Hey Mike Vlini here, host a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa, it's really simple. Are you tired of podcasts claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcasts that claim they hit 80% of the games when really, they just lose like most of us. I think cash to tickets is the spot for you. We're real, we're transparent, we're having a hell of a good time with it, and we sit there and we're there for the sweat with you guys. We're just trying to figure it out just like you. Follow and listen to Cash the Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever, you get your podcasts. (upbeat music) 90 minutes left here in this edition of the G Bag Nation with Rangers baseball coming up tonight at 6.30 pregame, seven o'clock first pitch against Toronto. Okay, expressway is about 20 minutes away, and we'll take you commercial free to the top L.A. Live 540 time now for an edition of the finest year's chief. Okay, so I'm doing the Friday bet payoff at Shaker Tins, probably just gonna go live with a national anthem rendition, so looking forward to that one. Do you have any singing background at all? No, no, no, no, I mean, one time we did have you sing when we were on the No Split Seats podcast and we were recording a came to you and then. It's raining men? No, it was the Divinals. I touched myself. Oh, that's right, that's right. There was. And it was hilarious. Now, I do think the key to this is we need to make sure that there's no singing along with you. You have to be solo the entire time so we can hear all of this and the greatness that it will be. And in a strong military region like North Texas, you gotta have reverence. Yeah, no question. Yeah. And I don't know, we'll see. Maybe a couple of beers in me at that point. We hit that in like the five o'clock hour or whatever. Can you just crush it? Probably make me feel a little bit better about the situation. I'm still open to ordering another little nitro gummy and having it here by Friday so that Broadus can do it for real, you know. But. Oh, for real. Oh, my fire. Oh, my fire. I don't know what Dawson's got up his sleeve, but I know Friday's gonna be exciting. We got three payoffs. I'm gonna go with the Mr. Misty, the liquidation event. We all get to bring our own mystery liquid and we get to spray it in your face anytime we want to, even if you're asking a serious question to Stephen Jones while he joins us on Friday. 100%. You like that? Yes. And I don't want to forget, by the way, and brought us, you could do this. We still have on the board what Dawson did last year. You can recite my awfully long, terrible question too. I just I just forgot that one, dude. Broadus or Walchuck could do that at some point this year, which would be wonderful to run that one back. Oh, God. I don't think I've ever been more nervous for a bet payoff than that one. That's tough. That was epic. It's a band-aid ripper to some extent, big picture. You know, but in that moment, you might as well be talking for an hour asking the dumbest question in the history of questions being asked. Holy crap. So yeah, that one's that one's on the table there for you. We got to do that after a win. Yeah. I think it's even funny now. Maybe after that Giants game on that Friday, that could be a good day to do it. Of course, we could bring that taser that I got at home and we could taste broadus at Shakerton's if he's down. Or you can try the beads out this time that you have, Eric. Yeah, no, but this is supposed to be something that he doesn't like. Oh, that's right, Brian. I might eat a stick of butter. What? Oh, yeah. We might eat a stick of butter on there. We have an eat a stick of butter on the roof. What's that on the roof? I don't know if that was an honor of anything. I don't think it just sounded-- I'm just looking at the list. It does sound gross. It does sound gross. It does sound gross. It does sound gross. It's not too easy for him. It's not too easy for him. They're right here. I think that that one, and Honest Abe was another one I kind of liked. That's where you randomly prepped me with questions you have to answer during the expressway. Yeah, like, we ask you questions and you have to answer them, honestly. Honest Abe, yeah. Yeah, that one-- I mean, we can find out where some bodies are buried. People get air confused all the time still on the text. I think I'm looking at it. OK, correct me or help me with the ass hat with the diaper helmet. Yeah, that's where Wolcho gets to. Is that a full show or is that a segment? Wolcho gets to take a diaper into the bathroom and do whatever he wants with it, then you have to wear it on your head for the entirety of a five hour program. Oh, I thought it was his daughter or something like that. Well, Brian, OK, that's a little uncomfortable, please. Oh, no, I mean, I thought it was a baby diaper. A baby diaper. I wouldn't think of him doing something. You can just back off, all right? No, don't, don't, don't. You're saying that's my daughter. You got a daughter. You'd rather wear a diaper on your head that had baby poo in there than Wolcho. I don't know about baby poo. I thought