Speaker 1 (02:37):
I said, Rob, wait until I kiss this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
People am a woman. People don't know the lyrics.

The way, You're welcome. You know what I mean? Get
you wait. Hey, I'm not here every day, but it's
not my first day. Okay, it's ai Why would you
do that to me? Alex?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I can't wait to kiss that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I mean that was right there, seventy seven right down
the middle. I almost missed because it took too long
to get to the plate. All right, what did they say, Rob?
You would do that to me after all these years?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Hey man, listen Alex, erase that, know, man, we don't
need that.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, I like that.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Four minutes into the new year, the first drop and
then the second drop.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Erase that.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
And you know what, Rob, I think we'll have to
do a best of last year of all the drops
up put together.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
My goodness, we'll do that. We got too many of them.
You know what, there's another song real quick, secret agent man?
Do you know that song? Can you find that?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Can you? Can you find that? Real quick?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Let me find it?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
And people were singing the lyrics to this song wrong forever?
Oh what did they say, Rob? You gotta hear it first?
You got it?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Weis's back up to bed after that grand slam in
the first Parker is laying it right, man.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But what people were singing was they called him secret
Asian man. So people will request the song you know
to DJs? Can you play Secret eight. Can you play
Secret Asian Man? I will say this banger, but just
listen to the lyrics lead a life of danger now
(04:35):
here it comes, Here we go, Here we go. I
will say it's pretty close.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I will say he does.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Not quite enunciate the ah a git, so people would
think with the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's why I brought up the Jimmy Hendricks lyrics because
people will get it wrong and they will be singing
it forever. Secret Asian Man. All right, it is the
Odd Couple on this New Year's Day. Let's welcome in
the Odd Couple crew. We would be able to do
this five radio program without him. Alex is our engineer
behind the curtain.
Speaker 3 (05:07):

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay? No, Elijah with Rob.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
G came in and produced this morning when I did
Colin Show, and then of course he could have stuck around.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
To do this show.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
No disrespect Ian, but I'm just saying, you know, Rob
G has any chance.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
To get off.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
He's off company man he is.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You know right now the three here that are filling
in once he's not filling in. But everybody, this is
a Saturday right here, Saturday eight to eleven, five to
eight Pacific time.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Is it really?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
This is the brain trust right here, Martin Monse, I went.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
To you this weekend.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Let's get it.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Actually the crew.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Right now kick Rob out of head Ian is your producer.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, because I see him do your social media videos.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So I'm not I'm not gonna say anything.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I'm just asking. I'm good. All right, here we go, Martin.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You're a huge college football fan. Okay, you went to
Michigan the whole nine yards. I said this from Jump
Street and I'm gonna stick by it. I didn't like
when they expanded the college football playoffs because I didn't
think there were enough teams that really could vie for
the national championship. We had seen prior to that, blowout
(06:33):
after blowout, all double digit losses, all that saying are
there really at that? This was when they had four teams,
like is there really enough? We didn't see like the
quality type of games I'd like to see. And here
we are today New Year's Dame, and we're watching games
college football games that are terrible, just terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It was terrible. Uh in game one, what was that?
Twenty three nothing?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The first game today Oregon be testing text twenty three.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Nothing, and today the score was twenty four to nothing.
The final was thirty eight to three.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Games actually still still going on. I thought it was over,
I mean.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Left, Okay, it's currently thirty eight to three.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, it's been over since about you know, thirty eight
to three seven. And I'm not sitting here.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't want to act like I'm sitting here and
I'm going to rearrange the sports world and make a change.
