This is a down dat on ninety seven to one, the freak. I nearly had to call Detective Dick Shale out to the house yesterday anytime twenty four to seven because I don't sleep. I just crack skulls, solve crimes. And f it's fourth quarter, you go back to the lab. All the hits, crack skulls back to the lab. Back to the lab will penetration. Here's the twist, and there is a twist. So fourth quarter of the Cowboy again. This thing's come down to the wire. So you get
amped up. As we talked about earlier, the weather has changed. Sunset in the five PM hour, it's getting dark. I don't have any light on in my house. Okay, I'm watching in the darkness alone. Why don't have any Why didn't you have any lights on it? It kind of start kind of lights the games kind of happened. Yeah, time the sun goes down, you realize there's no lights and what are you going to do?
Stand up? And usually I have you know, I do a lot of you know, went to like natural light in you have to throw the throw the blinds up. You know. Sometimes there's no glare on your TV, not where not where my TV's positioned thatmark. So it gets dark on me outside of the laptop I've got in front of my place. I'm burning off all my semens sperms. Yeah and good as it gets darker, but i keep hearing this noise and I'm like, what is so a commercial?
I finally get up. I poked my head out, oh, I said, you know, scream and walk out of the driveway and I see what appears to be a drone outside of your house, yes and Richardson, And I'm like, Okay, that's definitely too low to be a helicopter. It's kind of close, but it's only moving. And then I see probably one hundred yards but it's hard to tell from where how much higher the helicopter was them the drone flying over back and forth, the spotlight out a helicopter,
So I'm separate from the drone. Yes, So I'm going, holy cow, this is pretty wild and it's loud. And I go back in watching the game and I'm like, man, this is getting louder and it's getting closer. I go with, the drone is closer. Now you can see
it. Helicopter is going back and forth and it is so loud. So I do what anyone does in a situation like this, and I get on next door app because if anyone's gonna know what's going on, it's definitely gonna be a bunch of stay at home moms, the oldies get worked up hop it on an app and trying to figure it out. So many posts? Does anyone know what's going on at the corner of blank and Blank? Like?
Is that all of their through crime website? Oh my? For the little things in there, you know, for packaged pirates and uh lost cats. Uh, just the closest thing they're going to get to being involved in the bought coyote sidings are huge in fact now people do. But it's one guy took a picture and it's a meme of a huge ass mountain lion sitting at a table and his belly's kind of perched up. He's smoking a cigar. It's a meme. Okay. In my yard, people are just jagging
with the old the old ladies. It's just kind of funny. What's up with the constant helicopter circling around blank and blank? Okay, Well that's what Brandy posted on next door app. Go through you have people waiting and they escaped from behind my house. There are six police cars rounding the neighbors house behind me, don't you know. So I'm sitting there going, Okay, we've gotten man hunt happening in my neighborhood, so I'm locking up. Rocks
wasn't at the house. I was like, Yo, if you're headed home, we've got a man hunt in our neighborhood, so don't just get out of your car. Yeah you know, let me No, No, you said, I do have a garage, but I've crapp in my garage. It's more a storage than it is a place to store a car. So Roxanna is not safe and can't use the garage for safety. She has a tiny car, so she could if she needed to. But she is at risk, definitely risk. I always like to assume that she's at risk,
just in case. It keeps me in superhero mode all day. I hear that, but I'm pretty sure Rocks could kick your ass. Yes, it was one on one. I'm scared of her. Well, need to protect you, I have no doubt. Speaking of superhero, did you think about putting on the Caveo outfit and heading out to the neighborhood to solve this crime, so solve this man hunt. Yes, because I had gotten flight information. Someone had tracked down that the Dallas Police had sent a helicopter to the
scenario. I sent you the picture and we had pretty much nailed down where they were looking for this delinquent in the creek off of J near JJ Pierce High School. How far is out from your home yards? Yards like the unit of measure or a few thousands of yards, but under I would get you under ten thousand years within a mile. Let's just say it's all. This is all within a mile, within a mile. And do we know
what the scumbag was on the lamb for. We don't know. Okay, not confirmed, But I will tell you what the reckless speculation is off of the next door app It's that it was a sixteen year old who stole his uncle's car. So he got arrested and then somehow wiggled away from the police and took off running. But he was in handcuffs. Now this is not fully confirmed. Okay, hold on, I'm gonna show you the picture of the Mountain Lion real quick. I just found it and the guy said,
