• 0:11
  My name is Craig Wait. Thanks very much for joining us,
• 0:14
  and so glad to be able to say this. The
• 0:18
  producer of this program is here in the studio with us.
• 0:23
  He is none other than Cameron D.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Parker.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: The D on the birth certificate actually stands for Dallas,
• 0:31
  as as in his favorite football team that he refuses
• 0:36
  to watch on television that still provided thrills.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: In a victory last night, the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: No No, these past several days, the D has stood
• 0:44
  for disabled Cameron disabled Parker.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: But he's abled again and he's back in the house.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: How you feeling a lot better, Craig, A lot better
• 0:53
  than how I was feeling about the midweek mark of
• 0:57
  last week. Disabled is the correct term for where the
• 1:01
  shape I was in.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Now to take everybody back through this, actually start on
• 1:06
  Monday night a week ago, right, Tuesday, Tuesday day. All right,
• 1:09
  you tell everybody exactly what happened, because the thing I've
• 1:12
  been asked most by people.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of people your weapons we care about since
• 1:16
  what exactly did he do?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, it was had something to do
• 1:20
  with weightlifting, but I don't know all of details. So
• 1:24
  take everybody through exactly what you did or tried to
• 1:27
  do unsuccessfully and it led to the issues.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tuesday, before work, tried to get in a little
• 1:33
  lift session at my gym, Crunch fitness suit a park,
• 1:36
  great spot back day. I was gonna do some deadlifting
• 1:40
  and I'm already you know at this point just probably
• 1:42
  should just go ahead and stop deadlifting. But barbell deadlift,
• 1:45
  second second set just felt lower back. But that muscle
• 1:49
  pull didn't didn't feel good. And I've had some like
• 1:52
  hip flexer, lower back. You know, it's all connected issues
• 1:55
  before in the past. Probably should learn how the stretch
• 1:57
  would be a good idea.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But came in.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I got an icy hot at HGB before coming into
• 2:02
  the studio, and you know, I was limping around, very
• 2:06
  gingerly moving around.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I remember one specific moment you want, Oh yeah, and
• 2:10
  it was tough for you to get back in the chair.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: There wasn't great sitting in this chair probably was not
• 2:15
  the best idea for the next three four hours, but
• 2:18
  the show ends. My only goal is just skid, just
• 2:20
  get home, get in bed, ice pack, and.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Then tell everybody what happened.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was going to mention an inconceivable and then I
• 2:28
  got tied down. I didn't when you were still here
• 2:32
  and I was gone, and you went to the restroom.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so leaving, getting ready to go home to the
• 2:38
  go to the bathroom, and my back just gave out
• 2:41
  and I just collapsed on the floor. For probably about
• 2:42
  ten fifteen minutes. You're just laying on the ground, could
• 2:46
  could not move. Called my dad to see where he
• 2:48
  was at. He wasn't anywhere nearby, and I knew there
• 2:52
  were some people stole in the office when I when
• 2:54
  I left, so I was able to finally get on
• 2:57
  my feet somehow, and I could hear alex Or, our
• 3:01
  sales manager here in the Austin office. I could hear
• 3:03
  her saying goodbye to someone else in the studio. I
• 3:05
  called her and was like, hey, you may need to
• 3:07
  take me to the hospital if you can. So she
• 3:09
  came and helped me. We tried to walk down the
• 3:11
  hallway here.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention that she didn't actually have to go
• 3:14
  into the no.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I was able to crawl out at that point, crawl out,
• 3:17
  get up, and we were walking towards her car. She
• 3:20
  was gonna take me the hospital at that point and
• 3:23
  again back gave out, got me into a chair, and
• 3:26
  at some point my dad had called my uncle who
• 3:29
  lives up in Round Rock and he was on his
• 3:30
  way down actually to pick me up. Got me and
• 3:33
  got me into his car, and then how to get
• 3:37
  carried inside my house pretty much, and my dad brought
• 3:39
  down my mattress from upstairs, put it on the ground,
• 3:42
  and I was sleeping. I was in the mattress on
• 3:45
  the living room floor for probably about thirty six hours
• 3:47
  straight until about Thursday. But fortunately, through the help of
• 3:53
  modern day medicine, some steroid injections, muscle relaxers, anti inflammatories,
• 3:58
  I was able to once again walk again. So don't
• 4:01
  call me Lazarus, but uh we got and don't give
• 4:04
  you a peed test either. Yeah that as well. In
• 4:08
  no more deadlifting for Meah, okay, all right, well, I'm
• 4:11
  glad you're back.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Glad you and Camas with us this morning. Over're on
• 4:14
  campus for our Longhorns Monday presentation. As we brought you
• 4:19
  Steve Sarcasan's weekly news conference at Texas ou week Red
• 4:22
  River Rivalry, UH press conference. We brought that to you live.
