(01:17):
You and your bride? How was that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It was good? It was good? We uh watched.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The best part about the East the West Coast New
Year's is you can get it done at nine to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, but that kind of takes this thing out of it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I mean, I know what you're saying because I was
at a little get together as well, and obviously it
had already happened in the East Coast and you're sitting
there and kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I think, if you're at a party, it's a little different.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
You have to find you you do have to manufacture
your own countdown. If you're at a party on the
West coast, right, you're gonna have to make your own.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, they got to go, and they still have the replay,
but it's the repunch.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I know it says live in the corner, but it's
a replay. I know it's that.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But uh, we weren't at a party or anything. So
we tuned in around eight.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Thirty or so, and then you were good at nine.
Watch Diana Ross.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Wait a minute, Diana Ross is eighty one. Did you
see her last night? Yes, she's eighty one.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Are you trying to say that you were impressed? Because
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No. I was just I'm just like, how how was
she eighty one up on that stage? Was that her
singing was that?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I mean I imagine they had some they probably had
some seeds singing enhanced devices.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Around as well. You know what and I took my
cap as well.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But she was in, you know, good shape, eighty one
years old, Sasha in around in the red dress.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I was impressed, I will say this.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I was happy that I was able to experience my
New Year's at nine fifteen local time here on the
West Coast, because.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Here you're an old man already, you're in your thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I had started my twenty twenty six right at the
actual start of twenty twenty six. Looking at Russell Wilson
on TV, I on't feel like, why what are we
doing here? I was like, why, Like Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Wasn't it more about his wife than Russell Wilson. You're
you're kind of making my point what he didn't belong up?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Say it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He's a start his own, right, That's why he was
up there, right. Don't you think I just he won
a Super Bowl? My god, I'm making like he's like nothing.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I'm not saying he's nothing. I'm just saying he wasn't
performing at New Year's rocketing.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I get it. But they go together, they're they're a pair.
They're a pair. Yeah sure, all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Uh, this guy and this team are no longer a pair.
Even though they were and I'm sure Michael Parsons thought
he was going to be in Dallas his entire career.
Who trades a player of that caliber, But apparently it
happens Luca got traded from Dallas and Micah turned off
Your Micah, the real name of his podcast. I think
(03:54):
he stopped doing the podcast once he went to Queen Vidale.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I'm gonna look it up to see if he did
or not.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Use I stopped making a lot of noise, but I'm
not sure if it actually stopped.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think they said it stop, and you're right, it
did stop making noise for sure, so I'm wondering if
he was even continuo.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But anyway, Uh, today he went on social.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Media and Ian, you can help us with this, right
with some tweets and just some background on. Michael Parzel,
of course, has lost for the season for the Packers,
but still decided that chiming in on his old team
is a good way to spend the new year, right,
So we'll say I think it started with this one
(04:38):
tweet where he was quote tweeting a tweet that was
referencing Trayvon Diggs being being released by the by the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And it's kind of trying to rip Jerry Jones correct.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Right, And it was showing a bunch of pro football
focused numbers from Diggs and stuff, and Parsons said, I
feel like, what point is there in trying to publicly
disrespect someone. He's not representing the Star anymore. Just give
the man a farewell and wish him the best. I don't
know why everything has to be negative every time a
breakup happens. He's in the better situation right now. Trust me, bro,
It's gonna be great again. And that's him talking about
Trayvon Dave. Well, let me let me say one thing
(05:09):
for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
When a trade is made or somebody's released or whatever,
reporters will ask why did this happen?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And then they start to do some research to find out,
like his rating how And I'm sure there were stories
on how he wasn't playing well? Right, isn't he rated
as one of the worst corners in the league at
this point?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Like, yeah, I've the grades aren't pretty right now, at
least occurring to the tweet thing.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I'm just saying, But that's the reason when he says
something is negative, the reason that you move on from people.
Is the same thing with Luca. Oh he's the greatest. Uh,
he's the greatest scorer and a great guy. And we
love Luca, but we're moving on because he's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No, that's not what happens. That's not a.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Funeral, right, Only at a funeral is everybody, you know what.
He's a good host, but a really a better man.
They don't do that at trades, just at funerals.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Right, you get my point? Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It just doesn't make sense that he doesn't understand that
this is why did this happen. We have to dig
into why this has happened, why they have released him,
why they don't think he's good anymore, and then do
our homework, do our research, and that's why that comes up.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But okay, and then so that was.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
One right, So after Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus he
noted the defense's drop off post trade, like he mentioned
Micah Parsons being traded being a specific reason for their
drop off. Parsons took that opportunity to hit back on
social media, accusing Jerry Jones of slandering him. Amid the
twenty twenty five holdout that ended with the Blockbuster deal
(06:46):
that sent him to Green Bay. Okay, And he also
had a few tweets with laughing emojis just about the
Cowboys and their defensive struggles, and it's yeah, the point
is the Cowboys are very much still on this guy's mind.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And that's why this made it more sense to me,
is he's worried about stuff that really he's not there anymore.
Why does he care what's going on in Dallas because
he probably misses being there. He still can't get over
the idea that he was dumped or Dallas moved on.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Like that's an ego thing, right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I think that he was like seriously, couldn't believe it, Like,
oh no, they're going to pay me my money. I'm
gonna act like a fool. I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna go to a game Martin even though a preseason
game lay on the table out in public, like I'm
at a park right, disrespecting the game, disrespecting the organization,
(07:45):
and they're going to sign me and give me my
money under any circumstances. So when he got traded, he
was in for a rude awakening. You saw the same
thing with Luca Luther. Was that shocked. That's ain't shocked.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It's one of these like not to be obviously, it's
a job, right, and you can get your first job
out of college and not understand how the workforce actually
is and how things are, and that your manager is
not exactly your friend, right right, your boss is not
exactly your friend.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And especially when you consider the way that Jerry.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Jones maneuvers through this, like he kind of puts his
arms around guys and he's always bigging guys up and talking.
He wants to talk directly to the player during contract
negotiations with First of.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
All, I do not have this massive problem with I
really don't.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The player can shut that down at any Jerry can
come over and say whatever you want, Jerry, I'm not
negotiating with you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Call my agent and the conversation or even that. You
know what, if it's like an agent. Put this in
perspective for me.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
After hearing my take on the Mulagetta thing, he said,
if that was my client, what I would have done
was said, okay, you go talk to him.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And just walk out through room and tell me everything.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
He said, I'll tell you what to say back because
if the owner is the one that's in the way,
I work for you, I work for the player, right right,
And so I think ultimately to that point, Michael Partiers
never wanted.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
To leave Dallas. No, oh, there's no doubt. And I
do not think that. I don't think for up until
the eleventh hour.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I think Jerry Jones wanted Michael Partiers to be a
cowboy right up until the eleventh hour. I really do,
up until I think until it got to a point
with the agent and all of the business wise of
it where it's like, all right, well, at this point,
I'm walking away from this price, right, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But if you would if.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I think it, they well Jerry, because Jerry's always caved,
like exactly always, so I think that they thought Jerry
was gonna cave. But there were other implications because of
them paying CD Lamb and them paying Dak like the money,
and that they would have had to pay him. And
I think that's another thing that finally Jerry realized, I'm
(09:54):
going to be hamstrung with these three players because Dak is.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Paid so much money of your cap, you know, it's.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Hard to Ultimately thought it was the right in a vacuum.
