Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
During the break, we had a couple people who wanted
to offer their gobble, and I needed to clear some
space so that you could mention. When you call in,
you're going to say the year this would have been,
so the year that it's locked in in your mind.
They might have been a junior, senior, It doesn't matter.
But just guess on the year and the athlete and
(00:25):
the school. I will assume it's football unless it's baseball
or basketball. Like if you say, I don't know what
year eighty one Roger Clemens, spring Woods, you don't have
to say that's baseball. But for most of them, you're
gonna have to tell me the sport. And we don't
have to know who they were. But they cannot have
gone on to be a superstar athlete. They just had
(00:49):
to be a legend then when you were growing up
that you looked up to. Did you just make noise

Speaker 6 (06:11):

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Hey Matt Wheaton's class of four out of Main Creek
High School?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
What don are you black?
Speaker 7 (06:46):

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Why didn't you call them black line?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It was busy?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You have the black line popping now, I guess huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
We've got a lot of black people listening, a lot
of black people, So who is this guy? Made couple
of times though there who was he was?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
He was?
Speaker 6 (07:05):
He was a power forward. I want to say. He
kind of played like a post position.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
He was about like six, sixth and.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Eighth grade type guy.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Was he your year?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He was a year before me, But all my friends
from the area, May Creek out here and Katie were
in his class.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know, don I submit that you will never hero
worship somebody like you did when you were about eight
years old, And for me, Jeff Granger was a year
behind me. Jeff Granger was best athlete to ever come
out of Orangeville and and maybe the best athlete to
ever come out of orange Jeff Granger was was a
was Southwest Conference, a strikeout leader, an honor heel hold
(07:46):
for the rest of his career because there's no Southwest Conference.
And he was a starting quarterback for the texta seting
them Aggie's and he was a great basketball player, great sprinter,
great athlete, you name it. But when I was a kid,
Andre Robertson played for the New York Yankees, and I
worshiped that guy. He played for West Arn Start, but
my dad worked with his whole family. He ended up
(08:08):
at DuPont. By the time it was all over the
whole Robertson your favorite athlete when you were growing up,
you hero worshiped this guy. Mine would have been Andre Robertson,
who was a starting shortstop at West Arn Start. I
think he came out in seventy six, so i'd have
been six years old. Played for the Yankees. He was
(08:31):
the starting shortstop on the eighty or eighty one Yankees
World Series team. He gets in a car crash during
the World Series and blows his shoulder. He starts like
the first game or two, and he's playing well. Late
night car crash, one car drove off side of the road.
(08:54):
Bucky dent replaces him for the World Series and Andre
never gets his job back. He ends up back at
the plant in Orange, and my dad said turned out
to be a great plant where everybody loved him. His
whole family, Harland. The Robertson family was this big family
in Orange, like brothers and uncles, and all of them
(09:14):
worked out at the plant, and all of them were
great athletes. Harland was big as a house, but he'd
been a great athlete himself. Well, Andre had a younger
brother named Roderick, and I will be man enough to admit,
when I was about nine years old, I asked for
Roderick's autograph. And Roderick was a high school junior or senior.
(09:35):
Like today, you'd laugh at somebody doing that, but I
worshiped sports stars. I lived for sports when I was
a kid. And Roderick ended up going to play for
the Phillies. He was in the Phillies system. I don't
know if he ever played on the field with the Phillies,
I don't know. But that guy, when you see a
guy that ends up going to play pro football, baseball,
(09:58):
you name it, on a high school field, they're like
a man among boys. I mean, they're just they're just
a cut abuff. They're just something else. I saw this kid,
Dylan Bell. His little brothers, Michael Bell. He'll play D
one football. So I saw Dylan Bell play the state
championship for SPC football last year. He was a tailback
(10:18):
and wide receiver. He's going to Georgia. They're not going
to red shirt him. He's going to play as a
freshman as a slot back. This is SPC. This is
not six's a football. Now, some of these kids are
going D one football. But to watch this kid what
he would do. I saw him break a kid's ankle
figuratively where he's running down the field and this free
(10:40):
safety knows this is a This guy is going to
be playing for Georgia next year, maybe in the national championship.
And this poor kid he gets down for a form
tackle the way they taught. He's got his head up,
he's got his legs under him, and Dylan Bell is
running right at him. And when he gets about two
(11:02):
to three yards away from him, he shucks one way,
he spends and leaves the poor guy. You know, you
know when you hug the air as you're Oh, I
felt for this kid.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I felt so bad for this kid because he ain't
playing college football. He's going to remember that, but he's
going to have good stories to tell twenty years from now.
All right, Denise, who was yours? Denise on the black line?
Go ahead?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
This is Chris Gilbert of Spring Branch sixty four sixty
five went onto ut.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh, okay, sorry, Olden Underwood, Channelview Texas.
Speaker 8 (11:51):

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I like when people say channel of you Texas, Oh
not the all of other ones. Okay, Janice, go.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
That Longview Lobo.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
James Street, Oh, I'm about sixty seven went on to play.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
With u Ke.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yes he did, Yes, he did.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm told that Darryl k Royle said, if not the finest,
one of the finest quarterbacks to ever play the game.
Darryl k Royle thought that he was the greatest thing.
