First, the Mavericks and the Stars are in 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.880 their respective conference championship. Congrats to them, Shouts to them, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.640 Dallas teams getting to the conference championships. How's it feel, guys. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.600 Yeah, it's I'm I'm the Stars fan. I'm not necessarily 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.840 a Mavericks fan, but I am respecting the look. I'm 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.160 respecting the Mavericks run and of the the heat buddy, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.920 exactly of the team's left. I am rooting for the Mavericks. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.480 So I hope they get the job done. But it's 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.280 been awesome to see the Stars kind of rattle off 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.600 what they've been got going on. They both have really 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.560 tough matchups here in the next here in the conference finals, though, 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.400 so it's gonna be really fun. I'm excited for it. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:12.520 How you feeling, Isaiamh. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.320 I think it's dope. Yeah, you know, I don't watch 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.200 a lot of basketball. Actually, I don't watch any basketball, 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.119 but I did see the ending of their game. Well, 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.519 so that's pretty cool. I know everybody's really excited about them. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.919 I know Mark Cuban has been working on that squad 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.679 for some years now. Is dope to see Irving and 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.880 Luca really kind of finally meshing to see somebody's playing 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.040 really come to fruition I think is always pretty awesome, 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.680 especially from the sports management side. So kudos to the MAVs. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.200 The Stars are doing Stars things that they've had that 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.400 roster for a minute. They've added a couple of young pieces. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.360 You know, I've watched the Stars over the past few 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.960 years because of my Seattle cracking that are sitting at. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.240 The crib watch them get cracked. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.359 Yeah, they got cracked this year. This year there trash, 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:50.720 but we got rid of our coach, which I think 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:55.040 was a major problem. So congrats to the Stars. And yeah, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.000 the Rangers, you know, did their thing last year. Rangers, Stars, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.359 mav Does that put at least. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.000 My first question, at least to my first question? Does 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.560 that put any added emphasis on Cowboys expectations on the 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.480 Cowboys for getting to a conference championship this year? 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.160 I don't think it's any different. We also can't forget 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.800 the Dallas Wings went to the conference championship. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.480 Oh oh them. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.760 Yeah, I don't think it's and I don't think it's 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.680 any more than it's that it has been, you know, 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.440 for the last twenty some odd years. Yeah, sure, there's 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.760 probably a little bit more fan anks to whenever they 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.000 see the rest of the teams in the city doing 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.480 a reaching expectation or exceeding expectations. Someone posted a graphic 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.160 that was like ten thousand plus days since the Dallas 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.640 Cowboys reached a an NFC championship game, you know, compared 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.839 to everybody else's now is like one day, two days, 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.120 and then yeah, one hundred days for the Rangers. I 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.440 don't know, man, I one of the dumbest questions, and 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.880 forgive me a person on. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:56.000 X that said this, but h officially X now officially X. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.320 They asked, is it making the Cowboys ear relevant in doubts? 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.160 Oh? No, that's silly. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.280 And I said, you're a big dummy, dumb dumb you 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.880 said that. I said that harsh words. Dummy, dumb, dumb, dummy, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.800 dumb dumb, big stupid dude. No, I like, what what 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.720 are you doing? You know what I mean, Like, what 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:17.560 do you really. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.560 Think trolling that's what they're doing. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.080 Do you actually think that? 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.080 No, they don't believe that. In their heart. The Dallas 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:30.839 Cowboys are the largest sports brand in the world sports, sports, sports. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.000 I'm not just talking about football the world. So I mean, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.680 we're blessed to be sitting here talking about that, you know. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.080 That's actual football and then also the other football that 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.080 nobody cares actually. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.440 So yeah, so I mean that the Cowboys will always 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.680 be the Cowboys. Shout out to all the fellas from 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.920 the nineties that really along with Double J for making 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.440 this brand what it is. For everybody in the world 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.480 being able to acknowledge what the Dallas Cowboys are. I 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.320 don't care where you are in the world, they know 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.360 that star and that said is a lot not only 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.000 about Double J, but it says a lot about those 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.880 guys in the nineties that were running on a terror 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.120 for a number of years and which is hard to do. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.920 It's hard to do in the NFL, especially especially in 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.960 the NFL where there's cap restrictions and all that jazz. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.960 So a lot of kudos to them. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.800 It wasn't then necessarily there wasn't cap restrictions then necessarily. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.320 Yeah, I mean, but I mean the league there's a 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:27.159 lot more restraints on football teams and there are saved 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.640 for like baseball, you know, like there's the Yankees are 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.680 are a big brand, but some of it kind of 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.479 goes like I don't give it some of it any 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.320 credit because it's like you can spend as much money 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.160 as you want to get who you want versus in football, 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.039 you gotta work really hard from the managerial standpoint, you 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.520 really put together your roster year after year, which is 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.680 why what New England did was so incredible, right, It 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.919 was so incredible because you know that you have to 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.880 make things work right with a lot less, especially the 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.880 more success that you have. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.760 So, yeah, it doesn't hurt that you have the greatest 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.080 quarterback probably of all time. 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.640 That doesn't hurt at all. I mean, but even still 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.240 the Patriots, when you hear the Patriots name and you 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.440 hear the Cowboys name, you want to watch the Cowboys. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.479 Even with all the success that the Patriots had and 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.400 all the guys who made those teams successful, whether it 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:17.839 be the Dallas Cowboys or whether it be the New 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.120 England Patriots, they're no longer in the building. Yeah, the 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.840 coaches are no longer in the building, and yet when 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.159 you hear those two brands, you still want to tune 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.880 in for the Cowboys. So that says something. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.719 I think that's true, And I think the guy was 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.400 trying to make a point where it's like irrelevant in Dallas, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.800 like specifically in Dallas with all these other teams doing well, 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.039 and I like, again, I just I think that's a dumb. 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.800 Question that shows along the same lines of the certain 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.760 faction of the fan base this offseason. That's like, Hey, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.560 we should stop buying tickets, we should stop buying merch, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.520 stop listening to our podcast, go ahead, go ahead to 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.839 try and boycott the Cowboys so that they understand that 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.120 they need to do something this offseason to get us back. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.280 And it's like, well, but we're only hurting yourself. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.680 Dog. Hey, you're a. 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.600 Listening to a Dallas Cowboys podcast in May by the way, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.200 just just f yi, it's an off season edition of 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.680 Talking Cowboys. So it's like, and if those people would 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:08.960 not be. 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.320 Listening right now, if we've been watching, we're gonna watch 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.240 YouTube a million times, just make our numbers go up. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.080 I just mean, like, it's it's a it's a question 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:23.080 for sure, all right? Moving on the faith fight finished foundation? Uh, 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.680 Dak Prescott's foundation held an event over the weekend or 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.760 I guess the last Friday, right, CD was there, and 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.080 then of course Dak was asked about his contract. You 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.120 know again, Uh, Nick, do you want to share any 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:37.840 updates from that? Yeah? I wasn't there. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.840 Yeah, right, So this was this would have been more 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.720 so something for John here, but I was able to 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.960 attend this event last year, and basically it's it's his 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.520 foundation to UH help with breast cancer awareness as well 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.400 as suicide awareness. You know, he lost Dak Prescott, lost 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.600 his mother to breast cancer, lost his brother to suicide. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.240 So the faith fight finish, it's it's all kind of 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.200 comes together for UH Dak Prescott's foundation and to raise 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.840 money for it. There's silent auctions. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.560 There's also support for law enforcement in the community, and yeah, 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.400 also assistants to families in need. Obviously a very great foundation. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.880 But to add to that, I just thought it was 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.760 interesting that, you know, everyone's still talking about his contract. Yeah, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.480 he's putting on this really great event. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:19.920 Yeah. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.320 Absolutely, And if some people recall to the draft, I 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.760 believe it was for the Kaitlin Carson pick in the 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.360 fifth round where the International Fan of the Year went 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.680 up on stage and said that Dak Prescott saved his life. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.720 He was able to finally meet Dak at that event 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.080 last Friday night, which was really cool to see those 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:40.199 two come together, and really cool moment for Eduardo Flores and. