Speaker 4: driving around. I'll tune in over there and see what's
Speaker 4: going on. And I always catch a Bruce Bochie interview.
Speaker 4: Always listening to being interviewed. I love listening to him
Speaker 4: talk the skipper of the Texas Rangers. He sounds like
Speaker 4: a big old teddy bear. Do an invitation of him.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me think about it.
Speaker 5: He's like, well, you know, we're what we do for you,
Speaker 5: Like our guy's got to hit better, and they will,
Speaker 5: and I feel like that's part of the game. Sometimes
Speaker 5: you don't hit well and sometimes you do. Sometimes the
Speaker 5: ball drops in and sometimes it doesn't. But it's okay
Speaker 5: when it doesn't, because it will someday and it'll fall
Speaker 5: in for you.
Speaker 1: So we just got to stay after it.
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't we on our show do a weekly called
Speaker 4: the Bruce Botchie Ball Show Boachie Ball.
Speaker 5: Way, we could. We could have fun with it, and
Speaker 5: we will. But sometimes it doesn't get fun. And if
Speaker 5: it's not, then you don't do it. But if it is,
Speaker 5: you keep doing it.
Speaker 4: It is the perspective of a old man that's just
Speaker 4: wise and has seen it all and doesn't care about anything.
Speaker 4: He's not he's on the air, he's not here non
Speaker 4: plus by anything, though, right.
Speaker 1: Wild ass really guys. Hedgy was writing down the number
Speaker 1: of games left on his ass. Well, you know, he
Speaker 1: wrote that number on his butt cheek and it was.
Speaker 5: A funny thing to do. And writing on butt cheeks
Speaker 5: happen sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't happen and no one
Speaker 5: finds out. And it's fine either way.
Speaker 1: You say, show them the ass, Heedgy Hedgie, show him
Speaker 1: the ass.
Speaker 4: I might have it. Go Ranger, Yeah, go Rachel, I'm
Speaker 4: coming up in ten minutes. Things skin weight is tracking.
Speaker 1: Uh. I gotta tell you guys something that happened to
Speaker 1: me today.
Speaker 4: So when I was uh so, the other day, we
Speaker 4: saw Zach Martin and we saw him at the Travis
Speaker 4: Frederick charity event. He retired, one of the all time
Speaker 4: cowboy greats, and he looks so good, and he was like, dude,
Speaker 4: what are you What are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 4: How'd you fin out so much?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: What are you doing? He's like, he goes, Honestly, man,
Speaker 4: I'm just walking. I'm just going for walks around my neighborhood.
Speaker 4: I was like, good lord, that's in credit. I keep
Speaker 4: hearing people keep saying I just go for a walk,
Speaker 4: that's all I do. And I'm like, dang it, I
Speaker 4: need to do that. There's no excuse for not walking.
Speaker 4: It's not hard to do. All you got to do
Speaker 4: is have a little bit of time go for a walk.
Speaker 4: And so I started, it's really good for you, dude.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're doing that. So I started going to
Speaker 4: do that. So I started going for walks. And so
Speaker 4: today I was just going for a walk around my
Speaker 4: neighborhood and I was talking to you on the phone's
Speaker 4: skin and I was listening to a podcast, and I
Speaker 4: got a call from the Great Jean Briquet of Franklin Frankel,
Speaker 4: and he was coming in the neighborhood. He was like, Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm actually gonna be in your neighborhood. I'm buying a
Speaker 4: bike from somebody. Turns out he bought a bike from
Speaker 4: somebody who having to live up in our area and
Speaker 4: they wanted to meet at the nook in Light Farms, right,
Speaker 4: And so I just went up there and met him
Speaker 4: for a while, and as by the way, I was
Speaker 4: just walking around the neighborhood and I was finished with
Speaker 4: my walk when Jane got there. Once he bought the bike,
Speaker 4: I was like, can you drop me off at my house?
Speaker 4: But it was literally thirty yards away. Were you stopping
Speaker 4: and looking over fences and stuff.
Speaker 1: No, but I was.
Speaker 4: I started scratching my eyes. I was like, man, my
Speaker 4: allergies are going nuts right now. And I'm like, maybe
Speaker 4: it's just because I've been outside. So I go home
Speaker 4: and I'm at home and I'm like, God, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: take my second allergy pill of the day. I recently
Speaker 4: got these eye drops cause last week my allergies will
Speaker 4: bothering me. So I got these eye drops because my
Speaker 4: eyes were just itching so much. And I went to
Speaker 4: go look at my eyes in the mirror, and my
Speaker 4: whole face and arms had broken out in hives, so
Speaker 4: like at my wrists. Both my wrists looked like they
Speaker 4: were it was poison ivy. It was hives like that
Speaker 4: bright red. And I was like, what the hell is
Speaker 4: going on? And you know, it's really odd when you
Speaker 4: look in the mirror and your face is like in
Speaker 4: a rash. It's like breaking out from something that's not
Speaker 4: right with you. And I was like, oh my God,
Speaker 4: Like what is this gonna get worse?
Speaker 1: Did you do any motor boating? No?
Speaker 4: I mean there was no I you know, and I
Speaker 4: hadn't eaten anything, so it wasn't anything that I ate.
Speaker 4: I was outside on long walk outside, so I looked
Speaker 4: at some research on it. It could have been an insect
Speaker 4: if my wife changed the detergent.
Speaker 1: It's possible that.
Speaker 4: It could have been an allergic reaction to whatever clothes
Speaker 4: I was wearing. I don't know, but when you pull
Speaker 4: the shirt over your face or whatever I do, I am.
Speaker 4: I do have pretty strong allergies. Like if she changes soap, like, oh,
Speaker 4: it'll be a big rate. So like I keep the
Speaker 4: same soap year after year after year after year. But anyways,
Speaker 4: I to this minute, I don't know what it was
Speaker 4: that caused it, but it was. It was so much
Speaker 4: that I thought I was going to miss the show.
Speaker 1: Could you bend a drill?
Speaker 4: We have some generic allergy medicine because my wife saves
Speaker 4: money at every turn, so it's generic allergy meds. And
Speaker 4: I've taken three of those now today. What you're only
Speaker 4: supposed to take one per day. Yeah, that causes impotence,
Speaker 4: and I'm over I need that. I have too many kids,
Speaker 4: and I'm overdosing, overdosing on eye drops.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I tend to do this.
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a lot of if people
Speaker 4: are similar to me, or if you guys are. But
Speaker 4: let's say that you're you're not feeling well and there's
Speaker 4: something you can take for the symptoms. If I take
Speaker 4: the first dose and it doesn't go away immediately, I
Speaker 4: just take as many doses as I want with no
Speaker 4: consultation from a position.
Speaker 1: I probably overdose on every medicine I I don't.
Speaker 4: I usually take the recommended dosage. But also, like, you're
Speaker 4: a big dude, right, you got a big frame.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a normal person recommended dose.
Speaker 4: I think you can take a little bit more than
Speaker 4: what they recommend, plus your full throttle. You know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Right, I've seen you crush of all kinds
Speaker 4: of stuff and snorted, so I would be you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should put big and tall directions on medicine, right,
Speaker 1: it's right if you're directions. If you're this size, take
Speaker 1: this much. If not, take the whole bottle? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you a normal sized faller, take this if not?
Speaker 6: But more.
Speaker 7: They do do that for dogs too, though, like they
Speaker 7: have the pounds on their Yeah.
Speaker 4: Whatever, right, they couldn't know why they don't do that,
Speaker 4: but I did. Uh, I am feeling better so I'm
Speaker 4: gonna be good to go. A little bit later in
Speaker 4: the show, at five forty, we're gonna get into the
Speaker 4: George Pickens thing.
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by this, you know.
Speaker 4: I've had time to think about it now, and I
Speaker 4: think my initial reaction was I've pretended that all the
Speaker 4: warts that are there for the guy are gone now
Speaker 4: that he's a cowboy, and he won't have any issues.
Speaker 4: It's a highly controversial player who gets into all sorts
Speaker 4: of trouble like and creates chaos within his own organization,
Speaker 4: and they've got him in a contract year.
Speaker 1: So is he going to be on his best behavior? Maybe?
Speaker 4: I don't know that there's a long term fit here,
Speaker 4: and I don't know if the Cowboys even care, but
Speaker 4: I commend them for making this deal because he's going
Speaker 4: to be on this best behavior this year, and if
Speaker 4: he leaves because he wants a ton of money and
Speaker 4: he earns it, they may just say see you later
Speaker 4: because they can afford to pay him, and they'll use
Speaker 4: each other for one year, and the Cowboys will get
Speaker 4: a competed story pick when he leaves. So it may
Speaker 4: be as simple as that. I'll put it to you
Speaker 4: like this the way I look at these things after
Speaker 4: working in sportstock radio for pretty much the entirety of
Speaker 4: the des Bryant career arc, I'm not worried about anything, right,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's like, there are some
Speaker 4: things that you can't overcome. But des Bryant was a
Speaker 4: guy that was wild ass quote unquote cause problems, all
Speaker 4: these things, But he had tons of teammates vouched for him,
Speaker 4: and he was great on the field and whenever you
Speaker 4: met him, he was a hell of a likable guy.
