Joining us now here on your home of the Cowboys and a good afternoon, Jane, how the heck are you? - I'm doing good, how are you guys? - We're doing great. Brandi cooks, the biggest story out there. How have the Cowboys come to find him unavailable here for the next couple of weeks? - It is a little wild and shout out to Todd Archer for breaking the story first, but I reached out to Source, just need a couple more layers to it because it didn't quite make sense to me, you know, right? Like he said, we stayed behind in New York and he got this injection, which I haven't been able to clarify what exactly the injection was, but I was told that the Cowboys were aware of it. Whatever he was injected with was described to me as, quote, a common solution to avoid a scope for the meniscus. Then he got infected somehow. And when he returned to Dallas, Dr. Dan Cooper, the team doctor, of course, he scoped it to clean out the infection, smooth out the meniscus issue, but while that all sounds a little herky jerky, I was told that Brandon's gonna be great in one to three weeks. I think if this is a situation with the infection that you have questions about it, you know, maybe we don't see him until after the buy, which is, you know, about that three week timetable, but very, very interesting, particularly coming on the heels of the Demarcus Lawrence news this week, as well as the Micah Parsons. So it certainly feels like this guy is falling. It's not, but tough road ahead for some of the Cowboys with this roster. - Yeah, tough break for him and the team. When you were calling around about it, were, was anybody saying anything about his lack of production thus far this season? - Brandon cooked specifically. - Yeah. - Yeah, you know, I listened to Brian Broadest and Bobby Belt and some of the, some of the thoughts that they had, you know, obviously this was a lingering issue, I think, from the summer and, you know, I certainly respect the way Brian and look at the tape. I have access to it as well, you know, NFL Pro, U.S. fans can as well. But when you queue up the tape, it's hard to see if he's missed a step because it seems like, you know, the offense is out of rhythm. One thing I did ask today was, if you go and you look at the stats, there's been a lot of intermediate and short passes this year. They don't really seem like they're, you know, going for the deep ball. And of course we saw this last year, if I'm not wrong, it wasn't until God, I felt like six or seven games in, we started seeing the deep ball and Brandon Cooks getting to it. But I said, is there any, I don't know, lack of trust in this new offensive line, somebody, young guys, is that why you guys have done that? And I had Zach Martin and Zach pressed up, but look at me and go, no, they're like, that's not the issue. It's minor saying that just situationally, they just haven't necessarily been in a spot to air it out. You know, but I've asked the same questions about the run game too. You know, why aren't you guys getting to the run game? Why not activate Dalvin Cook? And I keep being told situationally, they haven't had the opportunity to run the ball per se, but they feel good about their guys. And so it's just, you know, I know it's maddening for the fans to hear. I'm asking the questions, but that's the responses I'm getting. - Jane, yeah, it's, if they were worried about the offensive line, they would help that left tackle more. I mean, he drew 89% of the game against the Giants. He was by himself. You know, if there was concern, they would put some people over there and try and give him an opportunity to make a player to, or to at least have a chance to block in this game, these games. And I definitely think one of the issues you have with this team is it is a very young roster. I mean, they've called upon a lot of these young guys to step up. And I do believe that we're seeing some elements of some growing pains here. And, you know, Stevie will even tell you this, you know, just in terms of the rhythm that hasn't been there with him. You know, he missed three months with this team away from the facility. Now, you know, I, you hope that they're gonna work some of these kinks out here. They have to because as much as people want to see them make a trade for say, a Devontae Adams, or I think a Murray Cooper makes the most sense. I'm being told that those are just not in play. I mean, you heard me ask this today. I mean, they essentially said they like their practice squad guys. They like, you know, the riot borderways. They like what they, they're looking forward to seeing from Jalen Tolbert. And, you know, even when I asked Dak, I said, where has Tolbert game grown? I remember he was one of the receivers that Mike McCarthy had call ahead of the draft and say which, which died you dealt with. And it was Tolbert. I get the sense Dak and him have a really good chemistry and a connection and it was Dak who told me, you know, he's gotten better everywhere. He's a guy that wants to be a one or two, could be and should be. And so this is an opportunity for Jalen Tolbert to show us that. - Jane, do you think there's a position that they would maybe be aggressive at the deadline? I know you just mentioned receiver, but, I mean, running back, the edge rusher with all the injuries, defensive end right now? - I just, I think it would have to be as we always hear. And again, I know the fans are, you know, screaming in their cars into the echo chamber. I think it has to be the right price. And I think you also have to ask yourself to at this point, would one other piece put you over the edge right now? Or do you have so many problems right now? Why would you go out? I mean, 'cause whoever you go and pick up, you're going to have to give up draft capital for. And we know in Dallas, even though they shocked us with the trail dance move, they're going to need those picks to hit next year. When you consider they've got so much money wrapped up in, you know, EDLAM, that Prescott, you're going to have to figure out what to do with Micah Parsons here. You still got in Trayvon Day. I mean, you've got a lot of your salary of some of these key players. And so I've been going back and forth, you know, with the fans today on Twitter about, look, I'm not saying I'm cositing what the Cowboys are doing, but I do understand the reality of what they're doing. Are these guys that you're involved? Now, you can make an argument in Devontay Adams could absolutely be a game changer for you. 1000%. I just wonder if they find themselves going, how much more all in do we want to go given some of the situations that we have on this team already? Given the injuries in the schedule. I mean, if things don't go well against pits, Berg, Detroit