Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode one of whatever the fuck this is. You may recognize my beautiful voice, Danny Bayliss. I guess I'm a part-time member of the No Puppet Productions team. And this responsibility has been bestowed upon me to assemble a crew to do some fill-in work while the Dumb Zone guys are taking a much-needed break for the holidays. And let's do a roll call, because I think I've put together a pretty good cast of misfits from the world of podcasting and radio and let's start immediately to my left hi jasmine hello jasmine how are you darling i am so great danny bayliss good there's nowhere else i'd rather be than right here to your left okay um so maybe let the 17 listeners know what your role is here at uh at no puppet we've known each other a long time we've worked together uh many different places yeah most recently up

until now um we were over at 97.1 and that short-lived uh talk radio format yeah yeah and we've uh rejoined here at no puppet and uh you're doing a lot of stuff for these cats, right? Yeah, a lot of stuff. Salesing and content programming shit and everything in between. Watering the flowers, getting the Tito's, all the things, yeah. And more importantly, doing fill-in holiday work as well.

Directly across from me, oh my God, an old friend, an old buddy that I've known a long time from way back in the ticket days. And also at the short-lived talk format at 97.1. But that station has risen from the talk ashes back to everybody's favorite music, rock. That's right. You love him. You know him. You can't live without him. It's Kevin KT Turner.

Hi, Kevin. Hello, Daniel. Hello, Jasmine. Hello. Thanks for having me. And yes, I am contractually obligated to say three to six on 97.1 The Eagle. There you go. Because I'm one of the few who was fired and six, a 97.1, the eagle. There you go. Because I'm one of the few who was fired and then brought back.

Where's the screeching eagle? Isn't that something we've got to play to? I think trademarked. I think it's an iHeart thing. Got it. They own it. They're actually contesting Biden's recommendation or signing into law that the bald eagle is now the national bird. I saw that.

Of America. I thought it already was. Yeah, that's what I thought. Right? I thought it was like rules, like if you killed an eagle, you go to jail for 15 years. Oh, no, like for life. Like that's a federal offense.

You can't kill a bald eagle. I get real confused with bird law, but that was, I was like, does Biden think this is what he's doing on the way out? He's like, well, I got to make this bird thing happen. is what he's doing on the way out just like well this is i gotta make this bird thing happen i could i could see i could see the powers that be over there where you weren't maybe filing some kind of lawsuit against this was like wait a second we had the eagle before this stupid country anyway well thank you guys for for doing this um this feels a little weird but i think we'll you know we'll smoothly i mean I take a lot of solace in knowing that the listeners of The Dumb Zone are probably going to bitch about it either way.

Yeah. And I love them, but they're not going to want me. Well, they don't want me. They don't want me. I see a lot of more Danny and more Jasmine. No. We actually work here. Oh, that's true.

I think people are largely familiar with you, and those that aren't are going to, they're going to come to love you so quickly. So when I told Jake that I was doing, cause I want to know that Jake knew, he was like, Oh, we'll pay you whatever. We'll pay you.

And I was like, Whoa, you'll pay me whatever. Y'all got it like that. All right. But I'm not doing this for money. I'm doing this cause I like hanging out with my friends. And because if'm not working i don't have a lot to do yeah how are you guys able to to orchestrate this the day after christmas because this kind of seems like kind of a big ask

you know for people with i mean kevin you're married and jasmine you're married, and Jasmine, you're... You know, hoodwinking a guy. Uh-huh. Yeah. Gaslighting someone somewhere. Gaslighting someone. Well, no, I mean, I was like, hey, this is like the off chance that we're actually in town this year. So it worked for me. It was weird with the Christmas falling on a Wednesday. Yeah, that sucked.

I knocked out the wife side of the family, which as of two months ago, my 10 new aunts and uncles. And then a lot more cousins, too, all at once, because they're officially family. Did you do the Olney trip? No, the Olney trip's this weekend. So tomorrow, after we record, I'm going to go to Olney and see my parents. So we'll go to the country and probably ride some ATVs and shoot some stuff and talk to my neighbors the goats they're actual goats that shit man i love that are you a texas girl jazz oh yeah okay you grew up in dallas area are you a country girl no i mean i'm kind of like i'm like a bougie redneck

okay like i don't i hate hunting i hate hunting don't like hunting but you know like that like that's my one like everything else i'm kind of redneck and except that so yeah everyone back home thinks i'm a big pussy and i am because i'll go and fake like i'm a country guy for a couple days i actually won't at all but that they're like you want to go out to the ranch i'm like i'm good yeah but you look like rip wheeler so they're like that yes are you me? Has nobody ever told you this? That's Yellowstone villain or hero? No, he's like, oh, are you kidding me?

The ladies drop the panties for this. See, I quit after episode two of Yellowstone. Of the official Yellowstone, Yellowstone? Because I've seen the offshoots, 1883 and 1923. Those are actually really good. Landman, you've got to watch that now with Billy Bob. I mean, I watched the first episode, and the wife definitely didn't like the part at the high school stadium.

She was like, why are they just there for the spring game? And I was like, you've made a really good point here. It was just the spring game. But, you know, this is where it kind of killed me with Yellowstone. It was like episode two, Costner gets the call, and there's a fight at the saloon, and we got to get in the helicopter and go to there. So he's there with his kiddo,

and they're going to go, you know, whip some ass. And then as they're flying over some open land, he realizes that a pregnant heifer is about to birth. So they stop and land the helicopter in the middle of the field and give birth to this calf. I'm like, and then the episode ends and you don't know what happened at the saloon. And I never found out what happened in episode three.

That was enough for me. I just couldn't do it. It was the pregnant heifer. You're like, I draw the line. I was like, wait, the pregnant cow is more important than the ass kicking we got to go do at the bar? Well, they do all kinds of ass kicking. And he's like, they're like, fuck you, you rich they get to stop on the middle of a bar in the middle of a bar fight and go

you know save a or whatever birth a cow you know the the taylor sheridan phenomenon which i i it was brought to my attention yesterday by a buddy of mine that he wrote sicario yes i did not know that what his he's got a pretty good track record yes but the paramount plus content i think he's batting about 500 which is really good i think uh lords of kingstown is phenomenal i think that the original yellowstone is a little too syrupy and soap opera for me but i think 1883 is really solid 1923 is really good i think one of those is coming coming back for a second season um the land man i haven't watched it but i've seen a clip that really turned me off to the whole thing is it the teenage girl it's the teenage girl well it's his daughter when he's talking about how to keep her from getting

pregnant and i'm like okay look i'm all about having a progressive family and a really open relationship with your kids but if i'm a if i'm a father and my teenage daughter comes up to me and says he can come wherever he wants just not in me ah well yeah okay so in fairness, and I see what you're saying. No, that's one clip that I've seen. That's one clip. Okay. So in all fairness, when you just see that clip and you have no other context, you're

like, what the is this? So Joey and I, my boyfriend, we saw that and we were like, Ooh, I don't know if I want to. Okay. Whatever. So then we were like, we're bored. Let's just start the series. And if you see everything set up, Billy Bob's character he's the typical like he's the

dad that's like honey i don't need to know that yeah so he wasn't like oh tell me about it like well i didn't know that he was uncomfortable with it as well right and so i think the more you see the way they lay out his character and when you see you will really really appreciate it and i think because if you're from here you understand all like the tech references and all kinds of you know crap but anyway but back But back to Taylor Sheridan. Man, there's one thing that he's got on Paramount Plus that I don't know if anybody's watching, but I think there's been two seasons of it. And I think right now we are in a golden era of modern espionage movies slash series.

There are so many good ones that have come out in the last probably five to 10 years. And Lioness is one of them. That's a really good one. It's freaking great. He did such a good job with that. But the amount of content that that guy is creating and writing, he's writing that stuff. I mean, when does that well dry up? Because it happens to everybody.

Oh, not him. Well, but you've seen how he's kind of diversified. I mean, he's, and how do you, he's a genius because how do you, how are you so damn good at all of those? And they're so different, right? And like, as a writer's brain, you know, you're, you, you're a songwriter. So it's like, when does that, like, there's gotta be a point where that just kind of. It happens. The well tap. And it can happen for years. Yeah. You can run into writer's block to where you don't come up with anything for, for a year or two, three years. And the way to manage that is to not, not, uh, overcorrect or try too hard to force,

to force stuff. Sometimes you've got to just step away from it but man what a run that guy has had no it's a crowd i just thought he's a writer on uh hell or high water which is a really fun movie too is everything regional i need him to come out with like a city show oh he is the madison that's a spinoff of yellowstone and it's a uh i guess new york City people move. Yeah. Oh, it's dude. The guy doesn't stop like he doesn't stop. I do love the fact that that like this, this part of the country, Texas, North Texas, Dallas, Fort Worth, specifically, specifically not a big hotbed for movies and TV and film. You can probably list on two hands the number of things that really come to mind that have made a name that were prominently

or primarily filmed around these parts. But that guy is really great about utilizing this particular area into his filmmaking and his shows. And I know that there's, maybe it's the Madison that's about to come out. With Michelle Pfeiffer. Yes. Okay, that's called the Madison?'s about to come out. With Michelle Pfeiffer. Yes.