Speaker 4: And so even when there are these things that flare up,
Speaker 4: the great thing about football is if something does flare
Speaker 4: up on game day, you got a week until the
Speaker 4: next game, right, you know.
Speaker 1: But dude, he's gonna be good. They're gonna have an
Speaker 1: incredible one to two punch. Now. Yeah, I'm excited about
Speaker 1: the Cowboys season. I really am.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's an offense that can move
Speaker 4: up and down. The wild thing is, we know nothing
Speaker 4: about Shoudy.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 4: We know nothing about the coach and what his offense
Speaker 4: is gonna look like. We truly what is the track
Speaker 4: record to go off of? Like, what's the thing that
Speaker 4: you can go look in the past to go, oh,
Speaker 4: they're gonna be like this, not even clear what it was, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: So this is actually in a lot of ways with
Speaker 4: all these weapons and trying to improve the offensive line,
Speaker 4: it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: And they still haven't.
Speaker 4: And they still have a few needs to address, and
Speaker 4: maybe they'll continue to make moves or who knows, maybe
Speaker 4: they're off seasons not over coming up in less than
Speaker 4: four minutes, so for three minutes, Things skin Weight is Tracking.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take his skin.
Speaker 4: I've got some feedback on something we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 4: America has weighed in and they don't like it.
Speaker 1: Boo skins Track. Yeah, another edition of Things skin is Tracking.
Speaker 1: Thank you Shackleford.
Speaker 4: All right, yesterday we were talking about the use of
Speaker 4: AI to recreate nostalgic thing. So in this case, NBC
Speaker 4: on their NBA coverage is going to use the voice
Speaker 4: of a guy. I believe his name was Jim Fagan
Speaker 4: and he did all the vo stuff for the NBC
Speaker 4: NBA coverage in the nineties.
Speaker 1: So when they had that big.
Speaker 4: John Tesh song called round Ball Rock or whatever the
Speaker 4: hell that thing was called, he would be the vo guy.
Speaker 4: So if you were you know, like me in your
Speaker 4: twenties and the nineties, and you're watching the NBA on
Speaker 4: NBC and you saw Michael Jordan promo.
Speaker 1: You heard his voice.
Speaker 4: So, since NBA is going back on NBC, Jim Fagan
Speaker 4: had passed away, so they reached out to as Sam
Speaker 4: and said, we want to use AI to recreate his
Speaker 4: voice to do promos. And the family said all right,
Speaker 4: we love money, And so they did a poll on
Speaker 4: the Athletic Of the people that responded, what percent they
Speaker 4: had two categories, one was lazy and cheap, the other
Speaker 4: one was harmless and cool. What percentage of people responding
Speaker 4: to this poll for NBC's use of artificial intelligence said
Speaker 4: that this was quote unquote lazy and cheap.
Speaker 1: EIGHTYJA to accuse myself, I do know the answer, Okay.
Speaker 7: I do think more people said that, but I'll do seventy.
Speaker 1: Eighty three percent.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 4: Now let me ask you this, though, if your options
Speaker 4: were good or bad, do you think the same number
Speaker 4: of people would respond. Do you think people just love
Speaker 4: the idea of saying that it was lazy and cheap.
Speaker 4: I don't think they put a lot of thunt into it,
Speaker 4: and everyone's like, man, I don't want them coming after
Speaker 4: my job.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna criticize this. I get it. I am.
Speaker 4: I've just started dabbling in AI and I dig it
Speaker 4: and I I gave you an example. I used AI
Speaker 4: to make a graphic of our show, and for the
Speaker 4: most part, it's like, all right, this is great. Like,
Speaker 4: we hire an artist, local artist named Mick who's incredible
Speaker 4: and he's done a ton of work force over the
Speaker 4: last few years. But it's very expensive because he's very talented.
Speaker 4: I can't afford to do that every single time. So
Speaker 4: I was like, great, if I need to, you know,
Speaker 4: do a quick graphic. But I did catch some flatpor it.
Speaker 4: People are like, oh, I see you, dude, you're taking
Speaker 4: jobs away from I go. Dude, nobody's paid local artists
Speaker 4: more than me for radio artwork. The second that you post,
Speaker 4: I'm like, anyone that works in any creative feel is like, yeah,
Speaker 4: some a bit, I know, but dude, no one else
Speaker 4: is paying these guys like me. Yeah, So I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what to tell you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's it's it's just it's these are the moments, Yeah,
Speaker 4: like these happen. So you do a thing most people
Speaker 4: aren't going to know anything, and then the people that
Speaker 4: are creatives are gonna be very upset by it and
Speaker 4: they're gonna jump into the comments, and then there's a
Speaker 4: whole other firestorm that breaks. I'll give you an example,
Speaker 4: another example. A friend of ours and I'll show it
Speaker 4: to you. During the commercial break sent me. It looks
Speaker 4: like the most beautiful advertisement I've ever seen, like a
Speaker 4: television commercial for a product with a celebrity endorser in it,
Speaker 4: and it looks real Like I was watching it, going, wow,
Speaker 4: how did you get.
Speaker 1: That celebrity on that to go shoot that?
Speaker 4: It's all AI, Like I can't, It's I'm like, you know,
Speaker 4: and they were just doing it just for fun and
Speaker 4: to you know, to get in the door with a client.
Speaker 4: But I was like wow, Like I I like, I
Speaker 4: dabble in it just with like chat, GPT and stuff
Speaker 4: like that. But like, I don't know how they're getting
Speaker 4: voiceover stuff done. I don't know how they're getting film
Speaker 4: work done. I don't know what apps are you using
Speaker 4: to create that? And that's amazing. I mean, it's uh,
Speaker 4: it's scary too, because like we've talked about BEFO or
Speaker 4: if you wanted to pretend to be the dictator of
Speaker 4: another country and say I'm bombing you, right, I don't
Speaker 4: know how to say if that's not real or not
Speaker 4: fire off the weapons. Yeah, I mean, dude, it's It
Speaker 4: causes a lot of anxiety. But in general, the future
Speaker 4: has always caused anxiety, sure, because all technology seems like
Speaker 4: the devil's magic, no matter at what point in time
Speaker 4: you are.
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I mean, imagine showing someone in the early nineteen hundreds
Speaker 4: moving film, right, Jesus, you know what I'm saying. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, Wait, how did you capture that imagery? What
Speaker 4: has happened? Like, imagine the mind's being doomed.
Speaker 1: They're like when electricity was put in the White House
Speaker 1: for the first time and the President You're like, Jesus,
Speaker 1: what is that? What is this devil a switch and
Speaker 1: the lights come on?
Speaker 4: No, you think about how long history is and electricity
Speaker 4: is what two hundred years old that we've harnessed it?
Speaker 1: Crazy?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 1: And now there's Wi Fi and fiber cables and satellites
Speaker 1: and underground in or broad there is information flying through
Speaker 1: the air in front of your eyeballs. Right now that
Speaker 1: you don't even realize. We don't know who killed JFK. Nope,
Speaker 1: we still don't know. All right.
Speaker 4: Coming up next in the Hollywood Shuffle, let's turn our
Speaker 4: attention to simpler times. Our guy skin Weight is known
Speaker 4: throughout country music as being a huge ambassador for it all,
Speaker 4: and coming up next, his guy Blake Shelton has hit
Speaker 4: a milestone. We'll discuss it through a rock Lenbs huge

Speaker 4: here's ten million dollars, dude.
Speaker 7: That song has a story to tell. There's a guy
Speaker 7: who's escapes from prison and you got old Red tracking him. Wow,
Speaker 7: and then he's smart enough to get old Red like
Speaker 7: a girl dog right and distract him and he gets away.
Speaker 1: It's actually his best stuff before he sold out.

Speaker 1: Once he got on the voice and started, you know,

Speaker 1: Now it to the offspring and the offspring thank you.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get into some amazing audio from last night
Speaker 4: Stars Win that fans of the show are gonna absolutely love.
Speaker 1: But right now it's time for this world news. World News,
Speaker 1: world news, world news.
Speaker 4: Wow, you'll be able to you know, use that moving forward.
Speaker 4: So you wanted to perform it live each time?
Speaker 1: Great intro? Uh so world News. So we're gonna chronologically
Speaker 1: this is yesterday when they were at the conclave. They're
Speaker 1: having their vote who's gonna be the new Pope? And
Speaker 1: CBS News is on the case.
Speaker 12: We imagine, and the conclave that there's always charge political
Speaker 12: debate going on, so.
Speaker 1: They sit the whole time. They don't stand up, and.
Speaker 12: Most of them will know, most of them will tell
Speaker 12: you that while that's going on, they're sitting reading their
Speaker 12: Breviary that's a book of prayers, or doing the one
Speaker 12: thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram.