looks tough. Then you got San Francisco. If you look up on this team's what? Two in five, two in six. Could you see this maybe turning ugly from McCarthy in season? You know, I hope not, right? I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't want any coach to lose their job. I don't want to see any coach have to uproot their families. I do know that these, you know, these, the coaches that I've developed relationships with, you know, and Mike McCarthy staff in the last couple of years, you know, they all want to be there. This is, this is as unsettling to them as it is for the fans. And, you know, to borrow a Jerry Jones word, I'm sure no one wants to hear the smallest violin, you know, they're all making good money to coach in the NFL, et cetera. But, you know, they're, I don't know what the answer is, if I'm being honest. I do know that we all were in sort of panic mode with the Cowboys last year. And they did manage to turn the season around and then look at the Eagles. They were on this hot run last year and then lost their last five and didn't even win the championship. And this is a team that goes all in. Look at all the all in pieces that the Eagles have right now. I know some people don't like when I bring that up, but that's the reality of it. I mean, look at where the, and they've got injuries, things along those lines, but I mean, you can go all in and sometimes that doesn't all work either. I mean, I, I was equally as frustrated with the Cowboys for drawing. I think if there's a criticism, if you should have gotten a CD lamb and that deals done sooner, so that your team would have had an opportunity to gel a lot sooner. You know, 'cause they didn't play in the preseason, right? And so I think you're seeing some sort of that preseason adjustment here, but I just, I don't see the Cowboys being aggressive. I could be wrong. They have shocked us. Remember it was during the bye week a couple years ago when they went out and got a Mari Cooper, but I think it would have to be an Amari Cooper type player. And I keep pounding my fist down from Mari Cooper because this is a guy that knows the system. He, if you talk to CD lamb, CD lamb will tell you that he reaches out to Cooper all the time. He's a technician. Any, but only count $614,000 against the cap for you. I just personally, based on some of the people I talk to, don't think that a Mari Cooper union is in the car. Yeah, it felt like he got personal with him at the end and it would be tough to trade him for a thrift around pick and then trade back for him for like a third round pick. He'd be like, my gosh, that's a tough deal. Now, what was the special occasion today of practice there, Jane, as we saw the, the Jerry helicopter arriving onto the turf? Or is that just normal? I mean, well, it's not that it's normal, but I have seen it before. I mean, Brian, you've seen it there before too. Maybe flying in during practice is the abnormal aspect of it. I've never seen that before, but I've certainly seen the helicopter on the field as the wide receivers. I think I have a vision of that. Maybe it was Trayvon Diggs rookie year if I'm not wrong. That Jerry Landon was over on the practice. Still, was that a Jerry distraction? I don't know. I never know, Jerry. 'Cause I definitely know, you know, we're talking about a lot of things today as it relates to the Cowboys, but it doesn't help with, you know, the narrative out there about the Cowboys focused on all these other things, but it's not unusual to see the helicopter there. Hey, Jane, I've asked a lot of my media friends this question, and I want to see if I can get a really good answer from you, and I know you, I will. If you could ask Jerry Jones any question and he would give you an honest, truthful answer, what question would you ask him? - Do you really believe that you are the best person for the job of GM, or do you find yourself too personally invested in decisions good or bad moving forward? I mean, you know, he always says that he's looking in the mirror, right? And he's hungry, and I love that about Jerry, right? Like I think all of us, if you truly want to be great at whatever you do, and I've done this over the years, I do it every single year, what can I do differently? How can I be better at my job? How can I help people around me be better at their job? And I know he does that sort of soul searching, but I just, I wonder how much of the ego is attached to it. And it, you know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting, you know, different results, but I just wonder if there's just, you know, if there's one play in the book that would endear him to the fans, handing that over what that would look like, but it's hard to even ask that question, because I think so many have asked it over the years, it's never gonna happen. And on some levels, I understand what he's saying, why have a middleman? In other words, I'm the type of person that very much believes in, if you want something done right, do it by yourself. And I have a really hard time taking my hands off the wheel. I mean, I'm a control freak in that respect. And I think sometimes that allows me to be very good at what I do, but in other ways, I think people could argue you should delegate a little bit more. And so I think that that sort of the argument that Jerry constantly has in his head, but I truly don't ever see it changing. And to be fair, was it Mark Cuban like that? I mean, I don't know if Bill came that much, but I think he's got a very similar sentiment to some of these things these days. - Yeah, I was, like I said, I asked the question of you because hopefully you get, not hopefully you get an honest answer. You get him saying, you know, giving you not, you know, owner speak or coach speak or any of that stuff that we-- - You get the truth zero there. - You get the truth of, you know, I think it's a really good answer that you gave. - Well, and then the other question, I mean, wouldn't you sometimes, wouldn't you like a sacrificial lamb when the season is going awry or there's frustration that you didn't invest? Invest the right weight in the running. I mean, they invested in the running back to realm, but did they invest the right way? I mean, I think all of us heading into this was like, the last time they did a position by committee, it didn't work out well. And they had to go out and get a mori Cooper. And, you know, you go out and you invested in a Dalvin cook who's just sitting there on your practice squad, which still makes no sense to me. And you went and you got all these pieces that running back, but it's like, you've got like a jack of all trades, no master of, and again, they go back and they tell me that you're situationally, how