• 4:27
  Mike card Bill Hart's joining me over there for that
• 4:29
  as well, So, uh, we'll have that and we had
• 4:33
  it in its entirety live obviously when it happened this morning. However,
• 4:37
  for those of you missed it, or if you just
• 4:39
  want to hear the recap of it again, we have
• 4:41
  it in our usual uh broken down into the Q
• 4:45
  and A portions of the SoundBite portions, and you'll have
• 4:48
  you'll hear that throughout the course of the program this afternoon.
• 4:53
  We do need to talk about two major developments of
• 4:57
  the weekend college football, which saw all kinds of chaos
• 5:04
  with five of the top eleven teams ranked in the
• 5:07
  country all losing. In fact, it was almost six Miami
• 5:11
  was down thirty five to ten. Unless you stayed up late,
• 5:13
  late late for acc after dark. Stayed up late Saturday?
• 5:18
  Did you do that, by the way, late Saturday?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Nine?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Did you?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I was after the game one of the Dodgers
• 5:26
  Padres National League Division Series. I slipping back and forth
• 5:29
  between the Miami California game and the Texas Tech Arizona game,
• 5:37
  and Miami was down thirty five ten at the half,
• 5:41
  came back and won thirty nine thirty eight over col
• 5:44
  So they avoided being the number six team or the
• 5:49
  sixth of eleven ranked teams to the top eleven to lose.
• 5:53
  But number one Alabama obviously fell to Vanderbilt. You had
• 5:58
  number four Tennessee losing on the road to an unranked Arkansas.
• 6:03
  You had a number nine Missouri getting absolutely boat raced
• 6:12
  by Texas A and m. You had tenth rank Michigan
• 6:15
  falling at Washington and number eleven usc losing at Minnesota.
• 6:19
  All of those teams lost, All of those teams suffered
• 6:22
  for it in the polls regardless of So.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: There's that to discuss. Then there was the NFL.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Crazy finishes in both games involving the state of Texas
• 6:34
  to NFL teams. The early window with the Texans and
• 6:39
  the Bills, and it looked for all the world as
• 6:41
  though the Texans were giving away their opportunity. They took
• 6:44
  on that it had to get through kind of a
• 6:49
  mindless grounding call penalty against C. J. Stroud and then
• 6:57
  following a great punt by the Texans to see Buffalo
• 7:03
  kind of go brain dead offensively and for three straight
• 7:05
  in completions from inside their own five yard line to
• 7:09
  punt it and give Houston field position enough where they
• 7:13
  were able to maneuver for Kayimi Fairbairn to knock home
• 7:17
  a fifty nine yarder at the gun, and the Texans
• 7:21
  are now four and one as they beat the Buffalo
• 7:23
  Bills in that contest.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Then you have last night. I know I don't even
• 7:30
  need to ask it, but you did not watch the
• 7:32
  game last night? Did you actually, Craig Way, Hey, we
• 7:36
  get some true confessions here. Did you watch the game?
• 7:40
  I watched the very final play? Okay, because I did not.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I was at ACL yesterday and I knew the game
• 7:46
  was delayed and got back to my friend's place, you know,
• 7:50
  getting a late night snack, and it's you know, it's
• 7:52
  almost midnight, and the ESPN Fantasy app, you know, they'll
• 7:55
  send you notifications when your players scores a touchdown. Right,
• 7:58
  I knew I knew how the game was going, but
• 8:01
  I got a notification saying, hey, Pat Friremuth just caught
• 8:04
  a seven six yard touchdown pass. It's like, man, it's
• 8:06
  almost midnight, but that means that Pittsburgh is winning this
• 8:09
  football game. And so I checked my phone and saw
• 8:12
  Dallas had the ball in the one yard line. It
• 8:14
  was second or third and goal. Put on Twitter. Saw
• 8:17
  Twitter was melting down because Dak Prescott almost had to
• 8:21
  jump on a fumble. Have been the third Cowboys turn
• 8:23
  over the red zone. Yeah, put it up on YouTube TV.
