Speaker 2 (00:07):
Be oh, light the beam on another one of these things,
another one of these programs. Welcome into the Sports Cave
with Biggest Puma. I am your host, Sam Freeze, broadcasting
once again here on the north side of San Antonio,

(00:29):
where not only do we find ourselves fourteen days away
from the NBA Draft, exactly two weeks from tonight. LG,
You'll also be happy. You'll be happy to know it
is National Corn on the Cobb Day. I hope, I
hope you celebrated appropriately. I know we've been having fun
with the We were talking about some of the PR

(00:51):
holidays that are a bit ridiculous, as well as.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The month long observances.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Last episode, I thought maybe we would do a little
I thought maybe if they're you know, if it's an
important day like National Corn on the Cob Day, I
thought we would make sure to mention it.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Mention not a fan, tell you the truth, not a
fan of corn on the cub I'm the kind of
guy that takes it and takes a knife and cuts
the corns off the cob.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, so corn isn't the problem, it's the it's the cob.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
No, I'm not a fan of corn either. I like
corn bread, but like just I don't like seeing it
on the way out. Yeah, it doesn't digest.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, Yeah, look, I'll say this every about every every
time I end up maybe having, you know, closing down
a local beverage establishment and you know it's two in
the morning and Tacos El Reggio still delivers.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I end up eating corn in a cup at three am.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's my exception right there.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I can get down on yeah that, but it always
the next day, it always startles me. Like you said,
it's like, oh, I forgot we ordered uh ordered tacos.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Especially if you get like the poor one with the
crushed up hot Cheetos on the top.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh yeah, No, now you're just getting uh now, you're
just getting unnecessarily fancy or actually necessarily fancy, if you
haven't noticed. We are down a man tonight. Pour one
out for the cap. He is fighting hemorrhoids like nothing
else hemorrhoids from hell now he Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
I was worried because.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
He told me he's got some kind of like cold
or you know, nasally uh situation going. So I was
worried it might end up working its way through all
of us here.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'm glad he bout out then, Yeah, I would.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Much rather have.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's one of those deals where I think millennials catch
a lot of hell for you know, being soft or
not having good work ethic. And it's it's like, okay,
like you might have some good points over archingly, but
if you're sick, don't come to work.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Don't go to work, like I know, we don't want
to be around through it, and don't do it.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Don't do it just to protect your your work ethic
or to show that you're a hard ass.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Exactly, be sick, just be home and convalesce.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, it was so bad.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I got a call from Cap about noon this afternoon
as I was out running around town.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
We'll talk about that here in a minute.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
But I got a call from him, and I know,
you know, the three of us all communicate about the
same it's if it's a call, it's something.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
That is probably important.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
And so when I saw you know, I felt the
phone vibrate and I looked down and I saw you
know Cap, I thought, oh, hell, here we go, this
is now, It's now, it's time to really you know,
I normally over prepare, per usual, but tonight it was
uh into into hyper mode to try to get a

(04:00):
show together here. So thoughts, thoughts and prayers, mostly thoughts
for Cap as he is under the weather tonight. But
as you can already guess, I do have LG LG.
Tell the good people how they can help us out here,
how they can subscribe, how they can help the show grow.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Sure you can hit that like button and the subscribe button,
because that's gonna help us grow. We're aiming for five
hundred is our sub goal. One thousand is our main
goal right now in the short term. If you'd like
to leave a tip, we need some new microphones. Captain
does not like wearing these headsets now, so.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
He's got a whole he's got a whole tight fifteen
minute of bitching.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, he does not like wearing these headsets. So if
you want to leave a tip to help support this program,
you can at buy me a coffee dot com, slash
sports Cave.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Live, Yes and is the address.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Should always remind the good folks that the YouTube subscriptions
are absolutely free.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's great, have a YouTube.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Account, even if you again, I understand it's not the
most visually appealing program when you have to look at
my long haired redneck mug for two.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Hours, especially now that I'm on screen.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
So yeah, well, you know, I'm not sure that cap
was the one that was making us look better. I
think it we're we're the ugly girlfriend, that's correct. Yeah,
we're all kind of in the same boat here. So
YouTube subscriptions absolutely free. If you have an account, go
give us a subby there. And those audio numbers are

(05:36):
still surprisingly continuing to grow. I shouldn't say surprising. It's
a little too self deprecating, but as always I appreciate
y'all supporting the program in whatever ways, and for y'all
out there that support in all the available ways.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
That audio is on all the platforms, right, yeah, iHeart Spotify, Apple.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Everywhere, ye as I hearts has trained me.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Anywhere you get your podcasts, we prefer the ia.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
You don't want to name the competition, that's right.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, anywhere you get your podcast we prefer you use
the iHeart app. Also, I should say I don't give
enough love. Still doing the Daily Bama Brown podcast with
him as well, so and those are also available wherever
you get your podcasts. Those are a little short, fifteen
twenty minute episodes. Bama is an absolute hell of a character.

(06:34):
He's always got something he's going off on. So those
are out there as well. Appreciate again all of the
ways you all support us. We're going to talk some
Cowboys in the main segment. I think that's why. I
think that's why Cap is sick now that I think
about it, because you remember Monday I said we were
going to talk Cowboys main segment.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's all starting to come together now.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'm realizing, I'm realizing what is actually happening.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Though a little early to talk cowboy It's only it's
only June eleven.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, you know, and I don't disagree because I know,
despite hitting the summer months here, and and you know
NBA Finals Game three taking place right now, Stanley Cup Finals.
You know, once those are both over, it's nothing but
baseball and the NBA Draft till till the fall, till

(07:24):
football season. So not trying to rush into football talk.
But the Cowboys did have they opened mandatory OTAs this week,
so we do actually have some Cowboys news to talk
about as well. I don't think we've talked enough about

(07:46):
the new head coach of your Dallas Cowboys, Shoddy Schottenheimer,
and I think his he's kind of flying under the radar.
And as much as we have bagged on other coaches,
you know, we played the Siriani audio a couple of
weeks ago of the Eagles coach when he first got hired.

(08:07):
Of course, we've always we have fun with the Dan
Campbell audio, the Biden kneecap off that was from his
introductory press conference. Well, Shody is starting to really get
comfortable behind the mic, and I think we're gonna end
up playing more Schottenheimer audio throughout the summer because he
is telling I'll tease it with this. We don't have

(08:30):
the audio of this one, but a story he told
earlier this week. He was his senior year at the
University of Florida. He opened the year as the backup quarterback,
but by halfway through the season he had already been
demoted to third string. So it's old the old ball coach.
Steve Spurrier was the coach at Florida still at the time,

(08:50):
and they're all over having a Thanksgiving dinner at Spurrier's house,
at the coach's house, coach's wife.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Cooking for the whole team. And you know, playing you know,
for them.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Thanksgiving was always Florida State rivalry week, similar to Texas,
tex A and m Thanksgiving Week. So they're all over
there having dinner and shot he told the story that
you know, he goes around, He's asking for everybody's drink orders.
He asked first string quarterback Danny Warfol what he wants
to drink for with dinner. He asked the backup, who

(09:27):
is the backup, A Doug, Doug Johnson or Dug something.
I can't remember it, but anyway, ask him what he
wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And then he gets to Shoty and he goes, Shoty,
you your third string, it doesn't matter, you want a beer,
and so shot I ever said he ended up killing
two Coors Heavy with Coach Spurrier at Thanksgiving dinner his
his last year there at Florida because he was and
it went on.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
He didn't he didn't play in the game, so the
beer wasn't a big deal. So we're getting stories like
that from But I think more of the actual x's
and o's in him talking about how he's trying to
develop the Cowboys as the as the leader of the
at least well not leader of the organization, but at

(10:16):
least leader of the so called leader of the team,
even though the pressure of the Jones family is never
going to allow him to call the shots. At least
he is starting to be a little more detailed about
what he's actually trying to build. So we're gonna got

(10:37):
some audio of him talking about that. We've got Micah Parsons,
who is about two weeks too late on a TikTok trend,
which is he's also Mike is also dealing with something.
I think, at least I'll speak for myself, Mike is
dealing with a little hairline issues and so I sympathize

(11:00):
with him on that. So we got that audio as well.
And then the Cowboys actually have an upcoming documentary coming
out on Netflix in August, and we'll hit on that
a little bit. Of course, we'll close out with the
Lightning Round a bunch a bunch of Lightning round quick
kitters to get to and then I teased it Monday,

(11:21):
and we're actually going to get to it now, especially
since it's just you and I LG. We have because
I think you and I love this audio, like I
know Cap enjoys it, but I I think there's a
different level of appreciation for this Charles Ramsey, it's one
of the best.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, it's one of the best. Man on the street
like interviews after something happens.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's audio from twenty thirteen. But it'll make
a lot more sense once we get there. But as always,
we start with what I watched last night, and you know,
I know, well, speaking of this summer, we're uh, it's
not just gonna be all baseball because we actually have

(12:06):
meaningful soccer being played this summer, and the US men's
national team does not look.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Friendlies are meaningful.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well they have Well, so the friendly last night will
start with it because the US men lose their fourth
game in a row. Now, they lost to Turkey or
how do you pronounce it, nott turkey A. I think
that's how Air Dowan wants it pronounced.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I think it's still Turkey.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's Turkey because all of the all of the TBS
commentators were working really hard to make sure they got
it right, and you could hear it took them like
two and a half seconds to pronounce it every time
it was Turkey. A.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know, like you're like you're a kid learning English. Okay, Yeah,
so it's still Turkey to me, it's still Turkey to you,
it's it's still uh, it's.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Still whatever Airdwan wants it to be to me, because
I would intend on eventually. I want to see is Stanbul,
like I want, well, your World Traveler, have you ever
been to Turkey?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
No? I wish. Yeah, I'd love to go to Constancetinople.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
There you go, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
You're just gonna this is going to be the anti
air Dowan episode.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, I want to hit that Turkey Morocco. I want
to hit that little oh big time.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
And if Burrows is to believe the drugs as well,
quite uh.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
He wrote what was that that he wrote in Tangier?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
He wrote one of the books about Oh Junkie Junkie
to Tangier. So oh okay, yeah, I see, well, see
there's another one on my list I want to get to. Yeah,
it's kind of no surprise. I think that there might
be why it's on my list.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Really well, it's the only place where I've been like threatened,
like by people who claim to be Isis. Well they
obviously weren't. They were just tour guides that didn't get hired.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Sure, but yeah, and so they found there they found
their opportunity to pose as an intimidating force.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well, the US lose to Turkey, and we'll go with Turkey.
And then last night the Turkey game was a two
to one loss. Last night was an utter embarrassment. It
was the final score was four to nothing. But it's
even worse when you realize Switzerland scored four goals in
the first half and it was really it was like

(14:39):
three goals in twenty seven minutes or something like that.
So I mean, it was it was just a blitz
that that was a disgraceful performance. Clearly showed the you know,
the lines of uh where the US is currently with
this group. And there's a lot of politics with this
group right now. Obviously they've been framed as a Golden generation,

(15:06):
but have underachieved every opportunity they've gotten, including missing the
World Cup in twenty eighteen, which should have been this
generation's first experience at the World Cup. And I mentioned,
you know, they've now lost four games in a row.
Hadn't done that since two thousand and seven, so times
are pretty rough, I should say, though, you know, their

(15:29):
top end talent is not you know, pulistic has taken
the summer off, which is causing a lot of consternation
amongst the former players that are now in the media.
Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey had some sharp critique, some
sharp words for Pulistic, which is ironic because Donovan is
known for taking his own multiple sabbaticals in his career

(15:53):
and falling in and out of love with the game
of soccer. So they're missing Polistic this summer. They also
I got some guys that are recovering. Virginio dust recovering
from a major injury.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
He's not with the group. Some other guys.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Now, Tyler Adams is a little gimpy, and I missed
this game yesterday. So uh, they've got it's not a
full first team selection. Uh, but it's pretty close. And
to get embarrassed. You know, Switzerland's good, but they're not.
Switzerland's not a upper elite European team obviously when you

(16:30):
think of you know your France, England, Italy, uh, Spain, Portugal, Belgium,
you know Germany, they're they're a decent gap behind those,
and still we're able to absolutely embarrass the kind of.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I would call it.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's like it's like so if you call you know,
if you have an A team or a B team.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's it's like that a one half team.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's like it's it's a it's some first team selections,
but mostly guys that are you know, hoping to make
a good impression to potentially have a chance to make
the World Cup team next year. But you said it there,
you know, are friendlies meaningful soccer? No, So all that
being said about how bad last night was, it was

(17:17):
just a friendly and it was you know, featuring some
guys that probably are at best on the fringes of
actually being considered for a consistent roster spot. So the
friendly last night, as bad as it was, is not

(17:38):
nearly as much of a red flag as what the
rest of the summer could turn into, because they do
have meaningful soccer.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
It's the Gold Cup.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
And this is where soccer has so many, so many
competitions that it's hard at times to kind of keep
track of which ones actually matter or which ones even
feature first choice teams. The Gold Cup is being held
as a you know, I shouldn't say tryout, but it's it's, uh,

(18:15):
you know, it's the US national team trying to figure
out what their team's going to look like next summer
when we host the World Cup. So this Gold Cup
is pretty important, and more so at this point, it
just feels like it's important for the actual morale of
the team. I mean, Poachettino brought in with high, high

(18:35):
hopes and you know, really good pedigree in the club game.
But this is his first job at the international level.
And you know, right now I would say it maybe
pets heads aren't falling off, but it's we're getting pretty
close to that, especially with the weight of the expectations

(18:58):
and hosting the World Cup next year, which first of all,
then like the way things are going around here these days,
that that World Cup next year could be fun?