On whatever day he was traded, it was the right
move to trade him. You want to go back a year,
two years, three years now, it becomes a lot more cloudy,
but you can't. The time machine doesn't exist. All you
can do is do what you can do today. And
so when he made that move, I was okay with it.
But it seems to me, like to your point that
(10:23):
Michael Parsons never thought he was not going to be
a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
He didn't. And I also think that there's something to.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
The idea of you're in a situation where you, like
you said, never thought you would be. But also it's
not exactly any different. Like I get that the Packers
when they made the trade for the for for Michael Parsions,
that were Super Bowl favorites and so on. But you
look at that division, they're not winning it. They're not
(10:52):
even in first place in that that division is wrapped
up before.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And even before Michael got hurt, they still weren't right.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
They weren't world beaters in the way that you that
we have seen like the Kansas City Chiefs do the
regular season in years pastor the Eagles in years pastor
are the forty nine ers in years past through the
regular season where you're like, Okay, even if this team
doesn't win the Super Bowl, this team is one of
the best teams in the NFL. Weekend week out was
not the case for the Packers and has never been
the case for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
They to me, he's switched.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
One spot to another, forty seven million more dollars and
forty seven degrees colder per every winter, and a place.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You don't really want to be, like, seriously, Like I
still believe that, and that's why he can't get out
of this Dallas thing. Seriously, why would you? You got
your money, You're on a team that's going to Dallas.
Cowboys didn't make the playoffs again, right, You're going to
the playoffs even though you're injured. But your team is
going to the playoffs. They're going to be in the mix.
(11:49):
You got a good young quarterback, you got some other pieces.
You're gonna be in the mix for the next couple
of years. Have a chance. The Cowboys are somewhere else.
And if I'm Green Bay, I'm disappointed just in the
idea that he's still messing with the Cowboys, and I
just like I just wouldn't want that to be the post.
And did you find out that he did stop his podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, it looks like the most recent episode is back
from when he did ten months ago, you know, content
that came out there, and.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That was good because I think that at that point
that ain't gotten in a way too what he would
did his list of the top ten quarterbacks, and Dak
wasn't it on his list, you know what I mean?
And then the reporters go to Dak and say, well,
what do you think Michael picked out his top ten?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
You're not in it? You know, you have a reaction
to that. You don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And he didn't preface it by saying, of course, excluding Dak,
who are the top ten quarterbacks? Because Dak would be
in my top ten? Then that's a different conversation.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, I just Michael Parsons to me seems to be
a guy like you are too online for me. And
I'm just saying it because that's a good way of saying. Like,
the reality is this, Michael Parsons has a talent that
six people in the world possess seven like, you know
what I mean, Like at the highest level that he does,
why are you even down here with us? Like, you know, like,
(13:09):
why are you I'm not saying like I was fine
with the laughing at Eberflush's comment. I found it funny
as well. You had no kidding trading me major defense
worse right, But then they keep on if that was
just like you know what we were talking about him earlier,
Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson every so often he had a remark,
tweeted something as Sean Payton was. I forget the exact details,
(13:31):
but Sean Payton wasn't painted in the best light. And
Russell Wilson said, oh, who would have seen this coming?
Or something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, But he did it once. It's funny. If you
do it once, you look like you're almost taking the
high road. If you do it once right, when you.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Do it continually, time and time again, you're not just
reminding people to it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're showing people.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
At least people are going to assume that you got
something wrong with it, right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And that's where we are with Micah Pauson's and uh,
just just the the infatuation of session is that the
right word? With with Dallas, he feels like he's he's
hurt that he's not there, even though like it's nothing
to do with min. They're out of the playoffs, and
I know he's hurt and he couldn't play anyway at
this point eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
(14:17):
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. You
got a problem MICHAEH. Parsons tweeting out about the Cowboys.
If you're a Packer fan, Packer management, or it doesn't
bother you, whatever, we don't care because obviously they must
have asked him to start with the podcast, don't you think.
(14:37):
I mean, he was doing it with the Cowboys the
whole time, and when they it just feels like last.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Updated February tenth, twenty twenty five. So he stopped it
after the Super Bowl last year and never so the
whole offseason, didn't do it, and then you know trades.
But so I don't know if they asked him or
we cannot surmise right now of this why the podcast,
but it is no That's something that we talked about
when he was doing this show every Wednesday for two years.
(15:07):
There was an extra Cowboys topic just in the sports
war because he said something all right, eight.

Speaker 2 (16:27):

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Low Martin. I'll do it anyway, uh.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Trayvon Diggs may start for the Green Bay Packers this
weekend after being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Right He
was released after Brian Schottenheimer and co. Said that he
wanted to stay back after a lot of drama has
been going on with Digs wanted to stay back after
the Washington game and spend time with his family for Christmas,
(17:16):
but was not, And to be honest, that's not a
super common request.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Most of these times. These things have to be scheduled
ahead of time.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But that leads Diggs now to join his former Dallas
Cowboys teammate Michael Parsons in Green Bay, which has led
to much conversation about it, which Michael Parson seems he
cannot avoid.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Rob, can you hear me, brother? I got you now,
Everything's good. My headphones kind of went out and I
was kind of I couldn't hear anything. We do want
to hear from you on this.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And you were just talking about Micah tweeting out and
all kinds of stuff and is this a good thing,
bad thing? What do you feel about it? Like it
just seemed like he's obsessed with Dallas and I get it.
It fits in because he did wind up going to
Green Bay, but still when you just rather him not
worry about what's going on in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
And Diggs, Michael Parsons and Trayvon Diggs have a good friendship.
Diggs talked about it in his first Green Bay availability.
That was the first call he made when he found
out he was going to be a packer.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
And they have a good relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Their moms like each other and are friendly, and they've
come of around the same age. If they're not the
same class of when they came in together in their
rookie year, first year, second year class.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All right, let's want to hear from you. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Do we have the call us?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You could just tell us Dave in Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dave?
Happy New Year?
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Hey you guys. Yeah, I'm only three thousand miles away
from you. But listen, I've been a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan,
and They're never gonna win a Super Bowl with Dak
Prescott and with the innyonic personnel moves that's made in
(19:04):
the front office Jerry Jones, Yep, you know they need
to do something. I would even go as far as
trade Dak for two or three great wide receivers. I mean,
I grew up in the starback era with Golden Richards
(19:25):
and Drew Pearson and Doomsday defense Bob Lily Walt Garrison.
Cowboys aren't even close to that.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
No, I hear you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I mean, I mean it all speaks for use. Thanks
for the call, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The last time the Cowboys played an NFC championship game,
what was that nineteen ninety five?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, but I think trading Dak Prescott's far from the like.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, No, they got other if your health if Dak
shows to me, if you're healthy, that he's a guy
that's going to get you double digit wins just about
and almost got him.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like to me, trading Dak is not the answer.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
But I get the frustration that team has not had
the success you'd like to he'd like for them too.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, and and Dak has had trouble beating some of
the better teams, and I think that's where people have
frustrations with him. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
Clayton in North Cakilaki, North Carolina. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Happy New Year, Clayton.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
Happy New Year. Guess what's up? Martin kind of touch
on what I was gonna call, Uh, don't touch on
a little bit about the Michael parksons. Is he got
a lot of friends of connection still with that team,
so therefore peace it feels like they're doing wrong. Naturally,
he's gonna speak up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I know, but I'm just asking you, if you're a
green Bay, like really like you're here, if I.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Would be a little worried.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Yeah, I would be a little worried if I was
Green Bay, because if you tick him off, just in
the slightest is he gonna start trashing you on one.
