Speaker 1: May the seventh. What's just going on really around the
0:34
Speaker 1: Cowboys front right now? But it's still always things to

Speaker 1: the middle of June early July when there's really really
0:44
Speaker 1: nothing going on. But you know, when it's Cowboys and
0:47
Speaker 1: it's it's twenty four to seven news, it can break
0:51
Speaker 1: it anytime, So you know, it'll be fun to see
0:54
Speaker 1: what you guys come up with. But as far as
0:56
Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of this no man's land,
0:59
Speaker 1: from the draft to the players coming in later this week,
1:02
Speaker 1: they'll be here this week, the rookies will for a
1:04
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp, then after that the OTAs will we'll
1:08
Speaker 1: you know, get cranking and then a mini camp. Uh,
1:12
Speaker 1: and that's kind of for the next I would say
1:14
Speaker 1: five to six weeks uh here, but really about four
1:18
Speaker 1: weeks because the things will end in early June and
1:20
Speaker 1: then there really will be nothing going on. But uh,
1:23
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about it, Let's talk about whatever. Y'all
1:25
Speaker 1: want a to A eight five five two two nine seven.
1:28
Speaker 1: That's the number to call. You can text us eight
1:30
Speaker 1: one seven two nine zero three two nine to eight.
1:34
Speaker 1: Let's start off in Miami. We got Anthony, what's up?
1:39
Speaker 3: What's up? Nick? The quake? What's up? My guys?
1:42
Speaker 1: How are you doing?
1:44
Speaker 3: I'm doing pretty good, man, Pretty good, pretty good. I heard,
1:48
Speaker 3: I heard the monologue, and I agree with you on
1:51
Speaker 3: all of that. But it's always something.
1:53
Speaker 1: To talk about always as we as we.
1:56
Speaker 3: Know what our cowboys. You know, everybody TV pundits, cowboy fans, haters, lovers,
2:03
Speaker 3: they you know, they got a thing on what they
2:05
Speaker 3: want the cowboys to be, what they should be, what
2:07
Speaker 3: they lack. And you know, so I'm sitting around and
2:10
Speaker 3: I love my count Cowboys for life. I'm bias to
2:12
Speaker 3: the head. You know, I'll critique, but I won't criticize.
2:16
Speaker 3: But I looked up something. I remember coming up with
2:18
Speaker 3: an acronym dack, just with account of exsistency. So I said,
2:22
Speaker 3: let me come up with something on one I see
2:24
Speaker 3: this year with a lane duck coach. I guess two
2:27
Speaker 3: coaches basically some players that may not be there or whatever.
2:30
Speaker 3: So what kind of year could this be? I still
2:33
Speaker 3: believe the Cowboys can win eleven games, and this is
2:36
Speaker 3: how they can do it. If you brought coach Mike Zimmer.
2:39
Speaker 3: They know the history of this man. You're gonna You're
2:44
Speaker 3: gonna require something like a mentality, right, a mental, physical toughness,
2:51
Speaker 3: a mindset. So I came up with this thing called
2:54
Speaker 3: M squared. Both mics. You got coaching Mike who's supposed
2:58
Speaker 3: to be tough to head, coach Hearty from Pittsburgh, all
3:01
Speaker 3: this stuff. It's a tough nose guy. He looks it,
3:05
Speaker 3: but is he really Is he instill in this stuff
3:08
Speaker 3: in his players? And I know it's a one year
3:10
Speaker 3: kind of trial thing, but I think the NFC championship
3:13
Speaker 3: visit visit will solve a lot of problems. Right, So
3:18
Speaker 3: you go M square. So you go M square for
3:21
Speaker 3: the two coach Mike's on offense on defense, you go
3:25
Speaker 3: M square. Mentality and mindset. People would think mentality and
3:30
Speaker 3: mindset is the same thing. No, it's two different things.
3:32
Speaker 3: Mentality is kind of like the total sum of it.
3:35
Speaker 3: The mindset.
3:36
Speaker 1: I'm about to check out with all this math thok here,
3:39
Speaker 1: I'm about to check out, really like, I'm just serious,
3:42
Speaker 1: math M square? How about the point?
3:47
Speaker 3: The point? The point is, what it comes down to
3:51
Speaker 3: is a mindset of toughness, mental toughness and physical toughness.
3:56
Speaker 3: The team has to get tougher. The discipline. Of course,
3:59
Speaker 3: we know, we know where lack of that. You know,
4:02
Speaker 3: Sam William stuff and guys right there with all his potential,
4:05
Speaker 3: but just have these disciplinary problems. If we get this
4:08
Speaker 3: mindset and this toughness and hopefully they still that, I
4:11
Speaker 3: don't care what they go out there. They got a
4:13
Speaker 3: good team, you got some fill some voys, So go
4:16
Speaker 3: out there with that. How about let's just steal that
4:19
Speaker 3: and let's see what this cowboy team can do. Had
4:21
Speaker 3: to go the long way, but I had to kind
4:23
Speaker 3: of get back to them to make that point. So
4:25
Speaker 3: a right, what I'm doing?
4:27
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for the call, Anthony. I'm not sure he
4:33
Speaker 1: had to do that. I'm not sure he had to
4:35
Speaker 1: go through the uh you know, math class there and
4:40
Speaker 1: algebra one on one or just saying they need to
4:43
Speaker 1: be tough. I mean, it's tough. You're you're Zimbra's a
4:46
Speaker 1: tough guy. McCarthy's a tough guy. These coaches, they're on
4:49
Speaker 1: a one year deal. You know, they gotta they gotta
4:52
Speaker 1: put the team on their back and and and and
4:55
Speaker 1: out tough these guys. You know, I don't know, Sorry,
4:59
Speaker 1: MATHI was never my thing and you had me going there.
5:05
Speaker 1: But I think the point you're trying to say is
5:08
Speaker 1: that this is a good football team. They're gonna have
5:10
Speaker 1: to figure out something thats and and look at the schedule.
5:14
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's ever a division that is always tough,
5:18
Speaker 1: it's the AFC North. They're they're tough. Those are tough teams.
5:23
Speaker 1: Baltimore's tough, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati. You have to be when
5:27
Speaker 1: you're when you're playing each other. And that's the division
5:30
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are playing in the AFC. And then you
5:34
Speaker 1: got the first place schedule with with the other games
5:36
Speaker 1: you're playing, you're playing the first place teams in uh
5:39
Speaker 1: you know, with Houston and San Francisco, Detroit. Detroit looks
5:43
Speaker 1: like a tough team. So this team has got to
5:46
Speaker 1: be tough. And uh So, I think that's what you're
5:48
Speaker 1: trying to say. You're not wrong, You're not wrong by
5:50
Speaker 1: that that that's that's one thing this team has to do.
5:52
Speaker 1: They can't get pushed around. If you look at the draft,
5:55
Speaker 1: they did draft some guys that were bigger, stronger, guys
5:58
Speaker 1: that could play in the trenches. The guys that did
6:00
Speaker 1: a lot of pushing around in college. You'll see if
6:02
Speaker 1: they can do that in the pros. All right, Tim
6:04
Speaker 1: and Grapevine. Goodness, hear from you. Tim.
6:07
Speaker 4: What's up my guy? Good afternoon? Been a minute.
6:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. We have lists of like,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, who's on the All Storyline team, and we're
6:16
Speaker 1: seeing if we got there. You know, their their addresses
6:19
Speaker 1: and stuff, and so, you know, some of these people
6:21
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from in a while since the last loss.
6:24
Speaker 1: We're like, you know, hope everything's okay. So it's good
6:27
Speaker 1: to hear from you. You're not doing that.
6:29
Speaker 4: I'm glad I made first team All Pro. I appreciate it.
6:31
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you got some work to do if
6:33
Speaker 1: you're going to do it again. I mean, I haven't
6:34
Speaker 1: heard from you in a while.
6:36
Speaker 4: Some of these guys, Hey, my shirt size might be small,
6:38
Speaker 4: but don't let that for you. I got a big heart.
6:40
Speaker 1: All right, All right, sounds good?
6:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, I was looking at my wounds. It
6:45
Speaker 4: took me a good while this year, I'll be honest,
6:47
Speaker 4: fair you know, I went through that phase of I'm
6:50
Speaker 4: watching war movies and documentaries. I'm listening to Winston Churchill speeches,
6:55
Speaker 4: you know, classical, you know, male stuff. That's the way
6:59
Speaker 4: I heal a lead. All right, the gardening, lawn work,
7:02
Speaker 4: you know. And then the draft happens. That was like
7:06
Speaker 4: the uplift I needed. The hope has been restored. I'm
7:09
Speaker 4: starting to get back into it. And then last weekend
7:13
Speaker 4: I went to the Star in Frisco, And if anyone
7:16
Speaker 4: hasn't been there, it's listening. If you need to pick
7:19
Speaker 4: me up when it comes to the Cowboys. If you
7:21
Speaker 4: go to the Star and Frisco and walk around, take
7:23
Speaker 4: a tour or whatever, eat at the Concrete Cowboy, I
7:27
Speaker 4: promise you you'll be feeling a million times better about
7:30
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. So speaking to that, Nick, I wanted to
7:32
Speaker 4: ask you. I'm going to put you on the spot.
7:35
Speaker 4: Do you have any cool stories about your time at
7:38
Speaker 4: the Star or maybe even Oxnard because that's coming up
7:42
Speaker 4: soon too.
