twenty sixteen and he's been in thegame for how long? Uh? Since
O eight? He was terrible lastyear, not bad the year before with
Last year was in Miami. Yearbefore that was with the White Sox.
The Rangers signed him to a minorleague deal. But that's a piece of
(03:29):
news. Yeah, and we've activatedJonathan Hernandez, who throws the ball hard
and has absolutely no idea where it'sgoing or what it's going to do.
Yeah, they're trying, they're tryinglike hell to figure out who who can
throw a baseball. Uh, they'retrying to like hell to figure him out
(03:49):
because they've they've they've give him,that guy a lot of chances. He's
twenty seven now. Yeah, it'sbeen a lot of years of trying to
make Jonathan Hernandez a thing, andI'd love for it to be a thing
at some point. And there arebut a few times when it looked like
it just might be. But justdoes that kind of thing looking good,
(04:12):
pops up, it drifts away.I love that they So the Rangers have
activated Jonaheim, he was on thebereavement list. They've activated Jonathan Hernandez,
which means two people got to go. So they optioned down Sam Huff and
right hander Owen White. Do youthink it was fun for Owen White?
(04:32):
He got called up from Round Rockon Friday, didn't pitch in any games,
and is now going back down doeshe get paid more for that?
Yes, for that little stint ofdoing nothing, Sure the hell does.
Sure he's okay with it. Thenyou get that that's right, that wad
major league money for that week.So they're trying, they're trying to figure
(04:56):
it out. Good news if you'rea Ranger fan. And I don't know
if this will ever stop being oldfor me, but it hasn't yet.
The good news is the Astros suckexcept when they play the Rangers. But
the Astros are seven and sixteen.Wow, that's beautiful. Yeah, it's
(05:21):
gorgeous. Rangers are a half gameup in the West baby twelve and eleven.
Okay, you're playing the second placeMariager. So this is a first
place game tonight. Yes, winneris the king. This series is gonna
be big. This series is gonnamatter. Oh, let me find you
guys. Wanna do some home runpicks? Sure, God, lineups,
(05:45):
I do. Let me go.It looks like whenever the last time we
pick, it must been Friday.Let me see. Let me flip my
order around. I had seeger there. I'm about to check a Friday box
score to see if anybody scored points. But our order is Julie Grubs,
Glenn's Mike, Me and our lineupis Simeon Seeger, Evan Carter, A,
(06:15):
Doolie, Garcia, Sweet, NathanielLowe, Josh Smith. Lockey game
last night. Dude, he wentfrom gala seven o'clock Rangers gala to eight
thirty Stars game. Wouldn't have thatgala for long. And I thought at
the Stars game he was a littlebit overdressed for that occasion. Yeah,
(06:38):
and now we know why. Yeah, cowboy up. I thought it was
a cowboy Yeah, bala, acowboy ish gala. What's the order again,
Julian who? Uh? The orderthat we are going to pick in

(06:59):
Rangers are going to bat in isSimeon Seegar Carter, Garcia, Lowe,
Josh Smith, White, Langford,jonaheime Leoti Tavares. Just need Josh Young
back and we got the whole thing. Hy, We're getting there, Julie,
who's going to hit a bomb?Ski? Who's going? Yama?
(07:23):

He's due Langford. Let me checkour text he text a Ruskies see if
we have anything from the Glen's Dolly'sseeger Okay, secret is you guys get
(07:44):
a seegar mikey Um. I'll takejonaheime good pick Jonah time, which leaves
me to tick between Evan or Simeonor Nate Lowe. I will take Evan
(08:15):
Carter, Evan my man. Iwas four letters into writing that by your
name. Oh no, you alreadyknew. How did you know what I
was gonna do? I just did. I'm not predictable like that. He's
hitting the ball a little better,two for four on Sunday with a solo
home run. Yeah, he's gettingbusy now mm hmmm, just waiting on
(08:37):
Wyatt. Then we'll be off andrunning. It'll be good. Dane Dunning
on the hill this evening. Bythe way, Now, there's one other
thing that happened this weekend that kindof caught my attention. Yeah, and
it caught my attention because I've neversaid anything about this, but I thought
this, and I never said anythingabout it because I thought everybody would think
(09:01):
I was crazy and it was justabsolutely too far fetched and mainly they really
didn't need him there until now.But but for me and this is just
me John John Gray has always lookedmore reliever than starter. And they ran
(09:22):
him out in the bullpen this weekendand he was good. He was really
good. He looked like he lookedcomfortable, comfortable out there, looked like
he knew what he was doing outthere. It looked like he knew how
to pitch out of the bullpen,because you know, usually bullpen guys come
in throwing, you know, justa couple of pitches. Yeah, and
(09:43):
he was very effective too. Ohboy. Five outs, no hits,
no walks, four strikeout. Yeah. I mean he was a badass out
there, that is dealing. Sothis was the sixth inning on Saturday night.
