Yo, maniacs, Hulk Hogan here, the greatest of all time, and my new tag team partner, Campbell Mania, brother, is going to run wild this year. Super Bowl, nothing but greatness, nothing but victory.
Starting point is 00:00:40 So what you going to do when the Detroit Lions and Campbell Mania runs wild on you, what you're gonna do Answer him. Not much. What are you going to do? Apparently. Not a whole lot. Nah, Campbell Maney was here. They conquered?
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah, I'd say they did. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. Oh yeah, I forgot. He's back. Danny's here, but he will not introduce himself. Blake's flying high today.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Go on. The Seguin Cougars? Come on. Nary a struggle. From my Argyle Eagles. What's the information on that, Blake? Or is that in your weekend check? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:02:21 No? No. Wow, what's wrong? You okay, little buddy? Yeah, great. Are you scrambling here? Yes. Wow, what's wrong? You okay, little buddy? Yeah, great. Are you scrambling here? Yes. Got a lot going on?
Starting point is 00:02:29 So much. Well, here you go. Everybody, get those devil horns in the air and give a warm welcome to Danny Heavy Metal Veil. How you feeling now? Good. I wasn't asking you. I'm awake now. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah, Danny's here as well. We're broadcasting today from high atop my garage. In fact, from what I understand, we may or may not be streaming. Ooh. Like live. Spicy. On the tube. And, yeah, we're here still because it's just kind of a carryover.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Had all the equipment set up last night or yesterday afternoon during the Cowboys game. We were very excited. Aspen Creek and Irving just brought over a ton of food. It was great. They have great food, by the way. They do. So many options, too.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I've never been to Aspen Creek and Irving, but I will be now. It's awesome. A lot of places you're, like, I've never been to Aspen Creek in Irving, but I will be now. It's awesome. A lot of places you're trying to decide where to go. You're going to go out for a nice dinner, maybe have a couple cocktails. You're like, I want pizza. And someone else says, I'd rather have some salmon and shrimp. We're at a deadlock here. It's called an impasse.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah. Aspen Creek says, wait a minute. They got it all. Wait a minute. They got it all. Why don't you come on out to Irving? They got your rice and salmon and broccoli. They got your shrimp. They got your steak. They got anything.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Pizza. So it was cool. It was great. We were all fired up, ready for this big, you know. Jake's back, and we have a, you know, we had a football guest, John Hampton, former SMU player. We're ready to just talk football and break down the game and have a tight contest.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Whoa. And then it was, you know, over by halftime. Yeah, that's generous. I would say that's generous. And as Jerry was upset about after the game. On his birthday. On his birthday, of all things. They're just, like Detroit was just laughing.
Starting point is 00:04:55 What if we try this? And then they'd laugh. Oh, well, it didn't work. Who cares? We'll just score a different way. And then they would. I mean, I referenced this yesterday when we had my brother on the stream. didn't work who cares yeah we'll just score a different way and then they would and i mean i i unbelievable i referenced this yesterday when we had my brother on the stream because uh we had him
Starting point is 00:05:11 on because he worked for the saints for a couple years worked with dan campbell very closely and as we were sitting here swirling down the drain he was like how do y'all do this like how do you guys do these streams when the game is over a quarter and a half in? And I remarked to him, well, I know how I did it because I played at Richland High School. You can't just leave when you're down to, you know, James Battle or whoever Denton Ryan's five-star quarterback was. Well, they're up by 47 in the second quarter. So then you get to see them just F around. At which point you might see
Starting point is 00:05:48 a hook and ladder to a tackle. That's scored. You might see a double pass. You might see flea flickers because they're just having fun. I'll tease ahead to the audio that Danny pulled for us. The booth was having fun too. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Oh yeah. They want you to know they're having fun yes we are friends oh boy who are laughing and having dinner remember dan in week one when we were reviewing the audio from the booth and we kind of focused on the fact that kb wants everyone to know that he and tom brady had dinner night. That is such a choice. That is a conscious decision for sure. And I was like, okay. Dan's take was he wants the world to know that he and TB are best pals and they have dinner. And my take was by week six, these dinners aren't going to be happening anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, they're not friends. No. They're not friends. Tom Brady has to pretend like he actually wants to be part of the team with KB, but it's all a ruse. But they were having fun. Why not? Watching the team run for
Starting point is 00:06:53 pretty much any amount of yardage they want. The Cowboys' turnovers were all hilarious. That game was over the second that Dak threw that pick in the end zone. It was over right then. Well threw that pick in the end zone. It was over right then. Well, you always have a chance for clutch Dak to show up later.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I mean, that's what happened the previous week. Dak threw some really terrible, untimely picks. But by the end, everybody forgot. You totally forgot because it's like, ah, see the end of that road game, tough situation. Let's get into that in a second. So we were here yesterday with my industrial garbage bag and, you know, with a lot of fun. Disposable hand towels. Are we punting on recycling now?
Starting point is 00:07:39 During the game, it's like, what am I going to do? I'm fine with it, but I thought you were going to judge me. No, no, no. I mean, if you just want, you know, I got my recycling bin over here. Okay. You know, you've convinced me that all my effort is being rewarded with 5% of the stuff I throw in the recycling bin is actually getting reused. I think that's about right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Did you ever calculate the price per unit on those goddamn garbage bags? I think it's about $3.50. On those industrial garbage bags? Those badass, thick garbage bags. What's saving all the beer and meat juice from being on my floor? It's meat juice. Yeah. I remember when I was a kid, man, there was nothing worse.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And this still probably holds today. I cannot think of another liquid that I want to interact with less than trash juice. I had to take the trash out, and I would always do it barefoot. And the snail trail of crap that goes to the dumpster. Yeah, you would hold the bag out, like away from your body, and kind of do a Fred Flintstone thing so that it wouldn't get on your feet, but inevitably it would. It's just casserole mixed with wine.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Inevitably, it would. It's just casserole mixed with wine. An old rotten cucumber that was in the fridge forever. That's the first thing you put when it was a fresh bag, so it's at the very bottom. Disgusting. Yeah. So, yeah, we were here, Dan, with big bags. And the wife, this was not an argument. This was just a discussion that we had yesterday.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Afterwards, she was helping take down some chairs and clean up and everything. As you guys just bolted out the door right away. She was helping clean up and everything. What else does she do? Fair point.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Fair counterpoint. But she was up here saying, you know what? Gosh, with all this equipment and everything, she goes... We should film it. You should just... No, my bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:33 She's more of the let's close the blinds, turn off all the lights, and never speak of this again. If indeed it ever does happen. She said we should make this into a studio. She goes, it's too homey. She goes, you should transform this into a real, just a studio.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And I wonder if that would take the allure away from the Wayne's World basement. I'm going to have to vote against that. You would vote against that? Yeah. So you like the couch, the pictures of the kids. Yeah, I mean, I think it's already a lot on you to have what we have up here. And I want it to stay pure for you.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Transform it into a – I like to be able to look over and see the Third Reich or Ayn Rand on the shelf and see all the Superman stuff. I like it. Actually, I love it. Where do I have the Third Reich on the shelf? Why do I get painted like this? If you want to say I like to go Actually, I love it. Where do I have the Third Reich on the shelf? Why do I get painted like this? If you want to say I like to go look at Superman, well, I have the guiltiest charge.
Starting point is 00:10:30 There's quite a few Superman things. The point stands. I like that this feels like we're just hanging out. And I feel like that at our studio as well, but there's something special here. Okay. And most of all, people seem to like paying to come here. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty important.
Starting point is 00:10:47 So let's do a weekend check. It is brought to us by Qualys. QualysGC.com. Is that their website? I believe so. I better get that right. All I know is they're Qualys Roofing. They are the guys that put the roof right on this den.
Starting point is 00:11:05 They put the roof on our whole house, as a matter of fact, and they were great. So they came over after some of the big hailstorms and were like, oh, yeah, insurance will cover this. Then they dealt with the insurance companies. They did all that kind of stuff. Blake, you've talked to them about getting a carport. Yeah. Like they can actually do that for you. And they're big listeners.
Starting point is 00:11:25 They're big supporters. Long time. And they've got a deal where if you just get a roof inspection from them for free, just call them, 817-500-9008. They'll give you a free Dumb Zone t-shirt. And then if they end up putting a roof on your house, they will pay for you to come visit the den here um or they'll even give you an annual subscription they're just going to do whatever you want because they're great that's right they don't go halfway you think
Starting point is 00:11:57 you're going to get half a roof half of half of a subscription no not with qualys. At QualysGC.com. Good people, man. One of the first people that had us out. Yeah. QualysGC.com. They know roofs. Not roofies. They're into roofs. No. Not roofies. They would never roofie you. They stand by that.
Starting point is 00:12:21 They're like, we will never roofie you. Right. Now if your roof is leaking... So now take the test. Have them out. See if they do. See if you remember it. I think you will. I think it's going to be great. Leave one out on the table and see if they start trembling. Yeah, like they're
Starting point is 00:12:35 shaking. Doubtful. Thank you, DeQualis. Alright, weekend check. I'll go. Brooke's turned three on Saturday. I was looking for my invite. Oh yeah, I went last year, I think. Yeah, you both did. So I had a big party over at the house. That was the party I went to. Yeah. That Jake showed up just because he knew I would show up. Or no, he thought I wouldn't show up. That's why he did.
Starting point is 00:13:10 So I went and then Dan walked in and I was like, what the? Yeah. And then you both immediately left. Well, objective achieved. Knowing that. Did I bring him a, like a dude perfect book? Is that where I got? No, that was, I think it was Goodnight Gorilla,
Starting point is 00:13:24 which has turned into one of his favorites. Okay, that's a great book. I'm with you. Yeah, really solid. Don't know it. Oh, it's great. The little mouse just follows everywhere. That's the one you got to focus in is the mouse.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Or the balloon. The balloon, for sure. Yeah. That's a good one. Any kind of a monkey book is a good thing. He's a cheeky little gorilla, Dan. See, I probably had, I don't know, 40 people over. 40.
Starting point is 00:13:46 He cast the net at 40. And not so much as an invite. I would have loved to be there. The thing is. I love kids' parties. We had alcohol there, and I love you too much to surround you with something like that. So it was actually out of an abundance of caution, I just decided to not invite you. And Dan?
Starting point is 00:14:07 See, you would have been fine. Too many moms. Then I can't pick favorites. Too many young moms. So I just decided to not invite anybody. All right. Too many young moms who would probably want to leave their husbands for me. So I understand why you wouldn't invite me.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Is having a party worth it? Having people over and worrying about what the house looks like, and is it clean, and is the yard mowed and manicured? You have to pay money for things. Yeah, I mean, I guess the people that come over have fun.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Three-year-old? Yeah. Did you have to assemble gift bags for his friends that came over no we didn't do that we haven't done that either interesting i wonder if that's changing uh i think it's just maybe when they get older it's it's not i've gotten them at other at other places and it's nice gesture but that was we might have done something small at nora's deal i don't remember but yeah now we do have to get them stuff on each other's birthdays. It's all just a shell game.
Starting point is 00:15:08 You're just moving stuff. How about none of us give any presents ever again? Like your dad told you when you were like eight. I don't know. You don't need another Nerf football, do you? It is nice. I don't know. The kids get excited for the gifts.
Starting point is 00:15:22 So that was cool. Yeah, it's just exhausting. Yeah, it sucks. Doing it at home, especially. Yeah. We may start moving it to somewhere else, but I got a big backyard, so it's just very easy to throw crap out there and let the kids run wild.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I would like to apologize to... Thank you. A Sam's employee... I've been waiting for employee this i had to go pick up the cake on saturday morning and i'm not a sam's guy like if i'm gonna bold claim and i don't mean anything by that i'm just like if uh if we when we shop at sam's it's the wife going okay to do all the bulk stuff if i need something quick i'll go to i don't kroger or something but i'd never been to the sam's i didn't quite it's very it's kind of overwhelming like when you walk in because they have a hundred tvs set up it's a massive place there's people
Starting point is 00:16:17 everywhere maybe get a treadmill whatever you need yeah and an apple yeah yeah but you gotta buy in bulk oh you buy a bunch of them you can't buy one banana no so it was already like overwhelming walking in that place i mean and then didn't quite know what to do with the bakery like hey i'm here to pick up a cake but there's no like you're allowed to buy one cake cash register yeah okay and so i'm just trying to get in and out of there okay got a lot of stuff to do got some people to pick up got to get ice always ice and uh so it's very confusing getting the cake and then i finally get the cake and it says on there like paid so i feel like okay i'm good to go here so i get the cake and then my natural reaction is to just go out of the door i came in and oh newbie apparently yeah that don't fly there's an exit
Starting point is 00:17:14 only i guess yeah you gotta check your receipt so i park pretty close to the entrance so i i don't know i just i'm not thinking I'm just going to walk to my car. So I go back and I'm seriously here to that wall from the entrance. And again, the cake says paid and, the employee stops me and says, Hey, Hey,
Starting point is 00:17:40 uh, are you returning the cake? And I'm already in like, I got no patience for today. Third birthday party mode. This whole birthday party thing. Yeah. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Diddy's in jail. Yeah, Diddy's in jail. I don't know if you're. Argyle whipped up on Sagin. Can they keep the momentum going? Sure. We got the stream tomorrow. I got the Cowboys to cover three.
Starting point is 00:18:01 There's no way in hell they are. I just got a lot on my mind. Yeah, understood. I don't need your to cover three. There's no way in hell they are. I just got a lot on my mind. Yeah, understood. And I don't need your bullshit, basically. So I get to the door, and they said, are you returning the cake? And I look at the paid sticker, and it says, no, I've already paid for it. And they're like, oh, okay, you've got to go to the exit. And I said, I can't go out this door right here.
Starting point is 00:18:22 And they said, no, you've got to go to the exit. We're all right here. We're all adults no, you got to go through the exit. We're all right here. We're all adults. You clearly know that I paid for it. And I walked out the door. You guys don't know. That's a felony. Way to go.
Starting point is 00:18:34 You guys don't know Sam's Law. Sam's Law is different. What did they do? Tase you? I don't know. Stamp his little foot? I just tried to ignore everything. I don't know. Stamp his little foot? I just tried to ignore everything. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I feel like after I did it, I did feel bad. They're making a minimum wage. I get it. I know. I'm sorry. I'm the jerk here. That guy's hanging on to life by a shred. He wanted to give you more steps.
Starting point is 00:18:59 That shred is based in the only small piece of authority he has. I know. I know all of this. And you were like, fuck that. But the damn anything in his life. I know all of this. And you were like, fuck that. I know it. But the damn door was right there. It was just right there. Let me walk out of this door.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So, I don't know. I've been contemplating that all weekend of I feel bad for the guy. I'm sorry, Sam's guy. And I was a big – He took the cow. I was a giant dick, and I'm so sorry. But the door's right there, man. Come on.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I paid... Why doesn't everyone... Hey, everyone just do it. I'm sure that'll work out great. No, okay. I thought about this. I did need to go through checkout. If I had to go through checkout,
Starting point is 00:19:36 then yes, I'll go out that door. How about everyone with a giant cake that says paid on it? Okay. There can't be very many of us. So I'm sorry, Sam's guy. The door's right there. I was parked right there.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I'm very sorry. Boy, there is a double standard at the receipt check at the Sam's Club or the Walmart because the one I go to typically is on St. Francis and 30. You feel like you skate on a little profiling? Oh, my God. I will watch a brother. I've noticed that too. I will watch a brother with a mint.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Yeah. And that's all he's got. And they will be highlighting it. It makes sense. And then here comes the ding with this cute white three-year-old with about $300 worth of shit in a basket. You've got an 80-inch flat screen on your shoulders carrying it out. Oh, yeah. And I just roll through, and I've got my receipt.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And then they look at me and go, you good? I've definitely seen that happen. Then played a little softball yesterday morning. How'd we do? Before the stream. Did okay. How were the socks?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I'm just a sub for the fall. I can't commit. But I'll fill in here and there. Mash? You good, baby. Yeah, we mashed a little yesterday. All right. Did you, Homer?
Starting point is 00:20:47 I did. How many? A little Jimmy Jack. How many are you allowed to hit in a game? Unlimited. Oh. Yeah, this is no. So how many did you hit?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Rec League. Just one. I didn't want to show off too bad, you know. Yeah. I will deliver my weekend check went and got the head shaved Saturday wanted to look good for that stream and I think we could all agree
Starting point is 00:21:12 mission accomplished star of the show the head looked awesome also I have this situation at the barber shop that I feel comfortable talking about because my regular head shave lady couldn't do the head shave for a while.
Starting point is 00:21:35 She was on some kind of medication, so she couldn't use the straight razor. And so I was handed off to Dora. This is something you might have run into last month. No. I was handed off to Dora. She's my haircut person as run into last month. No. I was handed off to Dora. She's my haircut person as well, yeah. And so Dora's been doing a great job, and I've been consistently going to her for like three months.
Starting point is 00:21:53 So now it's a weird thing because this other regular head shave lady, Victoria, I've been seeing her for like over a year. And so now when I would go in to see Dora, who does a great job, I feel like I'm cheating on Victoria. But now all of a sudden, Victoria is off the medication and it shows she's available for a head shave.
