Transcript

This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one, The Freak. Yeah. Fresh off another successful edition of the food Court, which we tried out, the new restaurant Cosmics, which is I said restaurant, the new food spot and drink spots, drive through takeout so far no dine in too in America. Yeah right, and we have one right down the street from us, which is kind of awesome and I gotta be honest, better than I expected. I think. The question is is it better than McDonald's yes breakfast,

Yes, I thought it was. I haven't had McDonald's breakfast in twenty years, but I have seen it. Yeah. See, I do McDonald's breakfast every couple of months. And did you think it was better? And like better quality? I thought it was very similar the little sandwich thing. I got sausage and cheese. But we had those mcpops which are sort of like

little mini donuts donut holes, like filled doughnut holes. I mean, now, if you're gonna have a nice soft doughnut hole filled with chocolate, hazel nut and apple, yeah, like, how are you not gonna like it? They were good, They were fresh tasting and damn delicious, those savory hash bites there. They were better than most breakfast hash yes options, I think I've had the Coffee's fine, Let's get a okay, do you have

the bag that it came in? It had the receipt on, And I was curious what the price points were on these things, because I'm looking at the menu last night when you were, excuse me, taking our order for a lovely, lovely delivery person, Christina went and picked this stuff up for

us. My guess is that probably was about one hundred bucks. I honestly, I'd say, if someone gets it within two dollars, you don't have to pay anything for breakfast, Okay, I would say, honestly, we got JJ stuff too, remember Christina got stuffed was I'd say it's probably around eighty four eighty four fifty This is my guess. I'll say sixty four dollars, j Jay, fifty seven. Okay, I'll take sixty dollars exactly. Oh wait, somebody's in. You said fifty seven, you're right out,

you have to pay for breakfast. What did you say? Sixty four? What did you say? Eighty four to fifty you're right out? I guess sixty I'm right out Kevin. That was a free breakfast, my man, because it was sixty four to ninety one? Did you guess sixty four wows nice work. I would have been the next contestant on the price is right. Absolutely. I would have been going up and awaiting a new car. But it would turn out it would just be a new dining set, I

know, and the next person that I would get the new car. If this was the Showcase Showdown, you would have won both Showcase. Yeah, bring them both. A trip and a boat and a crappy boat you have to take care of and get in shirt in a hot tub or just give it away hot tub. But you get to hang out close up with Holly. It's never a bad thing ever. Do you guys want to keep the souvenir bag from Cosmics? No, no, we're good. You don't think Malcolm would like to play with that? No, No, I don't thank

you though. Just two in America, Daddy actually limited. I think about be more creative, harder. Want to give your kid this paper bag? Be on the lookout at ninety seven one the Freak After the show at ninety seven won the Freak. Be on the lookout for the world's greatest TikTok. It's coming. We started this at six AM. I don't know why it came out, but yes, I started by promising it. By the end

of today, we're sending the our biggest effort TikTok of all time. For full context, listen to the six AM segment and then check out the TikTok just because it'll it'll give you context to why some of the things are happening. But that's uh. We talk back in a minute. Cowboys for a second, Okay, And if you're out there going on, what me say

real quick. This happened with our friend to mister Dak last night. An article dropped or a post dropped, and it was basically a breaking news report when it probably shouldn't have been a breaking news report, and it was saying basically that the Cowboys have a mutual understanding that there will be no adjustment to the contract with Dak entering this season. Dak is on the books at fifty five million against the cap. That's the second highest number in the NFL.

