And you'll see several of these types of videos sloating
around that YouTube because this is a hotly contested topic
(01:44):
of discussion, not just in the media, but apparently between
both principal parties. Seen Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons ding
Ding Ding ding Ding, or as I like to deem it,
Jerry Versus Salary Cap Part three, As we are now
the third installation of those recent Jerry Jones Versus Salary
Cap with Dak Prescott and C. D. Limb, and now
we're at the Michael Parsons iteration. But this one has
(02:07):
gone further in turn, not necessarily in length, but in
acrimony because Michael went full notes app and generally you
should never go full notes app no, but at this one,
I was like, you know what, the guy might got a.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Point, shouldn't go full NOTESAP. I didn't. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well because and I say that kind of ingest, but honestly,
and I saw some people kind of speculating, do you
think that Michael wrote this whole thing?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
And then people kind of.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Like, I can't write you graduated from Vince State.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, no, that's what saying. You think Michael wrote the
whole thing? And I thought, and I don't say this
to make a to make light of it. I think
he absolutely did. Because there was some like grammatical mistakes
that you would make if you were like shooting off
a text message right that you know, I should say,
the more mistakes, more grammatical. I'm not really caring about.
I'm getting this off of my chest. It's like this
(02:59):
is from the heart and it tracks to me in
a way because Michael Parsons since joining the Cowboys has
been star on the chest.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I am a Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Favor team coming up through and through like yeah, like
I'm a fan of the Cowboys and I love being
a Cowboy and has been, for lack of a better,
terminent ambassador for the Cowboys throughout his rookie deal, and
in the note that he put out on Twitter Friday,
he said he approached Jerry two years ago for a deal.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
No interest. I can get that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
From the Cowboys side. We got to take care of
our quarterback. We gotta take care of our receiver, says
they approached. He approached again in last offseasons, say okay,
I get it. We still gotta we gotta take every
we gotta take every You're next, right, you're coming up,
you're down the line.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
We got you.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
When it's your turn, we'll take care of you. Well,
now it's his turn. You know how I know it's
his turn because when you go to the Wikipedia a
of his draft and you look down the list, there'll
be a little cross that says Pro Bowl right.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Next to the guys who make the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Everybody in the first round's made the Pro Bowl on
that list is now on their second contract, except for
Michael Parsons, who arguably is the second the best or
second best or third best player out of that class.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
That's how I know it's time. That's how Miken knows
this time.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
And that's how most importantly of all, apparently David Mullagetta
knows this time. Who is a man who I know,
not personally, but you know how I know it was
when j C.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Horn signed his deal.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Because I look back, I said, dog, because you know
all the all the insiders. Now, of course they have
to tell David Muligetta athletes first, nobody, Bill Duffies c
AA or whoever, by whoever, by whomever, David mulla Getta
gets his numbers. He he read every every almost every
one of his clients gets something. Jac I have paid this, Stingley,
(05:01):
I has paid that most guaranteed this most guaranteed that
there's a framework of that deal.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
And you look at it, you like, yo, damn.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It kind of honestly reminds me of when Rich Paul
started moving through the NBA.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Like, yo, who got what.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm not saying he's a bad player, but it's like, damn,
he's like, oh, David is cracking heads.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Over there, cracking He's making it happen.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
And so with all of that, you take what Jerry
said just recently, and I was just like I was
just like I was, I was gobs backed when.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I heard somebody who has this much experience in this
business respond to reports and questions about this in this way.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Let's talk about the negotiations real quick. It's my understanding,
nothing was put in writing. So how would you describe
a deal getting, so to speak, done and then walked
away from.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I bought to Dallas Cowboys with a handshake. Took about
thirty and I gave the number of shook hands. The
details we worked out later. As a matter of fact,
one of the details involved a lot of money and
we had to flip a coin over that. But the
fundamental I'm buying and you're going to sell it to
me for that range, that's done, and those are done
(06:18):
with eye contact and handshake. So is there just so
you understand why I the way that I communicate with
people that I negotiate with. So let's leave it at that.
There is no question that in the case of a
player or contract, you have to have it in writing.
(06:38):
All parties. Do we have a contract in writing, yet
we're still talking about renegotiating it.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
So so much for that.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So Buck, let me ask you fundamentally, as Jerry said,
the fundamental, yeah, part of that deal. Who's off here?
