Yo, what's up? It's Shadi.
I'm going to listen to the dumb zone.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
I never listen. I'm going to listen to the dom song.
All right, all right, all right.
I never listen. I'm going to listen to the don't song.
Happy Friday, Jake, we're in Denver.
Yeah.
What's up Denver.
I want a bunch of people here too.
We do.
Here being the dive-in in Denver.
The dive-in in Denver.
In-in.
I-N-N and then I-N.
Yes, thank you.
Welcome to the dive-in.
in.
Yes.
Welcome to the bad.
What a day.
Quite a crowd here.
People ask me, what's Blake like?
No, then they also asked me, why did you guys decide?
You looked at the Cowboys schedule this year.
Why did you decide on Denver?
And so you have to think of a reason that's not pot.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
And so I said, you know, there's...
Mushrooms.
No, but it really feels like...
the Denver area
I know a lot of people who have
left DFW
and just kind of move to Denver
it just feels like that's a thing people do
like you know how people go to
what's the Redneck Riviera
down there Destin
sure like the thing people do around where we live
is they all go to Destin and a lot of people
also just kind of move out here
look it's Fitz
Hey he's done that exact thing
Fitz who joins us on a lot of our live streams and whatnot
and loves doing a little gambling and
filming
loves OU, loves filming
did this himself right? You packed it all up and just said
F it two years ago, yeah. Let's go to Denver.
The problem is like, again, to your original point
all of my friends who have done it are the biggest podheads
I know like, so when my wife, like I go to it and I'm like, hey, you see what
happened like fits actually just did it she's like fits but i was saying for us our justification
the dumb zone i know yeah we need we didn't go just for pot i mean it might have factored in a little bit
but dfw you know we didn't go to singapore we're not going to do that true no it's a dream
and many of these people have achieved it i'm jealous of many of them they all look so happy too
yeah i was here no they're all and yes there are i think this proves me right there's no heavy people
If we went to Philly, would we have this kind of a crowd?
No.
Of course not.
Of course not.
And I also figured in Denver's somewhat close.
I thought it was just directly west.
It's a little higher, but the people might actually travel out here, too, from Dallas.
Oh, yeah.
And like, hey, let's go to the game.
It's kind of close.
Yeah.
When I was a kid, there was like two levels of vacation for, it was like New Mexico was level one.
And Colorado was level two.
Right? Some people you'd go, you'd just go to the mountains in New Mexico. It's kind of spare. It's fine. But getting up here, Dan was surprised yesterday that people drive it in one day. But I'd never...
Wouldn't I recommend? I've never done it in more than a day. It's always been...
Really? Yeah, and I don't know. I thought yesterday was sweet. It was. There was probably seven words spoken the whole 13-hour drive. That's how the boys roll. We talk enough. But I don't know. It's a pretty drive. It felt like it was.
over if you want me to like it was over it was great if you want me to follow up and get some
business emails and things done yes give me a 12-hour drive yeah and I hesitated to
really complain about it too much just because I'm trying to cut down and
complaining and because Matt Grimm who drove us like drove the whole way I'm just
passing and I'm dead tired from like just sitting for 12 hours he drove the
whole way. I found out he got up early and went and picked up Clayton. Oh, wow. He had
Clayton get Burline status. Where did he pick you up? What is it? There was a, oh, that's right. He
picked you up at the airport, right? Yeah, I had, luckily enough, I had a buddy going to the airport
about the time I needed to go to your house. Four o'clock in the morning? Yeah. What? So,
loaded up my clubs and my bag and Grimm picked me up at Lovefield Airport. Now, that wasn't Burline, was it? You
weren't taking him to the airport at 4 a.m.
Love Field, I thought he went to DFW.
I'm like, oh, that's not too far away.
No, Love Field.
So Matt Grimm woke up at two to pick us up and drive us,
and we got here at Dallas time, what, 745, 8?
That sounds about right, yeah.
Yeah.
So a little longer than I thought.
Well, we had that north part.
We did have the north part, and, you know, we stopped a bunch.
Uh, got to say, I never really had the full Buckees experience.
Boy, yeah, Dan was blown away.
I walked out of there.
Like, I would, I would rather go to this bathroom than my bathroom at home.
Yeah.
It is wonderful.
It felt kind of like him discovering tamales a little bit.
It was the, uh, like I was pissed we were going to Buckees because I'm like,
because I thought it was cool.
We're stopping at Luz on the way.
Lobs is all set up for truckers and whatnot.
Yeah.
Buckies is great.
They got your lot lizard?
No, they don't.
That's a thing.
You guys are like, we're the lot lizard.
I was looking for me.
Dude, you can't find a hooker at a brand-name truck stop.
We're going to have to...
They still have women there working that need to be rescued from their current situation.
Blake has never seen a lower economic status woman that he's not looking to rescue.
I could save this.
We had chemistry.
He's got just enough money to be attracted to a bike he's attended.
But it was actually a not crowded Buckees,
which if you can strike that sweet spot.
Yeah, Dan wanted to move in.
Yeah, I'm walking around this thing.
They got all this food.
It's like a buffet of food.
Yeah, it's a popular brand.
Yeah, I mean, it's just everything.
Any kind of peanut you want?
Frankly, like, I'm out on Buckees just because of the crowd,
and I'm usually with kids.
But they should replace the crowd shots,
you know, the rejoins on CBS and Fox with Buckees
instead of horses, right?
Yeah, that's what Texas is all about.
It's just being people in there loading the fuck up
on gross food,
wearing a Bucky's t-shirt.
But no, the real, I don't know
if you want to talk about this or not,
but, I mean,
there was a real objective.
The whole day was kind of centered on one.
I don't know if he wanted to talk about this.
Yeah, I don't know if I do want to talk about it.
Okay. Dan had to go to the bathroom.
Again, I don't think he wanted to talk about this.
You didn't have to talk about it,
but I've already said it.
enough.
It was just a, it was a focus all day.
It was quite a, quite a quest.
We were rooting for him.
I'll put it to you like that.
We were like getting in like,
can a number two happen on this trip?
And the answer for driving, no.
It just couldn't happen.
I had to wait until I got to the Airbnb.
So we'd all sit in the van and then he'd be,
as he's walking out of the building,
we're like, does he?
And he'd be like, no.
Give the thumbs down.
We're like, fuck.
A lot of dejection.
I even woke up from a nap at a taco bell.
just to get you going
Yeah, I went to a talk
I'm the only guy who ate Taco Bell
All you big talkers
Oh, we love Taco Bell
At a time, Dan
I bought a pie at Buckees in the whole thing
You did eat a pie
Um, hey, let's thank
Yo Kiero
Yes, sir
That is our title sponsor for our trip
Yo Kiero
Take a look at their copy points
Because they got dip
They got
I guess they got
Well, it's mostly dip, but it is a lot of different types of dip.
I don't think they have power tools.
The bean dip plays very well if you have small children.
The ready, the grab and go bean dip.
I actually pick that out as my favorite.
Yeah, well, either that or four, six-year-olds.
Yeah, okay.
No, the grab-and-go stuff is awesome because you just take this into work for lunch.
Hell, do you even need a chip?
Let's just lick it out of here.
Let's just eat it like a cat.
I've done worse with less.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've finger-bangged the grab and go beat it, if that's what you mean.
Yeah, so thank you to Yo Kiero, and we invite you to go get your Yo Kiero at a participating
Yo Kiero.
They got it up here for sure.
I did the find a store.
Retailer near you.
And then at the counter, like the lady, the checkout lady, just tell her the dumb zone sent you,
and she'd be like, huh?
Right.
She won't care.
She doesn't work for Yo Kiro.
She works for whatever.
Blake.
Croker.
If he plays his cards, right.
Yeah, that's right.
It's good stuff, Yokiro.
You need running water?
I got it.
I got a little follow-up.
Remember we're talking about Plashley sent in the birthday the other day?
And she had actually said she was wishing us well in Denver.
Have you been to a game yet, Fitz?
No.
You don't go to games?
The dollar list ticket prices are insane.
because there's all these
you know like Dallas fans
New York fans last week
I think the cheapest ticket
was $3.50 to get in
I think it's about the same
for this
I told you
well she said
I know but we got
good deal
oh we did get a great deal
but it was a debate
between you and I
how much people spend
on NFL
I know but I want to see
Sunday morning
you're right
or when we're out
tailgating I want to see
what we can get a ticket
for there
because I bet you can get
under 100 bucks
I think you're out of your
fucking mind
Well, if you have a ticket and you're trying to get rid of it and you don't,
and then all of a sudden it's almost game time,
you think you're bringing your price down?
The thing is, like, there's a decent chance you're going to be right,
and then we'll replay this.
But I've done this many, many times.
And I feel like the NFL is the one thing.
They just stay expensive.
Like, it never gets.
College game, it's like right before, maybe $20.
But NFL just...
You seem, though, to buy your tickets when, like TC buying Bitcoin.
It's like wait until it's the highest.
I timed out Texas owe you incorrectly.
The people next to me paid about half.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
The people to the right of me paid over double.
There's always somebody in there that's...
That's how you can always feel better about other people doing worse than you.
He drinks way more than me.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Fifteen years ago, I'm with you.
I was that guy where I would show up to the stadium.
I mean, didn't worry about anything.
And I would, I mean, I would get it close to face value.
But now you're lucky if that ticket works.
Oh, yeah, that's another part of it, too.
Yeah.
It's just, you're just rolling the dice now.
I don't even.
I feel like ours will work.
People aren't being honest with their ticket sales?
No.
Here in Denver?
With all the granolas, a lot of granola up here?
Why does that even mean?
I don't know.
The people are granola, right?
Of course.
Yeah.
I identify with the granola.
We don't care about fashion up here.
We need a new word for that.
Why?
Just because you love granola?
Yeah, and I don't want people thinking I was worried about her emails or whatever.
I don't know.
Everyone eats granola for everyone.
Anyway, Plashley in her email or text or whatever, she said, Denver's her team.
You'll love the stadium, she says.
Lots of bits.
Get there early enough so you don't miss the skydivers.
Can anybody, oh, we're getting some nods.
Can confirm that there are skydivers.
Shottie was asked about playing in Denver.
You know, Brian Schottenheimer.
He's not Brian no more.
You know who I'm talking about, right?
Yeah.
Do I? I do.
He was, like I said, he was asked about playing in Denver.
He's going to bring up a bit as well that I'm not aware of.
But Todd Archer seems to ask this question as if everybody should be aware of this.
When you go to Denver, obviously they have the incomplete thing.
You go to Pittsburgh.
They have a renegade that they play.
Do you prepare your team for that stuff
just to know what they're going to hear
when you've not been to a place like that?
No, the renegade thing, I laugh
because you actually, if you're going to ask the question,
you should say how they say,
the fans, they say,
incomplete, you know.
So I've heard it a lot in my life.
Then, of course, he would expand on the renegade thing
being funny, it wasn't.
Don't worry, he laughs, but it wasn't a funny story.
But, yeah, first of all,
I wanted to imagine Todd Archer saying,
you know when they go in come
yeah first of all we do this quick hey
hey by the way I know some shit I'm about to tell you
about it that's his whole
it's kind of my whole deal too
so I shouldn't be talking trash but also the
the renegade thing
I didn't even know
about that until like a year ago
the Pittsburgh
plays a monta
it's pretty badass he was just saying
one of the players will sit and watch it on
the scoreboard because it's
Troy Palomalu and Jack Lamber just
big hits over the song Renegate, I guess?
Yeah, but earlier this year, I saw some team.
They had clearly prepared for it, like, playing it at practice.
You ever see, like, a college team will do this and stuff?
Like, maybe if you're playing Wisconsin, House of Pain.
So when they play it, your team is conditioned to, like, go apeshit and reacts like
they're at home playing it.
Like, they know all the song, like the words to Renegade.
The incomplete thing, is that, like, a big deal that I should have done?
definitely known about.
I don't know.
We're going to find out, right?
I was familiar with that one.
I know Chiefs third down.
That was one that would have stuck out to me.
What other bits are we talking about?
I see the skydivers.
They got a horse.
They got a real-ass horse.
Okay.
Runs around out there.
I accept that.
Cowboys don't have that.
No, they got rowdy.
I saw a game here.
I think in 2017, it was the best halftime show.
I've seen, which was the dog
chasing down the frisbee. Oh,
wow, you're talking about NBAing up an
NFL halftime show. I don't hate that.
Yeah. That's cool.
This time you're going to be next to Berlin. You were here in 2017?
Do you remember? Was anybody else?
Do you remember that game?
It was a Dak, Zeeke,
Zeeke straight give up day.
The Cowboys got the piss kicked out of him.
And it was the day where I realized
this, you can't build around.
I mean, not like he didn't know. He's Zeke.
There was a lot of give up in that game from him.
And he just kind of laughed about it afterward.
Was that Dax's second year?
Second year.
Okay, because I saw.
Expectations high.
Did you see a clip about him?
By Vic Van Gio.
Him kind of throwing his offensive coordinator at the time under the bus.
I wonder if I can find that real quick.
You did not see that online on the Internet?
Gosh, one of the cowboy reporters put this out.
But he was just talking about that he was real young
and his coaches weren't really preparing him
and the fact that he had a really good rookie season.
This could lend to the sophomore slump theory
or the C.J. Stroud Award.
The C.J. Stroud Award,
which this year, Jaden Daniels is leading the NFL in, you know,
odds to win that.
Oh, God, I forgot who the...
What?
2017, do you remember who the O.C. was?
Linahan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a name you might have forgot about.
But I do remember when they came into training camp in 2017 talking about giving DAC more responsibility to do checks downs at the line and things like that.
And I remember thinking, well, why would you, I might have even said it out loud.
Why would you want to do that right?
Like things were going so well last year.
What if we kind of, you know, add to it a little bit?
but were things going so well
but they could have been way better
if Dack had more control of everything?
I did not think so.
You never know how to manage that
because he's getting an ego at that time too.
But in this game, he was humbled pretty quickly
by Trevor Simeon.
Trevor Simeon was the opposing quarterback?
He threw for four touchdowns that day
and smashed the Cowboys
the first third of the season there.
But we're not doing that right now, are we?
What else we got?
We got a guys
If I had it, I would do it.