They could do an extension which would lower that number. They could do a restructuring which would lower that number, but the cow was denied. They've given up trying to get a new deal done before the season. Now, basically all that means is that you could read into it is that the Cowboys might be considering moving on from Dak after this season. It's confusing with money, as in the contract that he signed last time, which has void years in

it. It's all confusing. But the the best I could put that is you could infer if you wanted to, that Dak has basically been told by the Cowboys, We're not gonna do it the contract. Let's go win some games this year. Why is that not breaking news? Like the way I read it is he'll play this year, he will be a free agent next year, and if he goes to another team, the Cowboys are gonna owe

him or owe forty million bucks on the cap. Okay, So is that if the Cowboys don't decide to re sign him at the end of this season, Yeah, and that money get thrown out. Like I think Schefter wrote that the Cowboys at ow ninety five million dollars and that's not true. It wouldn't be that much. Like here's what I think will happen. This is the reason I think it's not breaking news is not fair because it's breaking news

for a reason for everyone out there. I just am desensitized to DAK contract talk because it felt like it was the only thing I was allowed to talk about five years ago. And I will just say this directly that I think this is all bs and that the Cowboys and Dak are gonna do a deal before the season starts. I don't think it'll happen before the draft where it gives you more money to work with. I don't think it will happen in

a way that helps the team get more players. But I think they will sign Dack to an extension because that will then allow them to get Ceedee Lamb done, and Ceedee Lamb getting done would allow them to get other have cap space. Because I think what the Cowboys, I think they're drunk off the

idea of trading fifth rounders for Stefan Gilmour and Brandon Cooks. I ain't going to try to do that, which roll, Oh, they haven't done anything, But then you get to the season, Well, they look at the things they did last year, and I think that's what's on their mind. So I could be wrong, and if you wanted to go deeper, and this is the deeper part of it. There's conspiracy web if you want to go down there, that is that the Cowboys know something about the sexual assault

allegation that we don't know. I don't believe that personally, but who knows. All Right, if there's any team organization in sports that's comfortable with having sexual assault allegations on their plate, it's them, Okay. Jerry Jones said as much yesterday. He's out of his words and this is a very uh no, no, I wouldn't even say loose paraphrase. We know the details

and we're comfortable with it. Yeah. And when he was asked about you know, how much he was involved or knew about uh DA's pending whatever civil case for one hundred million dollars, Jerry said, yeah, we know the details and we're comfortable with that. So what what if the Joneses are unsure about you know, Dak's performance in the playoffs and they're like, look, he's good, he's not great. We want to do better. And what if they do I want him to play this year and say go Option one

would be you see what Trey Lance has. He will be developed as your number two quarterback, right, here, he'll get every opportunity to win the backup job. Okay there. From there you go, Okay, we'll find out if he has what we think are the tools, the you know, the the internal clocked, the just the headspace to be the quarterback of the Cowboys. We think we can determine that in a year, and then we will also look for either a free agent or we will spend a draft pick

on a quarterback in next year's draft. But you are to walk on from Dak you would still owe him not forty million, but a lot next year. Yeah, I don't know that it's forty uh And that's where it gets a little confusing with contract stuff. I don't really knowing that. But Lance is also trade Nance is also a free agent after this year, and if you wanted to keep him, you would have to pay like twenty million dollars. They're not going to pick up his fifth year option pay him twenty million

dollars. They're not doing that. So I guess if they see something in practice, they're like, all right, we we believe. And he is was a first round, early first round talent a couple of years ago that you got for the price of what a third, fourth a fourth, and you get to teach him for a couple of years the packer way kind and then unleash Trey Lance on the world for a fraction of what you would be paying Dak. Or you can give Dak right now four years at one hundred

and eighty million. So no, it'd be too four years at two hundred million. Okay, I look, I like Dak, but and you sign him to that deal, and then you sit there and watch regular season success and regular season wins, and you just sit there and wait until January starts and he plays one game that decides if this was a good idea or not, because it'll just all be weigh on can you do it in the playoffs? Because we know you can do it in the regular season. And that's

the root of the doubts of Dak. And I think the team might be like, you know what, he's good, but he ain't it. There's a couple of things that people ask, why wouldn't because it's usually and this is what the Cowboys want in negotiations. They want, weirdly, a little bit of the public to turn on Dak a little bit, and the question will come up, why won't Dak just take a team friendly deal? Why

won't he just do that? Hey, we don't know that, because the way this contract is structured could work out in a way to where it is friendly for the team. B You cannot in the NFL, especially at quarterback, take a team friendly deal. You will be absolutely crucified by the players