7:42
Speaker 1: Cool story from ox start in the.
7:44
Speaker 4: Star or the Star and or and I'll hang up all.
7:48
Speaker 1: Right, all right, good, good to hear from you. Tim.
7:52
Speaker 1: Let me think about that for a second. But you know,
7:54
Speaker 1: I'll say this, and I've had to use this line
7:57
Speaker 1: a couple of times. You know, they do a lot
7:59
Speaker 1: of tours right here, you know, and we're walking through
8:01
Speaker 1: the hall and you'll see a tour and there's be
8:03
Speaker 1: a lot of people and they're loud and sometimes you know,
8:06
Speaker 1: I mean, and and some of the tours that are
8:10
Speaker 1: at certain places at the building, you actually hear a
8:13
Speaker 1: lot because you walk past it a lot, so you
8:15
Speaker 1: kind of you hear the script and their spiel and
8:17
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so yeah, sometimes you know, people
8:20
Speaker 1: will will say certain things about the tours and all that.
8:23
Speaker 1: But my line is always this, don't forget you work
8:26
Speaker 1: at a place where they give tours. I mean, just
8:29
Speaker 1: just imagine where other people, your friends, your wife, your husband, whatever,
8:33
Speaker 1: wherever they work, and you're like, do they give a
8:35
Speaker 1: tour there? People show up to you know, And so
8:38
Speaker 1: just to put it in perspective, not to be that guy,
8:40
Speaker 1: because I understand life happens and you get annoyed by
8:43
Speaker 1: little things. I know I'm the same way. But you know,
8:45
Speaker 1: you got to remember a big picture, like you work
8:47
Speaker 1: at a place where they actually people come in and
8:49
Speaker 1: pay to go walk around where you work, you know,
8:52
Speaker 1: don't don't forget that. So that's something that that I've
8:56
Speaker 1: always thought of. I mean, I need a whole show,
9:00
Speaker 1: oh for like Oxnard stories or I couldn't even tell you.
9:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the one that always comes to
9:09
Speaker 1: mind because it was some It was strange. First of all,
9:13
Speaker 1: you remember the day. You can count on one hand,
9:15
Speaker 1: really how many times it's rained in ox Stard. I mean,
9:18
Speaker 1: it just doesn't doesn't rain. And so when it does,
9:23
Speaker 1: and I feel like last year did a couple of times,
9:25
Speaker 1: but I mean, but for the most part, it really
9:27
Speaker 1: just hasn't. But I do remember one year and Chris
9:29
Speaker 1: probably remembers this because I remember us talking about it.
9:32
Speaker 1: It was just pouring sheets of rain and it was
9:35
Speaker 1: so shocking. But the big news of the day was
9:37
Speaker 1: that we had this rookie wide receiver who was really
9:39
Speaker 1: doing well. He was doing well, he was making you know,
9:42
Speaker 1: making headway. He's gonna make the team, no doubt about it,
9:45
Speaker 1: and he just quit. He quit the team, he left
9:48
Speaker 1: went home, and I couldn't couldn't take it. Anymore, you know,
9:52
Speaker 1: and it his name was Cole Beasley, and you know
9:55
Speaker 1: he was done. He something that was happening back home
9:57
Speaker 1: and never really got the full story on it. But
10:00
Speaker 1: what happened, and you know, and that's happened before, but
10:04
Speaker 1: this one, Jerry was like, hold up, hold up, now,
10:07
Speaker 1: let's let's call this guy up and let's let's find
10:09
Speaker 1: out what's happening. And I think by the time he
10:11
Speaker 1: landed back in Dallas, they were already on the phone
10:14
Speaker 1: with him and they said, no, no, you need to
10:16
Speaker 1: come on back. Let's fix fix whatever it is. What's happening,
10:19
Speaker 1: whatever issue is, we can overcome it. You're doing well.
10:23
Speaker 1: You're gonna make this football team. I don't think anyone
10:25
Speaker 1: thought he's gonna have a twelve thirteen year career, but
10:30
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely did. But I remember that day
10:33
Speaker 1: just because I remember it pouring rain, which was weird,
10:36
Speaker 1: and then it's like I got something even even crazier,
10:38
Speaker 1: and I be I think Chris was involved too. I
10:40
Speaker 1: think Chris maybe Chris will One told me, I'm not
10:42
Speaker 1: even sure, but I feel like you did. Probably. Yeah,
10:46
Speaker 1: Chris is always coming up with stuff like he's he's
10:48
Speaker 1: got it. He's plugged in now, he's always telling me stuff.
10:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel I feel like you did. And
10:53
Speaker 1: then I went and asked a couple other people about it.
10:57
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do remember you telling me that. But
10:59
Speaker 1: that's just the story of it always pops up because
11:00
Speaker 1: it was just unique. But yeah, you know, it's one
11:05
Speaker 1: of those things where it's it's awesome. You the reason
11:07
Speaker 1: why you go out there is to get you know,
11:09
Speaker 1: the weather's is unbelievable. You don't call home and you say, man,
11:13
Speaker 1: it was a little cold this morning. You don't do
11:15
Speaker 1: that because it's like mid July here in Texas and
11:17
Speaker 1: everyone's sticking to their car, you know. But no, it's
11:21
Speaker 1: it's awesome. I could do a whole story on, you know,
11:24
Speaker 1: stories from from Oxnart. I remember Carter and his cereal
11:27
Speaker 1: Quincy Carter. Yeah, I mean if Chris Bean was going
11:30
Speaker 1: to do his own show, he would. Yeah. He hid
11:32
Speaker 1: in the bushes and got a video of Quincy Carter
11:35
Speaker 1: eating cereal as he got cut. That happened. We should
11:39
Speaker 1: have the video somewhere. Yeah. But yeah, I'll say this.
11:46
Speaker 1: The first two years we went to ox Start, it
11:48
Speaker 1: was in nineteen uh no, two thousand and one and
11:53
Speaker 1: then two thousand and four. Those were the first two
11:57
Speaker 1: years we went to Oxnart and both years the starting
12:00
Speaker 1: quarterback got cut in the middle of camp and like
12:04
Speaker 1: was kicked out of camp both times. Your starter now
12:07
Speaker 1: and they got shot them. Tony Banks was the first one,
12:11
Speaker 1: and the second one was Quincy Carter. So Tony Banks
12:15
Speaker 1: was cool about it. I followed him all the way
12:17
Speaker 1: to the front with his rolling his back to the front.
12:20
Speaker 1: I was back there too. I don't remember him being
12:22
Speaker 1: that cool with it, but maybe I mean cool with
12:24
Speaker 1: you fit filming it. Okay, all right, let's get it
12:27
Speaker 1: rolling here. Let's go to Bruce and Houston. Bruce, what's up, hey?
12:33
Speaker 5: Nick? God, when you say those two quarterbacks names, if
12:36
Speaker 5: that was our starting quarterback, that tells us a lot aboutter.
12:41
Speaker 5: We don't even need to know the record of those years.
12:43
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was bad, but well, five and eleven,
12:45
Speaker 1: five and eleven on a couple of them. Yeah, was
12:48
Speaker 1: that the campo? Yeah, for for Tony Banks, and then
12:53
Speaker 1: Barcels was the coach for for for Quincy.
12:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
12:59
Speaker 6: I didn't you get a chance to visit with you
13:01
Speaker 6: about the draft.
13:02
Speaker 5: I think they did well I was going to ask
13:05
Speaker 5: you if if Brooks would.
13:07
Speaker 7: Have been there at fifty six.
13:08
Speaker 5: I know he went what forty six to Carolina or
13:11
Speaker 5: something like that. Yeah, had he been there, because I
13:14
Speaker 5: didn't know nothing about Nieland. You know, yeah, you think
13:18
Speaker 5: they would have picked Brooks there at fifty six. I
13:20
Speaker 5: know Jerry talked about him.
13:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, I would think so. I mean that's the
13:25
Speaker 1: one thing that's kind of getting lost in this is that,
13:28
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys they had needs for running backs.
13:31
Speaker 1: I mean on their thirty thirty visit, they brought in
13:33
Speaker 1: I think five or six maybe more than that. So
13:35
Speaker 1: they definitely were looking at backs. It just didn't work
13:37
Speaker 1: out for you. Yeah, so yeah, and.
13:40
Speaker 5: I agree, I mean, don't reach. I mean, I guess
13:43
Speaker 5: they could have done it at eighty seven. Jalen Wright
13:47
Speaker 5: was still there and some other guys, but they had him.
13:50
Speaker 5: They stayed true to their board. Like they said that.
13:51
Speaker 5: It's not fine with that because like Mick was saying
13:55
Speaker 5: in another segment that you know they sometimes two years out,
14:01
Speaker 5: like with like with Lawrence possibly being his last year. Well,
14:06
Speaker 5: this is that's where Nieland comes in. You know, Hey,
14:08
Speaker 5: you get behind him and you you follow him everywhere
14:11
Speaker 5: except to the crapper, you know, and do everything he
14:13
Speaker 5: does so you're ready after year one because it is
14:17
Speaker 5: a huge learning curpan the young guys.
14:20
Speaker 6: But I think they did good.
