Rich mid Week or major? The biggest stories in the
world of sports and pop culture. We let you decide.
We go over them. Are they midweek or major? And

(01:11):
should you be offended? Should you be offended?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Offended?

Speaker 6 (01:15):
Let's say there's a big game in your city, and

you offended? When your buddies are passing through and they
don't acknowledge you. There's so much to get to. But

Speaker 3 (01:57):
They're cool and comfy. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
He's wearing a six Yeah, yeah, definitely a comfy track
shoe for sure. So big shoes to fill, but always
fun to be here. Thank you guys so much. If
you want to call and get involved this eight seven
seven for the Herd eight seven seven four eight four
three four three seven eight seven seven for the Herd
again at Covino and rich if you want to see
our punchable faces and especially Riches, and I got to

(02:22):
start off by saying, do we all have the same
I'm putting it out there. Okay, I could be by myself,
but do we all have the same sort of thing?
He's about to wives, He's about to be vulnerable. Yes,
our wives and girlfriends say things to you, like when
you wake up in the morning, make sure you put
this on your face. First, put this on, and then
use this cream when you go to bed, But use

(02:44):
it because it's gonna expire, since I want you to
use it. Does everybody sort of deal with that sort
of thing? And are you like the reluctant guy who's like, man,
don't do that sort of thing. I I'll back you
up because I care about that stuff. So if my
wife's like, baby, use this skincare stuff, it's good, dude.
I'm getting older. I don't want to look old. But
there I guarantee there's lots of guys listening to the

(03:04):
Herd right now. Then I'll probably never used moisturizer. But
my dad, my dad is one of those anti My
brother in law, he's one of those anti. Like I
don't use lotion on my face because I'm a man.
My dad washed his face with that gritty sandpaper soap.
Do you know what people use that body shop?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, my dad used that to wash his face because
he's a real man.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
So anyway, last night, right, my girlfriend's like, same exact conversation.
You see that over there, that's the vitamin C. You're
supposed to see the serum. I'm like, yeah, yeah, make
sure you use that. You gotta use that in the morning, okay,
because I don't want it to go bad and I
want you to use that.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
And I'm like all right, fine.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
And then there's a part of me too that's like,
well if I don't use it, she's gonna notice I
be serious. Is that the faint citrus smell in the
studio right now, dude? And here's the thing. I smell
burnt rubber.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
What she failed to tell me is that when you
put it on, it smells so much like chemicals and
like this, oh dude, it's burning my eyes right now
as we speak. So if you guys smell burnt rubber
or burning skin, or if my skin starts to melt
like the dude from Raiders of the Lost Arc, just
know it's because I put the stuff on my face

(04:16):
and it smells so bad it's going up my nose
the whole time, sort of ruining my whole vige.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, but it took five years off. You look like
you're in your thirties.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Look at me, I'm glowing. My eyes are burning and watery,
but yeah, I'm glowing now. But I think a lot
of guys can relate to what you said. WIFEI your
girlfriend will say, Katy Leshian, it's and you're just sure,
let me do it. I'm here to say like today
was an exception. Yeah, and I'm paying the price. But
for the most part, I don't think dude should be reluctant.
Are you in a rush to look like a catchersmith?

(04:48):
Are you in a rush to look like the old
Marlborough man? Are you in a rush to look like
an old guy? I say, you follow their lead. They
know a little something about this stuff, but she failed
to tell me how much is smelled. So it smells
like it smells like, you know, like a beauty slot
or something you know, like that chemical like what is that? Oh,
that's my face and people can smell it from there

(05:09):
where they are. Now that's how bad. Yeah, probably you
probably smell it to your speakers. Now this is only
jumped by one other story I could think of trumped
and let me wrap it up by telling this story
real quick.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yep. My sister pulled one of these on my brother
in law.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
My sister is like, Chris, I got you a new
hair product that's under the sink.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Now, my brother in law, Chris is a total bobo, right,
and he'll do whatever you tell him to do. He's
sort of laid back, just goes with the flow kind
of guy. He's like, all right, I'll use whatever he told.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Me to do. And he came to my house one day.
He's like, I don't know what's going on. Man, I'm
like burning up or something. I feel real weird.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
And dude, I'm looking at the guy and his head
is as red as could be, like a tomato head.
I'm like, what is going out you manu? Okay, I'll
use the new hair product. He's just telling me about
the new hair product they used. He used like Ben
Gay or icy hot on his hair and his head
was on fire the whole time.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Dude.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
I'm like, dude, he grabbed the wrong bottle or something,
or I don't know what he did, but he used
some sort of muscle cream on his head and it
was burning the whole time. And the dude had to
go to a concert like that. I'm like, what an idiot?
So anyway, be careful when he used this stuff. Maybe
do a little sample first. That was my morning? How
was yours? Well, I'll tell you what. I'll tie it