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Is that one year from today?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yes, I believe it's like on the exact date, one year.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, yeah, I well, and not only that, also the
summer Olympics, oh yeah, following that in La So okay, yeah,
it's it's a it's a great time for us to
be on the internet, have the international spotlight on us
as global travelers try to make it in and out

(19:42):
of our customs.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
It should should be fine, should be fun.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Now the World Cup is like multiple cities, correct.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, And it's actually this one is uh split between US,
Canada and Mexico.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Oh, I got you. So it's a North America World.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's a North America World Cup.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I should phrase it like that, which is again even
more ironic because the Canadian Canadian MP today was coming
out and saying that we are no longer allies Canada
and the US. So all of the geopolitics, aside all
of the you know, visa and travel potential issues, I'm

(20:23):
still excited for it because it is a World Cup,
and it is I think it's basically like a I
think it's like Canada gets a quarter of the games,
Mexico gets a quarter of the games, and we get half.
So we're still the predominant host and we'll have all
of the semi finals and finals in the US as well.

(20:46):
But it should it's serving this summer is going to
show because not only we have the Gold Cup, we
also have the Club World Cup. It's the first inaugural
edition of it, so it's think of I think of
the World Cup, but with professional clubs from all around

(21:06):
the world, so instead of it being the international teams,
it's pro teams from each of the countries.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
So it's like the LA Galaxy.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I believe either they either them or LAFC. One of
the LA teams is in it Inner Miami with Messi's
in Seattle's in it, and then I man, they're gonna
like PSG is in.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
It, Chelsea's in it.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
You know, like the the European teams are potentially just
going to absolutely you know, run over our poor MLS contingent,
but it'll be interesting to see it. Every time one
of these club competitions is held, a usually a team
from Brazil or Argentina does really well because you know,

(21:54):
a lot of those European leagues are poaching players from
the South American leagues. So if you know, if one
of those Brazilian teams still has uh, you know, young
talent that hasn't been sold to Europe yet, they usually
make a good run in it. But uh, I'm I'm
still cautiously optimistic about the final result of of Pochettino

(22:20):
as a national team manager because I still think, you know,
grading him off of last night isn't entirely fair. And
you know, the Gold Cup is it's a it's a
it's a run up. It's important, but at the end
of the day, Pochattino was hired to get the US

(22:41):
for further in the World Cup than they've ever been,
so it feels like he still has still has next
summer to really prove himself. But if they you know
that it's it's soccer. I mean, if he has a
if they have a terrible Gold Cup, he could get fired, uh.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know, this summer and then they're scrambling.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I don't expect that to happen because they invested so
much money, but I.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Will see not.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Dark clouds to put it lightly around our national team
right now and then elsewhere. I was flipping back and
forth between the soccer and my Rangers have actually won
two games in.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
A row now, believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
And more importantly, they've scored It was sixteen last night,
it was eight or nine. I think they've scored twenty
five runs in these last two games. After being one
of the worst offenses in all of baseball so far
this season, they have at least the last two games struck,

(23:50):
which also makes me nervous because let's save some of
those runs for the rest of the series. But they
absolutely put it on the Twins last night, and I
was mentioning it I think I said it Monday. You know,
the Rangers upcoming schedule and the way the MLB standings
sit right now, it's it's really not out of uh

(24:15):
you know, not out of the question that they can
if they can have a good month, month and a
half here, uh be right back in a buyer's mentality
instead of potentially looking to sell off some veterans because
uh there for there. For a couple of weeks it
looked like we might be headed for a fire sill
at the trade deadline. But uh, signs of life, at

(24:39):
least for the Rangers offense. Evan Carter had it's now
back to back games with a home run for him
after coming back from the injuries and and you know,
actually starting the year in the minor leagues to work
on some stuff. He is starting to really solidify his
spot in Is that captain? It's captain in the chat

(25:01):
talking Yankees. Oh that's spectacular.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
He's too sick, he's too sick to sit across from me.
But he's gonna sit here and critique the whole two hours.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Well lest the least he can do is you know,
entertain the chat.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, I guess that is still uh I guess that
still does count at some level of contribution, some level
of attendance. It reminds I'll tell you, this reminds me
of earlier this week when or it was last week,
when Schottenheimer was asked does he expect Micah to be

(25:33):
at OTA's this week?

Speaker 1 (25:35):
And shot he said.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh, you know, Mike has been Mike has been present
all off season. And so then they asked him a
follow up like, well, you know, what exactly do you
mean by he's been present when he hasn't been in
the facility or been around the team, and shot he said, well,
there are other ways to be present than to be

(25:57):
here in person, and that kind of feels like it
kind of feels like what Captain is doing right now.
There are other ways to be present besides being at
the table across from me.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, this ain't no return to office. You can work
from home.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I guess that. I guess that is true.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I should, I should catch up with the times now,
but I'm still not used to still not used again
if I'm sick. That is more than like when you
know on the radio show, when I would be missing
a day or missing a show because I was sick
and you know, get asked to do a segment and
it's like, no, absolutely not, I am sick.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
You just shut down.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
I turned the phone down. The phone isn't even on me.
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I'm not even checking you know, social media or anything
if i'm If I'm truly sick, i am absolutely worthless
to be around.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
And the roommate would would attest to that.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
It's I'm pretty miserable myself.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, not, I'm make everybody else miserably or miserable unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Oh it's true. I got I got sick in Japan,
and the people I was with they were like, you're
just a grumpy old man right now.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well that's a whole other level too, like getting sick
while you're on vacation, while you're on.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
The last two days there too. It was rough.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
That is terrible.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
When we uh, when we went to China the first
time I had, you know, I had. I thought I
had a stomach of steel, and I wasn't worried about
eating anything, and I'll be fine, I'm drinking the water.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I don't it's not gonna hurt me, buddy. It was
like I did.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
I held that mentality for the first eight to twelve
hours of the trip and then the next seventy two
I was all kinds of all kinds of tour up
from the from the floor.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
They call it Monthazuma's revenge.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, well I think I had. I think I had
Mau's revenge over there.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
It was cons revenge.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, is uh you know.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Some somewhere one of his like his offspr you know, what's.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
The old urban legend like related?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well, yeah, exactly did you catch the story I talked about?
I talked with Bama about this.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Our tenth president, President Tyler, his grandson died last week.
Think about that, the tenth president of our country.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
How how old was his grandson? One hundred and ten?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
No, it's it's it's actually so there was like a
all total there was like a two hundred and thirty
eight year gap or two thirty eight two fifty three.
Those are the two numbers that stick out in my head.
It's one of those two. But so Tyler had a
kid after he left the presidency when he was seventy eight,

(28:55):
and then that guy had a kid when he was
sixty five, and that kid was our tenth president's grandson.
The only reason I know This is because every year
on the dude's birthday, it would pop up, you know,
there would be a story that would go pseudo viral,
or at least it would be on you know, Dredge

(29:16):
Report or news or whatever, and I would see it,
and every year I would forget it, be.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Like, how is that?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
How?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
How do we still?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
How does a tenth president have a grandson, not great grandson,
a grandson.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Well, it makes sense that they were, you know, shooting
out offspring that late in life.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, and you know, if you were the former president,
I think you probably had people looking to maybe carry
your offspring later in life.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Maybe so at that point, but yeah, Cap is Cap
is now. I don't know if he is.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Appreciative of the the fact that I compared him to
Micah or if he took that as a as a slight.
But if you are listening along live, Cap should keep
the chat pretty lively elsewhere. You know, Monday night, as
we were wrapping the show, walked into the living room
just in time to see Corey Perry start a fight

(30:20):
at the end of the game as the ice Cats
were destroying the Oilers.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Six to one.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
It feels like, you know now that you know Edmonton
had home ice advantage Florida split up there the first
two games, and now that the series is back in Florida,
it really, it really looks like it might be a
replay of how last year went, although I keep, I
keep bringing it up. The Panthers won the first three

(30:48):
games last year and then Edmonton bounced back for three
straight before Florida one game seven. So I think wouldn't
surprise or shock me at all if we're staring at
a game. But the way Florida is playing, it looks
clear to me that they know they need to win
this series in six so they can have Game six

(31:09):
at home. They don't want to go to a Game
seven up in Edmonton, especially, you know, with Mick Jesus
and a home crowd behind him trying to get a
Stanley Cup to return to Canada for the first time.
What it's ninety three, Yeah, ninety two, ninety three Montreal Canadians,

(31:32):
the last Canadian teams, the Canadians.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
And then old time hockey.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
For obviously we're keeping an eye as we're doing this
live tonight, we're keeping an eye on the thunder Pacers game.
That's I heard him say earlier. That's the first game
in a first NBA Finals game in that arena since
the first year it opened in the year.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Two thousand, So they've gone.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
They opened the new arena and went to the finals
that year. So if you're an Indiana fan, you're thinking, like, man,
life is great. The next twenty five years are gonna
be like how many NBA Finals are we gonna host?
How many times? Is how many times are we gonna
get to experience this? Well, it's it's now twice over

(32:24):
the course of course of twenty five years since that
arena originally opened up. Pacers as we sit here now
pacers up five in the second quarter.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Will keep an eye on that.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
But I, you know, obviously, I'm the roommate is out
of town this week. I'm still solo until tomorrow night.
So I don't know about you, but I tend to
get a little cabin fever, like I am.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
I joke.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, we were talking Monday, joking about playing the game
of not acting too excited as I drop her off
at the airport, like, oh, darling.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I'm gonna miss you. It's gonna be it's gonna be
a rough week without you here.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
And then I immediately go home and play, you know,
ten straight hours of every video game that I that
I have been, you know, telling myself, oh, I just
need to find some time to play that.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Well, I mean it could be worse. You'd be going
out to bars till three am every night.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, well I might have. I might have ended up
at a karaoke night last night.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Okay, so you both yeah, okay, so you're indulging. Yeah,
we got a little bored.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Usually the first night she's gone, it's all video games,
and I fall asleep on the couch, usually with the
controller in my hand. And you know, that's probably about
three point thirty four am when that happens usually, And
so when she's on the West coast, you know, the
two hour difference, there's some nights where I end up

(34:00):
staying up later than she does because I stay up
till four thirty and she's asleep.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, exactly. So I try not to overplay, you know,
how potentially excited I am as she's leaving for four days.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
But usually you know, like yesterday was day two, so
day one was I was able to entertain myself. Day
two was already looking for some friends in the neighborhood, like, oh,
it's Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Don't y'all usually do karaoke tonight?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Where So last night I walk in these were This
was the three songs spread. The first three karaoke songs
I heard when I walked in. First one was Randomly. Now,
remember this is last night. I don't think the news
had broke yet. The first song I heard randomly was

(34:58):
God Only Knows R P R I P.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Brian Wilson. We'll talk about that in the Lightning Round.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
That's my favorite Beach Boys song.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
It's Paul McCartney's favorite song ever. Oh so you're in
good company. It's also, for my money, probably the greatest
pop song ever recorded.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I think that is Pinnacle.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
If you're gonna call Brian Wilson the godfather of pop,
I think that's his pin of crowning, Pinnacle achievement song.
We'll talk about him and Beach Boys and Beatles and
McCartney and the Lightning Round. But so, the first song
was God Only Knows. The second song was Napoleon solo
at the drive In.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
There's a Dude.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
There a dude that goes every week and sings a
different at the drive in.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Song, which is okay.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
It's a good bit. I mean it's a great bit
sing what you know?

