Brett
The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail.
Dale Hellister
Oh, do I know that phrase? Dale heavy is the crown boy. I feel that every day. Got a bad back from carrying this Hubbard radio through Phoenix for years.
Brett
My goodness.
Dale Hellister
Your back goes bad. I always tell people, like, do I look like I'm standing up straight? And they're like, no, not really. And I'm like, yeah, it's. My back's bad from carrying this radio.
Brett
Oh, that's your nose pulling you forward. Happy is the crown. I'm the one that has crowns.
Dale Hellister
No, you've got crabs. You misunderstood your doctor. No, you understood. You got crowns. Heavy as the crown. Brett lost the crown this week. He's in. He's in old gummoes in terrible turmoil over there with a dentist. Yeah, Dale Hellas trace here.
Brett
Drugs?
Dale Hellister
No, unfortunately, no. They got what? Tramadol. They give you tramadol. Do anything, but they give dogs.
Brett
Yeah.
Guest
When he came in early in the week, I thought he was a squirrel.
Brett
Yeah.
Guest
Storing the nuts in the side.
Brett
You know, I used to be able to take all that stuff when I played. Yeah. And And I. I don't know if I was around you guys, but I took a face mask. You were around.
Guest
Oh, yeah.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
Disgusting.
Brett
Yes. And they gave me some oxy. Oxy content. Yeah, Whatever that is.
Dale Hellister
That's good stuff.
Brett
It is. But that. That's the first drug I've done. Vicodin. I've done a lot of things. Darva set, Percocet, anything with a set. Give me the set. And Tordol. But that Oxycodone or whatever it's called, that messed with me.
Dale Hellister
That's basically heroin, isn't it? How so? It's heroin. Yeah.
Brett
Like, I felt lightheaded. I felt kind of out of control of myself. My legs still hurt. So I said, well, this isn't good.
Dale Hellister
What was the difference between how you walk the day normally and feeling what you just described, which is lightheaded, a
Brett
little dizzy, not as athletic or ballerina like.
Guest
You felt heavy on your feet.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. You felt thick. You couldn't move like me.
Brett
Heavy as the crown, Jon.
Dale Hellister
That's right.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
That's exactly what it is. Dale Hellas trace here, three time world champion for your Dallas Cowboys, co host of the main event with Steve McCullum. Good dude. I'm glad I met Steve. He's a nice guy. I like him. He wants to do a show. He said he's going to replace one of the guys on the show. He wanted me to fill in.
Brett
Okay. Well, you're gone already, huh? You're out.
Dale Hellister
No, no, I'm just saying, like, Steve and I are. We're talking about maybe doing a show. Yeah. I'm just saying, sort of place the guy. But no, he's fun and it's. I haven't listened to your show, but if Steve's on it, it's probably okay.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
And then of course, you're on my podcast, the sports thing. A John Holmberg joint and guests. And yeah, with the permanent guest, Dale. Hell Astray and the rest.
Brett
It's been a few weeks now, but remember, this idea was hatched, all right?
Dale Hellister
Don't bring it up again that it was my idea the whole time.
Brett
I can't. I can't be the host. I'll be the guest host, permanent guest. And somehow, some way, it's my podcast. Three or four people listen to it, it flip flopped, and now it's John.
Dale Hellister
Here's the thing. I was hedging my bets if you guys were retards, but I didn't want to spend my time there. And then I would just make up a story Going on. My company won't let me do it. Then I started to say, I'm pretty good at this.
Guest
There's some traction. In two weeks, he'll stay.
Dale Hellister
I don't care about traction. I'm like, can I tolerate this room for an hour a week with these idiots? And it was a push for a minute, like. And then I'm like, you know what? If I just take over? They'll. It'll be great, and it's good. It's actually pretty good.
Brett
Stay with these two guys for how long?
Dale Hellister
Him for 20 something long years. And then Brett for about. Well, I've known him both for the whole time, so.
Brett
Well, we already know Brett can't fight through any pain.
Dale Hellister
What? Oh, look at him go. Brett fights different.
Brett
He's out.
Dale Hellister
Trust me, he doesn't. I've been here the whole time. What are you talking about? He'll start shooting.
Guest
He'll rake your shin in a bit.