(06:32):
into our lead today. You know who doesn't listen to
their wife or girlfriend? Who Jerry Jones?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Because he don't listen to nobody.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Does he have to Jerry Jones? That one of the
perks of being that old and successful. Listen Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones is, let's be honest, a great business man.
The value of the Dallas Cowboys is upwards of ten
billion dollars. He's done at all, but he has had

(07:03):
more head coaches than playoff wins since the nineties. Hell
hasn't done anything with that team in the playoffs since
the nineties. What were you doing in nineteen ninety six?
Me picking your nose in college, drinking cheap beer. O man,
I was the man in ninety six. Of course, Yankees
won the World Series. How's at the parade? I was
doing all?

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, it's a fun think about that mindset.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
That's the last time Jerry Jones got to the Promised
Land with the Cowboys. So it's funny when he comes
out because he's all the speculation Danny all the time, right, Like,
should Jerry Jones hire a GM?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
The consensus is what? Of course? And this has been
going on for years and years.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Yeah, but once you passed like one hundred years old,
isn't it written somewhere that you could do whatever you want?
Isn't that one of the perks of making it this far?
A little something that you do. I'm not saying Jerry
Jones knows a lot, but listen to this quote. This
is via an interview did a one on one with

(08:03):
Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill Junior. Okay, I've done it all.
Should I do a little southern accent? I thought that
was an actual SoundBite.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I've done it all. I have an ordinate amount of confidence.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
So if if anyone could figure out how to get
this s done, I can figure it out and how
it gets done, okay, And then he goes on to say,
I've been there every which way from Sunday. I busted
my ass a bunch of bunch, and there's nobody living
that's out cutting and shooting. They can't give a bunch

(08:38):
of times they busted their ass. I don't even know
what that means. Like a weasel on a I've done
it all. So he's saying there's no one and it
ends with him saying, and there's no one that could
be a better GM than me.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
And by the way, Ryan big Sexy, you don't have
to bleep me out when I say like a weasel
on a woodpecker. One time I got like bleeped out
and like we didn't know what that meant, like it
was the National Geographic photo of the year. It was.
It was a weasel on top of a woodpecker. If
you don't believe the look it up, look it up,
Google it. But it sounded like something like Jerry Jones
when we were on ESPN. They I mean, this is
a true story. I tell you as alone a woodpecker.

(09:16):
I've seen it, I've done it. If you know said
that they dumped. They they hit the dump button woodpeckers.
Amazing photo though, look it up. It weasel is riding
on the back of a woodpecker. But I don't want
to get you off track. I think the proof is
in the numbers. More head coaches than playoff wins all
that stuff. We know what the cowboys have been up to.

(09:38):
But I do think you need to give like old
people their respect. He is the cowboys. He does know
a little something. I'm not saying he could do it
better than a GM, but there is something to be
said about the wisdom an older person has. Really, that's
all you have when you're that old. You've been there,
done that, You've seen it much. Aren't there things you

(10:00):
just to have someone else do?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes? Think about your own life? All right?

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Ryan music, handsome fellow, I mean so well dressed. Both
two we end music. Both look at you? You know,
can I tell you look at your guys? Why do
you think you know why? I wore jeans and put
on some Jordan's today and a nice shirt because you guys,
the herd dresses nice. They set the tone dress success. Yeah, yeah, Ryn,
you were saying that you at one point tried to
mount your own TV.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh you know what, that's just a terrible, terrible idea.
Tell us about it.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Listen, it all worked out, So we'll go. We'll start
at the end and let you know that the TV
is still on the wall, The wall is intact.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
We're all good there.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
But if you're mounting your own TV, you'd be like, hey,
you know, maybe this takes like two hours, three if
you're really doing your due diligence.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, it took like three days.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Okay, So we got to preface it too, Like we
understand there are certain guys out there who take a
lot of pride in doing it themselves and they're good
at this stuff. But if you're not good at this stuff,
you have to ask yourself, is my time worth that?
Wouldn't it be easier to just have someone do it?
Just to save me the frustration and the time one
hundred percent. My brother in law helped me do it.

