32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: hour is from the frozen tundra. It's not that col

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: not now, it'll get cold, not yet, come on, it's

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: early September. So the fallout, though, continues from the trade

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: heard round the pig Skin Whirl. And you know I

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: love a good, juicy story, and this continues to be

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. Stories still got legs. It's been about a week.

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: The story still got legs. If you have not heard

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: the latest, perhaps not. Micah Parsons, according to his agent, Michaeh. Parsons,

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: wanted to be a cowboy and had he not been

41
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: traded to the Green Bay football team, according to the agent,

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Parsons would have played in the season opener, which is

43
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday night in Philadelphia, and they would not have

44
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: sat out that game that According to the great David

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: mula Getta, the in your face agent for Micah Parsons

46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: now Move aheta contender, that parsons first choice was always

47
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: to remain in Dallas. How are you feeling in Green

48
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: Bay right now? I don't want to play for your team.

49
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: He wants to play for Cowboys. How does that make

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: you feel? A quote from a moveaged he said, quote,

51
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing is Michaeh wanted to

52
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: be a cowboy. He grew up cheering for the Cowboys.

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: According to Mola Ghetto, he wore the blue and white

54
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: at Penn State ward in the NFL with the Cowboys.

55
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: He wanted to be a cowboy, and we did everything

56
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: we could for him to remain a cowboy. Close quote

57
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: cowboy up. So let us discuss the question. How does

58
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Micah Parson's agent saying he did everything he could do

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: to remain a Cowboys sound? How does that sound? So

60
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I've got a little doggie bag.

61
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: We've got immunity and and the melting pot, and we

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are

63
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: going to make some delicious shredded chicken barbecue shredded chickens.

64
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna make outstanding. So let's begin with this. So

65
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: David moole getta all right. He comes out here like

66
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: a whirling dervish, acting like the world's smartest man while

67
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: playing the world's smallest violin. That's the vibe I got

68
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: as I saw these quotes bouncing around the echo chamber,

69
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: just trumming away at the world's smallest violin. It's a

70
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: real sob story. Real sad, my client, he wanted to

71
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: be a cowboy. He grew up a cowboy as a

72
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: little child, and he got to live his dream. And

73
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: now he's been sent to Siberia in northern Wisconsin. So Sad,

74
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: try to stay calm, right, try to stay calm. Of course,

75
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: we know, based on years of cynical talk radio that

76
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: this is all nonsense. It is pure d C, not

77
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: d C comics. It is damage control. This is known

78
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: as saving face. This is positioning Parsons as the what

79
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: as the helpless defender in distress the victim, because we

80
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: I guess we're getting a little bit away from that.

81
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: But boy. For a few years there was a wallowing

82
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: in victimhood was way to go. But it's like Parsons,

83
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the victim here is what it is, right, you know

84
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, you know Parsons, the helpless victim. And then

85
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: you got Jerry Jones over here, who's cast as the

86
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: bad guy with the big black stats and hat like

87
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: every Western you know, Texan bad guy, get that big

88
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: black stats and hat. And it's all, of course for

89
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: what it's for. The court, not the kangaroo court, not

90
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: the real court, not the people's court. That would be

91
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the kangaroo court. That is known as public opinion, so

92
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the public court. A Classic Agent playbook, move on page seventeen,

93
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: Section A of the playbook. It's not about football. It's

94
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: not about that. This is about the Q, not Cubert,

95
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: that's an old video game. It's about Q rating, Madison Avenue, endorsements,

96
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: all of that. You can't be the guy who forced

97
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: your way out of Dallas because listen, you gotta sell

98
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: merch still in Texas and the you know, the Cowboys

99
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: are a bit of a religion. They're a bit of

100
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: a religion. So it's a Friday night lights on steroids

101
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: and the lights usually get turned out on the Cowboys midseason.

102
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: But if you're the guy who turned your back and

103
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: said I don't want to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

104
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: If you're that guy, you are Judas. You are Judas.

105
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: If you do that, you're done in the Bible belt.

106
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: They will close the Bible and they will throw it

107
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: at you, is what they will do. So don't kid yourself. Now,

108
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: Parsons really wanted to stay in Dallas. If he really

109
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: wanted to stay in Dallas, guess what, he could have

110
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: worked it out. There was a path to stay with

111
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because the agent didn't want to talk about

112
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: that because the agent would have been out. But in

113
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the real world, the agent represent I've had an agent,

114
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: not a good one. I'm doing overnight still, but I

115
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: had an agent, all right, And this guy was a

116
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: total douche the agent that I had back in the day.

117
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: And if Parsons wanted to stay with the Cowboys, he

118
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: could have walked into Jerry Jones office or sent him.

119
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I'd say a text, but I don't know that Jerry text.