14:21
Speaker 5: I love the BBI pick. And even if he doesn't
14:24
Speaker 5: start as center, if Hoffman beats him, well then that's
14:28
Speaker 5: that just shows you how good Hoffman is. There's your
14:30
Speaker 5: right guard right there when Martin retired or does whatever.
14:36
Speaker 5: I like what they've done there. Now, you couldn't fix everything.
14:39
Speaker 5: Everybody says, well, you didn't fix the defensive line. Well,
14:42
Speaker 5: my more, you can't fix it all in one draft.
14:45
Speaker 8: Take several graphs, but getting he's better at probably runs tackling,
14:51
Speaker 8: So they're your help there. And then if I just
14:54
Speaker 8: hope they don't resign Dak before I would, I would
14:57
Speaker 8: let him play out, I really would.
14:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if he takes us to the championship game,
15:02
Speaker 5: well then it's gonna cost his sixty five million to
15:04
Speaker 5: resigning if you want to do that. But yeah, to me,
15:07
Speaker 5: he's got to show me he could do that. And
15:08
Speaker 5: I just I hadn't seen it, so I don't know
15:11
Speaker 5: how you feel about.
15:12
Speaker 1: That, But yeah, I I uh that that's always a
15:17
Speaker 1: tough one. I try to avoid that question honestly, that no, no,
15:21
Speaker 1: I do, because it's it's just so tricky and it's
15:24
Speaker 1: and it's no offense to anybody. It's just it's so hard.
15:28
Speaker 1: It's harder to have that mindset than you think because
15:32
Speaker 1: you're trying to put a team together and you're trying
15:34
Speaker 1: to go win, right now, all in, do we believe?
15:38
Speaker 1: I believe in you? You believe in me? All this cool?
15:40
Speaker 1: All right? You're what about next to his contract? Well,
15:43
Speaker 1: hold up about that? And that's that's the same with McCarthy,
15:46
Speaker 1: it's the same with zimmer It's the same. You know,
15:48
Speaker 1: it's the same with a lot of these guys. And
15:49
Speaker 1: that's what makes it kind of weird. It's like, hey,
15:52
Speaker 1: we're in let's go, you know, bandon, brothers, let's go
15:54
Speaker 1: win this thing. And it's like, yeah, but you're not
15:56
Speaker 1: committing to me long term and you're like, what I
16:00
Speaker 1: didn't hear you. Let's let you know. So that's just
16:03
Speaker 1: the way it goes.
16:04
Speaker 5: But and you know, a s full of fans, you know,
16:07
Speaker 5: I mean, look, if we had our way, it will
16:10
Speaker 5: never happen.
16:10
Speaker 8: This way, But wouldn't it be cool?
16:12
Speaker 5: If everybody was on a one year term, he'll pay.
16:16
Speaker 7: Them all five million dollars.
16:17
Speaker 5: That's a good chunk of money, don't get me wrong,
16:19
Speaker 5: and then pay them incentives. If you're a left tackle,
16:23
Speaker 5: if you're if you don't allow any sacks, well you
16:25
Speaker 5: get bonuses. Quarterbacks over three hundred yard games down. You know,
16:29
Speaker 5: you could use the stats, however, to give them bonuses.
16:32
Speaker 5: We as fans would see some awesome he doing in
16:35
Speaker 5: all sports. We see some sports, you know, because you
16:38
Speaker 5: know how many times have you seen a player on
16:40
Speaker 5: a contract year just play like out and you're like
16:43
Speaker 5: dudeen and then the next year nada or at least
16:47
Speaker 5: he don't play it. You know, he plays eighty percent.
16:50
Speaker 5: That's what frustrates us as fans, you know, But we'll
16:53
Speaker 5: never see that.
16:54
Speaker 1: But I'll say this though, and you're not wrong. I
16:58
Speaker 1: don't know if it's if the guy plays as different
17:01
Speaker 1: as you think he does. I think a lot of
17:03
Speaker 1: fans have different mentalities on the player. I mean, once
17:07
Speaker 1: that guy gets that contract, now they go into a
17:10
Speaker 1: complete different level. Now the expectations are absolutely through the roof.
17:14
Speaker 1: I don't know if the player changes as much. I
17:17
Speaker 1: go back all the way back to the days when
17:20
Speaker 1: Marion Barber got a deal and Terrence Newman got a
17:23
Speaker 1: deal and Greg Ellis got a deal, and you know,
17:26
Speaker 1: they don't play that different. It's just that you just think,
17:30
Speaker 1: you know, they were so underpaid before and so now
17:33
Speaker 1: they get that money. But because think of it, like
17:35
Speaker 1: this Dak does whatever he does, it's like, oh, this
17:38
Speaker 1: guy makes forty million a year and that's how he plays.
17:40
Speaker 1: Nobody says that when he's going to the Pro Bowl
17:42
Speaker 1: making two No one says that. They're like, hy one
17:45
Speaker 1: makes two million a year and he made the Pro Bowl. Congrats.
17:49
Speaker 1: Now no one does that. So I just think it's
17:51
Speaker 1: the expectations more than anything. And you're right, there's times
17:54
Speaker 1: where a player doesn't play as well. But I don't
17:58
Speaker 1: know if it's because he just he's got it paid.
18:00
Speaker 1: Is he's coasting as the expectations go to a different stratosphere.
18:07
Speaker 8: No, you're actually and.
18:08
Speaker 5: Look, we're the ones that were spoiled. You know, we
18:10
Speaker 5: think we were just so jealous, which we were six
18:13
Speaker 5: foot four and could throw at eighty yards too, but
18:17
Speaker 5: not you know, and you have.
18:18
Speaker 8: To deal with that.
18:19
Speaker 5: But what I loved that they finally did was I
18:22
Speaker 5: think it was Bradford was the quarterback from Oklahoma. Was
18:25
Speaker 5: the last one that held out as the rookie quarterback,
18:28
Speaker 5: got like fifty billion dollars signing Motus hadn't thrown a
18:31
Speaker 5: first down yet. So when they finally did that rookie pool,
18:34
Speaker 5: that was the smartest thing they ever did and diverted
18:37
Speaker 5: quite a bit of that money to the veterans who
18:39
Speaker 5: certainly deserved it because they put the time in. So
18:42
Speaker 5: that was awesome. As they're doing and you know, is
18:45
Speaker 5: it correct after you had to be a minimum is
18:48
Speaker 5: it four years or six years you're in the league,
18:50
Speaker 5: then you're in some pension deal. I don't know about that,
18:54
Speaker 5: but I've heard something about that. Anyway, good show pick,
18:57
Speaker 5: that's good.
18:58
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. Bruce, all right, and Uh, I'll
19:01
Speaker 1: say this using him as an example. The Bruce was
19:04
Speaker 1: able to call in. I guess doctor Chris he got
19:07
Speaker 1: some shirt size for uh. For the all storyline team.
19:10
Speaker 1: I know I've been talking about it in a while.
19:12
Speaker 1: I know you guys didn't make it. Probably are like
19:14
Speaker 1: enough about it, but we are trying to get this
19:16
Speaker 1: our last time. This is the last time. This is
19:18
Speaker 1: the last day. If you don't, if you haven't sent
19:19
Speaker 1: in your shirt size, your name, address, you know we're
19:23
Speaker 1: sending them out. We're gonna have a lot left over.
19:25
Speaker 1: So we we've got probably only half of them. Half
19:28
Speaker 1: you guys have done that. So but uh, here's a
19:32
Speaker 1: guy that that that has uh he's he's the only
19:35
Speaker 1: one that had I don't think he's called, but he
19:38
Speaker 1: texts a lot. So he made the team, Dan and Philly.
19:42
Speaker 1: He says, the Cowboys generally have done a good job
19:44
Speaker 1: finding quality undrafted free agents in the past. Of the
19:47
Speaker 1: one sign this year, who do you think has the
19:49
Speaker 1: best opportunity to make the team and contribute and his
19:53
Speaker 1: past Cowboys Tony Romo, who ironically was one of those guys,
19:57
Speaker 1: which I'm sure is not a coincidence. I'm sure that's
20:00
Speaker 1: what he meant. I don't honestly, I haven't really gone
20:06
Speaker 1: gone there yet to look at and I should. They'll
20:09
Speaker 1: be here in the next few few days. Uh, I
20:13
Speaker 1: think there's a Honestly, I'll I haven't even looked at
20:17
Speaker 1: the names yet. I just hear about a tight end
20:19
Speaker 1: from Minnesota who's supposedly really good. I'd have to go
20:23
Speaker 1: check on the on the name like that. I let
20:26
Speaker 1: I let Nick Harris, Patrick Walker, they handle all that.
20:29
Speaker 1: They got the tracker of the guys coming in and
20:32
Speaker 1: they have signed and all that stuff. I haven't even
20:35
Speaker 1: looked at that, and I should because you're you're exactly right.
20:38
Speaker 1: I mean, like, there are some really good players over
20:40
Speaker 1: the years. Cowoys have done a really good job. Last year.
20:44
Speaker 1: I think their two best rookies on the team last
20:47
Speaker 1: year were both undrafted down that that's that really says
20:51
Speaker 1: more about the the actual picks that they didn't have
20:53
Speaker 1: good years. But your your best rookies were probably Hunter
20:57
Speaker 1: Lipke and TJ. Bass. Jalen Brooks was okay, I didn't
21:01
Speaker 1: play a ton but I mean Scootmaker played he I mean,
21:04
Speaker 1: but for the level of where he was. But so, yeah,
21:07
Speaker 1: they'll get some undrafted guys. Uh, they'll be here Thursday.
