She is on the cutting edge of swag. And we're gonna take our our guacamole personalities, in a minute. But first, I wanna talk about somebody else that we've got, something else that we have. Yes. And that's our friends at Moxie, which have you heard about this? I had not heard about Moxie until recently. Mhmm. And it's like an energy drink that doesn't have all the shit in it. Speaker 1
It's not super bad for you. Speaker 0
It's not super bad for you. Speaker 1
Make you feel gross. Speaker 0
Right. It's not bad at all, actually. It's got all those good ingredient ingredients. Kinda like Go Kiro. It's very similar. Like, they take out all the crap. Trend here. Yes. Exactly. Take out all the crap. You know, the older you Speaker 1
get, the crap really affects you. Speaker 1
You know, if you can treat your body like a temple Speaker 1
And only eat clean. Are. You can feel a lot better, but we do need our energy. Yeah. And a lot of times, we need a little boost. Usually, that for me is around three o'clock in the afternoon. When I pick up the kids, I'm like, I feel done for the day, but you're really just starting the second day Yeah. Full of kids stuff. Speaker 0
It is like we have two days. Speaker 0
You have the day getting ready the kids ready for school, and then you have them when they're at school. That's the first day, and then the second day is once you pick them up. Speaker 1
Just chasing. Just chasing it. Speaker 0
It's a lot. Yeah. So Moxie is made with, natural caffeine and functional mushrooms and clean ingredients, which makes a new kind of energy drink. And I had Hattie and one of her friends try this out. They loved it. So when I'm drinking energy drinks, I can't drink I I have to dilute it. So I'll do one of these and then a topo. Speaker 0
it's really good. Speaker 0
it's a nice little Speaker 1
make it into a little cocktail. Speaker 0
Yeah. Well, and then it lasts longer and yeah. But it doesn't, like, make you jittery and all that stuff that all these, like, traditional traditional, yucky energy drinks have. Speaker 1
So yeah. It's got the lion's mane mushrooms that support mental clarity and focus. I've actually heard of those. Like, I give writers some of those vitamins. Lion's mane. Speaker 0
Never heard of that. Speaker 1
All kind yeah. It's I mean, there's so much stuff out there nowadays, Emily. But, yes, that clean energy drink that fuels your day with no fake ingredients, no midday crash. It tastes great. Made for busy people like us who want energy that works. Of course, this is not just moms, but also athletes, busy go getters who need real fuel with real ingredients. Don't we all wanna be a busy go getter? Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, I think we don't really have a choice. Do we? Speaker 1
Don't have a choice. Speaker 0
We don't have a choice. No. Could be yeah. A busy go getter. Plus, oh, discount. Yes. Yes. Zero artificial sweeteners, zero garbage, one hundred percent. Moxie. Super excited to have been introduced to this. These are in our refrigerator now, and I feel good about letting my kids have one. Because before, it's like, you don't really know. Like, you see all these, and they get all trendy. Yeah. But now knowing that we have a a a healthy, clean alternative is super, super cool. So for our audience, you can put in the code t m g ten for ten percent off your offer. So give it a try. Like I said, it's a energy drink without all the bad crap. Natural caffeine, vitamins, and none of the bullshit. So, yeah, check Speaker 1
them out. Love it. Yeah. Speaker 0
And there's a drink moxie dot com is their website. Drink moxie dot com. So thanks so much for, for the folks over at Moxie, just sending us some good stuff. Speaker 0
it. Yeah. My kids my kids even made a video about it. I know. Patty, she's really into that. I was like, make a video, and she'd it like, within two minutes, she was like, here you go. I was like, what is happening? Speaker 1
Anna's into it too. I don't even know. Yeah. She made a HomeGoods rug video the other day. I didn't share it with the world. Speaker 1
Yeah. She was we were rug shopping. She's like, mom, take a video. I'm doing a commercial about these rugs. Speaker 0
Okay. Alright. Yeah. So we'll be sipping on our copula, and then that runs out, we're switching over to Moxie. Make sure we get through that second half of the day. Speaker 1
I love it. We're all set. Speaker 0
Okay. Ketchup. What do you wanna talk about? My baseball season's over. Yeah. That's it. It's, like, second week of September, and I'm already done. Speaker 1
Weird. So that's all that was on the schedule. Speaker 0
That's it. Yeah. That's it. You mean if they make the playoffs? Yeah. I can't imagine. I would do anything to those playoffs. Speaker 0
I mean but, like, if I'm Laura Stickels and I've been working, like, a hundred and thirty games and then they ask me to come back, like, that's pretty bush. Like, no. Yeah. No. Maybe. Or she could just learn from the pro. No. It's all good. Yeah. That's the the yeah. She's got it under control. But let let's hope that's a that's a thing. Speaker 1
Yes. Let's do hope that's a thing. Speaker 0
Yeah. Let's talk about the Rangers a little bit later in Speaker 1
the sports sports. That's right. Okay. So how are you feeling with baseball over? What's going on in your world now? What do how do we fill the baseball void? Speaker 0
Well, I mean, I was I know you have a lot. Only work twenty games. So it's like, yeah. I just keep doing what I've been doing Yeah. Which is the insurance business, which I've been doing for a few years. I need to talk more in-depth about that too at some point. Speaker 1
Yeah. Is there, like, a mental, I guess, maybe more than a physical void kinda thing? Speaker 1
It's not like now Speaker 0
I think now I'm so like, we're so late in the season. I'm so used to it. Where, basically, I was just working, like, three to four games a month. So it was like, there's not really I kind of now that we're six months in, it's like, okay. This is kind of the deal. Speaker 1
Yeah. And then next season doesn't get figured out till this season ends. Speaker 0
Correct. So who knows? I may never put that headset on again, Julie. I may never. I don't know. Speaker 1
We'll see. Never put that headset on again. Speaker 0
Might not. Might not. This might be my only headset. Speaker 1
Right. Well, you should have said all those things. Speaker 0
Yeah. So we'll see. Yeah. If, in fact, that was my last Speaker 1
game ever on Sunday, it's, like, highly anticlimactic. Yeah. Speaker 0
Like, it was yeah. But who knows? Yeah. I never never assume anything. So Yeah. Speaker 1
Okay. Well, congrats on another season. Thanks. Yeah. Speaker 0
Thanks. Let's cheers. You did it. You wanna cheers cheers our tres? Speaker 1
Can we cheers the butt, or Speaker 0
can we cheers the head? Tres. Okay. Yeah. For sure. It. Speaker 1
Okay. What about you? What's going on in your bed? Speaker 1
still not done with the kitchen, but we're so dangerously close. Dangerous. Dangerously close, like, to the point where the countertops are there, so I'm, like, using them. Like, we're kinda sitting at the countertops and eating, but it feels weird because K. They're so new, and I don't wanna mess Speaker 0
them up. But and the rest of Speaker 1
the kitchen's not done. We're not cooking. We only have a microwave still. So no oven, of course. So, like, we've been eating out a lot. We'll try to microwave things sometimes, but, like, we still haven't unloaded all of our kitchen boxes. So we've got paper plates. I mean, it's just a piecemeal Yeah. Meal. In this case, it is piecemeal, not piecemeal. Yeah. I thought it was always piecemeal anyway. Speaker 0
I think it's mail. Piecemeal? Speaker 1
Maybe I'm wrong. But now for my kitchen, it's piecemeal. Speaker 0
Yeah. Makes sense. I thought it was piecemeal the entire time. Did you? Yeah. We'll find out. Keep keep going. Speaker 1
So we're really piecemealing it together still in our kitchen. But it's coming together. It's looking beautiful. I think we found some bar stools today. I have so many random little things, you know, doing a lot of furniture shopping. Speaker 0
Oh, it is piecemeal. Piecemeal? Yeah. It's never been piecemeal. It's always piecemeal. Speaker 1
Well, congratulations. Yeah. So it is piecemeal, and I am piecemealing in the kitchen. Okay. But, yeah, just, you know, furniture shopping too at the same time, and Yeah. Furniture shopping is overwhelming. Yeah. Speaker 1
a lot. So many options. And I do have a designer friend helping me, but I'm a little bit impatient. So, like, she'll send me some wonderful things, and I'll say yes. But then I'm like, I need the rest of it filled out. I'm like, ugh, googling, driving around. Yeah. But I think we're gonna get it figured out. She's gonna come here tomorrow, and so we'll kinda, like, figure it out from there. But it's good coming together. I can't wait for it all to be done. Speaker 0
I know. It'll be so nice. It'll be so worth it Yes. Once you do get it done. Anything didn't you have something else you wanted to talk about? Well Hunting, barber hunting, baby Billy what is it? Baby Billy? What are these K pop Speaker 0
K pop demon hunters. Speaker 1
Dude. Okay. So are are you familiar? Speaker 0
I'm not I've heard it. I don't what does it mean? Speaker 1
Well, it's a it's a Netflix movie. Speaker 1
And it's, I mean, it's taken over the world. Like, I was just trying to think of the last time something has taken over our children like this has. You know, maybe like Frozen. Remember when everyone So this was Frozen? Speaker 0
Yeah. But what age range are we talking about? So because my kids have never brought this up one. Speaker 1
PG. So it's definitely your kids are probably too old to, like, get into an animated Netflix series, and that's what they series? It it it's a movie. Speaker 1
I don't think there's any more movies. I really don't know. But it's animated on Netflix. Like, it's an animated movie. Speaker 1
And so there it's k pop bands, k pop, so Speaker 1
And they hunt demons. And, like, this boy band, the Saja Boys, they're actually demons, but they look all hot. Like, one of them is called, like, abs because he's got abs. So, like, Anna is now talking about abs. Like, they're they're they look all hot, but they also look kinda, like, female y hot. I don't know. It's a little weird. I haven't really sat and watched the movie, which probably is a problem. I should really sit and watch it. Yeah. Because it is PG. It's not g. You know? And there are some parents that aren't letting their kids watch it, because the demon hunting thing. Like, you're talking about demons. You're talking about the devil. And there is there are one of my mom mom friends was showing me lyrics to one of the songs. It's not one of the hit songs, but there's another one, and it really is a little creepy about, like, your soul and, like, kinda demon y stuff. It's very strange. So, I think in my house, it's, like, long gone. Like, Anna's drawing pictures of her Halloween costume. Like, I could never say no at this point, nor do I think I I don't know. It's just a weird kinda, like, parent parental, like, topic, I think, right now. Speaker 0
So, okay, along those lines, have you heard all the scuttlebutt about Roblox? Yes. Okay. What's that? Like, the the because that I feel like we I don't know. Like, what's happening that I don't know. Speaker 1
I don't know. I don't know if Speaker 0
there's anything new. But, like, there's Yeah. Speaker 1
I think they're trying to actually now monitor it more. Is that what the latest I don't Here subtle butt is? Speaker 0
Here's the problem with me. I don't know shit about shit. So all I know is that, like, it keeps popping up on my algorithm that, like, the dangers of Roblox and how you can tell your kids they can't play Roblox anymore and blah blah blah. Speaker 1
Yeah. So I had been hearing for a while that Roblox was, like, not cyber safe, meaning, like, anyone anyone could go in and, like, play against your kid. Like, there's no age restriction. There's Speaker 0
no No private settings and all that. Speaker 1
Yeah. So, like, if someone really wanted to come, like, prey on children, that would Speaker 0
be a really good place Speaker 1
to go and, like, get in their ears. Yeah. I had heard that for a while. So I don't I we don't play Roblox. But I think now they must be like, all that backlash was really causing them to look take a look at it and be like, oh, we should do something about this because there's child predators in our game, and we're actually losing probably money. So I think now it's a big story because they're actually trying to, like, come in with some, like, parental guidelines or safeguarding. But that's about as much as I know about it. But I I had heard for a while that that was not a good game, and it's super addicting. So you're getting super addicted to something. And and so k pop demon hunters would maybe be along those lines. Like, it's for what so the music in this Netflix animated show is really good. Like, if I would love it probably if I didn't hear it every second of my life because Anna is now singing it, like, every second, dancing to it. Like, her friends, when she was friends over, they're doing dances to it. And every single friend is into it, even the ones whose parents, like, don't let them watch, like, know enough to sing the songs and all that. And it seems for the most part pretty harmless. But we first heard about it in Canada. So Anna's cousin, Eliza, who lives in Canada, first watched it. Then Anna, like, reunited with a friend who had been in Spain all summer, and she had been watching it. So that just tells me it's, like, literally global. Yeah. And so it's just it's quite the phenomenon. I think we're gonna see every little girl be k pop demon hunters for Halloween. Speaker 0
I'm pretty sure my friend, Julia, who works for the Astros, her I I think I'm almost positive her daughter's birthday party is k pop demon hunter. Yeah. The whole the name of it just sounds so wheels off. Speaker 1
Right. The whole concept is so wheels off. Right. But the I think the way they're doing this is that the music is really good. Like, it's catchy, like, the soda pop song. Have you heard it? And and My little soda pop pop. It's you would like I think you would like it. Like, it's catchy, adults. Like, there's all these funny, like, memes or whatever of, like, a like, there's one of a dad that's like, k pop demon hunters. What is what are you watching? Like, what am I letting my children watch? And he's, like, clicks play, and then five seconds later, he's up, and he's, like, dancing. He's, like, this is Speaker 0
actually good. Like, the music's great. Speaker 1
So I think that's the how they're infiltrating all of our children's minds. It's just these songs. Yeah. They're pretty powerful. But, it's it's it's it's already so exhausting in my house. Speaker 0
Is Ryder into it or just Anna? He goes along with it. Speaker 1
Like, he's not super into it like her, but, like, he'll be like, Anna, let's play k pop demon hunters. Or be like, let's sing this song or, like, let's dance to the song. So that's kinda cute. Yeah. The and then, of course, the other thing is the the boo boos. And Ryder is into those. The boys like, the fourth grade boys, the second grade girls are all getting boo boos. K. Speaker 0
And what are it's also this missed my house. So Oh Speaker 1
my gosh. You're so lucky. Labooboos are these Yeah. Speaker 0
I'm dealing with puberty and shit at my house. Well, you need to worry about some labooboos and k pop demon hunters. No. It's yeah. It's I I am I've never been more grateful to be past the stage in my life than to not have to deal with get me some labooboos and let's watch k pop demon hunters. Speaker 1
And it and it's like, the labooboos are Japanese. So we've got Korea and Japan, like, coming in hot with all these hot what they're doing. These hot toys that are taking over our our children. But I was I heard about the Labo Boos in Canada too, and it hadn't really hit us yet. And I was like, it's just probably just some Canada thing. Like, I don't know. But next thing we know, it's it's taking over the elementary school. So it's like so and so has a Labo Boos on their backpack. So and so has four Labo Boos. I'm getting all that right now. So what I'm trying to do is, like, I I I told my kids, I will never voluntarily buy you this labooboo. Speaker 0
Okay. How are they super expensive? Speaker 1
I think they can't like, the re there's real and Speaker 0
then there's fake. I have a girlfriend who went to I think they went to, like, Spain or somewhere. Yeah. And they got she they found them, like I think they were, you know, not real, but cheap or whatever. Yeah. And she got some. But yeah. Speaker 1
My kids are trying to tell me Speaker 0
friends whose kids are into it, but mine have not made any mention. Speaker 1
I think my kids are trying to tell me they're, like, twenty you can buy two for fifty, which isn't that bad, but I think they're I've heard they're Speaker 0
a lot more than that. Speaker 1
I haven't done a search because I'm trying to not I'm trying to abstain from this whole thing. But I I did tell them, if you really want a labooboo, you can earn the money and buy it yourself. I am not gonna spend any of my money on a labooboo, and I don't care how cool these other kids are that are if someone has four, that means they're the best, and then there's the person that's three, and then there's a person that's two. The whole concept to me is dumb. Like, your coolness is you don't prove your coolness with Right. Anything, in my opinion, let alone love boo boos. Yeah. So I'm using it as my score incentive. Okay. So we'll see. I came up with a system last night before bed for with the Skylight. Speaker 0
Okay. Because you Speaker 1
know how there's, like, rewards and stars. Do you use those? Speaker 0
We don't do rewards and stars. It's just chores. Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. So that's what it it's like I have a little system that I'm trying to do. And once they get to fifty stars, they'll get ten dollars, and then they can save that for their little boo boos. Okay. So I'll report back next week of how it's going. Please do. You know, when there's something in your face you can't avoid, and I'm not Yeah. Try to figure out how to, like, make it work, I guess, for your family. For sure. See if it does. I'm really bad at holding my systems and things Speaker 0
for them. Just admitting that. Like, you know, Speaker 1
I'm like, what did I say? This is two points, five points. Speaker 0
Like, okay. Now it's Speaker 1
written down. What's happening? Speaker 1
also like to announce that Ryder is a little bit off of his Fortnite obsession. Okay. Speaker 1
what the rewards were on Skylight, so I didn't like that. I was trying that, but it was like, okay. I don't want everything to tie back to these v bucks and Fortnite, like, because he was getting too obsessed. So then he was, like, obsessed with Skylight and stars and, like, trying to get the stars. And, mom, you didn't give me the stars. And, mom, how can I get more star because it all led to a video game addiction? Right. So I was trying to, like, not encourage that anymore, but he hasn't been playing very much. And, so I'm like, okay. Speaker 0
If we have to deal with Labooboo reward system, that's better than Fortnite in my opinion. I agree. I completely agree. Yeah. Speaker 1
How's puberty going at your house? Speaker 0
It's good. It's fine. I mean, it's, I don't know. I mean, it's I I've noticed that, like, I don't know. Like, Hattie's a little moodier than normal. Nothing major has happened. And it happened Speaker 1
to girls earlier nowadays? Speaker 0
Yeah. But, I mean, I was so late that I was so late. Like, I wanted so bad for it to happen, and it just wouldn't. Like but I would start I'd started, like, two years pre starting to, like, be like, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I got cramps. Like, literally for two because I just wanted so bad because everyone had everyone had hit it. Everyone had started their period. And, meanwhile, I was I was fifteen. Speaker 1
Yeah. I wanna say I was around then. Speaker 0
And that I mean, now I do feel like it's happening sooner, but I think my kid my it I think will be pretty You'll be okay. Normal. Like or normal for us, like, Speaker 1
in line with what I was. Yeah. Speaker 0
I don't think it'll be fifteen, but, yeah, I just it's just all the their hormones are changing and, you know, stuff's happening and, you know, different places. And, you know, and then meanwhile, like, I'm having hormonal changes, like so it's, like, all Mhmm. Mixing it together. But, yeah, I feel like That sounds Michael enough. Have been he's just fine. And then they're like, yeah. He's whatever. Like, nothing changes in his world. Speaker 1
That's why But you see it all around you. Speaker 1
But you just get to sit there and, like, be Speaker 0
a man. Right. Hey. I'm just the same as I always. Well, I'm just gonna crack an Speaker 0
I'm just gonna crack an egg open in the bottom of the stove and, like, clean it up. I mean, shit like that. That was funny. Oh my god. Makes me insane. But I will say, I will not totally unsolicited. My hormone scene is so much more in check and is so much better since I got my whole, you know, panel done. And Morgan, our friend at, House of Skin and Health in Dallas, Like, she did a whole workup on me. I'm on my supplements and vitamins that I take daily. I'm on the NAD plus shot that I give myself every Monday Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And I'm I mean, I feel like it's made a huge That's amazing. Difference in my energy, my sleep, my mood, my temperament. Now granted, do I still go off the rails every now and then? For sure. Yeah. Do I still crash out as the kids say? One hundred percent. But I just feel like it's I'm just so much more regulated. Like, I just feel so much more normal and so much more like myself, and it's really a nice feeling. But, I mean, it's I mean, I I highly I mean, obviously, I recommend Morgan. She's amazing. Wherever you are, wherever you're listening, if you're not close to Dallas, like, get get it done. Like, go see someone like Morgan. She does do virtual visits, but she's amazing. And she's so thorough about it and so thoughtful and all that kind of stuff. And like I said, it's it's a work in progress. Like, we're still we'll do blood work again in a few months and see if things are regulating. And then I'll get my testosterone pellets replaced and all that kind of stuff. So I got the Good for you. Testosterone, NAD plus injections that I'm giving myself, and then the supplements. And I feel like it's made a huge difference. Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, in your ESA, ladies. You're the best student for people Take it. Telling you what to do because you actually do it all perfectly. Speaker 0
I feel like do it perfectly, but I I cleanse Speaker 1
the warm cleanse is kind of hot. Speaker 0
Yeah. It it well, I mean, it's not if you just man like, but I lost seven pounds on that fucking thing. Yeah. The warm cleanse. Yeah. And what helped and this is also too what I will say. So I was really skeptical about the warm cleanse, and I but I'm like, I'll try it. Like, it's not it's not gonna hurt me. But what I've what I was most excited about, I I wasn't even worth trying to lose weight or anything. But when she talked about the absorption and the fact that I was doing all this stuff that Morgan had told me to do, taking all these supplements and doing all these things, but if my body wasn't absorbing it, then I'm just wasting spending my wheels here, wasting time and money and all that kind of stuff. So I just feel like I don't think I'll do it once a quarter. I think I'll probably do it, like, at the end of summer like I did this year, and then I'll do it after the holidays. But, you know, Mike's gonna do it. Like, I don't I just thought it I mean, it just doesn't hurt. But, yeah, it's the it's just the drops three times a day. Three Speaker 0
And then you take the binder, the little pill. Right. Yeah. Sometimes I wouldn't do three. Like, sometimes I would just do morning and night, because I kept it in my refrigerator with my other stuff, and I would just pop them in in the morning and then pop them in. Raw? Like, raw? Did you Speaker 0
Yeah. Raw dog it. Gross. I mean, disgusting. But I don't care. I just because I wanna just get it over with. Like, check it off the list. Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. It was I did have one of those moments, like, the things on online. Like, I used to be cool, but now my shots are parasite cleanses. Yeah. Exactly. I used to take real shots Speaker 1
Yeah. Now I take Speaker 0
When's the last time you took a shot? Can't I mean, it had to be in Mexico or something. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. It was probably in Mexico. We yeah. Sometimes the tennis people would, like, do fireball shots on the court. Woah. Not my team really, but, like, the mixed doubles teams, like So aggressive. Fireball. Fire fireball is a big tennis shot. Speaker 0
I did have a mimosa before my first match. Got my Speaker 1

like, for stars and all that. Speaker 0
I'm like, yeah. And I'm like, no. This is weird. Why do I feel like this Speaker 1
is weird? Like, I wanna let them win or something. Speaker 0
What? Because they're like they like watching me on TV. That's fine, but you never let anybody win. Oh, I know. That's the difference between say that's what happens. Oh, shut the fuck up. You're so nice. No. I've seen you on a pickleball court. There's no way you're going easy on anybody. You're competitive Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. You're right. Speaker 0
With with tennis. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm competitive with everything. But it's like I say, don't have kids. Speaker 1
Anybody win in tennis. I'm very, like, up and down lately. I people just beat me. Well I don't have to let them win. Speaker 0
Yeah. It's it's not good over here as far as Speaker 1
the tennis team. In the lineup for t are you doing TCD? Speaker 0
What does that mean? Okay. No. You're just doing UST. You yeah. USTA. Okay. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Is Dallas. Speaker 1
You wouldn't be there. Speaker 0
I'm three three o, but I should be a two five. But they Well, Speaker 1
then your matches, it might be a little too tough. They are. So maybe Speaker 0
It doesn't matter. Speaker 1
You can't go down. Yeah. So you're just stuck Well, no. Speaker 0
No. I'm not even like, I I didn't I don't deserve to be a three o. Speaker 1
Right. I'm just win some matches so you No. Speaker 0
No. I've won two match I've been playing for five years. I've won two matches the entire time. How are you? How are you? Because they I was it had been so long since I got rated. I just they answered some questions and Oh, you saw three o yourself. I'm on a three o team, so I just put three o. Speaker 0
But I suck. Yeah. But I'm I don't practice enough to think I should be good. Speaker 1
If you lose enough, they'll move you down. Speaker 0
Well, I don't That's I just moved down. Speaker 1
That's how I know. Speaker 0
I I have already gotten kicked off both the two five teams, so I don't think they want me anymore. This is my lot in life. Okay. Well, this Speaker 1
is They're gonna start getting start winning so they don't move you down. Well The USTA gods, they will do that to you. Speaker 0
But they can move me down. I can still play up if I want. Speaker 0
Yeah. That's what I'm gonna do. Okay. Yeah. Alright. Okay. I digress. Let's get into a little sports course brought to us by our friends at Baylor Scott and White. Speaker 1
Yay. So glad to have them back with us on the mom game. Baylor Scott and White has a lot of cool initiatives going on in the DFW community.

