  Speaker 1: The following is a production of dallascowboys.com and the Dallas
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys football club. This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the official shave of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette. It
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: is Wednesday, August 26th. And it is time for some
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Cowboys storyline, Cowboys football. Let's talk about it. I'm Nick
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Eatman here. We already got callers on the line. They've
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: called in. 888-855-2297 is the number to call. You guys,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: if you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area or close to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: it or even in Texas, I think at this point,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you can maybe make it to the practice tonight at
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Ford Center. They had one last night open to the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: public tonight. Maybe a little bit more of a practice.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know if. I'm assuming pads will be on,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: not full pads, but at least more than what we
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: saw yesterday. It was a good spirited practice. We'll see
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: if we can get another one. Crowd is definitely ready
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: for football. You get two chances. Oxnard, obviously, is where
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: training camp is for the majority of it, but they
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: still say training camp continues here when we get back,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: especially when they have promoting these two open practices here
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: so people in this area can watch him and beat
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the heat a little bit. It's definitely indoors at the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Ford Center. Last night's practice I thought was good for
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: both sides. We got to see Caleb Downs with the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: interception and picked off, I think, the first pick that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: he's had in team drills since he's been here. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: could tell he was kind of ready for the interception
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: because he turned that into one of the best punts
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I've seen in a while is that now, I mean,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Brian Ingers, the punter, I don't think there's a competition there,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: but you know, that's something that defense has been doing
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a lot this year and, uh, you know, throwing the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: ball or punting the ball and, uh, man, get them downs.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: That was pretty, pretty nice punt. I think he picked
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: it off in the end zone, ran it out to
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: like the three or four yard line and then punted
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it straight to midfield. So nice but it was really
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: what it was it's not about that it's it's just
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: about the competition that we're seeing back and forth and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: then from there the offense kind of took over again
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and I thought Dak had you know some of his
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: better throws of the day you know and hitting he's
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: got a great rapport right now with picking especially in
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the red zone so that's something that I think fans
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: should be excited about is the red zone was an
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: issue last year for the offense and I We'll see
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: when the games start if it's better, but it looks
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like they've got some things in the works figured out
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a little bit there. If the offense is better in
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the red zone than they were last year, then the
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: offense in general has a chance to be a lot better,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: especially if the defense is as good as we think
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: it's going to be. I don't think it's going to
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: be world beaters or anything. I think they're going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: be a lot better. I think they're going to get
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the ball back to their offense and better field position
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: than they did before. So it might be a situation
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: where you might have less yards than you had before
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: because maybe you're not starting back at your 20-yard line
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: every time. Maybe you actually can get a three and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: out every now and again and get the ball closer
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to midfield and kind of play downhill. All right, let's
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: go phone lines. Chris in Saratoga Springs is first. Chris,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: What's going on, Mr.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Eatman?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I'm great. How are you doing?
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to comment on finally getting a pick
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: for Caleb Downs in the season.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: It was great.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: You stole my thunder on that one, but it was
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: good to see. I think we got ourselves a backup punter.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: We might.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: We might.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, if he is back there,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: be ready for a fake. Nothing against anger, but I
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: don't think that many people are thinking he's going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: take off with the ball. No, I think what it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: shows is athletes are athletes. If you're an athlete, you're
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: an athlete. We see it sometimes with these home run derbies.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You guys pick up a bat, and they're like, oh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: is this good, or how do I work this? The
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: next thing you know, it's flying over the fence. Now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: CeeDee Lamb, same thing. He tries to beat Chris Beam
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in cornhole. He gave him a run for a little bit,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: but you can't beat the champion. But still. Yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: What do they say? My dad used to give me
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: this saying, the cream will always rise to the top.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: CB is the top.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: He's the cream? Is that what you're saying?
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: The cream will always rise to the top. That's Chris
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Beam in Cornhole.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. What are we doing?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, Chris Beam, Cream. I mean, I think it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: a cool nickname, honestly. I mean, Cream Beam. There you go.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: No.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: No? He's like saying no. All right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Anyways, Chris, what do you got? You got anything else?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: No.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: The only other thing I got is I saw the
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: depth chart come out, and I saw Malik Davis back
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: down there, like fourth in the depth chart. So do
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: you think– I guess my question to you is, do
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: you think they're keeping three on the initial 53, or
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: are they going to go four for the running backs?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't know. Like– I'll take this off the air.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Chris. Appreciate it. I'll say this.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: One of the things that I saw, and if you're
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: just paying attention and just observing things at practice yesterday,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and I bet Chris saw this too because he was
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: down there. I think you were down there, right, Chris?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Were you down there?
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: I was not.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: He was not? Oh, okay. Well, quitting, I guess. He's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: not working hard anymore.
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: I'm kidding.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Were you on the podcast yesterday?
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I wasn't. I wasn't. I took the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: day off. No. One of the things I saw was Jerry.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Jerry was out there and he was walking off the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: field and he was kind of talking. He stopped and
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: talked to a player for maybe a minute or two.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And I was kind of like looking to see who
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: was that. You know, it looks like Javante Williams, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: it wasn't. It was Phil Moffa. And I don't know
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: what conversation Jerry's having with Phil Moffa. He's probably, hey,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you're doing good running that ball. I like the way
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you scored that touchdown, whatever it was. But it just
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: gets you thinking. I don't think they're talking about that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: You're not talking to guys that are not doing well
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: or not in the plans or whatever. I'm not saying
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Jerry's not going to talk to anybody that's not making
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the team. I'm just saying it just seems like he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: catching their eye and he's in there talking to them.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And you just kind of wonder how it's all going
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to shake out. And we've been wondering that the entire
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: time of training camp. Because Javante's on the team and
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I think Blue's on the team just because of what
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: he can bring and just the upside there, just the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: potential of what he might be able to do because
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: you can't teach speed. You can't teach that. So if
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you've got some traits like that, then you want to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: kind of get him a little bit more improved, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's worth the shot. So I think he's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: making it. I don't think that means he's the two.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I just think he's the guy. that'll make it. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: think Malik Davis is still better. Where does that leave Moffa?
