Thank you And that's who Dan represents bro people don't realize how high morale he had the team, the spirit he gave the defense, you know, the energy, what he kind of gave all the players. Like, you know, sharp week, fight night,

showing us boxing clips of mother efforts getting knocked out, like, that's the type of dude he was. He had me ready to run through a wall. He had me ready to run through a wall. He's just a genuine person. And I sit in that commander's team now. Yeah, for sure. Why's everything got to stab you?

That's the way it is, my man. Big football weekend to talk about. I'm going to listen. I want to listen. The best football weekend, perhaps, of the year yeah just every year division around playoffs I think so you're gonna get something good I would bet this is the biggest Vegas weekend for travel for like among big sport among the like between Wild Card Conference and Divisional, I bet Divisional's numero

uno. Yeah, I think that's why we went to Cosm yesterday, because our buddy Jeff said that's what he and his buddies have done for years, but now he's got a list of things he's done with, and one of those things is Vegas. So he didn't go to Vegas instead he went to Cosom in Dallas yeah I wanted to talk about the list of things he's done with well we could do it later I'm Dan McDowell I'm Jake Kemp I'm Blake Jones who's this guy some other guys here this is Dexter he's our hero today Dexter he

answered the call his video man for today. Yeah, you know there were two people with similar credentials But I thought let's go with the Dexter. Yeah You just like the name Dexter. I think we need to get on Dexter's good side. I Would think what Dexter at heart is a good man He only will murder those who have he deems it to be a proper murdering. Yeah, but it's kind of... deserving of it. Yes, but it's selfish. What do you mean? Because he has to get rid of this side of him somehow and so he chooses to kill people. But again, the people that he chooses to kill kind of deserve it

anyway. Well, our video equipment that we've been using is actually at the inauguration. It's in the process of a property ownership transfer. Jake doesn't want to talk about Dexter. Videoman is... nobody does. Videoman is at the inauguration, along with the Paul brothers and Connor McGregor and other... Are they really? Oh yeah. Theo Vaughn... Are they really? Oh yeah.

Theo Vonn. Are we covering the inauguration today at all? Akash Singh. Akash is doing a show with, I think it's with Full Send or All In, one of the two big bro crypto lift weight podcasts that Trump was on. They have Akash on today for live coverage.

Yes, we are covering the inauguration. I'm Big Bro. I'm Big Bro crypto guy. Did I say it wrong? Who goes to the gym. No, dude. No? You don't even know about these guys.

I'm not that. I mean, you were kind of with one of them yesterday. He made a quick 5X on Trump coin at 3 o'clock in the morning the night before. Yeah, that's, yeah. I'm on things like after everybody else gets on them. Sure. I don't know about them when they're happening. Yeah.

You look cool in your Dustin Keller hoodie though. Hey thanks man. It's very warm. It's necessary. It's very cold out there. Don't know if you guys have noticed. The weather in DFW, extremely cold in the D. Yeah, but it's not like pain in the ass.

It's not freezing or anything. You know, we're not in a vortex yet. No, but it's keeping me inside. Polar? Of the polar variety, perhaps. So we're live streaming today because Dexter is our video man. And we will have Landry Locker on with us later to talk football.

Our NFL insider. His team got screwed. Yeah, he covers Houston. Them versus everybody. That's right. Yeah, I want to get into that. But I also want to get into a weekend check brought to us by Community Mechanical. They're the guys. It's HVAC. Have they been out to your place yet? No, because everything's not done. But he's gonna be very helpful for me because when everything's done he's gonna come in and be like, well here's all the ways

that they probably screwed you up. They're coming to my house Wednesday. Look at that. That's a business Wednesday. Yeah, they've been out here for preventative maintenance, just to kind of, I don't think I've had anybody look at our stuff, our HVAC unit in years. And they actually found an exhaust duct in my furnace was loose and

basically dumping carbon monoxide into the attic. Sick. And that could be a bad bit. So it'd be a great time now especially before the big big like you said winter vortex or whatever they're gonna call it this year gets here for some preventative maintenance and you know if you need to replace your unit, they would absolutely love to handle that. So whether it's changing on an old system or just making sure that all the rooms are heating and cooling properly, Community Mechanical will do it at an affordable price. They're big listeners and they will give you an extra special deal if you mentioned that you heard about them right here. Communitydfw.com or 469-667-7290 says here on the copy, call or text.

Let's say you just like texting. This is straight from Travis. Tell them they can text that main line, especially after hours. There's a good chance I'm on there responding. Oh, yeah Get your cups a little bit. You're feeling a little loosey goosey and you're like, I wonder what Travis Test that out tonight How big a boy are you? Yeah, so what a weekend it was man

Do you want to lead off with weekend check I don't know that I have the closer So thanks to them. What a weekend it was, man. Do you want to lead off with weekend check? I don't know that I have the closer. Well, we can transition into what we did yesterday. But it was a great weekend for football. I know that. I went to my first daddy-daughter dance on Saturday. Did you do that back in the day?

January 18th? Yeah. What for? The city puts it on, I guess, or the school district puts it on. Isn't it for Valentine's Day? No. Okay, I mean, you're about to have one at Valentine's Day. I used to always go to the one at the Grapevine Rec.

There's not one for us. There's one for moms and sons in March. There's still the one at the Grapevine Rec? If there is, I've not been made aware of it. There's a little calendar for events. OK. Yeah. Oh, that was definitely a thing.

That's a cool bit. I love it. It was through the Rec. It was at a church. But yeah, it was cool. I don't know, I didn't really know what to expect. I've never done anything like that before. Put on a suit.

Yeah, you're play acting, you're greasing her up, you're grooming her to know how these things go in the future. That part's a little uncomfortable. That part's a little uncomfortable. No, I had to get, I gave my daughter, she was a little four-year-old, I gave her one of those drink covers you could put on your drink and just drink out of a straw just so you don't get roofied. Yeah, I gave mine to dental dam.

Oh, OK. Interesting. You want to cover all the safety. Yep. It was mermaid themed, so I bought a tie that looked kind of like turquoise light blue fish scales. And I was like, I'm absolutely killing this. Like nobody else is doing this.

They were. Oh, they were? They were. If you live in an area like this, I feel like you just need to assume that if you put a little effort in, you'll be in the average group. Because there's going to be a guy who shows up with like a cinema grade King Triton. Sure, there's going to be a guy in a flannel and jeans. There were a couple of those. But yes, just put a suit jacket on and a tie.

Yeah, and I made sure it was like I said, underwater themed. You'll be mid, but at least you won't be the worst. Yeah, and that's a conversation to be had with your daughter too, because she got a mermaid dress, very nice. She had a bag and I'm like, you look amazing and we're talking about it when we get there. Same deal for the ladies, for the little girls. There's gonna be some girls,

their shit's just better than yours. And we both know it. So she would find somebody who had the super ornate mermaid get up on and it was clearly they had spent some money and some time She's like is that one better than mine, and I just look at her like ah. What are you? It is it is there's gonna be some better, but like one of the stations was putting on makeup for them. That's great. Oh Yeah, we especially if like that's a thing you're trying to hold off Yeah, like I don't think you should wear makeup to your teenager.

Full on blush, mascara. Yeah, I don't know. Do you have a station with scissors where you could just cut a little cleave slit? Yeah. How about a tattoo? Why not? Tattoos aren't whore coded.

Well, it's just the. Yeah, but why not? Yeah. At that age, my point is just the age. It's, it's, like, how about an ear piercing center? Like that's something my wife had a big rule about. No ear piercing till you're a teenager. Didn't she that held? Yeah.

I mean, obviously the fight that we're going to have is the phone. But it also made it more desirable. Yeah. If you lay something out so early and you say you cannot do this until this time, now that's going to be the next six years you're just thinking about, man, I can't wait until I get that ear pierced. Yeah. Just give him free rein right away, you know? Perhaps. I mean, I have another friend. Yeah, I had a friend who pierced their baby's ears, and I think that's common somewhat common Yeah, I think it feels like in the south it is

But so that was fun, you know Four-year-old I got a friend who has a four-year-old with a tongue piercing. It's really How are tongue piercings doing? I? Feel like they went the way of like my like how old are you Dexter? 38 I feel like they went the way of like my like how old are you Dexter? 38 So like when corn and limp biscuit and all that stuff was really popular I feel like the tongue ring was just popping 311 bands like dirty whites, you know Dirty whites I think dominated the tongue ring space and I was amongst a lot of dirty whites

And so I think it feels like it's been phased out Yeah, I don't see his nose hoop is a bigger deal now do see that still than the tongue piercing do see that at the coffee place sometimes the eyebrow Pierce Yeah The upper area my roommate had one of those my daughter's recently both just got the upper ear Which is the cartilage? I guess that actually hurts and stuff. Yeah. A lot more.

But that's a deal. So I had a situation come up on Friday. I was telling Dan about this a little bit yesterday, but I have a financial situation where I'm getting charged by the Wall Street Journal $42 a month for a subscription that I can't access so that I can't cancel it. Haven't had a paid subscription to the Wall Street Journal in a year. When I log into the Wall Street Journal.

Do you know where it's charging? Yeah. What card? I do. Well, cancel that card. Well, ultimately, Friday I had to. OK. So I called the Wall Street Journal. But everything else is connected to that card, probably that card. Well, ultimately Friday I had to. Okay.

So I called, you know, I called the Wall Street. Everything else is connected to that card probably. Yeah. So I filed like a debt, fraud resolution dispute, whatever, about a month ago. I'm like, I called the Wall Street Journal. They say you don't have a card on file. And so I called Wells Fargo and they're like, well, we're going to do an investigation, which I'm sure they got their best people on it.

And they credited me like five charges of $40. And then a week later, they said, actually, we've determined these are your fault. They send you a letter, the money comes back out of your account. I'm like, fine, whatever, F it. But then the next day, I got charged again. So I'm like, obviously, there's something going on here that I can't control. So I called Friday and I'm like, you know,

they're escalating this. That's when you know, they're like, hey, I can't handle this. I gotta call in the top dog. So I get to this guy, again, it's Friday afternoon, he's probably beaten, I'm beaten, I'm explaining all this to him. And I had this thing happen

where you're on the phone with a customer service person, almost certainly needs to not be an Indian because an Indian is primarily trying to get you through the transaction, which I actually appreciate. Not a lot of filler. This is an older white gentleman. He had time to talk. And so he kind of started, you know,

leveling with me a little bit. He's like, I gotta tell you, I feel like you have to cancel this card. And I'm like, no. Now I'm playing into it. He's like, I know, this sucks. It's gonna like, no. Now I'm playing into it. He's like, I know this sucks. It's gonna, you got a ton of stuff tied to it. Now you're gonna have to change it all.

All because these hucksters, somehow they're having a great time. You know, they're just living. That's actually what he said. Somebody's having a great time on your card. And I jokingly said, yeah, reading all the latest financial news. And he's like, if they can even read it.

Ah, hell yeah. And that felt like he was saying you're getting ripped off by a person who's too dumb to read the Wall Street Journal. And I say that because he made a couple of other comments that felt like social commentary. Like he said something to the effect of, well, at one point he was like, I'm going to look into something if you're willing to go this route.

I'm like, what is, is this like a special ops mission? Or? Yeah, like, I'm gonna have to call you back on a different line, and. Yeah, and he said, and I, because I wrote some stuff down, he's like, I know that, you know, when you think about replacing this card, you're thinking like, how do I live?

You know, I gotta use this card everywhere, and I'm like, I have not been thinking that at all. And he's like, I know how troubling this must be for you. And in my head, I'm like, I meant to do this a week ago. And then convenience, but it's, yeah. And then he just, again, he was sort of just talking about society at large, where I was like, yeah, you know, it sucks, but he's like, these guys will do anything.

He's like, they're so advanced now. He's like, it's just, it's insane, the level they'll go to to try to rip people off. And I don't know if this was a hat tip to the change in the administration or what, but he's like, next week, he's like, we're gonna be trying some new stuff. I'm like, damn, like, I've heard about some of the stuff,

like Mexicans and stuff I haven't heard about. This car thing, but I just started loving it. I was like, I know, it's crazy. Every time he'd say something, I'm like, I can't. So how long are you on the phone with this guy? 25 minutes. And by probably minute six is when the personal relationship starts.

And I'm like, yeah, I can't believe it either. And I swear to you, the moment that I just stopped and was like, I can't take this, because I was laughing at myself, he's like, you're probably out the 160, 200 bucks. He's like, we just got to stop this from going forward. And I was like, yeah, I know. I was like, that's a lot of money to me.

I was like, guys like us, a couple hardworking guys. He's like, oh, I know it yeah I'm like 200 bucks might not be a lot to everybody right yeah yeah but for me you know oh I guess there goes dinner but I don't know have you're good I guess sometimes I just think I it's like turning into your dad everything my dad did my whole life he was just trying to entertain himself whether we were at a restaurant, a drive-through, a driving range, and I realized, what am I doing? Yeah.

Like, I'm a quiet guy, and instead I'm like, yeah, I don't know, I feel like it should be 16 teams to this complete stranger. You're becoming, dad. My daughter is a cashier at a grocery store. Ah, receptionist. A receptionier at a grocery store. Ah, receptionist. A receptionist at a grocery store. And she has regulars, old dudes, that just want to come in and talk.

They're buying very minimal stuff, and they come in almost every day. Because they could come in Monday and buy their stuff for the whole week. Yeah, but they need to get out of the house every day. Yeah, they get out of the house, have a conversation, it's a little quest. There's a line behind them They don't care. They're here. This is their time It's a better I guess than going to a bar and getting drunk Yeah, middle of the day on a Monday But my grandpa used to go to a place called the beef house drink black coffee and smoke cigarettes just to get out of the house

place called the beef house, drink black coffee and smoke cigarettes just to get out of the house. Have you guys ever encountered the guy at the gas station? I had one like this at one of the ones that I used to go to a lot more. I think he kind of just hired himself. Like he was an old dude and he definitely didn't work there but like he would walk around the store and they didn't seem to mind. Straighten up. Just kind of straighten straighten up like he'd occasionally have a broom out front he appeared to either be formerly a cop or the military I don't know he was always talking to the cops that were there but he just kind of hung out and I'm like I don't know but I don't want to I don't want to run crossways with this guy like

he seems like he's in charge. How'd the date end? Did you guys leave on good terms? Dude, he gave me the most heartfelt, like, good week. Hope you have a good weekend. I've never. And you know what? I did.

You returned to Bali? And multiple times. Dude, I hope you do too. He's like, I sincerely hope. Hope you get a little time off. At this point, he knows about the kids. Yeah. He's like, enjoy the time with the family.

And I was like, dude, Terrence, you too. Look, I got this tie. I think she's going to love it tomorrow. She will, dude. You look great. And I thought about it multiple times, like on Saturday and Sunday. I was like, this weekend rocks. Maybe this is your new thing. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. So my weekend.

I mean, yesterday, yeah. Besides football. We'll do that in football talk. We had a shared experience yesterday. But I want to tell you guys about, to illustrate my story, I have to tell you about Dave Vergetti. The baseball player?

