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) Here we go, it's our one of the GBAG Nation on 105.3. The fan, we have some very interesting show news to open up, we'll get to that here in just a second. A general at your service at ease. There's Brodus, the former Cowboys Scout and a field executive, Lucius Alexander's in the PIMP Cup. Wulchuck and Chia Follow and Carter Freeman's coordinating your video, and along with you, we are the GBAG Nation. Yeah, double bet payoff tomorrow as Wulchuck and brought us the latest to suffer the humiliation of supporting the Bengals in any way, shape, or form. It's been a fruitless endeavor for six decades, but there they were last Friday, picking the Bengals to beat the Patriots, and they were both wrong. So last year, where was it two years ago? It was two years ago now, nobody had the fortitude to go into the little nitro gummy locker and pull that bad boy out. Here on the webcam now, I just posted a picture of it at Gavin Dawson on X is the world's hottest gummy bear. You gotta wear a glove to hold that thing, little nitro. I'm nervous that I'm gonna rub my eyes now that he just made up a box. Oh, let's see, let's see. It's like a billion Skoville. It angered Chia Follow two years ago. It didn't make him uncomfortable. It legit peed him off. It did. Brian, and that's what you're signing up for tomorrow. I'll be ready. Okay. I'm doing it in honor of Shannon Sharp. (laughing) See, that's all. (buzzer) I might have the shot. I might have the shot. I might have the shot. I might have the exact same sound effects when it all takes place. So some never forget the heat in my jowls that day. So about 520 tomorrow, what you drinking and what you thinking? You know what? We'll jump in there right on it. And we'll check if you decided yet what you're gonna do for our entertainment. Undecided, the nutting green seems like an option that I might end up selecting here. Oh, geez. But eight, seven, seven, eight, eight, one, one, five, three, I am a man of the people. I wouldn't mind if the Toelos have a suggestion that they'd like me to do. I'd be open to doing that. Okay. Right on. Yeah, I look forward to that. The more painful or embarrassing, I think the better. Yeah. I'm trying to do ones that just are over with, you know? I want like less than, I don't know, five minute duration, one segment or less, I think is where I'm drawing. So no more eat like a pound of meat, a whole set? Yeah, no more eating challenges. Or the cheese. You wouldn't do the pickled pig's feet because I did think about going and buying those and just eating one of those tomorrow. You don't have to do that. You don't have to do that. Yeah. Somebody's got to do it, bro. Do we have to pickle them? Could I smoke them? No. No, no. They have to be awful. They have to be pickled. Pickled. Out the jar, baby. Yeah. I don't even know what that would taste like. I have no reference part of here. I might like it or not. It's pork. So chances are good. If there's meat in there, I will enjoy it. Maybe I'll just, I'll try and find them at the store. And if I can get them, I'll do it tomorrow. Somebody text in and let us know where we can get those, by the way. Get up, Walmart, I think has them, HGB, I think has them. I bet you they're in a glass jar. They are in a glass jar. And they look like a science experiment. Yeah. It looks disgusting. Yeah. Oh, what's this? So it's a chloroform with some monkey brain or whatever. You took the wrong turn to the hospital and ended up in a really spooky and creepy wing where they're doing experiments on animals. That's what you're eating tomorrow. That's bad. I'm not excited about it. That is bad. Wow. Hey. Credit to you guys, man. That's quite literally on fire for Rob, and just the way you guys are going about your business right now. I like it. You're not having fast in this thing. Yeah. Like, like we really want to eat the gummy, nitro gummy, be better at picking games. You know what? There you go. Yeah. That's all that needed to be said, not like, Hey, you guys are great teammates today. Oh, I appreciate what you're doing, Eric, and I love you and I just want to let you know that. I'm not going to be. You do it over there. I like these. Let me get the pigs feet for you then. What would you mind? Would you mind? I got to go to the grocery store tonight. You can get them. Walmart for sure has them. If you can get them, that saves me a trip. I think really has them in his fridge and he eats them all the time. Yeah. Let me know. Chuck, you're going to eat the pig feet. I'll do it. Why? Why? It's amazing, too, because he's such an anti-foot guy, like he's the opposite of foot fetish. Honestly, I'm the guy that should not be doing this. I don't like feet and obviously being Jewish for very much kosher. This is incredible. I don't care. I don't care. I don't keep kosher. Do we cook these? No, I mean, they're already just saturated in this cooking grease. Oh, so you just eat them right out of the jar right out of there, bro. Do you warm them up? No. I say straight out of the jar. Well, room temp pig foot, 2-1-4-6, Gavin doesn't do mayo, but thinks pickled pig feet won't be too bad. Bro, it puked instantly. That is great. Wait a minute. Like, if I were to do a pig feet, could I get an immunity with the nitro gun? What are you talking about? You just knocked out two. You knocked out two. Yeah, two pros. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely, Brian. Yeah. You want to eat one of those with me and then you also do the nitro. I'm going to have to have a look at these things. That's a prepayment right there. That's not going to help at all, right? I know. It's not. When I pick them out, I'm going to be like, oh, what am I doing here? I just wonder what that thing smells like when you open that jar. It can't be good. Oh my gosh. A little pig feet? Maybe? Maybe they can't be dirty. They've had me wash. Are you? Our government? That's a little pig feet. Aren't that bad children? Oh, okay. Two and four spicy Indian curry. That sounds bomb. That's like that. That does. Yeah. Give me some of that. You guys are big Indian food eaters. Aren't you? Yeah. Big time. Actually, I was driving to cause them with my wife and Maya. Like she, we have Indian food. She let's favorite food once a week. And so she was listening to your twin pig spot and you pronouncing the chicken ticker and she was literally laughing on lunch. That was funny. That was delicious. That was delicious. The ticket. And tacos was right after that. I was like, who's right in this? It's beautiful. The bad tacos. You got nailed it guys. I'm like, cause I'm pecking done as well. I had no doubt there. I used to say pecking done for the longest time too. Me too, man. Milkman challenge, gallon of milk in the duration of the show. Chief did that last year. Pulled it off. What was your discomfort on a scale of like one to 10? That one was that one got me like during the show was actually not the worst thing ever. Wasn't that bad of a payoff? But that Friday night was touching go for a while. Yeah. Yeah. There's, you know, we just met for that kind of amount of dairy. Is the boom stick things to involve while we had baseball going on? Yeah. Heck yeah, dude. We can, we could usher in a three pound dog wiener and get that thing going. Man. That's what it is. I, yeah. Okay. I'd like that. It's a burger dog. It's a burger dog leaner. What was the harder one to do? The boom stick thing or the burger thing you did? Well, the boom stick was the burger is the burger is the burger, it was the same thing. Yeah. So it's like a burger dog. I thought, I thought it was, I thought the boom stick was actually the original one. Yeah. The original one. Yeah. Three one five says the toenails are still attached. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have to eat those. Oh, what? No. This is Carter said it was a three foot dog wiener. Yeah. Yeah. The bone stick. Yeah. Burger. Well, mine was the burger dog, but they do have the regular dog as well. That's what saying that was still involved. Okay. You just. And that was what that I had to say. That was genius. That was, that was a, that was very difficult. That was exhausting. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That might have been the second most difficult for you outside of the nitro, which was harder for you than the steak of the cheese, the steak, the steak was. Yeah. The cheese was kind of figured out how to divide the cheese up, didn't you? And I melted it. Yes. Melting the cheese was huge. It was just like a giant inside of a, a cheese stick at that point, the steak was painful. I couldn't, I couldn't chew it and swallow it. I would throw up. I had to make it so tiny, I could consume it like tiny pills of steak. I'll never forget to see three hours, his eyes, water, every time he had that in his mouth. How much time do I have left? Yeah. That was, that was the worst one by far. So you got to eat the toenails tomorrow in that pig's feet, by the way, fully cooked. It's part of the, it's part of the foot. It's cooked, cured bone in, ready to eat. They were John's pig's feet. Big John's. Oh, yeah. Super vinegary. I heard. Yeah. A lot of bones in there too. I never had to pickled one. So there's a lot of bone in them joints. Tell me right now. Not excited. Yeah. That's going to start tomorrow. What you drinking? What you thinking at 520? What are we doing to ourselves? You want to do the pigs feet early? I'll do the space amount a little bit. Just let me know what you want done and take care of it. Yeah. Let's start the pigs feet tomorrow. I'll get him tonight. I'll get him tonight. Thank you. And I'll go to an actual farm. I'll go to an actual farm. During what you drink it and what you think it. We're going to need to get a lot of beer for Brian. You're going to kill me. You're for broadest after that you're going to want to drink the paint off after that day. We're kind of here. We drink and we drink. We love those Stella's right. We love Stella's one step pressure to watch that blood pressure with them pig feet since the beer. You spent like a fool up in here. What else is new? Can't wait. Okay. Big day here on the fan for those about to rock. We salute you. There you go. Can Kumar Rocker step up and dominate big league hitting? Here's the question going in believe like an 8/40 first pitch tonight. If he dominates here and is impressive, the next two starts before the end of the season, I think we could be looking at, you know, the narrative being one of the game's best young pitchers. Now, we don't have like schemes or Strasburg like hype. If you tune into MLB TV or you go to ESPN, you're like, you wouldn't be able to know that this dude who had better numbers than schemes in seven starts is about to throw for your Texas Rangers tonight, guys. What do you think? Is it going to be awesome? It's going to be okay. Or is it going to be bad? I think this is a pretty good lineup to go up against, man. Yeah. Like this will be a fun, this will be a fun one. I mean, the Mariners have certainly been struggling. I'm very optimistic that he goes out and has a very, very good start tonight. I mean, I'm going to try and keep expectations at a minimal and we're not going to throw out there like a complete game, no hitter, like the Grom. And I wonder how deep into the game, they let him go. Maybe it's just five innings. We'll see how the pitch count is, but I'm, I'm excited. I think we could maybe see double digit case tonight for Kumar Ocker and his debut. And I think that would be a fantastic start. I mean, that's what he was. That's what he's been doing here. That's the run he's on right now. And you just never know how a guy is going to react to that situation. So these things can go a lot of different directions. But with the gas and command that he's had over the course of these last few weeks, they're going, my gosh, and he's capable of just about anything on the, on the, on the domination spectrum here versus this lineup. I think you could have a couple innings where you're like, holy smokes, dude. I mean, who knows what the adrenaline is going to do, you know, and it could send it either way. But I feel like the hitter's not having seen him. Most I assume nobody has faced him. That's got to be a huge advantage. That's a real thing. Yeah. I saw Mike. Maybe that's some cool weather. It'd be great to. It's a minor went out in glen auto and the guy that looked like Mike, like there were so many guys, the Rangers brought up for a period of time that they were hoping could end up being good. And their first start, it was kind of a tease. They went out and looked really good. Like Len Otto crushed the Astros. And then after that, it was like, Oh, they kind of came back down to earth, but that's a hundred percent right first start for rocker could be the best one. Mike McCarthy on Dalvin cook, making some headlines, impressive, phenomenal feed. I've had a chance to watch him a lot. Looks really good. He fits into the room well. Again, I think this is a huge story right here for the Cowboys because if, if BB and Geitan are going to be, you know, good to sufficient somewhere in that range, rookie offensive lineman and you have Terence Steele, who's a good run blocker and Martin and Tyler Smith, you should be a top 10 efficient running team in the NFL, but you don't have any good running backs. So find out if it's Dalvin cook. Find out if Dalvin cooks, impressive, phenomenal feet can get him through the hole and actually take advantage of the holes that are being created. And if he can't, then you trade for somebody else and I'm not crazy for this, right? Like good running back production should be gettable in the trade market. I don't know what you have to spend a five or six or seven, even if you have to, you know, find a guy who's proven and you know for a fact he can do it. If you end up playing good defense and, you know, we know what this passing game is pretty dang good and you can't get it done because you don't have a sufficient running back. That would be like the biggest incompetent mismanagement of talent that the Jones boys have ever done. Yeah, because you're not having to swing for the fences and really feel like you're giving up big time assets to go get a running back. As you mentioned, that's something that you can, that you can be had there. Now I'm not like in a super rush for it because of where the trade deadline sits and how much time you have. So if Dalvin Cook needs a little bit more time, a guy who didn't have training camp to kind of get his feet under him a little bit before they unveil him, I'm cool with it. But I do think that's absolutely a spot where you have to immediately think, I mean, you did it on the defensive tackle spot. Yeah, you did it with Carl Lawson on the edge. Why not go see what you can, you know, what can be had here over the course of the next month? My pro personnel scouts just looking at running backs like crazy, which guy can we go get right here? And as teams start to become obvious sellers, then you really hone in on who those teams are. Yeah, I mean, to me, I still go back to like how good is this offensive line going to be? I think if the offensive line blocks up front, I'm not as stressed about this as maybe you guys are. I think you can get production from Rico down. Go with the hot hand. One game is eat game. Go ahead and keep him fresh, right? Put Rico out there, do south there, have Dalvin cook active for a game. Let's just go ahead and rotate bodies. I'm more worried about this offensive line developing and blocking well up front and you can get production from what you've got right now than if the opportunity presents itself to trade for, you know, Jeff Wilson, Jr. of the Miami Dolphins at the deadline. Then hell yeah, go out and do it. But I'm just not as one game in. They ran the football better Zeke looked better than I expected against a pretty good front. I'm kind of in a wait and see mode. I'm more into if this offensive line can perform. They might be okay. This game and we'll get into it at 340 in crusties corner when you're talking about the Saints defense. If the Saints blitz their secondary like they did against Carolina, you're going to need Zeke playing in this game, picking up blitzes. So that's something you also have to think about when you're shuffling these running backs around. It's like October, 2024 is right around the corner and iconic piece of art will adorn the G back nation flag this year. Can't wait for everybody to see him. I know there's been some teases on social, but standby for details on the tour day DFW and your chance to get a 2024 G back nation flag here before too long. Okay. What's next here, boys? We'll check. State fair food. Yeah, man. Morning news has the latest new foods and drinks that'll be at the state fair of Texas. Which ones are you most looking forward to and what's your go to when you go to the fair? That's next to the nation. Welcome back. It is the G back nation here on 105 three the fan. Here's a breaking news situation in downtown Dallas. There's some Twitter activity, some text activity and active shooter 2025 minutes ago. Yeah, three people and this is per Fox and WFA news were shot in downtown Dallas earlier and the call logs show that police were called to the 1800 block of commerce street downtown next to the AC hotel. Geez. And police are still looking for the suspect motive unknown. So this was posted about 20 minutes ago. So if you're working in downtown Dallas, you're toluing, you're listening to the show. Commerce is completely shut down. My gosh. Yeah. I mean, the police presence out there, hopefully they find the shooter, but developing story trying to get more information as we can. That's terrifying. Okay. Thanks for the update there. You buy cars for kids. Donate today. Cars for kids. It's brought you by the Franckles life's unpredictable accidents happen. If you are a loved one's been an accident due to somebody's negligence call the Franckles for a free consultation two one four or eight one seven three three three thirty three thirty three. Go to Francklefirm.com and here's we'll chuck with some new state fair foods. Yeah, man. So we're getting really close to the state fair. I don't think anybody loves the fair on our show quite as much as Lucius Alexander Lucius. I mean, how often a week are you going out there during fair season usually like maybe three times a week. Man, that's awesome. Yeah. You get the season passes. Yeah. You got to take advantage of it too. Yeah. Sometimes I go out there for dinner. So and you might. I mean, that's a great thing to do because the food items look outstanding and there's so many you've got to go multiple times and I'm going to go solo to solo by myself. Hey, I mean, to walk around there and eat some of these delicious delicacies that they're going to have. So I hear some that and I know Gavin, I'm going to pick some that for sure you're going to be in there. Thank you. I'm going to have to take the tour of cookies. Okay. So this is going to be this is going to be located at Big Al's Grill, Texas burgers, dogs and more on Lone Star Boulevard and Cotton Bowl Plaza cookie butter nachos. Okay. So these nachos take the concept to a whole new level by using freshly fried flour tortilla chips coated in a heavenly blend of cinnamon sugar. The highlight of this treat is generous scoop of homemade cookie butter cheesecake filling. Now the cheesecake filling might throw you off, but it adds a creamy and rich element to the dish. You wouldn't give this a try. No, he's not. It's got Biskoff cookie sprinkled on the top. Homemade icing. Yeah. No, I'm going to claim false advertising as well. I think when you would, you know, cookie nachos denotes that the cookies are going to be the chips. Right. That's where I was going. That's the picture. I had my brain. I have to just smother a bunch of awesome chocolate chip cookies in amazing different ice cream. Butter nachos. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. I'm still trying this. I would try this. I think this sounds absolutely delicious. Well, yeah. But I, the cheesecake. I need to. As soon as that, as soon as you see that, maybe if you just didn't know that there was cheesecake, I should have just not even thrown that in there. I'm looking for it. I'm going to look out in any dessert situation. I know you could be cheesecake. Those cheesecake Biskoff situations from last year's fair. Amazing. Dude. Fantastic. I'm robbed here. I'm robbed of enjoying the cheesecake desserts. Still on yourself. Short, bro. Okay. Here's row up. I think the crookie. This is a croissant. Yeah. I'll meet it's cookie. There we go. Brought us is out because of croissant. So we've got the cronut. The cronut. The cronut is. I had the first cronut the other day. He likes the cronut. That cronut went bad. You would eat the crookie. Okay. The crookie is delicious. A flaky croissant sliced and filled with cookie dough. And it's closed and topped with more cookie dough and it gets finished baked in the oven drizzled with syrup. You got three locations. You have this bad boy. Wow. It's delicious. Wow. So it's cookie croissant cookie. Yeah. I mean, it's like trifecta cookie. Incredible. With croissant. Look at this. I prefer they do it with a crescent, but I'm still very. The crescent rolls are undefeated. Don't you guys want to be? I'm surprised. Brought us can't. He could probably get his way in there. Like be in these meetings. These state fair meetings where you're just, you know, no bad ideas thrown stuff against the wall. Where can we do to evolve? I think Mitch Gleiber. I think Craig Gleiber's brother who I used to work with with the Cowboys who does operations for the Cowboys. I think his brother Mitch might still be the president of the state fair. I need to look this up. I can be on the committee. Dream job to be on that. On that committee. Yeah. Or just be a judge. You get to try them all or just call the Gleiber's and have them send a few of these over. You know, if the crookie, I got a check and see if Mitch is he was president of the state fair. Maybe they will send some stuff. Oh, that'd be kind of cool. Send us the cookies, please. Send some stuff over the other day. Yes, they did. Yeah. But it was, we got four hours before we got there and we got there. It was game over. Hey, they sent us to the wrong show and it's just a clock in the morning. We eat burgers. Yeah. That's crazy. I don't care about the fair. This show cares about the fair. Well, it was funny listening to a Kevin, I named my dog Big Tex eat like one of the six items that they brought in because Hage does not eat anything. He's like kind of Gavin asked where he got, he has a very, hey, they were all big fans of that candy bacon or that cotton candy bacon deal. That looked pretty cool. They can't be bad, right? No, I can't. Cotton candy and bacon. It can't be bad. Can't be bad. You're a big Toblitas fan, right? Yeah, absolutely. We got a deep fried Toblitas. Deep fried. Deep fried. Juicy short ribs, fried to golden round deliciousness served with fried jalapenos, fresh lime sizes and a sprinkle of cheese on there. They've thin ribs, right? With the bone. Yeah. Round bone in it. Okay. Need around the bone. Okay. Yeah, okay. They've got another one. They're like, this is the tough one to say. Throw cheese. I got you. We'll chuck. Yeah. Go for it. Diggles triple meat, big snack, big back snack. Okay. That's a little wordy. That's a mouthful. It's not really rolling hot. It's a tongue. Diggles triple meat, big back snack. Okay. You cannot say that three times fast. What's the protocol in it? Yeah. Tell me this is a side in size indulgence is presented with a boastful five layers in seven tantalizing of labor profiles. It consists of. How can you get that many flavors in that in just that many layers? So we've got a latte street corn, including a fusion of roasted sweet corn, mayo, lime, butter, cumin, chili powder, and queso fresco. Then you've got smoked chopped beef brisket that paves the way for delightful serving of gourmet smoked gouda mac and cheese. I buried the lead on this one. A buttermilk biscuit, crowned with tender cubes of pork belly burnt and slow smoked perfection coated in house made sauce. Still hungry? How about a savory loaded nacho beef brisket sausage linked as halved and it's accompanied by heavenly deep fried crinkle cut maple waffle flavored potato slices on top. Is this our way? Are you effing kidding me? Yeah. That's almost everything. Everything. Everything. The corn, weren't you? The mayo in the in the other corner. Yeah. That sounds like like a hertado barbecue tray. Yeah. And a blender. Yeah. Wait. Can you tell me what this is? I got to Google this. It's Dickles. It's back snack and it's located at Dickles Smokehouse at Big Tech Circle in First Avenue. It's the Dickles triple meat big back snack. Okay. Dickles. Yeah. Triple meat. Triple meat. Get rid of these. Back. Snack. Big back. Snack. How do you spell Dickles? You got to give him that hook too. D.I.C.K.L.E.S. Okay. How did you spell it? I nailed it. I nailed it. You did? I didn't know if it was a two C's. Yeah. I can't find it though on Google. Well, maybe we'll have it soon when once the fair opens. They've got an Oktoberfest pizza as well. Port Belly, Saviche, tamales, pulled pork, air and teeny. A lot of different items that we've got here on a pizza sound fantastic. The air and teeny. Oh, just is it a pizza? The Oktoberfest pizza. Yeah. Which one are you asking about? The Oktoberfest pizza? Not. Did you just say beer? So it's a handmade pizza dough that bakes a buttery crunch topped with a crave worthy base of spicy mustard and fused white cream sauce covered with a gooey tangy blend of mozzarella and cheese and then it's topped with thinly sliced German sausage, German potatoes, sauteed onions, green peppers, and of course sauerkraut. Thank you all Chuck. Time now. It was a G bag of the day. Yes sir. The G bag of the day is the best audio for the world of sports, pop culture, talks radio and or the internet. We plan them all. Yeah. Put on which one we like the best at your G bag of the day. Yeah. And our G bag of the day winner right here is a grandchild. She's a grandchild, trolling her grandmother in the in-and-out drive-through. Grandma's on the driver's side of course, so she has to talk to and make the order to the speaker. So our grandchild just throws grandma when an order that is not even real. Yeah, that's the whole of doggy style animal style animal style animal. Yeah. It's the animal. Okay. Alright. What are you doing? She's stinger. Stinger. Anything to drink? You got me. Yeah. That's hilarious. Raw tire. Man, I can't wait for the fair to start. There's some great burgers out there. Oh. All the food just sounds so damn juicy. Juicy tailgate. I can't wait to see you, Juicy. I'm coming for you. Count your days. Come on. Juicy tailgate. Oh, I know they hate to see me coming too. I'm pulling out all the tickets. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So all these are ticket things. No cash, right? No cash is all tickets. Well, okay. Yeah. My son called himself having an attitude. He took his girlfriend out there and they were having a little spatter. Love his quarrel. Mm-hmm. That's why I ate his burger too. [laughter] Give me this fool. I was Juicy's right next to Dickles down there at the fair. I've never seen Dickles. But I'll look for it, bro. Let's go to W-F-A-N, "Boomer-A-Size" in it, "Geo." Apparently, these guys, they're a hoot. Someone recorded who were farting on the golf course and decided to play for the radio show. Let's do this. They'll say... I've got a video of "Boomer-Fartan" in his backswing. I have never seen it, so I don't know. Have I seen it? You've seen it. It was sent to you, and I didn't take the video. It was sent to you in a group text of all of us that were there. Someone took the video. It was just fast-forward. Is it fair to say "Boomer" was also a couple of transfusions in at this point? Yeah, yeah. I just got to make sure we get to the... It's clean. Yeah. There's... All right. Hold on. Let's just get to the point where it's quiet. Where's about the swing of the club? Ah! Ah! Ah! [Laughter] Ah! [Laughter] Not a bad push there. Not a bad... Good audio quality as well. Is that usually when you're at your most vulnerable on the backswing? It feels like when you're really trying to follow the three of them. When you get through, when you get through, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna hit it again. [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] Ah! Ah! [Laughter] Ah! [Laughter] Ah! Pretty good exit below. Ah! Ah! This golf swing make you want to poo? I've never played really golf. I've always drove around the car, some Drake de Margaritas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [Laughter] Ah! Yesterday was a church day. I pray you got your blessings out here, yo. I'll be praying every day.

