00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.960
The down Beat on ninety seven to
one, The Freak thirty minutes. We'll

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:11.039
get you ready for the NFL playoff
weekend seven thirty in scuttle Butt, some

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:15.320
daily news, fun good stuff.
Does Dirk still hate Dwayne Wade? Find

4
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.800
out? At eight o'clock. We'll
also give you a chance to win two

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.399
pairs of MAVs tickets, So two
of y'all get a chance to go to

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.359
see the MAVs as they take on
the Magic on Monday the twenty ninth.

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.280
All right, so we'll get you
set up for that eight o'clock two and

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.479
can call in one clip stood out
for Mike McCarthy's press conference. I'm'll play

9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.280
it for you guys. Yet this
is yesterday and they found out he's coming

10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.840
back. It's a twenty second song. You guys ready for this? Yeah?

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.280
Because the question that Jane Slater asked
him was why should fans believe in

12
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.439
you? Yeah? Because I believe
that the direction, you know, the

13
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.280
leadership, everything is in place.
And I'm not very comfortable talking about myself,

14
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.240
but I came here to win a
championship. I didn't come here to

15
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.280
get another contor anything other than that. I came to Dallas to win the

16
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:10.040
World Championship. And that's why I'm
standing here and buy into us, all

17
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.760
right, Cowwoy's fans buy into us. He was doing pretty good. He

18
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.959
had about twenty five minutes. He
kind of handled it all really well until

19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.439
he said buy into us, and
then everyone went, oh, no,

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.840
what if they win twelve games and
lose in the NFC Championship game next year?

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.000
That's good. You'd bring him back
a new contract. Yeah, I

22
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.959
would, five year deal, well, three year deal. Tell me how

23
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.799
they lost? Okay, what was
the score? Yeah? Bad start.

24
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.799
You know, I was thinking about
this yesterday. I think anything short of

25
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.319
a Super Bowl appearance gets him,
he's gone. But if it is four

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:53.040
strate twelve winners, and then you
do because honestly I don't. I mean,

27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.280
obviously, run here. People want
to win the damn Super Bowl.

28
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:00.519
But for whatever reason, that NFC
Championship game seems to be the next deceptible

29
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.400
step. And I do respect what
Kevin says with the moving forward, and

30
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.039
you can't move backward, and that
would be moving forward. Like you,

31
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:13.639
you're not in the promised land,
but you've made it back to acceptable land.

32
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.960
Because for the Dallas Cowboys is at
least you make the NFC Title Game

33
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.120
and that's then the okay, finish
one. Yeah that was supposed to be

34
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.639
this year. I agree that anything
short of a Super Bowl appearance, he

35
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.560
will not be back. I got
some clarity last night on some some things.

36
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.759
I was thinking about this barely.
He had one on one meeting with

37
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.319
Jerry. Jerry was cool with moving
on. Jerry had allegedly not reached out

38
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.919
to anyone else. And it is
the way Mike McCarthy won a Super Bowl

39
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.120
for Green Bay and year five,
Okay, this will be his fifth year

40
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:52.400
with the Cowboys, and it is
kind of the way is Jerry is maybe

41
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.719
the only one. I'm sure there
were people in the Cowboy front office and

42
00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.199
players were like, yeah, bring
him back, but Jerry can he gets

43
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.439
credit for I'm the one who brought
him back. Jerry's kind of the only

44
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.240
one of like, hey, I'm
the one who gave him a chance,

45
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.039
and everyone wanted to fire him,
Whereas if Belichick comes in would get the

46
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.439
credit, Harball would get the credit. So that did hit me and I

47
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.280
was like, yeah, that might
make a lot of sense. Now that

48
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.000
also might be giving Jerry way too
much credit and forward thinking where he says,

49
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.560
I have to make the hard decisions. Yeah, but think about how

50
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.759
easy and good that would look on
Jerry for going y'all all wanted him out

51
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.840
of town and look what he did. So yeah, as we've discussed running

52
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.319
back here, not a bad plan. It's not a ballsy plan. And

53
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.919
I keep judging everything against the scope
of Jerry's lifespan. I really do.

54
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.560
That's probably not not way to run
the business. But if I'm thinking about

55
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.240
how if he's in charge and wants
things, he will die. But I

56
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:59.719
didn't think it was weird. He
will in the next Jesus eighteen years.