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, yeah, And so he's.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Second song screaming at the drive in and the third
song was fall to Pieces Patsy Klein, so like all
over them, Tony good old Tony Siesta right there, yeah,
which first of all, is basically the size of a
linen closet. So karaoke in there and a dude screaming

(36:14):
at the drive in in that little is.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
There a stage or you just sing from the bond
dude you're singing, you just sing from your seat, And basically.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
That's pretty much how it is.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
It feels like it feels like a frat house with
a karaoke machine, just everyone hanging out in the same room,
passing the microphone, passing the blunt, passing the bottle, and uh,
it was.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
It was pretty lively last night.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
So I've been doing a little bit of that too,
and that's usually by night too. I'm starting to I'm
starting to really tried scramble to find something to do. Luckily,
doing these shows, you know, Monday and Wednesdays, that pretty much.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
It helps, it helps, But last night, no show we're
doing karaoke till two am. But today I actually went
on a little bit of an exploration, a little bit
of an adventure, and I have some show untel for
the stream, we'll describe it for the audio audience. So, y'all,

(37:20):
you remember last month I told you I got the
new viagraa Boys album, and it's something the roommate and
I do. We buy each month. You know, just as
a both of us are terrible gift givers, which it's
probably because of our extreme, extreme narcissism for lack of

(37:45):
a better word, but both of us are terrible gift givers.
So we came up with a system where once you know,
every month, we buy each We both love vying, we
both love records, so we buy each other record that
we think the other one would enjoy.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
So I went.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
With the roommate graduating grad school last week, I was
going to move up our monthly purchases and track get
her one as part of her the gift I have
for so.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
I was scrambling.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I went to three different record stores today, went to UH.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Southtown Vinyl, went to Hogwild Love. Those are my two.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Those are my two go to if I can't find it,
if the guys at Southtown can't get it for me
because they do a lot of sourcing as well.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Really good dudes down there.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Cho Yeah, shout out Chacho, shout out. Former Gabe worked
there for a while as well. Yeah verse free verse,
Yeah exactly, so good connection with them. I love those dudes.
Chacho actually was our wedding DJ oh nice. Yeah, really
good dude. So I still still try to give them
business first, and then if I can't find what I'm

(39:07):
looking for, if I don't find anything that jumps out,
shoot up to Hogwild just right there north of the
Gaborhood right now, I think it's uh.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
San fr Antonio.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, no, it's they gave it an official new name.
It's like the it's like the prize could yeah, like
the Culture Pride Cultural District Center or something. The city
gave it some It's all up on the uh. I
think I think most people will stick to the to

(39:40):
the Gaborhood. But so I went to those two and
then actually found another one that's actually on Broadway. Do
you remember where the old Half Priced Books was? Yeah,
on Broadway, a really cool little spot.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yep, right down from the Witty uh huh oh.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
So it's shut down. But there it turns out there
is a.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Record store right there in that same little It's Crazy
Rhythms Vinyl records, and it's been there, he said six years.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
That was my first time to go into it. It's nice.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
It's got a lot of if you're looking for it
feels like it's run by a older, you know, metal
kind of guy. Like it's got a lot more a
sixties seventies records than new. So I actually ended up
spending the most time there because I was just digging

(40:42):
through their crates looking at all the old records.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
But all that to say, at Hogwild, I found this.
Let's see if I'm there, we go.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
Yeah, that's perfect. Cav World, Cave World, Cave World World.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
It is a world by BIAGRAA Boys. So this is
the album.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Uh, this one was their most recent album until the
one that we got last month.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
And so now that we.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Are uh, and now that we are collecting VIAGRAA Boys
albums as one should because they are all so so
damn good. I saw this one today and I thought,
that's it's not gonna be Steph's gift, but it's gonna
be my gift to myself. This is yeah, and so
I went ahead and did the did the job for

(41:38):
and then you know, there's your for the video liner.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Yeah, the liner art for the the youngsters out there
that don't know any better.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
I know.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
It was funny today there was a guy that was
really geeking out because he found, uh, some old classic
rock album that had the original liner in it, and
he was talking like, I've been looking for this for
three and a half years.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
You know what I've been looking for is the up
and Smoke soundtrack, the original one. It came with a
giant zigzag that was like record size folded because because
of course, yeah, and if you can find some of
the originals, they still have the zigzag in there because
some people didn't realize that. You know, it's the liner
that you put the record in, but you can also

(42:23):
unfold it and roll up a you know, a car
sized dude, literally a log.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
An ounce joint. Hell, probably a QP joint that big.
So yeah, I got the got the bigger boys. But
then this was something I saw it and I immediately
thought of U LG. Because this is a it's a

(42:50):
zero album, But what it is is it's a single.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
It's it's it's a single with the main song instrumental
and acapella.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Good guess it's the It's a Club vinyl, so it is.
It's not a Zero official it's a It's a Rap
a Lot vinyl that its screwed up.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
So he's we got you know, most of the Dawn
the Mule Platinum. These are all from like let the
Truth Be Told, uh, and then from the South Don't
want to hurt nobody and respect my mind. So they're
all from that album. But it's before that album had
actually come out. And this is what J Prince was
taken to all of the Houston club.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
It's a test pressing, exactly, test pressing. It's it's a
test of an executive producer. J Prince right there on it.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Did you listen to it in the store?

Speaker 2 (43:46):
It's yeah, well no, I listened to it at the
house because I figured, even if it's warped or if
it doesn't play well, uh, it's still collectible enough to
me just to have it because Zero is still my
favorite Houston rapper. And ironically it's funny so about the
Houston rap the ra sample album, Club sample album, and

(44:10):
then this viagraa boys album has a song called punk
rock loser on it where he literally talks talks about
mixing promethazine and seven up.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
So it's oh, so there's a lean connection.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
There is?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
There is because our boy from viagraa boys Sebastian is
absolutely lucked into any and all types of ways that
you can consume or illegal items.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
In purple drink.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Yeah, he fully embraced. So rip Pimpsy, Yeah, rest in peace, Pimpsy.
As I went to the three record stores, couldn't find
anything that I thought specifically would be good for Steph.
So my last thought was, you know half priced books
always had as records. Let's just randomly see if they

(45:04):
have anything good in there. And I don't mind going
to half price because, as you can see on the stream,
I'm holding a book that I purchased there today and I'm.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Curious to see. I'm curious if you have ever Uh.
Of course you're aware of C. S.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Lewis like Lion Witch in the Wardrobe, okay, So, and
of course you're familiar with Tolkien.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, okay, Lord the Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Right.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
So. C. S.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Lewis and Tolkien were best friends. They were they and
they were almost the antithesis of each other. C. S.
Lewis writing from a Christian perspective, Tolkien writing from a
more not atheist, but from a secular just more you know,

(45:57):
still writing about Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
That's why, that's what I get called.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah, pagans heathens, not agnostic, that's the lazy man's abist
pick aside one or the other. But you know, Lewis
and Tolkien have a lot of the same themes, just
discussed from through different lenses, one secular fairy tale, the
other Christian religion or religious based, but both of them

(46:24):
are at the core just dealing just how to be
a good person, or how to be a better person,
or how to you know, the resist temptation, like maybe
resisting the temptation to put of the ring, you know,
resisting the power and temptation, or as this book details,

(46:45):
resisting the temptation of the devil. This is Screwtape Letters.
This is a book that if you've never heard of it. C. S.
Lewis wrote this book specifically for he wrote it as
a response to Tolkien.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Like as a is it a spiked book, so it
is well explain what that means. It's written.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Not out of spike, but out of understanding and like
trying to be trying to write the same themes but
from a a more humanistic, secular perspective, which sounds weird
because it deals so in the book, Screwtape and Wormwood

(47:38):
are uncle and nephew, and Screwtape they're both demons and
Satan's army, and screw Tape is writing these letters to Wormwood,
teaching him, telling him how to do a better job
of tempting humans to commit sin, to.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Do bad right.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
But the way I had this book given to me
by my childhood pastor, who could tell I was turning
into a heathen because yeah, me and Thom Brennaman cheers
to thomb He could tell that there were some issues
arising in my behavior.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
No way, Yeah, imagine at six fifteen, sixteen years old,
there were signs. There were a few signs.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
And so Pastor Tim Tim Pressing, one of the most
influential people in my entire life, he suggested he gave
me this book. It didn't suggest it. He said, you're
reading this book and then you're gonna tell me what
you think of it. And it absolutely changed a lot
of the way I thought about dealing with not just temptation,

(48:49):
but just human urges. And again, I'm fifteen six, I'm
a sixteen.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Year old high school kid. High school boy.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Dealing with urges was a it was a it was
a theme I needed some assistance with.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
And this book, you know, it's it's The Screwtape.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Letters, How a senior Devil instructs a junior Devil in
the Art of Temptation.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Originally C. S. Lewis wrote it in the forties during
World War Two, and each letter was sent to The
Guardian to publish.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
So C. S.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Lewis would publish these letters through the Guardian during World
War Two and then ended up putting them all together
in a book and added, like twenty years later in
the fifties, late fifties, actually added a dendum, an amendment
at the end that was, you know, kind of the

(49:48):
response to his initial letters. It was, you know, Wormwood's
response to his uncle after all of that. So I
say all of that because it feels like, as we have.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Kind of been.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Shyly referencing lately, like things are a little crazy domestically here.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
And I think when I kind of, you know, see
a lot of people that claim to be principled or
claim to have morals and then do things that outwardly
display their hypocrites. This is a book that Steph had

(50:36):
never read it, so I got it specifically because it's
one I thought I owned it. But it's a book
that I've I've owned this book twenty times in my life,
and I've given it away nineteen.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
You know this is now this is the one you
give people, right, Yeah, this is a.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Big time give people.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
And I didn't realize this, but I was doing, you know,
going down on a YouTube wormhole like I.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Will and the.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Have you ever heard of the nineties author David Foster
Wallace wrote Infinite just wrote a bunch of really really
really good short stories.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Infinite just as kind of that book where, uh, if
a dude has it in his dating profile, it's a
red flag because it's kind of like like it gets
it gets co opted and used by a bunch of.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Yeah, unsavory individuals.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Like it gets used, you get what I'm saying, Like, Yeah,
they take it out of context exactly, and it gets
like or like uh and rand.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Or any any religious book right or.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Any book that is or like screwtape letters. I'm sure
people use uh for for bad deeds. But David Foster
Wall is one of my like one of my cultural leaders.
Like I would be the guy that has the red
flag in the dating bio if I ever had to