I also wanted to touch on one other thing you
were talking about earlier. It's not the problem with twelve
teams in the playoffs. The problem is the selection process
and having a month off in between games. You guys
(21:03):
both know if you have that much downtime in between games,
you're going to be sloppy and rusty.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Twenty five days is ridiculous, the only that's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
And one more, one more quick point, best voice in radio, whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Wow, Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, she heard you. Clayton.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, thank you, I say, say Clayton's name so he
can be excited. Moncey Clayton from North Carolina.
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Clayton from North Carolina, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I just saw Moncey grow at least five feet. Her
head has never been bigger. Oh my goodness, that's question. Hey,
let's squeeze one more rin. How about Alex in Harlem.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Alex?
Speaker 10 (21:53):
My god?
Speaker 12 (21:54):
Happy New Year?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Happy New Year? My man? How is everything in New York?
Everything cool?
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Thing is beautiful. I had to call in and check
on my guys. I just say this, man, I think
with the Micah Parsons podcast, we just got to accept
this is a part of the business. How many players
have podcasts these days that they talk about the podcast
right after they talk on their podcasts after the game.
I think the real test is going to come next
year when on the Packers. We'll see if he picks
(22:22):
up the podcast and does anybody care and is talking
about the Cowboys the only thing that people are going
to pay attention to. We'll see what happens next year.
You guys have a happy now you're happy twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No doubt Alex appreciate it a god. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I mean yeah, he's got the point of I wonder
if he was doing a podcast about the Jaguars if
it was still making noise. No, it's tweeting about the Jaguars, man,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's it's not the podcast per se.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's the idea that you that the teammates have to
answer the questions from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That's that's the distract. It's not the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
It's after you dish your own quarterback and then the
reporters go up to him and have to ask him
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's when the podcast becomes an issue. That's all all right?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, I just think that at some point we gotta
get there, all right, I want to We got Mancy.
She's ready, all right, Monty.
Speaker 2 (23:23):

coming out on top thirty eight to three. Fernando Mendoza
finished fourteen of sixteen. That's right, he only missed two throws.
He threw for one hundred and ninety two yards three touchdowns.

Alabama's often struggled.

They also lost their starting quarterback Tys Simpson early in
the second half because of an apparent injury and was
replaced by backup Austin Mack and then even earlier today
at the Orange Bowl. Oregon shout out Texas Tech twenty
three zero. So Oregon is going to face Indiana in
the Peach Bowl on Friday, January ninth. Other NFL news,

I just want to know I've seen this stat kind
of going around today.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I saw it on NFL right at first, and now
it's getting to Twitter. I want to get it out
there for everybody.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Knows it. There's a starting I'm sorry, there's.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
A head coach in the NFL right now, active head
coach in the NFL who has more career rushing yards
than Bo Jackson.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I know the answer. I saw this, so I mean,
I won't say it, but I saw the video. Did
you see this? You know what it is? Rob a
Sadi Gay head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Active head coach in the NFL today has more career
rushing yards than Bo Jackson.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
He Morris, No, I was just taking the who is it?
Do you want to know? No more guesses. I know
I'm putting you on the spot. Yeah, I'm just trying
to think of and nobody knew.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
That's the point of this whole video, the whole interviews.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
There's at least obs. I'll help you in the in
the video.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Demico Ryans, Mike McDaniel, John Harbaugh, Mike vrabel all are like,
I have no idea who this is.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Sean McVay says, I have no idea who this is?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
John Haball? It was John? Jim.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I met Jim and and I thought about it him
being a quarterback playing that many years that that. Yeah,
did Jim Harball. When I asked, he didn't know. So John, Yeah,
John is in this. This is like a three and
a half in the video. John is a cool forty
five seconds of it, being like I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Just Jim, What hell? How can I forget Jim?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right? You know what I'm saying. Yeah, no, that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
But that's a pretty good set, right, I just saw it.
I don't know what she charges, you know, Yeah that's
pretty good. Yeah, yeah, we wouldn't think that. All right,
Monty appreciate it, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Uh, it is the odd couple on New Year's Day,
New Year's Night, I should say, Rob Parker. Martin Wis's
here on Fox Sports Radio, and mart I know we
talked about this a little bit earlier. Uh, Indiana to
me and Monty you could jump into Indiana to me,
is not really a feel good story. And and I'm
just gonna say it, like I get when people latch
(27:53):
on the teams, like especially in college basketball, they don't
have a big star player and they you know, it's
kind of like before Steph Curry became Steph right, and
you were following that team and you're like, wow, this
is unbelievable. And and it was kind of a neat story,
like they shouldn't be keeping up with the big guys.
Sure Davidson, Like like, who is Davidson? I actually covered
(28:16):
that was at Ford Field, one of the one of
the Davis Nor Yeah, yeah, I covered that and I
remember you know what I mean, It was a great
story and that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But Indiana, when you pull.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
And I get the Indiana history, what does it say
today was the first day they won, uh since nineteen
ninety one?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Is that true? What was that?
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Like every stat you can't find that Indiana staff that
has any relevance in the last years.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Like nineteen ninety one, And you're looking at this going,
this is unbelievable where Indiana is. But when you really
pull back the curtain, Martin, the money part of it,
you shouldn't be that shot when you when you spent
you're in the top ten spending money on players. You
have a twenty million dollar coaching staff, and.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Why should we.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Like be shocked and a two million dollar quarterback. Why
should we be surprised that Indiana's in the middle to the.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Shock was last year?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
That the shock was last year because last year Kurt
Signetti walks in and off of training camp seemingly turns
really what Kurt Signetti did was what Deon Sanders was
what we were promised he was going to do at Colorado,
walked in day one transfer portal, nil winner. Right, Like
in Indiana, people still showing up for those games in
(29:35):
Boulder or not.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know, I can't seem to find them on Do.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You remember in the beginning, like it was a who's
who want to sideline?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
But do you know that's what that that's accept That's
essentially what Signetti did.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And so me after watching year one, Mantia.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Tell you when we started the show, we started doing
the show together a year ago, you know, about a
year ago. She's like, you know, I'm kind of new
to college football, trying to find like how do I
latch on? I was like, look this Indiana's is gonna
be really really good this year. And there's nobody's on
the vandwagon because they came out of nowhere last year.