we were kind of thinking. They're heavy. Yeah. Oh, just some urine. Yeah, I'm thinking of that. Oh, I don't think I can have that on my head for an hour. I mean, I can do it for an hour. I don't think me and Wolcho are taking turns peeing on that thing before it goes on your dome. You're out of your mind. OK, well, just know that. I'll bring you the baby pee, but we're also peeing in it. I'm just going to eat me a stick of Irish butter boys. Get ready for that one. Now, you don't get to pick the butter. This has to be disgusting butter. Oh, no, no, no, it's Irish butter. I could pick it that there's no more butter. He's getting some fancy sweet butter that he can just luxuriously enjoy over here. The point of these is to entertain the audience, not figure out the least painful way to get through the challenge. You guys get to figure out anything to make me painful. That's the problem with this thing. I love the crotch first conference. What about these nipple tasers then? Yeah, that's true. We could do the nipple tasers. But again, it's supposed to be something he's not going to like. Goes back to the beads. Gosh, I think you're right. You got to whack on the bunion for a full segment. He said, what? We all get on the webcam. We're talking to Dave Derns. Oh, God, cool. I think that's it. Jose L. Tuve, he just ripped off the cleat and the sock to show the ball in his foot. Yeah. Now, although this is disgusting for me, I don't like this idea. But that's what Brian's got to do. And we all just get to hit it with the hammer. I think there's a payoff involving somebody having to clip the toenail of the of the gout toe on bratuses. Oh, geez, that would be-- I haven't had that in a while, though. I've been very fortunate. Oh, the gout? The gout. I haven't had it in a while. Or the the the bunion thing in a while. Well, oh, that's good news. I'm actually happy for you on that. No, it's a crucial set for the medicine for the stuff. Yeah. Thank God for it. OK, so Friday, I guess we will be-- Tell you what, stick of butter is not bad. --eating butter. Yeah. Stick of butter. It's on the list. And rest-- He's got to get that cheap ass butter, too, bro. That 99 sin butter, the one is real hard to bite through. OK. Loose, just don't be playing in the game now. I don't need-- But that's what it needs to be. It needs to be some crappy. All I like-- That's a piece of air, because you can't even taste any butter until you swallow it. You know what I mean? OK, so like so cheap. The 99-cent crumbly butter kind of thing. Unsalted. Unsalted. All right. That's what I'm going to do. $4.69. That's a family dollar bottle. OK. A lot of people are once again worried about the health of Brotus there. We know about your heart issues. If you want to get the nitro gummy round, too, let's go. Oh, OK. Yeah. If you want to do that, we'll do it. I might. Yeah. I really might do that. I wouldn't mind running that one. Someone has the lotion Brotus's feet. [LAUGHTER] Oh, that's gross. That's really good. That's really good. I'll say that respectfully, Brotus. Yeah, thank you. Are you open to that? Can we throw that on the board? Somebody's rubbing lotion all over your feet on the fan cam? I would vomit watching that. That's a payoff for somebody else. Not you. You're just a part of it. Oh, yeah. If it's-- yeah, sure. That's good. We're just rubbing lotion on you at that point. That's a bet payoff to me to witness. Yeah. Yeah, that's a puker. That's no one's going to-- Okay, if you had to pick one for me to do, which one would you pick? Well, at some point, I want to get you in that Mrs. Doubtfire. I would love that. I need some time to pull that one together, because I got to get the actual dress and the wig, right? Yeah. And no doubt. Yeah, and then, yeah. OK, I'll work on that one. That won't be as difficult as you think. It's not? No. No. Loose just knows the right thing. You just throw out a bit of that one. As my man puts on his glasses. Just slide around the corner, bro. We are in uptowns right around the corner, fam. They got you. You're walking there and tell them. We got you, big daddy. We just walk in and tell them. What's your name? Oh, she had like a flowery dress, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, just the fain. He's going twirl. Just the size for you. All right, well, Friday is going to be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to that. OK, now we have a g-bag nation. You make the call here in a moment with some CJ Stroud sound. But I did want to do the quarterback myth busting from Bill Barnwell. Did you see that? Everybody was sending around the stat about my homes, having so many interceptions overturned by defensive penalties. Yeah, somebody alleged it was 17. And then Bill Barnwell was like, all right, let me go back and look and see, since my homes has been in the NFL, is he getting more fortune with some of these defensive penalties on plays where he throws interceptions? Is he being bailed out at a higher rate than other quarterbacks and Bengals fans were going nuts? And then Bill Barnwell did the work on it and the result that he came to was that