(52:09):
get one again, because he is.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
His writing is really really good.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
But what I enjoyed the most is he did a
couple of interviews with Charlie Rose back before Charlie Rose
was canceled. This was, of course, back in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
But his long form interviews that are out there on YouTube,
it's it's clearly a man that understood in the mid
nineties how much the world was actually changing around everybody
without everyone realizing it.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Like he was, you know, main themes of isolation and loneliness,
driven not by instincts but by societal changes, the you know,
the polarization, the isolation of people. He was a he
was a university professor in the Midwest, I think, like

(53:10):
Minnesota or Iowa or somewhere. But he just somehow it
seemed like it seemed like he had a perspective that
was thirty years ahead of.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Where it is.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
And I bring him up because I was watching a Yeah,
I went I just YouTube screwtape letters just to see if,
you know, what was out there or see if because
you know, a book like this, YouTube content creators are
you know, doing three hour, five hour thesis videos on

(53:45):
this book. And so I thought, you know, maybe I
could find a good YouTube video to you know, see
somebody else's perspective or appreciation for the book. And it
turns out David foss Wallace, in one of the interviews
that he gave back in the nineties, said this book

(54:07):
was his number one book ever. It was the top
of his list. He said it's a top ten. I
think his exact quote was, Screwtape Letters is a top
ten book for me.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
And it's not two through nine or two through ten
like it was. And the audio version that was released
believe in the eighties or nineties, it the voice one
of the voice work. One of the voice actors is
the great John Clees, the former Karate Kid.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Yeah right, Joe, one of the former Monty Python.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Oh oh yeah, I was thinking, sorry, that's his character's name, correct,
But yes, yes, So.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
He ended up winning a I think it was a
Grammy because it was like oken word, but I think
that technically counts as a Grammy because it's an album
or it's a recording.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
I didn't know you can get Grammys for audio books.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
I think I'm pretty sure it's a Grammy because just
because it's audio. But found this all of that to say,
I know, I gave the viagraa Boys album suggestion and
had actually had a few of y'all, couple of y'all
reach out and say, well, had a couple of them

(55:32):
reach out and say loved it.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
It's been on repeat.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
And then had another one reach out and say, I
knew I wasn't gonna like it, but I tried, just
just to let you know, I at least tried, So
I do. I appreciate that as well. This is a
book that no matter where you are on the religious spectrum,
this is just a damn good book. It's a really
really good book, especially as I say now, when you

(55:59):
know a lot of there's a lot of questioning of
humanity at times, and that book, as screwtape letters, I've found,
is a great way to tether yourself back to your
internal principles. Because I've said it before. I mean, I'm
not the least bit religious or spiritual or anything anymore,

(56:23):
haven't been you know, since since about that time, since
about fifteen or sixteen years old, and all of that
to say, I wouldn't trade any of the religious upbringing
I had or being forced to read books like that,
because that's where my principles still originated and still where

(56:44):
they formed and where they come from. So the reason
I give that book out, and I think it surprises
a lot of my friends in the past that have said, like,
what are you doing given me a C. S. Lewis
book or what are you doing reading a cs Lewis book?
And It's like, well, just because I don't believe the
same way he does doesn't mean that it's not a

(57:05):
really good book.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Or that he's a really good author.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
So I would true if you are looking for a
summer summer reading, you could burn through, you could burn
screwtape letters in a weekend, and I would highly highly
suggest it. So that was pretty much my whole afternoon
before I realized CAP was gonna be Mia and I

(57:31):
and scrambled, scrambled back from half priced books to start
to put together a run sheet. But I know you
had your own adventure this week or was that today?
Was that earlier today?

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Yeah? It was today. It was fun. It took about,
you know, thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Tell the good people what took thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Picking up my new ride?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Well, and I am here.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
I can the easiest car buying experience I've ever had
in my life.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
See the more you tell me about again, it's pretty ironic,
like the you know, I'm not religious, but I'm suggesting
you read a C. S.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Lewis novel. You're not aligned politically with Elon, but you're
singing the praises of the Tesla and it's a good car.
That's how we work here. It's a good book, it's
a good car, it's good show.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Yeah. It drove me to h GB and back and
I didn't have to drive. It was nice.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Have you had any kind of oh shit moment yet
with auto driving?

Speaker 3 (58:33):
No? No, not yet, not yet. The only oh shit
moment is when I put the pedal to the metal
and it just floors me. It just throws me back.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
I was about to say I saw a video. I
saw a video of a dude, you know, one of
these live streamers that are, you know, drive crazy doing
all the weaving and stuff. But it was him and
his buddy in his new Tesla, and he put it
in ludicrous.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Yes, I don't have ludicrous mode. You have to have
a Model S or X to get ludicrous mode. But yeah,
I heard that's crazy too.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, he put it in and he had his buddy
sitting in the passenger seat, but his buddy was kind
of like kind of like squatting in the seat instead
of sitting in it, because as he accelerated in ludicrous speed,
it literally threw his buddy back up against the back
of the seat. And just you remember the old Cliffhanger

(59:28):
ride at six Flags where it would feel like you're floating.
Oh yeah, you know you put the penny on your
knee and the penny will float in front of you
and you can see it.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
That was what was.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
This thing was going so damn fast that it was
literally holding him in place by just the pressure the
force of throwing him back in the seat.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
So there's a Grand Tour episode or the dudes from
top Gear where they do a Model X and they
race it up against like a Lamberg Guinea or something
drag race and X just smokes it.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Oh yeah, I mean that torque, that electric And he puts.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
It in ludicrous speed and it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Like, wow, No, it is. Uh, it's ridiculous. Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
It's one of those it's still hard for me to
not wrap my head around but to instantly remember that
that thing can actually haul ass.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Yeah, I'm kind of scared by it, Like I don't
I don't don't know how much I'm gonna use that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Well, it looks if if you're not interested in speed,
at least it does.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
There If I need it, I need and I and
two thousand dollars can get me even more speed if
I want so.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
See, that's the weird thing to me. You keep talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
You know, all of these monthly like you can pay,
you pay monthly for the self driving. You can get
a speed upgrade package for a certain cost. You can
get all of these. It's literally that car is a
video game. Yeah, it's a video game. It's all just
update the software and you get access to it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
I've actually got a software up and I have to
install and it said it's gonna take fifty five minutes
and I cannot drive the car installed. So there's the downside, Yeah,
of having a computer car.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
So you said it it drove you to h GB yeah,
does it pick a parking spot or is it you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Pick the parking spot, but it parks for you. So
once it gets into the parking lane, you'll start to
see the parking spots pop up on the screen and
you just tap one of them and then it'll it
always backs in, so it'll back into it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Okay, I look as a as a humanoid back in parker.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
I do absolutely appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Oh yeah, you got it. You never know when you
have to leave quick, so always back.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
In, always always back in the Uh yeah, I can.
I think I think you probably may I liked that
truck you had, but I think you're I think you're
probably in a better spot.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
The truck was good, but I kind of got a
deal I couldn't refuse on this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
So though, god, it is funny.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Uh like you're we're gonna end up seeing your tesla
on my essay or on the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
News because someone's gonna someone's gonna jack with it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Oh, I mean I hope not. You better not. I
got my sentry mode on, so I'm gonna record your
ass vandalize.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
This century mode.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Like seven cameras surrounding that thing. But uh, the model
I got it's the same model that Elon's rolling out
in Austin as the robotaxis. They're already being spotted on
the streets.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
I saw some cliffs.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Yeah, already being spotted on the streets. So he says,
I think he said the twenty third whenever his birthday
is at the end of June. He's he's supposed to
launch the full the full fleet of robotaxis in Austin.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Yeah, and I'm sure, I'm sure there won't be any
issues with that. I'm sure it'll go completely smooth. Well,
I guess have there really you know, we like, what
is it WEIMO or WEIMO? Yeah, WEIMO. Haven't really seen
any news headlines that those have been, like, we haven't
had one drive anybody off a cliff or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
No, I've seen them get stuck where like they just
like can't figure out where they're going. They just start
going in circles, like around the block in the you know.
But they've been operating for over i'd say eight years
in San Francisco, so they have a lot of data
on those. But we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Yeah, the roommate rode in one last time. She's in
San Diego, this week, but the last time she was
in La she rode in.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
The first Whales Vagina.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Yeah, it's you know, I wish Cap was here, so
because I was going to show him the picture she
sent me. She's staying in a hotel that is right
next to Petco or whatever they call it. Right and
the right that's where their event is. So it's the
big Cisco Live event, which is I mean, it's a
huge deal. I've been seeing some of the footage of

(01:04:00):
the conference and her hotel as they were on the
rooftop bar Monday night. It was Dodgers and Padres in
extra innings.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
So they and it's I mean it is perfect. They
are like right, yeah, about.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
The buildings are right in the outfield, Like if you
look out there, there's it's just downtown. So all those
people get free badass views of the games.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
The uh unfortunately for the home crowd there, Dodgers ended
up winning that first one Monday night in extras. But
she was sending me, like I was saying earlier, as
I'm still up gaming, it's you know, midnight one am here,
it's only eleven or ten thirty and they're in extra

(01:04:48):
innings there. So she's sending me pictures of the view
from the stadium, and it literally looked like it was.
I mean it looked like it was like a blimp
shot just from how clear and right on top of
the stadium it was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
I couldn't believe her.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
I thought she was effing with me at first, because
I didn't didn't expect to. Well, first of all, didn't
expect her to be watching baseball as as that massive
conference was taking place out there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
But it was a great view.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I know we talked about it Monday, but I think
this is gonna be a recurring theme, at least for
a couple of weeks, as it's still new.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
I also I went to a.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Couple of targets as I was out running around today.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
What were you looking for?

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Well, I just thought potentially, if I needed a couple
things and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
You thought target would be the place to go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I thought, I thought, well, I can get some cat
food at this target and maybe walk by the electronics
department and if there is a switch to and then
if there's not, I'll go to another target to buy
some cat litter, yeah, and then walk by the electronics.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Well, I went over to today I struck out. I
still haven't and it's one of those like I'm not
actively actively hunting.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
But you see what I might as well snag.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Yeah, So I feel like we're gonna need uh, we're
gonna need some updates as it's still new and fresh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
How many more hours of Mario Kard have we put.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
In since Monday? Probably about No, I'm not that much.
Five maybe, oh, a few circuits. And there's this new
mode called Knockout Mode, where you you race from like
point A to point BE on a map.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
Oh yeah, I hear. That's the most I heard. That's
the most fun part. It's pretty fun, and it's it's
a lot. It's like an endurance race. So every time
you hit the finish line, it eliminates three or four
people until there's only four people left.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
In the race.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Well, and what there's what twenty I think it's twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Yeah, it's twenty four.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Have you done any online?

Speaker 5 (01:07:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
And so I also tried online and it's just as
it's hectic, man, But it's fun because it's so hectic,
it's fun. And yeah, it's it's I thought it would
be really difficult, but the way Mario Kart's set up
it they make it to where anyone can actually win, so.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Yeah, because again it's still a kid's game.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Yeah, like you never know, like you could be in
last place and you get you know, a bullet or
something that shoots you up into first place. You know. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
One of the videos I was watching about it, it
said that they have programmed this one to give less
of those out, so like you can still get them,
but it's about a quarter of the chance as it
was in Mario Kart eight. How about the open world,
because I know that's a big selling point. It's the

(01:07:47):
first open world Mario.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
It's cool, but I feel like it's kind of a
letdown because when you say the word open world, you
think like Grand Theft Auto. You think the newer Zel
does you know, or Elder Scrolls or something like that cyberpunk.
But no, it's it's just kind of like a they
open up the entire map for you to drive around in,

(01:08:08):
but it's kind of aimless. There's little goals here or there,
but there's no like tracking system to keep up with
like what you've completed. Yeah, that's but you can unlock
costumes and stuff and just like I just feel like
I'm not going to spend a lot of time in
the open world.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
One of the one of the streamers I was watching,
he was talking about there's just no incentive to really
spend a lot of time in the open world.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Like you said, there's no like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
If you want to be a completionist and try to
see and do everything, there's no count or counters or
marks or any you know, badges or anything that you're
working towards.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
See. I thought it was gonna be kind of like,
uh for as a horizon or a need for speed,
where you have this open world and that's like you
drive to the events, you know, like, oh, I got
to go to this part of town to hit that
one race, and I gotta go over here to hit
the paint shot, you know. Like but no, it's it's
just kind of like a separate thing that's like not
part of the regular races.

