Ding sings things eight thirty, including the Christmas song that you might have forgotten, not I won't be home for Christmas for mister Day's downbeat singing Christmas tree toppers? Which one was up? I don't remember them by title? There there's a wave of that was the sad jazz song at the end that Kevin had to break the uncomfortable isles by letting us that toe muncher was following us on TikTok.
Now. I actually got to hear that this morning on the way in or in the five am hour, and it was good timing because it got us out of a what do we do now? I just killed himself before Chris Mighty banging his fists on the desk. I was half of it was your voice was beautiful in the song, so it was like a legit beautiful song and then waiting for something glorious to happen. And once you heard the moral of the story, it didn't take long. You wouldn't be home for
christ. That Ponzi scheme was not not a good plan. So there you go. Let's do go Sports at seven? Right now, let's go now Sports at seven? Did Luca let one slip on TV? We'll get to that in a second.

stuff, Mike McCarthy yesterday had to have emergency surgery for an appendectomy. Appendectomy, Yeah, appendectomy, to make sure that A's appendix didn't burst. It was creating, for a second, the possibility of a bones Fossil coach game with Brian Shottenheimer calling plays, which no we get dan Quinn dude, maybe you know he did all the interviews yesterday. He sees the mantle. I just think the on field operation. I think dan Quinn would have stayed up
in the booth if it came to game day on Sunday night. That's interesting. And I think the on field operation would have been shot in Imer calling plays and John bones Fossil. That's interesting. I actually he's calling for fake punts on second and twelve. I can't coach McCarthy, just coach via zoom. That happened, right, did in some college coach coach from a hospital bed? I think it was in Iowa? Right, No, it was
Hugh Freeze. He's waving down from his hospital bed, laid up, just one real moment if he couldn't if he's not capable and dan Quinn is the acting head coach or temper whatever they call it intern not intern, but but the difference of Quinn moving down from his normal that screws things up. Yeah, so you're right, So he would technically be the head coach, but
he would be up in the I think that's how they would go. The way they described it too is I think they'll stay away from labels because they said Brian Schottenheimer and Dan Quinn are running practice yesterday, is the way they put it. Yeah, your on field head coach would be bones. Okay, he's got the I think his other titles assistant head coach, is it? Yeah, I think it is. I think it's more than special teams coach. That happened to a brother Cash a couple of years ago. The
emergency appendectomy. That's right, I remember that because that means it's on the brink of bursting. Yes, to my if I remember correctly, he's said the doctor said it's perforated and could could the damn could bust at any minute, and that's bad news. Yeah. Well, I don't know if like, I don't think no, because yes, it's yes, it's bad news if you got it sit Yeah, I don't think it's like I don't know if it's risk of death. I don't believe. So it's like a rattlesnake
bite. You get bit and you gotta go now. Yeah, but like you need to go because you hear that my appendix burst. But I guess they caught his coincidentally. I think I don't know if he had stomach issue or what. But they were like the next morning he was in surgery and they are. You know, it's a relatively common procedure, but it's still a big boy man. They open sesame and move this, move this, take this out. I've been thinking about a couple of things. Oh we
even have that damn thing. Yeah, come on, evolution, get your head together. No, well, we're not supposed to do, but we needed it back in the day for what for when we were eating like nothing, well, like you're eating grass and undercooked rabbit meat. It's it's a caveman evolution. Dry it's a caveman thing, and that is what an appendix did. Now we don't need it because we don't eat that. In the appendix ground there for beetles to help process grass and uncooked rabbit meat. I
don't know that for sure. I'm just saying, like now that we eat like normal people rather than scavengers, we don't need the appendix anymore. I can tell you that with certainty. It's just a little thing. I'm learning that right now. I thought the appendix was like a you know, like look like a liver, you know, like about the same size and shape or little finger that hangs off of your large intestine. I didn't know that until right now. Yeah, it is just a little dangler. It's a
lot hang. But it does have a function. Uh what does the appendix do? Not completely clear. Some scientists say that the appendix plays a significant role in immune and a digestive health and also for rabbit. I gestion you're saying that you're singing that more often and grass peoper eating rabbit more. That's the new duck. Ducks have been on a good run for a while. But they're a little more gamy than I prefer. You know, they're real fatty. Oh yeah, they're fatty. I don't like. Well whatever,
So I was thinking about this. He has this whole narrative that if the cowboys don't go as far as they're supposed to go, then McCarthy's gonna get his ass run because Jerry's fed up and it's year four out of five year contract and they were considering, you know, there were at least rumors of him even last year than being like, damn it, maybe we'll just make
dan Quinn the coach or something like that. We shouldn't think that. And the reason I think we shouldn't think that is because they let Jason Garrett do whatever the hell he wanted for ten years. So like I hain' some this idea that if this goes the way, it'll probably we go losing in round two to the forty nine ers, Like, I don't think do you should you get fired for losing to the same playoff team for three years in a row. Maybe you should. Maybe it's like it's never gonna work with you.
