It's our for the G back nation here on the family got an hour and a half to go before Rangers pregame takes off. If you want to hear Sandler go after me again, stick around. He'll join us in an hour or so. And he'll tell us what we need to know about this Texas Rangers ball club coming off a nice series went against the Yankees 10 runs last night. And now they get set to take on Ron Washington and the Angels. Here's chief with an addition of football's finest. Yes, sir. I mean, where are we at here, bros? We're like two hours and some change away from kickoff. The seasons here, football is back. Life is good. Just saw a little quote here from Lamar Jackson, who suits up tonight versus the Kansas City Chiefs, which is the last team that he played, taking the L and the AFC championship game at home. And the quote in the Washington post here from Lamar Jackson, as we get set for kickoff in Kansas City, he says, how I'm feeling right now. I wish I was feeling like this body wise in the AFC championship. We would have won the game. I would have been able to move around for my guys with me just hurting and can't move. I know if my legs were good, we would have won that S. We wouldn't have even had to throw the ball F throwing the ball and quote, never heard a quarterback say F throwing the ball. But I get everything he's saying, yes, if you had the same type of fresh legs that you do today, having not played a single football game in six months, as you do, or as you did in the AFC championship game after playing nothing but football for six months. Yeah, I think just about everybody would raise their hand and say, yeah, you know what, I wish I felt like in late January, the way I do in early September. Of course, that's the case. But that's the nature of the beast. When you're a running quarterback, you're not gonna have your fresh legs. I mean, you don't think Demarcus Lawrence feels like, man, if I just wasn't so burnt out after a season, you don't think maybe Demarcus Lawrence feels like they could have only lost by 10 or whatever to green Bay, probably, you know, but hey, we can't all be just fresh legs, snap our fingers were in the Super Bowl and we have no wear and tear on the body. F throwing the ball though, quote by a quarterback, never seen it before. So we're making history this season. In the sport of football, speaking of history, my dear God, what are we doing here with the Cowboys? Now, if it wasn't for some Australians also being football guys and pointing this out, I would have never known just how football guys and gals over there. Just how rooted in stupidity. This particular season is for stupidity. Yes, because our guy, Laurie Horish, who is a football monster. He was when I'm it's a shame you guys were gone because he showed up the lat like two days before we were leaving. Yeah, he's covering all the NFL for DSP in Australia. Yeah, so he popped through and he was we were having a good old time with him. Well, he's a lot of fun. Great guy in Jewish brother. What's a great guy. Correct me the way you did, but do it into the microphone. What Laurie Horish, Horish, Horish, okay, my knowledge. So Nick Harris dirty unveiled the news yesterday. The theme for the Dallas Cowboys last year was Carpe Omnia sees everything. And this year, it is just simply one word rooted R O O T E D okay from the router to the tutor. That's right. Rooted shout out to shout out to the pigskin. So our guy, Laurie Horish, Horish Horish decided to close as an Australian man, give us the Australian slang dictionary version of what rooted means. Yeah, which of course means F in nearly all its senses. Yeah, I feel rooted or like I feel bleeped. Yeah, so in all, in Australia, this year, the Cowboys fans know that their season theme is literally effed. Like when you see when you see Mike McCarthy roaming the sidelines on a game day with a hoodie that that reads rooted. He's basically just bleeding it. I love the self awareness here. And I'd like to think he did this on purpose. He was just hiding in plain sight. This is this was his plan. He's like McCarthy's looking around going like this is the roster you're giving me your lame duck in me. Okay, if you're duck in me, then we're rooted. Yeah, we're hard lame duck in me, you're effing me. Yeah, and this this isn't even like up for debate or like a piece of, you know, modern slang in Australia. This is it, you know, you you put what does rooted mean in Australia to have intercourse or something is not working or broken. That's pretty dang phenomenal, man. We're America's team guys. Okay, America is rooted. Yeah, we're not just for the last 30 years. We're not world's team. We're not the world's team. Is it too late to change this, you think? I think this is one where you just know, I think you're really roll with it. You're rooted to it. You're rooted to it. The Jones family is going to be laughing about this one for a long time. Well, Jonathan Jones is reporting on the home field advantage in Brazil that the Eagles actually have. I wasn't expecting this, but this feels like huge advantage filthy as the home team. You mean, park shores didn't have anything about this park shores. Yeah, what's my name? Park shore parks, rush park shores, but it's my guy's Elliott shore parks. He's not over there guy giving us home field advantage and off the moon probably thinks they won the game already. As the home team Friday in Brazil, the Eagles got a hotel closer to the stadium. The Packers on the other hand, will have a game day commute that is estimated between 90 minutes and two hours based off heavy traffic. We got that we have. Wow, security going getting us to the game. It's ridiculous. I have no idea, dude. We're in Brazil. I don't know what this is. I'm going to say we probably have some security getting. They probably do. Maybe the people in Brazil just don't care about yours. We're still sitting on a bus for two hours. It's a long time. Sounds brittle. That feels like a huge disadvantage for the Green Bay Packers. And I'm sure it's a comfy ride. I mean, you'd like to think it's probably as comfy as a bus can be perhaps water's along the way. Yeah, you're going to be you're going to be