Only reason we were having this discussion is his last name is Sanders. OK, hold on real quick. I just want to state the state of play here.

He is saying that if Shador had played as well as he did, and they tried to retire his number, but he wasn't Shador Sanders, everybody would be like, that makes total sense. Right. That's what he means. What we mean is you wouldn't even be trying it if it wasn't your son So it's like he's

Like there but on the other side of the earth Like exactly, you know what I mean? Yeah, no, and he'll never understand. He's gonna try and give an explanation But to me the explanation is going to support that you should retire Deon's number the explanation is going to support that you should retire Deon's number for Colorado. Anyway, listen to it. The only reason we were having this discussion is his last name is Sanders. Okay, that's it. It's been so many things accomplished at this university expeditiously. It's been unbelievable and I think we should be appreciative. We should be thankful we have a room full of wonderful people that covers us and I don't I don't know if you all were in this room two three years ago Okay, so I mean very few

Okay, but I mean it's a new day. We're doing things a little different Thank the training table. I think the food is better. Nobody said nothing about that It's a whole lot of things that are brighter in there. That's a weird defense of this too. Like, okay, you guys are talking about this number retired. Nobody's talking about how good the food is here. How come? Why don't you mention that?

Okay, D, I guess. I mean, it is weird that the news highlighted the murder on my street and not the guy who took in his garbage. My driveway, I blow that thing off three times a day, that pollen dust stuff. No one even. No one mentions it at all. Yeah, I hate that stuff. But yeah, the one time I come home and pass out on the driveway

and I wake up, now everybody's talking about that. I think the training tape, I think the food is better. Nobody's saying nothing about that. It's a whole lot of things that are brighter and they're better because someone stands on business and makes it that way. You know what? I actually think they are saying a lot about this business

being better and that there's better food. They gave you a new shiny $10 million a year contract. He's the third highest paid coach in college football right now. At 13 and 12? Yeah. That's working out all right. He's resilient when it comes to it being that way,

because everything we do is to improve everything for us. I think it was hot in here. One time I said, let's turn in that condition overnight on on our night game right the next time we came in what happened? I think about those details. I don't know how this has anything to do with Shadr. All of us. So if all of us are happy all of us should be happy. I'm not gonna be critical of you because I didn't get what I want. I don't get down like that. And the route to all of it is personal. Sometimes we got to get out the way man and just be thankful for our people. What others love their neighbor as themselves. That's what

the Bible told me. We love that neighbor truly we would have a problem with nobody else. Force field has been erected. Because this should be a big honor for him and yet it's it's being met with this. He don't care. Let's get this straight. He's a Sanders. He don't care. Who? What?

Travis don't either. I don't either. I don't care. I'm not mad. What's going on? What's happening? I just said I don't care. I'm not mad.

He's a Sanders. He doesn't care. So do you? No, I don't care either. I just said I didn't. That's why I'm telling you about air conditioning. Talking about this then. No, because I'm not mad. What he's saying is. Why you bringing it up? I'm not I didn't. That's why I'm telling you about the air conditioning. Talking about this then. No, because I'm not mad.

What he's saying is. Why are you bringing it up? I'm not mad at all. Let me tell you exactly what he's saying. He's saying, dude, look around. Look at all this cool shit I did. Get off my ass. If my kid gets his number retired, whatever.

He's saying, there's going to be some things that I'm going to do and I don't want to hear about it from you. You know why? Because I gave you a job by being able to be here and cover this team. The food is better. I'll turn the air conditioner on. People care about what you write now. That's because of me. Right. And if I give you that, don't mention anything about my wild shit I do of idolatry to build monuments to myself at this university. It's the dinner. You signed Dion to run your shit.

And now there's a bunch of old people at Colorado that are having to deal with the fact that they got a fox in the hen house who doesn't give a shit if Cordell Stewart was good. He's just like, can you name it Dion University? And if not, I'm going to try everything below that. And you know what they're going to do? Bite down and take it. Right, because they're on the map. That's exactly what they are going to do for that reason. They are on the college football map. It's to make it back to Luca and the mat.

You were on the basketball map. As a team, you mattered. You're not going to matter if it revolves around Anthony Davis, even if Anthony Davis is good. You're just not. He's not that magnetic superstar. So Deion is a magnetic superstar. He's printing money. Even at 13 and 12, he's going to get a huge raise and probably be worthy of that contract. Yeah, he's making them money. And he's just flat out saying what everybody else doesn't,

which is you shouldn't be allowed to criticize me if I make you money right that's basically like the that's his philosophy but you want to talk about money and it don't talk about being a sandis never must be the mud well that's the end of the day cool I have a one quick sports well you know we'll do it in a email. That's follow up that sports related. Want to do email right now? Sure. Okay.

Hey everybody. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. I'm going to give you one from our, uh, our Patreon comments. Okay. You guys don't yell at me for looking at comments. I'm trying to super serve the listener here. It also helps that this guy's name is Dave Hyman. OK. Breaking news. We were talking.

There you go. We were talking yesterday. Don't close your eyes at me. Why are you looking at me? Because I just saw you roll. Look out there. You rolled your eyes. What's all those people out there you can look at?

And my gold. Yeah, no, the Breaking Hyman thing crushes everywhere. Because I just saw you rolled your eyes. All those people out there you can look at. Yeah, no, the Breaking Hymen thing crushes everywhere. Thank you. You had mentioned yesterday that Brad Davis retired Jersey, and we were looking at a Tyron Smith's one-day contract. Now, certainly worth it for Tyron Smith if you're going to do it. I don't think anybody should do it.

