Speaker 1: God, I heard the strangest thing last night. So before
Speaker 1: we get into this, I'll just go around the table
Speaker 1: start with you. KT will start with you for once.
Speaker 1: What's your opinion of Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 2: I think he's entertaining and fun, and I wouldn't want
Speaker 2: him on my team.
Speaker 3: Ben, I think he's annoying, obnoxious, gets on my nerves
Speaker 3: and I'd let him shoot anytime he wanted to shoot.
Speaker 4: But if you let him get to the basket and
Speaker 4: don't get in front of him, he's gonna eat a
Speaker 4: bucket every time.
Speaker 5: Christina, I agree with Ben. Drama drama, drama, drama.
Speaker 1: Did you guys happen to hear what JJ Burrea said
Speaker 1: last night about hanging out with Russell Westbrook? No, I
Speaker 1: mean I almost couldn't move forward with my evening, but
Speaker 1: it was so amazing and so appropriate. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about it all day.
Speaker 4: JJ.
Speaker 1: You know, last night the JJ was on the broadcast,
Speaker 1: Brea and the Mavericks were playing the Nuggets and we're
Speaker 1: talking about the intensity with which Russell Westbrook plays. Now,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is an absolute freak of nature. He's thirty
Speaker 1: six years old and athletically he still looks like he's
Speaker 1: twenty three.
Speaker 4: Like it's insane.
Speaker 1: How hard he goes, how hard he plays, He doesn't
Speaker 1: miss time. He is, without a doubt, a freak of nature.
Speaker 1: And I've heard other professional athletes, not even basketball players,
Speaker 1: talk about him with complete awe, just like, man, that's
Speaker 1: the most competitive person I've ever seen. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to comprehend what I'm watching. So Brea was
Speaker 1: like dogging, you know, being anecdotal, and he was like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you know, I finally got to know him in the bubble,
Speaker 1: cause you guys, remember when the pandemic happened and all
Speaker 1: these teams flew to Epcot Center or wherever the hell
Speaker 1: that was, and they're all hanging out in the bubble together.
Speaker 1: And he described a scenario in which he was hanging
Speaker 1: out with a group of players. What Tyson Chandler was
Speaker 1: apparently there. I guess he was there as a coach.
Speaker 1: Was Tyson still playing then? Tyson might have still been
Speaker 1: playing then those guys four years ago. It's a group
Speaker 1: of guys and are sitting around hanging out, And he goes, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: Russell is just as intense when he's hanging out.
Speaker 4: As he is on the court. What does that mean?
Speaker 4: I was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: He goes well, man, Like we'd be sitting there and
Speaker 1: he'd just start doing some push ups.
Speaker 4: That's crazy, dude. Why the ocd he was.
Speaker 1: Doing push ups socially social push ups? Social push ups.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, man, he talks really fast and
Speaker 1: he's really intense, and then he'll just start doing some
Speaker 1: push ups.
Speaker 3: Oh no, it was like on, uh, natural cocaine. I
Speaker 3: guess he's just like air is his cocaine. Can you imagine?
Speaker 1: Oh, you're just sitting there and you're like, hold on, guys,
Speaker 1: and then you just start knocking out some push up.
Speaker 4: I gotta get tenned in real quick. Right, Like at
Speaker 4: the bar at the club. I wouldn't want to hang
Speaker 4: out with that guy, or would not either.
Speaker 1: You're hanging out with people that are in shape for
Speaker 1: a living, you know, yeah, they're not just sitting there, right.
Speaker 1: It's not that you're hanging out with Turtle in the
Speaker 1: game from Entourage and you got to stay in shape.
Speaker 1: These are other professional athletes that are doing the same
Speaker 1: thing you're doing and you got to knock out some
Speaker 1: push ups.
Speaker 4: That's weird.
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? I thought that was one of the
Speaker 1: weirdest things that's ever happened.
Speaker 2: And it is crazy, But I do wonder if there
Speaker 2: is like a thing where he can't help it. He's
Speaker 2: got to do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a push up Tourette's. Yeah.
