Episode Transcript
Coming up in like fifteen minutes, We're gonna do a
little Cowboys kerosene. There's a lot to get into with
the Dallas Cowboys. We got some goods for you. But
right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
World news.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
World news, world news, world news, world news, world news.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That was good man, world news. Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Jared Shaw is a thirty four year old dude from Dallas.
But he plays for an Indonesian basketball league, or should
I say played, he has been banned. I think I
could make an Indonesian basketball league.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I like that. Let's give that a shot.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I haven't played in ten years, cardio and not hold
up well, I would just take the stairs.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I could.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I could be a six man, yeah, and just play
short stints. Yep, come in, bury a bucket immediately tab out.
That's not a useful sixth man, that's a ninth man.
It depends on the scenario. Six man needs to get
heavy minutes, not the first guy off the bench. And
I drained three and then to take a breather.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Whenever I hear the word Indonesia, what rap lyric do
you think I think of coming out smell it like Indonesia? Okay,
I don't know why every time.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So, this guy got arrested last week. Police rated at
his apartment. They found one hundred and thirty two pieces
of cannabis candies yum. So the airport there in Indonesia
got a tip that he had received a suspicious package
from Thailand. In Indonesia does not do well with drugs.
(01:32):
In fact, he faces up to life sentence or the
death building if found guilty. And they have done the
firing squad thing too, which we've talked about the other
day at South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So they're trying not to have any drugs ever in
their country.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Pretty much pretty much. Now, he had eight hundred and
sixty nine grams. I don't know how much that would
mean or what that would do to you become many.
Eight hundred and sixty nine grams.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's a lot of grams.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, that's one hundred and thirty two candies.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Though, Like, was he getting it for his entire stay?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
He said actually, he said that he was like gonna
try to get some to some of the players in
the league at the club, his team, yet they fired him.
He was just trying to get him some He's just
trying to get him some edibles and they fired him,
and then the league banned him, and literally he could
die for this.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's distributing drugs. Technically he could die for this. But
I do think this is the kind of thing. This
is the reason you have an embassy. Okay, you know
what I'm saying. In other words, step in.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They'll just step in and they'll be like, look, charge him,
don't do it for life, definitely don't kill him. And
then they're like, what's in it for me? And they're like,
Trump will give you the plane that Cutter's given him,
and you can have that plane.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So, I mean, this guy's got to be the dumbest
person in the world to go to a country that
you know has a firing squad for people who have drugs,
and then have enough drugs to deal drugs. I think
like too.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He may not have known all the details, but I
do know that if you're going over there, you're told, dude,
don't have drugs.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
He's been playing there since twenty twenty two, so he
said three years to get acclimated.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, okay, there's ex And did you not see the
Britney grinder thing, Like don't we know now? Cripple check, right,
this is why I stay here.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I just stay here, like you're just not familiar with
the laws in other places.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, this is to save vacation money. Just show this
to your wife. I'll do the same thing. Show it
to cats, say hey, like, this is why we're not
going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, my daughter wants to go overseas and I'm without.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Us brother cheaper to fly overseas than find somewhere in
a MIRRORA. No, I know, but my daughter's only like
five years old. Yeah, she's older than that now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I mean, I treat her like an adult until she
says she wants to go overseas. I'm like, I think
you're way too young you want her to Okay, So
now finally you're to watch Taken.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh you're finally ready to Okay, you're finally ready, And
here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I'm ready for her to watch Good luck, honey. Have
you ever heard of Scared Straight?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Uh? So I'm getting ready to go to Turks and Caicos? Hell? Yeah,
how dangerous is that? It's gotten more dangerous over you
guys screwed. Last time I went on a big family vacation,
you guys did stories about helicopter crashes where I'm going,
ants being blowing fire, ants blowing onto people on the beach.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's no dude, Turks and caicos is amazing. I just
wouldn't go there now, all right, coming up next Cowboys Kerosene.
Let's get to the latest Cowboys news right here on
the Eagle.