And everybody's going to say Rob is a genius and
all that, But I'm convinced more than ever that this
has been a mistake and for them to even expand
this field even further is going to be even more
of a mistake than just going back to trying to
(07:47):
get the best four schools. Alabama lost three games, Okay,
you want to put them in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They get their butts kicked by Indiana.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And when I was doing local radio in Detroit, when
Michigan lost its second game of the year, Martin college
football talk stopped national championship, you know, conversation stopped because
that was it. Now it would turn to beating Ohio
State at the end of the year, right after you
lose your second salvage the year, right after you lose
(08:21):
your second game, and now teams with multiple losses to
three losses are making it in because you need to
fill these spots.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I'm against it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I think it's terrible for college football and ian real
quick and then Martin, you jump in reach some of
the scores from last year because we just we're getting
started here a bad day twenty eight twenty three to
nothing and a thirty eight to three game.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Those are the two games we got. The losing teams
have three points.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Right, So if we go back to last year. In
last year's playoffs, Clemson versus Texas, Texas won thirty eight
twenty four, so to score win there. Ohio State beat
Tennessee forty two to seventeen, so complete blowout.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
In that one. Penn State beat SMU thirty eight to ten.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Another blowout.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
Notre Dame beat Indiana twenty seven to seventeen, so double
digit win there, and then in the second round, Notre
Dame beat Georgia twenty three to ten, Penn State beat
Boise State thirty one to fourteen, Ohio State beat Oregon
forty one to twenty one.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm just Martin. I'm looking at the games.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
All of them were double digits, all of them, like,
is that what we want to see for your co
to determine who's going to be the national championship. I'm
out on this format. Too many teams, not enough quality football.
I think college football loses well.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
If you're out on this format, then you're out on
every playoff format that has ever existed. It doesn't take
much longer. Go back to one year ago. You read
all those double digit scores in the NFL. The same
year the Texans beat the Chargers by two scores for
Round raven, Steelers Bills over the Broncos, right Rams over
the Vikings, and the Eagles beat the Packers.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
All of those games on.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Super Wildcard Weekend, all six five of them were.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Double digit victory. You gave me wild Card Weekend, right, Okay,
so hold on give me.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'll give it to you because that's what this is
supposed That's what the first round of the playoffs is.
I get that they have teams that have buyed into this.
But your point of can we get there's not enough
teams to compete for a national championship, so on and
so forth. There's not enough teams to compete for a
Super Bowl or an NBA finals run. Every single year
we fill out the playoffs. Why do we do it?
(10:39):
Because this is the only way to ensure the best
four teams have the opportunity to do it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No, it's not because okay, go ahead, Well how would
you figure it out? Sad?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm just saying, there aren't that many teams, and all
you do is you continue to water down. The NBA
is wrong, The National Hockey League is wrong, the NFL
is wrong when you put teams in that aren't even
barely five hundred, so you have water down the pool.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'm not gonna get to that.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
So that's playoffs in general then, because that's fall wasn't
there to where we don't have like like now, we're
getting to the point where just to me, with smaller amounts,
with more teams getting involved, how do you win today?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
If you're a college football fan, I'm just asking you.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You watched two.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Games on on on New Year's Day and neither one
was competitive.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm just saying this is the norm. For me.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
There have been plenty of exciting, unbelievable NFL playoff games.
You could give me this the little UH first round,
which is the clue of what we're doing here. But
this is the last This is the last two years
of the college football. I could give you plenty of
great NFL games, and not all of them. Now I'm
telling you, I agree with you that there are too
(11:53):
many teams because you're you have a couple of scenarios
where UH Tampa Bay is lost seven of its last
eight and can make the playoffs. Something's wrong with a
system where a team can lose that many games and
yet win the division and make the playoffs. They shouldn't
be in the playoffs, but they could wind up if
they went on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
All I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is, as a college football fan, how does this feel good?