Dale Hellister
That's right. That's right. Let's talk about what's going on in this city. Like, everybody's talking about it. Everybody's blabbing away. Kyler Murray, released by the Cardinals coming up on the 10th of March. He's out.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
And Cardinal fans are like, oh, thank God, finally. And I've been saying this about Kyler Murray for a long time. Best athlete on the field almost every game. Rookie year comes in, takes this team to the playoffs. Not this last year, but the year before. Had a pretty darn good run.
Brett
Yep.
Dale Hellister
And they kind of fell apart. Not necessarily his fault that this franchise can't win. He's a little goofy between the ears. He's not a leader. But is that a product of Kyler Murray or his surroundings?
Brett
All I would caution. Whatever Cardinal fans are remaining. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
How are they still there?
Brett
Be careful what you wish for. Be careful what you wish for. At the quarterback position, Kyler Murray and Bruce Cooper comes on our main event show. Bruce Cooper. Let me tell you what.
Dale Hellister
Let me tell you what. I shaved my scrotum this morning, and it is smooth like brown eggs.
Brett
He might be the only media person in the Valley who. Nobody can say a bad word.
Dale Hellister
He's the nicest man I've ever met. No question.
Brett
But he's a big Kyler Murray fan. He said, look at that. Just look at the facts. When you gave him DeAndre Hopkins and they had two other wide receivers at that point. Yeah, Christian Kirk and one other guy. They started off 7 and 11 and
Dale Hellister
2 and 1 with the Mexican name.
Brett
And then. And then Deandre Hopkins goes down. Yep. And everything got discombobulated. I think it's a byproduct of number one. You have to be such a special player at that position to overcome a history of inept performances. You have to be so special. And I think he's special, but you got to put some pieces around.
Dale Hellister
I think the thing that screwed up the Kyler Murray argument for Cardinal fans was when Kingsbury left and had success with Jaden Daniels as a coordinator. Yeah, that's the difference. And I've talked to Cardinal fans like, yeah, but Kingsbury left and his offense in D.C. was good. And I'm like, yeah, it was good, but he had a coach. Kingsbury was terrible. This, this. You watch that Hard Knocks where Kingsbury was the guy. You can watch that and go, I wouldn't run through paper for this dude. Like he was a. He had lost that locker room. You could see lost eyes. He wasn't there.
Guest
He's not the leader.
Dale Hellister
Tyler then has to move on to a guy that lasts a year then, you know, I mean it's just this thing where I don't think he's great and everybody confuses that when I def.
Brett
Right.
Dale Hellister
I don't think he's great, but I think in the right situation that athleticism will get you somewhere.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
And he's learned in seven years or six years, whatever it is, that how to play the position if the game's right. He single handedly. What I watched the Cardinals, just out of curiosity, morbid curiosity, single handedly won games for them. Yeah, well, I mean by himself, that Raiders game, it should be legendary. What he did at the end of that game, running around with no o line, making Max Crosby miss four or five times. And then it was, it was one of the more remarkable things I've ever watched in sports. And it was all him.
Brett
And then now remember the, the, the, the offensive coordinator just slipped my mind the last two years. Oh, I don't know their names. That little bald guy.
Dale Hellister
It's Brady.
Brett
Yeah, Brady. It could have been Brady for all I know would have been winning, you
Dale Hellister
know, just to go to chance.
Brett
But the thing is his offense is predicated on a drop back passer. Yeah. And he didn't adjust his offense to this special talent.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, I agree.
Brett
And if you're a coach and you can't adjust your offense, your defense. I was out there with some guys from Dallas last, last night, one of them involved in the Cowboys organization. They had a defensive coordinator that is a three, four guy.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
Well, one thing The Cowboys have is they have three really good defensive tackles. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
You go the other way with that.
Brett
Yes. You adjust your defense to your talent. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
Your roster dictates what you're going to do with it, not the other way.
Brett
Yeah. And so I think that was some of it with Kyler. I think when they hit him, when it broke that you have the homework clause in the contract that I don't know how you recover from that as a quarterback.
Dale Hellister
It's tough.
Brett
You know, whether it's true or not, I'm leaning towards. It might have been a little true. It's true. But it could have been a bid.
Dale Hellister
Well, hey, he's unaware. He did the photo shoot in the Michael Vick jersey last year with dogs. You know, there was a whole thing where Kyler just kind of thumbed his nose at everybody and I'll do it. And then. And then the worst thing about Kyler to me was. And he did it again. His little letter to say goodbye two days ago was passive aggressive show, sorry, couldn't fix the 77 year drought. This team. Then today or last night, he puts out another one that's much more. More flowery and a whole lot more, like, humble. And you're like, somebody got you. But that's where we don't like you, Kyler, is when you get caught, you pout.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
And we're like, you're a baby. Like, you're. There's the Michael Vick with pit bulls. And he's like, oh, I didn't even realize that was a thing. And I'm like, then that's worse. You're unaware. Then you're dumb and dumb.
