- 0:35Speaker 1: but for not for us, because we're here to talk

- 0:42Speaker 1: caught up on what's happened here. We've got the Cowboys
- 0:45Speaker 1: storyliners that have been here, not all of all of
- 0:49Speaker 1: you guys, of course, but seven of you and I've
- 0:52Speaker 1: got a chance to hang out. We had a show.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I hope you got a chance to see that show.
- 0:57Speaker 1: It's on the website. We're gonna also post it on
- 1:00Speaker 1: the Twitter x account here in a little bit as well.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It was about a thirty minute show. Got to got
- 1:07Speaker 1: to sit here, got them all on on here. They
- 1:09Speaker 1: presented me a football. They also showed a picture of
- 1:13Speaker 1: a Randy who couldn't make it here. He's the only
- 1:16Speaker 1: captain that couldn't make it, But it's still was really
- 1:19Speaker 1: cool to hang out with Irene and and Dylan and
- 1:23Speaker 1: Rob and and then of course the rest of the
- 1:25Speaker 1: guys that were here, Davian and and John, Tay Paula
- 1:29Speaker 1: and Sergeant Sue. He's a character right there by a
- 1:32Speaker 1: lot of fun. So get a chance to check that out.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Very they were they were very grateful to be here
- 1:39Speaker 1: and and and it was really really fun. Looks like
- 1:42Speaker 1: it's gonna be an annual thing, so we'll see what
- 1:45Speaker 1: happens next year. Maybe more people can join them. So
- 1:47Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Now let's talk cowboys. Rams Rams
- 1:50Speaker 1: came in for a practice. You know, it was a practice.
- 1:54Speaker 1: There was no doubt about it. It wasn't a scrimmager game.
- 1:56Speaker 1: They'll they'll play on Saturday at SOFI Stadium. But for
- 2:01Speaker 1: the starters, there was a chance to kind of get
- 2:02Speaker 1: to see some of them. You know, it's it was
- 2:07Speaker 1: it's still early in this in this process. I don't
- 2:10Speaker 1: think that that Brian Schottenheimer believes that it was the
- 2:13Speaker 1: best practice. I think the offense, you know, it's his
- 2:15Speaker 1: first time to call some plays, and you know, the
- 2:17Speaker 1: offense struggled at times. It's hard to say did they
- 2:21Speaker 1: run the ball, did they not run the ball, because
- 2:24Speaker 1: no one was tackling. But you could tell what's open,
- 2:27Speaker 1: what you know, what hole is there and what isn't
- 2:29Speaker 1: and and for the most part, I thought, you know,
- 2:31Speaker 1: the offense struggled. Some defense. Cornerbacks had had some issues
- 2:37Speaker 1: with with DeVante Adams and Pukko who won't you know? So,
- 2:42Speaker 1: But again, I'm not putting a lot of stock into
- 2:45Speaker 1: it's early wasn't real football. And let's be honest. The
- 2:48Speaker 1: Cowboys defense, you know, they they don't have one of
- 2:50Speaker 1: the best players in the NFL right now lining up.
- 2:54Speaker 1: That changes everything. So you know, we we can talk
- 2:58Speaker 1: about it. But I've thought, you know, it was just
- 3:00Speaker 1: good to see them go up against some other other
- 3:03Speaker 1: other teams, other faces, stuff like that. All right, let's
- 3:06Speaker 1: get to the phone lines. Let's start us off. Jeff
- 3:08Speaker 1: is in Salt Lake City. He will go first. Jeff,
- 3:10Speaker 1: what's up many, Good morning, Nick?
- 3:13Speaker 4: How are you?
- 3:13Speaker 1: Good morning? I'm doing great, Thank you.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Good, I'm excited football is back. Just wanted to let
- 3:19Speaker 4: you know I will be in Denver when Dallas travels
- 3:22Speaker 4: to Denver in late October.
- 3:23Speaker 5: All right, excited about that?
- 3:24Speaker 1: Good going to the game. Are you just going to
- 3:26Speaker 1: be there?
- 3:27Speaker 4: Yep, nope. I'm going to the game with my brother
- 3:29Speaker 4: in law. He's a Bronco fan and I'm a Cowboy fan.
- 3:31Speaker 4: So let's see, let's make it work. I understand we
- 3:33Speaker 4: haven't won there since ninety five, but you know what,
- 3:36Speaker 4: there's a first.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Maybe it's just maybe it's the year.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I don't want to correct you and make it worse,
- 3:40Speaker 1: but I think they haven't won there since ninety two.
- 3:43Speaker 1: They've beat the Broncos five at home. Surely that's not
- 3:48Speaker 1: the last time the Broncos, but that maybe that is
- 3:52Speaker 1: the last time they beat them. In general, you don't
- 3:53Speaker 1: play them a lot. That's probably right. But uh yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 1: I haven't won up there since ninety two, so yes, yeah.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Anyway, I'll just got a quick question for you, Nick,
- 4:07Speaker 4: and then I'll get off and I'll listen. I just
- 4:08Speaker 4: got to I know we're all sick of the contract
- 4:10Speaker 4: drama with Micah. I love Michael Micah. I agree with
- 4:14Speaker 4: you don't trade superstars, but I got a question for
- 4:16Speaker 4: you regarding future contract negotiations. For example, somebody like George Pickens,
- 4:22Speaker 4: who shares the same agent, David Mulugeta as Micah Parsons.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Does this situation that's.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Taking place right now with Micah could that affect the
- 4:32Speaker 4: front office wanting to deal with any Mulagedta clients in
- 4:35Speaker 4: the future. Similar to like you know, when Gak was
- 4:39Speaker 4: going through contract talks with Todd France. Every time I
- 4:43Speaker 4: heard that a client was repped by Todd France, I
- 4:45Speaker 4: almost was like, Oh, no, this is gonna be this
- 4:48Speaker 4: could be difficult. What are your thoughts on that? And
- 4:51Speaker 4: then I also am hoping with everything that I'm seeing
- 4:53Speaker 4: regarding the team, especially at the running back position, I
- 4:57Speaker 4: just want to see Jaden Blue start.
- 4:59Speaker 5: He's got juice.
- 5:00Speaker 4: I say, let's give it to the young guys, keep
- 5:02Speaker 4: a veteran as a backup, and we just go from there.
- 5:05Speaker 4: But I'll listen to your answer, off Aaron. I appreciate
- 5:09Speaker 4: you taking the time, and do you have a good day?
- 5:11Speaker 6: Nick?
- 5:11Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Jeff, appreciate that. Maybe I'll get
- 5:15Speaker 1: to see you in Denver when you're there. As for
- 5:18Speaker 1: the future contract stuff, you know, I don't think this
- 5:21Speaker 1: agent is becoming the Scott Boris of agents in baseball.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I don't think it's getting to that point at all.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I think you got to remember that every every situation
- 5:30Speaker 1: is different, Dak With Todd Franz, I mean, we're talking
- 5:34Speaker 1: about the richest contract in the history of the NFL,
- 5:37Speaker 1: sixty million per year. This one with with Michael Parsons.
- 5:41Speaker 1: They are trying to be and it probably will be
- 5:45Speaker 1: the highest pay you know, non quarterback contract in the
- 5:49Speaker 1: history of the NFL. So I think when you're dealing
- 5:52Speaker 1: in that regard, Yeah, these things are different. There's no
- 5:57Speaker 1: way that the agent David mullica is is doing I mean,
- 6:04Speaker 1: this contract sets sets the parameters for all other contracts,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and so now the same now with George Pickens. Yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's gonna be. That's gonna be
- 6:14Speaker 1: a big deal, There's no doubt about it. But Micah,
- 6:17Speaker 1: what does Micah have to prove? I mean, Mike is
- 6:19Speaker 1: the best defensive player in the in the league. That's
- 6:22Speaker 1: what That's what he he believes, that's what most people believe.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys even believe that, and so they
- 6:28Speaker 1: know that's what they have to pay for. Pickens has
- 6:32Speaker 1: had a lot of question marks and that's still what
- 6:34Speaker 1: how is he going to handle this for this role
- 6:36Speaker 1: right now, it's been really good. And and what does
- 6:38Speaker 1: it what does it look like when he is the
- 6:41Speaker 1: number two receiver next to CD? What do those stats
- 6:45Speaker 1: look like? So you know it's gonna be it'll be
- 6:48Speaker 1: a good contract. But I don't think you can take
- 6:51Speaker 1: things that are happening here. Maybe with with with what's
- 6:53Speaker 1: gonna happen there. If the Cowboys really want to bring
- 6:56Speaker 1: him back, I think they can do that. You just
- 6:58Speaker 1: gotta remember how tricky this this deal is. And you know, frankly, Jerry,
- 7:04Speaker 1: this one, Jerry, you know that this is where that
- 7:06Speaker 1: they step in. You know, this is one of those
- 7:08Speaker 1: deals where Jerry steps in and he did step in.