Starting point is 00:22:14 But if I go in with Dora, then Victoria, who I've been going to for years, over a year, is like, it's a weird interaction. So what I did was I saw that Dora was actually off this week. So I'm like, I got to go get a head shave with Victoria
Starting point is 00:22:34 just to let her know that I still love her. This is how much he's thinking about this. So you can see their schedule online when you book your appointment. Do you understand that neither one of them give a damn? But I feel like that Victoria thinks I'm cheating on her when I go with Dora. And then I feel like if I went to Victoria in front of Dora, that Dora would be like, oh, my gosh, I guess I wasn't doing that good of a job. But I don't want her to think that.
Starting point is 00:22:59 And I had a similar situation. So now I will always schedule one of them when I see the other one. Like, I already have it booked. He's like tracking it. They're going to talk about it anyway. I will never, ever schedule a head shave with Dora if I see Victoria is also open in that time slot. I can never, or vice versa. I can't do it now.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Yeah. And then I will tell the other one, oh, I thought you were booked up today. Oh, you're booked. Yeah. Yeah. It's in both of our heads because I had to do a similar thing where I used Victoria. I had Dora do my hair. And I'm not going to say it was better, but it was definitely great.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And then because Victoria wasn't available that day, but I was like, damn, this is pretty good. You know, pretty solid. She had like the – Yeah. The one thing she had that the other one didn't is she had like the hair vacuum. That thing is awesome. What? You know, the little things mean a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:49 It's like a shop vac. It's like a shop vac. Like when they're done cutting your hair, you know, you got hair all over you. You got to run it under water. It sucks. She just ran like basically a shop vac thing over my entire head.
Starting point is 00:24:00 So you didn't have itchy back in your shirt all day? No, and it was all off and I didn't have to rinse my hair. It gets in your collar. But of course it does and then i felt like ah though i can't keep doing this because now it'll be like i'm cheating again i just don't like it i've been going to the same lady for 15 years yeah and there's been times where you know i want a haircut she's not available let's go somewhere else and i've done this probably like, I don't know, 15 times over the last 15 years. There's a difference between going somewhere else and going to the lady in the chair next to her.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Okay. That's fair. Where they, you know, they hen squawk is what they do. Oh, yeah. I did. Okay. I don't want to create problems between them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:39 But I did ask her straight up because they always say, well, it looks like you've been cheating on me. Yeah. And I've asked her, I go, is that even a thing? Do you guys, you know, and she goes, we don't care. I'm just kidding. Yeah, they always say they don't care. I know women. I know women better than anyone.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Well, try not having a great answer prepared for when you go in and they're like, oh, it's been a while. Somebody else cut your hair? And I'm like, yeah, a friend did it while I was on vacation. My gay roommate. By a couple weeks' vacation. So then I was leaving the barbershop, as I will do at the end of the whole experience. Yep. Good detail.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Or no, actually, it was a guy leaving before I was done. And he yelled out to all the ladies, Happy Halloween. Wait a second. It's like the 14th. I think it's... It was the 12th. I don't think it matters if it's the 29th or 30th
Starting point is 00:25:35 or perhaps even the 31st. That's ridiculous. Yeah. So on October 12th, we're giving out Happy Halloween greetings already. Well, you know that guy's a pain in the ass. And then finally, after the game yesterday, we went out to take a little walk with the boys, the dogs.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Not the hit television show, The Boys on Amazon Prime, which everybody should take part in. The dogs. So, me and the wife were walking the dogs and saw one of our neighbors. He was out there just taking a few cuts in the cage. He was like, hey, oh, man, we had a crazy weekend. So that's a... Leading statement couple, leading statement guy.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Led you into something. Oh, what happened? Go ahead. My sister got arrested in Mexico. I'm at least interested. I was like, huh. I presume not necessarily a young man. Has spent three days in jail.
Starting point is 00:26:33 She's getting out right now. Like, we're going over to my mom and dad's house. They were walking down the street. Their mom and dad lives down the street. And we're going to, you know, whatever. Commiserate on that. And I was thinking in my head, oh, man, do get wasted do something whatever solicitation no um apparently they were with a bunch of people and they uh were leaving on a friday i guess and one of the guys was like, hey, can you take this bag?
Starting point is 00:27:11 And one thing led to another as they were getting through customs. Anyway, it had ammunition in it. How much? I don't know. Enough to detain you and be in jail all weekend. I think that might be any. And have to pay. Like a bullet?
Starting point is 00:27:23 Like $11,000. Around? Okay, keep going. So, he's have to pay like $11,000. Around? Okay, keep going. So, he's like, you'll never believe, though. And I'm like, oh, she had to stay in like overnight. Yeah, yeah. She's been there since Friday afternoon. I think it was getting into Mexico. So, they were there for a weekend of fun.
Starting point is 00:27:40 They got in there like Friday at 2 o'clock. Getting through customs, getting through, and then they found this. And then she spends the whole vacation weekend. Yeah. Which I bet the husband. Well, it kind of reminds me of – His own bed.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I heard Corby telling a story about a trip, a dude's trip he went on in like the last year where they were going to a guy's, you know, whatever, a Corby friend place in Colorado. And the day they got there, that guy had to have like an appendectomy or something. It was something crazy. Yeah. And he had to go to the hospital. And they're like, well, we're here. Like this guy's on his deathbed or something.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And they just partied at his house for three or four. Like that's a tough one, man. Your wife is in jail in Mexico. or something. They just partied at his house for three or four weeks. That's a tough one, man. Your wife is in jail in Mexico, likely being turnt out. Let's just all say it. And you're like, well. So she wasn't because they gave her her own. Do they have margaritas? She had her own cell.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And she is a solo cell for the whole weekend. But it was next to another cell, kind of like you've seen the movies, right? So I guess next to Migs' cell, for instance. So now the guy in the cell next to her for the whole weekend, who she developed a somewhat of a friendship with, apparently. It happens. They were talking like deep into the night, apparently. I love you, baby. We're going to have to search this.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Rugnado Dor. Which one? I don't know. I think probably the Ranger. Well, they were both Rangers in the organization. So, apparently Rugnado Dor was in a cell in Mexico for the whole weekend. Now, this is all rumor and hearsay. I am not reporting this to be actual whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:33 We don't break any news here. We just wildly speculate. Just in case I could get in trouble for that. Are you looking up rugi arrests? Because all I know is some guy told me that some guy told him that whatever. But like I don't even know if that would make
Starting point is 00:29:50 I don't know that that would even make news. Depending on the charge but I mean if you just got Was it a border town? So this must have happened just like right on the other side? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Did they fly in somewhere? No they flew in somewhere. I don't know where they are. Yeah and I mean if you just got picked up for a weekend Yeah it might not. That might not be If I don't know where they are. Yeah, and I mean, if you just got picked up for a weekend. Yeah, it might not. That might not be.
Starting point is 00:30:07 If he was a current Texas Ranger, maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. So did she ask him where it all went wrong, or like what did they? I don't know. You know what? Today.
Starting point is 00:30:18 You were never the same after you punched Bautista. Today is the anniversary of Batflip. Oh, yeah. Of the playoff game. Oh. When they were throwing bottles. At babies.flip. Oh, yeah. Of the playoff game. When they were throwing bottles. At babies. At babies. Beer at babies.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Pouring beer on babies. What a campaign. Pouring beer on babies. That was like one of the greatest baseball afternoons I've ever had. Incredible. I know the Rangers lost, but it was an afternoon because I know I drove home and watched that. Yeah, that was peak. What a day. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Well, I want you to follow up on that story. I also have a lot of questions about the origin of it. A friend just gave her a bag and said, why don't you take this to security for me? I don't know. Again, they were with a bunch of people. I do that every time someone asks me.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Especially if you don't know them. Yeah, of course. Hey, I'll do it. Yeah, I don't know that I did. I didn't do that much. Saturday, do you know Nash Farm, Dan? Is that near Ballinwall Park? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, it's like a... You do some pumpkin stuff there sometimes. Yeah, you can. Just walk around. It's almost like what they had Saturday. They called it like a fall festival. It's one of the many things that makes Grapevine a down-homey type place. It's very down-homey to the point where what they had on Saturday,
Starting point is 00:31:34 it's almost like a renaissance fair but for the 1800s. So they had like a little trio of men with like a banjo, and they're dressed all dusty. Are we talking first half or second half? Because that's a pretty important distinction here in Texas. As to who was playing what characters. They did not. All the characters were white.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Okay. And, yeah, they're playing a banjo guitar fiddle trio. They're dressed like they're from the old times. Or they're a bartender in Deep Ellum. Or they're a bartender. That's true, too. They had things you could walk around and do with the kids, like grinding up corn for chickens.
Starting point is 00:32:22 A favorite pastime of my toddler. They have high school girls out there, but they're dressed like Petticoat Junction. And they have... This is a good question that I actually should have looked into. They had stilts. And Kristen was like... Did they have a stilt guy walking around?
Starting point is 00:32:41 No, you could use them. Oh, okay. Because I know downtown Grapevine, they'll always have stilt Santa. Yeah. Weird stuff. Well, it's funny because they had three, I suppose, sets of stilts. I didn't see any adults do it, but I saw some high school kids do it. Did you want to?
Starting point is 00:32:59 Oh, I did bad. Yeah. But you're like, God, I just want to see one other adult do it, and I can do it. Yeah, because there was several kids waiting, and I didn't want to see one other adult do it and i can do it yeah because like there was several kids waiting and i didn't want to be like my stilt turn yeah and so it just brought about the question though kristen was like was there ever like a functional purpose for this for stilts like you know when you would watch like um they would do like the the games on espn where there'd be like barrel rolling you're like okay well maybe there at some point was like did
Starting point is 00:33:24 they have a stilt race or did they have a right was it just circus rolling. You're like, okay, well, maybe there at some point was... Did they have a stilt race? Right. Was it just circus entertainment where you're like, well, he's way up there? No, that's interesting. What was ever the point? What's the origin of stilts? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I thought about it. Was there a farming thing where they could mash things better? I don't know. So they had stilts. They had a... I don't know but yeah so it's stilts they had uh i don't know you could make toys that i suppose a kid 200 years ago would have been entertained by like here take this young child it's made of yarn and stick yeah ball on stick yeah like oh yeah and because that's what
Starting point is 00:34:00 kids need now is a 200 year regression regression in entertainment. They already need a VR helmet to be happy. Let's see how this works out. You could pet a goat or a sheep. Basically, it is what I'm telling you. What if we tried to entertain kids of 2024 with what they had to deal with in 1852? Let me tell you how long that lasts. Not very. It's just like, oh, hey, here's some corn.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Throw it at a chicken. That was it. It was pretty spare. What's that farm thing in South Dallas? Bontemps? Bontemps? Tim Bontemps Farm? Bontemps Farms, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:43 That's a cool bit. That's a very cool bit, but they're growing a lot of things they actually give away. You know, it's a food desert. It's good for the community. So anyways, I did that. Was tasked with the kid, the boy, all afternoon on Saturday. Good men stuff. Yeah, I taught him how to weld showed him showed him a porno oil yeah
Starting point is 00:35:09 his first gangbang like see this teamwork right here see how they're communicating same page right there that's years of practice my man i want to go first uh went to two different parks. Just trying to kill time. Dude. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just trying to kill time. Went to Andy's.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You like Par Park? That's a good one. Par Park's solid. Down there in Colleyville. Par Park's solid. Went to Dove Park. Sure. Did I tell you guys about when we went to the water park at Dove Park this summer?
Starting point is 00:35:41 I told you guys about how I almost had an altercation with a kid that looked like he was in about 8th grade, maybe 7th grade. Yeah. Was a bit bullyish on the slide or whatever? Yeah, to lots of kids. They were like, yeah, because, you know, I narked on him. I was like, man, you guys just keep this kid from bullying any other kids.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I think it's just, you know it's the right thing for you to do. And they're like, oh, yeah, him and his crew. They're like, yeah, they're always up here running. They don't listen to anybody. Yeah, it was very like buttercream gang or something, you know. Him and his crew, they're a couple troublemakers. Was there a tiny little guy that looked like a young Pauly Walnuts?
Starting point is 00:36:22 Right, yeah, he had his bruiser, like his muscle. So I hadn't seen that kid in a while because obviously the water park is closed. But I'm at the park, the regular park that's at the water park, you know, that you go to the rest of the year. And I'm, you know, we're doing slides or whatever. And I hear this sound. It sounds like a dirt bike. It's not a dirt bike.
Starting point is 00:36:41 It's whatever these assholes are riding now that we've talked about, right? Julie's kid won't learn how to ride a bike because every kid in their neighborhood has a motorbike. Yeah, I saw one over here. They're flourishing in South. The electric ones? Yeah, but I feel like there's He was pedaling, but he was
Starting point is 00:36:57 hauling ass. I don't know what it is. It's like a cool looks like it goes. Yeah, but you're you have handles, You have pedals. Should you be so lazy or lack of laziness at that point to pedal them? But things go fast as hell. And I'm sitting there, and I hear the, and I look over, same kid, dude.
Starting point is 00:37:19 And he's just tearing ass through the parking lot as people are walking their three-year-old through the parking lot. He's weaving in and out of them. Goes over to the field, spins out. This is now your nemesis. Try to create a big cloud of dust on the soccer field. He's just, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. He's that kid from Bad News Bears.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah. Or Sid from Toy Story. Yeah, like when we left, I legit almost waited. I waited for him to be back in the parking lot so I could walk through and act put upon. He was nowhere near hitting me. In fact, he politely stopped at a good distance.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And as I'm trying to bait him like I'm branch yesterday on Dak. Like, here, hit me. Come on. Man, you're so old now. I know. I know. That, you're so old now. I know. I know. That was pretty much it, man.
Starting point is 00:38:10 We had kid duty the whole time. Any report from you, Danny? Dude, just because of the location of where I live, this weekend is basically a don't leave your house. I forget. What's that mean? Because I live about five minutes from the state fair right on I-30. So if I want to do anything that's you know going into into dallas it's just nothing so i did have i had kid all day saturday and my day mirrored yours
Starting point is 00:38:34 it's i've got to wear this child out yeah trying yeah you're just trying to get him tired enough to go to sleep and it just ends up wearing me out oh yeah and it's incredible how i mean malcolm malcolm and carter sound kind of similar that in their high motor players high motor players big big big kid energy yeah and it it starts the moment they wake up and malcolm doesn't nap anymore yep so it ends now thankfully without the nap he'll i can get him in bed by seven o'clock and i'm walking out uh by 7 45 after we read books and all that and it's just so funny how high t that kid can be and the second the light goes out yeah he's down but if you wanted to keep him up for another three hours it'd be it'd be like your buddy at 10 o'clock at night that disappears to the bathroom for a bit,
Starting point is 00:39:25 and he's ready to go for another two. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? One thing I did forget on that sort of same front, we had something scheduled while I was away. Some family pictures. While you were away?
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yeah. And they did it? No. Oh. They were scheduled ahead of time, but we'd already paid. So we did try to go do that yesterday. It was the lady who took our wedding pictures 10 years ago. She's still in the game and killing it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 God, I kind of wish that those had gotten taken. I know. So later in life, Nora's like, why is Daddy? That was the time that Daddy had to go away for a while. Yeah. Why is daddy? That was the time that daddy had to go away for a while. My idea when I found out about it, I was like, I think Dan still has the fat head of me that we put in the Rangers crowd during COVID. The cardboard cutout of me in a Rangers jersey. Remember they did that for all the fans? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:20 I was like, just throw that in there. Oh, my God. So, yeah, we had to go do that. What if they had me and then just we could superimpose your head on it when you got back? Yeah. Photoshop it. So that you got my body in there. But so we had to go do that.
Starting point is 00:40:36 He obviously, the kid ain't fucking with that at all. My daughter loves it. The boy, he's like, what? Like, I got to sit still? This is insane. He knows it's gay. He knows, right. And so a story that had been told to me when I got back,
Starting point is 00:40:49 as Kristen was keeping notes of stuff the kids did, she was like, oh, yeah, boy, the boy learned a new word, and he's obsessed with it. And she's like, it's boobies. So he's learned what boobies are. And she's like, the first time he learned it, you know, and he was just plowing his face into my chest, he laughed so hard he threw up. So yesterday, the only way we could get him to smile, we had to tell the photographer it was boobies. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah. And she's like, okay. So now this photographer is like, Carter, boobies. And you get him to laugh and smile. Then we went to lunch after that with her parents for her mom's birthday. Please tell me you had a busty waitress. Well, what we had was we went out. I'll take them outside mid-meal.
Starting point is 00:41:37 If the restaurant has like a little outside area, usually there's like a, you know, people fire type thing. Central market. Yeah. So I'll take them outside. Just like run around for a second. And one door is blocking the door. She's like, you guys can't come in unless you have the password. Well, at the same time that we're trying to get in, so is the server.