Blake, have you ever heard of Dave Ragetti? I don't think so. Okay, he was a Yankees pitcher. Okay. Scum. Career ended in 1995, so there was a chance you would have heard of him, but he had a 16-year career. And he was, because he was with the Yankees, it was very well publicized, you know. But he was a rookie in 1981 and was pretty good. Led the league and, you

know, lowest hits per nine. FIP, ERA plus, before anybody knew what those things were, he was leading the league in them. Wow. But apparently, oh, strikeouts per nine too, that's a big thing for Bill James and the young pitcher. If a young pitcher doesn't at least rank in the average of strikeouts per nine,

he does not view a long career ahead for them. But, Dave Rigetti led baseball in strikeouts per nine in his rookie year. And he won Rookie of the Year. So the eye test did pass as well. You didn't need FIP and all this stuff. You knew Dave Rigetti, best rookie this year. The next year, again, lead baseball in strikeouts per nine. The Yankees weren't a great team. He was only 11 and 10.

But 3-7 ERA. Again, a lot of the numbers were good. He's Dave Orghetti. Come on, yeah. 183 innings pitched. The following year, again, a great year. ERA goes down. He goes 14 and 8.

Again, this is for a Yankees team that's not great. 3-4 ERA. 217 innings pitched. Led the league in FIP once again. He's right up there in strikeouts per nine, but didn't lead. The point is, we got a really good picture on our hands a young he's in his prime he's twenty three years old twenty four years old

uh... eating you two hundred innings a year but around this time in the middle of the eighties is when uh... people started getting really horny about saves dan kwisenberry was a famous submarine pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. And they would have the Rolade's Relief Man of the Year and the Fireman of the Year. That was a big deal, getting saves.

I don't remember exactly when Eckersley burst on the scene, but this might be around that time as well. So everybody needed a closer. I need my closer. I need a guy that can pitch that's the most important inning in baseball. So the Yankees have this in his prime stud young starting pitcher who could eat you 200 innings a year and they announced in the offseason we're gonna convert him to a closer.

And so what? And you can't even fathom this in this day and age. No. That would be so insane. It's, wait, you're going to take this guy who could eat all these innings, who could do this on a regular basis, he can get through the order three times. No problem. He's not a guy that needs, you know,

Eckersley, famously, was at the end of his career. He was a starter who was a really good starter but then was losing his stuff and but he could still get through the order once. So it was like, wait, what if we make him a closer and that's all he has to do is get through a couple of guys and he was great. Yeah, Eckersley was 32 when he became a closer. Jose Mesa was another example of that. A pretty good starter, but the Indians said, what if we make you into a closer? Because you just lose effectiveness. That's the way to use.

Anyway, not a stud at the peak of his powers. Dave Orghetti. So really, you're just seeing this guy who can do this one thing, but you're using him to do this other thing. And a much less thing. I say all this. I say all this just to tell you. What did Dave do? Try to make Xander stock-drunk? I went to the grocery store and Xander was bagging groceries.

Great call. Xander, as you know, is the world's greatest grocery store receptionist. He's unbelievable. I told you about him before. It was so impressive that he's scanning, putting in a bag as he scans, he's setting them in the correct place. It's so quick. You could be in a bag as he scans, he's setting them in the correct place. It's so quick. You could be in a line seven deep, and you're going to get checked out before somebody next to you

in a line three deep. You have to look at the line and weigh the Zander effect. The Zander effect is real. Yeah. It's kind of like you've got to look at a couple of cars you might want to get behind. You're going to get behind this old beater with an old lady driving it, or you're

going to get behind Blake. You're going to get behind this old beater with an old lady driving it or you gonna get behind you know behind Blake? You're gonna get behind Blake because you're gonna get moving. Anyway I did go through the line just to just to interact with Xander. He's as good of a bagger. I mean he already it's kind of like LeBron is as good of a passer as he is a yeah you know like five and the best one. What if they made LeBron just a center, a post-up center, and said, no, don't bring the ball up the floor and pat? They did for like a year, and he was the best center to ever do it.

So yeah, it's really just on management to put them where they have the most value. Right, so Dave Rigetti wasted as a closer. Xander. The central market was just bagging. Mac Brown trying to make RG3 and Johnny Manziel a safety. Well Jeff Fisher Yeah, it's somebody trying to hold him down. They see what he's doing Maybe it's a I don't know you could there's some that are crying racism. I'm not one of those

Yeah, I'm not saying oh he let the white lady do the the checkout But but no there's something to what you're saying. A coach who thinks this kid thinks he's the team, well, we're not giving him any carries today. We'll see how he likes blocking. Just check the ego a little bit, X-Man. And the other thing about the weekend, it's really freezing and I had a constant fire.

And I can't wait. When today's show ends, I'm going to start a fire in the fireplace. This is like this is like Ultimate thing nobody wants to hear me complain about because our house is very nice now but I'm kind of a caveman and that well, it's awesome because it makes my wife happy that the house looks nice I all I really care about is it shit works

You know Like last time we remodeled our bathroom, the toilet didn't really work properly. I'm like, what are we doing here? We just spent all this money. One of those things, I'm not a huge fan of the dishwasher. Not the- The new dishwasher?

Yeah. I don't know how you test drive that before, and she said it was an expensive one that they recommended. That's the thing, dude. But I also think maybe as long as us being like, ooh, environment. I think we've cucked a lot of our appliances. We really have. Because it doesn't work.

And I'm dish guy. I don't know that Trump's right about drip, drip, dripping, shower heads or whatever. He may be onto something, though. But yes, the energy efficient, the, you know what? Give me the hot coils. Remember when you would drop a plastic cup down there and it would melt and you couldn't use it anymore?

Got me. Like I want the hot coils. I don't want this drip dry crap. I want to use lots of water. I want my washing machine full of water and just mix it around in the water, not like, oh, now it's just gonna spin. Just mix it around in the water not like oh now. Yes, it's gonna spin a little

Like a couple people lose a finger in this process. You know like they do with mine and diamonds. Just don't tell me about it I don't care. I want to clean That's not great, and then the other one is we're You guys are where you have to get like a heat balance done in your house For what mechanical might be able to help you with that. But I am not aware of it. Community Mechanical will likely be helping me with that when they come out to do their full check. So what does that mean?

It means that like my wife's office, if you put the temp on 73 is like 90. Yeah. And our bedroom is like 50. Yep. And they've been messing with it for a month and I'm like, you know what? Yeah.

I got people coming out, Don't worry about it. Yeah. I'm like, should my hands be going numb? Yeah. In my own home? Seems weird. I just want stuff to work. How's the Jake office?

Not completed at all. OK, nothing? No. I mean, it's there, but it's not ready to be furnished yet. OK. There's so much BS. it's not even funny. It's too cold to pour concrete, and it's snowing, and they're out of town for New Year's Day, and like, I get that like Chinese people have their own New Year, but I don't want to hear that when it comes to people in the Western Hemisphere.

I don't want to hear they took two weeks off for the New Year's. I'm sorry, like yes, I get it. You went to see your family in another country, but the Chinese are the only ones who had this built in, I feel like. And they do. They used to be a big deal in my mom's business. What, the Chinese New Year? Yeah. She gets so pissed off.

I'm like, it's kind of genius on their part. Because they get our New Year, too. Yeah. Yeah. China, man. They know everything. Except how to keep tick tock Ryan. Let's back for now. Yeah. Like how about it? Wasn't gone. It was gone. Like for what? A minute? Like a couple of hours or something. Oh, okay. But it's, I mean, yeah. Another, geez, all these stories that are. I really wanted to hear from the twins on that. The Winklevoss twins?

Your twins. The Cavender twins? Oh. The Rose twins. The Rose twins. How many more? How many more twins can I name? Yeah.

Bud Light. Or Ang and Chang Bunker twins? I think so. Yeah. They're Siamese twins. They're called Siamese twins. Yeah. Yeah, I got nothing else. It's OK.

The Morris twins. I really just wanted to know if they are they like, oh, TikTok's so old anyways. And I feel like in my head, they're kind of boxed in here. Does Matt Stafford have a twin? No, he has a best friend named Clayton Kershaw. I seriously thought I saw something this weekend that Matt Stafford have a twin? No, he has a best friend named Clayton Kershaw. I seriously thought I saw something this weekend that Matt Stafford has a twin.

That would suck so bad. Like how would I have never heard of that before? Perhaps because we're just so focused on Clayton Kershaw? Maybe. Anyways, TikTok. Still possibly going away. Do you want to hear from the big man? Yeah, because the president of TikTok is-Tock is at the inauguration.

Are we doing this now? Is this live? Sure. Right. Which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States. The United States have been think of this spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal. I thought this was the inauguration, you're supposed to... Like say thanks? Hey! Thanks, everything's gonna be good.

But he's got his set. Yeah, yeah. So he's been working on this set. In different clubs. For like a year, and now it's ready for HBO. of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated American ships are being severely overcharged boring I treated fairly in any way boring or form and that includes what do you think of Trump's teeth Navy they gotta be Panama Canal and we didn't give it to Panama I'm not a good student back. He looks good JD Vance is such a pussy

I'm sorry Why did he show this random guy in a Patriots hoodie? He's a patriot. Oh Okay, that's lame My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history's greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success. He started going off with the Panama. We will not be deterred.

Together we will end the chronic disease epidemic all right bring up a whole code I wouldn't be shocked. I want to know what happens throughout the day for sure It's a new day fellas. You have a weekend check for us Blake. Yeah, so Last weekend The Shalom softball League had their draft. And I was drafted to the Cardinals. So this year I will be a Cardinal.

I was 115. Okay. First round, still get the bigger contract. There are 14 guys better than Blake in this league. About to pull an Amon Ra. That's gotta this league. You about to pull an Amon Ra? That's got to hurt. I want you to do an Amon Ra. Are you humbled?

I'm thinking about it. You memorized all 14. Name each one of them. I'm thinking about it. Because now, as I'm getting older, I'm trying to not care as much about being competitive and all that kind of stuff. But then I realized that I kind of need to go back to that.

You need it. I'm telling you. And you know, we started doing reads for better help. And one of their things is like, adults need hobbies. They need something to chase. And here in the past few weeks, I've realized, I need something like that. So I think I will Keep a list of 14 names and See if we can't have a better season than those guys dude

I love this ops ops plus something like that do they do they post the stats? Of course they do I was reading them every Monday for like a year. Yeah No, I mean there's you know's probably, I don't know, eight, nine, 10 guys that are better than me. But yeah, seeing 115, like, okay. Now, it's a bigger issue. Maybe this is what I need. Why were you exposed to the draft?

It resets every season. You don't get to like play with your buddies? You can tie yourself to family members. And so, like, whoever took me has to take my dad in his round. In his round? They have like an old guy round? Well everyone is rated 1 through 12. Is your, this is for real? Your dad plays? Yeah, this is why I play in this league.

Okay. Uh, so he, yeah, so everyone, I mean they try to rate like 20 guys per each round and that just kind of helps, it helps parity. Of course. We're trying to strive for parity. And so. They do have like 20 teams, Dan. Yeah, it's a big league.

And so yesterday they held a, we met at the batting cages and this was something that I would have blown off, probably even last year, two years ago. But I thought- Open workout? Voluntary. What do voluntary mean? And so I thought, no, I'm gonna get back into it. I'm gonna, I don't know, I'm gonna care.

I'm gonna be a little more competitive. So you go to a slow pitch competitive. Show up for my team. So you go to a slow pitch softball batting cage. Yeah. That seems really old man. Man, you are transitioning. Here you are. Yeah, I know.

Way to go. You've become an old man. I know, it pains me in some way. Did you guys all talk about how it's great that Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley are like. Nobody had any energy left because they had just been climaxing all day watching running football. Yeah, isn't this great man? Well, yeah, we just said, you know, it's good to watch football be played in the elements.

Oh my gosh, for sure. Snow plus all the inside zone. All the guard tackle counters. Yeah. Big weekend for you guys. Lot of flip the field talk. All the guard tackle counters. Yeah. Big weekend for you guys. Lot of flip the field talk. Lot of, I don't think you should go forward on fourth

and short at the 40. Yeah, we were discussing how the Chief's offense is great. Their defense has really improved. But really, they turned the corner when they got the punt god. Yeah. Because they're just constantly backing teams up into their own territory.

It's amazing. So, something, so yeah. Yeah, because they're just constantly backing teams up into their own territory. It's amazing so So something so yeah, I have Made fun of the person I am now a lot and I hate who I'm becoming in a way But I just need it. I need something to to get up for and so yesterday in the cage I'm putting my phone on the ground putting it in slow-mo And so yesterday in the cage, I'm putting my phone on the ground, putting it in slow mo, watching my swing, trying to figure out, okay, look, my hands are a little late here, you know, I need to, whatever. And so, but- But if I wear a tank top...

Yeah, but I'm not posting this video online. I'm not doing this for other people. I'm just trying to improve myself. And that was the thing that we, like, I was playing we didn't have like I never saw me Shoot a jump shot or not get a baseball or anything. Well, but I'm saying now This technology is pretty awesome. If you want to actually improve and get better. Yeah, it's very helpful. Yeah, so Expect big things from the Cardinals this season. Hell yeah. Because I'm putting my damn mind to it. The other thing I have is.

14 teams are going to be so upset. Oh my god. Just wait. That they passed on this guy. Just wait. They didn't know how this would motivate him. OK, Archie's Cubs. See how this works for you in the end.

Ruckles Brewers. Yeah. these cubs. We'll see how this works for you in the end. Ruckles Brewers. Yeah. So, this next thing I have will make me not only dumb, but also racist. Yeah, alright. If we want to play Is It Racist? Now you fit in with us, finally. So, and I feel like this just kind of leans into my established run phase I'm now in.

But I like- Don't go too far, bud. I like when restaurants hire employees that fit the theme of the restaurant. What I mean by that is the Hawaiian bros next to my house only hires islanders and I love it. Okay. When I walk in and they say aloha- You don't want a white guy at your Chinese restaurant. That's what I'm saying. Yes, thank you. Yeah. I've heard from like Asian guy

who said, you know, he grew up here and he works at a, what do you call the ones with the? Habachi? Yeah, the Habachi. Right. And he does fake accent. Yeah. That's funny.

That's very interesting. You can get away with that? Apparently so. If you're Asian yourself, you can get away with it. Oh, I thought you meant he was a white guy. No, no, no. He was Asian guy. I think we've talked about this before.

He grew up here. He's from here. Whatever. He's a Texan. Yeah, sure. But he plays it up and pretends that he doesn't really know the whole language and everything. I want a white guy to do it So no you don't

To try the accent. Oh, okay Like like what I was bored like two kids who grew up and then you do the if you're the chef you get to Do the Tiger Woods? Yeah Coca-Cola. No, I mean it's a story as old as time Like you don't want if you want good food and I mean it's a story as old as time. Like, you don't want, if you want good food, and I would even go so far as to say, you know, if you want good food from the whites,

I would prefer poor whites. It's just the reality, right? I mean, generally. That's why, like, there's, and another way to do it too, is there's a dumpling place in South Lake. And to me it's amazing. But I'm like, I wonder if this is just really good white people dumplings. But then when I go there to pick up my food, it's like 60% Chinese people in there.

That Dragon House? Yeah. The formerly, former owners had a brothel running out of there or something? Yeah. Yeah. The fortune house, they cleaned that up. Oh, they call it fortune house now? They used to call it fortune house, I'm pretty sure. Then they got raided, which was unfortunate for all the women involved in the scandal,

but super unfortunate for the shrimp dumplings. But it's like almost all Chinese people when you eat there. Yeah, it's a good sign. So I'm like, all right, straight. Oh, they're eating. Yes. Okay, yeah, that's like a- That's another level.