Yeah, So it wasn't a real, you know, pressure closer situation
or anything like that. And justbecause you profile better as a bullpen guy
(10:05):
than a starter, that doesn't necessarilymean that you profile like a closer.
But that's okay. This team needsit all. Any team needs it all,
and none more so than this team. Yeah, And I don't know
what that means if they make ifthey were to move him to the bullpen,
(10:26):
I don't know what they do aboutreplacing him in the starting rotation,
save for the fact that they dohave a guy who looks like he's about
to come back around and join therotation again, and that is Max Schurzer.
Yeah, they're saying early May forhim, right, yeah they are.
So I don't know that should beon the doorstep, right, Well
(10:48):
you would, yeah, you wouldthink. I haven't heard anything about,
you know, how his bounce backis going, or whether he's rehabbed or
not. But they didn't. Thevibe I got off of this injury that
was there was not going to bea real long term thing. So yeah,
he may be on the way backtoo, and that will give them
(11:09):
a little bit more flexibility. Yeah, and it's oh, here we go.
They're saying Bradford late April. Okay, well we're in. If this
ain't late late April, I don'tknow what is right And uh spores,
they're saying late April not a starterfrom somebody, that can happen. They
should be back quite soon. Hewent double a Frisco today, yep,
(11:31):
so he's on it for rehab assignment. Okay, So this look operation tread
water. They're treading. Yeah theyare, COSI you're treading waiting on Sureser,
waiting on Young and then let's playbaseball. They've gotten through some tough
(11:52):
times and now that's starting to leveloff a little bit, So let's go.
But if they lose tonight, theywon't be in first place anymore.
And I quit. So you mightwant to win tonight? Boys? You
quit? You quit? What thejob the Rangers? Yeah, I'll quit
the Rangers at least for a minutetonight. We'll let tonight get to you.
(12:13):
Well, I only cheer for thefirst place Texas Rangers. Okay,
yeah, I don't cheer for secondplace Texas Ranger, which the maps are
going to find out tonight. Godown. Oh too, see what happens?
You gonna stop cheering for them?I'll quit. He will turn on
you, man, he will turnon you. NFL Draft in two days.
Yeah, I'll quit them. I'llcome back after the draft, but
(12:35):
I'll quit them for a minute.I bet your ass I will. What
else? So? Now, whatdoes this show that you and k T
we're gonna do? Gonna be like, Uh, it's we're going to put
forth the same amount of effort fromsix to nine pm as the Cowboys put
(12:56):
out in free agency. Oh really, we will be there, we will
exist, we will be on theair. I don't believe for three hours
of drafting, because you've been studying. I have been studying. It'll be
fun. Kevin been studying. He'sin Italy, Kevin. Kevin will be
(13:16):
there to uh ask me questions.I think Kevin will be there to steer,
right, He's got to steer whileI'm trying to catch fish. So
he's your straight man. Huh,that's right. It'll be the draft analyst.
Yes, I will be, andI'll be wearing my analyst robes.
Kevin will be wearing his host soupedYeah. Yeah, it should be great.
(13:41):
I think he should dress up forthat. What do you want me
to wear? I'll do it?No, I think Kevin should. Okay,
not you, Okay. I wasthinking about wearing overalls, denim,
do it nothing underneath denim, overalls, flip flops, awesome, blue collar.
(14:01):
I'm here to draft. I'm hereto work, not here to b
s. All right, So whereare we going to be on remotes this
weekend? This week we are goingto be out at Buffalo Wild Wings on
Thursday in Grapevine, and then youand I are going to go home.