actually on a per-pass attempt basis, it is Joe Burrow that is getting more of the overturned penalties saving him from interceptions than anyone, including the homes. So my homes is like getting one of these for every 450 passes and Burrows is getting one of these for every 327 passes. So it's actually been myth busted. And then it's salt in the wound of Bengals fans because they find out it's actually their own quarterback. That is the one that's being bailed out of interceptions due to defensive penalties even more so than Pat Mahomes. So I thought that was a nice little project there from Bill Barnwell doing some quarterback myth busting. Yes, I do believe we are in the early stages of the hate for the chief starting. And I don't know if it'll ever get to a Tom Brady level. Mahomes is just more likable. But it's a nice 29 years old. How long can you be dominant even as a super likable team, super likable coach before and maybe the Taylor Swift does things, but usually by the time you're this great, the country has decided at least half of it hates you and still we're loving it, right? I don't see a lot of it, but maybe this is the beginning. Yeah, I think the Taylor Swift stuff, the Travis Kelsey stuff for sure, it's just like we're being inundated with Taylor Swift and yeah, all things Kelsey. And at some point you're kind of like, all right, I'm a little overboard. Pretty much done with this now. But I did see you have Nick Siriani doubling down on his late gaming competence. Did you see that? Yeah, post conference today about that. Yeah. He defended his decision to kick the field goal in the fourth quarter. And he said there are plenty of charts that give recommendations, but he has even more conviction in his decision after studying it yesterday. So I don't know if he actually believes that or if he just, you know, some of these guys, especially when their seat gets toasty, they don't want to get to the microphones and accept much blame. Yeah, that's not the time you want to be studying that, you know, on the tail end of a loss. You know, you're going to just, you want to get that figured out. Well, man, I figured I should get this figure to do. We want to field goal or go for it. Yeah. Fourth quarter with two minutes to go. I think this is the end for Siriani. And I think that's an overall, that's a bad for the Cowboys. Like we want Siriani to go on like a Jason Garrett decade, long, long run there in Philly. Yeah, we do, probably. I think so, man, for that. In that same game, you had Drake London catching the game winning touchdown pass, but then he did the gun celebrations. And so he was flagged. He got flagged for that, yeah. Yeah, but I love what Raheem Morris did with quite the PR spin here. When asked about it, the head coach of the Falcons said, Drake is a great kid. His intent was not as a use of a weapon. When he did the finger guns, he probably was shooting t-shirts into the stands to be honest with you. I just don't like how they're, you know, violate my constitutional rights. Hey, we're talking about man. Damn, I'm amendment, bro. Yeah. What do you mean? I was going off now. Don't you know where we are? How does it have an endorsement deal? That celebration brought you by six hour. Yeah, honestly, they shouldn't be capitalizing on this. Yeah. I like this as a, as a fun little on pace for stat, Beechon Robinson's on pace to have almost 2,000 total yards on the season. But he's also on pace to have zero touchdowns this season. He still can't find a way to get him in the end zone, but he is absolutely nasty. He's racking up the fantasy points, even without scoring touchdowns. But I feel like Kyle pitches a weapon as well. Should, should be for sure. I mean, that's been one of those weird ones his whole career. Dude was supposed to be absolutely awesome. I think Kirk's going to find him. I think Kirk's going to put him on the map big time. Yeah, I'm looking forward to a little Sunday night, more, more, more Kirk on prime time. Can you go back to back weeks with Kansas City coming to town? Here's Jim Harbaugh talking about his assistant coaches. And this is your Jim Harbaugh football guy, quote of the day, brought to you by Jim Harbaugh. He's a great coach. I mean, one of the best I've ever been around, you know, like Moses, I'm going to die leaning on my staff. That's a bar right there. That's a bar from old Jim Harbaugh, faith family football, man. That's a guy that gets even though it's probably more like football, football, football, football, faith football, football, family, family, football, and Campbell really because a lot of people were thinking like Dabo's probably kicking himself that he didn't bust that line out. Yeah, that would be the one, but that was, that was Harbaugh said that. Yeah, that was our guy, Jim. Oh, Jim. Okay. Here is some, here's some post Sunday night football sound. This is CJ Stroud after beating Caleb Williams and the bears meeting the quarterback at midfield as they tend to do post game, not Jersey swapping, but sharing some advice. Now G bag nation, you make the call is CJ Stroud being patronizing here to the rookie Caleb Williams. Good job. Yeah. Keep going. I'm taking those hits. Yeah. Okay. Learn from those mistakes and everything that you got, bro, is in you already, bro. You're going to be held the player in this league. All right, boy. Appreciate it. Michelle. Okay. That was hits. I think that's great advice. Yeah. I'm taking those hits. Also get your friend office to get you some offensive lineman. Yeah. It'd be nice to play. It'd be good. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I really want the veteran coach up post game after losing to a guy that's only been in the league for a year, right? Yeah. In the moment, I'm sure Caleb Williams. That's why he's probably trying to walk off and see just like, no, come here, come here. Like big, big, big, big picture. Good advice. I'm sure you remember RG three doing that to Tony Romo back in the day. Hey, you're a great quarterback. All this, anything I was going to say about you, but that's also a younger guy to older guy, which is even that's way more patronizing. Yes. Yeah. But I get it, man. This is a second year guy. And it's like learned from your mistakes. Like obviously, dude, come on, you should have just left it at, hey, don't take all those. Yeah. How many more hits I could have taken. I was dancing around a lot. Yeah. It's problematic right now with the bears. There's no question about that. And then I saw here from the action network, apparently, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been voted the NFL's most annoying player. So congratulations. Five players from other players on that wonderful award. Public. No, this is a public voting situation. So do you want to guess who was the runner up? Well, JJ Watts, I would say Kelsey who Travis, Kelsey, that's really good. Yes. As annoying. Yeah. Russell Wilson. That's a really good cause. Well, it's Kelsey as the silver and then it's actually Odell Beckham Jr. as the bronze medalist here for even play the snaf is most annoying play. No, no, probably won't probably will collect a check without running a single route this season for him. Yeah, dude. It's a good way to get it right there. Nice job, chief. Yes, sir. Here we go. An addition to the finest, most afternoons, five o'clock here in the G back nation. Okay. We have a Cowboys Ravens injury report and a couple of controversial type questions I can ask you about your football team here. Hey, Mike Villetti here host a cash to take it alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcasts claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcasts that claim they hit 80% of the games when really they just lose like most of us think has to tickets the spot for you. We're real. We're transparent. We're having a hell of a good time with it. And we sit there and we're there for the sweat with you guys. We're just trying to figure it out just like you following listen to cast the ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Next to the nation. Yeah. Welcome back. Ignatian on 105 three the fan time to hit the expressway where we take a commercial free to the top LA live. Lucius Alexander coming up here in 16 minutes chief just threw out that at Southern leisure. If he's got to do a bet payoff, he will sit in the cold tub for an entire segment. I think that might trigger a cardiac event, dude. Are you sure you want to go that far? I would be down to do it Southern leisure spots in patio. They have the ultimate cold plunge where there's like ice chunks floating around in there. It's like you might as well be swimming in arctic waters. You're supposed to go in there for like three to five minutes. I'll go in there for a full 15 her if I have to do a payoff at that point, probably one I think I'm about to go on a run here. But at the same time, I think anybody's going on a run. I think we might have multiple payoffs every week as the real power settles in. I think parodies at an all time high. This might be the strangest lady that the NFL has ever been. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let me know. I pick the chiefs every week or I don't know what the hell is going to happen. I looked up Mrs. Doubtfire. This has got possibilities. We got a Rangers day game tomorrow. We might do some shopping. There you go. Say tomorrow. Rangers day game. Shakerton's on Friday, right? Yes. Sure. In Arlington. Okay. We'll see it. We'll see a Friday at Barlington. We want to hang out and celebrate some bet payoffs with you, but it is a back to work Wednesday for your Cowboys. And we have the Cowboys Ravens injury report and a lot of interesting topics here before we get to LA live at about 15 minutes. The Expressway is brought to you by the on time experts segments brought to you by soda that state of the art and by cars for kids, donate today at carsforkids.org. Number of players here, Trayvon Diggs has a foot DNP, CD lam DNP ankle, but I did see that they, that's nothing. Mazi Smith DNP with a back though, Brian. What can you tell us? Yeah. No, I just, I did, I did get about the foot and the ankle. There was, as you said, there's just some soreness and both those guys were going to be fine. Okay. So it's just kind of a precautionary thing. With Mazi, I just, I, I heard that it was back tightness. So don't know much more than that for whatever back tightness, probably good to go in four days. Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah. Probably. But probably he was walking, you know, I think if you have a back deal and you're like crap, I'm down on the ground. It's going to be a little before I get back up. I don't like that. Yeah. Yeah. But I think if you're walking, I do expect you to play, but it's not a guarantee. These backs can get tricky, but Cook's is limited. Ferguson is limited. I guess that's good news is kind of back. Malik Hooker, our guy, Eric Kendrick's, who will join us tomorrow at 520 for the Cowboys player show. Tank was limited, but that was just a rest day. Same with Jordan Lewis and Zach Martin, although he's got a little bit of a knee. Unbelievable. That wasn't worse. Gosh, I thought that was, I thought he didn't look good. Not a season flash. Yeah. It's the worst one. When you're losing big, I think you want to leave some players out there for incentives. But unless there's like a big payday on the line that they're chasing, I got to get my guys out of there a little bit quicker than they did this last time around. Let's see what you're doing there. I like it. Okay. For the Ravens, their guard, Laulu is all I can say, I think from his name, a Jalen Armor Davis cornerback, DNP, Colli Hamilton, safety DNP, Ronnie Stanley, tackle DNP, Colvin Noe, outside linebacker did not go and Nate Wiggins cornerback did not go with a neck concussion situation. So neither team is super injured or feeling really good about how they are playing. But you know, listen to Brian's breakdown earlier in the 340, if you want to go back and listen across these corner on this Ravens offense, they do both things that the Cowboys struggle with. They're a physical offense and they use misdirection a lot, a lot of motion. Yeah. My question. Big bodies. They use a lot of big bodies. It's okay. Yeah. Look like they're going to run and they throw out of that and play action. That's where the big plays can really happen to you. Will Mike Zimmer's reputation as a, as a good coach who has the answers be alive when we come on air Monday or are we heading for the second straight blowout and, you know, talking about them? Now, I'm going to hold the fort here that you can't judge Zimmer off the first couple of games, but I have a feeling the fan base is ready to turn on them already, guys. What do you think? Oh, the fan base is definitely ready. It can get, it can get loud on your real quick. If you go back to back home games and, oh yeah. And especially if you don't look competent, you know, as, if you can at least be competitive in this game, you can feel like at least some step in the right direction. It's not a good matchup. And Lamar Jackson in his career versus NFC teams, teams that only get to see him once every few years. Almost one game. He's 20 and one. Yeah. One loss was at New York a couple of years ago. So like when these teams come in here, like the Cowboys who don't usually see this type offense and this type of quarterback, it's usually catches you off guard. So but I don't expect them, I don't expect them to come out there and play the same way. Like I expect this to be a much closer game, better be buttoned up. The one thing I've always talked about with Mike is they don't give a big place. And what they do last week, they gave up a ton of big play. They did. They got beat up up front and he knows that, you know, he's got to find ways to keep his linebackers clean. But they got to be buttoned up better, you know, they can't allow these huge plays and I mean buttoned up. You've got to find a way not to let this quarterback like read option you to death, you know, and stuff like that. You got to be, you know, guys, they talked about, we talked about young players playing live foul, overshone, all these guys that get the opportunity, this quarterback will embarrass you. If you're not playing where you need to be, Jerry even talked about guys with Sean and RJ, I believe, you know, out of position. You can't be out of position against these guys. If you do, you're going to get, you're going to get embarrassed. I feel like that comes from when you're getting run all over and you kind of got to, you know, take some risks to now stop the run and then you're really out of position. You can't jump around gaps and stuff. And not that it was, I mean, I didn't see a ton of that. I know Jerry brought it up. I didn't see a ton of jumping around. I saw guys not getting taken on blocks like they were already half beat getting, you know, when they're running and they're trying to get past the block, instead of taking a guy on square that guy, the guys on them, like half of them are, you know, they're just behind the block. You can't be behind the block and play against these guys. You can't be behind the block and play against anybody, no, especially and the Ravens are no different. I mean, this is definitely a game that they can win if they find a way to say, Hey, we