Yeah. So that's what makes me dumb, is I like seeing the Asian guy at the Asian restaurant. That's not dumb. Whatever. That's just learned experience. Along those same lines, I have one other one from the file of my house, guys working on my house.

What about if you're doing, so I've said before, if I'm just sitting there on my computer and they're coming in, that's not good. Last week I was stretching, and they were outside in the snow, just kinda looking at the pool area, and I was like, god, I have a yoga mat out. So those are bad.

What if I'm doing work in the house but it's like dishes? Like they were in the kitchen Friday doing some touch ups on the crown molding and I was washing dishes. My guess in their culture, thought to be a female job. Yeah, yeah, no that's not man's work. Not really sure the last time I saw a Latino male doing dishes ever, now that I think about it.

Or you know, perhaps in a professional setting. But like they were drilling, you know, and I was like I'm gonna let that one soak a little more. So, which is, like would they rather me just sit there? Yeah, you kinda gotta just get out of there. Why don't I just put a little gown on or a little apron. You gotta walk around and pretend you're doing something different, yeah.

It's carry a kettlebell around. Or maybe get on the phone as if you're, you know. Trading. Making deals or something, yeah. Sell it. I thought of you yesterday, cause I was in my gas station getting my free coffee of the day.

This guy was on the phone saying, he was bitching that his contractor does nothing but sit on his ass all day. Always on the phone. Yeah. Oh, that might be Jake's guy. No, so the theme restaurants, that's what makes me dumb. Here's what makes me racist.

So I walk in a pay way, because I had to buy one, get one. Walk up to the guy, it's a makes me dumb. Here's what makes me racist. So I walk into Payway, because I had to buy one, get one. Walk up to the guy, it's a nice Chinese man. I'm thinking, love it. I'm gonna love my experience here. To Payway. The whitest Chinese restaurant ever. Again, I had a BOGO.

It's not like Hawaiian bros, but anyways. No, you're right. No, I'm very commercialized here. Walk up to the guy, and I was really thrown off because he had a Bob Sturm level deep voice. And I don't know. But Chinese accent? If that chick, yeah.

Okay, yeah. Chinese accent but a really deep voice. Yeah, I don't know that I'm familiar with that. And it really threw me off. Said name for the order. Blake. It just took me a second. That was not what I was expecting.

Here, pull my audio up real quick, and see what this sounds like. This is from TikTok. Is it still active? I don't want to talk. OK, I thought it'd be in Chinese. That's a Chinese guy singing in a deep voice. Do like a, because I'm trying to find a way to like in a deep voice do like a because I'm

trying to find a way like what does it sound like so you can go ahead and I just don't have a deep voice is the thing you can't pretend no Tiger Woods name for the order like I don't know that I've noticed like a higher pitched voice from Asian males really maybe kind of soft-spoken but yeah but I don't know I it I was trying to rack my brain I just don't really remember a deep voice Asian guy okay would you still be able to make love to your wife if she had a deep Asian voice? Um Deep Asian accent accent, but she looks like she looks now. I think I can rally person you've ever seen for sure

Okay You think she's making a lot of noise while we're doing it Yeah, when is this gonna be a concern? Pretty quiet pillow stuffed in her mouth Noises yeah boy calm down over there Yeah, when is this going to be a concern? She's got the pillow stuffed in her mouth. The noises. Yeah, boy, calm down over there. As I recall, she in the past has ripped a nipple ring out of you because she was so into it.

That is true. Sounds like she's kind of crazy. That was the Blake that slipped a 15th in the first round. Maybe I need to get back to those days. Yeah. I like this. Maybe I need some of that purple drink that Ja Rule was pushing. I still have mine. It was Cameron. Cameron.

It's like called Pink Tiger or something. I keep staring at it. Like every weekend I'm like, man I'm going to bone so hard this weekend. And I leave it there. You know what? This is when you know you're an old man, Dan. Somebody bought us that stuff after Cameron drank it on Fox News. It's like his own sex potion. And I'm worried about my heart. I look at it and I'm like, this could legit kill me.

You're all healthy now. You can do it. Yeah. It used to be your pound and anything. No doubt. Hey let's bring Landry on. Let's do some NFL talk. We never talked about our weekend. Let's do that on the second half. I guess he can be a part of it. Landry ever had a sex drink? No let's bring Landry on. It's gonna be brought to us by Elite Rides DFW. Landry Locker is in Houston. I bet we can get Elite Rides to drive us, take us to Houston.

They absolutely would. Yeah. They got an app now. Tell me. They have an app. Book your next ride on their mobile app. That's, of course, available App Store, Google Play. Gives you instant access to transportation

at your fingertips. AI booking. I think it's AI, not Al booking here on the copy. You don't call Al. They have a guy named Al who books for them. And he gives you an instant quote. AI is weird. Yeah.

I think it's just because the capital I is written as just a line. Needs to be with lines at the top. It needs to have the little thing at the top and the bottom. And then we would say, that's AI. But yes, it looks like Al booking. Yeah, so this Al-powered booking tool, you'll get instant quotes, schedule a ride.

Elite Rides is awesome. We've taken it several times. If you're going to a game, if you're going to a concert, you're going out for a night on the town, it's legit. So check them out. Either 844RIDE, DFW, or the app. Use promo code DZ15 for 15% off your first ride. They got the Tesla, they got the big, what do they call it, Sprinter van, they got the SUV,

check them out, Elite Rides DFW. Hey, Landry. Good for going to games and stuff. Yeah. He's muted, he's muted, he's muted, he's muted, he's muted, he's muted, that's probably on our end. No, it is. That's okay. That's probably on our end. No, it is. That's OK.

That's OK. What a football weekend, Dan. What a football weekend. Well, actually, I was hearing some sound when he first popped on. Yeah, we'll work through it. And now we're hearing nothing. What a football weekend that culminates

with the betting markets placing none other than Brian Schottenheimer a cut. Dude, what the hell is going on here? A cut top the Cowboys coaching odds. His dad was great. Jerry knew his dad really well. What's going on? I'm just interested if we're ever going to get Landry up.

Should we pause here? Well, how about I just keep, you and I can kind of talk. Oh, okay. And we'll figure it out. No, I don't understand this at all. But I am hearing, like, or reading, you know, people with cowboy ties are like, hey, I'm hearing a buzz from the star about Brian Schottenheimer. The buzz is growing louder. Incredible. And I haven't really taken it seriously until this morning because the betting markets because they seem to know what they're doing. Yeah now of course early Deon was the favorite so perhaps they're just following the news of what they heard. I mean think about it we heard that

McCarthy was gonna be back. So yeah theon thing, they would have to pay him an $8 million buyout. And the Belichick thing, a $10 million buyout. Belichick's probably less of a chance just because do you think he'd want to accept that job and then not even take it? Maybe, since he's so old and this would be his last job no matter what But I also don't think Based on the Cowboys actions. I don't think they want to pay a buyout. It's crazy They don't seem to want to pay two coaches at the same time. It's it's it's very unfortunate this this ruse this house of cards of being a Cowboys fan because you're led to believe like oh It's Forbes number one team. Money's not an object outside of the salary cap.

They literally do nothing like that. Nothing. There's nothing they do, whether it's paying coaches, whether it's paying buyouts, whether it's moving on from McCarthy last year, which if they were gonna do it, they should have done, because then they would have had to pay him. It's crazy.

Like, at least the Raiders do it, you should have done, because then they would have had to pay him. It's crazy. At least the Raiders do it. You know? Yeah. The Raiders are failed, but they got a lot of money. They're worth a whole lot, and they throw it around. The Eagles do. The Eagles do. And they're not failed?

Somewhat. Yeah. For sure. I just mean the Raiders are like, eff it, we made a mistake, try again. We'll pay somebody again. Whereas the Cowboys rode McCarthy until the end of his contract even though they knew they needed to fire him and now they're not

even in the buyout game. If anybody should be it should be them. They should have any coach they want anytime. Yeah same thing with Garrett. Oh yeah. And now here we are looking at the Chan Galey redux of Brian Schottenheimer. I would say even less than Chan Galey. Chan Galey was the offensive coordinator for the Steelers, who were a pretty good team. Yeah, you'll have to campo. I don't know. I know he was a DB coach.

Brian Schottenheimer's never been a successful coordinator, ever. And he's 51, and he's never been a successful coordinator. Like, ever. And he's 51, and he's never been a head coach. There's probably a reason. So I can't imagine that this is the best they can do, but maybe it's the easiest, most controllable thing they can do. And maybe this is within the model of that's how they get Witten in the door.

Brian Schottenheimer's been around the game and now it's just Brian Schottenheimer is your head coach, offensive coordinator, and Jason Garrett is your assistant head coach, which is awesome because I'm sure Brian Schottenheimer at 51 is real thrilled about having Jason Whitten stare over his shoulder You know So you think that's a big deal is getting Whitten in here? I think they keep mentioning whoever Whoever is going to be head coach has to know Whitten is a big part of things. So let's start there If you have some kind of problem with that Then we're done talking. Yeah, I got a bunch of other people who would love to talk to

us starting with this guy right here. All right. Landry's audio is up and flying. Gents, hey, what's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? You against the world. Tough weekend. No, no, no, it wouldn't. It wouldn't. They didn't have a chance. I mean, let's be honest, you can't score 12 points and win. It was there was a lot of tough stuff that went on, but you can't. You can't score 12 points and win a ballgame. So they got what they deserved. Kind of looked like we thought it would would look like a Texans

lost the offense coming up short, but you can't score 12 and win any games. So they got what they deserved. Yeah, I was doing a... I think I gotta stop just looking at Twitter. Oh no. Only because I get sucked in by headlines and things, and I saw a headline that said, Wow, D'Amico Ryan's on the refs. We knew it was us versus everybody. I mean everybody.

And it's in all caps and it says, wow. And then Ralph Stranjes tags that. Ralph will tweet on you. Yeah, and he's like, hey, good assessment from a guy whose team scored 12 points, gave up eight sacks, rushed the most important play of the game, failed to challenge a spot that would have kept the drive going,

missed a field goal, a PAT, and then had one blocked to seal it at Arrowhead. And so I went back just to hear how D'Amico Ryan's was ripping the refs, and this was the audio. We knew going into this game, man, it was us versus everybody. When I say everybody, it's everybody, all the whatever. Everybody, the naysayers the doubt right everybody

we had to go against today and you know going with that knowing going into this game what we were up against we can't make the mistakes that we made right we had a lot of self-inflicted mistakes that happened whether it's special teams not converting our kicks defensively not being we're supposed to be in coverage all Offensively not protecting our quarterback and keeping them clean So, you know you married that on top of everything else that we had to deal with as it's gonna be a really tough uphill battle. I Didn't see a guy there complaining about the refs and and he wasn't but I mean I mean

Mixon had a comment about it and will Anderson and I mean, you know what it is going in against the refs. And he wasn't, but I mean, I mean, Mixon had a comment about it and Will Anderson, and I mean, you know what it is going in against the Chiefs, but he wasn't, he wasn't doing that. I'm surprised by Ralph, like getting so passionate about it because that the the missed challenge spot, they actually extended that drive anyways, and ended up scoring. It was probably their best drive of the season before the missed extra point. But yeah, I mean, the refs didn't help, but they ended up losing the game. But D'Amico, the last thing that he did and the

last thing that he would do is go up there and blame the refs. That is kind of headline porn. And good on you, Dan, for listening to the whole quote, because that's not really what he's about. I listen to his whole postgame press conference. And yeah, yeah, it was it was all pointing at us. We could do better. We can do things differently. And I'm not bagging on Ralph. I just am pointing out that I think Ralph read the tweet like I did and got worked up like I did, like, hey, man, yeah, that's right.

How is he just bagging on the rest? And then you go back and listen. And that's why I say I shouldn't even look at Twitter, but we've done this a hundred times How would you know you see one little clip or you see one headline taken out of context and you totally misinterpreted? the craziest thing though and I think y'all can relate to this more than anyone because y'all y'all go back and like listen to audio and Like maximize it but the the craziest thing is usually when you do that, like it's like, well, the quote wasn't as

bad as they as they said, like it's it. Yeah, there's, there's a little more context there. But when you do it with Jerry, it's like, damn, that was even worse than it was. That's very true. That's true. Texans first team to outgain an opponent by 100 yards, not turn the ball over, and lose a postseason game. Isn't that odd that that's never happened before? 49 and 0.

Teams were 49 and 0. History. But the Chiefs are a team that just figures out Yeah, you know what else they are? They're boring. The Chiefs are a team that just figures out exactly what they have to do. Yeah, you know what else they are? They're boring. They're not fun to watch. I'm a fan. A couple of my buddies work there. One in the communications, the other one on the field. The quarterback.

I've always loved watching them. Everybody has, unless they're beating your team. But they're just boring. It's a boring-ass team. What do they have? Xavier Worthy is the only wide receiver who catches anything. Yeah, Hollywood dropped one. And he has a really bad drop. Yeah, Worthy was coming on over the last month a little bit.

And Kansas City's pass rush is exciting. But offensive offensively they are just a boring, boring team. I feel like Buffalo is going to beat their ass this week. Like I feel like this is the time, I think this is going to be Josh Allen's coming out party. I think this, like I saw the line in Kansas City's favorite by two. I'm probably going to stupidly just hammer the hell out of that, and it's going to end up going like Kansas City get games do where someone misses an extra point or Mahomes finds a way to flip the switch. But I just I just feel like Buffalo is going to get going to beat them pretty badly this Sunday.

Maybe maybe that those are those are famous last words. I'm just kind of feeling it. Yeah, I felt I felt like Baltimore would have to. Those are famous last words. I'm just kind of feeling it. Yeah, I felt like Baltimore would have too. You know, I mean, not to get into that game yet, but Jackson had a couple of bad plays. But overall, down and down out, he was awesome. And those are the two best quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson

and Josh Allen in the playoffs. I mean, the Mahomes, they're not asking them to do a ton, but it's just boring. They're a boring team and now everybody's tired of watching them and they're boring. What about the refs? Yeah. D'Amico Ryan's isn't talking about it, but. Yeah. It was awful. Troy Aikman was. Yeah, it was terrible. I mean, it was pretty bad. That roughing the passer was rough. And then my homes is just kind of manipulating rules now where on one hand you say, OK, well, he's just doing James Harden stuff

where you're manipulating manipulating the rules and Chris Paul type of stuff. But on the other hand, it's like, does he really have to do that? I didn't. It it's just it just kind of it's kind of weird. I didn't want to get into like I kind of tried to minimize it. It's just it just kind of it's kind of weird. I didn't want to get into like I kind of tried to minimize it. They'd never lost with that officiating crew because I'm sure that they their record if you put any officiating crew out there is pretty good. Yeah, it is.

My homes. I'm assuming it's like great. So I did. I tried not to like not to make too much of that. And I don't think they would. I don't think they would have lost. I've I've watched them play games like maybe against Cincinnati and maybe Buffalo where I'm like, all right, if the refs hadn't made those calls, then the other team would have won. I don't think the Texans were one of

those squads. I do think you were also vindicated this weekend. Jake, one of the final plays. Not everyone can catch the ball and fall down. Mark Andrews. Hey, Mark Andrews, he vindicated Jake's Patrick Mahomes catch right there. I was thinking about you on that. Thank you, mine, two points. We're tying the game up. Yeah, that was tough, especially with the fumble earlier from Andrews, but yeah.

To go back to the Patrick thing, do you wanna play Aikman? I thought it was funny. I got it here. Okay. Personal foul, unnecessary roughness. Defense number 39. I mean, just right there, you know?