Speaker 1: Because their device is a whole.
Speaker 12: I believe the kids, I believe the kids call it
Speaker 12: raw dogging it if you're going to go through a
Speaker 12: long period of time with no electronic device. Yeah, right,
Speaker 12: Well they're of a certain age, so they might be.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is what it's called.
Speaker 4: That is a whole plot line in shrinking. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: didn't know what it was. A raw dog of flight. Yeah,
Speaker 4: raw dog of flight.
Speaker 1: Oh but you know, yeah, you know, just in this scenario, we.
Speaker 7: Might don't say it on the CBS News when you're
Speaker 7: talking about the Pope.
Speaker 1: You don't say it. Maybe history, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I do think the Pope would be raw dog in it.
Speaker 4: Though they all are right, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it kind of falls in line with his beliefs the
Speaker 4: way that they believe about contraception.
Speaker 1: But are they allowed to I don't know, they're not.
Speaker 1: They're not right. Well, they're not supposed to. They're not
Speaker 1: supposed to be.
Speaker 4: It's frowned upon. But let's just say there's evidence to
Speaker 4: the contrary. We've all done stuff that's been frowned upon.
Speaker 4: I guess, man, I'm backing away from what Kevin got.
Speaker 4: My existence is frowned upon by many.
Speaker 12: One more time it gets checking Instagram because their.
Speaker 1: Devices I believe the kids. I believe the kids call
Speaker 1: it raw dogging.
Speaker 7: It if you're going to go through a long period
Speaker 7: of time with no electronic device.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Well they're of a certain age news anchor
Speaker 1: guy who throughout the raw dogging, he should probably go
Speaker 1: back into his turtle shell and just wait till the
Speaker 1: next segment.
Speaker 4: I don't think you want to use the term raw
Speaker 4: dogging when following it up with the term devices.
Speaker 1: It's not good, you know what I'm saying. She knew
Speaker 1: what she had.
Speaker 4: She knew you could tell her vites Jesus did.
Speaker 1: She was like, don't expose me. So he got an
Speaker 1: American pope. Okay, the pope is American. His name is Robert.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be Pope Leo the fourteenth, though, so very
Speaker 1: confusing Chicago guy, which made for a lot of good jokes.
Speaker 1: You know, if he's a white Sox guy or a
Speaker 1: Cubs guy. That's a question that's been thrown around out there.
Speaker 1: It's funny that they were able to develop a new
Speaker 1: pope from Chicago before the Bears could develop a four
Speaker 1: thousand yard quarterback. Okay, how about coming soon to NBC
Speaker 1: Chicago Fire Chicago, You know, police whatever, Chicago Pope a
Speaker 1: lot of good jokes. Pope Leo the fourteenth. It was cool.
Speaker 1: The moment that he does walk up and the crowd
Speaker 1: freaks out was really like goosebumps type stuff. So they
Speaker 1: knew him and stuff already.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know how this works because I don't
Speaker 4: follow you know, the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: You guys missed such an opportunity to go watch conclave.
Speaker 1: It was so good and it explains all of this perfect.
Speaker 4: No, but you know what I'm saying, like your average
Speaker 4: Like I have some friends that were involved, heavily involved
Speaker 4: in the Catholic Diocese in Dallas, Okay, and so you
Speaker 4: would think that they would be very indoctrinated into whatever's
Speaker 4: happening overall with the papal lineage. Do you think your
Speaker 4: average Catholic person or even someone that would work at
Speaker 4: the diocese like knows who these people are that have
Speaker 4: a chance to be the pope.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think they think of them with sports teams.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just curious, like what kind of a
Speaker 4: profile do these people have?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't no idea. I don't know. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch of them to go in there, and did their
Speaker 1: vote and they had the white smoke and there you go.
Speaker 1: It's been done. Popo Leo the fourteenth. Welcome he's sixty nine.
Speaker 4: Dude, Oh he doesn't want this white smoke.
Speaker 1: Man. Well, thank you Kevin for the World report. Fliped
Speaker 1: the format the country.
Speaker 4: Now coming up next, let's go around the sports. What's
Speaker 4: going on with the Mavericks? Well this next, Now, let's
Speaker 4: go around the sports.
Speaker 1: KTD fun tweets as.
Speaker 11: All the sports yea penalty is charged with the sports
Speaker 11: from Tim McMahon at ESPN sources, MAVs GM Nico Harrison
Speaker 11: is making major changes to the team's health and Performance group.
Speaker 1: Again. Among the dismissals athletic performance director Keith Belton, who
Speaker 1: was Nico's hire last summer, and head athletic trainer Dion Calhoun.
Speaker 1: I think we're only probably talking about this because it's
Speaker 1: been a tumultuous few months. And the big Tim McMahon article, Yeah,
Speaker 1: did he talk a lot about what was going on.
Speaker 5: Cato.
Speaker 4: Tim Cato had a big article for DLLs Sports where
Speaker 4: he expanded on what Tim had talked about with the
Speaker 4: blow up between Keith Belton and there's another and I'm blanking.
Speaker 4: I don't have his name in front of me. It's
Speaker 4: he had come from the from Boston. He's another medical
Speaker 4: guy with the Billsborough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Billsborough. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: they According to Tim Cato in his article, and I'm
Speaker 4: doing this off memory, Belton and Billsborough had a big
Speaker 4: dust up that got physical, like to the point where
Speaker 4: they got in each other's face. I don't know if
Speaker 4: you know they throw those beads, but uh, they definitely
Speaker 4: got in each other's face and it and it, you know,
Speaker 4: was a problem.
Speaker 1: That's according to Tim Cato's reporting. And this is big news.
Speaker 4: It's all significant news because you know, the deterioration of
Speaker 4: whatever's happened with Nico and his rise within the Mavericks
Speaker 4: to get to the point where he could trade Luca
Speaker 4: and be unchecked there, the story of how that got
Speaker 4: there is massively important. And then to read McMahon, it
Speaker 4: would almost intimate that man by firing Casey Smith, that
Speaker 4: decision right there alt probably cost you Luca and maybe
Speaker 4: Dirk to infer what he's writing there, but that fractured
Speaker 4: relationship so much that it was pretty much I mean,
Speaker 4: and then you watch the Knick, you know, Casey Smith
Speaker 4: goes on to the Knicks. They end up having the
Speaker 4: healthiest season in the NBA. The Mavericks then have the
Speaker 4: least healthy season or one of the least healthy seasons,
Speaker 4: not the most lyat healthy, but.
Speaker 1: It was top five.
Speaker 4: But they were ravaged by injuries, ravaged by injuries, and
Speaker 4: there was the report of you know, and and again
Speaker 4: you don't know the details of these things, but you know,
Speaker 4: it's just he didn't have the right certification or certification
Speaker 4: or something like that. Keith Belton, Yeah, Keith Belton, I'm like,
Speaker 4: what is that? Like, what are we even doing? But right,
Speaker 4: but you go with the Casey Smith thing was massive
Speaker 4: in all of this. It's a pretty important piece to
Speaker 4: this whole puzzle, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And it's it's hard for me to comment on these
Speaker 4: things for a couple of different reasons. One, I am
Speaker 4: not at practices. I'm not on the team plane, i
Speaker 4: am not in the training room. I mean I know
Speaker 4: people that are around, but I'm not there. But I
Speaker 4: can say, like, you know, having been around the team
Speaker 4: as long as I have a lot of people that
Speaker 4: are friends of mine are gone, you know that that
Speaker 4: happens in all kinds of you know, businesses and things
Speaker 4: like that. But like when you're talking about Casey Smith
Speaker 4: getting removed, that's a personal friend of mine that I
Speaker 4: still text with, because when you've known someone that many years,
Speaker 4: and me and Ben had to earn Casey's trust, you know,
Speaker 4: Casey was a big protector and we were sort of interlopers.
Speaker 4: And I really like the fact that now me and
Speaker 4: Casey are really good friends because at first they were
Speaker 4: looking at me and you side eyed, right, they should.
Speaker 1: Be looking at us side of it, especially.
Speaker 4: Me and and I can't tell you how many times
Speaker 4: I just wandered up to Dion and we just sat
Speaker 4: there and had a quick conversation about hip hop because
Speaker 4: he's he's younger than us, but not you know, he's
Speaker 4: he's a fan of the hip hop of the early nineties.
Speaker 1: I love Dion, that's my guy. So I.
Speaker 4: I hate to see it, but also, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: we all need to come to grips with I think
Speaker 4: what all of the things that have happened over the
Speaker 4: last year two years has just shown you the difference
Speaker 4: in the way most sports organizations are and the way
Speaker 4: this thing was under Cuban, Right, Like Cuban. Cuban did
Speaker 4: a lot of things that drove me crazy as a
Speaker 4: you know, someone that considers themselves an amateur basketball expert.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm definitely an amateur. But there's a lot
Speaker 4: of things he did that drove me baddie. But there's
Speaker 4: also a lot of things he did that were created
Speaker 4: a family atmosphere. And I think that the way that
Speaker 4: things are for the Mavericks now is honestly the way
Speaker 4: it is for most sports franchises. Most sports franchises are
Speaker 4: ran the way that the Mavericks run things now, and
Speaker 4: it was just different.