Anybody's played it yet? I've played it a couple of times. You don't have the time to play the bunch. Yeah. We're adults. It's hard to do that. Unless you're getting paid. Unless you're on Twitch, getting paid or something like that. Good for that, man. Alright. We've got a situation. I hope I explained it well to you. We have a gentleman playing college football 25. He's playing against Clemson. He is Georgia. It's the fourth quarter. Three seconds left in the game. He's on the Clemson 10 yard line. He's up by three points. It's 29-26. Game's over with. Remember, I told you three seconds left. What are you doing in this situation? You kneel it, right? You kneel the ball! You kneel the ball! Is Mario Christoball the one on the sticks? Yeah. He's in Georgia. He's in Georgia. He's farting away. He did it. He lost the game. He should have knelt it against Georgia Tech. He should have knelt it. Well, this guy right here did a pitch to the running back. Oh, no. Running back. Fumbled it. No. Two! Now the pitch. Diving for the score. And the ball is loose. Wait, no. No! No! No! No! Why the hell? The third. Did you hear that? No! He's crying. No! I have happened! How did that happen? How did that happen? How did that happen? How did that happen? How did that happen? How did that happen? How did you walk? How did you walk? How did that happen? How did that happen? I think you fumbled a lot if you hit that dive button. Oh, no. I'm f***ing hate this team. I'm never using Georgia again. Who? I think you fumbled a lot if you hit this team. I'm never using Georgia again. Why did you fumbled it? No! Formal coaching. Yeah. No! No! No! It's going to lessen in their lives. Ooh. Broke something he deserves. Yeah, dude. You don't feel bad for a guy like that. No, that guy's especially running a pitch in there. Come on. Dude, Carl Ravett, whoever that is on the call. One of those old guys. He's been at ESPN for like 40 years. Is that Reece Davis? Yeah, I know what he's saying. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good commentary in there. They have a great job. Paying out quite the picture. Yeah. Is it trolling granny? Oh, y'all should have babe. What babe do this morning? This is what I'm talking about, Tolo's. I love the hell out of you. But you can't wait till G back of the day to tell me what I should have had. You gotta send it? You gotta let me know beforehand so I can have it. This is a community situation here. Yeah. We're in this together, bro. Communication is key. Could be an early favorite for tomorrow though. Yeah. I'm definitely playing it tomorrow if I got an opportunity for sure. Okay. Is it trolling granny? Is it boomerasiacin with Geo farting on the golf? And not even though it is yet. But two people said it's awesome. That's be good. It's gotta be good. Pastor says you gotta take the medicine. Chasing off a stalker there. My girl was listening to Babe and Brad on the broadcast. We were traveling to my dad's house during the game. And she was like, for some reason, she blinked out. She was like, "What is he calling him babe?" Babe? What is that? That is Babe? Or is it Georgia versus Clemson? Shoot. I'm going to go with boomerasiacin for them to go off course. Yeah, I am too. College football 25. I'll go with the Grandma. Start.

That's next year in the nation. Thank you very much, Lucius. It is the G Bag Nation here on the fan. Congratulations to trolling Grandma for winning the close vote off there on the X poll. You can follow us all at G Bag Nation. Time now for Eric Chia, following some college. Well, apparently, the P in Pac-12 stands for Pulse. And they got one, ladies and gentlemen. How about that? Man, I just, okay. So, I guess it's cool they're living, but I think the more honorable thing would have been to just shut it down. There's something about dying an honorable death, right? But they're getting money, aren't they? Are they getting money from the rest of the schools we're carrying on? They're selling out is what they're doing. All the other, all the other schools have to kind of give them money for leaving them. Yeah, but aren't you going to stay up until the wee hours of the morning on Sunday. Yeah, we've got 12 football featuring Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Colorado State. I mean, isn't that going to really get the people going? Oh, it is. And the other good news for them as well is Memphis, Tulane, Cal and Stanford all might be a part of the Pac-12 expansion plans as well. So, it's just... Didn't Stanford go to the ACC already? I don't know. I think they did. I don't know if they actually... I don't know if they finalized that. I don't think they went full ACC, but I do know like some ACC teams, or at least Miami's going to Cal this year to play. Yeah. But that's like a non-conference situation. All of them already lost the Cal. The Stanford's playing an ACC schedule this year. Yeah. Okay, but they're not like technically full fledged because they're a part of the rumored expansion of like adding more teams where the Pac-12 is now officially brought in. Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Colorado State. So, they took the old, the old, uh, the Mountain West is what they did. Yeah, basically. Mm-hmm. Nothing says ACC football like Stanford and Cal. Yeah. No, absolutely, man. It's the tradition in college football that matters. Yeah, I guess there's a big opportunity there in California to trade on the Pac-12 name or the Pac-10 name. Yeah. And, you know, because of that, they're going to, they're going to do commerce around it. But, you know, that was the conference that I grew up watching, you know, and it just, it, I guess I have the same feeling that people have, you know, in this region for several decades mourning the state of prior conferences. I think, is this weekend, do we have, I'm sorry, I'm doing this, but do we have a Washington State Washington game coming up? There's, I think there's some like old Pac-12 games, like Oregon, Oregon, State are playing. Yeah. Yeah. But these were all into the season games, right? Yeah. Yeah. They were usually like Thanksgiving weekend. And I guess if like Cal and Stanford really want to go, this is, they're going to have to go to court like FSU and Clemson would to get out of their deals. Yeah. So this would be, I don't know. I mean, it would be iffy. Well, have you guys seen the FSU clip from their practice? This is the FSU football team that is, of course, struggling mightily. They are sort of the laughing stock of college football, to some extent, at least in the early portion of the season, but they bring Memphis to town to Tallahassee on Saturday, expecting some rain. And so they've busted out the, the water guns at practice. So if you look at the fan game, you'll see just a little clip of, you'll see a receiver running for the ball. And there's it right behind him is his coach with a water gun, bazooka thing shooting at him as he's trying to catch the football. It's going viral. The bears did this. This training. Yeah. The bears. The bears did the slip and slide to the quarterbacks, which was fun. And we did that. Now I also have another clip here because I want to make fun of FSU so bad and it's easy to kick them all. They're down, but you also had earlier in training camp in the NFL. You had the Baltimore Ravens being a team that pulled out some water hoses to try and simulate the, the, the wet and the, you know, the elements of football. And so you'll see that video now here as well on the fan camp and the Ravens are respected, you know, John Harbaugh and company. That's a team that, Hey, if they're doing it in practice, but they're doing like fumble recovery drills with it. And honestly, the hoses at the Baltimore camp look like they're that water pressure. They're too high for me. Oh, come on. I need to dial that one back a little bit, but I don't know. Water guns and water hoses at practice. Is this common place? The 1960s water hoses. Yeah, there's something unsettling about that imagery with that last one. Alabama civil rights. Stay down. Stay down. Coach, the sprinklers could have sufficed here, sir. I thought the slip and slides were cool with the bears practice. That was a fun deal. It looks more like team building, though, than actual functional. Because that would be monsoon conditions. That'd be money to play. But what about the code chasing his wide receiver with the ball in the air and shooting him with the water gun? Now, that's awesome. Yeah. I want to say I want to get into football coaching now if that's on the agenda. Yeah. Water balloons would be better. Just throw water balloons. Just jump it out. That would quickly devolve into getting on to the Internet and ordering the best Super Soaker possible. Yeah. That would be, I mean, what a fun day at the office when you show up and everything is down because you're going to. Yeah. But we are going to do the water guns today, boys. All right. All right. The big upset of the football weekend in college, of course, was Northern Illinois and the Huskies beating Notre Dame. Now, their head coach, Thomas Hammock, was on with part of my take and was explaining apparently, like, after the game, Coach Hammock reached out to Notre Dame's head coach Marcus Freeman to offer him some help on. Hey, this is what we saw. These are your weaknesses. If you want me to let you know like what our scouting report was on you guys, just let me know. I'd be happy to give it to you. So here he is explaining it after getting a huge, huge upset victory over the weekend. And I, you coach, I'm sorry. I mean, yes, taking me up on it. And we've talked on the phone a couple of times and exchange text messages. It was my first time meeting them. Obviously, I have a lot of respect for him as a head coach. I want him to do well, you know, for obvious reasons. And, you know, just because we competed don't mean we can't help each other or try to assist each other to make each other better. You know, sometimes when you become a head coach, you don't have many people. You can really rely upon because nobody's going through what you're going through. And I understand it. I don't understand what he's going through, but I have an idea of some of the things he's going through. And if I can help him and help him achieve the type of things he want to achieve, that's what it's about, you know, paying it forward. They're never going to play us again. So we will never be a common opponent. And, you know, I want him to, I want to see him win a national championship. He's got a program that can win a national championship. So, I mean, I've never really, I don't know. Have you seen something like that before, Broadus? After the game? I mean, that's quite the sportsmanship right there. Hey, I beat you down, but now, you know, here's the blueprint. Here's the blueprint to beat your team. He felt obligated because Notre Dame gave him $1.3 million to do that. No, I'm just kidding. You know, that's what they feel so bad for you. You feel bad for your coach? No. This is just good. This is just good guy. This is just, you know, this is like, he's right. We're not going to face you anymore. Right. But hey, this is things we thought you guys. And, you know, he's right. I mean, these coaches, I mean, it's not easy for them, you know, especially the black coaches. You know, it's just not. And so to try and help each other, you know, stay in the game and, you know, be winners and kind of further things, he did the right thing. Yeah. And I love it from him. And I love the humility out of markets for you to be like, yeah, please let me know. We all got some blind spots here. Let me get this thing figured out. Right. The ship. All right. There it is. College. My football. Thank you, chief. It is the G back nation here on 105 three, the fan. A big day coming up at 520 is our Cowboys player show continues with Eric Kendrick's tomorrow. A double bet payoff. Wool chuck is taken down pickled pigs feed at 220 brought us has the little nitro gummy bear. A record breaking gummy bear for the amount of what is it? Skull balls or whatever. Yeah. It's a good school goals. And they said we might actually have to have the we're going to have to figure out if we can get the the medical team in here. Well, paramedics, maybe because of your with your age and the hazardous situation with this gummy. That's a bad idea. We just got the email. My flag. The content. Yeah. You might actually take our stream down. That's how dangerous this gummy bear is. But Brian ain't scared. There's like the truth. Five twenty. This thing I'm. Yeah. That's fortifying. What are we doing next? Well, Chuck. All right. Let's do some NFL news. Oh, the day records trends and a former Eagle given praise to the boys. That's next in the day. Hey, Mike Feliney 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 had 80% of the games when really they just lose like most of us think has to take it's 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. And just trying to figure it out just like you following listen to cash the ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, buddy, it's our number two of the G bag nation on one oh five three, the fan. And we're heading towards a cowboy saints Sunday and noon right here on the fan pregame at nine with brought us and she a follow and for more on this week's NFL headlines. Here's wall check. And the trash talk has already started as Dax talking to the media says he's got a couple buddies obviously from in Louisiana that have already been texting and blowing up his phone saying who dad. So hopefully that goes out there and has his buddies going back very upset. Yeah, who Dax got there in three or four touchdowns. You look out blocked from me. Yeah, I'm the Cowboys quarterback who that block here is trash talk right now. That's getting a lot of love, a lot of praise. We'll get to build Bella check in about an hour. He's been loving Dak Prescott, well deserving of his contract as well. But I know this had to pain at one specific member now of the media, Jason Kelsey, former Phil Fidell, via Eagle went on the podcast with his buddy Travis and he had to give number for his respect. I'm going to say this and I think it's probably going to upset some Eagles fans. I like where Dak Prescott is at right now, like when he you can see it in his interviews, how much more comfortable he is being like a leader in the NFL. Oh, yeah. I think early on in his career and anybody's like this, you're going to get more generic answers. You're not going to get a lot of depth. You're not going to get really insight into who he is. And I think that's a big turning moment for a lot of players when like I'm just going to say whatever the **** I want because this is where I'm at and I'm confident in who I am and what I can do. And the last two years you've seen, I just feel like he's more confident, it appears on the field, off the field. It just, I really, I'm digging his entire vibe right now. He's figured it out, man. He's figured it out and he knows it. And on top of that, I was actually, I was talking to Chris Jones in the locker room today about it. And he was mentioning to me, he's like, man, a lot of guys don't know that press got one of the hardest working guys out there. I was like, what? I love that. Is that how do you know this, Chris? How do you know this I guess he's? Well, they did play together there. This be safe. But how about Chris Jones impression from Travis there? But yeah, I mean, Jeff Saturday on ESPN was getting in a fight with screaming a Smith about Dak is well, he, he gave like a Dak, Peyton Manning, comparison, Peyton was another quarterback that was thought of as like, you're a regular season champ, you can't get it done to the playoffs. And finally he broke through. Granted, he had made a conference championship game at this point, but couldn't get past the hurdle of Brady and Belichick. And then finally was able to cash in, but Dak's getting a lot of praise right now from his NFL. Well respected, uh, fellow members. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, I think it's an interesting observation. I wonder if what he's picked up on is the recent aggression from Dak in the media because he was in the midst of a negotiation, you know, where you're speaking more freely, maybe you're backed up against a wall, you're throwing bombs about the owner that maybe you would never think of doing publicly. So we'll see. But, you know, I trust Jason's read on it. He's been in the NFL. He's seen a lot of guys come and go and I, I definitely agree the longer these guys are in, they figure out a great comfort zone where they can show more and more of their personality. But I also think Jason has shot now way past Travis in the cool guy category. I think since he retired, he's doing this podcast. He has spots, you know, he picked up like the most handsome man of the year type of deal and Travis has kind of slid into being like a kendall for his, his girlfriend rock star. Oh, getting, getting shout outs from Taylor Swift and the VMAs last night, that kind of role. But yeah, I mean, Jason knows that. I mean, he's played against them plenty of times that, but I did love an eagle having to take a moment to show some love to it. Alice cowboy. Well, it's important though to, for, you know, there's he's taken the approach to a lot of other media members have it that there's a lot of media members now that have gone that go after dad. No doubt. And he's kind of taken the other, you know, he's taken the opposite that, you know, talk about former Eagles, like Shady McCoy is taking the approach. Yeah. Yeah. He, you know, Kelsey understands that when you talk about the cowboys, you get people to, you know, you get people's attention. When Shady McCoy talks about it, you piss people off. But when Jason says he's figured it out, or Travis says that, yeah, we're talking about media relations, like you saw in the second half, you might see for a quarter or two against the Saints. This offense is getting the breaks put on it way too much. Yeah, you're going to need to see some improvement that there's no doubt there. That second half was, it was not pretty NFL averaging 21 million viewers per game during their opening week. That is up 12% over last year, according to Nielsen. I'm still trying to find out who Nielsen is, but 123 million people saw at least part of one game. It's highest total for an opening week since 2019. So the NFL still very, very healthy and they're probably pumped because scoring was up for the first time in two years on opening week as well. Yeah. Scoring was up this past week. So NFL week one numbers are suggesting that offenses really, really good. NFL saw 45.8 points per game across the 16 contests highest since 2021. And it gets the league above the 45 point watermark, which it's hoping to hit every week this season. So incredible. And there were 35 passing touchdowns thrown in a week one. That was the, the fewest though since 2006, a lot of rushing scores coming up, most rushing scores since the merger in a week one in the national football league. So passing touchdowns down, rushing touchdowns up, but overall offense was up for week one in the end of the season to take away to the preseason game, Dawson. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. You can get rid of all of them. See, everybody will argue that the play was really sloppy. It was sloppy play, but the numbers tell you that the, that the scoring was up. So being is really, which one was it? Sloppy player, these offenses are, they don't need the extra preseason stuff. Yeah. I mean, look, it's probably a combination of the two, but either way it's like it wasn't stopping people from watching football. No. It's okay. We just watch a little sloppy play for a week and they'll get it all figured out. I don't think it's like a detriment to the, I just heard a bunch of people talking about that they felt like the games weren't very, you know, because you don't have your first team in there. You know, and if you're not going to put your first team in there at all, you can do your evaluations in these joint practices. Yeah. But I also think you're talking about just, there's a, there's a lot of not good quarterbacks in the league right now. And some of that is guys that are just bad and we know they're bad or some of that is just there's a bunch of young guys that are learning on the fly. How many rookies started this week? How many guys are in year two, like Bryce Young and still haven't figured it out. So I think how many guys are Kirk cousins right now and he's not the same version of himself. And defenses took a big step last year. They did. Like they have, they have turned a lot of offenses into dink and dunk and it's going to acquire a lot of sophistication with your scheme and your quarterbacks abilities to find the windows to throw in down the field. It's getting harder and harder to do it. Well, and because last year the NFL taking, or the defense is taking that step and the numbers being down offensively, the NFL has got to be pumped and the numbers were up for week ones. We'll see if that trend ends up continuing. Dude, when you really look at these quarterbacks that are starting in the NFL, there's, there's so many bad starting quarterbacks right now. Bad starting quarter. That's why these teams are paying the guys like if you have somebody that's good, you know, they're they're paying them. It's like, Hey, if I got a guy that's borderline top 10, I'm probably giving him the contract. Yeah. How many good ones do we have? I mean, two is good. New England's bad. Buffalo's good. Aaron Rodgers is good. Right. There's three out of four. Yeah. But he's still not the same version of himself, you know, Joe Burrow came out of the gate slow as well. That's a guy that you expect to be good, but it's, I mean, think about it's rookie quarterback. So Caleb Williams, you have bow nicks to Sean Watson's terrible Anthony Richardson. So growing Jaden Daniels still growing. You have Kurt cousins. He's a problem. Daniel Jones, the problem Trevor Lawrence, super up and down Aaron Rodgers, not himself at this point. Jordan Love looked a little bit shaky. Bryce Young is bad. Jacobi Brissette, Gardner Minshew. Hmm. I mean, my goodness, yeah, we'll, we'll, Levis, Sam Darrant, Sam Darrant was good this past week, but you know, Justin Fields, that's a lot of not good quarterback, a lot of mediocre and then a lot of bad. And scoring was up. That's wrong. Was up rushing touchdowns. Wow. Most rushing touchdowns since the merger. Okay. We got bills, dolphins. I do think that's a lot of teams paying a lot more attention to the run game though. I know you're trying to move on, but they're, they're looking at how defenses are playing and like guys, if we can't run against a light box that has two safeties back the majority of the time. What are we doing? Well, it's that and it's the running quarterback. The quarterback. Yeah. I mean, Jay Daniels had two rushing touchdowns. It's the quarterback, certainly being willing to run, which is the same thing. It's what shot he told us. Yeah. Like ultimately, the answer is the quarterbacks taking me risk to run it because defenses are built now to challenge you to do that. And they believe teams aren't going to and they're not accounting for that extra player in the quarterback there. If they're going to take out and run, that can be a big thing. Now everyone's wondering like a Chan is he playing tonight, there's optimism that he's going to play with his ankle injury. I did see Jordan Schultz report that rookie running back Jalen Wright expected to be active tonight. Make his NFL debut where he most is out. Achan is questionable. We'll see. Maybe we get a heavy dose of Jalen right out of Tennessee who is kind of my pet cat during this running back draft, but I don't know, especially in PPR because he'll catch some passes. They haven't the preseason. They want to throw them the football. Achan's a guy that catches a lot of passes, especially this past week. So if Achan's going to be on a snap count, Wright or Jeff Wilson could be solid. Yeah, both of those guys probably going to get some playing time and Dolphin fans are optimistic. Like Achan was posting on his Instagram that he's going to be playing. So we'll see when we get closer to kickoff tonight, if we get something either way, we'll let you know. Now there was this comment made by Kyler Murray that I know has made some unhappy. I also thought it was a little bit of a strange comment, but Marvin Harrison Jr. did not have a good week one. It's actually a historically poor performance. One catch four yards on three targets, including a drop. So since 2000 Cardinals wide outs, week one outings have been 60 out of 61 among qualified receivers. They have been amongst the worst in the national football league, but we did see plays where Marvin Harrison Jr. is running open so totally for a game winning touchdown. Kyler doesn't throw in the football. He was asked about that and here was Kyler's response. Honestly, man, I wouldn't say they were just taking them away. I think just as a quarterback, obviously you go with your read. Sometimes the ball goes to him, but that's not, you know, it's not my job. Obviously, I have a sense and a feel for guys when they don't get the ball when they are getting the ball, but I leave that up to Drew, you know, Drew always, you know, he tells me don't worry about that type of stuff. Just keep playing your game and, you know, get the ball to where the ball's supposed to go. What? It's up. My job. Kyler, your job, that is exactly your job, right? Quarterback's job is to throw it to the open receiver. I get it. Maybe the play is not designed to go to Marvin Harrison Jr. Totally fair. It's going through my prior progressions, but that, and I know Ryan Fitzpatrick's on with the up and Adams and hated this comment as well. He was like, when you have a special receiver, like I don't give a damn. If the play call was called that, like I'm always trying to at least look over and see is he open. I'll go through the play as it's designed, but I'm always kind of keeping an eye on that receiver. And for Kyler, man, this distance himself, like he's not even a part of the process at all. Like, I just, I hated the comment here from him. Yeah, it's fair to hate that. That's not, that's not the response you want from your quarterback right there. And it makes him not the easiest person to, to like and get along with how can Marvin Harrison appreciate a comment like that? No, I will say I saw some of the speed numbers and I saw some of the clips of Marvin Harrison Jr. I mean, looking like he's laboring, looking slow. I don't know. I don't know what it was in terms of if he was just not happy with the, with the way the game was going. And so he wasn't running fast, but like he maxed out at 16.7 miles per hour, which is slower than any one of these rookie receivers over the weekend. I mean, even Kenan Allen, old man who was being called fat all off season was 18.3 topped out at Marvin Harrison was 16.7. That feels a little bit weird. It does. And hey, we've seen receivers kind of get dejected when they're not involved in it. And Marvin Harrison Jr. needs to also take it upon himself, like learning moment, let me get better as well. Let me make sure that I am getting open. It was a drop. Yeah. I mean, he's a rookie, right? Like he needs to learn trust from his quarterback too, but yeah, your job's third of the open guy. And if he's wide open for a game winning touchdown, you probably should have hopefully as a fan, like I'm hoping you see that guy, it's been a couple of years since we had that Kyler Murray, you know, real acceleration in the new cycle as far as his leadership. And I'd hoped, you know, he's getting into his mid 20s now that something would improve for him. I'm pulling for the guy. You can play, you know, the ability, the quickness, I love his arm, you know, kid, but I would not want him as my team's quarterback. You know, this is a moment. I don't know if Marvin Harrison is going to be the great NFL player that it looked like at times he was going to be at Ohio State, maybe maybe Kyler Murray is trying to keep the young kid accountable, you know, and tell that kid, Hey, you got to be better. But the way that things come off, you know, I think it's better that he's just silent. I think it's better that he's the silent version. I think, I mean, we've seen so many quarterbacks, whether it was just recently with Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs. And there's an issue there. Josh on was always saying the right, like he's holding himself accountable first. He's never pointing the finger at anybody else. And, and yeah, it's just one of these things with Kyler where it's always it kind of seems like it's deflection, right? It's not. It's not my problem. Right. Somebody else's. This is a feud. Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones, Don Van Nada actually has a big old piece on ESPN today about Robert Kraft and his desire to try and get into the Hall of Fame. He's been waiting now for 15 years now. We had a part of the story. Some voters believe he was part of the biggest cheating scandal and NFL history. That's a tough one to overcome. That was one voter that told Don Van Nada that in regards to Robert Kraft. Robert Kraft also apparently very upset that Jerry Jones is in the Hall of Fame and he is not in the Hall of Fame. He said Jerry hasn't made a conference championship in over two decades yet he's in the Hall and I'm not. Wow. Was that in my name? Yeah, it's a contributor thing, right? He made all those gentlemen billionaires and some of the ladies too that own teams. Their families are billionaires because of the contributions. That's what Jerry Jones is in for. Right? Not being a general manager. It's for it's the contributions that he made to the NFL. Bob Kraft needs to keep his mouth shut. Yeah. A lot of voters were saying that it just seems like super needy and they're turned off by this push from Bob Kraft, but Peter Kings got his back. He said, has there ever been a player, a coach, an owner, a commissioner who has a perfect resume who has never done anything wrong? Look at Joe Nameth. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns. He's in the Hall of Fame. Well, there's a lot of, there's a lot of guys that are in the Hall of Fame that probably shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame and he'd go back some of those quarterbacks from the 60s and 70s that their numbers weren't, you know, but it was a different era of football and all that. But still it's I think they were the best. I think a couple of guys like we didn't know you should be throwing four touchdowns for every pick back in the day, you know, or at least two and a half. There's anything news a day. Thank you, old Chuck. NFL news today. Most days, three o'clock here in the G back nation.

