- 0:13Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:19Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. What's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented
- 0:31Speaker 1: by Gillette. I'm Nick Eatman. It is Monday, November tenth.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. We had to obviously much
- 0:39Speaker 1: needed bye week, no Cowboys game, a lot of NFL games,
- 0:45Speaker 1: but that really wasn't the story of the week, not
- 0:49Speaker 1: only for the Cowboys, but really for the entire NFL.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I don't have to break the news to you guys
- 0:56Speaker 1: of what happened. Everyone is aware at this point. Cowboys
- 1:00Speaker 1: for a tragic loss with Marshawn Needlands passing on Wednesday night,
- 1:07Speaker 1: and we woke up Thursday morning to that news. The
- 1:11Speaker 1: shows were canceled for the bye week, but I'm not
- 1:15Speaker 1: sure what would have happened, honestly if if they weren't,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I don't know how if a game would were to
- 1:21Speaker 1: be played. It was the perfect time for the for
- 1:24Speaker 1: the bye week. I know everyone's gonna gonna talk about
- 1:29Speaker 1: this when when they call and and and I'll just
- 1:31Speaker 1: say real quick, real quickly for me, you know, I
- 1:35Speaker 1: didn't have I didn't have a relationship really with Marshawn.
- 1:40Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't talk to the media a lot.
- 1:42Speaker 1: He wasn't he wasn't in there a whole lot. But
- 1:46Speaker 1: one thing that I have said, and I'll say it again,
- 1:49Speaker 1: he uh, he had a million dollar smile. I mean
- 1:54Speaker 1: he had He had the biggest smile ever and and
- 1:58Speaker 1: he was always smiling. So when you when you factor
- 2:04Speaker 1: that in with with what happened, it certainly is a
- 2:08Speaker 1: a tragic situation. And and you never know what these
- 2:11Speaker 1: guys are going through, or what anyone's going through for
- 2:13Speaker 1: that matter. And so I know everyone said it, and
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, ask for help and and and and make
- 2:20Speaker 1: sure that you check on your on your friends and
- 2:23Speaker 1: loved ones. And this is one that you know, this
- 2:26Speaker 1: Cowboys football team is going to have a hard time
- 2:29Speaker 1: kind of getting over here. And they won't. They're gonna
- 2:32Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to kind of navigate
- 2:35Speaker 1: their their emotions and feelings and and and have a
- 2:39Speaker 1: job to do. But you know, I say that I understand,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you know, nothing's bigger than than life itself. But but
- 2:46Speaker 1: you know, moving forward. Uh, it's certainly not going to
- 2:49Speaker 1: be easy. And marshawn neland obviously will be very missed,
- 2:53Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll talk about that, as we will
- 2:56Speaker 1: with with all the calls. So that being said, let's
- 3:00Speaker 1: are often. Let's go to the call we got Brian
- 3:02Speaker 1: in Kansas City is first. Brian, what's up?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Good morning, sir, Good morning.
- 3:07Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 3:08Speaker 4: Oh man? You know, it's a sharp, sharp reminder of
- 3:13Speaker 4: what's important in life. So I hope you got to
- 3:17Speaker 4: go to lunch with your daughter on your days off,
- 3:20Speaker 4: and I did spend spend the time with your family
- 3:23Speaker 4: and see the real important things. I you know, I
- 3:27Speaker 4: think the hardest the hardest part for people who have
- 3:32Speaker 4: any kind of struggles like this is I know everybody says,
- 3:38Speaker 4: just ask for help. It's not that easy. Right when
- 3:41Speaker 4: I got out, I did ask for help, and I
- 3:44Speaker 4: didn't get it. Literally, I called an organization whose primary
- 3:48Speaker 4: purposes mental health, and I got nothing. I had to
- 3:55Speaker 4: learn to be my own advocate and really work at it.
- 3:58Speaker 4: And I did get help, you know, obviously. But I
- 4:02Speaker 4: knew the darkness was coming. I knew I knew something
- 4:05Speaker 4: wasn't right, and eventually I had to leave Florida, came
- 4:10Speaker 4: to Kansas City to a charity that helps veterans, and
- 4:14Speaker 4: they got me connected and eventually got to the mental
- 4:19Speaker 4: health department and got what I needed. And let me
- 4:23Speaker 4: just say, I got a lot of help when I
- 4:24Speaker 4: got help. I mean, like a like a thundershower of help. So,
- 4:31Speaker 4: but sometimes you might not get help on the first
- 4:34Speaker 4: try of just asking. So I would say on the
- 4:36Speaker 4: other side of ask for help, is we need to listen.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true to.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Our families, to our friends, to our coworkers. Try not
- 4:48Speaker 4: to be so busy in my life that I don't
- 4:51Speaker 4: listen and I don't notice. So that's the thing that
- 4:55Speaker 4: I you know, that I had to learn, and I
- 4:57Speaker 4: just I've just devastated to hear that. It's that poor
- 5:00Speaker 4: young man didn't get didn't get a second chance at this,
- 5:07Speaker 4: and you know, he, like everybody, wish the best for
- 5:11Speaker 4: his family and his girlfriend and the baby that's coming.
- 5:15Speaker 4: And I think that's it for me today.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Nick.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Thank all right, Brian, thank you for the call, and
- 5:23Speaker 1: and I'm glad that you got the help that you needed.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And I'm sure every with everyone it's a it's a
- 5:29Speaker 1: you know, it's an everyday thing.
- 5:31Speaker 6: I know it.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You know. I've heard people say this kind of, you know,
- 5:36Speaker 1: somewhat joking when they talk about sports and injuries, like well,
- 5:40Speaker 1: he's day to day. Well, you know, aren't we all?
- 5:42Speaker 1: You know, and and that's that's really cliche, but I
- 5:46Speaker 1: mean it is. I mean, we're all. It is day
- 5:49Speaker 1: to day and everyone's going through they're different things. But
- 5:52Speaker 1: I think that that what you said, Brian is very
- 5:56Speaker 1: very well said, because it's one thing to ask, ask
- 6:02Speaker 1: the question how you doing? But it's another thing to listen,
- 6:06Speaker 1: and you know it. No one does that. No, I
- 6:11Speaker 1: mean most people went you know. I mean I know
- 6:13Speaker 1: I do. I might be going through something that's really
- 6:16Speaker 1: like really upsetting to me or whatever, and I walked
- 6:18Speaker 1: by someone like, hey, what's up. How you doing? I'm like,
- 6:20Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm not good, but I say I am,
- 6:23Speaker 1: you know, and that's what we all do. So anyways,
- 6:26Speaker 1: let's keep going. Irene in Falls Church, Virginia, Irene, what's up?