• 8:26
  Saw them call like three timeouts in a row, and
• 8:28
  finally saw Dak Prescott did gilln Tolbert to win the game.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: So you saw it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You actually watched it live the game the very last play,
• 8:38
  last last play.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Did not did not see live of Ceedee Lamb calling
• 8:43
  Dak Prescott's interception a subpar throw. Did not see the
• 8:47
  two previous turnovers in the red zone. I didn't see
• 8:50
  Brandon Aubrey's getting his field gold block. Didn't get to
• 8:53
  watch Kyle Allen play.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Thank god.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you actually still playing NFL football. He
• 8:58
  was in college of ten years ago. So but I
• 9:00
  did watch the final play. Okay, and I'll tell you what, Craig,
• 9:04
  I did.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It brought you back? Has it brought you back now?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Not even close? But I did feel happy for Dak
• 9:08
  Prescott that moment. Because Twitter was not very nice.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: All ever, carving him up left and right and the
• 9:14
  early ripping and all that. And there were a few
• 9:16
  people I knew that were doing it, so I went
• 9:18
  back in. They're like, what was he thinking of that?
• 9:20
  I texted or I responded to a couple of social
• 9:24
  media as well. He was actually thinking he was going
• 9:26
  to lead them downfield completing four or five pass or
• 9:29
  it was five of seven passes for forty eight yards
• 9:31
  on the game winning drive, that kind of thing. And
• 9:34
  that's listen, that's how it's going to be with Dak.
• 9:37
  You're gonna have to take the bad with the good
• 9:39
  and stop bringing up the sixty million a year. You're
• 9:43
  not paying it. Jerry's paid. I know you say, ultimately
• 9:46
  it comes out of the ticket prices. Are you really
• 9:48
  going that much anyway? Are you a Cowboys season ticket older?
• 9:51
  If not, stop it with the two hundred and forty million,
• 9:54
  it's going to be what the market bears, what what
• 9:58
  pro football teams are willing to pay their quarterbacks. And
• 10:03
  he believes in Dak, and so he's gonna pay him
• 10:05
  the sixty million. So just deal with that and understand
• 10:09
  that sixty million is doesn't.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Buy you what it used to buy.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's not going to buy you an infallible quarterback.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: It isn't.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But with along some of the bad moments like you
• 10:22
  saw early in the game, you get some of what
• 10:24
  you saw at the tail end when he was calm
• 10:26
  and directed and let his guys down it and hopped
• 10:28
  on the fumble that Rico Daldole had knocked out of
• 10:30
  his hands. With that flying through the air hit from Pittsburgh, Dak, listen,
• 10:37
  he put him in a bad spot.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm with you. He also saved the day.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And you if you're going to rip him when he's
• 10:44
  not doing well, if you're going to torch him, and
• 10:47
  it's certainly understandable, you have to also.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Give credit where credit is due.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You have to swallow hard and say, okay, yeah, but
• 10:53
  he did come through, But why does it have to
• 10:54
  get to that. That's understandable, it's understandable, but you have
• 10:58
  to give credit as well as the blame.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And if you're a Steelers fan, you probably wish you
• 11:02
  had Dak Prescott because last night, if they had a
• 11:04
  capable quarterback, they won that game. And then look at
• 11:07
  Lamar Jackson, Craig, I mean, he had a mind blowing
• 11:10
  turnover and overtime, and fortunately for Ravens fans and the Ravens,
• 11:14
  McPherson misses his field goal Justin Tucker makes his, but
• 11:18
  just a brain dead play from probably the MVP front runner.
• 11:22
  And then Josh Allen yesterday, who was MVP two weeks ago.
• 11:25
  He didn't look good against Houston. So none of these
• 11:28
  quarterbacks have looked I don't think super impressive.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Now. I watched Matthew Stafford miss two open receivers, one
• 11:34
  that was incomplete, another that was intercepted, and they lost
• 11:37
  another game they should have won. So they're not infallible.
• 11:41
  They're going to make mistakes. Understand that, and the sooner
• 11:45
  you understand it accept it, the better off you arm.
• 11:48
  All right, coming up, we're gonna hear from Long Worn's
• 11:50
  head coach Steve Sarkishan. We'll do that when we continue
• 11:52
  on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the zone of the
• 11:54
  iHeartRadio app.