Brett
There's so many other quarterbacks you could have chosen.
Dale Hellister
You can love Michael Vick for your comparable game styles.
Brett
Right.
Dale Hellister
But you can't wear your OJ jersey as a running back anymore and walk around white whipp. You just can't do it.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
Just know better. So there's certain things where you're like, all right, Kyler, but good guidance stops that. A good coach steps in and goes coaching. You do this again and I swear to God, I'll bounce your little ass off every wall in this building.
Brett
Or your agent. Your agent.
Dale Hellister
Coach, he doesn't have anyone in his life saying, stop it.
Brett
Right.
Dale Hellister
He's a PR guy. He needs a consigliere. And I read yesterday, a consigliati. Brett, explain making the decisions for the boss. Like, kind of like, watch the Sopranos,
Guest
introduce them to the right people.
Dale Hellister
You never watched the Sopranos.
Brett
I'm Not Italian.
Dale Hellister
You don't have to either. Yeah, I'm Swedish. You never watched the Sopranos.
Brett
I didn't.
Dale Hellister
Why?
Brett
The language was.
Dale Hellister
Oh, my God, you're such a homo effort. You almost made me say it. The lang. You weren't. So what you just said was. I'll read between the lines. I'm good at this. Your wife wouldn't let you watch the Sopranos.
Brett
I just.
Dale Hellister
Nah, what I just said is true.
Brett
It just never enticed me.
Dale Hellister
Your wife wouldn't allow it in the
Guest
house if it wasn't programmed. They couldn't watch together.
Dale Hellister
You're not allowed.
Brett
We had the PG controls on.
Dale Hellister
My God.
Guest
Dell control.
Brett
Yeah, your ma.
Dale Hellister
Does your wife have any idea how you talk to me? Can I meet Brooke and just go through? You're not.
Brett
You're not ever meeting Brooke.
Dale Hellister
I can't meet her because you're worried I might go. And then Dale said, oh,
Brett
you'll have a no card.
Dale Hellister
I have my text. I just break out my text that say, hey, C word.
Brett
Erase those. No.
Guest
Your brand liability.
Dale Hellister
I am. My brand liability is to out him. I have voice messages. Why don't you do that?
Guest
That's not a friend.
Dale Hellister
I'm not. But if I'm not allowed to meet his wife because of me, she needs to know the truth. Because he's not a friend.
Brett
Every time I get done with a text throw with Johnny Erase, it's like
Dale Hellister
we're sending dick pics. Oh, my God. You didn't watch the Sopranos because you weren't allowed.
Guest
Dale still gets a shakedown.
Dale Hellister
Just say it out loud.
Brett
I don't show any. I really. It didn't catch my interest.
Dale Hellister
It didn't. It's the greatest show ever.
Brett
It's like Landman. Everybody says, oh, you gotta watch. You gotta watch four episodes. Yeah, it's okay if I have to watch more than half of an episode to catch my attention.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, that's not what the sprouts.
Guest
I'm telling you, Dale. Yeah, it's. It's no land, man.
Dale Hellister
The Sopranos is legendary.
Guest
And it still holds up.
Dale Hellister
Of course it does, because legendary stuff does.
Brett
Who's the star?
Dale Hellister
James Gandolfini. Are you out of. Were you kidnapped by aliens for a decade? What in the world?
Brett
I never watched Scarface.
Dale Hellister
Well, that's.
Guest
That's.
Dale Hellister
You weren't allowed.
Brett
No, I. It just didn't.
Dale Hellister
Scarface is good if you're a college kid. It's about Cubans. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that is. Yeah, It's Cubans.
Brett
Yeah. All right, that's. I lived through the mafia, Johnny.
Dale Hellister
You did not.
Brett
I, I, I was in the mafia.
Dale Hellister
You were an smu?
Brett
Yeah, I saw, I saw people who had been killed, you know.
Dale Hellister
Well, then the Soprano should be more interesting because you're like.
Brett
Oh, it was.
Dale Hellister
It reminds me of that guy that time Trans Am.
Brett
Honestly, it was an eerie feeling when I was sitting in that office and they showed him. Manila envelope.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
With.