many have been able to get the ball rolling, but I just, there's a part of me. It's like, don't you want to be able to blame somebody for this? And I appreciate that he takes the blame. Yeah. Well, I mean, maybe- But I just, yeah, I don't know. Well, maybe the decision he made was because maybe the decision to trade for trade lance, you know, that's, look what that number is sitting on your books right now for a third quarterback. And it could've got you running back there in the fourth. Yeah. No doubt. That one is another one that is very perplexing. And that's why I think, you know, hopefully they've learned their lesson from that, that it wouldn't make sense to involve themselves in a trade again that would ask for the sort of draft capital, whether it be a second or a fourth, 'cause the Cowboys are really good at drafting and developing- They are very good at it, yeah. And so, you know, you have to give them, you know, credit, you know, their scouting department, you know, player personnel, you name it, I think they do a good job in that respect. And it drives people crazy, but I always tell people too, a lot of fans, and look, we had caught up in it in the media too. Like, why aren't the Cowboys going out and getting the shiny toy? Sometimes the shiny toy isn't the best thing to do, but I think Derek Henry right now is showing you maybe that's a shiny toy. You should have figured out how to afford. Right. You've gotten to spend time, of course, around the Cowboys, but around the Eagles as well. What do you think about this dynamic Eagles players, apparently not happy? Darius Slage, jumping on Micah Parsons podcast, they're talking about CJ Gardner Johnson. You've got the divisional rivalry. Well, what's your take on all this? - People aren't going to like this, but I actually do enjoy covering the Eagles. I think they're a fun team. And I enjoyed covering them in Brazil. I mean, Team Saquon Barkley had the game that he had. It was, you know, with the three, four touchdown games. And Nick Scaryani and Jalen Hurst, when I was at training camp this year, seemed like they had worked their stuff out, but Ryan, he's been rubbing up teams. You guys are covering up teams, man. Winning cares everything and it's there, they're in a slump too. And who would have thought that the commanders are now the team to beat in this division? And they've got picks. They've got cap. It's very, very interesting to me. Kind of how this division is shaking out right now. - We had Antonio Pierce liking things on Instagram, of course, with Devonta Adams. I'm just curious, like, is it commonplace? Do most NFL coaches, head coaches have Instagrams? 'Cause I feel like for me, that's a no go. If you have an Instagram, you're an NFL like coach, what do we do in scrolling Instagram here? - Let's be honest. It was probably someone that brought it to his attention. I mean, we know this with the Cowboys, they're monitoring all of our, all of what we do. We also know that they monitor their players. And so, and that's where sometimes you get it. The rub comes into when you're talking to coaches or whatnot. They have been brought something, you know, like this interview could be taken out of contact. Someone's saying, you know, "Jane, Jerry said you shouldn't be the GM." Well, that's not what I said. I'm saying, like, you have to give it some contact. I didn't say that. I just, that had to be considered that being one option that he had. - Yeah, I asked you a question and you answered it. That's what you did. - Right. And so I think in the full contact, you know, things need contact. And so, I do believe that a lot of times you, I don't think Antonio Pierce is over there on his Instagram scrolling things. I do know that there are coaches that are on Twitter a lot, but I don't have a lot of coaches that I hear are spending a lot of their time on Instagram. A lot of position coaches, but not, especially not older head coaches. Now, Antonio's still kind of young, but yeah, I just, I don't see that one. - Jane, you're the best. It's always a treat whenever we get to catch up and talk with you. Thank you so much and have a great rest of the week. - Appreciate you guys. Bye. - Hi, there she goes.

It's the GBAG Nation on a hump day. Thank you to the on-time experts here as we barrel into the expressway. We'll get you to LA live as quickly as possible. Segments also brought to you by Cards for Kids and so to state of the art weight loss. The wall chuck will give us the headline of the day around the world. But yeah, that's gonna be seven consecutive home losses in the playoffs for the Houston Astros as Detroit sends them packing. A very, very quick playoff run for the Astros and we love to see it here on your home of the World Series Champion, Texas Rangers 105 through the fam. Okay, now we have a couple of things to address here. - Can I ask a question real quick? - No, absolutely, dude. ESPN just posted a thing that said the commanders were looking for their first 4-0 start since 2008. - Is it 4-1? - I was just wondering, they've lost the game already. - Yeah. - ESPN's like running a graphic, see, they confuse me. - I think it's because they're treating their first loss of the season as actually a moral victory. - Okay, that makes sense. - They're playing mind games, you know. - Mr. Positive. - Oh, well, here we go, here we go. Okay, now they change it. - They're seeking first 4-1 start since 2000. - Yeah, they had it, it was, they had, yeah, they had 4-0 and I'm like going, whoa. - Just blame the graphics intern. - You know, and they threw Booker McFarland up there who's my LSU brother, but he confuses me too. So it kind of made sense. - Well, he confuses himself, right? - It kind of made sense of that graphic and then Booker McFarland talking at the same time. - Brodice, what do you think about this? The senior bowl guy, Jim Nagy. - Love Jim Nagy. - Did he do something wrong? - No, it was Nagy? - Jim Nagy. - Okay, Nagy. I was trying to even the benefit of the doubt there. We have his tweet from earlier in the week. I think you saw this 'cause I think you recirculated it. Maybe you didn't see it, but it's interesting as it pertains to this upcoming NFL draft. - About the, he's hearing about the numbers are not good at the overall for the first rounders. - Yeah, the amount of first round blades. - It's low, yes. - Oh. - And it really just, it kind of-- - And then real quick, then my buddy Bobby DePaul, who I worked with in Philadelphia and Bobby then, he saw my tweet and then Bobby does scouting too for an organization. Bobby then texted me and said, "Wait a minute." 