Now, on to today's program. Don't have me. There's ticestero on high today. Sorry, Blake. That's my fault. That's because you're not on the tea like me. I don't make mistakes. I don't make mistakes like paying 100% for my tea either, Dan.

At Game Day, Men's Health, 12 area locations, 10% off TRT for Life. They got a bunch of other stuff. I was talking to a couple of our real men sponsors who have to do real work the other day. Yeah. They have to use their bodies. They get injured. Yeah, yeah.

They get worn down. And a couple of them are on the peptides to help them just recover from injury. And I had a little calf strain a couple weeks ago. I feel great. There's no way this thing would have healed up this quickly. Without the help from the people at Game Day men's health, gameday.dumzone.com. You go in.

They test your tea. It's free to get the test. Maybe you don't need any. Maybe you're like Dan's trainer where they're like, whoa, we need to take some tea from you. But also they can help you with things like weight loss, hair loss, and getting boners at Game Day. We are at Conne Roso. We're looking at us on the YouTube. You can see we're doing a test run, proof of concept.

Okay. You ever see Super Bowl commercials a week ahead of time? Like, oh, that's on the Internet. But then the first time it really airs is on the Super Bowl. Are you doing a soft opening? We're soft opening the Qualist drone. Oh, okay. So this is such a big deal.

What? Look. We have drone footage of Coné Rousseau. That's incredible. It's up there right now. That is floating around. That was my car. Wow.

Yeah, you know, the Goodyear Blimp. would only be going out to big events, Monday night football. You know? Yeah. And we have a PLE Premier Live event right now. You're a part of it.

Coni Roso. Gaston Avenue. The White Rock Lake location. And things are happening here. I feel like there's a pretty good chance that a lot of people are not going to be working tomorrow. And they're going to at least be working for home.

This is like Friday. Yeah. Did I ruin your punchline? Well, my punchline is really just if I were to rewind about 16 months, I would be starting now because tomorrow's not real with the weather. So this is basically Thursday. You'd wait until 11.30, huh? Yeah, right.

Now, you don't start that. You just keep going late at night. There's already, there's some. Yeah, I saw some people poeing up. Some adult bevvvies. What made you think of that? What? Just the second Julie approaches our table.

Conversation shifts to... You can smell wine. Oh, yeah. Well, Julie's an interesting test case here, because Julie, so why did we choose this Conneroso? They do have several. You know, they've got Zolis. They've got Thunderbird.

Why did you choose this one? I did not choose this one. You chose this location. You chose this one. Have y'all been giving me crab for this whole time? Somehow we got the information from Julie, though. I fessed up when I just. chose the saxy one.

Right. He chose Saxi because it's near his house. It felt a lot to me. I chose Carrollton because it was the closest drive for me. And we know this is the absolute closest Conne Roso to you. No, it's not actually. Yes. It's a closer.

Yet you show up late to the show. I do believe that they suggested the Conne Roso and Julie's literal backyard. Yeah. But it did have a mom said it was cool. feel whenever she just emailed and said, they won't white rock. Yeah, they demanded it. I was very excited.

I was very excited, but no, they chose this one. This is a great location, though, isn't it? It's big. The lake, it's white, rocks. It's not me. It's right next to Thunderbird Pyes. So today, are they our mortal enemy? Do we say, do not go to Thunderb because they're...

It's a brilliant marketing move. Pretty sure they're books. Yeah, they're boats. Yeah, they're both. I don't like, I know. They're owned by the same place. Yeah. Or guy.

Yeah. But the point is, that's brilliant. It is brilliant, but to me as... Like, what if we owned all the podcasts? I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, what if you had ESPN, uh, radio under the, uh, cumulus? That'll go well. Yeah.

But the same building. Just have the same guy. Yeah. Put them like, uh, it's like my brother said they used to do with scorpions in Iraq. Like, just just put them in a box and let them fight. See, figure it out. I'm a big

Detroit style fan and to me, when I want that, I'm not even thinking about this at all. Like that is a very distinct like, it's pound town we're putting on. Well, this is distinct too. This is,

like if you went to Italy, this is what you would get. If you went to Detroit? There you go. But yeah, it's different. People want to get away. Over there, they have a gluten-free Detroit style,

which is hard to find. They have gluten-free pizza everywhere. They have gluten-free here, too. I know they do. Jay J. Jerryer knows how to please you. I accidentally purchased at Costco so you know it's a big error. Five pack of gluten-free pizzas because all my daughter eats is cheese pizza. And here's my take.

They're not that bad first time around, but you can't eat them up. Did you experience that? The gluten? Yeah. Yeah. Something about what happens after that first run is. Is cauliflower crust gluten-free? Yes.

There's no bread in it, yeah. Okay. Yeah. But the gluten-free pizzas have evolved a lot. It's better. Over time. And my kid ate it. Yeah.

So. They don't know. Is gluten-free woke? Like, why is this one of those things? It is gluten-free woke. Growing up, no, but I've never heard of anybody saying. I think peanut allergies are woke. Yeah?

Yeah. Definitely. I think that's fake. I think, like, it's a conditioning issue. Sometimes have to go to the hospital. Yeah, but the reason they have to do that is because their parents created, and I'm sorry to any parents here, the idea that they had the allergy and then stopped giving it to them

so then the kid couldn't handle it when they got older. The gluten-free thing, I think, is just now you can actually test your blood, and they can be like, whoa. Were peanut allergies developed in a lab in Wuhan? Yeah, when a guy had sex with a bat. Yeah. Who was eating nuts. With Mr. Peanut allergy.

Yeah. That's right. Forced himself upon Mr. Peanut. That's right. I always was odd, had an odd, homoerotic feel for Mr. Peanut. I liked him. Oh, you did? He's swaggy, man.

Well, it's got that hourglass figure, you know. You know I'm in. You've always been. Yeah. More for that. What's going on today? Oh. We got a drone.

We got a drone. Big weather expected. Oh, yeah. I got. This is all the talk. Everything's about big weather. At my house, we're loading up wood. We have a wood pile out back.

We got to put it into the garage. Now, who's we? Me. Okay. I didn't know if you ever like it. I got you. I mean, we have a house. Do you ever get annoyed by that when a writer does that?

Who paid for it? What? You write an article and you're like, as we've said in this space, it's like it was just me. They always change it to we. But I didn't know if it makes it seem bigger. Like, we had a vote. on how the run sheet would be laid out today. And we have decided.

So for us, and I like having a female here. Because, yeah, so there's some weather coming in. We don't know. We don't know the streamed Sundays TBD. Like I told Dan, though, that probably because I just want to get out of the house. And I live pretty close to Dan, that even if nobody can come over, as long as we can get one of them. If at least Clayton shows up.

I was like, I'll just come over there. We'll just do it. We're going to do it. COVID style. Like people are going to be at home wanting to be entertained. Now there's a key component to this that's... If I was, though, to pick of all of our guests that we have scheduled to come in, because we've had some cancellations on that too, I'll be sending out more emails today.

So if you've hit me up and said you want to be part of the den, you know, maybe if you want to specify, hey, like, I live in that area. that might be better than if you live in Wiley. That's kind of their decision, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. But of all the people that I would say, could they get to the den? I would think I would vote Clayton as number one, yes.

Oh, yeah, without a doubt. Like this guy, it doesn't matter what's happening. Yeah, and I do want to get it. Underground tunnel that he has created that we don't know about. I want to get into panic buying and women be shopping in a minute, but yesterday on Business Wednesday brought to you by Sean Kernan and 360 wealth. We went out toward the new Fox 4 studios in Las Kalinas. And we walked into a construction trailer, and the guy was like, put the vest on, put the helmet on.

It's not a joke. This is an extremely active construction zone. And I'm like, all right. I mean, I've been to a construction site before. No. He was not playing, dude. There was a lot going on in there. Like, watch your steps or you will be dead.

The welding. Like I started backing up in the room they showed us was our studio and realized like there's no wall here And we're upstairs Yeah he got weird about that. Did he do that to you? Yeah, I did it to both of you because you were kind of backing up And I was like, dude, that's...

I go, if you fell, it's like, it's one floor, it's not... Dude, you're talking to... And I guess we know, you'd break every bone in your body. I'm like, maybe... You're 100% would. Maybe we'd break an arm. First of all, that's not... That's about a 15-foot fall onto...

Concrete. If you back out of that, I'd roll. Well. Parkour. It wasn't a sweet parkour spot. But anyways, Clayton just looked at home.

Like he didn't look like... Well, and they all knew. And they all started talking to him. Yeah, they were going to talk to somebody. Yeah, they were going to talk to somebody about how this is going to be... These pussies don't know anything about... Set up. I'm going to talk to this guy.

So, uh, the wife, as all wives. I guess dudes do this with manly dudes with their yards or their pipes. but I don't do any of that. But the female job appears to be really to kind of buy for hibernation. Because, yeah, we usually eat out on the weekend. But it's two days of eating out. So we need to, well, listen. You're not ruining eating out.

Like, yeah, no, it's not ruining. I celebrate. You're the one who should love this more than anybody. First of all sorts. And he's not wrong. And you know it. It's way more likely on the weekend. Back to the story.

Right. We don't, we've, we might need two extra meals, maybe. Dude, I came home and there's, she's like, today, I got the last short ribs at Central Market. Short ribs. You've never made that in your life. It's an occasion now. What are we doing? There's a cheesecake in the fridge this morning.

She's like, well, I don't know how, you know, kids are going to. What are we talking about? It's going to be like two days. It's two days. She bought all these snacks, like, well, we can free all the things. I'm like, I don't know, man. I bet the gas station will still make me a cassidia. Now, I am, I'm made, built for this.

It's crazy overdue. As you know, ever since COVID. I've got your paper towels. I got your toilet paper. I've got that stuff. We're set for months. Yeah. But I am not set for food because we eat out every night.

We order. You dine out. We pick up every night. Yeah. This guys got a strong marriage. Yeah. No, I usually meal prep my lunch unless I have a Con Aroso pizza in front of me. Yeah.

Which I do right now. Yeah. The food was gone. It's produce. Your thing. That's what I'm going. Yeah. I am a little concerned about that.

We have a bunch of cans of tuna. I might be just eating tuna and rice all week. Oh, God. I love it. I have, like, what's in Clayton's bomb shelter. Those are the kind of food. MREs. Yeah, we have that kind of stuff.

Like I'll just be eating paste Some kind of a pace That the astronauts can survive on I'm fired up about it just because the kids Can dick around the snow And that's just the best You get one or two of those a year And I'm like

Dude I'm so excited Have you done a snowman yet? We yeah one of them The Nora has But I don't think I don't know If Carter has but You know we got sleds We bought cheap little

Not sleds but like I don't know Something to pull her around on Yeah basically Yeah So my wife has to work and the hospital's offering a bed. That's why she gets the Blue Angels fly over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, say this again? The hospital's offering beds if she would like to stay Saturday night. In the hospital bed? Or a comp of room or something, but something to... Are you like... I'm worried about you? I don't want you on those roads.

Right, no. That would be irresponsible of you. Yeah, I think you should stay. And especially just with that commitment she has to patients, and you know how seriously she said you don't want her tired. Oath. Hippocratic, right? Do nurses take the oath?

Doubtful. No. Because, I mean, they post wild shit on Facebook about diseases. It feels like a dog. What does the oath mean? Who knows, dude? I think it's if you steal something. I think it's if you steal something, they cut off your hand.

Ah. So whatever, yeah. So that makes sense. You've got both boys, though. So you're going to be. I know. It won't hit the same. No, but you'll have the snow.

Are we? Are we saying snow safely? Oh, my gosh, yeah. Okay, not just sleet or ice or... I think there's going to be snow. I think you're going to get all of it. Really? But yes, the ice is obviously the big deal.

You get a little pre-sip on your Friday evening. Yeah. And then it's going to get like 20 degrees every night. And then what do you have? A hockey rink. That's right. So that'll be fun. That's what we're looking forward to, hopefully.

Not to get political, but it is, like, there's not a government agency in the news called like autumn. whenever that rolls around. So it is kind of funny that, like, you see the weather for half the country, and they're like, oh, God, ice in Wisconsin, out of control. They're hitting at the same time.

That is interesting. We don't have an agency called wind. A word called ice. So what is important, and hopefully you've already done it, is you've hooked up with community mechanical to make sure that your heating HVAC system is purring. Just humming along, right?

Yeah, it just felt kind of sexual. That's wrong? No. No, it's good. Well, with all the eating out talk, I just can't stop, you know. It's going to be a long show. So, yeah, community mechanical. They've done work at Conne Roso.

How about that? Yeah, they do commercial as well. They do, yeah, they've done a couple of Conne Roso. as I believe. They've helped out game day men's health as well in some locations, but they've helped the people. That's what they're about. The grassroots. CommunityDFW.com, you can call her text, Travis, and the team anytime. Countless stories of people who had another HVAC company come out, gave them a raw deal. They didn't know that, though, until they called community. Got good deal. So get good deal at communityddb.com.

If you get yourself a new system, you will get a sit-in. And you sign up for preventative maintenance there, get yourself some merch. It all starts at community dfw.com. And one quick thing from Travis. He said they will have technicians on call this weekend just in case something goes wrong. They don't want people to be sitting in the cold. God damn. I know.

That's awesome. You know how difficult, how impossible that is? Why don't they get a flyover? They should. What? Community? Yeah. I mean, if you think about it, the people who can make your house not freeze are easily as important as nurses who are.

Oh. Oh, the flyer. I thought you were talking about our drone for some reason. No. I'm mixing up everything. No. Do you think flying over? I have.

So you just think HVAC. Yeah. That's our flyover. Is T.C.'s drone over? Everyone puts their hand over their hearts. It's the Qualis zone drone. Don't, uh... He's very...

Sorry. The magic. Um, yeah, I'm just very hung up on the idea that that's how they honored people who were working like 20-hour shifts, blood. hoop and COVID bile all over the bodies. If you walk out to the freeway, you can see some F-18s. They're sick. Look at that one?

Flying upside down. Barrel roll. That's for you. Get back in there. Yeah, community. Yeah, community is what he's saying. Today in Twitter, or do you want to do some sport? Oh, you know what?

I want to save today in Twitter. When Jimmy Nelson gets here. Oh, yeah. Jimmy Nelson is a local comedian. We love him. We think you will, too, and he will. be here at Kanye Roso,

White Rock Lake. It catches on fire. Yeah, he's a... With their woodburning ovens. Part-time fireman, full-time comedian. This is the way we like to look at him.

We could just start with some sports then. Yeah. You like sports, don't you, Julie? Sure. Remember then? You talk about sports

on the mom game. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I like that. Who's the last sport person you had on? Oh, dear. Joe Shane's wife? No, I don't know.

