I thought you were going to say you pull it by a hair.

And Wendy made it better. Yeah, that's a big deal. Look because a wedding ring, even mine. I lost this for like a year, okay, and I was devastated because this is the original.

Exactly something exactly.

Luckily, my wife found it about a year and a half later.

In the couch. It was in a bag of cheese.

How I got you? It wasn't a bag of cheese under the cook couch.

On the couch.

You put it in there for safety.

Uh see, Hi to Windy Scottie down for stories.

So I got the flowers off set. I take my left hand to rake the leaves out of the way to take the picture, and the ring flew us and the ring flew off and it's the grass is brown. Oh so I'm like, okay, Scott, don't panic if I just if I just don't move one blade of grass, I'll find.

These songs charted today. We have to guess what year it was.

Okay, they were all in the top twenty. And we kick it off with Jay and the Americans. This magic moment, oh.

Man, sixties Yeah, this magic moment, I like sixty three.

Maybe I'm saying sixty nine no, that weight.

Oh, Scotty would know. I think Scotty might know. I would say sixty three with you.

But Scott is way off from us.

Doesn't it seem pre.

He's shaking us off?

He's shaking us off.

I was thinking pre beetles sound a little bit fifty five.

This is where Scott says the reason your open sun is because you can't hit anything.

The candyman can. Okay, Oh yeah this Sammy Davis Junior. Different song. Yeah, I gotta be a Satanist.

Yeah, okay, Scotty not, I'm not feeling it. Scottie sixteen, Yeah, I mean yeah, the rat Pack was sixty four or.

Sixty So this is the same year.

As this magic is today? Yeah today in that year that it charted. But maybe a movie came out. We don't know that the song charted again.

Yeah maybe, boy, I'm staying late sixties.

Okay, okay, right, all right, okay, here.

Okay, let's bring Glenn Campbell into the fold. Oh, go to Galveston.

Scotty's right, Galveston, y'all, y'all mentioned it sixty three.

Glenn Campbell wasn't he wasn't right.

Right, wasn't even born yet.

You're the you're the you're this guy, Dwight.

Yeah, I love man, this great thing.

It could beg I'm sticking.

Yeah, Okaye, trying to sabotage to see what that first song.

I'm what coach dabbing for it. It's late sixties maybe early.

And good on Glenn Campbell for singing about a girl that's legal. That's good for musicians the zombies. Now it's the time of the season for basketball.

Okay, here's this hippie dippy stuff.

I like sixty nine.

I'm gonna now now it's yeah, it's sixty sixty eight, sixty. Now you are younger, mate, so you all don't understand it was wacky or wl klo.

Do listen, wacky Bill Bailey.

There's somebody out there that's saying, coaches right, it was wacky or wkl O.

No, no, no, I remember the Bill Bailey was.

The first reason I wanted to get radio. Really absolutely. He eventually because of that, that's all he died. So d White one, let's say, if this is sixty nine, so we're sticking with sixty nine.

Does the foundations change your mind?

Build me up? Buttercut, I'm gonna stick right where I was.

Right. Coaches always do you feel me up?

But the company just to let me down, let me down.

So I'm a thirteen year old ninth grader at Southern Junior High.

Is it still open? Well, it's Olmstead North. Uh all right, Dave.

One year was that song the same year that this next one was number one, number one on this date back in the day, Tommy Rowe dizzy, something fishy about this guy.

It's dizzy, dizzy. It's past sixty nine. No, no, it's somewhere right there. Ye know. Your first call was I'm right in there, Okay, I'm good.

Yeah, because Galveston maybe think seventy seventy one.

But the other was, oh, dzy, all right, Scotty Davenport. The first note that came on the radio, he blurted out, nineteen sixty nine. I think your gut is probably pretty darn good.

Coach close.

I'm gonna David, We're gonna go with Coach Davenport on reeling in the years. Thursday, March twentieth, mis charted nineteen sixty nine.

That's a tough one man.

Dizzy from Tommy row was number one March the twenty eight.

Yeah, you got it, Davenport.

You got it.

Yeah, you got it right, all right, Scotty, damn it. Now I gotta give you credit for that stuff too.

Wow.

Come on, no, Coach Davenport, let's go back to your wedding.

Now. You know there's people believe that I was told the answer. No, no, I know they're thinking that though. Oh no, yeah what no, no, no, it was we both held sixty three. Yeah, we both held sixty three. So my sister graduating Miroquis in nineteen sixty nine, and it was a second graduating class. Like I said, I was a student Southern Junior High. And that's that's again. I just wish I could go do it again, all right, I do. We always talk about your coaching career. Will

I played hard. You see. Coach Jones, the greatest, Jerry Jones.

His favorite story was he would introduce me to run basketball camp after I kind of paid my dues to he over he and Coach Olson oversaw the camp. But I would be the kind of boots on the ground guy, and he would say, and now this next I'm gonna.

Introduce you all to coach Davenportant.

He's gonna get us started in camp all anything I want you to know about him. At this point, Coach Jones had coached forty three years. He'd say, in my forty three years of coaching, he's the only player I've ever coached you. I said, not shoot one time. So I'm a walk on JV player at Novel, and there

And then one game, I guess I was kind of feeling it. I start shooting the ball. He takes a time out, rips me in the huddle. He said, now because we are substitute, you think you're good.