57
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.080
Okay, well yeah, if of
see how safe that was. Just like

58
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.879
I am tired, I'm flipping through
last night. I was, you know,

59
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.719
trying to get sleepy, and it
was on the Golf channel, real

60
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.639
weird and it cuts to a commercial. I don't see how commercials for books,

61
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.639
and I was like, oh be
damn, it's Mike McCarthy. I

62
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.480
thought this was real strange to come
out, especially a date like yesterday.

63
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.000
But I'll play you. Here's a
It was almost like an infomercial type it.

64
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.399
It was like longer than a sixty. But here's the You know the

65
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:41.240
Mike McCarthy commercial from last night that
I saw on the Golf channel. I'm

66
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.639
on Macorthy. You're never working.
Love Montreal Crooks, Bigfoot, Tors,

67
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.319
Rior Biger, but I also love
my job. And these those seems like

68
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.160
everyone's coming after your job. But
there's anything I'm good at. It's winning

69
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.759
meaningless football games, but knowing how
to keep a job. You might have

70
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.519
heard of my press conference where I
said that fans should buy into us.

71
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.920
What I meant by that is you
need to buy my new book, I

72
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:11.800
Had to Keep Your Job by Mike
McCarthy Audio book by Jason Garrett. He's

73
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.959
just twelve ninety nine Barns and Noble
and nine ninety nine and a half priced

74
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.759
books. And I know that's not
half price, but let's face it,

75
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.519
nothing I do really makes sense.
You read my new book How to Keep

76
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.439
Your Job, You'll just follow those
three easy steps. Number one, lie

77
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.519
wa fight here a boss. They'll
spend so much time wondering if they made

78
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.319
the right decision to hire you that
they'll forget to fire you. For example,

79
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.079
my introductory press conference as head coach
of the thousany Walls need to confess

80
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.160
I mean, I told Jerry I
watched every play in the twenty nineteen season,

81
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:47.639
but I wanted the job, so
I have I haven't watched every play

82
00:05:48.399 --> 00:06:00.759
of the season, but it was
just uh number two, have a steep

83
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.680
goat. You know, cut dan
Quinn. If you learn big books,

84
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.519
then you cannot lie. This is
not the work for you. How to

85
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.319
Keep Your Job is only thirteen pages
long. You read it in one crap

86
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.040
session. If you want to keep
your job, by a copy of How

87
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.600
to Keep Your Job by Mitch McCarthy
featuring Jason Garrett on the audio Ordon I

88
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.319
bought by the top of find out
what the how happens to Dan Quinn.

89
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.959
He'll get a special bundle you'll get. My book was the biography of the

90
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.360
legendary comedian Leo Anthony Gallagher. I
was just like anything else. It's a

91
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.800
book. I'm a damn good coach, I'm a little one football games bind

92
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:45.199
us. I'll to Keep her Job
by Michae McCarthy in stores today, fantastic

93
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.920
Susan the golf channels on watching the
American Express Classic, and he was referencing

94
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:58.000
stuff he said in the press conference
yesterday. So that was fresh, weird,

95
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.000
was never about football here. If
you know, for the Cowboys,

96
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.680
you're always you know, doing commercials. Mark McCarthy and I love Monster Trucks,

97
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:15.920
What Big Graves Tour? Why do
you start with that? Just tell

98
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.399
you who he is. He's trying
to be relatable. Yeah are we all

99
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.199
are? And that's why we'll do
this now. That is a badass.

100
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.079
You know, it's kind of been
better. I want to hear that again

101
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:58.000
later, Yeah please yeah, five
half So all is this brought to us

102
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.279
by anyone? It's brought to us
by you, you me, Shale Sidua,

103
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.639
right around two hundred million people.
Big Mike was one of them who

104
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.199
says that do we know who that
is? It's from Andrew Bullock in the

105
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.839
blind Side? Okay, Big you
pulled that, Big mo you played a

106
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.319
lot. I don't ever know where
the hell comes from. I always say

107
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.800
it, Big Mic, I never
know what's from. Big Mike was one

108
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.039
of the two hundred million or so
people that watched the Super Bowl last year

109
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.200
and every year. I've watched every
Super Bowl of the last you know,

110
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.039
thirty five, forty a lot of
them, but two hundred million people,

111
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:41.759
and we always were like, oh
my god, that's the big dog.