'Cause I've already looked at, he's looked at a couple of hundred guys already and he says, "I don't know about that one, Brian." I don't know. - Yeah, he's an Aggies ball sack in us. - No, Nagy would know because he's dealing, but Bobby DePaul was a pro-persono guy for a long time in this league. - Bobby DePaul just sounds like a badass. - It seems like a guy who commands respect. - He's an ocean city Maryland guy. - Well connected. - Probably having a crab cake right now, watching film, love DePaul. - But he told me, he saw the tweet that I retweeted and he said, "I don't know about that one, Brian," he goes, "I've looked at this," 'cause I've looked at a lot of guys already that look like pretty good players. - Okay, well I think the implication is if this upcoming draft is a little bit watered down in the first round talent, maybe teams will be more willing to spend a first round pick at the trade deadline to get somebody. So that's kind of like how it ties in to right now. - We're at the final, I believe we're at the final cycle of the COVID players. Remember the COVID players? - Yeah, the extra year. I think this is the last year of the season. - I think, yeah. - It ended, it was played in the college football for like a decade. - Yeah, there's a quarterback that's been-- - Came rising, came rising. It's been around forever. Alan Bowman's been around forever. - See, but that's what I'm saying though, when I know the scouts were concerned, not concerned, they don't mind looking at players, but a lot of scouts had like an extra like 500, 600 players. But now you got the NIL stuff. And guys are staying in longer to get money that they don't want to come out. They don't want to come out early. They're better off staying in and getting paid. But I think we're at the final cycle of these sixth year guys because of the COVID stuff that all these guys got. - Well, the original report from Nagy, the senior bull guy just says that he spoke to four NFL executives in the past week and they all said the same thing about this upcoming draft, which is there is an unusually small number of surefire first rounders this year. So he said some of these guys believe there's less than 10 consensus first round grades right now. - That would be that would be pretty crazy low. - That would be about eight to 10 players low because usually get between 18 and 22. - Gosh. - First round grades. - First round grades. - What happened in the quarterbacks or so? - Who knows? I mean this year. - When is it not? - I just saw a lot of draft that had your guy Nussmeyer going in the top 10. - Nussmeyer's done a really nice job at LSU. I mean, he's football smart, of course, his dad, but he's legitimately a really talented guy throwing that football. - Okay, now we-- - Fearless. - The way he does it too. - Speaking of fearlessness, Walchuck pointed to me in this direction a couple of hours ago and we need to acknowledge it here. - Oh my goodness. This is crazy. Chad Johnson. - What is he doing? - @OchoCinco on Twitter tweeted out just randomly. - Kind of a wiry guy, right? - Yeah. - He's built. - Yeah, I think he's kind of a wiry. - He's more muscular and a bit thicker now than he was in his playing days. - But I don't think there's much fat on him, right? - No, no. Despite all McDonald's he eats, he's in great shape. - He's in great shape. - His metabolism is insane. - Yeah. - Well, he tweeted out randomly a few hours ago. He says, "I'm fighting James Harrison." - Yeah. - The linebacker? - Yeah, the former stealer. - The way we saw that guy at the Super Bowl. - Yeah, we did. - He's huge. - We saw him tell Pat McAfee live and in person that he's currently weighing 300 pounds as a guy who's 5'10" and not fat at all. - Okay. - You can't put any more muscle into a 5'10" body. This is the same James Harrison who has CTE to 1,000 players. And then also, yes. - The volleyball, the medicine ball. - The medicine ball. - Yeah, yeah. - Where he throws them and catches them. He is a one of one freak show. - He's a terrifying individual. - Five, 10, 300 pounds worth of muscle. And Chad Johnson says he's fighting James Harrison in an exhibition MMA. - Oh, God. - Three round bow. - Crash it out, bro. He's crashing out. - Thank you. - And it's in New Orleans before the Super Bowl. And Chad Johnson is alleging that he's so excited about it. - I gotta make Mayweather numbers to fight that dude. You know what I mean? - Yeah, there's gotta be a hundred million dollars after this fight. - Like a lifetime, like I don't have to lift a finger ever again. - This is a Netflix. - This is kind of a thing. Maybe, you know? - I could see Netflix getting in the game one. - Oh, I'm terrified. - Maybe a lot of bidders, you know. There's a lot of networks that have been craving. - There'll be there for the Super Bowl. Maybe he fights when we're there. - Yeah. - Well, somebody responded to him. Bogey, bogey 23 responded to Ojusinka. Said, damn, y'all both that broke. Thought you were responsible with your money, Chad. - Wow. - Whoa, whoa, you can't do that. - What are we doing? - And Chad responded, "Are you stupid or dumb?" Question mark. (laughing) So. - Put it in his place. - It is fair to be like, there's only one reason why you would rationally do this. And it's because you need money so bad. - Yeah. - We've seen Adrian Peterson do this. You know, we've seen. - Laveon Bell. - Yeah, Laveon Bell, whatever. - But. - Like Tyson? - But Chad Johnson is not in need for the money, which makes you wonder, is this a rollout for something that's different? Is he ball-sacking us? I'd like to think he has more integrity than that. - That's just such a scary person to sign up to do that with. - MMA, you know, like. - Choke you out. - This is a, this is a. - Break your arm? - At least a 100 pound. I'm assuming Chad Johnson probably in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. And James Harrison. - But there has. - 300 pounds. - Okay, there has to be some type of. - Those are bear paws. - I know. - James Harrison putting his hands on you. This isn't boxing. He gets to grab you and throw you around. And I mean, can you imagine a James Harrison ground in pound? That's scarier than Brock Lesnar. - Full amount. Yeah, that's absolutely terrifying. - You guys think Chipotle brisket thing is gonna be any good? - I've heard some people say it is pretty good. Did you guys capitalize on the Taco Bell dollar taco? - No, I heard that. - That was a really cool deal. - Yeah, that was good. Taco Bell gets in, yes, with their specials. And they also do the steel of a silo taco coming up here soon. I think for the World Series, it's a really thing they do as well. - I just wonder if Chipotle the brisket thing is really good, the brisket that they serve. - I can understand being like, if you're somebody that's a brisket connoisseur, - Right. - Like barbecue