But no, I mean, I don't have anything else about skydiving.
You should just have to prepare you for all the bits.
And I'm like, what else we got?
Yeah.
Well, like you said, they got a horse.
And apparently they have a dog that catches a frisbee.
Who's ever had that?
Who could ever do that, except everybody on the beach?
So do you want to talk about where we're staying at all?
We're staying in a church.
I'm sorry, man.
Dude, you need to cheer up.
You're the only one bummed out because I don't...
I feel like I did a bad job.
I feel like, well, I don't want to speak for everyone else.
Is everyone else upset?
I mean, I like my Airbnb to have a lock on the front door, but that's minor.
I wasn't going to publicize that.
It had one until this morning.
Yeah, I've already put the photo out there.
Why don't you go get the geo tag and rob us?
The door's broken.
The guy's there fixing it right now.
Okay.
But when I left,
he was not.
Yeah, the lock just fell out of the front door.
It's a renovated church,
which sounds cooler than actually being in it.
And I love waking the neighbors walking on the hardwood floors.
What about trying to close the front door?
I didn't know you were just going to complain the whole.
Did I wake you up this morning closing the front door?
I mean, yeah, I shot out of bed.
Because that front door, like, it scared the life out of me.
It's not like lined up.
They could absolutely use one-day doors.
Yeah.
So it's like I had to.
slam it and I'm on Texas
time, so I'm up earlier. I have no
problem with it. I love it. I think it's very cool.
I found a giant, whatever
this bug was, I think it was
just genetically
created in a lab. It had a million
legs, but it also looked like a
I don't know.
It's a vaccine bug? It's something weird.
Yes, it has morphed out of something
and this huge thing was
just next to me in the
bathroom and I didn't like it and I
had to take its life.
I had to do a mercy killing
And it's
I just feel like it's a bad house
But it is 20 minutes closer
Than the second best house
To the dive in
So that's what I'm
I just remember in Cleveland
It was the other bad house
Because it was in the hood
I don't care
You should apologize
We also had to call
He's the boogey one who hangs out
With Burlai now
I think both these houses were sick
I was able to buy heroin
Super quick this morning
We've also
The two places I've had to call
the homeowner and say, can you come do a repair?
Because what happened in Cleveland?
Didn't the roof cave in or something?
Yeah.
When someone would take a shower, the water would leak from the upstairs.
Oh, onto the couch downstairs.
Yeah, and you're sitting on the couch.
You can work around that.
I think we're in a great spot.
There's a nice Italian restaurant called Angelo's, two doors down.
But it is a renovated church, and it's huge.
And it's majestic.
and it does have five, you know, giant beds.
That's what I look for online.
We have giant guys, excluding you.
We have a bunch of giant people traveling with us,
and I want everybody to have a nice, comfortable bed all to themselves.
I just didn't realize.
You were booking a place that was used for exorcisms?
It might be haunted.
It definitely was, dude.
That basement is...
If the ghost of children in this church could talk.
I mean...
What do you think has happened in this church?
Churches are creepy enough without putting pedophilia in there.
Well, I didn't do it.
You didn't.
You're acting like I put Dick Clark on the air.
Yeah, Jake and I are up, I guess, where the sound people used to be.
Yeah, that's probably what it was.
Yeah, it's just weird because there's, like, our room is basically in the living room, but we're upstairs.
We don't have a door.
So my room's in the living room, but it's.
Yeah, you got a weird.
They put a big giant tent around.
Yeah, you got a weird mother.
Law sweet thing going on, but it's in the living room.
Right.
It's in the living room where I guess the pews used to be.
Yeah.
And, but there's a big kind of inflatable tent thing and you walk in the door and then, yeah,
there's a little place to sit there.
Like you, imagine if FEMA remodel the church.
Yes.
That's kind of what it looks like.
And it's cozy.
It's cozy.
Yeah.
And then I had to, tons of dip.
Log in.
We do have tons of a yokeyero dip.
For some reason, we had to create an account to get on the Wi-Fi, which is neat.
Dude, do you guys remember old Blake?
Oh, yeah, that is weird.
Like old Blake who was just bouncing around conference USA.
iPad, a phone, and a 3A high school football.
And now if he doesn't have his little per diem envelope and his peppercorn-crusted filet.
Yeah, I guess I'm weird.
I would just love a door to my bedroom.
I'll tell you what else.
We could use Trident Access here because they have this giant gate in the front.
Oh, hell, I'd put a garage door on the front.
So Trident, though, does gates and whatnot.
And, yeah, that front gate is also, I don't know.
It's just, I...
Could use a tune-up.
Could use a tune-up.
Get a little tune-up with Trident Access Services, TXTrident.com.
They're also, they're a supporting sponsor.
So I don't know what that means.
We have a title sponsor.
Well, one of them costs more.
Oh, okay.
Title sponsor, Yokeero.
I'll break it down.
That means we will eat more Yokeero dip than...
We will open doors on this trip.
Yeah, we'll factor it in there, right?
Yeah.
Multipler.
Or put the Yokeira dip on the hinges to get it stopped.
Yeah.
It's a fine place as long as our stuff's there when we get back.
Can I keep complaining?
God, please.
Thank you to the dive-in.
No, the dive-in is great.
I love everyone that's here.
I honestly, the weather is perfect.
We were able to drive as a little rough tumble show across the country north and do the show.
Everyone's having a great time.
go ahead blake well dan and i walked to traitor joes last night and i found out that was the first
time dan had ever been to one never been inside a traitor jose i tried to keep my cherry for a long
time just because it was something i could say that i hadn't done um but it's obviously a magical
place for snacks which i'm pretty into these days like everything there is traitor jo's stuff
like when you go to croger they have some croaker items but then you got your kellogs and all that
right?
Yep.
But when you go to Trader Joe's...
I know how it all works.
You're the one who doesn't.
Oh, okay.
They're all Trader Joe's items.
Like, you can't find the other brands.
Yep.
So I was surprised by that.
But it's been...
Anything I've eaten there has been good so far.
Yeah, I guess...
A single banana.
I bought a single banana.
It's a part of their business model
to maybe restock their stuff.
They'll get to it, I guess.
And it's also...
They don't check the labels.
So the cold brew that I bought expired in July.
he comes in and he's telling
they had plenty of employees
they were just kind of dicking around
at the front
a million employees
you ain't too many
yeah and it's just the worst
like the priors you know
it's like Twiggy
whenever she'd watch a car chase
and pray that it wasn't a black guy
getting out like these
and then he comes into the house
this morning he's like
well I guess they just don't stock the shelves
and you know Matt Grimm's prime
he's like it's a blue city
he's like it's the same as anywhere
people don't want to work places
we had worked on it was
like from upstairs I'm like hey
that's not true sometimes in my head I'm like I don't know I'm boxed in here they're just
complaining you can probably still drink it it's okay I will yeah anything else
anyway no Denver's been great so far I walked here that was a great walk you took an hour walk
it's crazy beautiful right down Logan I'd heard of the street before nice little neighborhood
and I just do crazy it's like like the greatest walk you're going to get in as in a city I had a
buildings to be bothered by.
I got an Uber because it would be a 10-minute drive or an hour walk, and I had all the
Yokiero stuff.
I tried to get you on your scooter game.
Yeah, he told me there's some limes.
Cool.
Okay.
So I might lime it here.
Or I'll lime at home.
I don't know.
I mean, who knows?
Crazy, dude.
Not home, home.
I mean, just to our Airbnb.
Bet payoff.
Bet payoff, yeah.
How far could you drive one of those things?
I don't know.
You have to have an external power source to charge it up?
We'll load up like 20 of them and Graham will follow you and you just switch him out
when you run out of battery.
Like how there are Tesla charging stations on the way to Dallas?
Is there the same with line?
That would be so funny.
I ordered an Uber.
Just one?
Yeah.
At first and then I'm at, as I'm trying to lock the door, I'm like the, the, the,
door lock thing just falls out onto the ground.
I realized I can't just leave right now.
I'm going to have to alert the guy and now the Uber pulls up and I gave him the one
minute, one minute and thinking in my head, I'm going to over-tip this guy.
I'm going to lavish a tip on this guy.
Whatever that means, going to tip him extra few bucks.
It's going to be worth it for this guy, this great dude who has stopped here to take me.
And so I had to call the guy, the owner of the house.
real quick. Tell him the locks broke. He's like, I'll get right out there. I'm going to fix it,
blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, well, I'm leaving right now. I got to go. You may have heard of
the dumb zone. Really taking everything by storm. And I get off the phone with him. I go back to
the Uber and the guy's gone. Yeah. I have to order another Uber and they charge me for the first
guy who apparently they have like a count like a two minute that is it we give you two minutes
exactly and i have to blame other people because it must other people must make them wait a few
minutes and then not to tip extra i thought they would just assume this guy's really going to uh
appreciate that i've waited a little bit for him but this guy did not you got to communicate
that so f him if i find his let's see what's his name we'll kick his ass i'm gonna put i'm gonna put
out there if you are in denver and you are told that that's i you're good dude chill out bro
no i'm fucking somebody up today it's to get the denver it's not thomas oh antonio watch out for
antonio bro this guy won't wait for i don't need to uber i'm stepping just going to walk everywhere
yeah i think so what do you got for uh today how do you how many steps do you get for uh i don't
I don't know.
I went and ran this morning.
So it's probably a little...
This guy's running up on me.
This is all I got.
It's the number of the devil.
1666.
That's tough.
You want to talk about the game or something?
Talk to Fitz.
What's Fitz doing?
Oh, yeah.
Later today on the program, we will have Chapie and Jared
for Chapie's lock of the week.
That's where Fitz comes in, too.
Can't wait.
Fitz will throw a couple dollars on a game on you.
How about this gambling thing, huh?
This NBA bit.
Oh, yeah.
I've been listening to all this stuff.
I keep thinking about, like, envisioning Chauncey Billups being in a poker room
and somebody trying to be, like, being happy that they probably lost their ass to Chauncey Billups because they could say, hey, that's my Chauncey story.
That's exactly what it is.
That's a huge economy.
I don't know what you call it, but there's a huge economy.
but there's a huge economy of rich guys, a lot of them white guys,
who will just piss money away to hang out with athletes,
even if they're getting completely ripped off.
I mean, it's the...
I guess it works the other way, too.
It's how they do the golf scrambles, right?
Right.
You know, just get to...
Charity stuff.
Yeah, sit in a cart with Blake or Chappie, I guess,
for a whole golf tournament.
You've done that?
Blake's been the celebrity on that before.
And I could get it if it were Blake or Michael George.
Jordan, but I don't know.
Chauncey Billups, I guess like if you're a certain type of fan, but that was a bit...
This guy's wearing an LVEe jersey.
Can you imagine if he's sitting there playing poker with Leighton Banderash?
Oh, he'd be barely able to keep it together, you know?
Take the shirt right off me.
So, Chauncey, there's going to be somebody.
Isn't there like 34 right now that are involved in this?
Yeah, I mean, it's a bunch of names that aren't going to matter, but there will be more
that do.
Have you seen the video of the glasses they used to count?
the cards?
No.
I think we have it if we can play it.
It might take a minute to pull up, but, or maybe we don't have it.
Oh, yeah, check this out.
Okay, so when you put those glasses on right there, you see all the numbers on the cards.
Oh, wow.
It's pretty simple for those not watching.
Why wouldn't they just outlaw wearing sunglasses?
You know, I think some places of games and rooms.
Because they want to make sure Matt Mosley can be there.
I mean, you see these guys wearing these all the time.
Chris Moneymaker.
I assume they get.
checked or something, but I guess not.
Because, you know,
the government had a press conference yesterday
with cash there and
some other guy. And they explained
an extremely, extremely detailed
scheme on the card side
of things. On the
wagering side of things, it's just exactly
what we've always thought it is.
There's an injury
report that comes out earlier in the day
and there's a time in
between when that injury report comes out and the
game is played. And during that
time. I know because
I had a family member
who worked for a pro team, but anybody
should know. Those guys on
the team know who's going to play or not at that time
and they know that the injury
reports as questionable. You can give
that information to someone and
they can fade it, you know?
And that's what happened.
And it's as far as risk
reward. The numbers are
tiny, dude. Yeah, I'm saying
even I saw part of that press conference
the feds. And they
like he would tell so and so that you know he played only nine minutes or whatever and then
um they cashed tens of thousands of dollars like like what that's it yeah they would go back to
chauncey billups house and count the money or was this terry rosier they would go back to one of
their houses and count the money as if ten thousand dollars is a ton of money for these guys to
count which it's not so it's like chauncey billips or rosier who make
in the millions
instead of just handing their buddy
10 grand
they're like
I'll give you a tip
that you can get 10 grand with
Yeah
and like to me
that doesn't even feel like
when people say
that Jordan would gamble
because he loves juice
and he just loves action
that's not even that
that's not like
hey I'm so confident
in myself
that I can bet on myself
literally or get an edge
like knowing that you're
going to duck an under
on a parlay
or on a prop rather
that's not that competitive.
That's just like cheating.
Right.
And it's lame.
There's nothing even cool about it,
especially for little tiny paper.
They're worried about how much money
the casinos could lose.
All they've got to do is put a limit on these props.
It's pretty easy.
That juice isn't going to be worth to squeeze
if you're one of these big gambling rings.
You're not going to put that kind of risk in it.
So how would that work?
From someone, like I don't know all those.
Like say you're going online, you know,
just for the general consumer that there's a limit.
Sometimes to certain bets, but like for, you know, if you have an account with a lot of money in it, they can just be like all prop bets, we're going to cut it off at two grand or whatever, you know, whatever number is reasonable.
Like right now in Colorado, you can't even bet on a college athlete's prop bets, specifically to Colorado.
And I don't know about other states, but, you know, there's easy ways you can just regulate that instead of just canceling it all together.
I mean, that sounds like it's sensible, but the numbers that they were betting were not that big.
And even the money, yes, even the money that they did end up stealing, air quote, that's not making a dent in the...
Well, no, because you only know, well, yes, that's true.
In Vegas or whoever, you know.
That's true.
Even if they did it every game, it still isn't that much money.
It's the public trust, the confidence of it.
We did get some fun law enforcement banter out of this.