Dale Hellister
Oh, yeah. You saw.
Brett
Yeah. Two pictures of what?
Guest
Daniel Love, Sopranos.
Dale Hellister
Yes.
Brett
No, it was, it was scary. That's what the Sopranos are huge guys standing in the. In the drawer way with coats and this family.
Dale Hellister
You believe this, Brett? This guy over here didn't watch the show one time. Unbelievable. What kind of are you Tell your wife what's on TV and send her out of the room. You go watch the Real Housewives of Bitchville. I'm gonna watch what I want. Did you watch Breaking Bad? Not allowed.
Brett
No. No. What?
Dale Hellister
There was no cussing in that. There was a little, but.
Brett
Yeah, but it was a little. It wouldn't be because of the cussing. That subject matter just doesn't.
Dale Hellister
Awesomeness doesn't excite you? What excites you, Dale? Greatest television show of all time. Dale Hellischer.
Brett
Oh, of all time. Well, I liked all the Cheers.
Dale Hellister
Oh, that's great stuff. Comedies.
Brett
Yes. But like, what? I'm more of a comedy guy. I'm a happy guy.
Dale Hellister
I am too, D. I'm not a killer. I'm not either, Dan. And I love a good comedy.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
But let's talk about great television.
Guest
Some real funny stuff in Sopranos.
Brett
What? What if. How about American Idol? Yeah, okay.
Dale Hellister
Come on, man. Jesus Christ. You're going to grow mickeyers right in front of me. You're a. You're a big lumbering man. Who called. You called me a. At dinner cuz I ordered risotto.
Brett
Yes, thank you.
Dale Hellister
You called me the homo.
Brett
F word. I've never heard a guy have the word risotto come out of his head. It's not.
Dale Hellister
It's not gay food. No, it's not. And you said you called me an effing homo.
Guest
How many times was it called out in Hell's Kitchen?
Dale Hellister
Risotto's like, great.
Brett
And there was shrimp.
Dale Hellister
I had like the most fattening meal of the entire.
Guest
I don't get the shrimp gate.
Dale Hellister
Oh, that's true. That's scampi. It's shrimp scampi with rice. Same thing. That's all risotto.
Brett
Was Risotto's. But that's like a pompous way to say it. That's. I'm better than you.
Dale Hellister
Scampi is a compass Said. I bet this stupid giant ape hasn't seen the Godfather either. Please tell me you've seen the Godfather.
Brett
I have not. Dale.
Dale Hellister
Hell, you're no longer our friend.
Brett
That's. That's a new. Wrong.
Guest
New game. Has Dale seen it?
Dale Hellister
Has Dale seen it? Do you watch any quiz shows? It's just got to be. They're speaking Spanish.
Guest
How about this Little House on the Prairie?
Brett
I did see that. I knew it growing up. I saw Wallace and Labo when I was growing up.
Dale Hellister
What's the dirtiest movie you've watched? Any, like, Quentin Tarantino stuff?
Guest
Blazing Saddles.
Dale Hellister
He's got Larry excited. Like Quentin Tarantino.

Brett
I did see a little bit of that Once Upon a Night in Hollywood or whatever, and I. I walked out. It was stupid.
Dale Hellister
Amazing movie.
Brett
It was stupid. You guys have the intellect of an ant.
Dale Hellister
Oh, my God. Meanwhile, you're trying to bring his American. I was gonna say trying to keep up with the American Idol plot points.
Nick Delito

Guest
Masked singer.

Dale Hellister
Highlights? There's no highlights in Sling Blade. You either saw it or you didn't.
Brett
No, I didn't.

Wow.

Four is pretty good.
Guest
What about any Rambos?
Brett
All the Rambos. So, basically, yeah, I, I, I like tough guy movies, John. You know what I'm saying?
Dale Hellister
I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna throw up. Then you'd love the Sopranos.
Brett
I might. Maybe I should try it.
Dale Hellister
You're not allowed. I just want to hear Godfather. That's clean. There's no bad language in that.
Brett
Really?
Dale Hellister
Not at all. That's very true. It's like, one of the greatest movies ever. Yeah.
Brett
It's not Godfather or Godfather 2 or Godfather 3.
Dale Hellister
1 and 2, 3.
Guest
1 and 2.
Dale Hellister
Man, you have shocked the world today.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. Since I almost broke and kicked my truck's radio and Dale said, who stars in it? Tell Brett to go smack him in the mouth.