And there's- Is that the one where he's scrambling a little bit, but then slid really late? Yeah, this is the one where the two Texans defenders collide. Yeah, they collide kind of over him. Yeah, because the the one where the two Texans defenders collide. Yeah, they collided kind of over him. Yeah, because the first one is a straight up, the one that extended a three and out on the second possession.

That's a straight up, he got hit in the head, and it's a judgment call. But he did get hit. This one, they barely grazed him. Personal foul. And he slipped so late. Unnecessary roughness. Defense number 39

where's the end of it yeah I mean he's a runner and I I could not disagree with that one more and he barely gets hit that's the second penalty now that's been called against the Texans and Troy I agree with you there's no forcible contact to the head-neck area of him the two Houston players hit each other that should not have been a foul. And if you they've got to address it in the offseason you can as a quarterback run around and play games with defenders and then get be able to draw a penalty. So one of the things he mentions there is like go back and take a look at it I watched watched Walt Anderson. You guys remember him?

Yeah. He was on NFL network yesterday morning and a surprise. He says those are both the right call. He said, that on the first one that if where he actually did get hit in the head face up The first one that if, where he actually did get hit in the head, face up, that they can't use replay on that if he gets hit. If they throw a flag and he did get forcible contact to the head, they can't wave it off. Okay. They could add it. Like I guess they could after the play say like, oh. Or I guess what could happen is you throw it and then there's actually not contact. But if there's any contact at all,

it's no longer a judgment call. Okay. On the second one where you could argue whether or not there was contact, it kind of looks like one of the Texans players like grazed his head. Walt Anderson said that in every other instance in the rule book, the officials are told,

err on the side of not throwing a flag. That the rule book is written to not throw flags, except for in the case of roughing the passer or unnecessary roughness. Or they are told to err the other way. But he wasn't a passer then, that's the thing. That one might have been talking unnecessary roughness. I can't remember, but yeah. They don't do that though. That's the problem is that they don't do that unless it's the thing. That one might have been talking unnecessary roughness. I can't remember, but yeah. They don't do that though.

That's the problem is that they don't do that unless it's Mahomes. There's one-offs where there's crappy pass interference, but yesterday Lamar Jackson got tackled five feet out of bounds and they didn't call anything. Jared Goff got his block knocked off. That was tough. On an interception.

Either one of those those if they're my homes they're calling it and and the worst thing is he's like he's he's manipulating the rule i heard someone in the texans locker room today i won't put him out there um but they were basically like someone needs to bobby boucher him from now on like just my mama said my mama said and like knock knock him on his ass if he's going to be dancing around like manipulating the rules and it's going to be a penalty no matter what you're going to get the 15 yards anyway, you're going to get it, you might as well just knock his block off. Like so if

he's going to be like dancing around like that, I do think there's players that are going to try and knock his block off. And the other thing is this with the Texans, they already had the Aziz Alshayar controversy with Trevor Lawrence, where I thought he did he deserved the flag and I thought he actually deserved the suspension for the reaction after I thought it got a little bit out of control, but they've been talking about how quarterback slide in no man's land. So you factor in that

that happens to you against the chiefs. I think there's just like an extra amount of frustration with with Texans players, but I think I think my homes is going to get to the point if he keeps doing that where they're just going they're just going to knock your block off he didn't help himself at all with that he had a flop too like not even on those going out of bounds going out of bounds or they didn't give it to him and I'm like dude you are you can't keep doing this and then he got the play had to play the playoffs after, so it was just like, ah, shut up. I'm still the man, though. Yeah. Yeah.

Where else do you want to go, Dan? Well, from this game, Chris Boyd, tell us about that. The first play of the game, the special teamer who shoves the special team's coach and threw his helmet off and got a 15-yard penalty on the field, what's that whole situation? Chris Boyd, by the way, from Gilmer. Yeah, he is.

He's the guy that y'all had on. I love him. Yeah, he's from Gilmer. He's like basically Chris Boyd's wind horse whenever he's at Texans games. He's basically like posted up with Chris Boyd no matter what. But Chris Boyd's not a smart guy.

Like I like him fine, but he's just, he's just, he's got a screw loose. That's kind of what makes him a special teamer and good at it. He's the same guy who at UT went in the locker room and tweeted that he wanted to transfer and then ended up staying and never leaving or anything like that.

So stable. He wasn't mad at the special teams coach. And it wasn't even like an angry shove. It's actually, I think it's actually dumber than that. And there's no smart result, but what happened was he forced a fumble. And instead of just finishing the play and trying to recover the fumble,

he turns his back and you can watch the play. He's celebrating because he just assumes that they recovered the fumble. And his way of celebrating was I'm gonna throw my helmet and it would have picked up a 15 yard penalty and everyone on the sideline is looking at me. He thinks they're looking at him because they're proud of him because he forced a fumble.

So Frank Ross, Frank Ross is yelling at him and he thinks he's yelling at him because Frank Ross is like kind of a yeller even when he's excited. There's been like some viral moments. He thinks he's like yelling at him like happy. So he's pushing him like, yeah, we in this thing. We in this thing. And they're like, and you can look at the defensive coordinator right there. He's like, dude, you picked up a penalty. So I don't know that that makes it any smarter of a play, but he wasn't pushing Frank Ross because he was yelling at him. He was pushing him because he turned his back on the play, thought they recovered it,

celebrated by throwing his helmet, and then pushed his coach. Probably a little too hard of a celebratory push too, for being honest. That was a little too hard, but that was what happened there. He wasn't trying to fight him or anything like that. That makes a lot of sense but you definitely have to see how the play

concluded before you celebrate in a situation like that because you know the return had already gone for like 60. So like if you just had a tackle there and celebrated be like yeah be like, yeah. Now they did force a three and out after that. But yeah, that was a tough moment. I mean, he was back out there. Yeah, he was there. A couple other things.

OK. A couple other things. Kelsey, we talked about playoff Kelsey. Were they saving him for the playoffs? Maybe they are. He had another 100 yard game. Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's weird to think you can do.

I don't know. It's odd to me to be able to save a player that, like, you play the number of snaps you play. Like, with a running back, it's one thing, because you're like, oh, we're not giving you the ball. Like, the Cowboys were saving Zeke. But I don't know. At that point, you're left to just think that it's kind of just how into it are you.

Well, I mean, even Mahomes himself. Now the quarterback running thing is a real thing. Quarterback running, but I mean, even quarterback passing. His numbers were very, yeah. I don't know if you'd say pedestrian, but they weren't eye popping this year for sure, unless you look at quarterback wins and Then I know I know we Taylor and Caitlin Clark Taylor and Caitlin Clark speaking to Travis. Yeah, that was great That's good fun. Love seeing them become become good friends. Yeah, I thought it was weird that the Kelsey sweet had milk for

And for Caitlin Clark. And we had eight and a half. Oh, but you had eight and a half. I had eight. If it was a nine and a half game, where did the bad beat occur? The safety. So the safety, Kansas City's up 23 to 12. They take a safety with seven seconds left. And it was after they blocked the field goal's up 23 to 12. They take a safety with seven seconds left.

And it was after they blocked the field goal too to cover. So it was like, it wasn't even, you felt like you got off the hook because they blocked the field goal and then they ran back. So depending on what you had it on, that was a toughie. The safety is just a weird, I don't know, why don't you just punt there? What's the difference?

I don't know. Maybe Andy Reid had them at the number. If you are going to take a safety, wouldn't you rather put it in the hands of somebody who kind of handles the ball all the time? And what if that guy ran and then it's all cold and he fumbled? I just always think, why even have the punter back there? And in that instance, I guess they're trying to get seconds. But why not just have the long snapper snap it out of

the end zone? Like why even put the punter in position to where he's thinking he's going to have to run around and he's catching the ball without punting. I've always wondered why teams don't just snap it out. I guess no time goes off the clock. Yeah. But but but in that situation where it's a two possession game and you're really just trying to pawn, it doesn't matter if the Texans take back the next kick, the game's over. Why even have the punter back there? We can move on to the next game. And let's tell you about Lone Star beer as we do that.

The next game was Saturday night. The commanders at Lions Lone Star is the national beer of Texas. Been brewing in Texas for 140 years. I am more of a Lone Star light guy. I'm a blue can guy. I'm a red can guy. That's because you are authentically Texan. Yeah, don't I look it?

Just like Lone Star beer. And even for your buddies that don't drink, why don't they go to LoneStarBeer.com and get some awesome merch, if you use the code DUMBZONE21. That's a quality t-shirt right there. 21% off merchandise. Many beers might give you 20% off.

Come on. Lone Star Beer is like, wait, hold my beer. Get it? Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, thanks. That's really good. So LoneStarBeer.com, we love you, we love our partnership with Lone Star Beer. And now, we're sad happy. Happy for Dan Quinn. It's And now we're sad happy. Happy for Dan Quinn. It's a good story. It's a great story. Happy for Magic Johnson.

Happy for Magic Johnson. You know, I was reading an article, not to disrupt. Who's what, a 1% owner of the team or something? He's enough. Yeah, enough to be on hand. Mike Sando started his article this morning with the last time that the Washington organization made it to the Conference Championship you know and he set the scene of what was

happening in 1991 and it was about like you know comparing Magic Johnson to Jaden Daniels, Magic Johnson is a rookie and it's like yeah 91 the next season's when Magic came back to play in the All-Star game. I'm like, that's what happened. So basically, the story is the commanders haven't been to the Conference Championship since the season where Magic Johnson didn't have AIDS. Or we became accepting enough of his AIDS. Have AIDS.

Let's put the quote marks around have AIDS. That's true. Oh, interesting. Let's put the quote marks around have AIDS that's true oh let's look the quote marks around that let's be serious conspiracy theory for sure but he's uh him and the commanders of have made it it's so bad for Cowboys fans name an NFC team so bad name an NFC team like any NFC team the Cardinals the Cardinals in 2015 they were in the NFC Championship game Yeah, the Bears The Bears in 2010 were in the NFC Championship game sex cutler cutler got her oh cutler Seahawks

The Seahawks were in the NFC Championship game in 2014. Okay, the Vikings. We really don't have to do this 2017 the point is Every NFC team has been to the NFC championship game more recently than the Cowboys And the Cowboys have the next team beat by 15 years now 15 years The Bears in 2010 have the longest drought besides the Cowboys 1995. We're just saying not even getting to the Super Bowl. Yeah, so a couple of our quant friends, of course the biggest one is listener Nick. He used to by in he's math guy and then uh... another is jeffrey jacob the emails all this stuff

and i know there's stuff to each other and let him fight it out on ice regardless of whether you go with one of their methods of that that the other uh... by pure randomness there's something uh like a 99 plus percent chance of randomly being in the NFC Championship over those 30 years. What they're doing is statistically impossible to do. Especially, I think, with their regular season record.

That one skyrockets it, yeah. At least the Bears are kind of a bad team all the time, too And they haven't been since 2010 or yeah, like the Lions Washington run Yeah, Washington during that whole run. They were they're kind of a bad team. Cowboys have been like a really good team Yeah, it's it's statistically You like you you would say like that's beyond an error To be able to pull off not getting in with those records. So the other thing is Schottenheimer like

the higher I know that he's been in AFC championship teams but like in my like football watching prime he was kind of the face of like not getting there. I think they went in 93 and then he had like a 13 and 3 season in 95 they lost in the first round 13 and 3 in 97 loss in the divisional. They had that Chargers team that went 14 and two. They lost in the divisional. So it would be it would kind of be ironic if they hired like at least since 95, since the Cowboys have been bad when they and the drought has begun.

A guy who's basically the coaching face of being good enough and then not good enough to get there. So it's like a perfect mix. If you go from like where the drought started to the resume of Marty Schottenheimer and hiring his son. It would fit fit perfectly. OK, you want to be happy or sad, you want to start happy, sad. You start sad. Let's let's start with Dan Quinn or Dan Campbell. Okay, you want to be happy or sad you want to start happy sad Let's start with a Dan Quinn or Dan Campbell then that's a tough one, man I don't know. It was a weird I made a late push to to the commander's money line

Just because it just I don't know it. I know the lines are awesome. I know that they're fun. I know they're complete but it's just, it's golf. And Jayden Daniels is, I think he's one of those dudes. What'd you say it came down to that? Kinda, yeah. Because golf, pick six. Turned the ball over a ton. Pick six, interception in the end zone, fumble. Yeah, whereas Jayden Daniels was just making

play after play after play. And then I found myself, like I told Dan yesterday, I felt like the Dr. Laura caller, like by the third quarter, I feel bad winning this money. Should I give it away, or what do I do? Give it back to everyone who bet. Yeah, that's the problem with betting. On something you don't really want to have to.

Yeah, but if it does happen, then I guess I'm financially better. Yeah, and I just started feeling bad. Like, man, I'm thinking about Tim Robinson and all the Lions fans out there. That sucked. Eminem's probably mad. Yeah. Did you see the Ed L'Angelo ball perform his new song

after the first quarter? I saw that he was warming up before the game. L'Angelo is a big time artist now. All three ball brothers have made it. It's a big song. It is. I kinda like it Landry. Yeah I think it's good. I hear worse released I'll be honest. I thought I reevaluated the Lions performance because I like in the moment when they faced Minnesota I was like damn what a gutsy performance. Aaron Glenn holy crap he put it together but then I watched the Vikings play faced Minnesota, I was like, damn, what a gutsy performance. Aaron Glenn, holy crap. You put it together.

But then I watched the Vikings play the Rams and I was like, okay, did I overreact to what that looked like? Like, do I need to look at this a little bit different with Daniels? Because I jumped, I jumped on Washington after the first, the first quarter too. I had their point total over under was like 23. And I was like, there might be a little bit of an overreaction to Detroit Detroit's defense, especially after you saw what Minnesota was. But I was I was happy for Washington, but I.

It's it you feel kind of dirty being that way, it's just not really an unlikable team. I can make myself unlike not like the Eagles. I can't make myself dislike this Washington team. Yeah, it's it's crazy from a cowboy's perspective, like the Eagles. I can't make myself this like this Washington team. Yeah It's it's crazy from a Cowboys perspective like the new owner After you, you know, who's 1a 1b Jerry and Dan Snyder for all those years and finally They get forced out and immediately The vibes change the vibes change you hire a coach that everyone likes you get a cool coordinator

You crush a draft pick at least on one year returns they bring in the right kind of vets around him and They're likable they're very very likable and it's It's again. It is it's hilarious for the Cowboys To be in this situation that you know, uh, Carolina Denver, New England Only teams that entered with lower Vegas win totals for this this season Did you think that did you think that um with? With washington. Do you think there's kind of been a a little of an overreaction there now?

Because they're only like a four-point underdog going to philly and I don't know if it's going to snow or not, but I Do you like do you like do you see Washington winning in the snow against Philly? Like is that I just don't I don't know who can beat Philly in the snow with the way that they're built right now. No, no. I mean, they didn't totally ignore their running game, though. Brian Robinson's good. Yeah.

And they added Austin Eckler. They added like a a change up that would really fit fit not like Zeke because he could sell jerseys Like they have it have an actual running back that they drafted and then it like they don't ignore the running back room They didn't go after Barclay Who is unbelievable, but we'll get to him No, it's it's it's amazing. They do have 10 former Cowboy players or coaches. That's tough. On that team.