But I don't think he's even if they go two and two in the next four weeks. I don't think he's on some hot seat. I think they'd be happy to running back for a year five of five. I think that he and Jerry it's very different from Jason and Jerry because I think Jason was left alone and there wasn't much of a rift between Jerry and Jason, just because Jason was kind of his, you know, his boy, and
Jason picked. But with McCarthy, a guy that's you know, won a super Bowl, long a long career in this league and very very successful, you would think that that would give him the I don't know, audacity for lack of a better world to kind of push back on Jerry being Jerry, and then he hasn't done it. I mean, those guys have found a way to just kind of coexist and you don't really hear about anything going on between the two, and McCarthy did undercut Jerry in the off season, he
quickly got to a rich Eyesen podcast where was that The Dan Patrick Show as one of those two guys, got on there and basically squashed any rumors about any debate about his job because there was an idea we thought last year the season and that dan quinn was gonna leave and get a head coaching job and didn't, Yeah, because he was paid like a head coach to stay and not have to deal with all the crap of being a head coach, which
he knows all too well having been one, and probably promised that. Yeah, you know, if and when the time comes. But I mean, if you get rid of my McCarthy and dan qu like, are you suddenly you're not name better? Right? I don't know. I think it's interesting the defense goes and gives up thirty five points and we never screamed dan Quinn and the offense you know, doesn't score twenty and they we're like, well this is offensive. Well, I'm guilty. I'm suspect number one when it
comes to that. If that has I do think he's not great. If that happens and the Cowboys, let's say they you know, make it as a wild card, they get either eliminated or eliminated in the next round, and they do decide to make that move, then they got to make a pretty big offensive coordinator splash, don't you think. Yeah, and it's got to be probably one of those younger, sexier, innovative names. Yeah, but aren't. I mean they're doing statistically incredibly well. Offensively, they're doing
like they always have, statistically very awesome. Jerry's the wild card in this. I think when Jerry fired Garrett, he thought in his head, I'll never do that again. I don't have that all that unlimited time here. If I need to make a change, I'm gonna make a change. I'm not gonna sit and wait. Maybe, but you don't fire a dude who McCarthy's gonna probably make it three straight twelve win seasons, which rivals the greatest
three year stretch in Cowboys history by by regular season record at least. Yeah, just got to get over the hump of the ploffs. And that's you think macarthy's just stand there and say I'm sorry. I assuming they get to twelve. Let's say they do. I mean they're right on page yeah less. Cowboys aren't about regular seasons, about shape. Yeah, well you used to be thirty years ago, Jared. Well, this is where I think McCarthy was Steven's tire when you get that mixed up, like Jerry signed off
on it. But that was Steven who wanted him really bad. Oh there's something there. The thing was in the world of football real quick Panthers Ted end hayden Hurst has amnesia saw that his dad posted that because it was a post concussive reaction because he got blasted. His dad tweeted it. It's a slow recovery. Don't know when he'll be back. Did you see the hit? No? I didn't either. It's then from the Bears game on November ninth. But amnesia, then that I feel like a thing that was talked
about in the eighteen hundreds or in the eighties and soap opera. Yeah, yeah, she's got amnesia. Boy, you don't hear about that in the real world. Nos, only on TV is so created during the day. Have you ever known someone or known someone who's known someone that's not amnesia? No, I mean tons of mental health stuff obviously, and you know degenerative mental issues are brutal, brutal, but not amnesia unless it's in like Memento or like a cool movie. It would be kind of awesome if it were