To me, it sounds like the old man one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
It sounds like the old man is office. Sounds like
he thought that he had a handshake agreement. Hey, this
is what is going to be to be like around
this much if you go with this, like, let's let's
we'll get it done. We'll take care of the particulars later,
loop your agent in in, YadA, YadA, YadA. And now
there ben a few other deals that have gone down
(07:24):
that have changed the money for those guys.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
TJ.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Watt well over forty million dollars. Michael wants to make
sure he's in that or above that ballpark. That that
ranged that figure. So maybe it put a pause on
what he was ready to agree to because the numbers changed.
When you're Jerry Jones, and I'll say this, maybe maybe
(07:48):
the Cowboys aren't as high on Micah the personality as
they are the player. And when you give a strong
personality like that the money, now you get him a
platform where he not that he hijacks the franchise, but
he comes the unquestioned leader of the team, where you
(08:10):
want him to be the leader or the representative of
a team or not.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know, this is the first I've heard of this,
Like for obviously, consume a ton. This is a fascinating angle.
I had not considered one bet.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
So here's where here's where you have to go back
to go back to remember Michael Parsons was a twelfth
overall pick in the draft class. Yeah, when we look
back at the names that went ahead of him, you're like,
they gotta go ahead of him. Where there was some
conversation about him, not moral character, but just football character,
personality kind of how does he feel?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
He's loud, he's boy, Yeah, he's all that. Like he
can be. You can be a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You're not worried about him in society, but in your
locker room he can be a lot.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
And you've seen him be like he has this podcast,
he has all this other stuff whatever.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
So you have to be ready to deal with that.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
And a lot of times in league circles, in locker
room circles, they say, whatever the person is, it's gonna
be times ten when you give him a bag. And
so when you give him the bag and you give
him all of that, well this now mushrooms and escalates
and becoming even bigger personality in the locker room and
(09:17):
are you okay with that? And if you're not okay
with it, then you do what the cowboys are doing.
You slow play this out because there's no leverage for
Michael Parsons when it comes to holding out in those things, right, sure,
like that the CBA made it where it's prohibitive for
someone to hold out. So if the Cowboys try to
dribble this out, what recourse does Mica have?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, be just to the point, he's already committed.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
He's already shown up, so he can't if he goes
home for longer than five days, then basically he's right
back in the situation.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
He's in again next year.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
He's right back.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So now, what are you gonna It's gonna be Chris
Jones sitting up there with the Goodfellas on Sunday Night
Football a couple of years ago, Like, is that what
he's gonna do?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Like, there's really not.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
Much he can And Chris told everybody they cost him
a lot of money, right, he didn't get that money
back even when he did his deal.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
So that's the thing. So okay, so he stuck. So
he has to play this out.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Well, even things like okay, I'll just played the deal out,
and I'd be fraid to know you won't, because now
we put your franchise tag on you, I'll play that out.
Oh we put another one on you. So now they've
held him up for three years on his.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Back and to the first year franchise tag would not
be that it would be pretty comparable to what he's
making on his rookie deal, because that crazy that the
average is not. The top is high, but the average
is not. That second franchise tack.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Over what it is.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
But then yeah, it would be big, but then the
Cowboys be like, yeah, well we got you now, so
they still kind of have him. And there was conversation
in the past about with the Cowboys trade him already
looking to trade him all those other things. It just
appears to me now the Cowboys dragged their feet with everybody,
Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and every comes time to they
(11:00):
dragged defeat.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
This is what makes this one feel different to me.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Part respectfully, I did not hear no reports about how
Dave Jerry Jones was like what's his name, Tyler, Tyler
Italy or Todd Franz, who's Dak's agent, Like I didn't
hear none of it, Like like no, Like okay, so
I get you, but like no, Dak, Todd Francis Cia
(11:25):
went and called Jerry Jones and and sure they did
the deal drag out.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm sure if we subpoened the phone records, there's probably
multiple phone calls back and forth between the Frisco, Texas
and wherever the hell Todd Franz works at. But for
all the reporting we've heard about this one, apparently the
Cowboys and David Mulata got the other on block because
they're not calling each other. Nobody's talking to nobody.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
I mean talking right now, we're just trying to figure
it out. Like eighteen months, we haven't really engaged in discussion.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
At some point.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
They get to the table and they'll talk and they'll
figure out what needs to be done. But right now,
I think Jerry enjoys the sport of negotiations. I don't
know if you've ever been out with someone who just
loves to argue. They just love to like box back
and forth, or that one of their homeboys love it.