I was trying to eat out of my snack tray while you were doing that read. You go straight down No. I just something went down the wrong pipe. Speaker 1
It's weird drinking wine with a straw. Speaker 0
It is weird drink drinking wine with a straw. I wonder if I should put I wonder if I do if I added some a little bit of moxie in there. Speaker 1
That'll be good. I think Speaker 0
I'm gonna do that. Speaker 0
Yeah. Wonder what that combo is like. Energy and why. That's like Red Bull and vodka. Speaker 0
Did you ever do red drink those? Speaker 1
That was my college drink. Speaker 1
It was like for this eleven AM kickoffs, we'd wake up at eight. You know, Red Bull Vodka and Speaker 0
go face the game. Speaker 1
More Red Bull Vodka, party all night long. Speaker 0
Makes me want to vomit. Like, that was my college sport. Gross. Party. And Red Bull's so sweet and ew. Speaker 1
Sugar they have sugar free Speaker 0
Red Bull. No. Yeah. But still, not I don't know. Loved it. Speaker 1
I mean, I never did anything harder than that. So I think I would get a little bit of that, like, extra buzz. People would people that do drugs get that, like, you know, crazy, like, next level energy thing. Speaker 1
And the only way that you could get close to that without doing drugs was Revlon. Speaker 1
It's better than Coke. Speaker 0
Yeah. I don't I guess, yeah, I I don't I don't I didn't ever I haven't drink Coke or soda No. I mean, it's cocaine. Well well, yes, Julie. You are correct. Speaker 0
Saying. Like, I would do red blood vodka because you get that same, like, high, Speaker 1
but we didn't do drunk. Speaker 0
I didn't ever I've never done that. I don't want Speaker 1
to do that. I've never been interested in that. Speaker 0
But Red Bull Vodka would get me, like, woo, feeling, like, close enough. I don't know what that ingredient list. It might be it might be borderline as bad as cocaine because they've got gross stuff in theirs. Not Not a sponsor. Not like Moxie. Exactly. All clean. Okay. So the Cowboys got started. Did you watch Speaker 1
Yes. But I felt I did not stay up for the Speaker 1
End of the game. However, I well, you don't want the long answer. The the short answer is we don't have a TV still, or we didn't at this point. So I in in my bedroom Speaker 1
So we watched outside, but or in the main room, but then once it went and it was like, jokes, it's gonna take forever. I was like, I'm not sitting in this one chair in my living room watching this TV all night. Like, if it had been on, I could put my TV in my room on. I would've. Speaker 1
So I followed along online, and I did see the CD drop, like, you know, as it happened or whatever. Speaker 0
Yeah. I didn't see it till the next day. I because I fell asleep. Yeah. That was late. It was too late. Yeah. Well, they're o and one, but they looked decent. Speaker 1
They looked decent. Doc looked good. Speaker 0
But Yeah. I mean, god. I mean, what do Speaker 1
you do about your star receiver dropping a pass like that late in the game to beat the Eagles, the defending Super Bowl champs in the first game Speaker 0
of the season? That kinda sucked. Speaker 0
It does suck. But I think it's you'll you'll see I don't think that'll happen a lot with CD Lamb. Like, if it was I I don't know. I just I don't really worry about him. Speaker 1
You worry about it, though, because it come drops, like, often become a mental thing. Speaker 0
Yeah. You know? I guess I'm not worried about it with him for some reason. Speaker 1
He's got a dropie. He's been kinda dropie in his career. But, hopefully, the all the reporters were saying, well, he's back on the field the next day with the dog's machine and all that. I'm like, it just goes to show even as a professional, it does this all the time. Like, you can still get better. You can still Speaker 1
You know? But it was just kinda shitty. They had a chance in that game. Yeah. They could Speaker 0
Which is way more than anybody thought. Speaker 0
It was the, like, the biggest spread of the of week one. Speaker 0
Eight and a half. Yeah. But yeah. I'm I I just hope they're competitive and can, you know, don't get shithouse every Speaker 1
Right. So it was a promising start For sure. In that regard. Yeah. Don't expect them to go get shithouse now after watching that. Yeah. What'd you think of the spitting heard around the world? The spitting incident? Speaker 0
I've never loved Dak more than I loved him in that moment. Yeah? Absolutely. Speaker 1
You think he did it on purpose? Speaker 0
I think he baited it. No. I don't think he baited it. I don't think he thought he was gonna spit on him, but I think he he fucking knew what he was doing. Yeah. He was trying to get in his head, and it fucking works. Speaker 1
Oh my god. He got kicked out of Speaker 1
With Caleb Carter. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Because I didn't know I mean, I don't know. There was part of me that didn't think Dak had that in him. Yeah. You know what I mean? To be, like because he just seems so nice and polite and courteous and says all the right things and but I I I don't Speaker 0
I've got that dog in him. He's got that dog in him. And so I thought it was great. Like, he I thought it was the, like, the ultimate gamesmanship. And, Speaker 1
Well, and he played it perfectly. Speaker 1
The general direction Yeah. Who's gonna prove that I'm actually trying to spit at that guy? Right. Whereas Jalen Carter was, like, obvious. Speaker 0
And do you know how many how much spit gets deposited on a football field on a game day, it's disgustingly I don't think so. To think about. Speaker 1
Yes. I heard him say, though. Oh. Like, because when people were asking, he's like, I probably spit a thousand times in a game. Speaker 0
Which is true. They all but think about boys in general. Like, Mike, Henry spits all the time. Mike spits all the time. Baseball fuckers. Are there Speaker 1
are there mouths created differently? Speaker 0
I don't know. I mean, but, like, baseball Speaker 1
god make men's mouths have more saliva? Speaker 0
We should probably move on from this subject. Why do women not do it? Because we are cooth. I don't know. I mean Okay. Speaker 1
So next question. The field, does anyone how do they maintain that? Do they get people spit off Speaker 0
of it before the next practice or game? Probably not. I mean, I'm sure, like, high traffic areas get cleaned, but I don't know. Gross. It's just gross. Like, if you ever walk like, people will, like, do the grounding stuff at the ballpark. Speaker 0
And it's turf. Yeah. I'm like, do you realize, like, they'll walk around the warning track. I'm like, do you realize what you're walking on? Like, so much spit and they're like, I'm getting at Speaker 1
you know? Like, who's doing the grounding? Speaker 0
Well, I mean, a lot some players do Speaker 0
Do the grounding. Wash used to ground. Speaker 1
Like, bare feet Yep. That like, that's what you mean by grounding Yep. For people. Speaker 0
Yep. And it's like getting in touch with the earth. I'm like, this is turf. Like Wash would gross. Ground. Wash did that. Speaker 1
He was barefoot? Speaker 0
Yes. Oh, yeah. And didn't that that help him? I don't well, I mean, god bless. He's still alive. Thank god. Because he was he had, like, quadruple bypass surgery. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean Interesting. It's just gross. And I'm I'm gross. So, usually, stuff like that doesn't really bother me. Yeah. But that grosses me out. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's gross. Speaker 1
We just drove our backyard. Speaker 0
Yeah. So oh, so okay. And you have a dog? Speaker 1
Not you're supposed to be like, Speaker 1
Congratulations. Okay. Speaker 1
spent a lot of money on something. You did. But The proper reaction isn't Speaker 0
Well, no. No. No. But I the only reason I made that reaction is because I'm thinking about where's Belle gonna pee and then Yeah. Speaker 1
We have a sprinkler system that will, like, wash it. Okay. Perfect. And, also, everyone probably thinks we're dumb for even trying, but we do have a patch of knot turf that we're gonna try to get her to go potty. Speaker 0
I bet she will. I think Speaker 1
I think actually pretty obedient. Speaker 0
I think dogs want to actually pee on regular Yeah. Speaker 1
Grass. Yeah. I think I I think so too. Anybody's dog we can ask? Speaker 0
Yeah. And you have a you have a sprinkler system. And we Speaker 1
have a sprinkler. Speaker 0
That cleans it. Mhmm. Perfect. Yeah. Okay. That's all I needed to know. Yeah. So I don't have to wear shoes when I come to your house and walk in the grass. Speaker 0
Okay. So cowboys are what they are. O and one, but Doc looked good. Optimistic. Yeah. Mhmm. Giants in town, first home game of the season this Sunday. Are you going? Speaker 1
I know you're gonna be front and center holding your side. Speaker 0
Yes. I will not be there. Speaker 1
You're gonna have the fence Yes. Speaker 0
And defense. Yeah. Who's gonna bring the d? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Who's gonna bring the d? Okay. Rangers, we alluded to this a little bit earlier. Yeah. Yeah. That's where I went. That's I like that joke. Twelve year old boy over here. Yep. Okay. Rangers are still in it. Like, it's Yes. Speaker 1
Insanity. Great series with the Astros. Speaker 0
Yeah. Won it two one. The middle game was a giant debacle, but who cares? They won two out of three. We tape on Tuesday. As it sits right now, they're three and a half behind the Astros in the division and a game and a half behind the Mariners in the wild card with seventeen games to play. Like, still quite a bit of games. Speaker 1
lot of room there. Speaker 0
It there is. I mean, you're still gonna need help, from other sources in order to to get in. But if they keep winning and it's crazy. These young guys and David Murphy dubbed them the little rascals, which is so funny. Speaker 0
And they are it's they're all over the place. Their handprints are everywhere Yeah. Just like little kids. Like, they're literally everywhere. I mean, it's it's it's crazy the way this team is winning without its big guns, without Marcus Seme, without Corey Seager, without Evan Carter, without Adolis Garcia, without Nathan Ivaldi, without Tyler Malley. Like, it's insanity what they're doing. And I thought maybe it was just because they were playing weaker opponents, but now it's Astros. They won the opener against the Brewers. I mean, they could who knows what's gonna happen the rest of that series, but it's just been insanity. Yeah. Speaker 0
And they're fun to watch. And they those young guys bring in such a, you know, great, you know Energy. Yes. And enthusiasm. And Speaker 0
they don't know what they don't know. Right. So they don't know like, they're they're just happy to be here, and they're just wanting to bust their nuts to produce as much as they possibly can, and they're playing free. And I think it's been great for the entire clubhouse, and it's, you know, it's one thing to come up and, you know, sit on the bench or whatever or, you know, just bat nine hole and don't fuck it up in the outfield. But, like, these guys are contributing. Yeah. And to experience success like Speaker 1
been waiting for this. Speaker 0
Right. And, you know, to be able to experience success like that early in your career is such a huge thing, you know, for a for a guy personally, and it's huge obviously for this team as a whole. So Yeah. They're fun to watch. Yeah. Speaker 1
And that's that's what the organization needed right now. Yeah. Like, people were starting I mean, people were checking out. Right? Like, bands. Yeah. And this will pull people back in even if they don't end up making it in the end or, you know, if they make it and lose earlier, whatever. Like, you've given people something to talk about. Speaker 0
Meaningful games in September. Speaker 1
Meaningful games in September. For sure. We went out there. Thank you for the taking care. We went out there. Sunday. It was so fun. Speaker 0
It was a great game too. Speaker 1
It was a really good game. Oh my gosh. We almost caught a foul ball. Oh, no. It landed two rows in front of us. I was wondering if it was on TV. I'm gonna guess not. And and I've learned that in the moment where a foul ball is flying at my head, you kinda wonder, like, what you would do. Speaker 0
That can come. Like, are Speaker 1
you gonna be coordinated enough to, like, take I was wearing a hat. Like, take off your hat and try to catch it. Speaker 1
also had my daughter next to me who, you know, you could save your child. Like, what are there's all kinds of options of what you do. So what'd you do? I did this. Speaker 0
You stared at it? I just froze. Speaker 1
I just froze. I was like, that's not coming towards me. It's not. Speaker 0
It's not. It's not. It's gonna hit me? Speaker 1
Like, I did not do anything. Speaker 0
Like, you didn't even try to protect yourself? No. Speaker 1
I'm a freeze, like, in I do like, if my kid falls in Speaker 1
It goes into like, from screensaver, it goes to freeze. You're just frozen. Speaker 0
Like, the yeah. It's already in screensaver, like, all the time. Oh, that's right. Speaker 1
So when faced with a moment of fear, it locks control. Speaker 0
Control alt delete. Control alt delete. It happens if, like, my kids fall too. It's terrible. If, like, I see them, like, fall off their bike or something, I'm like What is it? And then I snap out of it. I'm like, oh my god. Are you okay? It's weird. It's not good. How long does this freeze last? Speaker 1
I mean, usually someone's around to, like, take care of me. Like, I knew that Kelly was there, and, like, he's the guy that will act in that moment. He knows exactly what to Speaker 1
Like, he will catch the ball. Speaker 1
And he would have caught Speaker 0
the ball if this guy right in front of Speaker 1
us didn't last minute stick his hand up. It when it was going Kelly was like, I had it. Like, that I was gonna catch that ball. Speaker 1
I was like, good. Because I was just frozen. Yeah. But then the guy next to me, like, dove in front. So Kelly and him would have had it out, I think. Speaker 1
Because Kelly We could have had a trying to get a Speaker 0
ball for the kids. Yeah. We could have had a Phillies in there instead of it. Woman. Speaker 1
That woman was insane, Emily. Speaker 0
She was insane. And, like, she can't do we we still don't know who she is. No. I think there was one lady that, like, they they thought it was her and she, like, had they her employer, like, the school district had to make a a Speaker 1
statement that that, like Okay. So that wasn't her because I saw she Speaker 0
worked at a school. She does not work for us. And she he says that the school district if this is true, who knows, fucking on the Internet, that the school district put out the statement that said she that was not her. She's a Red Sox fan, blah blah blah. And if it was her, you know, because their school's district's so great, she would have caught it barehanded. Speaker 0
Been an issue, which I thought was well planned. Speaker 1
Opportunity for a joke. Speaker 0
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Philly's Karen. That was quite the thing. So she's like, MIA? I think so. Speaker 1
Oh my gosh. She's on the run. Speaker 0
Yeah. Somebody I don't blame her. Speaker 1
She looks terrible. That that poor dad, like, hugging hugging his son Speaker 0
was so startled. He's what's happening? Right. But you know what? What well played by him. Like, just go ahead. Fine. Fucking take it. Like Right. Crazy bitch. Like Yeah. Fine. People in the wild are crazy. People at just in general. Sporting events. Oh. All the things. All the things. Okay. And then finally, college football's back. Kind of a boring weekend, in my opinion. There wasn't a whole lot of great games. Like, Michigan, Ohio was supposed to Michigan, Ohio. Michigan and Oklahoma was supposed to be, like, super great. It was Oklahoma blew them out. Mhmm. It wasn't very I don't know. Not very exciting. I think we'll have a couple weeks where there's, like, one or two marquee games and then, you know, everything else for the next couple weeks until conference play gets going. It's gonna be kinda slow. But Speaker 1
What did who did Texas play? Speaker 0
Texas played what's wrong with me? Speaker 1
Because they yeah. Speaker 0
Oh. I don't remember. Texas played somebody not great, but Sorry. Speaker 1
I didn't mean to put you on the No. Speaker 0
It was a I feel like it was a Florida school maybe. Speaker 1
Florida's yeah. Or Troy or Yeah. I didn't watch it, but they looked okay, and Arch looked a little Speaker 0
They started slow. I did listen to that one because Henry had a tournament, so I was listening to it on the radio on the way home. He got off to a really slow start, and it was a tight game. And then, like, the floodgates opened, like, maybe halfway through the second quarter. And I I think he looked I didn't watch it, I heard. Yeah. Like, it sounded like he started to get Play a little better. Getting a rhythm. Yeah. That's gonna drive me crazy of who they played. So, anyway, that's sports courts. I'm gonna figure out who they play because it's gonna drive me crazy. But in the meantime, let's get ready for what's on your feed brought to us by Audrey Dollins Media. Speaker 1

Yay. They played San Jose State. Okay. Not Florida. Yeah. Speaker 1
I was like, yeah. Florida. California. Yeah. Speaker 0
San Jose State. And they won big. Okay. Couple of trends we're gonna talk about. The hottest new exercise trend is running and jumping on all fours Speaker 1
I would like to see you do that. Speaker 0
Like an animal. I would love to see you do this. People are showing off their bear crawls and cat leaps sometimes while wearing furry masks and tails. Now we're taking it too far. My thing is, have you I've seen lately people do jump doing this and, like, shaking and do this for how many ever minutes a day. I've seen that too. Have you seen that one? Yeah. I think that's supposed to get your lymphatic system going Okay. Which I use a dry brush before I get in the sauna to to supposedly get my lymphatic system going. Tell me more. Some kind of brush thing that I rub on my body. Really? Speaker 1
And then you go into the sauna? Everything. Speaker 0
And then I go into the sauna. Okay. I don't know what it does. I don't know what the lymphatic system is. Uh-huh. I don't Big deal. Is it? Oh oh, yeah. I mean Is it the your lymph nodes, I'm guessing? Yes. Speaker 1
I know this because I had, like, twelve of them removed. Speaker 0
You had your lymph nodes removed? Yeah. Do they have cancer on them? Speaker 1
Yeah. They did. Yeah. And but that's like if if that controls, like, the rest of your body. So, like, if you get cancer in them, it can spread to your whole body. It's it's weird. It's like in your armpit. Speaker 0
Your lymph system. Yeah. Speaker 1
So it's kinda, like, connects everything. Speaker 1
It's a big deal. Speaker 0
Yeah. So they say with these limp whatever limp brushes. Limp I don't even know what it's called. It's some kind of brush, and you're supposed to, like, start on your feet and, like, work your way up and, like, you ultimately, like, work your way to your heart and, like, rub your stomach and your back. Like, whatever. I don't know. At this point, like, if it's feasible, I'm just gonna try it. Speaker 0
You know? I'm just gonna try. If it's a a brush before I get in the sauna, fine. Whatever. I'll try it. I'm not sure that I'm gonna crawl around on all fours. I think that's probably where I'm gonna draw the line. Speaker 1
So that's why people are doing? And why are what what is the benefit of this? Speaker 0
Well, it's called Quadrobix. Uh-huh. But I think this is part of it. Like, the it's it get I don't don't ask me. Speaker 1
I would so I wonder if there's, like, a specific Quadrobix, like, gym. Because if it were me and say that someone told me, if you do quadrobics, like, you will slim down, like, you will be toned and all the things if you do thirty minutes of quadrobics in public once a day. In public? In public. Okay. Then I would do it, but I wouldn't want anyone around me working out regularly. I wouldn't want to do it in a quadrobics gym where everybody was doing it. Speaker 0