- 6:30Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. I don't know how you guys are
- 6:32Speaker 7: doing in there. I can't imagine, yeah, but I know,
- 6:37Speaker 7: I mean, I don't feel like I'm doing well with this,
- 6:39Speaker 7: But so if you guys are actually in the building
- 6:41Speaker 7: with him, you know, and kid teammates and all that,
- 6:46Speaker 7: I can't imagine that. So I'm not gonna talk about
- 6:48Speaker 7: football obviously.
- 6:52Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 6:53Speaker 7: I thought I had some like things planned to say,
- 6:55Speaker 7: but it's just such a difficult thing to talk about.
- 6:58Speaker 7: I know that Dylan called in a couple of weeks
- 7:00Speaker 7: ago and when we were kind of having our vibe
- 7:02Speaker 7: show about how we're family and all that, and somebody
- 7:04Speaker 7: else called last week and called it neighborhood vibes. He
- 7:10Speaker 7: was serious about me and him and Sue listening to people,
- 7:14Speaker 7: and I have just heard what you were saying, like
- 7:16Speaker 7: we will listen. I spent a lot of the last
- 7:19Speaker 7: few days reaching out to people and having people reach
- 7:22Speaker 7: out to me to have those conversations where we do
- 7:25Speaker 7: try to take care of each other, because yeah, that's
- 7:29Speaker 7: that's difficult, and I've been through this three times with
- 7:33Speaker 7: a cousin, a coworker, and an ex. It doesn't get easier.
- 7:38Speaker 7: But I don't know, It's just we do have to
- 7:42Speaker 7: take care of each other. We have to mean it,
- 7:45Speaker 7: and not everyone's built for that, but I'm putting it
- 7:48Speaker 7: out there that the three of us are seriously mean
- 7:51Speaker 7: it for this community. So if somebody needs that support,
- 7:56Speaker 7: just just ask. We were serious. And I don't know
- 8:01Speaker 7: with the team. I I don't know what's going to
- 8:03Speaker 7: happen with them. I don't really care what their record
- 8:06Speaker 7: is going forward. I just want them to be okay.
- 8:10Speaker 7: And yeah, I don't I don't have much more to
- 8:14Speaker 7: say than that, but but I'll talk to you later.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. And obviously you know this,
- 8:21Speaker 1: this hits. This HiT's hard to everyone. You can be
- 8:24Speaker 1: in the building here, or you can be in Virginia,
- 8:28Speaker 1: you know, thousands of miles away, and it's and it's
- 8:32Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's tough, you know, because I'm not
- 8:38Speaker 1: a psychologist, you know, or a psychiatrist or anything. I'm
- 8:42Speaker 1: the furthest thing from that. But I know when you're
- 8:46Speaker 1: watching a movie and something sad happens, Like for me,
- 8:49Speaker 1: like if I'm watching a movie and somebody and there's
- 8:52Speaker 1: a kid that that's sick or hurt or something happens,
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'm not watching that. I'm not watching kids that are
- 8:58Speaker 1: getting hurt or injured or anything like that or sad,
- 9:00Speaker 1: even because it relates to something that that I you know,
- 9:05Speaker 1: I'm I've got kids, I've got several of them, you know.
- 9:08Speaker 1: And so so when things like this happen, people are
- 9:13Speaker 1: probably relating to their own situation or someone else that
- 9:17Speaker 1: they know. And so you didn't have to know Marshawn
- 9:20Speaker 1: Neland but but you know someone who's twenty four, you know,
- 9:28Speaker 1: you know someone that's a kid? All right? A Gabe
- 9:31Speaker 1: and Knox Fultacy. What's up, Gabe?
- 9:36Speaker 9: Uh yeah, just heck when what you're saying, what Brian
- 9:42Speaker 9: saying too, That was a really good point about we
- 9:45Speaker 9: need to listen also and be be present for those
- 9:49Speaker 9: people in our lives, our friends and family.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:54Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 9:54Speaker 9: When I was one of my best friends from high school,
- 9:56Speaker 9: his dad committed suicide when he was in Thank You
- 10:00Speaker 9: seventeen or eighteen at the time when his dad did
- 10:03Speaker 9: And it's just it's rough. So I was wanting. I
- 10:10Speaker 9: had a thought about thinking about what we can what
- 10:14Speaker 9: we do in our everyday lives, what kind of activities,
- 10:19Speaker 9: what kind of things we could do that are stress
- 10:22Speaker 9: relieving and therapeutic for ourselves. Is kind of a prophylactic.
- 10:27Speaker 9: I guess in medicine, we say you know where it's
- 10:29Speaker 9: like you do it ahead of time, before he gets
- 10:32Speaker 9: to the You do it as a you know, when
- 10:36Speaker 9: you're stable and doing well to kind of maintain that
- 10:39Speaker 9: stability before you get to that to that bad place.
- 10:41Speaker 9: And so I guess I was wondering, Nick, what kind
- 10:44Speaker 9: of things you might do that are therapeutic for you
- 10:47Speaker 9: mentally stress relieving that you can go to. For me,
- 10:52Speaker 9: I'll answer that and then i'll take your question off
- 10:54Speaker 9: the air. For me, it's a I mean, I have
- 10:56Speaker 9: a nine year old boy, so that's spending time with
- 11:00Speaker 9: him is is stressful, even with my wife, you know,
- 11:03Speaker 9: spent in family time.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But also.