Jordan Lewis is tweeting about it. Dante Fowler out there making plays. Dante Fowler making plays. What is going on there? Did y'all ever talk to Dante? I feel like y'all would like him. I can't remember. I don't recall that. Cliff as the OC, only on two teams interview

request list right now. Two out of the six teams. I don't think the Cowboys are one of them. Rapp said to watch him, so I don't know what that means. If he got a clue or if he's just kind of doing an agent a favor or what, but Rappoport said to look out for Kingsbury potentially being on their list on Dallas yeah see I see that as a fit because he will let he feels Cliff is Cliff he's not like I got a command this I got it like he'll probably just handle the offense all right yeah you go ahead and hire whoever you want as a defensive coordinator yeah I don't know if that's good, but I think it'd be better than what they've been doing. I just feel like that's that he would do that. Yeah. And I read something

pretty interesting on... And he might be creative in the offense. Yeah, for sure. I read something interesting on his offenses, the whole late season drop off, every team is expected to produce a little bit less efficiently on offense against their own division just because there's familiarity. But for him and in his offense, and I'd be interested to see how this plays out for Mike McDaniel, etc., Cliff's numbers against his division opponents, Cliffs numbers against his division opponents, the difference between non-division is huge. And if you think about it, the back of your schedule is usually division heavy. Like it's back loaded in division opponents.

So you just think about it from terms of like- So you're saying he's bad within his division. It's not bad, it's just, he's like about the same, but his offenses are awesome against non, like it's just it's he's like about the same, but his offenses are awesome against nod like it's just a bigger gap. And it's just like, hey, teams are able to figure this out if they see it enough. My thing, though, with that would be because I do think that's fascinating data. But I do wonder, like, look at the division, though, you know, it's a pretty

it's a pretty damn good division, like especially if you, I don't have like the defenses in front of me, but we're talking about San Francisco, the Rams, and then we're talking about the Seahawks. So I would, that's interesting, but I do wonder like what those defenses look like because there's a pretty good's there's a pretty good chance that it they're pretty damn good Yeah, that's true, too and the same could be said maybe for Baltimore because Baltimore has seen something similar to this where Lamar can have crazy numbers But in divisional games sometimes like they struggle with those have also been pretty good defenses. I don't know

Just something to think about if he's gonna be here Because it certainly looks like whoever is gonna be here is gonna have their freaking hands full. Could it be a Kyler problem? Yeah, it could be, but I mean they slowed down this year. Now, Daniels was hurt. You know, but their offense, it slowed down significantly this year, but they were un-freaking-stoppable yesterday. Or uh, Saturday, whatever. yesterday or Saturday. It's on the billboard tweakers top 25 That's not it no

Alright Maybe he has multiple tweakers. Maybe he's already going remix on us now. The beat is different Yeah, keep looking alright It's a it sounds like a like It sounds like a, like a juvenile or like a big-timer song to me. Yeah, it's got a, there's like a Nelly like kind of melody too, like when he's doing the, doing the chorus. Yeah, and it's not mumble-rappy.

I'll take it. Did you have Dan Campbell audio you wanted to play? Yeah, here's Dan Campbell after the loss. He talked for about eight minutes, but here's the one where you really got sad Dan Campbell Regular season that goes the way it did you guys put yourself in the spot where you wanted to be Is this a moment in sports a moment athletics and most people don't get where you you are so speechless because you just can't put into words everything That you've been through and it ends up. No, I just think it's just not the time man. I

It's hard, you know, when you lose, when you lose these games, man. It's just like the players, you know. Okay. What they put into it. Is he crying? A lot of people don't know what they go through. You have to get up, I'm trying to be nice. I was glad he lost. I was rooting against Dan Campbell. You're just tired of it.

It's just too much of a bit. Like it's over romanticized. Like they got really, really, really, really good players. They got really, really good coordinators. Like I like it's that style, like that Harto go forward on fourth down every time and all that. Like it's just getting so hyped up. Like 90% of the teams in the league

would trade their players for theirs, for the Lions. And that crap wouldn't work with 90% of the teams either. Like I was getting a little Dan Campbell'd out. That's just me though. I'm kind of a hater, but I was very, very tired of it. What's interesting though, is that anytime you have a coach like that, and by that I don't mean like that he wants to drink out of a water hose at practice with

you. I mean, fourth downs. Everybody wonders like, Hey, when, when we get to a one game sample size in the playoffs, are you gonna change? And you know, on one side you say, dance with the one that brung you. This is what we've done. We're going for it. And then on the other side you say dance with the one that brung you this is what we've done We're going for it And then on the other side you say you gotta cut it out like in value possessions even more in A game like this and yeah with 12 minutes to play No, wait there was I'm trying to think of when the the 12 minutes to play was when they had a 12-minute on the field on

22 that resulted in a touchdown. But the Jameson Williams reverse pass. What was that? That was Ben Johnson. Why would you? I don't know. Some of these guys just get crazy with the trick. Well, I mean, what's Jameson Williams right there?

Is he supposed to throw it into the side line? Yeah, run? Once he's like, oh my gosh. Yeah, it's obviously just like. They sniffed it out, it's triple coverage. Like he was throwing that no matter what. It's a thing. Like that's, it's a surprise play, it's a trick play.

If he's wide open, that's when it works. Yeah. But they were obviously really ready for that stuff. I don't know how you ascertain this this but if you're gonna run something like that You have to be able to have figured out like this guy's not gonna throw the ball if it's not open You know what I mean? Yeah, like a lot of people were pointing this morning to like you put your season On the line in the hands of a guy to make a smart decision who was gambling on football at the facility last year Oh, I forgot about that under his own name

Yeah, under his own name Jmoe big parlay 67. It's like dude. He took the commander's money line. However The other play they ran with the handoff pitch Oh, that was sick the best football play I've ever seen in my life. That was nasty Describe it. I'm trying to remember. You had it. They ran the reverse.

And then as they were running the reverse, St. Brown takes out on the slot, and they shovel pass it to him. Oh, yeah. I thought Tom Brady literally was going to climax. You like Tom Brady? I actually do. I've seen some people, like some listeners of ours, like I don't even know. I like him. I really do I've been I've seen some people like some listeners of ours like like I don't even know

I like him. I really do I don't like I don't like Burkhardt much, but I like I think Tom Brady's really good So that's all man bring right away right away Where am I on who? Burkhardt why aren't you a fan on him by the way Rommel's the worst like it's it's bad Rommel's gotten gotten tough for me I'm a Collins worth guy. I like Collinsworth. I do too. You don't like Burkhart? Why don't you like Burkhart?

I think I like him even less with Tom Brady, because I think he really, really wants to try to be cool. And like, hey, I'm in here with Brady. And I don't think he has to, because I think Brady's just cool. Or whatever passes is cool when you're making out with your kid or whatever but the potential for the second coolest football play I've ever seen was also in that game and it's very important that

if you're gonna run a fake quarterback sneak to a pitch that you tell the running back behind you that you're gonna do it so he doesn't run right into your back but that could have been. They motioned Mariota over to take the snap on fourth and one. And then he was supposed to fake tush push an option pitch to the one of the backs coming out of the backfield. Here's a here's an overall way to put this. Almost every team I saw play this weekend had had stuff in their bag that the Cowboys would never even dream of trying. It's the same with the Texans.

Certainly not in a playoff game. Yeah Texans might be the only one that you'd look at and be like all right I get that I recognize that's that plan. It's frustrating I think that's the most frustrating part Jake when you're watching like a it's it's. Because whenever you like say something stinks, people say, well, it's not the main problem. It's like, yeah, but there's a lot like they don't have good players in the whole way in which they function as an offense sucks. There's nothing worse than when the season ends watching other teams, even in college. And you're just like, they know what they're doing at the line of scrimmage a lot quicker. They have a lot more creativity. They

have a lot more of a grasp. That's the most frustrating thing. It sucks. This is it right here. Whoa. Yeah, this is good. This is it. L'Angelo ball signed a big record deal. Then Def Jam. I guess we could just we didn't say it. What do you say the n-word? I'm just playing a song here bro. I said the s-word. I said the f- word, a lot of letters associated with words Fuck the story road There's really only one that matters

I'm gonna play you guys a piece of audio This is from a new file I have called I think this is funny and uncomfortable but I can't totally explain why And it's after Brian Robinson scored a touchdown And you know what they're gonna do, right? Because they hadn't done it in the game yet See a little love from Dan Quinn and Brian Robinson scored a touchdown. And you know what they're going to do, right? Because they hadn't done it in the game yet. See a little love from Dan Quinn and Brian Robinson, who's been through a lot.

In 2022, he was shot multiple times at a carjacking incident, right? So for him just to come back and be OK. Now scoring a playoff touchdown. But there's concern for the starting right guard, Sam Cosme. Injury time off. So we're in the middle of the arm robbery note but Cosme's down.

Cool story and then oh my gosh this guy's got a bone sticking out of his. Yeah and it's weird because it's like on one hand you're like oh well he's hurt but he didn't get shot. Yeah. You know but then the way the injury piano starts right when they're talking about him getting shot. I thought that was funny. One more quick thing from this game, it's just an ad. Apparently Fox has got a pregame show for Super Bowl Sunday featuring CT and Gronk. Oh yeah, that was really weird. And it's gonna be on something called Tubi. Dexter Video Man is nodding at the existence of Tubi apparently Fox or Fox News bought it

it feels like something that what's his name from succession like I feel like this is something that Kendall just bought yeah and then we interact with Tubi I can't recall how but maybe through my kids so this is a bit I don't like when you are someone like Bobon or in this case Gronk who just has a personality What sucks is when brands want to use your personality? But they have to write it for you or they choose to this is what I mean get ready for Super Bowl licks No, that's Super Bowl 59 Gronk Your Super Bowl party starts here. You know what I'm saying? Like okay here's Gronk, meathead, like oh he's an idiot and they want him to be

that guy but then they have to write it for him to be that guy and I think. Now you're acting like the idiot but. I think it comes off just ick. It gives me, it's giving ick. I don't like that at all. Small thing. Before we get to our ick list, Jake, like as far as like, this guy's doing too much. Cause the Rock's number one for me, like God. Yeah. Kevin Hart's up there too, Kevin Hart's up there too.

You know what, I was actually about to say Kevin Hart. I had a big weekend with The Secret Life of Pets. Kevin Hart, both in one and two, Dan. Louis CK replaced for the sequel. That was that's a joke. He should have still been able to do that. I know I was trying to explain it like my kids know when the voice is different now. I would rather have bacon on every piece of food that is served to me for the rest of my life than more Kevin Hart. The country has gone way out of control on Kevin Hart. He's a hack. He's not funny. Real quick, I want to- Oh, he works hard. I work hard. I'm always

out there. Okay. Good for you, dude. What about something funny? What about- You're a comedian. I'm not in the, I want to see a guy who's done the most hours on stage. I want to see the guy who's the funniest on stage. What's that? Real quick go give me give me one funny Kevin Hart movie go. I Honestly don't that I'm not the guy. He's very funny. Tell me his funniest stand-up in 40 year old Virgin Yeah, 40 year old virgin. He's basically just an extra going to shoot up the place Yeah, that's it his dad getting in a fight I think is a funny bit But you haven't seen any Kevin Hart stand-up, so I don't even know why I open my mouth

I've seen his stand-up. I absolutely have yeah, and I didn't find it. Oh this guy's mad at the bagging on Kevin Hart No, I'm not really fit your new images run the ball guy Well, I'll throw a shirt over play out. I'll run a play action every once in a while. What's your movie? What's your favorite movie, Blake, of Kevin Hart? Soul Plane? No, I don't know. I just, I remember seeing one of his stand-ups. Get Hard? Get Hard was probably his best movie, honestly. I've heard that's actually funny. Yeah, it's actually really, really funny, but that was as much Will Ferrell as him. Does Will Ferrell use the n-word in that movie? um

I don't know because he definitely has I mean look we all have But he's done it on but he released one of his stand-ups in theaters And I went to go see it and I actually enjoyed it well That's a time you went to the theater to see Kevin Hart in stand-up. I did Whoa, yeah, I don't know, dude. You got a lot to learn. Whoa. It was pretty good.

You know, it is interesting as we talk about the teams that made it and things that might ruffle the feathers of our established-to-run producer here, it's pretty much the case now that if your quarterback is not dynamic, you're F'd. You know? Like, golf can be pinpoint whenever the pocket's perfect, all he wants.

Stafford can still throw crazy stuff around people, and you gotta be able to run. Like, and Shroud's probably just above the threshold. But Dak is definitely below it. I put Dak and golf in the same category. It's the new way. I think Stroud is right in between. Yeah. Burrow and golf.

Like, I think there's like he'll never be Burrow. And I don't know if he'll get to the level that golf's even playing right now. But like the skill set on like any given play is kind of there. I don't know that he has like the awareness of golf. Like he's smart, except sometimes in play. But I think he's like right in between golf and burrow, like right in the middle. Never going to get up here with burrow and. Yeah, it's it's kind of it's kind of like that kind of vibe with Straub.

Because we can also talk about our day yesterday. We watched this game at something called Cosm. You know what that is Landry? I have no idea. You know what the sphere is in Vegas? Yes. So this is a... Oh, I've seen this, yes.

It's kind of a mini sphere, except it's not round. One in Dallas or at Grants Cape in the colony and one in Los Angeles. Yeah it's in the colony near Nebraska Furniture. It's COSM. I didn't know what to expect. Our buddy Jeff invited us. Blake thought he should go to softball batting practice instead of this. And so he did that. Got to work on my swing. But we went. And it's a. I mean, it's a giant screen. It's kind of like the Jumbotron at Jerry World,

except you're sitting. What 20 feet away from it. Yeah, we're on the front row. You're in the you're in the stadium. Basically, you look up, you look to the left, you look to the right. It's not 360 around you, but it's enough that anywhere you are, you're like, I'm in the stadium.

They have a camera affixed to the goal post, and that is the shot that you see most of the time. They have another camera up in the stands, kind of like the top of the first deck, you would say, or the first row of the second deck. And then they have another one down low on the sideline. This one was on the Philly sideline. So we got to look at Big Dom all game.

The whole game, you could just track it. Like they would just go here, here, to here. Somebody switches those cameras. So you could see the whole sideline. So like the equipment stuff going on, the kickers right in front of you kicking into a net, like the kickers right in front of you. We're watching in practice as they're on a drive.

During the breaks, you're in the stadium. So you just see the stadium workers or whatever thing they do on the field. A lot of stadium workers involved in this game because they were trying to clear the field of snow. Plus now the snow coming, there couldn't have been a better experience for us, I think on our first trip to this thing.

Felt like you were getting snowed on. It felt like you were getting snowed on, but you're all warm and you're sitting inside a booth with your buddies and you're drinking and you're eating and it's unbelievable. Grub. Was the food pretty good too? The food's great. Yeah, they have a serious menu. It's not really a commercial for them, but we're just telling you this is-

No, I'm asking. I'm asking. Yeah, it's a very cool thing. It's very, very cool. I mean, the food's pretty high dollar. It's all pretty high dollar. Once they get you in there, it's just like being in a stadium.

Do they have a normal TV, too, that you can look to the side of? Or are you just kind of, are you in, like, when you're in, are you in? So basically, in this main hall, where the attraction is, the screen, in the top left and top right of that, they have the game broadcast playing. Okay, that's good.