It's just weird. But David Hyman was a I'd like to know the first one. I should't think anybody should do it. It's just weird. But David Hyman was a. I'd like to know the first one. I should have looked that up. Yeah. But go ahead. He's taking issue with your Brad Davis slander. Oh, OK.

So David says, and I knew this was going to happen. I did break him. He says, hey guys, when the Mav started as an organization, they picked up Brad Davis from the Lakers via expansion draft. He was immediately a fan favorite. The guy who would take a charge from a bigger player, he'd battle and scrap for loose balls. He got knocked around when he drove into the lane.

His game was blue color, editor's note for me, white. And he would do whatever he could to help the new struggling Mavs franchise. I love that they retired his jersey. A normal Dallas Mavericks take, the guy got a basketball team in his city, they have this guy, whatever, you'll take whatever you can get. But the reason that that comment stuck out to me,

I've told people this before, but when I was growing up, I listened to the ticket a lot. And I grew up listening to the hardline and the Musers, and my dad and his friends really hated bad radio like really hated it and I remember a couple of my dad's friends who were you know these are old grizzled drunks and they're just like I could I hated Dan is what I'm trying to tell you like it what they were like okay we can handle Bob

but this fucking Yankee they we can't handle him. And I always thought that was funny when I started listening. I was like, OK, well, this is the show I immediately gravitate to. But it just got me to thinking about Dan yesterday saying that this study he did where he determined Brad Davis was the worst, second worst retired jersey of all time, he did that right when he got here.

It might've been year one. So like, they bring him in and Bob's like, hey, we need to be cool and like get everybody on board. And like, we got to assimilate a little bit here. And I didn't know why people hated Dan, but I definitely do now that he got to Dallas and was like, all the guys that you have, Jerseys, retired, everything that you think is great here

is actually shitty and I'll tell you why they suck yeah well I was I went to my first mad game and you're like what is this in the rafters well let me let me have research yeah like I've never heard of this guy it's just funny cuz that comment just made me think of my dad and his buddy. Ugh, what's the, you got these Yankees in here now. That makes sense. Yeah. Well, sorry, David Hyman. I think you're OK.

I got one. Says it's a follow-up from a, appears to be some kind of a doctor or something. He's from Baylor Scott and White, Texas Brain and Spine Institute. This seems important. He says, as simple as I can put it, no SPF pill exists. No! You remember I was telling you that I'm, yeah, my dermatologist, let's see, I took a picture of it this morning so I could research it and then I got busy on this audio. I never did look into it.

What is it called? Helio Care Ultra is a pill I'm taking. It says it's a dietary supplement. Helio Care Ultra just sounds like a scam. It really does. But there's a picture of a sun in their logo. I get it, the helio. But then look how there's a little black over the sun.

It blocks out the sun. We're like eclipsing the sun. So yes, my dermatologist said, if you don't like slathering on the sunscreen every day, you could just take this pill. He needs to be investigated. And I was like, hell yeah. It's a lady. Call Sean Reb.

Hey now. It's a lady. I once had her look at my ball. Had a little, it was like a freckle or something, but I'm like, I don't know what it is. It wasn't there like last year. Yeah. Will you look at my ball? I don't do that now, but definitely in my 20s there were times I'm like, I don't know, bud. This doesn't look good.

Now I'm like, whatever. He's like, it's probably just a mangled little thing. There's probably nothing I can do about it. Yeah. So no go on the skin pill. He says, there is developing and compelling early research that polypodium increases the presence of cells and compounds at the skin surface to break down pre-cancer changes

in your cells, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. UD, excuse me, UV rays cause the change of vitamin D's precursor necessary for the liver to metabolize into active vitamin D. What? The guy that can utter that sentence listens to our show. I mean, I say it all the time. It's remarkable to me the amount of people

that we hear from that do smart things. Remarkable. And all I can think is it's just like back in the day when you'd have the king and they'd get some dumb ass to come dance for him and all of his buddies. That's us? Yeah, because they were smart, I guess. They were king.

And they're like, look at these. Yeah. Hit yourself in the balls. That way I can make it make sense to me. Got this email from Anonymous. Just said, wonder if you've seen this. And it's a picture of a magazine with an article in it called five minutes with and it's ticket to ride Southlake podcaster makes his move oh

Southlake style magazine it's out yeah it is out uh we could put the images up, where can one find this? On newsstands at CrossFit and Southlake? Yeah, I don't know. I think it's in Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, or Westlake or something. I don't know. They deliver it around. In 2023, the quick-witted broadcaster

left the airwaves to ride his own ticket, a sports news and entertainment podcast with thousands of paying subscribers known as the dumb zone The move is afforded Dan the opportunity to continue his spurs as personal brand. Oh, you got a brand sports hot takes Yep, go on and humor While also paying the rent for the Dragons Den the show's makeshift studio above his South Lake garage I think it's a very nice studio.

When it comes to leaving radio, Dan's answer, the pay cut was my number one concern and the only thing giving me pause before making the move. I remember Muhammad Ali once said, my principles are more important than the money. As it turns out, the bank wouldn't accept principles as a payment for my mortgage. Ollie didn't have a quote about that. Well done. See that's on my brand, right? Well done.
