We're on at six am every morning, so once you get to work, go ahead and fire us up on the stream on your work desktop, or listen live on the radio. You know, just I wan't
to let you know though. We're on six am every single day. Kevin Turner, Danny Baylist, Mike's Roy, We've got JJ Jackson as well, and we are going to get into the big Senate audio fight or Senate fight, and we have audio of it, and we'll play that for you a second. I want to hit a couple short quickies, okay. I also will remind you of two things though one hour away. Coveyols, Carolina Cup. Okay, it'll make sense later. But a chance to win concert tickets.
They have four pairs of concert tickets that I'm willing to dole out today. The rules are you have to get two of my three questions correct. So each person, each caller will have a set of three questions. You got to get two of them correct. But you are given a Danni O or a Michy OCRD you can, I'll get one of them. Well, that's one, right, and you can play it. You can play your Danio or Michy ocard to help you with the question. And it's Carolina because
the Cowboys are playing at Carolina taking the Panthers. So that's why Sundays that's kind of the Carolina town. Yeah, and Carolina rhymes with cup. True that dude you mentioned, uh when you play that Burt Chrysler audio Matt Rife in town tonight really Yeah, that was a funnel time fort Worth Will Rogers Auditorium tonight, good Lord, two shows seven and ten and then pavilion at Toyota Music Factory tomorrow. Great, everyone take your grandma. And that's a
big, huge then, yeah, big. I never even heard of him until Bert brought him up last night on a comic golf f one show. You there's a lot of people I've never heard us. Well, if you have a your on Netflix show, I mean that's a pretty high level. Yeah. But now I'm talking about the events that he's playing. I mean, two shows Will Rogers and then where'd you say Toyota Toyota Good Gravy tonight and tomorrow. Bring your grandma, bring a grammy pill love it. Oh
yes. Cowboys news. First, Leyton vander Rash is out for the season and it could be his entire career as he has finals stepsis and apparently it's very painful. Yeah, and I don't know, man neck. Probably he's got a history of neck problems, but even dating back to college at Boise State, So I don't know if he'll return from this or not. But
he's out for the year. I'll fly free, young bird. Dude, your watch has ended, and I'm sure you know, give him a coaching job or something if he wanted to stay in there to bow hunt or whatever you do up at home, Go do it. Go get that ranch you already probably have it. Don't hurt your neck anymore. You're done. You're done, dude. Good work, seriously, like applaud good effort. He got a bad beat on a recurring neck injury. That doesn't jibe well with
playing NFL linebacker. Dude, don't you know? I mean, I supposed to do whatever you want, but yeah, do you want? But just you need the downbeats permission. Layton and everyone said seun Wi will be a coach the minute he's done, he'll be a coach. Chum Lee's not, and I don't know what Chumley prized. He's not. I was one of those guys. Oh, I mean I think everyone was. I thought by now he'd be defensive coordinator of the cow but he might just be. Like
being retired is nice. Yeah, he's going to fish shows with his wife. Didn't Jerry somewhat blame that injury on Trent Williams? Is that right? Oh? That was just from this year's If Jerry wanted to said, it's fine. Lighton had been and there were risks with coming back and even trying to play this year, yea, or last year? I think it was your because he you know, I thought he was done two years ago. Rearly stopped him from being drafted in the draft. I remember that coming up
in discussion. It was October eighth, and Trent Williams seemingly pushed him from behind. It sent him into to Micah and caused him to jam his neck on on Micah's leg. It's football, man, yea, Yeah, football for a reason, But was it unnecessary? I don't know. It's football for a reason. Basketball maps got wiped out last night. They play again tonight, though, okay, so quickly rebound. It was gonna be tough to beat the Pelicans twice on the road, especially after you smoked them over
the weekend. You smoked them on Sunday night, and then apparently Zion Williamson was pissed and the Pelicans had very spirited communications and the next day of like, we're not getting run by these dudes again. So the Mavericks didn't have lot of a chance last night when you look at what New Orleans was ready to do to them, Mavericks didn't come out and play well or quite frankly,
play very hard in the first half and they got ran. That's okay, back at since Matter eight and three and looked great Rangers has come out that would you know, were you going to save any of this for Dingo's Morning News or everything? No, go ahead, I'll wipe through or what bally is. Basically, they're in bankruptcy court and if a judge does approve, then this will be the final year of the Rangers on Bali. They will be on a new carrier in twenty twenty five. Okay, so it's