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I wish I knew. Hunter Lipke is
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: also in the mix. And so because he is on
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: your team as a fullback slash running back slash H-back
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: slash tight end slash special teamer, that he's on the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: team too. So can you keep four backs if Lipke
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: is also on your team? Because four backs is Moffa, Blue,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And Malik Davis and then Javante Williams. Not in that order,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. I don't think you can. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: think you keep three backs, and I don't know if
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Moffa makes it. But I know this. Jerry had a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: conversation with him about something.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's go. Did we move the caller here?
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Who's next? Is it Louis? Is he next?
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Louis, what's up? You're from Oklahoma City now? You moved?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: Yep, yep, I got moved.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I got moved.
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: I'm going to fish into Oklahoma City now.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe I'll see you at some point. I go
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: up that way to Norman, go into Oklahoma games for
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: my daughter. Might do that here in a few weeks. So, anyways.
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: All right, all right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: Okay, okay.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: Not much, man. I was just trying to see how
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: it's going. Welcome back home.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: How you feel?
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: You ready?
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: You glad you're back in your own bed?
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Glad to be back. Glad to be in the mix.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Glad to be able to help out a little bit
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: around the house more than I have. It's hard being away.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Being away is hard. It's fun to go to camp.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It's fun to watch the team because that means football
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: season's close. But personally, it's tough. It's tough for anybody
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that has family. It's tough on the families. It's tougher
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: for them than it is for us. But, yeah, glad
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to be back. Glad to be back. But also, when
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: you're back, it means we're going to do more storylines.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk more Cowboys football because the season
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: is getting closer. Yes, sir.
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: So my thing is everybody's enamored with Barham, and I
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: enjoy watching him too. I mean, I know it's just
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: one preseason game.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: So I don't want to jump off the ledge.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I don't want to jump off the ledge yet.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: But now I'm starting to count heads. How many linebackers
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: are we covering? Because I know we went from– Not
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: having one linebacker last year, but I'm at, what, three, four,
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: and if you count Barron, five, like, how many linebackers
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: do you think we'll carry? Because I know you're going
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: to have to carry a couple of them but special
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: teams like, like Baron, but I mean, you got winter,
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: you got over Sean, you got Barham. And then is
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: there somebody I'm missing or, or how are we going
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: to do the count? And as, as always, I go
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: say on long, I'll listen.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: And I'll call it when I can.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Awesome. Thanks. Appreciate the call Lewis. Um, I don't necessarily
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: have Baron on the team right now. Um, Let's start
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: at the top here, overshown and winners. I think those
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: are your two starters for now. I think Barham will
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: get to a point where you can't keep him off
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the field. Maybe he replaces winners. You know, there's ways
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to do this because, you know, you'll have inside guys,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: you know, in the base defense. They'll also play, you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: they're going to play some 4-3, 3-4. So to do that,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you've got to have multiple guys. And then also in
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the nickel too, Barham will be in there. Shamar James,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know if. If he was mentioned, I think
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Chamar James is definitely in there for your four guys.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And then after that, you know, because you have outside backers,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you know, that are considered pass rushers. And so it
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: might come down to keeping Barron or Curtis Robinson or Leofowl.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: and I think Leah foul would probably get the edge there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Not only as a guy drafted that you want to
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: kind of continue to develop, but he's probably a little
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: bit better of a special teams guy. So if that's
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the case, then, you know, I think, I just don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: know if there's a way to keep both of those guys. Um,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Baron's done a nice job though. And, and if they
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: do keep five, I, I think he's got the edge over,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: over Robinson. Um, It feels like maybe I am missing
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: someone else, but I think that's kind of how the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: linebacker position is shaking out right now. All right, let's
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: go to Rick in Webster, Massachusetts. Rick, what's up?
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick.
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: How you doing? Welcome back.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: All right. How are you doing?
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: I'm doing good. First time I get to Collins before
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: training camp.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: All right. Yeah, you were part of the crew that
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: went out there. It was good to meet you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And there were some guys that came yesterday. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: didn't mention that earlier, but we had a little bit
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: of a crew here for yesterday's practice. It was neat
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: to see five people walking with the storyline shirts, walking around.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So that was neat.
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: So it was Randy and Joe and Sergeant Sue.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And then Joe from Stanford, he had a couple of
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: friends as well. We got some shirts on him, on
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: them and, It was great. Yeah, it was cool. Always
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: fun to see those guys. Randy, he's hilarious. Randy and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: his wife was there, Belinda. She's something else, too. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: it was really cool to meet them for a little
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: bit and got to see them. Maybe this is going
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: to be a tradition, too. Maybe we have a crew
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: that goes to Oxnard, a crew that goes down here
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to Dallas. Sergeant Sue did both. He double-dipped, which is great.
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he was the captain to get everybody together for
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: this one.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for this one, yeah. I don't want to step on,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you know, Dylan and Irene's toes there, too, because they create. But, hey,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: can't have enough captains. Anyways, what do you got, Rick?