112
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:50.039
One point five billion people watched the
World Cup final game in the last World

113
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.840
Cup. That was a good one
too, if I remember, that was

114
00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:00.000
messy, right? Was it Argentina
and they of course beat Danny Town.

115
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.120
They played Britain. No way,
I don't know. Don't look up,

116
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.399
don't look it up. I'm not
holding it was. It was what was

117
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.120
like Portugal? It was something over
there. It wasn't Portugal because that would

118
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:18.519
have been Ronaldo versus one spaces.
I looked at up Spain or Germany.

119
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.799
Germany is usually in there. It
was. I looked it up. Hold

120
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.679
on Spain, right, I love
Spain as a guest. No France,

121
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:33.039
I think I think it was Argentina
France shootout. Yes, a shootout in

122
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.759
Argentina, one of course. Like
look, we're not the home of soccer.

123
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.840
But I'll tell you right now,
I don't really like soccer and don't

124
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.240
really like it when people do it
around me. People are giving soccer around

125
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.399
me. I'm kind of out.
Kevin likes monster trucks, Yeah, bigfoot,

126
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.080
you know when the hyper guys besides
you. He's just kind of doing

127
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.879
tricks with the soccer ball. You
mean in a park. Yeah, someone

128
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.720
just juggling a soccer ball and this
makes you uncomfortable, or at the food

129
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.320
truck, but go ahead. It
was a chicken that played guitar, and

130
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.799
he was known around town as the
cock that rocks the food truck. That's

131
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.759
how you told the guy to put
when he put a soccer ball down.

132
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.559
One point five billion people around the
world watch the World Cup final, and

133
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.840
I was definitely one of those two
because as not soccer guy, I do,

134
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.600
I do get a little World Cup
fever. I love me too.

135
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.080
Yeah, And it's a real weird
one is that the most I mean,

136
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.799
the Olympics as a whole are the
one that it's like, you don't care

137
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.919
about any of this stuff. Oh, write none of it. I guess

138
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:45.039
basketball maybe not even anymore. Well, no, I mean we like basketball,

139
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.039
and then that's like what sport in
the Olympics you actually follow year round?

140
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.919
None, basketball of course, and
hockey. Thought you'd like a world

141
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.519
basketball No, yeah, NBA,
yeah, of course basketball nothing. I

142
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.159
guess do they do baseball in the
Olympics Now? They do golf in the

143
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.320
Olympics now, yeah, okay,
golf, but that's relatively new, but

144
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.960
most of them no, Yeah,
I'm not Katie Lidecki's in the US Championships

145
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.399
or Shikari Richardson, but we're all
gonna be ex you know, once the

146
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.000
Olympics start, everyone knows what they're
talking about track and field, But anyway,

147
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.440
soccer's kind of in that category.
I like it. I do watch

148
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.240
some EPL games if they're on.
I like Newcastle. I love going to

149
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.759
FC Dallas games, but I'm not
a super fan. But once the World

150
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.039
Cup hits, I'm in. I
will watch whatever that very first game is.

151
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.519
Whispers on that one are Mexico City
for the very first game, because

152
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.840
that is an iconic venue that hosted
the finals in I don't know the years,

153
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.000
but when Maradonna won that Hand of
God goal was in Mexico City,

154
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.720
and when Pele won a World Cup
I believe both those finals were in Mexico

155
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:58.240
City, making Mexico City a legit
candidate to host the final World Cup game

156
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.159
in the upcoming World Cup, which
is twenty twenty four. If that happens,

157
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.879
I think I'm gonna try to go. You're gonna have to Mexico City.