Starting point is 00:41:58 And she doesn't know the difference. She's like, nobody can come in until we get the password. And I'm like, babe, no. Like, there's another person here now. We got to. It was boobies, right? We just got to go in. I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Okay. And now the waitress is like, that's cute. What is it? I'm like, it's boobies. And she's like, what? And Nora's like, yeah, what? Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:19 So you had to say. I'm like, yeah, ma'am. It's boobies. She's like, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. I thought it was a creep. Yeah, and then I watched the Cowboys, Dan. We can move into that if you want now. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Everybody grabs their computer. Let's get focused. I was going to say Grapevine Ford just because that's what I'm so used to saying when it comes to Chaz Gilmore, but it's Prosper Ford. He owns both. You can go there. Both places are run the exact same way perfectly. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Yeah, so Chaz opened Prosper Ford. That's at 380 in the tollway. I've dealt with him for over a decade now. Good dude. Great dude. Ask anybody there what it's like to work for Chaz Gilmore. They built 80,000 square feet of sales and service area with 18 acres of new and used vehicles, including one of the largest selections of new Fords in North Texas. So really, head on up there.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Tell them you appreciate them supporting our little podcast. And it's Prosper Ford. our little podcast. And it's Prosper Ford. ProsperFord.com or just go up the tollway off 380 and find Prosper Ford. God. Now we talk cowboys.
Starting point is 00:43:38 There's a lot. So much. We've got some KB, TB, EA, and TR audio for you. We've got some KB, TB, EA, and TR audio for you We've got I saw you put this in your article this morning Video of how sick the fans are It's not ruled
Starting point is 00:43:56 That was great We had a Can you put this up there, Rob? The Twitter post Did you guys see the Twitter picture? I didn't know the stadium had a – can you put this up there, Rob? The Twitter post. Did you guys see the Twitter picture? I didn't know the stadium had a Twitter account. Apparently, AT&T Stadium tweets about AT&T Stadium,
Starting point is 00:44:17 and they were very proud to tweet how many fans were there. That's a lot. 93,644. Oh, my. But, you know, like if you will tweet out a picture of somebody naked and then you will pixelate the wiener and you can't really tell. You could tell that they're naked, but you can't. Maybe a license plate. Yeah. Japanese porn.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah. They pixelated the score. So that was as offensive as a wiener. What the heck? So everything else crystal clear. Because they couldn't take it when it was still a game because no one was there yet. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Dallas only has three. What's the other number? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Oh, my. That is awesome. Yes, that's offensive.
Starting point is 00:45:07 That's offensive pornography. You can't define it, but you knew it when you see it. And you knew you had to get that out of here. That's right, yeah. That's what it was. The Lions Twitter account response is pretty funny. Oh, do tell. I mean, of course, it made its way around.
Starting point is 00:45:27 The Lions found it and tweeted. I love this, that this is now a thing. Twitter accounts? Yeah, 23-year-old. Team Twitter accounts? Yes. That's awesome. And they have the little emoji of the eyeglass, and it says,
Starting point is 00:45:43 Is it us, or is the scoreboard a little blurry? That's awesome. I love when brands tweet each other. Yeah, it was a tough one, man. You had multiple players play one of, if not the worst games of their career. Zach Martin. Once we lose Zach Martin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Yeah, it may be an epidemic. It may just be spreading around the whole team. Spareness. Trayvon Diggs. How about Trayvon Diggs? I guess he was never known as a tackler. No. But that's a very...
Starting point is 00:46:23 They always talk about teams quitting. Yeah. Okay. You saw it. Yeah. You're not a tackler. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Your game is based on the fact that you'll gamble and go get turnovers. You've done pretty good at that. I'll give you that. Pass rush is not getting home, so it's going to be tough to do that. How about, and perhaps this was the coverage call, in which case I need you to hit the override on Mike Zimmer and figure this out. How about from the 10, you don't line up on the goal line?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Was that the one over? Yeah. That was the – I'm not asking you to tackle. I'm not asking you to get a pick. I'm asking you that when they're lining up and stabbing from the 10, let's perhaps create a little bit of a problem so that they can't immediately throw the ball to the X receiver that you're on.
Starting point is 00:47:15 And now you've got four easy yards to end up with. Just weird. Gross. No fight. No fight at all. No fight, and that's where, you know, I don't know what... I mean, we played Dan Campbell audio last week, and you kind of get the feeling they want to run through a wall for that guy.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Wouldn't you? Dan Quinn kind of exuded that as well, whether it's true or not. And we've just talked about having your readers on on the sideline. Does that instill that same mentality that you just want guys to be clawing each other's eyes out and all that kind of stuff that you've got to do? I mean, yes, but also Mike Zimmer has been the coordinator and coach for some pretty badass feisty defensive units over the years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:03 So I think it's more, one, obviously they're banged up heavily. But I don't know that having those guys back helps that much because they weren't stopping the run when they were there. They're just built to play ahead. They're built to be front runners. They're built to dazzle. So that's what the pass rush and the good secondary is all about. You've got
Starting point is 00:48:28 a lead. Now the other team has to throw. That's where this defensive line can really shine. And by creating some pressure you make things better for the secondary. But if you're constantly behind 17-3
Starting point is 00:48:43 then all of a sudden the other team can just focus on, let's pound that ball a little bit, let's eat some clock, and that would then take some of our focus because obviously 47 points looks terrible. In fact, I might have heard this on that KT and Machoda. One Star? The One Star Cowboys podcast. I can't remember what it used to be called.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Sod. About Them Cowboys. Yeah. That's a very, very solid Cowboys show. Yeah, they used to do a post-game show the next day, but now they'll do it right away. Anyway, so I like hearing what they have to say. I think they were citing a stat that last year Cowboys points given up at home in eight games.
Starting point is 00:49:39 They're like five away from that now in three games. Dang. Good God. Like they've just gotten steamrolled at home every week now i don't put a ton into the home away thing no they're just getting steamrolled yeah yeah so i guess it's cool it always seemed like an anomaly more than anything when they had a home field advantage so yeah significant because you're like these are front-running fans they'll sell their tickets to pitt to Pittsburgh fans in a second.
Starting point is 00:50:07 It's like the way the schedule fell almost, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know that running through a bar or restaurant really psychs you up more for a game. Or you can stop and get a pizza popper. You know, everybody in the stands is staring at the TV in the air. No, but the point is that, so, yes, defense bad must be fixed. But the thought is, okay, this is the offense. Who's the quarterback?
Starting point is 00:50:42 The highest paid guy in NFL history. Who's the receiver? The second highest paid, you know, non-quarterback in the NFL. They are putting their money there. And now what we need to see when you do have injuries, or when you do have, which they do as well, although we can point back to the offseason and the realization that they're going to have no running game and their receivers besides CD are very lacking, very much lacking.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Now let's scheme it up. Let's do something. Let's do something. You're looking over there at Ben Johnson. They're, you know, I realize they're kind of having fun after a while, but also they do some of that stuff to either put a game away. That's what that double reverse flea flicker. They're like, okay, we're up 14.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Let's, I don't remember the exact score, but it was once they hit that, you're like, oh, my gosh. They're just, they're pouring it on. They're going to be relentless here you can do that or you just got to get back in these games and maybe you got to go into the game knowing there is no establishing a run we that's not going to work with this team it was never going to work with this team Brady said it and I almost pulled this clip but I figured we'd talk about it he's he he pointed out something that I thought was pretty astute,
Starting point is 00:52:08 is this needs to be a pass-first team. Immediately. Immediately. Yeah, from the start. And I couldn't believe how many, on one of the Zeke series, the number of times he got the ball when they're down as much as they were. number of times he got the ball when they're down as as much as they were and i think also this team is i think they're aware of the the writing on the wall about what they're capable of and this team is so easy to emotionally beat they do it to themselves and this happened i think it was was
Starting point is 00:52:38 week four baltimore two two games ago pittsburgh was Giants was in there somewhere, but yeah. Okay. It was the one that they lost, the most recent loss that they had before yesterday. And the same thing happened. Opening drive, get down the field, looking halfway decent, field goal. Immediately, whoever the other team was
Starting point is 00:53:00 responds with a touchdown. They're done. You said this game was over at halftime. I really believe emotionally this game was done for them when it was 7-3. I mean, the innovation with their offense is running CD as a running back now. Yeah, right. Like that's what they've come up with. And besides that, they're like, well, I guess I'm out of –
Starting point is 00:53:21 Maybe Bones will come up with something, which he did. Which, hey, the special teams looks like the best unit. If all three phases need to be in gear, well, they got one. Yeah. I mean, Danny's point of they know it, they know that they're built – I think if you're – just go back to Baltimore and Pittsburgh, whether they've had Super Bowl success recently or not. When you're built the way that they're built physically,
Starting point is 00:53:46 I think it's hard for you to walk around like you're a big badass mentally. Like Blake says all the time, the pass rushers they have are feeding off of the swagger of getting to the quarterback and creating turnovers that's hand-in-hand or hand-in-glove with. We're going to create big plays in the passing game. But if you get punched in the mouth by a team that's like, we're just going to run the ball. What are you going to
Starting point is 00:54:10 do about it? It's very hard to be small to me in the game of football and be like, hey, we're a small team with a lot of safeties playing linebackers and undersized defensive linemen, defensive ends that are mostly there to stop the pass and DBs that mostly want to get picks and be like, yeah, now we're badass. We're tough guys. You're not. They're not built that way. And it'll win you a lot of games if it's going right.
Starting point is 00:54:36 That's why they had won, ask Stephen Jones, 36 regular season games in three years. But the problem for them is that's how they're built. And the NFL is rushing the ball at four and a half yards an attempt right now league-wide, which is tied for the best mark ever. The attempts are still about the same.
Starting point is 00:54:56 But teams, because of... Because everybody's opening it up? Yeah, because of Mike McDaniel, everything from Shanahan, right? The whole Shanahan offense, the quarterbacks that can run. You're not lining up in the eye or in like far or near pro sets. Like for Matt, you're playing Madden 93. It's different.
Starting point is 00:55:15 There's a lot more motion. Everything that you see at college going up to the NFL, the Cowboys offense still looks like an NFL running offense from 10 years ago. Well, I think that the defenses in the NFL began to gear up for the Chiefs about five years ago because then they wanted to take away all the deep plays. Too high. Right. So that's why the Shanahan people are doing so well is you just got this split
Starting point is 00:55:44 in the road. Do you want to stop the long plays like Mahomes and Tyreek Hill, or do you want to stop the run? And they're just kind of caught in no man's land. Yeah, and that's exactly what it is. And so they don't have – they're a very poor tackling team. They get no push up front. And then it starts to look like they're quitting.
Starting point is 00:56:05 They're boring. They have no starts to look like they're quitting. They're boring. They have no swagger. And they're small. Now they're fast. But I don't know how much that matters. I put the line in my D Magazine article today. Maybe we touched on this during the stream yesterday. I think you could have told the Lions before the game.
Starting point is 00:56:23 That due to some violation. They were prohibited from throwing a single pass yesterday, and they would have won. Like, they averaged over five yards a carry, and typically you look at that, and you're like, oh, somebody must have broke off like a 50, and maybe someone else had a 29. They had a 19 and a 15. Those are the two longest runs yesterday, and they averaged over five yards a carry. Yeah, but they had. They had almost double figures
Starting point is 00:56:48 of runs over 10. Those felt like regular. Those felt like oh, that's not a chunk play. That's just them running the ball. The Cowboys run on first down and a second and nine. They run on first down and a second and two.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Second and two routinely. And now the whole playbook is there. And to make matters worse for the Cowboys, not to say the Cowboys are conservative on fourth down, but Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson don't give an F about fourth down. No. The whole thing is open for them. He's a gunslinger, man.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Yeah. Dan Campbell is. He's the perfect mix right now of the Junction Boys and also the nerds. You know? Right. He sees all of it. Yeah, it's really weird how he's done that. It is great.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Now, remember it hurt him in the conference championship game. It did. So, I mean, it's fun when it works, but he did get grilled. He got grilled. For that. He got grilled for the two-point conversion. You can't play scared, though. No, I'm with him 100%. His team will never quit on him.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I can promise you that. And I don't know that they're quitting on McCarthy or they just have a collection of players that are kind of. Well, you know how we were playing that audio and you said, like, remember he was almost crying and saying, we're close. We're just close. You can't feel that way about the Cowboys. No.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Like, they're not, what are you, close? Like, this is what happens when they play good teams. They're not close at all. I heard KT on their podcast also citing that Soroy stat that he gave us on our show the other day. I don't think I fully computed that when he said it. Oh, the DAC. It's against the spread against winning teams. And it's since 2003.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And his win percentage is like 263rd out of 268. So it's not a small sample. It's over 20 years. Now, the stipulations are kind of tight, but basically it's you're playing a good team and you're factoring in the difference in opponent, right? The spread, plus or minus, whatever. And he has a terrible, terrible record.
Starting point is 00:58:58 And we don't talk about that. He's been freaking feasting on the NFC East. We talk about his big yardage we talk about yeah yeah and you know what i mean that's even a bigger conversation because his deck has he ever been thought of as a top five quarterback in the nfl he's played at a top five level for one one and a half seasons but he's never been thought of as that you got've got to do that. I mean, I guess last year you could argue he was because he was second in the MVP voting. That's what I mean. But you pay a guy $60 million a year.
Starting point is 00:59:32 It does take a lot of the cap. Didn't have to be that way, though. It didn't have to be that way, but just the allocation that any quarterback that's a pretty good starter is going to start at a certain number. It's just kind of like how we've morphed into no one plays in the preseason. It used to be Emmitt and Aikman.
Starting point is 00:59:55 These are guys that won three Super Bowls in four years. It's like, okay, they don't need to play in the preseason. We know what they got. And so then it kind of trickled down to like, well, any starting quarterback that would be bad to lose them, they're not going to play either. And that's the way every starting quarterback is not like, there's a few guys.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Brady was one. Peyton Manning was one. Aaron Rodgers probably at his peak was one. Quarterbacks that could like actually paying them all the money, you might as well because they do elevate those around them. You don't have to have three all-pro wide receivers. Right. And a tight end and a great off.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Lamar Jackson has kind of proven, all right, he's kind of worth all the money because he is that good. Your team will be as good as he is. Whereas Dak kind of needs everything around him. Well, for a guy like that, you can't just say, well, but we're going to pay you $30 million a year and then spread around because we need a lot around you. You can say it in negotiations, but just kind of the way the world has worked
Starting point is 01:01:06 in these – I mean, there's plenty of examples. They let Tyreek walk. And they have Kelsey, but they let Tyreek walk. I didn't even mention Mahomes. Obviously. Aaron Rodgers. You know, he had Devontae, had some good receivers over the years,
Starting point is 01:01:17 but they were never a team where you looked at the Packers' skill positions and thought, like, boy, that's great. It was okay. The obvious one is Tom Brady. positions and thought, like, boy, that's great. Okay. The obvious one is Tom Brady. He got skill at times for sure, but they would turn some white kid you'd never heard of into an 800-yard receiver like that.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Breeze. Breeze for sure. Kind of like the whole point is even it's that hard to even find, like, a competent starter, I suppose. There aren't that many bakers out there. If you get a mid quarterback, you're kind of like the Kirk Cousins thing. Well, if he hits the market, he's going to get this huge contract, so we got to pay him a huge contract because what if we didn't have him?
Starting point is 01:01:56 Then we'd be searching for someone at least as good as him. And to make matters more complicated, he's the quarterback of the Cowboys. So in the same way that, you know, the Cowboys were never going to hire someone like Ben Johnson to be their head coach because he's kind of hot commodity guy or Mike McDaniel or hell, pretty much any of the good coaches in the NFL right now, I don't think the Cowboys would have hired him when they got hired by their team. They wanted a guy you knew of who'd won a Super Bowl, who looks like football, and Jerry can ride around on his back
Starting point is 01:02:27 like he's a horse. And I think that about Dak, too, because he's very marketable. The hardcore fan, I think, still likes him. He's in a lot of commercials. They're not just going to rip off the Band-Aid and say, hey, what about some milquetoast guy like Kirk Cousins?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Or Baker's kind of different, but he's very unproven. They're comfortable. They're comfortable putting Dak on a billboard. That absolutely means something for this team. What if they were the ones that threw a fifth-round pick to the Browns for Baker a couple years ago instead of Trey Lance? I was going to say, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Well, you've got to give it up for Trey Lance. And that's why I think they should lean into the bit and make a very aggressive offer for Devontae Adams. So I am totally on board with that. Just do it at this point. I'm very on board with a couple of things. One is that or some kind of a personnel shakeup. I don't know what that means, but adding him would be a jolt,
Starting point is 01:03:33 and it would make you think of Amari. Can Dak move well enough to play in a wild-ass football offensive scheme, though? Because you know that pocket's breaking down real quick. But it's definitely true, and it's a lot harder, I think, right now to just go acquire a starting lineman. I'm just saying they're only technically a game out of first, even though they're way worse than their record shows. I think you've got to do something to just put a jolt into it.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Hopefully you get your pass rushers back, and by having Devontae and CeeDee, Delvin Cook? No, I'm kidding. Maybe that means your offense is good enough to where the pass rushers work out. So, yeah, to your point, do something like that personnel-wise. Well, that's one. Yeah. And two, and I'm not kidding, and it's not about bits, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Bill Belichick can play the game of creating the illusion that when you walk in here things are all about football there is no one that's ever been better than that because no one should have ever smelled their own farts more than the New England Patriots. You know, two iterations of the Tom Brady career. We've looked at that before. Like, he's had two halves of a career that would be both Hall of Fame careers. But, you know, both of them were kind of two different little dynasties. And that's a guy that can keep everybody. Everybody's making all the money here.