120
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: But call him right either, call him go to Jerry's office.

121
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Why did you show up to Jerry's office with a

122
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: nice doggie bag filled with barbecue brisket and a handshake.

123
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Deal done, un done, done, that's it, You're good. But no, instead,

124
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: we got this guy getta the agent. And I don't

125
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: know the guy personally, but my default position, based on

126
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: my experience with people who are agents, is the agent

127
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: is a pus filled sleeves bag until proven otherwise. That's

128
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: my default position on the agent. They're like those mosquitoes

129
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: buzzing around a Texas cattle ranch, you know, just everywhere,

130
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: and they suck every last drop of blood out of you,

131
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: is what they do. So Parsons he goes from Jerry's world,

132
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: the billion dollar pig skin cathedral, the biggest scoreboard, the

133
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: most beautiful cheerleaders were told, the flash, the giant corn dogs,

134
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: they got in text, all that stuff. And he goes

135
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: to Green Bay now juxtaposed Dallas and Green Bay, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

136
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: And I have a brother who lives there. God only

137
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: knows when he moved there. He didn't grow up there,

138
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: he moved to the I mean, who does that my brother,

139
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: my younger brother moved in the Green Bay area. But anyway,

140
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: having been there and visited my younger brother, the nicest

141
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: restaurant is Culver's Now. I love Culver's. I think it's

142
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: a great restaurant. I wish they would be an advertiser

143
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Trade. I love cheese kirts. I

144
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: love the whole menu. It's like the in and out

145
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: of the Midwest. But that's the top location. Now. If

146
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: you want nightlife in Green Bay, you want to go

147
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: out and party, get in some trouble there, there's a

148
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: couple spotted cows at the Veteran of Foreign Wars Hall,

149
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: you can there's some shows over there, so you can

150
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: go to that. And that's fitting, right, and it's fitting

151
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: And here's why, because in Dallas, Michael Parsons was a

152
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: star wearing a star on the side of his helmet

153
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: and all that. And Wisconsin he's like a farm here.

154
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: You ride the bicycles with the kids, you're in training camp,

155
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: you're out there chopping wood. You got a chop wood.

156
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: There's a lot of trees in northern Wisconsin, right, I

157
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: got shovel snow off the driveway and all that stuff.

158
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: It's the land of the cheese curve, the brat and

159
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: not a lot of glamor not the private jets there

160
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: might not be enough room there for the private jets

161
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: and all that stuff and the biggest show. You go

162
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: from the biggest show in NFL football to the frozen

163
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: tunder and listen, listen, it's Is it a good football town? Absolutely,

164
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: national fan base? Yes? Is it as big as the

165
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys know? And it's gonna be tough, though, if you

166
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: want to sell, like I don't know, some products you

167
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: just can't sell in Green Bay. Like I don't think

168
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: Hairjael sells. I don't think luxury cars sell in Green Bay.

169
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: You can really get a killer deal with Johnsonville brotz though.

170
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: So Micah Parsons can put on a get in front

171
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: of a grill and just get some Johnsonville Brotts and

172
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: he'll be good to go. Now turning the page on that.

173
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: So the hour of the fallout, if you will. So

174
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: we own a Dallas Now we are told the boys.

175
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: The latest reporting is the Cowboys were not worried, They

176
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: were not concerned about the public perception when they made

177
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: the decision to trade Micah Parsons. The report said that

178
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: the whispers that they were unconcerned. This is a quote

179
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: from the report. They were unconcerned about the public relations

180
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: fallout the team with face given how popular Micah Parsons

181
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: was with the fans, So are you surprised? Are you

182
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: surprised the Cowboys were not worried about the fallout from

183
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: trading a popular player. Absolutely not. I know we've been

184
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: over this, but this is the latest story. So we

185
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: react to the news of the day. This is Jerry

186
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: Jones we're talking about, right, And this is not your

187
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: normal Bucker route. It's not. The buck doesn't just stop

188
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is literally and figuratively the

189
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Buck in Dallas, the oil bearon the Carnival Barker, the

190
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: man of many Hats, the football overlord, all of that,

191
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: and Jerry believes, and it's hard to argue with him.

192
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Jerry believes that the Cowboys are wrapped in teflon. There's

193
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: a layer of teflon for the Cowboys, their bulletproof. If

194
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: they were a superhero, they'd be kryptonite proof. And they

195
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: have full immunity. The Cowboys have full immunity to the

196
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: torches and pitchforks of angry fans. In fact, they welcome it.

