Episode 2 – America's Team: The Gambler & His Cowboys

Fresh off the Netflix red carpet premiere of America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys in Los Angeles, CA (streaming August 19, 2025), we’re bringing the star power and behind-the-scenes energy straight to the Hey Now, Let’s Chase It podcast. This week, MC and Day dive deep into the question that’s been sparking debates for decades:

Why are the Dallas Cowboys still considered America’s Team… despite not winning a Super Bowl in 30 years?

We hit the Dallas Cowboys’ Frisco Star to chase answers—talking with fans, locals, and even NFL legend Darren Woodson, who didn’t hesitate to point to the numbers:

From there, the conversation opens up into:

• Brand Power & Marketing: MC’s marketing background comes into play as we break down how strategic branding has kept the Cowboys at the top of the sports world for decades, even outpacing other NFL teams in global recognition.
• Culture & Texas Pride: How the Lone Star State’s identity fuels loyalty, attracting fans from every background—whether you’re at a Chinese restaurant, an Indian grocery store, or tailgating before a game.
• PR Insider Perspective: Special guest, PR pro and god-sister to Cowboys legend Drew Pearson, shares why Jerry Jones’ marketing machine is unmatched and why fans keep coming back, championship or not.
• Day’s Unfiltered Sports Philosophy: From cheerleader shout-outs to the logic of “wins are the only metric that matters,” Day shares why he avoids sports debates and how he flips online negativity into positive engagement.

We also explore the evolution of NFL fandom in the social media era, how marketing has adapted over the last 20 years, and why standing-room-only tickets at AT&T Stadium are still a hot commodity.

This episode blends NFL history, cultural commentary, humor, and candid street-level conversations with people who live and breathe the Dallas Cowboys brand—whether or not they watch every snap.