Starting point is 01:05:09 That is the whole goal. If you're a Dallas Cowboy, you want the marketing money, you want the endorsements, you want that second big contract. If you're Dak, you want the third. Everybody, once they make the money, well, that was the goal. We made the money. Micah Parsons talks about it all the time. I mean, he does lip service to wanting to win, but he wants that big contract.
Starting point is 01:05:33 And he's going to get it too. Somehow Belichick can still instill that you are here for football when you get in this door with me, where I don't think Mike McCarthy carries that. this door with me where I don't think Mike McCarthy carries that and if there's anyone that could make these guys stand up straight like you're watching McCarthy lose the team right now yes you're watching a team quit in the middle of games and what's the difference we're all still getting paid you know in the end, we'd probably lose that playoff game immediately anyway, whatever. Like, there's just no fear. There's no fear in that building
Starting point is 01:06:12 because everything is trickled down from Jerry. But even like Parcells did when he was here, Jerry still was Jerry, and they butted heads, but he got this thing back on track, and I think you need something like that. And I hate to be old, man, but it did kind of bother me that the Cowboys are getting hammered,
Starting point is 01:06:32 and Micah is just cutting it up on the sideline. It wasn't just him, but yeah, the shot of him and Lawrence was... And then Trayvon goes over there. I mean, you talked about the players wanting to run through a wall for Dan Campbell. He doesn't allow that, man. And that's not body language we see from good teams. That bothered me. And I don't know if it should.
Starting point is 01:06:55 They don't care, so why should you? It's just infuriating. I think it should bother you. It should. There's something to it. Look, the whole thing is a ruse. The whole thing is a game. We've talked about this before.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Yeah, wars are more important and healthcare and whatever. Okay, but we're in this game now. We're all playing it. And let's act the part, Romo, when you lose a game and it's not a big deal. I still got my... Like, let's play the part. We're all playing parts here and it does matter there's a lot of money on the line for these things and a lot of people are paying a lot of money to go see them play and let's just act like we're pissed in front
Starting point is 01:07:37 of the cameras at least do that and then go laugh when you get on the bus or whatever like let's let's let's play our parts here. They're not even doing that, and that's kind of insulting. It's interesting, too, the way that the whole media and information landscape has changed now. You know, I mean, I missed this when I was gone, but I've gone back and tried to listen to a lot of it. Just Trayvon on Micah's podcast, and they're kind of breaking down the league,
Starting point is 01:08:03 and it's great for us. I like knowing what the players think, but it's really hard for me to listen to two players sit there and shoot the shit about Jaden Daniels and what a baller he is like six days after Derrick Henry ran for like 1,800 yards
Starting point is 01:08:17 against him in one game. They're like, hey, let's sit down with a production company and read some fan duel ads while we talk about the NFC West or something. It's just weird. Well, and we played the audio last week. He had Darius Slay on his podcast. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:33 And how about not have an eagle on your podcast during the season? It's a different league, yeah. And I don't want to be old man guy either. But it's hard when it looks like there are guys out there who don't care. They shouldn't be allowed to do that. I mean, back in the 90s, they definitely all had the radio show and the this and the that. I know, but that's kind of like a 15-minute thing.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Right. It is different. You're not – It is different. Dan's right. I mean, the podcasts, all that stuff, I think once you're not on camera, whatever. It's just the world we live in. But Dan's right.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Somebody needs to be policing that BS of guys laughing when you're getting absolutely trounced. Who would do it here? That's the thing. Belichick would. That's the thing. That's what I'm saying. McCarthy's too.
Starting point is 01:09:22 He can at least do that. He's too jolly. And he will battle Jerry if need be. McCarthy's not battling Jerry. That... You want to bring back Dak? Or Zeke? Eh, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:09:34 We'll work around it. I mean, Jerry's... No! At least battle him on it. Parcells would. Do you get the feeling? He might lose him, but you'll at least battle. That needs to be a player thing, man.
Starting point is 01:09:46 What? Policing that stuff. Policing yourselves? That doesn't need to be a coach. What do we have a coach for? No, but think about it with Garrett. Should it be a player thing with your leader of your defense? He's the one laughing.
Starting point is 01:10:01 That's the one that's supposed to be walking over to other players saying, Hey, yes, that's the issue. Wipe that off your face. That's the one that's supposed to be walking over to other players saying, hey. Yes, that's the issue. Wipe that off your face. Where's Dak? I don't think Lawrence is free on that. Dak can't talk to them because they don't think Dak is as good as Micah Parsons. So Dak can't police Micah Parsons.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Micah Parsons doesn't think Dak's that good. I mean, in the Garrett era, Witten would do this. Yeah, he would. And it worked. Blake's right. It can be a player sometimes. But they don't have that guy right now.
Starting point is 01:10:32 The point is – It might have been Tyron. They do have that guy, but that guy is over there playing grab ass with everybody else. Yeah, that's true. I mean, they've got the guy of that talent. A couple of them. You think D-Law wouldn't be that guy? You think that Parsons wouldn't be that guy? They're the guys that are jacking off
Starting point is 01:10:49 because McCarthy doesn't instill a vision or an image of hardcore football winning man. He looks like a big Santa Claus over there that's just another mirror image of what is really cared about and you talked about that when you first brought up the cowboys was you know it's marketing and it's uh 93 000 people in our seats and how much money we can make that's why we've got we got a fucking indycar race coming all right oh yeah no broadcast got into that that's why i loved having
Starting point is 01:11:23 dan quinn here yeah at least you had even if it wasn't real, it looked kind of good. Yeah, it felt, hey, a little edgy here. Like you said, it's weird how Dan Campbell is that, but he's also an analytics darling. Yeah. Because usually you get one or the other. He's kind of the perfect coach in 2024. Mike Singletary was really good at yelling and firing you up,
Starting point is 01:11:44 but then he couldn't coach that down. Right. Chip Kelly had all these innovative ideas and everything, but his whole team hated him. Yeah. Like, really hated him. Black Sox. That's right.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Making him do the smoothies. Yeah. I don't know how this gets better, because even if they get – like Parsons and Lawrence yesterday, they still lose that game by two touchdowns, maybe more. I brought a watermelon to practice. That's the thing. That's why I'm saying, like, let's look at the offense.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Yeah. Like, yeah, the defense certainly needs to be better, but the offense has to hang in these games. That's the point. Your defense sucks now. You have to know that. Yeah, I know. You got to hang.
Starting point is 01:12:22 And I know that. You got to score, and you got to score a lot. They're a pass first team. So stop establishing the run. Stop this. They're a pass first team. You know what? Have Belichick walk in here and say.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Zeke. Wait, you were on my team last year and you suck. You're cut immediately. Yeah. What does that do to the room? You hire Belichick and the first thing he does is get rid of Zeke. Like, because no more friends being on the roster here. What is this four-foot-two running?
Starting point is 01:12:54 No. Well, our scouting department guy had a son. I don't care who he's related to. It was a cool story. He cried. He's gone. Like, what do we have? How do I use that?
Starting point is 01:13:03 He might say, Trey Lance, man, you're one of my four best offensive weapons. I'll figure out how to use you somehow. Man, when they get down to, like, fourth and short, it just pains me that he's not an option. Because it couldn't be worse. Right? Why is Cooper Rush there? He's only there to mop up in one way or another.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Yeah. So why not have Trey Lance in there and put in a couple of things for him? So, again, I agree with you on they pass first, agree with the booth, but Dowdle's decent. And they gave him two carries in the first half coming off one of
Starting point is 01:13:38 his better games. That's really weird. And maybe his best game. You think he's established? Yeah. And Zeke gives up with more carries. And he's just terrible. When you think he's established, yeah. And Zeke gives up with more carries. And he's just terrible, dude. You were pointing out yesterday, the one thing that they told us Zeke could do for the last five years, they weren't even having him do that.
Starting point is 01:13:57 No. It's Lipke now. And obvious passing downs for pass protect. Oh, yeah. Pick up the blitz. Zeke's great at that. No. He's not even there doing that.
Starting point is 01:14:09 By the way, if Belichick does come in here, Lipke's super safe. That guy plays the game the right way. You know what I mean. A little lunch pail? Yep, sure is. But, yeah, I mean, they'll switch into a Zeke drive, and they'll just run him four times. And then, hey, it's third and long.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Well, hey, look, Lamb and Dak bailed us out. Good, we moved the chains. Let's go back to Zeke. It's almost like Zeke met with McCarthy and said, man, I don't know what I'm doing. Don't worry, we'll get you the ball. Well, we're definitely going to get into that. We're definitely going to get into that.
Starting point is 01:14:41 We'll take care of you. Because we said it during the stream yesterday. Like, oh, hey, look, it's Clarence Hill, new Cow care of you. Because we said it during the stream yesterday. Like, oh, hey, look, it's Clarence Hill, new Cowboys offensive coordinator. Because Zika sucked all season. And yesterday, all of a sudden, hey, let's feed him the rock. Dowdle is a good – you don't even need a one and a two in the NFL. You just need two decent backs.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Dowdle could be that guy. Dowdle and Pollard would be fine. Okay, maybe you say Pollard's too expensive. Dowdle and Pollard would be fine. Okay, maybe say Pollard's too expensive. Dowdle and insert fourth-round draft pick from earlier this year. 100%. Would be fine. 100%. You're talking about Dowdle and King Henry? You're elite now.
Starting point is 01:15:14 But you don't need that. You could do almost – it would have been great. You could have had King Henry. It would have been great. But I'm saying they could have gotten by with better without having to pay Derrick Henry. There's a ton of options out there. They just settled on Zeke because they know him,
Starting point is 01:15:28 and now they can sell the number 15 jerseys. I think the same thing about Tolbert. Tolbert is improving, and I think he can be a good third wide receiver. But he's not a two. Well, let's mention Tolbert and the one big catch he didn't make. Oh, yeah. Once again, the sun comes into play. That was tough.
Starting point is 01:15:49 That was really tough. So is it a matter of for real? When they first designed it, did they not think where the sun rises and sets? Like they did not... There are two options. Have you ever heard the story about
Starting point is 01:16:04 where they put the old San Francisco Giants baseball stadium? No. Like when they were first moving out there, the Dodgers had moved out there, and it's like, oh, man, we all – somebody else got to go cash in on this. So it was another New York team that moved out there. And apparently they would go look at the site, and it was sunny and beautiful, and, you know, they would just check it here out there and apparently they would go look at the site and it was sunny and beautiful and uh you know they would just check it here and there and they're building the stadium and it's great and then it turns out once they started playing games there it was like 45 degrees it
Starting point is 01:16:36 was really windy and it was like the worst uh conditions in all of baseball this was their old stadium not where they play now. Is it Candlestick Park that they play? I don't know. The point is they never went there like in the evening during construction. They never went there at 7.30 or 8 o'clock. They always go like at noon or 2 or whatever. And, yeah, you know how the California weather can be.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Especially up there after that fog rolls in and leaves. It's cold. Well, and the wind. And I guess in San Francisco it's even worse. So, like, it turned into, like, the worst wind swirling, the worst park for hitters, all this kind of stuff. And so same thing, like, with the Cowboys. They never, like, sat and thought, okay, the field will go this way.
Starting point is 01:17:22 How will that affect? Where should we? Or did they and say, I love when the sun comes in that window. That's what I was going to say. How it bathes the whole stadium. As many engineers and smart people that they had working on designing that thing, that point had to have been brought up multiple times. Like all you got to do is kind of turn it and it'll be on the side
Starting point is 01:17:42 and it'll never affect you at all. And so it's one of those two things. Like, it's right in their eyes. The reason I'm inclined to believe it's the second thing and that they just really like the way that the pictures look, because you can take some dope pictures from field level there. Like, it looks like football being played in heaven, is because once they figured out it was a problem,
Starting point is 01:18:02 they haven't done anything to address it. Well, it's doubling down. So, yeah, I mean. But they literally do during the World Cup or the soccer games. During everything else. They have curtains. Yeah, they have curtains. They can close it off, and they just steadfastly refuse to during Cowboy Game.
Starting point is 01:18:18 I've been there to concerts before where the band is playing before the sun goes down, and that's drapes, man. Or, like Danny's saying, it's, again, like a lot of things are, whether it's Trayvon Diggs is like a microcosm for the way they play. It's Jerry, and it's a microcosm for how they are that he's like, look, I know I screwed this up. But I can't admit it. He's like, I cannot admit that now because everybody's been hammering me.
Starting point is 01:18:39 He's been asked, credit to the fan, dude. I listen to Jerry on their show sometimes. They don't, Jerry, and it's also credit to Jerry. They know they can ask him anything. He doesn't care, and they'll do it. I've heard him asked about the curtains, whether it was probably on the ticket before or back in the day. And he always gives an answer of like, hey, other teams have to play in it too.
Starting point is 01:19:01 And I'm like, yeah, but you have to play like seven more times in it. Right. So, and then I think when he retorts to that with like, yeah, so it's an advantage for us. When he's in a box, you'll see the curtains. Yeah, it depends on if Steven's running it. I don't know. Daddy would be turning over in his grave.
Starting point is 01:19:23 So, that's the thing is that they know they made that call. But, yes, to the point that we were making about, you know, Dowdell's decent but not good enough. Tolbert's decent but not good enough. They're starting two rookie offensive linemen. Their play caller feels like he's in a freaking senior citizens or, you know, a retirement home right now. The game has passed him so far by.
Starting point is 01:19:46 It feels a lot like the end of Garrett. It does feel like the end of Garrett. All of the running plays look old. We're not firing him. We'll just let the contract run out. So many routes that run short of the sticks. Hitches. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Which brings the question, what did you expect? Every writer I see writing about this now, like national guys that I read and follow, their editor will give them the, is it time for Dallas to panic? And most of them are like, the only reason you should be panicking is if you thought this team was going to be
Starting point is 01:20:18 as good or better than last year. Which I'm a fan too, so kind of as a joke, when we're picking divisions in Super Bowls, I'm always going to pick the Cowboys. But how can we spend three or four straight months being like, you know, it seems like they didn't do anything to get better and, in fact, did six or seven things to get worse and be like, they took steps back. They'll probably be better then.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Well, of course they're not. I think we bought into a lot of the stuff was the, hey, next guy up is going to have to step up. And, you know, a lot of these first and second year players are now second and third year. Right. And it has worked kind of well for them. And recent pass would say, hey, we drafted a lineman in the first round,
Starting point is 01:21:01 kind of later in the first round, and he kind of was ready to step right in. And then that's why we've kind of just assumed, oh, well, that'll kind of work again. And it's, you know, the results are not going to always be the exact same. And that's the thing. But, you know, the results on just letting people walk and not filling their shoes. I mean, they let Zeke walk at first, and then they elevated Pollard. And it was like, okay. It's actually pretty similar to the end of Zeke, Pollard. Pollard's never as good as Zeke was at his height.
Starting point is 01:21:33 But, you know, that's kind of the thought on Dowdell last year. It's like, hey, Dowdell looks okay. And you're right. Dowdell's a great second. Or perhaps with Pollard, a great one-two. Or fine, not great. Yeah, you can get by but fine but as the one and then a significant drop off after him that's not good and then it's really not good when you're treating the significant drop off as his peer as well this is kind of the same guy it's not it's not at all that again, first move, if you bring Belichick in,
Starting point is 01:22:08 you say you have personnel control over what you're coaching. And he says, well, that guy's gone right now. What does that message send to the team? Now we're here for football. Yeah. Even though they're here for sunglasses and marketing and meetings and all that kind of stuff also, and then the helicopter lands on their practice field.
Starting point is 01:22:28 It would never land again. That's the thing. At least let's pretend we're here for football. If Belichick wants music off, it'll be off, and you're just going to play some football. I just walk up here to the den, and Dan looks like Randy Marsh when the internet was out in the trailer. like Randy Marsh when the internet was out in the trailer.
Starting point is 01:22:50 The problem here is, with both of you clowns, is you know I'm right, that that would actually be something that could help this. I just, I worry. It would obviously be a great bit, but sometimes great bits like Kyrie can work. I just don't know the long-term viability of it. That's not what we're here for.
Starting point is 01:23:10 I'm not here to shape the next 10 years of the Cowboys. How about right now? Can this be salvaged? I think it can. It would take something like that. Again, I'm willing to say you want to take a shot with the Devontae Adams trade? Well, let's do that. Hey, how about something?
Starting point is 01:23:29 I feel like yesterday might have gotten him closer. And elevating Dalvin Cook is not the something I'm talking about. He's not even ready to play. Has anybody from the Cowboys organization, unbeknownst to anyone else, gotten on the phone or contemplated getting Belichick just on the phone and saying, hey, dude, what would you do if you were here right now? I bet the back channels have been, I bet that's happened. And they're evaluating his response.
Starting point is 01:23:56 And he's probably evaluating them. He's already said there's enough talent to win here. Oh, that's so backhanded. And that's what he said publicly. That's what he said publicly that's what he said publicly i love that right no that's that's basically saying i could do this thing yeah i could get like 30 wins in the next two years and pass down chula i'm just throwing it out there so horny hey own well let's uh talk about own well that is the place that can help you save
Starting point is 01:24:21 on your property taxes you might have already got that bill in the mail for 2024, and you're like, whoa, wait, what? OwnWell, when you hook up with them, Blake's done this, right? He actually went to the website. How long does it take to put in your info? They say sign up is in three minutes, and that's pretty damn spot on.
