00:00But we have to get here first.
00:02And I'm going to make an executive decision on the show as one of the clear leaders here.
00:09I'm going to make an executive decision.
00:13I know the music thing has been an issue here as we've made the move to 95.7 The Fan.
00:18But Tyler, this is all on me.
00:22Everything that we are coming back from, anytime you hear music as we come back from break,
00:27it's Dolly damn party.
00:28We have lost Dolly Parton, and if it's an issue, you can come to Clint.
00:36I'll take it.
00:36We have lost Dolly Parton.
00:38I'm just saying.
00:39I'm standing shoulder to shoulder with you.
00:41You're damn right.
00:42I'm in on this.
00:43Absolutely.
00:44We have lost.
00:44If you missed it, we lost Dolly Parton.
00:4680 years old.
00:48Damn it.
00:49Prayers up, baby.
00:51Prayers up to one of the greatest.
00:53Can I say we lost the legend?
00:54Absolutely.
00:55Last time I brought up a female.
00:57This is why you don't throw Shania Twain in a legend, because when you lose a legend like
01:01this, it's really one of the greatest.
01:03We lost in all time.
01:04Legend is reserved for this gal right here.
01:07No.
01:07Shania can be a legend.
01:09Dolly is like the legend.
01:10You don't make this about anything, but Dolly.
01:13I can't be hating on Shania amidst this news.
01:16I mean, I know some folks around here use the term legend a little bit loosely, but we're
01:20talking about country music, greatest of all time.
01:23Dolly Parton is an absolute legend.
01:25Prayers up.
01:26I did not even realize, boys.
01:28I knew she was fighting a little something, but I did not realize that we were literally
01:34on the verge.
01:35Man.
01:37I don't know why.
01:38And I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and act like, boy, I have been banging out
01:43the Dolly Parton.
01:44Now, I will say, she stopped me in my tracks when I saw her.
01:48She stopped several people in her tracks, not just with her music.
01:50I remember your magazine.
01:51I remember your dad's magazine.
01:53It's a great call, man.
01:54Great call.
01:55That's one of the top seven things I thought about.
01:58You wrote some big urns playboy collection that had Dolly on it.
02:03But I remember she performed at the Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime.
02:10Cowboys, I don't know, Cowboys Chiefs, I think maybe.
02:13And I was like, oh, let me watch this.
02:15And everybody in the house, everybody in the house watched it.
02:20And it was like, dang, there's Dolly.
02:22I think when Beyonce did her album and she did the cover of Jolene and it came out some
02:28more there.
02:29But this was one I was like, damn.
02:33Even though I didn't grow up listening to Dolly Parton, you know what I mean?
02:37It's not like the Isley Brothers that was always playing in the house.
02:41But you know, like, this is a big-time legend.
02:46This is a big-time loss that kind of, like, that's like American fabric type of loss.
02:54Damn.
02:55Dolly Parton.
02:55Text him in.
02:56713-572-4610.
02:58YouTube and Twitch your favorite Dolly Parton song.
03:01That's all we're doing.
03:02We're doing Dolly every time we come back.
03:03The boss walked through.
03:04Thumbs up.
03:05Double thumbs up.
03:05Yeah, he came in here and gave me permission.
03:07We're good to go with Dolly.
03:08Man, rightfully so, man.
03:10R.I.P.
03:11Legend.
03:12Tyler, I told Tyler, I said, damn, Tyler, we heard it from Reggie.
03:17I guarantee you, Astro Granny's, Astro Granny's.
03:20He had to go check on Mom.
03:21I'm telling you, my mom.
03:22Oh, yeah.
03:23Now, Linda Ronstadt, is she dead?
03:25I don't think she's dead yet, is she?
03:26I don't even know who that is.
03:27I'm not familiar.
03:28I mean, if she dies, I think old Linda Sterner, old Astro Granny may really go into a little
03:33depression.
03:34But Dolly's going to hit her.
03:35Ain't no doubt about it, man.
03:36Yeah, that was the first call I made.
03:37It was my mother.
03:38I had to make sure she was okay emotionally.
03:40She loves her some Dolly, man.
03:42R.I.P.
03:43Tough one.
03:44Dolly Parton, 80.
03:4580 years old.
03:46Passed away.
03:47Well, I'd say call Astro Granny and break the news to her, but I'm scared she'll cuss on
03:52her, so I'm going to do that.
03:53Well, no.
03:53We don't want to break the news to her on her.
03:56Are you shitting me?
03:57Yeah, there it is.
03:58There it is.
03:59That's about right.
04:00There it is.
04:01That is about right.
04:02But Dolly Parton passed at the age of 80.
04:05All right.
04:06I also wanted to kind of go here.
04:09As I said, there's a lot to get to today.
04:12Baseball talk, by the way, on 95.7.
04:14The fan is presented by Xfinity.
04:15Score the most reliable Wi-Fi.
04:17One price.
04:18Five years.
04:19Guaranteed.
04:19Xfinity.
04:20Imagine that.
04:21I give Tyler a lot of trash here lately because of how he has reacted to this team now.
04:34I can't believe it.