21:10
Speaker 1: We'll have we'll have a show on Thursday, and so
21:13
Speaker 1: we'll have a better we'll have better idea there past
21:16
Speaker 1: cowboy Tony Romo. Yeah, trying to work on a project
21:22
Speaker 1: with Tony right now. So it would would like for
21:24
Speaker 1: him to be a current U Cowboy, not to play
21:27
Speaker 1: on the team, but I would like to talk to
21:29
Speaker 1: him more. Got a lot of stories on Romo. I
21:31
Speaker 1: mean just off the field things, you know. I mean
21:36
Speaker 1: I was a caddy for him for three holes one
21:38
Speaker 1: time during a golf tournament, had to caddy for him.
21:41
Speaker 1: Played flag football in the same flag football team Chris
21:44
Speaker 1: Beam did as well. You know, he was a he
21:47
Speaker 1: was a great quarterback. He's actually a better defensive player.
21:51
Speaker 1: There's there's all kinds of stories with with Tony. That's
21:54
Speaker 1: again that's another show as well. Let's get to a
21:56
Speaker 1: caller here, Chuck d and Bridge City, Texas.
22:00
Speaker 4: What's going on?
22:01
Speaker 7: Nick?
22:01
Speaker 1: Hey? Chuck?
22:03
Speaker 9: Hey, I just want to say I've been calling. This
22:06
Speaker 9: is probably my fourth time, and he made the off storyline.
22:10
Speaker 9: People that don't call, I have to understand it's hard
22:12
Speaker 9: to get on. You got to be persistent and uh yeah.
22:16
Speaker 9: So if they get it, they deserve it.
22:19
Speaker 1: They deserve it. Yeah, No, I I want them. I
22:22
Speaker 1: wanted to get it. I want them to collect now.
22:26
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I know it takes a lot, a
22:28
Speaker 1: lot to get in and it surprises me how there
22:31
Speaker 1: are certain people that call every almost every show and
22:35
Speaker 1: you're like, how does this happen? You know, but there's
22:39
Speaker 1: no special number. There's no secret number. Maybe Chris is
22:42
Speaker 1: calling them. I don't know.
22:43
Speaker 9: You just got to call, hang up, call, hang up.
22:45
Speaker 9: You got to keep doing it and finally it'll ring
22:47
Speaker 9: and you're like.
22:47
Speaker 1: All right, I'm on, Yeah, I don't have time to
22:51
Speaker 1: call people. I'm sorry, No, all right, So what's what's up, Chuck?
22:56
Speaker 9: So what I was gonna say, I'm gonna go a
23:00
Speaker 9: different direction. But people keep talking about Romo and Dak.
23:04
Speaker 9: I believe it was when Romo did his football life.
23:07
Speaker 9: Darren Woodson was talking about when he was doing scout team.
23:10
Speaker 9: They knew that he was the best quarterback.
23:12
Speaker 7: On the team.
23:13
Speaker 2: They could just see it.
23:15
Speaker 9: But you being in the building, have you heard any
23:17
Speaker 9: rumblings of them saying Trey Lance has shown anything last year?
23:21
Speaker 9: I mean it's so quiet. You don't hear that he's
23:24
Speaker 9: got a big arm as he passed. I mean we
23:25
Speaker 9: don't know anything about him.
23:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, no I don't. I haven't heard that story. And
23:29
Speaker 1: and and truth be told, Listen, I love Darreon Woodson
23:34
Speaker 1: more than any other media guy. Loves you know what,
23:37
Speaker 1: He's the best. But I will say that, like that
23:41
Speaker 1: story is easier to tell now you know, And I'm
23:45
Speaker 1: not saying he didn't feel that way because was he
23:48
Speaker 1: better than Quincy? Was he better than Clint Sterner? Was
23:50
Speaker 1: he better than Anthony? Right? I mean, I don't even
23:53
Speaker 1: remember who all was here at the on that in
23:56
Speaker 1: that season in three, but Hutchinson. So it's like easily
24:00
Speaker 1: better than those guys, okay, And I could see that.
24:02
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes these stories as the years go on,
24:05
Speaker 1: they're like you could see it right away, you know.
24:07
Speaker 1: I mean, Romo had some ability, but he also was
24:11
Speaker 1: careless with the ball, and he was a gun slinger,
24:13
Speaker 1: you know who didn't. He was doing these things work
24:16
Speaker 1: when he was at Eastern Illinois. They didn't work in
24:18
Speaker 1: the NFL. But I do remember dat Win and Dexter
24:21
Speaker 1: Cochley kind of saying that this guy would play with
24:24
Speaker 1: his eyes, he'd look off, he'd look here and then
24:26
Speaker 1: throw it over here, and that they had they weren't
24:28
Speaker 1: used to that. So he was doing some things early on.
24:31
Speaker 1: I haven't heard things like that about Trey Lance. But
24:33
Speaker 1: but then again, you know, those stories didn't come out
24:37
Speaker 1: right then. They came out when Romo was was a baller,
24:41
Speaker 1: and then now it's those are good stories. You didn't
24:43
Speaker 1: really hear them so much. At the time, you didn't
24:46
Speaker 1: hear those stories, So that's kind of why we're not
24:48
Speaker 1: hearing it now.
24:50
Speaker 9: Okay, well, I figured if he was lighting it up
24:53
Speaker 9: and you'd already heard something. But it's quiet. It's like
24:56
Speaker 9: he's not even on the team.
24:57
Speaker 1: Really well, he's on the team. He's on the and
25:00
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's doing stuff we'll see. I think
25:03
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be a great preseason for him.
25:05
Speaker 1: Has great opportunity to kind of see some stuff in
25:07
Speaker 1: preseason and and you know, we'll see a little bit
25:10
Speaker 1: more in training camp. Remember he wasn't that training camp.
25:14
Speaker 1: Let's don't forget that part. We see fifteen minutes of
25:18
Speaker 1: practice and half of that they're stretching. So that's what
25:21
Speaker 1: we see during the season. We've never seen Trey Lance
25:24
Speaker 1: during a training camp. He wasn't here. He has only
25:26
Speaker 1: been here during the season, so the media hasn't really
25:30
Speaker 1: gotten a chance to really see him do much of anything.
25:33
Speaker 1: Let's let's let let some ota practices happened many camps,
25:37
Speaker 1: training camp, and of course the preseason game will all
25:40
Speaker 1: have a better understanding of what he's doing.
25:43
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, can I say one more thing. Yeah,
25:46
Speaker 9: seen a little short video of Besting working out and
25:49
Speaker 9: he looks quick. I'm just wondering, what is he going
25:51
Speaker 9: to have to do this year to get more playing time?
25:53
Speaker 9: Because his size is the size, But what does he
25:56
Speaker 9: have to show to get on the field more.
25:58
Speaker 1: Got break tackles, I mean, he's got tackles, is what
26:00
Speaker 1: he's got to do. He's got to be able to,
26:01
Speaker 1: I mean, be quick, do all those things. But he's
26:04
Speaker 1: got to work on that, on that strength to break
26:06
Speaker 1: some tackles. Everyone's going to be bigger, everyone's gonna have
26:09
Speaker 1: the leverage, you know, but he's got to, you know,
26:12
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to shed that. And he
26:14
Speaker 1: was doing that some in the preseason. That's what kind
26:17
Speaker 1: of sparked everything early. But you know a lot of
26:20
Speaker 1: those guys he played against probably did not make NFL rosters,
26:24
Speaker 1: let's be honest about that. So once once they got bigger, stronger, faster,
26:29
Speaker 1: the holes they closed a lot quicker and they tackled
26:31
Speaker 1: a lot better. So that's what he's got to prove,
26:34
Speaker 1: you know. And but I'm sure he didn't set the
26:36
Speaker 1: world on fire his freshman year at Kansas State. You know,
26:39
Speaker 1: he got to get better and get better, and then
26:41
Speaker 1: by his junior senior year he was he was unbelievable.
26:44
Speaker 1: So that's what he's got to continue to do. Okay,
26:48
Speaker 1: all right, appreciate it, Chuck. All right, we got another
26:50
Speaker 1: text question. This is actually no question. This is just
26:53
Speaker 1: Steve Williams from Charlotte, North Carolina. I toured the Star
26:57
Speaker 1: last year five days before the regular season. I saw
27:00
Speaker 1: you walking down the stairs. You nodded. Surreal moment, and
27:04
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you. Cool. I mean sorry,
27:09
Speaker 1: I didn't give a wave or high five or anything
27:11
Speaker 1: like that, so apologize for that. But uh yeah, say hi,
27:16
Speaker 1: that's cool. You know what though, that's not really I
27:19
Speaker 1: think I think they tell the people that in the tours,
27:23
Speaker 1: they like, don't don't be talking to people unless they
27:26
Speaker 1: talk to you, so don't bother anyone. But but anyways, no,
27:29
Speaker 1: all good. Maybe you come back again and we'll chat
27:33
Speaker 1: it up. All right. Speaking of chatting it up, this
27:36
Speaker 1: guy Randy from Texa Cano.