Starting point is 01:24:41 It doesn't take very long at all. How much does it cost to do it? It is free to sign up, and you only pay if you save money. There you go. So if they save you money on your property taxes, instead of you spending hours filing your own property tax appeal and preparing for an in-person hearing, which I have done in the past, which is a complete beating and a losing proposition.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Am I a lawyer? I don't know. We might have got like $100 off. It was like a pity. Like, well, you came all the way out here. We're not going to give you anything significant, but we'll just, you know, here's $50. You literally lost money on your expenses and time.
Starting point is 01:25:18 And time and all that. I did my hearing over the phone, and I saved $10 only because they wanted to round down to the nearest big number. Well, they have tax experts and deep county-level relationships. How about an 86% hit rate? And for the other 14, oh, what? You're out nothing. They save you an average of $1,148 for all of their customers.
Starting point is 01:25:43 You know, I tell you guys that I always look at the Google review number for any restaurant. I'm not fooling with anything lower than a 5.5. Or excuse me, a 4.5. OwnWell, 4.7. Okay. Wow. Also, the amount they will take out of your savings is 25%. Everyone else is at 40% or 50%.
Starting point is 01:26:02 Do your own research. Check it out. And then you'll go to ownwell.com. Ownwell.com or you can go to ownwell.com slash partner slash the dumb zone. Like there's a fancy landing page with our logo and stuff on it. Nice. So ownwell.com. Thank you, Ownwell.
Starting point is 01:26:20 And if you ever want to find all these. If you ever want to find all these promo codes we throw out, that is at dumbzone.com as well. Might be a licensing problem. No, we're fine. We'll get to that later. We're fine. I think we're doing great. Let's get to a little audio before the break.
Starting point is 01:26:51 You want to do that? Yeah. Now I'm going to let you pick whether you'd rather hear game audio or not game audio. Yeah, I got some post-game stuff. What do you got, Blake? Let's start with McCarthy um you were talking about wanting to run through a wall
Starting point is 01:27:13 for Dan Campbell and just instilling confidence and wanting to turn this thing around and they were asking McCarthy like I guess he was just saying you're not going to win if the turnover margin is minus five in your favor. Tough. Romo did it once, though.
Starting point is 01:27:32 Buffalo? Buffalo. Night game. His response was pretty strange. Our turnover ratio is as low as I can ever remember it here. That's not who I am as a head coach, and that's not where we invest our time. That's not where we invest our – I mean, you have to have ROI.
Starting point is 01:27:52 I don't care what level of football you play. Football is not going to change. And that's why they call it football. And we're not taking care of the football, and we're definitely not taking it away. So we need to improve there. It's pretty confusing. Good point.
Starting point is 01:28:08 That's why they call it football. Well, and it's football. Because that's the thing you need. You've got to keep it. You don't want them having it. And when they have it, you want to get it. Let's dissect this again. You want to have ROI.
Starting point is 01:28:22 You've got to have ROI. I'm going to hear Coach explain football to a toddler again. This is why they call it football. What level of football you play. Football is not going to change, and that's why they call it football. We're not taking care of the football, and we're definitely not taking it away. So we need to improve there. So the reason they call it football is because it's not going to change.
Starting point is 01:28:45 What? It doesn't make any sense at all. That's like he's getting freaking airborne Jerry disease. He is walking the plank, man. All right, the next two. Yeah, and unlike Dak, he's not guaranteed for next year or the next five or whatever. These next two are from Dak.
Starting point is 01:29:04 This one, they were asking him about uh you know is this kind of like the worst start to a season you've had or the worst and most down you felt about a season uh and he brings up a situation that uh could be fixed according to Jake no I mean we've got to get better simply simply and obviously we're going into the bye week. I mean, we're three and three, six games under us, a long season to go. I've been in worse situations, I guess you can say, in teams and then got it going. Teams that got on a streak, I think about 2018,
Starting point is 01:29:39 that yeah, it's about us sticking together. And I think after a loss like this, no better time than to test the character of that. What happened in 2018? Is that Amari? It's Amari. Oh, they traded for a Raiders receiver. So it wasn't that we just kind of had to get it together,
Starting point is 01:29:59 get our stuff together. No, it's a giveaway, a first-round pick. And we had to add a significant talent to the roster. Yeah. Because I need that. I have a Dak thing, too, if you're done, Blake. You want one more? I've just got one more.
Starting point is 01:30:15 But, yeah, I don't know. We did this last week, but the circumstances are eerily similar. Division still right there. Yeah, and yes. are eerily similar. Division's still right there. Yeah, and yes. So, just do it. And the second thing, they've... What do you think has more of an impact?
Starting point is 01:30:36 Devontae Adams or Belichick? For real. Just for the rest of this year? Yeah. Obviously in the next couple years. I think Devontae. Devontae? Yeah, but it's close. I mean, the Lions doubled CD all day.
Starting point is 01:30:52 What if you kept McCarthy as OC? No. I'll let Belichick call the plays. McCarthy is, dude, he's so cooked. Not to say he's a bad coach, but just every week you watch the NFL and it just becomes more and more apparent. Like, there's a different, you know, it's like watching Tom Thibodeau in the NBA. Like, that'll work.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Just a vibe. But what about these other guys that are reinventing the way that we play offense? Well, and that was the thought of, well, we still have the CEO head coach, but now I've got this young, you know, Kellen Moore. Although Kellen Moore never really showed somewhere else that he was this innovative mind. He was young. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:39 But it was also different, you know. Yeah, I still think I'd take Kellen Moore, but who knows? Well, they asked Dak, what needs to change? Nick Harris, Fort Worth Star-Telegram. There was a clear discrepancy as far as physicality goes between you guys and the Lions. How can you be a more physical football team as a season? Yeah, we've got to practice harder. Simple as that. You can't turn it on on Sundays. I mean, I know I've said that before to the guys.
Starting point is 01:32:09 We've just got to reiterate that every day at practice in our preparation. We've got to practice harder, prepare harder, come out here and play harder. And that's a choice. Coach McCarthy always says the time. Physicality and the that's a choice. Coach McCarthy always says it, Tom. Physicality and the finish is a choice, and we've got to choose to do it better than the other team. And so when he said that, I remembered back a couple weeks ago,
Starting point is 01:32:35 he was kind of harping on the same thing. Yeah, the practice. Yeah. And then I thought – I was trying to – who was he talking to? Didn't McCarthy say that too? Yes. We played as well as we practiced this week. Yeah. So they're not practicing well, and I was thinking, man, this must be a big deal and i remembered nick harris forward start
Starting point is 01:32:48 telegram um how about the owner doesn't fly their helicopter and land next to the practice field what i heard and that's interesting that's what you took out of that clip play the question one more time at the beginning blake nick har Harris, Fort Worth Star-Telegram. There was a clear discrepancy as far as physicality goes between you guys and the Lions. How can you be a more physical football team as a season? What followed, in my opinion, was Dak word soup
Starting point is 01:33:15 because he can't just say, well, fuck, I don't know, dude. That ain't us. Next question. I don't know. Look at them, look at us. My one Dak thing. But who is that an indictment of? McCarthy.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Wait, which part? His answer? You've got to practice harder. Players. Well, who's in charge of the players? I would think it's an indictment of McCarthy and the team leaders. Dak. I think there's a big team leaders problem.
Starting point is 01:33:45 And now we're taking it. Des. Look, Des was one of the reasons those guys did practice. That's what I'm saying, is that he would go at people, and they would go at him, and it was. Yeah, CD's not that guy. No. No, he's not.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Micah's not that guy. God, I really thought. Kevontae Turpin isn't that. Tyrant's gone. I have to keep referencing. Zeke is a mascot. Unless you're dating Turpin. What's your expectations of Micah to be that guy, kind of?
Starting point is 01:34:14 Yeah, but I always thought he was just a little bit too goofy. And maybe he could still get there. Also, he's on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know that he's picking fights with Jake Ferguson, whereas Dez would be – Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:29 He'd get into it with the defensive backs. Oh, yeah. And those guys would have to practice at the level that you actually play games because Dez is a maniac. Yeah. And that was one of the good things about Dez. Yeah. When you take the bad with the good.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Yeah. That's one of the reasons that – Anyway, the indictment is of either his head coach or himself because you're the two guys we look to to kind of lead this team. And now, apparently what they're both saying to us all is that, well, they're not listening to us behind closed doors, so now I'm taking it to the podium. I'm going to now say publicly that it's other people's fault but mine.
Starting point is 01:35:10 That's basically what McCarthy and Dak have both done when they're ripping the practice effort. What if, while I'm doing that, I sort of throw a little hand wave in there and do, it starts with me? Right. Anytime you want to just flame your co-workers,
Starting point is 01:35:30 it's kind of like I used to this used to frustrate me. Sorry, mom, if you're listening or whatever. When we would fuck up, she was like, look, I'm just not being hard enough on you guys. And I'm like, I don't think that's it. I feel like you're being plenty hard enough.
Starting point is 01:35:47 That's the McCarthy or Dak move of like, look, nobody cares. We're not practicing hard enough. We're soft. And it starts with me. I get it. But nobody cares. I love that. But he's just saying that.
Starting point is 01:35:57 I mean, when we played the Brady clip where Baker said no one had fun with Brady, he was like, oh, I didn't know this was daycare. I didn't know this was Disneyland. That's a guy that'll get on you. The guys at the top are not like that. And the worst part, you just paid them all, and you're about to pay Micah, so you're going to be stuck with this same cancerous group for a while.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Dak was asked about the McCarthy future, and he gave a Dak answer. That's my guy. Everybody in there will go to war with him. It's not really worth playing, but it's exactly what you think it was. I thought the very beginning of his press conference was interesting because on the first drive, obviously, they kicked a field goal. The second drive, they drove down.
Starting point is 01:36:38 I think they had a third and five from the seven maybe. That's when he threw the pick. So they were moving the ball a little bit but i think i had a different review of the opening two drives than he did how do you explain that performance can you talk about your play today um yeah i mean start off first two drives uh felt great um go down get a field goal second drive feel good as well get down there um anticipated a little too much i'm a little too early. Guy made a great play initially driving on the flat.
Starting point is 01:37:08 He's got the flat in man. Threw it early with the zero blitz. It was protected, however. Let it hang a little bit. Guy comes off of that. Makes a great catch. Can't turn the ball over in the red zone. And then from there.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Robot. I am a robot. I am saying things that I've been programmed to say. After that, for us to build off of, to get anything going, and very frustrating. Okay, so. Sorry. No, no, no, you're right.
Starting point is 01:37:29 It was all there. He kept saying things that you say. The first drive, they had a nice big chunk play on the CD one-handed catch. 27 yards. Got upfield, right? Yes. Which was after, I believe, what should have been an interception. That was a couple plays later. Okay, my bad. No, actually, right? Yes. Which was after, I believe, what should have been an interception. That was a couple plays later.
Starting point is 01:37:45 Okay, my bad. No, actually, you're right. The second play was what should have been an interception. The third play was CD. Luckily, it fell. He rifled one to Ferguson that was completely covered, bounced off of his hands into Daudo, who happened to be just standing there and able to keep running.
Starting point is 01:38:02 That was not a successful play in any way other than the result, which was luck. So that should have been setting up a third nine right there because that was on second and nine. They get the big gain to CD. He threw a pick. Now, there was a holding, and maybe the holding is why the pick happened, but just noting that.
Starting point is 01:38:23 Then they had first and 10 from the 18, and they kicked a field goal from the 16. You got points, but I don't know that I'm like, as he said, first two drives, feeling great. You know what looked like who was feeling great was the Lions. When on their first drive, they were like, how about we do this in six plays? How about we do this in seven plays?
Starting point is 01:38:43 And we just ram it right down your throat. Would that be cool? No, it was five plays. How about we do this in seven plays and we just ram it right down your throat? Would that be cool? No, it was five plays. They went 70 yards in five plays in two minutes and 15 seconds to go up 7-3. Dallas gets the ball back. Hey, first two drives were feeling great. They did move the ball decently. They picked up a penalty on a defensive
Starting point is 01:39:01 holding when Dak was sacked. Again, maybe the holding caused the sack, but take it for what it's worth. They had a first and 10 at the 28. Zeke ran for one yard, then Zeke ran for three yards, and now, lo and behold, it's third and six. Holy shit. Turpin picks it up with a 12-yard gain. Now it's first and 10 at the 12,
Starting point is 01:39:18 and they throw a pick on third and five from the seven. That's not great right up until the interception it's not like well if I don't throw that pick on 3rd and 5 if that ball were incomplete on 3rd and 5 and it wasn't a pick they just would have kicked another field goal on 4th and 5 from the 7 and so now they are down 7-6
Starting point is 01:39:37 and his assessment of those first two drives is we're cooking we're feeling great I'm like it. We're feeling great. I'm like, no. It's pulling teeth for you guys to pick up a first down because it's third and six all the time and nobody can get open unless it clangs off someone's helmet.
Starting point is 01:39:56 You're like, holy shit, the ball fell in my hands. God forbid, score a touchdown rather than a field goal when you're down within the 20. I just can't with them right now, boys. You want to keep going with audio or you want to drain some veins? I want to drain some veins. I also want to tell you about Sean Kernan. Scene.
Starting point is 01:40:21 The great scene. That is the great scene. Sit-in scene. Sit-in scene with 360 Wealth Management, dallasfinancialplanner.net. They are best at helping people who have accumulated meaningful savings, are looking to delegate their investment management.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Are you good at your own investment management, Jake? I know nothing about investment or management, so no. You want to be open to sharing your whole financial picture and that you want to develop a long-term relationship with your advisor. That, we would like to say, is seen. Or Sean, which I guess most people call him Sean Kernan. 360 Wealth Management. He will come to you if you need it.
Starting point is 01:41:06 His office is in Southlake. He is there to help you with your long-term goals. And he is independent, owns his own practice. No one is the boss of him except for you. And he says also the compliance people who could put me out of business on a whim if they joke about moosing or the Chisholm Trail. But he won't do that. No.
Starting point is 01:41:27 No. No. But, yeah, go to that website. He says he'll come to you also, by the way. Did you already say that? I did. Oh, my bad. That's all right, though.
Starting point is 01:41:34 I didn't notice that last time on the copy. I think it's an important enough point to point out again. I legit need that from just about everybody who's going to help me with anything. Yeah, you got a lot going on. Could you just stop by here? Maybe we can meet in the middle? He will absolutely do that. Then he'll zoom in with you if you need him to do that.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Is it one of his copy points that he's not going to die anytime soon? I believe it is. I love that one. Pretty confident. Yeah. That's the kind of confidence you need when it comes to your portfolio right there. Yeah. It's 360 Wealth Management, and it's dallasfinancialplanner.net.
Starting point is 01:42:07 Go look at the website, man. Look at the picture of people there. They're smiling and stuff. He's a guy that I would trust. Don't you hate going to those financial planner websites, and everybody's all downtrodden? I know, right? They're holding the cup, begging for change.
Starting point is 01:42:21 No, no, no. These people, look how happy and wealthy they look. You could smell them through the picture. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you get with Sean. Yeah. All right, for our YouTube streamers, live streamers, we're going to take a few minutes break here.
Starting point is 01:42:37 Otherwise, we'll be back quite shortly. The Dunza, Dunza, Dunza, Dunza. shortly. The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. All right. Veins have drained. Stuff. All right. How many is this, Dan?
Starting point is 01:43:07 What do you mean? How many fingers are you holding up? Yep. Three. Zero. That's going to be the record of your Dallas Stars. The gold tending right now, guys. Don't fuck me. Should we just get into that? No Wedgwood, no problem.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Yeah, but we saw the importance of having a second Tendi you can go to, right? And that's what they did last night. Shut out the Kraken, Casey to Smith. Boom. Tendi. I thought we were fully appropriate. Aren't you guys sports bros? Are we on Tendi?
Starting point is 01:43:44 He learned that watching SportsCenter for a month. Yeah. Remember those two jack wagons that are coming up with new lingo? Did you wake up and watch? Utah pulls the Tendi. No, I didn't watch Stephen A. Orr get up this morning, but I did see when I was pulling audio on my little side recommended thing, because they know me so well,
Starting point is 01:44:04 a clip called Stephen A. Crashes get up show to gloat about the Cowboys. So that's happening. I don't know. Don't really have anything else on it. They are trying to do sports radio stuff, aren't they?
Starting point is 01:44:18 They really are. That's what I was saying. It really has turned into that. Interesting. All I have to do now is sue Stephen A. Today is Stephen A.'s birthday. Thank you, Blake. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 01:44:32 Good for him. Yeah, the day after Jerry's birthday. How about that? It's pretty cool, man. And yesterday was Quincy Carter's birthday, of course. And a friend of his is a listener of ours, and they said that they got a hold of him. He has changed his number, and he's willing to join us.
Starting point is 01:44:51 Really? I was given his number. Okay. All right. We can book him for the very vague near future. Mm-hmm. Because we need to know what Quincy Carter's thinking these days, I guess. Do you want to do the Michael Irvin piece of audio first before we do Jerry?