not fully official yet, but it will be soon. When a judge and their bankruptcy court thing pushes it through. So Rangers on Bally for one more year and then they are in the clear. Does that mean our likely our long national nightmare is over? Like, well, based something we can watch at least for baseball, you would think, Man, we are going to look back on the Bally era as a black mark on local sports? Did it start when I was so when I was called Fox Sports Southwest? We
we could always get it right, Yes, it was on. Well, it depends what your carrier was. But like, for instance, because a lot of people have direct TV and just they have it, and like I don't know what the problem is, or people that have Spectrum cable or whatever, go I have it. I don't know what the problem is. But there are people like myself who have YouTube TV had it and then it was stripped away from you and unable to add it and then you try to go
add it on the app and you couldn't get it with baseball. Now if you get paid for the Ballet app right now, I stand alone app. Right now you could watch the MAVs and the Stars, but not Rangers. Those are the most frustrating thing with me. I have MAVs and Stars in April, but I can't watch the Rangers too. I'm paying twenty dollars a
month with this, then I'm done. Screw it all though, one more year of fighting through the Bally mess and then you can for baseball for baseball, yeah, which you can't watch it on their app anyway, And Cuban had made comment, yeah, Sid, it's so stupid. And Cubanan had kind of made some comments too recently about you know, once the contract's done, will be we'll have another option. We'll be looking at other options,
which are already looking at other options for the maps too. Ballisian around money. That Bally here never made a lot of sense to me anyways, because gambling is not legal and they are built around gambling. Well, how about they bought all the damn networks just to associate their name with it. So when they did get their mobile app or whatever gambling angle like, they were way ahead of this and at least around here, all they've done is pissed
kill their name and associate it with sport failure and a greed. On some level, I would say the app is not very good either. It's like using it in the past. Isn't there some I don't know, isn't There's some blame that should go to the teams that willingly entered into agreement with this company knowing good well that they took the money and ran right. Well, here's the thing, I get the highest offer in ran. They had to
have known that. Okay, now, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers, this is how the public is going to be able to consume your sport over the next or the duration of this contract. What I don't know's some money. Are you cool with this? And they said yes. So here's what I think. I think it was out of their hands because they were in an agreement with Fox Sports Southwest, who was taken over by Bali. Why so the deals that the teams have, I believe is with the Diamond Sports Group,
which is the parent company of Bally. So if the deal is with them, whatever happens under that doesn't matter. This is the same thing as the Rangers and the Mavericks being on Fox Sports Southwest. That would have been I always felt, and I may be completely off base, but we've talked to Mark about this in person a number of years ago, and it's always like I wish there was something I could do. I just feel like there's something that could have happened, that could have been done to prevent this.
So yeah, I get it. Valley's took over forts Fox Sports, Southwest Right and other Fox Sports regional networks, but they did not keep its status quo. They changed the rules in midstream, and I cannot believe there wasn't more influence and uproar from the most powerful companies in this country, being major sports networks, to do something about this, to ensure that their teams could have eyes on them in their markets with much more ease than we've had to
deal with in the recent years. I just feel like there's more that could have been done, And I may be wrong. You might be wrong. What's more powerful Avericks or Bally's. I mean maybe maybe just not having the reputation of someone who would reach your contract, you know, maybe that could affect things. Well, if you can't do anything business with them, they're they'll get out of their contract. I don't know. Come wrong, big
fight yesterday in the Senate. Come on, okay, now the uh the people here involved in this are Representative Mullen from Oklahoma, and then he's going up against a guy who is from the company Teamsters, the president of Teamsters. Now, first of all, it's important to know that Mullen's first name is Mark Wayne. One word, really, Mark Wayne Mullen. And he is a senator. Yes, he's a senator from Oklahoma. Okay, okay.