this isn't my, Oh my god, what the hell? Whose cat is on my porch? And why is he smoking my swish or sweets? With intentional misspellings about the call animal control? What do people responded? Barbara respond to that, Oh my god, where is this? We don't have mountain ones in Texas? Where are you? Could you be a bobcat? These mobcats are getting big. It's just stuff like that, you know, which
is you know true bobcats can get big and can be dangerous. But yeah, they think it was a kid who had gotten loose, and I think he was caught because the helicopter really stopped. This went on for over an hour though, like it was still going on for about twenty or thirty minutes after the Cowboys game ended. Just like, okay, get ready, because what if you know, first thing you do is you you go lights on
in the front and back right? Is that what you did? It was locked up, but lights on in the front back, because they're not going to run to a place that's lit to illuminate your home. That's that's what they say. If you're ever parking anywhere, or just park underneath the light post even just so if someone could see them. They're not going to look for dark areas, that's what you're thinking now. I found out this morning was when I found out the speculation was that it was a sixteen year old
kid. At the time, I'm thinking it's cavalcante. Yeah, I'm thinking it's a heavily armed guy. Could do some damage. So what actions did you take? Did you illuminate your home or just sit there? You really want to know. You gave it four clicks on the volume to drown out the helicopter, and I was sitting there, going, I want to go out and get something to eat, or do I need to like just go make a sandwich or something? Yeah, where'd you go with fluffer nutter?
You made a fluffer nutter for dinner? Is that peanut butter and marshmallow? Sure? Is Jesus you really you had that? I had it. I've been craving it for a long time. A f for a night. I was like, it's about to get warm again. It's a good winter sandwich. I've never met some one has actually made one of those. I've only had one. Yesterday was your first one? No, it was my second one. Okay, I had only had one. When was that last year?
One year ago to the date. Yep, I was celebrating, yes, and you went and purchased like a marshmallows spread, Yes, which is terrible for you. Yeah, that doesn't sound real good. And peanut butter, which I love peanut butter, but it also not great. They laking line tell you it's got a little proof to you or whatever. You know. Peanut butter is kind of like when you put syrup in your body. I don't know exactly sides. I think nuts might be one of the keys
to health because nuts, but peanut butter is not nuts. We should think about our stomachs. I've decided this, like, there's so much crap you can read online, but what's good for you? What's bad for you? Blah blah blah. Here's what's good for you. Something that won't stick to your body on the inside. Imagine it going through, something that just goes right through. If anything that sticks, it sticks, it builds up. You get bigger and wider. That's what I think. I truly believe that
sugar sticky. They say you stay away from sugar number one things, stay away from starches, a little sticky. They tell you not to drink sodas? What is soda? What do you think sodas are sticky? You ever spilled one? What happens to it? When it dries up? It gets sticky. So when you have syrup on your pancakes, I think it's sticky. And so he don't get energy, can't anything going. There might be some correlations. I think I'm right. I'm sure we can think of something
that would be considered sticky that is incredibly healthy. Though. Is there any nutrition experts who went a weigh in on that? I think I'm right on the sticky theory. But yeah, if you know anything about the missing person who was hiding in a creek, we think he was hiding in a creek in Richardson Manhunt you last night. I don't know if it's solved. I haven't said seen anyone report on this. When you get off today, you need to go home and check that creek. Look for footprints. I would,
but look. But yesterday on next door app a guy posted a copperhead in a heavily wooded area and he's like, hey, I know it's November, just keep an eye out. They are moving. I'll tell you what that copperhead was blending. In with the leaves and the terrain, and it was just a thought. I was like, I don't think I want to go look through the creek today. Plus there's a mountain lying on a loose No, you could burn you with a cigar. It's your local stay,
very very safe. Okay. So I saw this going around Mike and I actually this took off a little bit too on our in our Facebook a nice and one of the Facebook listener group that you can join in there too, and people were talking about it. John Haman, it's Hayman. Yeah, it was in front of easy one. Some people don't say it that way though. John Hayman says that the Rangers, Dodgers, I believe Padres are
the favorites. No, I'm sorry, Rangers, Dodgers, Mariners the favorites to land sho Hee Otani, who's a free agent obviously pitcher and outfielder, doesn't won't be pitching this year. He's gonna have Tommy John surgery, I believe, but he'll be hitting. And today Bob Nightingale mentioned the Dodgers again as the overwhelming favorite. The Cubs have been thrown in the mix. The Red Sox have been thrown into the mix, but either way, Otani is