Speaker 1: We had Cuban for twenty years and it was different. Right.
Speaker 4: But the Casey Smith that the training staff, you know,
Speaker 4: there's people in Lucas camp, the closest people to Luca
Speaker 4: are the same people that were in Dirk's camp, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: So you're talking about the synergy between Dirk's camp and
Speaker 4: Lucas camp was is.
Speaker 1: Thick, especially with Laura Beth Sieger. People now know who
Speaker 1: she is.
Speaker 4: She used to play the background all the time, but
Speaker 4: she went from working with Dirk to Luca met her
Speaker 4: because of Dirk, right, And so you're talking about in
Speaker 4: Casey Smith, one of Dirk's best friends, and that gutted
Speaker 4: Luca to lose him as well, which then led to
Speaker 4: more riffs with the organization. But I mean, I just
Speaker 4: I find that to be a fact. You know, Tim
Speaker 4: McMahon wrote about this. I wouldn't pretend to have any
Speaker 4: inside scoop on it at all, but I think all
Speaker 4: of this stuff going on with the training staff is
Speaker 4: a huge part of the fractured relationship between Luca and
Speaker 4: then maybe even Dirk. If you were to read what
Speaker 4: Tim road, I'm just like, it's and that's gut wrenching
Speaker 4: to all that. And so I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 4: on the scene. I don't I don't know all the
Speaker 4: details of all that stuff, but it's sure does seem
Speaker 4: significant in all of this. The we weren't at the
Speaker 4: you know, the media thing they did with you know,
Speaker 4: Nico and Rick Welts. It was closed door, was it
Speaker 4: was private. It's not that it was secret, it was private.
Speaker 4: We weren't invited to that. But the transcript was released
Speaker 4: and the back and forth between Nico and Tim, there
Speaker 4: was a lot of back and forth about the medical stuff,
Speaker 4: and you know, Nico, by reading his answers, felt confident
Speaker 4: in the decisions he was making, and he's made even
Speaker 4: more decisions now and so we'll see who they hire next, right,
Speaker 4: But he I think somebody one of the bloggers had this,
Speaker 4: and I apologize on which one it was, but it
Speaker 4: was twenty two days after Nico publicly said we got
Speaker 4: better with our training staff that they let this guy go.
Speaker 1: Jeez, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: I'm like, it's it's I don't know what to make
Speaker 4: of it all, but it is involved in this.
Speaker 1: It absolutely is involved in the story. It's just wild,
Speaker 1: like him has kind of gone away for three weeks
Speaker 1: and then here's another story and it's like, okay.
Speaker 4: I was actually always blown away that no one locally
Speaker 4: wrote that Casey Smith suddenly wasn't around, Like I was
Speaker 4: always like, is nobody gonna write about this? Like he's
Speaker 4: been here forever and no one noticed. And that's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons Nico is like, why are you bringing
Speaker 4: up Casey Smith right now?
Speaker 1: He's been gone for a year and a half. What
Speaker 1: are you doing now?
Speaker 4: And I think Nico has a point there, Yeah, like
Speaker 4: no one asked about this last year.
Speaker 1: Why is everybody asking about it now?
Speaker 4: So anyways, just from a personal side. It sucks when
Speaker 4: your friends get let go. I mean we dealt with
Speaker 4: that with the freak. We lost a lot of friends
Speaker 4: when the station flipped. So it's the way it goes.
Speaker 4: By the way, the lottery is Monday night, Yes, so
Speaker 4: that could be the next best good news on the
Speaker 4: horizon for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: What did they end up with?
Speaker 4: A top four pick eight and a half percent. Let's go, okay,
Speaker 4: we need it, we need it. Yeah, it's up Toro
Speaker 4: Londo Blackman, don't let us downw uh tizzl Let's jump
Speaker 4: right into a little Stars top.
Speaker 1: Okay. So last night the Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets
Speaker 1: three to two. They were up one to zero in
Speaker 1: the series, and they got another hat trick from Miko
Speaker 1: Rantin and he's now on another planet in one period?
Speaker 13: Right?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Was it all in the second period? Was it all
Speaker 1: in the second period? I just know that he has
Speaker 1: ten points in the last three games.
Speaker 7: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I thought.
Speaker 4: I saw a report where because his other hat trick
Speaker 4: was in one period, wasn't it was in the third
Speaker 4: And so it was like only a handful of times,
Speaker 4: like only like four players in the history of NHL
Speaker 4: have had a hat trick in one period of a
Speaker 4: hockey game, and he's done it like twice in the playoff.
Speaker 1: It was all in the second period. I guess I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that at the time, kind of get through it,
Speaker 1: stay to plate, watched it. All good stuff, get the
Speaker 1: whole holding your breath thing at the end where they
Speaker 1: pulled it, pulled the goalie in six on five. But
Speaker 1: our friend Shippy, who used to be on the show
Speaker 1: for many years, is the DJ for the Stars and
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. So the ESPN broadcast had a couple of
Speaker 1: things going on. They're in Winnipeg, huge hockey town, and
Speaker 1: outside of the stadium, their fans are lit, and it
Speaker 1: showed all their fans and their little party area outside
Speaker 1: the stadium. And then it would every once in a
Speaker 1: while come back to the Dallas watch party and man
Speaker 1: in the first period, there's a big difference in what
Speaker 1: a hockey city is and what's not is all of
Speaker 1: our fans are on lawn chairs outside the ac Now
Speaker 1: is the game got going on, our fans started to
Speaker 1: get more rowdy, and I realized, hey, I think we
Speaker 1: can you know, I don't know, get it going a
Speaker 1: little bit and uh, this is John Bouchie Gross, who
Speaker 1: I think is either what's going on? What is happening?
Speaker 1: I'm leaving? What's happening? Okay? What was on your gay list? Okay?
Speaker 1: I Spotify for left That's why I.
Speaker 7: Was on your way?
Speaker 4: Is that your power ballad playlist?
Speaker 1: It was like cold Play? That was now that was
Speaker 1: the space between. I'm pretty sure that was snow Patrol.
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. All right, So John,
Speaker 1: Butchie Gross is you're play by playing? Cares about Bochie Gross? Now,
Speaker 1: he was a good guy. He loves Dallas. I think
Speaker 1: he's trying to get a job here.
Speaker 14: Okay, Luca left town, but Miko came in to field
Speaker 14: some of the void for the great fans in Dallas
Speaker 14: at They're awesome arena. No this, I know this arena
Speaker 14: gets a lot of shine, as they should, a lot
Speaker 14: of these Canadian rings, but that that rank in Dallas
Speaker 14: was as lot as anything I've ever heard of.
Speaker 11: Well, it's the arena, right, I mean it's basically it's
Speaker 11: it's incredible, just the entertainment within that arena out loud
Speaker 11: it gets especially during the playoutside.
Speaker 3: Find all the NHL arenas they just go to.
Speaker 14: Another enough, absolutely best DJ in the league too down
Speaker 14: Aaron Dallas.
Speaker 1: Wow, shouldn't be playing that three doors down? No, that
Speaker 1: was what a peg? Actually, why didn't he say his name?
Speaker 14: Man?
Speaker 1: That was a real messed up opportunity. He knows it.
Speaker 1: He knows Shippy's gone. They've gone. They used to go
Speaker 1: to strip clubs together. Well, I'm wonder there's a butt
Speaker 1: those but you goes? Does he? Is he trying to
Speaker 1: get a job in Dallas because listen to this also
Speaker 1: outside gorgeous plaza.
Speaker 14: Such a beautiful plaza, of course, Josh Bogarod and Darryl
Speaker 14: Razer Ray.
Speaker 1: Of course excellent, big of the best of the business.
Speaker 1: As makes another big save. Okay, so we're shout out
Speaker 1: the broadcasters of the DJ for the stars. Yeah. Does
Speaker 1: he do that for everyone? Or are these really kind words?
Speaker 4: He shouted out the beautiful plaza, He just went full
Speaker 4: trump there.
Speaker 1: Everything was beautiful. He also said American Airline Center is beautiful,
Speaker 1: and like, look, I like the place, but it's it's
Speaker 1: a place.
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean it's not it's a place the Yeah
Speaker 4: you know, Okay, So standard this stud who has a
Speaker 4: hat trick in each last two games in one period. Right,
Speaker 4: it's Retina Retin renting to for I was watching a
Speaker 4: clip of The Dumb Zone talking about this and Jake
Speaker 4: was asking, do you think there's any part of the
Speaker 4: Stars front office and we've kind of kicked this around
Speaker 4: that saw the opportunity with the MAVs trading Luca and said,
Speaker 4: now's the time jump on this or do those things not?
Speaker 1: Are they not involved in anyway? I'll say this, if.