What's the Cowboys offense in for coming up Sunday at noon? And those are the next two segments right here on your home of the Cowboys 105 to the fan. Yeah, buddy. Let's go. It's time for the C note Cowboys news of the evening here in the G back nation. And why this Cowboys Saints game might be the terrific barometer for how well the season is going to go segments brought to you by the Frankles life's unpredictable accidents happen if you were a loved one's been in an accident due to somebody's negligence called the Frankles for a free consultation two one four or eight one seven three three three three three three jump online to Frankel firm dot com. It's also brought to you by cars for kids donate your vehicle today. Cars for kids dot org and we go to a Dallas Cowboys dot com where they have posted storylines for Cowboys Saints and the first one that jumped out to me, I'm only going to give you two. They have 10 in there. If you want to go read the rest of them. The Saints might be figuring things out and are about to emerge as one of the new teams that, you know, looks solid out there and is trying to become a contender. If you go back to last year, the Saints have won five of six and they actually have scored 40 plus two games in a row. This goes back to even last year before they brought in Clint Kubiak had one of the most impressive wins of any team in week one, 47 to 10, 37 points, biggest blowout margin and all that. But not the most points that New Orleans has scored in 2024 to win the regular season. Back in January, the Saints put 48 in a win up over the Falcons. Brian, this is a great opportunity yesterday. You previewed the Saints offense for us. Do you get the feeling watching this at the combination of Camara and Olave and, you know, Derek Carr is setting this team up to be, you know, a powerful force or what, what was your vibe? I feel like though that you have a, it's, you know, with Carmichael used to be the primary play car. He, you know, Sean was a play caller and then Pete Carmichael became the play caller and they got really stale looking. He'd been there for like two decades. Oh, no, he's Sean. He and Sean were yet forever together. And matter of fact, he was the guy that was kind of Sean was calling the plays, but Pete was putting together the menu and stuff like that and Sean was cooking the meal. But they got when, when Pete became a play caller, then all of a sudden they kind of, they lost a little bit of their identity. They tried some things with the, the, you know, with the, the, the tastes of Hill stuff. I mean, Pete was still trying to do those things and it just really wasn't working out. When you Clint Kubiak, it just didn't one game sample size, the motion to a double motion to alignment to playing with a full back to putting guys in positions to the, the bunch formations, the motions, the quick, you know, the ball with the Saints, it's always been kind of going down the field, go down the field. This is more the number more in between the hashes in between the numbers. And this guy didn't miss a throw. Everything was kind of intermediate underneath like, Hey, get the ball, your hands. We don't know how good our offensive line is going to be. Play under center a bunch, hand the ball to Camara that way, then instead of like putting the shot going to make it in place sideways. A play action. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's a, there's a, you know, it's clearly a different offense the way they play. And it's an offense that the Cowboys have struggled against under, you know, Dan Quinn and Rod Marinelli before that, whenever you'd find some, some sort of this motion you saw it against Green Bay, obviously San Francisco does it quite well. The Rams historically have, you know, kind of had the Cowboys number when they had the, the personnel. So it kind of comes down to it. The first great test for Zimmer's defense, like right now the narrative is Zimmer has made the Cowboys defense better and along with over shown in Kendrick's and maybe Joseph and Mazzi Smith playing better. This is going to be a completely different look. Well, I think we get the truth to that maybe by 1 30 or two o'clock Sunday afternoon in the middle of that game. Yeah. I thought this was kind of a truth serum game. Is this New Orleans Saints offense legit or was it just going up against maybe the worst defense in football, the Panthers last year, as this Cowboys defense legit or was it just going up against the Sean Watson in a broken offensive line, we'll get a chance to, to really, really see that. But I think it'll be a, it's a nice challenge. It's a nice challenge for the Cowboys defense here because the, I mean, the scheme and everything that Kubiak is running right now is absolutely what you would want out of your football team this in this day and age of offensive football and they've got like a lot of versatility with their skill guys. The running back specifically like Kamara moving guys around like crazy. Yeah. What they're able to do there. I think the right side of their offensive line susceptible. Oh, a lot of they did not have a great game. He's certainly their best receiver. She, he's a guy that can go deep for on you. I mean, no doubt about that. I'm with you. Like I think there's a little bit of a row is a tight end. They've thrown the ball. They went from being one of the teams that does never ever targets the tight end to now target. They were, I think they were number one and targets the tight end and this just in one game. I know small sample size, but they never threw the ball the tight end and now they're trying to kind of find ways to make those throws. So that's, I mean, Marosa got a circle. Derek Carr is a guy though that is, I mean, we know, we know about him being under pressure. He's kind of like one of these Jared Goff dudes. He's a solid quarterback, but under pressure, he is not himself, but he likes to throw the tight end. Yeah, but that's what they've tried to do and they don't, they're not allowing him to get hit. Carolina just, Carolina does not have the type of pass rush. I mean, they've got some guys, but it's, you know, and, and, and Zach's right, the right side of that Saint's offensive line is, is acceptable to giving up some pressure. Yeah. I mean, I think that the Saints, uh, there's definitely a little bit of over exaggeration personally with how good they are and how good this offense is heading into this week. I think they kick maybe the worst team in football's ass on Sunday. Right. And so all these numbers are looking fantastic. I think the Cowboys defense is going to have a totally different type of game plan under Mike Zimmer for them that they're not really going to be able for four quarters to sustain, but it is a fun challenge because for three years under Dan Quinn, if there is something that he didn't have an answer for, it was all of this motion and the Saints ran a lot of it and we won. Yeah. Does Derek Carr pass your guys a line of good NFL quarterback? Yeah. He's right there as like solid, solid together made the cut. Yeah. Yeah. I would say that he's in that good range. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Two offensive players. The Cowboys should use more in week two. Maybe there's an offensive player. You want to see the Cowboys use more in week two. This is blogging the boys. We're going to start with a tweet they pull from Skywalker steel. Hmm. He's got stacked box numbers with Rico in the game. The Brown stacked the box 62 and a half percent of the time with Zeke 20% of the time. What do you think of that metric there, Brian? Yeah. That's clearly they think that one of them is quicker, faster than the other that they can play more of a base style of a defense. So they don't need to go with the heavy box because they feel like that they could rally before that guy gets to the hole. Yeah. I also would love to like dive into these because some of this is Zeke was on the field a lot more playing on third down playing an obvious passing situations where, okay, we're not concerned about stopping your run here and Zeke benefited from that on at least one of his carries. It was a third quite a bit and he ran for like nine yards and it's like, that's fine. We don't care about a nine yard run on third down and 13 or whatever. Yeah. You know, that's interesting. I think I would do that research if I'm in the Cowboys building this week because I think we're making a Jason Whitten level mistake here where a significantly inferior player is going out into the field because of the respect that he gets in the locker room or whatever. See, this is where this is where the second half of that game and I get killed for this. But this is in the second half of this game. You give a team that you have on the ropes that you're not that you know, they're not coming back and you have no faith in running against it. Yeah. You have Zach Martin apparently said the exact same thing today in the locker room. I said they missed an opportunity in the second half. I just feel like that to me that, you know, if all of a sudden the Browns are not coming back in that football game, let's load this thing up and see if we can really run the ball against them. They're kind of wore down their beat up, they're tired, but it's still a great test to see if we can block their linebackers and block their front and you just kind of just let that thing go where you could have, you could have killed, even if you don't have great success, you give some confidence, maybe and people say, well, what about the other end? If you got stuffed, well, if you get stuffed and you know damn good and well, you have no running game. You know, that's one of the, you know, one of the better run defenses you're going to play right there. Yeah. And if you get stuffed, now you need to go back and think about, are we good enough at running back? Are schemes good enough up front block in the way we block? You learn something about yourself that way. Yeah. And I, you know, I think the Cowboys wanted to run the ball going into 2023. They tried up until the bye week and they were like, this isn't working. I think in the second half when the times they did run it, the production was so pathetic that they answered that question, we can't. And they were like, well, if we're going to have any chance of moving the chains, it's got to be with the passing game. And that's got to be a big red flag because I feel like your offensive line is good enough that you should have at least some level of confidence in your running game. So if we're that unconfident and we're going to send Zeke out there again, that is organizational malpractice. I think anybody involved with the Cowboys should be at the very least printing off a bunch of these copies and anonymously handing them out. If you think it's, it's too big of a party foul to actually bring that up in a meeting that guys, we should not be putting Zeke on the field. Do it anonymously, but somebody please be our hero up there and save us again from this. I wanted to believe that, you know, Zeke could come back, find a fountain of youth, but the numbers are staggering. And the fact that you weren't even trying to run the ball in the second half tells me you don't have faith in him or Rico. And why should you? Yeah. I mean, you said that there were times they didn't, but they were, I think the opening drive that went three straight passes, you know, to me, I, there's, there could be a mix. There could be the play action mix. There could be the run mix, but you're right. Maybe they looked at it and they said, Hey, we're not going to, we're not going to have any success. I would have gone to it and try to say, okay, let's see if we can find some creative ways. They were doing things with the traps and things like that. You know, if you, if you have some success running in the second half, you feel a little bit like, okay, this is a good defense. You know, this is a good defense. We just moved the ball running against and that would give you some confidence going forward here because you're going to play some games. You're going to need that four minute offense. Yeah. And when I say four minute offense is that's the offense that kills games. And if you have, if you, if you're, if you're getting to a four minute offense and you can't do that, then you're going to go back to this game against Cleveland, I think, and say, why did we not try and see what we could, we could maybe accomplish instead, we just let it pass by. Yeah. We're up four. We're up three. What we don't need is to get a quick field goal. What we need to be able to do is make three first downs and end this game. And if, if you can't do that, I don't think you're legitimate in January and right now I'd be looking at the rest of my team like, damn it, we're good. We got a lot of good players on this team. We need to take care of this running game right now. I know the game was really close. It was a two point game, the Texans and the Colts, but you watch what the Texans did in the last four minutes, that game to kill it and Joe mixing and here's a guy that picked up during the, you know, basically during training camp and said, okay, well, here we go. Let's, let's go for it. Let's run this way. And they did. And you could see on their sideline, when that game was over the final first down, they, there was a, there was a sense of pride that they found a way to finish that game running the ball. And I think there'll be a better team for it down the stretch because they felt like they, we needed to run the ball, we mission accomplished outside of the one year with DeMarco Murray, where they had him for four years, but only really used him once. And then like two and a half years with Zeke or one and a half years with Zeke this last 15 years. I mean, it's been a joke, the Joe Randall thing, you know, the Darren McFadden year, you know, like it's just been really, really for a long, long time. I mean, you can go back to Felix by, you know, and find Joe Jones, a fat guy in training camp at an Oxnard, California that was scheduled to be there running back number one that year, you know, it's just, I don't know how they could be so brilliant at some positions and have, you know, I think a massive blind spot here with what it's going to take. And then when they do find one, they overpay him worse than anybody in the league. It's just crazy. Okay. We got a run. We're coming up next. Yeah, let's talk about this, this New Orleans defense or some things you need to know about it. We'll do that next. Thank you, Lucius. So we'll get to cross these corner here in two seconds. Jake Ferguson, DNP today, same with John Stevens, we're looking at a tight and Brian. Yeah, that would be probably they have an elevation, maybe with Fant. You get two elevations, you know, per game from the practice squad. So you have to be careful about that. They might have to do Carl Lawson, depending on what happens with Neelen limited. Yeah. So I would, I would keep an, keep an eye on that tight end position for sure. Okay. With the Saints, uh, to Lisa Fuaga, the starting rookie tackle left tackle. Yeah. He showed up with the back. So the ID and P that is big, that is huge for the same with Lattimore again. Yeah. Lattimore, I believe is a hamstring. And that would mean that, uh, Kool-Aid McKister and start there, sign me up for CDLAM versus Kool-Aid McKinstry. I mean, Kool-Aid, good player, a lot of speed, but he's a guy that will gamble and you can beat him deep. I think a CD could feast versus Kool-Aid. That is a plus matchup for the Cowboys. Tyran Matthew limited for the Saints to realize he'd gone home there. Yeah. He, I'll tell you where the thing with, with Matthew is you have to be careful with him because what happens when he's involved in the tackle, he's always punching at the ball. Yeah. He, he's one of those guys. He figured out that like, okay, I might not be able to like run you down or anything like that. But when he gets in position, he's figured out how to, you know, his career has been creating turnovers. Yeah. So if he gets the game, anything that, where he's around, you have to be very, very careful of him creating turnovers there. He is the man and he's had a great career. It's time now for Krusty's corner, brought to you by a reliant air conditioning gimmick free AC repair and replacement. Here's the king. Right. Thank you very much. You know, I appreciate that. The Saints defense and I, I, I'm really, this was one of those times where I was, you know, you think about the opponent and you think about the quarterback and you think about the youth of the quarterback with Bryce Young and you wonder did the Saints play this game with Bryce Young in mind, but the, what they tried to do to him and I was, because what happened, this was a, the Saints, I feel like you've got some guys that are legitimate pass freshers when you talk about Cam Jordan, when you talk about Carl Granderson, you know, when you also, you know, Chase Young, who they, you know, was with the Washington and then with the 49ers, you know, these guys are all can rush the passer, but this was a weird game in the way. And I had to look this up because I kept noticing on tape. The Saints had, and I'm just, I'm just, this is exactly what it was from the metrics. The Saints had five off ball players generate a pressure in this game. Yeah. They were, they were, they were blitzing. Yeah. They've got a good one. Backers. Yeah. They sent, they sent, it was the Saints sent 12 different players who did not play edge or defensive tackles on blitzes in this game. They got eight pressures on 14 blitzes. So that's something, I don't know if it was one of those things. There was one time I was watching their, their, their, their Nickelback, Alante Taylor had three sacks in this game. So you know, here's, here's, you know, here's a team that was bringing safeties. They were bringing linebackers. They're bringing nickel guys. They were just, they were doing things in a way that, that really gave the Carolina Panthers a lot of problems. And I don't know how you go into this game thinking like, okay, well, this might be our plan. It might also feel like there was one of the teams that was 28th in the league last year in sacks. And they might feel like, you know what, if we don't generate pressure, we're in trouble in these games. So this could be the new identity of the Saints is a finding a way to bring pressure, whether it's slot pressure, safety pressure, linebacker pressure. That might be that way because of their, but I mentioned about Granderson and Jordan. And also young, those guys think are capable passrushers, but it was through the, it was pressured through other means that they were able to, to get that, to get that home. Yeah. Well, I love it. If they try that against the Cowboys. Yeah. Yeah. Well, because Dak is Dak understands that Dak is, you know, there was times in this game where Bryce Young, where they gave up a sack, Bryce Young moved a running back from his left to his right. And they brought the pressure off the left. It ended up being a sack and the running back, he moved, never blocked anybody as big difference going up against Bryce Young versus Dak and that's, and maybe it was, maybe it was one of these games where they felt like, okay, we can confuse this kid. They're going to play a ton of press coverage. They have, that's, that's just the way they are. They've done it for the last two years. What a man. Yeah. They are just, they, I don't think they respected Carolina's wide receivers in this game at all. The Carolina actually only had five completions when the Saints played man coverage against them. So a lot of single high look, you know, Dak dominates that. Yeah. And what, what you've got to worry about a little bit though, and missing maybe Ferguson in this game, we're having to tie it in when you play single high as those seam routes. Yeah. That you're able to kind of get the ball up the field that way. Dak loves throwing those. Yeah. He loves throwing the seam. Man, it's probably his best throw. I wonder if Hunter Lipke, you start to see a lot more of him, let me just throw it out there. Big game potentially, not big game, but big game for him as a Dallas cowboy is Luke Schoonmaker. Luke, if these say, if these tight ends don't play, Luke Schoonmaker is going to have to find a way to step up in one of these games, you know, he is going to have to be a guy that they rely on here. So we'll see how it all plays out there. We mentioned Marshawn Latimore on the, um, on the injury report right there. I'll say this. I went back and looked at this because I was curious when the last time that, that Latimore and CD lamb played, they did play against each other in 2021, Latimore carried him five times in that game at 36 routes and Latimore had an interception only allowed one reception on three targets against all the other defensive backs in that game. Lamb had six receptions for 86 yards. So if Latimore does it play, uh, you're going to see it. We mentioned McKistory McKistory was a, you know, he was an accomplished DB at, at, at Alabama, but last week he, he only gave up one reception on three targets. He had 17 snaps that he played in as well. So that's something that you have to keep it, keep an eye on because the one thing is that you know, Latimore, he, he's got that kind of ability, uh, to, to lock your guy down. But with the hamstring, I think that's maybe a little bit of a tall order. He hasn't practiced the last couple of days. I mentioned about the pass rush, um, Chase Young, I'm going to say is probably the guy that I would, I would worry about the most. I know Cam Jordan, Cam, Jordan's a lot like when you, when you look at, um, when you look at what tank Lawrence does for the Cowboys, he's a good run defender. He's got to be able to pass rush at times, but I don't think he has the, the, the quickness though of maybe what tank was. So they went and got Chase Young and he plays mainly on the right side. Um, he's going to, you know, he gets that opportunity to go against Tyler Geithin of all the guys that rushed young had the most pressures in this game. I mean, he had 25 pass rushes and he had six pressures and you could see it. That was more than, that was double more than any of the other saints pass rushes in this game. So you have to be ready for him jumping around blocks. He's not afraid to take a chance and just rush inside to attempt to make, to make a stop. He'll freelance a little bit on you, uh, you know, in that different way. I mentioned Granderson. He's kind of a long edgy, rangey type of a guy plays well really on the move. He's got a slippery element to his game. So it will see what happens with, uh, you know, Terrence Steel play, I thought played really well for you last week. Uh, we'll see if he can back that up with another good game and having to deal with, with Granderson, the linebackers, they're not as good as what you saw last week. The linebackers are clean when we were clearly better players. Pete Warner and, uh, DiMario Davis or like I say, the linebackers on this team, there's nothing flashy about these guys. Um, I've seen them both get in position to make plays and then miss in space. The one thing that the, the, uh, the Browns linebackers were able to do. They were able to tackle. And so this, this group right here with what I saw in the, in the, in the games, whereas that, that Warner and Davis, both position guys, but might miss as well. So I feel like I say the crew you played in Cleveland is a, is a little bit better group for you to go against right there. Well, it's about time to Mario Davis isn't, uh, one of the best linebackers in the league. It seems like for the last 10 years, he's just been a model of consistency. Yeah. Well, it was like I say with Warner, there were times where the ball would got the outside a little bit. He was running to get there and just was a step or two late. So they're not the fastest guys, they tried to add some speed with the Willie Gay, who they brought in over from the chiefs. Yeah. The, the, the, this front, as I mentioned, uh, I gave you the names of the guys. They'll like to angle the front and the combination with the linebackers, they'll angle the front and then they'll fill with the linebacker to the backside of that. So whatever way they angle, say they go to the left, they'll take the linebacker and put him in the right. So what they're really trying to do is kind of fill all the gaps there in the, in the run, in the run defense. And so that's, uh, you know, that's the way that they're going to kind of play. So you might be able to pop a runner too on these guys because what'll happen is they'll slant one way and then the ball might go the other. So they'll slant themselves. They'll take themselves out of the play, uh, Carolina was able to kind of take advantage that a couple of different times. Uh, we'll see if Dallas is committed to, to trying to run the football a little bit more in this game. And if they have some success, it might be because you see a slant front and then they're able to hit the slant front going opposite of where they're taking the football here. So, um, it's, uh, it's a defense. It's, uh, it's with the, with the pass rush, it's been a lot about the, the blitzes, especially last week. I will be interested to see if they try and do the same thing to DAC. I think that would kind of be disastrous for them if they try and blitz them because DAC won't miss those reads like, uh, that kid at Carolina did last. No, that's for sure. I think your best bet is just trying to time something up nicely to confuse the lineman like what happened on it ended up being a touchdown for the Cowboys, the Brandon cooks, but the line screwed it up and allowed a free rusher right up the middle and it's like, yeah, it's like bus. Can we try and confuse the offensive line because DAC's not going to, DAC's not going to be confused. Man, Brian, uh, appreciate the breakdown. Yep. I love it. Crusty's corner every Wednesday and Thursday, 340 delivers the scouting report for your Cowboys opponent tomorrow. What you drinking, what you thinking at 520 Brian is going to take down the little nitro gummy bear, the world's hottest gummy bear. And I'm just reading, uh, online people talking about this thing. You're there and on, on X, they're really saying, do not do this. He said, I had trouble with this. I'm an extreme hot sauce guy. Yeah. Saw that. This is going to end badly for you. This is no joke. Yeah. Saw that too. Uh, please be careful. Brian. Uh, don't do this, Brian. How about D town fan man, the cardiologist better be on call for you. Okay. So this is tomorrow at 520. A camp miss radio event, a man of Brian's age attempting the little nitro gummy bear. I don't, I don't know if anybody this old has ever eaten one of these. No, this has to be the most hazardous payoff. We get Guinness here, like, is this a Guinness book of world records? Yeah. The world record oldest. Well, it's 900 times the, of a jalapeno pepper, right? Yeah. I think it's like 900,000 or 900 million, I was reading the box. I was doing the little box research here. Sometimes the box will fool you at box for nine million Skoville, right? Nine million Skoville. Is that what it is? Yeah. Nine million Skoville. Yeah. Yeah. Making it 900 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper. I hope you don't have an ulcer. And if you don't today, you will certainly by Saturday morning, just fine, Brian. Yeah. You got this, man. I like so too. Very confident after a couple of weeks ago, our remote downtown where Foxy's trying all kinds of hot sauces. I think that that confidence might get the best of yeah. Okay. So what has high praise for your cow, boys, is he working an angle here, trying to get the job or is this genuine? It's next. Hey, Mike Volenny here host a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcasts claiming they're a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcasts that claim they had 80% of the games when really they just lose like most of us think has to take it's 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. The nation, our three G back nation on one Oh five three. The family. What do you think about Bill Belichick and him sniffing around the Cowboys? Is he hinting that he wants to be here? Is he telling us that they are the real deal or what the Franklin, Frankel injury attorney text line is open for you here at eight seven seven eight eight one one Oh five three. Please leave your name and city or texting from we'll make you famous here in the nation. We're all here today and we want to thank you for making us a part of your day pregame Sunday at noon. I know pregame at nine kickoff at noon with the Saints in town. This should be good. So Bill was on with the map Patricia and your buddy Michael and Barney Brian. Yeah. By the way, we're outside. So come by the Miller Lite Plaza to see yeah, see Eric and I if you want. It's the best dude. It's glorious after our summers when we get livable weather again. Yeah. It's it's amazing. You know, it's enchanted. I think probably now through mid November, we have the best weather in America. I think it's been 95 degrees that day. It's nine AM, but it's it's an AM game. So I think we're okay. I mean, I think it's an AM pregame show. That'll feel nice. It would be good. I mean, after battling this summer, 95 is not too bad. 89 feels amazing. 