We had Tony Casillas a little while back. Don't you have wives on sometimes? Yeah, we have wives on. It's called the mom game. We had Pat Mahomes' wife on. Or sorry, that was his mom. Randy Mahomes. Really?

Yeah. Couldn't get his wife probably. We're like when it was coming out. Did you know that it would one day? Yeah. She doesn't know me. Well, she was an intern at the gym when I used to go there. She said, like, no to podcasts.

Yeah, she like kind of already said no. But, oh, I just want, one quick mom game thing. Sure. Before sports that I forgot about is I learned a term from Julie the other day on the mom game called Herkle Durkle. And I said it to my wife and she was like, yeah. Like she knew? Yeah.

Oh, so this is a lady thing? It was on Urban Dictionary too. Or one of the websites I looked it up. It's like an old Scottish term or something. Like, it's actually a real term, and then Urban Dictionary also adopted it. Go on. So does Dan not know a Hercl-Dirkle? No one does hear, other than me.

Does anyone here know a Hercl-Dircle Dirkle? These are a bunch of hard-deed warrior men, and we don't... They would never Hercl-Dircle? No. Well, go on, and I'll tell you. Oh, okay. You Hercl-Dur-R-Lorkel. Should the situation present itself?

Right. So I learned about this term from my tennis team. My tennis team text thread isn't... Oh, I love them to death. They're absolutely insane. But a lot of them, Hercl-Durkel, not many of them work. They're living a very hashtag blessed life. And they were talking about Hercl-Durkeling on our text thread.

I'm like, well, what the heck is this? So apparently, like the mom version of Hercl-Durkeling is you wake up early, take the kids to school, which is not easy. We all know this. No, it's impossible. It's like running a marathon. That's a third of the $250,000 a year your work. It should be.

It should be. You deal with attitudes, breakfast, lunches. I don't want this. I don't want that. School zones? Oh, God. It's madness. Troop.

So a Hercl-Durkel is when you take the kids to school, you come back home and you go back to sleep. That's what they do. That's what they're doing all day. Don't point at me. When they say like, it's just so stressful. and everybody's like, well, what do they do and the kids aren't there? That doesn't, they're just going back to sleep.

The house is still dirty, huh? Yeah. I was busy. And I got to tell you, I mean, it doesn't work real well with this schedule, but at times I've done it, it's the greatest sleep you'll ever get in your life. Like, if you could fall back asleep from 8.30 to 9.30, you wouldn't believe how solid that is.

Well, yeah, and it's kind of come around to bite me because guess who this morning, after we take the kids to school, looks at me and I was like, I think I'm going to hirkle durkle. My husband. I'm over there like, you know, do a deal. It's all fun and games in the office.

You want it a quality. They always want a quality. Right? I go in to get ready to come here and he's just snoring. But sometimes you do. You have a bad sleep or whatever it is in that one hour or 30 minutes can make a big difference in your day.

Why do women hate men relaxing? God. Because they also need to be doing things. You think we need to be cleaning the house. They do, though. They hate it. Like one time, you're taking a nap and it's like, oh, that's the whole rest of the day. I got the flu.

I was walking around with the test. I have the flu, and she was just looking at me like, get a job. Yeah, you can't get sick. Men aren't allowed. Oh, the main flu. I mean, he hurtled, dirkled without wrapping the pipes for the freeze. Our pipes are still naked. You cannot get back in bed when things aren't prepared for this big freeze.

You're probably someone who goes out and covers up their roses as well. Such a weird accusation. You just said I'm on a tennis team and all this other stuff. Anybody who's got roses to cover ain't doing it themselves. They're getting Lupita. Oh, really? Yeah. No, you can have roses and not be like rich.

We have killer roses. What does that even mean? It's like the easiest plant. I feel like it's the best plant hack. We just got our first shrug. I have everything. Killer Roses. Highly recommend.

Dang. Killer Roses.com. What the fuck? Just pretending like I'm getting commissioned. Oh, okay. So my football consumption yesterday, sports consumption, was everybody else, all the losers have to have their press conferences. The Cowboys did theirs early because they were a loser pretty early.

But if you fired your coach or you, you've, you've been. You find your coach or not. Yeah, does every team do that? Yeah, they do. Even if there's no big moves? Yes. Okay. It's locker room cleanout day.

Yeah, they do it. Just end of season. This is a project I'm going to put an intern on is I want to compare how long they all are and see if there's any correlation to – because the one that was the talk of the day was the bills, and it was an hour, which the Cowboys will run over an hour, but I've never seen another one like that. but if you want to get to that because it's the meat i'm going to play you joe sheen first because you just mentioned him okay this was only like a half-hour press conference mostly because it was joe sheen introducing john harbaugh and then never really talking again and the backstory that everything

the giants have done with gm and coaches has been weird because they would hire a gm who inherited a coach and that they would get crossways that gm would be that gm would get fired, that head coach would stick around, new GM, then he's inherited, and they would just never stack it right. So nobody, it was the furthest thing from Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. They were not ever on the same page. And then they're drafting quarterbacks in the middle, like, what are we doing? Whose guy is who?

And it seemed like the GM had a lot of power. Dayball got fired. A bunch of moves have blown up in their faces. But he didn't, the GM didn't get a power. And then he's still there. Kind of the similar to the Brandon Bean and Buffalo thing. Yeah. The Eagles have experienced this before, too, with Howie Roseman,

where they brought in Chip Kelly, moved Howie Roseman to like literal equipment manager, and then when they fired Chip, put Howie back in, and now he's two Super Bowls later. They went with the theory I have. Yeah. Because if you're paying someone, you make them work. So if you fire Mike McCarthy,

then he's a scout that year. Or he's now your offensive coordinator, you know, he's the wide receiver coach. In fact, I absolutely wanted that with Nico. I wanted him to have to greet people coming in. I want him to be the guy with the wand when you're coming through the... Yeah, I love it. Or a Maddo should be standing out there feeling his shame every day. As people walk in, they're like, fuck you for ruin and everything in my life.

You know? How great would that... What's he making right now? three million, four million to not be getting berated every day? I think that's great. I think having McCarthy be quality control could present some problems that. All right. Well, we can work on it, but at least you're coming around a little bit.

So Joe Sheen, I think I try to use this once a month. Joe Sheen is getting cucked harder than anyone in sports has ever been cucked. Because they just hired strong head coach in Harbaugh. They kept their GM, and he is deer in the headlights. He knows he's on the chopping block. Harbaugh's already said he reports directly to John Mara, the owner. So here is Joe Sheen introducing Harbaugh yesterday, and he kind of has a little bit of Chris Farley show voice.

Good afternoon, everybody. This is obviously an exciting time for the New York Giants as we're set to introduce our next head football coach. Before I get started, I'd like to thank ownership, John Mara. Generic. Ownership, yeah. And he's got a shake voice right about now. John Mara and the entire Mara family.

Steve Tisch and the Tish family. Julia Koch and her family. Along with the entire football operation for your commitment and your collaboration throughout this process. When we set out, we were looking for a proven winner and an elite leader. We're fortunate we were able to find both. John Harbaugh has amassed 193 career victories, 13 playoff wins, and a Super Bowl championship. John...

Really? Very nervous. For a pre-written statement, very pregnant pause. John has built a foundation of culture, player development. That's him breathing, by the way, if you're listening. Not us. That's not our mics. has built a foundation of culture, player development, and toughness throughout each of his programs

that he's been a part of. He's a proven winner. And when we set out to do this, we knew that John was going to be the perfect person for the New York Giants. When we did our research, what continually came up was John's respect that the players had for him and the ability to develop young men. And with that being said, I would like to introduce to you the next head football coach of the New York Giants, John Harbaugh.

I don't think I've ever heard a guy that nervous at his own job. You know, even when Nisiriani bombed, it was like, oh, he's new. This guy's been the GM of the Giants for five years, and he's like, here's John Harbaugh. He's on a job interview himself now. Right now.

It's probably a one year. Yeah. Leash he's got. But if John Harbaugh goes to me, Maron's like, get this dork out of here. I'm so tired of this nerd. I've dealt with real GMs over the, you know. Yeah.

No, it's not looking good for him. Which is interesting, because I was thinking of John Harbaugh, in a sense similar to Mike McCarthy in that I think Baltimore has their way of doing things. And I think they have a very strong front office. And I don't think, I think John Harbaugh certainly does. did work with them on getting me players, you know, getting players that were all on the same page as. But how much different is it than Mike McCarthy working for the Cowboys? It's probably not that different at all. Well, I shouldn't say that.

In the sense of the front office does this, you know, has a certain amount of power. Like, Mike McCarthy didn't lead the front office. John Harbaugh also didn't lead Baltimore had their thing. No, but what I think this is more like, I think this is more like when Belichick was trying to get an NFL job and saying like, fine, I'm going to be free. Now I'm going to be in charge of a whole thing. McCarthy, I think, and I'm not saying he didn't want to win. I'm not saying he was feet up by any means. But McCarthy came here knowing like, all right. Right.

Like I'm not getting any control here. Well, which is why I think. Relative to Green Bay for sure, you know. Structure, he might be good for Pittsburgh. Because Pittsburgh, certainly, their front office is very strong. They do things the way they are going to do with them. Yeah, for sure. It seemed like a fit to me.

But, yeah, he's going to be in charge, and they'll sink or swim with him. I think he might be a fit in Baltimore, or excuse me, in Buffalo. Yeah. Actually. They're screwed. I want to get to Buffalo. I want to read an email. Somebody had sent us about Flooring Direct DFW.

Like, this is really a good email. It is email day, too. I forgot about email day. Well, no, it's mail call. I know. It's just a funny way to say it. Oh, email day? Just got this in the mail yesterday.

Said we've been putting off getting new flooring upstairs for a couple years. Do I need email song or music behind it? I think... This is better, right? Always. Viewer mail. Putting off getting flooring upstairs for a couple years because it sounded like a big hassle. After a visit to flooring direct dfW.com slash dumbzone, we received an almost immediate response to schedule our in-home consultation.

Our salesperson was outstanding, helpful but not pushy, gave us a quote within 30 minutes. We were so happy with that. We didn't even seek a second quote, especially considering what I knew about the five-star installation that I'd heard you explain on countless occasions. A little shot. We executed our contract and scheduled installation over text messages, which was extremely easy. Not the major hassle we feel, we feared. My wife and I erroneously figured, given the size of the job and removal of both tile and carpet, the install would take a week or more wrong.

The installation started on a Monday by Tuesday afternoon. My wife and I had a brand new SPC flooring. It took two days. Let's go shoddy style, major hassle? No. Was the furniture moved and put back in place? You bet. Did the install crew leave a mess when they left?

not even close. Anyway, would I give it five stars? No question. Even though the showroom for Flooring Direct is only 15 minutes for our house, we likely would have never called them, much less contacted them with no other quotes, if not for the Dumb Zone and other DZ testimonials. We will use them for future work in our home.

Maybe what I just shared will get me a, quote, good dude from Jake. This is from Ryan. Ryan, good dude. We're going to come to your house and film you saying this. Flooring Direct. SPC. Form.

You want to take a crack at that one? Let's go flooring direct dfd.com slash dZ. Okay. All right. SBC flooring. What do you got? What is it? Yeah.

Way better than whatever shit you got. Stone polymer composite. Oh, really? Yeah. Not that weak shit. I might have got stone if you gave me a half hour. Anyways. Anyways.

So let me slide over to that Buffalo Bills Press Conference. Yeah. This was the one that was going viral for all sorts of reasons. But this had the owner, who I think you rarely hear from. That was the gist I was getting from all the media questions. Yeah. He also has a nice force field. Well, it's not a nice.

Apparently his wife has undergone some medical issues. Let me tell you something. That's what he would throw at him any time they're like, well, Hawaii, have you not been really so forward with me? media. And that's fine, and I know there are a lot of guys who put stickers on their cars about how much they love their wives, but that guy hangs out with other NFL owners, and he sees what happens when Robert Karaft's wife dies. That guy can't wait for her to die. He's using the force field right now, just like they did when Robert Karaft's wife died and they did a memorial. I'm pretty sure

his new piece was at the memorial game. Yeah, watch that. Watch the nurse that he hires. Yeah. What we're going to go sad for Terry Bagula. So this is going to go back and forth a little bit with the owner and with the GM. But basically, this is the most controversial firing of the offseason. Dude, it's insane. It's a guy who's been to the playoffs seven years in a row. It's not insane.

It's not like a bad decision. It's just wild that I live in a place where the team that I root for is not sniff the NFC championship in 30 years. And they're firing a guy after six straight playoff. off seasons. And it doesn't seem... It doesn't seem like there is a real coherent reason on why they are firing him. Here's the owner. My decision to bring in a new coach was based on the results of our game in Denver.

Okay. He would go on to say, you know, went to the locker. He said this a few times. I was in the locker room. You should have just seen the despair. Josh Allen's crying. He's sobbing. You know, just everybody's.

that's what did it for me being in that locker room okay that's important to note because we'll get back to that he does defend Brandon Bean here I believe in an odd way Brandon has

brought in Joe Shane who's now the GM New York okay so you know he's like if you show up you're like dude he's a good dude he's uh you know him he's friends with Dahmer well yeah but Joe Shane

leave that part out We all think he kind of sucks as a GM, so let's keep going. Dan Morgan, the GM in Carolina. We'll warm it up. Dennis Hickey, former GM in Miami. You had Dennis Hickey. Brian Gain, who's still here with us. I can't get another job.

I just thought that was an odd defense. Yeah. This is a guy that found Joe Shane, bro. You don't. You can't get rid of the guy who found Joe Shane. It's Joe Shane. Okay, here's another, I know you like numbers, so here we go. Does anyone know what the numbers 523-226 represent?

What? I was thinking it was a phone number. No, bro, honestly, when I first heard this this morning, I was like, has Sean Pate, has Sean Dermott coach 700 games? Was that his record? I'm asking the question. No? No.

That's our seating over the last seven years in the playoffs. 5, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 6. An organization doesn't carry that kind of record without being a great organization. Okay, so then he's saying that to bolster his, why is Brandon Bean still here? You can't get that kind of seating without a great GM just giving you great players. Yeah. Kind of then ignoring the other components here. It's goosebumps.

Do you think it was more of the, you know, you could say the same thing if you fired the GM and kept the coach. It's like, boy, our players have sucked, but our coach really got us up here, you know? But it goes back to that Bill Walsh thing that you mentioned. And I saw that quote the other day again, and it's pretty compelling. Like, yeah, the GM and the owner are just sitting up there talking all the time.