I'm not really sure why he fizzled out, but supposedly
this is before I was born, but I studied the
Daryl k Royle era and quarterbacks of that time. Apparently
(12:41):
James Street was at one point a major like he
might he might have been the next Fran Tarkenton kind
of deal. Justin go ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In high school, we had a guy named Ty Demmer
played in high school one of the Heightsman, did you
go to Westlake? No, he went to San Antonio Southwest?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh did he? I caught up to him when he
was at BYU. But he ended up playing pro ball.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, And then I actually played played against the guy
that you worked with Indy Kalou directly over me.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I have told so Indy and I are doing this,
this fitness challenge. So uh every day. Indy played college football,
as you know, for you're from San Antoni, then.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I'm from San Antonio. I went to u of H.
I ended up playing football for you of H.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
What year.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Nine?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Did you know Dennis Kennedy? He would have been too
old for you to remember he played first.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I think a friend of mine, Halle Spencer, knows you play.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah. Holle played wide receiver, probably the last white kid
to play wide receiver for the for the Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a good little receiver for us.
And he actually funny stories. He gave me a eight
staples in the back of my head one night. I
had explained to my coach, why are starting gar got
stables in beg of his head thrown back up receiver.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Oh oh wow wow. Okay, So here's my Indi clue story.
So what are we at Wednesday? On Monday? I was
in the break room and Greg Cook, who played for
Green Bay Packers. Greg has retired. He's battling Parkinson's And
I'll tell you what I've never seen a guy fight
(14:24):
harder against a disease. I mean, this guy is determined.
But I mean, look, he's right guard for the Green
Bay Packers. He's in the Packer Hall of Fame. We're
talking Jerry Hornung Forrest Greg. I mean, you're talking about
legendary you know, kind of teams and toughness this guy has.
But anyway, so Greg Cook made the comment that my
(14:47):
shorts were too short and they look gay or CC
or whatever else. And I said, oh, what you want
is some of that, and I flexed my calf muscle.
True story. Ramon witnessed it, and Indy said, you got
calf implan and I said, no, I didn't. He goes, yes,
you did. I can tell you got calf implants. He
said it like, fortunately, dude, you got caffe implants. I
(15:09):
ran up down the hall. Indie thinks I have caffe
implants anything. So I come home, I show my kids
because they know. Indeed, I tell my wife everybody. Indie
thinks I have calf implants. That story's going to live
on for a very very long time. What I'm trying
to say is I've kind of built up my calfrom
On Sean, Go ahead, Bud.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Yeah, it's string up by toy about James Street and
Daryl Royle. The two of them were so intertwined as
a coach in quarterback that they are buried with ten
feet of each other at the Texas State Cemetery.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I did not know that. I did not know that.
So Street's son is a lawyer here in town, and
I think he's run for office a couple of times,
or he's run statewide maybe, But the problem is he's
a Democrat. So I've seen him a little league football
or you know, at peewee football and stuff, and everybody
loves the guy. But the problem is, if you're a Democrat,
(16:15):
everybody that loves everybody that I know that's not either
a crackhead or a municipal government employee or a union
member that doesn't realize that you know, the party's left
you behind. Everybody that I know votes Republican, and these
are people that wouldn't have been Republicans before Street was
probably more popular. I don't know the guy. He's about
(16:37):
my age, maybe a little younger from what I understand,
but a lot of people I know know him, and
I've been introduced to him and you know he's running
for whatever it was, district attorney. Well, I don't know you. Oh,
you're running in the wrong party. Okay, anyway, Jim, go ahead. Yes,
leister in a French high school. Oh wow, but he
played pro ball, Yes he did. Culture was Nosgar.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, I believe that Louis Kelcher.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
What he played for Buffalo Bills. Louis Kelcher was.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Frank High School Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
And then he played for Did he play for San Diego?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
San Diego?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's right, Louis Kelcher played for San Diego. I think
I think Bumfellows might have coach that team. Louis Kelcher
was a stud. Louis Kelcher was one of those guys
that would that would swill whiskey at halftime French High
School that became Westbrook. I love people, especially our audience.
So I told the story about Chance McLain having a
(17:33):
heritage film, and that was how we got talking about football,
because he and I spent all yesterday afternoon talking about
that person when you were growing up, you know, whether
it was Jeff the jet berger On or Tommy Peavey
or Wade Phillips or you name it, right, Andre Robertson.
Whoever that that All Star athlete Rusty Doyle, So and
(17:57):
so somebody out there had been wanting to do a
heritage film for their mom, but they just, you know,
we mean to do things, we just never get around
to making a call. So he calls me during the
break and he said, you're not gonna believe this. I
just got a call from this woman's kids and she's
(18:19):
ninety three years old, and they said, you know, she's
got all these great stories. We want to preserve these forever.
And I said, what's her name? And he said, oh,
I knew as soon as I sent down, I was
going to regret not asking call and get her name,
(18:39):
because her name is going to be something. They don't
name people anymore, like Mildred or Olive or Beatrice or something, right,
but they used to name people Beatrice for mom. All Right,
we all serious things we're going to talk about. But first,
who was that athlete when you were growing up? I
want you to tell the year that that person is
(18:59):
locked in your mind, the school and the athlete. Okay,
and it's better if they didn't go off to be
pro because I want you to remind yourself how at
that age, you thought that person was the coolest thing.
My brother, Chris, this is one of the most tird
things he ever did to me. I was in I
(19:20):
don't know if he would have been a senior, I
would have been like eighth grade and orange Field, Bobcats.
I wanted the autograph of the starting quarterback. Our star
running back was a guy named Tommy Peevee. Now Here's
what a small world this is. I went with Dan
(19:42):
Pasterini and Rob Lynch back to the Gulf Coast Hall
of Fame, which Ramona, I'm not lobbying for it, but
I will tell you of all the honors I have
won in my life, to be inducted in the Gulf
Coast Hall of Fame is the bucket. Like that is
the bigger than Radio Hall of Fame, bigger than number
(20:05):
nine on the National that Gulf Coast Hall of Fame.