Last year they were Cinderella. This year, to me, they
(30:09):
were an established, an establishment.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But people are still and that's fair, but if you're
paying attention, but people are still like, oh my god, Indiana,
you know what I mean? And I don't think they
know the numbers.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And I'm not trying to take away their winning or whatever,
but it's hard to look at them as Cinderella when
they brought their shoes at Prada.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You know, I just don't know it's as great.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
That is great.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
I just don't know if you're ever gonna get a
Cinderella story, because if you don't spend, you're not gonna
be able to compete.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So I hear, I hear what you're saying. But they
seem to have done it in a quick amount. Of
the Cinderella aspect of it is is how quickly it happened.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
It was eleven forty five, ten seconds ago and all
of a sudden, what what happened?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Like it was like this was supposed to end and
then all of a sudden, the clock did not strike midnight.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The party is still going on, right.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
So that's the That is the cinder relative me to me,
the big story for Indiana in college football.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
If I'm like.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Purdue or Mississippi State or you know, you name it, perennial,
just I'm at the bottom of my conference and my
big power conference.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'm looking around like.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Hold on a minute, because Indiana was one of those
schools that said it was a basketball school that hadn't
won in basketball in thirty years, right and once since
Bobby Knight?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Right up?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh what are we doing? No where, we're not competing.
But here's the thing. They got more Cuban writing checks,
you know what I mean. They got people with money
who are writing checked for them. And some of those schools,
if you don't have it, you just can't really compeat.
It's hard to compete. It just is because you can't
get a two million dollar quarterback or a coaching staff,
(31:44):
where India is paying a football coaching staff.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Twenty million dollars. It's incredible numbers.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And the thing but to the point earlier in Indiana,
I mean, I'm not sure how much more they're spending
now than this year than they were last year. Mendoza
obviously was a big spend, but winning, just like in baseball,
simply because you spend, does it mean you'll win?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I agree with you. I'm with I'm on that train
over and over.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
To Monchi's point. Show me the winner who's not spending,
do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, show it like
spending does not guarantee you winning. Just ask Michigan who
paid ten million for the quarterback, or Texas who paid
ten million for that quarterback.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They both played a something called the cheese At Bowl. Okay,
the college.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Football players start today, right, So winning doesn't guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But we've always said that even before, and Monty knows
this because our connection with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
The Dodgers are rich franchise. They always have money.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
They went from nineteen eighty eight to twenty twenty without
winning a World Series. Nineteen eighty eight, you would go,
how could the Dodgers not win? And now the Yankees
are in that rut right now too. Now they went
to the World Series a year ago, right, not this
past year, year ago, but they still haven since two
thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And you can talk about all the other teams that
have won since then. Even the Kansas City Royals have
won a World Series since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, that's crazy, right, So.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It ain't money. And the Mets are still looking to
win ever won since nineteen eighty six. They got the
richest owner in sports. Yeah, spending does not guarantee it,
so it's just craz.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Had to do it with. All right.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Coming up next, we got a little shop talk. What
are the best movie? What's the best movie you saw

Something about touch wait for a kissing?

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Wait, you palented shop talk ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Now you know that we're worldly gentlemen here and ladies.
But sometimes we like to go outside of the world
of sports because there's so much going on. It's a
brand new year, and there's no better way to move
forward than to look back. And I know Rob Parker
is a movie Fassan.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
It owed me.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
He's itinerary. He goes to the movie theaters probably every
other weekend. I don't know how you have.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Time, you know what, I'm actually embarrassed.
Speaker 8 (36:07):
Oh oh, did not see a movie this year?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
You didn't see a movie this year at all?
Speaker 11 (36:12):
Not even wrong raw, not even one that didn't come
out this year, but a new movie for you?
Speaker 6 (36:17):
No, you wanted the craziest Sam MONTI rob. When was
the last time you sat down and watched an actual
television show?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I'm talking about like a right weekend, Yeah, television show.
You ready, I'm embarrassed, Seinfeldt and seinfeld went.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Off in what year was that? Ninety two? That was
the last time he said, I gotta be home Wednesday
at eight Thursday.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Night, Thursday whatever day ended May fourteenth, nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Ninety eight. Okay, I feel better. Okay, I wasn't even
born for another two years. Oh my wow? Oh crazy?
All right, you guys, you guys have watched movies.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Yeah, So the question I have tonight, that's gonna be
great for all us to go around, What was the
best movie or TV show you saw last year?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
And why?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
I have two qualifiers last year now, COVID was six
years ago. That's insane. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
That's the way calendars work.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
It's crazy to say BC now like before COVID.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
So I think my my number one movie was Sinners
with the although we got that, yeah, but i'll tell
you risky move with one Michael B. Jordan is definitely
enough to Michael B. Jordan's real risky move. I'm glad
it played off. I would never try it again. The
best TV show I saw All Her fault on Peacock.
(37:36):
If you haven't seen it yet and you still got
married after that watching that show, listen, it wasn't all
her funt. I actually think I watched it after I
got married. But that's the last show that I've seen
that had me thinking, like, do I really want to
stay up another episode? The answer was yes, I did,
and I did. I like almost misworked the next thing?
Many about you?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
All right?
Speaker 11 (37:56):
So for my favorite movie, I think of the year,
I'm a big horror movie and I really liked Sinners
was good.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I really liked horror movie horrors. That's the best voice
of radio, best voice of radio, bring her back, It's that.
Speaker 11 (38:12):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
This is Alex movie good that's a TV show. No,
it is a movie, and it's a scary movie. It
is uncomfortable watching.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, bring her back really really good.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
And when it comes to the TV show, also a
scary one.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Did you watch Welcome to Darry yet?
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Oh my god, you two for two with me?
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Welcome to Darry's so good. It's better than the movies.
Can you watch it if you're lactose intolerant, No you can't.
There we go, There we go. I mean, you're getting
all of this for free, for free?
Speaker 8 (38:48):
New Your same Rob, New Year's Same Rob, Something's don't chain?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
What about you? What you got? It was a good
year for movie.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
I still haven't seen Marty Supreme, which everyone says is
like maybe the movie of the year, but I I
recently just saw the new Leonardo DiCaprio won one battle
after another. That one was really good. Weapons was good.
That's where I thought you were going when you said
scary movies.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
I don't think that was scary.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
But it's billed as a horror, so I thought that
might have been enjoyed. I enjoyed it that Rob. Like
if you're going to see one movie, this year. I
mean like Sinners, weapons or one battle after another. And
I know you pretty well. I think you would enjoy Sinners. Sinners, Yeah,
because have you ever watched like an old school vampire movie?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (39:32):
With that, Okay, I think you know.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I don't like the blood and guts like that.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There's a little bit of That's Wife is a Sinners
I'm talking about like I could have never watched.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
That's looks great Michael B.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Jordan, But like the like the like the chainsaw massacre,
just like over the top, that's a theme.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I couldn't watch that. What is the other one? Saw
people af their legs and all that?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
So good?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Do you want to play a game?
Speaker 6 (40:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I don't want to play? Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Okay, I'll go quick on this one.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
So my favorite movie of the year I just saw
yesterday is Pogonia.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Oh he was your favorite of the year.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
God.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I walked into the studio today and Alex was raving
about this movie. Didn't Porky pig date her? Oh that
was Petunia?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
Okay, I haven't seen this one. I think I'm just
gonna hit the heart out the other one.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
Okay, So Bogonia for my movie, But TV show Pluribus incredible, incredible.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It's on every piece of money, isn't it plurabis them. No,

(01:17):
You and your bride? How was that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It was good? It was good? We uh watched.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The best part about the East the West Coast New
Year's is you can get it done at nine to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, but that kind of takes this thing out of it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I mean, I know what you're saying because I was
at a little get together as well, and obviously it
had already happened in the East Coast and you're sitting
there and kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I think, if you're at a party, it's a little different.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
You have to find you you do have to manufacture
your own countdown. If you're at a party on the
West coast, right, you're gonna have to make your own.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, they got to go, and they still have the replay,
but it's the repunch.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I know it says live in the corner, but it's
a replay. I know it's that.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But uh, we weren't at a party or anything. So
we tuned in around eight.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Thirty or so, and then you were good at nine.