158
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:11.080
I'm gonna use my cartel connections to
get tickets with just the dude,

159
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.919
that you want. You bought a
bag of blow from one time. He's

160
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.159
not a cartel connection, Danny,
but he has he knows. That's how

161
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:26.279
Danny gets a Peso Pluma tickets.
You ate it. Trompo yesterday, Okay,

162
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.600
Danny wouldn't even go in to watch
the Peso Pluma show. He just

163
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.039
sat out in a lawn chair outside
the AAC Hispanics. Okay, let's all

164
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.000
relax. It's not gonna be in
Mexico City. You're gonna not gonna have

165
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.879
to go there. That's convenient,
save a vacation day. The World Cup

166
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.000
is a North American thing in that
year which is hosted by the United States,

167
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.200
America, Mexico, and Canada.
And they're expanding to I think forty

168
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.840
five teams. I don't have it
right in front of you, but they're

169
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.799
expanding thing. It's gonna be more
teams, more games, bigger, and

170
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.240
it's gonna be spread out all through
Canada, United States and Mexico. And

171
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.399
we knew Dallas at AT and T
Stadium was going to be one of these

172
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.759
sites hosting games. But there's been
this war going on for who gets the

173
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.360
final game, the final, the
big one where the eyes of the world

174
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.879
are on it more than any other
event, right, yes, any other

175
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.120
event on the planet. This is
the one that the most people care about

176
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.360
lock In watch and it was a
battle, I guess, right to the

177
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.080
very end, and all the rumors
and semi official The Sun reported it as

178
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.360
well that the World Cup Final is
going to be played at at and T

179
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.320
Stadium in North Texas, USA.
That's huge because they're not going to get

180
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.559
a Super Bowl in a long time, and you get this thing that's bigger,

181
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.519
globally bigger. Yeah. I saw
that the attendance charts on sometimes it's

182
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.679
like at and T Stadium has more
people than that Mexico City Stadium by like

183
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.120
five thousand. Yeah, so if
it's just that much thought, I mean,

184
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.279
I remember that when when the Super
Bowl was here, talking about squeezing

185
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.279
one hundred thousand in there, remember
you going for that record? Yeah,

186
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.440
they had a chair malfunctioning. Remember
handyman with their work belts trying to assemble

187
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.279
stands the day of the game and
they couldn't finish them. And then people

188
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.679
are in a stairwell that they overpaid
for tickets to. How do you not

189
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.159
have that wt? Yeah? Whatever, maybe they'll sell World Cup party passes.

190
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.679
Yeah, they will, right,
yeah, unless there's some FIFA reason

191
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.919
not to do it. Now,
it was apparently a showdown between us AT

192
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:41.320
and T Stadium and New York's MetLife
Stadium to host the show piece. And

193
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.840
it's not official official yet, like
FIFA hasn't done their big announcement, which

194
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.000
is apparently a huge thing. But
I mean, reputable soccer types are like

195
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.440
this is happening because it makes the
most sense on a lot of reasons.

196
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.679
The other interesting thing is Dallas,
Texas or the Metroplex is the main base

197
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.639
for FIFA for the the whole event
rather than New York or Miami, which

198
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.080
I think were the two other finalis
where are those offices going to be?

199
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.440
Uh located? Got to be Frisco, right, yeah, you would think

200
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.960
that makes sense. I don't know. I don't know, but just people

201
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.320
having their decision made on where their
hub is, do they so sort of

202
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.440
solidifies the thought that the final would
be here as well. Are the PGA

203
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.120
is that compound complete yet? Are
they still building? They're still building.

204
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:31.200
I think that Omni is complete and
operational, but I don't Yeah it is,

205
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.559
I went over there. It would
make sense that if that's complete,

206
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.159
that they would office out of there. Man, they've definitely left room for

207
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.159
more activities over there though, to
build build that out a little further.

208
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.039
It's yeah, Mike went over there
too, right, Yeah, you went

209
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.960
over that. Yeah. I mean
it's amazing. We went a couple of

210
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.960
weeks ago just to oh you did
kill a day and there. Spent a

211
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.000
few hours just to check it out
as I've never done it yet, and

212
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.240
it was great. It was really
nice. It was kind of two cold

213
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.320
outside to be outside and put around
or anything I want to do golf wise.

214
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.320
But a few stores, but there's
room for many more stores. I

215
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:14.320
think about that too. I mean
I think it's one of the hunts Dan

216
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.440
or Clark or one of them.
It's all bit and skin. I think

217
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.799
they were talking about wanting to get
Frisco as the hub. Well, hell,

218
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.960
they could do it at the Star
if it's you know, seasonally doable.

219
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.240
Yeah. And what do they need
for their hub? You know,

220
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.200
internet offices and a good internet and
printer, a money counting machine. You

221
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.679
would need printer because it's FIFA.
Yeah, you need printers. You'd need

222
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.559
a troubleshooting czar. Okay, what
maybe you get that job, Kevo,

223
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:47.480
I don't want it. The thought
was proximity to you know, centrally located.