Jeff and Kevin are going to stayup all night long on the air,
(14:22):
and we're going to ask the Buffalowild Wings location if they can sleep there,
if there's chicken. M okay,just make sure you do that on
the air. Excuse me, which, mister wild Wings, I have a
question. I'd like to stay thoughts. I think they would eject me.
(14:45):
I don't think that would work outfor us. All right, two minute
drill time right now? No,no, no, it's a good shot.
I mean it would be a nine, it'd be a eight minute drill.
Yeah, it would be a lot. You missed Man Monday. I
sent in and I don't know.Yeah, I played a long Yeah,
(15:09):
I was all about I don't knowman. The thing lasted like an hour.
What do you mean there's a doublesegment. I don't know, man
Lounge. We didn't even get throughall the I don't Knowman's Yeah, yeah,
which is you know, I don'tknow. Man's pretty popular. There
were people tweeting at us mad thattheir I don't Knowmen's didn't get played right
gruby, Yeah they never will.Oh damn No. I tweeted him just
(15:33):
like, hey, sorry, Monday, you're gonna be first in line.
Okay, that's nice. That's nice. Uh. I don't know, man,
but I think the Timberwolves might winthe championship only because I found out
today that Rudy go Bear went anddid the Aaron Rodgers thing. He went
(16:00):
into a hole in the ground andhid for a few days in the dark.
He did I don't. He didn'tdo ayahuasca. And the reason I
found this out is because it wasa Tim McMahon wrote an article why do
so many players have beef with RudyGobert. Everybody in the NBA is mean
to Rudy Gobert because he started COVID. Now that first of all, that's
(16:23):
a big part of it. Andthat's what people said to him online,
is you started COVID or you broughtCOVID to America. Flapping matter, Rudy,
Look what happened because he didn't knowhe had COVID when he made COVID
jokes of touching everyone's microphone. Itturned out he had COVID while he did
it. Yeah, and he's aweird basketball player in twenty twenty four because
(16:45):
like he grabs rebounds in block shots. That's not a job in the NBA
anymore. Really, you got toshoot threes and see other things and he
doesn't do that. So it's aninteresting story about how everybody in the NBA
and like his journey through the NBAand like, how come people don't like
you? And I think you're themost disliked. I think in the NBA
(17:06):
Anonymous Player's poll, he was votedthe most overrated player in the league.
Like, guys don't like him.I'm looking at it right now. Is
is that? Yep? He is? Thirteen point six percent of people shows
him, Like what did Rudy doto y'all? Something? COVID like Draymond
Green's talked crap about him for years, and I think people just follow in
those footsteps, like, oh,okay, if that's a guy that you're
(17:26):
gonna pick on him, all right, we'll pick on that guy. Uh.
But yeah. He reached out toAaron Rodgers' last offseason and he's like,
hey, man, what's up withthose darkness retreats? And Aaron was
like the government started aids, oh, that's not what you asked about the
darkness retreat, right right, right, right right, And so he hooked
(17:48):
him up with the people who dothe Darkness retreat and he said darkness retreat.
Yeah, yeah, I got todo his turn off the lights in
your house. Now you gotta getaway from the phone. You get to
go flip phone and throw your phoneaway and turn off the lights in your
house. That'll do the same thing. Just I guess you don't really have
to pay someone to do this.No, could just go in the garage.
(18:11):
Yes, good, Rudy said.We're so distracted by everything that's been
thrown at us. Everything we hear, we watch, we see on the
phone, we listen to, sowe don't get to sometimes really be alone
with ourselves. So he went,like Batman into the dark. I don't
(18:32):
want the quotes from the sky caveretreats. Guy, we keep going for
salesman for the nighttime retreats. Yeah, because here it's just this little doorway
into the rock hill in the mountain. Yeah, I could build that.
I could too. Rudy Gobert toldESPN he viewed external noise from the media
(18:52):
and players as the false narrative abouthim, and he sought a place that
was free of those distractions. Hespent sixty four hours in his dark room.
Geez that they bring him little mealsand slide it through the door and
then close the door and run away. Yes, he said he did push
ups and squats for exercise and calledit meditation times a thousand, and you're
(19:18):
in the dark. It was avery powerful experience. It felt like a
huge reset and also a powerful checkpoint. I had a lot of gratitude.