197
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: They welcome it. They've got some kind of force field

198
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: around there in the death star Jerry's world. They've got that,

199
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't care if people boo or scream or

200
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: throw their cowboy hats right into the dirt. We used

201
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: to have this guy, Cowboy Dan. I don't know if

202
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: he's even still around. I hope he is, but he

203
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: used to call the show if the Cowboys won. I

204
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: would love Cowboy Dan to call up and say what

205
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: happened to this trip? But listen, here's the deal. Jerry's

206
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: been living in his own reality for roughly thirty years,

207
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: and the situation is, no matter how mediocre, how low

208
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: can you go? And the Cowboys have gotten pretty low

209
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: at times. I no mater how many years they go

210
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: without hoisting up the Lombardi Trophy. They're still there with

211
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: a license to print money, money, money, right, money money,

212
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: and they haven't sniffed a Super Bowl in a generation

213
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: and a half. So to put that in some context

214
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: for you, there are young adults going to college right now.

215
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Some of them call the show. I don't know why,

216
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: but they do. But they go to college right now,

217
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: and they were not even born the last time the

218
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys won a championship. They're in college. Okay, that's and

219
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: some of them, have Garady graduated from college. It's been

220
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: that long, and yet they're still the most valuable franchise

221
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's not even really that close, because

222
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: Jerry's got the tent, he's got the big ten up there,

223
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: and he's got the popcorn machines going over to the

224
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: left and over to the right. The cheerleaders are dancing,

225
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: they're shaking their pom poms, and the people keep lining

226
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: up to buy tickets. And the Cowboys. Again, we've been

227
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: through this a bunch, but for those that are new

228
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: to the show, welcome the Cowboys. Not really a football team,

229
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: they're the NFLS. I guess Disneyland would be a good

230
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: comp Cowboys Disneyland. Very similar. Overpriced, over hyped, always packed

231
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: to the rafters, very similar situation there. Disneyland and the Cowboys.

232
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Now Dallas could trade, I'm telling you, they could trade

233
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescot. The Ore traded Mike Martin. They could trade

234
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They could bring back Quincy Carter and a

235
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: line of Coke at quarterback, and people would still tune in,

236
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: They would still watch. In fact, they might watch even

237
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: more to see what happens because the Cowboys are really

238
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: selling an idea, right, You're selling an idea is what

239
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: you're selling. There, America's team, the star, the big stadium,

240
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the big scoreboard. Jerry Jones is over the top personality,

241
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Bad decisions, doesn't matter the brand. Your

242
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: ride for the brand and the coat of the West.

243
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: You ride for the brand. You do what has to

244
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: be done, and that's it. So the way Jerry sees it,

245
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of people in sports, the ugly truth

246
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: is is that we can trade anybody. We'll just spin

247
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: it and we'll still sell jerseys and we'll still own

248
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: the headlines. And as long as nobody has apathy, we're good.

249
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Now on that note, final point, So the last part

250
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: of this, these things are all related. I mentioned the

251
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to spin it. Well, part of the

252
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: spin job is going on right now because there's more

253
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: stories bouncing around the echo chamber that say Michael Parson's

254
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: behavior during training camp rubbed people in the Cowboy locker room,

255
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: in the Cowboy locker room the wrong way. So how

256
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: do you see this one? So you know what this

257
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: is what's known as low hanging fruit. And unfortunately I

258
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: know how you make the hot dogs. So once you

259
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: learn how you make the hot dogs. It changes your

260
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: perspective on these tepis stories. Now you say, in the

261
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: locker room, does that mean players? Does that mean maybe

262
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: one of the ball boys doesn't like the fact that

263
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was not very polite to him, or a way.

264
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: But it's the reason this low hanging fruit is. If

265
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: you've got a star player and you know he's a

266
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: little loud and big personality and all that stuff, and

267
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: now you've traded them, the players somewhat popular, Suddenly everyone's

268
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: brave enough after the trade whisper, Oh yeah, yeah, ye,

269
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: that guy was a douche. You know that guy was

270
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: a schmuck. Spoiler alert. This is what happens in every

271
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: locker room. It is a melting pot. It's cheese fondue.

272
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: It is a melting pot. It's not one voice, it's

273
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: not one truth. And you've got guys who grew up

274
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: in the backwoods, in the South City, kids from the wrong,

275
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, the wrong part of town. And maybe there's

276
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: some Ivy League guys in there, some dopes like me

277
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: that went to a junior college, some international players. It's

278
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: a stew it is a stew of you and not

279
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: everyone amazingly, just like your office, just like where I work,

280
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: not everyone is going to line up and and be

281
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: on the same the same page, right, and not everyone's

282
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna vibe with each other. And so listen, Bikah Parsons

283
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: is a spicy tuna role tossed into a meat and

284
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: potatoes situation. Uh, you know, nothing is a universal truth

285
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: across the board. There is no you know, there's no Hey,