Oh, I see. So you don't wanna do your party. Okay. You don't wanna do your quadrobics next to regular aerobics. Correct. It's quads only. Speaker 1
Quadrobics only. Quadrobics only. Quadrobics. All kinds of animals. We could have a zoo. Speaker 0
Okay. You're taking it too far. Speaker 1
We could all pick up which animal we want to be Okay. And, like, have, like, turn it into a game. Okay. I would be into that. Speaker 0
And the zombie demon hunters kill us. Speaker 1
Whatever. Demon hunters would come in and Speaker 0
Sounds like you're readily equipped for this. Oh my gosh. Cringe. Okay. And speaking of stuff like this, there's a viral trend on TikTok called the great lock in. Speaker 0
You know what this is? No. Okay. So, apparently, it's a huge trend on social media right now, and the idea is that you commit to making a change now. So mid September, making a change and carrying it through the end of the year. Speaker 1
Oh, like to like, this is a good time Speaker 0
to do it? Like a resolution, but instead, it's not really a resolution. Lock in. The fuck. No. I'm out. I'm out. I'm locking in. I'm locked out. Locked out. Like Use your Speaker 1
it could be use your dry brush every day. Speaker 0
Yeah. That's fine. But, like, the hard seventy five and stuff like that. So it's like we've got, like, a hundred days left in the year, so people are trying to lock in on something. Like, I'm trying to lock in on not fucking killing people. Woah. Like, my fam like, you know, not losing my mind. Like Yeah. You know what I mean? Keeping my shit together, making sure these hormones are in check. Like, just that's what I'm locked in on. I'm not locked I'm not locked in on this is a hard time of year. We have so much coming up. Like I know. And you want me to lock in and do something hard? Like, just just being here is is enough of a challenge for everyone, I feel like. Speaker 1
That's true. Just surviving. Speaker 0
Yeah. Just existing. Yeah. And I feel like a hundred days is a long time to lock in. Speaker 1
So we have about a hundred around, give or take, a hundred days left in the year. So the idea is you could really focus in, like, on some if something Speaker 0
It's like dry August for you. Speaker 1
Uh-huh. Should I just walk in and not drink for Speaker 0
the rest of the year Lock in. Speaker 1
And then start drinking in five seconds? Speaker 0
Let's walk in. Listen. I'm proud of you for even trying and saying it out loud. Speaker 1
I I continue I've continued the Cognizant thing. I'm drinking a lot less. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Same. Yeah. Well, since school started, it's like I'm up at five AM every day. Like, I don't have the capacity to Speaker 1
No. I wanna go to bed the second that I'm all my duties are done and I have kids to sleep. Speaker 1
I wanna go to sleep. Speaker 0
Getting a bit okay. Have you watched Unknown Caller? Speaker 1
I've watched the first, like, half hour, and I think I know it happens just because of the Internet. You do? See, I avoid Don't tell me Speaker 0
still. Okay. I managed to avoid it. Speaker 0
And then when it happened, I was like, fuck is happening. The show is ridiculous. Yeah. Let's let let let's talk about it next week. Okay. Speaker 1
Because even just the beginning finished it last night. Was already so I started watching it from Braintopia where I'm watching it with someone. Speaker 1
Yeah. Braintopia where I'm going to get my my brain fixed. Speaker 0
Explicit text messages that are being sent. Speaker 0
And they're spelled out on the screen. Speaker 1
Uh-huh. I told her. I was like, I think this might be bad. I have no idea. I'm just supposed to kinda watch it, like, for my show and blah blah. And, like, after the first fifteen minutes, I was like, I'm gonna be watching that at home. Can we find a nice documentary as we train my brain? But I did tell Kelly I wanna watch it with him. And we have Wait. Speaker 0
Mike and I watched it together. Yeah. Like, one of the few shows that we have right now that we could watch together so that I know it's over. Speaker 1
Did Mike like it? Speaker 0
He Creeped out? Yeah. There's very few things phase my husband. Like, it's just like and then meanwhile, there's me who's like, whoo. Speaker 1
That is funny because that's Speaker 0
us too. Yeah. I mean, it just so it's yeah. I don't I Speaker 1
don't why we ended up with these unfeasibles. Speaker 0
I guess so. I mean, totally unfeasible. I mean, it's I mean, I'm sure there are things. I know there are things, but it's just hard to like, reactions and Speaker 1
So but, like, did he like it? Or Yeah. Did he speak words? Speaker 0
That was something or woah. I don't know. It's like I mean, meanwhile, I'm like, holy shit. Speaker 0
know, he's like, oh, okay. Okay. What's for dinner? Alright. Yeah. Speaker 1
What do we What's for dinner, mom? Speaker 0
And now he knows. He knows how bad it drives me crazy. And now he's just he's he's leaning into it, like, harder. The mom's? The mom's ends. Speaker 0
He's just leaning into it so hard. Someday, you're gonna be sad when we don't call you moms ins. And I was like, I don't I don't know that that's the case. Speaker 0
Yeah. It's the it's I I I I'm gonna I'm gonna have to record it at some point because I don't think people believe me. Speaker 1
We we do a slumber party thing again. Speaker 1
Just see me pitch that to Yo Quiro. Mom's ins. Like, where I go stay at your house and commentate, like, play by play Yeah. You do it at my house. Yeah. I think you'll like my house more now. Speaker 0
I loved your house. Speaker 1
I know you did. It's not anything you you were very sweet about my house, but I'm just saying, it's nothing to do with that. I'm just saying if you love Speaker 0
to it now. I would love I I would love to. And I'm not I'm I'm on the clutter is gonna be gone. I'm I'm so excited about that. Speaker 1
Let's do it. Okay. Speaker 0
Let's do it. Go lay Speaker 0
Make sure the sprinklers got run before. Whatever. Who what am Speaker 1
I talking about? I'm disgusting. Speaker 0
Oh, that's hurt. Okay. So, anyway, I will not be doing the great lock in. I will be locking all the way the fuck out, for the rest of twenty twenty five. No. You're not. No. You're not. Speaker 1
I am locking it. Speaker 0
I what are you locking in on? Just being better. Congratulations and good luck. Okay. I'm locking in on early bird CBD as we get ready for our final segment of the show, the TMG news desk. We all know how much I love early bird CBD. Popped a couple last night before we started watching unknown caller because I knew this was what was gonna happen. Like, I was gonna be ready to go to sleep, but I was gonna be wired after the conclusion and but I knew I needed to go to sleep. So what did I do? Popped a couple early birds. We had about thirty five minutes left in the show. Mhmm. Usually, I wanna keep watching TV. But once it was over, Mike was like, you you wanna keep watching something? I was like, nope. I'm done. Turn the TV off. Nighty night. Nighty night in my beta zone. So early bird is the best. It takes that edge off, gives you that little zen to get you through. It's fantastic. Like I said, trying to drink less, which means taking more early bird, but it really is just a nice well, it's just it just helps it. You need to take the edge. We all Speaker 1
do. We need to take it. Speaker 0
I need to shut the voices off in my head. Like, it's gotta stop. The voices in my head have got to to be toned down, and early bird is a a great way to to tone those voices down. So, it's a microdose of THC from hemp, which means it's totally legal. That's the core feature of the gummies. That's what makes them so incredible. So visit early bird c v dot c b d dot com. Use the code mom game let me make sure mom game twenty. Mom game twenty at checkout to get twenty percent off your first order, or even if you're a repeat customer, you can get it off. You can get twenty percent off. You can get twenty percent off with your next order. Speaker 1
I have a quick question for you. Speaker 1
Thank you, early bird. You're the best. K. Quick question for you. What? What do the voices in your head sound like? Speaker 0
It's not. It's all over the place. Speaker 1
Can you do, like, a are they, like, a Speaker 0
are they, like, a group? Or are they Speaker 1
all over the place? Speaker 0
No. It's not even that. It's, like, different things. Like, I'll get different, like, stuff in my head. Like, right now, it's a Justin Bieber song. Oh. So that's what's constantly playing. Well, now I can't think of it now that you asked me. Oh, it's okay. It's not the Go Baby. It's the other one. The, like, Speaker 1
It's like the Daisy one. It's super catchy. It's called Daisies. Speaker 0
Yes. Why why can't you Go Baby. Go Baby. Go Baby. No. That's not that one. Oh. Now it's gonna drive me crazy. I'm sorry. What did you do to me? I just asked you the voices in here. What's it like throwing out Cupid, arrows? Speaker 1
You don't know that I know that one. Speaker 0
Oh my gosh. Well, now there'll be another song in my head. So it's usually a song, and then the song gets interrupted with thoughts of, like, stuff I need to be doing or stuff I could be doing or what's next, what's coming. Like, it's just a weird, weird thing. Speaker 1
Okay. So it's not like a little, like, imaginary friend voice or No. Not someone that's asking. Speaker 0
No. It's my voice Oh, your voice. Which is super annoying. Speaker 1
That's why you don't like your voice so much Speaker 0
because it's always your head. Stand my voice. I can't stand it. I hate listening to my voice. I hate seeing myself in pictures on television. Speaker 0
I really picked the wrong profession. Speaker 0
Right. That makes sense. I'm tired of me. Speaker 1
I'm I'm therapisting you. Speaker 1
And that is why. Speaker 0
Why is it? K. I want you to talk about something before. Here she goes. I want I need to figure it out, the song, because now it's making me crazy. Speaker 1
Okay. Well, this next topic is something that I love, and and this is something I've been wanting to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. The headline is millennial parents are going nuts for the tin can phone for kids. I actually know a group of moms who just all got tin can cone tin can phones for their kids, as they begin middle school in sixth grade. So I wanna hear what they have to say about it. Speaker 1
That's the daisies. Speaker 0
It is. I was right. You are. Speaker 1
I love this song. It's actually, like Super catchy. The kick ass little bee. Speaker 0
It is. I like That's a Speaker 1
bad one to have in your head. That's pretty chill. Speaker 0
I it is. But then it's like, closer and closer and closer, the way you got me all and then I'm like, the way you got me it's even said the words even say the way you got me all in my head. I'm like, oh, I can't get out of my head. Oh, that's I know. Do you have constant thoughts? Speaker 1
Not constant, but I do have the thing where, like, it's hard to relax because there's things that you could be doing. Speaker 0
Yeah. It's just like, I'd I I mean, I would I need to go to Braintopia because, like, I wonder I don't know that there's ever a time when it's just my brain is quiet. Like, when I'm quiet in my own head. Yeah. It's very weird. Speaker 1
And and then it can settle all that. And then I have a con Speaker 0
I have conversations with myself in my head. Like, I'm Speaker 1
Do you ever talk to yourself? Speaker 0
Like, do you talk in a while? No. Not out loud. Speaker 1
Like, not even in the shower? Speaker 0
Well, every once in a while. Speaker 1
Times in the shower talking to him. Speaker 0
Every once in a while, I'll, like, get it together, Jones. Or, like, I'll be like or, like, if I because I'm very clumsy, so I, like, run into shit all the time. I'm like, fuck. Ow. Speaker 1
Shit. Oh. Oh, I do that. Speaker 0
You know? Where did that bed come from? Right. Like, it's always there in the same place. I know. It's Well, put that there. Right. I know. It's I know. I know. God bless me. Speaker 1
Well, you're doing great. Speaker 0
Thanks. I feel like it. You're doing great. Well, I thought I was doing fine, and then now I like to dive into that kind of stuff. Speaker 1
I definitely I I think all a lot of us have that. Like, a lot of us have that constant, like, you can't relax because Speaker 1
something in the back that's just going, like, what can you be doing right now? What should Speaker 0
you be doing? Why Speaker 1
I Oh, is there someone else I can like, that hasn't done something to that I can you know? So that's Speaker 0
why I have the AirPods in literally from the moment I wake up until like, if I'm not talking to people, it but I'm listening to radio, whatever, because I don't because if if I'm listening to someone else, then I can't I won't listen to myself. Right. Like, it's a weird Speaker 1
That makes sense. Speaker 0
Yeah. Well, I do wanna get Speaker 1
you in Braintopia. Your brain map would be amazing. Speaker 0
My brain map would be Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. And we can My Speaker 0
friend Lisa her listen to the one of the shows, and she was like, I don't I'm worried about you going to Braintopia. Like That's what they're there for. They can handle anything. She's like, I don't I don't know that they're ready for all that. Speaker 1
The machine just, like, explodes. It shuts down. It starts flaming. Speaker 1
Like, okay. Now you have to reimburse me. Like, come on. This is the craziest ring we've ever seen. Oh, what? This. Okay. Speaker 0
Alright. The ten can phones. Yes. Ten can phones, and then we need to take our guacamole quiz. Okay. Speaker 1
So the it's a kid friendly Wi Fi phone, because as your parent as your kids get to a certain age, I think all parents are trying to figure out how to handle this Yeah. Cell phone social media world that we're living in knowing that it's not good for our children Sure. But your kids are begging for it. Like, what do you do? And I love this option. The kids are going nuts for the or the millennial parents, I should say, these ten can phones. So it's a Wi Fi phone. It's basically a landline that operates on Wi Fi. And, also, like us parents, we know about the landline phones. We know that that was just fine back then. Speaker 0
Yeah. It's long ass cords. Speaker 1
You need to, like, take it somewhere. Yeah. Excited to, like Yeah. Be on the phone and talk to our friends. There's no texting. There's no apps. It's an old school landline with a cord, and it works over Wi Fi. Only approved people can call it. So if you have to be a panelist, I'm assuming, to let your kids accept a call from somebody, and you can control outgoing calls too. It's for ten year olds who wanna phone but aren't old enough yet. Ten year old. Like, that's right, or I mean, I'd still I could I would get on board with this actually for him now because it gives him something to do. Like, he can I I think I've I watched a little article? So there's the tin can phones. There's also, like, some parents are doing landline pods. Speaker 0
So, Kylie Kelsey talked about this. Okay. How they're they're not there yet, but she's like their theory at this point, their idea as parents is to have they're gonna have a kitchen phone. Uh-huh. And it'll be a cell phone or whatever. They're not gonna, like I mean or maybe they'll do something like this, but that cell phone lives in the kitchen. Yeah. So if you want, it's gonna stay in the kitchen. And if somebody wants to call you, you can sit there, and then you talk in the kitchen or whatever. She called it the kitchen phone that I thought was was really cool. We were I I was we did ours probably too early, our phones. Yeah. You know? I don't Speaker 1
Yeah. Ask the point of being able to do this. Speaker 0
Well oh, we're totally past the point of being able to do this. But my whole thing was, like, the kids had iPads with Wi Fi, which basically iPads with Wi Fi are the same thing as cell phones. They just can't take it I mean, they it just only works on Wi Fi, but it has all the functionality of a cell phone. Yeah. So my theory was, like, okay. What are Speaker 1
But they can do all the apps. They can get on YouTube. Yeah. Speaker 0
Yeah. For sure. So, I mean, listen. I don't if you wanna wait till you're fifteen to get your kids' phones, more power to you. Like, if you get them at ten, more power to like, I don't to me, I feel like it has so much to do with the the the child and Yeah. How they're gonna use it, how you structure their time with it, all that kind of stuff. I can see though how it would be such a slippery slope because, like, summertime, the rule the the the rules kinda went out the you know? But now that we're back in school, it's like Yeah. They've gotta be on the chargers that are not in their rooms at this time. They've gotta do x, y, and z in order to get them off the chargers the next day. So I don't know. I feel like every family is different. Every, you know, kid is different as far as what they can handle, what they can manage, you know, how involved you're gonna be in checking that. I mean, we have the random phone checks, which I actually look forward to. Yeah. Because I I mean, I will literally go through and then make them sit with me, and we read Speaker 1
through text messages. Apps where you can literally, like Speaker 0
So we have ARPAK. Or Speaker 1
whatever it is. And Speaker 0
ARPAK. Yeah. So that you can control everything on that, on an app like ARPAK. Speaker 1
And you can read their text? Speaker 0
You can no. If you have a certain plan with ARPAK. But, like, we do random phone checks where I sit. I'll be like, random phone check night. Speaker 1
Like, so Could they delete threads if you Speaker 0
can't phone. I don't think they know how to double delete, which I do. But we'll go through we go through all the apps, and we'll go through their text messages. And I'll be like, okay. What's this conversation? What's that conversation? All that kind of stuff. And it kind of makes them feel because then sometimes they have to sit there while I read what they Oh, Speaker 1
and that's awkward. Speaker 0
Yeah. But it's like, well, this is part of it. You know? If you want your phone. If you want your phone, this is part of it. Yeah. Speaker 1
So Well, I love this landline or tin can idea. Yeah. I'm still at that point where I could do it. Speaker 0
I think you're the perfect candidate for it with your kids' ages. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. I I really want to because Ryder doesn't he doesn't I don't think he'll care much about the apps or anything, but he does want to and I would love for him to communicate with his friends directly outside of me. Like, I'm so tired of texting moms. Can he help someone don't play? Speaker 0
And I will say that being able your kids being able to like, Hattie will get on FaceTime with her, you know, girlfriends or whatever after school or whatever. And I'm like, they can't hang out or what but if they can if they wanna sit there and talk to each other and talk about makeup and whatever Speaker 1
That energizes them. Speaker 0
I don't I mean, that to me is no big like, same thing when people are like, this is so ridiculous, these kids playing, you know, inter like, game playing video games and then talking to each other on the phone. And I'm like, what? It's just like we used to do, but they're just not physically in the same Right. And if they're if they're able to be physically in the same, you know, place together, I would love that even more. But sometimes if it's, like, nine o'clock and, you know, so and so's at his house and you're at yours, then, yeah, just call each other and play. Yeah. Like, play a video game. Yeah. I don't I don't I don't to me, I mean, we grew up on I mean, you probably don't remember, but, like, we grew up on Atari. Speaker 1
Yeah. You don't. Mm-mm. Yeah. I mean, I had, like, Nintendo. Speaker 0
Nintendo. So Atari was before Yeah. Nintendo. But, like, but we would we would play for hours. Yeah. And, physically, we would be together because there wasn't the option to not be. But yeah. I mean, I don't know. I just think I I think we have to learn how to adapt to what the world is now as far as technology and all that shit. And I don't think there is any sort of, like, handbook right or wrong answer, you know, based on when, you know, you're it's all based on your kids, what they're ready for and what they're not. Speaker 1
