"What do you say when your golf partner casually drops, ‘I haven’t killed anyone since ’71?”In this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take listeners on a rollercoaster of emotion, laughter, and jaw-dropping moments. KT shares a deeply personal and unexpectedly powerful story from his recent Colorado vacation, where a casual round of golf turned into a profound encounter with Danny Puffpaff, a disabled Vietnam veteran with a swivel-chair golf cart, a killer sense of humor, and a past that includes surviving a landmine explosion and coaching at the Disabled Ski Olympics.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Cobby.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oh the cobbe m I news you gim I news control.
You have a what's in the tobe? Hopefully is living
what Coby? Yeah? Uh went to Colorado last week. Good
(00:27):
to get out of here in August if you can, right, friends,
got got a little house, little house, a nice house
out there in the winter Park area, i'll say, which
is about an hour and a half west of Denver.
So we had uh one of my wife's cousins graduated
college at Tech uh and I had to go to
(00:49):
that on Saturday. So I was like, just might as
well just make make the drive. You're half do that,
but you're you're kind of halfway there, living on a prayer.
So did that. Stayed out till three am and Lubwick.
That was good, and then you just drive on up
to Denver. Very good. So one of the day things
(01:10):
I wanted to do though is clearly I have played
golf and you don't have to rent clubs. My golf
clubs are in my trunk. This is great, but I
always ask to get a tea time alone, like I
hit them with it. I play fast, just let me
and like we're always kind of busy. So got gotta
play with some strangers. So Rocks went with me because
she doesn't mind like just looking at her phone or
(01:31):
reading a book and just kind of getting outdoors and
enjoying the nice mountain air because it is beautiful and
it's seventy degrees.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
If you're in a nice location, I can convince the
wife to go on a golf trip with me just
to hang if the if it's a beautiful course and
the weather's nice.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So I get there and I'm signed by tea time
and there's two other guys. They're from California. Nice fellas.
They're older, they've been retired for a few years. But
they go, yeah, they have we're gonna our fourth is
the sky appears already at the tea box. Bucks. Uh.
They said something about we're gonna have to tee the
ball up for him though, and I went, that seems weird.
(02:06):
The two guys from California who'd already talked to the starter, Okaya.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Wait, so you're by yourself. Two guys from California are
together and there's one mystery guy.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yep. So get up to the tea box and I
meet mystery guy. Guy's name is Danny. Danny has a
golf cart. And in Danny's golf cart, he has one
of those lawnmower kind of three sixty chairs, so he
can kind of swivel, he can turn, and that's why
I realize, oh, I get it. He can't get out
of the cart and walk on his own. He brought
(02:34):
his own golf cart gon golf cart. His club's are
right there, and uh, he's driving on the right side too,
So basically he will turn his chair and that's how
he will hit the golf ball without getting out. Huh okay,
amazing upper body strength. So I'm like, okay, this is interesting.
But he can't bring down and put his ball on
(02:54):
the tee. Probably yeah, he can't put the ball on
the Teeing off.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
At this point where you thinking you would have a
pretty breezy round, I was.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now like okay, and I'm even not making plans in
my head, like, hey, I'll take you back up to
the car if this could be alone. You're saying that
to the handicap, to my wife. So he's so nice though,
and I'm like, this is not bad. Just go tee
the beautiful weather, you tee the ball up for the guy.
This will be fine.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Did you do very far far Did you do the
joke there when asked him, but hey, man, what's your handicap?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, I didn't do that joke. Awful a jerk because
you like to gamble.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
And so if he loses the ball, he just loses
the ball, right like if he gets it into the so.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
One of the others, you guys might go into the
trees to see if you can find my ball. One
of the guys from California is like, not into this
at all. Oh No. The other guy, though, was so
nice and he was actually getting out And so of
the nine holes that my guy Danny played with us, yep,
I probably teed the ball up for him six times,
and the other guy from California, you probably did it
three times. Okay. The other guy just sat in the
cart because he was kind of bickering the whole time.
(04:01):
Nice guy sounds like it. So I'm telling Rocks, I'm like, look,
we just record this. I think this is kind of amazing.
I don't know if we'll ever experienced anything like this. Again,
I've never been asked to do this, so I was like,
see what this sound like. I've got two clips of
audio of me teeing the ball up for Danny. Okay,
here's the first one.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Damn. What do you do when one are your players?
Good guy of why? I said, I tell him, oh.
Speaker 2 (04:26):