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: Well, my thing is the third game, it's mostly going
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: to be people on the bubble or they're probably not
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: going to have, you know, like Schumacher or, you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: certain people like that that probably won't play, but everybody
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: else who's on the bubble will play. So it's just like,
• 13:28
  Speaker 11: I know there's going to be some battles between the
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: end of the linebacker crew, edge crew and quarterback and
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: safety crew and how the offensive line do.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: So you're right. I mean, this is a bubble game.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's, that's what it is. And you know, it,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: it's meaningful for, for, for those guys, for sure. You know, who,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: who makes the team, who doesn't, I mean, A lot
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of times people will say it's a meaningless game or whatever.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But just think about anything you do in life. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: think practice squad guys make around, for the year, $ 300, 000, $ 400, 000,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: something like that, maybe $ 400, 000. And the rookie minimum is
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: almost $ 900, 000. It's a half a million dollar difference if
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: you make the team or you make the practice squad.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm just kind of generalizing here. So some of
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: these guys can go out Friday night and be either
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: on the team or on the practice squad. Half a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: million dollar difference. You call that meaningless if you want.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: It seems pretty meaningful to a few of them. So anyways,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I know I'm kind of just having fun with that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: But that is the case for some of these guys.
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: You made a good point on Campanella last night when
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: you said that some of the practice guys might get
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: more playing time than the players on the team.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, and what I meant by that is because the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: elevation rules, if you're on the practice squad, we saw
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: it with, and I mentioned that, with a linebacker named
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Nick Vigil. He didn't make the team. Buddy Johnson made
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the team. Buddy Johnson hardly ever played because he was
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: inactive every week. Nick Vigil was on the practice squad,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: and he got to play more because they elevated him.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: So that's something that could happen with this running back
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: position as well, too. Who do you think you can
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: get to the practice squad is kind of another issue there, too. So, anyways,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: you got anything else, Rick?
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah, thanks. I'll talk to you guys later.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Have a good day. All right, you too. Good to
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: hear from Rick. And made the trek all the way
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: from Webster, Massachusetts to Oxnard. And it was a trek. Uh, I,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I can't remember exactly how many flights, I think it
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: was like five from, from Boston all the way to,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: to LAX. It was, it was, it was not just
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: a direct thing. He had like four or five different stops.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: It was, it was crazy. Um, one of them I
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: think was San Antonio to El Paso. I'm just like, wow,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: what are we doing here? But, uh, he made it,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: he made it. It was good to, good to hear
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: from him. Um, And it was good to see these
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: guys yesterday, like I mentioned there on the call. But,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: you know, Randy looks to be doing great and in
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: good spirits. And Sergeant Sue is doing his, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: trying to beat Dwayne Johnson, the Rock, with the guns,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: you know, showing the guns out there. And, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: good times. Good times for sure. All right, let's go
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Brian in Kansas City. Brian, what's up?
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Good morning, sir.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Doing all right, man. Doing all right. Hey, I was
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: in my car and I couldn't listen to the show
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: up to this point, so I don't know what's been said.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Has anybody mentioned Dolly this morning?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: We have not. Go for it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: What year was that? The last time she did the
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Thanksgiving Day.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: 23? I think. 24?
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Okay, so it was Dolly and then.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Post? Yeah, post last year. Okay. I would have thought
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: maybe two years in between, but yeah, 2024. Okay.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: And when's the last time you think those two people
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: were in the same sentence?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Dolly Parton and– well, we did a documentary on Thanksgiving
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: that just came out. They were in the same segment.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I know that. But, yeah, I mean, not exactly the same,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: but iconic in their own way. And– but, yeah, I mean,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Dolly's Dolly. I mean, that's what people kind of say about,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: you know, her and– anytime you can just kind of
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: call someone by their first name, you know, and just say, well, Dolly,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's, is there, is there another one? I mean,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you know, really? So she's, she's, you know, just a legend.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: And I, I, I, I told this story. I was
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: on the radio this morning. I told the story. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: did get a chance to ask a question to her.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: She was doing a press conference about hosting the CMAs.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: So I asked a question about the Cowboys and, if
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: she's got a connection to the Cowboys over her life
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: or whatever, you know. And she said, oh, yeah, we
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: love the Cowboys, and her husband loved the Cowboys. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: just the way she said, you love my husband. He
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: loves the Cowboys. And then she turned to her people
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: off to the side and said, actually, we have an announcement.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Can we? And they were like, no, no, no, no.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: And she was like, oh, sorry, never mind. She was
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: about to break the news right there that she was
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: going to do the halftime. That was back in, like, May.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: And she was going to break the news. And they
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: were like, no, no, no, you can't do that. But
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: that's ultimately what it was. My question almost had a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: viral story right there, but it didn't happen. But anyways,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: rest in peace to Dolly. She's definitely one of a kind.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt. That's exactly what I was going to
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: ask you, if you had any chance to interact with her.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: That was it. That was it. That's cool, man. But,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: you know, this is another example. Because doing our documentary
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: on the Thanksgiving show that went out on Deep Blue
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: last week, and there's another one coming out this week,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Tony Dorsett, that I think is going to be amazing, too.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: But the one thing we realized is that nobody knew
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: that she was doing that with the cheerleader outfit. Like, nobody...