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Yeah, that's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
There was a game called what was it The Crew,
and it was open world. The whole map was just
a condensed version of the US. So you're just driving
across the US. It's a big map.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
Cruise in USA.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Very much Yeah, very similar.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
But as I was, you know on in the lead
up to the Switch to release. That was in my
head kind of how I thought it might because I
never played.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
That's what I thought too. I thought it was gonna
be just like you know, for I've always been Grand
Turismo guy, mainly because Forza wasn't on Sony until recently.
See Forza Horizons was their open world version of Forza.
The regular Forsa is more like the Grand Uh. But uh,

(01:09:56):
it's it's it's good man. I'm just I'm probably gonna
get like Breath of the Wild with the upgrade because
I never played it, so you never played through never
played either on Switch one. I have Tiers of the Kingdom,
but I never played it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Man. We need to, uh, we need to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
We need to get some streams up and running because
I want to try the I want to try the
Mario Kart online.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
With with that many people, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
It gets wild at times, but it's fun, especially the
knockout rounds because they're they're super long races.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Yeah, I can I can envision that being a lot
of chaos, carnage, but also a lot of fun along
with it. Well, definitely, if you get the if you
get the Zelda games as well. I want to see
what they look like.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
Hdr.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
That was always the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
With the Switch, it was it felt like it was
just barely hanging on to try to get the image
on the screen at times, like I played, you know,
obviously played both of the Zeldas. But the game I had,
I bought Civilization Sidmeir.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
Civilization. Yeah, that's gonna make any system crawl.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Yeah, but I thought it's the perfect game to have
on a tablet. I can take it anywhere. I'll play
the smallest map sizes. I'll try to make it as
smooth as possible or as easy to run as.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Now it it. I don't think I.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Ever finished a single Sieve because it would crash in
an endgame in modern era.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
It would the slower against even the PS five.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Uh, you know, because I ended up buying Siev is
one of my favorite long running series back from childhood,
and I ended up buying six on the PS five
because the Switch just struggled to run it so much
and even the PS five can't do it. So, I mean,
it feels like I need like a custom built Alien

(01:12:01):
where PC or something crazy like the.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
They did release Cyberpunk on the switch as a switch
To version and apparently it runs excellent. Everyone's giving it
rave reviews.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Well compared to how poor the release was.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Yeah, they yeah, they fixed it still. Yeah, you gotta
you gotta show up better than that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Yeah, I mean the the final version of Cyberpunk and
the uh yeah, the first storyline that was Keanu Reeves.
Second storyline Idris Elba.

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
Oh yeah I heard.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
They added that they're amazing. They are.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
The DLC changed the whole game, like, it changed a
lot of the you know, dynamics and progression skill tree
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
It ended up being I liked it because that's normally
not like I love the movie Blade Runner, but I don't.
I never had a whole lot of desire to live
in that world as I watched the movie, and so
Cyberpunk to me was as always like I want to
I want to play it because it looks cool, but
I didn't think I would immerse and I did. I

(01:13:08):
ended up eventually. Yeah, so I if you've never played that, uh,
and like you said, reports are the switch To is
actually running it pretty well, so I I would definitely
because you're still I mean, outside of Mario Kart, it's
all nothing. Yeah, it's all re you know, like uh version. Yeah, well,

(01:13:31):
I would definitely the Zelda games. Definitely Cyberpunk as soon
as you get tired of getting beat by ten year
olds online on Mario Kart, because.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
That well, luckily I don't have like the microphone set up. Yeah,
so I don't hear you know, they're not talking about
my mom.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Or yeah, yeah that's uh, that's I think in the
long run, I would. I even when I'm playing an
online game, unless it's like something where we have to
coordinate it as a team, I'm always Mike all.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
Apparently there's a camera now too that is an accessory
with the switch, and you can like put your face
up on the screen when you're playing online. I don't
know how safe.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
It feels weird for Nintendo to I just.

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
What's the over under for when someone whips something out?

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Yeah, I was about to say I would. My guess
would be we've probably already already happy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
Yeah, yeah, Nintendo probab already thought of it. There's got
to be some kind of safeguard in there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Yeah, you would think so.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
I don't think you're gonna get death stranding to on
the on the switch too.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Well, they do have hundreds of hen tie titles. Well,
for some strange.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
Reason, I think we all know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
It's strange to most but not to all, which is
why it's available.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Well, let's talk a little Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Here in the main segment, because eventually we're gonna have
some I've been working.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
I haven't told you, LG.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
We'll do some since caps not here, we'll do so
some production in front of the camera. I've been working
on some interstitials and intros for different segments.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Like sound effects, yeah, yeah, a little.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
A little sounder, and maybe god forbid, at some point,
maybe even actually putting chapters on the Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
We're trying.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
We're still time stamps.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I know, God, I know because I can just make
my little note of like, oh we did that at
nine fifteen and have it right here.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I uh, you.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Know, we've been doing it now, going into our third
month here, and it feels like it feels like it
might be time to add a few more elements. So
I've been working. I've I've had the roommate voicing voicing
something too. So we'll see what makes it out of
out of production. But here in the main segment tonight,

(01:15:55):
let's talk a little cowboys because mentioned at the top,
he had perfect full attendance at the mandatory OTAs this week,
which was you know, even in last week's episode, we
talked about Trayvon Diggs potentially not flying back. He had

(01:16:16):
been rehabbing away from the team as he rehabs for
a second straight offseason. Well, he was facing a five
hundred thousand dollars not just a fine, but a de
escalating clause on his base salary, where it would it
wouldn't be a fine, it would just be you're losing
five hundred thousand dollars off your base salary for the

(01:16:39):
rest of the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
So that's one way to motivate.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
A professional athlete to come just basically hang out with
the team for the week, as he couldn't do anything
on the field or you know, any kind of individual
drills as he rehabs. But it was good to see
Diggs in the building. It was really good to see

(01:17:03):
Micah in the building, especially as t. J. Watts holds
out Hendrix and Cincinnati holds out two guys similar to
Micah well Watt more similar to Micah Hendrick looking for
his last big deal. But the two guys hold out

(01:17:24):
Micah shows up. Micah even apparently had a good long
conversation with Jerry on the practice field as well, which
they both claimed they didn't talk contract numbers. They were
just catching up, just figuring out, asking what what they
how they had been spending their summer up until then.
But good to see, you know, as Micah has talked

(01:17:48):
about wanting to be more of a assuming the leadership role,
you can go back and follow the breadcrumbs. Now, there
were some drama last year in specifically the defensive line room.
It doesn't seem like Micah and DeMarcus Lawrence have any

(01:18:09):
love loss for each other, and Micah looking to assume
that leadership role, not just in the d line room
and not just on the defensive side of the ball,
but as a team leader, really really become that vocal,
you know, number two guy behind Dak in terms of,

(01:18:30):
you know, face face of the team. Dak's always going
to be that because he's a quarterback of the Cowboys.
But Micah clearly he said he wanted to be it.
He said he wanted to assume that that leadership vacuum,
that void that was left. But you can't do that
if you don't show up to Ota, So despite still

(01:18:51):
not having a new deal done, we at least got him.
He didn't do anything on the field either, so let's
not get crazy. Don't let me make it sound like
he went through full team activities with everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
No, but at least he was there.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Going back to when shot he said, you don't have
to be there to be present. Well now he at
least was present in the flesh and in full form
despite not going through any on field activity besides talking
to Jerry. It's good to see. I think we're gonna

(01:19:29):
play some audio here for Micah next the you know, Mike,
I've I've long.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Back to the days of Michael Parsons look good again.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
I have always hoped that the end.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
Form Micah's final form.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Was actually a elite top three edge rusher in the league.
And as much as the as much as the stat
suggest that, there still have been questions with Micah, and
I would not shy away from the fact that, you know,
the the questions of the distractions of the podcast, the

(01:20:12):
questions of the garbage time sacks when the Cowboys are
you know, when the game is not nearly the sacks
that he gets when they don't actually end up being
as impactful to winning games. That's the one of the rubs,

(01:20:34):
one of the knocks on Micah. So all that being said,
they got to give him his money. It's just a
matter of when they do it. And it seems like
Jerry's gonna drag it out the same way they drug
out CD last year. But Micah is still you know,
last summer it was the sumo wrestling trip with with
c J. Stroud, and now Micah is really taking a

(01:20:59):
like to TikTok apparently where if you saw the trend
that's been going around for the last couple of weeks,
it's where dudes just randomly call up their bros, their
buddies and tell them good night, and Micah, it's it's
it's look, I understand the bit, and it was a

(01:21:22):
good bit. But when you're doing a bit like that,
two weeks later, everyone you call, or i should say
almost everyone you call, knows what you're doing. So there's
no bit anymore because everyone's seen it everywhere. And we
got we got most of those type of responses from

(01:21:44):
the actual teammates, but Micah also called up shoddy as
well and shot he gave a little bit of a
different answer. So we'll we'll play this and and uh
start and stop here because there's it's this is a
compilation of multiple call He calls Digs, he calls Osa,
he calls Shoddy, and I want to see if you

(01:22:07):
can pick up on the differences in uh, you know,
attitude amongst the different positional players here.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
Hello, yeahs going.

Speaker 6 (01:22:23):
No, I just wanted to say good night, Bro.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
You are bron know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
You're lying, Bro.

Speaker 7 (01:22:32):
No, Bro, I want to say I wanted Yeah, this
is what I needed, man, Bro.

Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
Not that's the part that I hate, Like, I just
feel like recently nobody check up.

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
On this no more.

Speaker 6 (01:22:47):
No in fact, Bro, like the reassurance, Bro, just that
somebody is always did for you and valuable, Broy.

Speaker 5 (01:22:54):
I love that, bronight, Bro.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Okay, that's special.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Yeah, okay, so wholesome.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
Yeah, wholesome.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
That is the best case for it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
And uh, man, I can't remember that's not Diggs or Osa.
I can't remember who that first one is. It's either.
I don't think it's c D either. But that is
the best case scenario for how this can go. Let's
let's hear the next one.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
Okay, here's Trayvon.

Speaker 6 (01:23:34):
I just called it, say good night, brook.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
If you didn't catch that, like this is Trayvon Diggs.
Immediately as soon as Micah says I just called to
say good night, there's a long pause and Digs goes
you on your TikTok ship like Diggs.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
Diggs has no time for this. He's not playing along.
He's not which I think this would be if you
were to call me out to tell me good night
like this, this would be my Oh okay, are we
on stream right now?

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
All right, yeah, you recording this? Okay, all right, play it.

Speaker 6 (01:24:17):
You too?

Speaker 5 (01:24:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:24:19):
Good night man.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Still gotta I love you out of him? You too? H.
Then this is a dicky zoo of the fellow d
lineman night. Listen to this last. That's such a defensive linement.

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
Just yeah, good night, broy, I.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Appreciate you, Hey, you have a good nights.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Well, yes, of course, the interior defensive lineman worried about
if he's gonna make it to dinner.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
Pause it there real quick.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
The uh that laugh and that voice is immediately I
feel like I instantly can tell that is a six
foot two, six foot three ninety pounds quarterback destroyer from
the D line it's just very That's what I want

(01:25:32):
my defensive lineman to sound like, like that deep laugh, intimidating,
just sounds like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
Alright, fired up there, Bro, I just.

Speaker 5 (01:25:45):
Called to say good night, Bro, Bro, I have a
good night my dog.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
What coach positive here? Yeah? So, first of all, this
is we're getting to know Shody.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
We're getting to, like I mentioned at at the top,
we haven't really talked a lot of Schottenheimer. And when
you hear him in the press conference that we're gonna
play after this video, remember what he sounds like here
as he's answering the phone from Micah Parsons at some

(01:26:37):
late evening, late hour of the evening. Here, Remember what
Shoty sounds like here?