Okay, that's called the Madison? Yes, and they shut down streets in downtown Dallas to shoot that. They also rented out and paid fees to utilize existing businesses to shoot for location shots. I know this for a fact. I can't speak to any of them them any of the bars or businesses that were included in this because of uh an nda until it comes out but yeah they he used to and they're happy to to take care of the the places locally no it's really cool yeah it's not just like hey you're gonna be in a really popular show on Paramount+. Here's $100.

No, it's like, look, we're pros. He coins them up. Yeah. And we will take care of you. Yeah, and I don't live in Fort Worth, right? But I know, I wonder how people liked that. Like the street's going to get shut down for a minute because Jon Hamm's got to film some stuff here.

Oh, they loved it. But it's probably pretty great. Oh, they're getting, well, because all these, like you said, Danny, all these local businesses are getting theirs too. So I'm like, absolutely, why not? And people in Fort Worth, you know, it's kind of a cool flex, right? Absolutely, yeah. It's a big small town for sure.

And it's great, you know, it's good for these businesses too because these actors that have been hanging out, I think for the most part, Jon Hamm specifically has been great about frequenting some of the local businesses and doing Instagram, Instagramable stuff. So people are getting to promote, Hey, come out to my barbecue joint. Look,

who's having some ribs. It's John Hamm. He comes here all the time. And he's really good in land, man. Y'all, you have to, and Oh my God.

I'll give it a shot. Allie Larder from varsity blues. She plays the crazy wife and she nails this role. She nails the slutty ex-wife. Whipped cream gal is back. She's back, y'all. Incredible. Love it.

That's how I knew we were having it, because the Varsity Blues cast, you have her, and then James Van Der Beek just got cancer. So I was like, yeah, we're aging just right on time. Oh, in real life? Van Der Beek got the C? Colon cancer. Is he going to be all right? I think he's fighting it with all he has. Yeah, so. I don't know. I don't know colon cancer is he gonna be all right i think he's fighting it

with all he has yeah so i don't know i don't know if he's gonna be all right this just came out a couple months ago he's gonna be as okay as people are when they have that i don't know i don't know the rates i was just curious if you'd read his prognosis i have it okay no he's uh he's a big uh content creator on instagram for like uh gentle parenting and stuff like that i don't know if you guys were aware of that i did not actually am and he's super christian he too i believe right he's pretty faith-based he yes but it's it kind of um more spiritual so it's not like beat you in the face no no no no aaron rogers yeah that's another one i've got to watch is he he bongoing? Did you watch?

Oh, I watched. All right. Obviously, we're talking about some TV stuff right now. And I love talking about television because it's the one thing that I get to do for myself when the little man's to bed. You get that one or two hour window where it's calm. But you know, you got to go to bed soon because he's going to be up early. So I usually get to watch about an hour or two of TV every night.

Yeah. But yeah, the Aaron Rodgers documentary on Netflix was something. Two episodes, there's two, three episodes. Did you watch it, Chaz? No, and you know what? The only reason I want to watch this is because of the ayahuasca segment. Okay. Because Joey, my boyfriend, is a big proponent of ayahuasca.

He's gone to two retreats, one here near Melissa. And the only thing stopping me from doing it, I hate vomiting. And people just like, you vomit, like fucking vomit like crazy and have diarrhea like crazy when you're doing this. So those are the only two reasons I want to do it. But this is why I want to invest in this. I feel like a pretty good way to lose some weight. I'd be in. I don't remember them on the documentary talking about vomiting and all that stuff,

but I don't think he was trying to. I think he was really trying to paint it in a very good light. I'm a Packers fan, so it was very fun for me to watch that. Oh, it's a blast. The way they bounce back and forth. And then for all you McCarthy fans out there, you'll realize how many of his wide receivers weren't open at all. That was very fun to watch.

Yeah. out there you'll realize how many of his wide receivers weren't open at all that was very fun to watch yeah but like it was uh the thing about aaron rogers is he's absolutely a fraud like there's no doubt about it the guy's a phony but there are some things that i actually am with him on like the family stuff yeah like absolutely dude what his family did was messed up okay well let's let's let's talk about it a little bit so there's a three part uh uh i guess it's a netflix sports kind of sports doc yeah so it's three three parts each about an hour long and the first one i would say just kind of like a little background um then they get into the ayahuasca stuff prominently in the second episode i have yet to see the third one and i think that one focuses mainly on all of the covid vaccination immune versus immunization stuff

they kind of uh talk about that all that controversy that was going on at the time but uh man i'm enjoying it so far i just haven't had a chance to finish it uh but uh man i had a conversation with somebody a couple of days ago about about aaron rogers i believe that he is a really smart guy i have no doubt that he's got a very high uh intelligence quotient intellect but there's certain aspects of of him that I don't know what other way to describe it other than fake smart. And it's using words and being like, Oh, I read a dictionary. I'm going to throw this.

He, he uses intelligence as a way to over correct or overcompensate for people assuming that he's just a dumb football player and nothing more. So it often, the way I see it, it feels almost false. It feels forced. It feels like, hey, look at me. When he uses certain words and brings up certain things, it's like, oh, you know, I did my research. I'm like, well, you know, look, acquiring knowledge is nothing more than like listening to people and reading and school and and whatnot but i feel like sometimes he gets the uh abridged version yeah and they just kind of like remembers a few sentences or buzzwords and that becomes now

his way of talking about that topic and it's kind of like instant expertism on anything he's wiki smart wiki smart is which i think we all are i agree but it's something about him it's it's like it it just doesn't ring true to me there's something fake phony about the eyes when you do a facial profile on people like when you just look at their face and you're like oh that's like hits his eyes oh he's got serial killer eyes yeah it's something he's i mean look at all these women that are like severely damaged by him yeah that he's dated and like it has like his latest one shailene woodley or whatever her name is like she was like i won't even talk about it in interviews because it was just like so traumatic yeah so he's also he says in the documentary that he didn't do himself any favors by the women, you know, nailing a bunch of pot ass.

I mean. Which is like, okay, dude. It was more like famous. Yeah, yeah, famous. And like Olivia Munn. Oh, she was the hottest. You know, the Danica thing was very weird. I know. Sports hot, though. And so small. And just so small. Well, exactly.

One of my favorite pictures I ever have. It's my Manute Bowl Muggsy Bogues is Big Ben Rogers next to Danica Patrick in a photo. It's incredible. But the thing about him is like he was not like that until he got famous and TMZ's watching him.

Because I remember, this sounds so crazy, but it's a very specific reference. And if I would have known we were going here, I would have pulled this from a long-ass time ago. George Lopez used to do a nightly talk show on TBS. And I only know this because I watched it the time that they had on Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings.

And Aaron Rodgers couldn't even make a sentence. He's not like the very fluent guy who's going on McAfee and riffing on things. Like, he was very much sheltered and seemed like dumb football guy, like you said. I think he probably wanted to snap out of that at some point. You get famous and people are noticing you. And they go into that TMZ stuff in the documentary, which is pretty good. And I'm glad they did that.

You know, it does kind of humanize him a little bit. Because he has not seemed very humanize him a little bit because he has not seemed very humanized in a while. He looks like watching him with the Jets has been nuts. And it's actually how it was the last couple years in Green Bay when they were good in going

to the conference championship game and any time there's an incomplete pass, he's bitching out the wide receiver. And it's like, wait, dude, I thought you were getting healed on this like i thought you were becoming better this is big claim when he maybe not his most recent one but one of his most recent ayahuasca trips he talked about how at peace he wasn't it wasn't a week later that he's just back to his old old self that's why i've talked about it goes back to what you're saying well it's what i'm talking about is there's a difference when Aaron Rogers uses words and sentences and concepts that are maybe outside of the norm and a little and

come off as somewhat intelligent because he kind of looks at you like I'm smarter than you. There's a difference in, in listening to somebody like, uh, Neil deGrasse Tyson or Christopher Hitchens. They are just smart and that's how they are. They're very intelligent people. It doesn't sound like they're trying to show you how smart they are. Where with Aaron Rodgers, he's just got this smug thing like, fuck you, I'm the smartest guy in the room. And I can see how he would be a master manipulator, a gaslighter in a relationship. Ask Matt LaFleur too. What too what's that ask matt lafleur too

jesus it's you know that's that's where like so in that documentary mike mccarthy comes off looking really good yep matt lafleur comes off looking uh okay but they don't ask matt lafleur any tough questions about aaron because i really want like aaron rogers they purposely show an interview of him going to Favre's ranch. This might be how the third episode opens. That's another one. He's basically in Favre's admitting that Favre sucked and I could have taught you things.