Speaker 4: You're making you know, we've known, you know, front office people,
Speaker 4: you do not make personnel decisions based on the stands,
Speaker 4: and if you do, you lose your ass. They went
Speaker 4: and got a guy that they had an opportunity to
Speaker 4: get that's badass, and he's showing that he's badass.
Speaker 1: I think you should.
Speaker 4: I could be wrong, but I think you make front
Speaker 4: office decisions based on what's great for your team. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they probably live in a silo and they're not looking around.
Speaker 4: But for the fan base, that's a very impactful thing.
Speaker 4: And there's an opportunity to steal some fan share right now.
Speaker 1: For sure. If you're working in ticket sales for the Stars,
Speaker 1: wish for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been talking a lot about millennials. Just a
Speaker 4: quick look with AI. Millennials are often criticized, and these
Speaker 4: criticisms tend toocus on their perceived worth, ethic entitlement, and
Speaker 4: their reliance on technology. Those are the beefs towards millennials.
Speaker 4: But if you think about the third thing, their reliance
Speaker 4: on technology, that sounds like old people saying get off
Speaker 4: my lawn with your technology. That shouldn't be a criticism, right.
Speaker 7: That's more gen z I would think too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, maybe the younger portion of millennials are very
Speaker 1: more reliant than we are.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we had t nine calculators.
Speaker 1: Again, I went to college without ever sending a text
Speaker 1: message when I arrived at college.
Speaker 10: So that's wilde, it's pretty wild, pretty wild crazy.
Speaker 1: So this article in The Ringer had a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: They did a whole bracket, but then they had an
Speaker 1: extra thing outside the bracket of all the things they
Speaker 1: considered putting in the bracket, that just kind of encapsulates
Speaker 1: millennial culture. And uh, Christina, sorry to say we are
Speaker 1: responsible for this one dabbing.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, man, my son when he was like seven,
Speaker 4: thought that was the greatest thing ever, the dab.
Speaker 1: There's a cool video that I guess went viral.
Speaker 4: I guess you could say, but it's a it's a
Speaker 4: kid on a playground, it's one white kid and everybody's dabbing,
Speaker 4: and they're in the line dabbing, and he has the
Speaker 4: worst dab of full time.
Speaker 1: You guys ever seen that? Maybe I have.
Speaker 7: It's good you can dab in fortnite though.
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, fun, if we send that that
Speaker 1: video to my slack channel, yes, Danny McBride, okay, victory
Speaker 1: for you, then, yes it is. We'll take it.
Speaker 4: You guys know who sort of put him on the map, right,
Speaker 4: Bill Will Ferrell, David Gordon Green of Richardson High, Okay.
Speaker 1: Crap together? Yeah, yeah, The Dark Knight.
Speaker 4: It's one of the best movies, one of my favorite
Speaker 4: movies ever, but definitely the best superhero movie I think
Speaker 4: ever made her that little trilogy, right, the second one
Speaker 4: was the is that the Dark Knight?
Speaker 7: The second one?
Speaker 4: That that one is the best of all of them. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't think millennials get credit for that. I would
Speaker 4: have happily traded off to y'all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well no, no, I mean happily.
Speaker 4: Batman's been around for decades and Hew Memento came out
Speaker 4: when you guys are like five, so I don't think
Speaker 4: y'all get credit for that. But that is the best
Speaker 4: version of Batman ever. That's a great movie with Heath Ledger.
Speaker 4: That's the best superhero movie I've ever seen. It's awesome.
Speaker 1: I like the Robert Pattinson one better. Really, it's a
Speaker 1: good one. It's a good one.
Speaker 4: Well, now, the Joker, since they did the whole Joker
Speaker 4: spent off, that thing was better than the first.
Speaker 1: I agree, that was good. The Joker, too, was worse
Speaker 1: than every movie ever made. Wait, okay, so the Joker
Speaker 1: was a spin off of that.
Speaker 4: One Robert Pattinson one. Yeah, Oh, I didn't know that
Speaker 4: that character was in that movie. That actor playing that
Speaker 4: character in that movie.
Speaker 1: He's in the Penguin universe. Yeah you're thinking of the Penguin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, but the Joker is not tied to that, right, Well,
Speaker 4: the Joker probably the same guy that played the Joker, right, Phoenix,
Speaker 4: that's what I thought you were talking about. The Yeah,
Speaker 4: Paul Dana Paul, which, by the way, Paul Dana was
Speaker 4: great in episode one.
Speaker 1: Of the Studio. Oh good job. Yeah, I haven't seen it. Yes, oh, dude, idiot. Yeah,

Speaker 1: I call her mom about a thousand times. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't say that I had off the top of my head. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe what about you see any pet names for your lover?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: I hate pet names, So I think lover is the
Speaker 1: dumbest thing I have you ever introduced your significant other
Speaker 1: is your lover? This is my lover. Dang, I should
Speaker 1: do that. That would make everything real awkward.
Speaker 4: You know what's fun is to introduce your wife and
Speaker 4: then introduce the girl next to you is your lover.
Speaker 4: And I just watched the fireworks, I have introduced you
Speaker 4: as the guzzler.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4: This is my lover and guzzler Ben, So you know
Speaker 4: the the whole study that you find out what is
Speaker 4: gen Z the younger generation doing.
Speaker 1: They do a lot of bro. They call each other bro,
Speaker 1: even if you know they're lovers, but they're bro, you know,
Speaker 1: because they're they're pretty cool bros that are lovers as brothers, right.
Speaker 1: Also Queen and king.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're a world king like that, are you
Speaker 4: looking down on the generation just below you because they're
Speaker 4: young and they're irritating you know?
Speaker 1: I think that's just American tradition at this point. So
Speaker 1: what really got my attention in this article, though, was
Speaker 1: ten pet names for your significant other that gen Z
Speaker 1: finds outdated. So you are really crossing the line if
Speaker 1: you use one of these things so far away anyone
Speaker 1: any guesses?
Speaker 7: How about what we just said? Lover?
Speaker 1: Okay, love on there? Number ten? Actually love probably baby? Right, Babe, babe,
Speaker 1: I'll give you babe. Wait, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 7: Because there's some couples that will just constantly say babe, babe, babe, babe.
Speaker 7: You are not in a healthy relationship.
Speaker 1: Are you, babe? Chris? What about honey? Yes? Number three?
Speaker 7: Hon, honey, honey beer. It's good though. I guess that
Speaker 7: is one I.
Speaker 1: Get called that's just a father John misty thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What about uh sugar number two? Sugar and leave off?
Speaker 1: They are the four letters slang a slur at the end, Okay,
Speaker 1: so not sugar teas? Yeah? What about doll? And'll say
Speaker 1: that's a nice Christina? Christina? Can you print this doll?
Speaker 1: Hey doll?
Speaker 7: Can you be a doll and go pick that?
Speaker 13: Hey?
Speaker 1: Would you.
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 1: Christina? Did you ever say you're getting old dolled up?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 9: I like that.
Speaker 4: I like that because I don't ever it's probably different
Speaker 4: now that there's love dolls. Yeah, yeah, what about love doll,
Speaker 4: love doll?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't see love doll on there? By the way,
Speaker 1: great song, though you'll only be getting two or three
Speaker 1: dolls for Christmas this year, not thirty. Yeah. What about
Speaker 1: love bucket? Love bucket? Not on there? That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Uh love receptacle? No recepticle? When is that ever used
Speaker 1: outside of that one shocking term? Angel?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Darling, which I think Darling should make a comeback
Speaker 1: for the new soccer team Athletico Dallas. Missed a great
Speaker 1: opportunity to be the Garland Darling. I agree. Well, that's
Speaker 1: what they're that's what their groupies are going to be Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can still save that the cheerleaders. That's amazing.
Speaker 4: Bubba Bubba is a love term in prison. Maybe this
Speaker 4: is something that freak Jesus says to everybody.
Speaker 1: Hey, he sent me a joke yesterday and it's not important,
Speaker 1: but that's a good story. No, it's important to say
Speaker 1: on the air, I think because it was a pretty
Speaker 1: good joke. It's on there. Here you go. Even if
Speaker 1: a bear wears socks and shoes, it still has bear feet. Bubba. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's good. And he put me in a good mood
Speaker 1: to get that good last one. And then really the
Speaker 1: only reason we did this. Okay, gen Z thinks you
Speaker 1: can't be calling your significant other muffin.
Speaker 4: You can butter that muffin. What about muffy? I like
Speaker 4: just muff who's singing muffin? I've never even heard that. Hey,
Speaker 4: love muff Have you love Muffin?
Speaker 7: Was the first thing that came to mind.
Speaker 1: I do think you can abbreviate it love muffins.
Speaker 16: And now it's time for Basis week Day up Day,
Speaker 16: featuring veteran news anchor kt fon tweets. Here are the
Speaker 16: important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 1: Something really cool happening tomorrow. I'll tell you about in
Speaker 1: a second. Let's start with last night though, because Jack
Speaker 1: White was in town Tuesday night. It was a big deal.