Speaker 5 (01:26:44):
What coach?

Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:26:47):
I just wanted to say good night.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
Okay, I love that, Bro? What's going on?

Speaker 5 (01:26:51):
Yos?

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
So like instantly Shod He's like, what up, Maine? What
out Maine? How you doing? Bro? What a little code
switching clar But also, do you think Mike McCarthy would
ever attempt to do any of this?

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Do you think Bill Parcells or Jimmy Johnson No? And
this is where thinking specifically about Shoddy, I don't know
what he's going to look like as an ex as
an o's coach. But he keeps talking about culture and
building a culture and guys like Micah athletes from this

(01:27:34):
current era and really specifically the Micah and younger era,
you know, the mid late twenties and under it starts,
it feels like the NFL is starting to feel or
starting to turn into more of a relationship game, managing

(01:27:54):
relationships than actually managing players or you know, that's that's
what coordinators are for, that's what your guys, you know,
eberflus De coordinator is gonna have all summer, all training camp,
all week to week to figure out exactly where Micah
is gonna do the most damage. Uh Shody is focused

(01:28:17):
on the relationship building part of it. And at the
end of this, as this conversation goes along, first of all,
Shot and Iron never catches on to what's happening whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
He has no.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
Idea that he's a part. It doesn't sound like it.
It doesn't sound like he has any idea that he's
a part of a Micah TikTok video. But secondly, the
way he goes straight into talking business like and see
if you pick up on that because I think Shody

(01:28:50):
is I think Micah actually loves Shoddy is what I think.

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
You know, I mean, I just feel like, you know,
player to coach, just chaking in on your mental same night.
Ole fans will see one day, no excited run. This
is a good night.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
Well good man.

Speaker 8 (01:29:06):
Hey, look hey, look, I know this is weird for everybody, man,
but look you're handling everything the right way, bro, and
this thing's gonna get worked out.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
And again he.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Thinks he's having issues right thro the contract.

Speaker 8 (01:29:18):
We take this thing, man, We're building something special and
you're gonna be a huge party bro.

Speaker 6 (01:29:22):
Yeah man, oh yeah, oh yeah, take a shoty for
me when you got right now, brother, Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:29:38):
And I look forward to seeing you Monday and it's
go get great week.

Speaker 5 (01:29:42):
Oh yeah, seeing something Coach.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Harbor appreciate you man, you hear uh.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
They back when they did a they did a video
on the oh it was their schedule release video that
was so awful. It was just a thirty minute long
or like a three long Twitch live stream where they
just dropped hints along the way of what the schedule was.
But they were out on a golf course on the
Cowboys golf course up there in North Texas and all

(01:30:13):
of the players are sipping, you know, sipping on something,
and then Shody has a double poor of whatever. I
think shoddy parties is what I'm saying. Like it feels
like it feels like that is a part of his
relationship building process with these guys. He keeps talking about
how he's he's been taking a different position, groups out

(01:30:35):
to dinners together and emphasizing that he pays for him,
like that is of any effect to professional athletes. He
put a ping pong table in the locker room like
we're we're going full seemingly going full college locker room
kind of vibe very frat house, like take a Micah

(01:30:59):
telling him take a shy for me, like we've got
having fun with the last name nicknames, and Schottennheimer saying, oh,
I've already got one right here.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
Whether he did or not, he.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
Knows the line like he's and I think Micah said
that seemingly to make fun of him, and then Schottenheimer
responded so quick, I think it actually got Mike is.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Like, oh shit, alright, alright, I love this. I love this.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
All of that, to say, it all feels very Dave
Campo when the coach got so friendly with the players
that they felt like it was okay to pants him
on the practice field during a Hard Knocks episode.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
We could be traveling.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
This could end up being it's not gonna be as
much fun when they're three and seven through the first
ten games of the season, And this still very much
could be Dave Campo two point zero. But damn it
if I'm not starting to at least buy into some
of it, because it is such a stark departure from

(01:32:05):
the culture of Mike McCarthy showing, you know, clips from
Austin Powers as motivational tools in team meetings, or bringing
Gallagher in to smashed watermelons. At least shot He's references
and way of doing things is a little more or

(01:32:27):
a little more up to the modern era we find
ourselves in, not far enough where he recognizes he's a
part of a TikTok trend, So he's not ultimate coach
brow that that's locked into what's happening on TikTok, but
he is at least it seems like, making legitimate connections

(01:32:48):
with the most important players on the roster, with Micah
being near the top of that list after Dak talking
as soon as he as soon as he shift gears
into hey, man, I know this is weird. He's talking
about the contract extension. He's talking about the fact. He's like, look, man,
I'm telling Jerry, let's get this done. But there, I

(01:33:10):
know it's weird. Show up Monday and we'll keep well,
you know, building working towards getting that done. So clearly
he is doing everything he can to try to keep
Micah engaged, and again like play save this audio, mark

(01:33:31):
this audio and play it for me when they're five
games under five hundred after seven weeks or or you know,
however potentially bad the start could be. I think their
schedule is actually it's the second half of the schedule,
like they might not win a game after week nine
or ten. I don't think they're favored in any game

(01:33:53):
in the second half of their schedule, or maybe the
Giants game, but outside of that, it could be a
terrible season. Vegas is suggesting they're the third best team
in the division, and they're also suggesting that they are
an under five hundred team even after the Pickings trade.
So I'm fully preparing myself for utter disaster with shoddy

(01:34:17):
but right now I would be lying if I told
you I wasn't at least enjoying the entertainment factor and
seeing him try to try to build this quote unquote
culture that is so important to him. And this is
where that other clip I got comes into play because

(01:34:42):
a couple of things I've noticed while listening to Schottenheimer
press conferences or clips that have been going around. This
is a clip that made the rounds him talking about
specifically about the culture they're building and why that's so important.
But I want I want you to notice he does

(01:35:04):
a specific tick with his Senate structure that I think
is gonna drive me insane. Uh the more I hear it.
Throw it up there, lg.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
Uh very easy.

Speaker 8 (01:35:16):
And want to be the greatest culture in professional sports.
And that's saying a lot. I get that, But you
know it's no different than sitting up here and talking
about winning Super Bowls. You know, I mean there's a standard.
The standard is we want to be the best, and
will we be the best culture?

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:35:32):
We're gonna try, and will we make mistakes along the way, Absolutely,
we'll make mistakes and then we'll fix things. And but
you know, like you know, you guys asked me a
couple of weeks ago about GP coming in here, like,
you know, how does he fit the culture? The culture's
more than just one person, you know, And so the
big thing that goes into culture too, I think, is
being authentic. You know, I will always be authentic. I'm

(01:35:54):
never going to stand up here and pretend to be
something I'm not. I think that that's a recipe for
this in this business. I've seen it. I've seen it fail.
I think I share with you. My dad said, hey,
if you ever get a shot to be a head coach,
one thing you should never do is change be yourself.
And so the culture that we're building here is is
something that I truly believe in and that most of

(01:36:15):
these players that we have they believe in it, or
if they don't believe in it yet hopefully them seeing
my conviction makes them buy in.

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
And that's where that's where I say he gets me,
because I could not agree anymore with his take on authenticity.
The you know, just everything around you is fake.

Speaker 1 (01:36:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
We were talking about it Monday night. You know, all
of these brands that jump on whatever the culture war
trend is because not because they actually care about society
or the people in it, just because they care about
profit and they care about money.

Speaker 1 (01:36:53):
And with everything being yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Politics full of hypocrits, no principles, nothing authentic coming from them, businesses, corporations,
nothing actually authentic outside of you know, mom and pop
or smaller level companies that are are focusing on authenticity.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
You know, you work in the corporate world. You know it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
You know how that is the the authenticity there is
is a most times a detriment to your upward mobility
than it is you know, speaking your mind, is you know,
one out of one hundred times going to get you promoted,
ninety nine percent demoted or fired. The authenticity that Shoddy

(01:37:45):
is speaking of.

Speaker 1 (01:37:47):
I fully believe in, and I do believe that. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
You know, millionaire football players, millionaire twenty something year old
professional athletes, they see right through a lot of the fake,
Like like McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (01:38:04):
I hate to keep bagging on.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
McCarthy, who actually was at the facility yesterday picking up
the rest of his stuff. That's not a joke. They
had a box still for him, you know, showing Austin
powers clips to try to motivate an NFL team that
doesn't get you. There's not a whole lot. I don't

(01:38:26):
feel like Mike McCarthy is authentically Austin Powers guy. Maybe
he is, and maybe that is his U that is
what is authentic to him. But I think trying to
get through to the bulk majority of this roster, it's
shoddy being if that is actually who he is. That
guy that was talking to Micah on the phone telling

(01:38:49):
him like, oh yeah, bro, like, oh thanks for callingim,
and you know that kind of authenticity, I don't necessarily
think he's faking that.

Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Specifically, he saw Pete Carroll do this exact thing in Seattle.
Pete Carroll, of course, before you know, turning USC into
a powerhouse in the early two thousands, he had his
cup of tea. He had his taste of NFL head coaching.

(01:39:20):
I think it was what was it Jets, Jets and
Pats or maybe just Jets. But and then went to
college and we saw that version, college version, USC version
of Pete Carroll. And then when he got the opportunity
to come back into the NFL took the Seattle job,
we saw college version of Pete Carroll, not former NFL

(01:39:43):
version of Pete Carroll and shot he was the you know,
offensive coordinator for those Seattle teams. And seeing Pete Carroll
bounce around in practice and genuinely connect with the dudes,
you know, I think of uh, you know, the Bennett
brother that played Michael Bennett played d end up there

(01:40:07):
for uh the Seahawks back then, and it felt like
him and Pete Carroll were absolutely locked at the hip
culturally and connected on that kind of authenticity over everything perspective.
And so I think Shoddy is onto something as he

(01:40:28):
tries to build the culture that he keeps describing. But
I think less of the you know, podcast bud buzzwords
that he's been using, you know, a lot of the
presence and uh, intentionality is a big word for him
that I've heard pop up in multiple clips.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
He seems like.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
He's a real big, you know, wellness, self help kind
of uh kind of guy, which nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (01:40:57):
I mean that is you know that that that's a
lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Overcoming adversity, is just overcoming the you know, the the negative.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
Thoughts in your own brain.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
And it seems like Shoddy really understands that this younger
generation have way more outside pressures that weren't there in
previous generations, mainly being you know, Micah opens himself up
to a lot of those by doing the podcast, but
the you know, trying to form those bonds through you know,

(01:41:32):
authentic connections with the players.

Speaker 1 (01:41:35):
So far, so good. Again, none of this leads.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
To touchdowns or interceptions or takeaways or uh, you know,
winning games.

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
But I I do think if you if.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
You try to overvalue this culture, you know, does does
a good culture lead to winning football games directly? I
still think good players lead more so to winning games
at that level. Like obviously you see it at the

(01:42:10):
high school level. Some team can have half a dozen
D one prospects and get smoked by a small school
that have all played together since they were kindergarteners and
have you know, are going to be lifelong friends because
you can't not be friends with someone in a small town.
We've seen it at the small levels. But once the
talent gets that elite, I think the you know, the

(01:42:34):
talent usually is what wins out wins football games. But
there is still value to actually liking the guy lining
up next to you and actually wanting to fight to
win games, not just for yourself but for the entire team,
and I think that is where that the culture conversation

(01:43:00):
and can can start to actually have some kind of payoff.
But for now, it's it's just bad, you know, almost
month late TikTok trends. But again, remind me, remind me
in three months that I said I was starting to

(01:43:21):
buy into some of this, But damn it, if Shody
doesn't have me buying in a little bit. One thing
I won't buy into. I say this, I have no
desire to watch this, but I know I will look
at that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:36):
This is the problem.

Speaker 5 (01:43:37):
LG.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Can I interest you in Drop, premiering August nineteenth, a
Netflix sports series America's Team, The Gambler and His Cowboys?

