00:00What's it going to take for you to buy in on the 2024 Dallas Cowboys season?
00:21Now, you know what, Mike, I bet some people are assuming it's about you.
00:25It's not just about you.
00:26I also find myself struggling to get hype for the Cowboys season.
00:32Like I'm going to watch all the games.
00:34I'm going to be invested.
00:35I'm not saying I'm not going to pay attention, but I'm also not like as hyped as I normally
00:41would be because I feel like most years you can find a way to convince yourself.
00:47That's part of being a fan, can convince yourself that this could be the year.
00:51And I'm having a really hard time with that this year.
00:54And I'm like, you stripped down the roster.
00:55You are less talented than you were at this point last year.
00:58And I know the Cowboys are like, we're attacking in a different way.
01:02And I hope that works.
01:04I just am struggling coming up with the enthusiasm for it.
01:08Do you think that's fair?
01:09Absolutely.
01:10Okay.
01:11And Kevin, I'll be quite honest, as what a lot of people consider the Homer of the show,
01:20maybe even Homer of the station when it comes to the Cowboys.
01:24I'm having a hard time to being excited about something and going, oh man, I can't wait
01:29for this.
01:30A lot of times, like even when Tyler Smith was, was drafted, I was like, man, I think
01:35they got some other good pieces, uh, in this draft too.
01:39And I think Tyler Smith's going to be really good.
01:41Tyler Guyton, I feel like has a lot of work still to do to polish and become that kind
01:46of guy that I think he can be.
01:48And I'm like the rest of the draft, I was like, dang is it's okay.
01:53But I'm not really sure what to think of it yet.
01:55There's nothing that just pops.
01:56Um, and then like you said, they didn't really, it didn't feel like they did a whole lot now.
02:02Maybe maybe with Mike Zimmer, everything is different, but I, I mean, I've seen Mike Zimmer
02:07defenses before and I think they're good and solid and stout.
02:11I'm really excited about, you know, the potential for that, but didn't it sound like Micah Parsons
02:16who hadn't even talked to Mike Zimmer yet?
02:18Wasn't really that interested in how Mike Zimmer was going to help him, but more about
02:21how I can help Mike Zimmer.
02:24That was the feeling of, Oh man, we're already having a guy that doesn't even have a lot
02:29of interest.
