Man, ten days, twelve pounds, that's crazy. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.640 It was a lot. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.800 It was a lot. It looked like a lot. Whenever 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.280 you sent the the video from the top and one 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.600 you were an emotional wreck, which I understand that's unbelievable 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.479 of a feat. But the the thing that I picked 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.800 up on was that your dreads were frozzen. 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.600 Yeah, it was all frozen. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.640 Yeah, you were moving your head and it felt like 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.200 they were just cracking going on. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.360 I honestly, like Scott was just asking me about that, 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.520 I didn't think, well, my fingers felt it. Honestly, my 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.080 fingers are still numb, so I'm hoping that feeling goes 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.320 away sooner than later. Yeah, it just feels like just 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:01.800 crazy pressure on their fingertips. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.400 But yeah, I didn't think about that part. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.480 Once you get up to that point, like you're not 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.000 you're cold, but you're not thinking about the cold. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.080 Yeah, it's kind of weird. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.200 You gotta you can't think about them. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.840 No, you're literally, at least for me, I can only 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.200 speak for me. I'm looking at the heels of the 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.640 person in front of me like that's for hours. I 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.760 was just like you take a step, I take a step, 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.200 You take a step like that's literally where my mind was, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.760 and then just trying to. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.440 Battle all the crap that goes through your head at 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:28.840 that time. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.920 In terms of a physical feat, is that the coolest 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.760 thing you've ever done? Yes? 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.440 And yes, physically yes, but it wasn't. The physical wasn't the. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.560 Most challenging aspects. It was the mental. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.400 Yeah, Like physically it was challenging. It was demanding going down. 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.800 By the time we went down, my legs were toast 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.440 like they were gone, like non existent at all. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.280 Breathing good, No, not at all breathing. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.639 That was the thing we talked about. I was like, 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.160 I think that's gonna be the biggest challenge there was it. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.720 It was, Yes, for me, it was. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.120 And that played a big part in to my mental 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.040 challenges because I'm not as a at least as a 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:12.600 football athlete. You're not used to sustain high you know, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.440 heart rate, yeah, you know, you know, like so endurance athletes, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.320 people who run your marathons a lot of stuff, like 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.520 they're used to their stuff kind of staying up there. Mentally, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.440 I wasn't like I just like one five you know 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.919 heart rate for me, like, that's that's that's humping. Yeah, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.239 you know, that's humping. That's like getting off sleds or 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.960 running some sprints and then you take a break. You 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.359 know what I'm saying, You let your heart rate come 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.520 down when you're hiking for six to you know, eight 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.280 hours straight and your. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.360 Heart rate stays up there. Yeah, just kind of just 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:43.960 kind of plays a little bit on you, just a 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.320 little bit. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.960 Well, congratulations, congratulations to you. You look like a fan. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.280 Yeah, yeah, you've been John so long. He has three babies. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:53.800 Heard. 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.440 This is the right show for everybody that's watching and 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.560 list the kitchen. This is the right, right show. Isaiah's 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.960 back in the building. We've got Nick Harris, myself, John 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.800 Manchoda will be back next week. Uh but yeah, you 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.480 you climbed Mount Killiman Jarrow. I climbed Mount kill a 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:14.560 dad Jarrow. It's been great. It's been good. Babies are 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.920 doing good, everybody's healthy, MoMA's recovering. Uh where. Yeah, we're 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.520 kind of getting back to normal for a little bit 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.360 until they come home. So that's kind of the the 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.560 big waiting game now. So us are healthy good, they've 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.920 they've been healthy, and they've been great. Our our medical 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.240 staff is the best in the world. I would put 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.680 them up against anybody. But tell tell us about the 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.400 outside of that before we get into football. It's the 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.040 off season. I know everybody on YouTube is gonna say 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.320 talk football. We will, I promise, Yeah, but tell me 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.279 about the outside stuff. Because it wasn't just climbing a mountain. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.080 They went over there, and honestly, it is like my 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.200 mind didn't get wrapped around the climbing aspect until we 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.120 were done with the actual big like the purpose purpose work, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.440 and that was the reason why I joined up. It 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.680 was a Chris Long Foundation, So I know, Cowboys Nation 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.279 doesn't necessarily want to hear Chris Long name, but he 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.840 does some amazing work out there, and so it's a 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.160 Chris Long Chris Long Foundation and the Water Boys Initiative, 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.080 And what they've been doing for the past ten years 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.040 is they've been going to Tanzania primarily and digging water 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.640 wells for some of the communities out there, so community schools, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:24.359 super remote locations, and these are people who have literally 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.720 no water, like literal no water. I have a lot 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.200 of content I'm gonna eventually show and put it together 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.320 the right way to tell a story. But you know, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.760 we went to one village particularly, and it is about 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.920 three miles from the village. We went to the village 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.839 and they were super happy to see us, hundreds of kids, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.240 you know, other people in the village, and then we 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.440 drove about a mile and a half two miles away, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.320 and then we hiked about another mile down until like 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.239 this I don't even know what you want to call it. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.520 It was like a I don't know. He just looked 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.560 like a rock face at the bottom of a hill, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.760 and the guy wanted to. One of the elders in 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.240 the village started digging a hole pretty much in the dirt. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.360 Luckily it had rained probably you know, the day before 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.599 and that day earlier that day, he started digging a 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.240 hole and then all of the water started like seeping 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.919 up through the dirt, and like that was their water 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.680 source prior to the Chris Long Foundation coming in and 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.960 providing a water well for them, and now they have 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:26.919 sustainable water, solar panel, actual well that was the hole 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.840 was borrowed probably about it I think one hundred and 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.520 fifty meters down before they hit sustainable water, like actually 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.159 a good water source. And then they have the solar 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.720 panel when that power is it, and then they have 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.160 an actual tank system that filt trades sit and. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:40.600 All that jazz. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.560 So they have about four thousand liters per hour that 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.760 they have access to. Now that's awesome compared to compared 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.359 to they were dealing with. And you could see buffalo prints, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.599 bamboo print, baboon prints and all that kind of stuff. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.200 Around where they were trying to source this water and 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.680 this is not clean water. Sure if they even confined water, 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.479 the water is not clean and it's definitely not a 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.599 safe environment. Kids were not allowed to really remain in school. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.640 I mean, they're trying to do school, but it's like, hey, 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:12.080 we need water not only for sanitation and you know, bathrooms, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.440 but also to drink. And so they were spending you know, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.920 six seven hours a day going trying to find a 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.480 water source, find a water source, not even not even 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.360 just retain it, but find water. So now all those 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.520 hours are being poured back into those communities and to 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.000 those kids and those villages and those those those moms, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.000 because those are they're primarily the ones that go out 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:37.080 and do it. Life totally, life changing, perspective changing. Just 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.800 it's unfathomable the conditions that people are living in outside 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:42.960 of what we're accustomed to. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.120 But it was awesome to. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.560 Be able to go see what the previous co hurts, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.840 like this year's co hurt, you know, twenty twenty four 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.880 Conquering Keilly class that I was a part of. Next 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.160 year's class, we'll be able to go see the water 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.200 wheels that we were able to generate funds for and 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.960 see the fruition of that. So thank you to anybody 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.640 who supported prayed all that jazz. Your money literally is 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.520 impacting thousands down there. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:09.720 And I have. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.520 Pictures galore, videos galore of like just the smiles on 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:18.000 their faces and celebrations of just water, like like they 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.840 can literally go as simple just go and they can 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.320 turn on a tap now and get water. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:22.960 One tap. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.040 I'm not talking about like all the different we can 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.840 walk down this hallway and get water from so many 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.680 different sources. They have one tap that they're beyond grateful 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:37.520 for that they can now access for everything agriculture, bathrooms, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.480 and beyond everything that you can imagine that you use 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:46.040 water for. So it's it's definitely mind mind blowing, eye opening. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.520 Super happy to have been a part of it. I'm 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.280 super happy to be a part of it going forward. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.080 I'm definitely I'm not done trying to help with that 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.040 organization and the work that they're doing. But to see 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.080 the impact is one thing. You know, you hear the stories, 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.360 you see that you're here needs. You know, people compare 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.199 it to situations here in the US, and yes, we 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.920 have our issues, but it's not even Yeah, it's not 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.680 even in the same ballpark. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.400 Well, we're proud of you, Bud. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.240 Pretty such job throughout the time out there, and man, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.439 can't wait to see the extra content and the extra 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.960 stories that you're gonna put out there as well. Well, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.360 you haven't missed anything. I mean, the Cowboys haven't done anything, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:24.320 right Nick, I mean. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.040 I'm trying to think when the last time was Mike 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.080 Zimmer hired whenever the last time year? Okay, I couldn't 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.400 even last whatever you had come in. But yeah, it's 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.160 just been draft and getting ready for free agents combine. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.920 I watched the kind of jombine I was kind of joking. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.760 I didn't know. I know, I again, I did not 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.040 know when Isaiah left. Like it felt like it's been forever. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.839 News and notes I feel like is pretty loaded this week. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.760 I mean, you spent Indie. Last week in Indy, had 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.960 the NFL combine, But then you've got these reports about 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.160 Tyron Smith coming out, and there's a number of different 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.880 elements of how this offseason could be attacked over the 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.880 next really week and a half that we're going to 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.080 see what direction this thing's gonna go. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.840 Yeah, free agency starting here in about eight days. I 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.400 think we're going to get a pretty good idea of 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.720 what the off season strategy is here in about six days. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.800 Whenever that open, that's hampering period starts, and that's when 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.600 you can kind of see all the headlines flying off. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.600 So by this show next week, we'll have some big 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.760 stuff to talk about, I feel like. But yeah, you know, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.040 Jerry Jones talked about being all in at the Senior 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.040 Bowl and he was trying to rework the definition of 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.200 what all in actually means whenever. We kind of circle 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.360 back on that at the Combine last week. So I 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.360 would not I would not expect anything different than what 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.520 the off season has given the Cowboys in recent times. Now, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.520 last year, you look at the off season and they 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.480 go acquire Stefan Gilmore, they go acquire Brandon Cooks. Can 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.400 they make a move like that this offseason, Yeah, it 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.160 would not surprise me. I don't think though, when people 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.400 here all in and they take that for their own definition, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.560 I wouldn't think that's going and signing one of the best, 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.600 you know, a free agent linebackers and bringing in one 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.960 of the best free agent running backs. Now granted, this 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.760 is the best free agent running that class probably in 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.880 NFL history. Yeah, but I don't think it's necessarily signing 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.040 those guys at the top of the position. Nothing can 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.480 really get done free agency wise until this Dak Prescott 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.800 extension happens because you don't know what you're working with 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.880 on the cap. And Dak talked about it yesterday. He 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.240 said he feels confident that it can get done. He's like, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:21.880 it needs to get done because it helps the team 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.480 and helps the numbers and it helps us, you know, 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.280 build a better team. But you know, Jerry Jones said 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.880 last week that if it doesn't get done, they have 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.360 a way to work around it. So we'll see. I 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.920 think an extension gets done this week and they'll have 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.520 a little bit more cap room to work with in 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.800 twenty twenty four. But from the conversations I've had, no 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.600 one really understands what that what the off season could 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.200 look like until that number is finalized and what it is. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.440 What would that number look like in your eyes? 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:47.199 I don't know. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.080 I feel like it's really hard to see what it 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.800 would look like because there's so much leverage on Dak standpoint. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.360 I mean, he has all the leverage outside of wanting 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:01.240 to be here longer and wanting to be paid significantly 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:07.959 as well, so there's there's leverage there. I I don't 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.480 know what that number would end up looking like. 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.960 I mean, my perspective's changing. It's that I know. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.600 It's weird, right, my perspective's changing in regards to because 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:16.240 it feel. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.160 Like you your perspective never changed. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:19.520 I know, life happened. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.960 You go, you go overseas and you come back and 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.800 all of a sudden, you know how to change your mind. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:24.959 Our sex all of a sudden important. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.000 I honestly, I honestly believe that outside interior more impressive 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:29.800 than interior. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.760 When you get on a plane for over eighteen hours, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.319 you start thinking that, doesn't hear Bamber? 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.000 That flight home was like thirty six hours? 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.480 It was a huh Yeah. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:39.560 I was done. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.439 I don't want to say six hours. I don't want 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.120 to see another airplane. Yeah, and I was in I 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.320 was not in business class. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:53.000 Yeah. Beemer doesn't know what that's like. Yeah, yet, I'm sorry, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.880 happening and we had a great time. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.120 I ended up in at least somehow. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:00.080 No. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.440 I say that because the conversation obviously for a long time, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.160 and it's going to continue all the way into if 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.560 something happens has been that Dak has all the leverage, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.200 and he has a ton of leverage. I will hesitate 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.439 to say all because I truly believe. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.040 I don't think. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.160 Listen, I believe that mister Jones in the front office 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.200 are all in on Dak. When I say all in, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.320 I mean like they don't feel as if they have 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.960 better options. I'll say that, right, And yeah, when you 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.880 don't feel like you have better options, you obviously have 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.480 to do things, you know, to. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.720 Work around that. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.000 I don't think that they feel as if they have 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.079 to give him like a crazy extension. I really, I'm 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.640 starting to feel like they don't get I don't get 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.680 the sense that they have that sense of urgency. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.679 I do believe that they want to get that done. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.120 I believe that they want to move things around, But 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.960 I don't think that they feel like they have to 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.640 and and I think that they're maybe and this is 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.840 just my perspective, of course, right, I believe that they 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.720 might get CD done before. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:11.360 Dak if there wasn't a fifty nine million dollar cap 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.760 hit lingering over the top of this team, then I 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.760 think I might agree with it. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.280 I hear you. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.240 I think they have to get it done because of 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.720 the leverage that they've been pushed against, or because of 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.960 Dak's leverage that's pushed against it. Dak wants to be 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.280 here for the most part. I think the Jones family 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.680 wants Tak to be here, especially coming off of a 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.160 season where he finished second in MVP voting. People forget 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.200 about that because of the way that things melted down 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.960 against Green Bay. He deserves to be the franchise quarterback 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.680 with the Dallas Cowboys. It's how do you maneuver from 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.000 that fifty nine million dollar cap hit. That might be 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.720 the top priority right now because that's a lot of tax. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.160 It's a lot of money until you look at and 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.680 see how much Denver is about to be hidden. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.840 See but that's a that's an NFL record. I don't 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:57.520 any other dead cat. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.960 I agree A perspective again, I left that trip to 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:05.360 perspectives everything, and like seriously, like real talk, perspective is everything. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:06.880 So when you're when you're at the top of the 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.320 league and you're like, Okay, you got a sixty million 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:08.960 dollars hit, you're. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.520 Like, oh my gosh, it's like they got eighty five 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:11.080 million dollar hit. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.520 You like, okay, may mean not it's bad, right, like seriously, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.600 like like like it's the reality, Like yeah, it's it's 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.440 it's huge, and it can literally handcuff your team. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.080 And if you'll not for Denver for this entire sea Head, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:25.800 Denver screwed. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.280 Yeah, but Dallas has options. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.200 Now they're not the options that you want to take first, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.600 but you have options. Your your back isn't against the 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.160 wall like like you're you're getting cornered. Yeah, but you're 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.640 not in the corner i'd agree with, right, So I'm 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.880 not And I get I get I get it from 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.520 both sides. I truly get it from both sides. But 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.280 I don't think that Dak just has the Joneses against 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:47.760 the wall. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.440 Like I got you, I get what you know I'm saying, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.560 because there's a there's a part of the the Jones family, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.280 and I mean more importantly, this thing that's behind me, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.480 you know, that thing right there, that that star that 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.760 helps Dak Prescott so he wants to here. So that's 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.200 the that's the part of them elevated off the wall. 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.040 But it's not by a lot. I mean, I'm telling 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:06.920 you their backs are about and a half. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.920 But if you're the Jones, but if you're if you're 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.320 to Joneses and you're any front office. At the same time, 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.040 as good as he's been as a representative of the brand, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.360 as good as a quarterback that he's had in regular seasons, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.800 you you don't want to pay for what you haven't seen, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.520 which is playoff success. And I think I think that 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.040 aspect is really what's kind of giving me that hesitation 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.360 in terms of them feeling like they have to be 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:33.640 all in. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.880 I don't. I don't. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.600 I believe that there is a situation, as minute as 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.440 it might be, I believe that there is a situation 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.160 where they put him in a situation where he has 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:43.920 to play it out. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:45.520 This final year. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:45.880 Yeah. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.320 The way I see it is, you know, he played 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.400 on the franchise tag back and what was that twenty 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.600 twenty and twenty one. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.320 No, it was twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.680 And he suffered the leg injury and they as a 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.960 result got a friendlier deal for the team long term. Well, 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.840 he's coming off the season where he was second in 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.919 MVP voting and kind of helped turn around an offense 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.280 under Mike McCarthy, and he's the biggest catalyst in that 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.199 locker room towards success and leadership and everything of the sort. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.600 I don't see how the front office has any more 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.200 leverage than they would in any other situation just because 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.960 of you know that fact alone. I think he's gonna 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.679 go out there and ask for the biggest paycheck, and honestly, 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.399 he probably deserves it at this point. But you know, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.159 what does that look like five six years from now, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.879 then that's probably a good deal, you know. But I 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.840 think it's all again perspective on what you're looking at 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:42.760 right now. And I think if there's a way to 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.520 say fifteen on the cap hit or twenty on the 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.640 cap hit this year, then that gives you so much 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.160 more room to be able to work on the front 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.199 side of this contract. Because regardless on the back end 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.000 of this contract, you're gonna be paying a lot of 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.639 money in too, Deak Prescott, regardless of what if you 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.199 sign an extension now or if you do it later, like, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.640 you're still gonna be you still got this back here. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.639 So that's why I think you have to get it 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.639 done before CD, before Micah, because you need to know 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.840 what back here looks like. Yeah, but I think I 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.080 think if we can get that, if the extension can 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.920 get signed over the course of the next week. They're 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.880 going into free agency on what is that March thirteenth. 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.000 There's an opportunity to figure out what you're looking like 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.560 going into the off season. Really good linebackers available, really 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.280 good running backs available, if you can get one of 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.840 each other, either or the other. I think I think 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.520 you're cooking with gas going into the draft. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.720 Well, let's say our first break when we come back, 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.800 I want to talk about how Jerry did backtrack a 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.560