I went back and all the thingsthat I've experienced up to this point,
and all the things that I've beenthrough, and all the great people that
have around me. I realized thatwas exactly where I was supposed to be
in my journey. When you're inthe dark, which shows the things that
are inside of you. If you'renegative, you see negative things, and
(19:41):
if you're positive, you see positivethings. So you realize that at the
end of the day, you createyour own reality. So, yeah,
he went into the dark. Andthen that's why Minnesota is kicking ass.
That's why they beat the brakes offthe Suns in Game one is because Rudy's
been in the dark, and that'swhy you're picking them. Yeah, I'm
picking them to win the championship.Wow, because Rudio was in the dark.
Well, even after going into thedark, everybody thinks he's the most
(20:04):
overrated player in the lague. That'swhy he went in the dark. It's
like, why is everybody so meanto me? I'm just gonna ignore everyone
and go into a hole. I'llcome back later. And then he pops
out of the hole in the groundand it's like, hey, guys,
I'm back and they're like, oh, look, you were voted the most
overrated. He's like, I'm goingback to the hole. Hey, I'm
back. I'm going back there again. I'm done with y'all this. So
(20:26):
what if we all did like votesabout co workers and kept it a secret
and then it was revealed, likethat's it's kind of crazy that they do
this. That would be tough forskin. Yeah yeah, oh gosh,
he'd get most overrated, hated,loved, overrated, underrated reactor, most
(20:47):
likely to kill people or help people. Uh huh. Two one four seven
eight seven one is our phone numberto our radio station that you can use
two one four seven eight seven sevenone. And I want to quickly remind

Yeah, I'm talking about you onthe radio right now. Yeah,
you got to walk away anyway,go Math and I would love your buns
cool. Yeah, you're on thetumnu drill go. I think that I
(22:25):
heard Jerry Jones say the cow Wizare picking twenty fourth this year because they
were the twenty fourth best team lastyear, and to quote a local legend,
I don't think that's correct. Ithink that you're on the two minu
of drill go. I think thatJarrah is our very own homemade hot dog.
(22:49):
Oh, how about that, you'reon the two minute drill go.
I think that uh kid, actuallyhe was one, now I was.
I don't know about him, butnow he's like one of my favorites.
So anyways, have a good day, guys who Yeah, see you voted
for him, you hated him.You're on the two in the drill go.
(23:11):
You're on the two men a drillgo. Hey, right time,
you're on the two in a drillgo. I think that I would love
nothing more than for those hay seedpumpkins to run the Cowboys for as long
as I live. Go Bert,Yeah, I figure those Eagles fans.
Yeah, you're on the two ina drill go. I think that Jeff
(23:32):
and Kat should come on my golfYouTube channel and play me and my buddy
in a two B two scramble.Let's go. If you have a golf
YouTube channel, it would not bea close match. You destroy us.
I suck. You're on the twoand a drill, go. I think
that in order of be paying homageto Kevin Gray. Sorry I'm a little
lightheaded, I'm going to give aa YO for the Mavericks and hope we
(23:56):
all win. Thanks Bie. Okay, you're on the two minute drill.
Go. I think that I forgotwhat a thunk. You're on the two
in drill go. I think thatthis is how the eyebrow negotiation to go.
Jerry writes down the number sides acrossthe table. Back looks at it,
(24:18):
frowns, writes down another number,sides it back over handed to Jerry.
Jerry looks at it. I raisedhis eyebrows. Right. Scratch that
number out sides the back over.Dad looks at it. Gives them the
old Rock people's eyebrow. That's howthat works when you're on the two minute.