The operation was called Operation Nothing But Net.
Jesus.
I like it.
Say Magnific.
And then there was a law enforcement official that spoke at the press conference yesterday.
I think this one is talking about Terry Rozier.
She said, as the NBA season tips off, his career is already benched, not for injury, but for integrity.
Bar, just in the hotel room, like, they're not ready for this.
but who knows man it feels on the surface like we were told like with drugs that if you regulate it more
then it will happen less or it will at least not happen on the um it'll be on the up and up when it does
happen and so i don't know if this is an increase i mean it feels like we have an increase in gambling
for sure nationwide maybe an epidemic um i don't know if this means we're just catching them and
reporting them more now, or if it's actually happening way, way more now?
There has to be a giant increase in gambling, just because, let's just say, when I was in
college.
Yeah, no, that's verified.
Even when you were in college, right?
You couldn't.
For sure.
Gamble.
Like, I knew guys who did.
Yeah.
But yeah, you had to have a guy and it had to be a thing.
And it just wasn't so easily, if it was more easily available, I might have done it.
Right.
But it really took a little, you know, time to figure out.
And now you can just do it real quick.
You can do it with the credit card.
And it's something that everybody warned about when getting in bed with, you know, big gambling.
Yeah, it's funny.
But these guys were doing that also before the NBA was allowing their product to be sponsored by gambling, right?
Yeah, it's right on that line.
In 2023, they were warming up to it there.
Al Michaels last night on the call for a Chargers beatdown of the Vikings.
And this is the day that this all happened.
The day that it all happened, he's on the call last night.
All right.
Is that going to sound bad for the audience or just me?
Because if it's just me, I'll fight through it.
No, that's everywhere.
Okay.
Well, that's no fun.
It didn't sound like that when we tested it, did it?
Nope.
Do you want me to play it?
Nothing happening here?
Kill me.
Gross.
Yeah, that's just awful.
What does this sound like?
That sounds awesome.
What is that?
Oh, it was a montage of the Denver bus tour labs I made.
Oh, okay.
Can you throw that in Faradale then?
I might do the bus tour tomorrow.
You were talking about things to do
and everybody's trying to decide what they're going to do.
These guys are all, why?
Because it'd be for fun, for funniness.
Yeah, these all semi-trash.
That sucks.
That's what I said before.
than in Fargo.
Is this him recalling the Super Bowl?
Just Al Michaels completely, he would not be allowed to do an underdog spot.
I'll put it to you that way.
His blatant use of like the over.
Oh, yeah.
This one's not over.
We still have, you know.
He just doesn't care.
To the line anymore?
I thought we're allowed to just talk about this stuff.
I guess it's more a matter of you would think on the day that there's like this massive.
No, you can't just, they don't just talk about it.
The play-by-play guys don't just say.
No, they don't do that.
You don't even hear that.
It started to.
You think?
Yeah.
I mean, it's just not the first time I've heard him do it.
I know that.
In fact, he brought gambling up twice last night.
I think Herbie asked him what was the thing he remembered most about that Niners' Chargers' Super Bowl.
And the first thing he thought of was, well, the spread was 19 and a half.
And the Chargers were throwing a helm airing, and everybody was worried about it.
And then what you're about to play.
Yeah, let's see if this works.
Nothing happened in there?
No, Blake.
I don't think it sounds that bad.
Does this sound bad?
Yeah, it sounds bad.
It sounds terrible.
Okay.
Why did you have bad audio then?
We tested it before the show, I promise you.
I promise you.
But this wouldn't happen on audacity.
It's because you're going to audition.
Oh, shit.
Another win.
Maybe we're too far north.
It's possible.
And how about you say on the day that all this happened?
Michael's saying that.
What about I just saw the story about college kids are now allowed to gamble or student
athletes are now legally allowed to gamble according to the NCAA on pro sports.
On pro sports.
But still, it's a tough line.
And I think probably the reason that they're saying this is it's just impossible to
police.
Yeah.
How would you be able to find every student athlete's account that's betting on this or that?
I don't know
It all seems like
Weird lines intersecting
Yeah
I did think it was funny yesterday
When ESPN's talking head started saying
How bad this gambling ring is
There's a big fat ESPN bet
Logo at the bottom right
That they had to remove during the segment
Yeah we wonder why it's bad
It's on every commercial
All right
So we're going to have you pick lower or higher
Using the promo code
which is fine for us it's fine for us um all right let me play you a little shoddy as we get
ready for this game we can call this sports we've been talking sports though right it's
really all we do let's call to sash oops what if i turned up my audio and then did this hopefully
it plays you get him to get a pitcher of water
be awesome why are you getting up that guy's ass
he just drove us halfway across the country
he's like hey matt you're just sitting there doing nothing
i can tell you what he did i can tell you what he didn't do
about an off day for our boy he didn't make a detour to come pick me up
that's funny
that felt good because that worked that's weird because you were the last one at dan's house
it's true
i wasn't late we're all looking at her watch
oh oh oh oh go ahead let's air it all out
Anyway, we're talking about going to Denver.
Incomplete.
With Shottie.
And of course, we get a bingo early in the press conference the other day.
This is a tough place to go and play.
I mean, it's a good football team.
They're well coach.
They're talented.
Sean's obviously a championship coach.
And, you know, I've played a number of games there.
And shoot, Denver haunts the Schoenheimer's in summer.
guard so I don't want to go back to uh whatever it was whatever year it was it's bad but uh yeah
the old fumble and jeremiah castile but um yeah it's tough place to play the fans are made but i told
you guys today i said hey i love going there because it's going to be loud and crazy and that's what you
want sorry dan yeah but that's just a that's a bingo yeah my dad because he brings up his dad
yeah doesn't really have anything to do with him but sure
Okay. You know what? I don't have this deck. Apparently, I saw it online. It was Machota had said about the Cowboys game in 2017, how much his game has evolved, every which way, honestly, I think it was my second season.
You want to hear it? Oh, you have it? Yeah. Well, well, look at Blake. Swoop in. Just lapping me. Make me look the fool eventually.
Yes, for sure, yeah, from not only just me, but from the whole group, right?
And he'll then, as any leader and coach decide, you know,
determine how he takes that information in, you know,
and whether it's great information or, you know, we already knew that.
So, yeah, it's a collaborative effort from everybody.
And so, yeah, all hands on deck.
How was your game evolved since you last night?
A little early.
Every which way, honestly.
Yeah, every which way.
I mean, I think that was my second season.
I hadn't even been doing quarter.
I hadn't even had, like, training, personalized training yet.
You know, I came in as a rookie and played so well that I was just telling the coaches,
no knock to any of my coaches.
I mean, I wouldn't, yeah.
But like, I almost didn't get coached in the details of the position because I started off so hot, right?
Nobody, hey, don't mess with him.
Don't ruin it, right?
That year two was tough, and that's probably why it was a down year for me is I'm a guy that
wants to push, wants to get better, wants to be coached hard.
Didn't have a lot of growth from year one to year two,
which is also on myself, right, having a whole off-season.
So I can't even begin.
Every part of my game has evolved and changed and gotten better since then.
I think that's cool as hell.
I love hearing him talk about that and talk like that.
Like to be self-aware enough, too.
Yeah, it's not a call out.
I mean, it's kind of a shot at Leningham.
Blaming someone else, but he also blamed himself there.
And, you know, in the off-season, I could have been not been just buying penis,
squirt guns.
I believe that might have been that offseason.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, Zeke was here.
Yeah.
They needed eventually for Zeke to not be here.
And then had the bright idea to bring him back to play center.
But he...
And how about that?
A young player who does very well early, though, does mature and improves his game.
I swear to God, did you just make that about Howard Steele just sitting here?
Nobody asked you to do that at all.
I've seen a lot of Lucas stuff going around.
Dude, God.
I told...
We're sitting here, just having fun.
Man, I hope they get run by the wizards.
Stop knowing who they play.
Can we say on the Cowboys, please?
Yeah, I'm fired up, dude.
This is going to be, this is going to be a lot of fun.
You get the strength versus strength matchup.
You've got to have a great unit on your side to get any of these,
but this is probably the best defense they'll play.
It's one of.
Play a shit ton of man.
They have PS2 to cover Pickens.
There's a CD.
Yeah, CD.
This is one of those games where the fact that, you know,
usually CD in the slot is going to mean he's against somebody who can't cover him.
The Cowboys' Best Corner plays in the slot.
So, I wonder if.
But CD, Jake Ferguson, the Cowboys have done a really good job this year of throwing out of running sets
and throwing out of play action on running sets.
and that's not something they did before.
They're a machine.
They're Schottenheimer, Clayton Adams' deck.
They are a machine.
And Denver wants to load up the box.
They want to play man.
You're going to have to have, I wouldn't expect Pickens to go off,
but C.D. or Ferg should be able to shake loose.
I just, on the other side, it's Denver's offense is way better than Dallas's defense.
It's not good.
It's pretty inconsistent.
Very.
So people here, people here.
seem pretty frustrated.
People are calling for Sean Payton, like, dude, this guy needs to stop calling plays.
People were pissed, and then all of a sudden, the fourth quarter last week.
Yeah, the fourth quarter has completely changed the narrative on that game.
Maybe there is no narrative, but he, uh, Bo Nix is second to only Mahomes in, like,
throws that have traveled over 25 yards in the air.
He's completed two of them.
He's just chucking it.
Second to Mahomes in what?
In attempts that are over 20, it's either 20 or 20.
So he's made a lot of attempts?
Yeah, and not hitting on any of them.
And then the rest of their offense, they lead the league
and throws behind the line of scrimmage.
So that's an incredibly frustrating way to play offense
unless you're Patrick Mahomes.
And actually completing the long ones.
But you don't have to be good to beat Dallas.
So I don't know, man.
This feels like one where if Dallas could get it,
they'd have momentum.
Broncos' favor by three?
three I think it's three and a half right yeah it's gone back and forth oh is it really all the
betting is on the cowboys what does that make you think um when all the betting is on one team
does you like to go the other way yeah but it's always the the cowboy's fan is like one of the most
irrational in the betting you probably know that right like the cowboy fan moves lines Texas fans
move lines in a way that people who actually pay attention to gambling like fits factor in
for me I'm just like my life would be so much better if the Cowboys keep winning
so I think they're going to keep winning it's not a lot of analysis into it I
I mean I know the ways they can beat them I know the ways they're vulnerable but at the end of
the day they're evenly matched teams and you're just hoping Dallas has a machine gun that
can't be stopped is there any chance this is like a Giovante revenge game
yeah because did Denver just kind of let him walk without even yeah same way
that Dowdle got treated?
Whatever he needs, I'll take
because they're going to have to be able
to run the ball a little bit.
So, I feel like he's, like, every game
is a revenge game for him.
Yeah, I don't know if he was asked about it this week.
But Shottie was being asked about
Giovante Williams, and we get a little
bingo in here, and then we
right, when we're, right, after a win,
things are just fun.
I've been playing you audio from earlier this week.
just how much fun they're having.
They still have their ping pong table.
We're going to keep having fun, but yeah, that's right.
By the way, I'm taking it.
So I'm trying to, I will report every game before the game.
It appears that Denver, the Intel, unable to determine whether there's a ping pong table or not.
There's never really been a story about a ping pong table being installed or not.
That's why that line had moved because Vegas doesn't know if they're going.
They still have their table tennis.
I'm very interested in following this from now on,
ever since that article came out,
detailing every team's history
and this week's news
that the Baltimore Ravens have taken the ping pong table
out of the locker room
because we need to focus, boys.
I know.
We're one and four.
Five.
One in five.
Let's just think about football.
But we're having fun.
We're talking about Javante.
Just the suddenness,
the ability to jump cut, the way he would run through contact.
You know, yards after contact to me is a big thing for running backs.
I like big backs, you know, I really do.
I think it's that type of league right now with how everything is, you know,
played and physical.
But you do see a guy that creates explosives, you know,
and I think why does he do that?
Because he doesn't hesitate.
No need for that there.
So that was the bingo asking a question.
But I heard the crowd out here, give it a little chuckle and a point of recognition when he said this.
Are you following along with this, Blake?
I like big backs, you know, I really do.
I think it's that type of league right now with how.
So a few people out here kind of thought that was funny.
You guys are following that?
Yeah, I like that.
I have a feeling I know where this is at it.
I love the cough before he thinks he's going to say something funny.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think he was prepping for that?
Oh, yeah, no, no, definitely.
He wants to get your tension in a way.
Oh, yeah.
Bigbacks.
Okay.
He's, yeah.
Well, as the next question arrives.
We knew of something that we wanted to add to our team.
Packard.
I caught it.
I caught it.
I actually started to sing the rap song.
Yeah, I got it.
Yeah, I got it.
Yeah, sir.
You're black, you know.
So it makes a lot.
I like being backs.
Some people just got it.
Some people just got it in the battle.
I don't think it was that funny.
Leave it to my man right there.
Yeah, it's going to be hard to follow.
Oh, coat switch incoming.
You get two questions.
Back it up, back it up there.
We've got to go back to about right here.
Now that him and Patrick Walker,
now that he's got a black guy he's friends with,
listen to this.
Leave it to my man right there.
Yeah, you guys can be hard to follow up with.
Yeah.
You get two questions.
Oh, gosh.
All right.
This is great.
Patrick Walker, down at scowboys.com.
I too like big back.
I too like big backs.
Yeah, I'm just like you.
I really hope they don't get their head kicked in.
Nothing bothers Blake more than Patrick Walker asking a question.
He's a great writer.
I saw the rest of your file.
It goes on for another minute.
Well, I did.
I ask in-depth questions.
No, he inserts himself into his questions.
Hey, I know.
to well let's see good morning coach more do you don't are you gonna play the whole thing
look how long it is so going to George Pickers really quickly yeah no he did say really
quickly yeah we'll be the judge of that was been the production that he has for you guys
and also locker room etiquette joining the brotherhood and so forth and so on DPI
component of us I want to throw some stats at you from his great we're we're throwing
some stats at Shottie please make this stop
shot he has no idea about these stats 16 yards game that you guys have gained on his DPI penalties
first in the league please he hasn't asked this question yet no score on drives in which he's drawn
all right we are halfway through we can't play this anymore okay well we'll tease ahead sure
the second half of that will be brought to by yo chiro all right the black bean bit in particular
no but so they do talk yes it it takes them a while to get to the whole point but they're
talking about George Pickens
and
Shottie somehow makes
George Pickens talk about him
though.