Yeah. I love that there's some new options. Speaker 0
I would love for you to try yeah. Well, especially and then here's another thing. Your kids haven't had you know, they haven't experienced a cell phone, so there's it's not like going backwards for them. That this will be you know? Yeah. Like, once you let the genie out of the bottle, it's so fucking hard to put it in. Speaker 0
You haven't let the genie out Speaker 1
bottle as long as I can. Yeah. I really am. I mean, Anna's an Anna's seven, and some of those girls are getting Apple watches and stuff. Speaker 0
She's how old? Seven? Speaker 0
And they're getting Apple watches. Some of the girls in her grade. Yeah. I'm trying to I I say that. We may have Speaker 1
And, like, the you know, she's Yeah. I'm just gonna really. Same like, ear piercing, she doesn't have that yet. I'm just gonna hold on. I just think there's gotta be stuff that they can look forward to that they can you know, once you become a certain age, you can get this or that. Right. If you get it all when you're seven, Speaker 0
what are we doing? Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But yeah. Speaker 0
Before we go, before we go, we Speaker 1
had a Personality quiz. Speaker 0
Guac it is National Guacamole Day on September sixteenth. Speaker 0
Before we take it, huge shout out to Yo Kiro for our snack trays. Huge shout out to Moxie Energy Drinks. This is the one I really liked, the sweet chaos. They're all good. But like I said, I've I have enjoyed it. Drink it. I can't drink a energy drink period with just by itself, Speaker 0
I dilute it with a a little Topo Chico for later. And it makes a little Yeah. Nice little cocktail. Okay. So we have to find out what our guac personality is. Speaker 1
Mhmm. So So there's description. Speaker 0
There's four options. Uh-huh. Okay. So I'll read two, you read two. Speaker 1
Can we pick each others? Speaker 0
Absolutely. Okay. Okay. So first one is channeling full Beyonce energy. Permission, never needed. Vision, always clear. Standing on business isn't a phrase, it's a lifestyle. If you're running the boardroom and orchestrating, no, you're running the boardroom and orchestrating your own empire. Okay. Second one is strutting through life like Carrie and her Manolos. Every sidewalk becomes a runway and every glance is yours to collect. When the mom when the mom when the room shifts, as you walk in, that's not an accident. That's the vibe. Speaker 1
Next one, pumpkin spice latte in one hand, Stanley cup in the other. Your camera rolls ninety percent pumpkin patch selfies. You've got Gilmore Girls on repeat and are afraid to post it. Call it basic, but let's be real. It's iconic at this point. Or you're serving succession level luxury with a dash of Real Housewives drama. You know you're worth and don't settle. You're the vibe. Dripping in main character energy in Dom Perignon fizz. Speaker 0
Okay. So we're supposed to tell each other? Yeah. Okay. Speaker 1
So It'll tell you what your Kate Uruguay is. Speaker 0
Okay. Who what do you pick for me? Speaker 1
You are you are the first one. Okay. Channeling full Beyonce energy permission, never needed vision, always clear, standing on business isn't a phrase. It's a lifestyle. You're running the boardroom and orchestrating your own empire. Speaker 1
think that's a good one for you. Speaker 0
Okay. I like it. So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the pumpkin spice latte one. Speaker 1
Is it just because I always have a million things in my hand? Speaker 0
Well, I mean, you've got it's you've got a lot of gear. A lot of gear. And you've got I I feel like your camera roll probably is Speaker 1
It's not selfies, but it's full of kids. Speaker 0
It's full of stuff. And probably Speaker 0
I was sure that this might need to clear up some storage Uh-huh. Or purchase some additional for a very small fee. Speaker 1
Yeah. Is there a ring? Speaker 0
Okay. So what happens? Wait. I think we oh, shit. Okay. So now we have to Speaker 1
Now we okay. So I'm sorry. Speaker 0
That you're the PSL. So I'm oh oh oh oh, this isn't working out well for me. Speaker 0
Do we peel this? Is there a sticker? Oh, here you go. Do use your fingernail. Okay. So my guac energy is Speaker 1
I don't have fingernails. Speaker 0
This is have to report back. Tune in to Speaker 1
the mom game social media channels. Speaker 0

Yep. I'm chunky. Do mine? I mean, it does not work. Speaker 1
We need a coin. That's what this is for, I think. Speaker 0
Coins, coins, coins. I I can't find I can't get it. Close. I'm using all my fingernails. Okay. Here it goes. Speaker 1
Please be queso. Please be queso. Speaker 0
You're It's not. It's this national walk day. It's not national queso. Speaker 1
Please be spicy. Speaker 0

Back. Happy Labor Day post Labor Day. Speaker 0
Yeah. Happy post Labor Day. How was yours? How's your house doing? Did you tell everyone what happened on Friday? Speaker 1
Question that gives you hives. Speaker 0
Because every like last week, I had to take a drink before I before you answered the question, are you still in a VRBO? The answer was no. We celebrated. It was great. And then what happened after that, Julie? Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. I forgot already. Isn't that the good thing about my brain? It is. I forget the Speaker 0
I would still be traumatized. Trauma. Speaker 1
We we had to move out to a hotel for one night, because they started painting. I think it might have been, like, a day before we thought they were gonna start painting because we had the trip planned to go to, Llano, our ranch for Labor Day to get out, but to also, like, leave the house, for Speaker 0
because paint is strong. Speaker 1
Paint is strong, Speaker 1
But they started while I was out running some errands, I guess, the other day, Thursday. Not yeah. Thursday day. So I came home, and, I mean, it was bad. It was pungent. It was, like, gave me an immediate headache. And We were on a call and Speaker 0
you mentioned it. You're like, woah. This is pretty strong. Speaker 1
Yeah. It was really strong. Speaker 1
then I had another call at three o'clock that I, like, barely got through. And, I I it was crazy. Like, immediate headache. Speaker 1
Bad. And then Ryder came home, and then he was having a little bit of an off day, which might have been because of the paint. And it was just, like, all hell breaking loose. But Speaker 0
I knew that I didn't want Anna to be there. Speaker 1
So we moved to a hotel. So we had one night in a hotel. I think I texted you and Jasmine, like, I don't know right when I was going to bed. I was like, just so y'all know. I think you'll love this information. Speaker 0
And then you added, like, we're in a hotel, and then you added the caveat of, and we just walked to dinner to Benihana or something. To Benihana in the rain. My poor kids. Like your car broke? Point does CPS get cold? Don't say that. Speaker 1
Like, this morning's Anna like Anna's like, mom, can I please just have a packed lunch? I was like, no, honey. Speaker 0
Not right now. We don't have a kitchen. I don't have food. Like, I finally found Speaker 1
a little, like, Tupperware to put some stuff in, but it was Speaker 0
out on the table in Speaker 1
the backyard, and it wasn't clean. But I don't have a sink, and Speaker 0
I didn't wanna clean it in the, yeah, it's just a lot. So it's Speaker 1
like, no. I just buy your lunch. Just a couple more days. Yeah. We're almost there. Now is the Speaker 0
is there a light at the end of this tunnel? Speaker 1
Well, yes. I think so. I missed a call while we were shooting from my contractor. Okay. So, we're talking, I think, countertops. Speaker 1
Yeah. So we're getting there. We're getting there. And I'm hoping they're finishing up painting today. The furniture is all still I came home, and I was like, maybe it'll all be done. But the furniture is all still pushed to the middle of the room. Yep. It looks like maybe it's just the primer on a couple of walls. So, hopefully, they wrap that up soon. And then we'll carry on. Speaker 0
Carry on. Yeah. Yeah. With stuff. Speaker 1
With stuff. So I don't know at this point. It's probably, like, I bet realistically, maybe two weeks, Speaker 1
For the kitchen to be all the way done, maybe a week. I don't know what's stopping them at this point. I feel like they could go in there and finish today if they wanted, but I don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Speaker 1
so hopefully, we're getting close. And then the backyard people are doing turf tomorrow and Friday, and he thinks by Saturday, they might be done. Or sorry. Whatever day. Two days this week, and then he thinks by Saturday, they might be done. So at least we can maybe go swimming and stuff. Speaker 0
Light at the end of the tunnel. Speaker 1
Yeah. I think so. But it's looking great. Speaker 0
Did it? I bet it is. It is. I know the floors look great because you text me texted me a picture of this, and they look great. I gotta fit I should be right right from Speaker 1
the sticks. Oh, dear. Speaker 0
Yep. There we go. Okay. There we go. Speaker 1
Sure. What's new in your world? Speaker 0
Nothing. I had a very low key weekend because I was solo for the vast majority of it. Henry and Mike went down to the coast fishing, and Hattie wanted to go to Graham to hang out with family there. And so Friday, I had lunch in Maj with the girls at the house. Mhmm. And then Saturday, literally laid on the couch all day, watched college football. Mhmm. Cooked up some fajitas, for my niece and her boyfriend and my mom. And then Sunday got so much shit done. It was unreal. And then went and got Hattie, and we had a wedding on Sunday night, her, volleyball coach. Speaker 0
Sweet Kristen. Yeah. We love crew. We've had Kristen forever. So, anyway, went to her wedding reception because they'd already gotten married in Banff, which was absolutely beautiful. They showed the video. It was gorgeous. Speaker 0
Yeah. And then Monday, more chores and stuff, food prep for the week. Big food prep girl now. Speaker 0
you. So, yeah, made fried rice, chicken fried rice on the black stuff. Speaker 0
Okay. Whatever it's called. Speaker 1
For when? Like we had it for dinner last night. Okay. So tell me about this food prepping. Speaker 0
So Henry you know, he's in his bulking era. And so I make, like, ground beef, to put in his eggs because I make him eggs with ground beef in the mornings. Sounds good. Yeah. And then, he likes hot lunches. And so, just making sure we have, like, rice and a protein to put in his thermos. So Speaker 1
And then he warms it up there? Speaker 0
No. The you'd remember thermoses? Speaker 1
Oh, thermoses keep it warm Speaker 0
versus thermosetting. Yes. Mhmm. Thermoses are really awesome. Mhmm. So yeah. Yeah. So pretty uneventful. Lot so much football. Watched so much football. Yeah. Loved it. I'm so glad it's been. Yeah. So, yeah, we could talk more about that in sports courts if we don't have anything else to, carry on about. Mhmm. But, yeah, super please, please, please give Tony Casillas a listen in this episode. He was awesome. Speaker 1
So good. We covered all the sports sports with you. Speaker 0
We covered all the sports. We covered the parenting. We covered crazy youth sports. We covered crazy professional sports. It's all crazy. That's the comedy team. Sports. Pretty much. Speaker 1
Everything is crazy. Nineties cowboys. Oh. Yeah. Speaker 0
So lots to talk about with Tony. And he had some stories that I hadn't heard before, which is really fun, especially after watching the documentary Speaker 0
On the cowboys. You kinda thought they would have told them all, but there's there's still plenty to be told according to Tony. Yeah. So, anyway, alright. Let's get a little sports squirtsy with, our friends at Baylor Scott and White. Speaker 1
For Baylor Scott and White being back, longtime friends of the mom came, and they have something cool going on right now. They want you to unleash your frog power with our friends at Baylor Scott and White All Saints as the proud sponsor of TCU Athletics. Baylor Scott and White Health is giving you the chance to win something very cool. It's a football signed by coach Sunny Dykes, Emily. Speaker 0
I'm familiar with Speaker 1
Sunny Dykes. You are. So it's really easy to win. This is something actually, I think Ryder, like, bid on this exact thing at our school auction and didn't get it. So maybe I'll enter for him because he was so excited about the possibility of having a football signed by coach Sonny Dykes. And all you have to do here is snap a picture of the QR code that's on your screen. It'll take you straight to the entry form. QR code on your screen. I have a feeling we'll also blast this out on our socials. While you're there, check out game day tips to keep you at your peak so every game feels like your best game. And remember, at Baylor Scott and White Health, you've always got a team that has your back. Entries for this contest must be received prior to eleven fifty nine PM central time on December second twenty twenty five. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaking of Sunny Dykes, the frogs just rolled in their opener on Labor Day evening. Forty eight to fourteen over North Carolina and, of course, Bill Belichick. It was, you know, I don't know if you watched much of it.
Speaker 1
But have a TV. Oh, that's
Speaker 0
So, anyway, North Carolina came out first possession and just, like I think it was, like, seven plays and just was in the end zone. And, of course, I'm married to a horned frog, and he's like, I mean, we may lose ten games this year. And I'm like, oh
Speaker 1
my god. It was my five.
Speaker 0
Right. So TCU got punched in the mouth on that first drive, and then it was all TCU after that. Forty eight fourteen was the final. But Bill didn't
Speaker 1
have an answer?
Speaker 0
Bill did not have an answer, and it just I just keep going back to what it what on earth is this man thinking? What is he thinking? What is he doing? What is he thinking? I know he's trying to set his son up, but, like, don't he is does he have to do this in order to ensure that his son is gonna be No. Well, don't you
Speaker 1
think that he's just so obsessed with football? He doesn't wanna go sit on this his couch.
Speaker 0
Wait. He's so obsessed with football and control because, like, he could have had an NFL job, but there was too many strings attached, and North Carolina was, like, the first one that bit. But, anyway, whatever. Our our friend Sonny Dykes made the comment afterward that, you know, he felt like that they were a little disrespected because all the talk was about Bill Belichick in North Carolina and all that kind of stuff. And they experienced it last year with Deion Sanders. Colorado was their first game, with Deion Sanders versus TCU. So it was it's kind of a back to back seasons of this kind of stuff. But, or was it last season or maybe it was the season before? Anyway, I can't remember. Whenever Deion's first game was. So, anyway, that was the kind of, like, the cherry on top of the the college football opening weekend, and it was glorious. Yeah. I mean, the Texas Alabama game I'm sorry. Texas, Ohio State game was boring, but it was still exciting.
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. But it was boring. Watched that with a bunch of longhorns.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It was boring. And it's just I never it's
Speaker 1
I They were all, like well, the big deal was arch Manning's debut, of course, and I guess he didn't look very good. I only saw the end of the game.
Speaker 0
He not only didn't look good, he, like, he didn't look fundamentally sound as a quarterback. Yeah. It was funny. Weird throwing motions and He's probably super nervy. I guess so. But at at some point, don't you just revert back to I don't know. And I
Speaker 1
Maybe him won't be down too much. The working on his mechanics.
Speaker 0
I don't know. But he did not look good. And they're gonna be better. He's gonna look better. They're gonna Yeah.
Speaker 1
Look better. The the dialogue from the Longhorn fans was that he was, not put in a good position to succeed in his first game.
Speaker 0
Mark didn't do him any favors.
Speaker 1
Calling, like, plays that he's used to, that he likes. They were being too safe. They were being too conservative until the end of the game when they finally needed to score. Yeah. So that's Yeah. One drive,
Speaker 0
he looked really good. I mean, and they turned the ball over a couple times, and, Ohio State is good. You know? They're they, you know, they're they're good. Ohio State is Mhmm. Or who needs to slide to their left, Glenn? Okay. I was like, wait a minute. So, anyway, it's we'll see. I mean, it's I'm not saying it's an irrelevant game, but it's not like either no. Nobody's if you lose in week one, no one's Yeah. Yeah. Getting counted out at
Speaker 1
the moment. Huge game off the Yeah. Top of the schedule. Yeah.
Speaker 0
And then the whole Miami Notre Dame game was awesome. Mhmm. The Florida State Alabama game. Holy schnikes. Florida State looks good. Everyone's talking about how this Alabama just looks like shit, but I'm like, maybe Florida State's really good. They lost ten games last year, and they looked really good. But it was just a fun weekend. My Red Raiders got that big dub over somebody that's not very good.
Speaker 1
Big dub. Big, huge dub.
Speaker 0
Well, listen. A win's a win. Right.
Speaker 1
Anyway because you gotta get a huge dub too.
Speaker 0
for somebody. That's
Speaker 1
not really good. And it was, like, sixty one to four.
Speaker 0
we were Arkansas Pine Bluff, maybe. I can't remember. Anyway, it was a very dominating performance as it should have been. Yeah. So, anyway, college football's back, and that's exciting. And it's still hot in Dallas Fort Worth, but it's not balls hot.
Speaker 1
We've gotten a lot of rain, so it's cooled in a
Speaker 0
little bit. Rain, and it's, like, it's not eighty five when you wake up. It feels like there's a little crispness in the air. Right. Feels nice. I love football season so much. I love it. So, yes, college football is back. Micah Parsons is a Green Bay Packer. The Cowboys kick off their season, on Thursday, which is the day the show will post. We are gonna talk about it all in-depth, with Tony Casillas a little bit later in the show. He's fantastic. We talk all the things, old cowboys, current cowboys, Micah Parsons, the documentary, his philosophy and thoughts on crazy ass youth sports, all that all that fun stuff. But, yeah, Micah's a packer. I feel like it's been dissected. If I'm just breaking news to you, I apologize. And what rock have you been living under? But yeah. So it'll be interesting to see how how this team looks,
Speaker 0
it always looks going up against the defending world champions, Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 0
At their place on Thursday night.
Speaker 1
Place. It's gonna be rough.
Speaker 0
I'm done. The first game of the season?
Speaker 0
So fun. I'm not predicting good things for the cover. So excited. Like, I I know.
Speaker 1
Love football season. I know.
Speaker 0
And I love it even more now that I don't cover it. Yeah. Like, I Yeah. That's real. So much more. Yeah. Because you're when you're when I was covering football, it was like you were so focused in on one game a week and doing all the studying and all that kind of stuff. And then while you were working that game, let's say it was a, my favorite kicks were two thirty kicks. If it was a two thirty kick, then you're prepping, you know, you're in meetings and all that kind of stuff from, like, at least noon until and then by the time you get done doing everything you need to done need to do. So from, like, noon to seven, you're completely out of commission. Yeah. So you would miss all the eleven o'clock games. You'd miss all the two thirty games, and then you could catch, you know, the seven o'clock games. But it's so much more fun now that I'm not covering it.