snacking or whatever. But a game day commute of two hours, I think is definitely definitely not cool. And if I was a Packers fan, I'd be a little bit bummed about that. Speaking of being bummed, we're already on the injury report in San Francisco with Christian McCaffrey. A lot of people's number one overall fantasy pick in the fantasy drafts battling a calf slash Achilles issue that go together limited in practice. So I mean, it's just, you never want to start the season when you're starting the season on the injury report. That is, that is, I mean, literally limping into the and limping into the season. I think it hurt. All training camp. All training campies hurt. And they bring them back rules say that they've got to put this on the report on the injury report. No, I'm just saying though, though, wasn't he coming back from his back? Like he's going to play on Sunday, but they've got to report it. Okay, or else they're going to get fined. The eight one six thinks we are ball sacking them with how rooted we are this season. And I cannot begin to tell you how, uh, how not true that is in terms of us balls. That's 100 facts. Look at that. It's 100 facts. That's just the, that's just what it is. So I'm just reporting to you the, the true news of the day. Cowboys rooted themselves once again. We have Jason Kelsey's parenting advice. Apparently he tells his kids that cats are poisonous. So they don't have to actually get one. That's genius. I was a boss. I told that's real. I was allergic to cats. He not come out and say that this was not true for the longest time. He said he was just joking about it. Yeah. He was, yeah. Yeah. Of course. But it's something to be honest. It's something that as a dad of young children, you need to be thinking about right now, what you're going to be your strategy for telling them, no, you can't get this right. Get out of these things. Because at about age five until age nine, it's going to be constant. Can I get a durable, a guinea pig, a cat, a dog? So I'm going to say mom's allergic. It's part of the celiac disease. All three of them are going to team up on chief. I want a cat. They're going to cry and scream about it. Bro, that's going to be tough. I know chief's just going to tell him, no, he's a not a pet guy at all. Are you? Yeah. Got him a pet? No, you shoot him. Are you kidding me? Oh, that's right. We got, yeah, we're the, the family shoot pets. Okay. Wild raccoons are not, are not house pets. Okay. First and fall animal. They love their animals in the woods or meeting right now, talking about the chia fall family. We have, we have a couple of family and, you know, we need to be aware about them when they come into into our area. We have a couple of cats that roam the neighborhood and you can't even say they're stray cats because they have a house there, but their owners just let them roam and they just barely crack their garage door so he can just like come and go as he pleases. But he's also just arriving in our backyard and dropping grumpers back there. What? I'm serious. I discovered this while mowing the lawn and then you run over it unbeknownst to me. And now you're living in a world of disgust. You feel like you're at FedEx field watching the commanders play football the sudden just surrounded by disgust. So I brought my kids out and I said, Hey, this what happens when you bring cats around? Okay. You smell bad. This is just disgusting. This is who I get back inside and don't ask me again. Wow. There you go. I thought maybe the was the porch poo guy. Maybe he's showing up with the cat. Maybe he was cat poo for the record. I didn't think it was. No, this, this cat's been running a muck a little bit. Got three drags them outside. Like points of a get back in the house. Genius. But you got to do man. I stand and I'll have his vision. I appreciate that. To cut these things off. What's up, Ted Nugent videos? The Hassan Redick still a no show, by the way, with with the Jets. So that's that's becoming more and more disastrous by the second. I'm kind of surprised that he hasn't shown up just to be like, are you really going to lose money here? It doesn't seem like the Jets are ready to play any type of ball with you on a contract. I didn't think he would. I didn't think he'd stay out this long, but he is. He's rooted in the in the account is there. They're talking about the Jets and where things stand right now and where Aaron Rodgers is at with, you know, coming off the injury and whatnot. And the report is that Rogers didn't look hindered by his surgically repaired Achilles. He was moving around in practices fairly well and even making some plays on the move. The offense was just sloppy at times in this summer included Rogers worse practice in a Jets uniform when he completed 11 of 27 passes back in mid-August. There were some snapping issues. He and Garrett Wilson had to reestablish their chemistry at one point. But once they did, Garrett Wilson became a monster and Rogers and the offense took off. So that's the assessment of where Aaron Rodgers and the Jets offense is, but we'll all find out in San Francisco on Monday night. You fantasy football guys and gals out there. Is he a draftable guy? Was he a draftable player? Aaron Rodgers? Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, of course. Uh, draftable in the sense that like, like like the very absolutely not, not even top 10 rounds. No, no, no. He, yeah, but he was wrapped in every league that I drafted in, but he's probably drafted as a quarterback too, like a backup ball up. So he is a backup quarterback on most fantasy football team. Yes, until he proves that he's good again. Okay. Injury really rooted him last year. Yeah. I mean, look, that whole Jets organization's pretty rude. It's awesome. You're talking about over there. Do you feel more or less rooted after hearing this sound from Jerry Jones when talking about Ezekiel Elliott, listen, listen to the comparison, listen to the name drop here as Jerry talks about current Zeke. Like, like what we just saw, Patriot Zeke. This is Jerry with Stephen A yesterday. I personally thought that his work there in New England was better than maybe a lot of other people