No way.
You know, that's who he is, but
you know, what I'm most excited about is how much
fun he has playing the game.
And like, that's, I got home late last night
and I guess he was miced up, which I don't know
who decided to have him miced up, Tad.
That's interesting, but probably like
Mike and Mia, but, um...
Oh, you never know what you're going to
gonna get this fucking guy is certifiably crazy it's george pickens look where he's done that'd be like
me yeah you know wild card shoddy over here you never know man i'll maybe i'll bring up my dad
or some other cool story i have that's insane he actually thinks that he's that guy he
george pickens is is mentally not all there the nice tri-buddy clip has lived in my head since i
saw it like he has multiple personalities out there which one was that
Oh, he purposefully gets Lattimore to, like, shove him at the bottom of a pile.
Then he gets up and very joker, like, nice try, buddy.
Oh, yeah.
He's the Joker.
He's insane.
He's a weird guy.
And Shottie, it's just 1A, 1B, man.
You'd never lose cannon this guy.
That would, yeah, there would be the least watch miced up ever.
They're like, the NFL presents Brian Schottenheimer.
Dude, but he'd know he was miced up, right?
He would get into it.
Yeah.
He's a guy who wants to be miced up, so then when he is miced up, it's...
Then he can complain about why'd they mic me up.
I guess, once again, they want to hear from me.
I mean, yeah, I guess you guys just aren't...
I hate that fake self-deprecating stuff, like, I don't know why they'd want to do me.
They shouldn't do me, though.
I guess you guys just hate coordinating the number one, the number one offense in the NFC.
If that's what you hate, you had all these points?
Ask the other coordinators if they were like the highest paid quarterback receiver, another one receiver,
three first on the offensive line.
a tight-in that's paid up for a little bit.
That seems fun.
The Eagles have a lot of guys signed up as well, you know.
I was told they weren't going to be able to build a roster with this quarterback.
They overpaid.
Is that how the Eagles won the Super Bowl?
How are you equating?
They have a great offense.
I said the Cowboys have a great offense.
Blake said that doesn't count.
So they can hang the great offense banner at the end of the season?
Hey, Shottie's in charge of his half.
The ping pong half is scoring points, boys.
Give Shottie the Titans.
and then let's see what he does.
He's not the coach of the tide.
Do you know what he would do?
You'd have him playing ping pong and scoring 40.
So Shottie's just the offensive coordinator play caller.
So we have to look to the head coach for who's controlling this whole team.
Defense is getting better.
That number is coming around, the turnover number.
You guys are sick.
You're sick.
You thought he'd be gone by now to lighten it up like his dad did.
Of course, I was friendly.
I mean, I'm a friendly guy.
You know that.
Oh, stop making.
When I'm in the middle of defense.
him don't hit me with a body blow
where he's being lame
this is from today
I felt really good that
Bangor was going to be able to pin him back there
can Brandon make that kick of course he can
did we talk about it we did
Did you hear the double? Did you hear the double
hold on hold on
I'm really good that Bangor was going to be able
to pin him back there
can't can't do we talk about it? Of course he can't
did we talk about it we did
at the end of the day
at the end of the day
he's so cool
and you know it
yeah
that's what
Maybe this is the way.
Maybe this is the way.
Yo, what's up at Shottie?
All right, let us take a break.
Okay.
We'll mix and mingle out here at the dive-in in Denver.
We will be here Monday as well.
Can order some food that we can dip in our dips?
Let's order some food.
And then in a few minutes, we will have Chappie and Jared and Fitz
and we'll make some picks and stuff and football.
All right.
Oh, the Denver Broncos.
I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, explain to me why it isn't.
You just don't understand football, Margie.
You're listening to The Dumzone.
We're live.
You're looking live at the dive-in.
Denver, Colorado, where the Dumb Zone is broadcasting, thanks to Yo Kiro.
Yo Kiero brands.
Dips.
Dips.
It's quite a few different kinds of dips, right?
Oh, yeah.
It is a Texas-based avocado, guacamole, and dip company with state-of-the-art facilities.
Their mission is selecting and growing the freshest and finest ingredients.
Yokeero creates delicious, handcrafted, handcraft.
They use their hands to craft these products that can be found in most local retailers.
Let's see.
How about these little guys?
What are these little guys called?
The grab and goes.
Those are great.
I'm stocked up on Yokiero at all times.
No taking the time to make this, to make your guack.
Just open and serve.
Great for watch parties.
Draft parties.
And it says here,
kid birthday parties,
and then in parentheses,
Blake,
who has been to more kid birthday parties this year
than anyone here,
I guarantee it.
I answered two emails yesterday on the way here
that were nothing more than I need to invite Blake
to my kid's birthday.
Well, I didn't see him.
How did I do with you?
Well, keep a look in your spam folder.
or something because they're coming and you can show up with a bunch of grab-and-go
bean dip and avocado salsa.
Oh, can you imagine the look on that little three-year-old's face when he opens up.
He opens up this wrapped present and is like, is this the alote dip?
The grab-and-go bean dipper.
How about the jalapeno ranch?
Oh my God.
Yeah, we're bawling.
We need to get some fries over here.
Have you been to more kid birthday parties this year than you've ever been to in your life?
Yeah.
How many do you think you've hit?
Do you know about this bit?
He's, well, go ahead.
Guess appearances?
Just a little kid.
He likes to kill time with him on the weekend.
He's got his kid all weekend.
And so he has opened it up to listeners.
And he's like, if you're having a kid birthday party, I'll show up with my kid.
He's volunteering to wedding to kid crash, basically.
And his kid doesn't know any of these other four-year-olds.
Yeah.
And the other day he went to one.
But he just starts playing with him.
The other day he went to one where our buddy who doesn't live here.
told him that his buddy was having a part.
An Indian was, I'm sorry, I think I get that wrong every time.
Yeah, we were one of very few whites there.
Persian party, perhaps.
Feather?
Oh, don't.
They didn't even know.
Mace didn't know me, no.
And he just shows on.
He had a pool.
So you don't have to do as much parenting?
Is that basically the goal here to tie your get out?
Yeah, because if I'm home alone with them, it's probably bluey or something.
And out of the house, he gets to play with other kids.
He gets cake and ice cream.
He has a great time.
Do you sneak off and watch football?
You get to meet some cool people.
Moms.
Get the network.
Scouts some moms.
Oh, the moms love me.
Look at this guy.
Yeah, what if you end up stealing the wife of one of these guys who invites you?
Wouldn't that be great?
You had the boy by yourself all weekend.
Yeah, it's pretty tough.
Damn.
But I'm a good father, you know.
You know, I just want to be there for him.
My biggest fault.
I didn't do skin to skin.
No, I know.
It's kind of gay, isn't it?
No, I'd just take them to birthday parties.
Anyways, you know Berline?
Because I do.
So find...
This guy does.
Find your Yoke Hero at Albertsons, Tom Thumb,
or go to the store locator on their website,
which is yokeherobrands.com.
I'm a big dip guy.
You know that.
I have dip expertise.
Right now it's time to get Chappie's lock of the week
and pick some games.
We have fits here.
We have Jared on the line.
We have Chappie.
Do you think my audio will play now?
We have football, weekend.
Little record.
God Almighty.
Literally in the break, in headphones, played fun.
I had to try it again.
It's this chord, it must be.
The cord.
Cod.
Throw in the drop box, I'll play it.
Okay.
Anyway, we do have Chappie and Jared on the.
the line. Good afternoon, Jared.
Hey, what's up? What's up, Fitz? Going on, Jared.
Oh, you know these guys have spent some time together.
Why?
Just a little media.
Baseball. Lots of baseball, of course.
Over the years.
No gambling talk ever.
Never.
Jeez, yeah.
Is that what your whole relationship is built on?
Masterminds.
No, it was baseball. He hadn't talked about. I didn't know he was running this whole
thing that he runs. It's kind of amazing.
whole Chauncey boats thing.
Yeah, before I was, when we were covering the Rangers,
we didn't really talk about it that much.
And when I quit kind of working for Fox Sports,
then I had, man, we waste all this time.
We should have been talking about gambling.
They did mention yesterday the Toronto Rangers, did they not?
Didn't like in that press conference.
They misidentified.
I think they were meant to say Toronto Raptors and said Toronto Rangers.
So maybe there is another shoe to drop, Jared.
See, I thought you were going to see some.
Pre-game hosts for the Texas Rangers.
The LeBron angle, because LeBron was in there somewhere as a guy that they knew wasn't going to play.
Yeah.
Got to have a LeBron angle.
Yeah.
Somehow, in some way.
It's just that his teammate knew.
LeBron wasn't doing any of that.
Never.
No.
I did like the overworked Twitter joke of the week, right?
The picture of Michael Jordan playing baseball saying this is how the league used to handle their gambling problems.
Yeah.
Yeah, those gambling problems hit home for M.J.
But that's a different topic.
Eh, you know, his dad was old anyway.
So speaking of that, wow.
Welcome, Chappie.
Oh, welcome.
I'm high in mind of Jared.
No, I mean, it's, you know, I could never imagine a situation
where my dad is mixed up in some sort of a gambling situation that causes me to.
It would be you they found on the side of the road.
That's true.
That's up, Bob.
That lead in was a little cutting, too.
You know, you said, speaking of old, and then you kind of just paned right over to me.
Yeah, I am.
I am pretty old, but I'm also hooked on gambling.
But are you not, and I don't want to argue with you, but you wear that like a badge of honor your age.
Don't you always like, hey, it's pretty good for 68 or like, right?
I actually do.
You love telling everybody how old you are, yeah.
Yeah. No, I take that as a compliment. I mean, it's not easy as it used to be to try to keep the motor running and stay in shape. So, yeah. I think it's a big part of Nate Bargotsie set the other day that Dan and I loved because it just made us think of Chappi of like anything you do. You're like not bad for an ex-year-old man. And it is, he said it's a compliment, but it's a compliment if someone else says it. It's not a compliment if you point.
out to yourself. If every time you do it, you're like, hey, pretty good for, sort of.
The difference in that is that when you get my age, you don't give a rip about what anybody
else thinks about it. So if I have to start my own parade a little bit, I'm going to bring
a little love over here toward me. Are you want to see if this audio works now? This is Thursday
night football? Yeah, this is a lead into number one. Let's see. Or should I play a little first
to make sure? A wire? That sounds good, right? Yeah, it does. This is just from the first. It's
pretty simple they're lining up for a first field goal here will rickert will rickard is the uh
vikings kicker we've talked about him because of this year was when he hit a wire with the camera
in london and this one is good okay so you remember that we talked to brandon about it brandon seemed
pretty pissed and he's like yeah no that the hundred percent should have been taken off the board
Yeah, he said you could clearly see the trajectory, and then it changed.
I mean, everybody knew that.
So later in the game, towards the end of the game, he lines up for another one.
Really, really tough, but again, it was predetermined.
Get that ball to him.
Surprise their kicking this.
The 32-yard field goal attempt.
The league wants to take my lunch away because I said before that Rikers-only miss was hitting a wire in London.
The league says, no, no, it was an optical illusion.
Not what Riker thinks.
Anyway, there you have it.
We cleaned it up.
Almost cleaning up our mess.
My mesh.
24-6 is a story.
Okay, that's not a real apology.
No, it's a, that's why I was trying to play the over thing earlier,
because that over-thing was with two minutes left in the game,
Al had already been wilding.
He was already in the mode of like, okay, you're going to call me and tell me it's an optical
illusion, right?
I mean, they clearly called up there during the game, whoever it is,
Gadell on the red phone or whoever, and he's like, he'd,
He can't be saying that.
You know how we pay you $20 million a year and you don't really even follow the teams anymore?
We can tell.
Yeah.
What if you just make a correction here?
And then he's like, yeah, how about I don't?
Pretty much he did.
How about I don't?
And then he landed it.
Well, Riker doesn't think that.
So call it what you want.
It's a great space of life for Al Michaels to just be in full effort mode.
Dad, back to you.
I'm pretty much probably.
Yeah.
Yeah, so who's up first here?
All right, yeah, every week, Chappie joins us for his lock of the week,
but first these guys give us their cowboy thought.
We get one other pick and then the lock of the week.
So, and let's even throw fits in here.
He's a guy who certainly looking at the wet to peak on you.
Cowboy thought, cowboy Broncos.
We had it at three, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Did this move from three to three and a half?
I do need to know that.
It's a pretty important aspect of this.
Yeah, I did.
It was three and a half and he went down to three.
But I still see it at three and a half in some places.
It's a big half point.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would lean.
A half point makes me just say, I'll take the Cowboys.
I'm just not sold on Denver, you know, like one quarter.
I don't know if that's enough for me to have confidence in them.
Well, what about looking at the cowboys and their deficiencies on the road?
That's what I did anyway.
Well, in the altitude, too, I think might have had something to do with the Giants
collapse in the fourth quarter.
And I was thinking about that, too, because Shottie did make it a point.
Somebody had asked about possibly coming out here early, and he's just like, yeah, we just don't do it.
And Brandon, even in his retelling of the time he's been here to train a little bit
with the guy he played with in USFL, just said,
walking around is
enough of a
like it really
did you feel that today
as you walked from
the Airbnb here?
I feel like if I say no
I'm going to seem like a huge douche
but no my V-O-2 Max
is extremely high
I run sprints like three times
I said no
I know like I'm
I didn't have a vest on this morning
so I actually I felt
I felt great
all right
what do you think
Jared
well i don't know my video two max um so i don't lie yes you do by the
they're hooked up to these guys don't forget it hooked up to machines at the cooper clinic
running like lebron or something i don't want to hear it i don't i don't know what a v o2 max is
you'll get there what is that like your oxygen capacity yes okay all right that's awesome
So do you guys know
I was looking up the box score
The last time
I mean maybe you guys have talked about this
The last time the Cowboys beat the Broncos
Are you guys aware?
Beat 99?
In Denver you mean?
95.
Oh, no, no, just ever.