Brett
Oh, you don't want to get into that.
Dale Hellister
They asked if you've seen the Notebook.
Brett
Have you seen that? I have not seen.
Dale Hellister
You have to.
Brett
I've not seen the Notebook.
Dale Hellister
You big Sandra Bullock fan.
Brett
Oh, I do. Like.
Dale Hellister
I bet you do because you're allowed to watch her movies. Yeah, yeah.
Brett
No, no, no. The.
Dale Hellister
The.
Brett
The. The.
Dale Hellister
The lake house. Yes, you've seen. You have to watch rom coms, don't you?
Brett
No, I don't have to.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, you do. That's what's on. But he wants to. I want to meet Brooks so bad.
Brett
I usually. The thing is, with TV and me, it's like. Usually I watch sports.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, me too.
Brett
Or news.
Dale Hellister
Me, too.
Guest
And action films.
Brett
And they'll watch an action film here or there.
Dale Hellister
What?
Brett
There hasn't been anything put out in the last two.
Dale Hellister
But you're not allowed to come home today. I just want to hear you say it. You're not allowed to go home today and go, hey, Brooke. And the guy said, sopranos is good. And take that chance.
Brett
She said she'll say, do you want to watch it? I'll. I'll sit down with you. Language is brutal. Oh,
Dale Hellister
I don't want to watch that. Godfather. Safe. Sopranos.
Guest
Brook will say, I want to watch Missing in Action again.
Dale Hellister
Right. Maybe I just want to hear you say it. You're not allowed to watch it.
Brett
I would probably be. I would probably be.
Dale Hellister
Just say it.
Brett
No, not. Not forbidden to watch it, but I would be. It would be uncomfortable.
Guest
You have to watch it by yourself.
Brett
Just say it and go. My office. Not.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, go.
Brett
My office. Just f bombs all over the place
Dale Hellister
like your regular life is via my texts. Hey, C word. Call me.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
You called me the other day, and I said hello very kindly, and I just heard C word. That's how he says hi to me,
Brett
because that's how you've addressed me.
Dale Hellister
I said hello.
Brett
I wanted to come over and visit with you.
Dale Hellister
That was very nice. I will say that Dale did threaten to come over and entertain me while I was face down on the couch.
Brett
Face down by yourself? Ass up.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. Last thing you want is a lumbering giant to come in the door when your ass is vulnerable like that.
Brett
But he did.
Dale Hellister
You were very nice when you were. I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm like, wow. Dale's showing empathy and kindness. He goes, if you want me to come by and. And say hi. I'm like, I'm avoiding all distractions. That's very kind of you, but there's. And then I said, we can watch Sopranos together. And his wife's like. And I was like, what's going on?
Brett
What are you doing over. John. Yes.
Dale Hellister
Huh? I won't even ask about Casino. He doesn't even. He never heard of it.
Brett
I think I've seen. That's James Khan, right?
Dale Hellister
No, no, that was Vegas. What was that weekend in Vegas with Sarah Jessica Parker and Sharon Stone. You're not allowed.
Brett
I think I've seen the casino.
Dale Hellister
You have not seen Casino.
Brett
Don't tell me what I've done.
Dale Hellister
Where do you get to nerve telling me that, you Jew? And like, in a minute, you're not allowed to watch this anymore. Dale. I like Brooke. I like that she's controlling you.
Guest
This.
Dale Hellister
You are a puppet. And you are. You are. You're also barely allowed here. She still doesn't know you're here on Thursday.
Brett
She doesn't
Dale Hellister
give me your number. She. I would charm her.
Brett
Oh, you would not.
Dale Hellister
You right out of her Mormon underwear thing.
Brett
Out. And you. God, Dale in trouble.
Dale Hellister
I would not get you in trouble. She would be like, you are so engaging.
Brett
Why have you kept. She did say that one night when I wanted to. One of the Steelers games.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. Can I come?
Brett
I said, why don't you ever invite me? I said, john hasn't invited you.
Dale Hellister
Well, I'm not allowed.
Brett
Brooke. John doesn't like girls.
Dale Hellister
No, your daughters. Your daughters and your son in law, Scott, who I think is awesome. They listen every once in a while. And please, by all means, tell Brooke I'm looking forward to seeing. I know how scary is Brooke to these people?
Comedy Club Announcer
Like they're.
Dale Hellister
You've got them worried that she'll kill you.