And are you cool with it that they're gonna not
only have twelve but expand this to even more. The
college basketball is the same thing. Sixty four, Let's go
to sixty eight. Let's go to all these schools, and yes,
you'll have an occasional upset in the first round or
(12:36):
occasional upset, but it's not most.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Of the game. Most college football.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Fin absolutely should be a fan of this individually for
your team. Sure, the viewing experience of the first round
mimics the first round of every other playoffs that we
have in every other sport, where the team go figure
that has the higher seed normally beats the living hell
out of the team that's the lower seed, because that's
how the regular season drafted it out to be. That's
why the regular season exists for playoff seeding, so that
(13:04):
it's most of you.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Did you enjoyed out? Did you enjoy it? As a
college football fan?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
What I would want to have happened, not without any
question of a doubt, is my team that I feel
as a as a legitimate opportunity to win a national championship,
have an opportunity to do so, which was ripped from
all college football fans up until a eight twelve team playoff.
Ask question, and I'm telling you you enjoyed this. I'm
not a college football I.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Am an Indiana. I'm not Indiana Indiana.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Are you interested in hearing but not college not as
not as an Indiana fan, or not as.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
As a fan of any team that has an opportunity.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
To win a national champions I would ask, I absolutely
am a fan of that's not I just want you
to answer my question as a college football fan.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yes, I like the playoffs. Okay, so yeah, I've said
it a million different ways. No, I'll tell you why
I like it this way.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
If I'm an Indiana fan, I could go twelve and
zero for four years in a row, They'll never put
me in the BCS Championship Bowl. And like, if you
lose the Big Ten Championship game, Indiana would be banished
the same way that BYU was in years past.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
They would have never have been in this position if
there were no playoffs.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Finright eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine to nine, six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Are you like Martin Weiss? You loved New Year's Day
college football? How do we figure it out otherwise?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
College football? I'm just telling you what they have now
doesn't work. So what you I mean you want to
go back to I want to go back to four.
I want to go back to four team. The best
four teams play. That's all I want. And if that's
a blowout, then We'll have to live with it, but
I don't want twelve teams and double digits and teams
can't score. At one point today it was forty seven
(14:52):
to nothing in the score of the two winning teams
and the other and the.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Two losing teams.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
That's the football we want to watch seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. If you love this, call in, let
us know. If you didn't, call in, and let us know.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
You and your bride? How was that? It was good?
It was good? We uh watched.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
The best part about the East the West Coast New
Year's is you can get it done at nine fifteen.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, but that kind of takes this thing out of it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
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.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Sitting there and kind of life. I think if you're
at a party, it's a little different.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
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 (17:32):
No, they got to go, and they still have their replay,
but it's the repund.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I know it says live in the Corner, but it's
a replay. I know it's that.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But uh, we weren't at a party or anything. So
we tuned in around eight thirty.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Or so, and then you were good at nine. Diana Ross.
Wait a minute, Diana Ross is eighty one. Did you
see her last night? Yes, she's eighty one. Are you
trying to say that you were impressed? Because I was. No.
I was just like, how how was she eighty one
up on that stage? Was that her singing? Was that?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I mean I imagine they had some they probably had some
seeds singing enhanced devices around as well, you know what.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And I took my cap as well, but she was
in you know.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Good shape, eighty one years old, Sasha ain't around in
the red dress. I was impressed, I will say this.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I was happy that I was able to experience my
New Year's at nine fifteen local time here on the
West Coast.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Because here you're an old man already, you're in your thirties.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I had started my twenty twenty six right at the
actual start of twenty twenty six. Looking at Russell Wilson
on TV, I do to feel like, why what are
we doing here?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I was like, why, Like Ryan Seacrest, wasn't it more
about his wife than Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
You're kind of making my point what he didn't belong
up to?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Just say it. He just started his own right, That's
why he was up there. Right. Don't you think he
won a Super Bowl? My god, I'm making like he's
like nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I'm not saying he's nothing. I'm just saying he wasn't
performing at New Year's rocketing.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I get it. But they go together, they're they're a pair.
They're a pair. I mean, yeah, sure, all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
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.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Who trades a player of that caliber.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But apparently it happens Luca got traded from Dallas and
Micah turned off Your Micah, the real name of his podcast.
