I really

it's Dallas Clark by the title you know what you're getting into here he gave us two hours of his time the energy that this man brought to this podcast was insane we talked literally into the morning hours and this

Dallas episode for 500 episodes is everything we could have wanted. We hope you

guys enjoy it. Sit back, relax, Let's have a day. Let's go Oh, I was that. Welcome in

to the 500th episode of the Wash Up Walkons podcast a momentous day really. We weren't sure if we'd make it to five episodes or 50 episodes but here we are at 500. Our guest on the show today,

former Hawkeye tight end from right at the beginning of the Kefera, he won the Mackie Award

before getting drafted 24th overall to the colts, spent most of his career decade plus in Indianapolis, a bunch of other cool stuff, Super Bowl champion, but most importantly, this is a man who stays true to his word because last summer

he stood outside a meeting room in the Vanderbilt football complex over a

smorgas board of Chipotle that was being served at

Tieden you and he told us to our face on camera that he would make the 500th show appearance and here he sits Dallas Clark

welcome to the show what is going on boys let's go let's frick and go this is okay so you okay you I mean like Billy Joel has like in in Madison Square Garden he has like a banner that's like you know 40 you know 40 straight sellouts you know like what what I mean I am honored like 500 like I don't know whether to be honored or disappointed that like there's 499 people more important than me or or or you're just holding out in and and and waiting and hoping to make 500 extra special which one is it I don't know yeah yeah so okay good point

I hate to put you on the spot right I mean I mean, hell of an introduction. I appreciate it, that was money, spot on.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hmm, how do we answer that? Well, I'll say this.

Not every show has had a guest. So, I'll say half of those episodes were just us on here trying to fill airspace and just sounded stupid. Okay, so maybe only 200 or 250 guests before you.

Wait, by the way, by the way, it's not sounding, it's smoking mirrors it's just fooling

fooling the audience it's not sounding it's just fooling the audience give a

little give a little nuggets you know and when we started this thing and we actually got to a hundred episodes,

we decided, dang, we should probably have like

somebody big for episode 100, right?

We hadn't had, we had nobody big at that time. I mean we had anger on for an episode. We had Joe like Josie on for an episode, but they just that was like early on when we like we were just exhausting all of our immediate friendships like hey you have to come on this show and so we got George on for episode 100 right we got kiddle and then we got to go we got to 200 and we're like, okay, we got to continue this sort of, and this actually segues well into one of my questions.

We got to stay in the Iowa legend sphere here.