Speaker 1
The best thing in the world is having I think both of us, you way longer than me, but we both worked so many weekends too. Just, like, always had to work on Fridays or Saturdays or Sundays. And when you can just have a full on weekend and not have to worry about going anywhere to do anything, especially when the weather cools down. You can just be on your couch, and you can, like, have the speakers on, the the surround sound, and just play some or watch some football and and hang out. Yeah. It's great. That's one of the reasons I love just heading out to the ranch too. We'll probably go back in October, November because you can really escape and then
Speaker 1
Just hang out. But but no. Busy football weekend and, cowboys. I'm not expecting much. I'm not expecting much from them. You are the cowboys prognosticator. I am. I did have to stay up late last night and cut
Speaker 1
put I woke I woke
Speaker 0
up this morning at, like, five, and it was like, I cut a clip of me saying I was right about the Micah Parsons trade. And I was like, okay. Okay.
Speaker 1
Julie, good noted. Julie voice is
Speaker 0
better. You feeling I got a glove on me. Were you I was just wondering if, like, the whole height thing was, you know, you needed, like, an another you needed something to come back from full. I I don't think that was
Speaker 1
no. I'm not admitting defeat there.
Speaker 0
I'm clearly two inches taller than you.
Speaker 1
Might be taller than
Speaker 0
me, but I don't but you're it was a it
Speaker 1
was a very, like, tiered conversation. It's not just about who's taller. It's about, are you five seven or five five?
Speaker 0
Well, are you five five or more
Speaker 1
than three? We need to get a scientist here to measure it. Science.
Speaker 0
Calling all scientists. How else would we figure
Speaker 1
to call you? We're not
Speaker 0
gonna let this rest. I mean, it's gonna there's gonna have to be some definitive answers. There are,
Speaker 1
and there is a way to do that. We can be measured. Yeah. We can. Just like most things, we can be measured. And I'm happy to be measured live on the air.
Speaker 0
I don't know what I'm fighting
Speaker 1
for even at this point or
Speaker 0
what I even said or what's happening. But you did predict the Micah Parsons trade. I did. You or you predicted that he would be traded? Yes.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And I think it's remember I was, like, trying so hard to make Trey Lance happen for, like, two seasons?
Speaker 0
Oh my god. You loved him so much.
Speaker 1
I was just, like, really determined that he wasn't getting a fair shot.
Speaker 0
died on the third and fourth. No, like no.
Speaker 1
Nothing to really base it on. It more just became, like, a game within myself and, like, a little gamble because I don't gamble. Yeah. Like, well, if in my brain, like, I just think this might work out, and then
Speaker 0
I'm gonna be like, I'm the one. Who said trailer
Speaker 1
And that didn't work out. It didn't. But when I heard that Micah Parsons was actually traded and, like, the whole world was freaking out and there were, like, there were clips of people on ESPN, like, prior to this happening that morning saying, there's no way, you know, the big people that get all paid all the money. There's no way Jerry Jones would trade Micah Parsons. There's no way this is gonna happen. This is Julie's
Speaker 0
talking voice of all of you who said Micah Parsons wasn't gonna be true.
Speaker 1
Everybody. It was what's his name, Skip and and Shannon. And
Speaker 0
Is Skip still does he still have a show? I don't know. Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1
Who's all the people. They're all like, there's no way Jerry would do that. Blah blah blah blah blah, and then bam, it happened. And I think there's only one person in all of the world Oh. That said that this might actually happen.
Speaker 1
And it was me. So
Speaker 1
I just had a feeling. Micah Parsons is a very emotional, like, probably immature
Speaker 0
Yeah. But I don't think this was on Emotionally this was on them.
Speaker 1
Well right. But I think that he just, well, I don't I mean, it was on both parties. Yeah. Micah wasn't gonna let it fade. Like, Micah wasn't just gonna let Jerry come in the end and say this is what I want. Yeah. He wasn't gonna let Jerry win. He felt he felt taken advantage of.
Speaker 0
Scoot to your left again. I just got a text. Sorry. What is going on? I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 1
Anyway, I was right about that, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that it's actually kind of sad. Good, though. It felt
Speaker 0
good when you're right, especially when you're you have an unpopular opinion. Right? You're kind
Speaker 0
going against the grain, and then you get to be right.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Because it was a weird opinion. Yeah. The social media clip. And you
Speaker 0
were you have permission. I will even cut the clip for
Speaker 1
you if you become right about something. You have permission to
Speaker 0
Yes. In the event that I ever do.
Speaker 1
Yes. If you make a prognostication about football or anything else
Speaker 1
I will cut the clip for you That
Speaker 1
of you, Joey. Of you winning and spiking the football.
Speaker 0
That is so kind of you. Thanks. I don't know that it'll ever happen, but it's good to have it in my back pocket Yeah. For sure. It's fun to try to predict things. Yeah. Okay. We can have a prediction contest. We'll we'll do, we'll do over under on cowboy or number of wins for the Cowboys. And we have to write them on a paper so we can't judge off of each other. Okay. You wanna do it now? Sure. How many wins for the Cowboys?
Speaker 1
How many games are we playing these days? Seventeen. Oh, okay. I think that k. I don't have a pen.
Speaker 0
then on the count of three, show us your number. One Mhmm. Two three. Oh, fuck. We have the same number. The same number. Nine. I'm surprised you have him at nine.
Speaker 1
I know. Me too.
Speaker 1
wanted to say eight and eight.
Speaker 0
I went nine because And
Speaker 1
I gave him a I fudged him one.
Speaker 0
Okay. Well, we'll seven.
Speaker 0
We could both spike the football if they hit nine. How about that?
Speaker 0
Okay. One more quick sports score. The Rangers? What the fuck? Yeah.
Speaker 0
They're They're winning. They're winning. They're winning without Marcus Simeon, without Corey Seager, without Nathan Ivaldi, without Evan Carter.
Speaker 1
Trying to cut the dead weight, man.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Just get rid of those all star gold glovers. Ridiculous. It's insane. I have no idea what's happening. Granted, a lot of it has to do with the competition that they're facing
Speaker 0
Currently. They've it's Tuesday. I think they've won, like, nine of ten, nine of eleven. I mean, it's insane, the fact that they're winning.
Speaker 1
They're not dead yet.
Speaker 0
They're not dead yet. Do not bury them. But the competition gets a lot stiffer after this series against the Diamondbacks. So I'm working this weekend, Friday, Sunday, Astros series, and then you got the Brewers. So you've got two really good teams coming in. At home, well, this team shit the bed at home last home stand. So let's see how they respond. I think they did. No. I say that. I'm totally wrong. Two home stands ago. Excuse me. Pardon me. And I apologize, rangers.
Speaker 1
You're forgiven.
Speaker 0
Thank you. So, anyway, I think that to me and and we've said this I've said this, you know, several times throughout the season. Like, okay. This is this is the stretch. This is the stretch. I think starting Friday
Speaker 0
I think you look at that Astros, Brewers stretch, those games, and we're gonna know exactly where this team is. Plus, it's you you only have a certain amount of games left at that point. So, anyway, they're still in it. Shout out to them. Kudos to them. Kudos to Boach for continuing to get them, you know, motivated. Whatever the hell they're doing, it's working. Yeah. Guys that weren't producing before are producing now, and it's crazy.
Speaker 0
they're not even out of it for the division. Yeah. It's crazy. Houston is floundering a little bit. Seattle's floundering a little bit. I mean, it's it's crazy. It's insane.
Speaker 1
There's gotta be I mean, yes. It sucks that those people are all injured, but then you've got kinda like this group of, like, people Yes. No expectations. You take the expectations off, and sometimes that's when professional athletes can be the scariest. Like, when they can let it all go and you go play, you go have fun, you go Like, we come together as a team.
Speaker 0
Like, twenty twenty three, we saw it in September when Evan Carter got called up. Right? Like, you've got this guy with this hunger, and he's a rookie, and he's twelve years old. And he's just you know, he's so excited, and he's he's so, green.
Speaker 1
He's green. Yeah.
Speaker 0
He's not he he's not jaded by all these other things. He doesn't have all these experiences. He's just going fun. Yeah. He's like, I'm in the major leagues. Like, you better make damn sure I'm gonna make the most of this. So, anyway, hats off to them. I'll be working this weekend, like I said. Nice. And super excited to see how they how they fare against the Astros.
Speaker 1
Maybe come. We haven't been to win this season. I don't think.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Fun. Yeah. Okay. Let's do a little what's on your feed brought to us by your friends at Audrey Dollins Media. As you know, we love our Audrey Dollins Media team.

So thank you, ADM. Okay. Couple quick things. I think just one, actually, that I had on, the socials. Actually, two. Cooper Flagg's mom is momming.
Speaker 0
She gave Cooper a strict one hundred eighty thousand dollar car budget despite signing a sixty two million dollar contract with the Mavs, which I think is brilliant and awesome. And he's still, what, eighteen, nine? He's so young. Yeah. But Well also too laughable that it's a hundred and eighty thousand. Like, I'm gonna put you on a budget. It's a hundred and eighty thousand dollars for your first car. I'm just trying to
Speaker 0
first car, but for your first payment.
Speaker 1
For a faint your first one of your first big purchases with your new contract. I'm trying to picture, like, what Ryder would do if he somehow became super successful and Would he still listen to you? Money, he would never listen to me. He wouldn't. He'd be like, f off. Or maybe he would. I don't know. But it's it's I think It's a funny concept.
Speaker 0
Henry would listen to me. I don't think Hattie would.
Speaker 1
Yeah. I don't think Ryder would because he would think he's for sure smarter than me. Like, he already does. And if you find that much success that young, that early on in life, then, yeah, who wants to listen to
Speaker 0
their mom anymore? But I
Speaker 1
love that she's trying. I do too.
Speaker 0
I do too. I still wanna get her on. I know that they're she's pretty tired. Womp womp. Womp womp. But listen. We're fun, and she would love us.
Speaker 1
And She doesn't know yet.
Speaker 0
She we would love her.
Speaker 1
We never got Luca's girlfriend on, and then he was gone. Yeah. Then they became married. But With baby. With baby.
Speaker 0
Did they marry?
Speaker 1
I think they did. Did they? I think so.
Speaker 0
I think you should look that up. Jasmine would know. She's obsessed with Lugia.
Speaker 1
I think they got married. They definitely have baby.
Speaker 0
I think I know they have baby. I don't think they got married. Oh. Maybe they got engaged. I don't know. What am I talking about?
Speaker 1
They're doing it out of wedlock.
Speaker 0
If I was if I'm right, I'll just cut a social media clip and post it later. Okay. And then one more thing I'm just
Speaker 1
care that much about that fact.
Speaker 0
On the socials, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, is ready to cash in on their relationship's forty nine year age gap. He's seventy three. She's twenty four, which listen. Fifty years is a lot, what right? If you're a hundred and and fifty. When you're seventy three and twenty four, I feel like it's so it's it might as well be eighty years difference, but whatever. So she filed trademark phrases, gold digger, which she wants to use for jewelry and key chains.
Speaker 1
Isn't that a Kanye West song? Yes. Like, how is that available to be trademarked?
Speaker 0
I don't know. She also tried to trademark Chapel bill, Bill's version in parentheses, no days off, Bill's version, stealing from Taylor, and Bella cast, which what is I don't I
Speaker 1
it really is, like, just some crazy chick that is now I mean Trying to monetize everything? But think about it. I mean, we're talking about we've talked about, like, why. Why is she doing this? Why is this happening?
Speaker 0
Now is she just owning it that, like, yes. I am a gold digger, or is she like, I'm not a gold digger. I really love him, but we're gonna totally play all you guys?
Speaker 1
To, like, this whole empire, basically, just by dating him. Like, she's made for she can come up with all these ideas. He's just like, whatever you want, babe. Like, he's a he's a big brand. Right? And she can just do whatever she wants with that brand, and she's doing it.
Speaker 0
But it's not like he's Tom Brady, like, creating fitness routines and shit
Speaker 1
like that. Brady, but he's Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1
mean, he's a pretty big name in football for a long
Speaker 0
time. But I don't feel like he's like and I guess she saw an opportunity. Like, he's he doesn't market himself No. But he could, and so I will. Right. Twenty four years old.
Speaker 1
Twenty four. Crazy.
Speaker 0
It's insanity. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get Tony Casillas' thoughts on that a little bit later.
Speaker 0
Alright. But let's hit our TMG news desk brought to us by our new friends at Trident Access, which you have a very personal experience with.
Speaker 1
I do. They just came out and, hooked me up. They made a beautiful new gate for my driveway. This is something that we've been thinking about for a long time dreaming of. In fact, we wanted to close off our backyard. We wanted a gate that we could press a button and it'd open up and then create
Speaker 1
All that privacy for us. Rider would or the kids would play basketball and the ball would roll into the alley. We can't have that. No. So I called up our friends at Trident Access Services. They also do garage doors. Like, that's their main thing. And a lot of people probably don't realize that they need a new garage, or perhaps you've even been stuck in your garage when it wouldn't open, and you've got a car full of stuff and kids, and you're trying to get somewhere, and you're stuck in your own garage, they're gonna make sure that that does not happen. They can do any of those things for you. A new garage door, they want you to know, is more than just an upgrade. It's an investment in your home safety appearance and everyday functionality.

Their story. Like, I haven't met him, obviously, like you have, and he get like, when he emailed us this last week, he was, like, telling us this whole story. And I I just, like, I love he he obviously, they take a lot of pride in what they do and Yeah. Feel like, believe in their mission. I think that's pretty effing
Speaker 1
Yeah. I feel like customer service has, like, dropped in a lot of areas, and that's why they're really leaning into this. You're going to get wonderful customer service. You're going to talk to them. When they came and replaced mine, I think there were, like, five guys there. Like, making sure that everything was done properly, and it feels good.

So right now is a good time to bite the bullet and get that ten percent discount.
Speaker 0
Do it. The x trident dot com. Okay. So last thing before we get to Tony Casillas, and I hope you haven't looked too hard at the rundown.
Speaker 0
it, but I didn't. Okay. Because I wanted to run some, the definitions that Cambridge dictionary has added to its portfolio. Mhmm.
Speaker 1
This is always fun.
Speaker 0
Okay. And then two, it's fascinating to me to hear the actual definitions because I hear a lot of these words, but I really don't know what they mean because my kids are saying them. Right. Okay. So number one, skibbity. Yeah. Do you know what that is? No. Okay. So a word that can have different meanings such as cool or bad or can be used with no real meaning as a joke. Like, what the skibbity are you doing that wasn't very skibbity riz of you? So, basically, it's just like it's just a like, whatever whatever you want it to be, skibbity. Who started this?

I've heard this one.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Short for delusional.
Speaker 1
Something a lot of Swifties say when you're, like, being Delulu about some of her Easter eggs or, like, you think you see a sign somewhere, but you know you're being a little DeLulu or, like, when they were all calling for Taylor's version of reputation to come out as every time she'd come out for a show, they'd be like, oh, she's wearing black fingernail polish. And then you'd be like, oh, we're just being DeLulu because black meant reputation. Anyway, that's how I know DeLulu, short for delusional.
Speaker 0
I definitely know you know number three, trad wife. You taught me that one.
Speaker 1

Speaker 0
But I can honestly say I've never heard d y o r.
Speaker 1
Say that to Anna when she asked me, like, every question in the world about life questions. Water clouds, like, why is it raining?
Speaker 0
But have you ever heard

Speaker 1
Nanoship? Down.
Speaker 0
Oh, a nanoship. I kinda like this one. I also haven't heard it. A very short romantic interaction with someone with no expectation. It will lead to a real relationship. So isn't this just called, like, effing

Speaker 0
Code word for nanoship Yeah. Is yeah. Or yeah. Nanoship is just a code word for one night stand. Right. Yeah. Okay. Well, we're smarter than you, idiots. Mhmm. Career catfishing. The act of accepting a job offer, but then not showing up on your first day. That's mean. What's wrong with you? Idiot. Dumb. I get cold feet. Chrono working, adapting your work schedule to when you feel most awake and energetic. Okay. Well, good luck on that, Ace. But I guess it's happening.
Speaker 1
It's definitely happening.
Speaker 0
It doesn't make no. That's dumb. Smartphone face when an actor's face looks too modern for them to be believable in a drama set in the past.
Speaker 1
Oh my gosh. Okay. That's so specific.
Speaker 0
I don't like it. Burnt toast theory. The idea that a minor inconvenience like burning your toast in the morning might actually be prevent preventing something worse from happening later in the day. I like that. I like yeah. You like that?
Speaker 1
Oh, I like thinking about, like, you Like, a little bit car wreck or something, but, like, if you had burnt your toast and you had left five minutes later, then you wouldn't have gotten in that car wreck because x y z wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 0
So I had a burnt toast theory this morning. The dogs came in from outside, and I went into Henry's room to get his sheets off his bed to do to wash them or whatever. And Izzy came inside.
Speaker 1
Can you do that?
Speaker 0
Once a week. Okay. And so Izzy came in his room, which has carpet, and she, like, likes to roll around on the carpet.
Speaker 0
got paw prints everywhere, and I was like, it's not in my allotted time things to do. But What'd you do? So I went I cleaned it.
Speaker 0
But maybe that prevented me from having an accident on the way over here because that was
Speaker 1
so. Congratulations.
Speaker 0
Four minutes of my time
Speaker 0
didn't anticipate using to clean carpet. Mhmm. So, yeah, there's my burnt toast theory moment. I like it. Metaphase. When photos are enhanced with filters and everyone and make everyone look similarly flawless or unrealistic Unrealistically flawed.
Speaker 0
It's a thing, and it's awful.
Speaker 1
Yep. I mean Stop
Speaker 0
with the filters. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop using filters. Stop.
Speaker 1
The filters are out of control. Yeah. What are we doing? Just the face stuff that makes everyone look
Speaker 0
the same. So I I did tell you my one trick that I do on all Yes.
Speaker 1
I started doing it. The one little Yep. Yep. So if you click on your photos color. Yeah. If you click on
Speaker 0
your photos and then there's, like, this little what do you call those? Like, those three lines? Mhmm. It's on the bottom next to the trash thing, and you click on that, and there's a little magic wand. Mhmm. And you hit auto. And It's Emily's phone trick. And it just may it just brightens up the thing.
Speaker 1
It doesn't feel it's no longer mess with all the others.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It's like just a little magic wand. Yeah. And so it may it doesn't change the shape of your face or your wrinkles. It just it's the lighting. It makes the lighting Mhmm. Optimal. Okay. Three more. Manterpreting. This is first of all, I'm really glad that they finally came up with the Manterpreting. Oh, I thought it was mantorpreting mantorrupting. Yeah. But it's also could be it also could be mantorpreting.
Speaker 0
Okay. Go ahead. Read it.
Speaker 1
Interrupting a woman when she's speaking, usually, because the man thinks he has something more important to say. That's so real.
Speaker 0
So real. And one doesn't like it. Or man interpreting could be that maybe I need to submit that one Mhmm. When they have to explain something to you Mhmm. Because they don't feel like you could possibly understand that without their explanation. Right.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Mhmm. It's a
Speaker 1
Shelaborating. Okay. Explaining something
Speaker 0
in a much more detailed way than is necessary, often making the explanation more Maybe
Speaker 1
it's she. Is it because it's girls that usually do that? They're calling it to collaborate? Eighty five percent. Oh my gosh. How many husbands think that their wives should elaborate?
Speaker 0
Every single one of them.
Speaker 1
Swear. Every time I start talking, it's like I I can just see my husband quickly melting and dying inside, like, every time I just talk.