more prevalent in society that you could use it as an actual excuse. Yeah, like what if it were like diarrhea. I got a little amnesia recovery. I forgot everything. I'm hoping it comes back tomorrow, but I don't even know. I don't even know where work is or selective amnesia. I am tired, like job Bluth who used to have a thing of pills called forget me nows like Joe. Those are roofies, take your forget me now, could be fine, genius boy. I don't know. Yeah, okay,
that's a strange one. I mean, I don't know what but is that a shock? Okay? Who said that? His dad said that his dad tweeted it. Okay, so we don't have a medical professional neurologists did. Did the neurologists say amnesia or post said? The neurologist said that, okay, because his dad that sounds like daytime TV using a word that he might associate it with it. But if the neurologist says amnesia, then I'm I want to know everything. But if it's just his dad throwing that word
out im possibly incorrectly, I don't know. Probably watched a lot of general hospital traumatic amnesia. That's all I have about. Okay, but they said it leads to like short term memory loss and things like that, so he can't remember what happened yesterday. I don't know. Terribly you get it back, I guess h post Traumatic amnesia is defined as the time after a period of unconsciousness when the injured person is conscious in a way, but as behaving
or talking in a bizarre or uncharacteristic manner. So Hayden Hurst is basically just saying sentences like I do yep because he got knocked out last week or two weeks ago or whatever last month. So there's that. Go to Instagram at ninety seven one the Freak I posted a thing about Kevin Hart right if you want Kevin Hart tickets, that win Star gave us a pair of tickets. Oh, just like it and make sure you're following the freak account and tag
three people in there. You're entered for the random drawing. We'll give up that winter at ninety five this morning. Last night, the Mavericks hosted the Jazz. They defeated them by fifty points. God, I couldn't believe that. I didn't watch the game because I didn't feel like strapping up the apparatus, but followed it on the phone, and my god, but it came out and knocked down his first fourth three pointer, first four to three pointers.
I love when you just know immediately Luke's on one tonight. Oh what, he's heat checking in the first quarter, Like, okay, it's good with his headband on. You know what, I got a heat check it. I'll waste a possession here, Yes, I should and he hit the first two threes and then he passed it and I was like, no, don't pass you shoot. Yeah, drilled them ninety seven. Yew here's drest half triple double, first half triple double. What a psycho this? This
dude is sixtieth of his career, already sixty. He's so so incredible. I don't know we did this. I actually liked when Korby did a song called Nowitzky Numb to comfortably Numb, and it's you know, we've all become nowitzky numb, Like you're what do you talk about? Let's talk about Tim Hardaway. You having a nice shooting game again? Like you you almost just skip over, like I want to fight to not ever do that. He's a magic boy. It's probably like being married to Kate Upton that after a
certain amount of time you forget who you're married to. You know, well, maybe you forget to acknowledge that. Good lord, will you look at this woman? It just becomes, you know, something you see every day and experience every day, and it just becomes your norm, your normal, and uh, give me your key. It's called taking things for granted. And we should never ever do I love that you're doing this. It's a
we should always check ourselves. He check ourselves to remind us that how special and unique this this young, young, gifted man is, and he's on our team for now. I think we do that on days where he doesn't give us other things to talk about. But today's not one of those days. Luka got a technical with the maps by thirty something last night. Now, I think it's gonna get rescinded, which we'll see as Chris Dunn poked him on the nose, Yeah, and touched his nose and booped him.
Really, Chris Dunn, who Luca last year, made a crying motion to and said, who the f are you? Now? Here's Luca in the game set talking after the technical foul. This is on the court. It's only like five seconds. Okay, Yeah, and here's what he says. You can hear him on the on the ref's microphones. It's gonna be a little faint, but you can hear it all right, try again, right, carry up as high as you can. No one, I didn't do nothing. He's just mad that I'm busting his ass. I love that.