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, what do you do when one of your players

Okay, so you Travis Kelsey did. But I'm oh, he
killed a guy all right on the radio. What's the
radio part of this? He was doing an interview on
the radio because he did the thing. Asked me what
I do, and I usually say I work at Low's,
But I went ahead and did the radio thing this time. Yeah,
And when we come back, I will tell you what
(05:30):
I've learned about Danny and his killing of someone, because
he did kill someone back in nineteen seventy one. Wow,

Speaker 2 (06:13):
This kill that this thing's big. They so wrapping up
my story from earlier again. Just playing golf in Colorado
the other day when I was on vacation and they
paired me with a or in my foursome was a
handicapped fella who had a golf court which had a
(06:33):
swivel chair, so he couldn't got out of his golf court,
couldn't walk on his own, but I had to tee
the ball up for him. I'll play the audio the
first time again because something I want you guys to
hear very closely. He's telling a story about doing an
interview a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Damn, what do you do when one of your players
gets out of the line, I said, I tell him
I haven't killed anybody since seventy one. Don't make it today.
So we were just joking on the radio, right, it's
got to go there a little bit more. We'll look
for they're out. Yeah, all right, yeah right here. So
we were just joking around the radio. So next day
(07:08):
I get to share and people go till anybody dan.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
God, that's happened. I'm like, okay, he rocks. I'm went
to the bullet for him again, just kind of have
it ready so hear it. Me teeing the bullet for
Danny again. All right, need to tell you five a drink?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, Let's see where you like it.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Hang on, don't do it la till you give it
now right now, we're that's the spot right here.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, you tell me higher, lower to.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Lower?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Alrighteah?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Know that?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Good luck?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh, let me tell you this guy has been service
that will long time. I was moving it right to
his sweet spot on his driver. A boy, I can't
talk to him after I've already ripped that shot. Not far,
not far. But he wasn't trying to get up on
the green. Like once he hit the ball in the green,
which picked the ball out for him. It's fine, not
a big deal. Soud does he can't take the cart
(08:17):
up there? He can't. He can take the cart kind
of out there. And he was breaking the rules a
few times, but he was a regular apparently, and he'd
kind of put it from off the green and once
it got on the green, it was good pick it up,
so he didn't care. He's like, I don't keep score.
So after he's only doing it going to do nine holes,
and thank god, and nine would have been tough. Nine
more would have been tough on him. He says, if
(08:40):
you guys want to read up about me, my name
is Danny puff Path And I went, okay, all right,
very interested. I mean, I have already blown away. You
killed someone in seventy one. I'm assuming Vietnam, but I
could be wrong. So deil old googling the way home
and check it out Danny puff Path on that pufpaff.
(09:02):
This guy, at age twenty drafted into the Vietnam War
and served in the army. At eight o'clock at night
on May twenty fourth, nineteen seventy one. He it was
they were on a drill to take a sniper out,
very dark in the thick jungle, and I tripped on
a land mine. It blew me up into the air,
(09:24):
and at that time I didn't know it, but I
lost my left leg and heavily damaged my right leg.
Oh the fact that they were able to get a
helicopter to me right then and there saved my life.
So I'm like, I'm thinking the whole time, I was
like kind of war in the back of my mind.
So I didn't press him on it. Kills one to
seventy one, but he brought it up, but I didn't
press him on it.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But what about the guy who's kind of in a
jerk to him? Did you feel bad this guy served
on the country.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
These guys were pretty high roll in California guys. I
think they didn't really care too much about Danny ocause
one of the guys did. Actually, one of the guy's
really nice, so one guy was a patriot. Yeah, which