Speaker 1: We were all talking about it, and then Wednesday just
Speaker 1: sneaking into town because you couldn't see him, he's so small.
Speaker 1: Paul Simon played last night, and I know that play.
Speaker 1: That might not mean a ton to like the Eagle audience,
Speaker 1: I would imagine, but Christina Ray was at the Paul
Speaker 1: Simon show last night.
Speaker 7: And he's pretty iconic. I mean, we had Disturbed covering
Speaker 7: Sound of Silence. We played that quite a bit and
Speaker 7: it's an awesome cover. But yes, Paul Simon was in
Speaker 7: town last night. He's in town again tonight. So for
Speaker 7: a long time I thought I was going tonight last night.
Speaker 7: But yeah, he played at Windspear Opera House and he
Speaker 7: is a tiny, tiny man.
Speaker 1: He's tiny. How many I've never been in the wind Spear?
Speaker 1: How many? Does Actually that is not true. I have
Speaker 1: been in the wind Spear's super nice is it hold
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred?
Speaker 7: I'm like KT and BAB with numbers, but I can
Speaker 7: say it was very intimate. We had great seats on
Speaker 7: the floor right in front of him, right in the center,
Speaker 7: like right by the lighting and sound guy in the backs.
Speaker 1: What hel smully was.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was five about three, okay five to three,
Speaker 4: and you're with an athletically built Mike Soroy. Is his
Speaker 4: full body size about the size of Siroy's torso.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, just about. But again it was very intimate.
Speaker 7: It was probably the quietest concert I've ever been to.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's gotta be seventy eight eighty three more,
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: So that was a thing. I'm like, I think this
Speaker 7: is one the shortest person I've seen perform live, but
Speaker 7: also the oldest too. And he still sounded great. I
Speaker 7: know he was on SNL not too long ago and
Speaker 7: it was kind of iffy, but he sounded awesome all night.
Speaker 7: And there were two different sets he did, like one
Speaker 7: whole set, and he told us before of these like
Speaker 7: seven songs that he just released back in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 7: and I didn't mind him at all. They were gorgeous.
Speaker 7: With this guy behind his was like, this is boring socks.
Speaker 4: A guy at the Windspare Opera House was saying something
Speaker 4: was boring.
Speaker 7: I know, It was like, dude, it's Paul Simon.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 4: That fine for amazing sound. To be able to see
Speaker 4: a show like that there is pretty incredible. I didn't
Speaker 4: even know he was coming. I didn't even hear about this.
Speaker 7: I don't know how Mike found out about it, but yeah,
Speaker 7: so it was just him an acoustic guitar. There was
Speaker 7: like a cello player, a flute. There's a guy with
Speaker 7: a clarinet too.
Speaker 1: Wait, was there heavy drums?
Speaker 7: There was a big drum kit, but I wouldn't say heavy,
Speaker 7: but he did you all like the big hits like
Speaker 7: a Homeward Bound. That was the first song that actually
Speaker 7: made me tear up because I realized, like this might
Speaker 7: be the first and only time I see Paul Simon perform,
Speaker 7: you know. But it was also kind of nice. I
Speaker 7: was like, really appreciate this moment because this isle. And
Speaker 7: then also they played Me and Julio down by the Schoolyard.
Speaker 7: That was like the way to end it. And then
Speaker 7: he came back on for an encore. I was very
Speaker 7: impressed with him.
Speaker 4: Did they have a hologram of Gene Hackman out there?
Speaker 4: During Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard? No, that
Speaker 4: would have been incredible.
Speaker 7: There was a projector behind him, but they didn't really
Speaker 7: put that much up on there. But I will say
Speaker 7: so they did like two songs, two or three songs
Speaker 7: for the encore. Then everyone left the stage and it
Speaker 7: was just Paul Simon and he did this sound silent.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, and I cried so hard, my old friend.
Speaker 7: It was incredible. So again, he's playing another show tonight.
Speaker 7: I don't if it's sold out, but if someone wants
Speaker 7: to go, I don't really recommend it.
Speaker 1: No way, that thing's not sold out.
Speaker 4: The great thing about him is that the parts that
Speaker 4: he sings, there's not a lot of range. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: like even on the Simon and Garfunkel stuff, Garfunkel saying
Speaker 4: all the high harmonies and stuff.
Speaker 7: He had his wife come out for a few songs too.
Speaker 1: Dallas native Edi Berkel, Yeah, ebro Kel.
Speaker 7: Edie Brokell. She is awesome and very tall compared to him.
Speaker 7: She has a great voice.
Speaker 1: So he's the definition of a short king. Yes, he
Speaker 1: is a powerful short guy. Two hundred the capacity at
Speaker 1: the Okay So Tomorrow night at at and T Stadium,
Speaker 1: Post Malone. It's his big stadium tour and Jelly Roll's opening,
Speaker 1: of course, but that's not the reason we're doing this, Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. What he's got is Postman has been promoting
Speaker 1: this big travel and tailgate party at all of these
Speaker 1: huge stadium shows. So from noon until six pm in
Speaker 1: the parking lot of AT and T Stadium, which is
Speaker 1: a huge parking lot. I guess it's all kinds of
Speaker 1: carnival games, tattoos, live music going on. But one thing
Speaker 1: that he did because he went to Grapevine, is he
Speaker 1: invited the Grapevine High School band to come out and
Speaker 1: play at like six pm at the end of his
Speaker 1: like of the big tailgate things. So there's a video
Speaker 1: of the audio is not great, it's kind of muffled up,
Speaker 1: but where the band director is telling all the kids,
Speaker 1: you have been invited to come play at and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: Post Malone is inviting you to come play. God, that's cool,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not. It's not like they're gonna
Speaker 1: be on stage, well, like they could be, but that
Speaker 1: the whole plan is like they're gonna be out in
Speaker 1: the tailgate and like it's huge. Like I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: the amount of crap that they're promoting They're they're giving
Speaker 1: away a motorcycle, beer, carnival games and then uh, and
Speaker 1: then that is just what a cool thing for a
Speaker 1: high school kid.
Speaker 7: I think our friends like Billy the Kid are involved
Speaker 7: with They did help.
Speaker 1: Do that, I know, saying that the program director at
Speaker 1: Mix one O two nine, Zan, I know she helped
Speaker 1: had something to do with this.
Speaker 7: Yeah, s werked your ass off, get to happen, So
Speaker 7: that's cool.
Speaker 1: That's badass, man. I love that. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: there's like a big thing at Canes tomorrow too that
Speaker 1: can location the one yes right Northwest Highway and thirty five,
Speaker 1: it's the blue the one that's Cowboys Scars that they're
Speaker 1: having a merch pop up there tomorrow. All right, cool,
Speaker 1: fantastic postal on them. This sucks song and that's that
Speaker 1: technical Therefore, obviously, where did I hear that? What is
Speaker 1: that from? That's from Twister? That's right, sucks Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Speaker 1: the star of the movie. No offense to Bill Paxton.
Speaker 1: So the Suck Zone is a new segment that's really
Speaker 1: just following up on some stories that we might have
Speaker 1: done over the past week, and you kind of go
Speaker 1: an update's happened, but we haven't dedicated a full segment
Speaker 1: to it. So last week was the big week of
Speaker 1: one hundred men versus a Gorilla, which spun off into
Speaker 1: if you don't know what that was. It was a
Speaker 1: thing that popped up on Twitter just to hypothetical, and
Speaker 1: that's spun off to John Mulaney, the comedian who hosted
Speaker 1: Netflix talk show for Wednesday Night. He said that on
Speaker 1: a season finale on he is going to fight three
Speaker 1: fourteen year old boys. All right, So you hear that
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, that's funny. Well, last night, this
Speaker 1: is what he revealed. All Right, The moment is nigh.
Speaker 8: We're about to reveal my first challenger for a teenager
Speaker 8: fight night. But I'd like to say first that a
Speaker 8: lot of people have been contacting me. Some'm very concerned
Speaker 8: about my promise on our final episode May twenty eighth,
Speaker 8: to fight three fourteen year olds. You've been asking me
Speaker 8: questions like, John, why would you do this? Why would
Speaker 8: you fight boys? That's your first mistake right there. Fourteen
Speaker 8: year olds are young men. Calling them boys or children
Speaker 8: will only result in those little bastards becoming full psychos.
Speaker 8: If there is truly a crisis of young men in
Speaker 8: this country, as many say, there is. I guarantee you
Speaker 8: the solution is not podcasting at them. Perhaps the greatest
Speaker 8: danger facing young people today is that most of the
Speaker 8: life advice they get comes from misshapen men making video
Speaker 8: essays in their basements.
Speaker 1: Okay, so pretty funny setup. Right now, he's turned it
Speaker 1: back on everyone else too, and almost taken up for
Speaker 1: the boys. So he's basically said, you know what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're going to reveal them one week at
Speaker 1: a time. Here's boy number one or young man number one.
Speaker 1: So here is.