And if it ever happens, God help you, because I'm
gonna buy the entire city of Port author out and
I'm moving. I'm bringing everybody I've ever met in my life,
and We're having the biggest party you have ever seen.
Wayne Tops is gonna play, Tracy Bird is gonna play,
it's gonna be bigger than my funeral. It's gonna be huge,
(20:27):
and I'm just gonna plant it and plan it. Pastorini's
gonna speak, Wade Phillips is gonna speak. I'm gonna have
a what do you call those things they did for
Tupac where they shoot it up against the wall. I'm
gonna have a hologram of bum Phillips there, just a
highlight of bum Phillips walking up and down the sideline.
But if he'll be pacing inside there, he's gonna be
wearing the baby blue polyester pants and the ba Baby
(20:50):
Boo blue pearl snap shirt, checkered shirt with the baby
blue hat and the baby blue shark skins that, as
he said, are smooth as a teacher legs he's gonna wear.
He's gonna be wearing his hat, although if we're inside,
he has to take his hat off because Mom always
say you take your hat off when you're inside. That's
why he always did. Anyway, So I don't want to
get carried away. Why were we talking about that Golf
(21:12):
Coast Hall of Fame? Yeah? But what about it? Were
we talking about? Anyway? If that ever happens, you know,
they got a billboard campaign from Louisiana to Houston the
Gulf Coast. Uh, bigger than radio and the athlete. Okay,
and it's better if they didn't go off to be
pro Oh so here's what Chris did to me. Uh
(21:34):
if the if they ever have a billboard campaign from
Louisiana all the way back to Houston and it says, uh, Michael, congratulations,
Michael Barry inducted into the Gulf Coast Hall of Fame.
Just know this, I paid for those myself. They didn't
do that to honor me. I actually paid for those myself,
and I am unashamed about it. It'll be, it'll be.
(21:56):
I'm gonna buy up every board from BUCkies. I'm gonna
call John and j g I Outdoors is just give
me every board from Louisiana to Houston, so that everybody
coming from Orange to Houston for sporting events or doctor's
appointments is the two reasons people come to Houston. We'll
see congratulations Michael Barry, and you won't even know that
I paid for it. But I'm admitting it right now.
I paid for it. I got there, I did it.
(22:18):
It's done. I want you to know about it, and
that's gonna be there for a while. No, no, don't,
don't wipe your hands of it, because it's gonna the
boards will stay up year round. They'll just it'll be
constantly like five years in. Didn't he get I thought
he got in years ago. Oh he's had the boards
up for five years. And when the boards get tired
and a little bit faded, I'm gonna have new new
vinyls printed. I'm gonna I'm gonna call over my nice
(22:39):
lady at JG I, who's from Beaumont, and I'm gonna
tell her just every three months, just replace the vinyl
with new Maybe we'll have updated photos. We'll do. Yeah,
it's it's gonna be on. It's Yes, it's definitely gonna
be on. Jay. Who was that for you?
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Nineteen seventy seven Dickoson, Texas the only state championship football
starting quarterback Donny Little Also he was the first black
starting quarterback for UT. Andre Ware comes in second, even
though he has a heisman.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Andre's a great guy. You know what's funny, Donny Little?
Do you say seventy seven.
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Seven seven state championship? Dickson?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, he went to UT starting in seventy eight eight.
No he's not. He's not the first black quarterback because
University of Houston had a guy that became a pastor
and I know him, God dog it.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
He was the first starting quarter black quarterback.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
For UT Okay, for UT but not Southwest Conference because
in seventy eight, because he wouldn't have started his freshman year.
Seventy eight, UH had a black quarterback that took that
They won the Southwest Conference championship. I'm almost positive. And
they had a quarterback who could who could?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
He?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
He threw like Warren Moon. And I don't say that
just because Warn Moon was a black quarterback. He had
a beautiful tight spiral and he was a running quarterback.
You know, the coaches didn't want the quarterbacks running back
then and that was the knock on the black quarterbacks
as they would tuck it and run. They didn't want
them doing that. Now they all do that. Even Tom
Radio run for a yard when he needs to. What
(24:11):
was his name, I'm going to think of his name
in just a minute.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Yeah, I don't doubt that. But he was the first
starting black quarterback for UT.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But I want you to know about this guy back
in those days, black guys didn't quarterback like that really
didn't start Warren Moon. In fact, Warren Moon being black
is why he coming out of was it Washington or
Washington State is why he didn't get drafted and had
to go to the Canadian League. You didn't have black quarterbacks.
Doug Williams kind of blew open the door for Tampa Bay.
(24:43):
The thought was that blacks weren't smart enough and that
they wanted to run. That was the perception. You didn't
have black quarterbacks back in those days. Ever. Yeah, what
Doug Williams? What changed everything? I loved Doug Williams the
Cowboys once to beat them thirty eight to nothing in
the playoff game. Never forget that.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Michael Barry, excuse me, Shirley que I saw an old
lady on the news and everybody stand up when she
walking the door?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Is she the head of the nursing home? You mean
what we was just watching?
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Uh?
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Oh, dog going to see you is just literally ignorant.
I need me a cocktail for this. You know that
was the Queen of England girl. Yes, she's ninety something
years old. She older than Momo is and uh you
heard that?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Uh huh?

had been on that job long when I've been living.
She know what she doing.