- 7:10Speaker 1: He stepped in with Micah and and they kind of
- 7:12Speaker 1: thought they had a deal. I don't know if it
- 7:14Speaker 1: would even get to that point with George Pickens, so
- 7:17Speaker 1: different situation for sure. All right, let's go to Zach
- 7:19Speaker 1: in Atlanta.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Hey, what's up? Nick? And Frisco by way of Auxnarn.
- 7:25Speaker 1: How are you doing, man?
- 7:27Speaker 6: I'm good man. I loved the show with the storyliners.
- 7:31Speaker 6: Shout out to all them. I'm sure that was a
- 7:33Speaker 6: great time. And uh, you know Dylan was talking about
- 7:37Speaker 6: Solomon Thomas. How huge he looks in person. I'm like, hey,
- 7:40Speaker 6: can we get sergeants seeing some pads? Three techniques?
- 7:43Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 7:44Speaker 6: I told him that on the chat. I was like, bro, what.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Jack Man? He looks like the rock. He looks at
- 7:54Speaker 1: the rock and and him his arm. He's now he
- 7:57Speaker 1: calls himself to pebble because he's not he's not that big,
- 7:59Speaker 1: but man, he is. And and while you're mentioned Dylan,
- 8:02Speaker 1: today is his birthday. I'm gonna give a shout out
- 8:04Speaker 1: to Dylan birthday. And so we got a chance to
- 8:07Speaker 1: go out to the bar last night. They were there
- 8:10Speaker 1: and it turned twelve o'clock and so it was his
- 8:12Speaker 1: birthday and we gave him shout out there. It's cool.
- 8:14Speaker 1: So anyway, but Zach, I'll say this, you're one of
- 8:18Speaker 1: the top candidates that they're talking about recruiting for for
- 8:22Speaker 1: adding to the to the event next year. I mean,
- 8:24Speaker 1: I've heard your name mentioned a couple of times, so.
- 8:27Speaker 6: I know I hope to be there next time. It'll
- 8:31Speaker 6: be a lot of fun.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Cool.
- 8:32Speaker 6: Well yeah, man, uh so just a quick question. Well
- 8:39Speaker 6: two one in the practice yesterday, we're Tyler Smith and
- 8:44Speaker 6: Tyler Booker playing with the ones.
- 8:46Speaker 1: In and out. I mean, they are the starters, but
- 8:49Speaker 1: they may wrap out because they're not going to play
- 8:52Speaker 1: as much. I'm not sure about Booker. He might, but
- 8:55Speaker 1: I don't think Tyler Smith's gonna play. So it's also
- 8:58Speaker 1: one of those things to getting these guys that are
- 9:00Speaker 1: gonna play more in the game, kind of getting a
- 9:02Speaker 1: little bit more reps.
- 9:05Speaker 6: Gotcha, Nah, definitely. I know they're trying to work everybody,
- 9:09Speaker 6: especially in a scrimmage, but yeah, I was just curious, man,
- 9:12Speaker 6: because are you know the reports of that our line
- 9:14Speaker 6: was getting worked and the Rams have a great front seven.
- 9:18Speaker 6: But I'm like, dang, we can't be can't be doing that.
- 9:21Speaker 6: But it's early. Guys are rotating in. I'm not too
- 9:25Speaker 6: stressed about it. But the other comment question, and I'll
- 9:29Speaker 6: get off the line, is you know, Shot, He's got
- 9:32Speaker 6: the guys practicing hard. I love it. It just seems
- 9:36Speaker 6: to be like a lot of injuries pomping up though.
- 9:40Speaker 6: You know, in years past we lost Sean Lee to
- 9:42Speaker 6: an ACL and training camp. We lost Sam Williams last year,
- 9:46Speaker 6: so I know injuries are a part of it and
- 9:49Speaker 6: it's unfortunate, but that is that different this year do
- 9:53Speaker 6: you see like more injuries. Obviously nothing catastrophic yet Lord Willing,
- 9:58Speaker 6: we won't have any catastrophe injuries. But I don't know, man,
- 10:01Speaker 6: It just seems like maybe they're exercising more precaution when
- 10:04Speaker 6: there is a flare up or something.
- 10:05Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, like the list is growing.
- 10:08Speaker 6: So is that do you think that's a result of
- 10:11Speaker 6: shoddy and do you think he would adjust anything on
- 10:14Speaker 6: that front.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I think the list is growing. Thank you, Zach, I
- 10:16Speaker 1: appreciate the call. I think the list is growing because
- 10:19Speaker 1: of what you just said about it's being there, being
- 10:23Speaker 1: cautious about it. It's all precautionary moves. So that's why
- 10:27Speaker 1: the list is growing. Because football, obviously it is physical sports.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So when something minor happens, it's enough to say, all right,
- 10:34Speaker 1: we got ninety one guys out here, let's you can
- 10:37Speaker 1: take today off, or let's take it easy, or you know,
- 10:40Speaker 1: let's let's let's you know, monitor this a little bit
- 10:43Speaker 1: more so you know this is This is why I
- 10:46Speaker 1: think it does seem like there's a lot of injuries.
- 10:48Speaker 1: A lot of guys are banged up because you're not
- 10:51Speaker 1: going to push it as much as you would in
- 10:53Speaker 1: other and other times, this doesn't seem like for a
- 10:56Speaker 1: second it did, But it's kind of it's it's died down.
- 10:59Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the first couple of days, I mean
- 11:02Speaker 1: there was about seven or eight guys. I think it's
- 11:04Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit there. And also, you know,
- 11:08Speaker 1: just because they're still very very cautious that you know,
- 11:13Speaker 1: it's what August the sixth, you know, the games is
- 11:18Speaker 1: what four weeks away from tomorrow, so you're going to
- 11:21Speaker 1: start to see them kind of ramp this thing up
- 11:24Speaker 1: a little bit more. Let me go back to the
- 11:26Speaker 1: previous caller to not answer the guy's question, Jeff from
- 11:29Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. He asked about Jaden Blue wanting him
- 11:32Speaker 1: to be the starter because he's got the juice and
- 11:34Speaker 1: all that sounds great, and I'm not necessarily disagree. What
- 11:40Speaker 1: I need to know, what they need to know and
- 11:43Speaker 1: find out is are you going to do the things
- 11:46Speaker 1: that are starting running back does? And starting running back
- 11:49Speaker 1: can can run inside, he can run outside, he can
- 11:52Speaker 1: pick up the blitz he catch out of the backfield,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and you know what, at the end of the play,
- 11:56Speaker 1: they go back to the huddle and play again. They
- 11:59Speaker 1: hands the ball to the ref and they play again.
- 12:01Speaker 1: It's not a fum bowler or anything. And I know
- 12:03Speaker 1: he's had the issues and it's to the point where
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know that's that's been the knock on him in college.
- 12:09Speaker 1: But but all of those things sort of the things
- 12:11Speaker 1: we just haven't seen yet. Can you run is that
- 12:15Speaker 1: you know that that's obviously a big one. But you know,
- 12:18Speaker 1: if you can't, if you can't get the hole and
- 12:21Speaker 1: you can't break tackles and be a physical runner, we
- 12:25Speaker 1: just haven't seen any of that stuff yet. Uh, And
- 12:27Speaker 1: I don't. I just have a hard time thinking then
- 12:30Speaker 1: he's gonna come right in and be that guy. But
- 12:33Speaker 1: he could, you know, because they just played a team
- 12:36Speaker 1: yesterday h in a running back, Kyron Williams, who smaller
- 12:40Speaker 1: than him, and he was a fifth round pick and
- 12:42Speaker 1: he was pretty dang good and and and he got paid.