- 11:07Speaker 9: I guess I do martial arts sparring with friends. That's
- 11:14Speaker 9: it's actually really therapeutic to in a friendly setting like
- 11:17Speaker 9: get hit and hit. So that's stressfully for me. All right,
- 11:22Speaker 9: I'll take a question off her think, Nick.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't do that. I'd be kicked
- 11:29Speaker 1: in the face obviously by doing that, and then it
- 11:31Speaker 1: wouldn't be cool. Then it wouldn't be so friendly. Then
- 11:34Speaker 1: I'll be like, well, you know, I'm sure that would
- 11:35Speaker 1: happen to me. You know, I don't. I don't know,
- 11:41Speaker 1: but you know, I think for a lot of y'all,
- 11:48Speaker 1: nobody that calls here, you know, obviously works for the Cowboys.
- 11:51Speaker 1: I mean, like this is what they do. This is
- 11:54Speaker 1: this is there. They have a job, have a family probably,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and their therapy things could be like watching sports or
- 12:03Speaker 1: or their fandom of the Dallas Cowboys or any other team.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Some might say that that's kind of what they do,
- 12:10Speaker 1: you know, when they think about life or their job
- 12:13Speaker 1: or their boss or whatever it is, they call in
- 12:16Speaker 1: the show and let's talk about the linebackers that need
- 12:19Speaker 1: to get better or the you know, or the trade
- 12:21Speaker 1: that was made or whatever it is, you know, And
- 12:24Speaker 1: I'm no different than that. I just it's it's the
- 12:26Speaker 1: Cowboys and my job. But i' might do the same thing.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm I'm a fan of you guys have know. I'm
- 12:30Speaker 1: an avid Arkansas razorback fan, and I watch you know,
- 12:34Speaker 1: it's not been a good year football. I mean basketball
- 12:36Speaker 1: season has begun, you know for me. But but you know,
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'm doing that that kind of stuff, you know what
- 12:41Speaker 1: I mean. And it's nothing to do with my job
- 12:44Speaker 1: really or anything like that. So you know, I'm not
- 12:47Speaker 1: going doing martial arts getting kicked around. But but I
- 12:51Speaker 1: you know, I understand that, and maybe it could do
- 12:55Speaker 1: a little bit more, all right, Chris and Saratoga Springs,
- 12:58Speaker 1: New York is next.
- 13:00Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how are you? Hey?
- 13:02Speaker 1: I'm good, Chris, how are you?
- 13:04Speaker 11: Yeah? Just even thinking about it, listened to it is
- 13:06Speaker 11: getting choked up. I just feel so bad for the family,
- 13:10Speaker 11: the Cowboys, family, everybody involved. We need to do a
- 13:14Speaker 11: better job of recognizing this, listening just talking to everybody
- 13:20Speaker 11: about it. It's something that it happens a lot, to
- 13:24Speaker 11: be honest, and we need to do a better job
- 13:26Speaker 11: in society of recognizing it. Listening to these these kids,
- 13:30Speaker 11: it's heartbreaking for somebody so young for this to happen.
- 13:37Speaker 11: I just feel bad. It's it's awful. Nothing really else
- 13:40Speaker 11: you can say, but just just heartbreaking. I do have
- 13:45Speaker 11: a question for you on the football side of the things.
- 13:49Speaker 11: I think, in my opinion, we have one of the
- 13:51Speaker 11: best leaders for something like this to happen with in
- 13:54Speaker 11: Dak Prescott. He's dealt with it. He's a leader, He's
- 13:58Speaker 11: built for this. Also, I think Shody is the right
- 14:02Speaker 11: coach to have in the situation to help these players out.
- 14:05Speaker 11: And what are your thoughts on on Dak and his
- 14:10Speaker 11: leadership as far as this sore situation, do you agree
- 14:13Speaker 11: with me that you know he is the right guy
- 14:16Speaker 11: for the.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Job one the right guy for the job because you know,
- 14:22Speaker 1: every pass that he throws, every interception, every loss he
- 14:26Speaker 1: takes as a football player is nothing close to the
- 14:30Speaker 1: loss that he's dealt with in his life and with
- 14:33Speaker 1: with losing his mom to cancer. So as everyone wants
- 14:38Speaker 1: him to be, you know, better at this or that
- 14:42Speaker 1: or whatever, he's gone through the worst possible thing. So
- 14:46Speaker 1: he's built for this so he can come back from
- 14:48Speaker 1: this because I mean, are you kidding me? Losing to
- 14:51Speaker 1: the Eagles? I mean, I've dealt with this. I'll be
- 14:55Speaker 1: fine with that. Let's, you know, put everything in perspective.
- 14:57Speaker 1: He's perfect for this because he's so mentally strong and
- 15:04Speaker 1: and and you know, did you have another question, Chris
- 15:07Speaker 1: or anything like that?
- 15:08Speaker 11: Yeah, I just got one quick one on what's your
- 15:10Speaker 11: thoughts on uh film Afa? Do you think he's gonna
- 15:14Speaker 11: open the window of being active coming up moving forward
- 15:16Speaker 11: in the running back room. That's the only other question
- 15:18Speaker 11: I had.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, thanks thanks for the call. I I no,
- 15:24Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about about that. I
- 15:27Speaker 1: mean I feel like probably not right now. I mean,
- 15:31Speaker 1: I think they like what they're seeing in Leig Davis.
- 15:34Speaker 1: They're going to try to get Jayden Blue involved here more.
- 15:39Speaker 1: But but I don't I don't necessarily see that being
- 15:42Speaker 1: somebody somebody that they were looking at. Let's what you
- 15:46Speaker 1: said about Dak is right, he is. He's an outstanding leader.
- 15:50Speaker 1: He's he's just he's just naturally born leader. I mean,
- 15:54Speaker 1: that's that's what he is. This weekend he was back
- 16:00Speaker 1: at his hometown and Louisiana they were i think naming
- 16:03Speaker 1: the field after him, Dak Prescott Field, I believe, And
- 16:07Speaker 1: he was there and he spoke to uh, Chris, Chris
- 16:12Speaker 1: has this clip? Chris? Can you can you set it
- 16:15Speaker 1: up for us? I mean, is this this is the
- 16:16Speaker 1: one where he's speaking to the team. Now, this is
- 16:19Speaker 1: the one he spoke on the field in the field interviewed. Yeah, okay,
- 16:23Speaker 1: I saw one where he's actually speaking to the team,
- 16:26Speaker 1: which is amazing too. This is his interview on the
- 16:28Speaker 1: field Thursday, just a few hours after you know, learning
- 16:33Speaker 1: of Marshan's passing.