Yeah, who has better job security, the guy who's always next to the owner. Yeah, or the guy who has to coach the football team. And rolls in every now and again and has to answer to, hey, why did you not use this great player? that I drafted correctly. Right. Another thing that I'm coming out of this hour

after listening to it, I'm thinking winning a major award may have been very bad for the head coach. Well, here it is. We are focused on bringing a Super Bowl to Buffalo. We have an MVP quarterback. All right. That's going to be brought up throughout this.

And they keep going back on, we got an MVP quarterback. So it's kind of the inferences. You're the coach. We gave you an MVP quarterback, bro. Yeah. Yeah, but the wide receipt. I gave you an MVP quarterback.

And this is something you've heard from Jerry. You know when I showed I was all in? When I gave this idiot, it's $60 million. $60 million. Yeah. I'm all in. Figure it out. You're the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.

It's probably why McCarthy got fired. And I think that's why this guy's getting fired. So now the GM is going to talk to. He's Brandon Bean. And he's got some bingoes. This is one of them. I just feel like it's a bingo for a guy who's embattled. No one puts more pressure on me than myself.

Just talking about like... Definite bingo. Yep. I'm my own harshest critic. You think it's bad when the media talks about us? I just can't stop working. I believe he's going to do the other bingo. We're starting that process as soon as today with interviews.

So with that said, I'll turn over to questions for Terry or myself. Terry, you mentioned that you thought it was. Oh, wait. I missed one. Sorry. No one puts more pressure on me than myself. Yep. Okay, sir.

You know, the term pressure is a privilege is spot on. And this job is a privilege. Working this organization is a privilege, and I don't take it lightly. We have, as Terry alluded to, an MVP quarterback. There you go. That's the one. All right, now we're going to get to the questions. Boy, the media.

First of all, my thought is that Tad runs a much tighter ship. Yeah. Because these guys are all, it's very much like you see the movie. This is another movie thing that usually isn't real of once you're going to, Champ, champ, champ, champ, you know, everybody, the whole group of reporters is yelling like that. But that's kind of what they're doing here because there's no real order. We're starting that process as soon as today with interviews. So with that said, I will, I'll turn over to questions for Terry or myself.

And Terry, you mentioned that you thought it was a catch and told Josh it was a catch. Why would you fire a coach based on a bat? Obviously a great question. Great question. Obviously a great question. So, yeah, you said you lost because of that game and because of that catch. I did not fire a coach based on a bad officiating decision. If I can take you, if I can take you into that locker room, I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall.

Very subjective. Very subjective. He goes on to talk about, I mean, I feel like this wasn't a well-thought-out decision by this guy. Not at all. Everything he says would indicate that. No. Before the playoff game, how'd you maybe he started thinking about? Okay, so listen to this question.

Before the playoff game, were you contemplating this? How far before the playoff game had you maybe started thinking about this being a possibility? After the playoff game. in the locker room. So he never thought about it until after the playoff game, I'm in the locker room. He's emotional as well. They all can't figure it out. Right.

And he's thinking to himself. The opposite of PNC. What? So all these other people are doing things. Towards winning this champ, what can I do? That's all it is. What can I do? Well, you know what?

This is the power I have. Yeah. Sucks. How can I... It's the curse of the manager. How can I influence change, like, immediately? Because if I get rid of Joe Shane, there's a slow drip of a change. This will be a big change.

It's tricky, though, because I'm not even saying there wasn't... Not Joe Shane. I think that there's an argument for firing him, but it just doesn't sound like they went through the process of arriving at that. Like, you should have talked to Joe Brady beforehand and been like, hey, don't interview with these other teams. We want you. But now they're going to miss out on that.

It definitely just feels like they got emotional about it. Saw a bunch of people crying. and we're like, fuck this. We've got to do something. I got another bingo from the general manager. I'm a passionate person. I don't think that's new on anybody. Yeah. And do I regret that probably the biggest regret is I probably put pressure on the wide receiver group

when I reacted in that way because I felt like they were. Okay, so what he's talking about here is this interview he did? I listened to it. It's very overblown. Yeah. Did you hear it too? Yeah, it would have been barely anything. He was on a, it was like the day after the draft type thing,

an interview with a local radio show. He had heard them kind of saying, kind of sucks. We didn't get a wide receiver like we thought, you know. We had lost some wide receivers. And he kind of came at him with, it's weird he would focus on that and not focus on the, this and that.

But it was really, overblown. It was overblown. It wasn't like this guy came out yelling. No, he just came. He got on and was like, hey, I just listen to your show. You guys bitching about how we didn't get a receiver.

Just like you were bitching back in 2018 when you wanted Josh Rosen, Josh Rosen instead of Josh Allen. And they were like, you're being weird. And then they just talked about the draft. Yeah, then it was fine. So one of the big viral things that has come out of this is the, the thought is that Josh Rosen, you're not getting him enough skill guys. around him.

Alan now, but yes. Josh Allen. Sorry. So, Iceland, Greenland? What's the difference? So, um, he, they had drafted a wide receiver in the first round two years ago, Keon Coleman, who feels to me, at least from afar, it seems like their version of, um, uh, Jaden Blue.

Like he's got off the field. He's just kind of like, yeah. He's just kind of maturity issues. That's what you hear a lot of with him. Yeah, who knows? Maybe he's George Pickens. He might have the talent, but he just, whatever. At least that's the way the GM who drafted him would have to say.

But anyway, this kind of went viral. It's a really weird thing because this guy's name gets mentioned a few times. He's on the team. He's on the team. He's only a second year player. Next year will be his third year. He has not lived up to anything near a first round. wide receiver.

But they keep talking about the fact that, you know, that's all you had. Like we lost wide receiver, you know, you've lost Stefan Diggs, you've lost this and that, and this is all you've done for the wide, for, you're, you're the one ruining Josh Allen's career here. Further to that, though, the wide receiver position has been an issue with this team. And a lot of people out there believe you have failed in the free agent market and then obviously with the Keon Coleman signing, which hasn't worked out. How do you answer the fact that you have not given Josh a good enough wide receiver room, thus?

Can I interrupt? I'll address the Keon situation. The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. that was Brandon being a team player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. That is just dumb as hell. I mean, you can do it if you own the team, but he's still on the team and the coaches that he's now saying drafted him aren't. So how's this kid's supposed to feel?

Yeah. And that's another thing. That's Jerry-level stuff. Right. And that's another thing that, yeah, it just goes to show that, I don't know, they're just not all on the same page. But it's the, oh, Brandon Bean, there is a documentary. Was it like a hard knocks or something? There's a couple different things, hard knocks, they got their own team.

There's video with him. It's the day before the draft, and they're asking who are you going to take tomorrow, and he's like, hopefully Keon Coleman. Yeah, if he's there. There's video of him at the Combine. cheering, you know, verbally cheering, with his buddy sitting there, very happy that Keon Coleman ran a slow 40, because this might help him drop to us. Like these other teams, these idiots don't know that we're glad he's running slow.

I hope he trips and falls. You know, it's the Dirk thing when the Mavs. I don't want other teams to know about it. They didn't want other teams to know about Keon Coleman. So all this, that's months before the draft. And somehow now it's, this is the coaches. My guy here who sits next to me every game has kind of a whispered that to me.

Throughout the process here. Yeah, the owner, it's crazy. You know, you just see the dysfunction in these businesses. It's just like any other business, except in this one, there's just one guy in charge who, if he decides to change the course of things, everything is messed up. Like our most popular business entity in this country,

are mostly just run by old guys who get pissed off. NFL teams or their families. I guess it makes it part of the fun. Yeah, for sure. This was a funny. That if they were run like real companies. This was funny defense of the, so they don't have a true number one ride receiver, right?

You might say George Pickens is one or CDLamp certainly is one. They don't have one. Every team has a best receiver. They don't all have a true number one or a true ace. so he's Brandon Bean has kind of a good comeback on that I want number one receivers everywhere I do but I also want to make sure I mean there's teams out there with number one receivers

that haven't made it as far as we do there you go okay other teams have number one receivers yeah and they didn't have as good of a record as we did man yeah there's gonna be he knows he's getting he just knows he's getting fired eventually. You know what, let me jump to... Or sooner rather than later. Let me jump to this one, because I think this

goes along with that. Let me see. You mentioned you said it was a reflection of the roster that they had to play so many guys deep down the depth chart. Okay, so this is kind of along that line. You know, you're... You have number one receivers,

but, you know, you've had to play with this guy, you've had to play with that guy. Anyway, I like this at the owner. You mentioned, you said it was a reflection of the roster that they had to play so many guys deep down the depth chart because of injuries. But they kept winning football games, so why was that also not a positive reflection on Shaw McDermott's coaching? Again, I go back to 523-226. Great roster, good coaching, no Super Bowl appearance. and I can't emphasize if I can put you all in that room at that moment after the game. It's like, how do we overcome this?

The more he talks. He just kept talking about the room. Right. The more you think, you just keep telling us you made a wild emotional decision that did not look at 523-226 closely as far as like that being a big positive. Now there's one other big moment here that I really like where the GM is going to put his finger in the chest of the collective media. But first, let's tell you about one-day doors and closets.

Julie has spruced up her whole house, right? With one-day doors and closets. So what is the scene? They walk in. Yeah, they walk in. You tell them what doors need to be replaced. Usually you know, because they kind of suffer. and they'll come take a look and then they'll build those doors and they get it all ready right outside your house actually and they can do it all in one day.

They come replace them and there's a lot of things I didn't even know about doors like you need until they told me like you need a solid door to keep noise out of certain rooms. How's that working? Great. Or to keep the noise in. Or to keep the noise in and your dreams, yes. You know, oh. Okay, go ahead. all the noise that's going on in your room.

When she's screaming to get out. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But the solid doors do make a huge difference in keeping noise out. And I think like so many people, it seems like everybody nowadays is working from home. So that's why it's been great for us.

Good for kidnapping. Kidnapping? Ariel Castro type thing. Yeah. If I were to keep three women. Forcibly in my home. You've got a lot going on in the other house. With these doors.

No, none of those things. None of those things. But I'll tell you. Another thing I'm not going to do is pay full price. That's right. One day, Texas.com slash promo 30. Buy two doors, or excuse me, buy one door, get two doors. Fill out your house there.

So it probably just keeps going, man. You buy four, you get eight. Who knows. Yeah. Guys are nuts. One day, Texas.com slash promo. They're going to go out of business with this. One day doors and closets.

All right. All right. You go and then I got one more. I got some stuff before we go. Okay. Let me hit this one again. because he reiterates, the owner will jump in and reiterate something. Brandon, at the trade deadline, you said that you felt the team had a championship roster.

What, in your mind, led to the group falling short of that? I mean, Jay. A bad call. The owner jumped in on that one. Oh, man. The only thing that led us to a bag. So, again, it doesn't make any sense. That means Sean McDermott did everything right, but the terrible ref.

He even referenced before, like, the 13 seconds. Does that 13 second comeback with Mahomes? You know, really? Just on Sean McDermott? 13 seconds, a miss fuel goal, you know? I just hate listening to someone use no logic. That's probably what people think listening to this show. But, like, he's flat out saying it's like if they had won that game, they wouldn't have fired him.

Okay, so here's, right. And they lost that game because of, in his mind, an erroneous call. So here. That doesn't make sense. is, okay, it's a good question, and it's one of those, hey, people are saying, I'm not saying it, people are. The perception from the fan base out there

is that this was some kind of power play made by you to still be here in Shaw now. Yeah. As Terry said, there's disagreements all throughout, way before this year. It's not. Okay, so let me jump to, because this bothered him, this question,

that it was a power play that he won. that's hurtful to even hear that or say that like I worked 19 seasons starting as an intern in Carolina and worked my way up I came here and I've never tried to do that I would love for anyone who's making that accusation to walk in these doors and ask any person player coach trainer anyone like people can disagree with draft picks that I make or people I sign or I screwed up the wide receivers, whatever it is. Funny when he says that too, your wide receivers are still on the team.

Like those are harmful, harmful things that... It's like a slur. You know, I walk in the door and my wife's got tears coming down her face for stuff like that. Honey, they said that... That's unbelievable, dude. They said that you don't have a true number one right? And, and. How you have taken a garbage?

I'm going to damn try hard to win a Super Bowl here. Damn try hard. Somebody to question my character. Gee Willickers. Like that. Wait, don't question my character. Not my character. Stuff like that.

That's Bush League. And I'm going to damn try hard to win a Super Bowl here. I am. But for somebody to question my character like that. Not Brandon. F is B.S. Yes. Yeah.

And I've never done that. That's bull hockey. Yeah. Does his wife come out or he comes home? She says, you're a hell of a GM. You're a hell of a general manager. The fact that you had to get a backup guard is more important than the, they just don't understand you like I do.

Well, it's good to know other teams have these problems too. He doth protests even more. I've done nothing but have everyone's back. And so for someone to question my character, my integrity, that's where I draw the line. Oh, the line has been drawn. You don't cross a line. By Brandon Bean.

At my character, my friend. And then one more little defense of his GM. Like, why do we keep him? Not the coach. I don't know if anybody knows it in this room, but Josh Allen wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this guy. Well, there you go. It's a pretty good trump card.

That's a pretty good trump card. Donnie Nelson employed for many, many years. Yeah, yeah. The Cowboys have hired a defensive coordinator. Whoa. Christian Parker, the Eagles secondary coach, young coach under the Eagles for the last couple years. Let's see, he's 34.

Christian Parker. Yeah, man. He's one of the names you've been seeing three or four for the people who follow this stuff. And he's not Jonathan Gannon, who might be great, but I was never going to. going to be able to get over the Jonathan Gannon vibe. The weird Kyler video, the weird intro, the fact that he, I don't know how to describe,

he's got a little McPoyle to him, you know, just looks like a little weasel. Christian Parker, black coach, Cowboys are hired black coaches. Fangio guy. Fangio guy, which is the wave. You hired an offensive coordinator that's, he's not a Shanahan guy, but he's part of like this next wave of how to approach offense. You hired a DC, he was 34, came up under Van Gio. This feels like a shoddy hire?

I don't know that he knows the guy, and I don't know the connection. What I know is that it doesn't feel like a Jerry or Stephen Hire at all. It does monetarily. Yeah, but they don't pay the other guys either. Right. You wouldn't have had to pay Jonathan Gannon. I guarantee you they weren't paying Iberflus anything. So, yeah, it's a money play, but it fits more with the money.

It fits. That'd be a Jerry hire because he's heard of him. He's heard of him. Yeah, he's a head coach. Yeah. And he's white. No, this is cool. He was born in 1991.