Just bro we don't have to argue about everything. I
feel like Jerry Jones dead gay. He loves it, like
(12:21):
he feeds off of like the negotiation. At the end
of the day, like if he squeezes out one more
dollar out of you that he could he can walk
away happy. I feel like this is the kind of
negotiation that's gonna be very contentious until he gets done,
but eventually get done.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay, so this is the thing, then what does he
like more negotiations are winning super Bowls? Because I don't
understand how what he's doing right now.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It's one thing if you're dragging out negotiations throughout the
channels in which negotiations are always dragged out. It's another
thing entirely to me to go and whether or not
Michael Parsons was actually circumvented. He sures hell feels like
he was right. So if it's a lie, we fight
(13:08):
on that lie. Right at this point, like he feels
like he was. Hey, David will get it from what
I can tell. You want to talk about somebody who
enjoys negotiations, because I feel like it's like every GM
walks out of there like damn, I need to make
sure I still have the same amount of blood in
my body that I did when I walked in here,
Like Jerry going straight to Micah and intimating that he
(13:30):
had some handshake deal.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Sure, deals like that get made all of the time. Yep.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
However, it's almost like Jerry forgot the asterisk he put
on the end. We'll figure out the particulars later, right,
this is later. These are the particulars. Like that's what
I'm not understanding.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Like, that's what he is. He loves, he loves this,
he loves the theater of it all. But you know what,
he really loves the fact that you and I continue
to talk about the brand, the Cowboys brand, and all conversation,
in their mind is great conversation. All attention is good,
good attention, because it only enhances the brand. And remember
this about the Cowboys. The Cowboys, they'll pay their stars,
(14:13):
but they don't pay anybody else. Right, They have a
lot of cash that they keep on the books. It
is a ten billion dollar operation when it comes. I mean,
it is the most valued franchise in sports. The brand
is big for a team that hasn't done anything in
thirty years.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Honestly, I think that that you're actually short changing them
because if the Lakers sold for ten billion dollars, the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So valuation for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
If Jerry Jones wanted to sell them, he'd be able
to buy a continent, right, like not a country.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Yeah, but that's that, And they enjoy the business of it.
Like I had a chance to look at America's sweet
artists like the Cowboys, Chileader Doc and you can't sit
on there. You see how they they the brand is
the brand is real. I think he realizes that. And
while they're engaged in this conversation with Micah, like they
just have to make sure a want to do this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's That's the thing that just drives me nuts because
having the conversation.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
With Micah is one thing and one thing entirely.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But as we've seen, Michaeh Parsons was willing to have
conversations for the last three years and now maybe they're
talking to them like the conversation at some point, at
least it was supported early in this off seasons they
were have a conversation. But like, Micah is not the
person who's doing the negotiations, Like, that's not the person
you gotta work out the particulars with. That's the person
(15:31):
who signs off. The person you work out through particulars
with is the agent. It's a clunky analogy, but I'm
getting married on Saturday, right, thank you. I asked her dad,
you know, for her hand in marriage. But that wasn't
who I had to work out the particulars with, particularly her.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
You just couldn't.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
You just couldn't skip her and go toda, Hey, Dad
and I got it worked out, so you can't.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
You got each other in the eye.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I had a handshake agreement, but then I had to
go on work out the particulars.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
We had to go figure it all out.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't understand what Jerry's missing here, because it seems
like it's very, very logical. Coming up next, It's never
been done before in NFL history.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Who says it can't? Martin Wis, Bucky Brooks and for
Rob Parker and Calvin Washington on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple

Speaker 9 (16:37):
Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. Join me every weekday morning
on my podcast, Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. This isn't
your typical sports pod pushing the same tired narratives down
your throat. Every day, Straight Fire gives you honest opinions
on all the biggest sports headlines, accurate stats to help

best guests. Do yourself a favor and listen to Straight
(17:00):
with Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I tell you what, this guy might need a subscription
pack to a leave. Baking knee, stiff back, joint's not cooperating.