Speaker 13 (26:40):
She wanted these people that she don't speak out of turn.
She don't tell nothing nothing that nobody is supposed to
hear she a good Christian woman and uh oh, that
sounds a lot like little Red Berry.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
I understand that her job revolved ride, you know, all
the anthems of the world. Whenever they play for her.
She don't have to sing her. She do not have
a check on account the driver license.

However, she do drive.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Sure all right?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
On the black line? John? What you got.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
F I played with food culture.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And his best football player I played against.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
With ever Louis Kelcher was a rock star. Louis. I
think Bubba Smith's from Beaumont too, But Louis Kelcher when
I was growing up, was one of those guys that
we take a lot of pride in the Golden Triangle.
He was one of those guys that you knew all
his details. You had his playing card, Louis Kelcher. That
was a man's man. That was a guy to take
(28:26):
a can or bottle or anything else and crush it
in his hand. I mean that guy that was back
when football players were rugged tough. You think about this,
You go back and watch a highlight film on Pastorini
and you see the shots they took. They don't take
shots like that anymore. The reason he hadn't have a
flat jacket is because they would spear them with their
helmet and still play with broken with crack ribs. By
(28:47):
the way, it was, Danny Davis was the black quarterback.
I was trying to remember. Who went on to be
a pastor here in the third ward. He may still be,
but Danny Davis back in the day was probably to
my knowledge, was the first black quarterback in the Southwest Conference.
That may be true, and that was when the Cougar's
late seventies seventy eight, seventy nine eighty. The Cougars were
(29:08):
as good as UT and better than A and M.
A and M wasn't a powerhouse back then, but UT was.
That was the Todd Dodge era. I guess he came
a little bit after Earl came. Anyway, I got distracted
on that. But Danny Davis and the glory days of
the University of Houston. The first black player to play
(29:30):
in the Southwest Conference. Ramon, do you know who it is?
Also from Beaumont. Thank you, Jerry Levias. Jerry Levas. Jerry
Levias owns so many records. First, this top this, fastest,
disc greatest, this. He was still right around up until
a few years ago. Because I would go to I
got to be the speaker at the MC, not the
(29:52):
speaker the MC at a Touchdown Club event honoring Hayden
Fry and Jerry Levas. Came because Hayden Fry was at
SMU and he brought the first black college football player
to the Southwest Conference. Hayden Fry is famous for being
the IOWA head coach, but he was when he was
at SMU. He brought Jerry Levias there and I mean
(30:16):
it was national news. It was a really big deal
back then.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Greg, you're up, yeah, Michael Marcus dupre nineteen eighty three
bis to Bow, Oklahoma University under Berry Switzer, was a
freshman starter, ran for two hudred and thirty nine guards.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Where did you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Got it?
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Where did Marcus Dupre go to?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Heights, Mississippi? Wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Well?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
No?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
He I really don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
That's part of his history, Michael. But I know he
had a fall out with Barry Switzer at Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Have you seen the thirty for thirty on that?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh my god, Greg, go home today and go to
the already for ESPN thirty for thirty. It's the best
thirty for thirty they ever did. No questions asked. Marcus
Dupree was sitting at home, three hundred pounds in his
mom's house in small shotgun Shack, Mississippi, and he decides,
(31:19):
you know what, I'm gonna make one more run at it.
Marcus Duprix arguably could have been the greatest. Was he
was Walter Payton, you know, quality good and he's you know,
twenty three, twenty four years old, fat as a hog.
I mean he's three hundred pounds or more. And he decides,
you know what, I'm gonna make one more run at it.
So his mom had this little shack in the back
(31:40):
like a woodshed, had shag green carpet, and it had
an old fashioned stationary bicycle. He starts on that thing.
He loses one hundred pounds. He gets into the best
shape of his life. He goes to play for the
La Breakers, which was in the USFL He plays for
(32:00):
a season and he walks away, says, I've done it.
And now he's back, fat as a hog again, driving
a driving a trash truck for the city of you know, Selma,
I don't know, some town in some little town in Mississippi.
And he's happy as he can be. But it's just
great story of this this man's incredible comeback. And he
in Switzerland just they just couldn't get along. Let me
(32:22):
get one more in here, Kyle, you're up, Kyle go Yeah, Okay,
I got a two for it.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Bernard Smith and Rock Cartwright both went to Conroe High School,
graduated in nineteen ninety eight. Rock Cartwright went on to
play for the Redskins. I'm allowed to say that.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, who did Bernard Smith go to?
Speaker 11 (32:43):
So Bernard Smith went to the University at texted and
he transferred to u of H when Clyde Drutchler
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Was coaching, so he shout out a year
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
During the break, we had a couple people who wanted
to offer their gobble, and I needed to clear some
space so that you could mention. When you call in,
you're going to say the year this would have been,
so the year that it's locked in in your mind.
They might have been a junior, senior, It doesn't matter.
But just guess on the year and the athlete and
(00:25):
the school. I will assume it's football unless it's baseball
or basketball. Like if you say, I don't know what
year eighty one Roger Clemens, spring Woods, you don't have
to say that's baseball. But for most of them, you're
gonna have to tell me the sport. And we don't
have to know who they were. But they cannot have
gone on to be a superstar athlete. They just had
(00:49):
to be a legend then when you were growing up
that you looked up to. Did you just make noise
that went in my ear? You've really by the way,
I got about twenty five mests just during the break,
you run. We can hear Ramone, you know, we can
hear Ramone talking right now?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You know we can hear him. Yes, part of his
contract is ever so often he gets to talk. It's
arguing over whatever. Sounds like. All right, So here were
the gobbles we got during the break. That was the
(01:26):
best one in that dude draft. That kuone. You didn't
record me talking, you goofball. I'm asking him to make
different ones. I wanted a turkey under distress. Oh you ruined,
old hold No, not turkey in a dress. Turkey under distress,
(01:47):
Turkey in duress. All right, it's a lightning round. I
want your Oh no, no, it's not do this. This
is good?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You remember the deal the year the app lead the
school on the black line. Tracy go, oh that might
be Tritia.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Go ahead, Kim Smith Lee High School, Houston. He graduated
in seventy five, went to Arkansas and that was it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What position?