How old does that make you feel? That hurts. The new Cowboys defensive coordinator? Yeah, he's born in the 90s. He, uh, all you need to know is that he, he worked right, almost right out of college for Jimbo Fisher at A&M. Oh, wow. Not Kevin, uh, Sumlin, not, no. Jimbo. That's how recently it was.

I have a couple things I want to play for you real quick. And by for you, I mean you, Dan McDowell specifically on the sports front. It is Pac-Man Jones appearing on, is it games with names? Is Julian Edelman's podcast? I think he used to do it with Sam Marell, this comedian. But it's two dudes. Edelman just sits there BS with a fat dip in. I'll tell you this.

They were talking about the Bengals, right? Pac-Man and Edelman. and they spent three or four minutes talking about Hawk. Pac-Man kept saying Hawk. And I knew, from all the obvious context clues, he was talking about A.J. Hawk. Not, excuse me, I flipped that, about Hawkins. Andrew Hawkins, who I forgot won Michael Irvin's TV show.

He was second. He was second? So it was only one season? Okay, because I thought he wanted it. They said he won it. So the guy who's now host CBS News in the mornings was a slot receiver in the NFL for several years. But what Michael Irvin TV show?

The Fourth and Long that Jesse Holly came from. He was on the Jesse Holly show? Yeah, AJ Hawkins finished his second on that show. He was on the Bengals for a long time. So this guy just keeps Pac-Man's like, yeah, and then Hawk. The entire time Edelman thinks he's talking about AJ Hawk. All right. Three, four-minute conversation until Edelman goes,

yeah, and his dad was a wrestler. and Pac-Man is like, Hawk, what's what you mean? Dad, a wrestler. He's like, the little guy, that's what's happening on this podcast. All right. It's just BS.

But the reason I'm playing it for you is because your favorite quarterback came up and he came up a lot. Because Pac-Man was on the mid-2010s Bingles teams that had a lot of talent and they had Andy Dalton. Okay, you said favorite quarterback. I'm like, who's he talking about here?

So this is... On a Baker? This is how they start, just going to... through the roster of all the weapons they had. You had Joan? There's one thing that's on there. They've listed the whole list. It's A.J. Green.

It's, it's Hawk. It's the running back they had. Bernard. Giovani Bernard. Yeah. They get through the whole list, but he'd already listed Dolk. You had Joan? There's one thing that's on there that fuck this up.

One thing? Yeah. What do you think, Will's? Let me see. Fucking quarterback. He just came out and said it. Red and right. He says a red rifle.

Hey, the red rifle. Red rifle. Man. Could not take the pressure, bro. He looked good in the regular season, though. He did. When that pressure get on him. He always had good numbers?

Look at the receivers he had. Okay, so Pac-Man doesn't care. Sometime during that season, Dalton got hurt, and A.J. McCarran came in and played pretty well. But they went back to Dalton. How do you think Pac-Man feels about that? Now, why couldn't these teams? get over the hump red rifle you know what red rifle was what's our podcast name games with names geez no what packs oh politely raw yeah politely raw that's true

that's politely raw for you that's politely raw i was slow on the uptake there sorry i was trying to think about it bro we should have like even even 14 when we had uh uh what's the name from alabama oh uh not mccaron mccaron Yes. When Andy got hurt, we should have just stuck with McCarran. He never went back to Andy. Hindi still. I think he's running from office now. Can you believe that?

Unbelievable. Yeah, okay. So, like I said, that goes on for quite a while. I've never been a fan. Now they're getting into a playoff game. I think they lost to the Patriots, so they're going through their matchup. And Dalton through one of what he used to do several of Red Zone Interception. He lost every playoff game he was ever in.

Yeah, and he did a lot of Patriots. in the red zone too. Because that's the thing is like, you got AJ Green. How do you? So like that interception that Annie Dalton through, that's like what like every coach preaches to the quarterback. Don't do that. If you're a kid that wants to know not what not to do, go watch this.

But the thing is nowadays, everyone does it. Everyone does it now. But that like back in the day, like I remember I threw a pick like that when I was playing quarterback, the coach. He said, don't even come to the fuck. Go. Just go, go. He kicked me off the field.

It was bad, bro. Textbook bad. Then Carlos Dunlap forces a fumble in the second, which was big, since he takes over their own 30 goes down. You guys have ballplayers. We finally get some points in this game. A Mike Nugent field goal makes it 3-0. And then to avoid being shut out for the first time since 2011, Patriots get a drive going.

Stivo gets a 42-yarder, 3-3 at the half. It's an ugly grind-it-out game. Half-time, what are you guys thinking? Just keep it close? Andy don't fuck the game of I mean the defense Yeah defense has been ball enforcing

I mean it would the If you go by the drafts Keeps trying to go back away from it And he's like so what are you guys talking about What adjust Andy don't fuck the game I mean if you go by the drafts Yeah why wouldn't they push that a little more Punt punt punt punt fumble punt field goal

Why do you think A high level question just being in the NFL When there's clearly like the defense is better than the offense Or the offense is clearly better than the defense And it's like starting to cost the team games Like what's that like in the locker room is there like animosity built up or like how does that? How's a team operate that has such disparity in the types of units that are playing on the while they're playing? I don't know if I could say that I've played a team like they're just so much better than this.

I don't think no team is like that in the NFL like you might have better scheme and shit. But talent wise, if you're starting on defense or starting on offense in the NFL, you pretty much got a chance to win the game. It ain't just doubt in that they're better than us. Now, a lot of shit come down to third down. You win third downs, get the field position, do good on special teams. You give yourself a chance, you know what I mean? But I don't know. You've been on way better teams than I have.

I mean, like internally. Like, look, this year's Bengals team. I would have to do too much. He does get back into it. But it's just, yeah, it's a pure view from a guy who was in the locker room. it just sounds exactly like sports talk radio. The more you hear, like, players talk about the way they talk in the room. Like, this guy's a pussy.

Yeah. We've got to get rid of this guy. He's killing us. This guy can't take the heat. Look at his face. Like, the sort of dumb stuff we say, their teammates are looking at him. Like, I can smell it on you. Like, are they doing that with Dak?

No, dude. I can tell you. I think, I think. There's always got to be somebody that does it. Oh, yeah, well, they traded him. Micah obviously was not a fan. I think Dak might be a guy as good of a football player as I think he is. I think his reputation might even be better.

Like as a leader and as a dude and as like guys in the room will just say like I'll go, I'll do anything for this guy. Except win a playoff game. All right. Trident Access Services. Like to access the playoffs. My guy Jeremy is the owner over there. And what is it called?

It's not the preventative maintenance. Oh, the tune-up, right? Yeah. A little tune-up special. That's what I got with Trident. I'll tune you up. They found some pretty bad stuff. Did you know that?

They ended up finding, like, what's a stud? Like, apparently it's like something you're supposed to. I know it's me, but our old garage door company did not look for the stud. And it was put into that and it was falling down. And Trident caught it. Fixed it. Gave us the new bearings and all that kind of stuff too. But it was so noisy afterward.

Oh, no, no, no. It's so silent. We've had a guy from the den who came out to see a game and heard the garage door or saw the garage door, didn't really hear it. He thought he was deaf. Contacted Trident just because of how quiet my garage door was. That's amazing. Access is what they do. So it could be a garage door.

Could be a gate. That's what I did. You got a gate? With Trident Access Services. God, dude. Tennis Rose's gates. I got a gate. She's like, yeah.

Jesus. So, okay. Are gates fancy? Do you have a gate at the ranch? No, we don't have a, well, not like this. TXTridant.com. Not like this. Insulated doors.

Boy, if you had some of those this weekend, you could just hang out and sleep in the garage. To rent it out. You can rent it out for the World Cup. Instillate your garage and rent it out for the World Cup with Jeremy. Trident Access Services, veteran and first responder owned. TXTridant.com. Do you guys want to start into viewer mail and then... I do not.

I want to do the plan. What's the plan? We're going to break now. Oh, we are? Oh, okay. All right. My bad. It has taken the WMBA almost 20.

28 years to get to the point where we are now. And this year, something clicked with the WMBA. And it's because of the draft of the players that came in. It's just not Caitlin Clark. It's Reese. We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognized. And I don't think we can just pin it on one player. There has been, you know, this phrase has been couch, hasn't it?

The Caitlin Clark effect. Why do you think that has been the case? has been the case? Well, I want to be very diplomatic about this. It's just the structure of the way media plays out race. I'm going to be very honest. I feel really bad because I've seen so many players of color that are equally as talented.

And they never got the recognition that they should have. And I think right now, it is time for that to happen. So last night, we read Time magazine. where Caitlin Clark was named Athlete of the Year. Why couldn't they have put the whole WMBA on that cover and said the WMBA is the league of the year? Like they always do. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

I think it's a fair question. They could have at least put Paige Bukers on there with her. Always. Hey, look, it's comedian Jimmy Nelson. Oh, my goodness. Hello. Hey, everybody. Hey.

How are we doing? He's here at Coni Roso. Yes. The White Rock Lake location. Yeah, I live just down the road. Oh, do you really? I do. So I was on time today.

It says over there they have Pazole pizza. You ever dove off into that? Pazole pizza. I don't know what that means. Isn't that a soup? Pazole, yeah. It's like a Mexican soup. Okay, like a bread bowl?

I don't know. It's a special of the month. She lives down the soup. Street, too. I do. This is Julie. You under the weather a little bit? A little bit.

Am I, like, am I making noises? I just sound a little, uh, okay. He'll let you know about it. I just, I just hope he's okay. That's all. Yeah. Come, tail end of it. He wants me to mark your headset.

I'm going to go a little closer to you, Jay. All right. Yeah, I don't want to use his headset. That's for sure. You have a show to promote. I do. On a February 22nd, I'll be headlining Dallas Comedy Club. Ooh.

So that's a fun gig. One month from today. One month from today. on the dot. And he remembered to let us know this time. I'm doing actual comedy clubs now. That's of an improvement. It's amazing.

You must be hilarious. Oh, I got. What were we doing before? I can't wait to hear it. I was doing rooms with seats that were at restaurants and things. We're exactly known for their comments. So people were all surprised you were there. Yeah, just pop up comedy.

Okay, now they will know. Now they're fully aware. Now they're expecting comedy. doing comedy tonight. Jimmy Nelsoncom. Yeah, I went and saw him at a place in grapevine last year around Christmas, and there were definitely people there that thought they were there for something Christmas related.

Just there for, oh, there's a Christmas event. And here this guy in his potty. This guy's up here like, hey, would you suck off 90% of it? What's the deal with the Jews? What's the, what's the weirdest? I've heard of stories of people doing and having to do for four people in a seafood restaurant. Like, you ever had? God, there's so many of those of just like a weird biker bar.

And you're just like, why are we here? And there's just like three middle-aged biker dudes, which you never know the aesthetic. It's either aggressively gay or biker gang. Right. There's a lot of overlap there. And it was just three guys and like 20 comedians all doing four minutes each. It's just brutal for anybody. Nobody's listening.

And that's like half the shows you're playing here. And all of a sudden that guy, somebody. or becomes like Simon Cal. He's like the decider of if you're funny. That sounds brutal. Jimmy Nelsoncom.com. He'll also join us, Lord willing, for the Super Bowl stream.

We're going to announce one part of our... That's right. We have another tentative guest that's... Could be shaky, but we're not ready to announce it just yet. Right. Okay, one month from today. And that's how we get tickets. Jimmy Nelson Comedy.com or go to dallascomedyclub.com.

Okay. Who else is on the bill? It's going to be Kenny Lee opening. Not Kenny Lee. How'd you get Kenny Lee? Man, you just call him. It's crazy. Oh, okay.

No, he's a local guy. He's very funny. And then Scott Crisp will be opening as well. Okay, cool. A friend of the show. We know Scott very well. You want to promote your podcast, so you're not really that interested in that. Oddball history.

Yeah. Thank you, Dan. With Jimmy and Scott Crisp. Also, if you want to go back. Well, best of. Look at the sub-a-thon on our YouTube page. A lot of Jimmy, a lot of Scott on there as well. There would be no sub-a-thon without Jimmy and Scott.

It would have burned down. Okay, since you admonished me before the break, can I do viewer mail now or? You may. Did you know this is brought to us by Fairleast.org? Why has Jimmy never done? a comedy set at Fairlease.org.

Because there's no physical location. What's he supposed to do? Do it at Web 3.0? Can he do it in the cloud? Well, that'd be a black mirror, right? We just uploaded Jimmy's aura into the cloud. But only at Fairlease.org.

To entertain people while they're kind of browsing around. Yeah. And do you know that they do have some limitations at Fairleast.org? Your limit is your imagination. Whatever Whatever vehicle you might be thinking of They can get it for you

Yep At fairlease.org at a wonderful, wonderful price A very fair price Click request a quote And then select the dumb zone From the drop-down menu there You don't quit click demand a quote Just request it. Don't be an asshole

Yeah, you're cordial And tell them Jimmy Nelson since you're. shit. Yeah, that's right. Tell them jimmie nelsoncom. Yeah, they're great. They will, uh, we know some people who say this is such a good deal. They'll buy them out of their D&M lease.

So, uh, fairlease. org. You want to go first? Go ahead. Uh, well, we had a couple people follow up on physicals. Dan got a physical last week. Oh, nice. The, uh, the over 50 one.

Oh, yeah. The turn your head and cough and Turn your head and cough. Is this the butthole one too? This is the butthole one. Nice. You don't have to do that, right, Julie? Ladies. I think it's a prostate thing, right?

It's an add-on. No comment. No, we don't do a butthole. Dude, just men. What's a prostate? Dude, it's the thing his finger was in. Yeah. But is it just men?

He just got so excited asking you that question. What's a prostate? Hold on, though. I don't think, hold on. I don't think this is the worst question. Ladies have bottoms, but. That's exactly right there. Yeah.

But also, like, Oh dear, here we go. Oh, no, no, everybody, whatever. Kegels are not just for women. Like, they can, you can contract. I'm doing them right now. I don't. That's how you have, you get your control.

Yeah. Your world famous control from that. So I've been led to believe that your prostate is somehow connected to that. Like that whole down there thing. So it would make sense if women can do that same like contraction expanding thing. I don't understand why they don't. Because your prostate doesn't just make men. They can make it breathe.

They can make it breathe. I mean, I admittedly don't really know what it is either. This is why we shouldn't have a football coach is teaching health classes. Yeah, seriously, that's what this is all about. Is it not like you're, you know. Coach Roth was an idiot. Not balls related? Right?

No one knows. The thing about the prostate, it's one of the big mysteries. It's a mystery. Oh, this is, apparently the women's prostate is their Paul Skeens gland. Do you have something called a Paul Skeens gland? It's not a Paul Skeens. What is it called? Just the skeins, right?