Wow.
Yeah.
September 10, 1995.
Anthony Miller had three receiving touchdowns
for the Broncos in a loss.
Wow.
The Cowboys had 38 rushing attempts, 26 from Emmett.
Troy Aikman had his only rushing touchdown of the year.
But that's the last time.
And that was in Dallas.
So you have to go back beyond that to find the last time the Cowboys won in Denver.
I agree with Fitz.
That half points big.
I got it.
I played it earlier in the week at Denver Lane 3.
And I don't love it.
I would probably stay away at three and a half.
I think that, you know, Denver's pass for us.
we've seen that like DAC has been outstanding this is not an anti-dack take or anything there are certain
quarterbacks who are good against pressure uh Spencer rattlers actually won surprisingly and that's
one reason why I thought about playing New Orleans this this week but I didn't uh but Jack struggles
with pressure I think you got the Cowboys kind of in a their values high because of the way they
just absolutely trounced Washington last week it's not a I just don't think it's a great
matchup for Dallas I don't love the fact that it's in Denver I would
stay away at three and a half.
I don't have a ton of conviction,
but if you're like you have to make a pick,
I'd say if you can get Denver Lane 3,
take that with the possibility you might just end up pushing it.
I wouldn't feel great about taking Dallas in this spot.
So if it was three and a half, I'd probably stay away.
Chappie?
Nick's and so on that, Bo Nix,
Bo Nix can move around a little bit.
I think he sucks.
He's not very good against Zone D,
but the, you know,
and the Cowboys do counter to the last.
week they ran more man than zone. They typically run a little more zone. I just don't think
Bo Nix is very good. I think it's a lot of smoke and mirrors and a lot of Sean Payton
getting the most out of him, but he can move around and we've seen the Cowboys have some challenges
with guys like that. Chappie? The Cowboy game.
I've been cold as a fish in the last two weeks, but I think I'm going to get the train
back on the track this week. I don't like what I see out of them. I just don't. The
last month, I just don't like what I see out of Denver. They go overseas. They get into this
gnarly rock fight with the jets. They win 13 to 11. I mean, come on. They come back. They
zoom up and grab 19 points and 4Q last week, heroic comeback. I do agree with Jared, though.
You know, Dallas certainly has their difficulties with a mobile quarterback. It looks to me like
Nix has regressed since last year. Now, I don't know what all those reasons are,
but he doesn't look as sharp as he has in the last year to me. And in addition,
last week you put Lamb on the field and my gosh, man, you've got some real heavy targets
out there right now that I think they can stay within three and a half. So I'm going to take
the Cowboys plus the three and a half. Okay, give us your other game that you like, but
Not your lock yet.
Chappie.
Okay.
I really wrestled back and forth between two, but I'll give you the one.
I like the Minnesota.
I'm back into the college, the Minnesota Golden Gopher.
They're getting nine points going into Iowa.
Now, if you watched last weekend, Minnesota, they manhandled Nebraska.
Now, I get Nebraska's night.
Who here watched Minnesota manhandle Nebraska last week?
Plus a little bit of that.
We got two guys.
Okay, good three guys.
All right, sorry.
My bad.
It's ugly.
Yeah.
This guy over here too, probably.
Well, that whole narrative.
The real degenerates have watched this game, yes.
I knew that would go over good.
That narrative plays into why I think that's too many points for Minnesota.
I mean, you take a look at Iowa last week.
They got a one-point victory over a shell-shocked Penn State.
So when you start talking about two teams, both five and two,
and you're going to give me nine points, Minnesota is well-balanced.
And you saw that last week, again, for those that don't watch Minnesota.
That's good.
But I did.
Just happen to be caught up on it.
And then I started seeing this line this week, and I thought, you know what?
I will make win the game, but I don't think they're going to win by nine.
So that's my pick then that I really like, not my lock,
but I'm going to take Minnesota plus nine.
on the road against Iowa.
Okay, Jared, you're a runner-up to your luck.
Yeah, I will, well, I'll tell you this.
I'll go, if you want, I'll throw one college game in there quickly.
I actually like Aggie, getting, or laying two and a half at home against LSU.
But I'll go, my second pick.
Let's go with Baltimore.
Lamar is a full participant in practice, so, you know, he's going to play.
I got them laying six and a half.
I just looked a second ago.
That's what it's currently at still.
First of all, Lamar really good against NSC teams,
but you got a Baltimore team.
We talked about this a few weeks ago.
I said lay some money on Baltimore to win the division.
Their record sucks,
but they have a really easy schedule the rest of the way.
This is a desperation situation.
They really, really need to win.
They're healthy coming off a buy.
They're not just healthy with getting Lamar back,
but they're a lot healthier on the other side of the ball.
I just, I think that you've got an urgency for Baltimore,
Chicago team that isn't great against the run.
They've been a little bit better recently,
but Baltimore's rushing attack is a little bit different
than just your standard strong NFL rushing attack
with both Lamar and Henry.
So I think that this could be a big blowout spot for Baltimore.
I could see them, you know, clearing this number pretty easily,
but I feel good about Baltimore laying six and a half.
This schedule is ridiculous, Dan.
for Baltimore sitting at 1 in 5 coming up you're hosting Chicago and then you are at Miami
at Minnesota at Cleveland home to the Jets home to the Bengals home to Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
they could they could win every one of those games by 10 or more fully healthy so the value
the value is there yeah coming off the buy it's going to be tough but has a 1 to 5
team ever made to playoffs. It's a great question. Marlon Humphrey is healthy now too. If I recall,
I think you got out. Yeah, yeah, that's big. All right. Do you have one that's like not a lock yet?
Your second favorite? Well, actually, would it be Baltimore in the pros? I have one in college. That's my
favorite. You want to hold that. Okay, you can hold your lock. Yeah, Jared just broke that down.
Real quick, Jared, you said, you like to Aggie, I mean, I think you said it was, it's not in
College Station that's in Baton Rouge. Actually, don't hold your line.
At Baton Rouge. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, in Baton Rouge. And that's one of the reasons
I like the number. I think they're kind of overvaluing the nighttime Baton Rouge effect. I just
think LSU's broken. I think that there's a high quit factor. I think Brian Kelly kind of
sucks, at least right now. Whitweeks probably isn't playing. I don't think A&M needs to
score a whole lot to clear this number because I just don't see LSU consistently moving the
I thought last week was a chance for LSU to kind of show, hey, yeah, we have kind of sucked so far, but we're going to turn things around.
I was really unimpressed with how they played against Vandy.
The NFL version of ChatGPT that I was telling you guys about tells me this has happened four times.
One in five to the playoffs.
Oh, really?
1970 Bengals, 2015 Kansas City Chiefs won 10 straight after starting one and five.
The Colts went one in five.
and finished 10 and 6.
And in 2020, that was 2018.
And in 2020, the football team won the division at 7 and 9.
Remember the COVID year, boys, when the division was won at 7 and 9.
I would have thought it's been done but since 17 games.
So, because obviously a better chance.
Yeah.
And since 7 teams now.
Yeah, get in.
But no.
In each conference.
Anyway, yeah, what is your lock then?
Here's fits.
I don't love the betting.
Degenerate gambler fits.
I don't love the betting splits on this.
Mississippi State is the team I'm leaning on.
It was six and a half and it's up to seven and a half,
and all the betting is actually on Mississippi State.
But Texas has, they're down their center again.
He played against Oklahoma.
When I had watched them, yes, I'm a degenerate,
watching the San Houston State game.
Like I got to watch Connor Robinson play center and he was terrible.
And then last week he was forced into action against Kentucky.
And you saw how that offense looked.
Well, now they're down in Michael Taff,
they're a leader on defense
Mississippi State can chuck it
and Mississippi State has been just like right
there every single week and now
they're playing at home against
Texas. I don't like that for
missing a center and missing a safety
going on the road in the SEC
and now I got its touchdown plus a point
or plus a half point so 7.5
is my lock of the week.
All right. And Jared,
your lock.
I'm going to
go so last week i talked to you about how mike tomlin is a road favorite that's an auto fade
mike tomlin as a home dog is an auto play so i've seen that number at three and a half i got it
at three and a half even at three i think i'd still like it um so i think pittsburg's at home this
yeah yeah i'm saying pittsburgh yeah uh pittsburgh's at home sunday night against green bay
the revenge factor i think a lot of people talk about that i was actually doing a little bit of
research quarterbacks who have some sort of a legacy with a team going and then playing that
team for the first time. They actually don't do that well. I'm not going to read you the entire
list for the last one to actually beat their team. Former team straight up in that spot was
Drew Breeze against the Chargers when he was with the Saints. So that can, you know, give you
a little sense from a timing standpoint. So it's not so much a Rogers with the middle finger to
Green Day. But Pittsburgh has a major rest advantage, right? They played on Thursday. They've also played
like one game in the last oh we're now we Jared and cock his head there we could
we couldn't hear you for 10 seconds Pittsburgh has played one game in the last big rest well
pick pick oh no no they had a buy then they played a Thursday game uh so uh I I think that they
and they're healthy again talking about teams getting healthier getting high Smith back
defensively. You saw Jalen Warren. He looked a lot better the other day, even in the loss.
I just think that Pittsburgh is in a really good spot here. Green Bay does not play well against
Pittsburgh. And Green Bay, to be honest, you guys, you know, you don't crown a Super Bowl champion
in the middle of the year. They very well, you know, come playoff time, could be in the mix.
They have not looked like a Super Bowl contender, which is what, you know, I think a lot of
people believe them to be. They've played with their food offensively. The fact that they don't
have a number one receiver, I think still is a problem for them.
They've got a bunch of twos and threes.
And so I just, they've been winning games, but it's been really unimpressive.
So they might win, but Mike Tomlin is a home dog to me.
It's an auto place.
That's my lot.
They've been winning games because of Micah, it seems like.
Yeah.
Every last game, I just saved them last week.
Yeah.
The three sacks, the pressures, I mean, they were having a tough time to Kobe Berset
until Micah decided that he was going to remind everyone how good he is.
Yeah, the rest of their schedule.
Well, I guess when it's division games, you don't know.
Yeah.
But they still got Detroit or Chicago twice.
Who knows, Minnesota twice?
Chicago's...
Yeah, it's unknown, right?
I mean, I'm a cowboy fan, so I'm saying the bears are awesome.
Right.
It's a great, great loss.
Everybody's going to look back and be like, man.
And then the reason we're all here, Chappie's lock of the week.
Well, you know, I hate to...
It's not to be an exciting pick, but, man, Jared just took it right out from underneath me as well.
I've had this game picked ever since Tuesday or Wednesday of taking the Steelers at home plus three and a half.
I know that's, you know, not probably trying to piggyback on another guy, but I had this down.
I look at it from, I do look at it from a Roger.
and the dude over all these years there's certain games he will go and do whatever he has to do
whether it's motivate the defense I do think the home crowd and the noise is going to play into it
I think you're going to start to see Hayward and Watt off the ball quicker because you know it's
going to be noisy in there and loud and ruckus I'll give you one stat Green Bay's they average
26.3 points a game, 26.3. The Steelers are at 25. The Steelers have a bad defense. There's
no doubt about it. And they've had rankings all the way down from 20 to 32. But they're allowing
23 points a game. Green Bay is allowed in 20.5. So your point differential isn't that far off.
Lastly, Green Bay is one in five against the spread. They're not covering to Jared's point playing
food they're not getting
that big
huge separation wins
most of the time they find themselves trying
to fight their way out
is Green Bay the better team? Yep
probably is
but in this particular
shot I like
I like I like
Mike Tomlin
so I'm going to take to three and a half
there it is
Chapie's mock
of the week
and congratulations to you Jared
not on
anything having to do with little humans
but on your real high standing in the Monopoly League.
Way to go.
You're destroying this year.
Thank you, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you, so you're...
I'm at the very bottom.
The very bottom.
No, no, I always check to see how you're doing.
This could be an incredible comeback story.
Right.
It would be, because I'm barely hanging on to even be able to be in the league.
But it's a pleasure to watch you play, really.
Just to be anywhere in the same.
sentence as Jared Sandler.
That's not true, but I will gladly represent the dumb zone.
Who are you, have you, had you figured out your four picks?
You got to go for $100 picks, right?
Fake money.
Now, this is a talk that people don't want to hear.
So thank you guys for joining us.
Sounds good.
Thank you guys for joining us.
We just did a segment on picks.
I'm asking you your four picks.
I don't know yet.
And people don't want to hear about the fact that I'm hanging on in this Monopoly
league.
to hear guys who know what they're talking about and that is you guys so I appreciate
they can come take it from me they can come take what does that even mean let's go all right
thank you guys thank you for joining us and uh this week's picks are brought to us by trident
access services is that what they call themselves yeah I call them trident garage doors
well that's not their name well I know but they come out and they uh they actually did a tune-up
on my garage doors found some pretty serious problems with
The drywall and the previous garage door company I used
didn't find the stud.
And my garage door was in danger of falling on my vehicles.
Yeah, that's right.
There's a plural there.
We got two cars.
Damn, dude.
We're doing great.
So if you're doing great well enough to have actually two whole vehicles
and a garage that will hold them,
you should check out tx trident.com.
You should tell them you heard about them
from the dumb zone
or through the dumb zone
whatever you'll get you a 10% off
the dumb zone Denver episode
you're still only going to get 10%
but yeah
it'd make this whole thing look good
they are veteran owned
now they're also
first responder owned
and the first responder part of the ownership
gets a little upset
that we just focus on the veteran part
but the veteran part
threatened to kick my ass
if I didn't just like focus on
veterans so
let's just say
that they're owned by strong guys
dudes who have helped out
the world in so many ways
and they can help you out
really in one way
with your garage door or your gate
so check them out please
hey I have a photo in there
real quick it just says it's like a Denver sign
Clayton
I did go on a little
jog this morning and then a little walk
I'm going to add to these
you've already told us how much better you are
I just saw a bunch of houses
is what I'm telling you so this
This is a, this is one for, if you, your dog defecates in their yard.
They have like a custom-made sign there if you want to.
Yeah, it's not a handwritten thing, man.
No, no, no.
If your Snoopy takes a poopie, please be cool and scoop the school.
The stool, sorry.