04:35Tyler, it's August 25th.
04:36He's not going to a game.
04:38And I'm honest with you.
04:39I don't know the last time Tyler's gone 0 for 81.
04:43I can't believe it myself.
04:45I mean, Tyler goes to road games sometimes.
04:49And has not gone.
04:51But I give him a lot of ish because, like, oh, he's not going to games.
04:56But I'm serious.
04:57As we sit here today, they have now fallen out of the playoffs completely.
05:02Right?
05:03They are in second place now with the Rangers winning.
05:05And then with that loss, that dropped them into the wild card.
05:09And then Cleveland won last night.
05:11So now they're a half game behind Cleveland and a half game behind the Rangers.
05:15So currently, if it ended today, the Astros would be out of the playoffs.
05:20They're 65 and 66.
05:22They've got a series against the Yankees.
05:25Probably the team that may be outside the Rangers, the Dodgers, that people hate the most here.
05:32I'm just curious.
05:33They've made some move.
05:35They made this move moving on from Dana Brown that I think a lot of people were excited about.
05:40Now, are you still invested in this team?
05:43Well, yeah.
05:44I know you are.
05:46But I'm serious.
05:46Are you out there as Astros fans?
05:49Are you still invested in this team?
05:51Or are you just waiting for this thing to come to an end?
05:53Look, here's a great question.
05:55Here's the deal.
05:56Anybody that didn't expect it.
05:59Anybody that thought this baseball team was going to run away with anything?
06:03Division, the wild card, the division, a playoff series?
06:08I mean, this is not a run away from folks type of team and hasn't been all year long.
06:13I mean, granted, I did not think that they would drop six games in a nine game stretch
06:21against the terrible three teams in the division.
06:23I didn't think it would be that bad.
06:25But in no way, shape, or form did I expect the Astros to stretch this out and comfortably
06:29coast into a division title and coast into a playoff series.
06:34So, this is exactly who we thought the Astros were.
06:38You're probably saying August 25th, you told me they're a half game out of the playoffs.
06:42You would have hit the button at the start of the season.
06:45Hell, I think I said it a month and a half ago.
06:47Get Cheryl on the history books.
06:50I think I said when they were load managing folks and resting folks, this is the kind
06:55of stuff that you miss the playoffs by one game.
06:58This is the kind of stuff you get down the stretch and you're like, damn it, we're half
07:01a game back, man.
07:02We missed it.
07:03Meanwhile, you're out here load managing folks in the first month of the season.
07:07So, yeah, this is exactly what I expected is this thing to come down to the wire.
07:12Are you still invested in this team?
07:14A team that has the MVP on it and Yordan Alvarez, who is still tracking the clear leader in the
07:22clubhouse to win AL MVP.
07:24You are a half game out of first place in the West, a half game out in the wild card.
07:30Are you still invested?
07:31Texting in, I'm only cheering for Yordan.
07:35Also texting in, hang it up for the year.
07:38Just get rid of Joe.
07:41That's what people are texting in.
07:42Tyler, are you, are you invested?
07:44Have you been invested in this team?
07:46Yeah.
07:46Yeah.
07:47I mean, I've been invested.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Yeah.
07:49I've been watching the games just from home, but, but no, I, it's amazing to me.
07:55I haven't gotten myself to a game from home.
07:57Yeah.
07:58It's amazing to me because of my adult life.
08:01I've never by far gone this long without going to an Astros game, but you're invested,
08:06but I'm invested with the team every day.
08:08Yes, absolutely.
08:10Another one coming in.
08:11And hell no, I'm not invested.
08:12I checked out a long time ago.
08:15They don't deserve the playoffs.
08:16They need to go ahead and miss the playoffs and completely reset with management and players.
08:21I think they're probably going to do that with the management part.
08:23Also till I Astros, till I die.
08:26But damn show.
08:27I just want to sit in a corner and cry.
08:29That's what someone.
08:30It's hard to watch.
08:32It's hard to watch, but it's hard to watch how this thing is unfolding.
08:35It's, it really is.
08:36I mean, you look at just the last series.
08:38I mean, when you lose leads, I mean, what was it?
08:40A 6-0 lead or a 6-1 lead?
08:42And then it was a, it was just late in the game.
08:44And then it was a three, was a 3-1 in the eighth inning.
08:47When you've got those kinds of leads and your bullpen and you lose back to back to the A's in,
08:54in disgusting fashion, that it don't get much more difficult than that.
08:57Yeah.
08:57A lot of people just said, I'm in it for your time.
09:00That is coming through big time on the text line.
09:05Yeah.
09:06I'm always curious at that.
09:08Have you guys just sit to hell with them, man?
09:09I'm old.
09:10No, I ain't spending no money on them, but I'll watch them.
09:12Yeah, but you're still investing.
09:13Yeah.
09:14They can still hurt my heart.
09:15I still get pissed off.
09:16They still move me emotionally.
09:17They make the playoffs.
09:18You're still not going to a game.
09:20I may ease into a playoff game.
09:21You ease into a playoff game.
09:22I mean, that's just, that's for the people.
09:23I'll ever do that.