Oh, okay, well, is that what that is? I don't, you're asking me really hard questions about anatomy. You're a lady who had cancer. I feel like I can ask you a question. I had cancer. I didn't, like, I was busy fighting cancer, not learning about everything going on inside of my body and what they're called. Fair.

Yeah. Fair. Right? But I think the question is, it doesn't make sense that they don't have to get their butts checked. I know. There's butts. Why do you want us to get our butts checked so much? I want you to live.

I want you to live. It's your safety. We have all this boob stuff going on that y'all don't have to worry about. That's true. That is true. I should play my ad story. Clayton said it. Ask, boy, what's his black afternoon talk show host?

He got breast cancer. Montel. Oh, damn. Kamala's ex? It's true. Oh, wow. They dated. What a power couple.

Really? Yeah. But she's like, I don't want to deal with this cancer thing. Oh. Kind of like a, is that a Strom Thurman? There's some other politician that left his life. That was New Gingrich at the bedside. Old New D.G.

Name the politician. Anyway, back to my physical. Yeah, so the first thing you guys said is turn your head and cough. Garrett, who is a doctor and contacts the show quite a bit, said, went to medical school, learned that I heard. when someone's intestines pushes through the abdominal wall. Commonplace this occurs where the balls connect to the rest of the body. There's a hernia.

You can feel it. Push out when the person coughs. Teaching him the procedure, he said, I had one burning question to ask our professor. This is a medical student who is now a doctor. His question was, why does the patient have to turn their head to cough? And everyone laughed. The professor said, so that the patient doesn't cough in your face. Oh.

Oh. It's really pretty simple. Wow. Just one shameful. That's what I... That's amazing. I was wondering. Yeah.

Yeah, well... Just have them don't do it. You'll figure it out. How many times do you do that? Turn your head and cough. You're like, oh, okay. It must be the... Yeah.

Yeah. I prefer the eye contact. Michael gives us an anchor word. Consumit. Professional. Yeah. Consumet professional. Yeah.

And then he taxed it on with PS, more J.K. Dobbins. That's from Michael. Hey, buddy. He's a miracle, baby. He's coming back. This weekend? He's in this weekend. I did a lot of digging on the Broncos' offense over the past couple days.

What's the number at now? We should look right now. Because Blake got it at five and a half. Five. It's moving that way? I got it at five. Oh, at five. Okay.

What are we thinking? It's supposed to move the other way, right? It's four and a half. dude. It's not. Stidim time. Peyton backup quarterbacks and, of course, J.K. Dobbins, who was not aborted.

Drop Beth emailed a bad bit. She says, small talk claiming locals shop like idiots before a winter storm. That's a bad bit. But we did it to start the show. One, it's tired, also seems unwarranted. Delete that. part. This boils down to the same reason we have to close schools. People aren't heading to the

grocery store with ice on the road, so all the shopping that would have been spread across five days is concentrated into two, which means less items are restocked. For the most part, no one is panicking and buying too much bread. People need to get new material. Yeah, I'm going to disagree with that, Beth. I think people are panicking. I think people are buying two, three big packs of toilet paper or whatever because there's going to be a storm this weekend. This is going to be icy for 18 hours. Right.

Yeah, it's, it is annoying to hear about, but also, like, yeah, the produce, if you're going to be at home for four or five days and you buy produce every couple days, go load up. She sent another one real quick. Do you have the image of the waiting room? She said she was at her plastic surgeon getting her new material worked on. I don't know if you can zoom in on that photo or not. Probably not.

She had cancer as well and got new boobs. Oh, sweet. Well, that in a moment, viewer mail. But she observes someone putting their feet up on the, putting their feet up on the couch in a waiting room. I mean, how long? That seems so far. How long was the wait?

No, I don't know, man. I like that. I mean, 20 minutes plus, put your feet up. Get comfortable. That's on them at that point. 15 minutes past your appointment. time rolls off. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. You're kind of moving in. Yeah. That's a good point from a it's their fault thing. But I just, dude, I would be very upset if I saw someone putting their feet on a public sofa like that. That's my bad bit.

I'd kick their ass. Yeah, I know. Right there. What do you choose is the subject line. Dear Uncle Luter of the Pooter. Please help me settle an argument. Who would you expect to give better food recommendations? A fat guy or a skinny guy?

The fat guy clearly likes to eat, but he may just like to eat everything. The skinny guy might not have as much experience eating, but he may only eat the good stuff. I personally take the skinny guy's recommendation. He's not wasting his time on crappy food. If I want to go out for a drink, I'm not asking the alcoholic for a bar recommendation. He'll drink anywhere. I'll hang up and listen from Michael Tank. P.S. Ice killed Steve McNair.

I don't know what that means. Yeah, I don't either, but I like it. Had Steve McNair dead? Steve McNair had his head blown off by a shotgun, I think, right, with the woman that he was... Oh, did Steve McNair do it? He was dating a woman who was foreign, and maybe that's where the ice part comes in. She was like Persian or something. Who killed who, though?

T.C. just... She killed him. She killed him and then killed herself. Layed herself like on it. She's like I want to, she mapped out the angles and everything. Kind of like one day doors will do. She had that kind of. Yes.

3D technology so that when she shot herself, she would fall on him or something like that. Yeah. So they would die in each other's arms. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, she was young. Oh, that's problematic. She was young, but not illegal young.

Yeah. I'm sure they met when they were 18. Yeah. She was finally legal. Yeah. Do you like that? that is a movie title? Finally.

As if you've been kind of, wait. The Bill Belichick story. Not that far off. Boy, let's see. I got one for Blake to listen to. Dan just wanted to clarify. We didn't even really answer the question. Oh, where were you?

Fat guy or skinny guy? The question. I don't know that there's a great answer, but it's one of us. It's not in the middle. It's either him or me. You guys are not. Clayton, fat guy. Yeah.

Jake, skinny guy. He says I'm a fat guy stuck in a skinny guy's body. I eat with the big men. I would go fat because they've had more food over their life, right? Don't you want the person with more experience? But also, like, they're also just not working any of it or as much of it off, right? Do you want to marry the porn star or do you want to marry Julian? Now we're confusing hypotheticals.

Don't bring me into this. Pick the porn star. I just feel a little bit disrespectful because in this scenario, I'm not getting to be a porn star, and I bought an Arab ice cream cake on the way home on Saturday night and ate the whole thing in my car. That feels like the pro. I'm the pro.

Speaking of porn stars, my wife was not impressed during the college football playoff game. The camera zoom, and I went, that's a bell of danger. Yeah. Who's that? Like, who's that? Well, why do you know that? She's a big Miami fan apparently. Yeah.

You can go. past a crowd and I'll just go, oh, there's a porn. And you know who else is thinking that? The Canber guy. He's like, oh, just a shot of the crowd. Oh, another shot of the crowd. Would you be upset, Julie, if your husband could just name a porn story? I mean, probably.

Like, it'd just be so out of character at this point. It'd be very strange. It'd be very weird. So I'd be like, what else are you hiding? Like, what have you been hiding this whole time? Very Tiger Woodsy. Right. Like, at least you're out in the open with your porn obsession.

It helps. Is you talking to me? That's a plus for you, yeah. So I can tell this to my wife? Your husband's told me he's almost exclusively an amateur guy, so none of those would have to be. He has not. You wouldn't know their name.

The stuff he sends me. Oh, my God. You'll have a secret porn group chat. Hey, Dan, I just want to clarify some misleading information that Blake prescribed to the Halo novellas. You were talking about your son. Yeah. wants to read a book about Halo.

Yeah. He says the first Halo book was published in conjunction with Halo, Combat Evolved Not Based on it. Taking the perspective of the Master Chief in his early years and before his augmentation acting as a prequel to the game. What are we doing? The following book, Halo, The Flood, was based directly on the first game written from Chief's perspective.

If he's going to be Halo guy, let's get our facts straight. I've been saying, duh, I've been saying that all along, dude. You are a posier. Preston is ripping you. How does this view of fake South Park, man? Everybody wants to read Halo books until they get pressed on how many they read. Incorrect information, and that bothers me, because I was listening to you the other day. I ordered a bunch of books.

Send me the link to that guy's podcast. I'll listen to it. Oh, fantastic. We like it. We had an in-person viewer mail. This is for Jake. Oh, cool. Good dude Patrick brought you a shirt

He thought you might like it Do you have the glass drop or is that mine? This is a T-shirt Featuring or representing One of my favorite local Advertisers commercials, you'll see them on a Bally Sports It's builder's surplus, yih-ha! Wow, there we go.

Break the glass, baby. I bought some doors from them in the spring. Now, next time. You know where to go. That's true. Right. I bet you it took many days. Forever. Not one.

Gummy thought, from Joey. Why would Satan... Oh, dear. Why would Satan punish people in hell for disobeying the same God that he disobeyed? Maybe that's the lie of God. Hell's actually fun. And you want to be sent there. Yeah, I mean, when they first start teaching you about it, you're like...

Why wouldn't he make it fun? Like, oh, wait, you're being sent here because... they want you to have a bad time. I'm not going to just do what they want. I don't like them. I hate them. No, it was a tough sell at youth group when they're like, you want to get to salvation with all these people.

I'm like, I don't. These are the kids who suck. I don't want to be up there with them at all. I have a gummy thought kind of related to the Halo book one because I wouldn't say that my four-year-old could read, but I'm reading to him. like an audiobook would. So is that a point for Dan?

Right. Is it a book? Can Brooks say in the end, I read a book? No. I've read a book. I read it to him. He listened real good. I'm counting it.

This goes back to Dan says audio book is not reading. You're not a reader. Well, I actually read a book that Jimmy wrote with Scott. Yeah? I think that was a podcast. No, I listened. I listened. You absorb the information.

For like three hour, I read three different books. Yeah, I've read a lot on you too. I kind of agree with Dan on this one. Like, I feel... People are coming around. Yeah, you're just sitting there doing nothing and it's in your ears. You're consuming the information that someone else wrote out as a book. This is insane.

So someone's like, oh, I'm a really big reader and they just sit there and listen all day. That doesn't... Yeah. Ask them about the book. Do they know about the book? It doesn't make sense. I watched a book last night on HBO. Right.

I have one subject line, gifting your wife new milk cannons. Oh, dear. Okay. All right. Okay. Last week you were talking through giving your wife plastic surgery as a gift. As one will. It's a tough sell.

Yeah. I was asking, yes, can you give your wife new boots? Like, where does it fit with, like, mop? Does, don't, gym membership? A lot of ladies will tell you they didn't do it. for men. They did it to their own confidence. Yeah. So why not give it to them? So this guy's

in that spot. Get a gym membership and a labiaplasty and call it summer. This is from Davis who says, yes, it is nerve-wracking. My wife and I usually do small gifts. I realized about a week before her 40th, I didn't have anything for her.

She had talked off and on for a few years about getting them done after four kids and getting older and all that, but she never pulled the trigger. So spur of the moment, I decided screw it. I'll set an appointment for her. I call the plastic surgeon's office, just assuming I'd set an appointment, that would be it. The 65-ish-year-old female receptionist had way more questions than needed, way more detail on what the procedure would be than I was prepared for. It was awkward and I uttered a different version of the phrase, I swear I'm not making her do this. She said she wants to multiple times. It felt awkward.

Presenting it to her the confirmation of the appointment as her present on her 40th birthday It all worked out in the end though. She was happy and it was some of the best money that's been spent. In his opinion. Addendum to an email that's probably too long for you to have read already. I did give a used exercise bike to a serious girlfriend while poor and in college. Turns out she did not want that as a present. It didn't go as well from Davis.

Yeah. I mean, that makes sense. I mean, I'm not saying breast augmentation is an easy surgery, but it's a lot easier than having to hop on a stationary bike and actually use it every day. It's a quick fix. Yeah, I think in both cases, if the wife has made it known that that's what she wants,

then go for it. If she hasn't said a word about ever getting a boob job and you're just like, here you go, I made you a confirmation to get a boob job, then that wouldn't go over very well. What if it was a bo-go? Buy one, get one for a group? Just one boob?

I think they all are. Like, you pay for one, you get two. Oh. Or you pay for two. I think the weird offer they have is what they do, buy two, get one. And you have to decide if you want the three boob. What about the... Get one?

Certainly some cancer is just on one boob, right? It's not always a double mastectomy. Okay. Right? But I think they want them to match. Yeah. And they don't want it to spread. It's just a cautionary.

They do just take them out. Yeah. It's up to the person with breast. cancer if they want both boobs removed or just the one the cancer boob. And then do you put it like next to the deer's head on the wall? No. In fact, you never get to see it ever again. What?

They show Tom Green is bowl. Well. You only had one. Same? That happened with you? No. That didn't happen with me. So the person that I was talking to about this, the nurse or the doctor, both of them

were like, we look at them as a pair. If you do one thing to one, you do it to both. and that's usually what people prefer. That's how teams are supposed to work. You split your time. You're like, I've been on the right one too long. I should get. Yeah, but it could it be like a divorce where this, now this one has a new mate, a friend.

Yeah. Yeah, and I think the weirdest part is like if this guy goes, he has like some level of ownership in this process. Does he get more say? Of the other. But this one's all saggy now. No, no, what I mean is if she just goes in and it does it. If your wife just says, I want to go in and do this. Oh, okay.

You offering your opinion on it, it's probably not going to go over all that well. It's just sitting in the corner. But if you go make the appointment for her, yeah, can you just keep the thumb up? Going up. They hand you the slider. I don't know. Because the worst would be like to be underwhelmed. Well, the making the appointment confirmation to me was a little awkward.

Like you can just say, hey, honey, I decided that let's go for it. We can pay for it, whatever. But to be like, I've already confirmed your appointment and it's on this date and time. Like that's just a little weird. Like your frozen chicken that shrinks when you cook it? I don't know. Look bigger. Tell the receptionist that she's a trad wife and you make her appointments for her.

Did you ever hear those breast cancer ads that we found? I don't think I did. You think I should play that for her? I don't remember it. I think you should. So I was watching football. I think this is. Honestly, we.

Okay, so this is an ad. There it is. Thurro. Yeah, yeah. So what it is is they show a woman and then they pan down to her breasts. And she says, these are my breasts. Oh, okay. We've been through a lot together. You know, from parenting to having kids to gravity,

ha-ha. And they just show, they pan down to her breasts like the whole time. Amaya. It's a treatment. And these are my breasts? Honestly, we've had a complicated relationship. I've tried sports bras. Underwire bras Minimizer bras And then out of nowhere

I found a lump Breast cancer Then losing the breast So yeah it's very sad That was going though Up till then super positive You're looking for minimizers Right right

Now we're talking Dan's on board Yeah And so that's the first one I saw Is that God saying you want a minimizer here right I'll take them all oh

the ultimate minimizer it's right metastization yeah but so you familiar with ads like that it's like oh yeah right this is another one

I'm Erica and these are my breasts we've changed a lot through the years from dating to breastfeeding and gravity and another change breast cancer I'm Erica and these

and then so this is a I'm Erica and these are my breasts. We've been through a lot together, from dating to breastfeeding and gravity. When my husband and I would go to swingers parties, everyone would yell, hey, there's Erica with the Mondo-banging tits. And then another change, a lump, breast cancer. As part of my treatment, the doctor and I chose to ask. That felt.

