I should help South Africa and should help thyroic in Asian countries. So we will be able to build up our future for art. Thank you very much, South Carolina. I am Ben Rogers and I sound like this. He is Jeff Skinway and he sounds like this.
Hello friends. He is Kevin KT set list tear down Turner and he sounds like this. Hello friends. And she is Christina Carrelo baby cornbread range. She sounds like this. Hello friends. Yes. Good morning. So the NFL is back which is great and it just makes me nervous for the Cowboys. Why are you nervous, bro? Because this every year I fall for the banana and the tailpipe and I am like hey this year is different. This is the year and this is the first time really since the mid 90s where that mindset might be justifiable. And so now there is even more of a setup for heartbreak. That's just that's a life band sports. Sandman. You got to deal with it. Not like this. This is actual hope for the first time in 30 years is justified. Actual hope is justified out there in the Metroplex. As you wake up you stretch you are looking ready for your day and you start thinking about the Cowboys season getting underway. It's legitimately okay for you to dream big about the Cowboys and that is something
that's different this year than it has been in three decades. Oh Cowboys. I think you are blocking out what happened. I can't remember if it was two years ago or three years ago where we went into the playoffs as one of the best teams in football and got beat by 40 or whatever that was. Yeah, but at the beginning of the year it was false hope. There was never been hope like this to me in the 30 years. There's been some good teams along the way. But this, I mean you've got George Pickens, you fixed your defense, you have the young talented Jedi defensive coordinator. I think hope is as high now as it's been in 30 years. So what is your like hope like you're thinking Super Bowl or you think in Goat? I think multiple Super Bowl's this year, multiple Super Bowl's. Yeah, I think it's multiple Super Bowls. No, I think what would make me happy is if they actually got to the NFC championship game. I think that would be the first time since 95 right that they did. So. Oh my God.
So it's a massive, massive drought, but I honestly don't think it's that far fetch to do that. I mean, so much can happen in a season, you know, you can, you can have injuries and so forth. But man, I just think hope is as high as it's been in a long time and that's dangerous. That's dangerous because I think like if they, if they like, let's say they come out and go on for, I mean, I like if it's total disaster, so that's the giant season. It's over like how, you know what I'm saying? They're playing in a week three game in Brazil to say they're seeing against the Ravens. Oh my God. It's a, if it's a must win game in Brazil. And you know, you know, what happened? Like it just feels like everything should go well, which is exact time that it would not go well. What's the defense get torched? And one's like, it's Christian Barger has a phone. Yeah. We were sold a bag of goods. Right. I feel don't have an ad rush. I feel very confident they will not get run all over this year.
That's what I feel very confident. There's the expectations. Don't get run. But keep in mind that you don't have a chance if every team starts second and third, like you just don't have a chance. They, the other team, third, if they pop seven yards every three. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Second three. There's just, you don't have a chance because the other team never sees third down. So you're aft. Yeah. That's going to be different this year. If they can hold runners to three and a half to four yards, that would be different. That's their whole plan. That's their whole plan. But they, they have George Pickens this year, maybe for one more year. I mean, if you're not going to have GP after this, your chances are better now than they will be next year. Yeah. And then the good thing that the cowboys have gone for them right now is there's, as we know, there's not an electric substation right near their practice facility. Mm-hmm. Where everyone can just get hurt a lot. Mm-hmm. I was happening with the 49ers. Who in Australia had a guy, Tara's Patelertenden, it practiced in Australia because you got to go to Australia for tonight's game.
Um, very strange. Meanwhile, the Rams are like, you know, let's just take a one day flight to Australia and then get back on a plane and go back. Why are we, for now, let's, let's, let's acclimate to the kangaroos in the Australian climate. Where are we, where are we asking this question on the air the other days at a shorter flight to Australia, Japan? We were talking about this because Ben might be blowing off his Japanese Christmas vacation. Yeah. But then he may want to go see Radiohead in Japan or Australia in the summer. Okay. Chevy Chase movie that would be. Yeah. All right. Man, it's, uh, it's so expensive. It's so freaking expensive. And spending money on teenagers is kind of fruitless. Yep. Because they don't seem appreciative and don't care. And so it's like just setting a pile of money on fire. It's like owning a shark aquarium. Yeah. The, uh, the spouse vacation is way better than taking your kids anywhere. Yeah. They don't care. All they want to do is be on their phone. When do we go back? I wanted, I wanted to text my friends in my room at home, not here.
Yeah. Or I'm sorry, not text snapchat. Japan appears to be three hours shorter than Australia. Let's go. Are you serious? It's shorter? Yeah. Wow. Australia got to go away south. Oh. You got to go to Sydney. It's going to New Zealand. Well, I, uh, I just know this. I know at this time of year, everybody's a super bowl champion in their fantasy league. Everyone's favorite team has a real shot in this year. For the first time in 30 years, I think it's okay to hope for the Cowboys. I think it's going to be a very, very special season. I'll say it. Unless it's not. And then it's going to be soul crushing. I feel good that they can win their division. That's the number one thing. The NFL win your division first and then go from there. How's your fantasy team, dude? Man, I appreciate you asking that. So hold on, Christina. Sorry, it's just so early. If you could just hold on, Christina. He was going to tell us either what here's all what I'll say. And the highly prestigious Chris Riles cup.
Formerly known as Landry. Formerly known as the Landry Cup. One of the most prestigious fantasy leagues in the land. It's been going since 1994. People talk about this though, weirdly. I am the reigning champ. Oh, let's go. So I'll bring the trophy up here so you guys can get a look at it. Just wear sunglasses. You will be blinded by it. Thank you for asking though. I'd ask you about your fantasy teams, but I don't care. Well, I have too many. Yep. I did you really ask? No, he asked. I asked, why'd you do that? Because someone was asking me earlier. Who? About who won't you go for me? I like it so much. Landry Cup. Like it's 4 in the morning. Someone woke up in 4 in the morning and asked you about your fantasy team. I really see. It's every day runs into each other. There's a lot of excitement out there. A lot of buzz. All right. Coming up next, we'll officially get this party started by taking the morning news dump. Where are you going to take us with that, KT? Is AI going to kill us? Let's celebrate next on Lone Star 92.5.