- 16:36Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been it's been a very tough day. As
- 16:38Speaker 12: you said, it started early this morning, finding out the
- 16:40Speaker 12: news tragic loss. I heard heavy, heavy heart today. I
- 16:45Speaker 12: heard from Marshaan. I heard for his family, I heard
- 16:49Speaker 12: for his girlfriend, I heard for every single one of
- 16:52Speaker 12: my teammates. Is this a pain that you don't wish
- 16:56Speaker 12: upon anybody?
- 16:58Speaker 8: You?
- 16:58Speaker 12: You you wish none of us had to go through this,
- 17:02Speaker 12: You wish mar Sean didn't have to go through what
- 17:03Speaker 12: he had he went through, And just thankful for each
- 17:07Speaker 12: moment we have in this life and don't take it
- 17:09Speaker 12: for granted, and hugging love on those that you do.
- 17:13Speaker 12: It's okay to feel however you're feeling. And I'll tell
- 17:15Speaker 12: you first foremost, I don't always have the answers, And
- 17:17Speaker 12: to day is not a day that I felt like
- 17:20Speaker 12: I had answers triggering day for for many reasons, on
- 17:26Speaker 12: top of just knowing that this was this was I
- 17:28Speaker 12: had to day and hard to balance my emotions today,
- 17:31Speaker 12: And not not a day that I have words other
- 17:35Speaker 12: than I love you for for friends and families and
- 17:36Speaker 12: people who may be struggling.
- 17:38Speaker 7: What are you?
- 17:38Speaker 13: What are you gonna say to your teammates for this?
- 17:41Speaker 12: Yeah, that I love them. Obviously, we had a zoom
- 17:44Speaker 12: call and a few people that that spoke did an
- 17:47Speaker 12: amazing job. But as I said, it's to tell that
- 17:51Speaker 12: person how I feel about them when I see them.
- 17:54Speaker 12: Tough moment for this team. As I said, I've filled
- 17:57Speaker 12: and heard for everybody that's involved in this and mar
- 18:00Speaker 12: Shaun's families and loved with yes.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And thanks Chris for for pulling that. That was on
- 18:06Speaker 1: the field, you know, I think right before or after
- 18:10Speaker 1: a ceremony there, so that's where you kind of hear
- 18:13Speaker 1: some of that going on in the background. But yeah,
- 18:17Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they had a zoom call and and
- 18:19Speaker 1: I have no doubt that Dak was one of the
- 18:21Speaker 1: leaders of that and and it spoke to that. I'm
- 18:23Speaker 1: sure Solomon Thomas was was involved with that too, and
- 18:28Speaker 1: so I don't know all the details of that, but
- 18:31Speaker 1: but you know that it's going to be you know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: some of those guys and some other leaders that really
- 18:35Speaker 1: are going to have to you know, carry this this
- 18:38Speaker 1: team even more and and and and get everyone kind
- 18:41Speaker 1: of in the right space to to to kind of
- 18:45Speaker 1: get that transition back to football. It's not it's not easy, obviously,
- 18:49Speaker 1: but that's you know, that's what that's what they have
- 18:52Speaker 1: to do. And and and you know, I'm sure that
- 18:54Speaker 1: they'll they'll get there. I've seen this, you know, a
- 18:58Speaker 1: couple of times last ten twelve years. I mean Jerry
- 19:05Speaker 1: Brown's passing with the Josh Brent situation. That was twenty twelve,
- 19:10Speaker 1: though Jason Garrett did an amazing job of rallying that team.
- 19:13Speaker 1: They won two games in a row, did not make
- 19:16Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then twenty twenty, the strength coach Marcus Paul
- 19:22Speaker 1: passed away suddenly all right before the Thanksgiving Day game,
- 19:28Speaker 1: and they didn't play well in that game. They lost
- 19:31Speaker 1: to in a row. Then they won a couple. But
- 19:34Speaker 1: so I've kind of seen it both goes. I've seen
- 19:36Speaker 1: it go both ways there, and you know, every situation
- 19:39Speaker 1: is different. You know who knows how. You know this
- 19:43Speaker 1: team will bounce back from that. Let's let's take a

- 21:42Speaker 16: Mister Nick, Good day to you, sir. I was gonna
- 21:46Speaker 16: I was gonna say.
- 21:47Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously this news that really had me shook, and
- 21:51Speaker 6: I was really hoping that it wasn't true. But now
- 21:55Speaker 6: at this point, I'm kind of, you know, at the
- 21:57Speaker 6: point where you know, I don't need to hear any.
- 22:01Speaker 17: More additional moves about it. You know, I think we
- 22:05Speaker 17: all get the gist, and so you know, I'm just
- 22:08Speaker 17: gonna kind of like that's all I need to know.
- 22:11Speaker 17: What I really wanted to say, though, was the people
- 22:15Speaker 17: who call in to this thing, to your show.
- 22:19Speaker 13: These are like they put the fan in fanatic, right,
- 22:23Speaker 13: you know, these are the crazies. But one thing you
- 22:26Speaker 13: need to know is that all these people are also
- 22:29Speaker 13: fans of you, Nick, and so thank you, you bet you.
- 22:35Speaker 16: Whenever it started. Whenever the show started it, I was like,
- 22:39Speaker 16: that sounds cool. When they said it was Nick Eatman,
- 22:42Speaker 16: I was.
- 22:42Speaker 8: Like, oh yeah, now we got it.
- 22:46Speaker 16: Now now you're now it's ride up my Allex.
- 22:49Speaker 13: You've been my favorite.
- 22:50Speaker 16: So I just want to say you do a great job,
- 22:53Speaker 16: and I appreciate your show.
- 22:55Speaker 17: You have a good Daybut thank you so much.
- 22:59Speaker 1: For someone that was holding as long as you are.