286
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: this is the way it is. Everyone agrees, there's never

287
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: ever total agreement. And it really just depends. And this

288
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: is how a lot of these stories in politics and

289
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: sports go. It really just depends on the uh, the

290
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: way the reporter wants to attack the story. Right, If

291
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: you wanted to write a story that say, man, Cowboy

292
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: players loved MICHAEH. Parsons. He was a great teammate, They

293
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: loved the way that he played, they loved his smile,

294
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: they loved his personality, all of that. You could write

295
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: that story. There are people in the Cowboy locker room

296
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: that will tell you they love Michael Parsons, that they

297
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: loved it. Right, And it just depends on the agenator

298
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: now saying, Hey, Parsons, I want to paint Parsons as

299
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: a problem child. And that's easy. Right, that's easy, and

300
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, boom, that's your headline, and that's the thing

301
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: that works. Right, You're the whole media world is in

302
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: the click based world. You've got to get clicks on

303
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: that and saying the headline Micah Parsons, Right, Michael Parsons

304
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: loved by some teammates. You're not clicking on that. I'm

305
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: not clicking on that. Who cares, I'm not clearing It

306
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: doesn't move the needle? Does it not move? The needle

307
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: doesn't sell. You're in the business of selling. Nobody's scrolling saying,

308
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: oh wow, that looks good to me. Let me click

Speaker 1: on that. Michael Parsons has friends video to eleven. You're

310
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Like the sexy headline is teammates

311
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: were rubbed the wrong way. Now that's got some sizzle.

Speaker 1: Radio studios, as approved by Anthony in Anaheim, who used

348
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: to call the show, but now he sold out for

349
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: these redded day shifts. Bad job by him. This portion

350
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: of the show made possible by our friends at tire Rack.

351

Speaker 1: off on that tire rack dot com the way tire

357
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: buying should be. So we'll get back to the spicy

358
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: conversation about Micah Parsons and all that. But are lead

359
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: this out from Tusca Looser we go, where the news

360
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: of the day takes US and coaches say the darnedest

361
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: things department. Coaches say the darness things department update. So

362
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: the embattled in battled collegiate football coach Kaalin de Boor

363
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: is undersiege after the latest misstep. So if you didn't

364
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: hear about this, perhaps I think we have some audiore

365
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: gonna play. So kay Kaylin de Boor, who came to

366
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Alabama from Washington, he attempted to address the pathetic Crimson

367
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: Tide performance over the weekend you sought against the seminoles

368
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: of Florida State and was asked what the hell happened

369
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: because he had claimed a week prior he gave the

370
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: standard coaching cliche that they had a really good week

371
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: of practice at Alabama, and that's generally a dead giveaway

372
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: that you're going to play well in the game. When

373
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: the coach says we had a really good week of practice,

374
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: that is usually an indication the coach believes the team

375
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: is prepared for the game and they're going to play well.

376
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: So a reporter dared bring that up, and Caitlin de Boor, well,

377
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: he was surprised.

378
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 5: Tike A Lis, you mentioned the great week before the game.

379
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: Just how much do you self scout the preparation before games,

380
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 5: and are other times as a coach where maybe you

381
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 5: notice during the week that things might not be going

382
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: the way that you want them to.

383
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: He said, what do you mean, great week?

384
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: A great week? He said, A great week of preparation

385
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 5: for this week. You're saying sorry for going up to

386
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 5: without a Florida. Say before that game, I said that,

387
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 5: You said that.

388
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, okay, all right, that's like, oh boy,

389
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough listen. All right. So and that

390
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: led gets even better. So that has led to now

391
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: they've moved on from Nick Saban already coming back to Alabama.

392
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: So now they positioned former NFL coach the greatness of

393
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders, John Gruden. Yeah, so let us discuss the

394
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: question Alabama fans panicking panic at the disco after a

395
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: disastrous back and forth there Kaylen de Boor, And that's

396
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: just a little sample. There are other weird moments there,

397
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: and there are factions of the Bama booster bass calling

398
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: for John Gruden to replace Kailin de Boor on the

399
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: sidelines at that sec power. How much credence do you

400
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: give the possibility of any of that happening? So I

401
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: have carrot cake kettering, banj Society and burger king, and

402
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: we look could behind all of these things together, and

403
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: we are going to make your Babushka's favorite twice baked potato,

404
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: not one time twice baked potato. Yeah, as approved by

405
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman so number. So the way I look

406
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: at this, the amount of credence I give this is

407
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: gigabytes bandwidth. That's what I give this. Here Internet chatter,

408
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: chata chata chatter. So let's start with the body language

409
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: of Kailin de Boor. Now, I realize if you're like

410
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: blind Scott or blind em It or any of the

411
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: legion of the Blind Wing of the Maltham Militia, you

412
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: cannot see this Inka terror. Here's the deal, Kayland bor

413
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: his body language on this. It looked like we were

414
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: watching a man who got caught shoplifting some peanuts from

415
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: a Pigley Wiggly. I said, did I do that? I don't,

416
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: I said that really okay? And so I love a

417
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: good meltdown. I love an entitled fan base that melts down.