89 is like we're in Santa Barbara. The weather the last week has been really nice here. It has. I love it. Yeah. By the way, real quick, I'm sorry. You see where Brunoff's taking tomorrow off like he gave it like, hey, no weather forecast. I'm taking tomorrow off. It's about time. I never take a day off, right? Yeah. Oh, wait. Are you criticizing him for this? I've watched dog in him. He gets his one day every year. I want. We got a hurricane going on in the Gulf, right? That's right. Yeah, but I think you're having to fly in early. Those golf balls aren't going to hit themselves, man. I have watched dog in my man because I need my weather report every morning. Oh, that's where you're getting your weather. Yeah. He does a great job of giving the weather report. I'm like, he's like, hey, no weather report tomorrow. I'm taking a day off. Almost takes it back. Like bro, really? I worked here seven years. I think that's the first time you've taken a day off. That's a Dan Brunoff, K R L. D. A.M. He does a fine job. Maybe to why the park, okay, Bella, check on the Cowboys playing with the lead. Nobody's better at playing ahead than Dallas is. They control the ball. They can play from a head on defense with their past right with their coverage. That really plays into their hands. We'll see what happens when they get into a tighter game. Maybe they have to play from behind. You know, some teams are more comfortable that way. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Sure. You know, that's established. I don't know. Does Bella check have a good beat on what the Cowboys are good at here? I'll tell you what, the one thing that Bill will do is he's got to have draft envy. He'll study that tape. He will. It's amazing. His career and Tom Landers career, very similar, how they both ended, but but Bella check, he'll watch all your tape. But where's that? Where's he getting? They control the ball offensively. I don't know where that's coming from. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you know, maybe that was just some word potpourri. He snapped back into coach mode. Yeah. I think that to me that the control in the ball, maybe you watched the first half of the game the other day, but I just like the questions I had, we all know that. I'm not going to say it anymore, but I would, I would say that, you know, he's, he's, he understands where, you know, they, they played last year, what two years ago, right? That kind of thing. Maybe Bill's kind of having a little bit of that. I played last year. Yeah. He played last year. Oh, that's right. Yeah. The history of his career. Yeah. So maybe that's what he's kind of basing things on. Now he's going to talk about the Cowboys personnel department. I think his answer here is, is just fascinating to try to read between the lines because, you know, Brian's been telling us since Bella check was let go of New England that that would be the biggest obstacle is the Cowboys front office has been established for so long. You'd be disrupting a lot of very important influential people in the organization. Yeah. Would you want Bella check as your head coach, like, you know, it's, here's the thing with me before the Cowboys hired Mike Zimmer, you tell me, can I get Bella check as a head coach scouting the opposition, deploying his defense while I have a different, completely different independent offensive mind and front office, I would sign off on that. But now that you have Mike Zimmer here adding this layer, I'm not sure where the benefit of hiring Bella check would be. We saw that he was great with Tom Brady. We believe he can still coach defense, but if he's going to insist on bringing offensive coaches and insist on disrupting this personnel department that I think is doing a hell of a job over the last decade plus, I don't think it would be worth it to get Bella check for that. Bill says, I think you got to give Dallas personal department, Steven, a lot of credit. If the only way that you can afford CD DAC, some of their, other high price players is you got to find good players that don't cost much. Yeah. They've done a really good job at that other than the 2023 draft and a few others. Yeah. That was, that was a, that was not a good one, but yeah, that to me there's, if you give me say Ben Johnson from Detroit and Mike Zimmer, if that's the case, I mean, if, if there's a change, if there's a change, you know, I, I don't necessarily. I don't, how do you guys feel about Josh McDaniel's with this offense? Yeah, I would not be in favor of that at all. I mean, I, I think that's a, that's a great qualifier to have if you're kicking the tires on bill. It's like, man, we don't really trust you, Ernie Adams comes along with him than anybody. I, I think it was a great fit with Tom and Jay Cutler. I just kind of feel like that, that if you're, if you're doing something with Bill, you know, okay, who, who are the coaches you're bringing along? Because now you have DAC for, you're going to have DAC for four more years. Yeah. You better find somebody that, that can, that can make the quarterback work, you know, make the quarterback and we talk about how can you develop it. I guess you can get better and everybody does, but that's kind of wonder like, you know, if you're telling me it's Josh McDaniel's and I'm, I'm not necessarily getting fired up about that. You know, I would, I would like Mike Zimmer and name a different offensive coordinator. Just pick one. Well, as I'm saying, if Ben Johnson were your head coach potentially and then, you know, and he's the primary play caller and then he's been Johnson's got a really good offensive line coach. He did it, you know, can, there's, there's a lot of toughness about that Detroit team and there's a, there's the way that they, I mean, he's got that guy golf planted at a high level and I don't know, I'm not, I was never the biggest, the biggest golf fan, but man, they, they, their offense, the receivers, how they get the running game. There's a lot of, a lot of things you really like about the, what he's done. Obviously values running back, you know, might even use a, a first or second round pick on one of them. Okay. They've, uh, Bella check on what's the question here on continuing to praise the Cowboys kicking game. I'll pass on that. Okay. Yes. Aubrey's great though. Salute to Aubrey. Salute to the sport of soccer for developing good, accurate kickers. And on to Marvian over shown, Bella check, another thing the Cowboys got this year was like another free draft choice over shown 11 tackles didn't even play last year because he tore his ACL. So he came back for his second year and this is the thing to me that gives him a chance to be different, you know, along with Kendrick's over shown, could they get, you know, above average or maybe over shown in his, in, you know, in his, his, his youth can give you dominant play there. That's what's been missing from their defense. Their whole linebacker room is completely remade. Yeah. It just completely remade and he's right though about what over shown brings. This is somewhat of a speed element and the kid playing safety, playing linebacker. He's got really good instincts. He tackles very well. Yeah. Yeah. You see, I mean, that's a young guy in space bringing down a guy like that, the wrap up tackle and all that man guys, he's textbook the way he plays. He's a no, he's a no brainer superstar. I mean, he does, he does it all. He's got the athleticism for the splash plays and he's a great finisher, as you said, but he's also got the instincts as well where he's just, he's doing the right thing so that somebody else is making the play here. And, and it was a thing of beauty to watch him and Kendrick's play next to each other last week. Yeah. And doing the right thing. So your teammate can make a play is something they missed big time last year in some huge key situations that, you know, ultimately embarrass them. And you know, that's the, the next topic here as we go to Tim Kalashar's article this morning in the morning news, talking about Dak and not being the only critical piece to a successful cowboy season. And you look at the highest paid quarterback and top paid wide receiver, you know, a lot of focus can go there, but I thought the key to his piece was when you're, he's talking about the chiefs says I would argue that, you know, no one has, has been better in the modern era football that as, as he will prove over time, but the chiefs defense has been more dominant than its offense during at least two of the Super Bowl runs, especially last year's. I don't think we talk enough about the personnel, the defensive stars over there and, and, and Steve. Yeah, I think that's a great point. I mean, look, and I brought it up last week when we talked about, you know, as great as Mahomes is, he probably isn't winning as many Super Bowls without Chris Jones on the other side who also has stepped up and made that secondary I think was huge in that Super Bowl game, right? They were right. But Chris Jones is their best defensive player and Chris Jones has come up with some massive plays throughout their run and, and yeah, the secondary was great and luxurious needs been awesome for them. I mean, and, and what Steve Spagnolo has done, he has built himself as arguably the best big game defensive coordinator, maybe in the history of the NFL with what he did with the Giants and winning Super Bowls there. And now carrying it over and doing it with Andy Reid and the Chiefs. So 100%. That is very, very fair taught that the Chiefs defense, we love the quarterback. We love what they did with Tyree Kill and Andy Reid on offense and, and that all deserves plays were praise, right? Travis Kelsey, but that defense has been outstanding. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't think Tom ever won one without a top five defense, you know? So I think it's, you know, definitely worth focusing on, especially because we have this opportunity with this person on this, this coordinator, I mean, the, the Cowboys at times over the last two years have appeared to be having the potential to play great defense. But in the longer the season went on, the more it became clear how we're going to break this thing down, you know, and that's again, what makes this New Orleans game so important with the style of offense that they run kind of reminds me of Arizona last year, even though New Orleans better than Arizona. Are you going to get into trouble with your discipline and end up on the ropes against a team that you're a touchdown favorite against at home. And if that happens, I think this, this narrative is, you know, on thin ice right now, could it become solidified in a, in a big way, you know, Sunday and then the following week against Baltimore, like these next two games are going to go a huge way. I'm doing my best to not get carried away. I've made a pledge. I'm not going to fall for optimism because you beat bad offenses like the Cowboys have been doing for pretty much all of Dak's career. But you know, these next two tests are, are, are pretty dang big ones in a, in a chance, I think to give this thing some credibility, right? Even the most cynical cowboy fan, at some point you would turn and say, okay, this is a great team. And you know, maybe we're, maybe we're about to see that. All right. Maybe you're about to see people slow down on 75 finally, the speed limit has been lowered and increased patrols down here, right here on this highway. Okay. So don't go flying out of here. They're saying they may even arrest you if you're doing 95 here through town. Apparently there's been a bunch of wrecks last couple of years. Unless you're a receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs. It's one of the. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And that was, that was actually mentioned in the morning news article about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That, um, you know, that incident, several others. That was good. NBC five investigated and found drivers going 120, a buck 30 down here this Monday night. I would tell you what, let me tell you what, 30, they're, they're cars. I've come back from Mabs games coming from downtown, back up to Northwest highway where I live and it is scary cars flying around you going that fast and all over those hills and stuff like that. But it, yeah. Now it's crazy. It's, it's crazy on that highway at night. Apparently, speeding tickets written in the zone have come down significantly since like twenty nineteen, um, so they're going to, they're going to pick up. Where are they going to hide the policeman? Where do they hide? Do they hide on the other side of the hill or where are we hiding it all over the place? Well, it's because I mean, where is it overpass? I don't know. They'll get you on the side, right? They can't get. I mean, they would, they would sit on the shoulder, not really. That's a, that's a dangerous situation in it. Yeah. But just having them crew, maybe just having them cruise up and down the expressway more because for a slowing effect, you see it like what you see and you're like, whoa. Yeah. Oh, death breaks. All righty. It is the G back nation here on 105 through the fan about halfway down with today's broadcast. We'll go all the way until seven o'clock. We'll check. It's top ten time.

It is breathtaking. I saw Cirque du Soleil Oh last night and it's amazing. But I do think being there for a college football game or they'll show like the end when the Mavericks season starts they'll show basketball hockey like they showed what it was like in a preview for the NBA finals and then for the Stanley Cup final and for EPL you know English Premier League's there. They'll probably have some World Cup games there in the future. It looks incredible. I mean it's like you're literally right behind the goal. You're at center ice. You're at the 50 yard line. It's amazing. I mean and they've got a full bar set up. The food was really good. We tried the brisket nachos. I can't recommend it enough. I thought it was incredible. So if you want a chance to go for free go to odyssey.com/105 through the fan contest page. They're for a chance but they'll show the UFC fights and the UFC on Saturday is actually going to be at the sphere in Vegas. This is like a mini sphere. So you can go and check out the UFC fights there as well on Saturday night but it was bad ass boys. I mean I can't speak highly enough. I know RJ read studies like dude I'm trying to go as well. Tim Collins is going to go I think see Cirque du Soleil so I was pumped about it dude. It was a great time. Wife had a great time. It's a blast. Six level man 180 degree LED display can go from 8K to 12K. They flip through 5 to 10 camera angles per event. Yeah and they've actually got people at these games like Cosm has a relationship with the NFL. Yes. Like they're licensed partners. They own a company called C 360 which handles video technology for the league. So like pile on cameras in the NFL. Yeah. Boom. 360 degree cameras at MLB games. So yeah that's what because I was wondering I'm like how are they getting such a great look. I know they have their own Cosm cameraman outside there in the in these stadiums but looks next level dude. It's worth it. And the seats are outstanding super super comfortable. I mean I can't imagine if you were to go with a group of friends to go check out like a college game that you really want to and you're just kind of like owning your own little row. It'd be it'd be a blast. It really really would be. So if you haven't gone I highly encourage you go check out enter the contest to win and have expense for the food and drinks like pretty much your standard price at any bar that you would go to. So 30 bucks an entree wasn't no I don't think anything on the menu that I saw there might have been like the steak freets was the only thing that was more expensive than 30 dollars steak freets we've done that before have we have done the steak freets but it was honestly pretty reasonable like I think the the nachos like 15 bucks or something like that is there entry fee. Yes. How much did I take it's I think it varies per event. Okay. Check them out. We think it like the future state fair pass. I'm not sure if Cirque du Soleil and like the college football games are the same price but yeah maybe the state maybe you can you can like trade places show up with the state fair pass. Never know. Let me in here man. Right. Let's slide into the top 10 top 10 best sports video games of all time. Those of you that are fans of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater which is an honorable man. Oh 100% one and two lost years of my life to give me pro skater three okay for the personal victory here. So get excited. All right. Tony Hawk says he's working with Activision again to build a new game. It will be something that fans will truly appreciate. So I think we're going to get an updated invitation for Tony Hawk and a new game there. So that's going to be pretty awesome excited for that because I did love playing that as a kid. We got NFL Street is an honorable mention on here. I love NFL. Great game. Same here man. NFL is wonderful. NBA Street. Yeah. Tony Hawk was amazing. He was a giant basically open world, you know, just doing a rail side. Like my age. Truck grinding. Yeah. Dude. Yeah. I mean this game was out like 25 years ago when it's big, right? It was a long time ago, but it was freaking amazing dude. Great soundtrack. It was it was it like high quality graphics and stuff great for the times. Absolutely dude. And you like like the airport you could be skateboarding through an airport. You're like you're grinding on on escalators and whatnot. You're grinding on the luggage claim. You know, it was kickflips, Ollie's, you know, fantastic. Okay, dude. Yeah, I could never skateboard for real, but that game got my attention. I just I thought Tony Hawk and I are about the same age. He's like 56 years old. Oh yeah. So he sees is this like just like modern Tony Hawk? What do we got going? Well, apparently they've been making like new games. Yeah. Yeah. So like old man Tony Hawk is that what we're going to play like video game, right? Yes. I used to do this. Yeah. I just I'm the face of it. And they have a bunch of other skaters, right? It's just like the Tiger Woods golf game. You don't just have to play with Sophie Lopez with a pain in my ass. So low. Yeah. They've got fight night round four is on here. Tiger Woods, PGA toward the 2004 edition is our dimension. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. How about tech mobile? Getting some love. Gosh, tech mobile. That's a throwback. Can you read me? Absolutely. The first real football game, tech mobile. I would like to throw a royal. Was it Royal Rumble? Ring Kings. Oh, Ring Kings. Original Nintendo is a fun boxing game. Mike Tyson thing. What was that? Well, the Mike Tyson video game was great. No, this was a different boxing game, but you know, Mike Tyson's punch out on Nintendo or the regular punch out you would play at the arcade definitely belongs in the top 10. We got backyard baseball being texted in blitz the league, fight night champion. A lot of good text rolling in with their favorite video game, but he's throw a couple out for Gen X, literally baseball on the original Nintendo ice hockey on the original Nintendo where you could choose you had three different sizes of dudes you could select for your team. So you could make a team with all tiny guys and try to outspeed them or big guys and try to knock them down. There was fighting blades of steel. Great game. I used to love NHL hits and I would do a similar thing that they had like a big head virgin or like skating around with like the the bodies all tiny, but the heads are huge and the hits were just awesome. Like the guys are flying around all over the damn place. It was just a funny thing to watch. Lucie, should you have a favorite sports video game, bro? Yes, NBA live 95, I will put you to bed with Mitch Richmond. I'll put you to bed with him, boy, right in that corner. You have can't stop me first NBA live. I owned and I miss and be alive 95, 95, Steve Francis on the cover with you. Hi, bro. It's a good game. I play with the rockets a lot in live 95 because they were right in the middle of it, you know, and Otis store power for it, a chemo, as you want it center. You did not have a great chance, man. The feeling of heating up and being on fire in NBA jam. Yeah, that must be a pretty special one. Yeah, we played NBA jam when you had to have quarters. You had to go to the arcade and play that thing at the 711 down the street. Wow. Right after school. All of us couldn't get on the console yet. No, not yet. He's had to jump on the arcade. That's fantastic. You skip lunch and you beg for quarters on your way there than everybody's playing. Hey, how about the great, how about the great snowboarding game SSX? Anybody play a little SSX? I know what you're talking about. I did not play it. Oh, man. That was after the Tony Hawk and I was looking for something similar. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think I found myself in a similar position and we got it. And that was at least two or three years of having a lot of fun. They made it. I think a second one. I don't know if they made a third one. So number 10, top 10 best video games of all time, tennis NBA street volume two. That was not an I mean, I mean, they need to bring back the street games. Like, I don't know if they have, and maybe I just am unaware, but like NFL street NBA street. I thought those were all blast play MVP baseball 2005 is number nine. NCAA football 14 comes in at number eight, which I believe is the last edition until we just got our newest one. Number seven is Mike Tyson's punch out. Six, we're getting this back backyard baseball, backyard baseball played it. You didn't. It was a, it was a PC game. They did have it available for like PS two, we, we sports by the way, it was an awful match. We sports is a blast to play. The backyard baseball was awesome. Hey, the UFC games played a little bit in high school. I like that. It was kind of hot. Yeah. And they like kind of started changing up the way that you would do it. And then I couldn't keep track like UFC two had different controllers to the first one. UFC three had like, I don't want to do that. You're cool. I just like I got good with this one and now I've got to learn a different way to play it. You guys are playing the racing games like NASCAR thunder and stuff. I love the midnight club growing up. That was a fun one. Cruz in the USA. Yeah. Okay. The racing games are fun though. Okay. I'll tell you the best fighting game ever was WCW versus NWO on the old Nintendo 64 and incredible game. Just like smashing chairs on people and stuff. Yes. The first wrestling game where you could like jump over the turnbuckle out of the ring and like fight out there, throw them back in. Okay. You know, you could you could tag your partner and you know, and you know, and double double up cheat and stuff like that. It was great. Dirt to date, Tona was my favorite game as a kid dirt track racing all the way up to NASCAR. That sounds fun. All right. That sounds fun. We've got a new Mario golf game. I mean, anything Mario is really pretty kick ass. How about we like the Wii golf? Yeah. And we tennis sports, all of those are oh man, I had a blast. Just the home run derby home run derby, the home run dude, number five is NBA jam. There it is. For we've got FIFA 13 specifically FIFA 13, I will say I do remember that edition, one of the first ones that I was playing, Messi was unstoppable in it. That was a blast of the game. Number three, the best of the madness Matt and NFL 2005. With Ray Lewis on the cover. Yes. Yeah. Like Michael Vick. A lot of people played Michael Vick back then. Yes. Michael Vick was unstoppable in that game. He was absolutely brilliant. And then the fantasy drafts that you could do were like you're drafting from the entire league. Yes. That's what we would always do. It was it was the best. Incredible. Number two, NBA 2K 11 with Michael Jordan on the cover. How many covers was he on? Not many. No, he wouldn't he wouldn't do the endorsement. Okay. So I guess this one, they threw in Jordan challenges where you could literally play out MJ's career. Yeah. I remember that. That was a big deal. That sounds pretty badass. Yeah. There'd be moments that you try to recreate. But number one, best sports video game ever, according to complex sport, track and field, the old pizza hut, track and golden tea. They got some love ESPN NFL 2K 5 with T2 on the cover and actually the first sports game I ever played. They could dreamcast as a kid. Me too. And it was NFL 2K. Yes. Yes. I played that with the keyboard. You can kind of like chat with people and stuff and you were connected, but it was buffering so much in like 1998. Oh my. It was terrible. Yeah. You look back on it. You're like, gosh, I was lagging all over. But it was fun. I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. You were chatting with other people? Yeah. But you'd only have like a key chat. Oh. You wouldn't have a voice. Of education. Yeah. I would the headset and like the modern games. But yeah, a game would start and they would ask, do you have keys? They're like, yeah, do you have keys? Yeah. But they have got a lot of good feedback. Are you creepy? On this one. You got a lot of good feedback. Yeah. The Twitter's going off on this. The text have been awesome. So I'm glad you guys enjoyed that top 10 happy national video game. Go ahead and play your favorite sports game today. Yes, sir. There he goes. We'll chuck. Alrighty. Coming up next here, I believe it's a college football super segment will get you caught up on your college pigskin news and more here in the G back nation. Thank you, Lucio. So it is the G back nation here on 1053 the fan. It's coming up at five o'clock. It'll be time for an edition of the finest, but it's Thursday and at five 20. It'll be time for the Eric Kendrick show right here on your home of the Cowboys. Here's we'll check with the college football super segment. All right. So I just saw this pretty awesome North Texas obviously going into love it to take on tech this Saturday. Texas tech is doing a white out. That's what they're telling all their fans, hey, we're white. So what do North Texas do? They've decided to wear their all IC white uniforms for the game. This is either going to age very poorly for our main green or it's going to be badass because the last time I do remember they wore some all whites was when they went into fateville and upset the hogs a couple of years ago. I'm pumped for this. I think it's a great troll job for my North Texas main dream. Yeah. Yeah. They're taking a page actually out of the university of Miami's book because week one in Gainesville is the same thing Florida was like, hey, white out. This is what we're doing fans. Make it all white up in here. And then of course, Miami where they're all whites and well, they kick the Gators ass. They sure are going to change how you organize these things. Now, I don't I don't think we do white outs unless we're planning to wear white. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. We should be dictating what we want to wear for our one of our home uniforms going to be this week. We should have that jurisdiction. I thought was weird. Like I had assumed if tech was going to do the white out, they would have worn their white jerseys. Sure. So I was very surprised to see them promote the white out and then North Texas said already said like, Hey, we're wearing our all white uniforms, which look absolutely fantastic. But so for this weekend, you'd want to do something other than a white out or a green out. Yeah, you're good. You're good. Yeah. Do the, you know, the red out. But this is an interesting decision I think to make his university because there's one of two ways. Are we going to be adversarial or are we going to like, you know, high road the hell out of them and be like, we're shake your hand guy, you know, everything's high sportsmanship. You're firing a shot over the bow and, you know, it can be an intimidating one. And if it plays well for you, then you're going to look like a genius. Yeah. But if they play with their hair on fire and they're talking about you post game, this can get ugly. It could be bad. Yeah. Did you, speaking of uniforms, did you guys hear about, you know, the lions in that game the other night war there with all blue with their silver helmets? And they're saying that maybe that Stafford he threw the interception in the end zone and he didn't see the defender because the uniforms match the end zone, match the end zone and match the back wall. Yeah. Like the back wall with the blue. And so when you look from it from the end zone, I was giving Stafford a pass on that one. You look at, you look, you're thinking like, my gosh, this player did blend into the end zone and then to the back wall that they, he just threw it, but you're kind of like that. There's a uniform combination that maybe, maybe got you an interception there down on the goal line. Yeah. And if I want to, yeah, the home team does usually rep the dark colors. You know, the Cowboys are one of the heroes in the NFL. Yeah. There, there's a, there's a few that don't write LSU were where there's, we were, I'm sure we could find a handful of other college teams that do that too. The Cowboys will wear their home whites right there. I think there's one other team in the NFL, Bobby and I actually looked this up and I'm blank at a dolphin. It's the dolphins. Yeah. There's the only two in the NFL that that is their home. Jersey is the whites, otherwise most home uniforms are the dark colors. I did not know that the dolphins home, your Jersey, I always thought it was the, the aquas. Yeah. Like tonight though, where the aquas, I think they're when the aquas and throwback stop because it's a night game. They like to wear the insides are very 1970s looking with the, the diamond pattern. Yeah. The stones dolphins were in the throwbacks and I just don't know if it's the aqua or the whites, but generally the dolphins play one o'clock games in the sun. And so they want to be wearing the white, which makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Like I'm surprised the bucks. The bucks might actually do that. The bucks are a team that you see wearing white all the time as well. They'll move over later in the season. Yeah. NIU obviously got the big upset over Notre Dame. You brought up the coach and offering to trade information. Well, I did think this was also badass. NIU football has a boneyard where the Huskies stack their marquee wins over major programs. So they're adding their 19th bone after their first dub versus a top five team. So they've got, it's literally just, they got a giant bone and then the logo of the team that they've defeated. So like just a wall of bones. Yeah. Nebraska's on there. Alabama's on there. They've got K state on their Minnesota, like all the power five schools that they've beaten, but now they'll add the Notre Dame fight and Irish as team 19 and their boneyard there in L.A. Somebody does some sod that way too, yeah, like somebody does a thing. If they get an upset, they take sod out of the team stadium. They beat and then they put it to have a staff, yeah, they have a place they plant the sod. They play the salon. Yeah. Unless less. My little finds it in the head press charges. Yeah. Like he cares about that. SOD games. Let me just look it up here. So we've talked quite a bit about Dylan Ryola, who is the freshman sensation, sensation there at Nebraska, but he also school of dragons. What the hell? My homes twin, essentially. This is better than Kobe and personating Jordan. It really is. Yeah. I mean, it's just a more bloated version of my home. Yeah. I mean, Eric brings up the fat my home's thing and he is he's got a little bit of chub to him, but he's a hell of a football player and I don't care. You know, I need my quarterback having a little bit of body armor, but Pat Mahomes was asked today about the Dylan Ryola, Pat Mahomes comparisons. I mean, it's cool. Honestly. I mean, I was that guy. I grew up watching players remember being when I would grow up, I was I loved Alex Rodriguez play shortstop and we try to make plays just like him and do stuff like that and it helped me become the athlete that I am. And so I've kind of it's just telling me I'm getting a little old. I mean, that's the biggest thing is that you have these guys that are coming up and doing some of the sidearm stuff and everything like that, but I know Dylan I train with him in the all seasons. Great kid, a great football player, and I think he's going to make his own stamp on the game. I mean, I think I don't know whenever you come in as a freshman, you want to be on Twitter and be the part of the team. I think he wants it to be about his team and I think that's the right way to play the quarterback position is that it's not about you. It's about going out there and having success as a team and they've done that so far this year. So even though I think he just kind of wants to push us out and play football and go out there and win a football game, so I think that's the right way to play the position. He's a bad ass. I mean, I think Dylan is a stud and he is the next up and coming future number one overall pick in three years Florida States. The team that does the sod games have been doing since 1962 state, but I won't get any sod this year. There's over a hundred bronze plaques, commemorating sod games. And so they take a piece of the turf with a gotta be a ranked opponent or any opponent. Yeah, it's it's it's the longstanding tradition they had that again, it's it's it's when it gets the big wins. It's a big it's that's there. That's huge program wins on the road away from dough, they gotta be road games and they take the sod from that road, then you and bring it back and they have over a hundred of these. They have a they have a cemetery with the sod buried with the with the plaque from those games. So yeah, I knew somebody did that's awesome. I can't remember anything anymore, but I remember that. Yeah. I mean, so we got some texts in like it's weird and look, if he wasn't any good, he would be getting trolled and made fun of, but the bottom line is he's backed it up. And he bought him in that rule, he modders modern, he patents his game after my homes and he wears number 15 in honor of my homes. So look, and he does a super fan, you know, it's weird. I mean, he does play a lot like him and he's he's been really, really good. And now it's not aging. Well, it's the Shiloh Sanders deal with that, that audio that's now out as he goes up to their role. We're going to roll. We're going to roll. Yeah. We had shake line there for the captains meeting at the 50 yard line that did not go well. There was no rolling. There was some riling. There was some riling. So amazing that he felt that way because I didn't feel that way watching it. That's a great confidence. Yeah. Oh my God. Hey, dude. Shiloh does have the confidence though. Delusional. But you know, a little bit. Yeah. Is he out for the year? Do you break his, he broke his arm, right surgery? I'm assuming that's a year ender. I don't know. Yeah. Last I saw was he was not going to be out for the year. Okay. But I'll get for him. Yeah. Well, sure own more. He is the, he just signed a fully guaranteed deal there with Michigan. There you go. Okay. So two, three weeks. Yeah. That's good. That's a fast recovery shot. Yeah. I thought it was maybe one. Let's go. So he signed a full contract just under nine months after he accepted the job. I'm a little bit surprised that this has happened now considering what just went down against Texas and what might happen the remainder of the season, but Michigan showing their full faith in sure own more. Now later on, I think we're going to get to who might end up being the next head coach at Michigan if they want to give him a ridiculous amount of money. Do you want to do it right here? We do it right here. You want to do it right here? Scratch and snips coach. Would this be like the biggest turncoat move of all time? Don't say urban Meyer. I think he just might be. Now I will say the amount of money that he's throwing out is something that I don't think Michigan would pay, but then again, things get crazy in college football. Here is former Buckeye, Florida Gator, head coach, Urban Meyer on what it would take to go to the big house. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, good. All good. I lost it. But we did have an urban. Urban Meyer talking about possibly what he's getting at against tee up going. He's being interviewed off the set, big noon kickoff in Ann Arbor, just on Saturday with with Matt Leiner, Matt Leiner, it's the one who pulled them aside and had this little interaction. I have it. Oh, no. Well, it's, uh, the ever elusive coach, how much money do you think it'll take? Well, I don't know. I've got this restaurant. No, he's got a number of signs. The number of times. Can I kick the kickers here? Twenty five million year, twenty five million year to coach is what he said. He would accept to coach pound sand, bro. Yeah. I don't think now again, right? He's probably trying to make a ridiculous amount of money because he doesn't want to coach Michigan. At least that's what he says. Because you know, Ohio State Buckeye. And if I were a Buckeye fan, I would be absolutely livid to see urban Meyer coach. Oh, it's Utah. I found it. Bowling green. You're the best. It took a long time, bro. It's okay. This was on the fly. We weren't even planning on playing the audio. Oh, okay. How much money would it take a year for you to coach at the University of Michigan? Ten ten negotiating right now and ten mill. I offer you 10 milli. Are you taking the job? Negative. For 10 million, you're not going back. It's what they pay me for a big meal. Twenty five. Twenty five. I'm taking it. You heard that first. Coach Meyer. He's off. Twenty five mill a year. He's taking the job. Do you think Michigan fan wants to do that right now? Like right now, today, probably not, they're still on the high of winning the national championship. Let Ryan day get his first dub. Yeah. Give it the end of the season. Yeah. And if they end up having like three losses, all of a sudden it's, oh, I don't know if Sharon Moore's our guy here, urban national championship at two different programs. Yeah. Maybe I'll maybe I'd say yes. Watch out, ladies and man, Arbor. I'd pay the spy guy, twenty five million before I bring Connor's down. Did you see Connor Sean's get his butt kicked as a head coach of a high school team? I did. Yeah. 60 now, then. Oh, no. It was not good. It was rough. So I don't know that he's leading your program, but maybe they should bring him back. They need something. Thank you, wall chuck. Another college football super segment is in the books and we turn the page now to an edition of the finest Eric. What do you got? We've got some football quotables. We've got the secret sauce to the NFL's best and a good news trend for the Cowboys this weekend. That's next right here on the fan. Hey, Mike Vlinny here host a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcast claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcast that claim they had 80% of the games when really they just lose like most of us think has to tickets to 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 cash the ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. It is our for the nation. We have two hours to go a lot of football content on the way play by play football on the fan here on Saturday, Bama in Wisconsin kickoff at 11 a.m. Of course, Cowboys and Saints is slated for noon on Sunday with the pregame at nine Dean Blandino is going to be on the show. So that'll be fun. It should be Eric. You ready to tackle Dean Blandino? Yeah, I am actually I'm hoping that we can get him out there so we can do a nice little Oklahoma drill out there in the middle of Miller Light West Plaza. I look forward. He's probably pretty good, honey. I'll be the low man in that situation. I'll win. I'll wrap up. I'll go form tackling on this guy. He went for being public enemy number one to everybody kind of being a nice guy, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's good dude. Yeah. It's a good guy. He's a good person. I'm getting Eric Kendrick's here a little bit early. Our Cowboys linebacker Cowboys player show. It's exciting. We might he got out a little early so excited to talk to us. He's like, Hey guys, I'd be ready to just join you now if you guys are. So I think he's about to be ready to pop on here and I'm always ready for some Eric Kendrick's especially after a debut like that. We got to ask him if that's one of those like is that a random drug test kind of game? You know, I think it might be. Yeah. That's how dominant he was. I mean, you you go off like that. That's a pattern in the NFL. Yeah. We just want to make sure it's just a tip of the cat. All those tackles. A couple of sacks. Interception. Yeah. Guy was everywhere. Yeah. Well, we have an addition of football's finest here coming up before too long. It's a big night in the world of baseball as a Kumar Rocker is taking the hill for the Rangers. He's out there in Seattle getting take on the Mariners in his debut, not a bad lineup. But we'll have a proper round trip or go around the bases brought you by Uber Eats coming up at at six o'clock. Great opportunity. And I feel like by the time we go to bed tonight, our level of optimism about what this Rangers team might be heading for in the foreseeable future might be significantly different. What's your confidence level now that this team is going to bounce back and 2025 is going to be amazing. I think that's a legitimate question right now. And I think either answer is fine, but Kumar Rocker or I'm sorry, Kumar Rocker going out there and being electric and, you know, staking his claim as I am the guy that left Vanderbilt is one of the top pitching prospects to ever come out of the SEC. That's who I am and move over, you know, name your young star pitcher. You know, I belong comfortably in this in this group and you know, that's what we're hoping to see tonight. Pregame at eight o'clock, the first pitch about what eight thirty seven. I think is how they do that up there in Seattle. Yeah. Later start tomorrow as we stand by for our Cowboys player show, Eric Kendrick's. Okay. As he joins us now here in the G back nation brought you by Kureg and by Dr. Pepper and a good afternoon. Sir, how the heck are you? What's up, man, congrats on the first game. How did it feel out there? I felt good, you know, um, it's always like, you know, anticipation builds up for that first game of the year, but, you know, now that it's behind us, you know, we can really lock in on the rest of the season. So when this opportunity came up, given the Cowboys need and, and Mike Zimmer, was this, was this a no brainer, exciting opportunity for you to come in and, and plug this hole? Cause you looked like exactly what we've been needing, man. Man, honestly, it was one of the hard decisions I've ever made. Um, but at the end of the day, you know, I feel like I made the right decision and I'm happy. Um, now it's just a little bit of work. So let's get to it. What were those variables in your decision? Could you share that with us? I mean, yeah, it's, it's, there's so much that came into it, honestly, I'm, I'm, I'm over talking about it, but at the same time, like, um, just, just glad to be, glad to be here, glad to be, you know, had my presence felt out there. Heck yeah, man. It was, uh, it was a real joy to watch you. It was, uh, one heck of a game. I was curious after a game like that is that a NFL randomly drug testing you game, because it was a damn good performance, Eric, let's be honest about it. Yeah. Um, I got more. I got more. Now, have you ever gotten the wow, Eric, you were, excuse me, excuse me, I'm so excited to have you here. Um, have you ever had one of those performances where you were so bad ass on a football Sunday that the league was like, let's, let's, let's check this guy's pee. Oh, yeah. Right after the game, just, just in the locker room, is it just waiting for you there in your locker? Like by way of hello after the game, there's just so many different, but you know, you can get it, you know, during the week, you can get it the first, you know, the next day, you can get it after the game. There's so many different, you know, in off season doesn't, you know, they don't, they don't discriminate. They just get you and ever. Are they, what's the, can you, can you take me into that situation there or are you got eyeballs on you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I remember one, one of the, I can share a funny story. One time I was in, uh, I was in London and, um, I got drug tested in London and we were in a hotel bathroom and it was a public restroom and I'm over here facing the door, you know, and, uh, yeah, let's just say people walked in the restroom, you know, I'm just gracious that. Let me run right back out. What are we doing? You can't be Pish. I'd have planned the NFL. Got to get it. Got to get it. I don't think I could make it. Definitely a little Pish. I over here. I'm curious. You remember London and we had like the Brazil game last week. Do you like the international games? You know what? I always, I feel like the process of it is always annoying. You know, obviously we're here to play football. You know, we're, sometimes when you travel to a way game, it could be, you know, coast to coast, still a long flight, you know, um, but you know, going, going overseas, going into a different country, there's a lot more variables, a lot more, you know, your chances are you're traveling longer days, you know, you're, you're more on lockdown. It's like, yeah, you know, you have less freedom. So it's, it's more annoying. It seems a little more annoying at times, but man, when you're in, when you're in, when I'm in London, you know, when I was in London playing and you see, you know, uh, both flags hanging up from the stadium, you're kind of like, man, this is pretty cool. You know, this is, this is pretty dope. So I feel like, uh, you know, once you step on the field and you start playing, you just feel, you know, I mean, at least me, I had gratitude for it. So, you know, even though I'm a little bit annoyed at times, did you get to sample some of the cuisine in there in London? I hear that they do not do any seasoning, really. Yeah, you know, very, very, very few salt packets around and various, uh, garlic seasonings and stuff like that. It's very, very bland. You turn it up out here though. I mean, my gosh, you probably, the barbecue just off the chain, right? Yeah. You know, I think, I think Texas barbecue was completely blown my mind at this point. Um, you know, obviously I felt like I had an, I thought I knew what barbecue was, you know, I thought, you know, I thought I knew what barbecue culture was, but, um, I was, I was, uh, gladly, you know, mistaken when I got to Texas and I started eating these, uh, these, the beef ribs are my favorite. All right. Beef ribs are delicious. Yeah. What about the Tex max though? Because Dalton Schultz, who is also a fellow Cali guy, and it took some shots at our Mexican food when he was a cowboy. You see, I, how do I tip toe around this? Well, one of the big differences, like as a Cali guy, when you come here and you're creating Tex max, I mean, what are some of the things that you're like, yeah, this isn't as good. Like, why wouldn't it be as good? I feel like it's just more Americanized. So, you know, when I look for my Mexican food, I want it to be like, you know, as authentic as possible, you know, um, and I feel like, you know, with the, with the queso and everything like that, it kind of gets like, you know, you see a couple things on the menu that you're like, what? Like, and so I, you know, I respect it. I respect that they have their own version here, but, um, I'm a Cali, Cali Mexican food kind of guy. Yeah, I got to ask you a question on the off day, how do we get to check up on the cars and rebuilds and things like that? Do we order a bunch of parts? What do we do on a day off like that? You make sure that that ride's looking right? No, I'm a, I'm a, you know what, I'm lucky if I'm taking one of my cars to, to all my treatment sessions. I feel like I just fill my off days with, uh, with body work, you know, you know, physical therapy, Pilates, you know, doctor, um, you know, mental mental health, everything. I just try to cover my bases and if I could drive my car in the meantime to appointment to appointment, I'll be happy. That's good mental health right there, right? Mm hmm. Throw that top down or something like that and just that's great mental health. Oh, yeah. Therapeutic. Yeah. 32 years old there. Uh, Erica, how has that changed your process throughout the week since when you first got into the league? Um, you know, I feel like I just, for the most part, I try to stay consistent. You know, I've, I've, uh, I developed a good routine early and it's worked for me. And you