evaluated it. I thought he did carry the mail in some critical times for them. And by the way, I saw those old boys getting up with that Jimmy Brown look the way those players used to look when I was watching him on television and they'd look like they'd just hit a brick wall or an old Jimmy at the SEs up. I saw some of that still in the way that New England with Zeke got the job done in the running game. I have more belief that Zeke gives us what we need in our short yardage than maybe a lot of fans do. Oh, route me running. This is really disgusting. I was, I was literally jarred this morning when I heard Jimmy Brown. How many folks were calling him Jimmy? I don't know. I'm sure Jerry and Jimmy were good buds. So he could get away with that. But I was not expecting the Jim Brown name drop when speaking about current sub four yards per carry is equal. That was Jimmy Brown. And he kept saying that we've spunked the money. Oh, we have that. We've spunked it. Yeah. I'd never have. We heard Jerry ever say that. Say spun. Here's Jerry. Spunting his balls off with Stephen A. There's no question that I got some of that off my credit card. Yeah. Okay. In other words, I spunked some money that I didn't have. Very common in the NFL. But the facts are that not only have we had great supporting cast around Dak, we have also spunked some of the money that we've got to spend on Dak in the future. That's country. That's just country right there, bro. Yeah. That's a little country. No, I just I hadn't. But I haven't heard him say spun before. I hadn't heard it. And it definitely the same way walled Chuck that you felt like you got like tased a little bit when you're listening. He's like, well, he's jarring. Exactly. What happened? A little jarring. And then he doubled down on the sponge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen A was agreeing with him on it. Stream it. I mean, he is the biggest butt kisser. He will rip the Cowboys for the ratings on first take. And then he's just going to sit. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. We see. He's much better than people thought he was. You're right. You're right. He's a showman like Jerry, though. You know, they're they're akin that way. Exactly. I do think it was. I mean, Stephen A asked him about like, you guys are not spending near as much cash as you had a couple of a like, Hey, how can you say you believe in Dak? And you believe he can get it done when he hasn't done the postseason. So respect to Stephen A on a couple of those questions. Now, here is Jerry with the, I don't know, the euphemism of the day. Jerry, how did you grow up? I grew up being taught to have a big front door and a small back door. Well set. There it is. Football's finest. Ladies and gentlemen, 300 pounders. All the ways out zigging one other zag, baby. Thank you, chief love in addition to the finest most afternoons at five o'clock here in the G bag nation. It's time to hit the expressway in the start of the Cowboys player show linebacker Eric Kendrick joins us next right here on your home with the Cowboys 105 three the fan. All right, buddies, it's time now to hit the expressway where we take you commercial free to the top. I think we're going to have to be a little flexible with the schedule. It is time right now at 520 every Thursday for the Eric Kendrick show here. We talked with the Cowboys linebacker, but he's still in meetings as they're wanting to make sure they get everything set. So, you know, we're going to float the sked for them. They just found out how rooted they were. That's right. segments brought to you by the on time experts. And we'll get to Eric Kendrick's here in just a second, but we're going to do a LA live early. So kind of flip flop that order. A lot of stuff going on in the world of sports right now. Chris Young does not have a contract for next season. What that means about the Rangers future. Evan Grant just posted that on the morning news. So we'll talk about that probably with Sands coming up at six o'clock. The top story of the day is the Cowboys want to do a longer deal, not a shorter deal. Diana Rucini's report yesterday said the opposite and that was kind of a surprise, but Clarence Hill cleaned that up saying it's Dak that wants to go short. So, you know, a couple of days before the NFL season started. Of course, Texas, Michigan is out there as well. But it is time now to go into the pimp cup where Lucius has an early edition of LA live one, no short, short man. Hey, you see the fool that got the airplane turned around because he wouldn't stop vaping. My cousin was on the flight. No, he called me two days ago. He's like, dude, we're flying from Milwaukee to Dallas. And we have to peel off and like to Tulsa or whatever, because a grown middle aged man is fighting people because he's not allowed to vape. I'm serious. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We might have a little situation. Okay. Y'all talk about yourselves. Okay. Yeah. I mean, vaping on a plane at 46 years old. He was like throwing punches, kicking around or whatever. It was in first class though. So my cousin was like, I had my kids with me, but we were far enough away. But it was just, it was like anytime you're in, I've never been on a plane situation like that, you know, especially when you're with your kids, you're just like, whoa, what is about to happen here, dude? Yeah. I, I, I've seen that every now and then. And it seems like you can get away with ripping one or two as long as you're willing to very quickly put it away. Like, oh, by bad, you know, I smoke them all the time on there. I sure do. I enjoy myself. How long are you holding that in the orange juice and vodka is deep? Stop pulling that thing. Do you even go take it to the restroom? No, I sit right there with you. Yeah. Lord, right at the window. Well, we had a phone call waiting for them calling back. I don't want him to interrupt LA live. Yeah. That's good. We'll just talk about some cowboy stuff here until he joins us and then, you know, we'll knock out some, some Eric Kendrick's and we get this Cowboys player show going properly excited to talk about it, talk about football with him. If you heard