Damn, I didn't land the, I have dog bags on the tree.
And they do.
That's very nice.
I know.
Now, if you're going to put the dog bag out there, too, that is cool.
Yeah, yeah.
And so it occurred to me, you know, I'm sure there's all types of people here.
You know, we've got a bunch of tough guys in here today, you know what I'm saying?
But you said, like, granola-e.
So, like, I say that as a fellow granola.
I imagine there's, like, a lot of people who drive Subaru's here.
Yes.
And so this guy's like, hell yeah.
And maybe the fish, the sticker that's like to coexist, right?
I think this is a bumper sticker town
I think there's a lot of people here
are like here's my beliefs
I'm going to put them on a sticker
and I'm going to put them on my
tan colored crossover vehicle
and that person also
likely to put signs in their yard
to let you know what they're about
But a cheery little sign
it wasn't like a hey make sure you pick up your
I saw a bunch of them
but they were all fine
it's like so I saw a like your normal
like Black Lives Matter
some political signs for like running
for school board
There's something called Prop 310 that I didn't look up,
but a lot of people are excited about it.
And then I saw one that was like sort of in the stylized
like a presidential campaign sign.
And it just said, the grateful dead.
And where the number should be, it said forever.
And below that it said presidents come and go.
Oh, yeah, bro.
Big time yard sign town, dude.
Jerry's always here with us.
A lot of people.
Big jam band town too.
Oh, sure.
My God, it's pretty much every Friday and Saturday night.
If you want to go see a Grateful Dead cover band or a Fish Cover Band or all the above Alma Brothers, you can pretty much find it.
We're in the right place?
Oh, yeah.
So tomorrow night I'm going to Red Rocks for a show.
And the way that I, like I'll listen to EDM, dance music, that sort of thing.
This to me, whatever this is, the headliner is Daily Bread, DJs or DJ.
But it feels like hippie DJ.
It feels like jam band DJ.
Like, I think that there's going to be, like, wooks, as Jorts would say.
What does that mean?
What's a wook?
It's kind of a hippie thing, dreadlocks.
Just, oh, overly hairy, like a wookie?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Check.
Yep.
Guys who go by the name bear.
That sort of thing.
That's where you feel like you're going to be in the middle of.
Tomorrow night, that's the plan, yeah.
They're into house, and they're into jam, and that's pretty much it.
So if anybody wants to
gather on the trip
We'll talk afterward
Get there early
See that's what everybody says
Everybody says get there early
But I don't want to be there like late
I don't I'm
That's why you get there early
I can do a lot of stuff
That I used to do
Then you can leave her drinking
But if the headliner is at the end
Then it's a
I can do a lot of the same stuff
I just can't do it for as long
But if you get there late
Isn't it going to be difficult to park
And all that?
I don't think about any of the thing
you think about.
Oh.
Maybe on this trip
where you can finally put
that to rest.
Like, is it a beating?
Can you poop?
How far will we get out?
Will I be,
what I want to leave early?
I don't think about any of those things.
You just live?
Correct.
L-I-V-E.
Try?
If you go right at dip.
Right before showtime
is a good move,
although getting out is going to be a problem.
Like if you're going to Uber there,
you get there like right before showtime,
you won't have any problem.
Now if you want to get out,
you're going to, you know,
I'm good to get there real early
and then I'll leave like a half hour
into whatever the headliner is.
I'm happy with that.
You do you.
Yeah.
I'm going to hop on Turo and try to rent one of those
Lesmobiles myself, get myself a...
I thought Turo was the thing that drives itself.
Nope.
What's the thing?
Waymo.
Damn, what's with all these things?
How far is the South Park restaurant from here?
I tried to get us reservations.
It's booked up.
Really?
Yeah.
Where is it?
Oh, it's like 20 minutes away?
Yeah, but it's...
Had we been here on like a...
Well, they're closed Tuesday.
You need a resume.
Yeah.
But trying to get in there
on a Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday, good luck.
Hmm.
What if you mentioned the dumb zone?
Again.
This dude over here with the LVEE,
that's the guy who went to Game Day men's health in Denver.
Oh, cool.
I mentioned the dumb zone.
They said they were very confused,
but they gave them the 10% off.
That's fantastic.
So he got his 10% off.
Where's Boobert?
Is she around here?
Boobert.
Isn't that Lauren, the lady who will kind of grind you in the...
We did sit at a restaurant we sat in and I looked, I don't know, hey, that...
Was it her?
It really looks like her.
It looked a lot like her and I'm like looking up where she's from and we're, you know, no, it wasn't her.
You try to put immediately put beetle juice on?
See if you get her in the mood?
She fed all the profiles of, you know, the age and the look and the glasses.
You know her bit, right?
Like, before she became...
Thank you, Matt.
Matt brought us chips.
Representative.
Let's do some dip.
She ran a sports bar where the servers were encouraged to have their piece on them at all times.
So rather than show their tits, they would, like, have a gun.
Like, so when you're taking their order, they wanted you to have a gun.
All right, there's a certain level of hotness there, right?
A very high one.
I would say that's a high...
I would say if you pair that with jerk off during Beetlejuice, then...
So I don't mean to overhear your guys' conversations, but I do.
And I heard Blake was talking, like, apparently the apprentice engineer through how to get Argyll football in the air last night.
Which I understood, because I've been on the other end of that conversation.
Every time I do a business Wednesday, I call Blake and, like, how's this equipment work again?
Yeah.
And then he talks me through, setting it up and all that.
And then Jake, I think I overheard a little bit of, were you having a little conversation about,
we got soccer this week and we're going to miss the big man, the big man's, Hugh Freeze is going to be in the hospital bed.
Yeah, giving them one thumb up.
Jake is the head coach of a soccer team.
We are praying for rain tomorrow.
We're like four games in and already you're going to be gone.
They're going to be in disarray.
We had a good practice last night.
Look, the program is in place.
Without you.
They practiced.
Yeah, they still have to.
The kids paid their money.
I don't think they're really all that.
The parents don't care if I'm there.
Who's the assistant?
Doyle King's son.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Doyle's son Harold.
And did he give you a report?
I heard they busted ass last night.
Okay.
Well, you don't want him to do too well.
Oh, no, I don't care.
Okay, you need the credit.
I'm about the team. I don't need the credit.
Okay.
But I also hope we're rained out tomorrow morning because I don't want to miss a game.
Yeah.
Have you dealt with that yet?
Yeah, we have a Monday game.
We have a game.
Well, no, not that.
But just calling the rain-out line and just waiting.
And then you've got to inform all the parents and they're up your ass because you haven't told them yet.
But, you know, it's not me.
It's the rec center.
Listen, I'll just put it like this.
I witnessed a time with Bob and Dan where they would come into the meeting.
room and they would have great stories about youth sports. Great on-air stories, like things
that we would, but that we couldn't use on the air because there's like the drama and
politics of the local youth association. And I have just barely dipped my toe and I can tell
you this is going to be a long 10 years because I'm practicing all the skills. Like if they're
already doing this at age 5. I wrote and deleted.
like four emails we all know that bit we're like oh you and then you just calm down and
it's all going to be great but yeah so it's a fun world no puppet what's your pre-ken check
what are you doing tomorrow uh I'm golfing at a private course up here up in the
mountain oh my god it just doesn't stop got invited to play some Denver
off, so taking up the opportunity to do that.
But then tomorrow morning, I'm going to go up to Pikes Peak.
Don't know why.
It just feels like something to do.
He'll skip breakfast.
Are you going to drive up it?
How far is in?
How far away is in?
Over an hour.
You're going to drive up to the...
Yeah.
Two hours?
To get all the way up.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Just to get to the base, it's over an hour.
Yeah, we'll see.
Maybe we get halfway up and decide we're good.
But we'll see.
Hope your brakes are good.
Okay.
Now, see, people are talking me out.
of it. Maybe we don't do it.
But yeah, I'm going to see how far I can hit a golf ball in Denver, and then, yeah, just
get ready for the Cowboys game.
We might see a record-breaking kick on Sunday, as you said, you were talking about, you
might hit a record, you know, golf shot for yourself.
I'm just thinking about that.
We're hoping.
This is a perfect scenario for, like, a 74-yard field goal.
God.
Do you think you'll hug us afterward?
Do you think we'll see him after the game if he breaks the record?
He'll probably be pretty busy
Of course
I'll go see him
Ooh yeah there you go
You will see him before the game
Like do you watch him do the pregame kicks
That kind of
Oh yeah
He gauges his distance
Oh yeah
That's the time and he'll go tell Shottie
Yeah that's why I asked him about it in New York
Because typically he'll kick twice
And like I'm good
But in New York he kicked a bunch of balls into the wind
Just to see what it was doing
But yeah he
I love seeing him before the game
And after
And then do you walk down to the field with Burline?
Or this isn't, who were you walking onto the field with,
taking selfies with, or you were taking pictures of Baldi, right?
Yeah, oh, yes.
The Baldi thing, everybody, okay, Burline doesn't do that.
No, no, no, no, no.
Baldy would walk out and interrupt their warm-ups in pre-game to just talk to them.
And they're all bro-hugging in.
They love them.
Yeah, they love them.
They're asking for a breakdown, and I would just take snaps of them.
but yeah.
No, I'm sure Ted, Steve, and I will get a picture on the field before the game.
Of your ill-fitting coat.
I think it fits just fine.
Do you have any plans this weekend, Clayton?
I hear everybody else has plans.
And I like the fact that Clayton also doesn't have plans like me.
He's just going to live, just kind of whatever happens, happens.
There you go.
I got a breakfast spot for us tomorrow.
I'm going to close this place down tonight, so I'm going to eat a few meals here.
hang out
I will be here
until the last
I'll just be here
for an extra hour
or so
I just kind of
stalked around
Irish goodbye
probably nothing
too eventful
at all
yeah
but we'll be
back here Monday
we will
I don't know
if everybody else
will
lots of people
who live here
I don't know
if anybody
just drove in
for this event
I was curious
about that
or for the Cowboys
event
is everybody here
to live in
everybody here
live here
no okay
got to
most
a show of
hands. Did anybody drive from
the FW? There we go.
Okay.
Way on the back. I should. Maybe I'll drive
back with him.
On a lime scooter.
Anyway, want to do
some news, or what are we doing? Let's
promote Yo-Ciero again
by doing this.
Let's have a little bean dip right here
on camera. Give them a promo.
What is the YoCiero website? Here, let me feed
that to you. You want to feed me?
Yeah, here you go. Oh, yeah, bro. Here we do that.
That's so high.
Didn't need that.
I'll eat the rest of it.
Thank you.
Cheers, Bob.
Ooh, got a little wipe a little off my lip, you know what I mean?
Salty.
Mmm.
That thing about that bean dip, I could grab it.
Go.
It's right out of here.
That's weird.
You see the name of it?
It's called that.
So, yeah, yochiero brands.com.
Or go to Albertson's top thumb.
Go to top thumb and wear your yochiero jersey.
All right.
Well
Here's Jay
With the Dumb Zone News
It's not exactly
Los Angeles news
There's not car chases
I don't know if you guys saw the one the other night
Are you watching the local news?
Yeah
Yeah I am
Where this bean dip's great
Available at stores everywhere
That has to be the last one right
What, Chip?
Yeah
I think he's going to do
He's probably going to be doing a lot here but
you're just going to have to manage it
Are you anti-yokiero?
No, I think he's anti-eat.
No, I'm anti-listing to you eat a chip.
No, so this is the most
Denver headline ever to me.
Can you dip a fry in there?
You're putting a fry in that bean dip?
I'll do it, and then he doesn't have to hear the crunch.
Did you like Oppenheimer?
Damn, the fusion.
No, this is the first one I saw this morning.
This story out of Boulder.
Roller-blading man assaults bicyclists with hockey stick.
We're home.
It's got it all.
What more could I ask for other than like this were, you know, fighting over whether
something was actually made vegan or not?
He kind of like decapitate him type thing?
Yeah, there's a, well, he try, I mean, not tries, he does swing high.
Yeah, it's a guy riding on his bike.
I mean, I don't know if I could.
Or was it more like a joust?
Like if you were in medieval times.
It's a swing.
It's a swing in the video I saw.
While rollerblading.
Yeah.
That's good hand-eye coordination.
I don't know if the guy was playing a little roller hockey earlier.
If everyone here just gets a government-issue hockey stick that they carry it all times.
The abs are a popular thing here.
Yeah.
Guys got a ski mask on.
How did the Rockies end up?
Weren't they on pace for like 150 losses?
Yeah, they lost way over 100, right?
They got out of the.
They weren't the worst team of all time.
That was when everybody quit paying attention to him was when they actually started winning games.
Okay.
They're not even close, right?
Like their ownership doesn't care, their farm sucks, all of it.
It's fun.
Because they still, you know, I'm guessing they had over $2 million probably this year in attendance.
Every year, just all the people that come in from out of town.
Yeah, they used to do that.
That's why they became a major league team, right?
They were a AAA team, but they would draw over a million fans.
Something to do, yeah.
They went 43 and 119.
Jeez.
A couple of story follow-ups here.
Do you guys remember Trevor McEwen?
He was the fugitive who cut off his ankle monitor earlier this year,
the day that he was supposed to appear in court.
And then went to his grandma's house?
He made it longer than we gave him credit for when we first looked at it.
Did they find him under the porch?
He was under their house, kind of.
Yeah, like he had dug himself a little Saddam hole under his old Papi's barn or something.
But you looked at the guy and were like, no chance.
They'll have this guy today.
And he made it a solid four or five days.
Maybe, no, it was longer than that, I believe.
I think it was over 10 days.
I think you could make it a long time now.
Me?
Like knew you?
I don't know.
You'd be eating off the land.
I could do, I guess.
Yeah, I can poop anywhere.
Yeah.
Not a problem.
Can run a long way.
You sleep anywhere.
Yeah.
Bugs are all over you.
You're like, whatever.
But I feel like I just taught.
This is a compliment I'm giving you.
I know, I appreciate it.
I run my mouth too much, like the guy we had yesterday who was like, you know,
he was out talking to people on the rung, like, hey, I'm staying away from that road
because I think there might be cops over there.
That would be me.
Just talking shit, give myself up.