224
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.039
If you again you were talking Canada, Mexico and the United States,

225
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:56.120
perfect Dallas makes perfect sense. The
stadium fifteen minutes is what the sun reports

226
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:02.879
it is from the massive international airport. Tell rooms galore, it makes sense.

227
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.279
If I'm pulling a Gerbil out of
my butt, you can just tell

228
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.599
me this. But I think I
remember when Aaron Rodgers tour his achilles and

229
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.920
all the speculations started talking coming up
about MetLife Field and how there's been a

230
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.799
lot of acls and knee injuries there
and his was an achilles and if that's

231
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.000
an even safe playing surface, and
then the discussion was like, how will

232
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.640
this affect the World Cup? And
I think they were like, well,

233
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.160
no, they put different grass on
there for the World Cup. They don't

234
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.480
play on that turf that the football
plays on. They're questioning. So I

235
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.240
remember that coming up, and that
would make sense because it says at and

236
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.240
T Stadium five thousand more than MetLife
Stadium too. Yeah, yeah, it's

237
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.079
bigger. But I remember when they
first started pitching this and wasn't there like

238
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:55.960
a raised field above the Cowboys playing
surface because the soccer field I think is

239
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.519
larger, and for the World Cup
you have to, Yeah, you have

240
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.079
to fall within certain dimensions. They
don't have to. I don't think they

241
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.680
all have to be exactly the same
to the foot, but they have to

242
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.000
fall in new x X dimensions.
Maybe in the World Cup they actually have

243
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.000
uniformity on all fields. I don't
know, but it was something about the

244
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.799
field will be raised up a little
bit, which then might factor in the

245
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.920
field level suites. I don't know. Look, the big news is that

246
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.400
apparently next week this announcement's hitting that
at and T gets it the final.

247
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.240
It's incredible, like just to be
one of the host cities of a game.

248
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.160
I think there's one hundred and four
games to be played in this particular

249
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.920
version of the of the World Cup
again because the expanded forty four. Well,

250
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.200
they will also host other games.
Though, Okay, here's a concern.

251
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.720
They've got how many years to get
this thing? You know, I

252
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.759
don't know, prepare for it too. Yeah it's twenty twenty four, right,

253
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.480
yeah? Or no, no,
it's twenty twenty six, Did I

254
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:07.200
say twenty Yeah, you've they have
got to make sure because can you imagine,

255
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.960
and we've seen this happen with other
arenas or facilities that get an event

256
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.000
and then like the week leading up
to it, you start getting stories out

257
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.200
that it's like, oh, the
grass isn't right, or there's a problem

258
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.119
in this in this portion of the
field, or or or there's some technical

259
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.160
aspect of it where the players get
out there and check it out and and

260
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.240
there's panic and they're trying to figure
it out. Look, we already hosted

261
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:38.119
a Super Bowl and by circumstances that
were out of our control the weather.

262
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.720
It put a kind of put a
black mark on on this city for for

263
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:49.240
hosting an event like that. They
cannot have anything go wrong with this because

264
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.559
that would be the worst thing on
the on the the largest audience on a

265
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:57.440
global stage. For Dallas, Texas. Okay, Arlington, I get it,

266
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.680
But for for this, you know, North Texas, for this area

267
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.000
to get an event like that,
If you start having stuff like that leak

268
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.799
out and stories about I don't know, this is inadequate, or there's faults

269
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.279
here, or there's errors here,
I mean, they have got to start

270
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:22.880
preparing for this thing immediately and making
sure that it goes off without any difficulty.

271
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.200
Well, I think they have.
I mean the pitch process. I

272
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.200
remember the FIFA for the president of
FIFA was here meeting with Jerry within the

273
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:36.079
last six months, you know.
I mean, that's all the planning is

274
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:41.079
done. The implementation. We proved
that the Super Bowl might not go off

275
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.240
without a hitch. I don't know, it could be a problem, like

276
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.039
imagine Jerry oversold something and delivered it. I mean, that is a possibility.