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Bring that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
White guy? Yeah, seventy five? Don go ahead.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Hey Matt Wheaton's class of four out of Main Creek
High School?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
What don are you black?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
I am?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Why didn't you call them black line?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It was busy?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You have the black line popping now, I guess huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
We've got a lot of black people listening, a lot
of black people, So who is this guy? Made couple
of times though there who was he was?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
He was?
Speaker 6 (07:05):
He was a power forward. I want to say. He
kind of played like a post position.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
He was about like six, sixth and.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Eighth grade type guy.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Was he your year?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He was a year before me, But all my friends
from the area, May Creek out here and Katie were
in his class.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know, don I submit that you will never hero
worship somebody like you did when you were about eight
years old, And for me, Jeff Granger was a year
behind me. Jeff Granger was best athlete to ever come
out of Orangeville and and maybe the best athlete to
ever come out of orange Jeff Granger was was a
was Southwest Conference, a strikeout leader, an honor heel hold
(07:46):
for the rest of his career because there's no Southwest Conference.
And he was a starting quarterback for the texta seting
them Aggie's and he was a great basketball player, great sprinter,
great athlete, you name it. But when I was a kid,
Andre Robertson played for the New York Yankees, and I
worshiped that guy. He played for West Arn Start, but
my dad worked with his whole family. He ended up
(08:08):
at DuPont. By the time it was all over the
whole Robertson your favorite athlete when you were growing up,
you hero worshiped this guy. Mine would have been Andre Robertson,
who was a starting shortstop at West Arn Start. I
think he came out in seventy six, so i'd have
been six years old. Played for the Yankees. He was
(08:31):
the starting shortstop on the eighty or eighty one Yankees
World Series team. He gets in a car crash during
the World Series and blows his shoulder. He starts like
the first game or two, and he's playing well. Late
night car crash, one car drove off side of the road.
(08:54):
Bucky dent replaces him for the World Series and Andre
never gets his job back. He ends up back at
the plant in Orange, and my dad said turned out
to be a great plant where everybody loved him. His
whole family, Harland. The Robertson family was this big family
in Orange, like brothers and uncles, and all of them
(09:14):
worked out at the plant, and all of them were
great athletes. Harland was big as a house, but he'd
been a great athlete himself. Well, Andre had a younger
brother named Roderick, and I will be man enough to admit,
when I was about nine years old, I asked for
Roderick's autograph. And Roderick was a high school junior or senior.
(09:35):
Like today, you'd laugh at somebody doing that, but I
worshiped sports stars. I lived for sports when I was
a kid. And Roderick ended up going to play for
the Phillies. He was in the Phillies system. I don't
know if he ever played on the field with the Phillies,
I don't know. But that guy, when you see a
guy that ends up going to play pro football, baseball,
(09:58):
you name it, on a high school field, they're like
a man among boys. I mean, they're just they're just
a cut abuff. They're just something else. I saw this kid,
Dylan Bell. His little brothers, Michael Bell. He'll play D
one football. So I saw Dylan Bell play the state
championship for SPC football last year. He was a tailback
(10:18):
and wide receiver. He's going to Georgia. They're not going
to red shirt him. He's going to play as a
freshman as a slot back. This is SPC. This is
not six's a football. Now, some of these kids are
going D one football. But to watch this kid what
he would do. I saw him break a kid's ankle
figuratively where he's running down the field and this free
(10:40):
safety knows this is a This guy is going to
be playing for Georgia next year, maybe in the national championship.
And this poor kid he gets down for a form
tackle the way they taught. He's got his head up,
he's got his legs under him, and Dylan Bell is
running right at him. And when he gets about two
(11:02):
to three yards away from him, he shucks one way,
he spends and leaves the poor guy. You know, you
know when you hug the air as you're Oh, I
felt for this kid.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I felt so bad for this kid because he ain't
playing college football. He's going to remember that, but he's
going to have good stories to tell twenty years from now.
All right, Denise, who was yours? Denise on the black line?
Go ahead?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
This is Chris Gilbert of Spring Branch sixty four sixty
five went onto ut.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
All right, she called on the black line. But you
know what, Jim, go ahead, Jim go ahead. Hello, yeah,
you're up, Jim go ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh, okay, sorry, Olden Underwood, Channelview Texas.
Speaker 8 (11:51):

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I like when people say channel of you Texas, Oh
not the all of other ones. Okay, Janice, go.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
That Longview Lobo.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
James Street, Oh, I'm about sixty seven went on to play.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
With u Ke.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yes he did, Yes, he did.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm told that Darryl k Royle said, if not the finest,
one of the finest quarterbacks to ever play the game.
Darryl k Royle thought that he was the greatest thing.