one guy was a patriot, so saved his life and
all that. Well. He ended up doing a lot of
work and was on a US international ski team for
(10:06):
disabled people. Wow, so Danny loves skiing? Is the renz Hrdlough?
I read something else He was also coaching for the
disabled ski team and he was apparently he went to
the first Disabled Ski Olympics in France. Okay, so cool.
She guys done a lot of cool stuff. They asked
him in this article, why did you take a break
from coaching, and he said, while skiing in nineteen ninety eight,
(10:28):
I was injured. I had a horrific crash and injured
my neck in my back, I did three cartwheels, landing
three times in my head and sustained an internal concussion
that forced me to retire from coaching. Over in my career,
between war and skiing, I've had eighteen broken bones, nine
hundred stitches, and suffered four or five concussions. I really
relate when I read the story about evil and evil.
(10:50):
This guy is an extreme sports nut. Yeah, he's still
out their golfing. I'm telling you, it was a pleasure
to tee the ball up for this man. Oh yeah,
and that is me supported the troops. Yeah, hell yeah, dude,
he's seventy four. Yeah, and he's after all that, he's
still out there golfing. What a beast.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
If you had known the story before, like and you
were playing with him, would you have asked him if
he had ever been to the Vietnam store at Times Square.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well, there was a few things I was thinking about,
really pressive, and you know what, Rocks was pretty good.
She's like, look, some of some of that stuff's traumatic,
so don't you know. But I was like, I don't know,
he's kind of talking a guy. I think I could
dive into this. He's telling his story, but I didn't
know that he killed someone in the war until I
looked it up, you know, until he said his whole name.
But so look, if you're ever out there and they
(11:36):
parry up with the disabled guy, yep, do your best
for him, you know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, dude, I'm proud of you. Great work. I'm glad
you weren't a jerk. Yeah, he took like five minutes Toro.
This is not that much beating. I mean, I'm glad
he didn't and good for him for not you know,
letting that, you know, his injuries keep him from trying
to enjoy the stuff he enjoys.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
What was the temperature? Low seventies? Oh what if it
had been high eighties?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, you know what I mean. As the day went on,
as the round got longer, it did sneak into the eighties,
and it got a little warm at time, a little toasty,
but not bad. Yeah I'm not here, you know. Uh,
it was great. It was great with the Red Rocks.
On my first show at Red Rocks, what'd you see?
I saw TV on the radio opening up for LCD
sound system. Okay, was that the priority of the trip?
Like the man? That was the reason we went. Yeah,
(12:22):
that was the reason we went. And it was a
wonderful time, rent some good old friends. And let's move
on some audio. Okay, so on, pust some audio from
the Broncos broadcast. It's not gonna make sense until I
tell you what the what the graphic is that they're showing.
But let's play the audio first Broncos preseason game here.
So maybe this guy, MICHAEH.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Parsons in a contract that also has some question marks.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Let's call it that. Okay, Now we post the graphic.
The graphic says Micah Parsons on the Edge with Micas
Parsons podcast quote my dream destination Denver. I would love
to play for the Broncos. They already got the best
defense of the league and they have a real chance
at a super Bowl. That's the graphic they're showing while talking.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Wherever he lands, whatever happens, maybe Michael.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Parsons would be you know, a lot of fun to
hang out with. Well, no doubt about that, you'd be
fun to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And everybody get Sean Payton's and grief for saying he
wants to let a Super Bowl high. I guess you
got one of the best defensive ends. Saying Michael's had
a real chance at the Super bowls a man him too.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Well, by the way, Michael Carsons, no playoff.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Games and everything becomes a bigger keva with the Dallas