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.959 He got the star treatment. Too, he walked the car 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:42.840 Star treat. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.600 Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I think when it comes 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.200 to Dak's contract situation, there's no update until there's an update, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.600 you know, in my in my eyes, yes, every time 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.319 that he comes into the spotlight and every time that 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.319 he comes out into the public and he's asked about it, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.640 he's probably gonna give the same answer until there's an update. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.319 So I mean, for me, I'm I'm along the same 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.960 lines of he's not trying to break into this exactly exactly, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.560 and he's not going to that's that's not his style, 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.920 even if even if that would help him in this 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.320 in this case, I don't think that's his style necessarily. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.600 So Isaiah is under the impression that he's going to 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.520 play the season out under under the final year of 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.400 his deal. I'm kind of fifty to fifty on it, 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.559 you know. I think something could get done at training camp, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.400 I really do. But it was like, right, yeah, but 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.840 also it wouldn't surprise. 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.560 Me if we don't know anything, but just the feeling 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.080 and the vibe is like if it happens, training camp 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:35.880 is where it happens. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.400 Yeah, I think now though you look at the urgency 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.040 to get other deals done. Dak is not the one 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.080 that's getting ready to hold out of OTAs this week. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.240 It's Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons. Now, Michael Parsons, I 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.560 don't think that's contract related. I think that's just because 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.520 you know, Mike is doing a separate offseason thing like 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.520 he did last year. But you still had factor that 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.080 in because you look at these big three contracts. They 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.280 haven't been making moves this offseason because of these big 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.360 three contracts, you know, not only to give them flexibility 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.319 this year, but also to understand that they're gonna need 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.520 that money in different places in twenty twenty five and 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.400 twenty twenty six. And those different places are these three guys. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.040 So they need to get these things done sooner rather 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.440 than later. But I mean, if you're Ceedee Lamb, why 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.240 do you get it done before, Justin Jefferson, If you're 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.839 Dak Prescott, why do you get it done before? You 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.400 could probably have more leverage and more a bigger opportunity 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.800 to get more money next off season. You know, if 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.520 you're Michael Parsons, why do it now when you could 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.040 have a better year next year and up your price. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.920 So I mean it's a weird limbo that the Cowboys 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.520 have found themselves in. Did they put themselves in this situation? 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:31.960 Yeah? 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.200 Probably, But that's where they're at, and that's I don't 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.920 think there's gonna be any movement until one of those 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.560 three pops. I think once one of them do, I 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.280 think that's when you kind of start seeing dominoing a 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.280 little bit a little bit. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.400 And if they're waiting till next season, like next season's 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.760 salary cap situation is even worse. So I think that 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.599 you I would hope that the cow was want to 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.959 get at least one of those done on the you know. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.800 Yeah, it would be even worse if they don't get 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.080 them done. Yeah, it would be even worse. Now if 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.560 they do, then their's flexibility to be created. But that's that's, Uh, 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:02.560 that's where you're at with it. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.240 Well, you mentioned cd CD was at the foundation. I 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.240 believe he was interviewed on I don't know if there 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.280 were interesting quotes about no, nothing nothing there, Yeah, nothing 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.360 there yet And he won't be at ot as the 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.880 organized team activities that are going on this week. Granted 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.760 those are optional, those are voluntary. Uh, we won't get 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.560 into the mandatory until I believe it's next week with 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.559 June four through sixth four through six with the mini camps. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.320 Isaiah coming from OTAs like do you first of all, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.360 do you miss OTAs? No? 