him on KMC masterpiece during training camp, he is one of the best interviews in the NFL. So we are very interested in, you know, booking him and he agreed to join. But so much of the conversation right now is around Dak Prescott and Clarence Hill's clarification of that story. If we're talking, if negotiations continue as Michota, you know, gave us a quote from Dak a little bit earlier that the conversations are still ongoing and it's just a one year difference for or five years. Aren't things adding up to a resolution on this in the next couple of days, one way or another, Brian, or do you think it can still wiggle off the hook? Do you think it's one or just one year? I think it's four or five years, right? And last night, Jerry said five with Stephen A Smith. Okay. That's, I just was kind of wondering that with that, you know, ideally they like to do the five year deals. I absolutely want to do the five year deal. And I was asking that in a way that it seems like that if it was just down to a one year that maybe, yeah, I'd absolutely that. Okay, that's what we're dealing with one year. To me, if you're holding, this might be more about Dak to say, and you know what, I'm, we've come this far with it. Let's just keep riding this thing. If you're Dak's side, if he gets to free agency and he's even able to flirt with other teams, don't you think naturally that's going to raise the price tag towards the Cowboys have to match it? Yeah, they'd either have to match or they'd let him go. Right. You know, that's where they're at, but I just kind of feel like that if you're Dak Prescott and everybody's kind of been talking about why sign, you know, you've carried, you know, you've given, you've given them an opportunity to negotiate this deal. And now we're getting to the point where the season's about to start. And he's going to say, Hey, I'm not going to most of these guys do when they when they get to a contract situation and then the season does start, they say, well, we're, you know, we're putting it on the back burner and we're worried about it afterwards. Yeah. And a lot of people, you know, and so I could see Dak once again, betting on himself, even if it is just like he asked me four to five years, I could say, well, you know, heck, maybe we could get more. Maybe we could get more years. Maybe we could get more money. Maybe, you know, he really honestly has no reason to sign with you right now, unless he is worried about injury, you know, or, you know, worry really doesn't want to leave. Yeah. And I don't think he does. He was talking about, you know, if okay, we'll think about this then, if he really doesn't want to leave, why didn't he wouldn't he just go ahead and sign them now? She tried to get the most money possible. You know, you're threatening. I'll leave and yeah, but they're threatening. We might not want you. They're saying, okay, five years this, you're asking for four for this. Yeah, you know, I, if you really didn't want to leave, I think you would sign this contract. If it's if it's the, if it's the highest paid guy or the highest paid quarterback, yeah, I think you would sign it and I think you will, you know, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I think you just want to, you know, walk this to the, the longest possible moment, put that fear in, in the other party. And man, he's, he's got, he's got all the cards CD weighted and got what he wanted. Sure did. You know, I think you have to wait until they see it as the deadline. Joining us now here on your home of the Cowboys 105 three, the fan is our weekly guest here for the Cowboys season linebacker Eric Kendrick's in the G back nation. Good afternoon, sir. How you doing? I'm doing good. How are you doing? Wonderful. Looking forward to this, you know, weekly conversation we're going to have through the season. Thanks so much for agreeing to it. I think this is the best mic that I've ever used. So I'm hearing myself loud and clear and I get used to this. Sounds fantastic. Sound good. How was practice? How was the meetings and everything? What's new? Practice was good. You know, it was a little, a little sticky out today. Got a look, got some sweat in. Just went over the film, went over to some two-minute stuff and yeah, feeling good, feeling confident. So one of the big questions that you're equipped to answer probably better than anybody is what's it going to be like for a team transitioning into the Mike Zimmer defense? Are we ready to hit the ground running? Yeah, I mean, we got to be ready to hit the ground running. I feel like we got a lot of good work with our offense and, you know, various other offenses during camp and now it's go time. So obviously, you know, we got a little bit more pressure on the line, but at the same time, you know, we know the looks we should be getting essentially. We always going to get some unscatulics in this first game, but, you know, looking to bring some pressure, looking to strap some people up, you know, cause some turnovers, cause some havoc and then get it going, get it rolling. How different is this version of the Zimmer scheme and defense compared to what it was when you were playing with them in Minnesota? It's definitely different. You know, there's different players on this team. One of the things I like is always, you know, we've always utilized the players that we do have. You know, the nucleus of the defense is definitely the same. You know, some of the coverage concepts and things like that are the same, but, you know, we have a lot more different. We have a lot, we have a lot more, you know, variety and our looks, especially, you know, with Micah and D law and those kind of guys up front. I'm looking forward to it because, you know, this is what we've been working on, you know, for the last month or so. So it's about time, about time that season comes. We're pumped to see it, man. We got to catch up with Zim a little bit out there in Oxnard and he was reflecting on his time in Minnesota. Have you noticed any difference in his coaching style? I mean, not really. You know, he, he, one of the things I remember from, you know, him being my coach previously was how consistent he was. You