Cowboys or involved.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, generic talk at the end. So they've just they've
just hit on this graphic that they've posted. So this
guy on the account at Epic Normy Underscore laughing my
ass off, my bait made it to TV as he
had put out a fake tweet and graphic. Oh and
(13:57):
posted it online and it does look like a you know,
his tweet just put it in quotes. So the TV,
the local Broncos TV broadcasts get behind it and they
spruce it up. Looks like a good TV graphic. Micah's
face on there, and they're just talking about it like
it's something that actually happens. It's embarrassing. It's unbelievable. This
(14:18):
guy and his tweet did not link anything. Yeah, he
did not. Even he fake tagged Micah like he didn't
actually tag Micah on it. He faked tagged Michael like
at Micah misspelled his name, parsons like it's not he
aied Micah into a Denver Broncos uniform. It's like, No,
Mikey did not say all that stuff. Mike has not
(14:38):
said anything since he pissed Jerry off with the dual
interview with Trayvon Diggs. But there they are on the
Broncos broadcaster is having a good time. I'd love to
have Mikeaeh here, would be wonderful. Had all sacked.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Man, you can't take anything off of Twitter and run
with it. They should know better than that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Elf anywhere any platform. I was talking to him my
good friend John Mishoda from The Athletic you guys known
Machete Machoda father John Mishoda from the One Star Cowboys podcast,
and he was like, you know, part of my job
moving forward, like half of it is that now too,
just to verifying what's what and what's not. It's brutal,
(15:19):
and you know, it's just what it is. It's the
world we live in now. And when people like epic
Normy underscore I think it's funny, and then someone does it,
it just reinforces other people to try it.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
More So, how how soon would Micah have to get
signed and still play in the season opener?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think day before the game, day before the game
they play either way, even if they don't sign him,
I think he'll play. O.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You think he'll even if he's not signed, he'll play
because they're paying him twenty four million this year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You think all of a sudden that back will be
because he's going to sit out a game. I mean
they had trouble in year one taking him out of
preseason games without freaking out and it's killing him. The
body language has been terrible for him at practice and
like he's just like it's not good. It could be
good vibes, and he could be working and we can
all think that we're moving towards maybe competing. But Jerry's
(16:09):
got to do a bit and it can happen this
week because his documentary drops tomorrow on Netflix, and signing
Michael Parsons would cover up the heat that that's gonna
get for the next five days.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No doubt we will be talking about that tomorrow as well.
Shout out to Dan in Colorado, thank you for your service.
I'll never forget the time that KT got to tee
up the ball for his favorite golfer. He bent down,
He looked up and there was Scottie. He looked him
dead in his eye and he said, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You've lost a step. You need a little more energy.
The low T center is something you should maybe try out.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, that that helped everyone quite a bit. Christina, are
you gonna stick around? Play some music?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
All right? Christina's next here on the Eagle. Here you
going well, So I'm gonna get some cheeks after this
horse power joint. God bless Jesus,
Cobby.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oh the cobbe m I news you gim I news control.
You have a what's in the tobe? Hopefully is living
what Coby? Yeah? Uh went to Colorado last week. Good
(00:27):
to get out of here in August if you can, right, friends,
got got a little house, little house, a nice house
out there in the winter Park area, i'll say, which
is about an hour and a half west of Denver.
So we had uh one of my wife's cousins graduated
college at Tech uh and I had to go to
(00:49):
that on Saturday. So I was like, just might as
well just make make the drive. You're half do that,
but you're you're kind of halfway there, living on a prayer.
So did that. Stayed out till three am and Lubwick.
That was good, and then you just drive on up