That felt too much. Who made that one? Erica. It's Erica. Who made that one? Yeah, no, those are weird. Really tasteless at the end of the day. You should submit it to NBC and Fox.

Yeah. Play during commercials. Let's see. What's this one? I'm Maya, and these are my breasts, my tits, my tautas, my bazookas, my missiles. They've served me well over the years. I used to love when my husband would play with them. Stop!

I would spit on them a little bit, lovingly. And then, out of nowhere. I found a lump. Breast cancer. Why am I laughing? Losing the breasts. Because it's a serious topic and it helps to laugh. All right.

That's true. It helps to laugh a little bit. Thanks for the shirt, Patrick. Are we done with you or mail? That's all I have. I mean, we could do more, but it's kind of sportsy stuff. We could save it for a moment. Yeah, so.

If you're on a GLP-1, you're supposed to have a lot of protein. So they're trying to say without saying, if you're getting the shot, come eat here. Which, you know what? Is just further evidence that the entire economy, everything is geared towards women. I know. So tough. I've been asking for them to make protein everything since I was 15 trying to put on muscle. right you can't i'm over here dumping protein powder on cereal the women get too skinny and all of a

Do you remember, Julie, from the old radio days, the acronym? What does that spell out? I swear I created it.

The DumbZo presents Today and Twitter. You do know what the acronym is? Yeah. Do you have anything, Jake, for Today and Twitter today? Not only do I not have anything. Oh, I thought you did. I'm really excited about this one. It's controversial.

I saw what you put in there. Okay, I got a couple. Okay. One is sportsy. I was going to put the one of them in the news, but yeah. Do you want me to save the sportsy one? No, no, no. Because that's this one.

Go forth. Can we do the sports one first, the Baker-Mayfield one? Yeah. Because Baker is getting into it. Listen. I guess, is this a writer that he got into it with? Yeah, it's, yes. Yes.

I don't know who he's a writer for, to what degree of. Probably an Atlanta Falcons beat writer of something. I'm from the journal constitution. He writes Falcons, Kevin Stefansky, had a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland. Baker, Mayfield, and Deshawn Watson failed, which started a chain reaction to 11 other starters. Quarterback Shador Sanders closed out last season with seven starts. Now, I'm not here to defend Baker yet. That isn't oddly, like Baker and Deshaun started the chain reaction to 11 other

starters. It feels like... Get a book. Yeah. They're going on. The 14 before them, too. Yeah, anyway. He said, then Baker is on the internet all the time, right?

And, uh, quote tweets that. Failed as quite the reach pal. You pal to. If you're going to pal someone. Yeah. Still waiting on a text or call from him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. So he's now responding to this as if it was Stefanski who wrote it.

Yeah. And maybe, you know. That's the Baker way. Listen, I know he's got like, he got back into religion, got recommitted to his wife, et cetera. Oh, he did? Oh, yeah. He talks about a lot. The cheeseke factory?

Oh, yeah. Big time. They got a whole, and whatever. It's good for him. Baker, make a whoopsy? Yeah, oh, big time. But he's still Baker Mayfield, dude. You can't take the boy out of the country, but not the country out of the boy.

He's going to talk shit, whether he's a buck or whatever. But that's fun. Nice little match up there. You're not aware of the Cheesecake Factory Baker Mayfield story? No. Oh, Dan's excited now. Well, it's the... To tell.

Yeah. He got a... Well, he was like... He wasn't... He might have been married, but he wasn't... It was very early on. I don't recall. But he was definitely like trying to hook up with girls.

on just Snapchat, whatever. And, yeah, he just, he hit up a girl and was like, hey, you know, I'd be looking for a little little oral perhaps. If you meet me behind this cheesecake parking lot, I'll be parked there. Wow. And she, big Browns fan. Did she do it? Yeah.

God bless her. Not only did she do it. What a terrible salespip. She then went on basically like Cleveland's version of Howard Stern, actually worse. Like it's just these horn dogs. Yeah. Okay, what happened next? They wanted every detail.

Yeah, and she's like 20. And we actually hit her up, didn't we? Yeah, we hit her up to try to book her super early on. She wanted money. So? And it was like, you're zero of the show. And I was like, fuck dad. If he didn't pay for it, I'm not paying for it.

What, yeah, God bless him. I would love to find this for you. Oh, here comes blaming the update. But the new Apple Update is just killing me. Such an old man thing to say. It'll set him back. I'd rather him have. I'd literally rather him have the flute than his computer get new sick for three or four

because it throws him off. I'm extremely excited that when I take a screenshot now with my phone, I can press four different buttons to save it instead of it just automatically saving it. I love that. Because it helps the dexterity and helps me get the blood flowing. So I'm really glad that it makes, like it's making me think a lot more.

Did it? Without you approving? No, I approved it because I'm an idiot. And because they make you at some point. Yeah, at some point you can't fight it forever. You can fight it for a little while, but at some point they'll be like, well, these apps won't work with this anymore.

World War II in 1998. Yeah, you find me on the island. No, it's over, dude. I'll never give up. for a while. And then I find, he was like, okay,

come see me. So I got my car and I drove all the way to West Lake and it was like behind Cheesecake Factory in some weird development parking lot.

And so he texted me when I was on my way there, he's like, you have to leave your phone in the car. And I was like, like I was kind of sketched

I was like, if this really isn't him I have to leave my phone in the car. You're going to be raped and murder. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I love those guys. Turn the car off. walked in his big like SUV like tinted windows and everything and I like just opened the door and looked and I was like oh this is really him and I was like freaking out a little bit and then we're from there. She went from there. You get into the SUV. You get in the front, the back?

Where are you? I got in the front. Yeah. And so he's like, okay, we're going to do this or not? Yeah. That is it. Basically. That's it.

We're going to do this? Well, he had like some small talk like, oh, like, how long did it take you to get here? And like whenever I left, he was like drive safe. And then after I left, he texted me. He's like, you know, like, you're actually a really cool person. He's like, but you just can't say anything like it'll ruin my career. And at that point, I was just like, yeah, like, I'm not the type of person to, like, say anything or do anything. And then a few months, like, past it, like, or a few weeks where I haven't talked to him.

So I was like, I literally forgot about him. and I get blocked on Twitter, so. That was a mistake. That's a mistake. And then what do you do? I mean, a little small talk. What is he doing? He just whips it out?

No, well, we got in the backseat. Then he did. Okay. So he whips it out. You slob the knelt? Baker? Uh-huh. Did he mount you?

All right. I want to hear the jewel part. Oh, go ahead. Oral. Oral. Did he give to? No, he just received the oral. Jeez.

That's what happens when you. you're rich and famous. You can just get to the back of the cheesecake factory. What a gentleman. Did even buy you a piece of cheesecake after? No, actually. Nothing. What a guy.

All right. So did you guys kiss too or just go right to that? Just small talking. Right to it. Whenever I left, I was literally like, you know, go to do business with you. Yeah. And he was like, don't say that. And I was like, I'm just.

kidding. And then I lost my jewel in his car and we had to look for that for a few minutes. And then he's like, okay, well, drive safe. I'm like, all right, see ya. Drive safe. Dapped him up. Sweet dick, bro. I ripped my jewel.

That's good stuff. That's the worst. It's good stuff. One more today and Twitter for you. This was from the telegraph. Okay. Who say. Group chats everywhere have been on fire.

with this video over the last three days. A group of Spanish carnival performers have paid tribute to Stephen Hawking in what may be the most eccentric homage the physicist has ever received. So what it is, it's basically a running of the bulls type thing, but it's all people dressed as Stephen Hawking in some kind of a weird, like,

they're all in a wheelchair, but then they're kind of sitting they're all shriveled looking. Yeah. Yeah, they look exactly vegetative. Right, but there's... They have the same suit he would always wear on. There's 50 of them, and they're coming down like a cobblestone street.

Like, again, it looks like it's... Dude, it's unbelievable. Pompeii or something. It's unbelievable because, right, like, basically this would be like if I was like, hey, I just... I had a family member who had Down syndrome, and to honor them, this is what I do every year. I get 30 of my friends, and we just all... act like we have Down syndrome and do a parade. What did you do on MLK Day?

Yeah, no, I had some of the paint still on. But yeah, it's like, how do you just get to pretend to be? I mean, if they do the, or they think they're all doing the voice at the same time? It is just, oh, it's just robot babble. And so are there bowls involved? No, no, no, I say like. Yeah, they let the rules go afterward. That's like the rodeo.

The fakes that even Hawkins are. the bulls, but now if you're saying, let's combine these events and really turn it up, I like that. Yeah, not so funny pretended to be paralyzed now, isn't it? You've got a bullhorn through your spine. There are the bulls and the Norwegian teenagers or the runners. Dude. That was an Epstein Island.

Yeah, yeah. Hawking was on the island. He was. They had a little sub for him. That was today and Twitter. That was today and Twitter. So are you working this weekend? Fireman Friday

It's going to suck Whenever it storms like that Do you have lots of calls? Oh yeah People just drive all the time Yeah And they're just playing fucking bumper cars In the highway

And Snowmageddon was crazy Just 35 shut down How far in were you at that point? Like what did you join? 2017 Okay so you had a few years But still The one great thing is

You know your electricity won't go off That's very true I don't know why still Well I mean Are there special? Oh, I like the station. That's what I mean. Yeah, no, we have a generator.

Okay. We have a diesel generator. Yeah, we've just always heard the hospital grid and the firefighters grid. Yeah, if you live near the hospital, you will not lose your electricity. Well, when all the power went out, my whole neighborhood, my street was good. Like, is there a hospital nearby? Oh, really? Yeah.

Just somehow. So you're smiled upon. Smiled upon by God's good graces. All right. I had a buddy run into Jimmy. I hope this is not a violation. on the Christmas train. Oh, man, what a nightmare.

He was a nice guy. Your friend was a nice guy. Okay, the Christmas train in Grapevine, which the tickets go on sale probably June 15th and sell out June 16th. Yeah, dude, it's insane. And they've added like way more, but there's only one train. So people come from all over. Polar Express thing, right?

Yeah, the Polar Express. Christmas train. It's words with Jake. Well, I mean, is there a lot of other, Are there a lot of other of these in the Metroplex? It is a little hard with Jake. You can admit it. You can admit it.

It's, it is, I thought it was a giant beating last time because you have to wait for like an hour before you get on. Even though like you're there at the time that they told you, you have to wait in windy, which you know how kids love those. Oh, yeah. And hurting large groups of people on the trains can be very triggering for some folks. Yeah, I guess probably not the type that are showing up to that event. I guess it would be a different event. Maybe. Yeah.

Like meltdown? No, he just didn't give a shit. Yeah. 16 months old. My, waste of time. My nephew was like three. He had a meltdown.

And then there's just like six adults and like these two little kids. One's too young. One's having a meltdown. Like, why are we here? And you're not enjoying it. And this elf's trying to do bits with me. And I'm just like, shut the fuck up. You're in jammies, right?

And then the train ride. And you're a jammy. You're just going through like the warehouse district. Yeah. It's not like a cool view. There's American Airlines hangar. Yeah. Over there.

And then they just drive real slow. Just like in the North Pole. That just tells you how insane moms are. Like, why do we... It's like 40 bucks or something. Why do we need to like all get on waiting list? 40 bucks for a 16 month old? It sucks.

Yeah. Like per person. It sucks. It's like a mom battle to get those tickets. But it's like why? It's not even that cool. I don't know. I've done it.

I mean, I'm stupid mom too. Yeah, we've got a Santa picture. He's screamed crying. You kind of want that for the first one. Yeah, yeah, you pinch him, make them, yeah. Pepper spray him, like, come on, man. Didn't you yell at your kid for crying? I didn't yell at him.

Yeah, you did. That's the way Brandon Adler. I didn't know. You're exaggerate. No, I didn't do that. Blake doesn't play, dude. Go pick out your own switch. For being mean to Santa.

Listen, we're not all perfect parents, but yeah, the first time around when they upcharge you to 200 bucks for this stupid picture, then your kid doesn't even smile. It's a huge waste of money. Dude, that has gotten so out of control of the money on that. Yeah. Oh, you don't. And Santa's not helping.

You don't want the full package? So that's how much you care about your kid. He's supposed to help me. Give a little, you know. Like Santa, what should I do here? Do you have any tips? Help sell it. Something.

Nicotine is an addictive chemical. It's beautiful. I forgot the I forgot the disclaimer. No, you didn't. You did. So I want to start with fire news because this was on a couple of the websites this morning.

A 96-year-old woman was saved in useless, Texas. You can say that. I can't. And she was saved, they say, not just because of the bravery of our fine young men and women, But because...

All right, fuck you guys. But because of... Live audience my ass. A high-tech drone coordination between police and fire departments. That actually seemed pretty cool. You've heard about this on? This was on fire.com.

We have video that. It's the Qualist drone. They actually use the Qualist drone. That's right. The Qualist drone. They coordinated between firefighters. You can see it right there. Police.

Do you know we now have a Qualis drone? There's a live drone shot. Oh, nice. Just like the Good Year Blimp. would be over big events. So we're having a big event here. Qualistro. It does seem weird that live drone shot

kind of looks like a 9 a.m. parking lot filled up. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't see a single parking spot open. Okay. So the way that they say this helped is they show up at the apartment around 1 a.m. Last night or the night before.

But the drone had gone out first. Right when they get the call, there's a drone nearby. and one of their drone warehouse is it flies over, assesses the damage, and can tell that the second floor is already way high. So they know when they get there to make a second... The cool thing about it was before they arrived.

Yeah, why don't you ask him to? So the drone gets there, and before they arrive, the battalion chief can go put a second alarm on this. So they get more companies coming immediately. This thing's coming out the roof. They have, like, positions of people. and they were saying like, so that meant they could go get the lady first, knowing they had backup coming and focus on that first,

rather than like putting the whole fire out first. Are those drones taking jobs? Yeah. From somebody that would have been doing out of them. Unless you know anyone that can fly. I don't know. I don't. We have some of them, but we suck at it.