Speaker 0
They just don't
Speaker 1
like, every time I have a
Speaker 0
it's not gonna it's about to go somewhere real. I'm like, you give
Speaker 1
me an opening. I'm gonna tell you everything that's going on in my mind right now Yeah. Because I need help. Yeah. They yeah. And you shut up. Shut down. Don't listen. Like, they
Speaker 0
they really don't care what we have. They don't. They don't. Unless it's really important
Speaker 1
or just like, I signed this paper a bunch of years ago. Good.
Speaker 0
Unless it involves them or even maybe fifty fifty, the kids. Right.
Speaker 1
I don't care. They don't. And then it's like, hello. Hello. Hello. But I just wanna know what would happen if we didn't do all the things for, like, two days.
Speaker 0
Oh. Oh, my friend was so funny. My friend Kate, she went out of town for, like, I think it was three or four nights. Neat. New friend? I do. I have new friends. I have a couple of new friends.
Speaker 0
Yeah. There's not very many, but Congrats. Thank you. So funny that I bring up a new name. You're like, oh, you have a new friend. Yeah. So my Someday, I will too. I can't wait till we add to our list of friends. There's not very many. So, yes, my friend, Kate. I think I'm I'm still in single digits, but it's we're approaching double. Okay. Anyway, she went out of town. She was like, I can't she's in our group chat. She's like, I just want you guys to imagine what it what my house was like when I returned after four days out of town. And she immediately said she was like, Emily, you would probably just move out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they just I yeah. I mean, yeah, we do a lot of things. I think just if you're a a man listening, I just hope that you know that as women, the vast majority of us just feel like we do a lot of things. And we
Speaker 1
And they're gonna say we do a lot of things too, Emily.
Speaker 0
They they do. They make so much money and Moe? No. No mowing over here. No mowing over here. Big bank, take little bank. That's what my husband always says. Oh, big bank, take little bank.
Speaker 0
it's a reminder of who's the breadwinner in our family. I'm like
Speaker 1
Big bank, take little bank? We have a whole language
Speaker 1
He's telling you to f off, basically, because we make some money.
Speaker 0
Like a little joke every once in a while, like, you know, when I've like to pull out my
Speaker 0
List of my spreadsheet of things Right. What I'm doing, and then basically just fires back with, like, big bank take little bank. That's funny. It is funny. And if I didn't love him, I'd probably murder him in
Speaker 0
But I do love him tremendously. Yeah. And this is the way our marriage works Right. Is the constant jabbing at each other Yeah. Which is basically how all of my relationships work.
Speaker 0
Which is a very healthy thing.
Speaker 1
It is really normal.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I give Kate all the shit. Good. I can't be friends with people that I have to be gentle with.
Speaker 1
They don't make the group text.
Speaker 0
Well, I mean, can you imagine me trying to be gentle? Like No. It just doesn't work.
Speaker 0
It's not it would be like, oh gosh. Oh, golly gee. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? No. I luck you a lot. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1
Do you ever have to, like, talk to, like, a group of ladies, like, on a text? Like, so I'm planning Ryder's soccer team
Speaker 0
right now, and I'm room mom again, which Oh my god. What are you doing?
Speaker 1
They I wasn't going to. They sent a thing saying they needed people, which is so unlike our school. I think as the kids get older, people stop. Hundred percent.
Speaker 0
Yeah. You get to fifth grade and people are like
Speaker 1
and that's when I do that. I'm fucking young. Right? Like, it's easier as they get older. You they have switched teachers, so you have a team. Like Yeah. So I did it last year, and then they sent that thing, and Ryder was like, mom, will you do it again?
Speaker 0
Okay. If he's asking you
Speaker 1
So I you. The girl. I was like, if no one else does it, I will. And then next thing I know, congratulations.
Speaker 0
You're the roof hog. Congratulations, roof hog.
Speaker 1
Actually loved I loved that job because I, like, I if I'm gonna do anything, it's gonna be, like, spoiling and helping the teachers. You know?
Speaker 0
Yeah. I'm not good at other stuff.
Speaker 1
Same. Decorating libraries and all that. Like, I can't balloon arches and all that. Like Balloon arches. I love the people that can do that, but I am not good at that. One thing I can do is, like, hopefully be take care of people nicely. Yeah. So that's the only thing that that made me think of was,
Speaker 0
like, if you ever have to
Speaker 1
speak because I'm, like, talking to Ryder's soccer team is a whole group of people that I don't know. Like, so it's dads and moms on this thing, and I don't know any of them. So I'm trying so hard to, like, be gentle and, like, Yeah. Do you ever have to do stuff like that?
Speaker 0
I don't. I don't ever do that. Like, you've seen me even in business dealings. I don't do that.
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah. But business, you're not supposed to do that.
Speaker 0
Business, any anything.
Speaker 1
Right. Oh, yeah. I yes. Like, the actual hashing it out business part. No. But I'm just saying saying the other part, like, the whole courting of a sponsor relationship. Yeah.
Speaker 0
I very rarely go in gentle with anything that I do. Much. Yeah. It's really to our detriment sometimes.
Speaker 0
feel like I I feel like it's so like, for example, like so Charles Cooksey, who is the GM of Gateway GMC, who has literally supported us from day one, has supported every endeavor I have ever come to him with. Right. Whether it's want the only thing he hasn't supported is my skin care because he doesn't need it. But this man has literally supported everything that I've ever done. He and Jaffa, his long, long time girlfriend. But, like, he, like so he's our he's our biggest sponsor on the mom game. He's our presenting sponsor. And so, like, he'll send me a text and be like, why didn't we trade for a bat and bat? Like, at the trade deadline. Why didn't we trade for a bat? And I was like, have you seen our fucking offense lately? Like and he's like, okay. I'll take your word for it. Well, then we go in the shitter. And I'm like, well, maybe you're right. Like, I don't I'm not I should probably be more gentle with people who are, you know, largely responsible for the financial support of our business endeavors. But I don't know. I I maybe I'm not I know I'm capable. Yeah. It's just it's just not it's just not my personality. It's just not who I am. Yeah. You know? And that's okay. But I also feel like and I hope I think you would see this. Like, I'm also pretty fucking, like, ruthless on myself. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I'll crush myself
Speaker 0
A lot. Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 1
Well yeah. I mean yes.
Speaker 0
Yeah. But I do think that it's That's what people
Speaker 1
people appreciate that about you.
Speaker 0
But I do feel like it takes a
Speaker 1
splash BS their way from life.
Speaker 0
Of person to be friends with me because it's not because I'm not
Speaker 1
for the faint of heart.
Speaker 1
Yeah. I You might cry a few times. Uh-huh. So being in a mood, we might cry.
Speaker 0
Cry too. I cry. I'm soft sometimes. I cried Friday with my friend Jessica. I've cried with my friend Lauren. Aw. Yeah. What are you crying about? I don't know. Just being, like, grateful and also probably scared that I was gonna have to sleep by myself in my house that night. Oh. No. It's I some I mean, I can get in my field.
Speaker 1
No. I know. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It's just it's it's I save it for special occasions. Right. Yeah. Well Congratulations, Kate. Thank you. Yeah. Cheers to friends. Okay. Cheers to friends. Alright. Speaking of friends Mhmm.
Speaker 1
What should we do? Time to look.
Speaker 0
What? I just made her spit up her wine. The way you just said that was me stalling. I was like, what is she wanting me to do here? Time to hang out with one of
Speaker 1
our our great friends, former Dallas cowboy, Tony Casillas. We're talking all the things.
Speaker 0
And we are thrilled to be joined here on the mom game by national champion, world champion, longtime Dallas cowboy, Oklahoma Sooner, Tony Casillas. Tony, thanks
Speaker 1
so much for being with us.
Speaker 2
Man, it's an honor being with you guys. I love your show and, love with the all the content, and I'm just, I'm thrilled to be here. Looking forward to this.
Speaker 0
Yeah. We've gone back and forth on social media saying, let's do it. Let's do the podcast. You want, you know, you said yes, and I said then we found a time at no better time than right now because it's so quiet, on the football scene and and on the cowboy scene in particular.
Speaker 2
Oh, never anything never anything to talk about when it comes to the cowboys. Right?
Speaker 2
Must be football season. Right? Or no. It seems like it's, twenty four seven, three hundred sixty five days during the year. So yeah.
Speaker 0
It is around here. Okay. So first of all, as a former player, you've been retired from the game for how many years now?
Speaker 2
Oh my gosh. I'm giving away my age, Emily. Retired in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2
started playing I I guess I was in NFL when I was sixteen. So
Speaker 0
Yeah. There you go. The math that
Speaker 2
So I've been out I've been out a lifetime. It it it goes by fast. Trust me. But, yeah, I'd look back and, like, wow. That's been a it's pretty surreal that
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. How much do you keep up with it now? Football, the Cowboys
Speaker 2
in particular? I yeah, it's it's kinda interesting because when I first retired from football, I just wanted to just get away from the sport and and just, try to build a billionaire empire, and that didn't really happen. But played a lot of golf, so I got away from it. But then I just realized, hey. It's my DNA. You know? It's something I've, I've been around forever. And and, for some reason, during football season, it just seems to just lure me in. And so, no, I keep up with it quite a bit. I mean, it's hard not to Yeah. Especially in, you know, living in Dallas. And, and and and I I just I just think it's, it's one of the greatest sports besides baseball, which I know that you're you're you're
Speaker 2
Partial to that. But, but, yeah, it's it's great to be able to be part of it. And and, again, there's always some type of drama going on in Dallas. And and look. I mean, whenever you play for a championship team like the Cowboys that we did in the nineties, it's hard to hard to get away from that. That still creates some identity. So I'm I enjoy it, man. I enjoy just following the sport and and, obviously, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1
And you kinda have a unique opportunity too as a former player in a town where everybody's always talking about the cowboys to kind of get in the media realm a little bit, do some interviews here and there. I mean, that's at least a nice thing to have in your back pocket if the multibillion dollar industry doesn't Exactly.
Speaker 0
Quickly come to fruition. Right?
Speaker 1
Kind of a you know, when you hear Jerry speak about you're a cowboy for life, that's one of the ways that you are. People are always gonna ask you about the cowboys. Right?
Speaker 2
Oh, absolutely. And it's, it it is America's team, and I really I I think that when you look at that, and I really, you know, playing for the great franchise and the brand, the star, and what it represents. And, you know, that generation just had so much, great memories and championships and winning and kicking people's ass. And so, it was just a great, great, decade to be a part of. And and, Emily, you mentioned I've been out for a long time, and it's been a long time since the Cowboys have been relevant when
Speaker 2
to winning championships. So people wanna talk about that. A lot of people don't remember that, the younger generation, but, you you meet people all the time. It's like, hey, man. This is great. I've you you made my life so, so memorable back in the back when we played. So, they're still talking about it until, the present day cowboys do something about it.
Speaker 0
Right. So I guess there's so many different things
Speaker 0
to you about, but first, the the, you know, the big news over the last couple of weeks has been the Micah Parsons saga and then ultimately his trade to Green Bay. As someone who, you know, defense was obviously a huge part of,
Speaker 0
know, those championship teams and that that you look at, I'm sure, partially, what was your impression of, I guess, that entire scenario, how it went down, everything leading up to it, and then the ultimate end result?
Speaker 2
First of all, I thought it was a very, very it wasn't a very smart, trade on my part. And I say that. I understand the business aspect of it, what you got. But a general election player like Micah Parsons and, you know, I've been able to play during my career, the Reggie Whites, and I I've never in in some of the most dynamic players, Lawrence Taylor, and to see what his impact and to see what, he's done in four years and to give up what his production has been for that team. And and when he's not playing, he's not on the field, they're definitely not as good as they they can they can be. So, I just thought it was just everyone else was, like, shocked about it. Yeah. You know, especially, you know, the whole dirt not dirt, but the Yeah. Luka, you know, Luka trade and everything. It's like, like, it's just a compound on just, you know, trading a a superstar player. So I was in shock that they did that. Now I think there was a lot of, you know, Jerry probably getting his feelings hurt, negotiation, and but and then I I thought really just kinda weird to think he was holding out, but he's under contract, and he's, you know, he's at training camp. And you know what the media's gonna do? They're just gonna focus on him, and, so there's kind of a sidebar deal. And so I just I thought that, now we'll we'll see what happens if they get, you know, the, you know, two first round draft picks they traded for. But, man, I did not like it. A lot of people thought it was just one of the stupidest decisions that Jerry's made and because of what you gave up, a generational player.
Speaker 0
So and you mentioned the the contract that he still had a year left on his deal.
Speaker 0
the opportunity to franchise him for two years. Did that has that changed? When did that start happening where these guys start getting deals a year or two early, and they not only get them, but they hold out if they don't get them?
Speaker 2
Well, I think I think it's kinda you kinda prove yourself. And I for a player like Micah, which, you know, for the period he was here, he had fifty two sacks and just this amazing player. It's over ten sacks a season. So it it started to happen. And whenever the, you know, obviously, the salary cap and, you know, it escalated and got larger. But I think that that's kind of been the the the teams are gonna have to play these guys sooner or later. And I think for a player, you wanna you're in the the prime of your career, your production. You wait another year or two, then maybe, you know, you get injured. You're not you're you're you're you're value is not gonna be as much. So they started doing that in in essence to protect the player, and I think more or less in good faith. Because you know you're gonna have to bring you have to sign a player like Micah Parsons, obviously, your quarterback, Dak Prescott, but, it's something that protection on both players. But, just the whole thing, you know, like holding out, but not holding out and being there. I I think Micah probably coulda do a little better because if I'm just trying to get a contract, it becomes emotional and seeing him on the sidelines and, you know, laying down, taking a nap on the tray on the, you know, on the the table on the side. Just comes so much drama, and and, it it's inevitable. It's gonna happen that they're gonna get a deal done. And so I think people yeah. He's got a year left on his contract. It's a franchise, but I think it's a, you know, protect his, you know, his his future and to get as much as you can.
Speaker 0
Especially in the NFL where contracts aren't guaranteed. Absolutely. Which I I've never understood this. So Major League Baseball has the strongest players union.
Speaker 2
The best union. The best union.
Speaker 0
I mean, those guys are all guaranteed. I mean, it's it's it's insane. And then it's like but then those careers can last twenty years for a lot of guys. I mean, you know, you reach that ten years of service time. It's a huge milestone, all that kind of stuff. But yet the most violent sport, you know, that that the shelf life is so much shorter as far as careers are concerned, and they don't have that protection, built in to guaranteed contracts across the board, which has always fascinated me. Like, what is that gonna take, which I didn't mean to go off on this diatribe, but what is that gonna take for the the NFL the Players Association in the NFL to to flip that script to where come on, man. Like, this is the the biggest revenue generating sport we have, the most violent, the shortest shelf life shelf lives. The these NFL guys should be the ones getting that guaranteed money.
Speaker 2
Believe it or not, it's a lot better than it it's been. I remember when I played, the only guarantee you had was your signing bonus. So, unfortunately fortunately, it's gotten better.
Speaker 2
So guys are getting guaranteed money, seventy five percent of the contract. But, you know, Major League Baseball, was it Bobby Bonilla still getting paid? Like, dollars for annuity? I mean, every September, he's getting that direct deposit. I mean, great for baseball. But Yeah. And so I think it's you know, these owners, it's a collusion of these owners, you know, setting the market and basically saying this is what we're gonna do. And and, really, I don't think the NFL's had the best, players association. It's gotten better. But as far as contracts and guaranteeing money and then, you know, you you, you know, topping on with the concussion lawsuits and everything that goes along with that, I mean, your body just gets, you know, abused. And so I'm I'm all for you, Emily. I think that you you, you know, hit the nail on the head. It's like, you know, you these players that that play and sacrifice their body, especially the ones that are able to get a big contract. I mean, you have to guarantee the majority of it. And a lot of guys, as I mentioned, it's better now, but it could always be better. Yeah. But, yeah, I'm always blown away. Seventy, you know, from Micah, I got a hundred and thirty three million dollars guaranteed, and, you know, he may play out. That's a four year deal. You know, that's and I think another thing, I think guys wanna get shorter deals too because they don't wanna get you know, I think that's kind of the thing to hang up on these contracts because four years is is not a long time. And you you you have the the the opportunity to get that contract. But
Speaker 0
And then you could get another one if you shorten it. You know, if if four a five year deal versus a four year deal. I mean
Speaker 2
Right. I mean, you
Speaker 0
and you have to shot at it.
Speaker 2
Exactly. And I think that that's smart negotiating.
Speaker 1
Yeah. That's What do you think of the whole circus aspect of the Cowboys? Having been a part of a team that won a bunch of Super Bowls and, like you said, or a couple Super Bowls, like you said, trying to get back to that point, but there's always something else. There's always something else right now. I mean, it's most often Jerry. Like, people are talking about Jerry Jerry doing this, Jerry doing that, Jerry in the documentary, Jerry in a a crazy trade that no one expected. And we're not talking about football enough as somebody who was a heart of of those teams that that people remember and will remember forever and that the Cowboys will hopefully someday get back to, what do you think about all the off the field stuff that now just seems to really be a distraction from what people are drawn to, which is watching a football game.
Speaker 2
Well, Jerry, he had met his old message that is a soap opera. And if if the you know, if there's not enough, not enough attention, he's gonna do something to stir it up. So, you know, that's coming from the horse's mouth right there. I I think it's, I think it's really, really polarizing for the rest of the NFL and fans throughout the, you know, the, you know, in that, in different fan bases because, you know, Dallas is is still the clickbait. It's a lightning rod for whenever something happens, it's on it's it's on ESPN. It's their talk shows. It's on social media platforms. And I don't know. I think Jerry's a very bright marketing guy, but I don't think that I don't know how calculated he is. And if he is, he's, you know, he's he's he's again, he's very smart when he does that. But it's just it's it's nothing related to the game of football in in some aspects of it. I mean, it's the brand. It's the star. It's, you know, you go to AT and T Stadium. It's part of a it's almost like a it's an amusement park. It's like going to this place, and we're not we may not win that that day, but you know what? We're gonna build experience all the things that goes along with being at AT and T Stadium. So that's been a sidebar. And I think, when you talk to a lot of the former players and the guys that played, that have played on that team, and they go to different teams, and they say, man, this is this is work. I mean, we're we're focused on what we're supposed to do, and there's not this circus where, you know, the the players are part of the people who are coming to see, you know, the exposure you have when you're at, you know, at the star, and people can go in and sell on tours through that Yeah. Yeah. Mhmm. And sell on tours of the stadium. And I think maybe that's gotten lost in trans sans translation as far as what is the the main purpose. I mean, think about this. If you're he's winning, he's losing and winning at the same time. And because he's he's he's making money on other, you know, tentacles of it, but, it's hard to defend. It really is because I get tired of all the jokes and, you know, the last time that the Cowboys had won is a VHS tape, which they are true. That's how long it's been. So all the mims and all the things that go along with that. And it's hard to defend that because, we, the Cowboys, haven't been relevant in so much so time, and yet it's a lot you know, the the the most valuable sports franchise. And everybody's like, they're they're they're pretty much pissed off because they resent the fact that the Cowboys are like, what have you done lately?
Speaker 2
Except have the most, valuable franchise.
Speaker 0
Yeah. I think it I think, yeah, there there is a a level of resentment there, not only from fan bases outside of the Cowboys, but within the Cowboys fan base. You know? Yeah. Yeah. And it's frustrating.
Speaker 1
It seems even I mean, obvious just with this last trade, like you mentioned, were the cowboys getting a couple of first round draft picks, but you have a guy that you're digging for in the draft. Like, that's the guy that you want each season. You want somebody to turn into what Micah Parsons was for the cowboys, which was the best player on the team. And now you're going back to the gambling, not to mention the the Netflix Oh, the documentary. Again, but, like, he's he likes the gamble. He likes he likes the chase.