Speaker 2: This commander's kicker from the other night has really stuck
Speaker 2: with me a little bit over the last couple of days.
Speaker 2: And I know our friend Emily Jones has very bad OCD, doesha.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's got to have everything organized, but I
Speaker 2: don't know how that goes to her, like with her body,
Speaker 2: because like what the kicker was.
Speaker 4: Doing was insane.
Speaker 2: With the shoes, his socks, taking his sock back off,
Speaker 2: putting it back on, hatching all his toes, and then
Speaker 2: the helmet and the hair.
Speaker 1: He would take the helmet, he would he would so
Speaker 1: he doesn't even have hair. He would push over his
Speaker 1: fake hair. I mean he's got a little bit, but
Speaker 1: it's not like long bangs that you need to move
Speaker 1: out of the way. He would push his super short
Speaker 1: hair to the side three times, put the helmet to
Speaker 1: the top of his head, and then take it away
Speaker 1: and do that three more times, and then go through
Speaker 1: that routine.
Speaker 2: Over and over again, which I never knew he's been.
Speaker 2: This guy's been in the league forever, and I never
Speaker 2: knew he had that like I thought I have. We
Speaker 2: all have a little OCD from certain things. I most
Speaker 2: certainly do as I'm still in a long project of
Speaker 2: digitizing VHS tapes at my house. But let me tell you,
Speaker 2: I gotta do it, and I'll be late for something
Speaker 2: because hold on, I gotta put this tape in, start it,
Speaker 2: and then you know, I can finish it late.
Speaker 4: Like I can't stop. I have to do it.
Speaker 3: I'm actually in the process of taking all my DVDs
Speaker 3: and putting them on VHS tapes.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, dude's good because they hold up well. They
Speaker 4: do yeah over time.
Speaker 3: That that tape material really is good.
Speaker 2: So Russell Westbrook would be a beating to hang out with,
Speaker 2: is what we're getting.
Speaker 1: I mean, JJ was, and JJ is pretty new to broadcasting,
Speaker 1: so I don't think he was doing I think he
Speaker 1: was just being genuine. He was saying nice things about Russ.
Speaker 1: He was just like, yeah, man, he's a real intense guy.
Speaker 1: But I got to know him. He was saying it
Speaker 1: in a positive way, like he enjoyed getting to know him.
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that he would just start knocking out
Speaker 1: some push ups.
Speaker 5: Would that be a good bet payoff? We have to
Speaker 5: just do five push ups, like righte mid conversation with
Speaker 5: someone like hold.
Speaker 4: On and you can't say why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm picturing Russell Westbrook doing push ups and
Speaker 3: JJ's getting down there in his level. So what's been
Speaker 3: going on man, trying to connect with him? Have you
Speaker 3: been enjoying your time in the bubble?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well pretty good stuff there, guys.
Speaker 4: I feel like.
Speaker 3: We should play the intro.
Speaker 2: Start time.
Speaker 4: Boys right now, you're ready, ready, ready, ready, and ready
Speaker 4: after do one time Evan with our show. You're gonna
Speaker 4: ruling it, except with a similar free pursuing it dounld
Speaker 4: out Shaw Shank through the sewer kid now with chilling
Speaker 4: at day Eagle. Yeah, we're doing it. Three o'clock on
Speaker 4: the dock. Got a habit for my house, a GOP status,
Speaker 4: Howard starting to get krattic shows that up multiply like
Speaker 4: a rabbit. Tune in so out prank it up, beat
Speaker 4: the habit. I'm wana hang out with a friend. Rocket
Speaker 4: it on the radio. My home's talking on the radio.
Speaker 4: It's time to to this false Oh baby, we go,
Speaker 4: kat Ristine up all up on the radio. All right,
Speaker 4: it is a hump day and we are humping to it.
Speaker 3: And one of the biggest stories in the world right
Speaker 3: now is happening in our backyard. And it has to
Speaker 3: do with what's going on with the Dallas Cowboys in
Speaker 3: their head coaches position and their head coaching position. And
Speaker 3: kat you're a guy who has long been an anti
Speaker 3: McCarthy guy because you were familiar with his work because
Speaker 3: you're a Packers fan, and of course that was where
Speaker 3: he was. And so as you look back over his
Speaker 3: reign of terror in your sports life here in Dallas,
Speaker 3: there's got to be highs and lows along the way,
Speaker 3: so many.