Joan, you got the last word. Go. I think that the
(24:41):
Geyer Wildcat baseball team's gonna smack Rock. He'll prosper down, sweep them,
hit the playoffs with momentum of you. All right, you know Some days

(07:23):
Going? Yama? My guy,Shoopy, give me Wyatt, Wyatt,
He's due Langford. Let me checkour text he text a Ruskies see if
we have anything from the Glen's Dolly'sseeger Okay, secret is you guys get
(07:44):
a seegar mikey Um. I'll takejonaheime good pick Jonah time, which leaves
me to tick between Evan or Simeonor Nate Lowe. I will take Evan
(08:15):
Carter, Evan my man. Iwas four letters into writing that by your
name. Oh no, you alreadyknew. How did you know what I
was gonna do? I just did. I'm not predictable like that. He's
hitting the ball a little better,two for four on Sunday with a solo
home run. Yeah, he's gettingbusy now mm hmmm, just waiting on
(08:37):
Wyatt. Then we'll be off andrunning. It'll be good. Dane Dunning
on the hill this evening. Bythe way, Now, there's one other
thing that happened this weekend that kindof caught my attention. Yeah, and
it caught my attention because I've neversaid anything about this, but I thought
this, and I never said anythingabout it because I thought everybody would think
(09:01):
I was crazy and it was justabsolutely too far fetched and mainly they really
didn't need him there until now.But but for me and this is just
me John John Gray has always lookedmore reliever than starter. And they ran
(09:22):
him out in the bullpen this weekendand he was good. He was really
good. He looked like he lookedcomfortable, comfortable out there, looked like
he knew what he was doing outthere. It looked like he knew how
to pitch out of the bullpen,because you know, usually bullpen guys come
in throwing, you know, justa couple of pitches. Yeah, and
(09:43):
he was very effective too. Ohboy. Five outs, no hits,
no walks, four strikeout. Yeah. I mean he was a badass out
there, that is dealing. Sothis was the sixth inning on Saturday night.
Yeah, So it wasn't a real, you know, pressure closer situation
or anything like that. And justbecause you profile better as a bullpen guy
(10:05):
than a starter, that doesn't necessarilymean that you profile like a closer.
But that's okay. This team needsit all. Any team needs it all,
and none more so than this team. Yeah, And I don't know
what that means if they make ifthey were to move him to the bullpen,
(10:26):
I don't know what they do aboutreplacing him in the starting rotation,
save for the fact that they dohave a guy who looks like he's about
to come back around and join therotation again, and that is Max Schurzer.
Yeah, they're saying early May forhim, right, yeah they are.
So I don't know that should beon the doorstep, right, Well
(10:48):
you would, yeah, you wouldthink. I haven't heard anything about,
you know, how his bounce backis going, or whether he's rehabbed or
not. But they didn't. Thevibe I got off of this injury that
was there was not going to bea real long term thing. So yeah,
he may be on the way backtoo, and that will give them
(11:09):
a little bit more flexibility. Yeah, and it's oh, here we go.
They're saying Bradford late April. Okay, well we're in. If this
ain't late late April, I don'tknow what is right And uh spores,
they're saying late April not a starterfrom somebody, that can happen. They
should be back quite soon. Hewent double a Frisco today, yep,
(11:31):
so he's on it for rehab assignment. Okay, So this look operation tread
water. They're treading. Yeah theyare, COSI you're treading waiting on Sureser,
waiting on Young and then let's playbaseball. They've gotten through some tough
(11:52):
times and now that's starting to leveloff a little bit, So let's go.
But if they lose tonight, theywon't be in first place anymore.
And I quit. So you mightwant to win tonight? Boys? You
quit? You quit? What thejob the Rangers? Yeah, I'll quit
the Rangers at least for a minutetonight. We'll let tonight get to you.
(12:13):
Well, I only cheer for thefirst place Texas Rangers. Okay,
yeah, I don't cheer for secondplace Texas Ranger, which the maps are
going to find out tonight. Godown. Oh too, see what happens?
You gonna stop cheering for them?I'll quit. He will turn on
you, man, he will turnon you. NFL Draft in two days.
Yeah, I'll quit them. I'llcome back after the draft, but
(12:35):
I'll quit them for a minute.I bet your ass I will. What
else? So? Now, whatdoes this show that you and k T
we're gonna do? Gonna be like, Uh, it's we're going to put
forth the same amount of effort fromsix to nine pm as the Cowboys put
(12:56):
out in free agency. Oh really, we will be there, we will
exist, we will be on theair. I don't believe for three hours
of drafting, because you've been studying. I have been studying. It'll be
fun. Kevin been studying. He'sin Italy, Kevin. Kevin will be
(13:16):
there to uh ask me questions.I think Kevin will be there to steer,
right, He's got to steer whileI'm trying to catch fish. So
he's your straight man. Huh,that's right. It'll be the draft analyst.