Starting point is 01:45:13 Yeah. A part of my recommended when I fired up YouTube was Michael Irvin has a YouTube channel now? Yes. Jump on board. Somebody are following us. I saw Michael Irvin responds to 38-point loss to the Lions. Yes. I got time.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Okay. He wasn't as mad as I thought, but the way he ended it was hilarious to me. Here's the last minute of his show. I don't know what they're talking about. How the hell they're going to fix this problem. I the last minute of his show. I don't know where he is. He's in a bathroom of a gym. The glare on his glasses.
Starting point is 01:46:01 I know you hear all them beans. I'm sure everybody texting and tweeting in right now trying to say Negro, y'all got drones. We hear all them beans, I'm sure everybody texting and tweeting in right now trying to say, Negro, y'all got drones. Ha! What? Yeah. For what? Yes, we do.
Starting point is 01:46:21 I'm not answering that shit. They can beep all day. Won't get me. And I may even call in a work mark with that thing they call the COVID. That's fantastic. The thing they call the COVID. Yeah, I don't have a clue. And I may even call in a work mark with that thing they call the COVID. The COVID.
Starting point is 01:46:45 Man, there's a lot there. That's great. And I may even call it a work mark with that thing they call the COVID. The COVID. The COVID. Man, there's a lot there. That's great. For the audio only crowd. Yeah, obviously the music sounds like he's at a club. Yeah. Maybe the bathroom of a club. Or the bathroom of his house.
Starting point is 01:47:04 But that looked like, see, I think he's at home. I think he's having a party. Because that looked like a real... That makes sense. Cowboy party. Yeah. Here, let's... That looked like a real... I better fire up some YouTube right now.
Starting point is 01:47:12 The quality of the video is amazing. You know. Sure. A couple Lone Stars. The quality of the video is amazing. In the background, there are like pillows. Don't you know I know some clubs are going to be the lounge type. But the computer glare on his glasses is like covering up his right eye.
Starting point is 01:47:34 He looks different too. He looks great. He looks great. I'm not saying – All right. I don't know. Hold on real quick. I don't fault anybody for what they use to get skinny.
Starting point is 01:47:53 I think Michael Irvin is probably just working out. But you know about the – Ozempic. The Ozempic epidemic? Yeah. When's the last time you saw Newey, bro? Really? Did he Oz Epicant?
Starting point is 01:48:05 To your previous thoughts that Newey had eaten the phone, that Newey threw up a Newey. Yeah. And you can tell because if you watch his show, they still show an open package where he's fat Newey. So you can see it very side by side. Newey is skinny, skinny now. And I don't think that happens without a little nudge.
Starting point is 01:48:32 Like his entire body type has changed? Very much so. Yeah. That's cool. I support him. In what way? In all of his endeavors. How do you support him?
Starting point is 01:48:45 So, remember we're on Fox. We're not on Fox, but our studios downtown are at the Fox 4 studios. And because we do DZTV. So, please check that out if you can find it. DVR it. If you can find it. DVR it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:10 And apparently if you had set the DVR for Dumb Zone on Channel 27 in the past, they've like officially changed the name and they didn't keep it the Dumb Zone 2. So you now have to resubscribe to DZTV. A small price to pay. There we are. We're rebranding. Maybe DZTV is what we'll be in the future. But nobody can really tell.
Starting point is 01:49:38 So, I mean, if I had a time machine, I would go forward a few years just to find out what we're calling ourselves and then back. Like I had a one-time use, that's what I would use it for. I'd sign Derek Henry. But that's what I would do. Sorry, Europe, you're on your own. But part of our relationship with them, we're putting a show on their TV. They're hooking us up with some studio space.
Starting point is 01:49:59 It all seems to be great. But what else is great is sometimes they get some behind-the-scenes audio and video that we can't get. The only recording I could find of this elsewhere was pretty difficult to understand. But Jeff Kolb is always on the case down there after those games. They got a camera guy as well. Maybe a lady. Who knows? They're doing all sorts of stuff now.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Can women record video? It's undetermined, but if they can, certainly Fox 4 would not hesitate. Yeah, it's like a phone. Yeah, anyway, we got some behind-the-scenes audio slash video from them. So let's go to Jerry. This is about five minutes. We can pause it if we wish. But we're going to talk changes because he was intimating.
Starting point is 01:50:54 So he did probably about a 15-minute post-game thing down in the bowels of the stadium before he goes into the locker room to whatever, entertain his friends. Jerry's not happy. But no one asked him about the sun. That's my one note for all the media. Would have liked to hear one little something about the curtains. But I'm sure we've done it a hundred times and we know what he's going to say. But same thing.
Starting point is 01:51:24 It's another big tough loss at home. And he's kind of intimating something's got to change, something. And that's where we pick it up here. What kind of changes, if any, would you be open to considering? I don't know about which changes, what changes. But obviously we've got to come in with a different demeanor. We've got to come in with different execution. We've got to come in with a different approach.
Starting point is 01:51:53 Certainly if we were going to play Detroit again, but we've got to do that in general. We've done some good things this year, but we've had a lot of things, which is football. You have a lot of things that you can work on better. I think it was the feeling of the team having fun at our expense. The team is having fun at our expense. As you probably all know, the Fords are some of my favorite folks.
Starting point is 01:52:23 There are, period, not just international football. The owners of the – Yeah, sure. So, if that was going to happen on a personal basis to me, I think I'd rather have it at their hands than anybody. Of course, their coach is a guy that we think a lot of around here as well. They've done a heck of a job. Pause it.
Starting point is 01:52:42 So, what he's saying is if someone has to be kicking our ass so bad that they're laughing about it on the field, like they're doing reverses or throw it to the big man or whatever, the hook and ladder thing they did. Yeah. Hook and lateral. I don't know what you call it. I think both are okay.
Starting point is 01:53:00 I'd want it to be the Fords. You couldn't find a better team to beat my ass. So they're like laughing when the official calls it back because of a very slight infraction. They're even laughing on the field like, well, it doesn't matter. We'll just score a different way. If any team can pull our pants down and embarrass us like that,
Starting point is 01:53:18 I'm glad it's the Fords. That's so bad. ...prize sport out here today. And while they've been doing a heck of a job we haven't done a good job so we've got to address that and recognize that, that's what happened You talk about it ...changes be restricted to personnel
Starting point is 01:53:36 and not hotel equipment Well, I don't know that I know that automatically says well, what are you going to change? Well, maybe change would be just try harder, bear down harder. What? I'm going to do that tonight. 30 minutes, add another push.
Starting point is 01:53:54 I'm not ready to talk about changes or those kinds of things right now. I do think that we've got personnel out there, especially on the offensive side of the ball, on a game like this that can play better than we played today. Detroit had a lot to do with it. Pause it. Hell, yeah. What are we analyzing here?
Starting point is 01:54:14 So what we have is one change we can make is to try harder. Push. Add 30 minutes to practice. But this is inevitable after when I pay everybody as much as I'm paying them. That's why he pointed out the offensive side of the ball. I haven't paid Micah just yet, and we got a lot of injuries. But I had two of the highest-paid guys in the entire league out there. So, yeah, nine points ain't going to do it.
Starting point is 01:54:40 That's what's got to change. And maybe they have to practice 30 more minutes. I don't know. Maybe they have to practice 30 more minutes. I don't know. Maybe they have to be at training camp. I don't know. The point is that, you know, let's just bear down. Maybe they play in the preseason a little. Maybe they play in the preseason.
Starting point is 01:54:56 All right, sorry. Let's keep going. Right now, I do think that we've got personnel out there, especially on the offensive side of the ball, on a game like this that can play better than we played today. Detroit had a lot to do with it. Our holes in our defense had a lot to do with that. That means the coaching isn't using that. But let me say this.
Starting point is 01:55:18 What you're listening to is a family member talking. You're not looking at somebody on the outside packing his bags and leaving. So the address here will be from within, with each other, have each other's backs. We're well aware of the climate out here right now about our team. We're going to have to work through this. Is the head coach something that you're evaluating during this? No. Detroit is clearly one of the top teams in the NFC. How can you make, is there a change that can be made to make a 38 point deficit drawn closer if you don't replace? I'd start right there. I wouldn't use the word barely one of the top teams on Detroit anymore if you're in my shoes. They are far cry from being barely one of the tops.
Starting point is 01:56:06 I think they are very possibly one of the tops. I think Baltimore is a top team. We've had the good fortune of playing both of them out here. What about New Orleans? We can't play better in any phase. We can't play like that in any phase and be where our fans want us to be and where i want us to be i believe your roster has the talent to be one of those top teams as it's assembled right now i do why good question good question jeff what is it pause it hey so he just does why
Starting point is 01:56:38 i just do just feel it do you believe the? So clearly we're trying to set him up, and he's doing a good job of it. Yeah. I think on offense we could be playing better. We could be playing better today. Not like we could be playing better if I made a trade or if I would have signed Derrick Henry, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, kept Tyron Smith, whatever. We could be playing better right now.
Starting point is 01:57:02 That's throwing it at McCarthy. And, yes, there clearly he was great reporting there. Is that Jeff Cole? Yeah. Okay. Do you think your offense right now – Do you have the talent? Have the talent.
Starting point is 01:57:17 Oh, yeah. We're all leading to the big question. Okay, let's keep going. Do you have the talent to be one of those top teams as it's assembled right now? I do. Why? I just do. But, okay, let's keep going. Do you have the talent to be one of those top teams as it's assembled right now? I do. Why? I just do.
Starting point is 01:57:29 Period. Hey, what was that? Okay. It keeps happening at home, you know, I guess four straight, but three this season. How disappointing is that that it's happening at your place? You had a home-field advantage for a while. Very, very.
Starting point is 01:57:45 We all know you should feel better at home. I think that is an advantage. You don't travel, sleep in your own bed. No, you don't. You go to hotels. It should be an advantage at home, and that's one of the first things you look at. Okay, how come we're not playing better when we've got the advantage against the other team? We get to wake up in the morning and we're in familiar territory.
Starting point is 01:58:08 All that's stuff to think about. What if he doesn't know they stay in a hotel before the game? My message is I know you don't need to hear me say this, but I'm well aware that we're in the proverbial shh-er right now. Jerry, what would it take you to evaluate making a head coaching change in season? Oh, I haven't even considered that. I'm not considering that. Just so you're clear, I'm not considering that.
Starting point is 01:58:33 I wouldn't be a hypothetical in that matter. Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you? No. Okay, well, I'm not going to hypothetical with you about when I'd consider coaching change in light of the timing we're sitting here with. I'm not at all. Okay.
Starting point is 01:58:50 Pause it. So that's Jeff Kolb right there. That's talking out both sides of his mouth. I'm not considering it, but even if I was, I wouldn't tell you. But I'm not. Right. But maybe I am. Right.
Starting point is 01:59:02 No, he's absolutely considering it. He's considering all options right this second. And you better. What happened to Jerry of the offseason? I've got to keep fire under these guys. That's a good point. I've got Dan Quinn here. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:59:17 I'm bringing another head coach. They could be the – We forget that Rich Eisen interview or whoever it was where he's like, yeah, I tell Dan all the time, like, maybe someday it's you. Yeah. Now all of a sudden it's – That's interesting. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:59:31 He's – I mean, maybe that's a tell on when he's really considering it, he's saying I'm not considering it. Yeah. And when he's not considering, he's saying – because that was all even later he admitted. That was a smokescreen. Yeah. I was just doing that to throw everybody off. I'm Jerry. I love being on first take. considering he's saying because that was all even later he admitted that was a smoke screen yeah i
Starting point is 01:59:45 was just doing that to throw everybody off i'm jerry i love being on first take i love doing all that i love espn and again i'm not sure how well that actually helps to motivate a coach but um what about when you do that with your quarterback and when you do it you end up having no money to sign free agents in the offseason because you were doing some sort of... That might be part of the plan, too, because at that time, we didn't have money to sign free agents. Now we do, but darn it. You just can't do that now, man.
Starting point is 02:00:21 Yeah, that's as bad as it gets. Here, I'm going to play you a little bit of this. You know, it was Jerry's birthday yesterday. Is there more of that, Dan, or is that it? That's about it. That's good. I wanted to end on the Jeff Cobb high there. Play a little bit of this for you.
Starting point is 02:00:39 Someone sent me the Fox NFL pregame yesterday. You know, Fox and Jerry go hand-in-hand, right? Dating back to when Fox got the NFL. That's a Jerry thing. He's real tight. Jimmy's up there. Terry Bradshaw's up there, local guy. No one loves Jerry more than the Fox crew in the TV world.
Starting point is 02:01:00 So they had him on, on the field early in the morning when the game was, they're out putting stuff on the field to talk birthday with Jerry. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Well, guys, I'll tell you, I'm proud to be here. It's a birthday day, Jimmy, and I kind of remember us walking in this place almost 35, 36 years ago. And so I don't know about you, but I'm not going to let this old man in. That's a song.
Starting point is 02:01:33 That's good. Good song. Hey, Jerry, you and I go way, way back. And I know you know how to win. You know, back at Arkansas, you know, we were part of an undefeated national championship team, a great football team. We were great friends back then. We won a couple of Super Bowls together.
Starting point is 02:01:54 Don't you just love this too, by the way? We're kind of revising history here. Kind of? Yeah. Understand that? I think you hated him until he threw you in that ring of honor last year. 500 coaches or whatever it is. He did limit it to we were good friends back then.
Starting point is 02:02:08 That's true. And really the last three years, you have won a bunch of games in a regular season. Do you think when you get your injured stars back on the field, that will give you the boost to have some playoff success? He's on for a birthday fluff interview. And that's the big reason that I went ahead and extended Dak Prescott. And candidly, that's the reason that we made Lamb one of the highest paid players in the game. What was the question? The question is, do you think when healthy, like you get these guys back –
Starting point is 02:02:40 Oh, that you're a contender. Right. So that's why we signed Seedy. Otherwise, we'd let them walk? Yeah, because at one point they were healthy, and he felt like they had a strong roster. And I just wanted to play that part in particular to go with your point, Dan, of like that didn't really answer the question,
Starting point is 02:02:54 but he just wanted to remind everybody that he just paid Dak and CeeDee. Yeah. Every chance he can get, he's going to mention that now. Oh, my God. Here's a little bit of uh the end of it we'll be able to score some points hey you know jerry you got all those injuries on defense michael strahan howie long here you're a deal maker what do you give me for them just for one afternoon well i'll tell you this you know uh strahan and howie came in here we
Starting point is 02:03:22 were doing this great celebration for Jimmy, naming the stadium after him, if you will, but candidly, we were down here. That's a subtle shot also. Like, Jesus, what are we going to do next? Name the stadium after the guy? Why not? It's all him. It's all.
Starting point is 02:03:40 And we were down at halftime, and the next thing I know, Howie's talking about how all this confusion's going on on the sideline. Well, hell, Howie, we brought him in so that we could make a big show for Jimmy while you're down there. Having fun. Boy, they're just laughing at everything. It was an amazing day, I can tell you that. It was. Well, we got to say.
Starting point is 02:03:59 I'll tell you. What? Well, Jerry, we know it's your 82nd birthday today. You said that earlier. We want to wish you a very happy birthday. Yes, happy birthday. And so on behalf of Fox Sports, we got a little something for you to celebrate, my friend. Happy birthday, Jerry, for everybody here at Fox Sports.
Starting point is 02:04:17 Happy birthday, Honor. Happy birthday, Jerry. First of all, this is very special. Let me tell you about Rowdy. I had to find Rowdy out with his truck one night, and he was in the road. Okay. I think he's about to tell the story again. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:04:32 Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. I didn't watch the very end of it. Let me see. I thought it was a cake. Yeah, it's just a cowboy's cake. Okay.
Starting point is 02:04:39 Yeah, it's just a cowboy's cake. You may not be familiar with the story of Rowdy. And Trump? Trucks. Oh, trucks. I thought he the story of rowdy and trump trucks oh trucks i thought he said trump in a press conference before this year i think it must have camp last year whatever he started talking about rowdy and would they ever give somebody the number zero because overshown war zero and he's like well you know that's rowdy's number he's like but then again you know
Starting point is 02:05:01 we've seen the rowdy van in a couple places where he wasn't supposed to be. And we were like, what the hell does that mean? And somebody hit us up and was like, dude, I know the guy who used to be rowdy. And he went to a strip club. In the rowdy truck? In the rowdy van. Not as rowdy. No, but he was in the van, though. And it was parked outside of one of those Northwest Highway strip clubs.
Starting point is 02:05:21 And Jerry's just joking around about it. He was like, I know what rowdy's doing with those super soakers. Good thing I'm not Rowdy. So Rowdy runs out a cake. Find Rowdy out with his truck one night, and he was in the wrong place in one of these bars. And he's supposed to be out here doing birthday parties. And I brought him into the office and corrected him. He said, you know what?
Starting point is 02:05:44 I'll talk to Rowdy about it. So, Rowdy, don't you give me that Rowdy stuff anymore. All right. Thank you so much, Jerry. That was incredible. The more we hear that story, do you know how funny Jerry thought it was when someone told him about that? Yes.
