I always settling in with 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.560 Nick and he, you know, on the pessimistic side, he's 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.760 a glass half fool, right, you know kind of guy.

It's North Texas and and uh, 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.239 Stephen and Foster, Okay, okay, wipe of mine? Huh No, No, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.000 this is okay. You're gonna call the game. You donna 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.400 call the gassy I'm on, YESPN, I gotta be at bias. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.720 I can't say one way or another. Okay, but it's 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.920 gonna be fun. But getting it to this game, um, 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.800 you know obviously I call you Nate on I got 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.640 you on speed out. Man. Every time I want to 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.560 get it right right, I call you and I say, Nate, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.360 you know what did I just see? Nate? What just happened? Man? 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.840 And you know what you told me? You said, Hey, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.480 but it ain't as bad as you thinking it is. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.640 It ain't as good as you think it is either. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.640 But after you watch the tape again, going back to 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.080 CD Lamb and some of the some of the things 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.320 that you saw this offense due and I know you 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.480 guys just talked about this, these these mistakes that they 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.400 made and coming up against now a Vikings defense that 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:21.200 you expect to be ready for a mediocre in league 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.599 as far as the league is opinion of these guys. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.720 This a B rated receiving corps. Can these guys in 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.640 this game going up against Patrick Peterson and that and 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.720 that vaulted defense Halson Smith on the back end with them, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.360 it's a lot. It's a lot going on, man, you know, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.920 and this is where you see me. Just ride CD 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:50.720 up until now. One thing, when you're young and uh 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.599 and tough. I believe this right here, you can always 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.960 change your outcome. What I may think of CD, this 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.200 pass game all. It takes a few extra reps mentally 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.839 and physically, and you can correct that. So I think 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.520 now by now CD probably don't figure out WHOA I 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.680 don't did this twice wrong and it's gonna hurt my quarterback. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.760 Show some love, show some mental toughness, do a little 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.280 extra film work and he and he can do this. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.760 I believe that with all my heart because I changed 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.520 from a mediocre player. I'm not saying a Hall of 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.680 Fame player, but I took it up a few levels, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.120 and I believe Ceedee Lawn can take it up a 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.040 few levels. So what I may have thought Sunday I 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.800 erased that because because the day is Wednesday, they're back 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.720 at practice. You know, get your film work in, get 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.120 a little extra in the field. You know, Hey, dat, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.159 let's go over this. What do you let me see 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.600 what you see. So I believe Cede Glam can bring 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:58.320 it up and Noah Brown Dak throw him the ball, 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.480 he'll catch it for you, you know. And Michael Gallup 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.520 just keep getting better. I don't know, I'm different. I 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.200 don't expect much from Mike when they I wanted him 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.280 to just be coming back now. I really did. I 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.320 thought he would just be coming back now. But I'm 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.240 glad they brought him back because the progress is slow, 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.600 but it's coming. But I need for Noah and CD 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.040 to come on. Yeah, you know, and if we can 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.479 get anything out of Gallup, we get something out of 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.480 it now. Just adding to the balance that the Cowboys 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.440 offense is shown over the last couple of weeks, I 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.000 mean coming with Dak coming back. Obviously they had to 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.039 have that rely heavily on the running game, but you've 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.719 seen them go to the air a lot more now, 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.360 and especially in this Green Bay game. I believe it's 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.360 forty five forty six times that Dak had to go 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.480 back and throw the ball. You talk about CD taking 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.560 that next step to be I'm assuming that you're saying 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:59.600 be a number one caliber. No, just be a good receiver, Okay, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.360 we're even talking number one. You just say it'd be good. Yeah, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.600 because you know, I hear Jesse talk about that separation. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:11.920 I hear Zeus Isaiah standback talk about what it takes 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.320 to be a number one. Everybody ain't ain't built that way. 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.160 Everybody want born. Mike Irman is born a number one. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.360 You know, HERM big, HERM megatron. He was born. Some 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.080 people were created. He's gonna have to be one of them. Guys, 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.320 is over time be created to be a number one. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.680 He's gonna have to learn that. It takes a little 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.640 bit more than when you was that projected number one. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.840 He gonna have to learn and and now it's just willingness. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.120 Is he willing to learn? You know? So Uh, that's 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.480 just how I feel about it. I mean, the difference 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.880 between a Calvin Johnson and a Michael Irvin and a 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.480 CD Lamb, I mean, the space is pretty big when 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.440 you even think about that. But doesn't CD Lamb have 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.400 that type of talent? The only thing that separates them 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:00.840 is the mentality. It's just a mentality, you know. And 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.280 that was the difference between and you know a lot 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.040 of the young people, don't, you know, the Great Muhammad 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.840 Ada Lee. You know, he was a man before he 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.880 walked in the ring because he always believed he could 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.000 beat you. When I first met Michael Irvin, Mike Irvin 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.720 like man, I was talking to him about corners that 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.640 was already in the league, like now I'm gonna dog him. Yeah, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.880 And he said, just let me figure out what's going on, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.440 and I'm gonna eat the league up. And that's just 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.680 how some guys are. Now. CD may feel that, but 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.600 he's got to work that. You got to work it now. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.320 Everybody ain't gonna be number one right off the bat. Now, 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.840 Now the repetition, and I hear you always talk about 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.840 the repetition, Yes, that it took for the kind of 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.360 connection that Mike and Troy had, And just going back 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.160 to the miscommunication that Dak talked about between him and 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.920 CD on those interceptions that he had in Chicago and 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.440 now those bleed over to interceptions in Green Bay. If 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.760 Mike and Troy had those same type of miscommunications, and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.720 you've talked extensively about what the coaches would have done, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.360 what would have what would be the conversation or what 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.720 would be the practice between those two guys to get 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.120 that right. I know they don't, probably don't do this now. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.959 But Mike had a certain routes that he was great 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.160 at them, and then a few that he was just 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.000 good at. And they threw these routes over and over 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.559 and over, and they always talked about it. What if 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.520 a guy is here, what are you seeing? What are 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.319 you thinking? And then they'll run it because now you 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.600 don't you're telling me what you're thinking. But now when 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.720 you get in the game. Oh but no, what are 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.880 you thinking with that safety? Now it's nowhere in the world. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.240 If I'm ceedee lamb, I'm like, you know what if 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.439 this guy right here? What are you thinking? If this 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.680 guy right here, and it may be just a difference 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.600 in the yard, what are you thinking? I better still, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.480 I'm coming across his face. Even if he back deep, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.560 I don't care because we can't miss again. It's gonna 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.240 have to be because mister Jones said it, and I 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.160 heard the other guys said, depending on who the guy was, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.480 It's about faith. It's about belief. It's about releasing that 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.240 ball knowing that you're gonna be there. If you don't 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.840 get it, wan't nobody to get it. So you have 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.720 to have that belief. And that only comes through repetition. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.960 And and I hate to sound like somebody's teaching and 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.319 asking that stupid question sometimes to the other guys that 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.360 come on CD. If the guy up take the post, 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.600 if the guy back, you know, but CD, in his 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.520 mind need to know, and more important, his quarterback needs 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.880 to know. Do you remember that old Dennis Hopper Nike 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.440 commercial with Mike and Troy had an ESP You remember 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.960 that commercial? Man, it was a great commercial. Man. They 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.040 talking about them being on the same page. Yeah, wave length, 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.160 you know, like they know each other so well. They 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.480 got ESP Mike and Troy. That's the that's the kind 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.960 of Uh, that's the kind of wave length that I 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:10.160 feel like DAK and CD should Yeah, that they should 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.480 be on And we saw that a lot with Amari Cooper. Uh. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.360 And now all of this has changed, man, the way 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.200 the conversation has gone from CD being the number one, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.360 Michael gallibeing you know, the number two, Jalen Tolbert being 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.280 a high draft pick coming in and he should be 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.439 the number three. Now the media is talking about nothing 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:37.520 but Odell Beckham counsel that everybody has said the right 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.959 thing over there. Yeah, but you know, I don't know 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.240 how alpha males are today. Yeah, I know what you 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.120 would be thinking, and I know what I'll be thinking. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.000 Ain't know. See, I'll be like, you know what, Coach 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.080 y'all can bring him in here, but I ain't gonna 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.280 act right now, did I'm gonna get Give me a 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:03.040 chance to show me I would be running. Larry Allen 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:08.360 was better than me. I remember they was trying to 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.040 the famous load left. I remember when they was trying 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.600 to make it more because it was Biggie should be 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.760 a Hall of Famer, Larry allah It was a hall 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.680 of famer. They was trying to run the load right. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.040 I stood up in the meeting. I said, hold on, coach, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.320 you know I usually be sitting out here jerking around, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:33.000 messing around whatever, joking playing. But what did you just say? Well, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.640 we just load right right here? No, coach me and 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.520 too he got this. It's called load left when we 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.720 get in the red zone, when we get the short yardage, 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.680 it's load left first. And if it don't work over here, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.440 I may understand you're going on here, but low left 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.320 is what we do. So for me to get up 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.520 and stand up and say that versus two should be 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.559 sure if I Hall of Famers and hay go men too. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.800 It just just knock around free agents. Oh man. Two. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.079 He looked at me like, I know, I'm not joke guy. Yeah, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.920 I'm like, oh dog. The only satisfaction I get, because 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.160 if they're gonna talk about the office line, it's gonna 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.640 be big ee what he did to Reggie White, what 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.040 he did the EJ Junior, it's gonna be lad around 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.240 and how he ran down the lineback and it's gonna 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.000 be Nate. Okay, what you're eating today, that's a pride thing. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.680 That's a pride thing now. I mean, that's in those 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.160 and and just so much that's been made about that 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.920 in the media and old and guys that have played 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.520 the game that says, you don't look man, you should 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.840 take pride, more pride or feel that alpha mel that 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.200 you were just talking about. And then you see CD 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.920 stand up and say yeah, and don't bring him in here. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.080 That's for the media. That's for the media. Media. But 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.760 I'm locker room in the locker room. But but I 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.560 want to there was a time in ninety four when 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.640 y'all had the opportunity to get d on and you 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.439 and Jerry Jones on one to five three. The fans said, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.720 you know, guys like Troy, guys like Emmett, guys like Mike. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.920 We're saying, yeah, let's let's go into they play wide receiver. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.520 They do not they do that. They didn't ask that Brown, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:19.120 They ain't ask. If they asked Kevin Smith, he said, yeah, yeah, 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.440 well I can sit on the bench. No, come on, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.960 because because what's the great Darren Darren? Darren Wilson was 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.160 our slot corner, him and Kenny Gant. So where were 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:34.160 Pump and Larry gonna go? Come on? This? This is 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.720 if you were telling me that this was Odell's first 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:44.880 knee injury, I'd be like, yeah, we got him, we 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.200 got it. But I think Odell is thirty. Yeah, oh 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.920 this is the second and this to the same knee. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:56.120 And I've seen almost every guy, including our own Gallop 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:02.880 not make it back, not make it back. Gallup been 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:07.480 playing what now, four games, and he's still ain't there. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:08.880 And I'm not, like I said, I'm not holding it 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.840 against him. Well, whatever we get from him, we get 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.120 from him. But you can't bring Oldell in here and 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.400 say whatever we get from him, we get from him. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.320 I heard coach McCarthy say, last week, that's another that's 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.960 another conversation. But it was so overwhelming that they had 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:28.040 to deal with it. That's what That's what Olddell's gonna bring. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.120 He's gonna be so overwhelming even with the two weeks. 