steel. - You would not go that way. - No. - You would do that. Okay. - No. - Just wanna make sure. - Yeah, if you're like, I don't know, if you're in the Northeast, or if you're in the Pacific coast. - Oh, wow, best brisket I ever had. - I could see this really getting the job done for you. This is probably gonna end up being embarrassing here in the great state. - Speaking of like crossover MMA fights, I saw a bud Crawford today was saying that Conor McGregor tried to get in on, but it would have been an MMA fight. It would not have been a boxing fight with the two of them and Bud's like, no, I'm-- - Trying to get that bridge. - I'm not doing that. Like, you're not gonna be kicking me an elbowing bit. Conor McGregor wanted to run it back one more time. - Yeah. - Maybe I can get 25 million out of this. - When's the last time he won? Does he won in a while? Like, be cowboy. - Like, be cowboy. - It's probably like four years ago now. - But wasn't cowboy scrun-- Was he retiring or so? - Yeah, he retired probably like a year later or two years later. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. - Getting some feedback on the Chipotle old brisket here. 469 says it's good, sweet but decent. 832 says didn't like the brisket. - Okay. - 469 says not good. - Okay. - 714 says it's Chipotle brisket, not real brisket, but very solid stuff. So as long as you go in there with the right expectations that you're eating some level of like faux brisket. - They're making it look like-- - You can stomach it. - They're making it look like they're cooking it nine hours and wrapping it and, you know, using the beef tallow and stuff, they're making it look like-- - Yeah, you're getting ball sack there. I gotta say, 972 says the brisket is tasty, spicier than you'd think, but not brisket brisket. - Okay. - So someone says-- - Thank you folks, thank you folks for chiming in, I really appreciate you. - Chidoba, and I'm not the last time you went to Nova. Hey, Chidoba, I think it is better than Chipotle. - I had a Doba run for the ages for about three years. - Where's the Chidoba place? - It's way more affordable, they don't charge for the queso. - They have, they were over by my place in the 817. They have a couple of them. - Oh, I have to take a plane to get to your place. - No, I'm sure they have, I mean, if one of them-- - They've got all of them in the actual place, they've got them in Plano. - Okay, well, thank you. - It's like a Chipotle choice. - It's like a Chipotle choice. - Like a-- - I think I was having to go to one field. - It's free birds, it's Chidoba, and it's such a polling. Like, those are the three big-- - Hey, they got three birds and there's mo's out there, I haven't actually been to mo's. - Can't forget about mo's. - I remember I brought free birds one time for Lucius, then that bag must await 30 po's. I can't get those bad pois in. I got steak ones. - Yeah. - They can be heavy. - Those free birds. - I'm gonna about Tricky Doba, I think it's better. - Could Doba. - Do you get, what meat do you get there? - They had like a special sriracha type of chicken that I tried out. - Okay, that's-- - It was good. It had a nice kick too. - It's been a couple of years since I went to Chidoba, but there was a time where that was multiple times a week. That was kind of-- - I think I'm sleeping on it, man. - Yeah. - I think I've just been not giving it a fair shake, but I was really blown away with how good it was. - A17 says Chipotle brisket is dog water. Don't even have barbecue sauce to cover the S taste. - Oh, wow, okay. There's a lot mixed-- - It's a mix of news here. - Oh, thank you, appreciate you. I'm not gonna try it now, 'cause-- - Is it better or worse than QT brisket? I'll be honest, I didn't know QT was rocking out brisket. - I'll tell you what, these guys-- - HEB's got good brisket. - Oh, right, he's got good barbecue. - Yeah, their barbecue's passable. Every time I see my dad, he was just introduced to the HEB brisket, probably three months ago. - He's always got a sandwich. - Every time I see him, he has to let me know just how good it is and how I need to try it. I go to HEB all the time, but I never wait in that line to get the hot and ready food. I'm just trying to go in and go buy groceries. - That place is incredible, though. - Yeah, he says that HEB brisket is like as good as HEB brisket he's ever had. On your way out, hit the drive-through of the bar-- - I'm gonna have to do that. - I'm gonna have to do that. It is, it's good brisket. People also show in love here, as you mentioned, you just ran off the Chipotle and Cudoba and free birds and mose, Chiloso is another one. - Chiloso, where's this place? - Never been at Chilos. There was one in Southlake for a while, I don't know if it's still there, but that's the one that I went to. It was pretty good, it's been since years. - And I don't know what, I've never heard of Costa Vida. - You never heard of Costa Vida? - No. - Well, that's-- - And on the 972 popular-- - He keeps texting that in. - All right, maybe I have and I just haven't been. - Man, these folks know, I'll give 'em credit, except when they rip me about stuff, then they don't know. - We love Bucky's brisket, 903, don't you worry about that? - Yeah, we do love it, yeah, but yeah. - I can't go to Bucky's and not get a brisket sandwich. - We are now pre-gaming for LA Live. We are now under four minutes to tip off, if you will. - I don't have any employee note, damn it, Cudoba Vida. - We throw things over to the woolly bully for today's headline of the day. - Now, I have been saving this for a little while now. - So this is a headline of the last few weeks? - Yeah, I think so. - I think so. - I think so. - Just pretend it's deadline of the day, it's fine. Just pretend it happened today, not a few weeks ago. - If you heard this with the Kansi masterpiece, you know, a couple of weeks ago, just act like you didn't. - Just pretend it's new, okay. - Don't act like you didn't have a piece. - Guys, Kansi already did this. - Oh my God, like a different show, okay. - Dude, all right, I appreciate all your turnaround leave it on us and you know who you are and we love you, but there are some people believe you're not that don't do that and you know, they're just getting out of their car and they haven't listened to the radio all day. - They don't do that yet, we're trying to get 'em. - Right, exactly, we need you. Four people had a chance to win a free car as part of the Stinkin' Centra contest that was held at this year's Oklahoma State Fair. But the competition found itself controversy. - Wait, you gotta read the headline. - That headline, you want that headline? - That headline's pretty magic. - Here's what we're in for, boys. Oklahoma State Fair rocked by scandal after participating used to be using cup of porter body poop to win the contest. - Wow. - The old cup of poo technique. - So it's all about, it's pretty straightforward. They get into this 2024 Nissan Sentra at 11 a.m. on Thursday. Nissan Sentra, it's an Nissan Sentra. Everybody's trying to win the Nissan Sentra. All four characters at the Oklahoma State Fair. - They are. - So two in the front, two in the back kind of a thing? - Yeah, so you're disqualified if you leave for any reason. You're allowed to take a bathroom break every three hours but that was the only time they were allowed to get out of the vehicle. - So that's how you win the car? It's by staying in at the longest? - Yes, you can stay in at the longest. - Okay. - So like the one where you keep your hand on the car? - They go, they go for a while. That's also a good one. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So I'm doing with an airplane one time. - Now one of the guys that finished in second place posted a video and his name is Brian Richmond. - His name was Robert Paulson. - His name? - Who's Robert Paulson. (laughing) - So apparently this Arkansas resident, Brian Richmond's the eye who won from Oklahoma. This Arkansas resident who drives to the Oklahoma State Fair to try and compete in this contest, win the free car. He calls it quits, he posts a video. He says the winner actually came into the car after he took his bathroom break and he had a cup of poop that he took from the porter potty and subsequently placed in the back window of the vehicle. The smell was then so bad and disgusting that out of self respect, Brian ends up saying, I'm out of here and he does not win the car. This dude wins the car by violating. And I don't know, like is this a rule violation? I guess so. - I don't think that's in the bylaws that you can't put a cup of poo in there. - Yeah. - So he says the contest, this is a violation of the rules. - Plan a little dirty. - That's for sure. - It's definitely dirty. - I mean imagine scooping out like, dude, come on now. You want this part of that? - Yeah, he really wants that century. You hear me? - Well maybe he just put the cup underneath himself and that was his own deal, you know? - I guess, but that blue water, you know that blue water from anywhere. - I just, I don't know how many people, like are you gonna scoop poop out of a toilet in a, in a, in a porter potty? - To win a car, I might. - Just to win. - Yeah, I mean, Rusty, cold out for it. - This guy was probably homeless and carless. - I was gonna swim in poo to win a gold medal. - That's a desperation measure. - You would, you would. But I can understand why the runner up here was pretty ticked off. - Can I get a ruling real quick? Lucius, he was pissed off because he was pooed on. - Lucius, how good is the Oklahoma State Fair? - I was gonna be able to ask him what you wanted to want is because I've only been to the one in Tulsa and it's just pretty good, but it's not as big as ours. - Okay, it's not as good. - No, you can watch it. - But you give it high marks. - Oh, yeah, yeah, it's just fine. It's great, but you go off the whole thing in about 20 minutes. - Okay, well then, this is Oklahoma City. - Okay. - So I don't know, maybe it's not out. - The Tulsa one's better than we're determined. Well, we don't, we're just saying that. - Yeah, we, I don't know. - No, we're not gonna. - I'm gonna say that 'cause I stand with Tulsa. - Yeah. - Now when they stand up. - Stand up. - Shout out to the Tulsa King. - What's our ruling here? - Good show. - I have to just give it to the guy for pulling out all the stops. - Yeah. - Yeah, you're thinking outside the box. Go for it. - Yeah. - Sure. - All right, now it's time to go into the outside. - Outside the box. - Yeah. - It's time for really a lot. - All right. - Here we go. - How about that for a transition? - All right, I appreciate it, man. - How about that, huh? - Yeah. - Don't stink, Lucius. (laughing) - Yeah. - Hey, it's a butt naked Wednesday. - Yeah. - Oh my god. - It's in a great big James. (upbeat music) - All right, you squares. - It's time to smoke. (upbeat music) - I'm fired up this song. (laughing) (upbeat music) - It'll make you dance. It's summer everything. - Here we go. (upbeat music) - Everybody get high. (upbeat music) - There's a professional soccer team in Chicago, and the name of this team is the Chicago Fire. Yeah, but I think that's messed up. - Naming a team after a tragedy that has occurred in that city. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. That'd be like naming a team the Philadelphia Fentanyls. (laughing) That'd be like naming a team the New York Jets. (laughing) - This butt naked, please. - What's that? - Yeah, I had to wait till September was over to get that joke right there. - Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. - This is LA Live for Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024. It is a butt naked Wednesday here in LA Live. Words are missed by do. I too was born underwater with $3 and six dimes. Yeah, you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math. Shout out to the piece, to the guys in the earth, and all that other good stuff out there. Hey, are you guys up on the longshoreman strike happening at the docks? - No, sir. - I'd say it sounds rough. - I would not want to be a part of that. - The whole eastern shore and the Gulf. They're shutting down all the docks. It's like 39 docks shut down. - Oh, yeah. - Shipping all that shipping and stuff. - All that shipping. - No, man, can't have that. - Any more money or something? - Yeah, they do. Yeah, I'm glad you said that. Yeah, the longshoreman are seeking better pay and protection from automation. - Okay. - Oh, they're about to get robotic. - Yeah, they probably should fight for their right to party here. 100%. Right now, the longshoreman are topping out. They're topping out. You have to work like six years to get $39 per hour. Now, I remember when I first started radio, I was out there in clean Texas, and dude said, "Hey, man, look, I'm signing you. I'll give you $50 an hour." I was like, "Oh, shoot, I'm rich." - Yeah. - "I'm rich." - Right, I worked two shows on the weekends. Time to buy. (laughing) - Wait a minute. (laughing) But I went to the five hour shows. I don't know if that money already. (laughing) But yeah, I ended up getting a full night show. But anyway, they're looking for a 77% increase over the next seven years. The inflation is getting them down there on the docks. - I bet you it is. - Yeah, dude. That affects everything. Like I've seen people taking water out of top thumb yesterday, like the water's getting kind of low already. And it's not even hitting us yet, but people are panicking to it. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, so we might have the toilet paper situation again. - Major supply issues. - Yeah, let's pay attention to this, bro. This is a big thing. - You see happens to when like some hurricane drop of storm hits like down in the gulf, when all country's gas goes to light, and then all the sudden you see lines. - That's amazing to say that. - They're like, "God, please, what's going on here?" These refineries, I mean, they gotta be better protected than that. - It's amazing to say that because North Carolina with the hurricane was the top. - Yeah, ashville. - And they're getting short. And this is like the second day of the strike. Have you seen the Union boss? - No. - I believe it. - Aren't you pictured? - I would believe this guy. - The Union boss of Teamsters do? - Yeah, yeah. - He's got gold chains on and everything. He's got the shades. He's got the glasses, but they got like the tint on it. You know what I mean? - Is he got fades? - Is he a guy out of the Dick Tracey cartoon solutions? That kind of the big burly boss guy? - Maybe good fellas. - Good fellas guy. - Maybe good fellas, maybe casino type vibes. - Oh, wow. - I'm thinking the wire, or does that season two when they're on the docks? - Yeah. - Yeah, he's like one of them fools, man. - That's a great season. - Harold Daggett. Harold Daggett is his name. He's talking big. Listen to this. - Those greedy companies are making billions of dollars and they don't want to share. That's why we're here now fighting for a contract. We're going to fight for it and we're going to win it. Well, this portal will never open up again from here to Houston. I'm not playing games here. - They too win. (crowd cheering) - They don't understand what you guys do and they don't want the economy to shut down, but they don't fully understand the job of the men and women who work here. - That's the problem. Nobody knew what the longshoremen were. We didn't get respected, but now we will. - Probably not. - Now we will when they find out mores are going to shut down because goods can't come in. Cost salesmen are going to get laid off. - Well, guess what? Everything that comes in this country comes from the containers, lost these ships that my men work. And I want the world to know it. - They learned during the cold days. - Oh, don't come after us saying we're greedy. Go after those greedy (beep) that all these companies in Europe. Go after them. - Oh my gosh, big union boss is talking big on television right now. - He looks like a more gangster Chuck Morgan. Straight out of the penguin. - Gangster Chuck Morgan. Yeah, bro. Listen, more is from him. - Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American? The farmers that need to reach the export market, they're telling me that they're going to hurt. - Now let's start to realize who the longshoremen are, right? - Yeah. But people never gave a (beep) about us until now, when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now. Cars won't come in. - Cars. - Food won't come in, clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world, and it's time for them, and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us, 'cause we took care of them, and we're here 135 years, and brought to where they are today, and they don't want to share. (crowd laughing) - Yeah, they saying they're like-- - He's got my attention. - Yeah, no, 100%. He is not playing right there. - He is not playing. - He is not playing. They saying like, I think it was a one month of this strike and set us back six months as a supply chain. - Damn. - Whoa. - He went through that in COVID. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - It's hard. - Hey man, get them boys, they money, bro. - Yeah, please. - Have you been involved with this strike? Anybody in here ever been involved with some type of striking situation? - I was only-- - I was only a union guy for one time. I've only been a union guy. I was a union laborer on a project downtown Dallas. I had to join the union for a summer to-- - Hey, you do's and everything? - I had to pay my dues and all that. - Come here, kid. What's your name, Brian? - Exactly. Well, I'll tell you what's funny, let me check. I was like, you know, it was a summer job for LSU, so I was like a laborer, so I was pushing, you know, pushing a broom, cleaning up. - Yeah, no cheating. - Yep. - If I wanted to like take something apart, I had to go get a carpenter. - Oh, 'cause you had to go buy those unions. - If I picked up a hammer, I was gonna get fired. So they, yeah, they, like, so I, if I had to move something, I can move it, but if I had to take something apart, I had to go get a carpenter to do it, because of the unions. - Got to follow the rules, baby. - I did, I followed every one of them. - I know all about that. I used to mix the concrete, be the concrete mixer. You bring it over the net wheel, barrel, you got all these, come on, they screamin' for you. Come on, come on, we need you. (laughing) - Okay, is that tough? - Is that a better workout than, 'cause you did the hay bales, too, right? - Yeah, hay bales is a workout, man. - That hurt your back. - You gotta throw 'em, you gotta stack 'em. There's a lot goin' on. - Yeah, buy muscles you know you have. - Got 100% your back muscles get strong as hell. G back of the day, we do it every week, day on the fannet, 230. If you see anything floating out there, don't be afraid to hit me up what you guys have been doin' and I appreciate that. At Lucky, Lucius P on social media, Lucius Alexander on Facebook, which might be my home pretty soon. (laughing) Might be my whole Facebook. All right, what's that other one? Threads? - Threads. - Yeah, I might be on that pretty soon. - Threads is another one. - Or you might follow us all at G back nation on Twitter. Find G back nation on Twitter. Our winner right here is Wolch up. Wolch up, come to the front of the congregation. - Whoa. - He spazzed out on the cowboys and a fan texture. - In the 817, winded sports talk radio just become let's tear our team a new one. When the hell are y'all gonna say anything positive? I'll say something positive when they don't just crap down their leg and break your damn hearts every year. - Yeah. - I'm sick and tired of being gay. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Actually winning against the Giants that should have been a loss if the Giants had a quarterback 'cause their team's not that damn good. - Yeah. - Okay, I did a last year. And then what happened against Green Bay? - Hell, Wolch. - You got completely crapped on. So I'm sorry if it's not gonna be rainbows and sunshine all the time. This team deserves it. - Yeah, yeah. - They deserve it. They deserve you to be critical. Stop kissing their ass for everything they do. They haven't won anything in 30 years. It's the Dallas Cowboys. It's not the Cleveland Browns. They were once a proud franchise. They're not anymore. They deserve all the smoke. - They do. And by the way, we'll finish this Cowboys Twitter. That was a great rant from Wolchchock once again, by the way, on this very frustrating subject. - It's annoying. - It's annoying. - Appreciate it, Wolchock. - Thanks, buddy. - Yeah, I mean, that was good stuff. - Yeah, it was awesome. - Yeah, yeah. - Hey, get 'em, Tiger. - Yeah. - Yeah, buddy, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. LA live 105 through the fan on a butt. Make it wins this. I'm dipping out to the fair right after this. Can't wait. - Dinner. - Yeah, juicy Texas tailgate burger. And I'm gonna look at the cars at the car show. - There you go. - Yeah, those are fun. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I split up my fair trips. Take over this area, then I go to that area in that area. I'm there, like, five, six to three percent. - So do you walk off dinner? Is that what you do? - You gotta eat and walk it off? - Something like that. (laughing) - All right, question for the tollos right here. What's the weirdest thing that gets you angry? Just the weirdest things that get you angry. I asked this to the tollos that follow me on Facebook. Lucius Alexander, you could follow me there. Tolo said, "When I subscribe to an OnlyFans and there's no nudes." - Oh, no. - I didn't wanna read that one first. - How about better research? (laughing) - One cabbage of baking recipes. Just put it in Google. - Yeah, what do you mean, you're reading? Vegan food that imitates meat. - Oh. - Yeah, I don't like that either. - Oh, yeah, that's scary. - This is vegan hot wings. No, it's not, that's cauliflower. (laughing) - Yeah, it's not, it's not. - It's not, it's not. - It's not plain with me. - It's not a little cauliflower. - Yeah. The weirdest thing that gets you angry, someone said being questioned. I don't like answering too many questions. - Yeah. - You know, especially like somebody's not doing any thinking for themselves and they want you to do, "I hate you." - Oh my God. What should I do? When people say points, instead of runs in baseball, gets them angry, call it runs, don't call it points. - Point. - I get that. As a baseball truth in myself, I would really, I see how to have that guy. Driving behind people that step on a break for no reason, it gets me angry. - Yeah. - Yeah. - People who breathe loud. - People who talk too much. Let's see. - You know, like it's, I just got done talking with my wife and I'm like, I did the thing where, you know, we connected or whatever and now it's time to watch something. And then I turn it on and it's like, now you got more to say. - Okay. - Can we just, we had our time here. - Yeah. - Okay. - But that's not, you know, this is not our time as well. We might be sitting together watching a show, but that's not spending time with us. - No, that's not connection. - That's not what I learned. - But I thought connection time had ended and now it's chilled and now it's daddy time. And all of a sudden you're talking when I'm trying to hear what's going on. - 100% I'm locked in on stuff. I'm listening to a podcast. I'm listening to two people talking. You coming here to tell me about Margaret after a job film? - I'm like, yeah. - Margaret, are you kidding me right now? I'm listening to Joe Button. - Ridiculous. - Stop playing with me. Let's see what else we got. When someone tells me I'm too young to be tired. - Ooh. - You too young to be tired, get up. - Here in someone while they eat their food. - Smacking. - Yeah, that can be the one. - Smacking is bad. - People that ask you questions didn't immediately zone out during your answer. (laughing) - I'll tell you the one who loses his life. - I got the motion talking to your man. - Clarence Hill will ask me my opinion and then he'll fight me on my opinion. - Oh, don't. - Yeah, let me alone. - I mean, let me alone. Why do you ask him to be Clarence? - Yeah, man, let me alone, man. I thought you would know what. I'm like, no, well, do you ask me my opinion? I gave him my opinion. He's like, and he has to fight me on my opinion. He asked me for it. I'm like, third, stop, man, please. - What gets me angry is that stupid clash sound effect. What is that? The clash sound? - Clash? - Like the band, the clash? - I don't know, man. - Clash of clans, maybe? - I don't know, let me know. Maybe he misspelled something. - Clash. - What's the weirdest thing that gets you angry? - Oh, where were we at? - People that don't push back their chairs. - Yeah, that's weirdly been an annoying thing for me. - My dad's terrible with that. I'm always pushing the chair in for him. - When he gets up from the table or whatever? - Yeah. - I'm like, yeah, geez. - Yeah, where's your awareness? I feel like that when that happens. - You raised me better than this, but look at you. - What's the weirdest thing that gets you angry? - Warm toilet seats. - Ooh. - Yeah. - Wow, this is so hot. - Ooh, it's just here. (laughing) - When a person lacks common sense. (laughing) - To sit on a warm toilet seat. - Yeah. - Working with Dao's Cowboy fans. Gets this individual angry. - Yeah. Thanks too much. - That individual makes me angry. - Yeah, about that. - People who say all of these sudden, when it's all of us sudden. - Probably guilty of that. - All of a sudden. - Wow, yeah. - I'm definitely. - Yeah. - We'll have to Google that. I don't know if that's true or not. What's the weirdest thing that gets you angry? When I see people buying cars like, "Come on, bro." (laughing) Come on, let me see. I'll be buying them big tall 22's. We sit in my middle of the lap. - Wow. (laughing) - Let's see. People that back in the parking spots. That's me. - Okay, I'm guilty of that. I am so guilty of that. - Yeah. I like to pull out faster. - Yeah. - Take on out of there. - There's a time and place for it. - Cabin is being left open. Make somebody upset. - Yep. - Shout out to Eric. (laughing) - Definitely. - Take your claim, fam. - Definitely do that. And then when I do shut it, I did it too loud. You know what I'm saying? So now, now I'm slamming it, you know. - You can't win. - No. - That's hilarious. Now you're doing it too loud. - Like, come on. - That's funny. - Oh, "wist a weirdest thing that gets you angry." Marayachi bands. - Damn. - That's uncomfortable. - They actually put a smile on my face. - I love them. - You don't know how much to tip. There's like five of them. You just don't know. What's the tipping process when they come over to the table? - I think you're just, I think they're happy with whatever, man.
