how long youshould be imprisoning for? Man, he's
a tough joke. That's right,that's right. We're gonna get this world
(21:11):
squared away with me in charge.Yeah, I think twenty years. You

football coaching career and it'll be fine. Yeah, go around telling people what
he's sorry, what he did wrong, and don't you do what I did?