I think he stopped doing the podcast once he went
to Greenvie.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I'm gonna look it up to see if he did
or not, because I know that making a lot of noise,
but I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Not sure if it actually stopped.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I think they said it stopped, and You're right, it
did stop making noise for sure, so I'm wondering if
he was even continual.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
But anyway, Uh, today.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
He went on social media and Ian, you could 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.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Right, So we'll say I think it started with this
one tweet where he was quote tweeting a tweet that
was referencing Trayvon Diggs being being released by the Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's kind of trying to rip Jerry Jones, correct, right,
and it was showing a bunch of pro football focused
numbers from digs and stuff, and Parsons said, I feel like,
what point is there in trying to publicly disrespect someone.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
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 what I'm talking about.
Trayvon Digg. Well, let me let me say one thing
for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
When a trade is made or somebody's released or whatever,
reporters will ask why did this happen and what happened,
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 8 (21:13):
Like yeah, I've the grades aren't pretty right now, at
least to the tweet thing.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But 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 3 (21:35):
No, that's not what happens.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Right, Only at a funeral is everybody you know what
that he was a good host, but a really a
better man. They don't do that at trades, just at funerals.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Right, you get my point. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It just doesn't make sense that he doesn't understand that
this is why, 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 3 (22:07):
But okay, and then so that was one right.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
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 that sent
(22:30):
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 (22:42):
And that's why this made 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.
Like that's an ego thing, right, I think that he
(23:05):
was like seriously, couldn't believe it, Like, oh no, they're
going to pay me my money.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm gonna act like a fool. I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
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,
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 route awakening. You saw the same
(23:35):
thing with Luca. Luca was that shocked. That's shocked.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
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. And especially when you consider the way
that Jerry Jones when through this, like he kind of
(24:02):
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 all, I do
not have this massive problem with I really don't.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
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 3 (24:22):
Call my agent or.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
In the conversation or even that you know what, if
it's like an agent put this in perspective for me.
After hearing my take on the Mulagetta thing, he said,
I if that was my client, what I would have
done was said, okay, you go talk to him and
just walk out the room and tell me everything. He said,
I'll tell you what to say back.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Because if the owner is the one that's in the.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Way, I work for you, I work for the player,
right right, and so I think ultimately to that point,
Michael Parson's never wanted to leave Dallas.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, oh, there's no doubt. And I do not think that.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I don't think for up until the eleventh hour, I
think Jerry Jones wanted Michael Partsers to be a cowboy
right up until the eleventh hour. I really do, up
until 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 3 (25:15):
But if you would, if I think it, they were.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
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
what another thing that finally Jerry realized, I'm going to
(25:38):
be hamstrung with these three players because Dak is paid
so much money of your cap, you know, it's harder.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
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.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
But you can't.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
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 Michael Parsons
never thought he was not going to be a cowboy.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
He didn't. And I also think that there's something to.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
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 Parsons,
that were Super Bowl favorites and so on. But you
look at that division, they're not winning it. They're not
(26:36):
even in first place in that that division is wrapped up.
Before and even before Micah got hurt, they still weren't right.
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 a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
This team is one of the best teams in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Weekend week was not the case for the Packers and
has never been the case for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
They to me, he's switched one spot to.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Another, forty seven million more dollars and forty seven degrees
colder per every winter, and a place you.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
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. You
(27:32):
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 foe.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
And did you find out that he did stop his
podcast right.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, it looks like the most recent episode is back
from when he did ten months ago.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You know, that came out there, and.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
That was good because I think that at that point
that hain'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 3 (28:16):
You're not in it? You know, have a reaction to that.
You don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
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 (28:30):
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
what 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,
(28:51):
like you know, like, why are you I'm not saying like,
I was fine with the laughing at eber Flush's comment.