418
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: And Alabama's an entitled fan base. They've had years and

419
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: years of Nick Saban great success and all that, and

420
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: you got this Kalin, the boor guy who's from the Midwest,

421
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: but he's perceived as a West Coast guy because he

422
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: coached in Seattle at Washington and all that stuff. And

423
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: it's just great. And so now they want John Gruden

424
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: to ride in like a night in shining armor to

425
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: save the day. Of course they do. John Gruden like

426
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: the shiny toy. It's been sitting on the Southeastern Conference

427
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: shelf for a decade, just waiting for an opportunity, right waiting.

428
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: Of course, he did have the Raider job, and then

429
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: that went away because of the email thing. It's like

430
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: football fried chicken. If you will, it's greasy, it's probably

431
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: bad for you. And man, does it smell good? Boy?

432
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Does that smell good? And you're desperate, you need something,

433
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: you go for it? Why not? And let's not forget though,

434
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: the math on this, so Calin Debor's buyout is north

435
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: of sixty million. We talked about this in a previous

436
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: episode of the show. So if you do the math

437
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: on that, they not only got to pay him that money,

438
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: but it's one hundred and twenty million dollar pyramid because

439
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: you have to pay sixty plus million to debor, and

440
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: then whoever is the next coach is hopefully not going

441
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: to be a bore or a dbore, and you're gonna

442
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: have to pay that coach another sixty plus million. So

443
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: it's over one hundred and twenty million dollar pyramid. And

444
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Bama has a game show network problem, like they're trying

445
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: to get out of one show that's that's no one's watching,

446
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: and now they got to pay for the next show,

447
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: but they can't. It's like wheel of fortune and then

448
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: it meets deal or no deal is essentially what we've

449
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: got here. So this is what Alabama fans don't get,

450
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: is that you can't just pass around the collection plate

451
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday's service and say all right, everyone put a

452
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: couple of bucks in there and then we got one

453
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million. Boom done. That's it. You need again,

454
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: a high falutin nice southern gentleman an oil baron is

455
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: what you need with really really deep Alabama roots, you know,

456
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: just goes back generations and deep pockets and all of that.

457
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: Because right now, and again I'm not there, I'm just

458
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: observing from thirty thousand feet, and from thirty thousand feet,

459
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this guy is Kaylin de Boor. He's

460
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: into that warm fuzzy stuff. We don't do warm fuzzy, right.

461
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: He's got that Hacuona Matada. He's got that vibe right,

462
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: sunshine and lollipops and all that stuff. And don't worry,

463
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: we'll get him next week. And no, they want rage. Uh,

464
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: they want someone bench. They want someone to lose their scholarship,

465
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: more than one person. They want a table flip. They

466
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: want Nick Saban smashing a headset, throwing it down, very

467
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: cantankerous Nick Saban. That's what they want. So they're not

468
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: buying what Kaitlin the Boor is selling at this point.

469
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: That made that clear. He's essentially shown up to the tailgate.

470
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: They're having a barbecue tailgate in Tuscaloosa, and he's the

471
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: guy that said, hey, I got some good carrot cake

472
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: at the tailgate barbecue. So if you want some carrot cake,

473
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: I've got that. I'm serving that. And well, no, Kaitlin,

474
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: we don't want that. We want barbecue ribs. We'd like

475
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: some corn bread, maybe some mac and cheese, some sweet tea.

476
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: That's what we would like. We don't want the carrot cake.

477
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: We don't I'm sorry, we don't. But I make really

478
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: good carrot cake. We don't want that, and I just

479
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: I can't. I love the part of the people melting

480
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: down like a toddler at a grocery stores. I've already

481
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: mentioned Pigley Wiggley. How about a wind Dixie? Had a

482
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: wind Dixie and then they're they're on the floor and

483
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: they're crying. I want my cereal, I want my cocup buffs.

484
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Now you can't have your cocoa. Ba Well, I want

485
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: Captain Crutch. You can't have Captain Crutch. I need it now.

486
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Gruden is a long shot, but not a no shot.

487
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: John grud is a long shot, not a no shot.

488
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: If they really want him, Alabama could get him. They could.