Some days, everybody's like nope. And on those days, luckily
there's a leave, just just one pill. A leave provides
that the twelve hours of paying relief so you can
keep moving. Use as directed. So, Bucky, my experience in
(17:32):
the NFL is limited to observing the.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
League, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
And we talked about this a little bit in the break,
but in general, if I am looking as my general
draft philosophy, I'm looking for thoroughbreds, I will miss all unicorns.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm looking for thoroughbreds, Okau, I know that's what wins races. Right,
unicorn might win me a race. It might just have
a funny thing sticking out of his forehead. This might
win me to race. If Mike just have a funny
thing is taken out of his forehead. So and I
see James Gladstone, who is the only general manager in
(18:11):
the NFL younger than me, say that Travis Hunter has
the ability to change the calculus of football. Yeah, I say,
well he better than him do it. If that's what
you're trying up to, go get him. But then also
I see Liam Cohen on Rich Eisen on Monday talking about,
you know, our guys are challenging him. He's different. He's
this Trevor Lawrence is talking about how different he is.
(18:34):
I actually saw somebody say, like in a non satorical,
completely serious way, that you know, not rushing at anything.
But when Travis Hunter is longer with it, they used
to study to see if as ung as're bigger or
if his hard is bigger, how he's able to do
what it seems to be impossible. So I'm asking you
is it possible, because it feels to me to be
(18:55):
relatively impossible.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I think it's possible, my honest opinion, based on not
only playing the league, but like being a coach and
coaching in high school and all these things are people
are making it bigger than what it is. If you
go to anybody, you ask most pros coming up, most
of them played both ways in Pop Warner in high school,
(19:19):
and some of them wanted to do some different things
in college. But everyone is scared to think outside of
the box. Travis Hunter to me, is like the best
dude on your high school team. And when you have
the best guy on your high school team, you may
ask them to do a little more in certain games. Absolutely,
it doesn't mean every game we're trying to squeeze all
(19:41):
of it out of him, but in certain games. So
you talked about being from the booth Saint Augustine, Saint Augustine,
how do you because it's different beause where I'm from,
they see it differently.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
St Augustine Saint Augustine. Okay, so that's the big game.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
So in that game eight, Martin, I may need you
to play corner and the way though, like they got
a dude over there, we need you to play Okay,
cool coach. To me, this is what Travis Hunter is.
The way that's been explained to me is one hundred
percent wide receiver. He's a starting wide receiver, and then
he is a dB on get off the field moments.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So those get off the field.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Moments would be third down, right, major matchup, red zone,
two minute drill in the game, close the game out right,
and the core end of yeah, the close out. We
gotta get off the field. Let's go run on to
the field.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Now.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
The thing about it when we talk about third down
and those things, because everyone is like, oh, he's gonna
get beat up or whatever. We're third now, obvious passing now,
and the guys that he's tackling are guys that are
like size wide receiver, a wide receiver, okay, two ten,
two hundred, not a big thing. Is not like he's
having to tackle like a big, old bruising running back
all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Right, He's not safety. Right.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
They are probably gonna be more of a zone team
than a man team. So when people talk about running around,
you run aroun on more in man than in zone.
In zone is seaball get ball, I got my area,
I see the ball thrown, I run and rally to
the tackle with him. His superpower in anything that he
does or his balls, gets tremendous hands, great instincts to
wearing this. The ball is in the air, he goes
(21:15):
and gets it, whether it's on offense or defense. By
playing zone you're now playing to his superpower where you
are allowing him to figure out and go make plays.