- 12:45Speaker 1: So it can certainly happen. There's no doubt it can happen.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But I think, you know, let's let's ease into it.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I think Davonte Williams is taking the lead here. Uh
- 12:56Speaker 1: he's been he's been somewhat impressive to me, But I mean,
- 12:59Speaker 1: yesterday they couldn't really get any anything rolling there running
- 13:04Speaker 1: the ball again. It's it's it's early and it's hard
- 13:06Speaker 1: to kind of tell, but but I'm with you on
- 13:09Speaker 1: Jayden Blue. I just there's a lot of factors involved
- 13:12Speaker 1: being the started running back. All right, let's go to
- 13:14Speaker 1: Brian in Kansas City. Brian, what's up?
- 13:17Speaker 5: Good morning, sir, Good morning.
- 13:18Speaker 1: How are you.
- 13:20Speaker 7: I'm doing good man. So I got a question on
- 13:23Speaker 7: the current Cowboys, and then.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I got a trivia for you.
- 13:25Speaker 7: Okay, all right, So, uh, you know, in watching the
- 13:30Speaker 7: I think Brought Us is trying to take over the world,
- 13:33Speaker 7: But then watching it all the stuff that he's on
- 13:36Speaker 7: and some of the other people that I follow when
- 13:39Speaker 7: I see you know, camp Risers and Fallers, unfortunately, I
- 13:43Speaker 7: see Mazie on the wrong side of that coin an
- 13:46Speaker 7: awful lot, not just on the channels that Brought Us
- 13:48Speaker 7: is on pretty much across the board.
- 13:51Speaker 8: So I was curious if.
- 13:52Speaker 7: You had an opinion on whether he's you know, where
- 13:55Speaker 7: he is this year. I still think, you know, and
- 13:59Speaker 7: this is what I said in January or February. I
- 14:02Speaker 7: don't think the starting one tech is.
- 14:04Speaker 5: On the team.
- 14:05Speaker 7: I think they're going to have to do something there.
- 14:08Speaker 7: And then for my trivia question. So, I just watched
- 14:14Speaker 7: the two thousand and nine Thanksgiving Day game last night.
- 14:17Speaker 7: I missed football when it's not on. I ended up
- 14:19Speaker 7: watching this stuff on YouTube, you know. So anyway, and
- 14:24Speaker 7: I will point out that guess that year they went
- 14:28Speaker 7: with running back by committee and it worked. They produced
- 14:32Speaker 7: two thousand yards across all three guys, so it was
- 14:38Speaker 7: actually an effective thing. Barbara accounted for about half of that,
- 14:41Speaker 7: but Jones and Tashard choice accounted for the other half.
- 14:46Speaker 7: And you know, we don't hear that by committee approach
- 14:49Speaker 7: work a whole lot, but it did that year. My
- 14:53Speaker 7: trivia question is what first round Cowboys draft pick started
- 14:59Speaker 7: for the Oakland Raiders that year?
- 15:03Speaker 1: Wow? Two thousand and nine Raiders versus Cowboys first round pick.
- 15:14Speaker 5: I'll give you a.
- 15:17Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to think when Greg Ellis was here?
- 15:21Speaker 1: Was it Greg Ellis?
- 15:23Speaker 7: Yes, sir, you nailed it. I'll hang up and look
- 15:26Speaker 7: for the rest of your rest of what you got offline.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Man, just a little.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Nervous about that one.
- 15:30Speaker 10: You get that was?
- 15:31Speaker 1: That was a good one. That was a good one.
- 15:33Speaker 5: I like that.
- 15:34Speaker 1: I remember that game, if I remember, uh, I think
- 15:39Speaker 1: Felix had a long touchdown run you're talking about. You
- 15:41Speaker 1: know that that's a good point. Thanks for the call, Brian.
- 15:43Speaker 1: And and just so you know, just so you know, Brian,
- 15:47Speaker 1: when I get back to Dallas, which is next week,
- 15:49Speaker 1: one top prior to one of my top priorities to
- 15:51Speaker 1: make sure gets your your yettie and your your shirt.
- 15:55Speaker 1: We have we have the wrong address and feel bad
- 15:56Speaker 1: about that. You're one of our top callers and you
- 15:58Speaker 1: always have been, and I want to make sure you
- 16:00Speaker 1: get you get the swags that the rest of them have. Yeah,
- 16:06Speaker 1: I mean what I would like to know about that
- 16:10Speaker 1: two thousand and nine team, And because you know, running
- 16:13Speaker 1: back by committee is gonna work if if if you're
- 16:18Speaker 1: blocking for them, you know what I mean, like like
- 16:20Speaker 1: if the offensive line is blocking, then it doesn't really
- 16:24Speaker 1: matter who it is. And I think that they could
- 16:27Speaker 1: have had running back by committee here. But you know,
- 16:29Speaker 1: for a while, Zeke was the one that did everything
- 16:32Speaker 1: the best. When you think about that, those three guys, Barber, Felix,
- 16:37Speaker 1: Jones to Shard Choice, they all kind of do something
- 16:42Speaker 1: maybe better. Now I don't know about to shared choices.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I don't know what he was the best at, other
- 16:47Speaker 1: other than in that group talking and being a leader.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I mean, he certainly was. I mean, I mean for
- 16:54Speaker 1: the as much as the their running back could be.
- 16:56Speaker 1: But but you know, Felix had the home run hitting
- 16:58Speaker 1: a speed, and Marry picked up the tough yards and
- 17:01Speaker 1: then and then Choice could kind of do a little
- 17:02Speaker 1: bit of both. So yeah, but that offensive line is
- 17:05Speaker 1: where it starts. So you get an offensive line that
- 17:07Speaker 1: can block for anyone, then Chris and I will go
- 17:09Speaker 1: out there and get a few yards. You know, maybe
- 17:11Speaker 1: maybe not, but I think I think that that's where
- 17:15Speaker 1: it starts. So if the offensive line can give the push,
- 17:19Speaker 1: then sure you you might have to to go that route.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I don't think they want to do that. They want
- 17:24Speaker 1: to have a lead back, but nobody necessarily has emerged
- 17:28Speaker 1: for that. Right now, All right, let's keep going here.
- 17:31Speaker 1: We've got Sam in Edroyd, Texas. How you say it? Edroy? Hey? Sam,
- 17:39Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 17:41Speaker 5: I'm doing great. I promised I ring that I was
- 17:45Speaker 5: trying while they were all traveling.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Nice. She was worried about that, and so was I.
- 17:51Speaker 1: You know, She's like, hey, we're the we're the main callers,
- 17:54Speaker 1: and we're not going to be able to call so
- 17:56Speaker 1: we need people to step up. So I'm glad you
- 17:58Speaker 1: did tell me where you're from. Again, do you pronounce that.
- 18:02Speaker 5: It's twenty two miles more.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Christ Okay, all right, that's far in your first time.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I appreciate that you.
- 18:12Speaker 11: Get born.
- 18:13Speaker 5: But before I forget, I've been trying for so long.
- 18:18Speaker 5: My favorite player is Sir John Dray. That's how old
- 18:21Speaker 5: I am.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Okay, and my no one's ever said that, but I
- 18:28Speaker 1: don't think anyone ever said that was their favorite player.
- 18:32Speaker 1: By the way, this guy.
- 18:34Speaker 5: I actually made him.
- 18:36Speaker 1: So yeah, that's all. Well, go ahead and keep going.
- 18:43Speaker 5: My favorite wrestler's whole day.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Pablo got me on that one that escapes me. All right,
- 18:51Speaker 1: what't your thoughts on this team.
- 18:55Speaker 5: I'm excited to see Tolkien as a receiver. I'm excited
- 19:01Speaker 5: to see what media can do finally, and I'm hoping
- 19:06Speaker 5: that really turns out to being the running back.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean me too, you know, And what I
- 19:14Speaker 1: just said in the previous caller about him, I mean,
- 19:16Speaker 1: there's just lots to figure out. But can you run?
- 19:20Speaker 1: Can't can I mean, yeah, we know he can run,
- 19:22Speaker 1: but can you block? Can you pick it up? And
- 19:24Speaker 1: and you know, can you beat at every down runner.