- 23:02Speaker 1: You didn't have to say all that, for sure. I
- 23:04Speaker 1: apologize for that, but thank you for saying that. And
- 23:08Speaker 1: and you know, I and I and I realize that
- 23:13Speaker 1: you know this this show is not for everybody. You know,
- 23:17Speaker 1: it's it's not there's there's you know, there's a lot
- 23:20Speaker 1: of other personalities that we have that are a lot
- 23:23Speaker 1: different than me, you know, and vice versa, which is
- 23:26Speaker 1: which is fine. We've got a lot of people that
- 23:29Speaker 1: played the game, We've got people that are have different
- 23:33Speaker 1: outlooks on stuff. That's why it's so great, you know,
- 23:36Speaker 1: because it's what we've done here. We're building all the
- 23:39Speaker 1: podcast because we have a show for everybody, for every age,
- 23:43Speaker 1: every every personality type everything. So thank you for saying that.
- 23:48Speaker 1: And I you know, I think we are we are
- 23:51Speaker 1: a family here, and I think a lot of people
- 23:53Speaker 1: that that listen there are certain callers that they want
- 23:57Speaker 1: to hear from, especially after a win or after a loss,
- 24:00Speaker 1: or after a situation like this, like I mean, I
- 24:03Speaker 1: mean Irene had to call. I mean, Irene had to
- 24:06Speaker 1: call the show today. There's no other way. I mean
- 24:08Speaker 1: she had to call. Now, I don't think she she
- 24:12Speaker 1: necessarily wanted to, you know, as far as like when
- 24:15Speaker 1: when we listened to her, but she's like the mom
- 24:18Speaker 1: of the show. She had to call. And uh, you
- 24:22Speaker 1: know it was in Brian as well. I mean we
- 24:23Speaker 1: had we had to hear from them and everybody. But
- 24:25Speaker 1: but I'm saying, you know, we kind of know how
- 24:28Speaker 1: how this show goes. All right, let's go to David
- 24:32Speaker 1: in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
- 24:35Speaker 8: Nick my nurse outside of Eastern Texas, Texas, it's always
- 24:40Speaker 8: a pleasure to be on the ship and just tender
- 24:44Speaker 8: for for you, for Cowboys Nation, Marshawn Neeland, his family,
- 24:49Speaker 8: and just to thank you, uh the Dallas Cowboys in
- 24:53Speaker 8: the NFL to give us an outlet to escape from
- 24:58Speaker 8: the day to day gold rooms of life and cheer
- 25:01Speaker 8: you know, the silver and blue on and and the sacrifices,
- 25:04Speaker 8: Uh that those men and women, the cheerleaders, DCC everybody
- 25:09Speaker 8: just to you know, give us a little bit of
- 25:11Speaker 8: hope and joy on these weekends and just tender what
- 25:14Speaker 8: everyone's going through. But thanking you for that. With that
- 25:19Speaker 8: being said, went to the belly of the beef last
- 25:22Speaker 8: year at the Link. This year, I'm headed to Allegiance
- 25:26Speaker 8: and I'm gonna unseil Nacho Landry. I'm looking forward to it.
- 25:31Speaker 8: I'm flying it on Friday, flying out on Tuesday, the
- 25:35Speaker 8: first Monday Nights football game with Dallas heading to Las Vegas.
- 25:39Speaker 8: It's gonna be full tilt. My big question for you
- 25:43Speaker 8: is who covers Bowers. Is it is Overshoon gonna play
- 25:48Speaker 8: in this game or is it gonna be Wilson the
- 25:51Speaker 8: mic and follow him up the scene, because I think
- 25:53Speaker 8: if you shut down Bowers, and obviously Quinn Williams will
- 25:57Speaker 8: be shutting down the run on the D line because
- 25:59Speaker 8: gent he's a good back, but I think Bowers is
- 26:02Speaker 8: really the key matchup to this game, the defense. And
- 26:06Speaker 8: I'll take your call off line.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Thanks all right, thanks for the for the call. Of David.
- 26:13Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be electric for sure. I mean,
- 26:16Speaker 1: Cowboys will be first time they've ever played a regular
- 26:19Speaker 1: season game in Las Vegas Monday night football. Uh, you know,
- 26:25Speaker 1: second half of the season, we'll see what this tragedy,
- 26:29Speaker 1: you know, how they how they handle it. Uh, motions
- 26:33Speaker 1: are gonna be high. You know, there's no doubt about it.
- 26:36Speaker 1: So we'll see if I mean the rate the Raiders,
- 26:41Speaker 1: you know, they won't match that. You know, as far
- 26:44Speaker 1: as intensity and emotions, Now, that doesn't always mean that
- 26:48Speaker 1: it carries over to to success though, so you know,
- 26:52Speaker 1: and and as for the matchup, you know, we'll see.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see Peyton I mean Logan Wilson gets
- 26:59Speaker 1: on the field and Overshown on the field. You know,
- 27:03Speaker 1: I mean I I I would assume that they are
- 27:05Speaker 1: going to play. I mean, you know, I would think
- 27:08Speaker 1: that they're they're ready, they're ready or over shown is
- 27:11Speaker 1: ready to go. And then you know, we'll we'll see
- 27:15Speaker 1: about Bowers, and I mean it's gonna have to be everybody.
- 27:18Speaker 1: And he's more of a receiver than he is you know,
- 27:20Speaker 1: a tight end, so you know there's gonna be some
- 27:23Speaker 1: safety help that's going to have to do that. Maybe
- 27:25Speaker 1: maybe corner as well. All right, let's go to a
- 27:28Speaker 1: cowboy Nico's in Colorado Springs.
- 27:32Speaker 18: Hey, what's up? Nick?
- 27:33Speaker 10: First off, I just wanted to shout out and you
- 27:37Speaker 10: and your family, hope everybody is good.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 27:43Speaker 10: And Sean's family and on the storyliners, I personally survived
- 27:59Speaker 10: three aside my head working in a prison.
- 28:05Speaker 18: Has been passed up.
- 28:07Speaker 10: So I want to tell people please take it serious.
- 28:13Speaker 10: I take this team so seriously because in my life
- 28:18Speaker 10: I feel like a loser and the downs Tawboys have
- 28:22Speaker 10: always been a staple of winning, and when we don't win,
- 28:26Speaker 10: it hurts me in a different level because I already
- 28:29Speaker 10: don't feel good about me. So I'm telling everybody please
- 28:37Speaker 10: get help. Irene. I can't think you would not Honey
- 28:43Speaker 10: shooting now a message you don't know what it means
- 28:49Speaker 10: to somebody.