(11:10):
And we had just moved into this house, my wife
and I, and you know, you're so excited.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
You're like, oh, a new house, this is great, so cool,
I'll do it. I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, you start putting holes in the wall and then
all of a sudden, You're like, man, this took a
lot longer than I thought. Now it's nine o'clock at night.
You're like, we can't be drilling holes in the law.
Nine o'clock at night. Carries over into the next day.
You forgot where you left off. You're like, oh, we
got to remeasure did you write down the measurements? Oh,
we got to remeasure it again. You're not confident about it.
Oh no, he's thinking to fall off. And then you

(11:41):
put this faith in a professional rich where they put
it up and you're like, ah, looks good. If you
do it, I bet you question everything and is it straight?
You probably dwelled on it absolutely, Yeah, didn't know if
it was straight. We keep like backing off, going back.
We're like, no, it's crooked, it's crooked.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Take it off. You do it again.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
You're like, no, now it's crooked. The first way was
the right way. And then yeah, for like two weeks
after that, I kept thinking, as soon as I got home,
I'm gonna open the door and the TV is gonna
be on the ground. Yeah yeah, Now from now on.
From then on, I was like, I am never doing
anything like that. You gotta call Johnny Lawrence. He has
a company out of here, you know of Cobra Kai
Johnny Lawrence. Didn't he break a pipe in the wall? Yes,

(12:23):
in one of the episode of the episodes? Yeah, but
he mounted TVs, and that is I can imagine people
rolling their eyes there, because there's a lot of people
where they could do that easily. But I'm with you
one hundred percent. You go to my house. I have
a space right there ready for the TV to be mounted.
It just hasn't been done yet because I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it. I don't need the hassle or
the hoff It's a message to Jerry Jones. Jerry, we

(12:47):
know what you've done. You're a billionaire, you own the Cowboys,
get a GM. Don't be that sure of yourself. I
have a question. You're a great businessman. I need are
you great at this?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
I need to uh? Is it? Are you too old?
Is it past you? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
My wife wants to put what are they called pendants
over the kitchen islands, you know, like the little hanging
lights over kitchen islands. I called an electrician. Do you
think I want to attempt to start doing electric work
in my house?

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Just YouTube bit.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
That's say I'm glad here saying that though, because there's
probably millions of people listening right now. Is to her
the Indians who are rolling their eyes and saying, come on, yeah,
some of us are handy.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I delivered my own son. I'm not paying.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
You gotta pay professional. I mean, even something as simple
as you could be like this is absurd. I think
it's worth a hundred bucks a month for a pool
guy out here in California. It's not like a ball
and a lot of people have pools. Well that's the thing. Now,
are you just being lazy there or do you really
need a professional? But you work hard so you could
pay people so you can really to enjoy your family

(13:54):
and your time.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
All I'm thinking is I'm not That's not something I know.
So guess what I do. No, No, I could skim
the pool. But to give someone one hundred bucks a
month to they come by every week to make sure
the levels and the chlorine and everything's right, that to
me is worth it for you?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's worth it?

Speaker 6 (14:11):
Question everybody has there? Is it worth it for you?
It's not a it's not a day of our shelf.
I don't bring up your divorce or ex wife. Sure, yeah, aad.
We're only on national radio, only millions listening. It's okay,
did you spend a lot of money on a divorce
attorney or did you say no, I'm gonna represent myself.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I thought about it because I was broken. Yeah, I
thought about it.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
I'm like, I think I could do it, but no,
not only hold on to answer your question since you
brought it up every day of my life since then. Okay,
not only did I have to pay for lawyer, you,
as the guy who makes the more money or woman
who makes more money, you have to pay for the
other person too, So for my lawyer and her lawyer.