Association. Idiot, We're supposed to all be making more money. You don't do that, and that will that rides over taking team friendly deals, and it always will because it's a job, right, and it's it's it's if one of us, like took way undervalue, I'm to any job took way undervalue to help out the company, the rest of your teammates to be going, tell, what are you doing? Now? We have to do like,

yeah, I get it. But the cowboys try to sell that there are intangible benefits and his factor in your sleep number money and all this money, and they try to sell that, and that even be true. You know, if I took a if you take a lower salaried position at your job. But hey, we're gonna throw a car in and these endorsements of this, this and this, it's all gonna equal more in the end because

you play here. I mean, that's what the team trees this out, and there may be some truth to that, but you're right, that's not really Dak's responsibility. So yeah, I'll take all that stuff too, and an equitable market deal. I think this song, this quote from Jerry could be a new Danny song. And I'm not asking you to go record a song, Danny, trust me, but I wrote this was a song free week. We almost made it. That's Wednesday and we're panicking. You're right,

Mike, a restructure. If they restructure his contract now, that would push more dead money ahead. Right now, as it sits, he counts forty million against the cap in twenty twenty five, even if he plays for someone else because of the way their contracts were, I don't really know. But if he signed with the Bears, I'm the Bears are gonna draft the

number one draftick. If he signed with the Rams for Matt Stafford retires, he would still count forty million against the cap in twenty twenty five, So not having him doesn't make a lot of sense in my opinion at that, Monny, But that's me, and I also think I'm not a fan of We'll see what's out there. I mean, I think the Vikings rolling with Sam Darnold is going to blow up in their face and they're gonna win four games this year. That's what I think will happen. I could be wrong.

The Cowboys over under right now with Vegas as ten. I take the over on that right now. I still think this team is a twelve and five type of team. But if one of them doesn't believe that he is the guy, for whatever reason, you're just extending it. If you do re sign him for another two hundred million dollars in four years, it's all about what they believe. I guess, yes, it makes financial sense.

I guess to ink that deal. But also if you're like, dude, he's not the dude he freaks out in the playoffs, you're not seeing what happened behind the scenes. You can tell it. You can see in his eyes all week, and you can see it in his helmet on Sunday. Yeah, it's not there when it needs to be there. Then yeah, eat the forty million dollars as much as it sucks. Yeah. Now here's

the Jerry's quote that could be a song. This is from three weeks ago to the combine, but asked about the idea that Dak could leave after this year, is it I don't fear that. No, I do not, because I have my mind on being better than we were last year, and that's where the focus would be. Ever, every player you got has some time when his contract is up. You would walk around with the shakes if you feared it. You can't because they all come up, they all can

get hurt, they all can lose some talent. So all of that is not fear. All we need to do is see if we're going to try to do anything. If we're not, then we'll go another way. It's all confusing. Take it. You could get the shakes fear in it. If you copy and paste that, that's not even as good. Though I don't care. He's got better ones. But it's all all in interesting,

all always there. The other the note from the Cowboys world is if you read David Moore writes something Dallas Morning News, he's been you know, he talks to Cowboys people all the time. So John ma showed at the Athletic

that he wrote the big Dak piece. But David Moore mentioned even though McCarthy or the Jones has never mentioned them by name, but people close to the situation both brought up Dalvin Cook, who is the former running back for Mike Zimmer, who's the defensive coordinator in Ezekiel Elliott, as players who might be on the radar for bringing a veteran MK. He also wrote pretty clearly they will draft a running back in the second or third round. Yeah, which

I say, this is a bad running back draft. Seen as a bad running back draft. Can we get speedy Texas man? Is he run? Jonathan Brooks? Maybe hurt though so well so maybe more likely that the Cowboys take human bones heel Kevin, Likely they'd take him. They'll take a hurt guy. Geez, I'm like horsebone set to kill the horse, absolutely, But when a horse is healthy, pretty healthy once you get him there?