Yes, I will be, andI'll be wearing my analyst robes.
Kevin will be wearing his host soupedYeah. Yeah, it should be great.
(13:41):
I think he should dress up forthat. What do you want me
to wear? I'll do it?No, I think Kevin should. Okay,
not you, Okay. I wasthinking about wearing overalls, denim,
do it nothing underneath denim, overalls, flip flops, awesome, blue collar.
(14:01):
I'm here to draft. I'm hereto work, not here to b
s. All right, So whereare we going to be on remotes this
weekend? This week we are goingto be out at Buffalo Wild Wings on
Thursday in Grapevine, and then youand I are going to go home.
Jeff and Kevin are going to stayup all night long on the air,
(14:22):
and we're going to ask the Buffalowild Wings location if they can sleep there,
if there's chicken. M okay,just make sure you do that on
the air. Excuse me, which, mister wild Wings, I have a
question. I'd like to stay thoughts. I think they would eject me.
(14:45):
I don't think that would work outfor us. All right, two minute
drill time right now? No,no, no, it's a good shot.
I mean it would be a nine, it'd be a eight minute drill.
Yeah, it would be a lot. You missed Man Monday. I
sent in and I don't know.Yeah, I played a long Yeah,
(15:09):
I was all about I don't knowman. The thing lasted like an hour.
What do you mean there's a doublesegment. I don't know, man
Lounge. We didn't even get throughall the I don't Knowman's Yeah, yeah,
which is you know, I don'tknow. Man's pretty popular. There
were people tweeting at us mad thattheir I don't Knowmen's didn't get played right
gruby, Yeah they never will.Oh damn No. I tweeted him just
(15:33):
like, hey, sorry, Monday, you're gonna be first in line.
Okay, that's nice. That's nice. Uh. I don't know, man,
but I think the Timberwolves might winthe championship only because I found out
today that Rudy go Bear went anddid the Aaron Rodgers thing. He went
(16:00):
into a hole in the ground andhid for a few days in the dark.
He did I don't. He didn'tdo ayahuasca. And the reason I
found this out is because it wasa Tim McMahon wrote an article why do
so many players have beef with RudyGobert. Everybody in the NBA is mean
to Rudy Gobert because he started COVID. Now that first of all, that's
(16:23):
a big part of it. Andthat's what people said to him online,
is you started COVID or you broughtCOVID to America. Flapping matter, Rudy,
Look what happened because he didn't knowhe had COVID when he made COVID
jokes of touching everyone's microphone. Itturned out he had COVID while he did
it. Yeah, and he's aweird basketball player in twenty twenty four because
(16:45):
like he grabs rebounds in block shots. That's not a job in the NBA
anymore. Really, you got toshoot threes and see other things and he
doesn't do that. So it's aninteresting story about how everybody in the NBA
and like his journey through the NBAand like, how come people don't like
you? And I think you're themost disliked. I think in the NBA
(17:06):
Anonymous Player's poll, he was votedthe most overrated player in the league.
Like, guys don't like him.I'm looking at it right now. Is
is that? Yep? He is? Thirteen point six percent of people shows
him, Like what did Rudy doto y'all? Something? COVID like Draymond
Green's talked crap about him for years, and I think people just follow in
those footsteps, like, oh,okay, if that's a guy that you're
(17:26):
gonna pick on him, all right, we'll pick on that guy. Uh.
But yeah. He reached out toAaron Rodgers' last offseason and he's like,
hey, man, what's up withthose darkness retreats? And Aaron was
like the government started aids, oh, that's not what you asked about the
darkness retreat, right right, right, right right, And so he hooked
(17:48):
him up with the people who dothe Darkness retreat and he said darkness retreat.
Yeah, yeah, I got todo his turn off the lights in
your house. Now you gotta getaway from the phone. You get to
go flip phone and throw your phoneaway and turn off the lights in your
house. That'll do the same thing. Just I guess you don't really have
to pay someone to do this.No, could just go in the garage.