know, I feel like, you know, he has a standard of what he wants on defense and, you know, he's very, very meticulous, very, very detail oriented and that's what he, you know, he counts on us to be the same way. You know, he wants us to know our stuff. He wants us to be, you know, on point and, and accurate and, you know, he doesn't want us to make mistakes. But at the end of the day, you know, he wants us to play football too. He wants us to play free and fast. So you could use your instincts for sure as well. Hey, Eric, you're, it's funny. I'm a circle back. You were talking about the microphone. We got media background looking at right now with you. What do you, you do some of these things, podcasts and things like that? Not really. You know, I've done my fair share of being in the NFL and things like that, but I'm leaning into it a little bit more. You know, I feel like my personality is coming out more so now than it used to, you know, I used to be kind of like, we want to play good defense and, you know, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to say anything that's going to be, you know, affecting the team and things like that. And now it's like, okay, you know, I put the work in, you know, people know who I am and what I bring to the table. You know, I can relax a little bit and just chat. Look, you've been around the league a long time. You've been a great player. And we oftentimes talk when free agency rolls around that the Cowboys seem like a destination that players would want to play for because of what comes with being a cowboy for you. I mean, is that something you thought about it all when you were coming here? Like what for players around the league? How much of that is real or is that just a media stereotype? No, that's accurate. You know, I feel like, you know, in order to be the best, you got to play the best, you know, you got to play against the best, you know, you got to, and I feel like the Cowboys are always known for having, you know, the prime time games, you know, tough schedules and, you know, they get it rolling. So I feel like that definitely came into play in preseason, you know, the NFL is tough all around, you know, you can't, you can't hide that. But it's a little more pressure on you, you know, with the star on. So I kind of like that. Which one of the young linebackers asked the most questions of you? I honestly don't know. Probably between, you know, either Demone or Maris for sure. I would, I would bet Maris. I would bet Maris is a very, very smart. He seems very curious a lot about just the way he plays and stuff like that that he's probably a guy that wants to know everything that's going on with the scheme. Yeah, you know, he's, he's building some really good habits, man. I really like what I'm seeing from him. And he's going to be a special player for sure. Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendrick's here in the nation. Was he the most impressive rookie talent show at training camp guy? We heard him sing and he's got, I mean, amazing pipes. But was somebody, did anybody compete with Maris there? No, nobody came close. And I'm happy to say it came from the linebacker room, you know, the, you know, the voice of makes between Fergie and Jesus, you know, it was, it was nice to hear the reference. It was, it was good to hear, you know, especially in the dog days of camp, you know, you get the rookies up there. Sometimes they don't take it seriously. But we didn't have to worry about that when my dog Maris got up there. He took the mic away and stole our hearts, one note at a time. What did you do as a rookie? Well, I actually made a wrap up. It was like a fresh Prince about there. Nice. And we had camp in Mankato in Minnesota. And I made like a fresh Prince of Mankato type of rap. And I played the beat behind it. So I got pretty creative, you know, so I don't want to see anybody go up there and, and, and take a day off, you know, you got to come with it. Do you remember the rap? No, not at all. And I wouldn't, I wouldn't repeat it either. I totally remember. How has the rookie hazing changed since you were a rookie compared to what it is now? Do you have these guys? I mean, what do you got? You got a road trip to Cleveland? Is there a rookie? Like, is, is Leah found knowing that he's bringing a particular food item on the plane for you? Or what's the deal? I don't even think he knows. Like, I don't, I mean, like, for me, I remember the first, the first week I came in, the first two, like the first two weeks, it was a, I think the basketball playoffs are around, you know, time of OTAs, Minicamp, China. And we went to go watch a game. I got invited to watch a game with some of my teammates at this restaurant. And I'm, I'm there. This is my second week there. And, and the bill got handed to me immediately. And so it was, and I was, I thought they were joking, but you know, um, two grand later. And, you know, I mean, it's, you know, little things like that. But, you know, I feel like, I feel like even I didn't have it as, you know, as bad as the rookies of, you know, the past before then, we, we, you know, there's probably some stories out there that are, you know, crazy. Yeah. If you see Dez around, ask him about his rookie dinner experience. I think Jerry had to step in actually and write a check for that one. See, that wasn't my rookie dinner was a different night. So I still had that experience, but this was just my first outing with the team. Okay. Eric Kendrick's here. What are your interests outside of football, Eric? Mm. Big car guy. Hard for me not to say cars every single time. I don't know, you know, what I would do without them. But, um, I've always had a passion for cars, you know, from Hot Wheels to, you know, RC cars, now actually cars. Um, love, love working on them, tinkering on them in the off season. Love driving. Um, but, you know, other than that, you know, big, big traveler. I love food. So me and my wife, we always, um, check out all the local food spots. And, you know, you know, we chef it up as well. Yeah. I bet you guys are having fun exploring in Dallas. But if you're tinkering on cars, that's got to be like classics, right? Yeah. You know, um, the new ones are super hard to work on. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, you know, uh, yeah. Uh, so one of the cars that I recently have worked on, it was my grandpa's 1995 Dodge Viper, which, uh, was in pretty bad shape when we got it. But, you know, it's running great now. Um, we, we, we kind of just like replaced little things on it that are needed. Um, fuel lines, you know, oil, you know, spark plugs, just the basics and just good to get underneath it and, and, um, change it out. Um, that car is insane. It's, uh, completely sketchy, but I love it. You know, you talk about replacing things and working on the car. Is this stuff you do from like memory? Or you sit there and go to like YouTube, like the rest of us and say, oh, this is how I need to learn how to put this in. And you like watch a video on, on how to do it before you actually do it. Oh, no, YouTube is great. Uh, for sure. YouTube is fantastic. But like, uh, I actually have, I've, I've been lucky to have a lot of mentors in the space and, and, um, you know, the most part, I work on, uh, cars in my, my buddy Carter, who, um, is younger than me, but he has way more experience working on cars than me. So, um, it's kind of, it's kind of nice to have somebody who I can just ask the dumbest questions and he'll show me how to do it. Or, you know, we'll get them to the car together. It's been a lot of fun. So is there anybody on the team with what they're driving right now? You're like, man, we need to get you a new set of wheels. There's a lot of people, but, you know, I'm not going to throw anybody under the bus. We're just going to work on on the s in silence and, um, you know, see what their budget is and try to, you know, push for things that I like. I think the Marcus Lawrence has got some really good wheels. Yeah, he had a, he had a, like a, he had a cherry red Benz the other day. Oh, wow. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So it was, it was, it was, I was like, hey, do you know, that's you right there? Okay. What's your favorite that you have? My favorite that I have. I mean, so I have an R34 Skyline, which is a, you know, it's from Japan and it's my favorite. It's just super nostalgic for me and growing up. And that's the car that we knew we couldn't have here in America, but, you know, it's, it's all will drive, you know, Paul Walker, you know, jumped over the other car and too fast, too furious with it. And I've been driving that a lot lately and it's just so much fun, all the turbo sounds and things like that. Just, you know, that's what I work, you know, I work hard for a multitude of reasons, but, you know, I've always wanted to get in, get into cars and, you know, unfortunately, I wasn't able to afford them before. Well, what, uh, I am curious. I know you're about to take on the brown. See, I don't know how much of a trash talker you are, but would you, would you be willing to at least try and keep tally of how many massage jokes get thrown at the John during the game and then report back next week with the report back to you. Um, I, I personally, uh, I kind of black out during games, so sometimes people come with me in the off season and they're like, man, you talk crazy during the games. And then I'm like, what? And then sometimes I feel like I'm more on the quiet side, but, um, we'll see. Yeah, man. Keep a little tally for us. We got it. You got to be aware, though, Eric, they have a thing called sounds from the sidelines. So if you're, if you see like this boom over the top of you while you're standing there, just go off on it. It's okay, man. They, they make you sound like it's some of the greatest audio and visual stuff we get from a game. So you feel like, if you feel like you're getting filled, just go ahead and just go off like you're always like, black out. Yeah, it's, it makes it fun for all of us to really get the feel of it. Just get fine. Yeah. They're fine. Don't worry. They bleed out. They'll bleed out stuff. So we say some outlandish, yeah, exactly. Exactly. What is the scouting report on this Brown's offense before we let you boogie out of here? Man, honestly, they have a really, you know, experienced old line. We know that their own line has been working together for a while. Um, you know, we, we don't know the status, you know, as far as right now, but at the same time, we know, um, they work really well as a unit. Run game is very strong. Um, quarterback, we know what he's capable of, you know, out of the pocket plays, you know, you know, um, extended plays. And you know, they got, they got a guy who is, uh, you know, formerly a cowboy as well. So we know about him. And, um, you know, hopefully, you know, we just run and hit everybody and, and take care of business. Sounds like a plan to me. Eric, give him hell will be pulling for you. Thanks. Cheers. There he goes. Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendrick's every Thursday at 520 here in the G back nation set by week and Thanksgiving. Here we go. Yeah. Okay. It's time now to go win to that Pimp Cup where Lucius Alexander has in addition of LA law. Hey, I wonder if Eric knows that that Mecum is in town, broadest. Yeah, I tell you what, I almost, I almost brought that up. I really did. A lot of auctions in town. A lot of auctions. Man, that is awesome. If you want to just go and watch some, some, some beautiful cars. Want some ballers. Yeah. Some ballers. The first Trans Am or something like that from smoking in the band. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. All right. Let's get into a Thursday, Thursday, ladies night edition of L.A. live right after the Great Rick James. With a ratchet scratch, it's time to smoke fire up this talking. It'll make it dance or something. Everything. Yeah, baby. Hey, everybody. Ladies, we're discussing the rezoning for the portellos, the main comments on that. For what? We're discussing the rezoning on 53rd for... Well, I live on 63rd. Again, we're here to hear comments about the rezoning. Well, I don't like Facebook. And I don't like the internet because I can't find a job. The library blocked my password. Now, tell me, does that make any sense to you? Man, we're not here to discuss your personal life. I'm sorry. Do you have any comments about the rezoning? No, sir. Have a good day. Thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you very much. I think it should be clear right off the jump. Yeah. Come on, man. The comments.