know, I've stuck with it. I've definitely had to adjust here and there, you know, um, uh, you know, especially after games, you know, I have to know my body, especially, you know, what it's capable of, but, you know, I feel good. You know, I think I've received probably more backhanded compliments this week than I've ever received. And, uh, you know what, I'm looking forward to getting some more because I'm gonna keep trying to shock people moving pretty good for an old guys. I've heard it all. Hey, Eric, guys, guys, did you share your pregame meal with overshone by the chance? Because man, whatever you were eating, and he had a little of that too. You guys were out there together just, it was like, it was like watching the rock heads dancing New York City the way you guys were teaming up with everybody. Yeah. You know, um, I'm just, you know, I'm, we're going to keep doing it. You know, that's, I think that's the, that's the beauty of the NFL is you guys, we have 17 chances and, um, and it feels always humbling. So, you know, we got to bring our game and, and, uh, I mean, we're motivated too. So I'm excited to get another opportunity. So what do you think about this Saints offense? They're getting a lot of love leading into this week with all the motion that they're using. You didn't face a ton of that. It seemed like against Cleveland. So what are some of the challenges the Saints might present for you? Yeah. You know, that just, just the motions, heavy motions just makes you think a lot. You know, um, you know, obviously, uh, we can replicate it, but with the pieces they have on offense, you know, you, you, we're going to have to get some stuff in the game and, and, and, and play it out and obviously make adjustments on the sideline. Um, but yeah, you know, they, they had, they had a good, great first game, put up a lot of points. They have a lot of weapons, experienced quarterback. Um, so we're, we have a challenge ahead of us, for sure. Motion running game has been, you know, kind of a bugaboo for the Cowboys. In your experience, under Mike Zimmer, do you feel like you guys have had a pretty good handle on, uh, you know, how to make your adjustments? Yeah, I think that it's, it's, you know, it's, every team is different. You know, every, every team we've been on has been completely different, but it's, it's a want to as a desire, you know, to stop the run and, um, there's going to be some games where it's easier than other games and, and those games where it gets tough, like that's when you really have to buckle down and, and, and stick to it, you know, because, um, it's obviously a priority, so, uh, you know, I think that that with, with the motions and stuff like that, we're going to see a different, a lot of different looks, a lot of different, um, line schemes and stuff like that. So, um, the boys better bring it. What was it like playing with the new team, new teammates finally running around out there? I mean, we talked about overshone. He was incredible, but playing next to guys like Mike Parsons and whatnot, did you learn maybe just the attitude? Like, well, I didn't realize this guy was such a trash talker or whatever. Once you get in the, so you sure put a little bit out there. Yeah. I mean, you got to, you know, you got to get into the game somehow, you know, so, uh, I feel like, I feel like, uh, it's always so cool because, you know, you know, you put that, you put that jersey on, it's kind of like, you know, Clark can't, you know, putting that cape on. Mm-hmm. You don't really see it until you, you know, you need it. So it's like, um, just seeing how calm everybody was and, um, you know, um, it's just, just how everybody handled themselves. Obviously you got to have a little bit of crazy in there, um, you know, here and there. That's what makes football football, but, uh, for the most part communication and everything like that, very calm, um, sideline, uh, correcting things, very calm. And, um, you know, it's going to, it's going to definitely be, uh, you know, when we get into these, the, the, you know, these other games in the season, you know, there's going to be chances, chances where we face adversity. So it's like, when we face adversity, we have to come back to the fundamental things of staying calm, you know, talking through things, getting things done and chipping away at whatever we need to fix. So it's going to be your first home game then as a cowboy at AT&T Stadium where you've played obviously as a visitor, but does that add a little bit more of anticipation for you getting to come out and play for the home crowd for the first time? It's going to be cool. You know, um, nothing like a home game in the NFL, uh, I love, I'm a big fan of away games too. You know, I like, I like entering hostile environment, but, uh, at the same time home is home. So, uh, you know, we got to put on a show, um, I'm excited to, you know, suit up my first game, um, as a cowboy, uh, in AT&T. I thought, you know, I've obviously played there in college, played there, um, a couple of times in the pros, but this real deal now. Hey, Eric, when, uh, when Parsons tipped that ball in the air, you were coming on a blitz too. I mean, did you, did you, did you know when did you hear it or did you see it when the ball went in the air? I mean, which one did you, because you, like I say, you were rushing there and you did a great job of peeling back and getting that ball that would, how did that all kind of transpire on the interception? Yeah. So as soon as I started going and I saw the tackle squeeze down on me, I knew that Micah was free. So I knew either one, like, the sergeant was going to either like make a move and start running or he was going to throw the ball hot to somebody on that side of the field. So as, as the tackle came to block me, I kind of just started peeling off and I turned around and peeled off and I saw him tip the ball and ran to it, but I was, I was getting ready to like probably run to the ball if he threw it, you know, sure. After so many years, after a big game like that, do you watch the highlights more the next week? Um, I've stopped, you know, I feel like you, you kind of, especially with today's social media and stuff like that, people are, you know, tagging you in things, you see things. But you know, the faster you can just put that, put out the bed and get, get to work on the next week, um, the better, because, you know, it's all about consistency in the NFL. It just remembers the, your last, your last play, everyone remembers your last game. So, you know, who cares next you're the, you're the quarterback of the defense and we love that mentality. It's just like you put it behind and you're onto the next one. That's fantastic. Uh, when, you know, being the quarterback of the defense, we always talk about how wordy these play calls can be for quarterbacks, but like defensively, you're calling out these plays and everything like that. How wordy does it get defensively? Like if you dialing up like an exotic blitz on third down, what does that sound like? Um, they're not that they're not too wordy. Um, there's a, so with, with, with defense, there's a, if we have a pressure, it'll be like a pressure call and then it'll be like a coverage associated with it. And if there's a double call, it'll be like, um, they kind of try to categorize them. So it could be said quickly because, you know, offense is one thing. Everything is dictated off offense, correct? Right. But defense, you kind of have to get things going quicker. And plus we have to make a lot more adjustments based on what the offense gives us. So we have a call that may be a double call, um, let's say like cover eight or you're, you know, you're playing, um, a certain coverage over here and a certain, I don't even know if I want to give all this information. I'm kind of trying to hold my, keep my cards, but at the same time, you know, you'll have two different coverages and, um, everybody knows that kind of thing, but based on, you know, if it's three by one, two by two, you know, if there's a certain combination of players over here, we're playing things all differently. So everybody has to know the rules of engagement, but the call is quick. It's our reigning, uh, player of the game on the Dallas Cowboys radio network. Absolutely. I saw the Cowboys social media team was asking what's everybody's guilty pledge, that pleasure TV show, some people were very nervous. You blurted out like right now it's love Island because I love the Banta. I'm with you, man. I got sucked into the love Island UK as well. Hey, let's go over and let's have a chat. I don't know if it's the accents or what it does, but it's entertaining. I mean, I, I would hate on the show. My wife would put that so on and I would just hate on it. Like what are you watching? This is trash. Like what are we, what are we doing? And then I'm like, wait, what, what did that person say? Who that? What is she wearing? What? They got them doing what? They're kissing. Who? And then she's like, you might as well sit down and watch it with me. So I was always, I would always Jordan joined during, uh, what's it called the Casa? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's so more. That's what I joined right there. That's the best part. Mm hmm. So where's the best beef rib you've tried so far? You're going to put me on a spot like that. Um, I want to try it out. I have it. So himes is the first one I had. Yeah. Himes is really good. Yeah. Fire. That's just good to though. Yeah, sir. Yeah, sir. Hurtado, Pecan Lodge. Yeah. Now, do you have any, uh, desire and learning to make your own? Cause, you know, once you leave Texas, you're probably going to be, uh, up to your own devices there. If you want that flavor. Ah, you know what? I feel like, I feel like it's one of those things where you got to just come and get it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, who seems like, is there anybody that feels like they got some talent on the team that's like, Hey guys, I'm, I'm grilling out or I'm smoking some stuff. I just want y'all come over and let's enjoy something here. I just don't, I just don't see it. You know, I could see, I could see them having some good food and I feel like, you know, if you're going to come to my house, you're going to eat good. For sure. My wife is an excellent cook. I'm, I, I claim sous chef. So she does all the seasonings and everything like that, but I'm in there chopping. I'm cooking, you know, um, not really during season, but so if you're going to come to my house, you're going to eat good, but I just don't, I don't have faith in the guys on the team to just bring a, just bring a good barbecue or beef rib. I just don't see it happening. I hear you know, it's magical how they do it. These guys are just like postmates guys, you know, they're not, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're door dashing, everything nowadays. They're not even putting their, you know, they're not even putting the work in. How the knife skills then, I mean, do we own like a set of like Japanese knives? Oh, yeah. I mean, oh yeah. And then we like pull the knuckles back and all that stuff like that. So all right. I try to make my chops consistent. You know what I mean? There you go. You already know. I got, I got a set of knives for Christmas, a couple of years in a row. Yeah. So I'm loving that. Okay. You, when you're doing the onions, you, you have a method for not crying. That's the problem I have every single time. There's got to be something when you're chopping the onions, it's because you're worried about going after your fingers, when your eyes start watering up like that. You got to just take it. You know, you gotta, no, I don't have to take that business. You got to, you know, you got to stay strong. But keep a, you know, keep a low, keep a low eyelid. Yeah. Okay. You're so much better than me than this. I cry every day and time I can't help and I have to stop Eric. I couldn't help but notice the hair flowing underneath that helmet. I love the Troy Paul Amalu head and shoulders commercials. Do you have your own hair brand? I do. Do you do? I do. It's called switch lanes. You can get it at switch lanes dot us or just visit my Instagram at switch lanes. But I've created my own curl cream and I started probably like four years ago. Kind of, you know, worked on the formula, works on the bottles, the labels. I've kind of like, it's in a great place now to where I love it. And I'm, you know, starting to get, going to start to push it, but yeah, I love it. I use it. I use it to comb my hair out. I use it to put it in and use it to leave in. It's very versatile, like curl product for my active lifestyle. It's looking good, man. You're a hell of a spokesperson for it. So I can plug too. Yeah. You got you. I got you. Anytime. I got you plug anything you want. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I'm not anything. Yeah. We'll give you a careful play. Thanks for your off limits for your time. Give the Saints. Hell will be pulling for you. Let's go right on dude. There he goes. Eric Kendrick's Cowboys player show every Thursday, usually starting at 520, but he got out of the meetings a little early today. So we jumped on and salute to him for that. That means in addition to the finest coming up next chief, what do you have in store? Yeah, we got a lot of good stuff for you, including a good news trend. And for the Cowboys this weekend next year in the nation, welcome back. It is the G back nation on 105 three, the fan, and it is time now to hit the express way. We're going commercial free to the top LA live with Lucius coming up at 540 segments brought to you by soda that state of the arts brought you by cars for kids donate today cars for kids.org and the expressway presented by the on time experts now. We just had Eric Kendrick's on. So it's time for Eric Chia follows edition of football's finest. Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Eric's now two for two on the player interviews. I'm so thankful that we get them all season long. He's fantastic. Great personality. And I actually have some some nuggets on the Zimmer defense for this this past game versus the Browns as we start to try and figure out what this iteration of the Zimmer defense is going to look like obviously small sample size versus one team here, but match quarters has all of the data and they inform us that Dallas was in zone coverage for 77% of the snaps over the weekend. We know that a guy like Dan Quinn last year, I mean, he played the most man coverage of any team in the sport. So that's an immediate difference right there when he played zone, it was mostly cover three as well. And he played all that man last year without even Trayvon digs being on the field. It wasn't like, hey, I got digs and bland two lockdown dudes. It's just play man because that's our personnel. It's just like, that's what Dan Quinn wanted to do. But with Zimmer on Sunday, 77% of the defensive snaps were in zone. Lots of cover two, four and six, a little bit of cover three as well. No snaps, zero snaps of dime personnel lived in base defense and in nickel. That's a little bit more of the standard. We know Zimmer's been much more of a base defense guy over the course of his career. So we anticipated that last year with Dan Quinn and the Cowboys, no linebackers. He basically lived in dime. So you have a bunch of DBs on the field, even, you know, disguised as linebackers, but not in the Zimmer scheme, at least for the first game, just base and nickel. They blitzed 25% that's below league average, but they still pressured the heck out of the quarterback. And I saw, I think pro football, pro football focus had all of the sacks for the Cowboys over the weekend being all onto Sean Watson and not on the offensive line. We know sacks have become more of a quarterback stat. The offensive line plays a quite a large factor as well. And some are more obviously on the quarterback or the offensive line, but in general, sacks are now considered to be more of a quarterback stat. And for all the sacks that the Cowboys had over the weekend in Cleveland, they were placing that those, those sack blame on quarterback to Sean Watson, but you only blitzed 25% of the time and you pressure 45%, which would be like leading the league in pressure ready for doing that. Shout out to you. I was like, March on. Nealon with like six pressures is a rookie. Yeah. Your front four was getting after it. No doubt, dude. I mean, and that's why when Brodha said like who are you giving the like, which, which unit on the defense or position group on the defense was most impressive. I just, I think it all started with the, with the guys on that defensive line, whether it be Demarcus Lawrence looking like it was a turn back the clock game a little bit, dude. And then the interior guys playing a little bit better, but yeah, a guy like Nealon, that was outstanding. They ran a higher percentage of defensive line stunts more than anyone in the league in week one. So you know, having guys switch roles and things like that at the snap, that was pretty awesome. So there's just a couple of nuggets on what it was that Zimmer was bringing to the table there defensively for week one. I also have a nice little trend here as we look to week two and trying to advance to two and O versus the saints under Dennis Allen, the saints are for 10 and one against the spread after a win. So that's an under 30% cover percentage. That's the worst mark in the NFL since the start of the 2022 season. So and Cowboys are favored by six and a half. So after a win, the saints have not been quite the same team over the course of the Dennis Allen era, you could say. So just a nice little something there. Maybe maybe the Cowboys aren't able to cover, but hopefully they're still able to ever. I mean, obviously look playoff game aside, they were so damn good at home last year. So I'm expecting a cover here. Yeah. I think I am. I think I am as well. Yeah. I mean, I just, I'm just not a believer in the saints team. Clint Kubiak, maybe he saves Dennis Allen. Maybe he is the offensive coordinator like we talked about a zim saving McCarthy. Maybe this was the perfect hire. He got this thing right. But Dennis Allen's history is a head coach has been very, very mediocre. Yeah. I think the, the saints have been on a nice regular season run. They finished last year winning four or five then to come out and smack Carolina like they did. But ultimately, that's a Cowboys like regular season run against bad competition, you know, but I do believe with Camara and Carr and Olave and some of their young defensive players. This isn't a bad Saints team. No, this is a one you should be overlooking, you know, and I touched down to a big number. It's a big number. I think we can do it speaking of numbers, maybe not a big number, but it's actually the smallest number. Number zero. We know that Demarvey and Overshine once that number agent zero is his Twitter name. He was number zero in college. But for some reason, he's not number zero with the Cowboys. Apparently that's being blamed on rowdy the mascot. He wears the double zero Jersey, but I guess the, the Joneses were not wanting to give up the number zero because rowdy the mascot wears the double zero already. So now people are all upset at rowdy and Demarvey on Overshine has had to take to Twitter to say, Hey, leave my man rowdy alone. So he says, take it easy on my boy rowdy because people are now upset that Demarvey and Overshone who's a superstar in the making isn't allowed to wear the, the number that he wants. How much better could he be if he was looking as good as possible as he could and feeling as good as the real reason why man? I feel like in 13, he looks pretty solid. 13's a good number four. I mean, he is like, it just, it looks right for him, but no organization should favor the mascot's double zero over a player request to wear a number zero. I mean, making CD lamb be an 88 wasn't that bad and egregious of a mistake, even though it might have got a little uncomfortable. This one's just weird, you know, yeah. How is the mascot pulling rank over one of the fastest rising star linebackers in the house? Not there's, I think there's another player that has, as I said, on number zero at some point in the future. Yeah, I know Bobby was hinting at that this morning and he refused to say that player's name on the air, but wall Chuck's got bigger balls than Bobby. So go ahead, wall Chuck. Let us know. I mean, who would be the player that would have that type of sway as a defensive player? Parsum. Micah Parsons. I didn't say that. Okay. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. All right. I'm going Smith talking about Andy Reid's love of cheeseburgers. This could be the secret sauce to the, the chief success over the last handful of years because we know he loves the cheeseburgers. Here's Alex Smith, who's been obviously a member of the chiefs in years past. He was on the Pat McAfee show and listened to this is true love and dedication for the cheeseburger. His final words, every single team meeting, the night, you know, the night for the game. You've done your positional meetings, you did your special teams, your unit meetings, and then you come together as a team. Final words for the team every single night before a game is going to treat you guys. Do a cheeseburger. And then you break for team snack and there's cheeseburgers. You break for team snack and sounds hilarious. What a Saturday night cheeseburger. Saturday night cheeseburgers. I mean, who's not looking forward to that all the time and it also explains a little bit of the, the pear shapeness to a guy like Pat, my home. He's like, dude, I'm getting cheeseburgers by my coach every single Saturday night. And then obviously the affinity for all those ice, those mini ice creams in the course light. Yeah. You know, which he drinks to hydrate during practice. I miss cooking for Andy. Andy was like the nicest guy. I mean, we, I like cooking for you guys on Fridays, but that's a blast. Andy, Andy on Saturday is like, he would, like we would do red beans and rice and we had a, we had a, I was superstitious. So we'd cook and Andy would eat a bowl and he'd like circle back, circle back around a third time and I got to love his cheeseburgers too. Hey, but he was, he was fun to cook for. He really, really well. So do, do players not, not care about the horrible health food decision that came out the day before? Not at all. No. They doesn't, doesn't bother them at all. No. You just heard what Kendrick was talking about. I know Tom Brady would turn it down. Yeah. That's the go. Yeah. You know, I think you got to look at yourself in the mirror. If you're Alex Smith and say, could I have a better career with a brown rice? And salmon. You know? No, I couldn't. Saturday night stuff our face for multiple cheeseburgers, like enchiladas and all that. It's probably the best thing for a game. I mean, the beef inside the bread, that's a health food right there. So maybe some of these guys are avoiding the bread, but at that time, you know, you're carb loading for tomorrow's action. How many dudes are, you know, shoving pasta in their face? That's pasta and chicken and all. Yeah. But I love it, man. I love the commitment from Andy Reid. That's just, he doesn't talk the cheeseburger talk. He walks that cheeseburger walk and we all got respect for that. Yeah. Now, we also have respect for football guys like Jim Harbaugh and we have the Jim Harbaugh football quote of the day brought to you by Jim Harbaugh. Did you see him like his quarterback was trying to hug him before the game, you know, and then Harbaugh started banging on it. Yeah. He's like hitting his pads. Is that the guy? All over. He wanted me alone. But to feel like some contact on every part of his body before kickoff started, and Herbert had no clue what was going on. Had no clue what was happening to him at that time. It's got some unconventional techniques that Harbaugh might be the biggest weirdo in coaching now that leeches out. Hmm. I think you might be right, dude. I mean, he's doing heavy back squats in cat free game. He's got the cleats on on the field. You've noticed that he was quick. He's got the gloves and the cleats. He warms up with his just football through and through. Yeah. Did you see that bird impression that he did at Michigan like five years ago though? No. The viral video of him just like squatting on a training table like with his arms out like they were wings. He was a pecan. And he was like more like a pelican. Wow. Like a T-Rex, you know, like short arms, big head. I would throw a McDaniel in the mix though as well, at least like sound bites. Dude, the picture or the video of him showing up today at dolphin's headquarters and getting out. I mean, he is so chicken legged. Yeah. He's in like these cedar springs and oak lawn like capris. Yeah. He's like no shame. He's Bentley. Yeah. Shoes. Gotta love it. Man, I saw some dolphin fan is standing with the sign like where the dolphins players drive up. Like where Tyree keel got a recipe that says dolphins players, please slow down and as they drive by, he's like, you slow down. He's trying to help him out over there. I like that dude. Good bit. Jim Harbaugh quarter of the day. I love guys that like football and guys that like football like me back as a great quote from our guy. And then in the hodgepodge, I got a couple of fun football clips will dial up looking forward to it. It is the G bag nation here. We're mid expressway and it's time now for L.A. live where we go into the pick up. Here's Lucius. All right. Tell me, bro, you say the juggling knives or something back. Yeah, Jesus.

It's a Georgian native, Ashley Lamoth, I believe it is, started working at Chick-fil-A at the age of 15 years old. By 26, she became the youngest franchise owner in the company's history. It's quite an accomplishment for her. Yeah, now 26 years old, starting to 15. That's incredible. That's what's all about. I love it. It's the fries. Yeah. Yeah. She went to Spelman College, shout out to the HBCU's out there. My sister went to the HBCU. She went to Howard University and you can't tell her nothing. She calls us up. Mama Warbucks.