27:39
Speaker 7: Man, if I pass Carls cross paths with you, I'm
27:44
Speaker 7: hugging your neck right from everybody out you don't care. Cool,
27:47
Speaker 7: but if I can get that out right, yeah, then
27:50
Speaker 7: you're eating a burrito and lunch break herd story time
27:53
Speaker 7: on storyline, I was like, man, I want to get in.
27:55
Speaker 3: On this stuff.
27:56
Speaker 7: It's I kind of like it when you'll tell stories.
27:58
Speaker 7: It don't it doesn't always have to be about players
28:01
Speaker 7: and all that good stuff.
28:02
Speaker 1: So not in you know, middle in early May, like, yeah,
28:05
Speaker 1: I mean what, yeah, I mean yeah, I'm about to
28:07
Speaker 1: ask you about the burrito.
28:09
Speaker 7: You know, I mean like it's just a regular Walmart
28:13
Speaker 7: frozen brito, Michael Wave, nothing special. It's technically Jimmy Kanya.
28:19
Speaker 7: But you know I call them all Britos. They look
28:21
Speaker 7: like Britos.
28:22
Speaker 1: Cool, all right, what do you got?
28:24
Speaker 3: All right?
28:24
Speaker 7: So yeah, I want to get done on story time.
28:27
Speaker 7: It's uh, I was kind of enjoying your little stories there.
28:30
Speaker 7: So if y'all want to throw one out there soon
28:31
Speaker 7: as I get done, my mind, it'd be cool. I
28:33
Speaker 7: don't have nothing about the players and stuff, so just uh,
28:37
Speaker 7: your around celebrities all the time, so it's gonna be
28:40
Speaker 7: really hard for you to come up with one unless
28:43
Speaker 7: you've got one. But uh, I've got two quick stories
28:46
Speaker 7: if you don't mind me telling them about about celebrities,
28:50
Speaker 7: and I'll go in uh age here my first one
28:55
Speaker 7: Arlington Stadium, right next to the Sheraton, the original Rangers stadium.
29:01
Speaker 7: Me and my buddy. It was right before my nine agreed,
29:04
Speaker 7: I believe, going into high school. My grandmother took me
29:07
Speaker 7: and my best friend up to see Arrangers game. Well,
29:10
Speaker 7: we got there the day before the game was scheduled,
29:13
Speaker 7: and back then, I don't know how they do it now,
29:14
Speaker 7: but back then, they would do the bat and practice
29:17
Speaker 7: and all that the day before, and they actually had
29:19
Speaker 7: to build open where you could go in there and
29:22
Speaker 7: watch them. And there was this one tat I don't
29:25
Speaker 7: know if you'll even remember who I'm gonna refer to.
29:28
Speaker 7: He played for the Royals, by the name of Bo Jackson.
29:33
Speaker 10: Yeah.
29:34
Speaker 7: Well he's actually not the nasest guy in person. I
29:37
Speaker 7: don't know what his problem was, but man, he was
29:40
Speaker 7: being extremely mean to us kid, you know, and he
29:42
Speaker 7: wouldn't talk to us, he wouldn't acknowledge U any of
29:45
Speaker 7: that stuff. And there was other players around and all that,
29:48
Speaker 7: and they kind of saw it going on. So I
29:50
Speaker 7: was like, well that changed my epe up for him,
29:52
Speaker 7: you know. And so later on that day we go
29:55
Speaker 7: back and we're staying at the Sherifton, which is right
29:57
Speaker 7: across the street, and I believe that thing is still
29:58
Speaker 7: standing there. Me and my buddy would go out there
30:02
Speaker 7: to the pool and we noticed there's a handful of
30:04
Speaker 7: grown ups, grown up guys and over laying out in
30:07
Speaker 7: the sun and we kind of over our bomb and
30:09
Speaker 7: one of them whistles at us, tells us to come
30:12
Speaker 7: over there, and I'm not knowing anything. We walk over
30:14
Speaker 7: there and there's a fellow sitting there by the name
30:16
Speaker 7: of Brett Saberhagen. He was a picture and turns out
30:21
Speaker 7: it was the entire pitching crew of the Royals sitting
30:24
Speaker 7: out there by the pool. And they told us that
30:27
Speaker 7: they saw what happened and they wanted to make it
30:30
Speaker 7: up to us, and we got to hang out with
30:33
Speaker 7: them for.
30:33
Speaker 3: The rest of the day.
30:34
Speaker 7: They gave us their door pass to go to the
30:36
Speaker 7: bar for them. Ere I was, I don't know, fourteen
30:40
Speaker 7: fifteen years old, and we're going after drinks for them
30:42
Speaker 7: and stuff and we're hanging out. Man, we got all
30:45
Speaker 7: kinds of pictures. We're hanging out with the baseball players
30:48
Speaker 7: and all that stuff. And they gave us hats and
30:51
Speaker 7: a jersey. It was a really cool thing man for
30:55
Speaker 7: a kid, you know, and that's just something I'll never forget.
30:58
Speaker 1: Cool.
31:00
Speaker 7: And that's that story. And then and one more story.
31:03
Speaker 7: Real Quick doesn't have anything to do it sport, but
31:05
Speaker 7: it does with rock and roll hairbands. I was probably
31:09
Speaker 7: eighteen nineteen and we went to go see Warrant, Firehouse
31:13
Speaker 7: and Trickster in Shreveport, Louisiana. And back then there was
31:18
Speaker 7: on the Boucher side there was a hotel slash bar
31:22
Speaker 7: called Verdigoes, and that's where everybody went back then. And
31:25
Speaker 7: you could actually drink at the age of eighteen back then,
31:28
Speaker 7: so that's where we all went. Anyway, after the concert,
31:32
Speaker 7: we go to the bar because we had a room
31:34
Speaker 7: there as well, and we're standing in the bar and
31:37
Speaker 7: we're hanging out when this guy comes over the PA
31:39
Speaker 7: and says that we're going to have some a list
31:42
Speaker 7: people in the place. Please give them their space, don't
31:45
Speaker 7: mass well and miss that the other and so next
31:48
Speaker 7: thing we know, it's them, it's Warrant, it's Firehouse and Tree,
31:52
Speaker 7: it's all of them. They've come to the bar to
31:54
Speaker 7: party that night. And so we're standing over there against
31:57
Speaker 7: the wall just washing them in all you know, here
31:59
Speaker 7: we are. We were concert watching him just you know,
32:01
Speaker 7: a couple of hours ago. They're right there. Well, the
32:05
Speaker 7: bass player for Warrant. He's got big hair, big eyebrows,
32:09
Speaker 7: you know, just real noticeable guy. He turns and looks
32:13
Speaker 7: directly at me and just starts walking straight at me.
32:17
Speaker 7: And I'm looking over at my wife and I'm looking
32:19
Speaker 7: at her cousin. I'm like, is this joker really walking
32:21
Speaker 7: over here? And he just kept on coming and he
32:24
Speaker 7: walked right up to me and asked me where my
32:26
Speaker 7: pizza is. And I'm like, you're pizza and he was like, yeah,
32:30
Speaker 7: you know, the Domino's pizza guy.
32:31
Speaker 2: Dude.
32:32
Speaker 7: I had on a off colored blue, off colored red
32:35
Speaker 7: striped shirt and it just happened to be the same
32:38
Speaker 7: color as a Domino's pizza shirt back then, and so
32:42
Speaker 7: he thought I was a pizza guy. I had to
32:44
Speaker 7: break the news to him, but he wasn't upset. He
32:47
Speaker 7: got a big laugh out of it. And the next
32:49
Speaker 7: thing you know, they've got us over there at the
32:50
Speaker 7: pool table with all of them, and here I am
32:53
Speaker 7: a eighteen nineteen year old and I'm hanging out with
32:55
Speaker 7: rock stars, and I've got all the pictures to prove
32:58
Speaker 7: it too. We hung out with him all long. And
33:01
Speaker 7: that's just two occasions where I got to, you know,
33:03
Speaker 7: hang out with some superstars. And it's something I'll go
33:07
Speaker 7: to the grave with. I'll never forget it unless I get,
33:09
Speaker 7: you know, some kind of a brain disease.
33:14
Speaker 6: All right, all right, but I thought that was pretty cool.
33:17
Speaker 7: So there's my story time on storyline. And do y'all
33:20
Speaker 7: have one your that one you'd like to share?
33:23
Speaker 1: All right, all right, appreciate it, Randy. Yeah, I was.
33:28
Speaker 1: I was born in Freeport, so that's I spent my
33:31
Speaker 1: first year of my life there. Don't remember it, but
33:34
Speaker 1: I do. I did. That's a fun fact about me.
33:38
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if I mean, I'm sure
33:41
Speaker 1: I have a story like that, but I can't really
33:44
Speaker 1: think of it off the top. But yeah, I mean
33:47
Speaker 1: the Can't that's funny you said that by the Can't
33:49
Speaker 1: See Royals. That's that's the team I actually followed when
33:53
Speaker 1: I was younger, because when I lived where I lived
33:55
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, that's the only teams we would watch with
33:57
Speaker 1: them and the Cardinals and so you know, I all
34:00
Speaker 1: the first stadium I ever went to was a Kansas
34:03
Speaker 1: City Royals. You know, the stadium might be Kaufman now,
34:06
Speaker 1: but then that was a beautiful park, fountains in the outfield.
34:09
Speaker 1: I thought that was the coolest place. And I remember
34:13
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson being a rookie and being a good young player.