Watch Diana Ross.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Wait a minute, Diana Ross is eighty one. Did you
see her last night? Yes, she's eighty one.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Are you trying to say that you were impressed? Because
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No. I was just I'm just like, how how was
she eighty one up on that stage? Was that her
singing was that?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I mean I imagine they had some they probably had
some seeds singing enhanced devices.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Around as well. You know what and I took my
cap as well.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But she was in, you know, good shape, eighty one
years old, Sasha in around in the red dress.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I was impressed, I will say this.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I was happy that I was able to experience my
New Year's at nine fifteen local time here on the
West Coast, because.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Here you're an old man already, you're in your thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I had started my twenty twenty six right at the
actual start of twenty twenty six. Looking at Russell Wilson
on TV, I on't feel like, why what are we
doing here? I was like, why, Like Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Wasn't it more about his wife than Russell Wilson. You're
you're kind of making my point what he didn't belong up?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Say it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He's a start his own, right, That's why he was
up there, right. Don't you think I just he won
a Super Bowl? My god, I'm making like he's like nothing.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I'm not saying he's nothing. I'm just saying he wasn't
performing at New Year's rocketing.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I get it. But they go together, they're they're a pair.
They're a pair. Yeah sure, all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Uh, this guy and this team are no longer a pair.
Even though they were and I'm sure Michael Parsons thought
he was going to be in Dallas his entire career.
Who trades a player of that caliber, But apparently it
happens Luca got traded from Dallas and Micah turned off
Your Micah, the real name of his podcast. I think
(03:54):
he stopped doing the podcast once he went to Queen Vidale.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I'm gonna look it up to see if he did
or not.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Use I stopped making a lot of noise, but I'm
not sure if it actually stopped.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think they said it stop, and you're right, it
did stop making noise for sure, so I'm wondering if
he was even continuo.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But anyway, Uh, today he went on social.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Media and Ian, you can help us with this, right
with some tweets and just some background on. Michael Parzel,
of course, has lost for the season for the Packers,
but still decided that chiming in on his old team
is a good way to spend the new year, right,
So we'll say I think it started with this one
(04:38):
tweet where he was quote tweeting a tweet that was
referencing Trayvon Diggs being being released by the by the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And it's kind of trying to rip Jerry Jones correct.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Right, And it was showing a bunch of pro football
focused numbers from Diggs and stuff, and Parsons said, I
feel like, what point is there in trying to publicly
disrespect someone. He's not representing the Star anymore. Just give
the man a farewell and wish him the best. I don't
know why everything has to be negative every time a
breakup happens. He's in the better situation right now. Trust me, bro,
It's gonna be great again. And that's him talking about
Trayvon Dave. Well, let me let me say one thing
(05:09):
for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
When a trade is made or somebody's released or whatever,
reporters will ask why did this happen?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And then they start to do some research to find out,
like his rating how And I'm sure there were stories
on how he wasn't playing well? Right, isn't he rated
as one of the worst corners in the league at
this point?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Like, yeah, I've the grades aren't pretty right now, at
least occurring to the tweet thing.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I'm just saying, But that's the reason when he says
something is negative, the reason that you move on from people.
Is the same thing with Luca. Oh he's the greatest. Uh,
he's the greatest scorer and a great guy. And we
love Luca, but we're moving on because he's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No, that's not what happens. That's not a.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Funeral, right, Only at a funeral is everybody, you know what.
He's a good host, but a really a better man.
They don't do that at trades, just at funerals.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Right, you get my point? Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It just doesn't make sense that he doesn't understand that
this is why did this happen. We have to dig
into why this has happened, why they have released him,
why they don't think he's good anymore, and then do
our homework, do our research, and that's why that comes up.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But okay, and then so that was.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
One right, So after Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus he
noted the defense's drop off post trade, like he mentioned
Micah Parsons being traded being a specific reason for their
drop off. Parsons took that opportunity to hit back on
social media, accusing Jerry Jones of slandering him. Amid the
twenty twenty five holdout that ended with the Blockbuster deal
(06:46):
that sent him to Green Bay. Okay, And he also
had a few tweets with laughing emojis just about the
Cowboys and their defensive struggles, and it's yeah, the point
is the Cowboys are very much still on this guy's mind.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And that's why this made it more sense to me,
is he's worried about stuff that really he's not there anymore.
Why does he care what's going on in Dallas because
he probably misses being there. He still can't get over
the idea that he was dumped or Dallas moved on.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Like that's an ego thing, right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I think that he was like seriously, couldn't believe it, Like,
oh no, they're going to pay me my money. I'm
gonna act like a fool. I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna go to a game Martin even though a preseason
game lay on the table out in public, like I'm
at a park right, disrespecting the game, disrespecting the organization,
(07:45):
and they're going to sign me and give me my
money under any circumstances. So when he got traded, he
was in for a rude awakening. You saw the same
thing with Luca Luther. Was that shocked. That's ain't shocked.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It's one of these like not to be obviously, it's
a job, right, and you can get your first job
out of college and not understand how the workforce actually
is and how things are, and that your manager is
not exactly your friend, right right, your boss is not
exactly your friend.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And especially when you consider the way that Jerry.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Jones maneuvers through this, like he kind of puts his
arms around guys and he's always bigging guys up and talking.
He wants to talk directly to the player during contract
negotiations with First of.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
All, I do not have this massive problem with I
really don't.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The player can shut that down at any Jerry can
come over and say whatever you want, Jerry, I'm not
negotiating with you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Call my agent and the conversation or even that. You
know what, if it's like an agent. Put this in
perspective for me.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
After hearing my take on the Mulagetta thing, he said,
if that was my client, what I would have done
was said, okay, you go talk to him.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And just walk out through room and tell me everything.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
He said, I'll tell you what to say back because
if the owner is the one that's in the way,
I work for you, I work for the player, right right,
And so I think ultimately to that point, Michael Partiers
never wanted.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
To leave Dallas. No, oh, there's no doubt. And I
do not think that. I don't think for up until
the eleventh hour.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I think Jerry Jones wanted Michael Partiers to be a
cowboy right up until the eleventh hour. I really do,
up until I think until it got to a point
with the agent and all of the business wise of
it where it's like, all right, well, at this point,
I'm walking away from this price, right, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But if you would if.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I think it, they well Jerry, because Jerry's always caved,
like exactly always, so I think that they thought Jerry
was gonna cave. But there were other implications because of
them paying CD Lamb and them paying Dak like the money,
and that they would have had to pay him. And
I think that's another thing that finally Jerry realized, I'm
(09:54):
going to be hamstrung with these three players because Dak is.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Paid so much money of your cap, you know, it's.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Hard to Ultimately thought it was the right in a vacuum.