(14:53):
I'm like, what if that guy that was a nightmare,
nightmare for so mounting a TV hiring an electrician? Representing
your self in court? What do you think being your
own GM? Why do you think athletes, you know, sometimes
get pushback when they're like, I don't need an agent,
I'm gonna represent myself. That's never That's usually not a
good idea. Now, Lamar Jackson, Richard Truman, there have been
people that successfully have done it, but in our world,

(15:15):
even like there's small potatoes compared to a Colin or
Dan Patrick. But we have an agent that represents us
and does our contract because there are things you can't do.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
You get someone to.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Do an unprofessional look to be talking numbers with your employers.
They never a good thing, especially in this business. I'm
sure yours as well. But Jerry Jones, it comes down
to this, can you do it yourself? Should you do
it yourself? Things you shouldn't do yourself. My sister and

(15:46):
I told this story recently on our Patreon. Yes we
have one. Check it out if you'd like. We appreciate
that if you like our show. My sister hit us
up on our little family chat and she's like, I
don't know what to do. This is a great this
is a great example of get someone to do it.
I know this story. This is, you know, should you
hire a professional or do it yourself Jerry Jones style.

(16:08):
She's like, there's like a major active beehive in front
of my house and the neighbors are complaining. And she
showed a video right and it looked like she went
back in time because there was some sort of prehistoric
beehive that I'd never seen.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Before, like something out of a cartoon.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Like usually you see those little cones or those little
you know, those little things in the corner. You're like,
what is that hornet's nest? What is that thing right there?
And you can remove it.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
This was a.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Full on, giant, prehistoric high It looked bigger than the
biggest watermelon at a cookout.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
And she's like it was like and my dad was like, yeah, yeah,
I tell you what I would do. I would just
you know, spray it and hit it with a broom
and uh yeah, tell you a husband to do it.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
I'm like, tell her husband to do it. This guy's
gonna a bit by these things. They're probably deadly, but
when we end up dying, just hire somebody.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
It wasn't even a beast. It was like a hornet.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
Hornet, dude, I'm gonna show you, Ryan, I'm to show
you because I'm not exaggerating. It was full on, like
giant like cartoon like hive. It can all come out
and make an arrow like in a cartoon. Yeah, and
go out to the guy.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
And she's like, it'll probably cost me like two hundred
dollars to get it removed. I'm like two hundred dollars, Well, spent.
You're gonna have your husband going up there with a
ladder or whatever and broom in a broom the neighborhood.
They're gonna attack, like what are you doing? What's the
cost of a hospital bill when he falls off the ladder?

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Because it.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Not only yeah seriously so like yeah, two hundred bucks
and nobody, nobody wants to waste or spend two hundred
bucks that they don't have to spend. But some things
are just better left to a professional. You could relax,
have the comfort of knowing that it's being done right.
And Jerry Jones here could probably benefit if he hires
a GM. That's not the discredit what he knows. He

(17:55):
does know a lot, So I give him that, but
hire somebody else because the proof is in the numbers.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I play Devil's Advocate only if you're Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
Okay, now, why when's last time you saw that movie?

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Why would Jerry Jones.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Need a GM when it does seem like he does
make good moves, he's putting great personnel, he's signing the
right players.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
No one's ever good enough business, no.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
One's ever said this team is failing because Jerry Jones
is losing a free agency Jerry Jones is drafting poorly.
This team is constructed well, and as Mike McCarthy said earlier,
I don't know when the hell it became easy to
win twelve games every year. They just can't get to
the next level. Is that on Jerry Jones or is
that on the head coach and the personnel just not
delivering in the clutch. Jerry Jones, you could argue, from

(18:47):
a GM owner standpoint, has done a pretty great job, right.
I mean problem is in what we know about the
NFL in general is a g If Jerry was the
GN but had an owner, he would be out of
a job by now, because an owner would not keep

(19:08):
a GM for going on two and a half decades now,
that's true without advancing past the divisional round of the play.
That's a great point. So yeah, he should fire himself
as GM and hire someone if he's gonna be a
diligent owner. In that case, he has to fire himself
from this position and hire someone else just to give
him a shot to shake it up.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
As our buddy for Ill used to say, you gotta
shake it.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
Oh you know, so the question again heard Nation Fox
Sports Radio, Nation things you shouldn't do yourself, you know,
like deliver a baby, like electric work. There's no way
that Rich should be doing that. I know Rich's skill
set again, removing a beehive. Tell us your story, your nightmare,
or maybe the story we're paid off where you were

(19:51):
gonna pay somebody and you're glad you didn't.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Let us know? Again, do you like to do it yourself?