Treated him like shit. Favre famously had a comment that was, it's not in my contract to teach Aaron Rodgers how to play football. Aaron Rodgers is like, so I wanted to show Jordan. I wanted to help him along the way and it makes Aaron look really good but I'm like dude you were doing interviews and you're like taking shots at the Packers for drafting another quarterback so that's not helping Jordan like that stuff gets back to Jordan love sure so like I don't know that he was as good as he looks in the documentary on that like I don't think that's how it actually went and that's how you end up knowing that he absolutely had a ton of i don't

know about a ton but he had quite a bit of editorial control of this thing he could have taken this thing oh and a lot of different directions it's it reeks of of aaron rogers in the editing room when this thing was put together and it was in it was put together probably when he was going to the jets new chapter and they thought they were going to go win all the super bowls yeah and not have two five win seasons you know and that's like the cowboys documentary that's coming out next year oh kill me this is one of the major reasons that this killed jerry the packers loss in january is because he thought this was the year and we're going to get it all captured on Netflix. Like, dude, I've talked to, you know, my buddies, I do the one star Cowboys podcast with Saad and

John, and they're talking about how like a couple of times in the last couple of years, you know, just bumping into Netflix guys on the elevators at games and things like that. Just like they were very, it was, they were very much around thinking that last year was the year and it wasn't and they lose in a heartbreaking fashion like they always do and that just killed jerry and that's why we all thought mccarthy wouldn't you know be here well let's let's segue into that i mean the aaron rogers doc is i can't wait to finish it i can't wait to see how they frame all of the uh the the covid slash vaccination stuff but, two out of three episodes in, it's quite good. But yeah, we brought up McCarthy a couple of times.

And I was texting, we'll probably talk about this maybe when we discuss some of our Christmas, Thanksgiving, holiday stuff. But I was texting my son's stepdad, Malcolm's stepdad. His mom is married. They have a little baby girl now. But we're all super close and very progressive and all that. But he and I are friends and he's a huge Cowboys fan. So we were texting during the game the other night and I told him, I said, man, before, say five weeks ago, when Dak went out and cooper came in to to try to wrangle this team or get this

team you know across the finish line to the end of the season i wanted them to lose every game i wanted them to be so bad so that they would clean house get rid of mccarthy get a good draft pick true cowboys fans wanted that that's what makes me go insane when people are like, oh, yeah, stop. But now that I'm seeing what this team is actually capable of with, look, largely decimated on both sides of the ball. I mean, you've got a slapdick offensive line. You've got guys that have been hurt all year on defense. Something is happening.

Something is weirdly positive. And I know they really haven't beaten anybody great, but look, there's no – you cannot dismiss. They beat freaking Baker Mayfield. Yeah. They beat Tampa, which is not a bad team. I get that. But there's something interesting about what's happening right now.

And like I said, I wanted McCarthy out of here. I wanted them to have a terrible record. But something right now, it's like I almost want them to. Okay, well, let's unpack that a little bit. What would it look like right now? Because clearly the team is playing for themselves first and foremost and pride. But I think they really like him i think they really really like mike mccarthy yeah we knew this when dac uh while injured from his car did an interview yeah with uh jory he might have just been doing an interview with jory because she's cool you know but like usually injured guys don't

do a lot of interviews especially if they're quarterbacks. It's like a chance to get away from the media. Dak is not being asked to talk a lot. So for him to do that and then to go out of his way to be like, hey, McCarthy, he's our guy. And then the next week, Micah Parsons is like, oh, yeah, it's our guy. Now my theory on this, I should be very open and clear for those who don't know. You're not a fan. I am a lifelong Packers fan.

I've seen every Mike McCarthy game. I don't like how he was hired. I don't like how it ended in Green Bay for a lot of different reasons. And I've always thought that he's gotten way too much credit for his success, which sounds nuts because he's a

winning head coach with a good track record. Here's a part of that. Players absolutely love him because it's easy. It's easy. And they can probably slap him around. They can probably treat him like shit, and he would take it. Here's the thing with him. He absolutely gets credit for the ring, right?

Yes. Dude, Aaron Rodgers got them that ring. They nearly missed the playoffs that year. That's true. They were a punt return and another NFL game away from missing the playoffs. Like Deshaun Jackson ran a punt back in a game that did not involve the Packers on the field. And it knocked the Giants out of the playoffs, I think. And then they went on a run because Rodgers went on the biggest heater of his life.

They documented it pretty well in that documentary. He's like, I played the best football of my life in that little span. Yep. So it's like the team at the end getting hot we've seen this a million times now here's what i know about jerry jones there's a couple things one they absolutely are not gonna hire a black guy it's just not gonna happen here's how we know they don't interview people yeah they don't like interviewing coaches here's what they do mar. Marvin Lewis, Rooney rule. Check.

Okay. Let's see. We saw this NFL Network piece of Mike McCarthy and his barn. Let's do that. Stevens always liked him. Competition committee stuff. Hired. And just like that,

Mike McCarthy. They don't interview anyone. Garrett was here for 10 years. They don't like to interview people. So they're not going to go interview a bunch of people. They're not. They're not going to pay top dollar. By the way, Andy Reid makes $20 million.

Mike McCarthy makes like $4 million a year. So they're not going to go pay someone over $10 million. They're not doing that. And a yes man. You think, does Mike McCarthy look like he's got any stones to stand up to Jerry? No. Remember in his introductory presser where he's like, Oh to stand up to jerry no you have to you can't remember in his like introductory presser where he's like oh thanks jones family i mean i haven't seen a lick of

football in four years i've been on a fishing boat that's where he said that he got off the job so great that that was that was a whole different thing the thing about i do think mccarthy won't like to their face stand up to him but i think he has done it before because i think they were going to fire him after year three and then he did in february like he called like rich eisen or was it dan patrick it was one of them out of nowhere and started doing an interview about like how it's his team and how he loves dan quinn but it's his team and that was the same year that he ran kellen out of town and we're gonna run the damn ball and all that stuff and then sure enough people were gone and he got his own coaching staff and he's calling plays and here's where you are with

him calling plays now but i do agree with danny the devil you know might be better than hiring the unknown and the cowboys are not going to look under every stone no they're not and and i think you were probably going to go to they're not going to they're not okay you so you bring up jasmine you bring up a point does is mike mccarthy the type of person that's going to have the stones to stand up to Jerry Jones? I believe he does, but Mike McCarthy has been around this league long enough. He's been with his organization long enough, and the thing that you say is Jerry Jones. That thing is a constant. That's not going anywhere.

jones that that's that thing is a constant that's not going anywhere if they brought in a young guy uh somebody from the you know the shanahan tree you know someone like that that has stones and is going to defy jerry and stand up to him he's gone that's yeah right he's not going anywhere the thing about mike mccarthy is he's he's got some wisdom he's got some age and experience to know how to navigate that relationship pushover with Jerry Jones we don't really know that he may not be a pushover totally no but but to our eyes and what we see I can see how we would be able to to assume or deduce that but what's really probably happening is is Mike McCarthy might have a really good ability to navigate a unique, difficult, weird relationship and still be able to get what he wants done on the football field, in the locker room, scheme-wise, play calling, all of that stuff. And I just feel like it's probably what's going to happen

because like kevin's laid it out they're not going to bring in a black guy they're not going to bring in somebody young they're not going to bring any anybody inexpensive they like staying with guys as long as they possibly can yeah until it becomes futile and you can or or just where the records sucks for two or three years in a row, this year can be all blamed on injury. 100%. They lost the highest paid player in the NFL. And Micah, when they started playing better, and I guess step in line with beating the Giants and the Panthers,

but also the Bucs and the Commanders who are going to go to the playoffs, is when Micah came back. That's when the defense started playing good. So you have Micah to put in there. That's when they started going 12-5. It has nothing to do with McCarthy in my mind. I'm not saying nothing, but when they went 12-5, 12-5, 12-5, they had Micah Parsons on their team.

And that's when this team started playing good this year. But I've said it the whole time, McCarthy might get let off the hook because of a million distractions. And that's Dak getting hurt. That's the CD contract. They weren't on the same page in September because the deal didn't get done. The sun. The effing sun.

Oh, the curtain. I mean, there's a new story every week. And it's like none of these are focusing on some of the cartoon aspects of this team from September and October. Just because you started playing different in November and December doesn't really change much. Now, he should get credit for Cooper Rush winning games, absolutely. That stuff, those are all check marks that I think Jerry's going, okay, look what he could do there.