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Charlotte didn't know. Really? No. They don't just pass that
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: uniform around to anyone. If you're on the team, you
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: get to wear it. They don't let anyone else do that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But it was one of those examples of... Dolly can
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: do whatever she wants. And that's what Charlotte said. So,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: if Dolly's gonna do it, then she did it. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: she rocked it. It was great. It was an iconic
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: moment for those, for that halftime show. So, some people
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: just have different set of rules. And, you know, that
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: was her.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no kidding. Awesome. Well, thanks for sharing that story, man.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to ask any questions today because we
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: talked for a little while and get other people in. Hey,
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: it's good to talk to you, Nick. Thanks for the story.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: You too. Thanks, Brian. Good stuff, man. All right. Let's
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: go to guns McGee over here. Sergeant Sue in Fort Worth.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: At ease, everybody.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: How you doing, Nick?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Doing well, bro.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Hey, um, I appreciate you, man, you and Chris. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: can't say that enough.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: The storyline, T-shirts got a lot of people's attention. We
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: were able to spread the word a little bit. I'm
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: not saying that it's going to make waves and blow
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: up or anything like that, but we did our best
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: to do our part.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: It was awesome watching you guys come in. I got
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: a funny story about that. So we're doing our show outside.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: The solo show for 30 minutes we did out there,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: it was pretty toasty. And right before the fans that
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: were walking in, and one of the girls from the
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: social media said, hey, y'all ready out there, getting ready.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of fans that are ready for you guys.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I thought she was talking about actual fans that are
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: going to be blowing on us because it's going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: be hot. She goes, oh, good, we need it because
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: it's going to be hot. And she goes, no, no, no.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: You've got fans out there. I guess she had seen
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: all you guys walking in with the storyline shirts.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man.
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, a lot of people.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. And I was going to point out, we
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: were handing some shirts out to other people. Like, this
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: might be a little big. It'll shrink. And then you
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: were how disappointed you were. Like, no, it hasn't shrunk
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: like I wanted it to. You know, you want it
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: to be like a small so you can just show off.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: As I'm doing right here, this is a picture that
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Sergeant Sue does where he sits there. He does the
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: trick where he pushes out the guns even more. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: everyone knows that trick, man.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Dang it, man. I got to think of something different.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: But, no, man, like, it really was.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: It was legit.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: And you guys, if you.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: Guys are local and you guys can catch a practice, man,
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: it's really just a different experience, man.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: It's a good time.
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: And, obviously, Nick and, you know, Chris being out there.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: Was really awesome as well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Just a sea of storyline shirts is hopefully what we'll
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: make happen one day.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: That would be cool.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but really quick, I'll jump off really quick. I
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: just wanted to ask you, I think it was Todd Archer.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: I'm really not a hundred percent sure, but somebody had
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: mentioned that Durant might get to get the nod over revel.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: And I was just wondering, you know, I went out there,
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: I've seen enough practices. I really thought revel had a
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: great practice and I'm sorry, a great training camp.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: So that was a.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: Little bit surprising to me. Was it surprising to you?
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: And why do you think that maybe he got the nod?
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: I'll hang up and listen.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: All right. You know, this is, Storyline is what it is.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I have story for everything. So every time I hear
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: about second and third cornerback, I think back to, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: think it was 09, maybe when it was a big
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: battle between Mike Jenkins and Orlando Skandrick. Who's going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: be two? Who's going to be three opposite of Terrence Newman?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: And I remember thinking at the time, Who cares? They're
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: going to play. This is not like the starting quarterback
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: and the backup, and this is not between Milton and
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Howell where the other one doesn't really play or is
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: not in uniform. Two and three, they're both going to
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: play a lot. So I've never really made a big
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: deal about this. I got asked this question this morning
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: on the radio, and I was like, well, I think Revel,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: but if it's Durant, like, all right, well– The next play,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Revel will come in and they'll both play. And, you know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I think that's one of those things that it'll work
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: itself out because they're both going to get out there
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: and play. You know, I think Revel is not an
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: inside guy. Durant is. So I could see if that
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: is the reason. I mean, if that is what they're
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: going to do, if Durant plays more, he's the starter,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: then it's probably because he's got more versatility to go inside, outside.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: He can play with some of his receivers definitely on
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the inside. He can also kick out, and he's not
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: just a slot corner guy. He can actually play a
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: little bit of both. That's what makes Bland so good
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: as well as Bland's done the nickel. So when you've
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: got guys... If it's third and eight and it's the
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: nickel situation or whatever, and Durant's out there, Bland's out there,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and Caleb Downs is in there, then you've got three
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: guys that they're not afraid to put in the slot.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that Rebel could not hold his
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: own or whatever, but I don't think that's a strength.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: So if that's how they go and they do it,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: it'll probably be for that reason. I'm not that worried
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: about it because... You're going to play three corners. You're
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: going to play four corners. The real question is, who's
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: the fourth corner? Is he even here? You know, is
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it Devin Moore? Can Devin Moore be the guy? He's
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: going to make the team. Fourth round pick's going to
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: make the team. Can they make him the fourth corner?
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Watch out for Amir Speed. The name to watch. Amir
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Speed is catching some attention as well. So that might
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: be one that they go. Let's go to break real
• 25:08

• 27:21
  Speaker 3: the phone lines. I do want to make a correction here.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: We said 2024. Dolly was 2023. That was the year
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: she did the halftime show. Laney Wilson did it, 2024.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Post Malone, 2025. So we skipped over Laney Wilson, who
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I got a chance to meet at a game last
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: year on the sidelines. I don't remember what game it was.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: It may have Was it Thanksgiving? It was not Thanksgiving,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: but I remember that game. It was crazy. My daughter
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: was down there, and she got to meet Laney Wilson,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: take a picture with her. But we were shooting our
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: pregame show right here, and it's always a fight down
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: there because there's people just crowding around. They're trying to
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: take a picture of the– trying to take videos of
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the field and all that. I get it. A lot of–
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: It's like fire code down there. There's way more passes
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: than probably there should be. But we're always, like, kind
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: of fighting for our spot. Like, hey, can we shoot
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: this shot, please? And then here's this lady with a
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: cowboy hat. Do you mind moving over? And it's Laney Wilson.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: And we're like, Miss Wilson, can you stop? And she's
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: so nice about it. Anyways, but, yeah, she did the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: halftime in 2024. And Dolly2023. So rest in peace, Dolly Parton.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Just truly an icon for sure. All right. Dylan in
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: North Port, Florida. What's up, man?
