- The “Fake Jerry” character impersonation, mimicking Jerry Jones’ notorious rambling interview style and malapropisms
This portion features The Musers’ popular “Fake Jerry” bit, where they parody Cowboys owner Jerry Jones through an exaggerated impersonation that captures his famously meandering and often confusing interview style. The fake Jerry discusses the team’s upcoming season opener against Cleveland with characteristic overconfidence and verbal fumbling.
The bit touches on real Cowboys storylines including questions about Jerry’s GM abilities, Dak Prescott’s contract situation, and season expectations. The impersonator delivers classic Jerry-isms with garbled phrases and mispronunciations, including calling columnist Tim Cowlishaw “Tim Coleslaw” and making nonsensical references to Deshaun Watson’s performance.
The segment showcases the show’s signature blend of sports talk and comedy, using the Jerry Jones parody to comment on actual team issues while entertaining listeners with the owner’s notoriously rambling communication style. The bit appears to be building toward discussion of Dak’s contract negotiations, as it cuts off mid-sentence while fake Jerry is explaining why he doesn’t want Dak to become like Deshaun Watson.

The bit began with “Jerry” complaining about a coach who wastes his precious remaining time with rambling football stories, leading to the memorable insult of calling the coach a “clock sucker” who he wouldn’t re-sign under any circumstances.
The impersonation then took an even more bizarre turn as “Jerry” discussed being busy with a “new baby” at home, which he clarified was his 30-year-old daughter, claiming she was keeping him up nights with feedings. This led into a tangent about needing to take his wife Gene shopping for designer handbags on Rodeo Drive as compensation for his busy off-season activities.
The segment concluded with Jerry asking listeners for recommendations on where to find convincing knockoff Louis Vuitton bags, while dramatically suggesting he might not “put on this headset again.” This bit exemplified The Musers’ ability to blend sports commentary with completely absurd scenarios, using familiar Dallas sports figures as vehicles for comedy that ranges from mildly irreverent to completely surreal.