- 28:52Speaker 8: Just cause your.
- 28:53Speaker 10: Family and be there. And that's all I got. Good
- 28:57Speaker 10: boy Nation, stay together because it's time to stay together forever.
- 29:03Speaker 10: Hear us, hear people. It's a real thing. It's checked
- 29:09Speaker 10: in on everybody, friends, family, and the happiest person in
- 29:13Speaker 10: the room. I can guarantee you guarantee you that person
- 29:17Speaker 10: needs more hugs than you really believe, than you really know.
- 29:20Speaker 10: I just wanted to shoop that out for everybody. Hug everybody,
- 29:23Speaker 10: stay safe. Nick, He was, well, I gotta go because
- 29:26Speaker 10: I gotta go throw trash.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, thank you, Nico. Wow. You know, a
- 29:35Speaker 1: very powerful message there. And you know, Nico, hope you're
- 29:41Speaker 1: doing okay. You know that's that's I know. Patrick Walker
- 29:46Speaker 1: on the last show and Talking Cowboys talked about that
- 29:52Speaker 1: surviving suicide attempts and I can't even imagine, I can't
- 29:58Speaker 1: think about that. But one of the things, Nico, you
- 30:03Speaker 1: just said, the happiest person in the room needs your
- 30:06Speaker 1: hugs more than you think. And you're right about that.
- 30:09Speaker 1: You're certainly right about them. Before we get to the
- 30:14Speaker 1: next caller here, this this kind of goes along those
- 30:20Speaker 1: lines of what we have said, Chris, can we if
- 30:23Speaker 1: you guys haven't seen this. And there's a lot of
- 30:25Speaker 1: great messages people said, whether or not they played for
- 30:28Speaker 1: the Cowboys, used to play, or they just they're just
- 30:31Speaker 1: in sports. But I thought the best one that I
- 30:34Speaker 1: had heard was the Nebraska head coach Matt Ruhle, which
- 30:39Speaker 1: I've never been a huge fan of him. Maybe I
- 30:42Speaker 1: mean nothing against him. I just you know, didn't know
- 30:45Speaker 1: him or anything like that. But he took time out
- 30:48Speaker 1: of his own press conference to talked about the situation
- 30:52Speaker 1: with Marshaw and Chris. If we could play that, I
- 30:55Speaker 1: think it's very, very powerful, powerful because here's some that
- 31:00Speaker 1: coaches young people and he's dealt with a situation I
- 31:05Speaker 1: guess when he was a coach at Temple and that
- 31:07Speaker 1: still kind of haunts him a little bit. But listen
- 31:10Speaker 1: to the words from Matt Rule that were Thursday when
- 31:13Speaker 1: he was talking get ready for his game upcoming game
- 31:16Speaker 1: against UCLA. But talking about this is Matt Rule, the
- 31:19Speaker 1: head coach of Nebraska.
- 31:20Speaker 19: None of us know what people are going through. That's
- 31:23Speaker 19: why I think we all should be careful about what
- 31:25Speaker 19: we say to people. I think we should be careful
- 31:26Speaker 19: what we tweet about people. I think we should be
- 31:29Speaker 19: cognitive about everyone's going through. And I told our players
- 31:31Speaker 19: they should take their headphones off in the cafeteria and
- 31:33Speaker 19: sit down, so i'one and be like, how you doing, man,
- 31:35Speaker 19: what's going on with you? Because somebody that we're talking
- 31:38Speaker 19: to that we're saying, what's wrong with that guy? That
- 31:39Speaker 19: guy's messed up. Instead of saying what's wrong with the
- 31:42Speaker 19: we should all say wonder what happened to him? Because
- 31:44Speaker 19: everyone's suffering. I will forever the rest of my life
- 31:47Speaker 19: think about the time that I saw Adrian Robinson right
- 31:51Speaker 19: before he took his own life, and I saw him
- 31:54Speaker 19: on campus and I was walking this way and he
- 31:57Speaker 19: was way over there, and I was like, I need
- 31:58Speaker 19: to chetch up with Adrian because he had got done.
- 32:00Speaker 19: And a week later he left this world. And a
- 32:04Speaker 19: month later I was given the eulogy, and I just
- 32:06Speaker 19: wish in my life I could go back and just
- 32:08Speaker 19: stop and say, hey, how you doing. And so it's
- 32:11Speaker 19: not really what you ask, but it's all my heart,
- 32:12Speaker 19: and I just shared it with the team, like I
- 32:16Speaker 19: just think it's a time in this world for us
- 32:17Speaker 19: to be kind to people and at the same time
- 32:19Speaker 19: care about people and ask about people. Our generation of kids,
- 32:22Speaker 19: my kids, they all just say, yeah, I'm fine, I'm straight,
- 32:25Speaker 19: you know, And it's just like you really got to unearthed.
- 32:28Speaker 19: So I look at road trips and travel, and I
- 32:31Speaker 19: look at time together practice as chances to impact young
- 32:34Speaker 19: people's lives and try to be around them. And I
- 32:36Speaker 19: would encourage everybody to I woul encourage everybody today with
- 32:39Speaker 19: your own kids or the people you work with, just
- 32:41Speaker 19: check on them, because you know, that young man scored
- 32:43Speaker 19: a touchdown just a couple of days ago, and on
- 32:46Speaker 19: the outside world you think he's at the pinnacle, but
- 32:47Speaker 19: he's dealing with something and I don't know what it was,
- 32:49Speaker 19: but I pray for him and his family.
- 32:51Speaker 1: So great stuff there, I mean. And the reason why
- 32:57Speaker 1: that kind of hits home to me is because this
- 33:01Speaker 1: isn't This isn't Shottenheimer saying that, you know, this isn't
- 33:07Speaker 1: you know anybody that's that's here that that probably knew him. Uh,
- 33:12Speaker 1: maybe maybe he did, maybe he try to recruit him
- 33:15Speaker 1: or something, you know, maybe he but I don't I
- 33:16Speaker 1: don't think he did, you know. I think this is
- 33:18Speaker 1: just it just like I said before about that brought
- 33:24Speaker 1: him back to a time where there was a player
- 33:27Speaker 1: named Adrian Robinson that he wished that he would have
- 33:30Speaker 1: had a little bit more conversations with, you know. And
- 33:33Speaker 1: so that's that's why this this kind of hits home.