Brett
Yeah. I don't know.
Dale Hellister
Blink twice if you're in. If you're in danger. You know, doctors always ask, you go in there. Like, I think I broke my.
Brett
When I think about this, it really is interesting.
Dale Hellister
It's wildly interesting. You're scared to.
Brett
Because there's some people at church that come up and say, dale, I really love listening to you on Thursday. I said, you listen to home birth.
Dale Hellister
Yes.
Brett
And go to church.
Dale Hellister
Well, that's a thing.
Brett
Which church?
Dale Hellister
Both of Them are ludicrous ideas.
Brett
Why not?
Guest
And that was the pastor from the
Dale Hellister
church, and the pastor probably did it. He goes, you meet my boyfriend, the little boy standing next to him. Yeah, that's right, Dale. That's exactly right.
Brett
Whoa.
Dale Hellister
Your jaw hit the ground. Hey, look, how much did.
Brett
What is it, Dan? Is that. Is that. How much scarring did he leave on you?
Dale Hellister
None. It wasn't me. It was the Catholic church being across the street from my school.
Brett
You already said that. You wonder why father never came after
Dale Hellister
you and there's so much rape. You know what else? Yeah, that's fact that I never got approached by that pedophile over there at St. Tim's and he never, ever wanted to bang.
Brett
Wanted to be approached?
Dale Hellister
Yeah. Guy was raping people like raindrops hit the ground, and I somehow I dodged all of it. Crazy. You know what else I'm upset about? All these people that'll. That'll email me and say, you're just part of the. You're just part of the media. They make you say this and they do that. You join the cult and they pay you. I'm like, I would kill for that. Like, I would be so, like, they say that stuff about, like, conspiracies, like, Nash knows where. They tell everybody, oh, they're part of Pizzagate and they're all in on the secret. And there's, you know, child trafficking and Tom Hanks eats babies. And I'm like, I'm upset because people think, like, you're just part of the media. They tell you, like, I would love that to be approached and have them say, you want in the club? Like, heck, yeah, I want Epstein island and stuff like that. I won't participate, but I want to go.
Brett
Yeah, I would do. Would you wreak havoc?
Dale Hellister
I'd just hang out like Clinton did and just be in the pool just going, she's got a great ass. I think that one's gonna get me. And then Bill and I would have fun together. I would love to be part of that crew.
Brett
Right.
Dale Hellister
But they don't want.
Brett
They don't want any of us.
Dale Hellister
People always say that, like, oh, you're just a. You're just a shill for the. For the political machine that makes you guys say, this Media's forced to go down that road. You're afraid to do it.
Brett
I'm like, wait, media?
Dale Hellister
That's what I think.
Brett
No, that's what I say. What are you getting the idea that I'm important stuff? I hear you wrong.
Dale Hellister
Anyway, that's Brady you're talking about pretty much on point. Are you watching the war?
Brett
I am.
Dale Hellister
Pretty awesome, isn't it?
Brett
It's pretty spectacular, what it was.
Dale Hellister
And these Iranians get blown up one day after another. Little heat seeking. The little orange dudes running around just got video of them. It's awesome.
Brett
Well, what I. The thing that probably grabbed my attention the most was one of our flight fighter jets dodging a. Oh, that was great.
Dale Hellister
Video running around there.
Brett
Just you, we, the four of us are pooping our pants.
Dale Hellister
You know what, I had a guy email me about that and he goes, you know what's great about that is the pilot has to engage all that, but he's not doing any of the flying at that point. It's the heat from the things that he, he can fly, but it knows what to duck.
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
And it knows the pattern. Like it's got a computer program that knows the pattern.
Brett
Now what's his name?
Dale Hellister
Not to take anything away from the pilots because they're doing amazing work, but the planes are equipped with such amazing technology that it can run from things shot at it. And that's why it puts. The pilot's job is to go and put those heat things straight and then, and then the thing will go after that and it's pretty awesome.
Brett
It's pretty crazy.
Dale Hellister
Pretty great. Yeah.
Brett
Who are you rooting for?
Dale Hellister
I got Iran in seven.
Brett
Seven days.
Dale Hellister
I don't know.
Brett
I don't know.
Dale Hellister
That's what MSNBC is rooting for, Iran. So I watched that too. Back to Kyler real quick.
Brett
Yes,
Dale Hellister
because you said you'd never seen the Sopranos and everybody started to hate you, so your opinion means nothing. You're not a well versed man.