On whatever day he was traded, it was the right
move to trade him. You want to go back a year,
two years, three years now, it becomes a lot more cloudy,
but you can't. The time machine doesn't exist. All you
can do is do what you can do today. And
so when he made that move, I was okay with it.
But it seems to me, like to your point that
(10:23):
Michael Parsons never thought he was not going to be
a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
He didn't. And I also think that there's something to.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
The idea of you're in a situation where you, like
you said, never thought you would be. But also it's
not exactly any different. Like I get that the Packers
when they made the trade for the for for Michael Parsions,
that were Super Bowl favorites and so on. But you
look at that division, they're not winning it. They're not
(10:52):
even in first place in that that division is wrapped
up before.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And even before Michael got hurt, they still weren't right.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
They weren't world beaters in the way that you that
we have seen like the Kansas City Chiefs do the
regular season in years pastor the Eagles in years pastor
are the forty nine ers in years past through the
regular season where you're like, Okay, even if this team
doesn't win the Super Bowl, this team is one of
the best teams in the NFL. Weekend week out was
not the case for the Packers and has never been
the case for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
They to me, he's switched.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
One spot to another, forty seven million more dollars and
forty seven degrees colder per every winter, and a place.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You don't really want to be, like, seriously, Like I
still believe that, and that's why he can't get out
of this Dallas thing. Seriously, why would you? You got
your money, You're on a team that's going to Dallas.
Cowboys didn't make the playoffs again, right, You're going to
the playoffs even though you're injured. But your team is
going to the playoffs. They're going to be in the mix.
(11:49):
You got a good young quarterback, you got some other pieces.
You're gonna be in the mix for the next couple
of years. Have a chance. The Cowboys are somewhere else.
And if I'm Green Bay, I'm disappointed just in the
idea that he's still messing with the Cowboys, and I
just like I just wouldn't want that to be the post.
And did you find out that he did stop his podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, it looks like the most recent episode is back
from when he did ten months ago, you know, content
that came out there, and.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That was good because I think that at that point
that ain't gotten in a way too what he would
did his list of the top ten quarterbacks, and Dak
wasn't it on his list, you know what I mean?
And then the reporters go to Dak and say, well,
what do you think Michael picked out his top ten?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
You're not in it? You know, you have a reaction
to that. You don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And he didn't preface it by saying, of course, excluding Dak,
who are the top ten quarterbacks? Because Dak would be
in my top ten? Then that's a different conversation.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, I just Michael Parsons to me seems to be
a guy like you are too online for me. And
I'm just saying it because that's a good way of saying. Like,
the reality is this, Michael Parsons has a talent that
six people in the world possess seven like, you know
what I mean, Like at the highest level that he does,
why are you even down here with us? Like, you know, like,
(13:09):
why are you I'm not saying like I was fine
with the laughing at Eberflush's comment. I found it funny
as well. You had no kidding trading me major defense
worse right, But then they keep on if that was
just like you know what we were talking about him earlier,
Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson every so often he had a remark,
tweeted something as Sean Payton was. I forget the exact details,
(13:31):
but Sean Payton wasn't painted in the best light. And
Russell Wilson said, oh, who would have seen this coming?
Or something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, But he did it once. It's funny. If you
do it once, you look like you're almost taking the
high road. If you do it once right, when you.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Do it continually, time and time again, you're not just
reminding people to it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're showing people.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
At least people are going to assume that you got
something wrong with it, right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And that's where we are with Micah Pauson's and uh,
just just the the infatuation of session is that the
right word? With with Dallas, he feels like he's he's
hurt that he's not there, even though like it's nothing
to do with min. They're out of the playoffs, and
I know he's hurt and he couldn't play anyway at
this point eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
(14:17):
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. You
got a problem MICHAEH. Parsons tweeting out about the Cowboys.
If you're a Packer fan, Packer management, or it doesn't
bother you, whatever, we don't care because obviously they must
have asked him to start with the podcast, don't you think.
(14:37):
I mean, he was doing it with the Cowboys the
whole time, and when they it just feels like last.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Updated February tenth, twenty twenty five. So he stopped it
after the Super Bowl last year and never so the
whole offseason, didn't do it, and then you know trades.
But so I don't know if they asked him or
we cannot surmise right now of this why the podcast,
but it is no That's something that we talked about
when he was doing this show every Wednesday for two years.
(15:07):
There was an extra Cowboys topic just in the sports
war because he said something all right, eight.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Low Martin. I'll do it anyway, uh.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Trayvon Diggs may start for the Green Bay Packers this
weekend after being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Right He
was released after Brian Schottenheimer and co. Said that he
wanted to stay back after a lot of drama has
been going on with Digs wanted to stay back after
the Washington game and spend time with his family for Christmas,
(17:16):
but was not, And to be honest, that's not a
super common request.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Most of these times. These things have to be scheduled
ahead of time.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But that leads Diggs now to join his former Dallas
Cowboys teammate Michael Parsons in Green Bay, which has led
to much conversation about it, which Michael Parson seems he
cannot avoid.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Rob, can you hear me, brother? I got you now,
Everything's good. My headphones kind of went out and I
was kind of I couldn't hear anything. We do want
to hear from you on this.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And you were just talking about Micah tweeting out and
all kinds of stuff and is this a good thing,
bad thing? What do you feel about it? Like it
just seemed like he's obsessed with Dallas and I get it.
It fits in because he did wind up going to
Green Bay, but still when you just rather him not
worry about what's going on in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
And Diggs, Michael Parsons and Trayvon Diggs have a good friendship.
Diggs talked about it in his first Green Bay availability.
That was the first call he made when he found
out he was going to be a packer.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
And they have a good relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Their moms like each other and are friendly, and they've
come of around the same age. If they're not the
same class of when they came in together in their
rookie year, first year, second year class.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All right, let's want to hear from you. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Do we have the call us?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You could just tell us Dave in Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dave?
Happy New Year?
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Hey you guys. Yeah, I'm only three thousand miles away
from you. But listen, I've been a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan,
and They're never gonna win a Super Bowl with Dak
Prescott and with the innyonic personnel moves that's made in
(19:04):
the front office Jerry Jones, Yep, you know they need
to do something. I would even go as far as
trade Dak for two or three great wide receivers. I mean,
I grew up in the starback era with Golden Richards
(19:25):
and Drew Pearson and Doomsday defense Bob Lily Walt Garrison.
Cowboys aren't even close to that.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
No, I hear you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I mean, I mean it all speaks for use. Thanks
for the call, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The last time the Cowboys played an NFC championship game,
what was that nineteen ninety five?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, but I think trading Dak Prescott's far from the like.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, No, they got other if your health if Dak
shows to me, if you're healthy, that he's a guy
that's going to get you double digit wins just about
and almost got him.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like to me, trading Dak is not the answer.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
But I get the frustration that team has not had
the success you'd like to he'd like for them too.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, and and Dak has had trouble beating some of
the better teams, and I think that's where people have
frustrations with him. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
Clayton in North Cakilaki, North Carolina. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Happy New Year, Clayton.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
Happy New Year. Guess what's up? Martin kind of touch
on what I was gonna call, Uh, don't touch on
a little bit about the Michael parksons. Is he got
a lot of friends of connection still with that team,
so therefore peace it feels like they're doing wrong. Naturally,
he's gonna speak up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I know, but I'm just asking you, if you're a
green Bay, like really like you're here, if I.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Would be a little worried.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Yeah, I would be a little worried if I was
Green Bay, because if you tick him off, just in
the slightest is he gonna start trashing you on one.