- 33:37Speaker 1: We've all known somebody that's kind of dealt with this
- 33:40Speaker 1: in one one way or another. So you know, this
- 33:46Speaker 1: is this has been. I knew this is gonna be
- 33:48Speaker 1: a tough show, but it's it's been. It's been tougher
- 33:52Speaker 1: than I thought because of some of the callers that
- 33:55Speaker 1: have called in then just how how much it's it's
- 33:57Speaker 1: weighing on them. Let's go to Lester in Minnesota.
- 34:03Speaker 18: Good going, and Nick, My heart is heavy, man. Each
- 34:11Speaker 18: man's life touches so many others, and when he's not there,
- 34:14Speaker 18: it leaves an awful big hole. That's from a quote
- 34:18Speaker 18: from my favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life, and Angel
- 34:22Speaker 18: told George barely that, but it's so true. We go
- 34:27Speaker 18: through life every day we see people, we meet people
- 34:32Speaker 18: and man, touch him, say hot to him, and say hey,
- 34:36Speaker 18: how you doing? If listen to him, if they have
- 34:39Speaker 18: something to say, Because each man's life touches so many others.
- 34:43Speaker 18: When he's not there, it leaves an awful big hole.
- 34:46Speaker 18: And so that young man's life is gone. Now. Life
- 34:49Speaker 18: is precious, man, I mean, dude, that's the most precious
- 34:54Speaker 18: thing he could have. That's it life. Man. I'm a
- 34:58Speaker 18: praying man, so my prayer definitely going out to his
- 35:02Speaker 18: family and and and it just hurts, man, it just hurts.
- 35:08Speaker 18: I mean it just hurts mumh and and basically the
- 35:15Speaker 18: caller called in before and said, what do you do
- 35:17Speaker 18: for therapeutics? What I do is I play Madden and
- 35:23Speaker 18: I pray because again, like I said, I'm a prayer
- 35:25Speaker 18: man because we all go through things every day and man,
- 35:31Speaker 18: I just my prayers are out many for for for
- 35:35Speaker 18: his family, and that's all I have today. Man, uh,
- 35:39Speaker 18: have a good day.
- 35:40Speaker 1: For thank you? And you know, I mean, I guess
- 35:45Speaker 1: that's that's I didn't even think about it like that.
- 35:48Speaker 1: That's probably something that I do as well. You know,
- 35:51Speaker 1: it's just fire up the xbox and play a little
- 35:54Speaker 1: bit just because it's meaningless, you know, but it's just
- 36:01Speaker 1: kind of fun to do and sometimes connect with you know,
- 36:04Speaker 1: your friends on there as well. So that that's that's
- 36:06Speaker 1: probably something. But you know, everybody needs their own like release,
- 36:09Speaker 1: you know, to kind of do stuff. But you know,
- 36:12Speaker 1: one of the things that you know that's so tragic
- 36:16Speaker 1: about this situation is you know, as a as a parent,
- 36:23Speaker 1: you you you set the standard for your kids, like
- 36:28Speaker 1: you're in the example for them and what you do
- 36:34Speaker 1: they see, you know, and and obviously right and so
- 36:37Speaker 1: uh and they think that's that's that's how you do this,
- 36:42Speaker 1: or that's how you do that. I mean, that's just
- 36:43Speaker 1: kind of the way things go. And so what's really
- 36:47Speaker 1: sad about this? I there's so many things, but you know,
- 36:51Speaker 1: when he was drafted, he was dealing with with with
- 36:56Speaker 1: those demons. I mean, his his mother passed away in
- 36:59Speaker 1: the exact same fashion right before the draft, so he
- 37:04Speaker 1: had to deal with that. We're talking like eighteen months now.
- 37:07Speaker 1: You know, this isn't like two years ago. This was
- 37:09Speaker 1: eighteen months ago the draft in twenty twenty four, So
- 37:16Speaker 1: that's still something that he's been going through. And unfortunately,
- 37:22Speaker 1: like an like an option for him. You know, that's
- 37:26Speaker 1: what happened to my mom. Like that's an option. And
- 37:30Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying that's the right. I'm

- 37:42Speaker 1: they see that mom did this, Dad did this. This
- 37:45Speaker 1: is how you do things. And if things get bad, well,
- 37:50Speaker 1: you know, And all I'm saying is is just as parents,
- 37:57Speaker 1: or even even if you're role modeled to any any youngsters,
- 38:01Speaker 1: I mean, kids are looking at you all the time,
- 38:05Speaker 1: and let's call a break.

- 39:33Speaker 1: Hadn't met a lot of football talked about him and

- 39:38Speaker 1: have as the taping of this show right now, we
- 39:42Speaker 1: are not even a full week you know before the game,
- 39:46Speaker 1: so next Monday. So uh, you know, we obviously been

- 39:54Speaker 1: is coping with it. Let's go to Rick and Webster, Massachusetts.
- 40:00Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 40:02Speaker 21: I'm all right? You know the last Wednesday, I was

- 40:15Speaker 21: we got through it together. And uh uh with Bryan
- 40:21Speaker 21: and Irene get shut outs to them and Cowboy NKO.
- 40:27Speaker 21: Just keep reaching out, keep talking. We got you, buddy,
- 40:31Speaker 21: stand strong. The other thing that came about was is
- 40:36Speaker 21: that you, when you're talking about stuff, don't go into
- 40:39Speaker 21: players dams and commenting on things. Just keep it to
- 40:43Speaker 21: yourself and not the players agrieve the way they.
- 40:46Speaker 8: Want to grieve.
- 40:48Speaker 1: That's good, all right, Rick, thank you for the call.
- 40:53Speaker 1: You know you're right about that. I mean people are
- 40:55Speaker 1: going to grieve how they how they grieve, and I
- 40:59Speaker 1: mean nobody's wrong, you know, like like in this situation.
- 41:03Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's nobody's wrong. If they are, you know,
- 41:08Speaker 1: really emotional about this, whether they knew them or not,
- 41:13Speaker 1: No one's wrong. If they're asking about football questions, you know.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's you handle things how you handle it.