So. You have drones? Dallas has drones. But you're just not, you don't have anyone there that can operate it? No, we're not allowed. to. It's like I think the police can and T.C., you're looking for a job? East drone guy, yeah. Dude, yeah. I mean, I feel like this is how it works. Like, you get Chloe. It's not like

Chloe was out there fighting bad guys, but you've got to get somebody. But can we get T.C. sworn in as an official fireman? Oh, yeah. And we can pull some strings. All right. Well, I actually think that stories like this, while cool, are clearly big drone propaganda. Because I don't want them anywhere near me. I don't want them deliver my groceries. I don't want them observing me trying to sell drugs on the street.

And every story they do like this where they're like, a drone save this old lady, you know, or a drone got this football call right, all the things we really care about. Right. I don't think we can just let them win that. So you feel that they're hiding the stories. Like they never had Fox's greatest police escapes.

Right. All the police chases showed at the end. They caught him. I was molested by a waymo. Right. Yeah, you're not going to hear it. You don't hear about it. They covered it up.

So the Ted Cruz curse, it typically applies to sports teams. This is probably just bad luck, but somebody photographed him on a plane out of town yesterday. Laguna Beach. Laguna Beach. Oh, Cancun Ted. Ted Cruz has become a, I don't know if it's a meme. For whatever, I texted Jay this morning. Jay Jrier, who owns Kanye Roso, where we are at today.

Men of industry, CEOs, just to see if he would be out here. And he said, no, he's in California, but I swear I didn't pull a Ted Cruz. I had this planned, blah, blah, blah. I used it in the title of our mom game episode this week, because Emily's in Mexico. I said, Emily pulled a Ted Cruz and went to Mexico. Like that's in our thing, because this is a deal, pulling a Ted Cruz. When I was younger, I pulled a Ted Cruz and my dad killed John F. Kennedy. So anyways, we don't know how bad this storm will get, but we know that Ted Cruz is on his way out of town.

That means it's going to be bad. Right. Yeah. I got to get a generator. You've been saying this for five years. I know. I'm so worried about this weekend. But it is only, like you said, 24 hours, 18 hours, whatever.

It's going to be okay. We're all going to be okay. So even if we do lose electricity, but I have, do you have a couple of external, you know, power things? I got that. Yeah, I charged them up last night. Good call. Just in case. Yeah.

Because I cannot, I don't want to live without computer. No. You know? No, of course not. You know, how do you think I feel, dude? Yeah. Got kids. I'm a dummy.

I bought a little solar panel attachment for mine. For your computer? For my little power bank. Does that work? It can't. At that small of scale? But they caught me for $70. And I thought, look, this could go forever.

That sounds insane, dude. I want to know if it works. Yeah, I'm very interested now. I do like that we're assuming the powers out that there is inclement weather. The sun's probably not shining. Yeah, that's always confused for a lot of them. Shut up, shut up. $29.99.

It's not a bad deal. Expect the worst. Dude, yeah, we have a... Mine has a, I bought a power bank thing. It's got a little windmill on it. Yeah. Got a carrier around. Water wheel.

You need a... Okay, so this is a story that, I don't know, it's been sent to me a million times as if it were Jimmy and a fire.com story. But Dan's favorite media member of all time is entering into a race for public office. She's dabbled in politics before. She is now running in the Republican primary race for an open Senate seat in Minnesota. It's Michelle Tofoya. That's right. Wow.

Very exciting. The OG, the original Madame of the sidelines. That's she has Madame field to her. Yeah. What do they call the woman at like a

madam? That's a whorehouse, right? Yeah. What do they call like a... Why do you? He works in enforcement. I thought there was another name for it.

Like, do you remember the hockey movie we watched with Rob? when he was like 16. Yeah. And he like went and lived at a house. What's it called? Oh, a billet family. Yeah, that's a family.

They had a name for it, though, because they made it seem as if it was a common thing for the mom or the matriarch to sort of break the boys in. Oh. Is this sexual? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Unlike Dan's obsession with Michelle Defoyer, which is purely political. She could break me in is what you're saying. Oh, yeah. I mean, Michelle Tofoya would crush you. She's kind of got a little bit of funny mouth. Yeah, I guess. A little Carl Mild.

That's not bad. I think she's kind of perfect. Like, she's not intimidatingly hot. She's mean-looking. Oh, yeah, and I think she's actually mean. Yeah, I've heard bad things. Yeah, she's like rooting on ice. She's got a little...

Even before that, like people who do that. She's got like a pennant. People that do that dealt with... I spent it. I knew her that dealt with her. We're like, she's a lot. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Yeah. She could be a lot for me. So, you know. She knows her way around the block. You know what I mean? Yeah. She could teach you so much. Have you saying, yes, ma'am.

She was once, she's never really run before. She was the co-chair for a governorship campaign in Minnesota. A job once held by Jesse the Body Ventura. This is a note for one person, but the feel. Blake includes a couple of other dorks, and Royce White. 5-9? No, not Royce to 5-9 from D-12. Royce White, the NBA player who like went, we used to say went crazy.

He wouldn't fly on planes. He was on the rockets for a little while. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, yeah. There's a draft pick. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and he was like a big-time prospect at one point. What party is he?

I don't know. Is he a Republican? Okay, so he was running against her. I mean, he ran for governor. He did run for governor in her race. Royce White, who won't fly in a plane. I have no update on his plane status. And there's a mental health thing, right?

Yeah, that's what he said. What else would it be? You can't just be like. He's normal. Well, yeah, I mean, you can't just be like, I don't like it. And everyone accepted. You have to. Yeah.

I found this would be an interesting story from, close by here at Garland, a couple pleaded guilty to smuggling and selling unregistered pesticides and misbranded veterinary drugs. So my first thought was, because I have a future viewer mail on this, we recently talked about how expensive your vet is. And I don't know that it's each one of ours individually, but it's exactly what you think. It's private equity. They bought up all the vet.

And Safe Space, Tucker Carlson had a guy on who's trying to, like, disrupt the pet health care space. So he's probably a vampire. But his point is just like, just look at your bills, your vet bills over the last 10 years. Nothing changed except the cost. Like, they're not getting better at it. So when I first saw this, I was like, damn, they got a vet. Drugs on the like is there a black market I could tap into? Yeah.

So that's not what this is. What this is, primarily is, juice for cocks. Got it. We're talking game day for chickens. This is cockfighting medicine. This is getting basically anabolic steroids for... Razor blades and teatting.

God, this is so garland. It really is. And by the way, and the two people, extremely Vietnamese names or I think Vietnamese It's not like It's funny because it's mostly Mexican people who are

cockfighting but they got a little Connect over here for for steroids for the chickens You ever been to one of those? Cockfight, no We've heard from a lot of listeners who have Like they grew up in the valley or they grew up somewhere Did you grow up in Garland?

Oh yeah Okay, because you speak of it with disdain Yeah, stuff like this. Like that's just You grew up around that. The big The record for the cowboy hat in downtown That's just a

That's a facade. That's not Garland. Yeah. I've always thought it was. Not too many people are like Where I'm from rules. You know, so if you're talking bad about a place, it's probably where you were from.

Yeah. You can say it about your mom. Boy, what a relationship they had running an underground steroid ring for cockfighting. Do you know that the sex was fired? The highs were high. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how the pesticide part of it works, but two and a half million dollars over five years.

Hey, bring it on. Yeah, it's good money. What's the cost plus for veterinarian drugs? Yeah, I don't really know what Cubans doing. I think I probably should know, but I don't think I understand it completely. You made the joke, so I was hoping you had more on it. Oh, no. And you don't.

The Dallas County. Three grand on a $1. CT scan for a dog not too long ago. Oh my gosh. It was a $2,400, something like that. Dude, if you would have said... Why are you doing that? A thousand.

Well, now he's gone. Oh. It's actually this one. Oh. You do have a sweet two-dog sweater on. This was a anniversary gift from my father-in-law. Oh. Now, this purchase was made after this dog was put down.

Okay. She rang a shirt with the picture of two dogs on it. And their name's embroidered. Phil and Allie. It feels like a strange power of. move from Dan. What? My father-in-law's name's Dan.

Oh, okay. So, yeah, there it is. So did he already have it? Ali is still... Allie's still kicking. Fire and away? Oh, yeah. Or just the timeline here.

Did he have it made when Phil was still alive intended to give it to you and then Phil died? Or Phil died and then he ordered the shirt. That's awesome. Yeah. That's fantastic. He knows what Phil meant to you. He knows what's going on.

But it's sweet. My wife and I have matching sweatshirts like this. He doesn't think much of you, does he? I think I like Dan a lot. Dude, he's a firefighter. That's like the easiest layup in the world. Kind of a lame gift. Oh, I mean, I like that gift.

It's so sweet. It was for our anniversary. What is Jimmy? I don't know. Like, it's not like Christmas. I feel like just before you get kids. Yeah, usually you don't get like an anniversary present. Oh, okay.

Like, why? Yeah. Because obviously if you only have, you know, dogs, that's one thing. Yeah. Do your in-laws get your own anniversary gifts? Yeah, no. November. Yeah.

This is a nice thing. November. November. And he just gave you this now. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'd like to interview Dan about it. I think it's what was going through your head here.

What's going on? I'm so starved for the idea that another, like, adult male approves of me that I would be like, Dan, this is the coolest thing. Anyone's ever given to me. Do you think I'm a man? People are going to ask you about it, though. Yeah, it's forced me in a lot of conversations about, like, yeah, this one's dead, though. Yeah.

You know, very sad. Do you want them left off the sweatshirt? Yeah, no. I mean. Every dog you've ever had? Honor is memory. I'm going to keep this and just continue adding on. My wife did, we found out we're having a second kid.

Oh! Look at that. It's just a public announcement of that right here. Yeah, I guess so. But we found out the morning after my son came down the hallway, like with the pregnancy test. And I was like, what do you got? And I was like, oh, my God, we're having a kid. And it was the day after we put the dog down.

And my wife comes out, we have a big hug. And I go, I guess we have a one in one out. policy around here. Yeah. Not very well received. It was not. Oh. Well, you should name it Phil.

There we go, Phyllis. Phyllis. Yeah. Phil. Oh, so it's a girl. The girl. Oh, Phyllis. I thought he was going to say, we found out the morning after pill doesn't work.

Yeah. Yeah. My brain went there too. Or at least I found out. She didn't know. She didn't know. Grounded up and in her coffee. Ooh.

Dallas County Commissioners Court has handed down some Good news. A guy that they executed in 1956, innocent. That was nice of him to do. I mean. Probably did some other stuff, though, knowing that guy. The family, I guess actually, you know, if they're, if this is something they wanted, no. You don't get any money?

No. You get them putting out, you know, if you were still alive, they might for time spent. No reparations. No, I don't think so. Yeah, you would think. A lot of damage done because of that. Yeah, I mean... If you didn't kill my grandpa, think of all the things.

The guy's son is still alive, and that's, he was the one who was pushing for it. But, yeah, they... Does anyone want to take a... Did anyone want to take a guess at what the crime was and who it involved? Is a black person? Well, yeah. And a white lady. Well, yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Whistled at her. Well, she was brutally attacked on her way home from work and ultimately died. So she was beat up so bad that she died. Yet the only police officer on the scene said. There's a black guy. Let's grab him.

That's what they were like. Well, I was going to say that guy. Well, look over our shoulders. No, it was the nearest black person to that kind of. I just like, this is probably him. It's that or that hits our quota. Once per remote, Dan will just go, hey, there's a black guy. when he sees one.

No, but the woman was beaten. Somebody put a rifle down. Again, she was beaten to the point of dying. So you think she was given like square, solid accounts of her accuser in the aftermath? And she couldn't talk. She died. But the cop said she said it was a black guy. So they rounded up 200 guys in Dallas County who fit the bill.

And whichever one of them failed the test of let's ask you these questions the worst. He looks nervous. Yeah, you think? Yeah, yeah. But we good? All good? Innocent? Send you an innocent gift card.

If you were pushing for your dad, if this was your quest, then what? Like, he probably paid a ton of money to... Defend. To figure this out. Got it figured out. Now what? Does he feel empty? Is he happy?

That is... Well, at least according to his comments to the news, he feels, like, great. that they can carry this forward without this weight. There was a funny note. I don't know, Phillips here, so maybe this happens all the time. It doesn't feel like it happens all the time. Phillips here? But you talking Kingston?

The DA was also, how did they state this? They used some legal term that made me think this is weird. Basically, is it the DA prosecuted it? The D at the time also took the witness stand and gave his personal belief of the man's guilt before continuing his role as the lead prosecutor on the case. So he was his prosecuting attorney and he testified against him. Like, hey, you question me now because I'm going up there. You take over.

What do you believe? I think he did it. Yeah. All right, you come back on this side, then. You swear? Yeah, yeah. So anyways, this is a, I don't know. What a shitty, like, law.

lottery draft to be the public defender. It's like, what do I have to do? Like, you have to make... We want to do a nice thing for this guy's family, but you have to be on the opposite side of it and argue that we shouldn't say he was innocent. Yeah. Yeah, what are you so hung up on?

But anyways, innocent. Here, he was. All right, there's your news. Well, the guy's innocent. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Play another breast cancer. subscribe. That was a good news. Hi, birthday. Thank you.

Do some viewer mail birthdays. This will be brought to us by Frankel and Frankel personal injury attorneys. Listen, man. It's probably bad to be Frankl's season. You're going with a listen, man? It feels like Frankl's season is upon us as car wrecks. Dangerous weather conditions, things of this nature. Call 214-888-8-8-18-2-14 or 817. Keep going.

I'm finding a couple that we're just sent in today. Tell them something else about Frankl. Julie? Have you met the Frankles? Yeah, I have. They're great. They're very kind humans. 3-3-3-3-33-33-33. Oblast been you. A lot of threes.

Traces. Yeah. They're good people. They know what they're doing. Yeah, we had a glass of wine together. No way. Not like those long-car dirt bags. This again. Cross them as far as you can throw them. That's what I always say.

I think that's fine. I don't think there's any... Whatever. Viewer mail birthdays for today. Hi folks. I don't know if this is worthy of a shout-out, but Casey Moritz and her Endicott goals will take on Curry at the Raymond J. Bork Arena Friday night.

Casey needs just nine saves to reach 1,000 for her college career. There aren't many games left, but I wanted to send a special pre-shout out to her from Jason Moritz. It's our guy. Jason does some graphics for us on DZTV. Casey once played goal for us in the Tyler Sagan Challenge. She was like nine. When we had three guys, right?

Yeah, me, you and Bob. Okay. Bob Dan, Jake. We were all skating. We had a goalie. She was, what, 14 at the time? Not even, dude. Okay.

