I have a developing situation that'll be happening throughout the show. Ben, I just got a text from my wife that I had forgotten about. Do you remember me waking you up at two thirty in the morning because Luca, our dog, had blood in her mouth. What. Yeah, we'll get back to that a little bit later in the show as I try to remember all of that that happened. Or maybe a rat situation not the band. Maybe later in the show we'll play rat. But it's the Been and
Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle and we were hanging out at Rollertown Beer Works in Salina, Texas, because it is the launch of our sumo tournament weekend, one of the most fun things we do. It's probably our best event. And we have sumo wrestlers in the parking lot right now from all over the world. There's going to be a big tournament tomorrow. Plenty of food, plenty of drink, plenty of good times. Come on up here and join us. There was some good times last night.
If you are a NFL fan, the draft is happening. It is going down, and your Dallas Cowboys, with the twelfth pick in the draft, have selected Tyler Brooks, another Tyler offensive lineman, Booker. I said, Booker bros. I met Booker. Sorry, Tyler Booker, another Tyler offensive lineman out of the University of Alabama. And for the third time in four years, they've drafted an offensive lineman named Tyler. Yeah. I think it's a good pick. And I'm not going to sit
here and pretend that I break down film. I do listen closely to the guys who do break down that film, but they've been wrong a lot as well. I remember on the Tyler Smith pick, I was so upset about that pick, and I'd never seen him play, but I was upset because the guys that I follow were saying that's not a good pick. Too many penalties. Yeah, and then the led led the NCAA and holding penalties And he's been awesome. He's awesome. And I remember when Zach
Martin was drafted, I was upset because I wanted Johnny Manziel. Yeah, thank god, I'm not running the team, as Ron Washington once said, right, And with Zach Martin retiring, it's also very much the end of an era. In turn, like there's not a lot of veteran offensive lineman on the team now. And one of the things that sounded crazy to me yesterday is when KT was saying, or maybe it was the day before, well, they need to draft a new leader of the offensive line room. And I'm
sitting there, going a rookie's going to be that. And it's pretty interesting when you go out and read about him. It's he is a leader. He's a leader of guys. He's a leader of a group, he's got the right mentality, and he definitely is a guy that hopefully, I mean, it's hard to say this, hopefully will be a Zach
Martin replacement. In general, over the last decade and a half, I don't know if this is still true, but if you draft an offensive or defensive lineman from the University of Alabama, he's a mean son a bitch, and he's
got his act together and he's tough minded. And the other thing that's interesting to me is I was looking at the ESPN analysis of it, and a lot of people are saying, hey, man, it's a reach at twelve, but he's really good player, which who cares if it to reach if you get a guy that helps your team. But the comparisons I saw on ESPN. They compared him to Tyler Smith. Yeah, and dude, it's like, I remember
the way people felt about Travis Frederick. They're like, wait, you could have got him maybe a little bit later in the draft, but it was incredibly good for them. Yeah, and you know, you get the extra year of control if you get that guy in the first And we should go ahead and back sell and tell people to go watch our YouTube channel that after dark we did with Travis. Yeah, all the stories he was telling about
dealing with Bill Callahan before the draft were amazing. So if you like those kinds of football stories, go watch our YouTube channel on the after dark we did with Travis. So the main thing is there, the Cowboys were sitting at twelve, kind of in the middle of the pack. They didn't contend, and nor did they have a shot at the top five pick. So they're right in that limbo land. So they needed a lot of things to go their way. You know, I think they wanted Ted McMillan,
the six to four wide receiver. That's who they really really wanted, right, and he went eight. He went eight or nine, right, something like that. Yeah, and maybe eight, But it's like, man, you know they had. They needed it to work out perfectly for them, because they won four meaningless games down the stretch. Keep in mind, they were three and seven. There were three and seven, the worst record in the league had the worst team had two wins, so they were right next to the worst
records in the NFL. Dak was out for the year. They had eighteen guys on the injury report, and instead of rolling out Trey Lance, which I think would have led to losses, they let out Cooper Rush, the veteran quarterback who can always get you that win. Now McCarthy's gone, so you didn't need to win for his culture. You know, Cooper Rush is gone, he's playing for the Ravens now
and Trey Lance is also gone. And it's like, dude, if you had lost some of those games even and they won three of those four games down the stretch by less, by score less, that changed your draft day prog So, dude, it just broke my heart that they
didn't get the guy they wanted. And I heard Stephen Jones on the fan earlier today and he was talking about, oh, yeah, we got the well, we got the guy we wanted, the guy we wanted for sure, we want him last grade we had, and it's like, or we would have traded back if we'd gotten like the deal we couldn't refuse. I'm like, wait, they were trying. They were trying to trade back. You were trying to trade back because the guy you wanted wasn't there because you won meaningless games.
I mean, I'm the wrong guy. I don't I think it's impossible to take in football, So I'm the wrong one about Tree Lance. I don't like, if you look at all those teams that are at the bottom, they were all trying to lose. No, no, but I'm saying the Cowboys ended up at twelve, and because Cooper Rush won four out of those five games, if you just lose two of those games, you get Tech McMillan. I mean, I don't know. I don't even know how to talk
about tanking in football, but I understand. It's like it's alternate universe. But they One of the things I liked is that everyone out there thought they were drafting Golden who went twenty three, and it was clear they were smoke screening if they didn't get the receiver they wanted, which that guy seems like he would have been a great fit. It's great to get the guard that they wanted because also if you look, a lot of guards went later in the first round, and so they needed
to get a guard. They got the one apparently that they wanted because they drafted him at twelve, and they could have had a litany of other guys, and so if he ends up being the guy that they have targeted, that has all the characteristics that they want, which later in the show, we're gonna play a really great clip of Micah Parsons hearing Tyler talk and getting really fired up, and I think you're really gonna like this. We'll do all that later in the show. We have all kinds
of good draft coverage. But coming up next been Kat had prepared a really good mount rushmore of Dallas athletes Dallas actors. Coming up next in the Hollywood Shuffle, we have the Dallas musicians right here on ninety seven point one, the equal