• 28:42
  Speaker 15: Hey, how are you?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: You?
• 28:45
  Speaker 15: I'm doing good. First off, I like what you guys
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: are doing over there with Keeping It Cowboy. I've been
• 28:49
  Speaker 15: watching some of your content over there. And I really
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: like it, dude.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, it's different and it's... I like it too.

• 29:06
  Speaker 3: content creator stuff, you see it everywhere. Everyone does it
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: and most people that do it. aren't here they don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: have the access that we have so you know nothing
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: against them because those guys can can you know they
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: they got their opinions and they they've following and they're
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: they're doing their things but you know we can do
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: it too i mean we we we can do it
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: we can i mean i think we can do it
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: better because we we do have a little bit more
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: access so that's something that we're trying to do a
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: little bit more quick form videos stuff like that and
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: opinions yeah it's.
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: You know one of the selling points of going out
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: to oxnard is hanging out with you guys after practice sometimes.
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: And like, that's what it feels like on, on that
• 29:42
  Speaker 15: show over there, just kind of hanging out with you
• 29:43
  Speaker 15: guys talking ball.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: So that's, that's pretty neat.
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: And you guys take questions from the YouTube channel to
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: the YouTube chat, which is pretty neat too. So yeah,
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: that's a good, good stuff.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Good stuff.
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: Um, I did a few 53 mans now and I
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: do one after every game. I'll do one again later
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: this week, but if, if, the listeners here haven't done
• 30:01
  Speaker 15: a 53 man yet, but.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Go try it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: Cause it's hard.
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: Like go pull up the death chart, pull up an
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: Excel sheet and try to figure it out. And once
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: you get to like 48, like good luck, dude, it's,
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: it's super hard. And a couple of things that I
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: found is caring for running backs. This kind of screws
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: everything up. So, um, you know, I'm wondering, we know
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: blue is going to be here. We know obviously Javante
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: and lip gear here.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: So like, I'm just.
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: Wondering, um, For Malik Davis, I just wonder if there's
• 30:27
  Speaker 15: a chance that he could be left off the roster
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: again and be the practice squad guy and then elevate
• 30:31
  Speaker 15: for Williams if something happens to Javante at some point.
• 30:35
  Speaker 15: When you look at the world of draft value and
• 30:37
  Speaker 15: traits and all that, unfortunately, it might be the odd
• 30:40
  Speaker 15: man out. I think Mingo is wide receiver five, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: we all want to keep Brown, so we've got to
• 30:45
  Speaker 15: have wide receiver six for Brown. You want to keep
• 30:48
  Speaker 15: Wood and all these guys, and so if you want
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: to do that, these offensive linemen, well, you've got to
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: make a cut somewhere, and that might be one. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: then just one other one I wanted your thoughts on
• 30:55
  Speaker 15: was Maris versus Sam Williams. I originally had Sam Williams
• 30:58
  Speaker 15: making it because he has a defined role, right, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 15: he plays special teams. But then they went and signed
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: Von Miller, so that knocked him down a notch. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: then now with Leofau, they only might need to carry
• 31:08
  Speaker 15: four inside linebackers because Leofau gives enough flex. He doesn't
• 31:10
  Speaker 15: really have a defined role in defense, but he can
• 31:12
  Speaker 15: slide in and play inside linebacker. He's a hybrid-edge kind
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: of guy, and Plus, they love his special teams ability.
• 31:18
  Speaker 15: So now I'm wondering with that, if Leothal has the
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: edge over Sam Williams. So, yeah, give your thoughts on that, man,
• 31:23
  Speaker 15: and I'll hang up.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, wait, real quick. Are you still there?
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Did you keep Sam Howell or not?
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: No.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
• 31:32
  Speaker 15: I know emergency quarterback is important, but no.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Well, thanks for the call. Here's why they probably will
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: keep Sam Howe. And it comes down to money, salary cap.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a guaranteed spot, $ 2 million. They're
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: going to pay him $ 2 million either way. You put
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: him on the practice squad, what's that, $ 4 or $ 5 million?
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: That's going to be $ 2. 4 or $ 2.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: 5 million.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: So, you know.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: It comes down to what's more valuable, $ 2. 5 million on
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: your salary cap or the actual spot on the roster.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: There's a line of thinking that having him here as
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the third guy will continue to push Joe Milton like
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: it's done. You got to throw that part in there too.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: When you think about Sam Williams... He's got some money
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: on his, I think it's 1.5 maybe. That's guaranteed. Nothing crazy.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: But there's other elements here when you're figuring out the 53.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: that you have to look at that. You need to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: look at guaranteed salaries because look at that. A lot
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: of times when they sign a player, a rookie free agent,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: they'll guarantee some of their salary. Brevin Spanford, half of
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: his salary was guaranteed. So it was a good idea
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: he was making the team. And so you have to
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: kind of figure those things out when you're looking at it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It's not just who's the better player here. And I think, Dylan,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: you did a nice job of saying– Who can do
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: what between this player and this player? Like Phil Moffa,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: for instance, he's a big, strong running back, right? Can
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: he play linebacker? And I'm not saying that he's going
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: to switch numbers and play linebacker. What I'm saying is,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: can he do those type of things for special teams?