34:16
Speaker 1: Didn't hear I didn't know anything about that story. I
34:18
Speaker 1: was kind of hoping that Bo Jackson was gonna come
34:20
Speaker 1: over and kind of, you know, make amends to everything,
34:23
Speaker 1: but that didn't happen in the story. All right, Well
34:27
Speaker 1: that's what you get in on as in May seventh storyline.
34:32
Speaker 1: You're gonna get stories like that. So all right, let's
34:34
Speaker 1: see if Travis in San Antonio's got some cowboys stuff
34:38
Speaker 1: going on, or do you have a story the top that.
34:43
Speaker 11: I don't have a story to top that. I'll stay
34:45
Speaker 11: in my lane, let and let the randy do those stories.
34:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well what do you got? You got? You
34:51
Speaker 1: got just regular old cowboy football question.
34:55
Speaker 11: Yeah, just just the nonsense.
34:58
Speaker 1: That's a good TI.
35:00
Speaker 11: I just wanted to say, I know you're talking about
35:02
Speaker 11: Brevin s. Van Ford earlier. There's people that brought some
35:05
Speaker 11: film on him already and got to watch him a
35:08
Speaker 11: little bit. He reminds me of Mercedes Lewis. You know,
35:13
Speaker 11: when McCarthy was with the Packers, he's more of a blocker.
35:17
Speaker 11: I mean people are talking about I've even heard brought
35:19
Speaker 11: Us talk about he's one of those guys that he's
35:22
Speaker 11: like two sixty two seventy that you could maybe start
35:25
Speaker 11: him as a tight end and they could possibly see
35:27
Speaker 11: if he can develop even into a tackle maybe. But
35:30
Speaker 11: I like him as a tight end just as that.
35:31
Speaker 11: He's more of that traditional I think what kept him
35:33
Speaker 11: out of being drafted. He ran a slow forwarding. He's
35:36
Speaker 11: an older guy, like a little older of a guy,
35:39
Speaker 11: but doesn't mean tight end. It's not as big of
35:41
Speaker 11: a deal, right, because he's a big guy. We know
35:43
Speaker 11: a tight end that we had here that wasn't the
35:45
Speaker 11: fastest that got opened. So I'm not super worried about that.
35:49
Speaker 11: But I'm curious to see how he does. I think
35:51
Speaker 11: he's you know, we talk about it's almost like having
35:56
Speaker 11: him and he's a really good run blocker, but having
35:58
Speaker 11: him in on some of those you know, packages or
36:00
Speaker 11: whatever to get some space for guys. He's basically like
36:03
Speaker 11: an extra offensive lineman.
36:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I do like that.
36:07
Speaker 11: And then I think one of the collegs talking about
36:09
Speaker 11: Trey the reason. I know last week you mentioned it
36:12
Speaker 11: might be tough to still kind of figure out if
36:16
Speaker 11: he's you know, how he's playing whatever in the preseason.
36:19
Speaker 11: But I actually, I actually think Nick, this the reason
36:23
Speaker 11: they the benefit, the secret benefit to what they did
36:25
Speaker 11: with the offensive line this year. I actually think this
36:28
Speaker 11: might be also one of the better like second units
36:32
Speaker 11: they've had in a long time as far as like,
36:33
Speaker 11: you know, backups that are playing in the preseason. Because
36:36
Speaker 11: you're gonna have b b at guard, you're gonna have
36:38
Speaker 11: Hoffmintte center, you're gonna have Bassett guard, and then you're
36:41
Speaker 11: gonna have probably awesome playing left, and then you know,
36:44
Speaker 11: maybe Nathan Thomas lay their rookie playing right. So I
36:46
Speaker 11: actually think the offensive line is going to give him
36:48
Speaker 11: a chance to be able to show us. It's not
36:51
Speaker 11: like other years where we're like, I mean, you snapped
36:54
Speaker 11: the ball and you're like, oh crap, watch out.
36:55
Speaker 1: Right, it's just running for your life.
36:57
Speaker 6: You know.
36:57
Speaker 1: That's a good point, and you know, yeah, the have something.
37:00
Speaker 1: We'll have some of those guys that they want to
37:02
Speaker 1: see too, you know, and and I'll throw a name
37:04
Speaker 1: and you know, Earl Bostic a tackle that's been there
37:08
Speaker 1: all all year. I mean, guys like that that they're
37:11
Speaker 1: gonna want to evaluate as well. So that's a good point.
37:15
Speaker 1: You got some runners back there, you know, you'll have
37:17
Speaker 1: some running backs that you know, Malik Davis, Duce, maybe
37:21
Speaker 1: Snoop Connor, you know, guys like that.
37:23
Speaker 11: So and that was my last point was I want
37:26
Speaker 11: to see what you think. But I know that's been
37:28
Speaker 11: talked about. I'm not buying into the nausea Harris rumors
37:30
Speaker 11: and all that type of stuff. I don't. I mean,
37:32
Speaker 11: they may throw out maybe later on, they'll throw out
37:34
Speaker 11: a pick, you know, for somebody. But I do think
37:37
Speaker 11: the running back rotation, at least I think I want
37:40
Speaker 11: to see if you think about this. I think to
37:41
Speaker 11: start the year, I kind of see like two power
37:45
Speaker 11: backs for one spot and then Douce has the change
37:47
Speaker 11: up kind of like how Powered was. So like whether
37:49
Speaker 11: it's Dowdell and Zeke kind of starting the game kind
37:52
Speaker 11: of hammer teams, and then you can sort of bring
37:55
Speaker 11: in Deuce to kind of be the kind of get
37:57
Speaker 11: loose and get him in space kind of guy. He
37:59
Speaker 11: could be the change up or if it's you know,
38:01
Speaker 11: for some reason not gonna would posting up, and that
38:04
Speaker 11: happens with doubt, But if it's Freeman and Zeke, I
38:07
Speaker 11: just kind of see, like two power backs for one
38:09
Speaker 11: spot and then maybe Douce is a change up and
38:11
Speaker 11: just want to see what you thought.
38:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that that is kind of what they
38:19
Speaker 1: did with with Pollard. But you know, everybody's got to
38:23
Speaker 1: be able to do everything too though, you know it's
38:25
Speaker 1: it's is not like baseball where I'm the starter, then
38:28
Speaker 1: I'm the setup guy and I'm the closer. I mean,
38:30
Speaker 1: you know, when you get out there, everybody's got to
38:33
Speaker 1: be able to be the short yardage guy at times.
38:35
Speaker 1: You got to be able to be a home run
38:37
Speaker 1: hitter if you can. You know, you got to be
38:38
Speaker 1: able to catch, you be able to block. So if not,
38:41
Speaker 1: then you know, if you're just out to do one thing,
38:44
Speaker 1: then I think, you know, defenses obviously pick up on that.
38:46
Speaker 1: So I understand the point. You know, get these guys,
38:50
Speaker 1: you know, and as the power backs and then kind
38:52
Speaker 1: of loosen things up and if if that works, that's fine.
38:54
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Deuces will still he's he's
38:57
Speaker 1: a long ways away from even being that guy. He's
39:00
Speaker 1: gonna have to show some some big improvements this year.
39:04
Speaker 1: I still think something different is gonna happen at running back.
39:07
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a different guy a trade
39:09
Speaker 1: or than signing someone. I just I don't think this
39:13
Speaker 1: is what it's going to be going into the season.
39:16
Speaker 1: I'll be surprised if it's just that we'll see some
39:20
Speaker 1: kind of change one way or another. So I'm that's
39:24
Speaker 1: why I'm a little hesitant. I can't expand on that.
39:26
Speaker 1: I'm just a little hesitant on saying this is how
39:28
Speaker 1: things are gonna go because I I don't I just
39:32
Speaker 1: don't think that they're done at that position. I don't. Sorry,
39:35
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob, how
39:41
Speaker 1: are you doing?
39:42
Speaker 12: I'm good? Uh, I'm looking at the you know, I
39:47
Speaker 12: think everybody's talking about Babie and I like him as
39:49
Speaker 12: a trade. But she never played center, right, So that's
39:52
Speaker 12: that's the only thing that worries me. I mean, you know,
39:55
Speaker 12: you're learning on the job. That's a tough that's a
39:58
Speaker 12: tough position to learn. Yeah, and uh so that's one
40:02
Speaker 12: thing that works with me. But I do like his attitude.
40:04
Speaker 1: I mean, can I tell you one thing about that?
40:06
Speaker 1: I mean, what is it. What do you think other
40:08
Speaker 1: than you know, obviously you got to be tough and athletic,
40:10
Speaker 1: but what else do you have to be to play center?
40:13
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, well this guy was a finalist for
40:18
Speaker 1: the Academic Heisman Award. Okay, the Academic Heisman. He was
40:22
Speaker 1: a finalist for it, So that's great. Yeah, that's all
40:27
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I went, I got told that the other day,
40:29
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, that's you know, because you do
40:31
Speaker 1: you got to have that to be to be a center.
40:33
Speaker 1: And he practiced a lot at center during the COVID years,
40:39
Speaker 1: you know, getting ready for games. He would practice at center.
40:41
Speaker 1: He would spend all summers in Kansas State at center.
40:44
Speaker 1: So hasn't played in the game, but it's not as
40:47
Speaker 1: foreign to him as you think. So that's almost that.
40:50
Speaker 12: It sounds like he definitely could do it.