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.600 No, I don't, not one bit. But they're important. They 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.320 are important in terms of just getting back into the 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.319 swing of things, getting used to waking up again, getting up, 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.560 going to workouts, getting outside you know, obviously lifting with 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.160 the team, going outside, doing your conditioning, doing your routes, 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.240 you know, all the things that you that you need 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.480 to do. Your calls, you know, a little brief install 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.040 type stuff. And then the meetings. The meetings, especially when 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.120 you have a new coach staff on one side of 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.760 the ball, is very important because you need to get 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.480 up on game as soon as possible and get confident. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.199 It's not just about instilling a playbook and a system 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.200 and a strategy and all that jazz, but it's also 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:19.880 about being able to just react when you hear it 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.840 right and be fully confident no matter what you see. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.559 If I see, say we're playing cover two, okay, this 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.040 is a cover two. This is my shade on the 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.319 defensive front versus this type of look, versus three by one. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.240 But if they come out in a two by two. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.199 What the heck do I do? You know, I need 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:37.640 to be able to react to that. I don't want 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.400 to be thinking about what did it look like on paper? 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:39.720 Again? 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.760 Okay on page seventy seven, all right, they shifted over, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.520 you know, So you want to just be able to react. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.760 So by the time training camp comes, you're literally just playing, 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.800 and now a coach can start manipulating you in positions 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.360 and start playing with your strengths and how you play 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.520 with somebody else. Right, we might work really well together 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.240 me and they might not work that great together in 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.679 this particular package. So you want to get all those 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.120 things hammered out as early as possible. So when you 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.959 have guys missing, it kind of sucks. But when they're 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.120 those the type of players like mikeh CD, you're gonna 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.360 be perfectly fine. But it's still I think, at least 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:11.800 for defensive side of the ball, is going to have 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.640 an impact on Zimber's ability to really hit the ground 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.000 running immediately, but he'll work around it. By front of 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:24.400 player's perspective, OTAs are important for majority of the players. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.240 Yeah, that's that's something I was kind of thinking about 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.320 as I was driving in this morning, Clarence Hilla tweeted 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.320 out that Cedee Lamb is not here for the start 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.440 of OTAs and Michael Parsons is not here for the 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.360 start of OTAs, and the Micah thing was what kind 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.640 of got my brain jogging a little bit. Just because 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.000 they're going into the first year under that new defensive system, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.920 will Micah's role look a little bit different? Who knows? 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.840 I mean, he's the most important player on the defense 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.199 in my opinion, and it's I think having him on 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.839 the field for these OTAs would definitely help. But you 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.880 would have to assume that there's been communication, had to 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.120 know that he's not going to be in the building 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.720 for this week, and then you just kind of roll 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.160 with the just on that maybe he comes midway through OTAs. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.200 Who knows, there's we don't know what the plan is there. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.959 And to kind of backtrack a little bit, is there 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.360 kind of no concern for you for CD not attending OTAs? 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.080 I mean, is it more so Mica than anything? 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.000 Yeah, I don't have any concern for CD not not here. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.359 Is the offense is still in places. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:22.640 The same offense. You have to assume my understanding for 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.520 what we used to do you have to assume that 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.000 that CD and Dak are still throwing. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:27.560 Yeah, and Dak has said that. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.560 Yeah, and he has a whole field at his house, right. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.800 Yeah, so yeah, the dockyard the day. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.200 I'm pretty sure they're getting plenty of reps in. So 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.880 it's it's about business right now. For CD, it's just 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.600 purely about business. And anybody who's taking that personally, you'll 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:42.440 be okay. Yeah. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.080 And again again it's voluntary. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.760 I mean, it's voluntary even when it becomes mandatory. It's 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:48.760 about business. Yeah. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.240 Business first. All right, boys, let's go ahead and take 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.040 our first break. Let's take an early one.

Right back after this. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.000 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.000 cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.960 online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.720 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.000 But the good news is Todd has at and T 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.760 five g. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.080 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.760 toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.400 t five G Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.720 Five G requires compatable plan and device.