277
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:56.119
But we can handle big, live
sporting event at that place despite the

278
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.799
problems that happened during the Super Bowl, and maybe that was a shocking lesson

279
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.880
toward the end there. I would
imagine that they'll nail this and it'll look

280
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.839
beautiful. But what I think is
interesting and maybe a topic, is we

281
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.559
get closer to this happening, which
is weird. It's it's in twenty twenty

282
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:11.960
six. That is a snap of
the finger and a blink of the eye

283
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.279
and the World Cup final is going
to be here. But this is a

284
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.680
massive thing for the airity. Yeah, no doubt, I mean this is

285
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:25.240
huge. This is I'm not saying
this is like Dallas getting named an Olympic

286
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.640
host city, which is a month
long event too, But being it's the

287
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.400
home of FIFA, they've chosen here. There will be pool matches here and

288
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.599
the final here. This is huge, like little Dallas. I mean,

289
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.720
this is the kind of thing that
on a long enough, wide enough spectrum

290
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:48.519
puts a city or a region in
a different perspective in the for the world.

291
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.240
I mean, and it's your city
here, guys, is home.

292
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.400
And it's not like hosting a World
Cup final that's bizarre. And it's not

293
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.000
like the world's introduction to this city
will be the day that they turn on

294
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:06.480
the TV at whatever three pm to
see the final game. No, there's

295
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.440
I mean they're headquartering here and there
are all of the pool matches leading up

296
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.440
to it. Think of all of
the the global news outlets that are going

297
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.960
to be on the city, going
around trying to to discover things about the

298
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.240
city, to make it more than
just about soccer, to give you know,

299
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.279
yes, a flavor iaor if this
is the home of FIFA, this

300
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.359
will probably be the home of international
media as well. Considering you don't know

301
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.759
exactly where your next game is going
to be played, I don't think,

302
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.839
yeah, you don't know who's going
to advance out of the pool, So

303
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.680
you need a hub. Sure,
this it will be a crazy home for

304
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.880
international media, FIFA and a whole
lot of fans as well. Says they're

305
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.720
announcing this on February fourth, so
that goes down and they're going to every

306
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:59.200
match. Yeah, one hundred and
four matches or something. I have all

307
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.440
the locations. They're playing Houston as
well, and Kansas City, Oh,

308
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.200
Arrowhead. Huh Yeah, Well I
bet there's a bunch of hookers going shoe

309
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.119
shopping this weekend. Do you know
it's been quiet like it was? How

310
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.240
big of a shoe shop? May
a freak out? This was like three

311
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.279
months ago, maybe the fire when
Messi was here, Like, Messi's here

312
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.039
on Monday? Is it likes they're
playing a preseason game on Monday at the

313
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.720
Cotton Bowl? Yep? Now how
much will we play? Probably not much,

314
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.880
but our FC Dallas Intermami preseason game
Monday at the Cotton Bowl. Tickets

315
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.640
are like eighty bucks right now,
at least on a couple of ticket websites

316
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.839
there has it's been kind of quiet
that Messi's going to be in town on

317
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.000
Monday. Yeah, considering how big
of a freak out it was for a

318
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.839
real game, you know, six
months ago, five months ago, whenever

319
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.680
that was. That was number one
story in town. Yeah, he's here

320
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.359
on Monday. It's so weird.
It's gonna snuck up on us at the

321
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.359
Cotton Bowl. But everyone was probably
expected the Cowboys to play on Sunday.

322
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.119
Yeah, you know, it's just
Fu said, Oh yeah, what else

323
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.799
is going runs the eye cows an
update? Cold this weekend? Yeah,

324
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:03.920
on Monday, though. I think
Monday we're back to the fifties and sixties.

325
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.599
Okay, I think we're gonnaod to
You're right though, today and tomorrow

326
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.839
will be cold, cold sal thank
you Mike here. Well that's good.

327
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.440
I'm actually interested in the World Cup
now, and I wasn't before the segment

328
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.920
started. I'm surely he's interested in
the World Cup. That is going to

329
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:23.079
be amazing to have that here.
Yeah, well, let's go together.

330
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.720
We'll call one point seven billion people
maybe more watching it. Let's take a

331
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.839
cab out there. A guess public
transit's going to be a problem. Yeah,

332
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.519
it's be a bit of an issue. That's all right, we'll get

333
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.759
it figured out. Go Dallas coming
up next. We'll get you ready for

334