Blake doesn't last an hour.
Why?
I don't know, man.
You just seem like you complain about everything like me.
You need a higher level of a Yelp review is what bust me.
Yeah.
Had to give somebody a piece of their mind.
So Trevor McEwen was actually eventually brought to trial yesterday.
He was found guilty of murder.
This took place like two years ago.
It was a fight with a neighbor, but it pretty clearly was race-based.
Like he killed his Mexican neighbor.
He'd been yelling slurs at the guy.
But so, again, stay with me here.
He cut off the ankle monitor.
the morning he was supposed to go to trial.
He was a fugitive.
The evidence against him
is extremely strong already,
and they found him
you know, in this
spider hole or whatever.
He was probably going to be found
guilty. Well, he was,
and his attorney
spoke yesterday about
the goings-on at the trial
and why she thinks it went poorly.
He claimed to self-defense.
Okay, here's what I keep you muted.
Here's what we're going to do.
Try it now.
Try it now.
You're up.
McEwen claimed self-defense and even took the stand.
You don't talk like that.
I left it in here for you.
You don't talk like that.
There's a whole lot of this.
And I also didn't include the more graphic details here,
but she did read the graphic details like that, you know.
Like we walked in, her head was blown off.
McEwen claimed self-defense.
and even took the stand, unable to give a clear answer, and at times, talking in circles,
something his attorney admits, likely hurt his case.
Okay, so- I hate the pregnant pause at the end.
So pregnant pauses also, yes, she's like, look, I mean, on top everything, this guy's not the best
communicators.
Now we're going to go to the lawyer.
Something his attorney admits likely hurt his case.
He's not very well-spoken, and I don't think that he presented himself the way that we
obviously would have hoped, but at the same time, he is who he is.
he does not communicate well
and I was concerned
that what did happen would happen
that's probably what it is
it's probably just that he's not a good communicator
not that he is a murderer
not that like everyone has all this evidence
that he murdered these people
he can't recite the lies we've told him
right basically but I love this scenario
where she thinks this guy was going to walk in there
and just dance on him like he's Johnny Cochran
like and just take over the case
I think he was probably screwed from the beginning
lady I'm not really sure that it mattered and also this tagline in here Blake
thought you'd enjoy this October is domestic violence awareness month and we do
well I am now very aware you know I mean like you know in the grand scheme of
things there was no better month so this is kind of like a good terrorist attack
awareness month September 2011 right like you became very aware yes this story
if you're going to do this,
you want to do it during
this month, right?
It's something.
No.
Not this month.
Of all months.
Oh, this is not the month.
Well, because you're already aware of it.
You don't need to do it again.
Yeah.
Okay.
Another extremely Denver story.
It was actually the top news story last night
on one of the local news.
We were right by Channel 9.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
We walked by it.
No, why would I
Why should we know Channel 9?
It was a big
There's a big,
There's a big, channel 9
No, no, no, I'm just saying
There's a big TV studio like two blocks
or a few blocks from our house
It looks kind of like the victory park scene
Anyways,
it was a story about a police dog
That was injured
And how the community is rallying support
And they've
That's great, I'm on board
Donations from over
matter from over the dog's name was roam and uh like gym room or like he's just floating around
i think more of the floating around like a dog who roams like did they find it no no this is like a
police dog that got stabbed a bunch of times and they put the picture of the dog on the news to get
those donations is he lined in the bed with a iron marg a wrap around his head and the dog was stabbed
a hundred times
Like the guy who got stabbed by Mark Sanchez.
It's just the dog instead of that guy.
Did you see that picture?
Yeah.
How's Sanchez?
We haven't heard from him.
He's focused on his recovery.
You'll never hear from him again.
Oh, that is a bad take.
I wonder what, uh, you guys are, he's going to be.
What's he's dancing with the stars?
The Redemption.
Good morning football?
Dude, don't.
Absolutely not.
Dude, he's clearly an addict, right?
Whether it's alcoholic, drug addict.
both, whatever, all of it.
He's got a huge pot of gold
at the end of this fucked up rainbow.
No way.
He stabbed a 70-year-old.
There's no coming back from that.
He did it because of the addiction.
Yeah, it wasn't his fault.
It's not about fault.
The demon within him.
It's not about fault.
He just accepts it.
He gets better.
Right.
He goes and speaks about it.
He'll get his football job back.
Come on.
Dude, all that matters is whether or not the person died.
Matt Bush ran over a guy's head with a motorcycle.
But he was still playing, though.
No, but the point is, can you go back to the job you were doing?
He was a mediocre Fox D team.
Let him go.
His star is going to be even higher.
No, it's not.
He's gone.
You've seen the Ryan Leaf sort of glow up to her?
And then they're going to go ask Dak.
What was he like when he was?
He was fantastic.
The guy, he never tried stabbing me at all.
Ever.
Ever.
When he ran sprints with me, it was to help me.
So, like, past 10 o'clock on a local,
set or local commercial break there's going to be
sanchise hey i stab someone no what i'm telling you is that he's going to sit down
you can recover from he's going to sit down with EA and he's going to talk about it
there's going to be a lot of yeah dude this is happening just to have mark
sanchise back new york the culture needs marks a little time well no we don't why are you trying to
keep him out now i don't i'm telling you man you get like hot guy there's a thing dude it's the same
reason why like Sarah wrote that article about me there aren't that many dudes no that's not what you're in
your pot you're in your prime after hot guy and then you said hey that reminds me of me fine that did not
print well but if you can get guys talking about like being messed up that plays because women
will do it as a matter of course but if you find dudes are like I'm having a hard time what's a
time table for this do you need to well he's going to prison so that's the first thing we're going to
We have one small hurdle.
We do have an example here.
My PR tour.
He's going to need to do some time.
Does Michael Vic do like NFL network stuff?
He's on, he's a talking head somewhere, isn't he?
Ray Lewis killed a guy.
He's coaching, right?
I thought Michael Vic was on TV.
He has been.
He has been.
Michael Vic is back.
I think Vic just, like, fired his D.C. because they suck or something.
But he has been, he's welcome back.
To support Jake, yeah.
He's back in the world.
And everybody's like, oh, he's Michael Vic.
Look at these highlights
But he was awesome
Sanchez sucked
Yeah but he was in New York
And he was in the playoffs
He's not coming back
Like in the AFC championship game
That's like the Jets
You know
That's the heights that they have reached
Since Joe Namath
Is Mark Sanchez
He'll be back
But if Drew Henson had done the same thing
Are we clamoring like oh Drew Henson
Will be
Drew Henson was not a quarterback
In the AFC championship game
And wasn't on two years in a rip
Like, yeah, and he's not as hot.
A couple weeks ago.
The Cowboys held Drew Henson back.
Where is Drew Henson?
What is happening?
This is a bad point you're making, Blake.
I'll write it down and we'll revisit in 20 years when he is nowhere to be seen.
I told you he wasn't done.
Interstitial.
I told you that he wasn't done.
You know that story?
How can I be done with Yoke?
hero it just be calling me great point they've got uh hot dogs wrapped in bacon at the place next
door i'm gonna dump a bunch of that jalapeno ranch on there who um you know the story we had
the other day about the uh the school teacher the high school teacher in alvarado blake was she
hunt uh she's dead she's dead oh you didn't answer my question she was
i didn't know i didn't remember the story sorry that's the very cold of me to say that
I thought it was just a fun teacher sex.
There are a few more details about it.
So the guy, her husband,
Friday, this is a, so last Friday,
police respond to a domestic disturbance call.
They show up and he's threatening to kill himself.
Not her, but he's threatening to kill himself.
They talk him down, I guess, but he doesn't do it.
They talk him out of it, but they arrest him for, like, impeding whatever it is.
Traffic?
No, but like for basically impeding public business.
Like they're trying to do an investigation.
He's not cooperating.
They're like, that is awesome.
You didn't kill yourself.
Why don't you pop these cuffs on?
We're going to take you down.
That's the thing about letting them talk you down off the ledge or whatever.
Yeah.
When you do that, they will be taking you away because you've made us come out here.
I know.
I remember hearing that when I was a kid.
So it's like when suicide was not entirely out of a, you're just thinking about it on your teen.
And they're like, that's actually illegal.
I'm like, that is fucking not.
cool like why would you tell me that i'm already in a tough spot anyways uh they arrest the guy
he bonds out saturday morning they get a welfare check for the wife saturday afternoon they go over
there oh no correct so um the guy then they talked him out of killing himself and he ended up
just going and killing her yeah feels like there's got to be somewhere where there could be more
fail safes in there but at any case um fox four had the affidavit
and because again it is
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
is now very aware
but yeah he
the guy had
texted her friends and family
from pretending to be her
like sent I think like a photo of an injury
and was like I fell and hit my head or something
like imagine trying to text like your wife
I think that would be harder for me to pull off than killing my wife
like convincing someone else that I'm her via text
you'd get it wrong how many emojis should I use
emojis is the first thing I thought of
does she always do it yeah what words do I misspell to be cute
no it's punctuation how much do I talk bad about my husband
do you use punctuation or don't I mean how many exclamation marks
yeah yeah do you use a comma I don't know I think that's where my hiccup would be
and any new word out of Salina in or out of
No, no.
What do you mean?
Hold on, let's rewind for a second.
I'm trying to see if there's any new word out of Argyle
regarding their rivals, Salina,
and their head coach's son who was arrested for the child images.
And I know how these small...
It was shared and mentioned,
and we have since moved on because none of our business.
That's kind of how it's going over there.
nobody's
Well, the news now is that people have known about this for a long time.
Like, have known that he was doing it.
Yeah, he's the, he was a coach at the junior high.
He's the son of the head football coach in AD.
Who's a legend, right?
Correct.
Yeah.
The current at Salina?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
And what are they saying?
Just that this has been known for a while, that there's a cover.
Look, a lot of parents and anonymous sources coming forward now saying, like, you know,
we've heard stories about this guy since back in 20.
It's like someone going to Joe Pah saying, hey, I think this Sandusky might be.
And he's like, ah, look.
Good dude.
It's a good dude.
And then actually, when my computer crashed, I lost the one story that Dan wanted to make sure we did today, which is Illinois man arrested after pretending to be Sammy Hagar.
The details are funny, though.
The guy just looks like fat Sammy Hagar, which honestly, every dude, if you just let your hair grow out and bleached it, you could pull it off.
It seems like a great, that seems like a good name to try to imitate.
Yeah, because it's not, it's a good tier, right?
You don't want someone so famous that everyone's immediately like no way.
Right.
But it has to be a name.
Like if you're always in the news, but I haven't heard that name in a while.
Kind of looks.
Yeah.
And then you're not going to say it.
you're not going to be like you don't look like him, you're ugly,
because Sammy Hagar is probably ugly now, right?
He's old.
But a good name.
Good name.
That's a good callback, and it might elicit some, you know, ladies to let's go.
I mean, you're Sammy Hagar.
If you're in the right demographic, for sure.
Yeah.
And looking at him, he's not going to say no to whoever buys this ruse.
He's beaten, maybe a little bit beaten looking like Hagar,
but he's also like, he kind of looks like Don Vito for.
any jackass fans out there like he's real jowly like it's big um but he's only 58 he was he did this
at two different locations in this town in illinois two banks and a vape shop which is just
it's excellent they must have had their you know classic rock 10% off type thing that's
also uh included in the story that witnesses say that on
multiple occasions, he would even perform brief acapella versions of Hagar songs, such as,
you know, I Can't Drive 55.
That was a big deal when my stepdad got into the mix.
He was a big Hagar guy.
Oh, wow.
Van Halen posts Eddie Lee, excuse me, David Lee Ross.
Van Hagar.
Van Hagar.
And I had just heard, is it, Joe Dirt?
I think might be
there's a movie quote
that's like
it's Van Halen
not Van Hagar
and I would just yell that
but actually
Van Halen was Sammy Hagar
absolutely rips
but it was just a nice
little
nice little
impersonation story
like are you
But he didn't get away
or I wonder
how much did he
get away with this
like this isn't the first time
he's done this
no I mean they said
it's like a buddy
or somebody said
you kind of look like
this guy
Right, and he immediately was like, that is definitely the quickest shortcut I have to Poon, so I'm taking it right now.
If McCarthy doesn't get back in the game, and Bo waits like two years.
Bo, our friend, who's, yeah.
Bo from Santa Fe could all of a sudden just show back up in Dallas at an Albertsons one day and convince the cashier that he's.
I mean, there's a world where you keep not aging, because, like, you're not really, but Shoddy keeps aging.
I can be shoddy.
You're, because you're pretty, yeah, I feel like you're not far off.
I don't know what that gets you, what that gets you at a vape shop,
but we can try to find out later if you want to go together.
Did I have to poop?
Yeah, could I?
No.
No, no.
All right, there's news.
Uh, right.
The Dumb Zone News.
Like and subscribe.
That was a good news.
I've been informed that we have breaking news.
in this one area of Texas.
Give us a punctuated chip beat.
Hi there, folks.
It's time for Hood County News.
Oh, yay.
It's been a while.
Didn't expect to see you here.
So is this where you go to the Hood County Facebook page?
Yeah, I had to do a lot of surfing because there was a vote or something,
and then there was a rally, and then there was an assassination.
There's been a lot on the Hood County breaking news site.
To be clear, they were just engaging about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
There was not an assassination in Hood County, right?
No, right.
There were a lot of opinions on the Charlie Kirk assassination.
There is one story I'd like to get to in just a little bit.
But the first one, this is from Angela,
and she wants to know why is traffic several miles long coming from Benbrook going into Granbury
at 3.30 p.m. 4 question marks.
Robert has an answer.
Not really an answer, just an observation.
Text. Dot can't work on a median without shutting down lanes of traffic,
but when you go by, nobody doing squat.
Wow, that's a Matt Grimm special right there.
Everyone's just standing around.
I would have thought it's because of the lake, but it's the weekend.
They're just suffering from what every suburb is just more people have moved in
and the roads haven't changed.
Hey, I got to tell you, though, after many,
many years of you and I bitching.
That ride into and out of Fort Worth,
baby's bottom, brother.
Really?
Yeah.
The times have changed.
There's no more orange cones and big thingies, whatever you call them?