I also wanted to touch on one other thing you
were talking about earlier. It's not the problem with twelve
teams in the playoffs. The problem is the selection process
and having a month off in between games. You guys
(21:03):
both know if you have that much downtime in between games,
you're going to be sloppy and rusty.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Twenty five days is ridiculous, the only that's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
And one more, one more quick point, best voice in radio, whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Wow, Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, she heard you. Clayton.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, thank you, I say, say Clayton's name so he
can be excited. Moncey Clayton from North Carolina.
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Clayton from North Carolina, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I just saw Moncey grow at least five feet. Her
head has never been bigger. Oh my goodness, that's question. Hey,
let's squeeze one more rin. How about Alex in Harlem.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Alex?
Speaker 10 (21:53):
My god?
Speaker 12 (21:54):
Happy New Year?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Happy New Year? My man? How is everything in New York?
Everything cool?
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Thing is beautiful. I had to call in and check
on my guys. I just say this, man, I think
with the Micah Parsons podcast, we just got to accept
this is a part of the business. How many players
have podcasts these days that they talk about the podcast
right after they talk on their podcasts after the game.
I think the real test is going to come next
year when on the Packers. We'll see if he picks
(22:22):
up the podcast and does anybody care and is talking
about the Cowboys the only thing that people are going
to pay attention to. We'll see what happens next year.
You guys have a happy now you're happy twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No doubt Alex appreciate it a god. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I mean yeah, he's got the point of I wonder
if he was doing a podcast about the Jaguars if
it was still making noise. No, it's tweeting about the Jaguars, man,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's it's not the podcast per se.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's the idea that you that the teammates have to
answer the questions from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That's that's the distract. It's not the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
It's after you dish your own quarterback and then the
reporters go up to him and have to ask him
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's when the podcast becomes an issue. That's all all right?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, I just think that at some point we gotta
get there, all right, I want to We got Mancy.
She's ready, all right, Monty.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Radio, Yeah, ready for Clayton in North Carolina. She's ready.
Clayton is like, will you please stop taking calls and
take it to Mancy.
Speaker 11 (23:30):
Ah, thank you Clayton again.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That was sweet.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
Happy New Year to you and Happy New Year to everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You could hear the smile in that voice right now.
I'm just laughing. Now you gotta go over tel shows.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Can you bull guess what I heard?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That work?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Today?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He's gonna roll his eyes and be like, what did
you hear?
Speaker 11 (23:48):
We've got the Sugar Bowl going on right now, Fellas
and six seed Old Miss got on the scoreboard first
with a fifty five yard field goals. So they're up
on three seed Georgia right now, three zero with less
than six minutes to go in the first quarter, plenty
of game left. Trinidad Chambliss is six of ten for
thirty eight yards. Gunner Stockton is three of five for
twenty three yards. What happened earlier at the Rolls Bowl
(24:10):
While it was Indiana who put on a show against Alabama,
coming out on top thirty eight to three. Fernando Mendoza
finished fourteen of sixteen. That's right, he only missed two throws.
He threw for one hundred and ninety two yards three touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Alabama's often struggled.
Speaker 11 (24:23):
They also lost their starting quarterback Tys Simpson early in

Sadi Gay head coach in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
He Morris, No, I was just taking the who is it?
Do you want to know? No more guesses. I know
I'm putting you on the spot. Yeah, I'm just trying
to think of and nobody knew.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
That's the point of this whole video, the whole interviews.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
There's at least obs. I'll help you in the in
the video.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Demico Ryans, Mike McDaniel, John Harbaugh, Mike vrabel all are like,
I have no idea who this is.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Sean McVay says, I have no idea who this is?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
John Haball? It was John? Jim.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I met Jim and and I thought about it him
being a quarterback playing that many years that that. Yeah,
did Jim Harball. When I asked, he didn't know. So John, Yeah,
John is in this. This is like a three and
a half in the video. John is a cool forty
five seconds of it, being like I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Just Jim, What hell? How can I forget Jim?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right? You know what I'm saying. Yeah, no, that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
But that's a pretty good set, right, I just saw it.
I don't know what she charges, you know, Yeah that's
pretty good. Yeah, yeah, we wouldn't think that. All right,
Monty appreciate it, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Uh, it is the odd couple on New Year's Day,
New Year's Night, I should say, Rob Parker. Martin Wis's
here on Fox Sports Radio, and mart I know we
talked about this a little bit earlier. Uh, Indiana to
me and Monty you could jump into Indiana to me,
is not really a feel good story. And and I'm
just gonna say it, like I get when people latch
(27:53):
on the teams, like especially in college basketball, they don't
have a big star player and they you know, it's
kind of like before Steph Curry became Steph right, and
you were following that team and you're like, wow, this
is unbelievable. And and it was kind of a neat story,
like they shouldn't be keeping up with the big guys.
Sure Davidson, Like like, who is Davidson? I actually covered
(28:16):
that was at Ford Field, one of the one of
the Davis Nor Yeah, yeah, I covered that and I
remember you know what I mean, It was a great
story and that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But Indiana, when you pull.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
And I get the Indiana history, what does it say
today was the first day they won, uh since nineteen
ninety one?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Is that true? What was that?
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Like every stat you can't find that Indiana staff that
has any relevance in the last years.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Like nineteen ninety one, And you're looking at this going,
this is unbelievable where Indiana is. But when you really
pull back the curtain, Martin, the money part of it,
you shouldn't be that shot when you when you spent
you're in the top ten spending money on players. You
have a twenty million dollar coaching staff, and.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Why should we.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Like be shocked and a two million dollar quarterback. Why
should we be surprised that Indiana's in the middle to the.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Shock was last year?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
That the shock was last year because last year Kurt
Signetti walks in and off of training camp seemingly turns
really what Kurt Signetti did was what Deon Sanders was
what we were promised he was going to do at Colorado,
walked in day one transfer portal, nil winner. Right, Like
in Indiana, people still showing up for those games in
(29:35):
Boulder or not.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know, I can't seem to find them on Do.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You remember in the beginning, like it was a who's
who want to sideline?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
But do you know that's what that that's accept That's
essentially what Signetti did.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And so me after watching year one, Mantia.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Tell you when we started the show, we started doing
the show together a year ago, you know, about a
year ago. She's like, you know, I'm kind of new
to college football, trying to find like how do I
latch on? I was like, look this Indiana's is gonna
be really really good this year. And there's nobody's on
the vandwagon because they came out of nowhere last year.