Speaker 7: You actually have someone? Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: I should have showed you guys a picture of this.
Speaker 8: Now, with all that said, I'm ready to learn the
Speaker 8: identity of my first adolescent adversary, who, again I have
Speaker 8: not seen until this moment. Richard take it away, ladies.
Speaker 6: Her first fourteen year old challenger stands at a whopping
Speaker 6: five eight inches tall and still growing, weighing in at
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty two pounds.
Speaker 1: WHOA give it up.
Speaker 6: For Ben, whose last name we cannot say.
Speaker 1: I was Ben. I'm fourteen years old.
Speaker 13: I am extremely confident that I'm going to beat up
Speaker 13: John Mullaney. I think beating up John mulaney would help
Speaker 13: my self esteem a lot and help me grow as
Speaker 13: a person.
Speaker 1: Also, it would really help my popularity.
Speaker 8: Coming for you, John, To all of the writers and
Speaker 8: people behind the scenes who picked that first challenger, I'm thinking,
Speaker 8: thank you. I don't know how popular May twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: Is gonna make you.
Speaker 8: You have a deep voice, I'll give you that, rich
Speaker 8: What do you.
Speaker 1: Think I think you're fighting young men. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: You're not alone. That's our show.
Speaker 8: My thanks Andy sire.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait till next Wednesday night to see the
Speaker 1: second young boy. Wait, don't say that, but like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it was so fun. So what did he
Speaker 1: look like? Did it look like.
Speaker 4: When you just looked at that kid, did you think
Speaker 4: that would be anywhere close to a fair fight?
Speaker 1: I thought, I didn't think he's not he's not skinny,
Speaker 1: hetty solid. Yeah, he's pretty solid, and I was. I
Speaker 1: kept thinking, like, he's just a little shorter than me.
Speaker 7: He's about like twenty pounds more than me, like my height,
Speaker 7: my same height, and add twenty more pounds to me.
Speaker 7: That that's it.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind seeing Christina fight John mulane good or
Speaker 4: Christina and KT.
Speaker 1: Oh, dude, y'all should fight.
Speaker 7: I don't want to fight anyone.
Speaker 1: Okay, Christina and my three kids against KT. I like that.
Speaker 1: That'd be great because a college man, I just wouldn't
Speaker 1: have it in me. I don't think i'd have it
Speaker 1: in me to physically hurt anyone.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get three kids in a female and
Speaker 4: have him fight a pacifist.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, the old Well okay, so my thought
Speaker 1: was that three of these guys could probably take him,
Speaker 1: but one that he would handle him. But I mean,
Speaker 1: John m'landy's pretty slender, dude, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 7: I don't know where this is going. Go ahead, sorry, skin?
Speaker 7: What are his stats? John mulaney like his heightened.
Speaker 1: He's probably six three and a half or six voice tall. Right,
Speaker 1: let's kind of type it in and find out. I
Speaker 1: truly don't know.
Speaker 4: One of the problems with this he's he's just six
Speaker 4: feet tall. Oh wow, I thought I saw that. One
Speaker 4: of the problems with this scenario is in order to
Speaker 4: go hit somebody, you have to muster up the angst
Speaker 4: or the energy or the fight or whatever. Like, how
Speaker 4: are you gonna get interested in going and hitting?
Speaker 1: No? Right, that's then that's why I wonder, Like he's
Speaker 1: promising this thing and this long drawn up bit that
Speaker 1: has bits of it weeks at a time, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he can't back out of this. But at first I
Speaker 1: was like, man, he's kind of skinny and he's kind
Speaker 1: of uh. I don't know. There's something about him, the
Speaker 1: way he talks, he would make you think this guy,
Speaker 1: But then I remember, this guy has been doing hard
Speaker 1: drug since he was team. He grew up on the
Speaker 1: bad side of Chicago, like he does have a background.
Speaker 4: This will never happen, which makes me wonder where it's going.
Speaker 4: But I'm along for the ride again.
Speaker 1: This thing's big, all right. This coyways made traders today.
Speaker 1: We talked about a little bit yesterday's show. George Pickens
Speaker 1: is your newest Dallas Cowboy. George Pickens good wide receiver
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Coways give up a third
Speaker 1: round picking next year's draft for him. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that go with George Pickens. He's an incredible athlete.
Speaker 1: He has it's not even off the field stuff. It's
Speaker 1: actually a lot of on the field problems, and then
Speaker 1: like he's just he's he's very wild ass, just probably
Speaker 1: the best description of him. The potential is incredible, and
Speaker 1: then everything else is very much up in the air.
Speaker 1: So he comes to Dallas on a contract here and
Speaker 1: there's a lot to talk about here, but I want
Speaker 1: to read something to you guys. First. John, a shot
Speaker 1: of the Athletic, was doing article with a beat writer
Speaker 1: for the Steelers, and one thing that they were talking
Speaker 1: about was the contract scenario. So he comes here, has
Speaker 1: the same agent as Micah Parsons, who is not in
Speaker 1: a contract year, but next year would be in a
Speaker 1: contract year. And there's an idea of like the Steelers
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of him now because he would
Speaker 1: have poisoned the well if he held out for training camp.
Speaker 1: And here's what the Steelers writer said. Here's the question
Speaker 1: from Mishoda. Do you think there's a chance Pickens would
Speaker 1: sit out until he gets a new deal? And the
Speaker 1: Steelers riter said, just a few years ago, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: he goes. I felt trading Pickens now made more sense
Speaker 1: rather than waiting into uncertain waters and potentially inviting a
Speaker 1: messy situation in training camp. He hasn't acted in a
Speaker 1: rational way previously. It wouldn't surprise me if he's willing
Speaker 1: to be fined in camp or even into the season
Speaker 1: by holding out. Okay, that's where it's a bad trade
Speaker 1: if it got there.
Speaker 4: There's so much to discuss, and I think this all
Speaker 4: of this For me personally, it has to do with
Speaker 4: the emotional roller coaster of being a Dallas Cowboy fan.
Speaker 4: And I know that there's a lot of people that
Speaker 4: feel the same. But from Afar watching George Pickens, I
Speaker 4: was like, good God, this guy's a head case. Look
Speaker 4: at what he's fighting Jordan Lewis in a game. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm team Jordan Lewis. This guy is out of his mind,
Speaker 4: all the issues he has off the field. The minute
Speaker 4: he's a Dallas Cowboy. I'm like, yes, he's fixed, but
Speaker 4: he'll never have any more problems ever.
Speaker 1: Again, this is great.
Speaker 4: So I've had time just to do some research and
Speaker 4: think about it, read about it, listen to other people
Speaker 4: about it, and just try to wrap my brain around it.
Speaker 4: From a fit standpoint, this is exactly what this offense needs.
Speaker 4: A big, tall receiver who's a vertical threat. Dak hasn't
Speaker 4: had that. You look at the guys he's had to
Speaker 4: throw the ball down the field to. I mean the
Speaker 4: last good one he had was Michael Gallup when before
Speaker 4: he got hurt. He's had little guys since then. Those
Speaker 4: little guys aren't good at running those go routes. It
Speaker 4: just doesn't work the same. You need a big guy
Speaker 4: that could get up the field and compliment Ceed Lamb.
Speaker 4: And that's exactly what he is. That's what Tederoa McMillan
Speaker 4: would have been, right if he had dropped there.
Speaker 1: And so like the tallest pickings six, he's the same
Speaker 1: size as Ceed Lamb pretty much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so it's like this guy, this is exactly
Speaker 4: what they need. An X receiver, tall, good target down
Speaker 4: the field, gets downfield speed like he's a perfect compliment
Speaker 4: to what CD does on the field. It's like ideal.
Speaker 4: But then you start looking, Okay, why is this guy available.
Speaker 4: He's twenty four, he's gonna get you a thousand yards
Speaker 4: a year. He's one of the best receivers in the league,
Speaker 4: but not quite like he's in the Tier two right right,
Speaker 4: And so if you look at what the tier two
Speaker 4: guys make, like I've heard speculation that the Cowboys are
Speaker 4: about to pay Jalen Tolbert he was in a contract.
Speaker 4: You're right, like ten to twelve, right, there's no way
Speaker 4: they Jalen Tolbert. Ferguson is about in that same range,
Speaker 4: probably be in that ten to twelve if they decide
Speaker 4: to pay him, or they or they let them want.
Speaker 1: And just so I'm on the same page with you guys.
Speaker 4: You guys leave that Ferguson's a better tight end than
Speaker 4: Tolbert his receiver sitka Okay. And so if you look
Speaker 4: at the highest paid number two receivers in the league,
Speaker 4: they're all between twenty and twenty eight twenty nine million.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: The number one, like CD's at thirty five, But there's
Speaker 4: some guys who are at twenty eight, twenty six, twenty seven,
Speaker 4: twenty five. So if you're George Pickens, who a lot
Speaker 4: of people took him off their draft board, They're like,
Speaker 4: we're not drafting him no matter what. He had got
Speaker 4: into a lot of trouble in college. He's gotten into
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble in the pros. He's been fined
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars in one season alone. He got fined
Speaker 4: two hundred grand for missing team meeting, showing up late,
Speaker 4: not you know, on the second round contract being a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and not only making a million whatever, that's a lot.