And they have the audio from the game broadcast being piped in, but multiple times I caught myself when we were at Endzone Cam, when there was a replay to be shown, rather than looking at the NBC copy, I just watched the Jumbotron inside the link. You're just watching what people in the stadium are watching, and when you're in the stadium cam,

you're like right above the fans. I mean, you can, you're 10 feet or 20 feet away or whatever from just a guy who's just at the game. It's, you see him talking to his buddy. If somebody was yelling the C word at a Packers fan, they're right next to you. Like last week, it's the craziest sports watching experience

I've ever had. It was cool to watch during the breaks and everything. When they're trying to clear the field as much as they could, the snow kept coming down. So they got these big giant leaf blowers that just would blow off the snow. They blew off the yard markers and whatever. But it was the fourth quarter, and they

were only working on the side of the field where the Eagles would go to score. Yeah the Rams had the ball. The other side was just yeah. Yard lines and hash marks. But the amount of like talking to between teams in breaks, talking to the officials, there's just a lot going on in between plays and in between timeouts and NFL games that you don't see. It's so cool. Like when the defense got a turnover and they all run to one end to do their celebration in the end zone, that's right in front of you. Yeah.

It's cool. Let's see. Running plays like right in front of you the way you can see the line open up. Oh yeah. And the running back trying to pick a hole. Where you see a guard pole or something. It's see. Running plays like right in front of you, the way you can see the line. Oh yeah. And the way you see a guard pole or something. And crazy. Yeah. Crazy, crazy cool.

Could you watch like a real intent? Like, cause it seems cool. I've seen it, but like if, if the Longhorns were playing or something, I, I can't, I wouldn't be able to. Yeah, it's right on the line of being a little bit much for a game you really, really cared about. But the downside of it being a game you think you don't care about is that I had to listen to Fly Eagles Fly for like 15 minutes in person yesterday. And that's not fun. Philly fan contingent living in Dallas.

Very. Philly fan contingent living in Dallas. Very. Had they won, the Rams would have said they were doing it for the LAFD, which they're now wearing those shirts and the hats since they lost. You hadn't lived. I must mention that they clearly don't care about the fire department.

Blake, you hadn't lived until you've watched a sporting event featuring a team who's in the middle of a tragedy with Dan. So incomplete pass? Well, I guess they didn't care about the fire on that one. I thought we were doing this for the firefighters. Big play, that one must have been because another house just burned down. It's just nuts. There were some awkward drop-ins though, mentions of that on the broadcast. I don't know if y'all caught it like the Rams got their backs against so I think they were down to possess They got their backs against the wall, but it's not worse than what's going on in LA or something like well

I'm gonna tell you why there was that mark Here's why there was that because we were talking about play-by-play guys We like or don't like the number one worst play-by-play guy of the Big Four is, of course, Mike Tariko. He sucks. You don't like Tariko? He's Nance over Tariko? I gotta take Nance over, or Tariko over Nance, rather. I have to.

Nance is a pain. Yes, they're both very similar. They both want to tell you that you're not behaving correctly, perhaps, probably, in their eyes because of their moral high ground oh yeah really interesting for both of those guys to actually be on this post as they both has some pretty good Kemp spins I don't really know what an ascot tie is but I feel like they both wear them yeah I'm with you yeah it's just the like when one of the, even Bro Hard, if he does a read about the firefighters or something,

it just doesn't sound as gay. It's just not as, I don't know. That's what Toreko does. I don't know. Toreko is just like. Toreko seems like a guy. I think you're faking it here. Yeah.

It doesn't sound like you're actually sincere about them. So at least treat it like a read. Yeah, I agree with this. Toreeco seems like a type of guy who definitely wants you to think he reads books. I don't know if he does, but I know that he wants you to think he's the type of guy who might go to a play on you.

You know what I'm saying? I meant to research. I think Nance is like that also. Oh my gosh. For sure. Yeah. Nance, I'm trying to get this audio. I'm actually trying to do it on the go. But you should have heard Jim Nance one time. So they were having the Houston Sports Awards, which is actually a pretty big event. And he was like the honoree because he's a Houston guy. He went to U of H and he was like the honoree. And he went on the radio with the, at our time, the afternoon drive show. And it was very simple. Like when you have these guys on,

y'all know this from the Superbowl. Like if you have some rando on, you're going to ask them about the Cowboys in some way. Like you want to localize it because of your audience. But someone just asked like, what do you think about this wild Texans offseason? Like they'd fired Bill O'Brien and the Deshaun stuff was going on, but they didn't ask him to like, weigh in on raping women or something like that. And he just like goes, Oh, I'm here with hundreds of my friends and you're trying to get me in a controversy. Have a good one. Y'all don't want to talk about the math. Really have a

good one slammed his headset down. And then he told our boss at the time is like, man, that was bulls**t. Yeah. Wow. Okay. It was like a simple, uh, like throwaway localized question and he just completely lost it. Um, Stafford has a bad record in cold or snow, but man, I thought he played well. Lot of drops. Lot of drops. So it's, you know, the rest of the team also isn't ready to play in the cold and snow.

Not that the Philly, it wasn't like Philly's great in the cold and snow either. No, that's true. Lot of drops as well. Yeah, Jalen was not good through the air, but the thing is he's got another pitch. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like when it's not going well, I mean, I kind of feel like his legs won the game for him. Saquon's going to get his, apparently, but then to let Hertz run all over you. You know, didn't like him taking that safety. Oh no, yeah, and that was right in front of us. Yeah. Neville Gallimore. Neville Gallimore. Neville Gallimore who did not have a sack all season and then last week I think he had one or maybe even one and a half and then he had that.

He just plays big in big games. Yeah. I think that's what they say. So right in front of us, we would see during timeouts and whatever, we were watching the field. And we had end zone cam when the cheerleading crew would come out to do their thing. So they have like 15 or 20 cheerleaders. One dude. Not just the dance, so dance team does some dance things.

But then they come out with pom poms. Dude has the pom poms. He's like dancing normal? Dude has the pom poms doing the cheerleading stuff. Well they brought him back out, he did, yeah. So I'm interested in looking into who this dude is. Big Dom, sleeveless. So everybody else is wearing the big oversized coats, things, and hats.

He's got a baseball hat. And sleeveless. And what is Big Dom, like their head of security, right? That I believe is his official title. He's more than that. There's something else there. Big Dom wearing a headset. Like communicating, can hear the coaches on the headset.

Yeah, yeah. And like is he chiming in? Is he saying something to Jalen Hurts? It's hilarious. The whole thing is hilarious. He stalks up and down the sideline like a hitman the whole game. I know Sirianni does this also and I guess the legal let you but you can put like a heritage flag somewhere on your guinea. He's got the Italian flag on the hat. Of course he does.

You know, it's hilarious. He's playing the part of Big Dumb. He really is. I didn't realize this these days. I do remember, I don't know what game this is, but I think there was a famous playoff game and it might have been in New England where there was a game-winning field goal coming up and there was snow and like a snow plow drove across the field and cleared a spot just for the New England kicker. Apparently that's now illegal because during the like I guess Collinsworth was

talking about it. Hey! Look at the players out there! It falls from the sky. I like Collinsworth just because I love him. He's got color he's somebody interesting. Brian Curtis wrote an article about Mike Tirico last week. Sorry. And one of the notes that I found, as well as Ted Emrick, we were texting about it, found interesting. Collinsworth at whatever age he is, still mainlining Mountain Dew, Blake. Awesome.

And my comment to Ted was like, there's two places I identify with Collinsworth worth and it's Florida and Ohio Which are absolutely in the Mountain Dew States of America But the players have to clear the spot for the kicker now Yeah So they have to get on their hands and knees and just wipe wipe off as much as they can that's I'll be interested to talk to Brandon about that this week. Yeah, that was cool. It was a 1982 snow plow game. It was a 3-0 victory by the Patriots over the Miami Dolphins,

1982. 3-0. Dan was also very interested. They flipped that field. Oh, time and time again. Dan was also very interested in the support staff. We know about guys, females, who will come out and give you water on the field. They have people will come out and give you water on the

field. They have people to come out and just put coats on you. They will just run out, put your coat on while it's a time out or whatever. And the players are standing on the field with the big coat on. And then they come out. And they run the coats on. It's just very interesting to see behind the scenes stuff. It is. Because you don't see that on the broadcast. Yeah. Would you feel awkward having someone put a coat on you? Yes. That's just kind of just handed to me. I feel bad for you.

I always think that when the guy runs out and squirts water in his mouth. Yeah, just give me the bottle. And he makes you kind of kneel down while he's doing it. He's kind of got his hand on the back of your head. Yeah. What's that about? Why does that happen?

Saquon. Why is he taking the water bottle and tapping it on your tongue? Saquon has eye black on just one eye. Yeah. Under just one eye. Style. So I don't know.

Anything that's done purely for look, Dan is confused by. OK. Is Jalen Hurts doing it just for look, the big giant amount of eye black? Yeah, it looks cool. We did hear the question yesterday in the place, like, do black people need to wear eye black? Well, I mean, it's one thing to say we heard the question.

It's another one to say we asked it. Well, I didn't. I'm not the one who said it. It was somebody I was sitting next to. But it wasn't you. The hubbub from the back was. Yeah, people were talking. Ha ha ha.

Saquon, he's going for the most yards in a single season in NFL history if you include the playoffs. So right now he's at 22-18. Terrell Davis, 24--76 has the most. Mile high salute. Maybe this is a big deal for tomorrow too, just to talk about the Cowboys front, but I can find a way where almost every single thing, commanders and Eagles related, makes

me think of the Cowboys. Whether it's Dan Quinn, Kellen Moore, some of the playersboys whether it's Dan Quinn, Kellan Moore Some of the players whether it's the fact that the Cowboys in this one year decided that running backs Absolutely, not only don't matter they don't need they don't need them at all none And then one of their division rivals signed a running back the year. They decided not to and that guy could be an MVP Everything they did the other teams in their division did the other thing and now they're both in the Conference Championship. And then our last game is the Buffalo Baltimore game. Not as snowy, but also snowy. And let's

So what can you say? The Ravens only 11 turnovers all season and then three. That's a big thing. That's a pretty huge thing in these playhouses. Yeah, you've got to wonder how much was weather on his fumble, on the Lamar fumble, right? Bottle snap, you're trying to pick it up. I don't know. I feel bad for the guy. Right. Well, the end of the game makes you think, ah, you can't just put this on Lamar. Because the way the game ended. He led a, he led, ostensibly, a game tying drive, three and a half minutes left, leads him down the field. Then, you know, a perfect pass, a perfect play,

and a tight end who really does not put the ball on the ground totally just drops it. He also didn't talk to the media after the game. I don't know what you know Mark Andrews is like and if the people there like him, if the reporters like him, if your Landry's in the locker room. It's a bad look. Kind of a bad look. You know, he had that big fumble and then he dropped that pass. Now, the game isn't over.

Who knows what happens after that. Yeah, a minute and a half. I guess feels a little Descott-ish. Tough weather though. Tough weather. To drive down the field, but you know, Baltimore did it. Once they got to that point, I thought Romo had a really bad point and see if you agree with me on this one.

So this is, Mark Andrews had dropped that potential two-point conversion that would have tied the game. That's caught 99, 999 out of 1,000. Now their hopes with only one timeout, their only hope is to recover an onside kick. So this goes under my heading of, Romo always has to talk. Even if you shouldn't say, there's nothing to say. Sometimes there's nothing to say. But you know how Greg Olson will just, he'll just lay out. He won't say anything after that.

But Nance, if he's reading something about a kid with cancer, Roma will be like, yeah, tough answer bad Yeah, it's good. Don't like to mix them. That's like You don't want to put peanut butter on your steak. Do you I mean that would be terror You don't mix certain things you don't do because if you're a peanut butter fan, you're like, I don't like this with steak and then if you're a cancer fan. Anyway so that's what this is. Is to recover an onside kick which the conversion rate on that this season around the league is about one out of 20 about 5% of the time. The only hope you have is that you have the greatest kicker of all time

coming out. He's practiced this more than anybody maybe ever. Nance even realizes there there's nothing to say to that because that's just stupid what you just said. So he is the greatest kicker of all time. For now. I don't right I don't know that he's practiced an onside kick more than anyone else ever When I do a quick search it seems young ho ku has had quite a few onside kicks actually recovered Like I don't know that we know Justin Tucker is man. He's the guy that he's got seven different cool onside He's not that's nothing in his bag to suggest he's a good on-site kick guy. Do you know how it would not be possible?

Now his accuracy on field goals makes him the greatest kicker. Sure. Do you know it would not be possible if he tried for Romo to care less about special teams? I'm telling you, dude. And speaking of Toreko, like Brandon mentioned to us that he gets really Psyched on special teams, which makes a lot of sense to me

And that's noted in that Brian Curtis article like some guys are into it. Romo ain't one of them He's just like I've seen that guy before Justin Tucker But in general, I'm not I don't enjoy a remote call. He just knows he's good. He knows Tucker is good and I will say, well that probably means he can do an onside kick. But that's not the point of the game. The point of the game is Josh versus Lamar, Josh Allen. Didn't have to do much, but when he does, he's pretty great.

Their defense is held up despite losing a lot of guys to free agency getting picked off. Two more rushing touchdowns in the playoffs. He's got seven in 12 playoff games. Let's see, Tom Brady has seven in 48 playoff games. Wow. And he's second all time. Steve Young is first all time with eight. Wow, he's second all-time Steve Young is first all-time with eight

Wow, that's a low number it really is but quarterbacks rushing. Yeah touchdowns And it does set up I mean chiefs It's a good storyline Any of those bills? Chiefs Ravens would have been good too. But yeah, yeah, but I mean chiefs bills is like that's been a great rivalry sure and you know all signs do point to it should be the bills are a better team, but I Don't know. I don't want to bet against the chiefs. What's the opening line to?

Four two and a half. I've seen the Chiefs favor by two or two and a half. So that's kind of where it's at right now. Do you guys enjoy when you think about the Super Bowl? Like the funniest ways that it'll be covered. Like if the Chiefs get in this year, it's like what else can they do from covering 20,000 hours of content about the Chiefs? Like it's all done. Like three Pete, three Pete

all the way will be what it is. They could cover how they're one of the punter for the Chiefs used to play for the Bills and I would be that that that has gotta be the most bitter thing ever because they didn't stand by him. Not at all. They he didn't they didn't stand by him and he got proven innocent That is the ultimate grudge match that nobody's talking about Yeah, I mean every time I see him now whether he's running out of safety at the back of the ends or not. I'm like Boy, and I was probably part of it. Like I don't know this woman says this happened

Usually it seems like it's happened and it was he wasn't even there And he lost his job. What was it? It was a gang rape. It made it look worse. It was a gang rape, and they didn't even stand by him, and then they made it look worse, because you think, well, they must know something.

They must know the truth, so yeah. As soon as I saw him released, I was like, oh, well, so much for what he's saying, and then, oh, he's on the chiefs. Yeah, not even even like there's some questions about it that made it beyond a reasonable doubt he wasn't there and then the other side of course you know if if the Bills make it we're gonna have to have a real conversation about the utility of using al-qaeda metaphors and

that story kind of went away but it was better if it happened in the same season about the utility of using al-Qaeda metaphors to make it to the Super Bowl. And that story kind of went away. But trust me. It would have been better if it happened in the same season, but you're right. It would be better. But they almost fired him last year. Yeah.

Yeah, he had some very bad clock management and play call situations at the end of the year last year. He's had it multiple times. Well, sometimes you crash in the field, okay? Not all the planes made it. It's. Sometimes Mark Wahlberg gets in there and takes you down. He actually did that.