489
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: Gruden's suing the NFL, and unless they work out some

490
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: kind of backroom deal and Cruden gets an NFL coaching

491
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: job and ends the lawsuit, that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

492
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: So if Alabama really really wants, they can get what

493
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: their heart desires here. But there is again very tricky

494
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: math on this, and some serious boosters with massive egos

495
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: have to get involved to make this work. And until then,

496
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the moaning and groaning will not stop. And that's Alabama

497
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: football right now. You better win and if you stub

498
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: your toe again and lose again, crap. At least look angry,

499
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: give the illusion of anger. Make it seem like this

500
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: really bothers you. Because Klyn de Boor, he's got the

501
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: body language that will be fine. No no, no, no,

502
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: no no no no. All Right, Now we go to

503
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: the NFL to Minnesota, talk last hour about the Green

504
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Micah Parsons. Now we have equal time

505
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: in broadcasting. We going down of Minnesota where tight End TJ.

506
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Hockinson continues to fill up the content machine as we

507
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: pull apart cannibalize a recent interview that Hockinson did. The

508
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: tight end recently compared Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy, Yes, the

509
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: guy that hasn't started a regular season NFL game, compared

510
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy to who He said, He's a lot like

511
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and a little like Kirk Cousins. And those

512
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: are quarterbacks Hockinson has played with in his career with

513
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: the Lions and the Vikings. How does that sound to you?

514
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: How does that send you? So? I know that on

515
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: the internet, the Viking cheerleaders, and mister Irrigation's my advisor here.

516
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: He's a big fan of the Viking cheerleaders there. They've

517
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: gone viral for some very emasculating reasons recently, the Viking cheerleaders.

518
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: But it's nice that TJ. Hockinson is supporting the cheerleaders

519
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: because it sounds to me like he's got some purple

520
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: pomp poms for JJ McCarthy, and it's that's my quarterback.

521
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: That's my quarterback, and that is what these guys do.

522
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: This is one of my issues with all these comps.

523
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: And you're doing old man radio. That me expaine. All right,

524
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my elevator pitch. I want to see

525
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: if you agree or disagree with me on this because

526
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: it's been a pet peeve of mine for years. This

527
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: has been a pet peeve of mine. So these guys

528
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: live in the bubble of optimism. They do bubble of optimism.

529
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: It's the halo effect. And what I mean by that

530
00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: is that the player, the young player spins throw in practice,

531
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: has one really good skill and suddenly it's if Joe

532
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Montana and Tom Brady had a love child. If the

533
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: science worked out like that, this would be the quarterback.

534
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: They never ever compare these guys to stiffs, Like, no

535
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: one's ever saying if Hawkins said had come out. I

536
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: think JJ McCarthy's kind of reminds me of Christian Ponder.

537
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Why would you even ponder passing right? And they never say, Hey,

538
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: that guy reminds me of Tavaris Jackson, that you know,

539
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: great Viking quarterback. Remember I remember I was doing this

540
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: job when he was there. Oh he sucked. And because

541
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: that would actually be honest, you don't do honest, you don't.

542
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: It's like every time there's a new band and he's, oh,

543
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 1: that's the next Beatles. They used to say that all

544
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: the time. Not so much anymore because Beatles are long

545
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: in the past, but they used to, Oh, that's the

546
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: next Beatles. And then you'd listen and you'd be like, well,

547
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's more like smash Mouth. It's a cover

548
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: band for smash Mouth. And they're playing at the Kettering

549
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: Angelo's Society gig. They're warming up and opening up and

550
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: the only one in the crowd is justin in Cincinnati.

551
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. And so Stafford is a Super

552
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: Bowl champ, whether you like it or not. He's a

553
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, and Kirk Cousins is the Scrooge McDuck

554
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, as he is swimming in piles and

555
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: piles of guaranteed money. He's finagled so much money out

556
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: of these NFL owners. And you've got McCarthy who has

557
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: not thrown a real pass in a real game in

558
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: the NFL yet, and so many people are so horny

559
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: to find a franchise quarterback in Minnesota. They're treating McCarthy

560
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: like he's the second Coming, the Messiah, the Great Savior.

561
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: And for now I have this file as clear clear

562
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: optimism bias. I do again. You take one thing and

563
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: you say, well, that's pretty polished there, and then maybe

564
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: he's got some leadership and suddenly Stafford or Cousins and

565
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: all that suff But in reality, in Realityville, and I

566
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: am the mayor of Realityville, he's far more likely to

567
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: end up the next Jake Locker, remember him. Yeah, it's

568
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: the it's kind of like the movie trailers where they're

569
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: they get on the you're eating your popcorn if you

570
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: still go to the movies, and the movie trailer comes

571
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: on and they say, the best film since Shaw Shank Redemption. They're, oh, man,

572
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: that's that was a good movie. And uh and he's all,

573
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: that's all I gotta see that. And you know, darn tutin,

574
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: You know darn tutin that it's going to be a

575
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: straight to Netflix stinker is is what it's going to be,

576
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: starring Adam Sandler and all of his celebrity friends wearing wigs.