40:52
Speaker 1: I think he could. I think he could. He may
40:53
Speaker 1: not be ready right now, but I mean, you know,
40:56
Speaker 1: and Hoffman's going to bring it now. I mean, Hoffman
40:58
Speaker 1: will have something for for that competition. I'm just curious
41:03
Speaker 1: how you have really healthy competition. It's on the offensive line,
41:08
Speaker 1: but you also want to build continuity at the same time.
41:10
Speaker 1: It's not just one. You can just rotate guys in
41:12
Speaker 1: and out. But that's what we're going to see. Trust me.
41:16
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for everyone. Everyone is going to
41:19
Speaker 1: be seeing and the OTAs all the media guys are
41:22
Speaker 1: gonna right left, right, It was this guy, this guy,
41:24
Speaker 1: this guy at center, this guy did this snaps and
41:26
Speaker 1: they're just trying out a bunch of things. They're trying
41:28
Speaker 1: to see who can do what. But you'll see these
41:31
Speaker 1: little first you know, these depth chart type type you know,
41:35
Speaker 1: text messages, and everyone's going to be calling and saying
41:38
Speaker 1: why they got him playing guards so much and when
41:40
Speaker 1: they're really just trying to, you know, figure it all out.
41:43
Speaker 12: Sorry, go ahead, Yeah, I mean I think on I
41:45
Speaker 12: think on paper that the team should do good. The
41:49
Speaker 12: only thing that you know, worries me is what's the
41:52
Speaker 12: locker room going to be like? You got a lot
41:54
Speaker 12: of guys on one year contracts, you got guys that
41:57
Speaker 12: may not get paid before the season starts. What's the attitude?
42:02
Speaker 12: And honestly it would be interesting. Hopefully this doesn't happen.
42:07
Speaker 12: Is what happens if this team gets off to a
42:10
Speaker 12: bad start, it's a much tougher schedule. I mean, last year,
42:14
Speaker 12: out of their twelve wins, they only had four against
42:17
Speaker 12: playoff teams. And you know we're already going in with
42:21
Speaker 12: uncertainty with coaches and players. You get off to a
42:24
Speaker 12: bad start. I mean, is there a fire sale because
42:27
Speaker 12: it I mean, I don't know it's gonna it's gonna
42:30
Speaker 12: be wild, but I listen, I'm excited. You know, we're
42:34
Speaker 12: talking about stories, and we don't really talk about this
42:37
Speaker 12: guy much, but Bill Parcells to me, had the greatest
42:41
Speaker 12: press conferences. I couldn't I could not wait when he
42:46
Speaker 12: would have them. They would usually come on about noon
42:49
Speaker 12: or so Vegas time, and he would sit at that
42:51
Speaker 12: table and tea, and the lines that he would come
43:00
Speaker 12: up with we're just so funny, especially maybe because I'm
43:05
Speaker 12: from New York he's from Jersey. Yes, because I would.
43:08
Speaker 12: I thought that thirty minutes, forty minutes was great.
43:12
Speaker 5: Every day.
43:13
Speaker 2: I couldn't wait.
43:14
Speaker 12: How did you feel with you that live?
43:15
Speaker 1: Loved it, loved it. He made everybody smarter at football
43:19
Speaker 1: because the thing about Parcels is he was a defensive coach, right,
43:25
Speaker 1: but he also was an offensive coach. He also helped
43:29
Speaker 1: coach the special teams. He loved punt returners. He would
43:32
Speaker 1: love to work with punt returners. He was just a
43:35
Speaker 1: football coach. He would go and work with the wide
43:38
Speaker 1: receivers on if you're running an out route here, your
43:41
Speaker 1: hands should be on this hand, should be on top,
43:43
Speaker 1: not this hand. I mean, like he knew all of
43:45
Speaker 1: these things and as a football coach, and so then
43:49
Speaker 1: then his his jersey wit and all that stuff, you know.
43:55
Speaker 1: I mean, he would just take it to the press conference.
43:57
Speaker 1: He was hilarious.
44:00
Speaker 12: My only regret is he didn't come back for one
44:03
Speaker 12: more year because I think that team really had a
44:08
Speaker 12: chance to do something and unfortunately he was just older.
44:12
Speaker 12: But yeah, I just I mean, the stuff he would
44:15
Speaker 12: say about Tony Romo about keeping him on the res
44:17
Speaker 12: of it just crazy. Oh, it's just great, the lines
44:21
Speaker 12: he had.
44:22
Speaker 1: Oh when when Romo, yeah, yeah, when Romo would like
44:27
Speaker 1: underhand shovel the ball at practice or something like that,
44:31
Speaker 1: and yeah, he told him. I mean, I'm sure this
44:33
Speaker 1: story has been told a lot, but when he was
44:35
Speaker 1: throwing the ball and warm ups and parcels walked up
44:38
Speaker 1: to him and he was just like, Romo, you're a
44:42
Speaker 1: ball in high grass And he was like, okay, okay, coach,
44:45
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, you know, you're a
44:47
Speaker 1: ball in high grass and he was like yeah, you know,
44:51
Speaker 1: he was waiting for him to be like, now, coach,
44:54
Speaker 1: what does that mean? He's like lost, lost, that's what
44:58
Speaker 1: you are. And I would walk off, you know.
45:00
Speaker 12: But the players loved him. I haven't heard anybody say
45:02
Speaker 12: bad things about him.
45:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the players that did say bad
45:08
Speaker 1: things about him loved him.
45:09
Speaker 10: You know.
45:09
Speaker 1: I mean Lawrence Taylor and him would get in a fight,
45:12
Speaker 1: like on the field, you know, like a fight, wrestling match.
45:16
Speaker 12: But look what he would say about Terry Glenn and
45:18
Speaker 12: Terry Gunn.
45:19
Speaker 1: Right.
45:20
Speaker 12: I could play for him, I mean.
45:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, traded for him. Yeah yeah, Bill traded for
45:24
Speaker 1: him again. And yeah, I mean that's just that's just
45:26
Speaker 1: the way it is. But you know, I mean, and
45:28
Speaker 1: and it was it was a different time too. I mean,
45:31
Speaker 1: like even even then, even then, I mean, he had
45:34
Speaker 1: two or three different instances in press conferences where he
45:37
Speaker 1: said things that he had to apologize for and you
45:40
Speaker 1: definitely can't say now, I mean at all. So I
45:43
Speaker 1: mean it's it's just you know, he had to he
45:46
Speaker 1: had to kind of learn through that too. But yeah,
45:48
Speaker 1: he was. He made everybody smarter, you know, just just
45:51
Speaker 1: he was so he was so enjoyable, no doubt. Those

Speaker 2: Yeah, so anyway, we have come a long way since then.
48:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
48:53
Speaker 2: Yeah. Originally I listened to the draft on a radio
48:59
Speaker 2: station from Dallas. It was good, but then I listened
49:02
Speaker 2: again on the on the website and uh, well, no comparison.
49:08
Speaker 2: I mean it's they they don't even have hold a
49:11
Speaker 2: candle to to the coverage Brothers and all those guys.
49:15
Speaker 10: It's really good, and you know, and.
49:18
Speaker 2: Listening to the station, there were a few picks that
49:22
Speaker 2: they didn't even know who the guys were, like they
49:24
Speaker 2: picked out of left field the selections. So it was like, okay,
49:29
Speaker 2: drop And then I heard it again on the on
49:32
Speaker 2: the West. That's the level of Cowboy know that I am,
49:36
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, and it was really a good drop.
49:39
Speaker 2: They they spoke about each selection beforehand, so they really
49:44
Speaker 2: knew how they were doing. So I went to congratulate
49:47
Speaker 2: all of you on very good, very good U very
49:51
Speaker 2: good job. Thank you again for all h very quickly.
49:56
Speaker 2: Meet my random cambo today Jimmy Jones, liman of the nineties.
50:01
Speaker 2: So remember what's funny with the first name of the
50:05
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson and the last name.
50:07
Speaker 1: Of Jay Jones. That's right, that's right, Jimmy Jones. That's yeah,
50:11
Speaker 1: all right, Armando, appreciate that good call. Thank you for
50:15
Speaker 1: saying that about the Draft show. And yeah, they did
50:17
Speaker 1: a great job. They always do. Chris is a big
50:20
Speaker 1: part of that as well. You know this just from
50:23
Speaker 1: a producer side, but you know, they do a lot
50:25
Speaker 1: of homework. They study and they kind of push each other,
50:28
Speaker 1: you know, because it's like, well I watched five guys,
50:30
Speaker 1: ten guys, twenty guys, and you know, and you could
50:33
Speaker 1: tell right away if you're on that show, like if
50:36
Speaker 1: you're not, if you know, if you're kind of slacking
50:37
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think they all do a
50:39
Speaker 1: good job of making sure that they there as knowledgeable
50:42
Speaker 1: as possible, and it comes together and you know, and
50:44
Speaker 1: it comes together there at the draft weekend where it's
50:47
Speaker 1: just a it's just a long haul of content there,
50:52
Speaker 1: like a marathon. Really. Jimmy Jones, Yeah, Jimmy Jones. He
50:58
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. I believe Charles
51:02
Speaker 1: Haley knocked the ball out of Jim Kelly's hand and Jimmy,
51:06
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jones caught it and uh in mid air and
51:10
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown and that that gave them the lead
51:13
Speaker 1: in that game. And I think that that was kind
51:15
Speaker 1: of one of those back breaker moments of like all right,
51:18
Speaker 1: like now we've kind of been messing around for a
51:20
Speaker 1: little bit. We'll let you score first. We had a
51:22
Speaker 1: punt blocked and all that, but now we're here to
51:25
Speaker 1: play and we're gonna take the ball and turn and
51:27
Speaker 1: turn you over and make plays and score off of it.