I'm not really sure why he fizzled out, but supposedly
this is before I was born, but I studied the
Daryl k Royle era and quarterbacks of that time. Apparently
(12:41):
James Street was at one point a major like he
might he might have been the next Fran Tarkenton kind
of deal. Justin go ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In high school, we had a guy named Ty Demmer
played in high school one of the Heightsman, did you
go to Westlake? No, he went to San Antonio Southwest?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh did he? I caught up to him when he
was at BYU. But he ended up playing pro ball.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, And then I actually played played against the guy
that you worked with Indy Kalou directly over me.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I have told so Indy and I are doing this,
this fitness challenge. So uh every day. Indy played college football,
as you know, for you're from San Antoni, then.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I'm from San Antonio. I went to u of H.
I ended up playing football for you of H.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
What year.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Nine?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Did you know Dennis Kennedy? He would have been too
old for you to remember he played first.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I think a friend of mine, Halle Spencer, knows you play.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah. Holle played wide receiver, probably the last white kid
to play wide receiver for the for the Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a good little receiver for us.
And he actually funny stories. He gave me a eight
staples in the back of my head one night. I
had explained to my coach, why are starting gar got
stables in beg of his head thrown back up receiver.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Oh oh wow wow. Okay, So here's my Indi clue story.
So what are we at Wednesday? On Monday? I was
in the break room and Greg Cook, who played for
Green Bay Packers. Greg has retired. He's battling Parkinson's And
I'll tell you what I've never seen a guy fight
(14:24):
harder against a disease. I mean, this guy is determined.
But I mean, look, he's right guard for the Green
Bay Packers. He's in the Packer Hall of Fame. We're
talking Jerry Hornung Forrest Greg. I mean, you're talking about
legendary you know, kind of teams and toughness this guy has.
But anyway, so Greg Cook made the comment that my
(14:47):
shorts were too short and they look gay or CC
or whatever else. And I said, oh, what you want
is some of that, and I flexed my calf muscle.
True story. Ramon witnessed it, and Indy said, you got
calf implan and I said, no, I didn't. He goes, yes,
you did. I can tell you got calf implants. He
said it like, fortunately, dude, you got caffe implants. I
(15:09):
ran up down the hall. Indie thinks I have caffe
implants anything. So I come home, I show my kids
because they know. Indeed, I tell my wife everybody. Indie
thinks I have calf implants. That story's going to live
on for a very very long time. What I'm trying
to say is I've kind of built up my calfrom
On Sean, Go ahead, Bud.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Yeah, it's string up by toy about James Street and
Daryl Royle. The two of them were so intertwined as
a coach in quarterback that they are buried with ten
feet of each other at the Texas State Cemetery.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I did not know that. I did not know that.
So Street's son is a lawyer here in town, and
I think he's run for office a couple of times,
or he's run statewide maybe, But the problem is he's
a Democrat. So I've seen him a little league football
or you know, at peewee football and stuff, and everybody
loves the guy. But the problem is, if you're a Democrat,
(16:15):
everybody that loves everybody that I know that's not either
a crackhead or a municipal government employee or a union
member that doesn't realize that you know, the party's left
you behind. Everybody that I know votes Republican, and these
are people that wouldn't have been Republicans before Street was
probably more popular. I don't know the guy. He's about
(16:37):
my age, maybe a little younger from what I understand,
but a lot of people I know know him, and
I've been introduced to him and you know he's running
for whatever it was, district attorney. Well, I don't know you. Oh,
you're running in the wrong party. Okay, anyway, Jim, go ahead. Yes,
leister in a French high school. Oh wow, but he
played pro ball, Yes he did. Culture was Nosgar.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, I believe that Louis Kelcher.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
What he played for Buffalo Bills. Louis Kelcher was.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Frank High School Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
And then he played for Did he play for San Diego?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
San Diego?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's right, Louis Kelcher played for San Diego. I think
I think Bumfellows might have coach that team. Louis Kelcher
was a stud. Louis Kelcher was one of those guys
that would that would swill whiskey at halftime French High
School that became Westbrook. I love people, especially our audience.
So I told the story about Chance McLain having a
(17:33):
heritage film, and that was how we got talking about football,
because he and I spent all yesterday afternoon talking about
that person when you were growing up, you know, whether
it was Jeff the jet berger On or Tommy Peavey
or Wade Phillips or you name it, right, Andre Robertson.
Whoever that that All Star athlete Rusty Doyle, So and
(17:57):
so somebody out there had been wanting to do a
heritage film for their mom, but they just, you know,
we mean to do things, we just never get around
to making a call. So he calls me during the
break and he said, you're not gonna believe this. I
just got a call from this woman's kids and she's
(18:19):
ninety three years old, and they said, you know, she's
got all these great stories. We want to preserve these forever.
And I said, what's her name? And he said, oh,
I knew as soon as I sent down, I was
going to regret not asking call and get her name,
(18:39):
because her name is going to be something. They don't
name people anymore, like Mildred or Olive or Beatrice or something, right,
but they used to name people Beatrice for mom. All Right,
we all serious things we're going to talk about. But first,
who was that athlete when you were growing up? I
want you to tell the year that that person is
(18:59):
locked in your mind, the school and the athlete. Okay,
and it's better if they didn't go off to be
pro because I want you to remind yourself how at
that age, you thought that person was the coolest thing.
My brother, Chris, this is one of the most tird
things he ever did to me. I was in I
(19:20):
don't know if he would have been a senior, I
would have been like eighth grade and orange Field, Bobcats.
I wanted the autograph of the starting quarterback. Our star
running back was a guy named Tommy Peevee. Now Here's
what a small world this is. I went with Dan
(19:42):
Pasterini and Rob Lynch back to the Gulf Coast Hall
of Fame, which Ramona, I'm not lobbying for it, but
I will tell you of all the honors I have
won in my life, to be inducted in the Gulf
Coast Hall of Fame is the bucket. Like that is
the bigger than Radio Hall of Fame, bigger than number
(20:05):
nine on the National that Gulf Coast Hall of Fame.