She was young, but she was still, she was good, though. She was elite, like 10 or 11 maybe. One of my daughter's friends, she was on our softball team for a year or two. But her big thing was hockey, and she was a good hockey goalie. And so it was the three of us and Casey against Tyler Sagan. He had no goalie. Who do you think won? I think Tyler gave it to you.

Three people, we're like, there's no, I mean, we'll just pass it down the ice. it'll be easy. We're going to score a ton of goals, and it was amazing, just how much better at everything he has than us. Yeah, I haven't spent a bunch of time around Craig Ludwig, but that's the hardest I've ever seen him laugh. He was really enjoying it that day.

And Bob was like, to us, we're like, oh, he's good at hockey. Yeah. This is going to be, yeah. They need to bring Pros versus Joe's back. Oh, yeah. What a fun show. Yeah.

You all skate? Can Dan skate? I was very rusty. But I was, uh... I was, uh... I was in second place. I could tell you that after Bob. Hey.

Oh, but... I'm not laying off you right now, but... No way. Not on throwing week. I was... I was just... Oh, dude, I've been just... Seating over there.

That motherfucker. You made fun of me. Dear smearer of the smegma. I'm not gay. I'll lift this. I want to wish myself, happy 43rd birthday. I had plans to wake up my wife in a very special way, but she's in her moon phase,

and I don't like eggs for breakfast. How are we never put that together? Since Jake says he's doing this now, can he please rate my cat's name? He says my gay-ass cat's name. You didn't have to read that, but I appreciate your first instinct. What's the name?

The female is Rigby, and the male is Hamsterdam. Hamsterdam. Rigby's boring. Does anything Beatles associated? It's like, oh, what, you couldn't name them Star Wars? A little generic, but Hamsterdam is good. Anything Wire plays, I think. I think they could have gone long.

John Van Hamsterdam in order really like that. Calling Rigby a Beatles, it feels like an extreme stretch. Well, I don't know. They had an Eleanor Rigby song, but. I didn't know if that was his motivation, but this is your rating. It's not mine. What am I doing? Yeah, I don't mean, it could be Silicon Valley.

Richard is great, but you know. Right. But Rick B. I always associated with the Beatles. I'm currently the DLS Stars producer. Nice. And I hope one day to be as good as Blake. Well, let's keep dreaming, pal.

You're already there. If Jake wants an Emmy, I can gift him. mine from my ballet sports days. Hey. Anything to stop him from invading Greenland. I do need some concessions on that front. My leader is the country music Saturday fight. That was a good one.

That was a good one. Never punt. Keep cranking hog from Ryan. He is there intimating that we are currently cranking hog if you have to keep doing it. Day that ends in Y. I sign all my emails like that now. somebody will pour their heart out about like sobriety and I pour mine out back and I'm like crank's eponogdened is that that's put in there just the automatic one to my daughter's

school about absences I have yeah anyways I like profile picture on my email is the fudge sickle guy just as the coach with the chocolate fudge sickle yeah from the box I forget sometimes I'm like, oh, that's a serious email. Dear Supreme Leader King John Un, and then around the Un, he has in parentheses a C before it and then a T after it. Do you find that funny, Julie?

Kip John Coon. She's not paying attention. I am. Two glasses of wine and it's a me-mail to take care of. Just one glass. Just one glass. Yesterday was my Nolan Ryan on the Asthma. his birthday. My leaders are the jazzy Hadeo Nomo song that Jake thought was God Bless Texas.

Dan tweeting out his reflected ball sack while on the scale. Yeah. People forgot. Wait, I don't know about that. I don't want to. It's still live. He never deleted it. We found it yesterday.

Such a good Dan story, though, just from that description. Let me take a picture of my scale. Naked. Certainly my balls. never be in this titanium reflection. Oh, there they are. Oh, my gosh. Did you, like, put on social media?

It's still there. He tweeted it. We were looking at it. He's like, no way. We're like, that's your ball. That's your ass. See how they're right there beyond the ass? We'll stick out.

Oh, my God. Good leader. And Sarah Hepelah's massive rail guns, as long as she isn't talking. That feels mean. Yeah. My one birthday wish is for y'all to reveal the inside Joker's story about the woman who killed Selena. You all giggled off Mike during Why Lady and Suck for years anytime she was brought up.

You almost told it about a year ago, but then forgot. I suspect someone had some sort of pen pal relationship with her while she was in jail. I'm not certain. Punt when the head coach feels like it from Harry. Dude, there's like two times in my life T.C. He shook his head at me and said no. Like ever. And it's about the number of times Dan has.

So I don't know. It's up to you guys. The Selena thing? I trust TC on this one. Do you want me to tell it? She never shakes his head, no. I mean, yeah, if you're cool with it, I don't think it's a problem. It's interesting story.

It's probably public. I like to probably. Maybe like teasing for a later date. Everyone will have to tune in. I mean. That's what a smart podcast would do. Yes. Tune in tomorrow behind the paywall.

It's not called the smart zone, is it? No, it's not. Tell the story. Now? Yeah, you don't have to give a first. I do have to. Not the, just give the female name. I'd have to give all names.

Do whatever you want. I'm with you. I support you 110%. I'm nervous. It ain't as funny as you think it is, but it is a very interesting story. We worked with the guy for a long time.

Whose daughter was Amber Geiger. Had a little mix-up in an apartment. Yeah. You better remember. Do you know who that is? Who is she? Well, they renamed Street downtown. Not for her.

Not for her. For the young man she shot. Awesome Jean. Yeah, she was the cop who mistakenly went to the wrong floor when she was returning from a shift. Thought that she had an intruder in her house. Can I call it Quick 20? And this is another one that I know bothers T.C. And I don't remember the details as well as he probably does.

I kind of feel like that was the Azizan Sari Me Too cancellation of police shootings. Very sad. but like that happened while we were like actively seeing people get brutalized. Yeah. And it sort of got like, I just felt like it's kind of a difference between 16 and 6. But proceed. That was just my take on the matter. And it wasn't because of our personal connection.

It just sort of felt different. That's all I'm saying. Right. There's a lot of guys that get exonerated. And you're like, whoa, really for that? And then she didn't. Anyway, she was a lady cop, Amber Geiger. we knew her dad for many years

and he was kind of like he was a great guy the nicest guy he is the nicest guy I still know him and his but he always he had this gruff he always had this aura about him as if he was just having a tough day he's an engineer

he's an engineer is really all you need to know I just don't know if that communicates it to everyone else yeah he was just like so that's why I was saying he was just kind of always seemed to have a little clouter on him yet you talk to him He had a joke of the day, I think. Joke of the day.

I loved walking by and be like, how you doing? He'd go, I don't know why I said it like that. I'd be like, how are you doing? He'd go, hanging on. And he put his hands up like he was hanging on to a little cat poster. Yes, it's so funny, dude, hanging on. Everybody knew, everybody who worked where we worked knew that's, it was his daughter. And it was never verbalized.

But, I mean, he was still. work. And then we'd go like talk about the story on the air. But then you'd see him right. Well, this is now years later, a couple years later. And I see him in the break room. Maybe it was like a after COVID type thing. I've seen him in over here and all that.

He would always ask you about your daughters too, for real. Like I would hear him just organically be like, oh, the girls. He had met my daughter and helped me out with the couple things. Again, great, great thing. And so I was like, I thought I'm going to be the guy. How's your daughter? Yeah. Because no one's ever going to ask him.

Right. And he was also like super proud of her. I know that's like a sad part of the story, but I remember it being like. But it was like a floodgate kind of open. Like he could talk about his daughter now. Yeah. Yeah. And he started telling me about this and that.

And it's tough because of this. And we drove down to Sear last weekend. And like no one has ever, it felt like no one has ever asked this guy. Yeah. How's your daughter? Because it's a touch. Like, God. No, yeah.

That sounds very accurate. How people behave. Yeah, like, I just don't want to touch that. Not this one. Not Dan. Well, generally, I like to stick to the weather, but, you know, I like this. Dude's a good dude. So now we are talking, and he's telling me she's in the death row, because that's also where, that's like the protective custody, too.

So if you're a cop, you can't go out in Jen Pop. So I've learned on TV. so where you are housed is next to the death row inmates and on death row he was like yeah and she's right next to say it like him though no okay i don't want to do any imitations he says yeah she's uh she's her cell is right next to selina's killer and he's uh kind of bemoaning that and he's like she loves selina

Like this is an extra bag. His daughter. He was like, and it's tough for her to be, you know, next to her because she grew up really loving Selena. Like, she actually was. She didn't want to join the Aryan sisterhood. Right. It was a survival thing.

She might have been in the fan club with that, I think, the killer. Yeah. Yeah. It was allegedly the president of that fan club. So if you can imagine the worst thing going to jail, but then with Selena's killer, I mean. So, yeah, I just know. tangentially, right, the lady

who is living next to Salinas killer. That's the story that we would always And we will often... And if we were on the ticket where the guy still works, we didn't... I wouldn't have brought it up because then... Not that he would have cared, I don't think.

But, you know, those around it. That's a good story. Very good story. Mark that, Beth. God damn it, Beth Sear. Slacking. She'll get to it. Yeah.

She's living. Yeah, I was killing. And hey, Dan. Oh, this is from Drop Beth. How does she email from here? Dude, she's like the guy on Instagram who's like, I live three days every day, eight hours. It's insane.

Oh, anyway, that was from Harry, who wanted the Selena story. Please wish not dude perfect Tyler a happy birthday. He told you on Tuesday that his birthday and his friend's nephew's kid's birthday was yesterday. And all five of us idiots in the discord forgot. So, oh, happy belated birthday to very good dude, Tyler. All right, Tyler. But not a perfect dude.

Tyler. Did you sound like a dude perfect yet? He likes him, yeah. Which I'm actually fine with it. It's the best thing on way better than a lot of the other things on YouTube that he would be watching. So I'm okay with it. That's their big cell. That's the bar.

That's their big cell. Blake hates due perfect. Oh, dude, we skip it, because it'll come up and suggest it. It's much better than Roblox or something. It's fun. It's fun. Game Day Men's Health presents. It's fun.

I had hours of entertainment watching Dude Perfect videos with my daughter. Good. But I'm more of a good parent that spends time with their kid. No, I spend time with them. We just watch, like, uncut war videos. It's an antipada. Yeah. Like, see this kid get a rock.

Let's see here. You're welcome to. All right, today in history from game day, men's self, gameday. Dot Dumbzone.com. Get your T straight, which will help you get your P straight. Nice. As in penis. Right.

Then me. I do love penis. Blowing up, Joey. That's great. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Cock gobbler. Today is Thursday, January 22nd.

They're unhinged. This is the day in 1920 that the Yankees announced they would be the first team to wear uniform numbers. And they were assigned according to the player's position in the batting order. Uh-huh. That's why Bay, Bruce is number three, right? And Lou Gehrig is four, or is it the other way around? Does anyone know?

Yeah, Babe Ruth is three. I didn't know that that was why. Yeah. Interesting. This day in 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court declares a nationwide constitutional right to abortion, Roe v. Wade. Yeah. Also known as the boxing match in Jake's backyard. I tried really hard.

I tried really hard. when I lived in San Marcos, right behind Arsenio Hall, we had a big area where we were going to put a ring. I knew a guy named Richard Robiski, something, and he was a fighter, and I had a buddy named Wade, and they hated each other. And I was just like, dude, we could sell so many. Perfect. Everybody knows both you guys. This is a clash of the Titans.

Did you do it? No, they both were like, oh, cops. Like, whatever, dude. They were missing out. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So on this day in 1987, a video was made that Jake could watch with his son. Yeah.

Pennsylvania treasurer was convicted of defrauding the state. Yeah. Yep. So he holds a news conference. He's going to tell anybody how he's not guilty of this. And his name is Bud Dwyer. An honest man. Bud Dwyer Day.

He had already been convicted. So he's going to jail So he calls a news conference, proclaims his innocence He pulled out a manila folder? Yeah I thought it was like a linch sack No, it's like one of those folders

That pops the top And pop the top pulled out a gun Because it's like a 38 It's a big ass gun Put the barrel in his mouth And you know Uh Sir

Tomorrow I'll tell you what happened No You should include that he was a gentleman who said, hey, if anybody in here is going to be a big baby about this. Did he? Yeah. Like you said, if you're squeamish or something?

Yeah, you got women, children, whatever. I don't think he gave him, like, a ton of time. I think he turned it around pretty quickly. Yeah. But he did say, yeah, it's a super sad story. Shocker. The story about how a guy killed himself on TV was sad. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, what happened to you? Yeah, hey man, nice shot to filter. Jake's gotten soft since he had kids. He used to love this story. No way, dude. I go to Game Day. This day in 2003, the Chappelle Show premiered.

I've recently rewatched the Chappelle show, and it takes like a half hour to rewatch all. It's way shorter of a life than you think. Yeah. Yeah. One skit, then a commercial break. Maybe my favorite show ever. 28 episodes. You really had to sit down and do it.

28 episodes. Pound for pound it. It may be my favorite ever. It's very good. On this day in 2006, the second highest point total in NBA history? No, never mind. Kobe. Okay.

81 points. Okay. This day in 2007, Bill Parcells announces his retirement from football after four seasons as head coach of the Cowboys. You ever heard Bill Parcells talking about his assistants, Jimmy? No, I have not. I saw this go sort of viral the other day. I can't imagine it's positive. Well, no, it is.

But this is something we played on the ticket for 20 years, but it popped back up the other day. He had Sean Peyton, very innovative offensive. It was a Cowboys O.C. at the time. And Mike Zimmer, who would go on to be a great head coach and one of the league's great coordinators, an all-star cast, really. And Parcells described the way they would try to surprise one.

You know, I got two guys Sean Peyton and Mike Zimmer. You got to keep an eye on those two. Because they're going to try to get the, the upper hand on. Mike wants the defense to do well. And John, he's going to have a few, no disrespect to the Oriental's, but what we call Jap plays, okay?

Surprise things. And no disrespect to anyone. But, you know, you got to watch them. They'll, because they'll have to be a lot of stuff. Got to keep an eye on them. Possibly some sort of a coordinator camp. put them in that if they got to. Just where they could focus.

Yeah. I need to focus. Sort of a... I've never heard that. That's fantastic. Dude, his press conferences were great. All you could tell he got over his skis, but was like, ah, fucking... Whatever, I'm built on ourselves.

He's going to keep forging ahead. All right, we called them Jap plays. All right. I'm sorry. It's football. Get a pair. And again, it's not actually a shot. That's a compliment.

That's a compliment to everyone involved. One famous wedding on this date in 2005, businessman and reality TV host, Donald Trump, age 58, Mary's former model, Melania Noss. Age 34, she is not born here, not born here. She was came here from a different country. I think Lubliana.