What was the context of those references? I'm going to have to dig a little more deep into that if they make the Super Bowl. He basically McDermott, it came out in a big article about him that he kind of did a While they are murderous terrorists We must admit that the hijackers on September 11th were incredibly well coordinated. They were organized They had to work in conjunction with each other and if you want to have a success like that

Right, so this week we are picked the Kansas City Chiefs is the US government. Okay. Like we're going to have to bond together down to SkyStrake. They changed the world. Yeah. Yeah. Forever. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe there was 11 hijackers. Yeah. 11 guys. See. Like did he use this in a coaches meeting before he used it with the team and like do his assistants just hate him like did like one of them not say, Hey, we probably that's probably not. Yeah, it's the assistant that ended up getting let go. And then he leaked that story to illustrator.

At the time, the guy was like, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, they're back in the conference championship. Well, good times. Joe Brady. Good times. Joe Brady, how about Joe Brady for the cows? Oh, dude, I love it. I would-

He seems like your guy, man. Yeah. Jerry would never do that. He would never do it. Ever. Ever. And I heard Ben Johnson is asking for massive, massive money. Well, he should.

Of course he should, so the Cowboys are probably out on that too. Yep Brian Schottenheimer would do it without needing a pay raise I'll be do it for free. Yeah, all right, whatever just it cannot be Hi, so I have some other I have some other Cowboys stuff, but I want Marty dead Mmm, should we take a break first? We it's a really long show. But yeah, should we say bye to Landry? Are you out of here? Landry long time? Yeah. Yeah, just whatever I'm chillin, man I mean, I'm it's snowed that the whole city shut down right now because there's gonna be like three inches of snow So it's up to you. Yeah, you want to hang for the rest of the show? Uh

Sure. Okay. Well, then we're gonna take a break and the show? Sure. Okay. Well then we're gonna take a break. And, oh, did you want to, are you just pulling up the inauguration during the break? On stream? It's over. Oh. So, I was, well, I don't know if I should say it or not. I was, we had been kicking around like we want to stream a Mavs game. And so I've been kind of dallying with pulling up the Mavs game every once in a while And it seems to be working we can put the Mavs game up if you seem super legal, too Or we don't have to know it's giving it run. Why not? Here, I'll just throw them in a throw up an image well

I did, and if you didn't save money, then that means our listeners have a better chance of saving money because 86% of homeowners get some sort of discount with OwnWell. Well there you go. That's sort of how it works. No, just him own world calm slash the dumb zone that sounds like math to me what is the website own well calm slash the dumb zone our own landing

page there don't pop it okay keep track of a tied Mavs game here or Mavs down to to Charlotte. Okay, so we have a new president, everything's fine. So far. Yeah. So far. TikTok is here. So far.

Landry's still with us. So far. What other check marks do we have to do for today? I'm going to hold this cowboy, it was Dez versus Micah on Twitter, but we can do that tomorrow It was bound to happen. It was truly bound to happen to two Titans of their industry their respective industry Had to get together. All right. Well, let's do the news then. Okay, here's I could just play that and not set it because then it's just redundant

Um so yeah I mean let's start with TikTok It went away it's sort of back the Supreme Court ruling was upheld Did they put out the Stringer Bell meme? The put word back out there that we up? We back up. We back up. Probably. As we talked about, the president of TikTok was at the inauguration today with Zuck and

Elon. Is the president of TikTok Chinese? He is. And Elon is the president of tick-tock Chinese he is Shao zi Chu And so it's a we talked a little bit about this last week It's very funny like Trump was super against it tick-tock. It's because it's China Well, the Twitter thing I saw this weekend was just people all the politicians I saw this weekend was just people, all the politicians who, you know, they hear what Trump is into or not. And so they, they got to go tweet that I'm against it too. And it

like, it was 2020, right? Yeah. And then everybody's screenshotting their, their most recent thing of hell yeah, TikTok's back. We did this for you, but then screenshotted with their TikTok's the worst thing that's ever happened in this world. We need to eradicate it. Yeah. So, it seems like politicians on both sides will kind of shift gears on it depending on what people are saying. But there's a number of cases like this one from right here in Texas in North Texas that are, you know, kind of sad. A man named Matthew Craft, he's from Northlake right here in texas and in north texas there you know it kinda sad

i'm any matthew crafties from northlake and uh... he he quit his job after he became very famous on tick tock he missed two million followers and uh... yeah i don't know really what he does to be totally honest with you It just says he's provided him with a steady source of income to provide for his family He quit for his job. He quit his job in 2019

And that's a big part of this is that there are a lot of businesses I don't know that my wife has purchased anything Like anything that wasn't advertised on Instagram or tik Instagram or TikTok in the last three or four years. So you got a lot of businesses that rely on this. Do we? Not really. What do we do on there? Try to post funny stuff.

But that's not monetized for us? We're not killing it like this guy? No. That's too bad. Well, I guess it doesn't matter now since it's kind of going away, but now it's back. Yeah, so the Biden administration was like, look, I'm not doing this on my last day at work. It's the band's in place.

It's going to be up to Trump and his DOJ to handle this and Trump says he's gonna try to work something out but I mean while I do think they probably will work something out because he can it will be going directly against the Supreme Court ruling and they've been pretty cool to him. Well what I don't even understand what is is their ruling? They're ruling that why can't we have TikTok? Because it's owned by China? Yeah. OK.

Yeah. Because it's just a platform, right? They could just get a different platform. Well, they want them to sell that part of the company. They want them to sell the bite dance to sell the, they wanted to sell, they want ByteDance to sell TikTok. But instead of that platform, just put it on Instagram. Your little video. I don't know man. I saw a bunch of people complaining about it over the weekend. Why are you shaking your head? It's just different apparently.

Me? Yeah. No. Dealing with a layout issue. Oh yeah and from like the idea of why did they want it not in America I mean the Chinese Communist Party owns part of it and they can demand access to all data by users. Age, phone number, location. I mean but do you really care about that? Do you think the roast twins are real concerned if Xi Jinping can find out that they're at Sonic again? Well, that's why I'm wondering, why should we be concerned?

Like wouldn't you be more concerned with your own government knowing that stuff? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know either. It is kind of the first time this has happened though. Where one just at its peak of usage or somewhere close to the peak of usage just went away. It's staying though, right?

Like they're not getting rid of this. In some form, I think it probably will be staying. What is Ji Jingping, I think I said that right. What does he sound like? Y'all might've found your guy with the deep voice. What if this is like the start of the show coming full circle and like this is your this is the deep voice Tick-tock stays. Yeah. Oh

be a sign Well, what if Baron is behind this? Barons not behind this but Baron is a hundred percent pat behind that coin The meme coin. Yes Yeah, what's that story? Don't ask. Oh. I can't help you.

I thought you were leading into it. I wish I could, other than to say that it definitely appears. I mean, I don't want to piss anybody off because I like having subscriptions, but I also think we can all be adults here. All politicians are lining their pockets. Can we just admit that Trump goes to a different degree of fuck it? Like others will put on the airs

of I'm not doing this for personal gain and then they'll of course get this money or that money. I follow an account that does nothing but track Nancy Pelosi's stock trades. There's an app. There is, I think, trades. There's an app. I think, yeah, there's an app for it. Blake knows.

You could set up copy trades in your portfolios and stuff. So that you will do as well as she's doing? Mm-hmm. Quite well. Just copy Pelosi. Yeah. Now, you're not going to be quite as early as her, but you can get close.

Really? Mm-hmm. That's really cool. So they're all doing it, but he just seems to really not care Well, where'd you get that idea when he sold a Bible with it? Which there was some speculation I saw an interview with Lee Greenwood where he said that today he was gonna be sworn in on a new one a new Lee Greenwood Trump Bible that was going on sale today Lee Greenwood Bible. They already have one that they sell

comes with handwritten lyrics to proud to be an American in it. But I don't know. It seems that Trump is like whatever. If this is somewhat legal and I think he amassed tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars over the weekend. Some people made like millions and tens of millions of dollars on the Trump coin. And then there was a Melania coin which I was told to stay away from But yeah Barron's do it you don't think Barron's ripping crypto all day I Would be yeah Anyways

You into crypto Landry? No, no, it's way over my head, man. I'm not there on that. Yeah, I spent all of half time at Cosm yesterday trying to buy Melania coin, couldn't figure it out. So I determined it was probably not for me. Yeah, I'm not in it at all. I've said this a couple times now, but like, so the girls are really not, they don't care about this at all.

Your girls. Like this is not a topic? Crypto? They make fun of- Oh. TikTok. Oh, they're into TikTok. Yeah, they know.

But are they just like, it'll never go away? Probably. Yeah. But are they just like, pfft, it'll never go away. Probably, yeah. I haven't really interviewed them about whether they're concerned about the Chinese government's access to their information. You know what would be really funny is if somehow, like all of our sarcastic TikTok teens could just get in front of the Communist Party

and just make fun of them So that the Communist Party would realize who it is that they're messing with here like a cool suit Where'd you get it? Like yeah, they're the ones that we need to unleash on these other these other countries Have you guys seen that Biden did not want to enforce the TikTok ban in his end of days, but he went ahead and hit several preemptive pardons, which is sick. So you're pardoning someone just in case they get something. Yeah.

How can you pardon someone that hadn't gotten accused of anything yet? How does that go down? I'm not sure. Yeah. I didn't. How can you pardon someone that hadn't gotten accused of anything yet? How does that go down? So I'm not sure. Yeah. Who do you do? I want to hear this list. Let's see. Siblings, their spouses. That's oh.

And a Fauci. What? OK. Who's siblings? Biden's own. Like anybody related to Biden? Yeah. Like just in case you start to come after me. And Fauci, dude, you know Trump's like, let's go. Let's figure out how we can get AIDS man behind bars.

So yeah, he issued blanket pardons for his brother and his wife. How can you do that? His sister and her husband. And then I think... So there are a lot... or like is it focused on something or is it that they can go out and do anything now? No, I think... They can jaywalk. I think he can... he handed them a get out of jail free card.

For anything. Yeah. Anything. Yes. Hang on to it. You might need it. Do you know the first thing I would do? Streaking at a championship game.

Imagine how- I would sexually assault Blake. I don't know if you'd get in trouble for it though. Yeah, because you gotta have somebody complain. It's probably a Salt Blake. I don't know if you'd get in trouble for it though. Yeah, because you gotta have somebody complain. Yeah. The way I'd do it, you'd complain. You'd just complain that it was too quick. I don't really know how it works. As far as like, is it just stuff you've done up to now?

Or is it like, yeah, does it go forward? It's probably up till now you'd have to say it can't be anything in the future You know which seems great Yeah, I mean if nothing else you would have like all that stuff Whatever you've done before you would no longer worry if you were if that was gonna come back up. You know yeah What if it covers murder? Murder I just that's what you don't to pardon people who haven't gotten run down yet. Like that's That's that's crazy. No, I'm just saying murder doesn't have a statute of limitations, right? It says state crimes and civil stuff is is the only thing that it doesn't pardon him from so I think I think murder might

Yeah, I think you can really think it can literally be anything. It's just state crimes and civil with the Fauci pardon. So. Let's see here. What do we want? Oh, how are you guys celebrating MLK Day? Oh, yeah, today's MLK Day. I thought about that while driving here.

I praised Mark Jackson, so I feel like I got my You did you you gave some you're like he's a good pocket passer. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm good man I think my MLK my MLK code has been met with my Lamar Jackson phrase Yes schools give the kids the day off which means they stay up late sleep in yeah junk food And don't do anything all day, and that's how that's the message Yeah, my kids not in school, but I did look at the the you know the weekly rundown and They're given a little lesson. I'm interested to see how that goes I a little lesson. I'm interested to see how that goes. I don't know. I'm interested in how they teach it. You should record their social studies lessons. Record that when they

come home. Just say, so what did they teach you today about MLK? It's not a bad idea. You know, I was going to save this for- He was a great man and then he was shot. I was going to save this for another day but while we we're talking about it, what? On the subject, we're getting a bunch of declassified files coming up. OK. Did you see that? JFK. And MLK.

OK. Wow. That stuff will never be released. Come on, man. Why not? It's coming out, man. And Epstein. I'm pointing it out.

Yeah, Epstein too. There's going to be some kind of a loophole where they're never going to, especially if there's anything juicy in there. It seems like there might be. But you know that if anybody would. I don't know, Trump's already been president, that's the thing. There's so many people like, oh man, Trump's gonna,

yeah but now, why didn't he? We can't run again now. Right, he's in, the second term Trump. You're telling me he thinks he's not gonna run again? Well he thinks if he is gonna be president again, he ain't gonna have to run. He's just gonna be like Xi Jinping And now he's got this freak show walking around with him every day going The maha man

Maha He's got RFK jr. Over there. This is like alright. Let's figure this out How crazy is it RFK's married to Larry to curbs insane? Yeah, why it doesn't make any sense. She's awesome, too Man, yeah, she is had around Really? Yeah, I didn't know that. Oh Yeah Yeah, when I was asking her for the liner, at the very end, I said, hey, can we get one last thing from you?

She goes, what, you want me to take my shirt off? Oh, wow. I'm like, no. She's just pulling pressure. I would like two more things. Yeah. Yeah, I like her. I don't know what's going on, if this is related to it or not.

But my Twitter feed is out of control now. You like a couple high protein, easy recipes and a couple of exercises in the gym, and the next thing you know, I'm just getting straight pilled by conservative stuff. And I'm led to believe we're right on the verge of alien discoveries being released. Is anybody else getting hammered with UAP content?

What's UAP? Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. So UFO, we just can't go with that anymore? No. We just have to change everything? Is UAP the woke way to say it? Yeah, it's like governor. It's your set of owners. Is it because of drones that UFO could just be some random drone

Probably and we need to specify this is an alien yeah Well, I thought you said it was area. I don't know I was gonna say we were talking about Martin Luther King This is a major development in my home, and I'm not sure it's a good one, but my daughter now has a kid's Alexa Hey, while we were talking about Martin Luther King, this is a major development in my home, and I'm not sure it's a good one, but my daughter now has a kid's Alexa. Despite the fact that I've never had Alexa, I've never used Siri, not on purpose, ever.

I've never used a voice-activated command. So wait, explain, what's going on here? She got it for Christmas. I read about it before she got it and just decided I'm giving up. I'm going to give up. They have a kid's Alexa. Because, and yeah, she had been using my dad's. They saw how much she liked it.

And so I'm at this point where it's like look. This is gonna be her life So what am I gonna? What am I supposed to do about it? Like I don't want to give her the phone of the tablet all the time, and I don't we have good rules on it But what's the point like her life is going to be waking up and talking to a bot every day? so why even why just get familiar with it now and The somewhat heartwarming thing is when it started Saturday she had like educational questions like she wanted to give her words in Spanish Or can you count let's count in Spanish to whatever or

What's the weather, whatever. It's really weird, dude, because she'll say things like she knows who some historical figures are, and she's like, tell me about George Washington. And it just goes. But she's using it educational, right? So far. Like she's not asking crazy stuff, right?