Speaker 6 (19:57):
He's seven seven four three four three seven seven seven
for the herd. Some people have no choice but to
do with them. I will say, if you want to
get people fired up, We've been doing this a long time,
believe it or not. And what gets people more mad
than anything? You're gonna bring up cars?

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Aren't.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Let me tell you. I know it when there are
hot buttons.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
I'm sure Colin has certain conversations he could have where
listeners and people go nuts, maybe backwards hats or you know,
some fun day Colin has right anytime I talk about, oh,
I bring my car and to get the oil change,
I don't do that myself.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
The feedback we get like, what do you mean you know?

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Change?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Rowing away?

Speaker 4 (20:35):
I want?

Speaker 6 (20:35):
I'm like, why you're not a man's mane? You don't
know the backlash we get, and I always have to
defend Rich here too, and believe me, I don't want it.
But when we agree, it's fact. We're guys from the
East Coast. I'm from New Jersey, Riches from Long Island,
so very much city boys in some ways. Right, Can

(20:56):
we grow up with this this skill set where you
do it yourself and you're under the car, you're ringing
it up and you're changing this and fixing that, and
I'm tinkering on the weekend like a weeeze alone a record.
Yeah no, Like that's not what we grew up doing, right.
I got up playing whiffle ball in baseball and like
a lot of you did. But I'm saying we didn't

(21:17):
grow up with that skill level. My dad was like,

(23:12):
we're gonna talk Lebron in a few minutes. You know,
just a kid from Akron As Rich Davis, Danny g
we got twoy and music, we got Spotty getting ready
for midweek major the biggest stories in sports and pop culture.
We do it every midweek every Wednesday. Stick around for that.
But do you do it yourself? Things you shouldn't do yourself?

(23:32):
A Jerry Jones, he's his own GM. He says he's
the best GM, So why hire a GM? I thought
of something else. We were talking to Big Mike, who
runs this place. He's saying, by the way, just to
give me why I give you one more part of
that quote. Yeah, when asked should he get a GM, yeah,
hell no. There's no one that could effing come in
here and do all the contracts the way I do

(23:54):
and be a better GM. He is just sure of himself.
But listen, when you have a ten billion dollar team,
I thought you were giving him that root and tutin
Yosemite sam sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah. I think.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
I think it's like, uh, sometimes you know, people are
too confident, like you ask a lot of it.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I'll give you an analogy. It is the hurt. Colin
loves analogies.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Go off to a bunch of gush, go up to
a bunch of guys like, hey, how's your marriage? Oh?
Most guys, yeah, everything's great, everything's good. They ask their wives.
Sometimes things aren't as good as a guy might think.
How many times have you seen a guy where he's like, yeah,
you know, my wife's good And he says some dumb
thing like calls her the old ball and shade or

(24:37):
some nonsense.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
And I guarantee who the worst is my old lady?

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Yeah, she did not make your wife happier and feel sexy,
feel sexier than when he says sexier than when he
refers to her as my old lady. You asked that
old lady, She's probably like, yeah, I'm not that happy.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
So you know, you got to remember Jerry Jones. It's
getting the job done.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
They're making the playof consistently, as I said, Mike McCarthy said,
out of the one, the hell became easy to win
twelve games every year. But when you don't get to
that next level, when you don't get to the finish line.
And I'm a Niners fan, they're getting that criticism. Now
they're getting close, but can't get the job done. If
he can't get the job done, I know Jerry Jones
wants to win, right, we know that, But he's also

(25:19):
in the business of.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Give me my money.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
And as the trend goes and he's getting plenty man,
and they're making plenty and they're paying the right guys.
It just executed the field, I think Ryan. I'll give
Ryan credit again Tooey and Music are here. Ryan Music said,
any other GM would have been fired by this point
based on their playoff success. So if he was a

(25:44):
really great active owner, which we believe he is and
should be, then he would have fired that GM therefore
firing himself as THEGM, getting a new one to come
and make that change. I thought it something else though,
of things you should or shouldn't do, the debatable one.
We'll get your phone calls next. Let's say eight seven
seven for the herd eight seven seven four eight four

(26:06):
three four three seven. This is right on the on
the fence here on the cusp of should you or
should you not? We've all made that trip to Aika.
You know, the Hemnz Hemnz line is one of my favorites.
That's Hemnz. So if it's Ikea furniture, I sort of
got this down. I always end up with extra parts.
But I'm like, ah, you know what, I'm good. I'm