Brett
I. I'm a pretty simple man, John.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, you are.
Brett
I'm pretty simple. Wow. But I do have opinions on sports things.
Dale Hellister
That's true. You do know your sports. So maybe it's just you're hyper focused on one single thing
Brett
we watch. Chicago Mad is one TV show.
Dale Hellister
Don't you love it when they merge with Chicago Hope of Chicago?
Guest
Oh, the crossover.
Brett
There's no Chicago Hope.
Dale Hellister
There's a Chicago.
Brett
No, there's not.
Dale Hellister
There is.
Brett
It's Chicago Mad, Chicago Fire, Chicago Police, Chicago Hope. I don't know that.
Guest
Maybe it got cut.
Dale Hellister
It was a hospital.
Brett
Sounds soft.
Dale Hellister
Oh, yeah, you're the one that talks while you're watching the lake house. Kyler Murray. I read yesterday that his price tag for a new team might be $2 million.
Brett
Yeah, because he's getting money.
Dale Hellister
Because he's getting 36. So he's basically in the Russell Wilson prove it deal.
Brett
Here's.
Dale Hellister
Here's what do you take that chance you do right.
Brett
If you're a Cardinals fan.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
Be prepared for him going to a Minnesota.
Dale Hellister
Oh.
Brett
Something like that. Pittsburgh. And. And him becoming a thing.
Dale Hellister
A better thing.
Brett
A Sam Darnold.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. I don't know if he's that good.
Brett
Well, either. But I'm talking about a resurrection potential to where you go. Yeah. Why didn't we see.
Dale Hellister
What you're gonna see, I think firmly is out loud. Oh, it's nine. Did I get a nine o' clock word?
Brett
I did.
Dale Hellister
It's one the out loud. You're going to see it wasn't his fault.
Brett
Right.
Dale Hellister
He may not get you to 15 wins like Darnold did and have some crazy breakout year, but you're gonna see. Oh my God. With proper guidance and an offensive line, this dude can damage and.
Brett
And a good head coach with an organization that is behind you. Yeah. But remember Sam Darnold was caught on.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
Video saying, I'm seeing ghosts.
Dale Hellister
Yeah. And they made fun of him.
Brett
Yes.
Dale Hellister
Instead of the coach going, that's on me.
Brett
I'm seeing. Why are you seeing ghosts? Are you being coached up? What's going on here? No, it's him.
Dale Hellister
Quarterbacks who see ghosts are unprepared. Quarterbacks. That's immediately on coach.
Brett
And here's the other thing I get a kick out of a lot of people here in Arizona. They make fun of the jets and their organization and you could throw Cardinals Jetsons in the blender press frappe and you don't know the difference. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
In Risotto's game.
Brett
Yeah. Propag. Johnny. No.
Dale Hellister
Who would you rather play for? What organization? Cardinals or Jets?
Brett
Well, you're talking to a guy got drafted by the Bills who at that point were horrible. They just about. That's just like.
Dale Hellister
But in this day and age, at
Brett
least in Arizona you got the weather, you got golf.
Guest
You're going down in New York there.
Dale Hellister
You got New York, New York, you got Manhattan. Basically what Brett was asking was you're in prison. Anal or oral?
Brett
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
You. It's a fact. Because I'm like. I guess oral, but I gotta look at it. Pubes in my eyes. And at least the other way I don't see them.
Brett
See, you thought about that?
Dale Hellister
Of course I did. I'm a man with the brain.
Guest
It could be a choice for him.
Dale Hellister
I'm a man with a brain that's allowed to explore. Unlike you.
Brett
That's Weird.
Dale Hellister
You've got the bumper pool things up. You're not allowed to go to the gutter. I am allowed in the gutter. It's 9:46. Dale's here with us. Anything else happen in sports? Well, I mean, they had the hockey thing. That was pretty fun.
Guest
Did you watch a lot of Olympics?
Brett
I did more than I usually do. Winter lift.
Dale Hellister
Are you allowed to watch female figure skating? That gets pretty risky.
Brett
Yeah. You know, those hands go some places
Dale Hellister
a lot of times in those thongs. I'm starting to wear just thongs out right now.
Brett
What I always wonder is when I see these ski jumpers.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
And okay, you go down, you're 16 years old, and you do one flip trip and you're like, yeah, that was easy. I'm gonna do two. When do you start saying, I'm gonna do triple. Three triples. And I'm gonna do a couple twirls.
