Right way alongside the producer, Cameron Parker glad to have you with us along as well. Some programming notes just to let you know how this is going to work out for the rest of the week, meaning tomorrow in specific. Tomorrow morning, and if you've been listening to the program earlier today, you know that I have a very early flight tomorrow morning. Roger Wallace will Matthews, my broadcast partners on our long run radio network. A broadcast team will be flying alongside me and will be headed up to Michigan. And we'll. Michigan. Yeah, we got to go through through your hometown. Oh, Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte Douglas. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, when you're going to what terminal you're going to follow. Love all CLT, don't you? No, I don't. And you know, here's the thing. You don't want, I may know. Now that you mentioned it, because I've already digitally checked in for my flight. I was telling Aaron Brunker, studio engineer on the long run radio network, we had a conversation this morning. And I said, I was going through Charlotte. And he said, good old CLT. And I said, yeah, I said, and knowing my luck, we'll land like in terminal E and need to go out of terminal A and have to walk halfway across here. I'm looking at this right now. Our morning flight lands in Charlotte at D. D. Oh, we take off from D. Wow. Not only do we take off from D if the gate doesn't change, which quite often does happen. But if it doesn't, the gates are as the Canadians would say side by each. So D eight D nine. That's that's good because we've got about 50 minutes between flights to get on up to Detroit. So we fly on into Detroit. And then, you know, then we'll pick up rental car and then we'll head on over to Ann Arbor for folks don't know it's about 30 miles or so west of Detroit. So we'll drive over there. And when I get over there and we get our equipment in and all rolled in and set up, then I will hop on the show the tomorrow show the hope and the target for tomorrow's show is to have me on from the broadcast booth in Ann Arbor, at least the last couple hours of the show. The folks in Michigan very hospitable and said, Oh, yeah, yeah, you can get in and do whatever you need to do off of that. You know, we're kind of can beyond the days now. We're not too far past them. Where if you're on the road with Texas for years, and I do mean years, it was a challenge in some cases, some cases expressly forbidden to be allowed into the broadcast booth to do a talk show the day before the game. And for folks who say, how can that be? Why? What's the big deal? Usually the other team, the opposing team, the home team that'll be hosting the long ones has some, some sort of a walk through it in the stadium. Now, there's also a security suite that let's go through and they take the dogs through and make sure there's no explosives and all that other kind of stuff that always happens. But there was a time when you could not be if you were with the opposing team in any way, shape or form, affiliated, associated with them, just the radio guys, you could not be in the booth. If you did and got caught, you could be in trouble. And that happened to us twice, although we had permission in both cases once at Iowa State and once in Colorado in the big 12 days. Iowa State never forget this. We're up and at the time I was doing two to four in the afternoon. And it was about 350. Now we had asked in advance because our radio broadcast crew also needs to, when he's usually allowed, they allot the opposing radio, opposing team's radio crew time to go in and set up equipment for the broadcast the next day, especially if it's an early broadcast and an early kickoff. And so they had permission on that. But we also asked, hey, can I do my show from two to four? And the answer was, yes, just make sure you're out of the booth by four o'clock because we have a walkthrough. No problem. I'd started noticing around 330 guys for Iowa State kind of strolling out, just wearing like workout shorts and t-shirts and just kind of stretching and goofing around. There were no plays being run or anything like that. And I'm had scarcely paid attention. I'm doing the show. We get to our last break right around 350. And I turn around and there is their media relations guy been there a long time who I had asked personally or in an email. Can I do this? And he said, absolutely. And he's there with two security officers. And I take off the headset. And one of the security officer says in an angry tone, you're not so you're not allowed to be in here pointed right to the media relations guy and I said, he told me I could. And they kind of looked at each other and I was like, well, you're not supposed to be. And I said, I'm off the ear in 10 minutes. I was told I could be here until four o'clock when you're to. Okay. All right. They kind of grown my mind left out. There was another time in Colorado where we were told the same thing. You have until four o'clock. And it was like 3 30 in the afternoon. And I saw some guys out there rolling around and playing grab ass football, just throwing stuff around. No big deal. And all of a sudden, you know, word comes in. There's Texas guys up in the press, but get them out of there. You know, it's kind of things when Dan Hawkins was the coach. And there was a there was some tense words and then all of that kind of stuff. It all melted away afterwards. But yeah, sometimes it happened. But that's largely gone away because teams aren't even really doing that anymore. When you're on the road, they don't even walk through in the stadium. But there's no reason to do it. You're not really doing it. You know, time, Roger Wallace said it best. He said, you know, Sark lives by the clock. Everything is broken down in terms of its time frame. So when they land, when the team lands, they're going to go to the airport and go from the airport to the team hotel. And they've got walk through stuff in the ballrooms and things like that. And they have meetings and they have dinner and all that kind of thing. And I did spoiler alert on tonight's long one weekly, you'll hear me ask Sark at the end of the program is a removal in store. Because when they go on the road, a lot of times they watch a movie, but I'd forgotten they don't do it when they have an early kickoff. He's an early kickoff, no movie. So, you know, that every, every bit of time is plotted out on that. So they don't even do the walk through thing anymore. But there was a time when that thing was frowned upon for us to be up there unless you had all kinds of advanced permission to be able to do that. And we do have permission. They've told us no worries, no problem, you know, take your time, whatever, because there's not a planned walk through that we know of anyway from Michigan. So the plan is to be in the broadcast booth, to be on with you from Ann Arbor, at least the last two hours of the program. And maybe the whole deal, depending on when our equipment is there and when we get there and all that other kind of stuff. So there's a couple of things outside of our control. We'll see how that goes. But that's that's the plan for tomorrow. Then Saturday morning, Cam, Harge, and Mark Henry, bring you long, once game day from cover three, right? Number three Anderson Lane, L Anderson Lane, I was trying to make sure I got the location crinkets, there's cover three locations and cover two as well all around town, but it's cover three on Anderson Lane tomorrow. So you guys will be out there in a big watch party thing for them, because you can kick off at 11 o'clock when they're popping the doors at 1030, is that how they work? 1030. Now we're on the air from eight to 10, of course. So you guys would be like creeping around in the dark with flashlights to set up there in an otherwise closed restaurant. Is that how I work? Harge has a key. Somehow we're getting in. I don't know. We'll probably be 10 minutes in the setup and the cops will be showing up. You know, what are you guys doing here? I didn't see hands right now. We're just doing our game day show put down the flashlights, sir. Yeah. Okay. All right. So anyway, yeah. All right. So they so long ones game day comes your way 1030. I mean, at eight AM tomorrow, but the doors will open and cover three at 1030. And of course, our broadcast coverage begins at eight AM and then on the network at 10. So that gets you caught up on all of that coming up. We're going to hear more from Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian.