Starting point is 02:05:58 He didn't care at all. 100%. Boss, we've got a situation. He's like, what happened? The Rowdy mobile was spotted at the experiment right now. The cocaine, the player cocaine, naked chicks in a hotel room, a murder, the scissor stabbing. This was the lightest thing that could have been. And they're like, it's rowdy.
Starting point is 02:06:15 And he's like, he's a pedo, isn't he? I knew it. They're like, no, I parked the rowdy SUV outside of Ecstasy. And he's like, fuck yeah. Rowdy, all right. So then things were downhill for Jerry from there yesterday. Let's do some viewer mail brought to you by. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:37 That's right. Lone Star Beer and Lone Star Light. They don't want you to forget Lone Star Light. They are perfect. Lone Star Beer, perfect with a tray of barbecue. They're just Texas. 140 years of brewing in Texas. Authentically Texan.
Starting point is 02:06:52 Crisp flavor. The national beer of Texas. Go check out, you know, wherever you buy your beer. They're going to have Lone Star and Lone Star Light. And they actually have awesome merch. If you go to their website, LoneStarBeer.com, and use the code DUMZONE21, you can get 21% off merchandise. Must be 21 or over to purchase.
Starting point is 02:07:13 You don't have to be exactly 21 to purchase. That would really limit their ability to sell merch, I would think, if only 21-year-olds could buy it. So they're like, you know what we're not going to do that that's the difference between lone star beer and your other beers other beers would probably only sell it to one age lone star beer is like anyone 21 or over so uh we really appreciate lone star beer and their sponsorship of this little program. We now move on to this.
Starting point is 02:07:53 And then we'll do some news. We've been going a long time today. It's a big show. That's not what she said because I don't go a long time. It's really fast. Do you know what I mean? Talk more about that. Like the girl.
Starting point is 02:08:09 I said that's she's. These are all birthdays. I have four. Dear Senor Slit Spitter. Oh, Splitter. Jesus. That's different. Splitter. I've split the slit.
Starting point is 02:08:22 Not spit. Went in need. Anyway, the 13 slit, not spit. What a need. Anyway, the 13th was my Tom... The need arises, Dan. My Tom Rathman ball hog times the number of Jake Rehab stints birthday. So Tom Rathman. Don't make me a factor in these equations. Why do I always feel like the need to get up my calculator before viewer mail?
Starting point is 02:08:45 My leaders are Dan's Powerwall, Jake's 70-mile-per-hour two-seamer, and all of the stamps on Blake's passport. One. One? Is it? Where is it? I tried to get you a new listener by playing the podcast for my wife. It didn't go great.
Starting point is 02:09:02 You don't need her. After 30 minutes, she asked if we could listen to something else. That is why I am writing it for my own birthday wish and it's also going to lead to a moosing for her this evening.
Starting point is 02:09:14 That's from Davis. Get what you deserve, lady. Dear Johnny Gash and Slim Kargashian. I like that. That's Jake, heian. I like that. That's Jake, he says. I like that. Saturday is my Italian
Starting point is 02:09:29 fiance Jackie's 32nd birthday. Let's see. I think since Jake is a new man he should renew his vows live on the dumb zone when you hit 9k. Yeah. 9k? Why don't we do them both at 10k and I'll renew
Starting point is 02:09:47 my vows on mushrooms. Oh, I'm going to need the cameo video for this one. He says, I've attached an old video I sent Jake when I was proud of him for being promoted to a host. I'm proud of him again for going to the Hab. So this might be
Starting point is 02:10:03 good to revisit now that you don't have to bleep out so much of it. Anyway, this is from Darren Pope. He sent us the great Darren Pope. Jay Kemp, what's going on? This is the real Coach JB here, man. Listen, I know you're a radio personality down in Dallas, 1310, the ticket. I know you're promoting, man, to a full-time host after many years of grinding. Hey, sometimes sacrifice is worth the stretch, man.
Starting point is 02:10:28 And the reward outweighs the risk. You know what I mean? And sometimes you got to sacrifice, man. You know, shit. I worked for free for 15 fucking years, man. I don't feel sorry for these fucks. Feels like this is not about me anymore. I have to say that they tried to do it for a year
Starting point is 02:10:41 and didn't get no money. Kudos to you for weighing this thing out and waiting it out and letting your career end up becoming a – letting your job become a fucking career, man. I knew you'd be a coach. Congratulations, man, and don't be a fucking slapdick on the radio. If you ever need a real fucking personality, you know who to call, and maybe I'll boost your fucking ratings
Starting point is 02:11:05 from slapdick or fuckstick to shitbird or slapdick again. You know, we all want to try to be slapdicks. Don't be a fuckstick or a shitbird, but I'll get your shit some ratings. This is the real Coach JB here, man. Again, congratulations. Out.
Starting point is 02:11:21 Thanks, Coach. Now, who is that? What a gift. That is one of the... A coach that was featured on one of the seasons of Last Chance U, and he was probably the one that did the most with it afterward. Jason Brown? Jason Brown. He was a coach.
Starting point is 02:11:34 Been on our show. He was the one that didn't. Yeah, he's been on our show for sure. He was the one that didn't game plan because he just feels it. I believe he said, I'm somewhat of a savant. Doesn't watch film. As he was in a pop-up hot tub with a cigar right and uh as you will remember dan ultimately was fired he produced for sure produced some results uh but he was fired after one of the threats that he made to a German recruit was,
Starting point is 02:12:06 prepare to meet your new Hitler. And the kid looked around and was like, well, I don't see any extremely successful state planning. Also, like, doesn't that, like, analogy only work if the kid's Jewish? You know what I mean? Well, I mean, Hitler got the Germans in line and all marching and, like. Yeah, but they loved him. Okay, so maybe you're right.
Starting point is 02:12:35 You know, yeah. You'd want to, yeah, you don't want to be, that would mean you're off the team. Yeah, very much so. No, no, no, no. You wouldn't want to do that. I mean, you probably want to stay away from whoever you're talking to. I mean, he found out. Anyway, that's why he's on Cameo.
Starting point is 02:12:54 Hello, Slit Sorcerer. Today is my 46th birthday. I want to say F the jersey number bit. Okay. More of most things, less of some things from Ryan. That's a good email. Yeah. And finally, dear Uncle Fallopian Filler.
Starting point is 02:13:15 I think we have a leader. That's a good one. That's pretty good. Today is loyal dumb F Kelly Snyder's birthday. Her leaders are Dan's black shoes, Jake's leftist viewpoints, and men playing in women's sports. She would like to request more WNBA and NWSL talk. Peace and love from Luis.
Starting point is 02:13:41 You know Luis. Our Luis. Our Luis. BBB Luis. His dad. Stoked on eclipses goes yeah goes and travels across the world
Starting point is 02:13:49 Luis stoked on ladies slag football yeah good dude by the way I said this on the stream yesterday but the boys took another L
Starting point is 02:13:57 in my absence yesterday so they have now lost twice this season both games I missed and won in the 75 prior I'm not saying but you're saying but I'm saying this season, both games I missed, and won in the 75 prior.
Starting point is 02:14:06 I'm not saying. But you're saying. But I'm saying. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. There's a story that probably maybe doesn't have a whole lot for Dan, I'm just going to tell you, but I missed this over the weekend. Danny made me aware of it. I know it probably does something for Rob and old Blake but Garth Brooks has been accused of rape oh no I did hear about that on the TC and George's podcast that's where I learned about it too and I also learned that
Starting point is 02:14:38 that's George's favorite artist of all time dude and he was talking about this case and was almost brought to tears on if it were true, how sad it would make him feel about Garth. He's up there for me. He's definitely up there for me. Why? Garth?
Starting point is 02:14:59 I guess I don't know anything about him. Why? That's why. I mean, I preface the story. Do you like Chris Gaines? No, I didn't like that at all. Not at all. Didn't get it.
Starting point is 02:15:11 I got what he was trying to do and I hated it. I just couldn't get past the album cover. I don't think I listened to one song. He's a weird cat for sure. Great videos. That was it. Oh yeah. The one about just a boy or something?
Starting point is 02:15:26 No, are you thinking of Don't Take the Girl? Yeah. No. Standing Outside the Fire is the one that... Can we play it or no? Yeah. I don't know if that's allowed on the tube. Although, maybe we do it on a stream or something.
Starting point is 02:15:39 Yeah, we could do it on a live stream. It's a video for the song Standing Outside the Fire, which the whole point of it is like... That's what the Special Olympics one? Yeah. Okay. You ever seen that video, Danny? So the whole thing, it doesn't make any sense why, like.
Starting point is 02:15:53 Let's break it down on the stream. It was the 90s. Let's do it tomorrow. Okay. I think we can do that. But, yeah, we'll figure it out. But the point is, you know, Standing Outside the Fire, you got to get in there. Don't be too afraid to get burned.
Starting point is 02:16:04 Yep. You got to get in there don't be too afraid to get burned yep you got to jump in and also this is a time where we had different views about like the entertainment value of mentally handicapped kids and uh so there's this this mentally handicapped kid who wants to run track and uh so he's practicing and he's falling he's not doing very well and his dad dad's clearly like, you suck. You're retarded. And the mom is like still working with him. And then they get to the day of the meet. For some reason, Garth Brooks is in the stands,
Starting point is 02:16:35 and he's singing the lyrics to the song. With a headset microphone. And at some point, he's playing out in front of the school, and those shots of school's on fire. Don't know. But the kid is running track, and he falls. And it's a bad fall. And it's slow-mo.
Starting point is 02:16:52 And, you know, he's got down syndrome. Yeah. And he falls, and it's bad. Like, he's bloody. He's real bloody. And the dad comes over. Now the dad's like, I see my son trying. I'm not ashamed of him anymore. And he, like, helps him up, and they, like, limp to the finish line.
Starting point is 02:17:05 What does this have to do with a fire? Yeah, and how does that get you into the fire? Well, because you're trying. Oh. Like, the point is, like, you can't just stand outside the fire. Get in the ring. He used to be mad because he sucked. But then he finally realized, like, you know what?
Starting point is 02:17:20 My son's at least trying. Okay. Does the dad know that his son is mentally challenged? It'd be pretty tough to miss. Okay. Then you know what? I don't care. Well, like, he wasn't.
Starting point is 02:17:31 Your dad's initially. Was it a Special Olympics race, or was he racing against, like? I feel like he was racing against regular. Regular. Okay. Regular. Non. Sorry.
Starting point is 02:17:41 I don't know. They call them Normies. Yeah. Normies. Unspecial. Well, the dad's special. They call them normies. Yeah. Normies. Unspecial. The dad's a dick initially forever even. Like riding the kid's ass.
Starting point is 02:17:50 Yeah. And it's sort of a weird deal where like it also was the 90s so everybody was divorced. They kind of have Garth there as like this is what your dad should be.
Starting point is 02:18:01 And he's hot and stuff and he's like Garth's life is not okay. You know how you said unspe and he's like, this life is not. Okay. You know how you said unspecial, and we're all like, it's PC? Have you heard people, instead of saying suey, they'll say unalived? That's a joke, though. Nuh-uh.
Starting point is 02:18:19 Apparently, I learned this. I can't remember where I learned this. Maybe from one of my kids. I learned this I can't remember where I learned this Maybe from one of my kids That on TikTok They'll flag it and take it down If the word suicide is said
Starting point is 02:18:30 Really? So that's why everybody has started saying Unalived Made yourself unalived And you can say that And it won't get flagged and take it down But if you even say the word suicide Like it
Starting point is 02:18:42 Even if you're just missing mixing up a tasty concoction of sodas that's right right root beer orange coke mr pibb who doesn't love a suicide yeah my uh our concession stand got woke in like 1997 and did what said we're not calling it that anymore oh i i don't remember our concession stand ever having a sign. Well, it didn't have a sign, but if you walked up and said, I'll take a medium suicide,
Starting point is 02:19:08 Ricky knew what to pour you. Oh, and they won't even respond to that? No, what they did was they were like, we don't call it that anymore. What did they come up with? It was something super lame
Starting point is 02:19:18 that sounded like it had been created by dare or something. Well, that went through my mind a couple of weeks ago because I asked Malcolm, I go, do you want a juice? And he goes, yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:26 I go, we got orange, grape, or apple? And he goes, I want a mix of all of them. Hell yeah. And I go, oh, you want? Yeah, I don't need to explain this to a three-year-old. Yeah. And the cool thing about that is after our youth association changed the name, none of my classmates
Starting point is 02:19:39 killed themselves in high school. Fixed it. All you have to do is stop saying it. Garth Brooks accused of rape. He also did the Red Strokes. Do you remember that music video?
Starting point is 02:19:52 He's dressed in all white. The room is white. White piano. Yeah, he's like at a piano. And then just blood starts pouring He definitely thinks of himself as like
Starting point is 02:19:59 an auteur. Right, right. Whereas like George Strait was a cowboy. Yeah. They're very different. Oh, yeah. Yes. Where it's like George Strait was a cowboy. Yeah. They're very different. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:07 Yes. Damn it. That guy looks like Woody Harrelson. Yeah. So he was accused, and he took a somewhat... He looks like he's... Here, let's not watch it and comment, because it won't make any sense if we're not playing this. That's true.
Starting point is 02:20:21 That's true. So he actually publicly named her. That's something you don't usually do. Wait, who? What? Garth has publicly named the woman who accused him of raping a lawsuit. She wanted to be a Jane Doe. A Jane Doe.
Starting point is 02:20:34 And he's like, nah, this is a shakedown and I'm putting your name out there. Which is an interesting move. It's a strategy. Yeah. Name? Her name is... It was right here. You can figure it out.
Starting point is 02:20:55 Okay. We don't need it. She's probably hot. She probably is, but maybe this news story actually didn't include it. I have not seen a news story that has included it. Yeah, that's not surprising, I guess, to me that he would say it. But yes, I would think all news organizations would say we don't do that. Although, like, Twitter treats itself as open.
Starting point is 02:21:21 Yeah, that's true. With strings. Of course, he's married to Trisha Yearwood. She put out another... Is this current? Like how long ago did it happen? Unflagrant? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:21:39 They cut out every time Trump said rape because he was talking about abortion and he said, well, in cases of well, it's... In cases of rape, it's okay, but they cut that out. And Akash said it was because of... YouTube? That's like a YouTube thing. Now, do they monetize YouTube and we just don't? They definitely do.
Starting point is 02:21:56 Alright. So the allegation is that it happened in 2019. So she's a hair and makeup stylist who worked with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, starting in 2019. So she's a hair and makeup stylist who worked with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, starting in 1999. Started working for Garth in 2017. Her lawsuit says he
Starting point is 02:22:14 arred her in a lawsuit. I want money too, in a Los Angeles hotel room. Unconsensual sex-ter. There you go. Back in 2019, that he exposed his genitals to her many other times. Talks about sexual fantasies with her and sent her sexually explicit text messages. He says, I trust the system. I do not fear the truth.
Starting point is 02:22:39 This part right here sounds like a country song. I trust the system. i do not fear the truth and i am not the man they have painted me to be did did he say are they saying it was consensual like he had sex or no he no he's not because you don't want to be having sex behind your famous wife's back yeah and it's her friend, too. Yeah. They're not saying that at all.
Starting point is 02:23:08 Although that's like the hottest person you'll ever meet. You know, the Dak thing, I think they kind of had to say it happened, but it was... Such forbidden fruit. Yeah. Because you have a famous wife, and it's her friend. One day in 2019, Roe went to Brooks' house to do his hair and makeup and was horrified to see that Brooks had just come out of the shower naked with an erection. He grabbed her hands and forced them onto his erect penis.
Starting point is 02:23:31 Brooks appallingly told Ms. Roe that he had fantasized about this moment and wanted her to perform oral grex on him. So you've drawn the line there. I'm going to say grex. She just said penis like three times. He put his hands on his penis. He was hard. I feel like in that moment, Blake,
Starting point is 02:23:54 what he needed was for her to be a friend in low places. Jesus. Right? I'm in. I'm in. Let's go. Congratulations. Perhaps he needed to wait until the evening because she ain't going down until the sun comes up.
Starting point is 02:24:08 Wow, this guy's on fire. Boom, bitch! I think you could keep going. Looks like what she's doing now is giving him head. I guess I'm not familiar with that song. I haven't heard that song. What she's doing now. Did you just Google Darth Brute songs? You did, didn't you? I guess I'm not familiar with that song. I haven't heard that song. What she's doing now. Did you just Google Darth Burke songs?
Starting point is 02:24:28 You did, didn't you? You think he's just rattling off from memory? He said it's his favorite artist. I know all these songs for sure. He doesn't know any of the songs. Ain't going down till the sun comes up. Fake country fan. If tomorrow never comes.
Starting point is 02:24:41 I will. What's the one song? That was good too. Let's be honest. That was pretty good. What's the one song? That was good, too. Let's be honest. That was pretty good. What's the one song that was, is it called Thunder Rolls, and it's about the spouse that's getting abused, and she turns the tables and kills her abuser?
Starting point is 02:24:53 Banger of a video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that one. He's out late, and it's raining and lightning and thundering, and she's at home with a revolver. Yes. Yeah, and he's coming in all drunk, and he's like, uh, what's going on? And then he kills her or she kills him.