I mean, a very, very attractive, beautiful woman doing like a man on the street type of vibes. Is she speaking facts or no? One thing you wish men understood better about women, what would it be? Like when something is fine, it's not fine. Like read, like read between the lines. You mean be a mind reader? Yeah, exactly. So, men are expected to be mind readers. Exactly. Why do women often expect men to do things that they're not physically capable of? I don't know. I haven't in like, I don't do that. Like, I don't expect men to do things that are incapable of. Isn't that what you just said though? Being a mind reader? What do you want us to read between the lines, right? Yeah. Okay, let me ask you, who's better at communication men or women? Women. So if men are worse at communication, why does so many women expect men to read their body language? I think men are better communicators. Logically, women are better with like communicating like emotionally. Okay, can you think of any situation where logic wouldn't outweigh emotions? I think logic should always outweigh emotion. Always. Wow. Congratulations. You win. Oh my gosh. This one was full of contradictions. Amazing. Your brain was scrambled. Yeah. She did it to herself. Totally rooted. That guy was confident that we're asking this question. Oh, he knew it. He knew it. Exactly where it was going. He had her punch drunk on the first reason why I got you. He did. No lupa dope there. Hey, vibes on a lady's night. G back of the day. We do it every weekday on the fan at 230. If you see anything floating out there, don't be afraid to hit me up. Lucky Lucius P on social media.

He has some smoke for our general. Gavin Dawson. Oh, we got Jared. I think. Yeah, he got. Oh, he wants to get spicy Dawson. Yeah. Oh, this is perfect. Wait. So this is true. I think Buffalo might be the sixth or seventh wild car team is Jared Sandler joins us now to protect his guy, Jack Choir, who I have been corrected. Jack was fired yesterday, giving up one run per inning pitch. Jared, good afternoon. How you doing? Yeah, no, no, I just, I was listening to the love you guys. And, Dawson, I heard you the other day when you were very passive aggressive with Broadus. I know how you can be. I heard the drive by shot there. That's cool. I was just trying to help you via text, not sound like a total. Okay. So you say you're trying to help me via text, Jared. This is not how you address somebody via text in the middle of a segment. Be honest. Did you watch the game suggesting that I was dishonest? That's where you got sideways with me, Jared, just so you know, but did you watch the game? No, I didn't. So I saw his numbers. I saw his numbers. I understand that. Okay. I was just trying to help you out because if you watch the game, then it would be a different approach. I'm just trying to help you out. He did say, not sound like a total dip ass. That's where you got sideways with. There was a lot of anger coming from that man. And I did watch the game. You did now. Yeah. I could see why he was so angry now. He's fighting reality. Stop it. Stop it, dude. People are kind of upset about how you dismounted from this. Sure. conversation. This is legendary. It's not sensitive. Is even one of the top Rangers prospects anymore as the number two overall pick? I guess that's my bad for having expectations too high on a guy. You're spinning this because you don't know how else to combat me other than by playing the Oh, I guess it's my bad. You're not listening to anything I'm saying though. Okay, that's the second in so you get me in the last 30 minutes. Screw you, Jared. Goodbye. Bye. There it is. There it is. I was totally listening. There it is. Screw you. Just makeup stuff about my experience. It's wonderful. Choke the life out of that. Screw you, Jared. Yeah. This is LA love 105 through the fan. Hey, I got a woman right here. She recorded herself getting fired from her job. A woman on TikTok got fired from her job and shared the awkward conversation she had with the HR with her followers, man. Tell you what, anything happens in your life? Give it to the timeline, I guess. Yeah. Give it to the timeline. This lady's name is on TikTok is at we sick and tired. HR explained to the well, Lusie HR explained the company had previously spoken to at we sick and tired about her absenteeism, as well as a tardiness and a failure to improve. Do you can get rid of people for failure to improve? Yeah. That's what stayed. They do the whole thing with the interview. I mean, they get better every day. You're getting worse. They tell you what you're doing wrong and if you don't get better, then that's grounds to fire. Every day is the Super Bowl. I wish I can work in all aspects of life and improved. Let's listen to this girl right here. Okay. Can you, I'm sorry. I didn't, can you say that again? Um, yeah. Hi, Tatiana. This is Shelly from HR. Tatiana. Hey, HR, okay. Buzz it down. Tatiana. Yeah. Buzz it down. No, I don't remember you, but what's going on? We had a discussion a couple of weeks ago about your absenteeism and tardiness. Okay. Now what time you have to be clocked in at work? Six o'clock. Yeah, six a.m. Okay. Unfortunately, on seven, 18, you clocked in at six, 12. Well, discussion about that. 12, 12 minutes. Yeah, but you know that they're waiting on you to be there. It clocked in and ready to work. Yes. Okay. Okay. So, so your employment is really going to be terminated as of today. Because also on seven, 28, you clocked in at six, 21. 