Dale Hellister
Where do you do it?
Brett
Do whatever.
Dale Hellister
Like, how do you talk somebody and go, can I use your ramp? Like, how do you get to where you're. You're riding down the. The 90 footer and some are doing
Guest
it on that dry ramp, which you
Dale Hellister
see rollers, but it's just like. It's like a mile long. So you can get enough speed to throw yourself through Earth 7,000ft. And it's like. I'm good at that.
Brett
This. It's like the. It's like the Summer Olympics. Those divers from the high dive. No, I mean, I jumped off one
Dale Hellister
once of a high dive.
Brett
Yeah. I mean, the platform. The highest platform. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
I cried in eighth grade when we were all forced to climb. Coach Flake made us. Did you have to do that at Rhodes, too? We had to do the high dye for no reason.
Comedy Club Announcer
Yeah.
Dale Hellister
Yeah.
Brett
Other.
Dale Hellister
The only reason that they did that at Rhodes was to abuse us. All right, we're all going to do some diving. It was February. Wasn't a heated pool either. No, I know. And we did swimming and you were a. To not get in, but it was horrible. We didn't have to do the high dive. We just had to do the high dive. We did, but we just jump off it. Nobody was diving in. He did it because I know you guys want to, but we're gonna do it safe and we're gonna do it simple.
Brett
And everybody.
Dale Hellister
We're all climbing the ladder real slow. Next Linkus jump and Todd. And I'm standing up there and I'm looking. I'm like. It started. I was kind of quiet about it.
Guest
Dad's there Just shaking.
Dale Hellister
Only reason I did it. And I was scared the whole time, so the water covered my tears. I was horrified up there. I did not like that at all.
Brett
Well, I, I heard you on the the way my other award winning show and somebody's looking at a watch, but you just feel it. Do you just.
Dale Hellister
Yeah, that's a plague.
Brett
When did your dad stop banging on you for being gay?
Dale Hellister
Yeah, he never did out loud to be. But clearly he thought I was a homosexual. Tell us. Well, I started, I. I had a girlfriend that was staying the night and I think he was pretty happy about that.
Brett
Was he?
Dale Hellister
Yeah, I think that made him.
Brett
Your mom telling, hey, get in there. Yeah.
Dale Hellister
She would say st. And he'd knock on the door, go, hey, open the door. No, I was like 20.
Guest
I just thought, I just thought. I said, what if he has the notebook?
Dale Hellister
Oh, he had my notebook about vagina poems. My uncle stayed with us for a little while and he locked himself out of the house because he drank a lot. And at two in the morning I heard the gate because my bedroom was by the side gate to the back door. And I heard it open, but I wasn't thinking because I was just full on doggy ripping and I'm going crazy on this girl. And my uncle poked his head in the window. He said, I was going to interrupt you, he said, but I, you know, I saw you were in the middle of the whole bang away. And I'm like, what? You saw that? He goes, yeah. And he goes, you took forever, by the way. I said I needed to get in the house. I'm like, that's what I do. And the next thing you know, my dad's like, Dennis told me what was going on. So big smile on his face, proud of your son. I don't care if you get her pregnant or not. Good work.
Brett
I'll pay for you.
Dale Hellister
I'll pay for that. At least you're putting it in the right place. I was worried you and that Mark boy were gonna not get pregnant together too.
Guest
Oh, and Charles was daddy.
Brett
It was awful.
Dale Hellister
Oh my God. I was back door on her and she's got this thing called a wahina. I don't even like to look at it. Looks like half a cut tomato.
Brett
Anyway, where did your mind go?
Dale Hellister

In this lively episode, the Holmberg’s Morning Sickness crew welcomes former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Dale Hellestrae for their regular Thursday banter. The conversation swerves between sports analysis, especially the Arizona Cardinals' release of Kyler Murray, and comedic debates on TV and movie preferences—including an extended ribbing of Dale for his low bar for what makes a good movie and his revelation that he’s never seen iconic TV and films like The Sopranos or The Godfather. The episode, as always, is fueled by camaraderie, relentless teasing, and sharp (sometimes NSFW) humor.
Never seen The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Scarface, or The Godfather.
Has seen Jaws, most Rocky and Rambo movies, but only highlights of Sling Blade.
“You never watched the Sopranos? Why?” – Dale (11:09)
“The language was…” – Brett (11:09)
“So what you just said was… your wife wouldn’t let you watch the Sopranos.” – Dale (11:11)
