Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

If you're ever injured, go to michaelthebull.com. That's MichaelTheBull.com and when you mess with the bull, you get the horns. What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again, Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. Yes. You are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. The donk here today for Tuesday, January 16th goes to my favorite sports franchise in the world, the Dallas Cowboys. Drop on the clues box for my Dallas Cowboys.

Not just the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. We weren't here yesterday, so I wasn't able to get this off. And I know we haven't, you know, been to a Super Bowl in 29 years. Hell, we haven't been to an NFC Championship game in 29 years. We are 5-13 in the playoffs since beating the Steelers to win our last Super Bowl in 1996. The Green Bay Packers.

Dropping the Clues bombs for the Green Bay Packers. Okay. Salute to the Green Bay Packers. They on the clues bombs for the Green Bay Packers. Okay? Salute to the Green Bay Packers. They beat us. They have more postseason wins, three, at AT&T Stadium than the Cowboys do in their own home venue. It's disgusting. Look, I'm numb to it after 29 years. I know every year we say the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl,

but what else am I supposed to say? Okay? I'm supposed to say, hey, we're going 12-5. We're going to get eliminated in the wild card game of the playoffs. Is that what you want us to say? No. Who talks like that? Pessimism has never won any battles.

So Dallas Cowboy fans, we shall remain optimistic and we shall declare that we are going to win the Super Bowl every year until we do. Okay. But that's not what I'm here. Okay. That's not what I'm here to discuss this morning. I'm here to discuss the fact that Mike McCarthy and Dan Quinn, our defensive coordinator, aren't fired yet. And Bill Belichick has already interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons. What the hell are we doing, Jerry Jones?

Okay, see, Jerry Jones, the reality is you're the problem. You're the problem because you want to be the owner, the president, and the GM. You need to relinquish every title except owner. I don't care that when people wore leather helmets, you had some success at the University of Arkansas as a football player. I don't care that you're one of very few owners who had a significant level of success as a football player. No, the reason the Cowboys suck now is because you want all the power. OK, being owner is not, you know, enough for you. All right. When Jimmy Johnson was our head coach and we was winning all those Super Bowls in the 90s,

Jimmy had to leave because y'all couldn't work together simply because you wanted more authority over the football side of the operation. Jerry Jones had the title of GM, but everybody knew Jimmy Johnson had all the control over on-the-field matters, and that's how it should be, and that's how it needs to be if you bring in Bill Belichick. But you got to go out there and start courting Bill Belichick. You're 81 years old, Jerry, okay?

The Apple Watch is ticking, all right, literally and figuratively. All right, Bill Belichick ran the front office for most of his time with the Patriots, so let him do the same with the Cowboys, but you got to go get him first. He don't want to be in Atlanta with the Falcons. That's small fries to Bill Belichick. All right, the most valuable head coach of all time needs to be with the world's most valuable sports franchise, period. All right, Jerry, listen to me.

That black man from the Bone Thugs Crossroads video with that long black trench coat and that fedora in them shades, he's preparing at any moment to touch you between the eyes. You don't have the time you think you have, okay? You wasted 29 years and too much great talent because you're afraid to have another alpha in the building. You're already the owner. It's your team. We know this.

You pay all the players. You pay all the coaches. Your ego will get stroked. Just go out there and get Bill Belichick. Okay? Okay. Don't let him go to Atlanta. If he goes to Atlanta, then I got to come back and give you another donkey of the day.

All right. Now, I also want to say this. I was thinking about this over the weekend. The Dallas Cowboys not winning a Super Bowl in 29 years is proof that the Illuminati does not exist. Okay. Where are the YouTube conspiracy videos about that you mean to tell me y'all believe entertainers okay are selling their souls for success but jerry jones with a net worth of 13.5 billion can't buy a soul or two huh he can't buy any success for this franchise y'all believe

black entertainers are getting movie roles and record deals and just achieving various levels of success because of a secret society but jerry jones who has a net worth of 13.5 billion dollars and the dallas cowboys team which is worth over nine billion dollars america's team they can't get none no success wouldn't jerry jones be considered one of the elite don't the elite uh control things well how come they can't control my dallas cowboys winning jerry jones don't the elite uh control things well how come they can't control my dallas cowboys winning jerry jones don't got nobody to sacrifice huh well i say right now we need to sacrifice everybody and by sacrifice i mean fire starting with mike mccarthy and dan quinn okay please give jerry jones and the dallas cowboys the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. I realized I didn't even really want to get him donkier today until I started doing it because I love my team and all I wanted to do was take my dad to a Super Bowl and I will get that opportunity

this won't be the Cowboys playing in it no it definitely will be the Cowboys playing in it I ain't talking about taking my dad to just some regular Super Bowl I'm talking about taking my dad to the Super Bowl when the Dallas Cowboys are playing in it if we go out there and get Bill Belichick I don't even know get Bill Belichick, I don't even know why Bill Belichick is wasting his time going to interview in Atlanta.

Falcon said he already interviewed with them. Waste of time. Okay. Waste of time. But also Jerry Jones, don't waste Bill Belichick's time. Fire Mike McCarthy and Dan Quinn today. Dan Quinn got four interviews set up this week for head coaching

availabilities anyway. So he ain't going to be there no way. Mike McCarthy got to go bring in Bill Belichick so we can go to the Super Bowl next year. New Orleans, Lil Wayne, Drake, halftime, performers. Okay? Lil Wayne, Drake, and friends in New Orleans. All right?

Next year, Cowboys versus whoever. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkity day. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's ask this question for delirious cowboy fans. Excuse me.

Let's ask this question for people out there. Finish this sentence. Before I leave this earth, I need to experience what? That is the question. 800-585-1051. Myself, I would love to see my Knicks win a championship. We've been hurt ever since Patrick Q and Mr. Fingerow. But I'm just asking.

800-585-1051. Finish this sentence. Oh, Jason Kelsey retired. Podcasting must be good. Before I leave this earth, I need to experience what? Do I want to waste that on a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl? It's not going to happen anyway 800-585-1051