(18:11):
Yes, good, Rudy said.We're so distracted by everything that's been
thrown at us. Everything we hear, we watch, we see on the
phone, we listen to, sowe don't get to sometimes really be alone
with ourselves. So he went,like Batman into the dark. I don't
(18:32):
want the quotes from the sky caveretreats. Guy, we keep going for
salesman for the nighttime retreats. Yeah, because here it's just this little doorway
into the rock hill in the mountain. Yeah, I could build that.
I could too. Rudy Gobert toldESPN he viewed external noise from the media
(18:52):
and players as the false narrative abouthim, and he sought a place that
was free of those distractions. Hespent sixty four hours in his dark room.
Geez that they bring him little mealsand slide it through the door and
then close the door and run away. Yes, he said he did push
ups and squats for exercise and calledit meditation times a thousand, and you're
(19:18):
in the dark. It was avery powerful experience. It felt like a
huge reset and also a powerful checkpoint. I had a lot of gratitude.
I went back and all the thingsthat I've experienced up to this point,
and all the things that I've beenthrough, and all the great people that
have around me. I realized thatwas exactly where I was supposed to be
in my journey. When you're inthe dark, which shows the things that
are inside of you. If you'renegative, you see negative things, and
(19:41):
if you're positive, you see positivethings. So you realize that at the
end of the day, you createyour own reality. So, yeah,
he went into the dark. Andthen that's why Minnesota is kicking ass.
That's why they beat the brakes offthe Suns in Game one is because Rudy's
been in the dark, and that'swhy you're picking them. Yeah, I'm
picking them to win the championship.Wow, because Rudio was in the dark.
Well, even after going into thedark, everybody thinks he's the most
(20:04):
overrated player in the lague. That'swhy he went in the dark. It's
like, why is everybody so meanto me? I'm just gonna ignore everyone
and go into a hole. I'llcome back later. And then he pops
out of the hole in the groundand it's like, hey, guys,
I'm back and they're like, oh, look, you were voted the most
overrated. He's like, I'm goingback to the hole. Hey, I'm
back. I'm going back there again. I'm done with y'all this. So
(20:26):
what if we all did like votesabout co workers and kept it a secret
and then it was revealed, likethat's it's kind of crazy that they do
this. That would be tough forskin. Yeah yeah, oh gosh,
he'd get most overrated, hated,loved, overrated, underrated reactor, most
(20:47):
likely to kill people or help people. Uh huh. Two one four seven
eight seven one is our phone numberto our radio station that you can use
two one four seven eight seven sevenone. And I want to quickly remind
you to stick around all evening becausethe Maverick's playt nine o'clock right here in

(22:25):
heard Jerry Jones say the cow Wizare picking twenty fourth this year because they
were the twenty fourth best team lastyear, and to quote a local legend,
I don't think that's correct. Ithink that you're on the two minu
of drill go. I think thatJarrah is our very own homemade hot dog.
(22:49):
Oh, how about that, you'reon the two minute drill go.
I think that uh kid, actuallyhe was one, now I was.
I don't know about him, butnow he's like one of my favorites.
So anyways, have a good day, guys who Yeah, see you voted
for him, you hated him.You're on the two in the drill go.
(23:11):
You're on the two men a drillgo. Hey, right time,
you're on the two in a drillgo. I think that I would love
nothing more than for those hay seedpumpkins to run the Cowboys for as long
as I live. Go Bert,Yeah, I figure those Eagles fans.
Yeah, you're on the two ina drill go. I think that Jeff
(23:32):

in a two B two scramble.Let's go. If you have a golf
YouTube channel, it would not bea close match. You destroy us.

lightheaded, I'm going to give aa YO for the Mavericks and hope we
(23:56):
all win. Thanks Bie. Okay, you're on the two minute drill.
Go. I think that I forgotwhat a thunk. You're on the two
in drill go. I think thatthis is how the eyebrow negotiation to go.
Jerry writes down the number sides acrossthe table. Back looks at it,
(24:18):
frowns, writes down another number,sides it back over handed to Jerry.
Jerry looks at it. I raisedhis eyebrows. Right. Scratch that
number out sides the back over.Dad looks at it. Gives them the
old Rock people's eyebrow. That's howthat works when you're on the two minute.
Joan, you got the last word. Go. I think that the

hit the playoffs with momentum of you. All right, you know Some days