What when the horse is healthy, he's pretty healthy once you get Now there's the song that's horse is healthy when he's healthy once you get him there. Okay, dude, my god, who wrote this crap? Cavo cavy? Hey man, all right, do something fun. I was looking at the talkbacks when I said those words. Here we go. Advanced hair restoration brings us the talkbacks for today. So many have come in a lot of people just saying their favorite funny movie. We get a lot of that. Here's

our first one today. Hey, I'm the patient to receive the neuralink brain and plant. I know you mentioned that on night one. I got to get back into my hobbies. Staying up all night playing chess, playing Sieve six on the computer was great. But night two has been great as well. I got my faculties back so I can get erections again, which means I stayed up all night doing telekinetic rod cranks in my brain ship caught fire. But he is gonna pop a new updated version into me, which he

says will actually give me the ability to give other people erections. Okay, don't listen to all the time then till my neuralin caught fire? Is that guy that's insane? You met that guy? Yeah? One time up and say hey, guys, we're gonna be like what autograph. It was a late start for the Stars last night and San Jose as they beat the Shark six to three, White Johns have scored a goal right as I was drift enough to sleep, he'd go and score another two goals from Jason Robertson last

night. Jamie Bence days hot and scores in his fifth consecutive game. The Stars are now in sole possession of the first place in the Central with nine games left. Let's go starss all right, Stars update there it is Jim first in the Central. Jim, Jim, well done, So down be what's happening. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and schedule office space for your next movie. So if you could go ahead and do that, that'd

be great. Okay, thanks, Okay, Country Country Lomberg. Maybe we'll see I'm blown away, blown away this whole time that y'all talked about the greatest comedies for however long, and no one there was no mention of any Jim Carrey movies. Jim Carrey whole Yeah, you know, big gulps huh or whatever he said. Yeah, do we not say dumb and dumber because that's got top or a Okay, I rank ace above dumb and dumber. What you're a banana? They're all great or they they like the mask,

Give me the mask, Ask the mask, the mask. The mass is spectacular mask. Yeah, I turned on the mask during the pandemic. You have the best hearing movie is the Cable Guy.

I can hitter Tim Horton and I did have a trivia question about Canadian It is the number one fast place in Canada. Tim Hortons is, Yeah, I think so as far as most. But we couldn't get Tim Hortons delivered unless we want Christina to drive to Manitoba, which I'm fine with. Yeah, why if she gets here

by nine? But Nuggets, I just wanted to congratulate Luca Dutch on destroying the Kings last night and let him know I'm about to beat his son, Devin Booker tonight gold map school, Yeah, scoreboard watch tonight, Nugs and sons. The sons keep losing, that'd be cool. Uh here you great point about the first pitch thrown out. I think it would have been awesome to see Dirk then Madonna are actually maybe Aikman then Dirk, then Madonna will

know Aikman, Dirk then Madonna is that their order? I don't remember anyways, and then Corey seeher throws out the last pitch. That would have been awesome. Okay, I gotta say some of these, some of these are reading a transcription of that was awesome. Because I've got the neural link. I can see that what they're going to say, and it read out as Madonna. Oh that's why I downloaded and played it because I thought Madonna throwing the first pitch, she was just in town. She's two hours late for

the first pitch. Just moody. Uh, that's all for today. Good job, dude. I do want to promote tomorrow's show because we have legends he own if he's in the Hall of Fame, Tom, do your research research for the interview tonight, you know, Tom, Tom Glavin at eight o'clock were you're having Rangers VP of Marketing Marshall Moscado on.