Starting point is 02:25:09 Wow. That sounds like a good song. It's a great video. Anyways. He's got his place. Well, good luck with all that, Garth. Yep. A woman in Fort Worth, or excuse me, this one in Northwest Dallas, has admitted to setting
Starting point is 02:25:23 a fire at a trailer park. That fire killed a man, but more importantly, three dogs. Oh, no. I think I'd rather be homeless person dog than trailer park dog. Feels like there's more adventure with all the same bad stuff. Okay, so they're both bad i'm not saying all trailer parks are bad but i was just saying based on my cops experience i mean i've had friends that lived in you know park but this is the type where that somebody sets it on fire you know it's like meth people live there sometimes true i don't imagine being a homeless person is largely a nomadic experience
Starting point is 02:26:08 where you're seeing the sights of America. Yeah. I might have oversold that a little bit. I don't know. Excitement. You're solving crimes. Eating somewhere different every day. Meeting new people,
Starting point is 02:26:25 get to know the locals. That's probably true. Homeless guy, though, loves his dog, man. It's going to be tough to find an owner that loves you more than that. Yeah. Until he needs another hit and he trades you. For some crack.
Starting point is 02:26:47 But he's providing, he's saying you're some crack. But he's providing he's saying you're worth something. Like you don't even have a real leash. It's like a rope. Oh yeah. If that. If that. So the woman was arrested. Don't have to go for grooming and your shots.
Starting point is 02:27:02 Don't have to worry about all that. That's cool. Yeah but you're itching all the time. Nails are always trimmed because of all the pavement walking. Just an auto-petty. Oh, look, I'm filed down. But Dan loves homeless humor. More homeless dog humor. That's a niche.
Starting point is 02:27:28 I feel like that's like the top risk of living in trailer park is fire. Well, tornado seems good. Yeah, tornado might weigh in. That's true, too. Or is that just very publicized? Yeah, I mean, it definitely is. But I don't know. I just think that seems like there's...
Starting point is 02:27:47 I'll generalize and say that a lot of times there's going to be unstable people in there. And, you know, they leave something on, pass out, and when those things go, they go. And typically... Cooking meth. Unless you're retired and you have an RV, your house, the concept is your home is on wheels, which means you're always ready to get out of a situation at any time. Yeah, and you've thought about that. I've loved that life for a long time.
Starting point is 02:28:18 I'm thinking, like, look, if I've got to get up and go, as Javier once said, I'll get up and go. Got a go bag. Yeah, that was a that was interesting there were a couple people at the Hab that knew a lot about meth and they were like yeah
Starting point is 02:28:35 you know people don't make it in in like the suburbs at all anymore they knew people whose houses had blown up but the RV thing anymore. They knew people whose houses had blown up. But the RV thing? That's a real thing. For sure. Cooking in an
Starting point is 02:28:52 RV? Yeah. I mean, obviously, Breaking Bad did their research. Did life imitate art, or art imitate life? I think in that case, it might have been art imitates life. But I think the show was properly sourced. Let's see here.
Starting point is 02:29:08 You know what? That's probably enough for today. All right. We watched the... I'm going to issue this statement. I haven't been to Deep Ellum in a while. I don't think I'm ever going back. Unless it's a weeknight.
Starting point is 02:29:22 Weeknights are great. Dude, did you see the Dodge Charger video this weekend? Oh, yeah. The dueling Chargers crashed on the stream yesterday. But, yeah, it's just mayhem. Now, it was Texas OU weekend. It was Friday night. But do you guys ever have, like, fights?
Starting point is 02:29:39 Gunshots on Elm Street. I mean, some guy was all empty in clips. For fun? I mean, there's usually a beef. But, yeah, it's the Wild West on the weekends. It's all cyclical. It's been like this now for about three or four years. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:29:56 It's been the cycle, yeah. Yeah. And so it'll get to a point where it'll change. People stop going down there. Rent will become cheap again. And then the whole thing, you know, it's about a 20 to 25 year deal. But anyways. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:13 I don't go down there. Go Dallas. There's news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. Hey, tell us about Frankel and Frankel. Well, I do know this, that they'll tell you exactly what you need to do, or rather they're going to tell you let us handle it when you get into a car accident.
Starting point is 02:30:33 If you are involved in an auto accident, you need to call 214 or 817 and then just hit the threes until you hear Mark, your Gene. They hop on the phone, and they're like, hey, we got you. You know why? We used to work for the insurance companies. We know their nasty, dirty tricks. And they'll take care of you. It's a huge beating. I think that's one thing too when you get in a car accident, you just kind of like get a daze for the next couple weeks afterward, and then you forget what a huge beating it is until it happens again. Remember, it sucks. You get confused.
Starting point is 02:31:10 There are people calling you that you shouldn't be talking to. Fly-by-night lawyers, insurance agents trying to get you to – it's like you're under investigation by the police. Don't deal with any of that. Yeah, that's not your job. That's the Frankel's job. They'll take care of you. Call immediately if you get in a wreck, 214-817, then all threes.
Starting point is 02:31:27 333-333-333. Isn't it bad enough that you were in a wreck? Make it as smooth as possible with the Frankels. The case starts building against you the second the airbag deploys. So unless you are seriously injured, that would be my first call. That's right. You're going to talk to Mark, Scott, or Gene and tell you what to do. They'll tell you what to do.
Starting point is 02:31:49 Thanks, Frank. We'll see you. Great notepad, too. If you ever got to go away for a month, take one of their notepads. They'll be in my heart forever. Let's see. Jake's diary. Today is Monday, October 14th.
Starting point is 02:32:05 On this day in 1947, U.S. Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager became the first pilot to break the sound barrier. That was 1947. In 2012. So, 1947. 1947. Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager 2012 65 years later
Starting point is 02:32:32 89 year old Air Force Brigadier General Chuck Yeager Went through the sound barrier again This time as a passenger Still though dude They kind of strapped him in the back of an F-15 How old? went through the sound barrier again, this time as a passenger. Still, though, dude. They kind of strapped him in the back of an F-15. How old? 89.
Starting point is 02:32:50 And he's 89. Man, my equilibrium is a nightmare right now. His head exploded. Within the helmet. I won't even get on a roller coaster anymore. It's pointless. Yeah, I mean, I've never been the biggest roller coaster guy, but I'm with you.
Starting point is 02:33:07 I have trouble sometimes just standing up. I'm like, whoa! You lean over to pick up the dog poop. What's going on here? You stand up and you feel like you just did a whip it. Yeah. That's crazy, man. Chuck Yeager at 89.
Starting point is 02:33:20 What if his skin just stayed like... Like it just got all... He was next to a turbine. Awesome. He sprayed clear cement on his face and it just stays that way. Died at the age of 97. Maybe you live longer if you go to space. I don't know if he went to space.
Starting point is 02:33:40 The people on the Challenger might disagree with you. Yeah, there's going to be a couple mishaps. This day in 1987, Jessica... Yes, I realize I just conflated the sound barrier with being in orbit. That's all right. What's the difference? This day in 1987, Jessica McClure. Well.
Starting point is 02:34:01 Fell down a well. She was 18 months old. And then they end up rescuing her, and I think... How many days was it? Was it three? 58-hour rescue. So, yeah. Damn, dude.
Starting point is 02:34:17 That's a long time. And she's... And I think... Rich beyond her... I think she got a bunch of money somehow from it, and I believe got into some bad investments and bits and had a bad marriage. It's a sad tale if you look into Jessica.
Starting point is 02:34:36 It really is. I change and add to the story every year, but there is a kernel of truth in it. She did get married young, and I believe her... Right when she got out. Yeah, that's right. He was proposing to her. Her agent. He was proposing to her
Starting point is 02:34:51 when they were lifting her up in the basket. She married a guy who she got divorced from. She had a lot of money, and I think he this part I think is true, had like a failed car wash business. I feel like car wash is a thing.
Starting point is 02:35:09 And I think I put baseball cards in there every year because it just seems like the sort of thing. Yeah, like he'd want to invest in that right when they went out of style. Beanie babies or something. He bought lots of Doge when it was 50 cents do you think she has any of the pow mentality even though it happened when she was only a year and a half old i'd like to find out where you're like you know you could be back in that well that's right she always she here she it's calling her all the time
Starting point is 02:35:42 she has to force herself not to dive down into that well. On this day in 1990, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice had record-setting performances in the 49ers' win over the Falcons. Montana, career high of 476 yards passing and six touchdowns. Five of those went to Jerry Rice, which makes me just think, what if? Imagine if those two played in a sling-it-around passing offense, the numbers they could have put up. Yeah, no, I mean, you don't get those type of numbers from those guys that day
Starting point is 02:36:19 without the 11 carries for 31 yards by Tom Rathbun that he posted that afternoon. On this day in 2011, the sudden departure occurs. An inexplicable simultaneous disappearance of 140 million people from the earth. 2% of the world's population suddenly disappeared. That one lady was... Three years later, the TV series The Leftovers would start. Love The Leftovers. This was the day, October 14th.
Starting point is 02:36:51 That's awesome. Need to rewatch that. Great show. So good. I was so unsure about it after the first couple episodes, and I just grinded. I might go back. It's so good.
Starting point is 02:37:02 Let's go back. It's probably worth it. Three seasons or two? It's really short. I might go back. It's so good. Let's go back. It's probably worth it. Three seasons or two? It's really short. I think three, but... Yeah. Yeah. They knew what was up, too.
Starting point is 02:37:11 Like, this is the arc we want to tell. And I feel like him every morning when... I don't smoke cigarettes, but... And I don't have a huge dick like him. But when I go run in the neighborhood, I'll leave my water bottle and my vape out in the driveway. How many steps you got today? Today's an off day because I had to write this morning.
Starting point is 02:37:32 Yesterday? Now this is the day I want to ask you. Okay. How many steps you got? It's not going to be good. Because I had a short walk today. I have 3,100. At 2 o'clock today, I am at...
Starting point is 02:37:43 I had 14,000. 7,700. That's good. I didn't do anything in the morning. I'm at like... I had 14,000. 7,700. That's good. I didn't do anything in the morning. I'm at like... This is off day, and he's doubled me. I'm at 2,000. I got 17 grand yesterday, bro.
Starting point is 02:37:53 But I just love how he used to... Is this worse than Fantasy Talk? Yes. I don't participate in it. Steps Talk? That's the first time. I love Steps Talk. I do love that the main character would go run,
Starting point is 02:38:04 and literally when he got to his halfway point, he would just start smoking cigarettes before he ran back. Dude, I went on a run last night, and I swear to God there's a track by my house, and I made a lap, and there was a guy that was wearing fitness shoes and fitness pants, and he was Hispanic,
Starting point is 02:38:23 and he was clearly not traveling from one place to the other and just used a portion of his track. He was getting his workout in with a freaking Marlboro lit. That's because he had to leave the house. His wife wouldn't let him smoke. She thinks he's quit. Is that what it is? Yeah, and then he's got to dress up and do the whole bit
Starting point is 02:38:40 and kind of go through with some of it. I like that. I never thought about that. Okay. Well, he's going to go back home and reek. I don't know how people have pulled that off, but I had friends who would do that. My parents don't know I smoke. I'm like, dude, I smell
Starting point is 02:38:51 you driving by my house. Yeah. Yeah. This one's for Rob Videoman. You know Rob was an X Games guy. Has done like thousands of parachute jumps. On this day in 2012, like, thousands of parachute jumps. On this day in 2012,
Starting point is 02:39:07 extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner... Oh, no. ...did a 24-mile-high jump from a balloon. Officials said this made him the first skydiver to fall faster than the speed of sound.
Starting point is 02:39:21 Is this Red Bull? Okay. I thought he died, but I was wrong. sound. Is this Red Bull? And? I thought he died, but I was wrong. Is this a little video of it? Yeah, he like live streamed this. Started out almost like in space. Yeah. He was like, he actually stood on the
Starting point is 02:39:37 moon and then jumped off it. 24 miles up. Holy crap. Yeah, that's wild. Mission Control started celebrating when he landed safely. Yeah. He didn't splat.
Starting point is 02:39:54 But then, yeah. What would their reaction be? Like, yeah. Yes. Okay, well. Burritos? I guess he's dead. It didn't work.
Starting point is 02:40:05 Get the cleanup crew. And on this day in 2015, mentioned this at the beginning of the program, Jose Bautista bat flip game. Joey bats. Game five of the ALDS. The Rangers lose to the Blue Jays. Their unruly foreign fans. They're pouring beers
Starting point is 02:40:25 on babies. That would lead to Ruggie Odor eventually punching Jose Bautista. And then eventually Ruggie Odor would be in prison with my neighbor's sister.
Starting point is 02:40:41 You know, I come from the bad radio school of kind of overestimating your own importance in the world. So I still remain steadfast that Bob and Dan caused that punch to happen. Blake might have been there. If it wasn't you, it was killer. You were there.
Starting point is 02:40:58 I was definitely there. We were interviewing Batista, or no, Ruggie. Ruggie, and he... It was like days before. He hated Bob so much that he... It was like days before. He hated Bob so much that he took it out on Bautista? Yeah, it was either that
Starting point is 02:41:09 or it was the series was about to start with them or they were coming in that weekend and they asked him about it and he was like, I,
Starting point is 02:41:16 I'm not going to talk about that. And like, he literally got like a far away look. Like, I'm about to fuck this dude up
Starting point is 02:41:23 one way or another. And then they waited until the middle of the game on Sunday. We're going to get these other two out of the way. And then the first chance I get, you're getting the two-piece. It was great. It was great.
Starting point is 02:41:39 And then, as a Venezuelan was fighting, I don't know what Bautista is, but he played for Toronto. So as a Venezuelan was fighting, I don't know what Bautista is, but he played for Toronto. So as a Venezuelan guy is like fighting, you know, let's say like an El Salvadoran guy, the crowd, USA, USA. It was like, what? It was Texas versus Toronto, dude. You weren't there.
Starting point is 02:41:59 That's true. That's true. I was. It was the greatest baseball game I've ever been to. And then his career just went into the tank. Yep. He was never the same after that, man. Nope.
Starting point is 02:42:11 He had horses, though. Yeah. Jimmy Jackson, 54. We got him. Wesley Matthews, 38. We had him. I liked him. We had him. Yeah,s, 38. We had him. I liked him. We had him.
Starting point is 02:42:27 Yeah, it was a lot of fights. Kind of a spare overall looking at his career today. A guy who averaged 10 points on you. He had a couple good years at the right time, but... He was a killer. He was overpaid by one team. Yeah. He was cool looking.
Starting point is 02:42:45 He did the bow and arrow. He's still in the league. Shut up. No. Where? He was as of last year. Is it like the Lakers or something? He has made $115 million.
Starting point is 02:42:57 Wesley Matthews. I remember when DeAndre Jordan bailed. I think Cuban said, you can go if you want. He did. He said, no, I'll stay. And you don't like him for that? He was a fun player. He just made a lot of money and it wasn't
Starting point is 02:43:12 that great. Brandon Whedon, 41. Man. Lance Renssel, 81. No pants Lance. Is he the guy who exposed himself or something? My name was Lance. And how I got that nickname was...
Starting point is 02:43:28 Ron Wolfley, 62. The Wolfman. The unbookable Wolfman. The Arizona Cardinals, right? Yeah. Jared Goff, 30. Wow. Damn, dude.
Starting point is 02:43:38 That's it? Dude, he was like 21 his first year. Wow. That is insane. Is Dak older than Goff? Yeah first year. Wow. That is insane. Is Dak older than Goff? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 02:43:48 Or at least very close, yeah. Screaming A. Smith, 57. Happy birthday. Jim Rome, 60. Wow. Isn't that interesting? You're kidding. They're only three years apart?
Starting point is 02:43:59 That surprises me. Yeah, I would have thought Jim Rome was way older. Yeah, for sure. Because he'd been around a long time. Lori Petty, 61. Great. From Point Break. That's her now.
Starting point is 02:44:11 Natalie Maines is 50. What's wrong with that? Nothing. Is she a Roseanne? No. Kind of. Holly Rowe, though. Someone added Holly Rowe to the Roseannes this weekend.
Starting point is 02:44:22 I think that's spot on. Spot on. Yeah, Lori Petty. Who's the next one? Natalie Maines. Dixie Chicks. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:44:31 I'm sorry. The Chicks. I met her on an airplane. Oh, I know. I walked right by her when she was in first class. I can tell that story again if you like. Oh, I was waiting for the thing. Nothing.
Starting point is 02:44:47 I just said, oh, hey, it's Natalie Mendes. To be fair to him, he didn't really sell it like it was. I don't think that's meeting someone. No, I did. We said hi. If you like to look at them. Dude, they're both country artists. Yeah, come on, man.
Starting point is 02:44:58 They know. It's like gaydar. As he walks back to coach middle seat. She's up in first class. Shut up, boyfriend, too. Nice. And Usher is 46. Man, he's had a stupid number of hits.
Starting point is 02:45:17 I don't really like R&B. How old is he? 46? Are you more R? He's gotten the ladies moving for the better part of 25 years now. Can you have R without B? Sure. I don't think you can have any music without R.
Starting point is 02:45:33 You probably need the R. Unless you're Tool. Then you have lots of R. No, you just have everything being divided by three. Or prime numbers. Yeah. Tool. The band that sounds like a math problem. Tool and Rush.