- 19:26Speaker 1: That's that's what it takes.
- 19:29Speaker 5: I'm also I want the question I really had was
- 19:32Speaker 5: what's Martha?
- 19:34Speaker 1: Who mark O s I said Martha? I was like,
- 19:39Speaker 1: who's Martha? You know, I met so many people here.
- 19:41Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. Uh and you guys
- 19:43Speaker 1: on the Twitter spaces, there's so many people that that
- 19:46Speaker 1: I don't know about these about everyone, Phil MafA. I
- 19:50Speaker 1: tell you what Phil MafA is gonna do. He's gonna
- 19:53Speaker 1: run his ass off against the Rams on Saturday, and
- 19:58Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna change a lot of opinions. I
- 20:00Speaker 1: really think so. And I'm laughing because Chris Beam is
- 20:07Speaker 1: coming in with an umbrella. He is like saving the
- 20:09Speaker 1: day for me. He's blocking the shade. That is the
- 20:12Speaker 1: greatest thing ever. Sam. I apologize there's a lot happening
- 20:16Speaker 1: here on your first call, but I always say that
- 20:18Speaker 1: Chris Beam is like mc ivor. He can do anything,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and he's a NASCAR pit crew guy. And he just
- 20:24Speaker 1: gave me an umbrella in like two minutes because I
- 20:28Speaker 1: because I was joking. See he's got a nice little
- 20:30Speaker 1: little umbrella over here for his his stuff. And I
- 20:33Speaker 1: just asked him on the chat, I was like, how's
- 20:35Speaker 1: your umbrella? Because I'm baking in the sun, and this guy,
- 20:38Speaker 1: in like ninety seconds provides this umbrella for me. It's
- 20:42Speaker 1: the best. I love. Chris is awesome. Sam. I'm totally sorry.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Let's keep talking here, So tell me what else he
- 20:48Speaker 1: was looking for? Tell me what else you're looking for?
- 20:50Speaker 11: Now?
- 20:50Speaker 1: I got some you know what I mean? Chris is.
- 20:52Speaker 1: I was throwing shade and Chris came back and threw
- 20:55Speaker 1: the biggest shade. Okay, how about that, Sam? What do
- 20:57Speaker 1: you what else you got?
- 21:00Speaker 5: I'll be there next week. I was supposed to go
- 21:04Speaker 5: with the group, but they's sort of change the date
- 21:07Speaker 5: on them. Well, but I go. I got an aux snark,
- 21:13Speaker 5: so it's gonna be my first script pill.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Okay, well maybe you can. I'll add Chris down because
- 21:18Speaker 1: I won't be here next week. We'll be doing the show.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I'm going back home, you know, first day of school.
- 21:23Speaker 1: You gotta first week of school. Got gotta be back
- 21:26Speaker 1: and I'll be doing shows for back there. But uh,
- 21:28Speaker 1: maybe you guys can hold down the fort here and
- 21:31Speaker 1: prevent any fires or anything like that.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, uh yeah. Last year I talked to Nicky
- 21:37Speaker 5: and to Nick and to Clarence that's probably so. Yeah,
- 21:41Speaker 5: that's always fun for me to go. I'll stay with
- 21:43Speaker 5: the chill. Very nice weather over very nice.
- 21:46Speaker 1: You can be hot, though, no doubt. I mean, it's
- 21:48Speaker 1: not as hot as everywhere everybody else when you're sitting
- 21:50Speaker 1: in the sun for a while. Certainly can be. But
- 21:51Speaker 1: I'm not sitting in the sun anymore.
- 21:54Speaker 5: So all right, to you, thanks for the call, and
- 21:58Speaker 5: I'll be trying to get through all right.
- 22:00Speaker 1: The gang, thank you, thank you, Sam appreciate that. All right,
- 22:05Speaker 1: let's let's let's go to Chris in San Angelo before
- 22:08Speaker 1: we go to break here.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Chris, what's up, hey, mister Nick, hope you're doing well.
- 22:13Speaker 11: I am.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Oh, I got it big time. This is this is great.
- 22:18Speaker 1: I'm because it took it took like, seriously took him
- 22:22Speaker 1: two minutes to do it. I mean, now that he's
- 22:25Speaker 1: on the phone and not listen, I'm kind of wondering
- 22:27Speaker 1: why it took, you know, two and a half weeks
- 22:28Speaker 1: to get this done. But whatever, it's all good.
- 22:32Speaker 12: He's always gonna save the day. First off, big props
- 22:39Speaker 12: to the Gang, the storyliners there. That was a great show.
- 22:44Speaker 12: Y'all did a great job so today and you know,
- 22:47Speaker 12: those are just really good people.
- 22:49Speaker 1: So no doubt, it's been fun. It's been a lot.
- 22:52Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. And I think they
- 22:54Speaker 1: had a good time, and uh it was it was
- 22:57Speaker 1: humbling too, and I and I let them know, just
- 22:59Speaker 1: like I'll let you you guys know, the show doesn't
- 23:01Speaker 1: happen without the callers, doesn't happen without the support, especially
- 23:05Speaker 1: now that you guys are taking it to another level
- 23:07Speaker 1: with the with the you know, spaces and and really
- 23:10Speaker 1: you know, becoming a community.
- 23:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 23:14Speaker 12: Well, and I'm uscle, I'm glad to see got to
- 23:17Speaker 12: have a little bit. Hopefully behaves for the most part,
- 23:19Speaker 12: but maybe they every once in a while they get
- 23:22Speaker 12: to twist off a little bit, and so there you go.
- 23:26Speaker 12: I get twist off then keyword there before we've been alone.
- 23:31Speaker 12: I was gonna say what I what I was gonna
- 23:34Speaker 12: bring is you're kind of a question and opinion. Do
- 23:40Speaker 12: you think that at some point, like maybe the third
- 23:43Speaker 12: game during the preseason, do you think Shotty might run
- 23:48Speaker 12: the ones out there, I mean the presumed ones at
- 23:52Speaker 12: the time. Of course, we'll know more by then, And
- 23:56Speaker 12: I'm you know, I'm talking about Dak and the first
- 23:59Speaker 12: team for for any amount of time. And if he do,
- 24:02Speaker 12: you think that would.
- 24:03Speaker 5: Be a good idea.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do it, and I don't think
- 24:06Speaker 1: it would be a good idea. I'm I'm, I don't
- 24:09Speaker 1: don't need that. It's just there's just too much risk.
- 24:13Speaker 1: I mean, I've changed my opinion on that over the years,
- 24:17Speaker 1: but you would absolutely just be sick if something happened
- 24:21Speaker 1: in the preseason. And uh, I mean we see it here.
- 24:23Speaker 1: We've seen neck injuries in a non contact practice. We've
- 24:27Speaker 1: seen torn acls out here, other knee injuries and four
- 24:32Speaker 1: to six weeks injury. You just don't need it. You
- 24:35Speaker 1: just you don't. And you have a seventeen game schedule.
- 24:37Speaker 1: I get it, You're not going to be as smooth
- 24:39Speaker 1: as you want in the in the week one, and
- 24:41Speaker 1: they all matter, they all count, But I just can't.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I can't afford it. A sixty million dollars quarterback with
- 24:47Speaker 1: Joe Milton as the backup, can't have any kind of
- 24:49Speaker 1: injury like that in the in the in the pre
- 24:51Speaker 1: you know, in a preseason game, it's not worth it
- 24:53Speaker 1: to me. So I don't think they would.
- 24:55Speaker 12: Either, right, Well, yeah, I'm right with you on that.
- 24:59Speaker 12: I was going to I was gonna call on Monday
- 25:01Speaker 12: after the same question, and I actually changed my mind
- 25:06Speaker 12: since then, you know, I.
- 25:07Speaker 10: Was going to give it the whole.
- 25:08Speaker 11: Maybe they could help with.
- 25:09Speaker 5: The little from a confidence, Yeah, you know, not what
- 25:15Speaker 5: it is.
- 25:16Speaker 12: I don't want to make the headlines.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Go go back and look at at the you know,
- 25:21Speaker 1: the last few years. I mean this season opener, you know,
- 25:25Speaker 1: they they played pretty well against Cleveland. Not the best
- 25:30Speaker 1: on offense, but pretty well. You know, There's been some
- 25:32Speaker 1: games in the openers, you know, Tampa Bay when twenty
- 25:35Speaker 1: twenty one, I mean, they scored thirty points and had
- 25:38Speaker 1: a lot of you know, I had a lot of yards.