Speaker 4: That's a huge fine. So I've I have heard some speculations.
Speaker 4: People are like, dude, that he doesn't want to sign
Speaker 4: a deal because he wants to go have Dacbus quarterback.
Speaker 4: He's had bad quarterbacks and he's going to go earn
Speaker 4: his next contract, so he doesn't want a deal. Like
Speaker 4: that's try report of that. That's why I don't think
Speaker 4: he would hold out that. I don't think he would either.
Speaker 4: And I've heard that the Cowboys don't want that either.
Speaker 4: They're like, why would we rush out and do a deal.
Speaker 4: Let's see how this goes. We're about to get George
Speaker 4: Pickens on his best possible behavior. Yeah, or he's going
Speaker 4: to go try to get a contract. And the thought
Speaker 4: is if he leaves, well they'll just go get a
Speaker 4: competit story pick for him.
Speaker 1: Right. So that's the risk.
Speaker 4: And so if he put up big numbers, let's say that,
Speaker 4: Let's say he goes crazy and he puts up twelve
Speaker 4: hundred yards and eight touchdown, ten touches whatever, what and go.
Speaker 4: And let's say he gets north of twenty four million
Speaker 4: dollars per year and they don't want to pay it.
Speaker 4: What com story pick would they get. Would they get
Speaker 4: a third round pick?
Speaker 1: It'd be a late third round pick. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: it'd be like what you're giving up probably if you're good, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and you get it back into twenty seven drive.
Speaker 4: It'd just be a year delayed. But they, at least
Speaker 4: right now, are going for it. And I also heard speculation.
Speaker 4: I heard somebody say, I think it was Broadus who
Speaker 4: said something like, you know, a GM that's worried about
Speaker 4: keeping their job doesn't make this trade.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey, nobody in this organization is going anywhere unless
Speaker 4: they decide they want to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: Sure Like this is the epitome.
Speaker 4: It's kind of their whole reason they kept Schottenheimer, right,
Speaker 4: this was a guy nobody was trying to hire.
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm not at all worried about Schottenheimer as a coach.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 4: He may not be a great coach, but I don't
Speaker 4: think he's going to be a bad coach. I don't
Speaker 4: think if you grew up in the NFL, you're going
Speaker 4: to be a bad coach. I think he might just
Speaker 4: be a pedestrian coach. What I'm hoping is that he
Speaker 4: actually has some great ideas, and I do think that there.
Speaker 4: It always excites me when you're bringing in fresh blood,
Speaker 4: young coaches. Now that doesn't mean they're good, sure, right,
Speaker 4: but but like I would just take you back to
Speaker 4: eight years ago and all the coaches that everyone's talking about, now,
Speaker 4: nobody knew who they were. Nobody was talking about the
Speaker 4: McVeigh when he was the quarterback coach in Washington. It
Speaker 4: wasn't until he got out from underneath that, and everyone's
Speaker 4: talking about like, that's where fresh blood comes from. In
Speaker 4: the fact that there's fresh blood in the organization. I
Speaker 4: love that. It may all suck, but I love that.
Speaker 4: But I don't based on how the Cowboys have operated,
Speaker 4: I cannot see a scenario in which they have to
Speaker 4: pay Micah Parsons that they are going to pay their
Speaker 4: second receiver twenty five million when they're paying their top
Speaker 4: receiver thirty five I cannot even begin Then they have
Speaker 4: the highest paid quarterback currently, I cannot, in any way
Speaker 4: my brain cannot fathom the Cowboys ever doing anything like that,
Speaker 4: especially and Look, if you're going to pick a position
Speaker 4: for a guy to be a wild ass, I either
Speaker 4: want that wild ass to be a wide receiver or
Speaker 4: a cornerback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, the Bengals are your example. It's t Higgins
Speaker 1: who just got signed for twenty eight million, but they
Speaker 1: franchised him for a year. Right, they could franchise tag
Speaker 1: him too if they wanted two years of him. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I get the felizing a wide receiver, Oh my god,
Speaker 4: should be in the nuts.
Speaker 1: Well, if you got a franchise someone, probably so.
Speaker 4: I also think about the Cowboys are trying to improve
Speaker 4: their colture. Like if you look at all the guys
Speaker 4: they draft, they tried to draft team captains. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: is an anti culture guy. This is Jason Garrett stuff.
Speaker 4: This is team captains. And then we're bringing in yeah,
Speaker 4: Greg Hardy.
Speaker 1: He's it's but it's that vibe. And Gregory had questions yeah.
Speaker 4: Or or does you know? And and but uh, I
Speaker 4: think about what wasn't it? Rick Carlisle said it can't
Speaker 4: all be milk drinkers.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can.
Speaker 4: You can have one guy, right, like you can't have
Speaker 4: a bunch of those guys. But I don't know It'll
Speaker 4: be interesting to see how it goes too, because I
Speaker 4: don't know that there's a team out there based on
Speaker 4: George Pickens pass that wants to pay him twenty eight
Speaker 4: million even if.
Speaker 1: He goes crazy.
Speaker 4: He ain't getting that d He's got warts and you've
Speaker 4: got concerns bringing him in. So what if you could,
Speaker 4: you know, would they to fortify the sixty million they're
Speaker 4: paying Dak And if if he goes out and has
Speaker 4: a big year, would they pay Pickings eighteen twenty million
Speaker 4: a year?
Speaker 1: And what he accepts?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was What else is out there for if
Speaker 4: he goes and that's a great point. If he goes
Speaker 4: out there and puts up the numbers that would justify
Speaker 4: paying in big, You're not going to pay him big
Speaker 4: like you would have to be like Jacksonville or somebody
Speaker 4: going all right, yeah, we time for us to spend
Speaker 4: some money. We'll spend money on this guy. Which if
Speaker 4: that's the case, that's fine. You do let him go
Speaker 4: and you replenish what this reminds me of the kind
Speaker 4: of move it is. It reminds me of the kind
Speaker 4: of move that we all thought the Cowboys would make
Speaker 4: the last three or four years. Because Jerry is a
Speaker 4: thousand years old, right, you know they should have been
Speaker 4: doing but this, you know what this move was for
Speaker 4: the Steelers in a tiny way. This was the Luca trade.
Speaker 4: They're like, we don't want to pay him. Yeah, we
Speaker 4: don't think this is gonna get any better. Let's get
Speaker 4: something for him now. They were sick of that dude,
Speaker 4: like they're sick of him, and dude, they he's a
Speaker 4: twenty four year old, badass receiver and they need receivers
Speaker 4: horribly bad.
Speaker 1: You know what a funny thing Antonio Brown and these
Speaker 1: they're really not that comparable as players. Antonio Brown who
Speaker 1: was there for a long time and eventually we're on
Speaker 1: his welcome there. I think everyone says about Antonio bround
Speaker 1: though he practiced hard, he worked his ass off. George
Speaker 1: Pickens is a guy who after game we'll say, yeah
Speaker 1: at it and block him that run play at don't
Speaker 1: want to get hurt? Yes, he said that. What you know,
Speaker 1: I record? You know, maybe you know tearing your ACL
Speaker 1: doesn't help us either, so maybe don't get pulled up
Speaker 1: on dude. But man, he is. They they couldn't wait
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. Now this will happen but it's.
Speaker 4: A perfect fit on the field for the Cowboys, and
Speaker 4: for one year he'll be on his best behavior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe to work.
Speaker 4: I agree, lie to him and say, hey, man, go
Speaker 4: out there and earn it, and then turn your back
Speaker 4: on him next year.
Speaker 1: And now teams can't triple cover ceede lamb Right, that's
Speaker 1: the best part.
Speaker 4: And dude, it helps the run game too, yes, because
Speaker 4: now you're gonna get people in cover two.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get the safety out of the box. Now
Speaker 1: you can run. It helps Ferguson.
Speaker 4: I mean, I love it on the field, but again,
Speaker 4: I have zero interest in him being a Cowboy after
Speaker 4: next year. This season, right it out for one year
Speaker 4: and then you go get the next Teto McMillan in
Speaker 4: next year's Trapped.
Speaker 1: You can let's do it, all right.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget the time that Kat had a chance
Speaker 4: to draft Ted McMillan. He looked him dead in the eye.
Speaker 4: He showed him his card and he.
Speaker 1: Said, I think I would say never change, you know,
Speaker 1: but also change.
Speaker 4: Which is a weird thing to say to a rookie
Speaker 4: that's gonna do it for us. But Christina is going
Speaker 4: to stick around and play tunes right here on the eagle.
Speaker 2: Here you going, So I'm gonna get some cheeks after
Speaker 2: this horse powers joint.
Speaker 1: All right, enough fun in games,