And they absolutely believe this because Jerry's so damn optimistic all the time. They absolutely think that this would have been a playoff team and a contender if nobody got hurt yeah and that's just not how it was when you look at how they were playing in september and october it was bad they couldn't get anyone open exactly and that's my problem was the next coach has to be an offensive head coach i'm a little worried about the defense because i'm pretty happy with how they've been playing and kind of coming together i think

zimmer's gonna quit i mean his he had a press conference last week and he's just like i'm tired it's coming back it's been fun but i'm tired well i think okay for me personally and i don't know if you where you guys sit on what you think the dallas cowboys are but at this point all and it finally like i don't know if it was this season where i'm just over it man i'm fucking over it i'm over the excuses i'm over the stupidity i'm over the drama i'm over the circus i'm over us just being the dallas cowboys with nothing to show for it right we are a corporate brand we will never care about football until the jones family is gone and that's sorry folks that'll be geez how old are the kids so you you've got Charlotte, Steven, Jerry Jr. Until they're gone.

I mean, the grandkids are in the front office. I mean, that's what I'm saying. But like that, the Jones family has to be gone. We have a corporate, rooting for the Cowboys is like rooting for AT&T. Like we're a corporate brand, period. We are not a football team. No, they're an heirloom family.

This thing is going to last as long as they keep producing children. They are. And they have cranked out a lot of children. A lot of kids and grandkids. Dallas, Fort Worth, I hate to tell you, find another team because they don't give a shit about football. And they're blatantly middle fingering us every day and telling us this. Because when you've got clips from Jerry Jones on the Netflix thing, it's a whatever, it's soap opera, 365.

That's what y'all fucking care about great you do not care about football and for those of us who actually care about football not the other shit it's infuriating stopping you know caring stop caring or stopping to care which is what i did quite a long time ago several years ago it's very freeing. But I feel like that the way that the team has kind of gotten better in spite of injuries and in spite of the things that we were complaining about, you know, heck, before Dak even went down. What is happening what what is wrong with this team they've progressively improved and gotten better I think that they've bought more into Zimmer's scheme I think that was a big growing pain is is the replay of replacing yep Dan Quinn and having an entirely different defensive mindset

and different packages in there but one thing that you think about this at what point in this year have we ever looked at a cowboy game can you think of one time maybe maybe more than one where you could look at something that McCarthy directly did that was glaring that made you think that's terrible like a clock management thing or a personnel thing too many to name i mean i can't i can't think of one because maybe there are but what kevin said a minute ago because of all of the other things the injuries the sun cds contract all of these other extemporaneous things that that kind of always fog up this team those things really never come to the forefront where the announcers are going wow i don't know what he was thinking there you know uh how did he why did he burn that time out there

or are these these really fireable offenses that get coaches let go i don't think you're going to be able to point to any of those and go and and find them just find just a justifiable reason to to get rid of it i don't think you will either and this is why i think the the glaring thing to me is the apps it's like you go crazy it's it's like watching the first two months and nobody getting open when i'm again the packers the dolphins the ravens even the chiefs even like without guys who are healthy stuff guys getting open like all the time and then you watch what the cowboys do and it's gotten a little bit more diverse than the last month, what they've done on offense, which is weird.

But, like, it's just, no, we can't do that anymore. Like, that went away, and that's why he got fired in Green Bay. Like, he just not, and here's the thing, Mike McCarthy, much like the Joneses, I don't think he's going to do everything he can in his power or turn over every stone to fix the offense. I don't think the Joneses are going to do everything that they can in free agency or in a coaching search.

But to me, this is where like, okay, so everyone's going to say Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator, that's going to be your hot name. It's pretty damning that Ben Johnson has already gone out to the media and getting it out there is like i only want to go to a place where you know i kind of match up with the gm and you know i want to make sure that we're all in line here and jerry's already not going to hire a guy like ben johnson who's a no name which by the way no one talks about this about ben johnson ben johnson could absolutely be a fucking failure in the NFL. Like, he was there with the Lions when they had Matt Patricia and they sucked. Yes.

He's now got a bunch of first-round draft picks and then has made it work in a good offense, but it's a hot name and he's going to demand $15 million a year. Jerry ain't paying that for a head coach. Like, Jerry's going to go cheap on that. And that's where I was sitting there going, McCarthy would sit here and take four million dollars a year or five million dollars a year

he would take a three-year deal if jerry offered it and he could take his houses off his two houses off the for a for sale market and just to hang out and keep living a comfortable life and you know what they'll probably go 10 and 7 12 and 5 and 11 and 6 or have one hurt year in there now but but i think to fix the cowboys you have to fix dak and that's my concern is dak is broken and dak can't throw it a title to knock out another baby that takes and y'all know y'all have sex i'm like well how bad is his knee or whatever his leg because if you do the math i'm like i did the math on this you weren't that hurt to be able to do that i mean you can just sit there right i mean i don't or you could jam it in a cup yeah you could fuck a cup

i'm fucking a cop it's the last time you fuck a cop. You cop fucker. Look, Jerry, at Jerry's age, though, is he really going to start over with an unproven head coach? I mean, seriously, that is starting. Jerry doesn't care about football. He's so old, though, man. Does he really see? Look, when you start over with-

You've got to have a skin on the wall. He's going to keep- McCarthy's going to be here next year. I really think so. Of course next year. Of course he is. Of course he is. And we're going to continue this mediocrity because it's what we do. Get everybody healthy and run it out there again. See what happens.

Hopefully, you know, draft well. And they don't do shit on the free agent market at all. But, you know, what teams really do in the NFL. Dude, they interviewed two people after 10 years of Garrett. So stupid. Like, not even looking around. Like, they gave Garrett a five-year deal after the first five years, just like that.

And then after that, two people. And Marvin Lewis will always answer the call to cover the Rooney rule. All right? He will. He'll do it. He's got a Rooney phone. He'll fly in. A Rooney phone.

He'll take the interview. And here we are. And that's got a Rooney phone. He'll fly in. A Rooney phone. He'll take the interview. And here we are. And that's, they need someone else. And this is where, real quick, and we'll wrap the Cowboy stuff up. This is where Mike McCarthy does have an interesting bit of leverage. If another team, and I'm not sure that there would be, just like there wasn't last time. There wouldn't be. Like the Jets and the Browns are like, nah, we're good.

We don't even want to bring you in. Literally nobody. Like, no one wanted him. Like, the NFL Network, that puff piece was done by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, who used to cover the Packers and is friends with McCarthy. All of a sudden, Pelissero gets a lot of Cowboy games to cover. Okay? Like, once McCarthy's here.

It's very interesting how it all played out. But then, you kind of look at the other teams in the league who might need a coach. Now, the Bears are probably not going to go there with McCarthy, but the Jets, who have Aaron Rodgers and Devontae Adams. The Saints, who are going to have no cap, but he has coached there before. They have no cap room to do anything because Sean Payton fucked it. All right? So they're done.

But, like, if McCarthy could go to Jerry and be like, well, if you don't give me a contract, I'm going to take the Saints job. He's like, Jerry's going to be like, well, okay, we're going to bring you back, but we're going to hire an offensive coordinator to call plays, and we're going to kind of fix the offense, which Jerry wouldn't know to say, but maybe someone in Jerry's ear would say, this is what we need to do. And then McCarthy will be like, okay, well, I'm not going to do that.

Or is McCarthy going to be like, you know what? I will just stay here and let someone else call the plays. But he ran Kellen's ass out of town. Yes. And Kellen looks really good right now when you have Saquon and the Eagles and all that. But if McCarthy gets another offer and he might, then he can go to Jerry and and give jerry a big middle finger so there's a little bit of weird leverage that he's

getting from a shitty season i'm telling you this has played out pretty nicely for mike mccarthy it's crazy that like i was saying you know half half the season ago where we are right now it was just a given that he was not coming back. And now I think that he's going to be back. And unlike Jasmine, I kind of don't really have a problem with it. One thing that the Cowboys have glaringly lacked this year is depth. That is something that the Mavericks not only have, but something they're going to have to rely upon moving forward

because I haven't seen the most recent reports on Luka, but it sounds like he's going to miss an extended amount of time, non-contact injury to his calf. He's been dealing with those calves, it seems like, off and on for a fiscal year. And we're back at that again. Thankfully, yeah, they do have a lot of depth, but come on. That guy is a MVP caliber player, and he will be missed. Have you read anything on what the MRI said yet?

So we don't know yet. Okay. So MRI today. I knew it was scheduled. But I think a lot of people think it's probably a month or more. Oh, God. So. Yeah.

This makes me crazy. They can tread. They can, without a question, tread. Yeah, they did. You were at the game yesterday, right? I was at the game yesterday. And so, look, it was really bad there. I mean, trailing 30 points.

I mean, it was just an ass kicking. Yeah, they were down by 28. Yeah. And brought that thing to within six within six. Actually. I mean, they closed it within like three at one point. I had had a lot of alcohol there.