(26:27):
good on that. I don't need help. But you ever
buy like a desk or something from Amazon. It's not
necessarily Ikea, but it's the same sort of premise where
you're putting it together, but they don't make it as easy.
It's just like a bunch of nonsense. You're like, oh,
I don't know, I've hired somebody to put that together
for real. Yeah, there's there's services everywhere. Is that dude

(26:48):
that would have ruined my entire is your entire Sunday
after that's, dude, I can't try to watch football.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
You want to you want to do while you're watching football.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
Let me tell you, dude, that could aggravate and ruin
the whole tone of yourn. You work hard all week,
you want to deal with this aggravation. There is a
big difference. No, I've done it before. There's a big
difference between me saying a la Jerry Jones. There are
things you don't do yourself. I'm not rewiring the electricity
in my home, but I'm putting together a dresser.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Stop it. No, No, it was a nightmare.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
It wasn't it your typical hemnez Ikea, give me another
good ikea name?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Spot what calix?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yeah, is that one of those that you know you're
familiar with. This was something from Amazon. It looked like
a nightmare. I'm like, no, not doing it? Okay, So
I did pay somebody to do that. Again, things you
should and shouldn't do yourself. I got one more dumb one.
And then we'll go to We'll start with Cameron in Cincinnati.
We'll take all your calls in for the herd not

(27:44):
putting it together. But if you go to a place
and there's a delivery charge. Are you the person that's like, nah,
I can fit in my trucker car And you got
like your hand on the roof and you're balancing it
with your wife like there's a huge mirror on the
hood of your suv and you got you got an
ottoman sticking out of your trunk on. Yeah, are you
doing that? Or you say no, no, no, no, I'll pay

(28:06):
the fifty hundred bucks for delivery. I'd rather pay the
fifty Yeah. You work, you work hard so that you
could use that money to get things done the right way,
you know, otherwise you're just taking shortcuts and that never
pans out right, at least for me. Now, if you're
a skillful guy, I get it doesn't apply to you.
I don't have those skills. But Rich, you called me

(28:26):
out about the furniture. I got to call you out. Yeah,
all right, I admit I didn't put that piece together. Recently,
this guy takes his car not only for an oil change,
he takes his car to the full on service center
for air and his tires because he doesn't do it himself.
That's the truth. He is absurd. Rich is on a

(28:47):
different level of ridiculous. Oh come on, yeah, well, Danny,
the car dealership is as equal, it's almost as close
as the gas station. So I give the guy five
bucks and he brings out the little tank and I'm like,
because then they got to reset the button the car.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
So the lights not on. I can't do that.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
That is something you could do. Don't don't look at
for validation. I tell listen, I'll look around the room.
There's no validation. Let's go to Phocals Cincinnati. Cameron, you're on.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
What's up? Cam? What you got? Right here?

Speaker 5 (29:16):
There?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
We go?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
All right, what's up? Kim?

Speaker 5 (29:19):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Guys? What's up? Brother? How are you? What up?

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Man?

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Dude? All right? Are you good?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
What's your thoughts?

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yeah? So about the putting things together, I had this
the disposal food, disposing your sinking. Yeah you're right, yeah yeah,
And so it's like one hundred bucks to get a
new one. Call the people to come see what they
can do. They're gonna charge me like ninety five just
to come out. So I'm like, oh, yeah, I can
do this. I can do this by myself. Yeah. About

(29:47):
four hours later, it's still making the noise, still making
the noise.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
But I have.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Successfully installed this new disposal.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Cameron. Give it up for Cam.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
They always talk about don't you feel like I tried
and accomplished when you're done, Like, no, I just wasted
four hours and I aged ten years from all that aggravation.
You know, what are you trying to do? Prove to
your wife that you could do it. How about you
prove her to get it done right and just pay
someone to do it nicely. Let's keeping that other person
with food on their table. You're keeping them working. What

(30:20):
a nice guy? Jose in La.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
What's up? Jose? For the economy?