Like, is it, they're like, block, like is there a parental block on it there is there is But I still imagine there's some things that get through the the filters a little bit And she asked it yesterday Saturday, are you a person and it was like no, but I can't interact with you. Would you like a joke? Yes, and then this morning apparently they had set the alarm on this thing No, but I can't interact with you. Would you like a joke? Yes. And then this morning, apparently, they had set the alarm on this thing for 6.30. And the whole house is still asleep,

because they're not working or going to school today. And I start hearing something. It was super loud. I'm like, what the fuck is that? So I go in there, and it's like, good morning from Alexa. Today is Monday, January 20th. And here's some things to get your day going. And then it started singing and I was like, shut up.

So is this replacing morning radio? Yeah. And I like waking her up too. So I was like, we don't need you. This is my job. Shut up. So we've turned off the alarm? Don't need the alarm.

That's daddy's job But already I was getting pissed off like Saturday afternoon she's like it knows everything I was like it really doesn't See and now it's really doesn't you and that's when she asked it to tell a joke you knew everything or What's that step dad? That's kind of how it felt like she was asking me. I think you need to step in I think you're I think you're having way too much of a defeatist attitude on this. I think you need to step in It's it might be too late like and oh and the worst part was like the first ten Words she asked it in Spanish. I knew him, but then she asked one. I didn't know and she's like see Yeah, Landry this will play out Jake will get mad enough one day and he'll threaten to unplug it and he'll come back to the establish the run phase that I'm in.

I'm going to get there. Dude, I even had to say, I was like, well, who do you think made that robot? There we go. It's like a human had to make it. She's like, you? No. Well, tell me how it's made. Yeah, it's full bargotsy.

It's got wires. Like, if you went to the future, or you went back in time and tried to prove you were from the future, could you even do it? You wouldn't make any money. No, it's like, I don't know how electricity works. Hell, I went to the gas station this weekend. And a top five annoyance of all time,

I don't think I can put this on my things I'm done with list. Lottery tickets. Not lottery tickets. When you want to get get gas but you want to go inside and or you want to get in your car you set the gas pump but it won't stay on for more than like 10 seconds oh and the unplug oh yeah actually hold it like you're walking up to the store and you hear so frustrating fuck you go back and it's on one oh hold it sometimes you have to hold it at the right angle. I know. Where if you go all the way up, it clicks too.

So you're basically like having to hold it up like three fourths of the way. Yes, and I hate it. Like how many times have you gone inside a store, taken five minutes and you come back and you've pumped 83 cents of gas? So- Do you think there's any chance

that the gas pump guy coming back, like there's all this nostalgia coming back. Like do you ever think there was a time where you wanted someone to pump your gas, like the old school days? Maybe when it's really cold. Are you saying like maybe just like there's like a, like a bespoke sort of throwback movement towards having slaves?

I wouldn't say that. I would say there are employees that pump your gas. I don't, I wasn't like going in that direction. But I just wonder like if there's any nostalgia to that, like, is there any like because I don't know why Sonic still has multiple like just turn yourself into an efficient as drive through and quit having this like sit at your car crap. It slows down your whole process. You aren't even an option when I'm going home.

So stop the crap. Like, let's let's make this drive through efficient. Y'all can keep the same food, make it a little bit quicker, and I don't have to sit at my car and have someone walk like 100 feet bringing me my food. Like that's the thing, Landry, they don't walk, they skate. Not all of them. They'll be right over there. But so I go inside and I tell the guy,

because this is a gas station I go to a lot, I was like, hey, you know, two of your pumps have like the weird thing where you can't leave them where you can't leave them up all the way. And the guy was like, oh, pipes freeze. I was like, what? With gas? And he was like, I think the pipes freeze. And I realized at that point, as I was walking out,

I have really no idea how gas ends up at the gas station. I don't either. what do you mean? Like I know that there's a big truck that pulls up and that they there's a thing in the ground and it's there and you Can steal it and but I don't if you ask me to fully explain like how does getting gas in my car work from beginning? to end I Cannot tell you you know it's a great opinion to have? Is that all the premium, the regular, and everything? It's the same.

Say it's the same, because then you'll get car guy coming at you with, no, the this and this is different in the engine. And really, you can really tell the performance is. Yeah, the performance. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know. I think it's the same formula. I don't even think they change it.

I think it's the exact same format. It's like when they take recycling from your house. Dude, they're throwing it in the trash. Like, let's be serious. Y'all ain't doing nothing bad. No, they're not. My lawnmower guy says- I'm saving the earth.

We got to put premium in the lawnmower. Okay. Okay. Yeah. The lawnmower. Yeah. You know what you're trying to win the Indy 500 with your Ryobi? I don't know, there's something about it. We're going to, we're spurring emails to happen right now. So somebody will, have a, Nora ask Alexa about that. And I love the rental cars that are like, hey, this actually needs the premium gas. Oh yeah. Okay.. The rental. Oh, OK. Yeah.

Does it need a daily hand wash as well? Sure. I'll put premium in it. You got it. Yeah, I'll make sure. Do you all get charged at oil change places? Like, because that is the worst bit in the world. The oil change.

The premium oil. Oh, yeah. They look at me. They smell blood. Dude, I'm so bad. Oh, they walk out with that air filter. Like, look, that looks dirty. That looks awful.

Disgusting. It does look dirty. And I've told these guys this, but the place where I go get my oil change, it's been three times now, it's a drive-in place. So I never even have to get out of my car, it's all lesbians. And they know that I'm weak.

Like it's one thing when it's like a big guy. Andrew, do you think these are hot lesbians working at a garage lipstick? No not exactly buddy No, no, dude, no these are these are interior lineman and They prey on me. You know what I mean like they see me like I we can get one thing We want but the problem the problem with those things are that I've realized now is first of all it's it's they just want to have you trapped in your car to where

they can try to sell you crap yeah like they don't have to go out to the lobby and get you they have you there so they can they can sell you whatever yeah I'm in the car yeah you're not going anywhere.

Don't worry about it there was a guy who was in the news with Trump Vivek Rama Swami correct he's gonna run for governor of Ohio

oh god you're in Trump country aren't you oh it's gonna be ugly I think. Is Rose fired up today?

Okay, you're racist. I selectively remember one. Well, they announced it over, I mean, you know, they just went and told everybody. They didn't tell everybody when Martin Luther King died. That's true, yes. You find out the next day. It's like a mission accomplished banner. Yeah.

That's not funny. Oh. Yeah, Jake. Come on, man. I can't believe you would say that. Well, I hear somebody laughing all the way in Cleveland, Ohio. You guys are silly. Alright.

You're the best. Well, I love you. I'll talk to you later sometime. I guess I don't have to talk to you for another week now since we talked today. Very funny, Dan. Alright. Goodbye. Good luck tonight in your card game. Thank you. You have a good time today. There she goes, folks. It's like a marathon card game. They you, you have a good time today. There she goes, folks.

It's like a marathon card game. They'll play from like three until midnight. Damn. Yeah. That's impressive. I feel like your mom has more zest for life left than I do. Is she off the phone? Yeah.

Didn't have the heart to ask if she had had another one, if she would have named it also after the last guy who is up in there. I'm named after my dad and my brother's named after his dad yeah which you've named the third one Julio or whatever yeah let's see Monday January 20th today so yesterday was mom's birthday on this day in 1930 Kennesaw Mountain Landis banned boxing for all baseball players.

Apparently that was a big deal in the off season. Sure, boxing matches. On this day in 1968, in Houston, it was the largest basketball crowd ever. As they see UCLA play Houston, Houston beat UCLA ending their 47 game winning streak Lou Alcindor was on that team you know who that is Blake cream Abdul Jabbar there you go the sports guy right there no on this day in 2020, Tim Tebow got married to Demi-Lay-Nel Peters in South Africa. She's from South Africa.

And she was Miss Universe. Is it Allstate, the backup quarterback ads? The backup quarterback ads with Colt McCoy I think is progressive. Okay, is it progressive? Yeah, but I don't... So, like first... I get that some guys, yeah, were termed just backup quarterbacks, but Jacoby Brissette is now in some of them and he started this year. Like that's kind of a reduction for him, I feel like.

So, is the point here that established the run dad is now mad about who's in what commercial because they weren't really backup quarterback. What? Jacobi Brissette started this year. I'm just saying. He started a couple games. He's not thought of as a starter. I know, but if I'm Jacobi Brissette, I'm saying to the guy like. I'm not taking his check.

You picture me as a backup quarterback? I've started for a bunch of teams. Ace Kingdom went to, I mean, I think he went to a conference championship. He did. Why are you mad at Jacobi? This is something to not be mad about at all Okay, anyway, so I just bring it up Tim Tebow's ad is like are you inaccurate and it's Tim Tebow

It's like why are these guys just letting these companies poo all over them. That's all stand up for yourself money, baby money Surprise the blakes a little touchy about money Surprised the Blake's a little touchy about The execution of a bit. I mean Colt would have won were beat out of that national championship I don't that yeah, he wants to take down a beehive and be labeled a backup quarterback. I guess that's on him Take on a beehive you that's in the commercial Oh, it would be very funny though if Blake had started referring to himself and his fans as the Beehive.

Everybody had a Dahmer thing? I loved that. You watched it? I mean, yeah, but I liked the interview with him and his dad at the same time time and that was really like my Peak Dahmer. I That stuff like mine. I was doing it at the time. I just skipped all of it we had a realization over the weekend to have just like

I'm just not watching anything scary or bummer ever we got all I've removed that part of art from my life. I'm just I can't do it. So you won't come over on Christmas and watch Cinepied 3 or Texas Chainsaw Mask Yeah, why'd you do this? Is it like a trigger or something like I think so I think it probably started with kids. I think it's kids you just yeah you get drawn more to like positive Stuff on TV like I don't know. I felt good watching Bolt the other night. Oh, how could you not? It's a great movie.

It's a great movie. But then like I realized, what am I doing? Remember when you were like a heterosexual show? I know. All of us. I'm with you. I hope you guys come back someday. Back over to this side.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Oh, Buzz Aldrin, 95. Wow. So I was trying to go. I didn't want to text TC about it. So I went actually to the podcast app and just tried to scroll back as far as I could for IJBs to find the original.

I don't think it's on there. No, we had a big server crash. But does it exist somewhere within TC's computers? Oh yeah, we have all of them. People, yeah. Okay. Because I wanted to hear it like un-beeped, uncut. Uncut. It was back when we were doing the GBL and it was very exciting to me that Jake and TC were doing a podcast and they were breaking down the GBL as if it was the NFL Draft like the next day.

I'd prepared big boards. Yeah, they would talk about every pick the odds that you know they would be booked. I mean it was I was like man this is really cool that someone's doing two hours on our 15 minute segment and yeah that's when Jake had his... I don't know man. Do you hate listening to young Jake? I mean who doesn't? I love it. Yeah, I think we need to find that guy again like not not That guy again All rant from Jake that guy had to take a month off earlier

Or later last year. No, I want it I want to ask you cuz I haven't I haven't been drinking since since June either I I want to ask you like a question. This is just kind of a thing Have you do you do you partake in like non alcoholic beer or is it just kind of like you leave that alone? No, I do occasionally like I've been out for about a week and I haven't replaced them But I do like having them but it's as, it was a bigger deal in October when it was still kind of warm. I tend not to want them when it's cold. And last time, last time we did a stream party,

there was a guy who's like a liquor rep here, and he gave me a bottle of non-alcoholic tequila. And I'm like, what am I gonna do with this? Like, the beer I could see, but the tequila, I'm like what am I gonna do with this like like the beer I could see but the tequila I'm looking at like if you like the taste of beer and I do kind of like the taste of really good tequila but now but it's it's usually like it's a trade-off like right you know how tequila makes you feel and you're kind of going like you're not gonna get a tequila snow cone is there like a

gummy worm at the bottom of the bottle? No, it's tofu. Yeah, piece of shrimp. You know what's funny though is, yeah, like, I don't do that, but I completely forgot what I was about to say. I got distracted. Alcoholic beer, maybe? Or tequila?

Completely tofu. Oh, no. So I don't really do the non alcoholic beer that much But I will tell you and even if you're just like a regular drinker who doesn't have a problem and you quit Maybe you probably experienced this Landry because you fit into that category. Yeah I'm fucking hammering ice cream now. I Like ice cream more now, too Do you ever get the the one that's like a 400 calorie pint

or whatever. Yeah, I mean that's just like, I like sweets a lot more now. I didn't really like sweets and I still don't really like sweets but I have a craving for them way more now because if you're consuming, even if you're somebody who has like two or three drinks a day on a regular basis, which is considered a lot, but if you do that

and you think you're fine, if you stop, your body is going to crave sugar. So that was a big deal at rehab that people were like, can we get some candy, something? And they were real tight about it, and now I notice, after the daddy daughter dance on Saturday, I'm like, they got a new milkshake place. Why don't we pop in there?

Like if you were telling Jake in August you can go back to you tell yourself stuff to bring to rehab Would it be like bring bunch of candy bars or something if you were allowed? Oh, you're not allowed to bring that fuck No, I can't bring any bars. You can't bring anything. I didn didn't know that oh cuz they'll sneak stuff in yeah I mean I had to get you can't have no you had Stuff that was in the package only and you know they wouldn't let me have five-hour energy there's a guy on squid game season 2 who's sneaking in like acid or something and He'll have the games on that they definitely would have frowned on that. I don't know what it is. He's taken Anybody else on squid game. No, okay

Onto the deads I'll start with dead on this day still dead Josh Gibson the black bay beruth They call his numbers count now Isn't didn't baseball like put the numbers together to where he's like up there on the all time home run list that they do. Did they do that? I dream it. Well, I don't think together because he never played in the majors. No, but I think they took the Negro leagues and like put it. It was a weird. Yeah, I'm looking at it. They put like the home run kings and they count the Negro leagues now to like the satchel pages wins count.

It's their version of in racism NFL, except it's in the record book. Like, I don't know what they're doing. Well, I thought we already retired the number for everybody. Let it go. I mean, when is racism over? As soon as they put choose love on the foul polls,

that's when racism will be over. I don't like everyone wearing Jackie's number. I actually think that's disrespectful. You're just acting like anyone can wear Jackie's number on his on Whatever day they wear it. I actually think that's a little yeah because no other player received any racism except Jackie Robinson So everything was great for Larry Dobie. So you should just let everybody wear that This is the guy who's over here trying to get the entire WNBA is League of the Year wasn't Dan.

You think Larry Doby does feel some type of way? And they're always interviewing him. Yeah, of course he does. But they're always interviewing his family. It's like, yeah, what about what Jackie went through? And it's like, well. You know, are you guys looking at me too? We were excluded from the same water fountain.

But yeah, great guy that Jackie Robinson also died in this day. Alan Fried, he is a Cleveland DJ who coined the term rock and roll. Right on. Get him. Did he get any money for that? Go to his mailbox, look for the rock and roll coining term. And meatloaf.

Wow. Died on this day in 2021. Born on this day now dead. Let's start with David Lynch. Don't get it, folks. I don't get it. A lot of David Lynch talk. Speaking of trying to seem like you're reading books.

You think if you claim to really love David Lynch, that you also are in that other camp? Yeah, dude, I believe you, you read all of it. It's okay, I already believe you. You probably like musicals. I never did Twin Peaks, I know some people who just love it though. It kinda seems like a one movie. Slightly funny

version of Tim Burton. This is just shit I don't get. I mean that sounds like you prefer to run the ball a little bit. It probably does. It probably does. You know, give me a little Bruckheimer. DeForest Kelly, he was Bones on Star Trek. And Blake, born on this day now. He was born on this day in 1896. He died in 1996. He was George Burns. Oh my. Smithers. Yeah. That's not him.