can stop the run. And right now there isn't a whole lot of optimism that they can do that until they prove it. Yeah, like I said, if I was the Cowboys, if I was Mike, I would play this heaviest box you could play and dare them to throw the ball. And if they could do that, if they beat you, throw on the ball, then you know what? Hey, tip your cap and move on. But I'm not going to let them run the ball down my throat. Yeah. And you're going to have an angry Derek Henry coming in here, who was all after we talked about how he wanted to be a cowboy two yards a carry. Never physical guy lives in the area and look, under McCarthy, they've been really good following losses. I think it was like 21, two or something along those lines, but it's such a bad matchup. It is. This is the, this is one that preseason, I think we were looking up and that was an easy, you chalk it up as an L. Yeah, it's an opportunity to change the narrative. If you're, if you're Mike Zimmer, I just don't believe in the personnel. You know, I think you're, you're doing that because you don't recognize and you're not good enough to recover. You're not athletic enough to recover. You don't have many good linebackers, any experienced linebackers and you have bad defensive tackles. You know, and if you're the, the Ravens coaching staff, if you're anybody in the NFL right now, you got to be looking at holy crap, the Cowboys can't stop the run. Yeah. You know, just do what Buffalo did to you where they just felt like they ran every play. So I think the Cowboys opportunity is to be able to score back with them. You know, and that's, that's where I think really the, the pressure goes on because we know what the Cowboys defensive kryptonite is. We know the Ravens are bringing it to the party. We can hope they way over, achieve and have this great game plan and take big risks and get some turnovers. And the more that Jackson plays horrible, those things could happen, but the, the real way you should be staying in this game is by a scorn with them. And yeah, I don't know. I, you know, if, if I have confidence that the Cowboys can get to 30, they need to be able to throw the football and, and they need, I mean, Dak and CD, you know, CD showing up today sounds like it's not something that's serious on the injury report, but Dak and CD need to be having one of their best games. Jake Ferguson needs to play Brandon Cooks needs to be available and find themselves some more targets. Jalen Tolbert has to carry it. I mean, that, that, that secondary has been susceptible through two games. Minshew and Adams ate them up. So you'd like to think Dak and CD can find success. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, it's, it's possible. There are names in that secondary though, good players and it's, it's not going to be a lot of one on ones. You know, I just, I feel like we've seen it for so many years that when the defense can get your run with bare minimum, what Dak's going to be looking into is totally confounding form. Okay. Next question. Uh, Michael Parsons talking more about leadership here guys and the more he talks leadership, the more I wonder if this is a bad fit, you know, as far as this being the guy that's banging the drum and trying to keep guys accountable everywhere I turn now. He's talking about, I got to keep this guy accountable and, you know, I'm the leader of the team. You know, he's, he's clearly an alpha, but it's like when Greg Hardy showed up, he was an alpha too. And he led guys in a bad direction. Now Micah is not nearly as toxic. He's not nearly as, uh, you know, uh, controversial obviously I think Micah's heart is in the right place. He's trying, but the more he asserts himself as the leader of the defense, the worst the defense is getting. He's going the wrong direction. We saw at the end of last year in the off season, significant tension in the room. You know, I, I think leadership is, is just massively important. And here's a quote from Micah Parsons today. This is just kind of in tune, uh, with, you know, the theme of what he's been talking about at some point, all 11 got to have the same mindset. And that's just toughness. You talk about who you want to be and all this other stuff, but you've got to go out there and be it and it can't just be one guy. It can't be two guys. It's all 11 guys. It takes everyone. I affect the linebackers. The linebackers affect the DB's. We aren't all synchronized now. This is a normal quote from a sports leader, but what if he's not a leader? What if it's somebody that is annoying to the teammates? What if it's somebody that isn't the hardest worker in the off season and this dude's trying to put out in public like he's the leader of y'all that's that is not a recipe for good chemistry at all. Chuck, no, I think the professionals inside that defensive locker room are keeping this story minimized, but it definitely boiled over, uh, on radio row when we had to find Gilmore and Brennan cooks and, and, and tank was on, on sports center that day, talking with Stephen A Smith about it. There were some clear signs that maybe this locker room was, was