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Guys? Are you guys do it? I'm I'll be making
a delivery. But yeah, back like like like seventeen years ago,
I delivered my son. So I was at the hospital
and excuse me, hold on, I.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Like how you said about seven, Like you don't know
how old he is? About like fifteen or something. I
don't know, but I delivered them.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, so I'm forting out my son's seventeen shout out
to j Jail. Also know my high school. Yeah, so
I was in the parking lot with my boys, and
so when I got the call, we were drinking of
the parking lot, celebrating, uh me having a kid, right,
So I get the phone call boom upstairs, and the
doctor's sitting there right there in front of the mother
of my child, and he's like, you're the father. Was

(31:09):
like yeah, He's like prep them and get them ready.
I'm like, man, what the hell going on? So they
prepped me to get me ready? He's like, sit right
here right next to me. I was like, all right.
So I'm staring at my son's head crowning right, and
the doctor's like, giving both of your hands. So he
gets both of my hands broke and puts them inside
into so he's like grabbed his shoulders and turned counterclockwise

(31:34):
and pull out slowly. I'm like, what the He kicked
his hands.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
Out, and then he went to get a cup of coffee,
and he's like, you got it for me, your brother.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I don't even like.

Speaker 6 (31:42):
Bagging my own groceries, let alone doing this. Yeah, she saying,
you know what, so what do you do for? Why
am I doing all the work?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
So you thought I was kidding when I said I
delivered my own side.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
That's crazy, dude, you know, But I guess that's a
great story to tell your kid.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Hey, I delivered you. Relax, that's amazing breaking.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
I know.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
We gotta do.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
I thought he was calling from like the eighteen hundreds
or something. We gotta we gotta do some herd line news.
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
This is the herd Line News.

Speaker 6 (32:13):
All right, good morning, guys. We'll hit one quick NFL story.
In one baseball story. Cowboys signing running back Dalvin Cook.
Last played for the Jets last season. Looked like he
might have lost a step. He was mostly a backup,
and in fairness, we also know the Jets offense with
offense was basically a complete mess after Aaron Rodgers went
down the starter. Right now with Dallas, they have the

(32:36):
reunion with Zeke. Reports are that Cook will start on
the practice squad. But yeah, so you have Zeke and
Dalvin Cook. Some older statesmen say, if this were five
plus years ago, you know, I'm getting fed more out
of those two.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
I mean, definitely Zeke to start the year. I don't
know part with You know.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
You look at Dalvin Cook and it fell apart you fast. Yeah,
Like you know what we talked yesterday about Juju Smith Schuster.
How it was twenty eighteen when he had that big
year and it seems like yesterday. But the Tinto's five
plus seasons ago. Dalvin Cook in Minnesota as of two
years ago, over one thousand yards rushing, like touchdown?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
What happened there?

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Man?

Speaker 6 (33:17):
And he's only twenty eight. Yeah, so maybe there's some
juice left in that, you know, in the squeeze there,
it's possible. Look like we said, the Jets offense was
a total mess. Their offensive line was bad last year.
So maybe there's hope for some more production in Dallas.
But I guarantee last year Colin Dan someone on this
network when he signed with the Jets, and Aaron Rodgers

(33:40):
was not hurt yet. Right, We thought when we watched
Hard Knocks that Dalvin Cook was gonna be a factor. Sure,
and it turned out to be nothing. Absolutely, you remember that.
So all right, we'll wrap up with this, rich there's
still hope. There's still hope.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
Yeah, Boston Red Sox promoting forty four year old Rich
Hill from Triple Hey, that's right. Oh yeah, they're having
some injury issues and their starting rotation, so they're gonna
call up Rich Hill at forty three. Last year, he
made twenty seven starts for the Pirates and the Padres.
Now he's getting another shot on the big So, dude,
I listen to those softball days.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
You know you still got a chance my age. I mean,
maybe I could go head, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Maybe if someone's brother was getting a look. Yeah, frontierly,
you never know who's watching. Yeah, the Dodgers are angels
to check out Balboa on the weekends when I'm playing softball.
Rich Hill, this would be his nineteenth year, right, Yeah, No,
he's started oh five, this would be twenty.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
This would be his twentieth. Yeah, his twentieth year. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
He's got nineteen years in the bigs. Forty four years old.
That's amazing. How could you not roole career? Yeah, that's
that's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
And here's what's crazy. It's just made me think of
Nolan Ryan real quick. When so Nolan Ryan pitched until
he was forty six, but when he was forty four,
he still made twenty seven starts for the Rangers, pitched
one hundred and seventy three innings two point nine era.
Those dudes looked like they were one hundred and eighty
four back then. Though, when you see like the Necros
or like Charlie Huff looked like he was one hundred

(35:09):
and five on the mound. Those dudes look so old
back then. Rich Hill still looks all right. He's wearing
Rockport cleats. He's wearing old dick cleats. But yeah, I'm
rooting for the guy. You ever see music, You ever
see one of those stats, Wheret's noan Ryan post forty
is like a star in itself. Yeah, insane. It's a
Hall of Fame career post forty. Oh my god, Hey,

(35:30):
thank you Herd Line News.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the
Herd Line News.

of do you do it yourself? There are things you
do and.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Things you don't to do it yourself. Do you like
to do it yourself? I mean Jerry Jones? Stop.