(01:10):
I wanted to do though is clearly I have played
golf and you don't have to rent clubs. My golf
clubs are in my trunk. This is great, but I
always ask to get a tea time alone, like I

she doesn't mind like just looking at her phone or
(01:31):
reading a book and just kind of getting outdoors and

it's seventy degrees.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
If you're in a nice location, I can convince the

the weather's nice.
Speaker 2 (01:45):

Speaker 3 (02:58):
At this point where you thinking you would have a

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now like okay, and I'm even not making plans in
my head, like, hey, I'll take you back up to
the car if this could be alone. You're saying that
to the handicap, to my wife. So he's so nice though,
and I'm like, this is not bad. Just go tee
the beautiful weather, you tee the ball up for the guy.
This will be fine.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Did you do very far far Did you do the

Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, I didn't do that joke. Awful a jerk because

hear very closely. He's telling a story about doing an
interview a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Damn, what do you do when one of your players
gets out of the line, I said, I tell him
I haven't killed anybody since seventy one. Don't make it today.
So we were just joking on the radio, right, it's
got to go there a little bit more. We'll look
for they're out. Yeah, all right, yeah right here. So
we were just joking around the radio. So next day
(07:08):
I get to share and people go till anybody dan.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
God, that's happened. I'm like, okay, he rocks. I'm went
to the bullet for him again, just kind of have
it ready so hear it. Me teeing the bullet for
Danny again. All right, need to tell you five a drink?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, Let's see where you like it.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Hang on, don't do it la till you give it
now right now, we're that's the spot right here.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, you tell me higher, lower to.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Lower?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Alrighteah?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Know that?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Good luck?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh, let me tell you this guy has been service
that will long time. I was moving it right to
his sweet spot on his driver. A boy, I can't
talk to him after I've already ripped that shot. Not far,
not far. But he wasn't trying to get up on
the green. Like once he hit the ball in the green,
which picked the ball out for him. It's fine, not
a big deal. Soud does he can't take the cart
(08:17):
up there? He can't. He can take the cart kind
of out there. And he was breaking the rules a
few times, but he was a regular apparently, and he'd
kind of put it from off the green and once
it got on the green, it was good pick it up,
so he didn't care. He's like, I don't keep score.
So after he's only doing it going to do nine holes,
and thank god, and nine would have been tough. Nine
more would have been tough on him. He says, if
(08:40):
you guys want to read up about me, my name
is Danny puff Path And I went, okay, all right,
very interested. I mean, I have already blown away. You
killed someone in seventy one. I'm assuming Vietnam, but I
could be wrong. So deil old googling the way home
and check it out Danny puff Path on that pufpaff.
(09:02):
This guy, at age twenty drafted into the Vietnam War
and served in the army. At eight o'clock at night
on May twenty fourth, nineteen seventy one. He it was
they were on a drill to take a sniper out,
very dark in the thick jungle, and I tripped on
a land mine. It blew me up into the air,
(09:24):
and at that time I didn't know it, but I
lost my left leg and heavily damaged my right leg.
Oh the fact that they were able to get a
helicopter to me right then and there saved my life.
So I'm like, I'm thinking the whole time, I was
like kind of war in the back of my mind.
So I didn't press him on it. Kills one to
seventy one, but he brought it up, but I didn't
press him on it.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But what about the guy who's kind of in a
jerk to him? Did you feel bad this guy served
on the country.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
These guys were pretty high roll in California guys. I
think they didn't really care too much about Danny ocause
one of the guys did. Actually, one of the guy's
really nice, so one guy was a patriot. Yeah, which
one guy was a patriot, so saved his life and
all that. Well. He ended up doing a lot of
work and was on a US international ski team for
(10:06):
disabled people. Wow, so Danny loves skiing? Is the renz Hrdlough?
I read something else He was also coaching for the
disabled ski team and he was apparently he went to
the first Disabled Ski Olympics in France. Okay, so cool.
She guys done a lot of cool stuff. They asked
him in this article, why did you take a break
from coaching, and he said, while skiing in nineteen ninety eight,
(10:28):
I was injured. I had a horrific crash and injured
my neck in my back, I did three cartwheels, landing
three times in my head and sustained an internal concussion
that forced me to retire from coaching. Over in my career,
between war and skiing, I've had eighteen broken bones, nine
hundred stitches, and suffered four or five concussions. I really
relate when I read the story about evil and evil.
(10:50):
This guy is an extreme sports nut. Yeah, he's still
out their golfing. I'm telling you, it was a pleasure
to tee the ball up for this man. Oh yeah,
and that is me supported the troops. Yeah, hell yeah, dude,
he's seventy four. Yeah, and he's after all that, he's
still out there golfing. What a beast.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
If you had known the story before, like and you
were playing with him, would you have asked him if
he had ever been to the Vietnam store at Times Square.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well, there was a few things I was thinking about,
really pressive, and you know what, Rocks was pretty good.
She's like, look, some of some of that stuff's traumatic,
so don't you know. But I was like, I don't know,
he's kind of talking a guy. I think I could
dive into this. He's telling his story, but I didn't
know that he killed someone in the war until I