The pictures of the stuff in the suite were, um, so having it closed to almost like three or four points at one point. And I was like, okay, we've got this. And then just, you know,

couldn't, couldn't protect the ball. Couldn't play defense for shit. It was crazy. Um, but yeah, but I think out of all the math, like I a insane mffl like insane yeah me too and that's my team and so i've had real irrational anger around some losses i walked out of there going you know what

i'm not mad at this loss because they showed they had balls they They came back without Luca, you know, it was, it really was a tale of two halves after that, you know, and they came within now it was, it was infuriating. We couldn't close it out. But the fact that they said, Hey, you know, this is, this is what we got without Luca was promising to me right now. I'm pissed because we're like neck and neck in the Western conference. Like that win would have tied us at third place, but you know, every little game counts at this point. And so, I don't know, I wasn't pissed at that loss. I really wasn't. It was fun and it gave me hope. You kind of knew, I mean, look, it's near impossible to come back from 28 and every team's got a run in them and the Mavericks had their run. I never, I never thought for a moment that they were going to even tie the game. I had a feeling,

we'll get this thing under 10. You get it under 10, you see what happens. And they got close, but it's near impossible to close the deal on a game like that when you're down that much in the third quarter. But man, they did rally, and they've got a lot of great pieces. I think they're better than they were last year.

The Luka thing is going to sting for a while, but I think depth-wise, they're good enough they were last year um the luca thing is going to sting for a while but i think that depth wise they're good enough to tread water the one thing that does concern me and look he's had some great flashes since he's been back here um and it seems like this is the team that he plays the best for is uh is spencer denwiddie yeah don't ask of him don't ask too much of him oh my god because when he gets that that sense of confidence it's almost like i'm luca yeah no you're not stop stop taking the ill-advised three early in the shot clock just because you're kind of open don't do that don't do that nope move the ball if spencer can buy in that he's not as good as he sometimes thinks he is and becomes part of a ball rotation and sharing the wealth

and not trying to be dumb man, then I think they'll probably be okay. So I know that Jaden Hardy's been banged up a little bit, but I was hoping that when we signed Spencer Dinwiddie, it would be like, okay, so you won't play much. It's like you'll play a game here and there and then sit for two weeks and then you come in back-to-back when Kyrie won't play much. Like, you'll play, you know, a game here and there, and then sit for two weeks, and then you come in back-to-back when Kyrie doesn't play. But Jaden Hardy's been hurt a little bit. Yep.

And I also think Jason Kidd might hate him. And then, like, so if he could play and take over that spot, I would feel way better about it because I would like to see a young player developing these opportunities rather than Spencer Dinwiddie, who we know what he is. And on, you know, any given night, it's kind of cool when he does go off. Oh, my God. But my real concern. It's like one out of ten times, though.

You can tell, like, our tone, though, like Luka getting hurt. And they go back any of the last four or five years. Luka got hurt. Oh, shit. And then. That was me. Now it's like, OK, we can, you know, we can get through this because there's six and two without him, and it's going to get way worse because they're going to lose some games.

My fear, like worst-case scenario through all of this, because there's little things. If he misses a month, you're going to have two against Oklahoma City, two against Denver who could come up, one against Boston, it don't really matter. But I was looking ahead to the next month. It's like, okay, you can still get through that, kind of keep your head above water, but you're probably falling out of the top four in the Western Conference.

It's probably going to happen. And my fear is after a year where you went to the playoffs and played 100 games that we put too much on Kyrie. And then your long-term, you know, look at this year. Are you talking about load management on Kyrie? Yeah, maybe. long-term you know look at this year are you talking about load management on kairi um i yeah maybe the middle aspect of it does not concern me with him at all no no no no no no no but yeah just the physical nature because i was going into this season going okay 82 games in a year we played 100 something last year going to the finals so luca's gonna try to play 65 games just so he can get the

awards right and be eligible to win an mvp and all pro and all that stuff kairi probably the same way but if those guys each play 60 plus games it's 65 that's probably good and then you've kind of the problem with luca because here's what everyone. And as a guy who's a little bit overweight, I will tell you, I am not going to jump to Luca's not in good shape. Luca's conditioning. I'm not doing that. I can't. I'm too fat. Thanks for pre-qualifying that.

Season, playoffs, International Bowl. Get ready for the season training camp season playoffs international ball like yeah your calves are gonna give out yeah like it's a lot of basketball it's non-stop the wear and tear is tremendous so that's five lower body injuries for him since training camp like it was we were playing with this fire already and the way i'm choosing to look at it is maybe it was a christmas gift that he gets hurt now rather than this thing popping and uh you know march well i like that i like that too and as long as you can keep him off of the operating table we obviously you don't know anything until the mri results come back but hopefully if it's a strain or it's something that requires you know uh a mandated rest i'd rather have him

fresh yes at the back half of the season going into the playoffs because he has played i mean making it as far as they did last year and their run you know what how many games did they win in the finals one they won one they won one game Still, that's a long, long-ass season. And as you mentioned, you know, his international ball and whatnot, it's a lot of basketball. And when do you rest? Yeah, you don't. And Euroball is, I mean, that's next level. So you're already dealing with like Euroball intensity.

And he ain't going to not do it. No, he loves it. And they want him and he's a hero like they love it there's too much this is the whole thing i remember cuban getting hot water you know 15 years ago like oh i wish dirk wouldn't play in the olympics it's like well no well no they want him they need him and they love it did dirk ever when did he finally quit doing that you know i don't know or did he ever quit doing that? You know, I don't know. Or did he ever? He did. That's a good research project.

He did. It was probably the last four or five years of his career. I don't think he was doing a lot of Germany basketball. But, I mean, Luke is still super young. Remember when the season got all jacked up because of COVID? Sure. And the bubble and all that. So everything was later, right?

Oh, that's right. So it was a short ramp up to the season. Oh, that was terrible. And I was like, okay, he literally got two weeks off and then they were back and it always goes to his conditioning and i get it like you can tell sometimes you know but like it's going to be a tough body to keep you know but like i don't to me this is just a wear and tear thing i think or maybe he's bad luck but like seeing it happen the way that happened it wasn't some crazy injury it looked like you got stepped on honestly we didn't even know we were like what happened it was like they blew the whistle and we didn't know what

happened and then he just started walking into the tunnel and we're like ah shit that's not good that's not he nearly stepped on a guy yeah that looked just like steve carell i don't notice that the only person I never get worried about when he walks into the tunnel is Danny Gafford. He always comes right back. He's going to be fine. He could be walking into the tunnel with a bone sticking out of his thigh,

and I'd be like, no, he'll be fine. Hammer it back in. He'll be just fine. Speaking of Gafford, what other team in the NBA has the luxury that we have with those two bigs? It's awesome. How many times do you think that you've got a pretty good center and then you got to get him some rest and the guy you bring in is Dwight Powell? Oh, yeah.

That's been our lives for a long time. It has been. And it's so kick-ass that every time that the clock is running that one of those dudes is on the floor, provided that they're healthy. What a freaking luxury. And their styles are so different. Yes. Nico, dude. Nico.

So good. Nico's a god. Nico is a god. Like, everything. Cowboys need football Nico. They do. Football Nico. And they might have him in Will McClay.

He's like, man, maybe I should go somewhere else. I don't blame him. Because I can't be the GM. No. They won't let me. Oh, more money? Cool. Okay, I'll stay. But anyway, yeah, maybe I should go somewhere else. I don't blame him. I can't be the GM. No. They won't let me. Oh, more money? Cool. Okay, I'll stay.

But anyway, yeah, you were saying? Well, remember when Brandon Bass was like our big man? Oh, my God. We were out of, we had to have two. Yeah. And then like Dwight Powell gets to play like every ninth game. Wonderful. This is, they're really good.

Like they were really good. And this stops them from being top four. And it stops everyone from talking about them, which maybe that's a good thing too you know but now it's going to be everyone you know wanking off the thunder and that's fine the thunder are great yeah and it's cool to see if it feels like kind of like how the nfl has for the last 10 plus years have devalued the running back so much and now it's becoming kind of like chic to have a good running back the cowboys you know have struggled with that all season long they've shot themselves in their own foot uh to get where they are with that but it seems kind of like the the nba center may have kind of gone by the wayside with everybody playing

being able to play all five positions, spreading the offense out, the three-pointer becoming such an important integral component of your offense. And now you see in this super modern era, the center's kind of got to have a pretty damn good one, and we kind of have two pretty damn good ones. We've come a long way from Cherokee Park. They haven't broken out yet, and I don't know if it's a real thing or not. What, both of them on the floor?