577
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: That's what it's going to be. Right And you wait,

578
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: wake me up and I'll be here. I mean, I'll

579
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: be sleeping during the day, but wake me up during

580
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: the day. Let me know when McCarthy actually does something

581
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: of note, as Eddie used to say in the NFL,

582
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: until then, the comps are Viking fan fiction. Will this

583
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: be the weekend? He goes out there as a great

584
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: opening act as the Viking quarterback in his first game

585
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: after a red shirt injury season. Now, final point to

586
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: the propaganda department of the NFL, we go quick, right now,

587
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: we'll go quick. We're gonna go quick. So the propagated

588
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: department of the NFL outrage outrage, fallout, outrage, fallout, Lucky

589
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: Tony not Happy and other Chicago Bear fans like Yaphomian

590
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Tree in Chicago and phase. They're not happy because follow

591
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: up to the top one hundred list made by Terry

592
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: in England actually made by NFL players. So five teams

593
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: got blank nothing, the Colts, the Titans, the Panthers, the Saints,

594
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: and dumb Bears. Now Chicago being completely left off the

595
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: NFL's top one hundred player list. That is the big

596
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: talking point. How could they do that? The Bears? They

597
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: want the off season last year, I don't understand. Are

598
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: you surprised? Are you surprised the Bears did not end

599
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: up with one player on the top one hundred list.

600
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: So this thing is the annual fast food menu of

601
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: a football filler, because you're really just trying to fill

602
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: time and you come up with a list. I don't

603
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: need to go through my rants. Why people are because

604
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: the lizard brain are preconditioned to answer and respond to

605
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: a list. But that aside the Bears, if you consider

606
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: this a fast food menu of football greatness. The Chicago

607
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Bears pulled up to the drive through at Burger King

608
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: and they got a truth whopper that is two slices

609
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: of bread and you wish you had some meat on

610
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: your roster, which kind of like a wish sandwich. But

611
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: they got an empty back. They got what's in the back.

612
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: They got nothing, right, not even a packet of ketchup

613
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: and a nap and some salt. They didn't even get that.

614
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: Zero for the Chicago Bears on the top one hundred

615
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Now, we are not surprised. And the

616
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: reason we're not surprised is because we're very cynical and

617
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: we know the naked truth. The naked truth is you

618
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: are what your record says you are. And the Chicago

619
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: Bears played seventeen games and lost twelve of them last season.

620
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: Where I come from in the old Country, that blows,

621
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: and that is a soggy French fry. Nobody I know

622
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: wants a saggy French fry. They don't want that. They

623
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: want a fresh hot, a little crisp to the fry.

624
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: That's what they want. And this is all opinion based anyway,

625
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: And so that's the point. It's opinion based, and it's

626
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: based on last season and the production of last season,

627
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: not the preseason hype machine. And who would you even

628
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: put on for Chicago. I was thinking about that. I

629
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: was making my long drive in here from the north Woods.

630
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: It's like Williams that was the number one overall pick,

631
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: and he put up mostly empty cat real football people

632
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: know he wasn't very good last year. Caleb Williams. The

633
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: stat sheet the equivalent of eating a whole bag of Dorito's,

634
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: and yet you're still hungry when you finish the bag

635
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: of Dorito's. You don't quite understand why because it looked

636
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: like a big bag of Dorito's, but you still you're hungry.

637
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: That's watching Cailer Williams. He was the twenty fourth ranked

638
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. And that's not very good. That's

639
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: not very good. And the harsh reality is the Chicago Bears.

640
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: They're not the Jags, but they kind of are. They

641
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: got a lot of just the guy type players on

642
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: that particular team. And the NFL has seven hundred and

643
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: forty or seven hundred and four the math, so it's

644
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: thirty two teams, eleven starters on offense and defense. So

645
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: the math works out to seven hundred and four starters

646
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: if you count every position, but don't count the special teams.

647
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: Don't count. Especially sure Chicago's got a lot of Italian

648
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: sausage filler. There's a lot of Italian sausage field and

649
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you build it, he will come.

650
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: I love sausage. By the way, if you build it,

651
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: the accolades will start coming in. That's the way. This

652
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: work is not that complicated. It's not that hard. It's

653
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: just sport. You know that the Bears have the pen

654
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: in their hand, and they have the new coach, Ben Johnson.

655
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: Show me you're Johnson. They can rewrite the menu, right,

656
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: rewrite the menu and all that stuff. But until then,

657
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: the Bears get squad douche is what they get.

661
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 6: This is one big fan gets grilled krubalou Ben.