- 25:40Speaker 1: They've had some against Tampa at home and it was
- 25:42Speaker 1: not good. So I don't I don't know if there's
- 25:45Speaker 1: a pattern of this team always starts out slow in
- 25:48Speaker 1: the in the preseason, I mean in the regular season,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and they need to have more reps in the in
- 25:53Speaker 1: the you know, preseason. I don't think you can make
- 25:56Speaker 1: a pattern out of that. If you could, you might
- 25:58Speaker 1: have a better argument, or who who ever thinks that
- 26:00Speaker 1: way might have a better argument. But the risk is
- 26:04Speaker 1: just so high, and I still think you're seeing pretty
- 26:07Speaker 1: good success to start the year. So that's why I
- 26:10Speaker 1: just wouldn't risk.
- 26:11Speaker 5: It ight there with you work out the Kings.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
- 26:17Speaker 12: Anyway, Hey man, I appreciate your taking McCall nick, and
- 26:20Speaker 12: hope to talk to you again.

- 28:18Speaker 1: know you guys have a lot to say and we
- 28:20Speaker 1: can get to Armando in Mexico City. Armando, what's up?
- 28:27Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you.
- 28:29Speaker 7: O?
- 28:30Speaker 5: Fun? So I.
- 28:35Speaker 14: Got training?
- 28:36Speaker 8: Yeah, you said, yeah, London, Yeah, I wonder what has
- 28:49Speaker 8: he done?
- 28:49Speaker 13: Have you seen him?
- 28:51Speaker 1: He's getting some reps because they don't have a lot
- 28:54Speaker 1: of options. Mazzie Smith's been kind of banged up. He
- 28:56Speaker 1: hasn't been the best. Someone asked them earlier about Mazzi
- 28:59Speaker 1: and I think Brian in Kansas City asked about him,
- 29:03Speaker 1: and he just hasn't taken that leap that that you want.
- 29:07Speaker 1: And so Jaytoya has done a nice job, but I
- 29:10Speaker 1: mean it's it's still early for him. But he's a
- 29:12Speaker 1: he's a space eater, and you know, I think he's
- 29:16Speaker 1: going to continue to get better and better. So so far,
- 29:19Speaker 1: so good on him, considering you know, he's a low
- 29:21Speaker 1: draft picked and uh, he's playing a position of need.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I think he's done a pretty good job.
- 29:28Speaker 3: I was thinking, yeah, I know, I'm kind of about
- 29:35Speaker 3: new because I really sure that he needed a full training,
- 29:40Speaker 3: So I really he's done.
- 29:43Speaker 1: He's done a good job, you know. Mingo. When he
- 29:45Speaker 1: got here, he had a couple of things going against him,
- 29:48Speaker 1: obviously still learning the offense, and then he didn't play
- 29:51Speaker 1: with Daki. He was playing with Cooper rush and you know,
- 29:54Speaker 1: and Will Greer, I guess in practice and you know,
- 29:57Speaker 1: not a lot of good passes thrown his way. He
- 29:59Speaker 1: really for some reason, he never got a great, you know,
- 30:03Speaker 1: catchable ball thrown it to him. And so we're seeing
- 30:06Speaker 1: a little more consistency there. I think he. I think
- 30:08Speaker 1: there's a more confident player and uh he so far,
- 30:12Speaker 1: so good with him, you know, I mean the receiver's
- 30:14Speaker 1: got a lot of depth to it. The three, four
- 30:16Speaker 1: and five in whatever orders is Turping and and Jalen
- 30:21Speaker 1: Tolbert and and Mingo and then you got Jalen Brooks
- 30:24Speaker 1: in there. So I would say from three to six
- 30:27Speaker 1: you've got some some pretty good competition. And he's right
- 30:29Speaker 1: there in the mix.
- 30:32Speaker 3: I don't have an interesting.
- 30:36Speaker 5: To think.
- 30:36Speaker 14: Well, thank you much done.
- 30:39Speaker 1: All right, have a good one. Thank you so much appreciated, Armando.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Let's keep it going here. We've got Chuck D's in
- 30:48Speaker 1: Bridge City. Chuck D.
- 30:49Speaker 14: What's up man, it's been a while it has been
- 30:53Speaker 14: able to get on. Yeah, it's been hard to get on,
- 30:56Speaker 14: which is good.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's good. That's good. But still want to
- 31:00Speaker 1: hear from from the fellas and you're definitely one of them.
- 31:03Speaker 1: How are you doing? Man?
- 31:04Speaker 11: Good?
- 31:05Speaker 5: Good?
- 31:05Speaker 14: Hey, it ain't from the like of effort.
- 31:07Speaker 1: And appreciate that.
- 31:08Speaker 6: I think.
- 31:09Speaker 14: I think the next story on make a shirt that
- 31:12Speaker 14: said resilient, because you've got to be resilient to keep
- 31:15Speaker 14: calling and calling and calling.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Uh, I should call you guys good. You know, like
- 31:20Speaker 1: we always talk about diehard fans, there's gonna be a
- 31:23Speaker 1: bad one. What y'all are the dial hard fans? All right?
- 31:26Speaker 1: Because y'all y'all have to dial over and over and
- 31:29Speaker 1: over and man, So that's that's what I there that
- 31:32Speaker 1: there's storyline dial hards. So that's good.
- 31:35Speaker 5: That's a good bad joke, Thank you.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Thank you, because I definitely am a dad and I
- 31:40Speaker 1: miss my kids, and so the worse the joke, though,
- 31:42Speaker 1: the better, the better it is for me.
- 31:45Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 31:46Speaker 14: Well, hey, look, I really didn't expect me to get on,
- 31:49Speaker 14: so I guess.
- 31:50Speaker 1: You're just calling and all of a sudden you didn't
- 31:52Speaker 1: didn't Yeah, yeah.
- 31:55Speaker 14: Well, well I'll say, have you seen anything from taking
- 32:01Speaker 14: a big year two leap? Because I know, having a
- 32:03Speaker 14: good center to go a wrong way on that lineman
- 32:06Speaker 14: and they had Frederick and uh some of these you know,
- 32:10Speaker 14: pretty you know dominant centers, it makes a big difference. Now,
- 32:14Speaker 14: I just want to know if you've seen.
- 32:15Speaker 9: That camp so far.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I haven't. I can't sit here and say, boy, he's
- 32:20Speaker 1: looked great again. Offensive linemen don't always stand down, and
- 32:24Speaker 1: especially in practice, and we've just got done talking about
- 32:28Speaker 1: the defensive tackle position just hasn't been that great. So
- 32:31Speaker 1: we're you know, they're not. You know, he's not blocking
- 32:34Speaker 1: Warren Sap in the middle here and they're they don't
- 32:37Speaker 1: have that guy. Now Osa gets in there, and this
- 32:39Speaker 1: has been been you know, good as always, but I
- 32:43Speaker 1: think with him you're gonna have to see it in
- 32:44Speaker 1: the regular season. A couple of things. The shotguns have
- 32:48Speaker 1: to be shotguns, STAPs have to be on point, and
- 32:51Speaker 1: they have been, and I think he's going to be fine.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I just don't think we're there yet. But but with
- 32:57Speaker 1: offensive linemen, especially at center, those those guys get talked
- 33:00Speaker 1: about when something bad happens, and you haven't seen it
- 33:02Speaker 1: a lot, necessarily with him. So that's a good thing.
- 33:06Speaker 1: They could have opened a little bit more holes yesterday
- 33:08Speaker 1: and run the ball better. They didn't do that. He's
- 33:10Speaker 1: a part of that. So let's don't sit here and
- 33:12Speaker 1: say it's been perfect. But I think for the most
- 33:14Speaker 1: part you're seeing that year one to year two jump
- 33:18Speaker 1: and I think he's right on path for that.
- 33:21Speaker 5: All right, well, I appreciate it, man.