51:30
Speaker 1: And that that was one it kind of gets it
51:32
Speaker 1: definitely gets lost in the shuffle with of plays in
51:34
Speaker 1: that game when you're talking about the Leon let fumble
51:38
Speaker 1: there with you know, bebe chased him down and or
51:43
Speaker 1: the Ken Norton tackle there at the one and all
51:45
Speaker 1: that but the Jimmy Jones touchdown I think was was
51:48
Speaker 1: really big because that's that set the tone of like,
51:50
Speaker 1: all right, the Cowboys are over their little pregame, you know, jitters.
51:54
Speaker 1: Now they're here to play and here to win and
51:56
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Al Right, let's go, let's go it.
52:02
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, Also that that Jimmy Jones touchdown was part
52:06
Speaker 6: of the two fastest touchdowns scored in that game.
52:09
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, very very yeah, right, you're right.
52:13
Speaker 6: I have a story. I used to run the NFL's
52:17
Speaker 6: pub passing kick competition for the local area that I worked,
52:21
Speaker 6: and I also ran the sectional competition, and by doing that,
52:26
Speaker 6: I got invited to the state competition, or the Northern
52:29
Speaker 6: State competition, which was held at first it was at
52:32
Speaker 6: Texas Stadium and then eventually at AT and T Stadium. And
52:36
Speaker 6: the story I have is after we did the competition
52:39
Speaker 6: before the game, but we would do an exhibition right
52:42
Speaker 6: before the game started. Well, this time we were doing
52:45
Speaker 6: the exhibition and the Cowboy punters and kickers were warming
52:49
Speaker 6: up as well.
52:50
Speaker 3: Well.
52:51
Speaker 6: I almost got hit and I turned around and I
52:53
Speaker 6: see the equipment manager for the Cowboys. I can't think
52:56
Speaker 6: of his name, but we make eye contact. That we
52:58
Speaker 6: basically say, look, you look for me, and I look
53:00
Speaker 6: out for you, and I'll turn around and I'm not
53:03
Speaker 6: paying attention Lobason, I bump into somebody. I turned around
53:07
Speaker 6: and it's the return man Harris. I can't think of Dwayne.
53:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dwayne Harris.
53:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
53:13
Speaker 6: I turned around and it's Hill and I'm like, oh man,
53:16
Speaker 6: I got to get some proof of this. So I
53:18
Speaker 6: reached for my phone real quick, and I snapped a
53:20
Speaker 6: picture of him so I could tell my friends that
53:22
Speaker 6: I was that close to a Dallas Cowboy right before
53:25
Speaker 6: the game.
53:27
Speaker 1: There you go, yep. Now he So what year was
53:32
Speaker 1: that about? Twenty thirteen, twelve, something like that, something like that,
53:36
Speaker 1: I guess, sir, Yeah, Dayne.
53:39
Speaker 6: He might have been his last year next to last
53:41
Speaker 6: year with the Cowboys.
53:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he was. I mean he made uh yeah,
53:46
Speaker 1: he beat the Cowboys when he was with the Giants
53:49
Speaker 1: on a kickoff return. Yeah, and that was like twenty fifteen,
53:53
Speaker 1: so yeah, it made the Pro Bowl. I think that year.
53:55
Speaker 1: He was a good he's a good player. He was
53:57
Speaker 1: a good receiver as well. Yeah, I kind of caught
53:59
Speaker 1: up with a lot of other guys they had on
54:02
Speaker 1: their receiver, but yeah, I thought he was a good player.
54:05
Speaker 6: Yeah. I also have a story about a Tom Landry cowboy,
54:09
Speaker 6: but I can't think of his name, so I'll have
54:11
Speaker 6: to tell them another time. But okay, it was a
54:14
Speaker 6: pretty cool meeting him. But anyway, I'll let you go,
54:18
Speaker 6: so maybe somebody else can get in that's been waiting.
54:20
Speaker 6: But anyway, thank you, thank Chris, y'all have.
54:23
Speaker 1: A good day, all right, see you later. Thank you.
54:26
Speaker 1: Let's go one more call here, Tim and Winston Salem,
54:28
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Tim.
54:30
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how you doing good? How are you doing
54:33
Speaker 10: doing good? Doing good? Trying to make that all storyline
54:36
Speaker 10: team next year.
54:37
Speaker 1: You're doing good, man, You're you're you're rolling right now.
54:41
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, but listen, I want to turn my attention
54:44
Speaker 10: to back to the draft and back to the everybody's
54:50
Speaker 10: concerned about us not having a I guess running back
54:55
Speaker 10: or whatever. But I think the way we've drafted, bigger, stronger,
55:02
Speaker 10: more physical up the middle, it doesn't really take a
55:07
Speaker 10: super back. If we can just grind this thing out,
55:11
Speaker 10: get you know, get get some movement on the front.
55:17
Speaker 10: I think you know, any NFL caliber back could you know,
55:22
Speaker 10: literally fall forward for three yards if you if if
55:26
Speaker 10: your line it's gonna be as good as I think
55:29
Speaker 10: we're gonna be. What do you think about that?
55:31
Speaker 1: I agree? I mean, I agree with the premise that
55:33
Speaker 1: it starts, you know, inside out, It starts for the
55:37
Speaker 1: line starts on the on the in the trenches. Get
55:39
Speaker 1: that line, get those guys, get the holes open. Then yeah,
55:42
Speaker 1: you you can have you know, backs can come in
55:44
Speaker 1: and and and do well, you know, there's there's yeah,
55:49
Speaker 1: there's exceptions to the rule. But I think for what
55:52
Speaker 1: you're saying is is fix that line, get you know,
55:56
Speaker 1: get it, get the holes open, and then the runners
55:58
Speaker 1: can can run through. You don't need you know, the
56:00
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders of the world to come do that.
56:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, those guys are you know, you're gonna go pluck
56:05
Speaker 10: them off of trees. I mean, you know, I just
56:10
Speaker 10: think I just think we're we're in a panic mode
56:14
Speaker 10: about oh, we didn't get the running back. We didn't
56:16
Speaker 10: get the running back. I'm not as concerned about the
56:18
Speaker 10: running back as I am about fixing the offensive line.
56:23
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree, and I think a good example. Thank
56:26
Speaker 1: you Tim for the call. I would look back to,
56:29
Speaker 1: like ten years ago, ten and nine years ago, I mean,
56:32
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, they had the line that drafted Zach Martin.
56:36
Speaker 1: They had Frederick, they had Leary, and of course they
56:38
Speaker 1: had Tyron Smith and they you know, they had a
56:41
Speaker 1: really good line and DeMarco Murray rush for what eighteen
56:44
Speaker 1: hundred yards and he was, you know, offensive player of
56:47
Speaker 1: the year in the NFL. And then they don't resign
56:49
Speaker 1: him because they didn't value him as much as they
56:53
Speaker 1: valued their running game. So they didn't resign him. They
56:55
Speaker 1: kept they had Joseph Randall, they picked up the Darren
56:58
Speaker 1: McFadden and McFadden didn't start for four or five games
57:03
Speaker 1: and it ended up getting eleven hundred rushing yards, you know.
57:05
Speaker 1: And when Randall was out there, and that's a fifth
57:07
Speaker 1: round pick, I mean, he did some you know, he
57:09
Speaker 1: did some nice things when he was with the ball.
57:11
Speaker 1: I mean, he had other issues that caused him from
57:14
Speaker 1: being a good player, but he was very talented. And
57:18
Speaker 1: but I think the point there is their offensive line
57:20
Speaker 1: was great in fourteen fifteen sixteen. I mean when they
57:23
Speaker 1: had all those guys together there, and so that's what
57:26
Speaker 1: they're trying to get back to. Plug in the running backs.
57:29
Speaker 1: You get someone special, now you're really you got something great.
57:32
Speaker 1: But you know, they had Big Fadden at the end
57:34
Speaker 1: of his career and he still had a good year,
57:37
Speaker 1: picked up Alford Morris later, and you know things like that.
57:40
Speaker 1: So I think that's what they're looking at is let's
57:42
Speaker 1: get this line retooled, and when we do, then then
57:45
Speaker 1: we can I can't. You can't just plug any back in.
57:48
Speaker 1: But I do think that they they're not as concerned
57:51
Speaker 1: about it as they are fixing the line. All right, good,
57:54
Speaker 1: good stuff. We got a head to a meeting here
57:56
Speaker 1: and me and Chris du So we got to go.
57:58
Speaker 1: But thanks for all the all attend callers, just outstanding.
58:02
Speaker 1: We talked about everything I said it to start the show.
58:04
Speaker 1: We'll talk about whatever you want. We certainly did that
58:06
Speaker 1: and more, a lot of fun. We'll be back to
58:08
Speaker 1: do it again on Thursday. For Chris Beam. I'm Nick Evan.
58:11
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. On the storyline.
58:13