662
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 7: Last season, the NFC North was the best division in football,

663
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 7: with all four teams finishing the season with a plus

664
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 7: forty or better point differential, Ben, Do you think they

665
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 7: will be the best division again this season?

666
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: No? I do not. I'm gonna go with the AFC North.

667
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: You've got Cincinnati's gonna be better here and unlike popular

668
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to be slightly better than what

669
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: they've had at quarterback. You still have the Ravens in

670
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: that division. Now the problem is you got the Browns.

671
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: So that's see, that's the ugly redheaded step child, the

672
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: Cleveland resident, in this case, the orange step child. But no,

673
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: because the Lions are gonna be a little worse, the

674
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Vikings will be a little worse. So and the Bears,

675
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: I still I don't think they're that good.

676
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 7: So next, An MLB insider said this week that quote

677
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 7: spending even one second arguing that Kyle Schwarber deserves MVP

678
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 7: over Otani is a massive waste of time.

679
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: Ben Is he right? No, it's not. And I like Otani,

680
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: He's likely gonna win the MVP. But Schwarber is much

681
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: better offensively than Otani this year, all right, So let's

682
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: be called like and Otani hasn't been that great as

683
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: a pitcher. So I mean, what are we doing next?

684
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 7: Brooklyn net forward Michael Porter Junior said in a recent

685
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 7: live stream that he believes he is the second best

686
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 7: shooter in the NBA, behind Steph Curry, that no one

687
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 7: is clearly ahead of him.

688
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, I actually believe I'm the

689
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: tooth fairy, And if I believe I'm the two, I'm

690
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: very coople oop and I'm the damn tooth fairy. So

691
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: that's what I believe. If you believe it, it must be true.

692
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: And I think I'm the tooth fairy. My cat, How

705
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 9: do not let your desperation seep out. Okay, if there's

706
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 9: a woman or a man that you're in rested in

707
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 9: and you hang out one time, if they leave a

708
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 9: sock or the back of an earring at your house,

709
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 9: do not say, Hey, do you want this back? Can

710
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 9: I come find you and give you back the back

711
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 9: of your earring?

712
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: You're saying that's like a dog marking their territories. Are

713
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: you saying it looks desperate? Yeah?

Speaker 9: Okay, she will come and talk to you if she

715
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 9: wants to hang out again. Okay, throw away the back

716
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 9: of that airring. Keep that sock snippet for later. Don't

717
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 9: even tell her.

718
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: You have it. Wow, okay. Salsa writes in says, I

719
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: don't drink. I'd rather not buy one for twenty dollars,

720
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: but maybe I will look cheap. How do I manage

721
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: this with women I meet?

722
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 9: I have dated multiple men who do not drink, and

723
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 9: it is never a problem. Still offer her, would you

724
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 9: like a beverage? Make sure you don't shame her. I

725
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 9: went on a date once and the guy shamed me

726
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 9: for ordering Usangria. So you know, just just because you

727
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 9: don't want to it doesn't mean you're cheap. It means

728
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 9: you just don't drink, and that's fine.

729
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: Okay, just offer a water, you know. Douglass writes It's says,

730
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm coming up, Douglas and Mississippi Sis. I'm coming

731
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: up with my third wedding anniversary and I want to

732
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: get some jewelry. But I can't decide a ring on

733
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: a ring, necklace, bracelet or anklet.

734
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 9: What do you suggest, Well, if you go to the

735
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 9: sex store, they have special rings there, I would get

736
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 9: one of those.

737
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: He was talking about those. I said, Daddy say that.

738
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 9: Well, there's all sorts of rings, and I want to

739
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 9: make sure he knows there's other options.

740
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: Other options out there. All right, great advice. That's why

741
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: we do the segment right there as example. That's it,

742
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: all right. Ferg Dog says, which theme park has more

743
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: attractive women? Disneyland or Not's Berry Farm? Very important?

744
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 9: Not it's very farm. I would say probably has the

745
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 9: more scandalous women. But I've seen a lot of risque

746
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 9: outfits at Disney lately, is that right?

747
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: Yes?

748
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 9: Lots of span Dex straight up the butt, like.

749
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: Who says no to that? God? Like that. As long

750
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: as you put the Disney ears on, you're good. You're good.

751
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

752
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 9: Out of parent Mouse ears, you're just cosplaying.

753
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's right. Josh says, I have a sugar

754
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: mama in another state. What are your tips you can

755
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: give to make a long distance relationship work? Says Josh.

756
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 9: Oh for a sugar mama specific specifically, she probably just

757
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 9: wants your time and attention, So I would you know,

758
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 9: text her every morning. Maybe to go out of the way.

759
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 9: If you want to really get extra sugar from her,

760
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,080