For me, like bedroom jokes around family members, it's like seeing a nude scene in a movie. You know, you're like, "When you're around family, it's way different." I'm not here, but I'll help you, Sam, bro. All right, L-A, live, 4-0-5 through the fan on the ladies' night. Oh! For the ladies! Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING] See what else I got for the ladies in here. All of this happened because I got laid. Yeah! What a night. Yeah, man. I didn't want more. Give it a whack for the ladies. [LAUGHTER] I didn't want more. [LAUGHTER] I didn't want more. [LAUGHTER] Give it a whack for the ladies. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, let's do one more. If you're a host, stand up. Laura, stand up. [LAUGHTER] For the ladies, Shannon Sharp. The great Uncle Shannon Sharp was offered a porn deal, you know how they always do. Anytime a celebrity gets caught up in something salacious, that's sexual, here comes the porn car. Oh, this is a cam soda. Oh. That was cam soda. Yeah. I love all of that. Fiving entertainment cam so well, yeah. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, Shannon Sharp was offered a porn deal after his accidental Instagram live streaming session. Accidental. I think so. I would say yes. Yeah, yeah. I think it was probably accidental, yeah. I think so. But I think he's handled it remarkably. I mean, it's what I mean. It's not looking bad. Oh, this is, this is, this is, this is ultimately, this is great for him. You couldn't see anything, right? It was good. You couldn't see anything. Maybe the breathing, just an audio sex tape. Yeah, yeah. The way he's talking to her, he talked all the way through it. Yeah. Well, right now, look, look, look, look down now. Yeah, yeah. Watch out now. You better prepare for this, Phil. [LAUGHTER] Here come Uncle Shannon now. The dog content from behind me. [LAUGHTER] Michelle. Nah, my fail. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, ladies. I'm a fail. My guy now, I'm a fail. It's momma fail. He said, my momma fail. I'm a fail. Yes. You're so good at that. And Michelle Tofoya, I believe. No. Oh. [LAUGHTER] Uh, Shannon Sharp streamed himself linking up on Instagram on Wednesday before explaining what happened, said it happened by accident. Let's just Uncle Shannon for a second. I did not know IG Live-- I've never been on IG Live. I've never turned IG Live on. So I don't know how it works. And so all of a sudden, my other phone is going off and people are calling me FaceTime that I've never talked to a day of my life on FaceTime. And it didn't-- I'm like, why are y'all calling me FaceTime? And after a while, Jamie, I mean, he says, Shannon, you on IG Live, I'm like, doing what? I'm like, what am I on IG Live for? I ain't hitting no IG Live, but he says they can hear. I'm like, so now, Ocho, you know, I say, ask for patience. He said they can hear, and now I'm starting to get agitated again, because you called me and said, I'm on IG Live, but I know I didn't click myself on IG Live. And he said, they can hear me. I said, hear me doing what? I said, it sounds like you were having sex, man. My heart's staying. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, bro. I don't think he did that on purpose. I mean, I feel like we've all kind of been there where we accidentally posted something by mistake. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Sometimes went to my Instagram stories before, and you don't realize till the morning and you wake up and you just look down at your phone, you still got your covers over here and you never think it's a Saturday morning, you're looking and you're like, oh, oh, oh, no, no, accident, delete, delete, like everything around you becomes out of focus. It's just you and focus like, oh, yeah, done that before. A site called the porn dude has offered Shannon 100 K. Okay, that's light work. Shoot, that's one gold medal is worth for him. He probably had to re up. Yeah. That was an expensive Olympics for those guys. He's got that podcast money coming in. You're going to have to throw like probably eight figures his way. You're going to have to, you know, because he just went viral with, what was it? Who's that? One of the Wayne's brothers. Marlon. Marlon. Look up, Marlon. Why is it? Marlon's always first. He comes to mind. Marlon. Look up, Marlon. Uh, after initially claiming that he had been hacked, Shannon Sharp revealed that actually happened. I haven't had that bad yet. We got it. Six, six thousand, five hundred people were watching up smacking up at one point in the time. Yeah. Or listening more than anything. I might be emojis. They were leaving. It was like hearts. Yeah. Everyone saw some laughs, but who's leaving those hearts during uncle's situation. Uh, this is the Ocho Cinco talk about it. I was upset, but then I also remembered that you're not very good. You're not very technically savvy with phones and computer equipment, all that stuff. Yeah. That's a little grace, but I was still a little upset. I was a little hurt, but the fact that it was a Michelle and not a Michael, that's my goal. It's never been, it's never been a Michael, the rumors out here, Michelle, and that's the, that's the conspiracy theories with the rumors. It's like, this is him proving once and for all, Michelle, not Mike. I'm not zesty. Yeah. Well, good for on, he killed all the rumors right there and it wasn't a young girl. It was an older girl. And he always talks about the older women. Oh, now he did say this is about what up minute. So as all he got for you, that was a long stream in the minute, bro. You know, you get to do a time warp situation. I think there's some times, yeah, you can, you don't like time doesn't exist. Yeah. I was not 30 seconds like it wasn't time is relative sugar. The, the sentence or headline of the day, though, reads, Shannon Sharp is not expected to face any discipline from ESPN after accidentally having sex on Instagram live. Yeah, I just, I don't know how that could be that's just a remarkable sentence. I was not anticipating, thankfully, I can't get fired for honest mistakes. That's, that must be, you know, comforting for Shannon. That means the, uh, he's been executives have to listen to the whole audio. He'll try to sit around for a meeting. What do you think suspension? Do we fire him? Fire? Just let this one go. You're kidding? Why are we firing him? I had to listen to the commentary. Who the hell's Michelle? Watch out now. Here you go. Come on. That one of ours. Don't move around. Now. Hey. All right. Pete's in a great. Thank you. Emily. Yeah. Maise. You don't think the girl Michelle had any interest in maybe turning that live on and I don't get nothing going. Oh, yeah. You think she to run away all the other suitors? You just, I don't know. I don't know. Women are smart men. They leave like, um, you know, hair ties at your house. Mm. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they do awesome things. Like to make sure this. They let the other girls know that I was here and there's a earring under your pillow all of a sudden. We do weird things and leave hairs on you. Oh, make sure you have nice long blonde hairs. When your girls are brunette. You know, that's have a vibes. What do you like data CSI check or something like that? CSI check. Yeah. What? All CSI chicks. They're all CSI chicks. Yeah. I could be leaving on a Saturday afternoon just right around with my friends and everything. All of a sudden my phone is saying, oh, you're looking for a location. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to find out where I am before location is here. Yeah. Yeah. We're playing a little game. I see. Okay, where are you? Yeah. I'll see what you're doing, girl. Oh, five, three to fan. Keep it on the same conversation. There's a lonely dolphin blame for attacks on beachgoers in Japan. Dolphin's attacking lonely dolphin has been blamed for a spike in attacks on beachgoers in Japan with experts warning the animal could be lashing out due to its sexual frustration. Oh, no, eligible dolphins in the area. Oh, look like he's been kicked out of the pack. He's a solo well, they don't have professional ladies at the night in the dolphin world. Let's go get that thing handled for yourself with those kind of manners. I could understand kicking him out of the pod though. Yeah. Hey, those those dolphins. They are kind of a salty, sandy, yeah, they're a salty. More than 45 people have been injured in dolphin attacks. More than sharks like sexual assault after yes, yes, it is. Yes. 200. Yeah. Yeah. So apparently this dolphin is like, don't rub his feet against you while you're swimming. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay. I guess I'm pulling for the bills tonight. I think they've had this problem in the swim along with the dolphins thing. Yeah. You know, like some of these places you go and they have the dolphins in the pool a little bit more than you bargain for and like, Oh, wait, I'm filming the, what's the dolphin doing? Oh, my God. Yeah, exactly. That's me, man. Gold retriever puppy. In the water. Yeah. I did that experience in, in Hawaii, by the way, it was fun. Wait, was the whole thing to be clear? Yeah. You lay down in the water and then you can grab their dorsal fin. Yeah, you're faced down to water. You were. Put your feet out. That was it. So you're going to pull the shorts down now and put their, they put their nose right in the middle of your foot and then they just, they send you through the water like you're Superman. Pretty bad. They start swimming super fast when they're, when they're done with you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get out of there. That's pretty bad. That's their Uber. Uh, dolphins can unintentionally harm humans when acting out. Yeah. Made in behavior. I believe it. Due to their extraordinary strength. Yeah. Yeah. I was just trying to hit on you. He's just too strong. He doesn't mean it. You know what I mean? Flipper. I'll leave it at that. Going on to more animal situations here on a firsty Thursday, ladies night. Yeah. There's a female jogger. She was left bloodied, dazed and crying after being mauled by a pack of otters. Oh, dude. Well, just sent me this as like a, like a big sell nominee for the week. There's no question this lady's in the running. The picture's terrible. The picture is off. She's sitting in the pool of her own blood and there's like gashes and everything in the leg. Oh, excuse me. Sorry. It was like a gang, dude, you know, like it was, they were working like like wolves in a pack. Yeah. This lady probably didn't stand a chance. She was jogging and she can't run away from the otters. Yeah, they apparently they just surrounded it. Eight otters. They're smart and a bit more ornery than I was ever giving them credit for. That's crazy. Or as an article called some water weasels. Why? Why? They do the music. But this was on land attack, dude. Yeah, man. I kind of feel like I could kick an otter and run. Just felt a little personal. I'm going to be honest. You scared the goose. Okay. I was scared of the goose. I'll be talking big about the otters. I can maybe kick the otter, right? You can't get one, but there's eight of them. And you know, these otters are like related to badgers. What do they like? Really? Did they trip her? How did they get her? How did they knock her down? Oh, man. They made me do so cute. Look how puppy she thought they were. Oh, she's been it over a pet? I don't know. I'm just saying. I don't know how you get caught up on the otters. So there's like she's petting one and the other seven attacks. Look at this video, Brian. They're running in packs. Yeah. That's eight otters right there. Okay. Little colossal raptors. And they got good teeth. You know? You have some teeth on them. She was trying to fight them off with her arms. As you can see right here, they were biting the hell out of her arms. Yeah. By the hell out of her leg. I don't know how they turned so aggressive. I kind of feel like I could kick an otter. I feel like I could. I see the video of otter choking out a raccoon. What? I'm talking about choking him out. He was just like leaning that weight on. He's like leaning that weight on his butt. That raccoon was just giving up. Otter was like, no, my brother. I'm like, I need you today. I got to have this. I'm reading about in 2021, a Singapore resident was hospitalized after getting accosted by a gang of the ferocious water frolickers that are these otters. I believe in 26 times in 10 seconds. The guy says he actually thought he was going to die and thought that they were going to kill him. So I guess this is not this is not the first of its kind. I just I wasn't aware of the violence that these things were bringing. Okay, at 2023 in Montana, a rare otter attack left three women injured. Wow. Okay. So if you respect for the otter, I think I could. Yeah, I know wildlife officials saying if you are attacked by an otter, you have to fight back. Yeah. They think they think your food until you start whipping. Yeah. Badger, bro. Damn tear him up. Badgers a different story that in the Mongoose. I think that would be a little more difficult. It's basically a mongoose. Yeah, the mongoose. Basically snakes. Yeah. Yeah. You got to watch that thing of the otter and the raccoon. Yeah. Just Google that. That man had choking them out. Otter was like, no, I got to have you today, bro. I think this is like the honey badger. I think no other decisions. I think animals are just going nuts. No. They're there. Yeah, crazy. Before we get out of here. LA live 105 through the fan on a ladies night. Hey, Frankie talks to him, Frankie. UFC athletics. They're they're partnering with cookies. Cookies cannabis company. Okay. That's a good product. Shout out to burner. So I'm told. Yeah. UFC's doing this. Girl Scout cookies. Yeah. They're partnered for CBD. Oh, so. Cookies are going to supply the Trojans. Looks like it's going to be the men's and women's basketball teams, football teams. Okay. With CBD products, man, that's awesome. I'm telling you what, man. They play in the Big Ten now. That is a lot of long flights. You're going to need it. You're going to need it, man. They're going to be times. They're probably handing them out at the door. Like everybody goes to sleep. Here we go. Yeah. That's beautiful. You sure will. Don't mix them up, though. I don't want to get Dion waiters on that flight. That's pretty true. Get bit by the annoyed. Yeah. That'll be a freak out. That'll be an otter situation on the flight. Hey, I got a joke for you before we leave. Check this out. My ex-wife got dressed as a show. She's not dead. I just wish God would rest their show. It's really fast. We just argue about the dumbest ****. I said to Wendy, what would you do if I won the lottery? She said, I'd take half and I'd leave you. I said, I won 12 dollars. Here's six. Stay in touch. Bravo. All right, I'll be here tomorrow. Lord willing in the creek. Don't rise. My name is Lucius Alexander and that's my time. Thank you, Lucius. L.A. live every night. 540 here in the Jeep Bag Nation. A little round trip are coming up next. Brought to us by Uber Eats. We'll check what's in store. How pumped are you for the rocker debut? Otani continues to chase history. And what did Blake still do? The night of his no-no. That's neck. Hey, Mike Vlinny here. Hosted a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcast claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they say no? Podcast claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement. Are you tired of podcast that claim they hit 80% of the games? When really, they just lose like most of us. Think cash 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. Follow and listen to Cash the Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever. You get your podcasts. Synnation. Here we go. The five G bag nation on 105, three, the fans, sandes in the house. He's getting set for the Rangers pregame, which is coming up here in just a couple of hours. You'll get an abbreviated get right coming up at seven time now to go around the bases brought you by Uber Eats. Here's we'll check. It is the debut of Kamala rocker. It is happening tonight in Seattle against the M's and we're pumped about it. He's rocking at number 80. Now Jared Sandler is in the building. And I did see a tweet from Jared that he is the first player in Rangers history to wear number 80. And he's the first player since what 2019, a Minnesota twin Ryan Eans? No, so there wasn't a player who had worn 80 in Major League Baseball until 2019. They've been a handful of guys since the Rangers have had coaches who have worn 80. They've had guys in spring training wearing 80, but known as ever as a player, Warren 80 in a major league game. I love it. I think the 80s going to look great on him. I'm really, really excited for this tonight and score. Gummy. Do you think so? No, I mean, this is for the 80s. We don't. I don't think we track score a gummy with baseball, but there's got to be some scores that have never happened before in baseball. We should do some score. A gummy in MLB. Let me see. Good idea. I don't know. Like what should we send? You think like is a realistic case tonight, like five and a half, seven and a half. Like I think he can get a case tonight. That's taking me over. Come on rocket. You know, should we make bets? We play show bets on this? Let's just do this. Nitro gummy tomorrow. About this time tomorrow. I might be. It could just be like whoever gets the closest baseball guy the day. We don't have to do. Okay. Strikeouts. Yeah. Yeah. Over under on the punch outs. What's the line? I mean, I don't know. We all just just give it up. What do you think is like a fair with like five and a half? I think you got a plan on him going no more than five innings. Okay. So you got to factor that in. I'm trying to see what Vegas has the line as. I'll let you know. But I would say I'm going to go four. I would say five and a half is probably a good line. Okay. You'd throws heat and I mean, I'm going over five and a half. I think he's going to. And this is a lineup that you can go ahead and strike out. I mean, this isn't a Mariners lineup that's really been amazing. I'm going to go to the end during this one just because we're at five innings. Okay. Gavin over under five and a half over over brisket sandwich bet. Let's go. Perfect. Yep. Brian, you're buying us all brisket sandwiches when he gets six Ks or more tomorrow. I'm excited for this. This is going to be awesome. You have to go in there. It can do. That's like a couple hundred dollar deal. Well, don't worry. Carter Lee, most of them. It's not a big deal. I'm trying to see where I saw this earlier. I can't find it anymore, but it was a good call by world Chuck there. I believe this is the, I believe Camar Rocker now makes this, maybe it was Dave Raymond who tweeted it out. Dave. Yeah. Our guy Dave Raymond talking about Kumar Rocker being the three hundred and sixteenth starting picture in Ranger history, which is the most in the MLB since they arrived in Arlington in 1972. Making the 317th pick starting picture, like the Washington of quarterbacks or Cleveland Cleveland. Yeah. Cleveland something like that. The line in Vegas is four and a half, but it's four and a half at minus two hundred. That's a ton of juice. It kind of suggests they don't feel great about five and a half, but you know, so you're, you're probably looking at four and a half, five and a half is like a steady line. So then that's fair and I think these bets play there. They're live. They're active. We're getting active. We're getting active today. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's, I'm ready. 8, 7, 7, 8, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3, going over under five and a half days for Omar Rocker. Let me make sure the bet. So the loser, what, how does this work? How does the brisket sandwich looser buys a brisket sandwiches? Okay. So I, and I, the only one who went under, you're really the only one that went under. I want to hate her. So it, but if it goes under, I'm, you guys are buying me brisket sandwiches. Yeah. You're getting a lot of brisket sandwiches if it goes under. Okay. Yep. You're doing a lot. We got, we got the show. Hey, Otani chase for history. This is actually really fun. He's going for 50 and 50. He hit his 47th home where he sold his 48th base last night as the Dodgers were able to beat the cubbies. He's got 16 games left to get to 50 50. I think he's getting it and I can't wait. This is pretty unprecedented. I think it's amazing. 48 stolen bases are by far the most vote on his career. He had never stolen more than 26 bases in a season prior to I think a lot of that has to do with obviously splitting time and pitching as well. Probably I would assume. Maybe so. I mean, to the new team, probably more aggressive. Yeah. Yeah. That could play a part. I was cheering about that. Remember I asked that question. I'm like, hi, is this so impressive? And you're like, dude, he's fast. And then I, and then I started watching him and I'm like, oh, yeah, if he gets back into like the starting notate rotation next year, do we think like we don't see these numbers again? Change the dynamic. You guys, as they get older, stop running. I know this is going to be a tough thing to process because I know the knock is that well, baseball players stand around a lot. They're not, they're not, you know, the conditioning, the cardio isn't like hockey or basketball or football, but they'll all tell you that, you know, the more you try to steal bases, the more taxing it is on your body. And while they're not doing sprints for 48 minutes or whatever, standing around for two and a half hours and all the work that they do every single day, right? They don't have off days as much as other sports it, it wears. And so like even Marcus Simeon, for instance, you know, look at his stolen base attempts this year, like seven or eight attempts. And so as guys get older, they stop running as much. And I'd imagine when O'Tani gets back into pitching, he won't run nearly this much. Got a good text from Tovosh. Uh, actually he's, he's going over seven innings pitch tonight for Kamala rocker. But yeah, that's not going to happen. I'll tell you that 469 says number 80. I can only think of Tony Hill, who's the best 80 of all time? Like Martell has been it also, or, or 80 Jerry Rice, Jerry Rice, probably the best 80 of all time. Yeah. But I give him vote for when for bed. Alvin Harper. Oh, Alvin Harper was my guy, bro. Good pull. Yeah. Jerry Rice probably is the goat of the eighties. It probably is. Give me Andre Johnson. I mean, when Jerry Rice left the Niners, a lot of people said he was the greatest football player ever. I think a lot of people still say that. Do you guys feel that way? No. Jerry Rice. Are you saying that? Did you say no? That's football player ever. Jerry Rice. I'd probably, I'd probably say no as well. Gavin. I just have a hard time. I think quarterback's the most difficult thing to do by far. So whoever the top quarterback is would be my top player brought us who I dare you. Darren Woodson. Right. Darren Woodson's my favorite, uh, me, me and Tom Brady. I mean, I just think about him and the salary cap era and what he was able to do. And for as long as he did, I would Barry Sanders was one of the best players I've ever seen in my life. And so was Luke Keekley, by the way, it is Jerry like unquestionably the best receiver. Can we have a conversation about that? So I was going to ask like, okay, is he one of the only positions where there's no conversation of who's the best? Because I think there isn't. I think he is definitely the best receiver to for me is Randy Moss. I have it the same. Randy and Jerry. I think you could definitely say most accomplished receiver statistically, the top, um, there's a debate to be had. It was so good. I mean, he was not super fast. He played in the perfect system to get him the ball on the run in space, you know, with multiple teams. Like, I remember with the Seattle Seahawks, the end of his career, and he's still out there. Oh, he's over a hundred yards. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. I mean, he was playing at a really impressive rate, even while late 30s, yeah, extremely there was a rate of years were fantastic against the Cowboys were like Julius Jones went off and they won. And here's freaking like 43 year old Jerry Rice still with 10 catches a hundred yards. It was insane. I'm like with the braids. Jerry, with the braids. He's still doing this. This is bizarre. What are you doing right now? This is insane. Yeah. At 40 years old, he had 1,200 yards in a four braid zone. Yeah. Seven touchdowns. He at 39, he had almost 1,200 yards and nine touchdowns. I mean, it's just ridiculous. He had, I mean, 1,500, 1,300, 1,300, 1,200, 1,200, 1,200, 1,500, 1,200, 1,800, 1,200. That's all in a row. That's incredible. I didn't know his nickname was flash 80. I didn't know that either. He's not thinking about him as like a flash guy, you know, like kind of cerebral just technician. I'm Mario Cooper in a way, you know, but not like, Oh my gosh, speed demon, like I think about Randy Moss. Like dude, this dude's taking the top off the defense, you know, he's he's a straight line speed dude. Who do you think has the most receptions all time in playoffs? Travis Kelsey. Yeah. Travis Kelsey. Okay. Yeah. You guys knew that good for you guys. Thank you. 165 receptions and playoff games. Jerry Rice had 151. It's amazing. Julian Edelman had 118 by the way, best year's receiver of all time. He certainly is. He might be the best Jewish football player. Sid Luckman. Thanks. I didn't get to see Sid play. Sid Gilman. Sid Luckman. I think, yeah. Shout out to you, Edelman. We love you. When championships Blake Snell has a no hitter with the Giants Logan Webb goes on talking baseball with Chris Rose and they're asking, okay, like, what did you guys do to celebrate that night? Oh, here was Logan Webb's response. We hung out at the hotel. I think we had a day game the next day. So we, I think one of us had a kind of like a suite to hang out in. We hung out and played the name hanging. I think he was playing 2K or something. So let me get this straight. He throws a no hitter after he had never seen the ninth inning before in his career. You all are celebrating and he's playing video games? Yeah. That's just, that's Blake. He beats his own drum. He likes getting on there and talking to the kids that he beats in 2K and MLB the show. That's just him. I mean, it's not like it was the whole team hanging out in the room. There was like six or seven of us. It wasn't 25 guys hanging out. Yeah. I mean, I don't, nobody cared if he wasn't there or not. That would have been a lot of you guys just hanging out. He is obsessed with those video games. You know, he, he won that baseball video game tournament. They had during COVID. Oh my gosh. You're right. I thought Gallo was in that one. I think Joey Gallo was really good. Gallo beat him in the first game, but, but, but Snell obsessed with it came back in the final. But I love that. Like Blake Snell fresh off a no hitters just in his hotel room playing 2K and just, and that thing, little kids. Yeah. In their ass. Yeah. What the hell is going on? But that's awesome. We had Francisco Lindor, my gosh. I mean, one of the best turnarounds in MLB, like Francisco Lindor, kind of faded off a little bit. All of a sudden now he's back in the MVP conversation. Show you a ton. He's going to get that. Lindor's not going to get that, but it's amazing. The Mets now are back in the wild card. You can make, there's a good argument to be made for Lindor. If you really lean into what the Mets would be without him, okay, but yeah, I, he's not going to get it. But he is, I think, back on a Hall of Fame type track right this year, he leaves Cleveland and it's like, oh my gosh, this dude's the next best shortstop in the game. He's incredible. And then things didn't really seem to be panning out for him, and it was okay as this guy kind of lost a little bit. Now he's back. He ends up getting the home run to ruin the no-no from Francis last night in the Blue Jays. Mets get the win. But it's incredible. I know Baski was talking about it was his son's favorite player, Francisco Lindor. Now he's looking back up and thinking, damn, this dude is quite the badass again, but the Blue Jays have had a bunch of no hitters broken up in the ninth. I did not know the history of this. It is pretty substantial. Well, Francis is second one this year, right? Second one. Yeah. Yeah. Second one. August 24th was the last one. Now we're in September 12th. I mean, this is two in the span of what? Three weeks? That good math. You're doing the math. Yeah. I'm trying. I mean, I've always got to ask for the ADK. I need to ask for the ADK. Is the batting average matter here in this? And that's 268? I mean, no, not as much. And then you look at just all the, he scored 102 runs. He's got 85 RBIs that these things are up to date. But then elite defense. That's the thing that works. You know, it's playing in position. That's your one for thinks Michelle is the best receiver of all time. Wow. Might be the text of the day. I'm a field right there. I'm going to get rid of the field. That is pretty damn good. James Paxton sets for a tire after the 2024 season. He's calling it quits after 11 year career. Big maple. God knew it was something like that. I knew it was something like Andrew Chavin's thing. I knew it was something like maple hickory. I knew it was sometimes he's Canadian. Okay. Yeah. That would make sense. Oh my gosh. I was trying to be a baseball guy the day I missed out on that one. Dude, big maple is one of the coolest nicknames ever. It's a cool name name. Would have been like a perennial Cy Young candidate for about four or five years if he could stay healthy. Always fanged up. Yeah, it was not really. Last thing I've had this for a couple of weeks. So I just want to burn it. But there was an MLB fan. They got knocked out. We're about to burn one together. We're burning one here. It's in the six o'clock hour. All hell is breaking loose. Let's do it. Always. So somebody hits a homerun in MLB game. I think it was Trevor Larnack and it ends up you have a fan who's trying to catch it. They end up getting pegged right in the head like bang. Oh, I remember the studio. Yeah. Doc some out. Yeah. I mean, I've never actually seen that at a baseball game like I've seen the fever pitch movie. Of course, you're bearing more. How about you? The foul ball. She took. The LSU fan to remember he took one of the four heads big old not on his head. That was a girl. But no chaos. This guy. This guy. All game. Okay. There was a guy. Yes. But then there was also a female LSU like media girl that got just she had a lot of real estate though. So that was. She said you can see that. Just in case on the situation. No, no, no, no. This is just a just a lady media member a few years ago for LSU. She took one right there in the in the overhead. Yeah. Let's find out her name because we like girls with big four heads around here. We do. Yeah. We do. We say it respectfully. There's around the bases brought to you by your breeds. Thank you. All checking outstanding job. Once again, captaining the ship, our baseball expert long time Rangers pre and post game show hosts at Zach wall Chuck, okay, sports hodgepodge next though, chief, what you got. We got a little throwback Thursday story of the day featuring Jerry Jones and Demarcus where plus a stat of the day and a new campaign for guys like we'll Chuck next year in the nation. Welcome back nation. Hope you're having a great day. It's a Kumar rocker night here on the fan 837. I think the first pitch pre games coming up at eight o'clock is we're all going to watch. I'm cutting soccer practice early to make sure I get home. I have over five and a half strikeouts. Hell yeah. We got brisket sandos on the line, brisket sandos on the line. I'm an under. Wow. We know you're a bottom. Can't believe that you huh and you doubt the Rangers so much, Brian. I thought you liked these guys. I just I'm I'm going to be different on this. I'm going to work the sand. The sandos. Okay. All right. All right. We'll appreciate playing along there. We'll have sandos one way or another tomorrow along with a little Friday. What you drinking and what you thinking segments brought you by the French expensive life's unpredictable accidents happen. If you're hurt an accident due to somebody's negligence, call the Frankles for a free consultation two one four or eight one seven three three three three three three three three. Go to Frankel firm.com and now let's go to the chief or sports hodgepodge double bet payoff Friday tomorrow. You have your mind of nation or mike off. Don't shoot the messenger on this one brought us holding up the nine million Skoville nitro gummy that I could do it could be the last broadcast ever do. Yeah, this is as hazardous a payoff Friday as we've ever had and that nitro gummy is going to it's going to tear you up now. It's really just a mouth pain and a jow like right there in my jaws. It's really, really painful and the thing about it that'll surprise you brought us is just the sturdiness of that gummy bear. It's not as gummy of a bear as you would like, just choo choo, bam. There's like a little bit hard like so it takes you can't just my point is you can't just chew it really fast and swallow it. It takes a second to get that thing plastered up. No, it's going to get my teeth and stuff. You might get a little. Yeah, you might get a little piece stuck in your back tooth there and one of those molars or whatever sounds like he's describing a bit Oh, honey, you know, awful, right? Whoever invented that needs to be pull your teeth out and wall chuck, of course, has the pickle pig feet that he's I don't know which one I would rather do. If you can't like if I know I could finish a little nitro, although I might be in a lot of pain 20 minutes of pain, I think I would have to be a coward if I tried a wall chucks and I've I've almost bowed out of two different challenges as a matter of fact, I've said the words on the air, I can't do this and then I have I think the pigs feet might cripple me. Okay, I think that wall check and I are kind of setting an example here of like, like going full on. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you go, I'm just going to put something around my neck and do the show all day. That ain't that was heavy. That ain't happening anymore. You're not wearing those were truck nuts. You want to get this. Okay. So it's nothing to get Cincinnati bow tight on the air. Does that what you're saying? Because that's pretty much what it feels like. All right. And you're talking to somebody and you're talking to somebody who's done in the little nitro gummy. Okay. You know what I'm buying your hands. I'm aiming him right at you there, chief. Okay. I'm aiming right at you because there's anybody who's been more in on the bet payoffs than me. I'm speed owing. I'm back waxing. Hey, you name it. I've done it. I'm sacrificing myself for the show. This is no time for bona fides and resumes. It props to you. It's got the better resume that you get over your rouletteing mayo or yose. Yeah. Yeah. But big hammer. That's good. Ha ha ha. Thank you. The rest of them. Week. The rest of them. Week. Yeah. That shows how well. I just hope that you guys. We got for scouting as it pertains to bet payoffs. I will say this. Dawson's hair. That Cooper baby. Dawson's hair that one holiday season looked pretty bad when he did the look like I had there. That was bad. That was a bad look. That was my best one. That was a bad look. That was a good one. That was serious. Dude. I got bad. Abby string crying. He gave myself a lot of his haircut. It was during the holiday season. I'm like, and he's cold there for a couple of days hanging around the family and with that look. I'm like, God, I feel bad for you a little bit. That's wild. All right. Let's get into the hodgepodge here. Got some football things to bring you. But I do want to start with just a couple of basketball nuggets, the first of which Jason Tatum was on the Jimmy Fallon late night show and predicted a rematch playing Dallas in the finals. There we go. So take that for what you do. That was a smart man. Jason Tatum. It's the betting odds of the Mabs are really, really encouraging, like four to one, five to one. Yeah, four to one. I think I said to you. That is low odds. Go Mabs. But I think it's there. You have the wings, the guards and the bigs. There's not a better constructed basketball team top to bottom. Yeah. Health and then the clay Thompson situation there, like hopefully he hasn't just completely bottomed out and lost athleticism. I don't think that's the case, but it's certainly on the on the chart of things that are possible. Now I also have this from a B ball forever, bringing us to a stat of the day. Only fans, creators made more last year than every single NBA salary combined. So all the millions, how many billions of that point six billion dollars worth of only fans money was made for content creators in 2023. The 2023 NBA combined payroll was four point nine billion. So that's that's that was a little surprising to see guys like fraud is hard, just running up these numbers for the content creators. I think that like matches like black rocks. All revenue for the year, which is like the number one wealth manager, you know, in charge of all the 401Ks and stock market stuff. Yeah, whoever created the only fans idea is a only fan of brilliant, brilliant man. I mean, the way things can scale in the digital world, you know, where all of a sudden if your app goes viral around the world, a billion people could hypothetically use it if they just give you a penny each. It's crazy. You got 10 mil. Everybody seems like the country is late to my hating on Kirk Herb Street's dog party, but they have arrived in huge, huge waves and I might be actually making a bit of a turn on this one. Let's go. Now the Kirk Herb Street dog Ben, the golden retriever has been even, even more on television screens over the course of the start of this football season than last year, and now people are joining in on the why do why why is your dog so important? Why is he doing color analysis on football games and stuff? And so Al Michaels, who of course is in the booth with Kirk tonight for primes NFL matchup, you have Al being asked about the dog. And he says, you know what? I'm not an animal person, but Kirk brought this dog last year and all of a sudden I found myself in love with the dog golden retriever, beautifully behaved. He says Kirk is able to bring him around and he doesn't even have him on a leash, finds the dog to be hysterical. And he says he's never had a pet in his life or vegetable, but he'll have a pet before he has a vegetable. So okay. This is made up lines. Al Michaels is coming around because of this dog. I think you added that little last bit to the story. I'm I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead serious about this. He did not say vegetables in the dog. I swear he did. That's part of the reason why I brought it to the table because I thought that was a great line by Al Michaels, a noted non vegetable eating gentleman, pointing that out that he's also not a pet guy, but thanks to this golden retriever, he is maybe more open now than ever to having a pet still as close as ever as it pertains to taking a bite of a carrot. So I thought that was just a nice way to put it for him. And the thing we also learned about Kirk Herb Street's dog Ben is that this is kind of like a make a wish thing because he's he's dealing with some form of cancer and stuff. Oh, well, that changes the outlook on, you know, where this dog gets to go and every, you know, I feel like a Richard now, aren't you? The dog is going to be. But I am at least turning the turning a leaf on this and kind of going, I don't hate on this dog deal as much as the world is right now. He's getting it from all angles. The words I have cancer can open up a lot of doors. I feel like for you, you know, not any doors that you want to be opening. But if you're there, you know, and in that vein, chief, I wanted to confide in you that I've been thinking about bringing my dog up here, not for cancer relief. But you know, it just make me a little bit happier. I don't know why. I love that. It's my happiness. It's studio vibes up in here. Yeah. Yeah. You know, he's a non barking pug, which is a bonus. Okay. Yeah. A pug. I need to actually hold it for four hours or so. A little bit. Okay. All right. I do like those those pug faces. They're pretty amazing. All right. Here's a great story. Today's story of the day, and it comes via OCU minura, pass rusher for the Giants. Part of that Super Bowl champion team that beat the undefeated. Yes. Patriots played it. Troy. Same mycologist. Marcus Ware. Good buddies with Demarcus Ware. He has the same financial advisor, if you will, as Demarcus Ware listened to him tell the story about Demarcus Ware getting his highest paid defensive player in the sport contract from Jerry Jones in the Cowboys years ago and the conversation he had on the phone with his financial advisor that he also shared with Demarcus Ware. Me and Demarcus also have the same financial advice in Chris Cole. I call Chris Cole and Chris picks up the phone and there's like music in the background. I'm like, Chris doesn't part. Yeah. You're like, what is this? I'm like, you're at a party. He's like, yeah, I'm at a party with Demarcus. Jerry Jones just made Demarcus Ware the highest paid defensive player in the league. And after that, he threw him a party for taking his money at this time going through a contract to speed. He made this guy the highest paid player in football and threw him a party. And right here you go. If anybody says a negative word about Jerry Jones, you and I are going to have a problem. Who does that? That's pretty amazing. And I don't know if Jerry's still doing that. I don't know if he's made a habit of that over the years or if this was just a one off, we know that smile and incredible personality of Demarcus Ware could make you do things that maybe you never thought you would. But Jerry's like, hey, here's kind of a fun place to go. Here's the biggest contract in football history for a defensive player. And you are also, we're going to throw you a big time party because of it. Party party. That's awesome. It is. And OC is going, dude, I'm trying to get a contract from the, from the Maras with the Giants here. And I'm seeing Demarcus Ware not only getting the record setting deal, but also having a party thrown for him by the people that are giving him that contract. Pretty incredible. I mean, I can count on, I think one hand, the number of players that have been through here in my time covering the Cowboys that didn't like Jerry, you know, right, right? Even even some of the crazy things that he said, the positions that he's taken and maybe T.O. Yeah. I wonder if T.O. That ended poorly. Yeah. I wonder if that was one. And I was just thinking of guys that might have, you know, maybe now that he's in the hall of fame and everything's okay, maybe he's soft and that a little bit. But I wonder on the way out if he has any good thoughts for Jerry. Well, you know, Jay Ratliff didn't think the most of Jerry by the time that he left. But I mean, Jerry had so much respect for D. Ware when D. Ware left and ultimately went to the Broncos. I remember Jerry saying we didn't even want to give him a contract offer because it would be disrespectful to what he's done for the organization. Like what we have to give at this point, it was another one of those cap consolidating type of years. They just, they didn't even want to put something on paper that would have been, you know, disrespectful to their guy. I was just happy he was able to go get a Super Bowl. I saw from Nate Tyson, we talked about earlier Marvin Harrison Jr. and Kyler Murray in that weird situation. Yeah. Week one, the rookie wide out only getting two targets his way. One was dropped and the one that he caught went for four yards and that was it. He had weird tracking numbers as it pertains to his speed, like extremely low under 17 miles per hour was his max speed for the day, which is really, really nice story like last draft season. Like there are some people that think Marvin Harrison isn't going to be that good. Was it speed? Was speed the thing? Speed. He didn't look super fast on tape. I mean, he was a guy that just, he was around. It was kind of like we were just talking about earlier, like with the Jerry Rice thing, like he's a route technician. He's very smooth. He's a long strider. There were times where effort, you know, with him, it seemed like maybe he was a little checked out, but no, he was pretty much a unanimous camp miss wide receiver prospect. Yeah. Roman ended up putting neighbors ahead of him. Right. Because of how great. I mean, it's just, I mean, just because his neighbors was incredible, I knew more about neighbors than I did Harrison, but in it, you know, you're trying not to put Harrison's a hell of a football player. I was watching, you know, chief, you were talking about maybe the lack of speed or the effort. I kind of was looking at the tape just a little bit of, you know, a couple hours ago, and it's like, yeah, it was kind of like, you can come flying off the ball like you thought he would. For Marvin Harrison Jr. Yeah. He didn't run the forties, right? Yeah. He run it in a state which is a fast track and he didn't run at the combine. So he might have been trying to hide the speed. Yeah. Maybe that was a concern I thought of. Yeah. And the speed might have been the concern. Yes. Yeah. Well, Nate Tyson of Yahoo is trying to, you know, make these, these Cardinals fans calmed down a little bit because he says the bill's defensive game plan was basically to try and take Harrison out of the game. They clouded his side. Yeah. 30% of the time. Sure did. Sure did. So, which is actually the third highest in the NFL for week one. So he had the, the corner underneath and the safety over top them so that you can really try and limit how much he can, he can hurt you. So who knows where this goes from here and the Kyler comments about saying it's not my job to get him the ball was pretty funny and we'll see how that manifests itself. It's Nate Tyson giving Cardinals fans reason for hope here. Hey, the bills were trying to take him out of the game and, you know, for guys that are in year two, three, four, five, six more established quarterbacks might say, Hey, I don't care if you're doubled. Yeah. We're still just going to get to the ball, but this was his first game. So the, the, the speed stuff is weird though. Just coming off the ball. It didn't, it's almost like he, yeah, usually these guys have a burst and he's just such a tall long guy that it just didn't look like, you know, I'm like, is he really running here? You know, man, you mentioned it. I was like, okay. I can see what's going on here. Okay. A little surprise for you guys, but right now in the midst of a sports hodgepodge, we pivot to this. Oh, blackfold. Yes, we are to paranoia. Do you have it? A guy to my left might. There is a, there is a new term, uh, who paranoia, that's right. The health department is starting a new campaign. Queensland health has started a new campaign, which is, of course, it's okay to poo at work. No, apparently this is a bit of an epidemic and there have been some, some health related issues that have been involved with people with poo paranoia as it pertains to the workplace. And that can be uncomfortable. I've worked in places where it was extremely uncomfortable. I've had to overcome that a little bit. But apparently it is called par, parco, presis, okay, is the actual term for what wall chuck suffers from, which is the public toing, especially at work, you know, there's a little bit more intimacy involved, depending on the location of the bathroom, how many of the opposite sex members work in your office to where like, Oh my gosh, you just tore it up. Is it just a one bathroom for all I've worked at a place where I had like, yeah, over half the staff was women and all we had was a one stall, one toilet bathroom. Yeah. And so you had to share with the ladies in the office. Oh, yeah. No, absolutely not. Why? It was bad. You got to be flexible. You get there. My last job before I got into radio was like that. I worked in a cult center of like 20 people. And it was, you know, it's when you were just german, just one restroom, Jim, Jim McCormick. I was working in the mortgage industry at the time. I'd moved on from the fishing and on the ice, but there was this girl that we worked with that would would come back from the restroom and say, Oh my gosh, that is so nasty. Who is pooing in here? You know, she's like, we only have one restroom. You got to do that before after work. And I was like, you know what? She's actually got a pretty good point here. She has a just don't poo work. Oh, I'm sure I go here all the time now as she's the women's right. You got to wait till later in the afternoon, I'll go while we're prepping for the show. I don't care. Okay. The one that she's still here, right? She leaves a three. Yeah, that's wild. I haven't seen her in God knows how long. Okay. But I've always seen you in 2024, I want to say I want to use the women's bathroom gamut. As long as you can keep it is cleaner, man. It's so much better. Nobody uses it. It's so much cleaner. Gosh, it's cleaner. Yeah. Hiding, hiding of the shoes. Cause that's how yeah, that's how you get IDed quickly. Oh, I know who's under there. It's the height of the shoes are when you got like people that want to look through the crack. Who's in it? The bathroom, bathroom grenades were always a fun one. You wet up the paper towels, lob them into the stall, or you know, your buddies in there or whatever. Yeah. I didn't go to school. I'm sure. Some people have it to where they're so paranoid that they will actually bring like a backup pair of poo shoes. There we go. Yeah. Okay. You know, you're pulling a fast one on them. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Some flats, bro. Yeah. Nice little vans. Real talk. Yeah. I like that. I really did. I don't know these people. I don't know. These people. Don't judge me. You don't know my situation. I'd rather work with people that had poo paranoia than people that were like super like non concerned about that, you know, a little too confident as it pertains to and we got some of those guys up here, especially the guys with the massive like blowback functionality. I don't know how they just paint the inside of that bowl. Oh, yeah. But if I'm doing that, there's no way I'm going anywhere than my own house. Yeah. Right. Some of the well, when I worked at the apartment complex that had this money here bathroom situation, my apartment was like five minutes down the road. I would when I first started working there, I would drive him, but hey, I left so I gotta go. Let me go do that. Yeah. After about a year working, I was like, forget this, dude. I'm just going to own it. I tell you that Monty Kiffen used to he didn't care. He'd go into like the scouts bathroom and you would you could hear it and it is. You hit the bat here every single time and every dog go, Oh, Monty's using the men's room. Oh, man. Oh, God. Old men restroom habits is just a whole other topic. We got to run. They usually take you guys a long time. I'm sorry. Because you can't do it at work. You don't have the time doing radio quick commercial breaks are five minutes in the moles. I can't get one done in five minutes, bro. Yeah. Come on over. Five percent life, bro. I got some extras in my backpack. I took a lot of water slides out when I got to sit there and relax, smoke my vape. We got to run nation. When we're returned, we'll have a little cross talk with the fan after dark Fred's in the house. So is somebody else and we'll see a see in the house, Fred and CA next to the nation. Classic Chevrolet in grapevine. They are the number one Chevy dealing in the world with more civil ruddles than anyone else. Go see him today. I visit classic Chevrolet.com. This is Texas. This is classic Chevrolet together. Let's drive. Relax and enjoy the difference based on new Chevrolet registrations 2023, y'all. Thank you, Lucius. G back nation. We are now set to hand off the broadcast baton to the fan after dark in tonight's configuration Fred and CA and gentlemen. Good evening. How the heck are you? Hey, final hundred meters, man. One hour. Lincoln. You miss it. I got a beef with you guys. Because I only heard a couple of you guys say this. You really think that the Shannon Sharp thing was an accident? Yes. Yes. Really? All three. Yeah. Four. The smartest guys I know. You guys really don't. No, don't do that. That was on purpose. I don't know. I don't think you would want to have the outside world listening in on that. If you've been called gay, you might. But I don't think what you have like a better showing. He was slow stroking. It was all nonsense. Flowing. That's the beauty of it. You wanted to be crazy in there like, Oh my God, Shannon is tearing it out. Look, he's, it's so that you don't have to overthink it. I mean, look, hey, he's had the internet question his sexuality before. Yeah, they said he was zesty. Zesty. Right. What better way to kill the zesty rumors than with one of the most unzesty sex tapes. It's just a bunch of sounds. But do you possibly cost your empire? What? Really? From some sex sounds? You just don't know. Never know. In other words, you don't know the reaction. You just picked my curiosity to answer your question, Fred. Fred, why do you walk in here being logic? No, no, no. Because, man, that's why I just didn't question his sexuality. But I guess if it was that if he really thought that so many people did, you know, you just pop up with a girl, you would just be caught out of date with a girl. It's a lot easier to quell him when you hear girl sounds. Go ahead and make a audio fix tape. Put it on Instagram live. That way, nobody call me gay no more. There's that luscious had to laugh at it. How do you have a sex tape where you're behind the door? You just happened? I mean, what? One of his minions just happened to be running around. Oh, I hear it. Let's see if everybody else wants to hear it too. No. The phone wasn't moving either. Have you ever accidentally done anything with your phone while it's in your pocket or you took your clothes off and accidentally hit a button? Look, if I'm going to do that, no, I think we're all aware of our facilities and everything else that may be out to be honest with you. What's coming up on this show tonight, though, gentlemen? I mean, it's an hour, right? So I mean, we got Jared on for a segment. We're going to do a little cross talk. We're going to do a little Thursday night football talk and of course, you know, I mean, unrocker. We'll talk a little rocker and then, um, you know, who doesn't like phenomenal feet besides Rex Ryan. That's right. Yeah. So speaking of phenomenal feet, I try to get these guys fired about trading for a different running back. Cowboys have everything, but no, no, the running back got to get a feature back. I'm going to get a feature bag. Go get the star hour. Yeah. Yeah. I think you do need another playmaker with some speed because if there's one gripe I do have and see and see a C and I talked about this last night is outside of CD lamb. I don't know. God forbid if, if, if one of these, you know, the lions, the 49ers, the Eagles decide, you know what? Let's make somebody else beat us. Who is that guy? And I'm just nervous that right now with that Cowboys team, I mean, if we're putting it all on brain and cooks, I think it's Jake Ferguson's in there too. We'll see how this bone buries heels. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I think you need a running back. I think you need to go get you another, another receiver two years ago, Niners offense middle of the road. Get McCaffrey number one efficient game changer. And you know what? I don't, I don't disagree with you on that. Here we go. I got a bone to pick with you tomorrow. Okay. I can't wait. Let's go bring you 220. You're going to be picking over a pig bone, pig feet, you know what I'm going to say tomorrow, double bed payoff, pickled pig's feet for wool chuck at 220 brought us with a little nitro gummy at 520 thanks to Lucius Alexander and the pimp cup over their master control.