- 33:23Speaker 1: All Right, Chuck, see you later, man, have a good
- 33:26Speaker 1: and thank you for getting in. I do want to
- 33:28Speaker 1: say this, but I know I'm wearing the kind of
- 33:30Speaker 1: different gear today. If you chance this haul up, I
- 33:34Speaker 1: mean this Hail Mary shirt that you get. They have
- 33:37Speaker 1: it at the Cowboys Pro Shop. And I'm telling you, man,
- 33:40Speaker 1: it's cool because this is the fiftieth year anniversary of
- 33:43Speaker 1: the Hail Mary happened in nineteen seventy five. But like
- 33:48Speaker 1: it is the softest shirt ever. I mean it could
- 33:50Speaker 1: say like the Music City Miracle or even the Catch
- 33:55Speaker 1: with Dwight Clark. I mean maybe that might strike a
- 33:58Speaker 1: nerve to others, but like I don't care, Like I
- 34:00Speaker 1: think I think it still might wear it. It's so
- 34:02Speaker 1: it's so thin soft, it's awesome. I know you can
- 34:04Speaker 1: get it in the Cowboys Pro Shop. So I love it.
- 34:07Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I had to had to
- 34:08Speaker 1: rocket today. All right, Let's go to Anthony and Miami.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Anthony the quick, what's up my guy, how you doing.
- 34:17Speaker 11: I'm doing pretty good, man, Nick, let me say somethingbout
- 34:20Speaker 11: what you just said. Not to catch Nick, I was
- 34:22Speaker 11: like Ted, I was like, oh I was. I wear
- 34:25Speaker 11: that kid's heart.
- 34:26Speaker 1: I wear it inside out, all right.
- 34:31Speaker 11: Well, there's two points, two points none one like an accolade.
- 34:36Speaker 11: And basically to Davyyon the Devyond, I took one for
- 34:42Speaker 11: your mom last night, man, took the old shop for
- 34:45Speaker 11: your mom. Resume. She rest in peach, beautiful queen. She
- 34:49Speaker 11: was a cowboy for life. She cool with me. I
- 34:51Speaker 11: saw so with that being said, I saw you guys
- 34:56Speaker 11: just today.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Man.
- 34:57Speaker 11: It filled my heart.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Man.
- 34:59Speaker 11: You know what, I haven't been to a training camp,
- 35:01Speaker 11: but I've been to Texas Stadium and all that and
- 35:05Speaker 11: stuff like that, you know, for some part tests and
- 35:07Speaker 11: whatever so many times. So but you guys to fulfill
- 35:10Speaker 11: like sorry said a dream. I mean, damn, that's that's
- 35:14Speaker 11: wild man. I'm happy for you guys. The laby next
- 35:16Speaker 11: year will see that. Kick me up on one of
- 35:18Speaker 11: the YouTube things. Because I don't have the spaces, I
- 35:20Speaker 11: don't have social media. And he was like, Anthony, I
- 35:22Speaker 11: don't know who we're gonna have to do something, so
- 35:24Speaker 11: you never know Nick on that part. But I appreciated
- 35:27Speaker 11: everybody I saw, y'all. I really enjoyed y'all. Man, I
- 35:32Speaker 11: see I see you, Captain Rob, I see you with
- 35:34Speaker 11: the go cheat.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was it was cool.
- 35:38Speaker 10: That was the first point. Okay, second point.
- 35:41Speaker 11: Wow, this one's tough. And if you've been following me,
- 35:45Speaker 11: you know that's my main guy. Defended him since he's
- 35:48Speaker 11: been in the league. Michael came along and became my
- 35:51Speaker 11: one beast. And I don't really want to get on
- 35:55Speaker 11: their contract thing. But at the same time, I love
- 35:58Speaker 11: Michael man. I'm so proud. When we were debating whether
- 36:01Speaker 11: we should tank or not last year, Remember I was
- 36:03Speaker 11: team no tank, and when I him said and this
- 36:06Speaker 11: and that, and then try to file up guys and
- 36:08Speaker 11: say he's looking out for Whosa Mazy. He wants his guys,
- 36:11Speaker 11: he wants to work with him to help him. I
- 36:13Speaker 11: just want the man on the team. So all I
- 36:15Speaker 11: can say on that one, I whole game won against
- 36:17Speaker 11: the Eagles. Michael's there and plays and and yes, contract,
- 36:22Speaker 11: so that's all I got to finished week, all.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Right, thanks Anthony, And I really believe that he will.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I think Michael will be here there's no doubt about him.
- 36:32Speaker 1: He's you know, I think he's gonna play with I
- 36:34Speaker 1: mean it's simple. I mean, he's out here in the walkthroughs,
- 36:38Speaker 1: he's here, he's you know, attending. Uh, he's not getting fined.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I mean he could easily do that, and and uh,
- 36:47Speaker 1: he wants to be a part of it. If he's
- 36:48Speaker 1: not getting fined for practice, you're gonna get fined for
- 36:51Speaker 1: a game. You're not gonna miss a game. Check He's
- 36:53Speaker 1: gonna play.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Uh.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I But I still think they will get something done
- 36:57Speaker 1: between them. They need to build momentum. They need that,
- 37:00Speaker 1: and I just think both sides will will agree to
- 37:03Speaker 1: do that. As for Anthony, as for the talking about
- 37:07Speaker 1: the team here, you know, I think that in speaking
- 37:13Speaker 1: with them, I think that they feel like, you know,
- 37:16Speaker 1: they're representing so many more. I mean, yeah, it was seven.
- 37:20Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a small number considering how many
- 37:23Speaker 1: callers we have, and I mean, heck, I think there's
- 37:26Speaker 1: thirty five or thirty eight on the on the All
- 37:28Speaker 1: Storyline team, and of the seven, five of them were
- 37:33Speaker 1: made it. But my point is is that I think
- 37:36Speaker 1: they they kind of feel like the ambassadors of the
- 37:39Speaker 1: group and and and we're here in spirit. You know,
- 37:42Speaker 1: so many other people here in spirit, and they're kind
- 37:43Speaker 1: of representing you guys. So now we can I don't
- 37:47Speaker 1: have to speculate on that. I can kind of go
- 37:49Speaker 1: to the next caller and see what they think. This
- 37:51Speaker 1: is Sergeist, Sue. He's from l A X right now, leaving,
- 37:57Speaker 1: leaving the la going back home. Now, what going on?
- 38:00Speaker 6: Man?
- 38:01Speaker 5: Correct?
- 38:01Speaker 9: How you doing, Chris?
- 38:02Speaker 1: Okay, me like that?
- 38:05Speaker 5: Huh hey, hey, no, it.
- 38:07Speaker 9: Was great to see you guys. I'm doing well. Uh
- 38:09Speaker 9: But Derek, one thing that I want to talk about
- 38:11Speaker 9: was watching the practice. Man being there, I thought, you know, you.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Know, I can play this game too, all right, Ray,
- 38:18Speaker 1: I can play this game too, all right, Chuck and
- 38:21Speaker 1: Anthony and that I could do this too all day
- 38:23Speaker 1: long if you really want to play this game, because
- 38:25Speaker 1: you're the one that actually has called it and has
- 38:27Speaker 1: like three different names. I don't even know what to
- 38:29Speaker 1: call you. Okay, is it Dave? Is it the Rock?
- 38:33Speaker 1: Is it the pebble? I don't really know, but no, no, Ikay,
- 38:36Speaker 1: you it's fun. It's fun hanging out with you guys,
- 38:39Speaker 1: for sure.
- 38:40Speaker 9: For sure, for sure. Now, But I was gonna say
- 38:43Speaker 9: one one guy that really stood out to me. I've
- 38:45Speaker 9: spoken about it a little bit, but given books, he
- 38:48Speaker 9: did really well. Man, he stood out. He was one
- 38:50Speaker 9: of those guys that I felt like, is like, you know,
- 38:53Speaker 9: I don't think he's you know, gonna be much you
- 38:55Speaker 9: know in that wide receiver room. But I thought he
- 38:57Speaker 9: made a lot of plays and hopan is is somebody
- 39:00Speaker 9: who I'm really really excited to see more often. That's
- 39:02Speaker 9: a guy who you know, it's it's he's getting hard
- 39:05Speaker 9: to cover one on one. So I was watching yesterday
- 39:07Speaker 9: and if I saw turping out there and if I
- 39:09Speaker 9: felt like he was in man coverage, I'm watching him,
- 39:12Speaker 9: I'm like, yo, try to get him the ball on
- 39:13Speaker 9: like a crossing route or something where he's where he
- 39:15Speaker 9: forces that corner, that nickel corner, whoever it is, so
- 39:18Speaker 9: to play to trail him. If a corner's trailing him,
- 39:20Speaker 9: he's already got to beat. So that's only thing that
- 39:22Speaker 9: I was really excited about. Man. But uh, I wanted
- 39:24Speaker 9: to she sid light on that.