looked it up, you know, until he said his whole name.
But so look, if you're ever out there and they
(11:36):
parry up with the disabled guy, yep, do your best
for him, you know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, dude, I'm proud of you. Great work. I'm glad
you weren't a jerk. Yeah, he took like five minutes Toro.
This is not that much beating. I mean, I'm glad
he didn't and good for him for not you know,
letting that, you know, his injuries keep him from trying
to enjoy the stuff he enjoys.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
What was the temperature? Low seventies? Oh what if it
had been high eighties?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, you know what I mean. As the day went on,
as the round got longer, it did sneak into the eighties,
and it got a little warm at time, a little toasty,
but not bad. Yeah I'm not here, you know. Uh,
it was great. It was great with the Red Rocks.
On my first show at Red Rocks, what'd you see?
I saw TV on the radio opening up for LCD
sound system. Okay, was that the priority of the trip?
Like the man? That was the reason we went. Yeah,
(12:22):
that was the reason we went. And it was a
wonderful time, rent some good old friends. And let's move
on some audio. Okay, so on, pust some audio from
the Broncos broadcast. It's not gonna make sense until I
tell you what the what the graphic is that they're showing.
But let's play the audio first Broncos preseason game here.
So maybe this guy, MICHAEH.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Parsons in a contract that also has some question marks.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Let's call it that. Okay, Now we post the graphic.
The graphic says Micah Parsons on the Edge with Micas
Parsons podcast quote my dream destination Denver. I would love
to play for the Broncos. They already got the best
defense of the league and they have a real chance
at a super Bowl. That's the graphic they're showing while talking.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Wherever he lands, whatever happens, maybe Michael.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Parsons would be you know, a lot of fun to
hang out with. Well, no doubt about that, you'd be
fun to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And everybody get Sean Payton's and grief for saying he
wants to let a Super Bowl high. I guess you
got one of the best defensive ends. Saying Michael's had
a real chance at the Super bowls a man him too.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Well, by the way, Michael Carsons, no playoff.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Games and everything becomes a bigger keva with the Dallas
Cowboys or involved.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, generic talk at the end. So they've just they've
just hit on this graphic that they've posted. So this
guy on the account at Epic Normy Underscore laughing my
ass off, my bait made it to TV as he
had put out a fake tweet and graphic. Oh and
(13:57):
posted it online and it does look like a you know,
his tweet just put it in quotes. So the TV,
the local Broncos TV broadcasts get behind it and they
spruce it up. Looks like a good TV graphic. Micah's
face on there, and they're just talking about it like
it's something that actually happens. It's embarrassing. It's unbelievable. This
(14:18):
guy and his tweet did not link anything. Yeah, he
did not. Even he fake tagged Micah like he didn't
actually tag Micah on it. He faked tagged Michael like
at Micah misspelled his name, parsons like it's not he
aied Micah into a Denver Broncos uniform. It's like, No,
Mikey did not say all that stuff. Mike has not
(14:38):
said anything since he pissed Jerry off with the dual
interview with Trayvon Diggs. But there they are on the
Broncos broadcaster is having a good time. I'd love to
have Mikeaeh here, would be wonderful. Had all sacked.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Man, you can't take anything off of Twitter and run
with it. They should know better than that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Elf anywhere any platform. I was talking to him my
good friend John Mishoda from The Athletic you guys known
Machete Machoda father John Mishoda from the One Star Cowboys podcast,
and he was like, you know, part of my job
moving forward, like half of it is that now too,
just to verifying what's what and what's not. It's brutal,
(15:19):
and you know, it's just what it is. It's the
world we live in now. And when people like epic
Normy underscore I think it's funny, and then someone does it,
it just reinforces other people to try it.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
More So, how how soon would Micah have to get
signed and still play in the season opener?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think day before the game, day before the game
they play either way, even if they don't sign him,
I think he'll play. O.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You think he'll even if he's not signed, he'll play
because they're paying him twenty four million this year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You think all of a sudden that back will be
because he's going to sit out a game. I mean
they had trouble in year one taking him out of
preseason games without freaking out and it's killing him. The
body language has been terrible for him at practice and
like he's just like it's not good. It could be
good vibes, and he could be working and we can
all think that we're moving towards maybe competing. But Jerry's
(16:09):
got to do a bit and it can happen this
week because his documentary drops tomorrow on Netflix, and signing
Michael Parsons would cover up the heat that that's gonna
get for the next five days.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No doubt we will be talking about that tomorrow as well.
Shout out to Dan in Colorado, thank you for your service.
I'll never forget the time that KT got to tee
up the ball for his favorite golfer. He bent down,
He looked up and there was Scottie. He looked him
dead in his eye and he said, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You've lost a step. You need a little more energy.
The low T center is something you should maybe try out.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, that that helped everyone quite a bit. Christina, are
you gonna stick around? Play some music?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
All right? Christina's next here on the Eagle. Here you
going well, So I'm gonna get some cheeks after this
horse power joint. God bless Jesus,