disconnected and, you know, I think, you know, leadership is massively important here. I don't think Michael Parsons is the guy. If I'm the coaching staff, I want to find somebody else, I want to find somebody else to be that straw that stirs our drink in that, in that, uh, you know, defensive side. Okay. Um, nothing there. No bites there guys. No, I mean, it's very difficult to give up a talent of that caliber as an edge rusher that gets after the quarterback on the defensive side of the football, but I think you've got to think long and hard when you're talking about paying a guy and, and we know who his agent is. And he's one of the best, if not the best in the business and David Mulligator, he's going to get his guy's money. Yes. And he might break the bank for richest contract by a defensive player in NFL history. If you're committing that amount of money, I, I better be getting miles here at TJ watt, but I need to see a guy that you're not racking up all your big moments against the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants, right in the Washington commanders on Thanksgiving. The same knocks that you want to give to the quarterback, your best defensive player has not shown up in those big games either. And especially when things start going south defensively, you haven't seen him answer the call and be a guy that says this is unacceptable. We're not playing to our standard and he comes up with a big play either. So those expectations should be there for a guy that gets that amount of money and he needs to go out there and answer those questions. A guy that talks about being a leader isn't a leader. You don't talk about it. You just are. And he's constantly talking about right, right. He's constantly talking about it. And then in the same breath, as you mentioned, like not showing up for all the possible work days in the off season, you know, like just something simple like that. And if, if the guys don't feel like that he is the type of guy that puts the work in the same way, then it's really highlighted when he doesn't have a great game. So you then you better go out there and tear it up, dude. That's the only way that you can do this. And then when you have games like this week where he's lending voice to, wow, they found a way to neutralize me, you know, and it's like, okay, how many teams are going to find ways to neutralize you? And then you want to keep going and talking about all these things that you need to do. It's like, how about you just just show it on the field a little bit, you know? Yeah, I know. I think there's a lot going on here and it'll be interesting to see how this thing evolved in the future. You know, it's, it's been a situation I think with the Cowboys for a while that they haven't had a really great defensive leader. I can't think of the right one. I was thinking the same thing. It's like, man, it wasn't even like there was somebody that could pass the baton to him a little bit like he never got to see it really like, okay, that's what it looks like. Yeah. It's really Sean Lee, though. That's the last one I can think. The issue with Sean was he couldn't stay on the field. Yeah. Yeah. You know, but not an elite player, but a very good professional did things the right way. A panther's not considering trading the bench young, their quarterback. I would, I would be open minded to it if somebody called me up and blew me up. But I want to try to fix the team and then, you know, put them in a situation where we got to run game and weapons before it's all it's going to take to get the deal done. Yeah. It's got Jordan love back at practice in my place on day, uh, whoa, which has retired from a double dog, dare you to trade it to me. Whoa, which has, if you get your best three, I got Carolina, but listen, for, for Carolina, though, right now, of course, you got to say you're not trying to trade. You don't want to just immediately let everybody know you're open for business, but I think it's very, very clear that you are. Yes. Oh, you're willing to. It's just like how. It doesn't get leaked. Yeah. How low are you willing to go on compensation here? But it seems like a foregone conclusion. That's it. That's a guy who's going to get moved. If any team even wants him, you know, maybe the dolphins are a team that find themselves like we could use somebody like that. But I do think that Carolina will be absolutely ready to move on from him. So Nick Harris, uh, tweeted that Jordan Phillips wrist injury landed him on the IR and he said, I don't know. That's above my pay grade. You have to ask the people making the decisions. Nick Harris star telegram, he followed it up saying Phillips is dealing with a sprained wrist and the team is airing on the side of caution considering he's coming off a December surgery to that same wrist, a team official said, but it looks like, uh, you know, one of those, a fancy type of injuries that give them a little bit of latitude on how they can shuffle it. Is he done playing with the Cowboys? You think it wasn't that bad? I, you know what? Yeah. Yeah. He was, he was not very good. And that's yeah, when you, when