- 39:25Speaker 10: Man.
- 39:25Speaker 9: Some of the wide receivers that I didn't expect to
- 39:27Speaker 9: really jump out jumped out, and yeah, I thought it
- 39:29Speaker 9: was really it was. It was very interesting. But now
- 39:32Speaker 9: I really appreciate you guys.
- 39:33Speaker 7: Man.
- 39:33Speaker 9: Of course I'm leaving, and you know all the storyliners
- 39:36Speaker 9: everybody who's listening to man like, uh my, my best
- 39:38Speaker 9: advice to anybody is just keep calling, man, keep calling.
- 39:41Speaker 9: And if you haven't called yet and you're kind of nervous,
- 39:44Speaker 9: a little bit apprehensive, man like I was the same
- 39:46Speaker 9: exact way. And and genuinely I could say that making
- 39:49Speaker 9: that phone call that one day after the Giants game,
- 39:51Speaker 9: you know whatever, three years ago, however long it was ago,
- 39:54Speaker 9: it changed my life. Man, it really did. So you know,
- 39:57Speaker 9: if you if you're listening, you know, just Nicks the
- 39:59Speaker 9: cool guy. Man, Chris is a cool guy, give him
- 40:01Speaker 9: a call. Chop it up.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Man.
- 40:03Speaker 9: We're a community, you mean, I mean, so, I appreciate
- 40:05Speaker 9: you guys so much.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, well I appreciate you. Thank you so much.
- 40:08Speaker 1: And y'all be you'd be safe going back. Knew it was.
- 40:11Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun and and uh, you know,
- 40:15Speaker 1: to think where things have, you know, started just a
- 40:18Speaker 1: couple of years ago. This is season three, but it's
- 40:20Speaker 1: been two years ago that we were I was here
- 40:23Speaker 1: and and think about how how different it is when
- 40:26Speaker 1: I did that very first show, which is, you know,
- 40:29Speaker 1: twenty four months ago, I'm sitting here, there's no phone
- 40:33Speaker 1: line as sure as heck it's and an umbrella above me,
- 40:36Speaker 1: and it was sitting out here in the sun, and
- 40:39Speaker 1: I had to I didn't even have a text line.
- 40:41Speaker 1: We just had to do stuff off of Twitter. I
- 40:44Speaker 1: think he was even called Twitter back then. But but now,
- 40:48Speaker 1: you know, now, just look at how things have evolved,
- 40:50Speaker 1: and you guys came out and you guys, it's really
- 40:52Speaker 1: a family. So that's what's awesome about it, really, really
- 40:55Speaker 1: is great. I'm gonna go to break here on the
- 40:57Speaker 1: Cowboys story and I'll be right back after this.

- 42:08Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline. H I'm just
- 42:12Speaker 1: looking at my umbrella here that we had. Chris has
- 42:15Speaker 1: done an amazing job, and I just I was I
- 42:18Speaker 1: was not. I was kind of playfully joking around. He's
- 42:21Speaker 1: sitting here, he's got this, he's got this cart of
- 42:23Speaker 1: all this equipment over here that can't get hit by
- 42:26Speaker 1: the sun. So it's an it's an umbrella, but he's
- 42:28Speaker 1: in it too, and so I just said, hey, nice
- 42:31Speaker 1: umbrella over there. Hell is it? He's like, you can
- 42:33Speaker 1: join me? If you want. It's gonna be kind of
- 42:34Speaker 1: hard on the show. But next thing I know, he's
- 42:37Speaker 1: running around getting getting like little boxes and getting a
- 42:40Speaker 1: stand and then he comes back with the umbrella. And
- 42:42Speaker 1: then now now it's now it's a little I'm a
- 42:45Speaker 1: little chilly now. Actually no, I'm kidding, but it's it's awesome.
- 42:48Speaker 1: So I don't know what it looks like on camera,
- 42:49Speaker 1: but I think it's pretty cool. All right, let's keep
- 42:51Speaker 1: going here. Let's go to Lester in Minnesota. Leicester. What's up, man,
- 42:54Speaker 1: you're in a good mood today.
- 42:57Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, I said, you may right.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Now we're off to a big start
- 43:02Speaker 1: for sure. How you doing many.
- 43:05Speaker 10: First of all, I want to say a shout out
- 43:07Speaker 10: to all the people who showed up, the captains and
- 43:10Speaker 10: everyone else. Big shouts out to them. It was a
- 43:14Speaker 10: great show. I watched it the other day, and I
- 43:22Speaker 10: hope I went too hard on the other day.
- 43:24Speaker 1: It's all right, passionate, that's all good. That's what it's for.
- 43:29Speaker 1: That's what it's for. That's why I had a nice talk.
- 43:31Speaker 1: We talked to Rob about it the other day. I
- 43:34Speaker 1: was like, yeah, Rob, Rob can get get after it.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I'll throw it back. But at the end of the day,
- 43:38Speaker 1: it's all good. And I know where it stems from.
- 43:41Speaker 1: It stems from being a passionate cowboy fan that's frustrated
- 43:44Speaker 1: because it's not where you want them to be. So
- 43:47Speaker 1: I understand that.
- 43:49Speaker 10: Well, yeah, man, I just it was one of to
- 43:53Speaker 10: just clarify one of the things I was talking about
- 43:58Speaker 10: when I said pay him whatever or you know they want,
- 44:01Speaker 10: I didn't mean it literally. I think I said that,
- 44:03Speaker 10: but anyway, what I meant by that is when I
- 44:05Speaker 10: was saying, get the ten core players, sit them down whatever. Basically,
- 44:12Speaker 10: you tear them off, you say, okay, you know, you
- 44:14Speaker 10: have your little tier, you have your little chart or
- 44:17Speaker 10: I'm talking about to on the gym, and then you know,
- 44:20Speaker 10: you pay them. As you know, after two years, you
- 44:24Speaker 10: sit them down, say hey, I want to pay you
- 44:25Speaker 10: now and get it.
- 44:27Speaker 5: Out of the way.
- 44:28Speaker 10: Of course they may say no, no, my agent or whatever,
- 44:31Speaker 10: but then you get another year to kind of you know,
- 44:35Speaker 10: keep poking at them saying, hey, anyway, you had the tier.
- 44:38Speaker 10: Some some some are in a tier where you go
- 44:41Speaker 10: over pay them, is what I mean, maybe one or
- 44:44Speaker 10: two of them and then the rest, you know, if
- 44:47Speaker 10: they don't fit what you're looking for, you let them go,
- 44:50Speaker 10: and like I said, y'allways replacing them. You're always looking
- 44:52Speaker 10: for their replacement anyway. Anyway, That's why I wanted to
- 44:55Speaker 10: verify that. But I have some other things I wanted
- 44:58Speaker 10: to talk about. So how did my offensive and my
- 45:05Speaker 10: defensive line look yesterday?
- 45:08Speaker 1: Not the best?
- 45:10Speaker 5: Not the best?
- 45:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was the line of scrimmage.
- 45:15Speaker 1: I don't think was was won by the Cowboys in
- 45:18Speaker 1: this scrimm, in this practice for Matt. I don't you know,
- 45:21Speaker 1: if somebody had to be a winner and a loser,
- 45:23Speaker 1: I don't think you put a ton of stock in
- 45:24Speaker 1: it because of what it is and what they're trying
- 45:27Speaker 1: to do out here. But I think you could tell
- 45:30Speaker 1: that that you're you're talking with a new you know,
- 45:34Speaker 1: you got a system in place with the Rams that
- 45:37Speaker 1: have been here a while and in a lot of continuity,
- 45:39Speaker 1: and you could tell that there was there was some
- 45:41Speaker 1: some newness going on with the Cowboys.