Now he is getting into it with Sean O'Brien, who is the Teamsters president, and they had gotten into some beef on Twitter that you will hear about months ago. Danny any of the cored I'm sorry, let me crank this up here. J Jakes, I've pulled the audio into three cuts. Here, Bernie Sanders is the judge trying to keep things civil. So here is the voice of Mark Wayne Mullen, the representative from Oklahoma. Uh, Sean O'Brien, the Teamster's president of the guy kind of has a New York
accent. You'll be able to hear him. He sounds like a Sobrano's character, and Mark Wayne Mullen sounds very country. And he's bringing up some beef that they had on Twitter from months ago. Now, let's talk about mister O'Brien himself, his behavior. Everybody knows this. Here in the last time him and I kind of had a back and forth. Appreciate your demeanor today it's quite different. But after you left here you got pretty excited about the keyboard. In fact, you tweeted at me one, two, three,
four five times. And let me read what the last one said, said greedy ceo who pretends like he's self made. So I wish he was in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company myself and my wife is running the office, because I should remember, working pretty hard in long hours. Pretends like he's self made. What a clown fraud, always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in the Senate hearings.
You know where to find me any place, anytime, cowboy sor this is a time, this is a place if you want to run your mouth. We can be too consenting adults, so we can finish it here. Okay, that's fine, perfect, you want to do it now. I'd love to do it right now. We'll stand your butt up. Then you stand up, but them, oh, hold stop it, Oh no, sit down. Okay, you know your United States sent it active. Okay, sit down please all right? Can I responded? Hold it? Okay,
Bernie, so Mark Wade Mullin stands up. He stands up, because stand up and we'll handle it here. I love it, and I love the very childish to come back from O'Brien, who goes you stand your butt up after the guys already stood up, because it's very you get to hear when Mark Wade Mullen stands up here. Okay, that's fine, perfect, you want to do it now, I'd love to do it right now. We'll stand your butt up. Then you stand your butt up. Hold on, stop it, sit down there, No, Joe just came on.
Okay, you're a senator. Sit down, which is wild. Your stands up and challenges the guy to a fight. Now there's part two. Can I respond? No, you can't. This is a hearing. God knows the American people have enough contempt. But Congress, let's not dogs. And I don't like you. Could you describe yourself? Hold it? Okay? First of all, okay, it sounds like gronk. He's a nasty bit terrible comeback. You just described yourself rugs and duties, and I don't like
you. Could you describe yourself? Hold it? You have the mic, you have time, all right, Just statement and let's do this, because I did challenge you, and I accepted your challenge and you went quiet. No, I didn't go quiet. I was you challenged me to a cage mash, acting like a twelve year old school Hold it, no, excuse me, I will say, I will say, I have the mic. We're not here to talk about physical abuse. I want to expose this thug
to who he is. And you're not pointing me. That's disrespectful. I don't care about respecting you at all. I don't respect you at all. Sorry, hold it, let me hold it? No, okay, what is her? Childish? All the account we're getting there? I love what have we been saying? The world is wrestling? Is? It is happening? It's all happened. The Teamsters guy who is you know he's taking I mean he's on the stand basically taking. He's getting asked questions, but he
goes. Can you not point at me? That's disrespectful. It's very child is to go that route. We're not here to talk about physical abuse. I want to expose this thug to who he is. If you're not pointing me, that's disrespectful. All right, I don't care about respecting you at all, respect you at all. Sorry, hold it, let me hold it, Okay, Bernie, let's use our inside voices. He's got the
hammer. Bernie's got his wooden gabbl it's out of stadium. How dumb that we have to have that thing in every court room or this senate hearing my little wooden circle with my wooden mallet. That'll show you that's kind of work. There's that's weird. Don't don't do it? Did gavels? It kind of didn't work as much because you're gonna hear the gavel a lot in this clip. Now we'll stop and started a little bit. But here's the grand finale. Because you called me out. I didn't call you out. He
said, any time any place. That's that. Let's get the records straight. Mis hold it, No, hold on, senner the mullen. Do you have a question for the witness? Okay, let's let's hear it. So any time any plays, No, that's April is a charity event. No, that's not that's not. No, it's he said it, and he is here. No caremeers and what the questions can or cannot be asked? No, you're not going to We're not going to be talking about physical
confrontation. This is about charity for a union, charity because if you have a question on April we actually you have question on his Let's not he said it simply answering it. Hold it, send Mullen, you made some charges. Okay, before we move on. Bernie's just sick of everyone. What about the idea of, look, we can do this for firefighters charity.