And if it ever happens, God help you, because I'm
gonna buy the entire city of Port author out and
I'm moving. I'm bringing everybody I've ever met in my life,
and We're having the biggest party you have ever seen.
Wayne Tops is gonna play, Tracy Bird is gonna play,
it's gonna be bigger than my funeral. It's gonna be huge,
(20:27):
and I'm just gonna plant it and plan it. Pastorini's
gonna speak, Wade Phillips is gonna speak. I'm gonna have
a what do you call those things they did for
Tupac where they shoot it up against the wall. I'm
gonna have a hologram of bum Phillips there, just a
highlight of bum Phillips walking up and down the sideline.
But if he'll be pacing inside there, he's gonna be
wearing the baby blue polyester pants and the ba Baby
(20:50):
Boo blue pearl snap shirt, checkered shirt with the baby
blue hat and the baby blue shark skins that, as
he said, are smooth as a teacher legs he's gonna wear.
He's gonna be wearing his hat, although if we're inside,
he has to take his hat off because Mom always
say you take your hat off when you're inside. That's
why he always did. Anyway, So I don't want to
get carried away. Why were we talking about that Golf
(21:12):
Coast Hall of Fame? Yeah? But what about it? Were
we talking about? Anyway? If that ever happens, you know,
they got a billboard campaign from Louisiana to Houston the
Gulf Coast. Uh, bigger than radio and the athlete. Okay,
and it's better if they didn't go off to be
pro Oh so here's what Chris did to me. Uh
(21:34):
if the if they ever have a billboard campaign from
Louisiana all the way back to Houston and it says, uh, Michael, congratulations,
Michael Barry inducted into the Gulf Coast Hall of Fame.
Just know this, I paid for those myself. They didn't
do that to honor me. I actually paid for those myself,
and I am unashamed about it. It'll be, it'll be.
(21:56):
I'm gonna buy up every board from BUCkies. I'm gonna
call John and j g I Outdoors is just give
me every board from Louisiana to Houston, so that everybody
coming from Orange to Houston for sporting events or doctor's
appointments is the two reasons people come to Houston. We'll
see congratulations Michael Barry, and you won't even know that
I paid for it. But I'm admitting it right now.
I paid for it. I got there, I did it.
(22:18):
It's done. I want you to know about it, and
that's gonna be there for a while. No, no, don't,
don't wipe your hands of it, because it's gonna the
boards will stay up year round. They'll just it'll be
constantly like five years in. Didn't he get I thought
he got in years ago. Oh he's had the boards
up for five years. And when the boards get tired
and a little bit faded, I'm gonna have new new
vinyls printed. I'm gonna I'm gonna call over my nice
(22:39):
lady at JG I, who's from Beaumont, and I'm gonna
tell her just every three months, just replace the vinyl
with new Maybe we'll have updated photos. We'll do. Yeah,
it's it's gonna be on. It's Yes, it's definitely gonna
be on. Jay. Who was that for you?
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Nineteen seventy seven Dickoson, Texas the only state championship football
starting quarterback Donny Little Also he was the first black
starting quarterback for UT. Andre Ware comes in second, even
though he has a heisman.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Andre's a great guy. You know what's funny, Donny Little?
Do you say seventy seven.
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Seven seven state championship? Dickson?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, he went to UT starting in seventy eight eight.
No he's not. He's not the first black quarterback because
University of Houston had a guy that became a pastor
and I know him, God dog it.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
He was the first starting quarter black quarterback.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
For UT Okay, for UT but not Southwest Conference because
in seventy eight, because he wouldn't have started his freshman year.
Seventy eight, UH had a black quarterback that took that
They won the Southwest Conference championship. I'm almost positive. And
they had a quarterback who could who could?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
He?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
He threw like Warren Moon. And I don't say that
just because Warn Moon was a black quarterback. He had
a beautiful tight spiral and he was a running quarterback.
You know, the coaches didn't want the quarterbacks running back
then and that was the knock on the black quarterbacks
as they would tuck it and run. They didn't want
them doing that. Now they all do that. Even Tom
Radio run for a yard when he needs to. What
(24:11):
was his name, I'm going to think of his name
in just a minute.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Yeah, I don't doubt that. But he was the first
starting black quarterback for UT.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But I want you to know about this guy back
in those days, black guys didn't quarterback like that really
didn't start Warren Moon. In fact, Warren Moon being black
is why he coming out of was it Washington or
Washington State is why he didn't get drafted and had
to go to the Canadian League. You didn't have black quarterbacks.
Doug Williams kind of blew open the door for Tampa Bay.
(24:43):
The thought was that blacks weren't smart enough and that
they wanted to run. That was the perception. You didn't
have black quarterbacks back in those days. Ever. Yeah, what
Doug Williams? What changed everything? I loved Doug Williams the
Cowboys once to beat them thirty eight to nothing in
the playoff game. Never forget that.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Michael Barry, excuse me, Shirley que I saw an old
lady on the news and everybody stand up when she
walking the door?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Is she the head of the nursing home? You mean
what we was just watching?
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Uh?
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Oh, dog going to see you is just literally ignorant.
I need me a cocktail for this. You know that
was the Queen of England girl. Yes, she's ninety something
years old. She older than Momo is and uh you
heard that?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Who?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Dog? Is that do it by?