- 45:44Speaker 10: Okay, all right? And then the other thing I wanted
- 45:48Speaker 10: to touch upon. I think it was about a year
- 45:50Speaker 10: ago I mentioned, uh something about C. J.
- 45:54Speaker 5: Goodwin.
- 45:55Speaker 10: Well, maybe it was two years ago. And when we
- 45:57Speaker 10: were having problems with you know, people getting hurt on
- 46:00Speaker 10: the receiver side or the cornerback side, whichever one. And
- 46:04Speaker 10: I was like, well, why don't you put him in?
- 46:07Speaker 11: Put him in?
- 46:07Speaker 10: And then you advise me that they have him on
- 46:11Speaker 10: the depth chart as a CB. But he's really played
- 46:14Speaker 10: wide receiver in college. I didn't know that, yep, but
- 46:17Speaker 10: I heard on another show I think Girls Talk to
- 46:20Speaker 10: Boys Talk or whatever, they were saying that Shody is
- 46:24Speaker 10: actually practicing him.
- 46:26Speaker 1: At whide receiver.
- 46:28Speaker 10: That when I made that statement was is that instead
- 46:31Speaker 10: of being all shocked and trying to find somebody else,
- 46:35Speaker 10: which she's still gonna do if someone get hurt, let's
- 46:37Speaker 10: have some people that can step in.
- 46:39Speaker 11: So even even I know we have.
- 46:41Speaker 10: Third screenforcing, but let's have some people that can, like
- 46:44Speaker 10: like CJ that maybe he's a sixth screen, but you
- 46:47Speaker 10: can put him in there until you find somebody.
- 46:49Speaker 11: That's all I was.
- 46:50Speaker 10: That's the point I was trying to make a couple
- 46:51Speaker 10: of years ago.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Okay, and there could be there's something to that for sure.
- 46:59Speaker 1: All right, what else we gotta keep it keep it rolling?
- 47:02Speaker 5: What else you got uh?
- 47:06Speaker 10: Run the ball, play action pass, throw the ball to
- 47:13Speaker 10: my boy CD and my new guy kickings ninety eight
- 47:18Speaker 10: range catch.
- 47:19Speaker 1: All right, that's all I got, cowboy, all right, Lester,
- 47:22Speaker 1: I have a good one. Appreciate that. You know, you
- 47:25Speaker 1: talk about getting these guys, these ten core guys whatever,
- 47:28Speaker 1: you know, when you look at it on the tiers,
- 47:31Speaker 1: I mean, you've got guys that are the best in
- 47:34Speaker 1: in in the league, the highest paid in the league
- 47:37Speaker 1: at their position, you know, And and and if they're not,
- 47:40Speaker 1: they're they're up there. I mean, dak is at quarterback,
- 47:42Speaker 1: CD is right there at at wide receiver, second or third. Micah,
- 47:48Speaker 1: when this thing is done, will be the highest paid
- 47:51Speaker 1: defensive end or pass rusher. Tyler Smith's gonna get paid,
- 47:55Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna be the highest paid guard or
- 47:57Speaker 1: one of Diggs is still up there is one of
- 48:00Speaker 1: the highest paid cornerbacks. Osa a defensive tackle. Twenty million
- 48:04Speaker 1: a year. I mean, that's that's not that's not right
- 48:07Speaker 1: at the top, but it's twenty million a year. Still
- 48:09Speaker 1: is Bland's gonna get some money. Ferguson is now one
- 48:12Speaker 1: of the highest paid tight ends. Turpin's definitely one of
- 48:15Speaker 1: the highest paid kick returners. And then and gadget players,
- 48:19Speaker 1: and then Terrence Steele at right tackle is pretty up
- 48:21Speaker 1: there as well. So there's ten guys. Aubrey's gonna get
- 48:25Speaker 1: paid at some point compared for a kicker standpoint, he'll
- 48:28Speaker 1: get paid. So you know, that's kind of what you
- 48:30Speaker 1: what you have that's pretty top heavy, and that's why
- 48:32Speaker 1: it's so important to develop some of these younger guys.
- 48:34Speaker 1: All right, one more caller before we have to go.
- 48:36Speaker 1: Jonathan and Fullerton, California. Jonathan, what's up, Bud? Hey, Nick?
- 48:41Speaker 16: How you doing?
- 48:41Speaker 1: I'm great? How are you good?
- 48:44Speaker 5: Good?
- 48:45Speaker 17: Well, I was wanting to say, I mean for the cutoff,
- 48:51Speaker 17: but just a few cool questions and then I know
- 48:54Speaker 17: you're stuck on time.
- 48:56Speaker 16: First question is, isn't common and like all the business
- 49:01Speaker 16: negotiations for like owners to do deals.
- 49:06Speaker 18: Without the agent, Like I know, there's a whole bunch
- 49:09Speaker 18: of talk I don't only get to maybe I was
- 49:11Speaker 18: just curious on that like specific thing, like that's the
- 49:14Speaker 18: common practice for Yeah, it's the or whoever to do
- 49:18Speaker 18: deals with the just the player slowly because I just assumed,
- 49:21Speaker 18: like all.
- 49:22Speaker 5: The agents they have to be there.
- 49:24Speaker 16: And then I'm going to the game, the preseason game
- 49:28Speaker 16: to Saturday what what are you looking forward to the game,
- 49:31Speaker 16: Like there are a chance we get some starters to play.
- 49:34Speaker 10: I know we haven't for a few years, and.
- 49:36Speaker 16: We got some slow starts to the seasons. I don't
- 49:39Speaker 16: know what the new head coach. Maybe there's a chance
- 49:41Speaker 16: we can see Deck or anyone do a driver or something.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine probably not a lot of starters. Uh,
- 49:49Speaker 1: definitely not Dak. You know, I could see maybe on
- 49:53Speaker 1: defense they throw some linebackers or something maybe, but I
- 49:57Speaker 1: just don't see that that's gonna happen a lot that
- 50:00Speaker 1: there's you know, there's three games to play. You got
- 50:02Speaker 1: ninety one guys. There's a lot of guys you want
- 50:04Speaker 1: to see and get out here. I just think that's
- 50:07Speaker 1: why they do it. That's why they put scrimmage the
- 50:09Speaker 1: way they scrimmage and practice here to kind of get
- 50:12Speaker 1: the starters some reps against another team. That's kind of
- 50:15Speaker 1: the first preseason game, if you will. That's the closest
- 50:18Speaker 1: thing you're gonna see to that and then from there
- 50:21Speaker 1: that they're going to play these things out. As for
- 50:23Speaker 1: the other question you said about Micah, you know the
- 50:27Speaker 1: owner does he talk to you know, without the agent.
- 50:32Speaker 1: I cann't tell you that. I mean, I don't think
- 50:34Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that don't even know, you know,
- 50:38Speaker 1: twenty of the other owners in the league what their
- 50:41Speaker 1: name is.
- 50:41Speaker 7: You know.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Jerry's obviously in a different category, high profile. He's the
- 50:45Speaker 1: GM also, so to throw that part out there too.
- 50:48Speaker 1: He's the GM and the and the owner. And I
- 50:51Speaker 1: think what he did is it was an agreement. I mean,
- 50:54Speaker 1: that's what they thought, and I think that's sort of normal. Hey,
- 50:57Speaker 1: it's a handshake deal. It's an agreement. We've got one. Now,
- 51:00Speaker 1: let's go draw it up, you know, and get the
- 51:01Speaker 1: people involved to do that. And then in that process,
- 51:04Speaker 1: that's where the bottom kind of fell out. That's where
- 51:07Speaker 1: we are right now. So again, I still think it'll
- 51:10Speaker 1: come back. All Right, we gotta wrap this thing up.
- 51:13Speaker 1: We're gonna have a live press conference here with Brian
- 51:15Speaker 1: Shott and I'm here in just a second, and we'll
- 51:16Speaker 1: have some stories later in the day. We'll get to
- 51:18Speaker 1: talk to some of the assistant coaches as well. All right,
- 51:21Speaker 1: fun show, appreciate all the callers. Be safe to the
- 51:24Speaker 1: people going back home. Happy birthday again to Dylan who
- 51:29Speaker 1: really kind of organized this along with Irene did a great,