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: He's a big guy. Can you tackle? I mean, Hunter
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Lipke does that kind of stuff. Can he do that
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: kind of things? And so... It's just all about adding
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: value and all that. There's a perception that people will
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: say that when you fall in love with your own
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: team and you say, well, this guy will never make
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: it through waivers. But does everybody have a Phil Moffa?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Does everybody have a Camden Brown? I don't think so.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not cutting Camden Brown. That would be silly to
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: do that. All he's done is produced. I mean, it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: all he's ever done. And I've heard people say, yeah, well,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: the speed's a problem. He only went 70? Only went 70?
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Jesse Hawley went 77. That won the game for him. Okay,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Maybe Camden Brown's not going to go win
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: the 4x100 meters for you, but... 77 yards to the one.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I think we got guys that can finish off the rest.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not worried about that. Patrick Creighton had
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: a really long career in the NFL as a receiver.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Wasn't the fastest guy in the world, but can certainly
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: get the job done. He's made plays all over the place.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: That's what you want. It's a guy that can go
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: catch the football. He's done that. So they've made some
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: great decisions this offseason. If they cut Camden Brown, I
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: would be shocked by that one.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I'm in Napa, California. What's up?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Nick. How are you doing, man?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 34:59
  Speaker 12: How are you doing?
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: Great.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I'm great.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I'm just kind of catching up with everything here. I've
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: been running around with personal things in my life, but
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: then also a little bit of a time switch, I guess.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: You guys are getting back to your normal shift with
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: the show and stuff. So just been trying to figure
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: out where I'm at. Just flew in from Hawaii last
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: night from dropping off one of my kids at college.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: So catching up with everything and i wasn't quite on
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: top of what was going on on the show already
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: because i was waiting online but it feels like someone
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: the caller maybe before me kind of stole some of
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: my shine as far as i wanted to talk about
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: a few players as far as if we thought we
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: could uh sneak those onto the practice squad to go
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: longer in other spots and um i i know you
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: got to follow the money on some of these players
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: for sure because when they sign it's like some of
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the money they get kind of almost solidifies them being
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: on the team or whatnot.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: But Sam Howell was one of them.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I feel like Milton has done enough to kind of
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: solidify his spot and make Sam Howell expendable in a
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: way of like, We probably need to go longer in
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: another play. So it's Sam Howell, somebody that we could
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: practice squad. Same with Anthony Smith. Is that a guy
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: you think that we could practice squad? I think he
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: had some juice, but now we're so deep at receiver.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: With Mingo, I feel like Mingo and Brown solidified that
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: fifth and sixth spot. They'd even push somebody else to
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: a fourth and fifth or whatever. And then I feel
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: the same way about Moffa. And, man, it's a night
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: and day as far as our receiver room and our
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: running back room from last year. And I just feel
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: like I think Moffa has something, but I'm not sure
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: that we have room for him right now on the
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: active 53. Like, you think that somebody, like those three guys,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: you think that those are three guys that we can
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: sneak onto the practice squad so that we could go
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: longer at offensive line, we could go longer at D.B.,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I just feel like, you know, the skill positions on
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: offense have kind of like solidified themselves in a place where,
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: you know, you got to feel good for the season.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: And just like, again, can we sneak some of these
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: guys onto the practice squad? And then one last thing, man, is.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I think all the hard work has been done as
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: far as training camp. I know there's still decisions to
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: be made. I don't want to cut any of those
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: guys that are trying to get on the 53, trying
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: to make the practice squad, all of that stuff. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: know there's probably a good six to eight players that
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: are probably still going to be decided on this week.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: But I feel like, man, let's move on to the season.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see anybody get hurt. I don't
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: want to see anybody get hurt. limped off the field,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: carted off the field, nothing. I don't care what role
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: it is they're playing. It's time to get the show
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: on the road. Man, all the hard work has been
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: done between Jerry, Shottie, the coaching staff. I mean, let's
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: start gearing it in. Week one, Giants, bring them on.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Let's go, Cowboys. Nick, want to hear everything that you
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: got to say and what you think about, again, sliding
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: some of those guys onto the practice squad and where
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: you think we can go long end with that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, I.M.A. You know, I just mentioned
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Sam Howell. I mean, he's got a $ 2 million guarantee
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: on the salary. So cutting him and bringing him back
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: or bringing him to the practice squad just is a
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: separate transaction. So that's going to be even more money that,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: you know, so if they decide to do that, like
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: that being said, they probably wanted Sam Howell to win
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: the job. You know, they don't have a guarantee like
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: that for Joe Milton. And, you know, you already have
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: this money guaranteed for Howell. So I think that was
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: kind of the plan was that maybe he would be
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: better than Milton, but he hasn't been. He hasn't been.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: It's close, but Milton does more things for you that,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: As far as, you know, I think a little bit
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: more of a dynamic type of player. I like what
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Rob from Vegas said last week when we did a
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: show in Oxnard about depends on what your team is
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: and your defense is. You know, if you need a
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: true bus driver type that's just going to, you know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: hold the fort down and all that, Sam Howell would
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: probably be pretty good at that. But if you if
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: you need it. a guy that can go out there
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: and score some points and play fast break type offense,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I think Milton could be that for you. But Milton's
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: looked really good. He's looked like he's progressed things. He
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: said something last night after the practice. He said something
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: to the effect of where he's evolved the most is
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: between the plays. So in the huddle, the processing of
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: the plays, the command of the huddle, I thought that
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: was interesting. A lot of times they'll say something about
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: a physical– play, you know, like I'm throwing the ball
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: here or I'm seeing the field better. He said his
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: biggest progression has been in between the snaps. I thought
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: that was kind of an interesting way to say that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to break here on Cowboys Storyline.
• 40:26

  Speaker 3: He's back. Albert, what's up, man?