Quit shooting and go back to the ball.

Can't make that up.

Coach Scottie Davin Board.

He's our guest.

Baronos Pizza Hurstborn Lane, come on by watch the game.

But listen, you hear all these stories.

You know, Brady getting drafted solo become of what he is, Michael Jordan getting cut from his basketball team, and on and on, how much, how much lack of talent can be overcompensated with work ethic, because.

Great question, that is a great question. Only so much, We're only so much. But what can't be overcome is just having a tremendous feel for the game. The game is very easy for some people to play. Basketball is a very chaotic game. It's not like football where there's such situational substitutions, or baseball where I'm going to bring in this left to get out one batter, or I'm bringing in five defensive backs for this long third down, third and long play.

What happens in basketball.

It's such a chaotic game that that natural field for the game, you say, well, define that. I think a lot of it starts with hand eye coordination and being able to see things and transferring that to competition. And some people have all the athletic gifts and became very, very very hard to play.

Doctor Lynn told me that Doctor Lynn used to take the UFA players. Uh, And they said, do you know why Kyle's corner is Kyle's corner? I said, no, it's where he shoots, he said, because they test when they go to one side of the ball the other there are.

It's all about biology in the eyes.

And where they're shooting.

That's why he shoots from there instead of the other.

See he did it with our players. Yeah, you don't play crazy. He well, me, He and Missus Lynde were their greatest. I told him.

I went and thanked him the other day that you know, sixty eight years of Bellman's had basketball, nobody ever stepped up like doctor and Missus Land in the history of that place.

Our locker room is second to none.

Okay, we all talk about championships.

You've got the greatest players in the world. How many Scotty Davenports did you have to cut? Like that didn't make the cut but you wanted to put him on the team. Those ones that you had to deliver the news and say, son, you didn't make the team, but if you keep working hard next year, you come back, YadA YadA.

Well that hurts you first of all, Tony. The hardest day of the year is when you tell some young man he can't play.

And I took that that was so so so difficult that I told him face to face I wasn't going to post a list on a door, post a list on an all and embarrass them. If I'm men enough to tell them they can't play, I'm men enough, tell him face to face.

That's something I took very, very serious. It's no different in this day and age.

If I'm gonna tell the player Tony, I'm putting you in the starting lineup in Dwight, I'm taking.

You out of the lineup.

That makes sense.

I'm gonna do this face to face.

That's what relationships are about in coaching, so that that's where that goes. But why am I the guy who's I'm the one that they chose. If it's sand Down, if it's you know, doctor McGown, if it's doctor Donovan, if it's Dinny coach, Crime or coach.

I mean, you got to do your job.

When wrestlers wrestler their last match, they take their shoes off and they put them in the center, so they go to the chair last match, take his shoes off, you put him in the center of the map. Is there something you do on the last practice that when a kid is not gonna play pro ball, you know he's gonna.

Go to the church. League, do whatever. It's his last practice.

It's whatever, is there a thing that you will do as a team for your last time play basketball?

The last game, the last home game. I always have the seniors they address the team.

Sometimes they prefer to do that tonight before at film or right before the game. That's an individual preference, team wise. The last day of preseason practice, so the last practice before the first real game, the last practice before the last regular season game. We have a little shooting competition.

We'll leave out the prize, but it's free throw, a three pointer, or a mid court But once you win, you're out. We'll leave the prizes out.

Well, it's a Mike Poyo tradition that I learned when I was coaching on his staff at pc UH.

We're gonna take a break. I want you to I don't want to hit you this question when you come back.

I want you to answer it.

Today.

Kelsey's got a bit a tougher opponent than we're supposed to have today, But tough luck.

You got to draw. Now play basketball?

What you know?

A what what do you? I don't know if you've been to a practice. You haven't been a practice. Excuse me, we're truck. But what do you think of Kelsey?

And then what do you think his game plan or what he's gonna tell his team before they roll out today? So think about that. After the top of the hour, we're gonna come back. I want to want to hear that answer.

Listen, Coach Davenport is our guest out here at Baron OLiS. Here's one team that never needs a coach.

Tell me workaholics. Oh that's true.

Listen.

If you're a business owner, serious business owners, listen to me.

Hear me out on this. If you're a business owner, meet your brand new best friend.

They're called workaholics.

You've seen the trucks out there, and then what do they do? Well, work a hall, let's haul get it halics. They do everything. Sure, they'll move your offices from A to B if you've got a new office you're moving into. They also do internal office moving. Let's say you're gonna move I don't know, Tony Veneddi from the corner office and move in a brand new, better person like me to that corner office. You don't have to do it your staff. You don't have to go down and say, hey, Matt.

That's what they do.

They move furniture, they move cubicles, they reconfigure offices. They have over seventy two thousand square feet of secured warehouse stores.

Folks, this is just a little.

Bit of what they do.

You gotta go and see what they do in person on their website. These guys they really care. They're large enough to quote any job, but they're small enough to care for any sized business.

Call Workaholics. Go to the website. You're gonna love Workaholics. It's every business, it's best friend.

Come on by Baren Knows Pizza word Hurstborn Lane location.

We're this close for the first buckets of beers to be served under the table here.