Speaker 6 (37:36):
Jerry Jones has said what until he can't do it anymore?
He insinuated until I'm too old? How old is Jerry
Jones now?

Speaker 3 (37:44):
In his eighties? Right, one hundred and eighty five? So
what's he went for when hit?

Speaker 6 (37:48):
When he when he hits one hundred now, which time? Like,
I'll hand it over? So yeah, Jerry Jones will do
it forever.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
He's eighty one eighty one.

Speaker 6 (37:59):
Yeah, well, uh, before we get to Lebron and Otani
and a bunch of other stuff, and of course a
lot of NFL today, is that a thought? Oh no,
When I was I was scrolling through our social media.
When someone says something nice to you, you tend to
be like a great things. When someone says something rude,

(38:22):
what did they say?

Speaker 4 (38:23):
No?

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Really, honestly, there hasn't been much rude. But if you
want to, if you want to at Richmond, bring the kindness.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
I live by this.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
You hate me, I hate you back even worse. But
here's my thought when it does come to social media.
We had this dumb conversation on our show months ago,
what would what would your grandparents and the older people
in your life that passed away, what would they think
is the weirdest thing about culture now in twenty twenty four?

(38:53):
And I thought the number one answer was imagine your grandfather.
I'm pre sure a lot of our grandfathers have passed away. Wait, wait,
so someone on the internet says they don't like you?
What the hell do you care? Wait to shiit isn't
so you're telling me to post Skemes had a no
hitter going and they yanked him.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah, then he would complain about that to you. Absolutely.
Pictures don't pitch the whole game in this generation.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
So no, But I think I think it's really odd
to think that our generation and obviously younger people care
very much about what strangers think. It's very odd thinking
never met you don't know you wait, we disagree about
this in sports and politics?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
You are fighting. We're a strangers.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Such an easy solution to this, Let me share the world.
But it's called block. Okay, but that's it's called I
hate you too.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
You were going to talk about your burner accounts. That's
Kevin Durant.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
Oh you think I think guess what blocked? But I'm wondering,
I ain't got passy. Is that not the answer for everyone,
whether it's an NFL player, an NBA player, just people
that fight about sports and politics?

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Because I think, deep down inside.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
You know I got a deal with you already mentioned it,
ex wives, a teenage daughter. You think I got time
for this guy?

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Block?

Speaker 6 (40:08):
No way, but get out of here. Why do you
even Every once in a while, when I'm bored, I'll
give this to you. When I'm bored, I'll pull it.
Kevin Durant, That just means I'm bored, Like, oh really,
let's chop it up. I think, so do you. Let's
talk about it, you know, and I'll go back and forth.
But otherwise I'm just blocking these people. Who has time
for that?

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Honestly? And you say, who has time for it?

Speaker 6 (40:29):
But I think deep down inside you you yeah, it'll
sting everyone, that nutsting. I think, deep down inside we
just love conflict. I think it's why a lot of
dudes put up with pain in the s women women
put up with jerk guys.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Drama show.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
I think, deep down inside, there's something that draws people
to drama. And of course, like look at television of debate,
why do people watch dumb reality shows like The Bachelorette?
It leads we live off of that. There's a juicy
story in the world of the sports, we're like, oh.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
But if you're not reactionary, you can also you can
also turn a troll into a friend or a fan,
because if you are just cool with them, sometimes they'll
write you back saying, man, I was just in a
bad movie.

Speaker 6 (41:09):
How many times people hit us up? How many times
people hit us up? And they're like, yeah, sorry, I
wrote that to you when I was drunk or high.
That happens all the time. So I just think it's interesting.
It's an interesting observation about the social media culture. Living
we give a lot of attention to haters, right all right?

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Can you know? And rich More next in for the