To me, I think this can be done. People are
trying to make it. Where's gonna play one hundred and
fifty snaps a game. It's not gonna happen. That's not
what he's gonna do because you can pick and choose
when you put him in on an offense or defense.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
He just had a long defense drive to take him out.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I think the reason why people are saying that is
because it felt like at Colorado the only time twelve
came off the field is when the kicker was on it,
like say, like that was it.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
So I think our reference point for.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
This is to see a guy who's on every single
offensive snap, but then every single defensive snap. Right, That's
kind of what that's because it's basically what he did
at Colorado. If you was out of the game, it
was news right, like he's like, where is Travis? And
so that makes a little more sense to me if
you're telling me we're doing sort of a maddeness playmaker moment.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
So instead of everyone is like, oh, he's gonna be
a two way player.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
When I was coaching high school. This is what we
just call it. Man and a half player. He's one
and a half player. He's full time one way rotational
player the other way.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's and that and I think, well, also the framing
of this, I think, you know, and we'll see how
it all plays out. I think if you're Jacksonville for
James Glaston, you have to talk about it like this
because this kid, at every step of the way has
said I'm playing both.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Ways any any is And I think why Gladstone and
some of the other guys are talking about how this
could be kind of like a revolutionary moment in terms
of the landscape, is you know, it's a copycat world
that we live in in sports.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
So now if you see Travis Hunter go and Travis Hunt,
he wins the Heisman playing both ways. Travis Hunter gets
picked two overall. Now, let's just imagine that Travis Hunter
becomes a Pro Bowl caliber player on both sides of
the ball. Let's just say that, right. So, now the
deal that he signs is a whopper, right can you're
talking about Justin Jefferson. This guy's making thirty three thirty
(23:19):
five million, say top DB's and making thirty million well,
now he's doing both, we got to pay him more
than everything. So now all these dudes at the lower
level are looking at Travis like, oh no, when I
go to college, I want to play both sides.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Right, We've never had.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That, And I think it's a generous reading of the
future to think that Travis is gonna.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Make I'm just saying, you know, saying, but if he
has success doing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
It, I might say, even if the money, even if
he doesn't get some record sending contract. I think if
you just show three years of success on your rookie deal,
that's going to be enough. But what I made, what
you meant even think of just now is how many
kids are going to Kaylin de boor or you know,
Brian Kelly, And those are the guys, those type of
(24:07):
guys are the ones in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I want to play both ways?
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Yeah, Like that's gonna be more of the conversation.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You want to pay me three hundred thousand dollars. I'm
a five star, I have all these schools at my thing.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
I want to play both ways.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, which one of you guys are gonna let me play?
And hell, that could be fascinating.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Because maybe maybe that's the difference maker for a kid
to go to a school like Kansas for example, right,
because he's like, oh, I go to Kansas because it's
not like Travis Hunter was at a football.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Powerhouse Jackson State, then Colorado, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
So two years a two years at Colorado and again
five hundred team And obviously not that this is not
a knock on anybody, but five hundred team, you know,
played a handful of ranked teams.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
But you know what I'm saying, was not a.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Player in the postseason college football realm, not a blue blood,
not a big you know. But what about what DeVante
Adams was saying on the pivot If you caught this,
I've summarized shortly, it was essentially his point of we
talk about it for a game, sure, maybe for a year, yeah,
sure maybe, but what about it for a career, Like
(25:12):
where is there a level of career longevity and thought process?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Because like we.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Talk about, excuse me, getting that second contract, that's where
things really change for a player.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
Okay, So here's also what's changed for a player. Players
aren't playing as long, you know, because the bag is bigger,
like what used to have to happen, you have to
play fifteen years to get the bag, the big, big,
big bag. Yeah, Now dudes are tapping out after eight
nine years. I get my rookie contract, I get that
second contract.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
That's big.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Hey man, I'm not gonna be a football lifer, you know.
And now the other thing that changes Hall of Fame
guys are now going in seven eight years, Sterling Sharp
finally gets in. We saw Torell Davis get in after
seven years. You're not having to necessarily play at that
kind of level because think about trapping. Then we're just
talking about like best case Nara. Well if he does
(26:02):
this because no one has ever done it, and if
he does it as a higher level like it just
kind of changes the thing. I think the young guys
are thinking differently. They're thinking ten years maybe at the cap.
But I don't think guys are coming in the league
anymore talking about my dream is to play fifteen years
in the league. If I get to ten, great, If
I get to eight, cool, if I get the contract,
(26:25):
because the contracts now are much bigger. One hundred and
sixty million dollars from Miles Garrett, right, I mean on
a four year note, Like oh yeah, I'm out I.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Can figure out something to do with that, right, I
can figure out something to do with that. Coming up next,
I'll tell you what I've been told by everybody who
talks about the media, that this guy is a future
Hall of Fame player, and that this guy is a
future Hall.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Of Fame coach. Duo can't miss Moncie, they told me.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Neither one of them could miss. Neither one of them
could miss it. Sounds like they're missing now, though, But.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Hey, but seriously, though, this smelling salts thing mm hmm George,
Like you saw George Kittle run into the NFL set
and be like I just have to complain, Like and
I don't I say this kind of tongue in cheek
and laughing about it, but like, the NFLPA president was
just outed in a very embarrassing and front loaded way,
(27:31):
and the replacement for him has his own types of documentary.