- 41:22Speaker 1: And this shows a little bit about everything. Let's go
- 41:26Speaker 1: to let's go one more caller here, Sergeant Sue and
- 41:29Speaker 1: Fort Worth.
- 41:31Speaker 22: Hey, Nick, I initially wasn't going to call in today,
- 41:35Speaker 22: but man, this, uh, this episode has been great and
- 41:39Speaker 22: uh I had it on my heart. Man, I felt
- 41:41Speaker 22: like it was my duty to call in. It's my
- 41:43Speaker 22: duty to uh to speak up right now. It's my
- 41:46Speaker 22: duty to speak up and tell everybody like I've.
- 41:48Speaker 8: Told them before.

- 41:51Speaker 22: the DFW area, I'd love to hang out if you

- 42:08Speaker 22: This is a very touching subject to me, you know,
- 42:12Speaker 22: you know, being a veteran, uh, I've dealt with this
- 42:15Speaker 22: with a lot of my battle buddies, and you know,
- 42:19Speaker 22: there's a no matter how much you do, you always
- 42:22Speaker 22: feel like you can do more. And so I wanted
- 42:24Speaker 22: to call in let everybody know that what you're feeling
- 42:27Speaker 22: is is is okay. It's okay to feel the way
- 42:29Speaker 22: that you're feeling. It's okay to to process it the
- 42:32Speaker 22: way that you process it, and it's okay. Certainly it's
- 42:36Speaker 22: okay to ask for help. Of course, you know it
- 42:38Speaker 22: is getting to be a little bit cliche at the moment,
- 42:40Speaker 22: but it really is not. It's okay to ask for help.
- 42:43Speaker 22: And I always try to tell everybody. I've said it
- 42:45Speaker 22: several times that if you don't, if you don't have
- 42:47Speaker 22: a friend, to ask, and then you have one now
- 42:49Speaker 22: you know, starting to you guys know me, if you
- 42:51Speaker 22: don't have a friend, you have one. Now I have
- 42:53Speaker 22: two ears, I could I could certainly lend you one.
- 42:55Speaker 22: And that's all I really wanted to say, Nick, I
- 42:57Speaker 22: I do want to say that I appreciate you, I
- 42:58Speaker 22: appreciate Chris, and I appreciate Derek because what you guys
- 43:01Speaker 22: do isn't just about football. We said it, several of
- 43:04Speaker 22: us have said it, and I know that you know
- 43:06Speaker 22: everybody will agree with me when I say again that
- 43:08Speaker 22: you guys didn't just build a cool show. You guys
- 43:10Speaker 22: built a community, and you guys built something that we're
- 43:13Speaker 22: all going to be able to lean on each other
- 43:14Speaker 22: to get to process this, you know.
- 43:16Speaker 11: And without you.
- 43:17Speaker 22: Guys, without the idea and without you guys make you know,
- 43:20Speaker 22: making this come into fruition, we wouldn't have this. So
- 43:22Speaker 22: I appreciate you guys so much and you guys have
- 43:24Speaker 22: a blessing.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Great call and uh a great
- 43:31Speaker 1: call for us to end on. I know that there's
- 43:33Speaker 1: probably a lot of people that that tried to get
- 43:36Speaker 1: in and I'm happy with the ten calls that we
- 43:40Speaker 1: that we got and played a couple of the clips too,
- 43:43Speaker 1: thought though those were really good sergeants with with great
- 43:48Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really I don't go back and want
- 43:52Speaker 1: and watch shows really because by the time we have
- 43:56Speaker 1: time for it it's time for another one. So I
- 43:58Speaker 1: just get you know, I don't really go back, but
- 43:59Speaker 1: I probably will because I feel like every single person
- 44:04Speaker 1: that said something today had a quote that I really loved,
- 44:09Speaker 1: and I didn't really write them all down, but there
- 44:12Speaker 1: were some really good things. I mean, I even Sergeant
- 44:15Speaker 1: sud just now I've got two ears. I'll lend you
- 44:19Speaker 1: one for sure. It's great, it's well said, there's a
- 44:22Speaker 1: lot of lot. Everybody had something that was really really good,
- 44:28Speaker 1: you know, and and appropriate. So you know, I knew
- 44:33Speaker 1: this was going to be a tough show, and it was.
- 44:36Speaker 1: It was, but but I I we did we did
- 44:40Speaker 1: build a community and it and it was cool to
- 44:43Speaker 1: kind of hear you guys uh today and in your
- 44:46Speaker 1: perspective as well. You know, we you guys have a
- 44:51Speaker 1: voice and it was loud and clear today and it
- 44:54Speaker 1: was it was good, really good. I I we'll see
- 44:57Speaker 1: what tomorrow brings. I don't know if I'm not saying
- 45:00Speaker 1: we're gonna go break down the slot corner and we're
- 45:04Speaker 1: Revel's gonna play and all that, and it's probably gonna
- 45:07Speaker 1: be a little bit more of this and we'll just
- 45:09Speaker 1: kind of ease to it I mean, that's that's what
- 45:11Speaker 1: this week is about, you know, because there's a lot
- 45:14Speaker 1: of people I get it. I mean, uh, you know,
- 45:17Speaker 1: there's gonna be people that don't call until Friday of
- 45:20Speaker 1: this week. They haven't called all week and they haven't
- 45:23Speaker 1: you know, said anything about Marshaw Neeland and they're probably
- 45:26Speaker 1: going to So that's what's gonna happen this week, and
- 45:28Speaker 1: that's this show is for that. And I don't think
- 45:32Speaker 1: we're necessarily moving on, you know that, that quickly. So
- 45:37Speaker 1: we'll see what tomorrow brings. All right, great, great show.
- 45:43Speaker 1: I don't want to single anyone out because there was
- 45:45Speaker 1: ten really good callers. Some of you guys are a
- 45:47Speaker 1: little bit more emotional than others. Praying for all of
- 45:51Speaker 1: you guys. Uh, even the ones that didn't call, didn't
- 45:53Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to say some some awesome things
- 45:56Speaker 1: like like these callers there, we'll do it again tomorrow
- 45:58Speaker 1: for Chris Beam. I'm Nick Eatman's Tomorrow Cowboys storyline.