seen as a top five favorite for to Land. I mean to get Otani. Yeah, I'm looking right now. It's among the odds places. New York Posts has him at six to one. That's tied with the Dodgers and Giants. But then the one I which is I think the one you're referencing, said that the Rangers might be his preferred destination. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of things you can think about when it comes to Tani. The first thing I'll say is he's amazing, and we don't have a salary
cap in baseball, so you should want it. I saw a lot of people saying, well, we don't want it because, okay, it didn't go off of the Angels, and what if it stops us from keeping people. He's gonna stop it from keeping anybody because Simeon and Seeger are here, okay, and that's your core. Evan Carter won't be a free agent four years. Adulie Scarcia won't be a free agent four years. Josh Young won't
be a free agent four years. So you're gonna lose maybe Mitch Garver, right, who's your DH Now like your dh would be Otani next year. Yeah, and he could play every game if he wanted to. Now, the Rangers there is a payroll tax. Did you know about that? Yeah? I don't know exactly know how it works, but I know that it's you know, they're right around what two hundred ten million I'm singing for next
year. That's their projected payroll and there's a tax threshold coming up in about forty million dollars from now, and if you hit it, what does that mean? Then it would go up. So if you hit your h they paid two million this year, okay in payroll taxes, so it would be something more than that. Probably, I'm just gonna say, for the sake of it, four million, But I don't know, and I only get
into the minutia of all that stuff. The point is that four million dollars would be covered in so many ways, A full on attendance next season as you're defending champions, b everyone buying all your Ranger stuff because you're the champions. And see the economic impact of Shoho Tani joining your market. Any tax does not matter. Now what you pay him is going to be a record
breaking deal, and you have a lot of payroll in your books. But don't you kind of think it's all kind of set up to still be good as long as the pitching pretty much remains. What's our time frame on this, It's pretty soon, right When is baseball five days leave? Okay, well, no, that's when the Winter meetings are, so free agency starts.
Let's see here it begins. When does MLB free agency begin? It's like it's coming soon, like it's in November, because then they can't sign with a new team until five days after the conclusion of the World Series. So yeah, it's happening soon. And if you think so, he's not going to pitch next season, no, because of the injury. But he
can hit. He can hit fine, right, He's basically good for forty homers and one hundred and whatever one hundred RBI Jesus Evan Carter and Marcus Simeon see here, Otani and whatever order Wyatt and that's leaving out, Yeah, super prospect. Why at Langford Adelixerci is Josh Josh Young. Josh Young hit eighth on this team again like he just did. And it's just money, just money? Is it? Will you think with the I mean, is
it ten years for forty four hundred million. Is that even enough? I think you have to get to five hundred million, ten years, five hundred million. When you do that, if you're the oil and eye, yeah, you're the oil man. Hal drey Davis, he's pretty old. He looked old and on the barely hold the trophy. He was born in nineteen forty one. That would make him eighty two years old. He just turned
eighty two. So if you how about if you said Otani will never pitch again, what do you because his agent won't let him sign that deal, right, you can't. They want to get paid for what he is. Yeah, even if it's a dream of him pitching year after next, he should sign a short term deal. Then I think he is looking to crack the bank wide open. I mean hot sports opinion there. But I don't think he's looking for short term. But I don't know why he would look
and say his preferred destination as the Rangers. I'm what, six straight losing seasons and then this, And yes, I get that the arrow is pointed, I mean the airs pinned in the right direction. Yeah, after last week, But he's been here enough over the years, like he knows this place. And I mean, if that's really true or is he saying it because his agent is whispering? Dude, they will do it, and it might mean five hundred million dollars over ten years. He's twenty nine. This
is the last three years a war of eight, nine and nine. So he gives you nine wins a year. His projection from the athletic twelve years, five hundred and twenty million, twelve five twenty okay, so sign him until he's forty one and maybe not useful to you. That's twelve years. So that's forty eight forty three, thirty six seven, has a pencil out forty three point three million dollars. I mean that's what Sure's remans, right, forty church or forty three million dollars. Uh? I mean, yeah,
hey, I love it. I mean, and if you do that, I mean, if I don't know if the Rangers are considered the team to beat right now going into next season, I know they're not technically the favorite to win the World Series again, but they're real close. But you do that, you are You're the sexiest thing in the sport. And it sounds like any team that tells him, well, we're only got it is a hitter. We're not gonna let you pitch. He's okay, I'm not