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Ooh, I won't know, Polly, oh girl, I don't know
why I was worried about that, said next to old
lady lady, well, what her name is missus Dormant dormond
or something like that. That's her dogs. That's uh, what's
the one? Her name is Samantha, and the other one
is missus Rose. That I like Miss Rosi because she
(26:00):
old and cripple up and stuff. She don't bother nobody.
She ain't got time for nothing. She stay asleep.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But miss Samanth and I she got here and talk
to you. Did you ever meet Samantha? I play with her? Yes,
I'm sure she enjoyed that. Now, where's my drink? At?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (26:15):
Here goes what I was talking about before I was
so as megan her the interrupted, Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Old that lady with the head upside her head? Oh yes,
thank you.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
I believe her name is Elizabeth Regina Windsor the second.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I believe that's how she signed her name. Now, she
had been on that job long when I've been living.
She know what she doing.
Speaker 13 (26:40):
She wanted these people that she don't speak out of turn.
She don't tell nothing nothing that nobody is supposed to
hear she a good Christian woman and uh oh, that
sounds a lot like little Red Berry.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
I understand that her job revolved ride, you know, all
the anthems of the world. Whenever they play for her.
She don't have to sing her. She do not have
a check on account the driver license.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
However, she do drive.
Speaker 7 (27:05):

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Sure all right?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
On the black line? John? What you got.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
F I played with food culture.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And his best football player I played against.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
With ever Louis Kelcher was a rock star. Louis. I
think Bubba Smith's from Beaumont too, But Louis Kelcher when
I was growing up, was one of those guys that
we take a lot of pride in the Golden Triangle.
He was one of those guys that you knew all
his details. You had his playing card, Louis Kelcher. That
was a man's man. That was a guy to take
(28:26):
a can or bottle or anything else and crush it
in his hand. I mean that guy that was back
when football players were rugged tough. You think about this,
You go back and watch a highlight film on Pastorini
and you see the shots they took. They don't take
shots like that anymore. The reason he hadn't have a
flat jacket is because they would spear them with their
helmet and still play with broken with crack ribs. By
(28:47):
the way, it was, Danny Davis was the black quarterback.
I was trying to remember. Who went on to be
a pastor here in the third ward. He may still be,
but Danny Davis back in the day was probably to
my knowledge, was the first black quarterback in the Southwest Conference.
That may be true, and that was when the Cougar's
late seventies seventy eight, seventy nine eighty. The Cougars were
(29:08):
as good as UT and better than A and M.
A and M wasn't a powerhouse back then, but UT was.
That was the Todd Dodge era. I guess he came
a little bit after Earl came. Anyway, I got distracted
on that. But Danny Davis and the glory days of
the University of Houston. The first black player to play
(29:30):
in the Southwest Conference. Ramon, do you know who it is?
Also from Beaumont. Thank you, Jerry Levias. Jerry Levas. Jerry
Levias owns so many records. First, this top this, fastest,
disc greatest, this. He was still right around up until
a few years ago. Because I would go to I
got to be the speaker at the MC, not the
(29:52):
speaker the MC at a Touchdown Club event honoring Hayden
Fry and Jerry Levas. Came because Hayden Fry was at
SMU and he brought the first black college football player
to the Southwest Conference. Hayden Fry is famous for being
the IOWA head coach, but he was when he was
at SMU. He brought Jerry Levias there and I mean
(30:16):
it was national news. It was a really big deal
back then.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Greg, you're up, yeah, Michael Marcus dupre nineteen eighty three
bis to Bow, Oklahoma University under Berry Switzer, was a
freshman starter, ran for two hudred and thirty nine guards.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Where did you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Got it?
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Where did Marcus Dupre go to?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Heights, Mississippi? Wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Well?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
No?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
He I really don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
That's part of his history, Michael. But I know he
had a fall out with Barry Switzer at Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Have you seen the thirty for thirty on that?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh my god, Greg, go home today and go to
the already for ESPN thirty for thirty. It's the best
thirty for thirty they ever did. No questions asked. Marcus
Dupree was sitting at home, three hundred pounds in his
mom's house in small shotgun Shack, Mississippi, and he decides,
(31:19):
you know what, I'm gonna make one more run at it.
Marcus Duprix arguably could have been the greatest. Was he
was Walter Payton, you know, quality good and he's you know,
twenty three, twenty four years old, fat as a hog.
I mean he's three hundred pounds or more. And he decides,
you know what, I'm gonna make one more run at it.
So his mom had this little shack in the back
(31:40):
like a woodshed, had shag green carpet, and it had
an old fashioned stationary bicycle. He starts on that thing.
He loses one hundred pounds. He gets into the best
shape of his life. He goes to play for the
La Breakers, which was in the USFL He plays for
(32:00):
a season and he walks away, says, I've done it.
And now he's back, fat as a hog again, driving
a driving a trash truck for the city of you know, Selma,
I don't know, some town in some little town in Mississippi.
And he's happy as he can be. But it's just
great story of this this man's incredible comeback. And he
in Switzerland just they just couldn't get along. Let me
(32:22):
get one more in here, Kyle, you're up, Kyle go Yeah, Okay,
I got a two for it.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Bernard Smith and Rock Cartwright both went to Conroe High School,
graduated in nineteen ninety eight. Rock Cartwright went on to
play for the Redskins. I'm allowed to say that.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, who did Bernard Smith go to?
Speaker 11 (32:43):
So Bernard Smith went to the University at texted and
he transferred to u of H when Clyde Drutchler
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Was coaching, so he shout out a year