21 minutes. Do another one. But I still, I still work though. Like, I still like, I still work. Why didn't y'all tell me that today? When I was just at work? Because I handle all the installers. So they want to need to call you because we had that discussion. Remember about, and that was the day that I let my out. All right. Keep going. So you were also on eight, eight, you clocked in at eight, like six 32. It's getting better at two minutes. So I let my cousin use my car the night before and he didn't bring it. He overslept or something. He didn't bring it back till the morning. So like, I still met with him. Hey, is that excuse? Excuse me. Excuse me. Can I tell Tim that? I don't want to point your fingers, but that was my cousin's because I'm sure it starts at two, but I made it at two 30 for g bag of the day. Come on, dude. What am I, buddy? Use the car. I'm good guy. I was expecting her to say I was there in the six o'clock hour. I started, I started six. How much do you need from me? Yeah. It's the six AM club. I'm good up to six 59. I'm going after we talked. So and then on eight 12, you just did a no call, no show. That was my birthday. Oh, that's my birthday. I already told you that's the day off work though. But John, that's my birthday. That's my birthday. Even I worked on my birthday. You're too grown for me. Well, unfortunately, I just need you to turn your keys in. I'll be there tomorrow because that's crazy. That's crazy. He's crazy. Wow. He ever quit herself with a conversation right there. Sometimes you feel like companies are just out to get their employees. I felt that way. Listen to that. It must be hard finding employees out there. Are we still doing that? Is it the people don't want to work or is it it's hard to find what's going on? Where we at in that conversation? There's just plenty of turnover, I think. I think every time you blink, you show up to a place you think you're going to see a familiar face. Oh, no, they're up and gone. Yeah, they're gone. Good people. Hey, guy, because the timeline was giving me. And right after I saved that video, Tom, I was like, Oh, you like that? Well, here's another guy quitting his job. Look at this. I asked him if he'd stay at another hour or, you know, he goes for you and he walks away. Said he's took his tool belt. He's not coming back. But that's what you get nowadays. You ask, you simply ask an employee to work another hour, which is nothing because look what time it is. It's only two o'clock. And now he's flipping me off. Because you're done. You know, response, just walking away. He had his tool belt over his shoulder. It was a beautiful day outside guy was just walking with his tool belt over his shoulder. This guy's got no respect for his manager. Imagine what he would have done if he had to do something to his break, man. You know, the best people must have all types of monies. Cause like, how can you just walk away from the thing that's paying? You don't, you don't have the money. You just do it. Just pick, pick it up later, find something. Is that what it is? I think so. You can't get any help with your quit your job. You're a fire. You get some help. Yeah, I think people just kind of just stay, they said, it's not for me. I'm going to go do something else. Yeah, that's not going to do. I mean, the pay is so low compared to the bills. I think even as you're working the job, you still are broke. It's like I can be broken, not working. Just telling bill collectors to get lost or I could go to work for 50 hours a week and still be broke. I mean, the economy has been heading in a very specific direction for like 50 years now to squeeze out the working man. Now we're at the end of it where me and wife working hard can't keep the lights on. At that point, you're like, why are we even going? Yeah, I had a $600 light bill yesterday. Dude, I'm right there with you. $600 light bill. And I didn't see it first. She seen it first. When I walked in the house, I was like, why so damn hot in here. That's insane. You take on the seventh job so you can have a $600 light bill. Yeah, really. I mean, you know me, swimming the poo river or air conditioning. I'm not going to sweat at night. I'm not going to sweat at night sleeping. I'm just not going to do it. I definitely have my AC up in the mid 70s now though. He really in the mid 70s, because the last summer, the $600 bills and up, it went up from there. Yeah. So I'm like, dude, we're going mid 70s, no lights on. And we can kind of keep it under 500 bucks in the non summer months. Man, my draw a bit like this 68 69. I'd about to say it's cold in there. You wake up in the morning, you shiver. I'm like Juneau Alaskan spring. I love it. I love it. Anyone have some fantasy players playing tonight? Yeah, I got Lamar Jackson and a couple leagues for sure. I think I got Rashid Rice in a league. So I'm hoping he's he's balling out. Otherwise, I think that's probably it for me originally. Thanks for asking. Let's just appreciate it. No, no problem, man. It was a setup. This guy took a shot at you. Men fellas, listen up. We are way crazier than that. We play fantasy football, dude. That's crazy. First of all, watching football is a fantasy. Okay, we can't do it. We watch other guys do it. Fantasy football is a fantasy of the fantasy because that team wasn't doing very good. So we created a new fantasy to figure out if that you guys get at your cowboy fans. You know what I'm saying? Just no. So you're like, maybe I can win at this game. You know, I'm saying, just make it once. And then before the football season, you'll see this. There's three grown men on television and they were doing a mock fantasy draft. A fake draft of an imaginary league. Of a fantasy. Like fellas, how far from reality can we get? He's like, I just picked up Aaron Rodgers. I'm like, pick up your daughter from school. Don't tell me how to live my life. Your wife is about to be a free agent, dude, is it? Hopefully. Stop, bro. Hopefully. I can't root off. Hey, y'all enjoy the first game of the NFL season. Yeah. Yeah, we made it. I'm grabbing some wings. I think I might do blue cheese. It's lit, bro. It's lit. All right. They flashing a light at me. It is my time. My name is Lucius Alexander, Lord, will it in the creek? Don't rise. I'll be here tomorrow. Hala. There he goes. LA Live every night, 540 here in the nation for the ladies around the bases brought you by Uber Eats, Wally Bully. How about it? Elvis retiring tonight. We'll talk with Jared Sandler and where's the Rangers core ranking on these ESPN all MLB course that's next in the nation.