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: Whoops.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: It's all right.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You were on there earlier. I thought you were going
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: to be calling earlier in the show, but you made
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: it back. Got a chance to meet you at the game.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: It was good to meet you. Came down right there
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: by the field there right before the game. So I
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: went to go find Chris and said, hey, Chris, go
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: say hi to Albert. And you were gone, man. You
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: were like, I'm out of here. So anyways, he didn't
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: want to meet Chris. He wanted to meet me. So sorry, Chris. Anyways.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: That's what he told me, man. I felt so bad.
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh, man.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: And you know what?
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: I wanted to get a picture. And I was like, ah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: you forgot that. I was just all starstruck. I seen you,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: I seen Jerry. I seen everybody there.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, my God. You're going to just
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: leave it in the same sentence like that? You saw me,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: you saw Jerry. Just like that, huh? Okay.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Well, it's true, man.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: It's true, man. You have a quick first step, Albert.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Quick first step. You were like, boom. I was like,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: there he is. Wait. He's right there. And all of
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: a sudden, you were like 27 rows up and moving. So, anyways,
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: hope you had fun at the game. It was a
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: fun game to watch, right? Oh, definitely.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: And speaking of that, you know, we haven't won a
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: game since September 25, 2017 in Phoenix.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: That was the first win, regardless of... preseason or regular season.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: And you know what? Honestly, Navajo Nation came out, Cowboy
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: Nation came out, and we represented it definitely.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: There's a lot going on. From start to finish, there
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: was a lot going on in that game. It was
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: definitely fun.
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: It was awesome, and I look forward to hopefully, I'm
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: going to be heading up there for a a couple
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: of games. So maybe we'll, we'll connect over there again too. So, um, um,
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: what I got, uh, is, um, how soon do teams
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: start evaluating the 53? I mean, you got, like I said,
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: you have a plethora of, of running backs. You got,
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, you got something, some, some parts of the
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: team where you're, you're heavy, right? So, uh, um, how, how,
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: how soon do they start, um, you know, anticipating the
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: 53 in order to make trades, uh, beneficial trade saying,
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: if you're heavy on wide receiver or you're heavy on
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: running back, you can go and, you know, get a
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: position of need. So, um, I want to get your
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: opinion on that and, um, go Cowboys.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Albert. Uh, How early are they
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: doing that? The start of training camp, if not earlier
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: than that. There are scouts. Every team has scouts that
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: are assigned to other teams. So the Cowboys have scouts
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: that have two or three teams that they're really focused on.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: So let's just say there's a scout out there that
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: right now, he knows what's going on with the Panthers,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the Titans, and the Jets. I'm just saying those three teams.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: So if somebody gets hurt at that position or they
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: sign someone or whatever, they might be in a meeting.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: It was like, hey, Bill, what's going on with the Jets?
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: What's going on with Carolina? They just signed this guy.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: What does that mean for the rest of their position?
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Are they going to cut someone? Where are they heavy? Well,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: they're heavy there. So somebody in the league is looking
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: at the Cowboys going, they got a lot of running backs, guys.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to keep all these backs.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: They got a lot of safeties over there. They got
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: some young safeties. I just don't know if this guy
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Clark or this guy Wood is going to make it.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: So let's look at the Cowboys. If we need safety help,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: let's look at them. Let's look at pass rusher. I
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to keep. Justin Houston and
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Sam Williams now that they signed Von Miller. So those
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: are the conversations that are happening both ways. And so
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: that's why, you know, you ask, you know, when does
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: it start? Oh, it started. It started. So teams have
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: a decent idea of what other teams have, what they
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: might be cutting, what they might want to trade. They're like, well,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: let's look at here. The Cowboys are going to cut
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: one of these running backs. Maybe they say, I don't
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: want to wait that long. Let's see if we can
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: get one of them for a seventh round pick. I'm
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: just saying, that's the kind of stuff that's happening. Tied
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: in might be in that mix there, too. All right,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: let's go Armando in Mexico City. Hey, Nick.
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: How are you? Good.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: How are you doing?
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Fine, fine.
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: Excited to just be about to start a new season.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Yep, definitely. It is time.
• 46:29
  Speaker 15: It's time.
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: So, welcome back home after a long stay in California.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you. What do you got for us?
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: So, Nick, who are you wanting to see this last game?
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Which player are you focusing in to see how he performs?
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: This one, this game coming up against the Saints?
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Friday.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: You know, I mentioned some of these guys earlier. I
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: kind of want to see, you know, we'll see what
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: the running backs do for sure. You know, let's look
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: at maybe a guy like a center. Nick Leverett has
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: done enough maybe to make this team. I mentioned Amir Speed,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: the cornerback. Let's see if Julius Wood, I don't know
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: if he can I don't know if he's going to
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: be able to come back. He was in concussion protocol,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: and it's a short week. I would have liked to
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: have seen him. I think Elijah Clark's going to be
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: out there. baron you know the linebacker let's see let's
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: see you know so these there's some guys that can
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: that can really help themselves let's not forget now i
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: mean he's on the team right hunter lipkey's on the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: team this game three years ago hunter lipkey was not
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: on the team uh for going into the final game
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: of the season he ran himself onto the football team
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: and he did enough things and now look at him
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: he's got a contract and you know he's I don't
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: know what number he's going to wear this year. I
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to wear 40 or not.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Who cares? But he's on the team. My point is
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: that somebody's going to do that. Somebody's going to go
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: out Friday night and do enough where you're like, got
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: to keep him, right?