It's not a physical confrontation. It's charity. And there's poor old ass Bernie Sanders sitting there looking around going why am I still giving a damn about anything? Right now? I am so long ago. If yes, those people are special, who the people who still have hope? I know? Yeah, I don't get it. He seems like the one dude that is in it. Maybe for the right reasons, and I may be completely fooled. I don't know, but it seems like why, what does he have to
gain? What does he have to prove anymore? Well? No, no, hold some modicum of civility in that whole it's yeah, admitted. I don't know the details of this case and I don't care. But Senator Mark Wayne Mullen or Millan of Yeah, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma kept saying, well, this is your guy. You're you're the one who asked him to testify. He kept using that too as oh, why can I talk to him? Bernie? You're the one who wanted him to be here.
And Bernie's probably going because he was a guy who's important to the case. I didn't know you were gonna challenge him to a fight. And he's the leader of the Teamsters union. It makes sense. So he's a pretty jack to Mark Wayne Mullen when he got up, he's a pretty big boy. He was ready to go to give me him minus three point fifty. I would take Sean O'Brien though, just the I don't know man. He looked like he's a member of the goon squad. See this is what Taylor Swift
is gonna do when she discovers Britney's old tweets. We'll do it for firefighter, I would say. Generally is clustered as our government is and all this, they don't throw down. But in other countries like Japan, yeah, you've seen a lot of highlights of them attacking some dude. He's just both fists on the microphone, clinging to that thing, screaming stuff in there.
And even I think parliaments has had more physical dust ups, right, maybe where they're ripping powder wigs off, Like I think this happens, Like many people would guess that we're the biggest cluster government in the world, but physical altercations are not completely out of the ordinary and other countries but you don't see it here too much. And maybe that's just that's our destiny. We finally getting caught up, whereas in Britain they're still wearing wigs. Yeah, yeah,
what the hell wigs? Who's wearing wigs? And if you talk, if you interrupt, they like the they want to kick you out. Yeah, and we're supposed to be We're just getting very very removed from where we came from. Yeah, are we though, Well I don't know. I mean maybe where government came from, but not civility as we've known it. No, no, No, My point My point being is, you know, our government is derived from Great Britain. Now it's ruled by Great Britains.
What I'm saying is if we've you know, disassociated with that from you know, the mid seventeen seventies until now, It just seems like they're still at least trying to hold some bit of decorum to be the status quo with wigs. Yeah, we're challenging Teamster's union leaders to fist fights. Let's keep it going there. Do you want to respond? Yeah? Go ahead, yeah, I mean, look, the reality of it is tough. Guy.
Answer hold it? Answer the questions all right? Your one if I he he made a lot of statements, right, and his statements of fiction at best fiction? What oh? Answer the question? Please? I can't understand him, to be honest with you. He rambles so much. What was your question? Actually? Except well you said I made a lot of statements. But what's your question? I don't understand the question. Could you repeat it? You said any time any place? What's your question? Accept
the challenge? What challenge? You said? Any time any place? I'm accepting yours? So once you can what challenge? What challenge? Youre talking? April thirtieth? How about we do it for charity at the smoking guns in talls? Oklamba, We're not going to be physical confrontations here. You want to fight me? What do you say? By any time any place? Let's have coffee discuss our differences. Yeah, that's right, exact, all right, we let's don't have coffee. Let's love it. I love
funny how you're back. Okay, I don't back on anything you did. You're the one, You're a one hundred, should be the most influential people in this country. That's why with you have the biggest s thug. Yeah brought he brought. Hit me up. All right, you have the biggest stug. Even why what you're doing, Senator, thank you very much, his Senator Mullen. Please yield, please yield. Beautiful. People are texting in sad. People are texting and saying that, uh Mark Wayne Mullin is
a no wonder. He's what to fight and in the Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame, he'd smoke that fat boy o. God the wrestler goes to Congress. But as far as the Battle of the wits, I'm on team Teamsters. Yeah, he did better, a lot better. It's also childish, all of it though, But then I could understand him. He rambles so much, and he played the high road of physical altercation. What are you talking about? Let's have coffee discourse. He did have a little little red
riding, but like a law man. Had he had the paper review date set? Yeah, the location what was it at? At barbar guns is smoking guns barils barbar Bills in Tulsa on April thirtieth. He's already got the fight poster made. Bob Stoops will be there. He's gonna announce it. Special guest referee, the bos Rocky Kalmus, the hell oh man, We'll be fighting for the Barry Switzer belt. Yeah, the Switz the title. Good god, crazy, you know. Let's see what happened, Holy cow.