Speaker 1
He likes to get the media buzz going even if it's to a the detriment of the team and the players that are out there fighting for you every day and the coaches. I mean, jeez. Like, the Schottenheimer has to be frustrated too. Like, oh, cool. What do I have now to work with heading into a new season with opening night this week and the week before you get rid of the best player. So I don't know what there's not even really a question there, but it's just that I can as a fan, sort of fan, it's it's hard to be a fan these days like I used to be, but it's just so so frustrating. And so I guess, what do you think of this current team post trade? How's it
Speaker 0
how's it gonna look? What are the chances?
Speaker 2
I don't know. I think it becomes very emotional with fans too. And and and is my son, he's like the biggest biggest he bleeds silver and blue. And, you know, when things happen, I I've never and I told him, I said, I'm sorry. You're just a little too young. You know? You didn't get to experience that. And then right, you know, right away when they made the trade, he's like, hey. They lost a fan forever. I'm like, this is coming from a twenty five year old fan. So, I don't know. I think I I love Brian Schottenheimer, and I said this before, just being in that atmosphere Yeah. And the difference between Mike McCarthy is totally
Speaker 1
different. This interview. Yeah.
Speaker 2
And and and really to go out there, and I think he embraces the legacy of these older guys, and and he's a lot of energy. And I think the players really we'll find out how they respond to him because I think it's any professional, whatever whatever it's a college, you know, whatever it is, I think you gotta have a strong coach, and I think he's got the energy. I I think he's you know, it's a more fast pace, and I think you you can kinda sense that just talking to people. But back to Micah, this team cannot be as good without can't be as good without Micah Parsons. And I love the trade. I know the, you know, the defensive tackle they brought in, Clark. I think he's a good player. And and when you say, hey. We need to stop the run. And I'm like, well, you you drafted Mosey Smith, and you did. And there's a couple of guys that you brought in to stop the run, Jerry. And and maybe this is the guy, the Messiah for doing that, but, I mean, I you're who are you kidding yourself? This is more of a personal Yeah. Thing with you not to negotiate. First of all, let me ask you this. And when everyone does a contract, you don't it gets personable. You know? Whenever you start talking to people and you're like, I'm doing a contract, and I don't really wanna hear what's being said about me, so I'll let my agent do it. Yeah. So since when did Jerry, you know, try to you know, his whole deal is he just wanted to look in your eyes
Speaker 2
Have his hypnotic eyes and his, you know, magnetic baby blues. Magnetic Yes. Magnetic personality. And, you know, he's
Speaker 0
he's a very He's the most he's the most powerful man in the world.
Speaker 2
He's very charismatic. Yeah. He wants to get you in a room by yourself and Yeah. And, you know, do you know, get the deal done. And so, yeah, Mike has said, hey. Look. I wanna get as much as I can, and I don't wanna hear all that, you know, the, you know, the you try to sway me and Sure. And and just, you know, fill me up with all these, you know, you know, all these different superlative things about me. I wanna get as much as I can. And so I think he just got a little offended by that.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And I I think I wanna ask you about the documentary and and if you've got I mean, because you you lived all of that. You lived all of it, and it was such a fascinating documentary. And Jerry Jones is such a polarizing and fascinating subject matter. You know, all of those things that, you know, that that happened during that time. Have you watched it, first of all, the documentary? Yeah. Okay. So you watched it just stem to stern. Yeah. Do you feel like it was an accurate depiction of the way things unfolded?
Speaker 2
Yeah. For sure. Yeah. And there's a lot of things in there that left out because I know a lot of players, including myself, has interviewed for six hours, and there was a lot of
Speaker 0
things left on the cutting room floor. What are
Speaker 2
they thinking? Get any get any love, but maybe what I had to say was a little bit too much considering Jerry took over the editing part of it. And, hey. Look. I mean, without Jerry, I mean, it doesn't it doesn't, have the stage of platform with accessibility and everything.
Speaker 2
But, yeah, everything had happened and then some on that in that, that whole generation and decade of how we went out there in both. I mean, we were good at compartmentalizing things.
Speaker 2
Because in this
Speaker 0
so much shit going on. Oh, so unbelievable.
Speaker 2
Hear anything. Now I I I will there was a lot. Now Michael, without a doubt. Michael, I just Michael, I think he made, he, I guess, he made a a comment about there's a lot of crazy people on this team, and Charles and Chuck was the craziest. But I I would say Michael Irvin was probably the craziest.
Speaker 0
And have you ever I don't know that I've ever witnessed I mean, I I guess it's happened. But, like, the rehabilitation to his image and now, I mean, it's it's crazy to me. Like, but
Speaker 2
Well, Michael Michael
Speaker 1
shit he got away with.
Speaker 2
Hey. You know what? We got a lot of it. It's because of that my phone right there is social media. Yeah. Social media and that's that was the best thing about that. And maybe that's the people you you really don't know the story because there's not a lot of
Speaker 2
Like, dead bodies anywhere.
Speaker 0
Oh my god. Imagine that.
Speaker 2
We can't get away.
Speaker 0
We all have them.
Speaker 2
Yeah. We all I had them back in in that decade, but, I don't know. It was, it's it's dysfunctional dysfunctional was our team. Yeah. Because as soon as we left that building, which is unique because, you know, Jimmy Jimmy was crazy. Jimmy was a crazy coach. And I say that this philosophy because the whole thing would not I don't know if you how you've watched the whole series. But him not feeding us on the plane, that's a true story. But there was other there's other couple other things that happened on there, that happened when we lost again. First of all, that was a true story. They didn't he's like, hey. Yeah. You know, they lost. You know? They don't deserve it. Treating us like we're fifteen year olds. Yeah.
Speaker 2
By trying to dis but that was his that was his way of of the mind and, like, trying to, like, make you feel as comfortable as uncomfortable as he was. And I remember when we were our first playoff run-in ninety one, he was telling us, hey. You guys need to you know, you gotta focus on football, you know, because football is my life.
Speaker 2
And that should be that's all it should be. Like, I said, well, we, you know, that's our job, and we'll go home after work and do what we need to do. But, you know, I was right you know, it was on a Friday, and he says, look. You know? He goes, I hear about all these distractions going on and everything, and you guys need to focus on football. And I want you guys to do what I did. I I
Speaker 0
want you to tell all you. I'm a
Speaker 2
tell your wife, your girlfriends, your family, parent, everyone just to stay home, and you'll talk to them after the season. We're like, come on, Jimmy. And then the next that weekend, they had this expose in the Dallas Morning News about he had this estranged relationship Yeah. With his family because he didn't Yeah. He didn't talk to him. And and so the reality of that series is so there there's so much to to unpack and to talk about.
Speaker 0
But And it wasn't included, it sounds like.
Speaker 2
Oh, there's a lot of stuff is included. And and, you know, the thing about him is that he was able to put a fear and the insecurity in guys with the the guys like Michael. I mean, we all went out and partied. I mean, we'd go out. I mean, not just Michael, me. Everyone went out. But the thing that Jimmy did is instill this fear of insecurities. Like, if you show up at you come back to work and you're not focused, I'll cut your ass.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And he did that. He he cut a John Roper
Speaker 2
who fell asleep right next to him. You know? Jimmy snuck in a special teams meeting, and John didn't see him. He just traded for at at Chicago. And John made the the the fatal mistake by fall falling asleep. And Jimmy snuck in, sat right behind him, and tapped him on the tapped him on the on the shoulder and said, hey, John. I said, you need to go in and you need to pack your shit up. Wow. Go in the lock, clean your locker room because I'm cutting you. Go get some sleep. Yeah. And he did that. He used different examples. I mean, he wouldn't he said later on, he'd Troy did that. He'd just say, hey. Just wake up.
Speaker 1
Gotcha. How was your dream?
Speaker 0
What are you dreaming about? We're get you some thoughts. About watching fish. Now what them going them going over and I thought that was hilarious.
Speaker 2
And and that was great about because Troy, Troy was this guy that had this really strong personality. And I wouldn't say stork, but he just you knew he was the guy, like, you know, like a pitcher in baseball. He wants to be he he's in command, and he was in command. And so once he got out of the coaching realm of it in the meeting rooms on the practice field, Troy was a guy. Like, he got in a huddle and he looked at you the wrong way, and he's like, hey. You better, you know, you better be accountable for her. So I think those two guys had the same personality and the same they lived and breathed, which is great. Mhmm. But the whole deal with him going over and sitting in a chair and
Speaker 0
watching the aquarium.
Speaker 2
Watching the aquarium.
Speaker 2
watching, you know, eat fish eat fish and having a six pack of Hanukkah. That was that was pretty good.
Speaker 0
y'all know that was happening when y'all were playing?
Speaker 2
No. We didn't know.
Speaker 0
Y'all would have given him so much shit, would you?
Speaker 2
Hey. You know what? We you know, he was he was I mean, not crazy. There's some of his tactics, like, from when on that trip to Washington, whenever we were flying in, he was gonna cut Frank Corners. She was offensive guard because he was he had a smile on his face, which you don't wanna smile on Jimmy's. We lose the game because of Jimmy because all the coaches in the front of the air in the front of the plane and
Speaker 2
see him walking back. You don't wanna you don't wanna smile. So he caught him laughing. He said, hey. I'm gonna cut your I'm a deal with you tomorrow by saying I'm gonna cut you, and and that's the first time I ever seen a black guy turn white. And then about an hour later, there was a you know, we had storms here in in Dallas, and, you know, you know, I dial DFW. They close now when the wind blows.
Speaker 2
So the the pilot, you know, Jimmy wanted to, like he the thing about it, he just wanna fix it. He wanna get back and, you know, watch the film and, like, he was miserable. And, again, if you you didn't wanna make eye contact with him because he was you just didn't. He it just wasn't a, it wasn't a good, you know, eye contact. So, anyways, you know, they basically said that, the pilot said, hey. We're gonna divert the plan because of the weather. This is on that same trip when we lost to Washington when we didn't eat. We almost cut Frank Shornish Cornish. He gets up out of his seat because on the first guy gets out. And he well, the pilot made an analysis. Hey, guys. I'm sorry, but we're going to divert the the the plane. It'll be an hour late. This is a true story, ladies. Gets out of this chair, opens up the cockpit door, says, I want you to land this fucking plane right now.
Speaker 2
And we're all like, oh my god. You have lost your mind.
Speaker 2
I mean, we're all just looking, and and he's he's serious. He is serious. Oh, okay. And the pilot the pilot the pilot, you know you know, had grabs him by the shoulder and sets him down. He's like, he's just like a little kid, you know, just don't wanna fit. Says, hey, Jimmy. You lost a football game. My response for all these people on this plane sitting
Speaker 0
down in Heineken.
Speaker 2
But that was just Jimmy. I was just it was an insane personality.
Speaker 1
Quite the opposite of what the cowboys have now
Speaker 0
in in Schottenheimer. Right? Do you think the current No. No. You don't think so? Yeah.
Speaker 2
You can't get away with the stuff we did. No. No.
Speaker 1
You can't do I mean No.
Speaker 0
That hard nose coaching. Right?
Speaker 1
Like, people couldn't handle it now. I I don't know. Maybe they could, but they'd never know because they never given the opportunity. But it's just interesting how much it's evolved over the years. I mean
Speaker 2
What's a hybrid, Julie? It's it really is. Is that you gotta have a hybrid of Yeah. Knowing what's and and look. It worked for us because we had success.
Speaker 1
Scared shitless?
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Like, fear of God.
Speaker 0
Oh, and y'all were so talented. Yeah. And those teams were
Speaker 2
And we needed and and and we needed some structure, and that's what I meant. When you look at that Netflix series, you know, there's some guys that, you know, that that were on the verge of just I mean, we were crazy. We did like I said, we did I mean, being living in Dallas in the nineties and winning Super Bowls and young and a professional athlete. I mean, we're rock stars.
Speaker 2
And so we did some really crazy shit. Yeah. We really did.
Speaker 0
But also too okay. And I'm not endorsing, you know, constant crazy shit among sports franchises. But I will say, like, even in the time that I've been covering sports, which is almost, like, twenty seven, twenty eight years now, how much I've seen things change as far as, like, you know, used to back when I first started traveling with the rangers, you know, eight, nine, ten, whenever that was. I mean, the guys are they get to the hotel at ten, eleven. They're they're they've lined up a dinner and going to have drinks and doing whatever, staying out late, all that kind of stuff. And, you know, and those teams those teams in two thousand ten and eleven and even twelve, though those were some of the the most tight knit groups there were. And and it's I feel like it to a certain extent, you have to have some of that. But now every you know, all athletes or the vast majority are so worried about their sleep schedule and their what their diet, and they probably don't even partake in, which I'm not knocking any of that. All those things are great. Be healthy. Be healthy. But but there is some of that, like, doing dumb shit together and hanging out and just doing, you know, being doing bro stuff.
Speaker 2
About stuff we did.
Speaker 0
Right. Right. Like I said, that wasn't interesting.
Speaker 2
That do you see the, White House
Speaker 2
I wouldn't I wouldn't condone that.
Speaker 1
But Within moderation. Within moderation.
Speaker 2
I know what you mean.
Speaker 0
You know what it means. Yeah.
Speaker 2
You it builds it builds a little brotherhood besides just going to work and, you know, I a hundred and sixty games of, baseballs, that's a long season. I I could see, you know, I'd be a little redundant after, you know, just
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, I'm not saying Oh,
Speaker 2
I know. But I know what I know what
Speaker 2
know what you mean. Yeah.
Speaker 2
And I think that's what we did. We did we built, we built the bond outside of the building.
Speaker 0
Yep. Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. However you do that. Yeah. However you do that.
Speaker 2
However Well, no. We go out and have dinner and just hang out and just Yeah. You know, we gotta build some, you know, relationship just, you know, because, you know, I think that's what's not great about sports, especially art, you know, and football is that you don't have to like each other, but you gotta respect each other. And if some guys going out for partying and and not taking care of business, you know, making a lot of mental errors and the reason why someone capitalize on, you know, the mental mistake, then they're gonna call you out. So I think that that's what we kinda you know, you gotta have that. You gotta you gotta build that that that bonding with each other. Right. Just on, hey. We're gonna sit here and do you know, you know, we're gonna sit here and and do a podcast, but after that, you know, we're not we're gonna go home to separate way. I mean, just kinda use that as an example. You can build that relationship, but we did that.
Speaker 0
With it. Yeah. Yeah. It was a very strong foundation. Okay. With that being said, how how how strong is that bond still to this day? I mean, how many of those guys do you still stay in touch with and keep up with?
Speaker 2
Well, I we get to see each other. We and I think that's one thing that Jerry and and and coach Schottenheimer did and since he took over is that he's already invited us back. Because I think he really and and, again, I didn't I always thought Mike McCarthy was this guy, you know, this big fat dude on the sideline. I'd say fat. I mean, he he was robust.
Speaker 2
I'm not body shaming. Helping me. I'm sorry. My bad.
Speaker 0
Yes. We're we're we're fine. You're fine.
Speaker 2
But he look he looks like he's one of those guys that used to go and have a burger with a with a a a cold beer. Right? Yep. Yeah. But, it seemed like that wasn't his personality. He's more a professional guy and just kinda kept his head down and really just kinda, hey. Look. I'm I'm Mike McCarthy, and and I I won a Super Bowl at the Green Bay and yada yada. Oh, by the way, you had Aaron Rodgers. You had Brett Aaron Rodgers, and and so you had some pretty good quarterback. So, so I under I I just it's a different different again, I would mention it's a different, vibe and and and really just, he wants to make this an environment where, you know, the players understand, you know, what, you know, what built this legacy and everything. And so I I I I see that, and I think he's a lot of accountability too. And and that's why, I mean, when I first the the whole Mica trade, I was just thinking to myself, like a lot of other people and former players, is that's one of your best I I think he was the best player they had on that team Yeah. By far.
Speaker 0
Lot of people think that. Yeah.
Speaker 2
So I'm just saying I'm thinking it's his first year, and, hopefully, this is not gonna detour that. But you don't know. There must be other things going on with Micah that people maybe it wasn't a team guy or anything like that, but I think that's different. I don't know if that's gonna equate to them winning twelve games. And I don't know if that's gonna be the, you know, the the number or what they're getting success they're gonna do, but have, but, he he's saying the right things, and I just feel like he's the kind of guy that when you look at him, he's he's not full of bullshit. Yeah. And that's I think that's what I like about that's his personality.
Speaker 0
And it does take somebody special you know, it takes a special kind of personality trait, whether it be the approach that Jimmy had instilling that fear or the ability to relate like it appears Shadi has to relate to these dudes who are grown ass men who are getting paid way more than you are. You have to have you have to have a a different approach to how you're gonna motivate that group of people. It's not like coaching a bunch of high school kids. I mean, this is a completely different.
Speaker 2
Brand. I think the brand too is that is that I was talking to Troy one time or I asked him a question. I was and I and I said, hey. What do you what do you think the difference would be in now and you know, then and now? I said, well, I probably have about five million followers on Instagram because now that's the you know, that's Yeah. It's currently with the cowboy brand, it's automatic. You know, because it's a brand and it's more celebrity, it's more me and, you know, this platform as opposed to just and I think sometimes kind of people just I I don't know if that's it's inaccurate accurate, but I think, really, I think a lot of guys get caught up in that when they haven't done anything at all. What the hell have you done for me lately?
Speaker 2
And I think the the old school guys and the fans and everything else who follow these guys and, you know, celebrity athlete, At the end of the day, you gotta give them something to what they're paying for.
Speaker 2
And not paying to go just to be part of the spectacle. You wanna be part of greatness whenever they finish the season.
Speaker 1
What along those lines, what do you think of college athletics and the NIL and everything going on there? Is that is this good or bad? Are we heading in a positive direction
Speaker 0
or or negative?
Speaker 2
I I don't really you know, I I was the biggest, OU guy. I mean, I, obviously, that's why I had my career at Oklahoma. And I just I think the NIL and the transfer portal's run college football. Although there were some great games this last weekend, I mean, there was some some hellacious games, But I think that the they need to fix it. I mean, NCAA also I don't know what they were thinking about. It's like, hey. It's just like a free for all.
Speaker 2
You know, the NIL money. Again, you know, high school kids, I heard high there's they're paying high school kids and NIL. I mean, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And then you got the transfer portal, which
Speaker 0
like the it's it's the wild west in college football right now.
Speaker 2
And you pay somebody you pay, you know, these players making them two or three million dollars a year, and then they transfer the next year. And there's not really any you know, there's there's no retention there, and there's there's no not loyalty, but, hey. Look. Let's get a couple of years from you. Yeah. And I it's like last night, I was watching North Carolina and, TCU Yeah. And, Bill Belichick or welcome to the college football.
Speaker 0
Is that not effing insane?
Speaker 2
It is. It's weird. It seems
Speaker 0
that he would put up with this shit. Like, he doesn't have to. He's rich AF. He's got a girlfriend who's fifty years younger than him. What do
Speaker 2
you guys think about that, Bob? I was gonna
Speaker 0
ask you. I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1
Well, god bless him. Yes.
Speaker 2
No. I I'm just I mean, that's another subject. But my point being is that They keep She it's and Yeah.
Speaker 1
I can't be real.
Speaker 0
Right? Praying on him. Who wants to
Speaker 2
do that? Seventy one, and I'm looking at it. It's like, dude, he
Speaker 0
he He's not hot.
Speaker 2
Yeah. I I think she's got she must have something on him or something. I I what? She I
Speaker 0
it it it's so perplexing to me. And I feel like if the roles were reversed and this was a, you know, twenty five year old dude going after a seventy five year old woman, we would all be up in arms. Why? He was taking advantage of her.
Speaker 2
Because she had she she had money. Right.
Speaker 0
And then there's no Yeah. I think she's she's preying on the elderly. I really feel that.
Speaker 2
Think it's elderly abuse?