His Wikipedia page has a controversy section as well, and
the outrage from NFL players regarding the union represented like
the person who runs their union versus the outrage of
the potential banning of smelling salts, was I don't ten
(27:53):
times one hundred times more concerned about the smelling salts.
Then they like, what is it about these smelling sauce
that's such a big deal.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
I mean the gladiator sport, you gotta kind of wake
yourself up, and some people use those things, whether those
ammonia whatever whatever it is, to pop and get a
good wif and kind of clear your senses. Because remember, man,
you're doing stuff that is uncommon in terms of like
the gladiator sport mentality to like the makeup that you
(28:20):
have to have, and so it's part of all of
that aur that goes along with it, like.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Get you kind of gotta have a little little crazy.
Everyone who plays is half crazy. You a little cock
that problem.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I'm half crazy. They don't have the physical ability, yeah,
but I get that.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
And I never was one that really did to smell
suf I remember, like in the weight room in college,
like guys pop those things before we have to do
a max out to kind of get going. But some
of that is like urban legend, mythical type stuff like
this is what I do, you know what I'm saying,
Like was it Gladiator where he picked up the ground
and he kind of rubbed it and all of the stuff.
Like we all have these quirks, these routines that you
(28:58):
get into, and so for Kittle, for so many other
guys like that is kind of a part of the
transformation that allows you to be the superhero.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So I mean, non have it for me true, Like
it's like, honestly.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Yeah, I did it once or twice, but it was
never really my thing.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
The way that people talked about it today, I was like,
am I doing something wrong drinking coffee?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Because this is what it sounds like I need to
be doing.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
I mean, maybe like maybe you should try maybe take
a couple of smell of sauce and couping.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
It might be the best of.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
The test time in your life. You might come in
here fully alert, ready to go, like going. I've been
doing research all day.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I've been looking into this, like I really looking into
this because I always.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Find this type of stuff fascinating.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's like I don't know the life in that way,
and I see people are upset, like what's the deal,
And I'm run the word. Now, It's like, I've had
incredibly terrible allergies since moving to California.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I'm wondering, you know.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
What smelling sauce making go away?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
They say it clears your nostrils. They say it clears
your nostrils. What do I know? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
I mean, it's a little a little ammonia, a little.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I mean I watch I watched the videos and some
guys saying they put them in they put them in
water bottles, shaken up and just take the top off
the bottle and just get a little whift and it
just like like a diffuser just putting lavender and eucalyptus
something in there.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Just a little it just catches. It's almost like when you.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
Get that with onions and how you get the crying. Yeah,
it's just a thing that kind of opens up your
nasal pass It kind of clears your mind up a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah. I'm trying this. I'm trying it. Let's see how
it goes.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
With Rob Parker. Was he the one that had to go?
Speaker 5 (31:33):
He is the one who got to go?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Actually they both had to go.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
For being quite honest with.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
You, I'm a little moist right now.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
So as you all know, it's an open secret, Martin
Weiss will be tying the NOTT this weekend. As a result,
he had to get a fresh cut earlier today, so
much so that it pushed back our meeting by about
forty five minutes. And that's part of the reason we're
having this conversation.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I provided fair warning.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
Conservatively, a haircut probably takes about forty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
There's no reason to hairs stickle.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
Maybe an hour tops. Mar was in the chair for
an hour and a half to get this.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Cut one in three fifteen outs.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
So here's the question, guys, I got four different topics
here that always seem to take longer than expected. One's
got to go, which means you would rather get a
lesser job done of this specific thing and have it
be on time. You're like, hey, I would rather get
eighty percent of what I was going to get, but
it's going to be in and out the way it's
supposed to be. Hear, the options Number one getting your
(32:29):
hair done is that the barber or the stylist like Monci.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Oh, that's three hours under the doctor's yours for like
four and a half, right, so beg it.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
Whatever's ridiculous for you, Hey, doctor's visit, a dentist's visit,
or a mechanic for your car.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Buck you will start with you.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yes, man, doctor, you're talking about your health.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
I'd probably go with the dentists, I think, because I
think I'll try and get away with that part of it.
But yeah, doctor mccannic me Canada. Car is gonna break
down again, So I'm going to dentists.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Is there a bigger scam in general than the fact
that the dentist and the doctor are two different things?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
How are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (33:10):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
What do you mean? What am I talking?
Speaker 6 (33:12):
And teeth are very different than the rest of your body.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
They're literally it's no, this should be a one stop job.