you get in a situation now where you put a guy on IR for four weeks, it's all about now negotiating, uh, you know, an injury settlement and getting him off off the books, Rangers back out of the night with Cody Bradford on the hill against the Blue Jays, uh, Thursday, tomorrow, it's a day game with Kumar rocker on the hill at one 35. Please tune in, make us part of your day Friday against the Mariners. You're going to have a Jacob de Grom on the hill with a six 30 pregame there. So a lot of, uh, you know, fun baseball times are ahead. It's time now to go into the PIM Cup. Here's Lucian with LA line. You almost pulled a full broadness. Remember this? Everybody's telling me that Dan Campbell's going to get that job in Detroit. Yeah. I'm seeing that that, that he blew a Spillman, Rick Spillman, get that job. I didn't mean to necessarily tell him this happened, but full dating on. Oh, man. Hey, so yesterday, you guys talked about the Steelers gave Russell Wilson the game ball. Yeah, the petty game, petty game ball. I said, Oh, Justin Fields has got to be saying that wrong. It's got to be like, you know, the, the pity ball because Russell didn't play. Yeah. Nah, man. In Pittsburgh, you get the petty ball when you beat the team you used to play for. I love it. There we go. Good bet. You get that out last night. Yeah. All right. Let's get into a, uh, what is this? It's a hump day. It's a hump day. That's a hump day. In my life. Let's go. We're humping. All right. You swear. It's time to smoke. I need a massage, bro. A fire up this pump can get stabbed. It'll make it dance. It's something everything. Everybody get high. Riverside, Illinois. Good morning. Hi. Good morning. Um, Mr. Murphy. I was just wondering if you feel that there's a resemblance. Call our head. No idea what you're talking about. Uh, do you feel that there's a resemblance between your tubes and the hair on your head? Is what Nick wins. Trolling Z-Span right there. Trolling Z-Span. You know what? They just accepted and moved on. They, man, they're so good at it, bro. They are. They just take an insult. The cameras directly in their faces. All right. They're just going to die. Line three. Let's go up. Next one. They never laugh a little bit. They just kind of look at them. Okay. Uh, next call will be and they just go on. They just take it, bro. They just take it. Mm. This is LA Law for Wednesday, September 18th, 2024. It is a butt-naked Wednesday here in LA Law. Word to Ms. Badu and Peace to the Gods. Every Wednesday in LA Law is dedicated to Ms. Badu. Ms. Badu, I hope you hear me. I love you. And it's coming. Butt-naked Wednesday because years ago, Ms. Erica Badu, Dallas's own, came up with the phrase, "While explaining to people that pretty soon, female artists and entertainers will be selling nothing but skin to stay relevant and stay in the business." That is a fact. Because if you look around right now, they all shake it in a little load. They're chicken baskets. Yeah, they sure are. They all shake it in a fish basket. They all wiggle in that junior bacon cheeseburger for their attention. That's why some of this new trend in LA, where they're just wearing their skirts so low that their panties just fully show. No, boy. Yeah. I was like, "Hey, do you like my panties?" I don't know what you're talking about. What am I outfit? Why am I outfit? It's easy. It's semi- year, because that's crazy. I can't believe they're doing it. That's crazy, man. Listen to Ms. Badu explaining this. Just for the people that just don't know. So you know the next time I say it next Wednesday, you know? What's hot is the butt-naked? If you really want to rock somebody's world and make it into business, you gotta get you some care for your friends, too, if you're going to be wearing them stilettos, you've got to wear stilettos. You got to, I don't care how you got 12 or 11, you got to do it. Create your own publicity. Do some whole sh*t, you know? Do it. Do some whole sh*t. If you are a woman, you have to talk as another woman, and if you want to make it, you've got to do it. You have to. Just be butt-naked somewhere. Butt-naked with glitter on you and the people. I mean, that's the one I thought of as, I figured, you know, somebody else can do it. It's show up, with your long hair and your breasts, and make sure your cleavage is down to here, and leave for going down to here now, because 2006 is butt-naked, winced. Winced is.

It's kind of fun." But you're drinking camaraderie, all that stuff. Yeah. The vibe is cool. The vibe is cool. It's not the cleanest thing in the world to do. Yeah. For the fun. It's a lot of fun.

He was dramatic. I tell you what, though. The make up on him though, the mask always kind of moved. Did it? It was wobbly. It was wobbly, but he was like, "Man, look, they're Apes. Look, they're talking." You can see it looked fake as hell, but, man, it's like it was. Rodney McDowell was one of the Apes. He was good. He was always good. That's some bad movie franchises out here, though, like the sequels. Like, what was the best list alone? And all the action hero guys are like over 50? No, what was that? Yeah. Yeah.