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.960 You know, when he get in here, it's gonna be 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.400 a two week ramp up. He ain't going to sign 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.680 straight to the field. It's gonna be a two week 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.680 ramp up. Now. Now, now you're dealing with that. Now 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.440 you're dealing with that now As a receiver, you've been 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.720 not making the mistakes, so you're dealing with that. Now. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.680 Once he get back, you're gonna have some special routes 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:58.880 for him. You know, this team is young, right and 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:05.400 every Tyron Smith, I think he's been the greatest left 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.320 tackle beside Big Cat that's in the Hall of Fame. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.080 He the great, one of the great left tackles other 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.280 play the game, but starting for the Cowboys. Not no, no, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.960 after the bar, love you to death, but I want 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.720 the kid in there. I want the kids you yea 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:25.760 in there. I want to get every young guy every 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.840 opportunity to this year, whether we're in the playoffs or not. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.640 So next year it would not be a question on 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.520 who we are and what we're trying to accomplish and 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.240 the youth movement. If you've seen the youth movement that 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.240 obviously Smith our left tackle, our rookie left tackle. He 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.240 has come in at times and man, they're talking about 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.120 the win rate on the left side, running the ball 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.720 six yards every time they run into the left. That's 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.720 a testament to that, Yes to everything. I mean, you 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.160 were a big proponent and talking about that young man 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.720 and saying, hey, y'all doing this kid a disservice, will 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.680 move him around. Yeah, but now, Nate, you see them 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.200 leaving him alone out there and starting to pay dividend. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.480 It is. But also with that being said, and I 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.320 was talking about the balance that this offense has had. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.760 Now on top of that, you get Ezekiel Elliott back 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.960 into the fold. Now, with having Zeke back in the fold, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.720 do you think this opens up a lot more for 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.720 this offense or do you think Zeke now comes into 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:30.760 a situation where he's just a guy. Zeke has for 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.400 the last three years been just the guy who's been 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:40.240 very special. See Zeke is a pounder. He know where 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.840 he's at seven eight years into his career. I think 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.800 Zeke and bust On for thirty five yards forty five 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.760 Can he told the balls twenty five times again? Yeah? 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.440 I believe he can. Can he block where above average? 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.680 Yes he can. Zeke is just the guy who's real special. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.200 Bring him back in the same role he was. Now 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.280 you got the young Malik Davis. Now you can just 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:12.159 you ain't got to stop. Yeah. You. And the thing is, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.560 I say this, and I tell people, y'all, da gonna 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.480 have to throw the ball in certain games. He gonna 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.520 have to throw the ball. But they're going to find 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.480 a way. They incorporate our tight ends. If our receivers 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.960 don't pick it up drastically, and I'm talking about Cede 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.240 Lamb and I'm talking about Noah Brown, they have to 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.080 pick it up. And people said, well, Noah, just Noah. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:42.239 You know what if he catch Cooper cups. I got 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.280 a Cooper rush ball. If he can catch Cooper rush ball, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.760 he can catch jack balls. Yeah, and I know the 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.879 projectory and now all that they said, it's been different. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.680 But he can catch the ball. He caught it doing 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.440 training camp, So he can catch the ball. We just 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.960 need fun to pick it up. We know what Tony 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.480 Poll can do we know who Zeke kills. What we 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:10.400 can't do Fellas or we can't do this game. It's 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.040 give them the opportunity to to rush us. We are 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:20.439 a B minus rush offensive line. If we don't have 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.159 to run to offset us, we're gonna give it up. 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.800 So Nate this, I like what you're saying about pick 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.359 it up, right, I'm gonna talk about we're gonna take 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.040 a break. But I got a group that gotta pick 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.080 it up, Okay, And it's on the other side of 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.840 the ball, because I definitely want to know. And we've 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.960 gone around the circles about one Michael Parsons and what's 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.880 going on with him. But man, you said something about 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.960 him turning into Clark Kent and I can't get it 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.240 out of my head. Yeah, and I got my glasses 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.320 on the day I showed him pray that he take 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.640 his glasses off.