Well, that'd be fun, too. That might be something they could do against Oklahoma City with their big dude, Hartenstein or whatever. But like, Derek Lively becoming a three-point shooter is absolutely going to happen. We haven't

seen any evidence of it no season but i think it's because clay and like grimes and marshall and just like let's just get the offense going one thing about one thing they're working on that and i know you watch a ton of these games jazz one thing that i've noticed this year talking about our centers is lively being the younger guy seems to be a little more you know wiry and athletic and agile that man will not put the ball on the floor i don't care where he is he refuses to put the ball on the floor where as danny gafford that guy has developed a post game a a post penetration game to where he can he's able now to get the the ball on the high post turn around

make a move and penetrate and work himself into a dunk or a layup or a foul i've seen that happen numerous times that's an element to his game that i've never really seen before and i see gafford is a guy as a guy here's a guy gafford has seems to have a plan and i was texting skin about this the other night i go danny gafford seems seems to have a plan and i was texting skin about this the other night i go danny gafford seems like when he gets the ball he's got an idea of what he wants to do and he's pretty creative and his field goal percentage speaks for itself it's what the best in the nba pretty much year in year out the guy's incredibly efficient around the basket oftentimes you'll see centers or bigs get the ball down low and it's a crap shoot.

Yeah. They're just going to, I'm going to throw, I'm throwing it up there and I, and it should go in cause I'm really close, but they're kind of just counting on the law percentages for their shot to go in where Gafford, he's got a good idea of what he wants to do when he receives the ball, whether it's down low, up high. Um, and I'd like to seeively kind of develop that a little bit or just a turnaround, you know, 8, 9, 10-foot jump shot. He's an NBA baby, though.

He can do it. He just turned 20. No, no, I know. He can do it. He's 26, right. So, like, you see so much damn good raw talent with Lively. And Gafford, I mean, think of that six-year spread, right? So, like, you've kind of

found your your i guess balls if you will um and and that shot i think every time you see lively he kind of looks like yesterday i'm like get the ball like what are you doing where are you like where is your defense right so like i think lively is just trying to find who he is yep he is you know and he's got such a wonderful supportive uh system here with the mavs well he's got a great head too great head incredible incredible smart kid good kid and uh yeah it's it i don't know what the i know lively's here for a while um they've got control i guess i don't know what danny gafford's uh contract sitch is but it would be lovely to keep those two dudes together but g Gafford is going to,

when he becomes free, that motherfucker is getting paid, getting absolutely paid. So I don't know if it'll be here with us next year for $14 million. Well, I don't know if he, I don't know if it's a max deal with him, but expect him.

That's going to go well. That's going to go well above 20. He'll be 28 when he's free and 26 well enjoy it while it lasts because it's pretty special to see those two guys you know uh subbing in and out for each other um one thing uh sports related that i wanted to get to before we have a little bit of fun is i think we all bought into the netflix foray into sports. I don't know if it was their first one, but the big fight, the Tyson fight, Paul fight. And what a complete, utter third trimester abortion that was.

It was so bad. It was a bloody mess. And they did it again last night with the National Football League. Now, did they carry both games or was it just the late game? No, it was both games. Okay. Terrible games. I didn't watch.

The only thing that I happened to catch was the Houston halftime show. I saw Beyonce and a bunch of horses and stuff. But, you know, I guess the main concern for most people after the Tyson fight was will this even be on the air? Yeah. Are they going to be able to stream this properly?

Oh, God, it was so bad. So they said that they, before the Tyson-Paul fight, just did not warn the internet providers ahead of time. Yeah, I never got... And I'm like, I don't know, man. I never got a real viable explanation on what went wrong with the boxing match. Yeah, no. Was it a lot of pass the buck? Not our fault?

Should have? No, I think eventually they kind of came out and said like, yeah, we did not really do all we needed to do ahead of time. No shit. But it's all like coded in language that we don't understand. Sure. I just say we fucked up. Just say it like that. Yeah, but how would you not?

It's so stupid. We're good. You're putting Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, two giant names hyping up this fight. You don't think you would have checked with your engineering? I kind of can't believe that was a big deal. When we do radio remotes,

we do a walkthrough and we're like, is there Wi-Fi for these dickheads to be able to have their laptops running? you know they just they could never imagine globally how many people i guess i don't know how would you not apparently also if this is the thing though if we're going to get off cable and we have largely and we're going full streaming yep and i'm in that boat then you just kind of have to accept some buffering here and there. Now, that was different. That was a colossal mistake. I think it happened once or twice yesterday

for the first game, but not bad. The camera, like, dude, Netflix is, they were on top. They spent a lot of money on this. Oh, it was completely concert production with Beyonce. Oh, it was phenomenal. Beyonce looked phenomenal. Super clear, no buffering issues, sounded good.

I don't know how much money they spent on Beyonce, and I hope that comes out, because they spent $75 million on the first game, $75 million on the second game, $150 million total for two games. The Athletic wrote this morning that a season of Game of Thrones cost $100 million to produce,

which feels low. Yeah, it does. But given all the location shots and things like that, but whatever. Now, everyone that they hired and they had- You mean an entire season of GOT costs that much? That's what the athletic wrote this morning. That seems cheap.

That does seem cheap. So, but, well, football, live, I don't know. So all the people that they had to do the games and the studio crew, and then they had a crew on the field as they always do right so like because you have to have a pre-game show crew in a studio and then have a pre-game show crew on the field now everyone made that was doing that made high five digits or low six digits for one game of work like right they're pretty great like rg3

just walked into that and got 100k to spend christmas day doing two games just saying i think the steelers are gonna throw it what did they do and i i hate asking questions of something that already happened that everybody's seen but what did they do for announcers i thought i heard nancy in the second game is that right so what they did is they did something real smart they did partner with. Okay. So they did in the first game, uh, I in Eagle. Great. With Nate Burleson and JJ Watt. And they,

they did something really smart at the beginning. The strangers thing, the stranger things, little reference they made. Oh, I didn't see that. Well, he made a joke.

Like we're, we're like basically like the old version of stranger things. Like he was trying to like, Oh, the old guy. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

He was trying to do like a ha ha he he to Netflix. And I was like, Oh, okay. I can kind of see that. Yeah. Um, they did, uh, he was like... Oh, the old guy. Yeah, okay. Yeah, he was trying to do like a ha-ha-hee-hee to Netflix, and I was like, oh, okay. I can kind of see that, yeah. They did... He was like, yes, TJ Watt is my brother, and I don't care who wins today, but it's cool to do his game.

And I was like, okay, that's neat. That's fine. And then the next game was Noah Eagle, who is Ian Eagle's son. Really? And Greg Olson. Noah Eagle sounds like Nancy. Yeah. No, he does. Like big time big time he's trying to be that i'm very calm and yes nancy ish we have these announcers like did uh these announcers kids like marv albert's kids collinsworth's son too yeah he's not good though that's the thing

jack's not good no but because his dad isn't. But Kenny Albert sounds like Marv, you know? Yeah. And I would love to get Kenny Albert in a room and just be like, what do you remember about the panties and the Dallas hotel? Surely that came up. Like, at Christmas one year. Did you know about your dad's proclivity for such a odd fetish? Or is this all a surprise to you as it was to the rest of the world? That's a top 10 dallas story that i think people forget about no oh god no marv albert

no i remember that clearly um but it was cool and the beyonce thing i thought was great i thought it was like first of all if netflix is doing this like okay they're taking over they're taking over next year it's like i'll be on a thursday yeah, Friday. I think then that Christmas comes on a Monday, weirdly. And then LeBron James last night, cause you know, the NBA has their five Christmas day games. And he was like,

I'm a huge fan of the NFL, but Christmas day is always our day. And I'm like, man, I love the NBA too, buddy. But, uh,

football's, they're, they're here to cook you. Yeah. They're just coming to take it. There nothing you can do the beyonce thing so what we saw last night was produced by beyonce's parkwood entertainment and jesse collins entertainment and it was reportedly part of a 60 million dollar three project deal that was inked between beyonce and netflix back in 2019 there we go so this was kind of a hey we're we're going to- Fulfilling the obligation. Fulfilling the obligation.

So it wasn't Netflix that produced that, that cinematic. I mean, it was amazing. Danny, go watch it. I did watch. That was the one thing that I got to see was- They're posting it as a standalone thing now. Oh, it was incredible. It was long.

It was long. Yeah. It was as long as a Super Bowl halftime show. It was like 16 or 17. I love too that they were like, we don't need to throw it to guys in the studio talking about the Ravens getting that ass today. Here's Beyonce. Right. It was like 16 or 17. I love too that they were like, we don't need to throw it to guys in the studio talking about the Ravens getting that ass today.

Here's Beyonce. Right. That was it. Yeah. And I, it was really good. Now I also, I stumbled into something.