It's awesome. He's just mad that I'm busting his ass. I have the transcript, So, yeah, Luca, Yo, what happened. He's just mad, I'm busting his ass, bro, I'm giving him buckets. Then the refs try to calm thing down by telling Luca, can y'all shake hands? And Luca said, hell no, but that's like the coolest reponse ever. He's mad, I'm busting his ass, and he's probably exactly right now. Luca probably does a lot of things that irk the opposition. I don't
know, I don't know. I don't know if he does like his attitude. And I can see how if you're an opponent of Luca even seeing him on TV, you know, seeing this white boy cook everyone in sight, you probably build something where you're like, I really don't like this guy and the bitches all the time he's complaining and whatever. I don't know if it is play itself actually does anything to irritate like the foe that he's going against,
other than he just won't stop making everything. And dude, that's happened a lot of times where I'm just getting embarrassed here. Fu, I don't have a real reason I want to punch you, but I want to punch you because you're really good. Yeah, you're making me look really bad. You don't never really see any big big names get into it with Luca. It's always your Chris Daans and Colin Sexton's of the world. It's when you realize that you don't have enough in your toolbox to keep up with the dude.
So, I mean, it's like anybody else. You get backed into a corner, you go to the lowest common denominator of defense, which is name calling or pushing or physical violence or you know, saying things that you normally wouldn't And that's probably what happens a lot. These guys are like, good god, I have no answer to this, dude. Yeah, let
me let me use some unconventional methods, right and start crap. Now, when this went down, Luca was in the post and he was trying to make a play and he got thought he got fouled, so he complained about it. Okay, again, they're up by thirty, and I was watching him as the team goes down the court, gives up a bucket and they get the ball back and they give it to Luca in the post again.
Okay, so it's two back to back possessions. Of them sparring a little bit, and then Luca made a move and then play stopped because he got fouled. And then that's when Chris Dunn got in his face and he has his finger in his face, and Luca just does the smile and he's backing off. Yeah, but Luca had yelled at the ref. This is what I'm saying like Luca, because I think the discourse, at least what I saw was like Luca did not deserve to get that technical. He didn't touch
the guy. Luca was given the ref an earful in the possession before sure while the Jazz were running down the court of card He's bucket. Luca was so the ref was like you just you just chewed me out, dude. Like so, I think I'm just all double tea. Now, maybe it gets rescended. I don't love Luca adding to his technical foul total in a thirty two point game when you're not even a quarter of away through the season. How about it by thirty. Let's go ahead and get him out.
Let's just go ahead. You thank him early load management. I don't know. He ended up with forty, Is that right? Forty? I believe, Yeah, Like eleven and ten or something, Yes, exactly. He also got caught on uh caught on tape saying some other stuff too with a good friend of ours. But this is just Jeff's skin weight on Balley. It's pretty important to come out here and get this win and get it in fifty point. That's that's resounding fashion. Yeah, the boy asked that before
the game. You know, we just kept around then, Uh, of it, but you haven't been getting sleep yep, who was laughing? I think there was skin but I'm not sure. Yeah, that before the game. You know, we just kept around then, Uh this love it you, but you haven't been getting sleep? Yeah, maybe it's Devin Harris, it's Devon is the timing of it doesn't make sense for skinning. You're not getting enough sleep, you know, just to step right back into the skin
smiled. Watch the video. He just used his big ass grin bust out of the skin head and Uh, I think it was Devin. Before the game, you know, we just kept around and uh, but you haven't been getting sleep. Yeah, I mean it's just third language, you know. So oh yeah, I give him that excuse completely love that that happened on Balley's he just keeps he does it all the time. It does it doesn't matter, you know, it's cool. F O S. Yeah, I cussed, and then you're like, what do I what do I do?
It's part of how you learned English. A that is yes, no, we said that a while again. And pickup games. That's how crazy? All right, Well, there's your sports man's get a big when Cowboy's Eagles Sunday night. We will continue forth with the scuttle but Yearine Review Part four got a lot of news to get to that you might have forgotten. We'll do that next on ninety seven to one. The Freak