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
The Cowboys you know the truth? You don't only on Dudo?

Speaker 8 (01:44:00):
How about.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Well that's that's my question. So there's the first three episodes.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Is this the thing they've been filming in at Jerry
World this whole time? They've been following with cameras everywhere,
So this is what they're They're finally gonna release this.

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
I think they paid Jerry something like fifty million dollars
for the rights to this.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Are we going to see fun time Jerry or so.

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
I think that's that's why I say, look, the first
three episodes, Okay, that's him becoming you know, becoming the
oil baron oil tycoon, buying the Cowboys and winning three
Super Bowls in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:44:42):
There's three episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
What's the rest of the series gonna be, like, are
we gonna get a Dave Campo's Yeah. I don't think
you're gonna get any mentions of Vuka or uh North Dallas.

Speaker 3 (01:44:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:44:56):
You know, wait, staff bartender, barfly interactions in the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
We're not going to hear about the daughter. He fails
to recognize.

Speaker 2 (01:45:04):
That's the the that's that's your Verrukah, the who also
was on her own reality show that we need to
go back and watch. Actually because no one knew that
it was Jerry Jones kid at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
We're going to get some some under selfies, you know,
some some up shots yea.

Speaker 1 (01:45:26):
From from the old Dalrymple, the old PR guy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
No, I don't think you're getting any of that because
Jerry is controlling it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
And as much as again I say as much as
I have no interest in watching this, I know I
will because it's Cowboys and at least a couple of
the seasons will be about the last time I actually
enjoyed watching the Cowboys. So there's gonna be some member berries,

(01:45:57):
nostalgia berries that get tickled. But I it just doesn't
feel like you know, we've seen we saw the Last Dance,
and you know there was actually a crowning accomplishment that
revolved that carried that story. You know, we've seen we

(01:46:18):
saw the Brady documentary or the Patriots documentary that Bob
Kraft funded. You know that at least had an era,
a dynasty to cover and not a short blip and
then a lot of mediocrity. I just don't understand necessarily.

(01:46:40):
I mean, I know it's Cowboys and it's Jerry Jones,
so it Netflix. It's gonna do numbers for him. But
what story is there to tell if you're not telling
the story of the White House in the nineties where
they all partied, banged wars and did drugs.

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
Like, so is this are they just gonna end it
after the third win the third Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
Well, I think that's.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
The end of Jerry's story right there. I think I've
done nothing after that.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
It should tell I hadn't noticed this, but now that
you say that the promotional image promotional poster that was released,
it's Jerry Jones and then the only players on the
poster Emmett Aikman, Irvin Dion.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
So it's gonna end with that. It's it should end
in the the nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
It kind of feels like we we might just get
which if that glory case.

Speaker 3 (01:47:28):
You're gonna get the Glory Days. If that's the case,
can we live it? But how many of these have
already been made? I mean, obviously they don't all focus
on Jerry, but there's a ton of documentaries about that team.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
This is run It's I think the only differentiating, differentiating
selling point would be that this is.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
Jerry, Jerry's baby, and Jerry is.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
Getting which also means we know Jerry is going to
be painted in expectedly the best. Why ever, I would
I would think if he has all that control.

Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
But hopefully they go like Tiger King with it and
the director just totally duped him. Oh my god, just
pull out all the drama and all the skeletons are
gonna come out of the clouds.

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
Know how amazing that would be? God? If Netflix just
dupes even they're like, oh yeah, Jerry.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
Yeah, blackfish, Oh dude.

Speaker 2 (01:48:25):
Just to get all the access and okay, cross your fingers.

Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
Yeah, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
No, no, but August nineteenth, I have a unfortunate feeling
that we will be locked in to because that'll, I
mean it's it's gonna be, you know, late August watching
this to get through training camp. Then the season starts,
and then the Cowboys are gonna be on the end

(01:48:53):
season hard Knocks because they're covering the NFC East. So
we're gonna get a lot of off the filled Cowboys
media UH this season, which is good for us because
that's content at is content. Maybe speaking of content, let's
close it out with a little lightning round LG. I
think we uh, I think we've done our best we've

(01:49:15):
been despite the uh the spam from Captain in the chat.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
I see he uh.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
I'm telling you one I I was, I was going
to throw him a bone with the uh with the
Netflix show there, because I I think I am more
in agreement with him. A San Francisco forty nine er
fan of why the hell do we need another Cowboys documentary?

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
What is the so I? To my credit, it was
a lot of shoddy slobbering. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:49:48):
But it also one thing we can agree on is
I don't think we need another Jerry documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:49:53):
But let's close it out here with a little lightning round.

Speaker 2 (01:49:58):
We'll start with And we are still sitting here as
an NBA final game goes on Pacers one oh one
ninety eight lead with six and a half minutes left.
Maybe we can get out of here and pop over
to the living room to catch the last of that.
I saw this stat on it started to spread online.

(01:50:22):
You know, we've talked a lot about the Halliburton the
player votes, the players voting Tyrese Haliburton as the most
overrated player over rated. Well, let me give you a
number here on shots to tie or take the lead
in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or

(01:50:44):
overtime these playoffs. Halliburton is thirteen for fifteen, mister clutch,
he has made thirteen of the fifteen shots he has
attempted to either tie or take the lead in the
final two minutes of these playoff games. That is insane.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
I had to read it, like I literally I read
it and then read it again, and then checked the
comments to see if somebody had like was telling him
because this was NBA Central that that put it out
where I saw it, and uh almost almost too good
to believe, hit me lg.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
Oh indeed, well, speaking of Spurs sam Amiko reported today,
it's either.

Speaker 1 (01:51:32):
Amiko or Amiko. I think it's Amiko. Not the most.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
Trusted source historically at times. And and if you actually
read the article that he referenced, there's no of course
he's not gonna share or tell his sources, but there's
no he doesn't even reference that he has anyone within
the Spurs camp suggesting this to him.

Speaker 1 (01:51:57):
He doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
He really leaves it completely, you know, cloudy of how
he got to this idea. But he is reporting the
Spurs aren't locked in on Harper with the second pick,
which I am interesting. Yeah, I mean I think it's
I think the bigger question to me is what is

(01:52:19):
his you know, what's his motivation and putting that report
out there, because it doesn't seem to be you know,
he's the only person that said that as everyone else
is saying the number two pick is locked in, it
feels like he might just be looking at the odds
on the board and saying, well, if I'm the only
one that says it, and then it happened, and then

(01:52:39):
I'm right. I can claim it's like he's taking underdog
odds because I maybe maybe they're at least still open
or talking about it. But I think Harper is clear
clearly the number two prospect in this draft behind Cooper

(01:53:00):
Flag and would be a solid number one pick in
any other draft that didn't have a Cooper or a
Wimby or a Lebron type talent at number one.

Speaker 1 (01:53:09):
Hit me, LG.

Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
You want to keep it real. You keep it real
with me.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
Oh one more NBA story here. So the Knicks apparently
tried to make a run at Jason Kidd, tried to
hire him away from the MAVs to become their head
coach now that they have fired coach Tibbs. And as
someone who has watched a lot of Dallas Mavericks basketball
with Jason Kidd as the head coach, I would just

(01:53:34):
ask why he Besides maybe the relationship building, like going
back to Shott, you know, Jay Kidd is the players
love him, the players respect him, players seem.

Speaker 1 (01:53:47):
To really really take to his coaching.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
But as far you know, watching these watching Rick Carlisle
operate at the end of a game, the way he
uses his timeouts, the plays he draws up coming out
of time out, the way he sets his team up
multiple possessions ahead of a final you know clutch uh,
you know, final thirty seconds of a game. J Kid

(01:54:15):
is much more of the relationship builder than an x's
and o's guys. And I think if you're the Knicks,
those guys all have the relationships are are great. They're
all college teammates. The I think you're you're missing an
x's and o's guy, especially Thibodeau. The X's and o's
on one side of the ball on defense were great,

(01:54:37):
but the the X's and o's on the offensive side,
I think is what ended up getting them in troubles.
But all of that is mute because the MAVs declined
to even allow Kid to talk to the Knicks, so
it seems like it also seems like Kid had some interest,
which I can't blame him. After, you know, Nico trades

(01:54:58):
away Luca and then drags Kid out there in the
press conference and wants him to talk for the team,
be the face, which he should as head coach. But
then Nico does such a poor job the team stops
letting him do media, and then there's no team president
to do media.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
The new owner won't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
So for a lot of this past season, Jason Kidd
was just left as the one voice of the Dallas Mavericks,
and it seems like he was at least open to
talking to the Knicks.

Speaker 1 (01:55:29):
But as I said, the MAVs declined.

Speaker 2 (01:55:31):
So at the end of that story, maybe the Knicks
should look at trying to find a coach that's not
already under contract.

Speaker 1 (01:55:38):
Hit me LG.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
Alright, man, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
Friday at the Alamodome, We're about to have a bunch
of people pissed off again. It's another major concert, sixty
dollars parking Friday night for Shakira's world tour. M it's
gonna be I mean, that's a big one. Obviously, go
to that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:00):
Sure I wouldn't pay, but I know i'd go to
it if someone gave me tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
Well, it's the Alamo Dome. There's always a door unattended.

Speaker 3 (01:56:07):
And left open.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
I mean, just walking cigarette, Just walk up smoking a
cigarette and then just walk in.

Speaker 1 (01:56:14):
Very rarely do they stop you.

Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
Yeah, the the uprising has already begun.

Speaker 1 (01:56:20):
They posted the Alamodome.

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
I guess now is trying to get out or the
city technically is trying to get out in front of it.
This time because so many people were pissed about the
sixty dollars parking for post Malone and.

Speaker 1 (01:56:33):
Jelly Roll and now.

Speaker 2 (01:56:35):
They did a post earlier this week like what you
should know before you go kind of deal, and of
course sixty dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:56:44):
Is and I get it. They tried to compare themselves,
you know, like well, Katy Perry's show at Moody was
one hundred and ten dollars parking in Austin, and Shakira's
show at the Superdome in New Orleans was one hundred
dollars parking. No parking ever be that much, No, especially
not when it's a city owned property.

Speaker 3 (01:57:06):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
And it's not like it's a concert, like you're comparing
yourself to like Jerry Jones is one hundred and fifty
hundred and twenty dollars to park.

Speaker 1 (01:57:17):
Good God, Yeah, yeah, no, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:57:23):
I don't even get I've we've done one star reviews
on the Alamodome because of the sixty dollars parking, and
apparently this is the first year they've done it, so
it's the ranges ten to sixty now depending on the
size of the event, and it used to only be
ten to forty, So I can.

Speaker 3 (01:57:42):
Are they God, are they still shutting down like the
neighborhood around the Alamo Dome, Oh dude and prevtting people
from letting people park in their lawns since Friday Friday?

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
It will be I will have I will have no
idea what to expect because they will close down. They
will close down a different street than they did for
the Jelly Roll post Malone show. They'll close different streets
than they did for the graduation. There's no consistency. And honestly,
most of them, most of the cops that are quote

(01:58:16):
crowd control, they just sit in their car the whole
time and watch people just drive through barricades and it's
it's yeah, you know, it's but it's easy money for
them and easy money for the city to charge sixty dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
Hit me, lg oh Man. We're gonna end up.

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
We're gonna end up going longer because we still got
to do our Charles Ramsey audio a couple of quick
hitters before we get out. Uh mentioned the Brian Wilson
of the Beach Boys passing. I think the Beach Boys,
for a lot of people our age, it was at
least I'll speak for myself, it was easy to make

(01:58:58):
fun of them growing up because it was, you know,
this fifties sixties surf pop, like it all felt so fake.
It didn't feel it felt like it was made for
a TV It felt like it was made for a
TV show that was going to be airing, you know,
after school or afternoon if you were sick, homesick from school.