going there like he wants to pitch. I know he does, favorite story, but he wants the contract that pays him as both too, So he's not gonna ever publicly agree to that. So why wouldn't he just do five at four hundred million or three hundred million, and then sign another one when he's thirty four and play the first year just as a hitter and then do both for the remaining huh and then see where he's at from there? That would he'd get more than five hundred and twenty million, right if we're going
off the twelve year five hundred and twenty million projection. Yeah, I guess we don't know what the hell contracts are going to be in four or five years, so he could an on field value. The Athletic does project he would be seventy million dollars as a hitter and a pitcher. Okay, So if it was twelve it's seventy zero four eight jeez, zero four one seven eight hundred and forty million, Okay, So somewhere between twelve years somewhere between
five hundred and twenty and eight hundred and forty million. That's like the attendance at the Raiders Prey but somewhere between five hundred and twenty and eight hundred and forty thousand people. It's just such a crazy number that, yes, I still want it because it's awesome, but that's enough too. And then yeah, I mean, you're smart to bring up Ray Davis's age because you do
that, it doesn't work, he's hurt. Whatever. That's enough to change how you do things for the rest of your life, you know, like how you like, we ain't ever doing anything like that again. But he's old, so he's different. Though. When the Angel signed Poohole, how old was How old was he? I mean, I don't know, but then that deal happened, he could he couldn't run anymore. Tony's still a good athlete. He probably played first base for you if you need him to.
I thought he could probably do that easily. He probably not now, but later. You know, I have a hard time caring about anything else. In the city of Arlington built the stadium, Like keep going back to that. The city of Arreton paid for that with their taxes. So if you're aug to resident there is a salary cap. The concerns where you wouldn't be able to sign other people. I think you would be able to sign other people. I don't think that would affect you being able to do it,
because hypothetically you're still good. And this is where the greedy thing comes in. After going fifty two years of not winning a single World Series, hell going nearly thirty years that winning a postseason series? Okay, actually, oh my god, going forty years without winning a postseason series. Why not get this dynasty fired up here? No completely, two, three, four, five, six, go sing Your and Simeon are not going anywhere.
Evan Carter, Adols, Josh Young like Atolies is twenty eight. He can't be a free agent until he's like thirty two, like he's None of these guys are going anywhere. You have them. You're pitching is your only question. And I've got a lot of money going to pitching already. That is questionable. Yes, aging pitching, that's very injury prone. What about you could sign two guys to the same deals as you signed Simeon and Seeger for
about the same as some of these numbers being whispered for. Otawni yeah, I don't know who those guys are, you know, or you could sign three Simons, Well, Jordantgomery might be one of them. Right, Simon got seven for one seventy five. Let's see if I think I have the uh Prichard you rather have three Simeon equivalent players? I said, the Jordan Montgomery projected contract is five years at one hundred and five million. Yeah,
I don't know. Simon was five at one seventy five twenty one million dollars for Jordan Montgomery, that's absolutely the market for him. And I think if you offered him five at one hundred, I think he would consider what's he of all these deals? He was like two at four? Are you a free agent? Though? It was like, what do we have him for one year? We have him for one more year? Okay? He was two years. Sonny Gray is a name that's out there, three years at
seventy two million to twenty four. Marcus Stroman is a name, three years at sixty three million. These are just projections. Aaron Nola is the picture for the Phillies. Usually six at one eight is his projection? So thirty million a year? Right, Yeah, so you could do Aaron Nola and a great and Jordan Montgomery. Yeah, you could do Aaron Nola and Jordan Montgomery and not worry about the offense because why at Langford's coming, Yes,
and then have Era. You know, then if you have you have all the Aaron, Nola and Montgomery. In that case, it's almost a luxury of Shurezer and de Gram who both have ceilings just as high as any of those dudes. Top five market, we said all the time, Top five everything. We are in projections in twenty years maybe the biggest market in the world in the United States, yep. Possibly, Yeah, we did that was passing Chicago to get into the top three. That could happen by twenty
thirty. Yep. Where it's La New York and DFW. That could happen by twenty thirty. Yes, And in fifty years or less, we will be the largest metroplex in the United States of America. And we'll probably have exploded by then. But we don't worry about melted all melted by then. I don't know. It's fascinating, it's fun, contestedt Well, we've done
enough here. This segment's talked about Alamo Draft House Cinema. You can go see Diner with the Speakeasy on November fifteenth at the Alamo Draft House over the Cedars.