Speaker 0
I do. I she's so bossy
Speaker 1
does. She owns him, it seems like.
Speaker 2
Yeah. He's he's winning rings in all different kind of categories.
Speaker 0
Right? I guess so. I guess
Speaker 2
Anyway, I like talking about this one. I think
Speaker 1
everything else. Now he just needs a side piece.
Speaker 0
He's got the ultimate bragging rights at the retirement home.
Speaker 0
what I'm gonna be like, yeah.
Speaker 2
You don't like to have the the sleeves cut off. I mean, he He did look a little robust when I was watching him on the side
Speaker 0
of mine. It just and the stuff he's doing, the crazy shit on social media where he's, like, pretending like he's a fisherman. He's dressing up as a fisherman, and she's a mermaid or something. And I'm like, he's like,
Speaker 2
who is this man? And that's the least guy I would think because he's so he's always always you gotta be in control. Right?
Speaker 2
He has no control. Yeah. And he So it's kinda like, how did he, like, change?
Speaker 0
It doesn't make sense. None of it.
Speaker 1
I think we all know. We all know how.
Speaker 0
It must be golden. It must be golden. It must be lying to
Speaker 2
think one more time. Drugs, man.
Speaker 0
I guess I could get
Speaker 1
of those drugs. Seriously.
Speaker 2
Anyways, what was your question again?
Speaker 0
No. I just it's just insanity to me. It is. It really is. Like, it's
Speaker 2
one of the greatest at practice, and she Yes. She's I mean, she's I don't know. What's she saying?
Speaker 2
She's kind of a got that bitchy kind
Speaker 0
of I was just about saying. She is no. She's no. She is bitchy.
Speaker 0
mean, she's like She's
Speaker 2
got she's, like, taking him in control and it
Speaker 0
It would be like, honestly, it would if this happened to Jimmy Johnson, in my opinion. So if that's it's I put them on the same, like, crazy football coach. This is my whole life. This is what You're right. Yeah. As Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2
That's a great that's a great
Speaker 2
Comparison. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 0
Except for Jimmy's at least handsome.
Speaker 2
But, no, the fact that
Speaker 0
way too old for him anyway.
Speaker 2
I should have to worry
Speaker 0
Yeah. Way too old. I'm out of his age. Hey.
Speaker 2
I'm like, why can't you go out there and find you a hot forty year
Speaker 0
old? Hot. There's plenty of them out there?
Speaker 2
I know. But, yeah, it's just so unusual to to thank. But back to the whole him yeah. I I don't know why he I don't To see him sense. To see him coaching in college football. And He doesn't need this. That's eighty transfer portal guys that come with me out of the transfer portal.
Speaker 2
football. It's hard it's hard to watch because, again, it's like, you're paying some guy, and he's you know, he he take the money and run the next year. So I just think that they have to it it's it's professional sports. Yeah. And so here's what bothers me is some of these guys get so sensitive because you criticize them, these college athletes, but they're eighteen. They're making four million dollars a year. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2
You know, if you're Archie Manning junior or whoever you are, you know, you're making that you're gonna get criticized. There's not like any you know, he's only seventeen.
Speaker 0
Yeah. He's just he's
Speaker 2
a grown ass man now. Yeah.
Speaker 2
he's making four million a year, and that's my guy. And I'm paying to go watch him, and he's getting paid.
Speaker 1
Yeah. It just seems like it happened so fast. You know? It happens like it blinked
Speaker 0
in house. During COVID. I remember the because I remember I was I remember when I was when I was on a walk and they said, like, the law whatever lawsuit or whatever ruling that came down from whatever that it I was like, here we go. It it is going to be the wild west because certain schools will just be like, we are gonna blow this thing fucking out of the water until they tell us we can't anymore, And that's exactly what's happened. Yeah.
Speaker 2
And I mean, who would have thought they'd blow it up like this, though?
Speaker 0
Oh, and then the transfer portal is a whole I mean, it's just all it's crazy. It's like, you know, we always talked about, you know, how what NFL coaches have to deal with. Well, now college coaches, it do you put recruiting
Speaker 2
I hate to be college coach.
Speaker 2
There's no way. I had a chance to be a college coach or, in the NFL. There's no way I could be you know, Nick Saban, I think he got he got out when he could because he's such a control guy.
Speaker 0
Yeah. He's like, I'm not messing with this.
Speaker 2
Guys I mean, I got paid when I was playing at o u. I got the thousand dollar handshakes.
Speaker 2
But I I couldn't imagine. And to your point about COVID, there's guys that were in college football for ten years.
Speaker 0
They'd be like, he's
Speaker 2
like, forty eight years.
Speaker 2
He's a he's a tenth he's a tenth year senior.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Oh my god.
Speaker 0
It was absolutely insane.
Speaker 1
Okay. It is the mom game, though. So real quick, just, wanna touch on parenting. Oh, yeah. You've got a couple of kids. Right?
Speaker 1
kids. Three kids.
Speaker 2
I'm a Poppy now. I have a five year old grandson.
Speaker 0
What we called my my daddy. We called my Poppy. Yeah.
Speaker 2
It's going good. My I'm Poppy, and, my my wife's, she's Coco.
Speaker 1
Oh, that's really cute.
Speaker 2
Have a damn. I I just
Speaker 2
But I like Poppy. Yeah. It's going good. It's going really good.
Speaker 1
Old is your grandbaby?
Speaker 2
Five months old.
Speaker 1
Five months old.
Speaker 2
And what's weird is that he looks exactly like my son when he was five months old. Exactly. Like, there's no there's no doubt that that's not his, not his his son.
Speaker 2
feel I feel jeans. I feel bad for my daughter-in-law because I'm like, well, maybe the girl look a little hopefully, the girl look like you.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It'll come out just be a boy with long hair. Look.
Speaker 2
It's pretty fascinating. Yeah. It's just a it's a different perspective. Yeah. You guys are obviously a long, long way from them. I mean, you never know. But,
Speaker 0
it's enough to help. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Speaker 2
Oh, I know. It's a long, long way.
Speaker 0
Kidding. I I Yes. You never know. I do know. Damn it. It's gonna be a long way away.
Speaker 2
Hey. I'm saying that to my twenty five year olds. But, yeah. So it's, it's it's cool. It really is. Yeah.
Speaker 0
So what all have you been doing in the almost thirty years since you left the game?
Speaker 2
Has it been thirty?
Speaker 0
It well, I mean, you said ninety eight. Right? Ninety seven ninety eight ninety seven. Damn. So that would be it'll be you're twenty eight.
Speaker 2
So, when I first I retired, I got into broadcasting, did radio, TV, did that, played a lot of golf, started gotten a lot of business ventures, made money, lost money. And then, I, I've been very fortunate. Play a lot of golf now. I love to work out. That's my passion. I mean, I think You
Speaker 2
Well, I mean, I appreciate that. But I I think that, one of the things that, you know, as a former NFL player, I I remember when they first came in NFL PA, they met with the players, and they said, hey, guys. The mortality rate for rate for for NFL players that played certain years is is a certain age. I'm like, wow. You know, when you're twenty five, you're not thinking about that. Okay. I'm never gonna it's gonna be forever.
Speaker 2
Yeah. I'm not thinking about yeah. Papi. Yeah. Papi, pappy, something like you can call me grandpa, papa, whatever.
Speaker 0
Spain, Italy, whatever. Right. All the same. Yeah.
Speaker 2
So so, so I I I just, I never thought about it until I got out of I retired, and then I started seeing other guys I play with in college and NFL. They're gone. So I just think I think for me, cognitively, it's more it's more therapy for me to be able to have that tie of euphoric feeling and still be able to do it. I mean, you still your body's battered, but still, it just does a whole lot. So I I enjoy doing that, traveling, kinda sell semi retired. But I I I just, I've been fortunate. I just try to, you know, I just try to keep in the lane and just try to do, you know, do things and and, you know, not do it do it sooner than later.
Speaker 2
You know? Yeah. Because that's really you know, you talk about moms. I just lost my mom about a month ago. Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah. And so I always think about, you know, with the mom, especially, the mom's your your son's first love. So I'm thinking, nah. I just wanna do things. You know? I wanna do things while I can and enjoy and Smart. While I'm still active. You know?
Speaker 1
Spend as much time with your family as you can and and make those memories. Did your kids play sports at all?
Speaker 1
Uh-huh. How was that?
Speaker 2
I think there's this old version of of as an athlete and having your kids, if you've been successful that there is kind of this pressure that Yeah. You kinda put on them because just because they're Yeah. Whoever their fat parents are. And so I really didn't I didn't really, like, push it down the throat like some of these other parents do. I mean, I'm sure that you guys have been
Speaker 1
around a lot on YouTube.
Speaker 0
Sports out of control.
Speaker 2
I hate it. I hate it. I mean, I hated the fact that the way these, you know, these parents and especially now with NIL and all these people. It's like, oh, yeah. And I'm sure you guys have
Speaker 0
been around. Until pro
Speaker 0
Paid. We can get paid before.
Speaker 2
So, hey. Take care of mom and daddy when you get and so, I never really did I wanted to play, and I but I I I was really had a lot of anxiety watching them play football because, you know, it's just as a parent, it's totally different as an athlete doing it. You don't think about that. So I just I always always always wanna make sure that they wanna understood the fundamentals and understood the game, and, you know, you don't have to be you know, you don't have to play a hundred and fifty select baseball games or go to all this, you know, all these different academies and everything. And but, yeah, I just I I my son, my youngest one, Jett, twins, and Sofia and then Chase, my oldest one, he got a he got a bad concussion, like a bad one his senior year in in in high school. And I'm
Speaker 2
I tell you what, that was a that hit me hard.
Speaker 2
And you guys know, you know, football is a violent game. Yeah. I saw that and I'm like, man. I said, I don't want you to play football again.
Speaker 2
And he, you know, he went he didn't play he didn't play in high school, but, yeah, I just you guys talk about this
Speaker 2
It's an asinine. Right? We What are these parents thinking about?
Speaker 0
It's a lot. It's a lot. I mean, it and I I think about and, I mean, I'm guilty of some of it. I mean, we're we've been on a select baseball team for a number of years for Henry because we thought it was best for him, but then we're you know, Hattie's about she's playing flag football, and then she's playing you know, she was looking at club soccer, and, fortunately, I pushed her I'm sorry. Club volleyball. Thank god we dropped soccer a few years ago. Club volleyball, and I was, like, was looking at the price tag and the time commitment. And, you know, this organization wanted you to, like, text them pictures of their dinner the night before a tournament, like, to make sure they're eating healthy.
Speaker 1
Kids. These are children.
Speaker 2
And I'll meet I'll meet a cheeseburger with a French fries.
Speaker 1
Right. Why don't we get oh, forgot
Speaker 2
to cook in my milkshake.
Speaker 0
Right? Then I'm the kind of parent that's like, f you. You can't tell me what to feed my kids. You don't ask. Serious? Yes. You do not Oh my god.
Speaker 2
You're taking it to a different level.
Speaker 0
It's all everything. Much. All it's all crazy. It's all crazy. And I I just it's it's like every, you know, season, it seems like, you hear or experience something else that's just so fucking next level.
Speaker 2
You know what I'm doing? Though as a parent? Because you gotta you don't you don't feel like because some I think some, like
Speaker 1
Oh, that's real.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like, could you some people thought they get persuaded and and influenced because they feel like, oh, Johnny or Jennifer, she's in the club soccer or club volleyball or football or whatever. I gotta I gotta get them there because, you know, they gotta play at that level when they're eight years old.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. We've we've tried to be good about I mean, there's a couple decisions we've made that been like, we feel like felt like early on it was in the best interest if we go this way instead of this way. But I think now we really try to we just we let our kids dictate. Like, do you wanna play this sport?
Speaker 0
Yeah. Then if if there's, like, the slightest hesitation, it's like, no. It takes too much time, too much energy, too much effort, not just on you, but on us as well, too much money. Like, if you don't if you're not into it and you don't love it, like, let's punt it. Like, we don't have to do it. Yeah. And so I think once they reach a cert I think in the beginning, you're trying to expose them to everything, which is kinda where Julie is right now.
Speaker 0
I think Julie's kids are in, like, every sport that's ever been invented. But you're trying to figure out
Speaker 1
There's some they're not doing. Right. But the tough thing that we're experiencing is fourth grade, everyone's going club. Fourth grade.
Speaker 1
My son is in fourth grade, and he's had multiple teams disintegrate the rec level. So I'm coaching my husband and I are coaching a random rec soccer team this year just to keep it alive.
Speaker 1
I don't know any of these boys. We don't know if they've played before. It's gonna be it's gonna be wild. It'll be fun, though. But it's just because he still wanted to play soccer, and I didn't wanna put him in club. Yeah. And it's just sad that that's the way things are
Speaker 2
going. To pigeonhole, and I think it's like, oh, you gotta pick. Oh, you either gotta do do you have baseball player or especially in high school? Yep. That's a good baseball player, basketball, you know, football Yeah. Volleyball. This is what you gotta do. It's like, what happened to the days whenever you
Speaker 2
And I think that's what you guys just stood. You know? It's like, let them don't don't don't make it. Don't put any pressure on. If they wanna do it, let them do it. Yeah. You know? It's I I'm I don't don't do it for me.
Speaker 0
I'm not living vicariously through you. Right. And I think too a lot I think my job has has made me not so that way because I've seen and all the guys that I've talked to are, like, I my advice would be play as many sports as you can as long as you can. Like, I don't know. I just and I I realize the the level that you have to be at in order to make it at the highest level, And the odds of that happening
Speaker 2
Parents have no clue.
Speaker 0
Are very slim. And so it's like, I want you to play these sports because I want them to teach you discipline, hard work, being a good teammate, all those kind of things. Do I do I hope that you make it to the big leagues? Absolutely. I hope that. Do I think that that's a reasonable expectation? Absolutely not.
Speaker 0
But you can take those things that I just talked about. Those things that that's gonna take you far if you learn how to play hard, have fun, be a good teammate, learn discipline, structure, all that kind of stuff. That's gonna help you not just to try to be a baseball player. That's gonna help you in any sort of profession. And I I think we just lose sight of that. And so many parents get their identity from what their kid does on social
Speaker 1
too for the parents. It's like, all these other parents are all doing this club, and I wanna go yeah.
Speaker 0
And it's like two the the the ones that kill me are the ones that only like, they'll post, like, a picture of the kid playing soccer or whatever. And then they have to tell you how many goals they scored, how many shot attempts, and came up just short, but we got the runner-up ring or like, it's like, is it okay if we just post a picture of our kid in his uniform? Like, I don't I'm not gonna tell you stats. Like, I don't I just feel like there's just that so much validation coming from parents and that the kids can feel that even if you don't tell it to them verbally. They can see that that you know? And it's one thing to be proud, but I feel like so many parents get their identity about what little Johnny is able to do on a football field, on a basketball court, on a baseball field, on a volleyball court, whatever. It's just a
Speaker 2
football game. Trying to throw a slider when he's ten.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Right? Exactly. Football.
Speaker 2
And his arm. Oh my god. I'm sure. You you know, you guys have stories idea.
Speaker 2
Like, out there, you know, you have Tommy John surgeon when you're fifteen or set set I've heard stories like that.
Speaker 0
My husband is so adamant about Henry's a pitcher, and he's a pretty good little pitcher. He doesn't I mean, he doesn't throw terribly hard. He's smart. He likes to mix his pitches. Like, it's I I love watching him pitch. But Mike, my husband, is so adamant about, like, he will only let him throw so many pitches. And Henry gets so pissed. And, you know, and we try to tell him all the time, like, he's just looking out for you. Like, we just want you to we just it's just not smart. Yeah. You know? You're too young.
Speaker 2
You gotta let the body develop.
Speaker 0
But then you go to these tournaments, and there's these coaches that will just ride a kid. And, thankfully, there are parameters in place, but it's those are even a little high. It's just like it's just it's just sad. And it's sad on the parental level. It's sad on the these people running these organizations and tournaments and all that. It's just
Speaker 2
They have they still have the parents, like, screaming at at their kid in the stands and
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You can tell. Yeah. Oh. The kids that, like, hang their head when they're walking into a game or out of a game, you know that they're just getting
Speaker 1
by their parents, and it's not fun.
Speaker 2
And, you know, most of those guy most of those kids, they usually end up quit quitting when
Speaker 1
they're working. Because they're tired of it.
Speaker 2
Thought, I'm like, I don't wanna listen to you anymore. And then my parents
Speaker 0
Like, Like, I know
Speaker 1
a way to shut my parents up. Just quit. Yeah. Yeah. The only way to stop yelling at me.
Speaker 2
Let them have fun.
Speaker 1
Right. And that's that's what I think what it comes down to. I think it's all about having fun at this point.
Speaker 0
I know. But just And
Speaker 1
people who aren't doing that and and take the fun out of the game, it's just it's just sad.
Speaker 2
Little Johnny can make a million dollars.
Speaker 0
Right. On NIL. Let's go. Get my money sooner. Let's go. Yeah. A little bit investment in my end. Yeah. It pays off. Yeah.
Speaker 1
It's crazy. It's crazy. But that's why we like having those conversations, and we love the perspective Yeah. From somebody like you who's won Super Bowls and played in the NFL.
Speaker 2
Well, here's the thing also is that I really think that, you know, you're talking about sports and literally, you know, in high school sports. It's amazing how intimidating these these coaches are when you have, you know, a son or or a daughter that has a a, you know, their parents or, you know, one of the parents, a professional athlete, and they've had success, how insecure and intimidated they get when they wanna give their input.
Speaker 2
that's another thing that drives me crazy. And I had a I had a hard time. You know, my wife says, you know, sometimes you just don't know when to shut up. And there's a
Speaker 0
I've heard that a time or two.
Speaker 2
You heard that before?
Speaker 0
Not from your wife, but from my husband. From his wife?
Speaker 2
I said that to you?
Speaker 2
Oh, no. Oh, I was gonna say
Speaker 0
I'll talk about that. Husband. Yeah.
Speaker 0
Okay. Y'all have
Speaker 0
back. You talk too much or she talks too much.
Speaker 2
Oh, I always talk too
Speaker 0
much. Okay. Same.
Speaker 0
I can identify.
Speaker 2
So I I I always always always felt like, what is the deal? Because I'm a I wanna I I live in a community. I wanna volunteer. I wanna help your team out. But some of these coaches, and especially some of these coaches are in a in a bubble coaching a bubble where they their their athletic program or football program is not very good. They don't wanna hear the input of, you know, someone that's had experience and wants to go help these guys because they're intimidated. Or I don't know whatever insecurity they are. Like, dude, I'm just trying to help out. Oh, we don't need your help. You know? Even though
Speaker 0
Or do they just know it all?
Speaker 2
Oh, exactly. Uh-huh. They know it all.
Speaker 0
There's a lot of that.
Speaker 2
Yeah. We know more I know more a lot more than you do.
Speaker 2
You know, I played junior high football, and now I'm a coach. So I know everything because that's my, you know Yep. Yeah. That's my my expertise.
Speaker 1
Right? Or maybe they don't want you to come in and be like, hey. You all need to chill out. Y'all are crazy.
Speaker 1
done that before. Good.
Speaker 2
And that's what I I was saying.
Speaker 2
these people. Yeah. And and I think that that sometimes with, and I hear that a lot with with the former athletes. And it's not just it's kinda it's kinda the the way, you know, that's the norm, it seems like. And there's some But those are
Speaker 0
the chill ones.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. And there are some coaches that are like, hey. Look. We hey. Help me out.
Speaker 2
don't want your job. I just wanna make you you know, I just wanna give back. So it just seems to me it's just they're kinda resistant to that.
Speaker 0
Right. You're all you
Speaker 0
You're welcome to come to McLean Middle School anytime and help the
Speaker 2
Wanna throw some
Speaker 2
Throw some throw some junk?
Speaker 0