Speaker 2: Highs and lows. And rather than me making a list
Speaker 2: of Dallas Morning News, went ahead and did it for me.
Speaker 4: Did they check with you first? They didn't.
Speaker 2: They didn't, and they never do, even though I'm a
Speaker 2: paying member of their work. Some of the highs though,
Speaker 2: this is kind of a fun walk down memory lane.
Speaker 2: You guys, remember twenty twenty one, the Cowboys lost a
Speaker 2: game to the Broncos, but they came back the next
Speaker 2: week and McCarthy called it red ass Week.
Speaker 4: And this was a week in which Mike.
Speaker 2: McCarthy brought some chafing powder called monkey butt to all
Speaker 2: the players. Oh yeah, and then he smashed Then they
Speaker 2: won forty three to three. The other thing is they
Speaker 2: go that, do you remember the game where they needed
Speaker 2: a big pump up and he smashed all those watermelons?
Speaker 2: Never forget it, and then they won forty three to three.
Speaker 2: Fantastic quirk. That is motivational speaking.
Speaker 4: Both times led to forty three to three. Maybe there's
Speaker 4: different gas. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: One was the Broncos, one was the Falcons. Oh okay, sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: so you come in. You smashed a bunch of watermelons
Speaker 2: in a conference room at a hotel, just destroyed the
Speaker 2: Marriott or whatever. But the team goes out in place
Speaker 2: art because they got to channel the greatness of the
Speaker 2: comedian Gallagher yep, who he claimed he was paying tribute to.
Speaker 4: Because he had just died.
Speaker 3: That the hotel comes after him and he's like, hey man, wonderful,
Speaker 3: what do you want. I was paying tribute to Gallagher.
Speaker 4: We were honoring the great comedian Gallagher.
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of your people who were staying
Speaker 1: overnight did the same thing in honor of Gallagher at
Speaker 1: all the various rooms around the hotel.
Speaker 2: Now look in the in the Dallas Morning News. They
Speaker 2: must have liked McCarthy a lot because one of their
Speaker 2: other high moments is that he coached a game with
Speaker 2: a with a he had his appendix taken out.
Speaker 4: That was impressive. I don't even remember that, I do.
Speaker 1: They said he was didn't he get it taken out
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday? And they showed normal timeframe for returning
Speaker 1: to work and he lapped everyone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that does ring a bell. I remember that.
Speaker 1: It happened like I think it happened on a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and he was coaching Sunday and then Jason wit And said,
Speaker 1: hold my beer.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right, that was good.
Speaker 2: Uh dominating the NFC East, that happened. We'll give him that.
Speaker 4: I mean, did it happen this year?
Speaker 2: How about the home win streak? Do you remember when
Speaker 2: the Cowboys won sixteen straight?
Speaker 1: Gamel On, hold on, I would like to rewind. I
Speaker 1: want to go back. I want to go back to
Speaker 1: dominating the NFC East. Didn't the Eagles play in a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl while he was here?
Speaker 4: Nuh no, oh yeah they did. They won?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but twenty and ten in the NFC, all right, East,
Speaker 2: Meanwhile they're going to Super Bowls. Home win streak. The
Speaker 2: Cowboys won sixteen straight games at home.
Speaker 4: About that.
Speaker 3: There was a time where it fell much they had
Speaker 3: a home field advantage, and then that went away very
Speaker 3: quickly to their final tale, coach.
Speaker 1: When it went away, it went away real hard, like
Speaker 1: a six game losing street.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is it?
Speaker 3: Uh is do home teams lack home field advantages now
Speaker 3: in general? Because people are traveling to watch football games.
Speaker 3: Because I'd go to a Cowboy game and it felt
Speaker 3: like it was fifty to fifty with the other fan base.
Speaker 4: Oh is that wonder? Yeah, it's more fun.