I follow a couple of accounts that like, they like, you know, like celebrity gossip accounts, but sometimes they hit on stuff. So as a bit, I was like,

man, I just saw someone who posted like some things that were going to happen in the show. So I tweeted out here's my predictions for i just copied this account that i saw it's like i think shibuzi and post malone are going to be there i think she's going to show up on a horse shut up then somehow on that stupid fucking website i broke the algorithm and i've got all these be fans. You're kidding me. The Bayhive is pissed? No, no, no.

They were happy. They were like, here's a couple things. Here's a couple comments. Ho, is you magical? Whoa, whoa, whoa. From your personal account? Yeah, from my personal account. Are you trending?

Oh, I was trending for a minute. Uh-huh. Because I took someone else's thing of their, like, they saw, well, here's what's going to be on the show. So you're just copying and pasting these people. Oh, well, here's what's going to be on the show. So you're just copying and pasting these people. Oh, well, I put it in my own words, you know. Beyonce Nostradamus over here. I just put she rides in on a horse

and Shabuzy and Post Malone show up because I kind of knew that was going to happen, right? And then I get all these wild comments about ho, is you magical? Calling you, like, ho, is you magical? Yeah, ho, is you magical? I'm going to start greeting you like that um and it was wild because i'm like none of these people fucking follow me like they're they're all beyonce fans you never know what if kevin turner has a huge beyonce fan sec to his fan base well they probably just yeah they searched keywords and your tweet

came up right did you get a bunch of followers out of it? I don't know if I got a bunch of followers. I don't really count those. I don't really know anymore. But it was just like kind of funny. Are you a god? And I'm like, no, I actually saw. I'm from Alney. I saw another account.

I don't. Yeah. But yeah. So yes, Ho is magical. You're like heralded by the Bayhive. Hell yeah. Do you understand how huge that is? Well, that's why Patrick Mahomes is the Beyonce of the NFL.

Taylor is going to be Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. I've got a whole celebrity quarterback, pop star quarterback rankings thing I'm working on. I think Dak is Katy Perry now, and her new album sucked. Yeah, that's true. It was terrible. There you go. It's not fire.

It's not fire. Do you want to do some news? Oh, yeah. Go ahead. terrible but there you go it's not fire it's not fire do you want to do some news well yeah go ahead you want to do news and then uh the the the thing that we were gonna do the the things that we might have forgotten about let's do that let's do that because you mentioned the marv albert uh when he wore the wig and panties you know a lot of people have forgotten about that 1997 that's right in the year 2024 kevin yes i'm hearing from you that there are probably a lot of things that we have forgotten about that happened in this year as we

end the end of the year boy everybody does this the year-end list the best ofs your spotify wrapped all that crap mainly i think it's a reason it's an excuse for media outlets and newsmakers to just kind of take a fucking break. Filler. Yep, just filler. Here's a list, and Kevin's got a list, and you're no exception. You're mailing it in, too, with your list. If I don't have to cover the murder or the guy who crashed into a tree, let's just look back at some Potter from the year. No, when Mike and Danny and i uh mike saroy for those um

have you guys met saroy you've never heard of him uh when mike and danny and and i did a show um i i did this and it ended up going for like three or four days like it because we ended up having fun with it i didn't know how it would go so i did it anyways just in case well you've got like 20 minutes so you can do this maybe we'll get january through june and maybe tomorrow we'll love it we will start out january 5th 2024 oh god think back yeah the door plug on a boeing 737 fell off an american an alaskan airlines flight okay so you remember the thing that shot off and they're in the they're in midair and then uh i think a guy's shirt was ripped off yes is that the baby that almost somebody grabbed a baby or is that different i yeah that that might be uh another account to that old wives tale i mean by the way like are people just making people are just making shit

up now like the new jersey drones they've now are like they're like it's really nothing i think like a few people said some stuff and it got loud yeah oh they're everywhere though very much like eating the dog yeah no they're everywhere though but is it just planes i think i think they've determined that it's just it's just planes like there's a lot of planes that fly over that area a lot like it's it's... A couple of major airports, I don't know, somewhere near there, right? I mean, one of my really good friends is, like, big-time UFO guy. And after a couple weeks, I've had to ask him,

like, dude, do you ever get tired of all this stuff you're telling me is going to happen, like, not happening? Well, they don't want a piece of this. The aliens don't want... Have you seen our Earth? They don't want a piece of this. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it just depends where they came where they came from you know i mean it could be nice compared to what they got really yeah every day is the movie idiocracy and you know it it is wild that this is the only earth

that the only planet and the only earth but it's the only planet that has water on it that we know of and we just kind of treat it like a toilet like i mean, I'm not like, trust me, I'm not like changing the world. Like I try to recycle, but you know. Ho, is you magical? I'm not that magical to fix the climate, but it is very funny. Like every year, like here's the debates. Here are the three things.

Immigration, economy. I'm like, what about the whole thing that we're living in and not taking care of that? Shouldn't that be number one? I think that we'll be extinct before we taking care of that shouldn't that be number one i think that will be extinct before we ever get to that being a concern i hope god i hope but i want malke's world to be wonderful sure and you know i don't know i am starting to feel like it's a little bit irresponsible well you're doing your part you you you you broke down your amazon boxes and put them

in the blue bin i mean what more can what more can a man do so january 5th the door flew off the plane and it seems like back then every day there was a freaking plane story every single day that we were reporting on on disasters in the sky wonderful oh it was so good oh and then the guy like a week later i was like takes a photo he's like oh these bolts aren't tight tight right wing like on the wing this guy doesn't know anything about making airplanes but he posted the thing um january 5th danny a naked alabama man jumped into the tank at the bass pro shop oh was that this year you remember that no that was this year yes now what do y'all remember about his penis very small he had the smallest penis it was so

small oh shit that was oh yeah he wasn't in he wasn't the most fit man right even though he was not yeah uh no no shockingly he was not yeah yeah i don't know why i don't know why that would matter but yeah when you think alabama man jumps into Bass Pro Shop Tank, you're not thinking it's like a ripped. No, never that guy. He's not built like John Cena. It's never that guy. Also, January 7th, this is at Golden Globes. So they had Joe Coy host the show, the comedian Joe Coy, and he bombed.

And it was very embarrassing. It was bad. It was so bad. So that's coming up in January, the Globes? Yeah. Is Nikki Glaser hosting it? I have not heard. I think she's following Taylor Swift everywhere.

She has spent a lot of money on Taylor. She's spent like over $100,000 just following Taylor Swift all over the place. Yeah, the Globes are January 5th, I see on my little TV map. I don't think they've named a host yet, but I could be wrong. And I hate that I know this. I think the Taylor Swift Arrows Tour is over. It is Nikki. Okay.

Says Nikki Glaser, Emmy-nominated stand-up comic will host the 2025 Golden Globes. I swore I saw that this morning. She's going to roast everybody. She's actually up for a Golden Globe this year. For her stand-up special. Yeah. Every time I've tried to watch her stand-up, it's just different because she's just not roasting everyone.

Oh, I love her roast. It's different. I don't watch her normal stuff. I just like the roast. Okay, look. I'm not saying she's going to be as offensive and piss everybody off like Ricky Gervais did, but this is an adjacent move.

Absolutely. And I guarantee you, the elites that are going to be sitting in those chairs are fucking nervous. They should be. Well, yeah. Because she is going to eviscerate them. Good. Come and get it.

Yeah. I'm just waiting for the ditty list. Maybe all these, you know, everything always comes back to all that ditty list. So, like, I'm thinking ditty list while you're saying this. Like, all these elites sitting in the front row. This is going to be stopped on TV, man. It's a good time for the people who don't get offended easy. Right now, if you can wear that, it's really good. If you're a person that gets offended, you look like a total douche canoe.

Like, you cannot get offended right now in the culture where we are. Like, this is amazing how it shifts back and forth all the time. offended it right now in culture where we are like this amazing how it shifts back and forth all the time such a difference between uh keanu reeves and tom cruise yeah okay so you know how there's sports hot where you'll like see an athlete like a chick athlete and you're like she's not like street hot but sports hot yeah so is nikki glazer like comic hot i think she's a cute girl regardless yeah i i mean look look I don't even qualify it that way like if you just saw her walking down the street you'd you'd double take oh she's because she's real tall and angular and got the blonde hair and yeah she's great smile yeah uh yeah I guess

I would say if you saw her at Target yeah I mean I've seen we had her back on the this is back when I was on the fan i think we had her in studio and she was just like sweatpants brought her dog like she was not ready to go do the show and you're still like okay she's cute like you know yeah but it wasn't like you know i don't know but yeah yeah i would say yes yeah see i would think so too like i wouldn't i wouldn't double take on the you know whatever if she's. But I'm like, you're really comic hot. She also makes a lot of jokes about her love life being real bad. And I'm like, I don't know.

I bet you're probably getting it. She's doing fine. You know what? She's doing as fine as she wants to. Yeah. So I think she lives with her parents part of the year. Like to save money, I think. She spends it all.