I found it funny as well. Yeah, no kidding, trading
me major defense worse right, But then they keep on
if that was just like you know, we were talking.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
About him earlier, Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Russell Wilson every so often he had a remark, tweeted
something Sean Payton was. I forget the exact details, but
Sean Payton wasn't painted in the best light.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And Russell Wilson said.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Oh, who would have seen this coming or something along
those lines, 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 do it continually time and time again, you're
not just reminding people to it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
You're showing people. At least people are going to assume
that you got something wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
With it, right, And that's where we are with Micah
Parsons and just just the the infatuation obsession is that
the right word.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
With Dallas, he.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Feels like he's he's hurt that he's not there, even
though like it's nothing to do with but they're out
of the playoffs, and I know he's heard and he
couldn't play anyway at this point eight seven seven ninety
nine On Five eight seven seven nine nine six sixty
three sixty nine. You got a problem Micah Parsons tweeting
(30:07):
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 stop with the podcast,
don't you think. I mean, he was doing it with
the Cowboys a whole time, and when they it just
feels like last.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Update is 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 as of this why the podcast,
but it is notable. That's something that we talked about
when he was doing this show every Wednesday for two years.
(30:50):
There was an extra Cowboys topic just in the sports
war because he because he said something all right.

look back. And I know Rob Parker is a movie fascan.
He showed me his itinerary. He goes to the movie
theaters probably every other weekend. I don't know how you
(32:41):
have time.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
You know what. I'm actually embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Uh oh, didn't see a movie.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
You didn't see a movie this year at all, not
even wrong Raw, not even one that didn't come out
this year, but a new movie for you? No, you
wanted the craziest stam MONTI, Rob, When was the last
time you sat down and watched an actual television show?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I'm talking about like a rug week schedule? Yeah, television show?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
You ready. I'm embarrassed. Seinfelt and Seiinnfelt went off in
what year was that? Ninety two? That was the last
time you said, I got to be home Wednesday at eight.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Thursday night, Thursday, whatever day it ended, May fourteenth, nineteen
ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Ninety eight. Okay, I feel better. Okay, I wasn't even
born for another two years. Oh my woh crazy. All right,
you guys, you guys have watched movie.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
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 (33:38):
And why? Well? I have two qualifiers. Last year now twenty.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Twenty five, it was crazier. COVID was six years ago.
That's insane. It's insane.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
That's the way calendars work, It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
I have to say BC now like before COVID.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So I think my my number one movie was Sinners
with the although we got that, yeah, but I'll tell.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
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.
If you haven't seen it yet and you still got
married after that watching that.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Show, listen, it wasn't all her fault. Actually think I
watched it after I got married.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But that's the last show that I've seen that had
me thinking like, do I really want to stay up
on another episode?
Speaker 3 (34:26):
The answer was yes, I did, and I did.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I like almost misworked the next day.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
All right, So for my favorite movie, I think of
the year, I'm a big horror movie and I really
liked Sinners was good, which I really liked horror movie horrors.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That's the best voice in radio, best voice and radio.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Bring her Back?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's this is that's a TV show. No, it is
a movie, and it's a scary movie. It is uncomfortable.
You know, I'm not watching. So bring her Back really
really good.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
And when it comes to the TV show, also a
scary one.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Did you watch Welcome to Darry yet?
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Oh my gosh, you getting two for two with me?
Oh my goodness, Welcome to Darry You're so good.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's better than the movies.

It was a good year for me.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
I still haven't seen Marty Supreme, which everyone says is
like maybe the movie of the year, but 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 5 (35:48):
I don't think that was scary.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I'm with you.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
But it's billed as a horror, so I thought that
might have been.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it that, Rob, Like.
Speaker 9 (35:55):
If you're gonna see one movie this year, I mean
like Sinners, Weapons or one Battle after an.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Okay, 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 3 (36:09):
And okay with that, Okay, I.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Think you know.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I don't like the blood and guts like that.

raving about this movie.

Didn't Punky Pig date her? Oh that was Petunia?