Speaker 5: I'll say that I've traveled twice to different stadiums to
Speaker 5: watch Dolphins on the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: But it's really fun. I agree.
Speaker 2: I mean I've only been to what Lambeau. You just
Speaker 2: just the open air is just it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You just don't want to go to Philly, No, like
Speaker 1: you will get into a fight. Yes, people are asses.
Speaker 5: You've seen that new video, right, Yeah, that Eagles guy
Speaker 5: called okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah he got banned from the stadium. At least they
Speaker 4: stepped up and did the right thing. Yeah, what did
Speaker 4: he do.
Speaker 5: He called this girl who's just kind of cheering for
Speaker 5: the other team mine in her own business, called her
Speaker 5: a sea word and called her ugly and just kept
Speaker 5: going after for no reason.
Speaker 1: Pretty standard Philly stuff. Really, Yeah, poor ladies.
Speaker 2: Just an owner of the Packers out there, just trying
Speaker 2: to enjoy the game like the rest of us.
Speaker 4: That's a bad game.
Speaker 5: Was she a Packers fan?
Speaker 3: She was?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: The Loew's number five, the Lambeau let down twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: McCarthy's triumphant returned to Lambo. If you remember, the Cowboys
Speaker 2: got up twenty eight to fourteen and then blew it.
Speaker 2: If you guys remember that one.
Speaker 4: Uh was that the playoff game? Or no? No, that
Speaker 4: was a that was a regular season game. That was
Speaker 4: a game.
Speaker 2: Christian Watson had four touchdowns in it. The first year
Speaker 2: he brings in Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator. Dak breaks
Speaker 2: his leg in ankle five Week five, and the Cowboys
Speaker 2: were two and seven when they hit the bye week.
Speaker 2: But after the year, you know, it's like, hey, COVID,
Speaker 2: COVID got us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 2: Number three, the playoff loss to San Francisco nineteen to twelve,
Speaker 2: in which the final play was Ezekiel Elliott at center.
Speaker 4: It's the worst moment in the NFL, which.
Speaker 2: I think that's unfair because that's a Kellen. That was
Speaker 2: Kellen's last play with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: That wasn't Mike, if you want, I don't think that's
Speaker 1: as Wait, yeah, that's to me. That's not as bad
Speaker 1: as what I'm sure will be number one. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: number two was the other forty nine ers. Go okay,
Speaker 1: I thought that would be number one.
Speaker 2: The year before Zeke debuted on the offensive line was
Speaker 2: when they tried to go down the field and spike
Speaker 2: it and rent out of time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was so terrible, dude, It was so bad.
Speaker 4: That was Travis's last game as a Cowboy too. That's
Speaker 4: how Travis Frederick went out.
Speaker 3: Him and Zeke went out the same way playing center.
Speaker 4: Is that right? Travis Quitt in twenty twenty one, I
Speaker 4: don't know, dude.
Speaker 3: He might have quared reporting, Yeah, you're you're the Dallas
Speaker 3: Morning News in this scenario, not me.
Speaker 4: Number one.
Speaker 2: It is the forty eight thirty two loss to the
Speaker 2: Packers in the playoffs twenty seven to nothing, getting down
Speaker 2: twenty seven to nothing. You know, again, you could have
Speaker 2: hired dan Quin, but it will look weird if you
Speaker 2: hired a guy who just give it forty eight pints
Speaker 2: in a playf GA. Although Dak threw a pick six
Speaker 2: in that game, so forty one points.
Speaker 1: Okay, So no, So think about what you just laid
Speaker 1: out for his five years. The first year was a disaster,
Speaker 1: then three devastating playoff losses that didn't make sense, and
Speaker 1: then this year, yeah, and then Jerry, and then we're
Speaker 1: going to bring him back for a couple of years
Speaker 1: if he was interested in a short timer.
Speaker 3: Right, if you just take a cheap deal, all right,
Speaker 3: this thing is dysfunctional. The latest Cowboys coaching rumors coming
Speaker 3: to your way at four to ten. Coming up next
Speaker 3: Brooks Shields not on the show, but as a topic.