It's all my body. It's all my body.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I am going to pass on the mechanic, because that's
the only one of those three wow, that I have
potential to be able to do myself. Now, I may
take longer and the job won't be as good, but
I won't have paid for it, and more importantly, I
won't have the like lack of satisfaction that you get
when you do pay for those other things and you
don't get a one quality.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Alright, I'm with Bucky here.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Dentist has got to go.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
I don't care if it's.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Gonna take me ten minutes. I'm not going to dentist.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
I hate the dentist, so nothing else matters.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Then by dentist, I still go I hate the dentist.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
I was just there last week.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
How long did it take.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
At the dentist cleaning? And I was there for like
an hour and twenty minutes?
Speaker 5 (34:03):
Geez, Louise, Yeah, why.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
What type of dadiss officer? Y'all go it too. I
went to that that minute after dead, just a thirty
five minutes.
Speaker 12 (34:12):
And if you go to it thirty five minutes, listen, TJ,
I will put you guys on like Delta dentth on
the serviance covers, and I'll put you on like it
sounds like you guys are out.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I'm trying to figure out why it took your hour
in forty five minutes get your haircut?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah, that's really the best to be here too?
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Like is that?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Like in the chair just in the.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Ship talking no no, no, one forty five appointment.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I walk in at one forty five, ass in sheat
no less than one forty seven. I walk out on
the ground on sidewalk. Three fifteen. Why three fifteen.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Must ring light?
Speaker 5 (34:46):
You must be going to windows celebrity the.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Full ring lights there's multiple ring lights. Oh my gosh,
it's not my fault.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
You can't go get a haircut without multiple ring lights anymore.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
Alex got a super cuts at that point. This ain't
got ring This is easy. First off, mar aint the
way you change in a transmission. Over there, you stop,
it stops changing transmission.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
I'm not I'm going to coming buying a new car.
This is easy.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
You know what's a bigger comment than a doctor a dentist.
You're how easy to clean your teeth? Just swish some
coconut oil once a night and brush it in the rising.
You're chilling the biggest con artist, this guy in the world. Literally,
it's proven. Do you know what a cavity is?
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Yeah, there's no bacteria freaking toothpaint.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
That is the worst pain can deal with.
Speaker 11 (35:38):
We're you gonna start with your bottom rights and then
we'll do your bottom left, and then we'll do some
more X rays.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
No, how about you stop stealing money? Cool? This guy's crazy.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
Do you see when people don't have teeth what they
look like because they don't know anything.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Okay, but you're right, but everyone is different.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Everybody is different on their teeth.
Speaker 11 (35:54):
Con artists, no, it's not that's not true.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
True.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
I'm with you on the scam. You just got the
wrong part of the scam, some of the part. You
have the wrong part of some of the part. For example,
when you go to a mechanic, that mechanic generally can
fix everything on your car from the start to the bat,
from the front bumper to the exhaust and including all
(36:17):
passengers of doors. True, why is it that when I
go to it, like, why do why is there a
different doctor from my hand and the wrist from my
foot everything? Why is there a different doctor from my
neck and the wrist from my teeth? Con why is
there a different doctor from my eyes and the wrist
of my ears?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
So what's the general doctors?
Speaker 10 (36:36):
Well, there's a different doctor for the dentist and the
wor though, and you're like, is it the same thing?
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 10 (36:40):
So the dentist and the orthrow do different guys too?
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Again and that's both teeth. Again you are had perpetuating
the scale.
Speaker 10 (36:48):
Well, first off, Alex, I don't trust anybod who says
in the rising that's number one. Your answer is.
Speaker 11 (36:52):
Already who does in the morning, in the morning, in
the right started.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
The answer is the barber because I cut my own
hair in less than an hour, or every week, because
I don't know why Mark can't do it.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
It really is that of a player hater.
Speaker 10 (37:07):
And if it's really that much of a struggle, the
answer is be like Bucky, you can always go ball.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
It's gonna look good.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
I can't. You can't get it one blade.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I can't go ball. I've done it before. People just like, hey, everything, okay,
is everything?
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Okay? You're good?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Rob Gee, I cut my own hair. You know what
else he does? Works in radio?
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Go go. I bet you, I bet you find the barbershop.
Speaker 11 (37:33):
If it was on camera, Pal, we can all tell
he cuts it too,