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: I've seen it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: I can name players like Stephen McGee, Reggie Swinton, guys
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: that have done it on their last game of the year,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: and it goes both ways. You can play yourself off
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: the team. If you're on it, you play and maybe
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: don't play so well. So, there's a corner. I can't
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: remember his name. I know that I should, but I
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: can't remember his name exactly. But he was a cornerback.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: He was on the team. He played his way off
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: the team in that last game. So this game matters.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Well, see you next time.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: No, that's it.
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: See you next time.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: All right. See you later. All right.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Rob in Vegas. He'll be our last caller. Rob,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: what's up, man?
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nick.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: How's everything?
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 48:47
  Speaker 11: I'm good.
• 48:49
  Speaker 10: Uh, talking about Baham, I think he should start from
• 48:51
  Speaker 10: day one. I, I think I rather have a guy
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: who they all make mistakes, but I rather have a
• 48:59
  Speaker 10: guy who can make plays. He, he, he does remind
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: me of Rolando McClain and a little bit of Micah
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: and the sense of, he just looks different than the
• 49:08
  Speaker 10: other players. I mean, these are all top athletes and
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: he stands out and he's to me, keep him on
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: the field. I was going to ask you, if you're
• 49:20
  Speaker 10: going to keep five wide receivers, would you keep Mingo
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: or Brown?
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Brown.
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: Me too. And I get a lot.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: Of pushback from that, but I've seen Mingo for two years,
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: and he's done nothing.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. I mean, he's a veteran. And knock
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: on wood, I think we all know the scenario out there.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I don't need to go through it. We all know
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: the scenario where Mingo would probably be a better situation
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: than Brown. Okay? I mean, it's the same as your quarterback.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: You know, what do you need right now? Do you
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: need it for one game, two games, whatever? But if
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: we're just evaluating, I mean, if you cut Mingo, do
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: you get him back? Maybe. If you cut Brown, will
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: you ever see him again?
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: Probably not right now, no.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think so either. I think he's just done
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: enough where he can be on someone else's team. I'd
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: keep developing him.
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: Like I said, this works in Brown's favor because we've
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: never seen him in a real game. So your fantasy
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: is like, what could he be? I've seen Mingo. I
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: know what he is. He's just a guy. Running backs.
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: I think Malik Davis is more reliable, but I think
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: they're not going to give up on a guy who
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: runs like a 4-3 with Ballou. Unless they don't trust
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: him because of his fumbles, I think they keep the
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: four running backs. I would cut Moffa. Moffa is just
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: a guy I could find another.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: When you say four, you're putting Lipke in there, right?
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: That's your fourth?
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah. I like Hunter Lipke, but let's face it. He
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: doesn't do much and it's not his fault. We've been
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: saying for years, this guy's an athlete and I would
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: love to see him get more touches, but they just don't.
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: And let's say when you got pickings and you got
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: this guy, you got lamb and all these players, I
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: get it. So he's going to take somebody's roster spot. I,
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: if you know, I just wish they would use them all,
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: but That's my thing with Milton, yes. Keep Milton. Unless,
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: you know, I forgot who said it, but if you
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: could trade Milton right now because his stocks are so high,
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: do you know what they gave up for Milton to
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: get him?
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: A seventh, I believe. Or it might have been a sixth.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: It was sixth or seventh.
• 51:42
  Speaker 10: I mean, I doubt it's going to happen. But give
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: you a fourth for him, you know, why wouldn't you
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: do it? I mean, Dak's not going anywhere for another–
• 51:53
  Speaker 10: three years and.
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: Who knows, maybe more.
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: So with this guy, you may lose him for nothing,
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: but that's just my feeling. But yeah, I'm, I'm excited.
• 52:03
  Speaker 10: I'm going to Raider game tomorrow and I I'm.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: Going to be on the field.
• 52:06
  Speaker 10: I got field passes from a friend of mine.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: So I'm going to go reach out to Max and
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: see if I could get a couple of questions.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, don't get us in trouble with tampering, but anyways,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: all right, Rob, have fun. Have fun with wear your
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Cowboys gear over there. You mentioned that about Hunter Lipke
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't do much. I mean, I think, you know, it's
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: similar to like what a backup quarterback does, doesn't do much,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: but it just provides that stability. And the thing that
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Hunter Lipke does that I think is so valuable is
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: that when he goes to a game and they have
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: an injury or two at running back, Lipke is going
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: to help there. And he has a role as a fullback,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: but he will help you at running back to finish
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: a game. If they have an issue at tight end,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: he will help you at tight end. He's done that.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: If let's say Maris Leofal or linebacker gets banged up
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: in a special teams role, like he could maybe provide
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: if he's not already on the teams, he could do
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: something there. So he's got roles and he's got a
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: different kind of skill set that can back up multiple
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: positions there.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Great stuff. We got our 10 calls. Again, that kind
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: of seems to be the number here for this one-hour show,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: which is great. You guys are in the swing of things,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: and we'll get back to it. I guess we'll do
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: it next week. We'll still be there every other day
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: next week, so maybe next Monday. We'll get the schedule.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: We'll come out. We won't have a show Friday because
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: that's game day. but maybe back the following Monday if
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: that's how it goes. But stay tuned. Check the website
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: for that schedule because it always seems to change a
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: little bit. Is that right? I got it right. Okay,
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: it's going to be next Monday. That will be our
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: next show. I guess we'll do two, three shows next week.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Just two. No Fridays? We're not doing Friday? Next week
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: you have Friday off. Friday off, okay, which means Chris
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: has Friday off. Yeah, Friday, Monday, because we don't go
• 54:09

• 54:12
  Speaker 3: back on Tuesday. We're rolling. Thursday, Friday. Four days. Every day.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: Four days.
