In many ways, the story of Phi Slama Jama is like most Houston sports stories. Spectacular, exciting, and, in the end, disappointing. That’s the story of the team, not the film “Phi Slama Jama.” Austin-based filmmaker Chip Rives captures the world’s tallest fraternity in a wonderful ESPN “30 for 30” film. The day after the 20th anniversary of the Oilers last game at the Astrodome, Houston native Rives joins Jerome in this episode where they discuss growing up as huge sports fans in a city whose sports teams suffered more heartbreaking defeats than uplifting triumphs. Rives’ 11-year-old son is a Texans fan, which means he is being tortured just about the same way his dad was as an Oilers fan in the early-to-mid 70s. “This is what it’s like growing up a Houston sports fans,” Rives said. “This is the pain you have to endure. I said ‘One day, one day, you’re going to have a moment when it’s awesome.’” Rives’ documentary has received rave reviews. He goes into how and why it was made, and some of the back story into the search for Bennie Anders. If you’re a Houston sports fan, you do not want to miss this episode. It’s a slam dunk.

Bill Brown

Two Houston greats join us on this week’s episode of The Weekly Brew, Bill Brown and Chip Rives. Brown retired after 30 years as the Astros’ television play-by-play broadcaster, after a long and illustrious career, including induction into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Rives is the five-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker responsible for Brian and the Boz and Phi Slama Jama. Rives calls in to reflect on filming the Phi Slama Jama doc and discuss the Guy V. Lewis era of University of Houston Basketball.