(01:59:20):
It felt like it it felt like it was just
made for happy days where it was the other way around,
you know, without Beach Boys. And specifically you know you
mentioning the God only knows, you know. Paul McCartney said
that's his favorite song. It's it's the only song that
still moves him emotionally every time he hears it. And

(01:59:44):
I think that's a that's a great description of you know,
at the end of the day, what is what is
good art?

Speaker 1 (01:59:50):
What is great art?

Speaker 2 (01:59:51):
It moves you emotionally to some extent, And I think
that's the best way to describe uh. Specifically, yea God
only knows, but the you know, the lore and the
importance of you know, Beach Boys. Brian Wilson's baby was

(02:00:12):
Pet Sounds. The first full you know, like full pop album.
It was the Beatles Rubber Soul. Then Brian Wilson does
Pet Sounds and it's got all of this next level production,
a lot of you know, just introducing playing with the

(02:00:33):
genre that hadn't necessarily been fully explored like that. And
then the Beatles response was Sergeant Pepper's. So, you know,
the the kind of driving creative force that Brian Wilson
and McCartney had back and forth all those years led
you to two of the greatest, or even if you

(02:00:57):
don't think they're the greatest, the most respected, most influential
discographies or catalogs we've had in pop music. So pour
one out for Brian Wilson, send Carney Wilson a Ham,
and then I think we think we'll go ahead and
slide into I got the coach Hallmark UTSA situation is

(02:01:18):
weird because he claims his contract, well, he doesn't claim,
he says his contract is expired, and he's putting pressure
on the university to try to invest more in the
baseball program, which they should. They just won forty seven games,
but the weird.

Speaker 1 (02:01:39):
Part of the weird part of it is UTSA had
put out a release back a couple of years ago
that said he had signed a four year extension through
twenty twenty six. So something changed along the way.

Speaker 3 (02:01:55):
A clerical error apparent. It feels like, yeah, that's what
they're calling it error. So I don't know they haven't
They haven't clarified it yet. Either they haven't released like
is he signed or is he not right?

Speaker 1 (02:02:08):
And if he's not, you know he's gonna He's a
hot commodity.

Speaker 3 (02:02:14):
No road Runners think you can't let him go. The
Roadrunners cannot let him go after what happened here. The
baseball program would suffer.

Speaker 1 (02:02:23):
Let him go. I mean, what he's built the last
six years.

Speaker 2 (02:02:28):
I would just assume that Lisa Campos is finding every
way possible she can.

Speaker 3 (02:02:35):
Find the money, find the money, and then take all
that extra money you're not paying me and pay Hallmark.

Speaker 1 (02:02:39):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (02:02:40):
Well, speaking of finding the money, the whole family is
suggesting that the citizens of San Antonio find the money
because they're sounding the alarms that they're going to need
more public funding and Project Marvel to to actually get
the pro to cross the finish line or approved, and

(02:03:03):
clearly they're setting up a bigger ask than was originally presented. Yeah,
and it'll be a good test for It'd be a
good test for our new mayor to see exactly how
she handles this, because now it is fully in her lap.

Speaker 3 (02:03:22):
The Captain has one from beyond.

Speaker 4 (02:03:26):
Hold up.

Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
He sent me this. Apparently they're serving a sixteen inch
loaded Glizzie with a pound of fries for forty ducks
forty bucks and it looks like that's at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 2 (02:03:41):
Oh my god, would you attempt No, I don't think. Okay,
First of all, what's my body gonna feel like after
eating that much Dodger dog?

Speaker 3 (02:03:54):
Well, I need equal bun with dog. I don't need
that much dog hanging out the end of my bun there,
because that's just all sausage you're going to be eating
there too. You even get to the bread.

Speaker 2 (02:04:04):
Yeah, it's like the Rangers sell something called a boomstick,
and it's one of these elongated hot dogs.

Speaker 3 (02:04:12):
I went to Alice Cooper's restaurant in Phoenix once and
I had the big unit, which was Randy Johnson hot
I was like, you know, three feet long and they
ring a bell and like you know, it's like bottle service.
They have the sparklers and they bring it out to you.

Speaker 1 (02:04:28):
Ridiculous. I can't say anything.

Speaker 2 (02:04:31):
I've been watching a lot of that bearded guy's food
eating videos on YouTube. He goes a British dude that
goes around and does all of the food challenges in America.
It's like man versus food basically. Yeah, but British and
YouTube production. Yeah, I don't think I'm attempting that.

Speaker 4 (02:04:51):
I would.

Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
I would much rather.

Speaker 2 (02:04:52):
Attempt the nine nine, the nine and nine nine beers,
nine hot dogs and nine innings.

Speaker 3 (02:05:00):
That seems doable because those hot dogs are tiny that
they serve. Yeah, you know, especially if you go on
like dollar hot.

Speaker 2 (02:05:05):
Dog nice, yeah, and and drinking one beer an inning.

Speaker 1 (02:05:10):
You know, nine beers.

Speaker 3 (02:05:11):
But but you're not going to be able to because
they stopped serving at the seventh.

Speaker 1 (02:05:14):
So you gotta load up. Yeah, you gotta double up,
and then you gotta drink lukewarm beer. Which eating cold
hot dogs.

Speaker 2 (02:05:22):
And drinking lukewarm beer in the eighth and ninth inning,
that might be where that might be where we falter.

Speaker 3 (02:05:29):
Dip the hot dog in the beer. You know, like
Kobayashi does.

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
Yeah, or like that guy we saw at Yankee Stadium
last year that made the straw.

Speaker 3 (02:05:36):
Oh we tried that, Yeah, we did. Tried that. It
didn't work very well. It did did not know. It
kind of grossed.

Speaker 1 (02:05:42):
It was incredibly disgusting. It hit me LG. Let's close, No,
let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:05:49):
Okay, I'll I will give you, I will give you
editorial control.

Speaker 1 (02:05:54):
Do we do?

Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
We think Captain needs to be here for the Charles
Ramsey video because this one I don't want to keep
as a running bit. I want to do it, but
it feels like he's watching, He's here, he's in the chat.
So this is back in twenty thirteen, there was an
absolutely terrible case of not just kidnapping, but you know,

(02:06:23):
like holding women, imprisonment, imprisonment.

Speaker 1 (02:06:27):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (02:06:28):
Sexual assault, imprisonment, kidnapping.

Speaker 2 (02:06:30):
And right in the middle of a extremely populated Cincinnati neighborhood,
he was, you know, ends up holding three women for
different amounts of time. One of them escaped, one of
them had given birth while she was being held captive.

Speaker 1 (02:06:52):
In this year years we're talking.

Speaker 2 (02:06:54):
A decade, over a decade, and this is the news
report with Charles Ramsey, who just so happened to be
Ariel Castro's neighbor.

Speaker 4 (02:07:07):
Charles, let me talk to you. I'm talking with Charles Ramsey.
He's a neighbor. Walk me through again, what happened this afternoon?
You heard screaming, error screaming, I meet my McDonald's. I
come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to
get out of the house. So I go on the porch.
I go on the porch and she says, help me

(02:07:28):
get out. I'm been here a long time, so you know,
I figure it's a domestic violence dispute. So I opened
the door and we can't get in that way because
how the door is, it's so much that the body
can't fit through only your hand, so we could kick
the bottom. And she comes out with the little girl
and she says, call nine one one. My name was

(02:07:49):
Amanda Barry.

Speaker 3 (02:07:50):
Now did you know who that was?

Speaker 4 (02:07:51):
When you when she said that? When she told me,
it didn't register And I called her nine one one,
and I'm like, I'm calling them nine one one.

Speaker 2 (02:07:58):
So like a man to Barry. They knew she was
a missing person that had been covered several years ago, right,
and you know, I don't if someone put yourself in
this dude's position, like right now, if they're if there's
a missing person or like, what was the name of that.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
I mean, we assumed she was murdered, but the the
almost park Alamo Heights mom that uh got, you know,
went missing?

Speaker 3 (02:08:27):
Simpson. Come, yeah, something like that, Simpson.

Speaker 2 (02:08:29):
But like if somebody ran up to me and said
I'm so and so Simpson, I don't think I would
piece that together immediately like this.

Speaker 3 (02:08:39):
So yeah, Well, I think it just depends on how
big of a deal it was in there in their
little local community.

Speaker 4 (02:08:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:08:46):
I think the way they talk about it, it feels
like it should have been a dead giveaway fired up.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
Well, man, I thought this girl was dead, you know
what I mean. And she got on the phone and
she said, yes, this is me and the detective Cook
right here. Detective Gregory Cook says, Charles, and you know
who you rescue. I said, I said, when did you
see it?

Speaker 3 (02:09:12):
When did you see Jesus?

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
First of all about Charles about five when he got distracted.

Speaker 3 (02:09:20):
Hold on, that's the sound of the police. He can't
he lost his train of thought. Oh that was for
sure good.

Speaker 1 (02:09:29):
The reporter telling no, we're good, you're fine.

Speaker 4 (02:09:31):
About five minutes after the police got here, see that girl,
Amanda told the police, I ain't just the only ones.
It's some more girls up in that house. So they
went up there, you know, thirty forty deep, and when
they came out was just astonishing because I thought they
woulda come up with nothing. I figured, I mean, whoever
she was, and like I said, my neighbor, you got

(02:09:52):
you got some big testicles to pull this off, bro,
because we see this dude every.

Speaker 3 (02:09:56):
Daybe I mean every day.

Speaker 1 (02:09:59):
Quick, I've been here a year. I love that he starts.

Speaker 2 (02:10:03):
At first he's like he got some big old nuts
on him, and he's like, no, no, hold on, I'm
doing I'm doing a news interview.

Speaker 1 (02:10:09):
He's got big old balls. Nope, that's still too.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
Goes full scientific on a big big old testicles.

Speaker 3 (02:10:19):
Do the proper terminology.

Speaker 4 (02:10:22):
I means every day, how long have you lived here?
I've been here a year. You should come up from
barbecue with this dude. We eat ribs and whatnot and
listen to sauce of music. You shall come around.

Speaker 5 (02:10:35):
Road.

Speaker 4 (02:10:35):
Not a clue that that girl was in that house
or anybody else was in there against their will because
how he is is he just comes out to his backyard,
plays with the dogs, take care with his cars and motorcycles,
goes back in the house. So he's somebody that you
look and you look away because he's not doing nothing
but the average stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:10:53):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (02:10:54):
Nothing exciting about him. Well, well until the days the girl.

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
So this is this is the big I mean, this
is the big viral moment. But there's this is the
great thing about this interview. There are so many parts
of it that I was like that him churching it
up and calling the testicles. But you mentioned the the
salta music. He clearly it's clear that he has been

(02:11:25):
forced to listen to salt some music for years, and
it's it's a sticking point for him. It's like, no,
I didn't get to he did the barbecue, and so
he picked the music. Mister Castro chose salta music. And
I had to listen to this for years because he
makes some damn good ribs and I want the ribs.
So I put up with the salta music and then

(02:11:47):
we get this gold.

Speaker 4 (02:11:48):
I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white
girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here, Dad, giveaway,
give you away. Either she homeless or she got problem.
That's the only reason why she went to a black man.

Speaker 5 (02:12:06):
Charles, thank you for being there.

Speaker 6 (02:12:07):
Man.

Speaker 4 (02:12:07):
Charles Ramsey, neighbor heard the screaming, took action, went and
did what he needed to do.

Speaker 8 (02:12:14):
The rest is unfolding before us here that report team
are going to send it back to your.

Speaker 2 (02:12:17):
Report trying to recover and get back into professional mode.

Speaker 3 (02:12:21):
He knows he's like I just I just struck Gold. Well,
he's trying to hold his excitement. Daddy did a good
job too, and.

Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
Charles Ramsey knew he had struck gold because as soon
as he said dead giveaway, he repeated it and then
gave a thumbs up at the end. So if you
ever hear randomly, if you ever hear a dead giveaway
from either of us or any of us like that
is I sometimes I can't get I can't get that.

(02:12:50):
I can't get that clip out of my head once
it's there.