Last year they were Cinderella. This year, to me, they
(30:09):
were an established, an establishment.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But people are still and that's fair, but if you're
paying attention, but people are still like, oh my god, Indiana,
you know what I mean? And I don't think they
know the numbers.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And I'm not trying to take away their winning or whatever,
but it's hard to look at them as Cinderella when
they brought their shoes at Prada.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You know, I just don't know it's as great.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
That is great.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
I just don't know if you're ever gonna get a
Cinderella story, because if you don't spend, you're not gonna
be able to compete.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So I hear, I hear what you're saying. But they
seem to have done it in a quick amount. Of
the Cinderella aspect of it is is how quickly it happened.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
It was eleven forty five, ten seconds ago and all
of a sudden, what what happened?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Like it was like this was supposed to end and
then all of a sudden, the clock did not strike midnight.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The party is still going on, right.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
So that's the That is the cinder relative me to me,
the big story for Indiana in college football.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
If I'm like.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Purdue or Mississippi State or you know, you name it, perennial,
just I'm at the bottom of my conference and my
big power conference.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'm looking around like.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Hold on a minute, because Indiana was one of those
schools that said it was a basketball school that hadn't
won in basketball in thirty years, right and once since
Bobby Knight?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Right up?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh what are we doing? No where, we're not competing.
But here's the thing. They got more Cuban writing checks,
you know what I mean. They got people with money
who are writing checked for them. And some of those schools,
if you don't have it, you just can't really compeat.
It's hard to compete. It just is because you can't
get a two million dollar quarterback or a coaching staff,
(31:44):
where India is paying a football coaching staff.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Twenty million dollars. It's incredible numbers.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And the thing but to the point earlier in Indiana,
I mean, I'm not sure how much more they're spending
now than this year than they were last year. Mendoza
obviously was a big spend, but winning, just like in baseball,
simply because you spend, does it mean you'll win?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I agree with you. I'm with I'm on that train
over and over.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
To Monchi's point. Show me the winner who's not spending,
do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, show it like
spending does not guarantee you winning. Just ask Michigan who
paid ten million for the quarterback, or Texas who paid
ten million for that quarterback.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They both played a something called the cheese At Bowl. Okay,
the college.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Football players start today, right, So winning doesn't guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But we've always said that even before, and Monty knows
this because our connection with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
The Dodgers are rich franchise. They always have money.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
They went from nineteen eighty eight to twenty twenty without
winning a World Series. Nineteen eighty eight, you would go,
how could the Dodgers not win? And now the Yankees
are in that rut right now too. Now they went
to the World Series a year ago, right, not this
past year, year ago, but they still haven since two
thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And you can talk about all the other teams that
have won since then. Even the Kansas City Royals have
won a World Series since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, that's crazy, right, So.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It ain't money. And the Mets are still looking to
win ever won since nineteen eighty six. They got the
richest owner in sports. Yeah, spending does not guarantee it,
so it's just craz.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Had to do it with. All right.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Coming up next, we got a little shop talk. What
are the best movie? What's the best movie you saw

Speaker 8 (33:59):
Something about touch wait for a kissing?

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Wait, you palented shop talk ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Now you know that we're worldly gentlemen here and ladies.
But sometimes we like to go outside of the world
of sports because there's so much going on. It's a
brand new year, and there's no better way to move
forward than to look back. And I know Rob Parker
is a movie Fassan.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
It owed me.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
He's itinerary. He goes to the movie theaters probably every
other weekend. I don't know how you have.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Time, you know what, I'm actually embarrassed.
Speaker 8 (36:07):
Oh oh, did not see a movie this year?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
You didn't see a movie this year at all?
Speaker 11 (36:12):
Not even wrong raw, not even one that didn't come
out this year, but a new movie for you?
Speaker 6 (36:17):
No, you wanted the craziest Sam MONTI rob. When was
the last time you sat down and watched an actual
television show?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I'm talking about like a right weekend, Yeah, television show.
You ready, I'm embarrassed, Seinfeldt and seinfeld went.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Off in what year was that? Ninety two? That was
the last time he said, I gotta be home Wednesday
at eight Thursday.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Night, Thursday whatever day ended May fourteenth, nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Ninety eight. Okay, I feel better. Okay, I wasn't even
born for another two years. Oh my wow? Oh crazy?
All right, you guys, you guys have watched movies.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Yeah, So the question I have tonight, that's gonna be
great for all us to go around, What was the
best movie or TV show you saw last year?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
And why?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
I have two qualifiers last year now, COVID was six
years ago. That's insane. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
That's the way calendars work.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
It's crazy to say BC now like before COVID.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
So I think my my number one movie was Sinners
with the although we got that, yeah, but i'll tell
you risky move with one Michael B. Jordan is definitely
enough to Michael B. Jordan's real risky move. I'm glad
it played off. I would never try it again. The
best TV show I saw All Her fault on Peacock.
(37:36):
If you haven't seen it yet and you still got
married after that watching that show, listen, it wasn't all
her funt. I actually think I watched it after I
got married. But that's the last show that I've seen
that had me thinking, like, do I really want to
stay up another episode? The answer was yes, I did,
and I did. I like almost misworked the next thing?
Many about you?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
All right?
Speaker 11 (37:56):
So for my favorite movie, I think of the year,
I'm a big horror movie and I really liked Sinners
was good.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I really liked horror movie horrors. That's the best voice
of radio, best voice of radio, bring her back, It's that.
Speaker 11 (38:12):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
This is Alex movie good that's a TV show. No,
it is a movie, and it's a scary movie. It
is uncomfortable watching.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, bring her back really really good.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
And when it comes to the TV show, also a
scary one.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Did you watch Welcome to Darry yet?
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Oh my god, you two for two with me?
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Welcome to Darry's so good. It's better than the movies.
Can you watch it if you're lactose intolerant, No you can't.
There we go, There we go. I mean, you're getting
all of this for free, for free?
Speaker 8 (38:48):
New Your same Rob, New Year's Same Rob, Something's don't chain?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
What about you? What you got? It was a good
year for movie.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
I still haven't seen Marty Supreme, which everyone says is
like maybe the movie of the year, but I I
recently just saw the new Leonardo DiCaprio won one battle
after another. That one was really good. Weapons was good.
That's where I thought you were going when you said
scary movies.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
I don't think that was scary.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
But it's billed as a horror, so I thought that
might have been enjoyed. I enjoyed it that Rob. Like
if you're going to see one movie, this year. I
mean like Sinners, weapons or one battle after another. And
I know you pretty well. I think you would enjoy Sinners. Sinners, Yeah,
because have you ever watched like an old school vampire movie?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (39:32):
With that, Okay, I think you know.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I don't like the blood and guts like that.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There's a little bit of That's Wife is a Sinners
I'm talking about like I could have never watched.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
That's looks great Michael B.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Jordan, But like the like the like the chainsaw massacre,
just like over the top, that's a theme.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I couldn't watch that. What is the other one? Saw
people af their legs and all that?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
So good?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Do you want to play a game?
Speaker 6 (40:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I don't want to play? Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Okay, I'll go quick on this one.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
So my favorite movie of the year I just saw
yesterday is Pogonia.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Oh he was your favorite of the year.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
God.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I walked into the studio today and Alex was raving
about this movie. Didn't Porky pig date her? Oh that
was Petunia?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
Okay, I haven't seen this one. I think I'm just
gonna hit the heart out the other one.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
Okay, So Bogonia for my movie, But TV show Pluribus incredible, incredible.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It's on every piece of money, isn't it plurabis them. No,
you know, tiz I did have a year once.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I don't listen to twelve minutes of music, Rob, I
need to call the NFL and get a side commentary
of you watching games.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
That's twelve minutes of music. Calls you for the whole year.