That's a good plan. She's got an apartment. You can pull it off. She's like, I live with my parents in Nebraska. How old is she? 40. I hate when broads are younger than me. So in that Golden Globes from January 7th, Oppenheimer won for best film.

You're over 40? Thanks, Danny. Really? I'll take that. Gross. Back to you, Kevin. Not eligible. I love you.

Oppenheimer won best dramatic film poor things won best comedy film because they do too it's weird killian murphy best actor lily gladstone best actress do you remember the movie killers of the flower moon i still have not seen it um i threw it on while putting together some like you know Ikea furniture type you know real focused you know it's not as long when you're doing something else well yeah and I'm one of those people that'll see a movie that's 245

and go it's too fucking long but I will binge over a day and a half a 10 episode espionage thriller on Peacock I am like you Joey can't wrap his brain around it because he likes movies like inception and i'm like that's like i look at it i'm like absolutely not but then i'll binge the entire first series of landman sure it's like seven hours it's very contradictory

it's just the fact that you get a break yeah you can get up and stretch your butt out a little bit yeah if you're watching a movie you don't want to get up no i'm camped um so yeah there was other um oh yeah oh yeah succession won best drama the bear best comedy best limited series went to beef watch i did finish beef did it finish okay you know what's funny is uh yeah it actually wasn't wasn't as bad as i watched like three or four episodes and i bailed and thought this is too repetitive i know know where this is going but it does okay end up taking uh unexpected twist near the end of the series and it turned out to be pretty enjoyable i like okay i'm ready for beef too they're getting

more beef i don't know maybe more beef extra beef uh january 8th we had an explosion at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Fort Worth oh wow that was a year ago barely remember that and that's why we do this blew out the whole facade of that thing originated in the kitchen I believe kitchen yeah January 10th

this is a 24 hour tornado of coaching news Nick Saban retired, Pete Carroll got fired and Bill Belich Carroll got fired, and Bill Belichick got fired by the Patriots on the same day. I remember that day. Joey's a raging Seahawks fan, so it was a fun day in my house. Pete Carroll's trying to get the Bears job. Come on back, Pete. It would be it.

This poor kid that Mike McDonald. Dark horse Cowboys candidate. Pete Carroll? Yes. Oh, I would. But I don't know. I wouldn't. I would. Over Mike McCarthy? Abso-fucking-lutely. Pete Carroll? Yes. Oh, I would. I thought, but he, I don't know. Is he going to be? I wouldn't, but. I would.

Over Mike McCarthy, abso-fucking-lutely. He's so old. Pete Carroll's so old. So was Marv Levy. That's true. That's true. Pete Carroll's not 80 yet, is he? Yeah, he's about.

He's 72, I think. Yeah, I think he's. I miss his gum chewing. What's McCarthy, 58? I think he's 60 now. Pete Carroll's 73. Okay. Okay. And Mike is what? He'll be 74 this year. What's McCarthy? 58? I think he's 60 now. Pete Carroll's 73. And Mike is what? He'll be 74 this year. What's Mike?

You said 58? Yeah, but I'll look 40. He's 61. Okay. Handsome man. January 14th, Packers 48, Cowboys 32 in the wild card round. Packers jumped out to a 27-0 lead in that

game. That's why Dan Quinn's not the coach. I think he's doing well. If that's a 17-10 game, Dan Quinn's the coach. That does take you back, doesn't it? It sure does. It reminds me, was it the

92-93, 94 NFC championship for the Cowboys? 49ers? Cowboys 49ers where they got down like three touchdowns really early on and just tried to surmount that comeback and it didn't work out. That reminded me of that game a little bit. That was bad.

I would try like before the season, my buddy John Machoda, I mentioned earlier, he was like, before you go pick the Cowboys to go in a bunch of games just watch that game no just watch that game before the season the Green Bay game and I was like okay so I did it and fast forward through it and whatever I was like oh my god that was the worst thing terrible like first drive Dak and CD fighting like what why is this happening like it's like well first drive the Packers take it out and score and then the Cowboys don't get a first down and Daggett CeeDee are fighting and

I'm like why were they all it was seven nothing like it tracks calm down what happened come on tracks then January 18th uh I have a little a piece of audio for this one Jerry announces that the Cowboys are going to keep Mike McCarthy for his fifth and final year of the contract. And Mike McCarthy hears that at his press conference, he is asking, you know, why should fans believe in you? I came here to win a championship. I didn't come here to get another contract or anything other than that.

I came to Dallas to win the world championship, and that's why I'm standing here and buy into us. Yep, buy into us yep buy into us yeah everyone you guys get your season ticket hell yeah get your season tickets because we're gonna come out hot as they get smoked don't win a home game first two months of the year getting beat by 30 something like i don't know what to tell you. Imagine paying that much fucking money. I think McCarthy's probably a great guy. He could do so better. You know what?

I want him to be my grandpa, not my football coach. Let's move on. January 23rd, Messi comes to the Cotton Bowl. Remember that was a big story? Oh, my God. Dude, that was huge. It was pretty huge. But what's not huge is apparently the stature of Messi.

Let's go to WFAA for Pete Delkus. Question. Yeah. How tall do y'all think Lionel Messi is? He's like 5'3". He's a midget. Oh, Lord. He's not very tall, though.

He's a small guy. Chris got it right. 5'6"? 5'6". 5'7". 5'7"? He's not very tall, though. He's a small guy. Chris got it right. 5'6"? 5'6". He's 5'7". 5'7"? Yeah. He's diminutive.

I love it. And it's like, good Lord, Pete. Don't say midget. Delkus. Delkus doesn't give a fuck, man. That's on the list of words you can't say. And would you when you've made $7 million a year? He's making $7 million a year?

No. I bet he's making a million. But when Hanson retired, surely he got some of that. Oh, some of the freed up salary? I would imagine. It's a media company. Are you kidding me? Although we've learned it's not really how it works.

No. Not really. Chop that salary. Yep. Look at all the money that's going to be left it works. Not really. Chop that salary. Yep. Look at all the money that's going to be left for everybody else. Oh, no. Hey, Pete, want to do sports too? Yeah, right.

And I've been reading it. And Jay Moore's talking about how there's no rules at SNL. Like it's just people just in there, they're all day and people just go, but Rob Schneider was crazy and would order sushi every day every single day and one day Rob Schneider goes look it's a worm and he like threw it out but he's like the next day he would still eat sushi like every day so he's like but the tales like the uh the Rob Schneider's conspiracy theorist

or whatever go back to Jay Moore's era of snl because he's reading all this stuff he's like rob schnider's at the weirdest motherfucker ever yeah back in the 90s come out of nowhere like that's ready to come out i guess yeah i guess yeah i don't know he's way like he's down the rabbit hole uh january 26th lucas scores 73 against the hawks oh my gosh happy mri day yes oh god what did kobe? 80? 81. 81? 81.

January 29th, Neuralink announces it has implanted its brain computer interface in a human brain for the first time. I'm out. So this guy was like playing video games with his head.

He wasn't doing anything. He couldn't move. That was just like a torso. And he's got the thing implanted. And he was able to communicate stuff. But then I think, I don't remember how that ended. Is that guy still with us? I don't know.

I don't have an update on that. I didn't check because I didn't think we'd spend't have an update on that. I didn't check because, you know, I didn't think we'd spend a lot of time on it. So there you go. February 4th. We're going to get through March today. You think? We're going to get through March.

Okay. I'll make sure we get through March. Well, that gives us, you know, that's four quarters. He's still alive, by the way. He is. You're a link man? You're a link dude. Yep.

Hell yeah. Is he banging yet? Did they get him? It says his performance has improved so you tell me uh february 5th danny jasmine too this is this is gonna be big for both of you toby keith dead at the age of 62 oh that was a big one boy people loved them some toby keith didn't they yeah also that was the grammys taylor swift won album of the year miley won record of the year for flowers that's a good song um early in that night taylor announces her next album and then later what is

it the tortured poet society yeah tortured poets department it's a snoozer of an album but it's all about her uh her real true love maddie healy of the 1975 uh and then later in the night jay-z goes on a rant about how beyonce has never won best album oh pretty tense because yeah coming up at this year's grammys yeah which i i think it's good like i don't think taylor or beyonce is going to win yeah so jay-z can just use the same speech from last year yeah honestly yes yeah unless they give it to beyonce because of that speech if she wins for cowboy carter but i don't think she's going to i think that and i don't think taylor's gonna win either

don't you think that album just got it just wasn't received well no publicly or by radio i know she really wanted to break into the i mean the song the country music format right and they just didn't embrace her at all pop radio did but yeah yeah this ain't country well. We listened to it and it's got some good shit on it. There's some really good stuff on it. And it's got some stuff on there that's like, what? I just don't think it's radio friendly. I think it's cool for like an indie project. Yeah, like a vanity project, art project, for sure.