90% of that is gone.
What's the big orange thing?
Barrel?
Is it a barrel?
What'd you call it a barrel?
Not the cone, but it's the big thing.
I don't know, man.
All right.
No one's here to help.
So I'm not the A-hole.
No one else knows either.
It's a barrel?
That works for me.
It doesn't feel like a barrel.
It's a traffic barrel.
A traffic barrel?
Okay.
A barrel seems like something you could fill it with rum.
Or you'd go over like Niagara Falls.
Yeah, you could put some suspenders on it.
You can't wear that orange barrel.
Mandy says, what is going on with Brahms?
I can tell you what's going on.
It's great prices, but go ahead.
We love that place, but they were absolutely terrible tonight.
There's trash all over there, floors.
I think she meant their floors.
She put wrong kind of there.
Behind the counters, every table was dirty,
and all the employees were super unprofessional
with the exception of one kid.
I felt so bad for him.
Oh, yeah.
Well, let's highlight him.
What's his name?
Doesn't say.
Oh.
Willie says, and this is the post,
if love and brownies is wrong,
I don't want to be right.
That's awesome.
That's so pure.
Like, you see, people who are.
apply to news sites like AP or Fox News will tweet something and they'll give their opinion
replying to it and you're like, God, that's sad. But then you see this and it just makes you feel
good about life. Just want people to know, I love, I love brownies. Yeah. And I don't care who
knows. This is from Brian. This made me feel bad for him. He wants to know any costume parties
for adults going on in Granbury Halloween night. I won't have any kids and I don't think I've
ever been to a Halloween party in my adult age without having my kids with me, trying to find
out what to do. I've always wanted to dress up and have a really awesome costume, but if I can't
find anything good to do, I'm not going to spend the money. I'll just sit at home and pass out
candy. Basically, we've got a lonely dude that just wants to go to a Halloween costume party.
I feel like this was written by Tony the engineer. It's, uh, yeah. I'm serious. That may have been why
you set on. It checks. But just like, hey, I want to do this. I've never really gotten around to it.
know.
He's got an idea.
What a dream to have, yeah.
He's got an idea for a costume, but he does want to blow it.
Man, I think the thing, I think the thing that happens at that age, you either have to get really
into church, right, or really into sex, because I promise you they have, like, swinger parties
and those sorts of things where costumes, you could probably find a Halloween swinger party,
even out there in the sticks.
And there's going to be people wearing.
and weird shit, but...
Really?
I mean, I'm just saying really, that's all.
I think probably the Swinger Party,
as I also just told you, it was out there.
Like, the nude beach thing probably applies.
Like, you're not, it's not like you walk in.
It's not going to be like I think.
Holy shit, it's Rebecca Romaine Stamos.
It's going to be a lot of Rosanns.
It's going to be a guy who loves brownies
and wants you to know about it.
Other Rosans.
Yeah.
Male Roseans, female Rosans.
They're all over.
Yeah.
But at the base, this is probably a divorced guy, had kids.
But if you want to go somewhere and be the hottest person, right?
Yeah.
I could do that.
Play down the division.
It is kind of sad.
But that's how he's putting himself out there and, like, just going to Hood County Facebook
and saying, hey, does anyone want to hang out on Halloween?
Well, why didn't he come out to, come out to Conne Roso.
Oh, that's right.
Conne Roso, we're doing a Halloween party.
I should comment to that guy.
One week from today.
Moni Roso and Carrollton, if you want to join us.
So we have a couple...
Like, come on out, drive.
Take the 12-hour drive.
People that live here.
We did it for you.
I have a couple dog posts here.
This from Shannon, just saw two black dogs traveling together on the corner of Morgan and Pelluxi,
traveling towards Pelluxi.
Now, here is where you might want some information on the breed of the dog or any sort of description.
She says, I can't remember.
exactly what they look like but anyways all she said was one was bigger than the other two black
dogs yeah two black dogs traveling together because they do this in the uh the south lake neighborhood
thing too with the people yep yeah next door those little comedy i got you bud we're just going for
comedy i got you it's never actually done it's no it people welcome all types to uh roll into south lake
one more
from
that was well-time
I needed that
MJ okay
she's missing her dog
and she's really sad
but the way it reads
I got two black ones right here
is different yeah
she says
my baby boy went missing
on September 28th
and he still hasn't come home
please I'm begging you
if you have or have seen
my sweet boy let me know
so I can have my baby boy
back home
we're going on a month here
I don't know
if she's missing a dog
or her kid is held hostage
yeah how did you even
You're assuming it's a dog.
There was a picture of the ugly thing on there, but I'm begging you if you have
or have seen my sweet boy.
Right.
Yeah, like somebody, like the Russians have her.
Right, yeah, I was like, we have, yeah, we have the money.
So, you know, sometimes people will put up signs in my neighborhood.
And your wife is sick of it.
She's upset with the signs.
She didn't move there for signs, but we had another one.
Somebody had stapled us to the,
the poll the other day.
Missing bunny and a picture of the bunny.
You're not getting that bad.
No, first of all, if you have a small dog in our neighborhood,
a coyote will have eaten it already.
But that bunny?
Also, like, every single bunny I've ever seen looks exactly the same.
I was going to say, there's a picture of the bunny.
It's not like the range of dogs where you're like, okay, it's the...
Hold on, honey.
There's a bunny right there.
It's like on the cusp of the woods, you know?
Yeah.
And, you know, if you start it, it'll run into the woods.
All right, let's run a half mile down the street to look at that bunny picture to see if it's that one.
You're a tracker.
Like, I don't want to trap this bunny if it's just a wild bunny.
You start sniffing.
You're like, that's it.
It's the Miller's bunny.
No, that's not a haul and lop, you idiot.
It got breeds of bunnies?
But apparently...
And I only saw this...
That's not a Rex rabbit.
Yeah, that bunny is.
well gone my friends that's also the kind of sign you put up just so you can tell your kid you put
up yes absolutely yeah we're gonna find it honey yeah yeah i'll call up there yeah and then you go out
with the kid oh yeah that's a fake it's a fake journey and then my final one so jake you had a certain
animal get in your yard right chickens yeah we've oh rip we have a chicken graveyard well you know and you
typically handle that with your neighbor.
David did not.
He said,
and there's a picture of a couple of pigs.
If these are your damn pigs,
you better get a hand on them
because the next time they come here,
that'll be it.
Lock your pigs up,
you lazy jackass.
Yeah.
And there's a picture like his,
and it's so minor.
Like his trash can is just knocked over.
Right.
It's a minor inconvenience.
That's it.
Yeah,
they didn't stampede through his living room.
But yeah,
he took the Hood County and
wants to
pick a fight over pigs.
That should be the national nightly news every night.
Just make people feel a little bit better about...
Looking at the Hood County face-month.
Yeah, I love pie.
Just the traffic in Granbury, you're missing dogs.
I don't care who knows.
Love pie.
Thanks for stopping by Hood County.
You've ever seen the thunderstorm skydivers before?
No.
Oh, you said you've never been in a game.
Not to a game.
I'm aware of them, though.
So what is this?
They skydive into the stadium and we're like, whoa.
Yeah, but that's pretty cool
There's like a team of them
This video is not playing
But I saw one a minute ago
Because you know like
Flyovers they can't do right now
I did not know that why
Because the government doesn't work
What do you mean?
Oh
Like playing flyovers
There was supposed to be one at Texas
OU I think
And they didn't have one
There's always one at that game
Really?
But the
The Thunderstorm
The thunderstormers don't care.
They're not government chills.
They'll fly in any weather.
It does suck when flyers get canceled.
Then I'm like, well, now it's real to me.
Now the government shutdown affects you.
There's probably some people here who don't listen.
On this day in history.
Trident Garage Doors.
TXTrident.
They fix my garage door.
And they will, yours too.
Maybe, I don't know.
Maybe they'll, they won't like you.
Call them out there and see.
I want to start with viewer mail birthdays.
Any objection, Blake?
No.
What's the rest of your day like?
What are you doing these days?
Yeah, what do you do when you move out to Denver?
Freelands for the Mavericks, actually, for this last year.
Okay.
Working on a project, and I have like a fourth boss on it now because one of the guys,
of the guys that hired the guy that hired me to do this project came on the show and he's no longer
and then the next person and the next yeah so i'm down to my fourth i'm kind of just waiting to be told
what to do but it's a it's a documentary but are you kind of in the not to be like cocky but like
you can get work like you've done this long enough you can just move from shooting thing to thing
like you're not worried of like oh i'm going to be audio video man he's oh yeah yeah i mean like you know
I got hired for that, doing that doc because of my previous music doc that I did.
But, you know, it's different year.
Like, you can't just, like, walk into a TV station and say, look at all my awards, look
at what I, they don't know who you are.
So, yeah, I had to go back and forth.
I think we were talking about it earlier.
I had to go back and forth to Dallas just to get work.
Yeah, and try to stack days where I could get enough money to make it worth the trip, you know.
So it's been weird, but, yeah, this project has been great because I can do it from home
and make my own schedule and take my mountain bike out or go hiking whatever that's the best that's what
i want to do is just be able to do remote work if i edit or whatever just do it from home yeah because
you know that's a long drive as you guys know you were telling me that you had uh hiking recommendations
and then somebody who's making fun of me because they know i like to hike i heard this just level
yeah well there's options for that too or like down let's let's hike down well if you go down you
got to go back up oh yeah i but there's a few there's some easy ones that i can recommend for you
with a nice view and you can get your steps like the bunny the bunny hill whatever the skiing i want to
hike the bunny hike like what's your experience hiking um again just walking i really don't like 200
feet is that is hiking you have to go up typically you have to yes i went up some big mountain in
Hawaii on my honeymoon like how many do you any idea of like elevation change I do not no no it was

10 k steps a day like he's fine I was so heavy that my wife wanted to go on a horse ride horseback
ride I guess couples do that funny on its own what you want a horse me on a horse it looks funny
Well, there was apparently a limit, and I exceeded that.
Hey, don't moan for me.
She left and went on her own.
That sounds awesome.
An afternoon by myself in Hawaii.
Yeah.
You know, rub one out.
You're in Hawaii.
It's on your honeymoon.
I know, but I wanted to, you know, get a good one.
Get a good one.
Get the easy one out.
There's plenty of suggestions for you.
You want to do it tomorrow or today?
I don't know.
I probably don't really want to hike.
I look at a map, and there's a lot of places to walk.
I have breakfast spot, and I'd like to be at Red Rocks to eat at some place.
Like you like to plan every second of your day.
Little Bear, maybe?
I mean, there's not that many places.
There's one.
Some guy, the owner here told me.
So I'm going to drive up and do that.
So I have like six hours in between.
But I was thinking we'd just like go watch college football.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stoney's is a great place for that.
You can go out in nature if you want.
I'll be at one.
nature.
Wait, tonight?
No.
Nothing?
Tonight?
We are here.
No, no.
Biking?
I'll do whatever.
I thought you'd like rid of a mountain bike or something when you got out here.
I'll do whatever, whatever people are doing.
How about a scooter?
I will not do that.
I will not do that.
Viewer mail birthdays.
Hey, Brackett, Dan.
Day three number 1738 here.
I was hoping you could wish our son Estes a happy ninth birthday.
Nine years ago when we walked out of Baylor Grapevine,
the first voices that he heard on the terrestrial dial were you and Jake.
His third grade dragon white tackle football team is in first place,
and they play Mustang Panther Saturday.
Okay, listen to me.
That's too much.
No, that's fine.
We didn't need that info?
I like that name, too, makes it feel like it's a Colorado city, right?
Is there not an Estes Mount, like something up here?
That's his park.
Let me tell you what's bad about that.
So in youth football in South Lake, they're all going to be the dragons, right?
so you're going to have to use colors
and that's fine
take white off the table
they can't have a team
they can have blue dragons
the red dragons the orange dragons
they can't have a white dragons
no good
and then the leader is like the grand
grand coach
he says
I hope you could play this on Friday
his birthday his birthday is Saturday
this is from his dad
Pete Mata
Matta
Matta, not going to have a...
Not going to...
So, and he sent a photo of him and his wife and kid with Jake.
So apparently he had met Jake at some point.
Or he just photoshopped you in there.
Yeah.
I would love to meet Jake so much.
Blake goes to birthday parties.
I go cut listeners' wives' cords.
I just, right there in the delivery room.
Do you eat the placenta?
That's right, everybody, heart attack man.
I make a puree.
That's a new line of dips I'm pitching to Yokiro, heart attack man.
Placenta?
Go replace the skillet case away.
Grab and go placenta.
I'm glad hard attack man's here, because I got this email who says,
Dear Mile High Meat Masher
Now that you've likely joined the Mile High Beat Club,
I hope you enjoyed watching that load fly over your shoulder
in a thin air like a Brandon Aubrey Field goal.
My goodness.
Good guy.
It's not space.
You're right.
There's gravity here.
I don't know.
So he says this guy, Terry and Lubbock,
R-I-P tortillas, he says.
It's my DES, Michael Irvin, plus CD,
DES minus Michael Irvin plus CD minus Trent Sieg birthday.
I love you guys, except Blake can be a little bitch sometimes.
That's really true.
But he's still invited to my kid's birthday.
Awesome.
When?
And then he says,
if you remember for my half birthday
I don't want to go
no keep going this rules
this guy's awesome

in April
I requested a heart attack man
joke punchline or the joke
oh wow

I've got the audio from that
exchange. This is phenomenal.
Yes.
So
Heart Attack Man today

and then I will play
the April
birthday read?
Yes.
Little Johnny asks
his mother

And his mother says
well the stork
brings them.
Okay. And that
That is the joke.
Let's see.
Let's go back to April 25th.
Okay, this one is a little controversial.
Terry says Dear Uncle Meat Masher.
Tomorrow's my half birthday.
Terry?
Extremely G.
What are we doing?
Are you three?
He wants to have heart attack man give him half of a joke,
either the punchline.

That's the first one of those we've had.
Yeah.
All right, so happy birthday.
It's like filming boyhood or something.
Terry, uh, dear cantankerous,
Whoa.
C-crasher.
I want to wish my Hermano Gerardo Flores,
a bloody Kurt Schilling sock birthday.
38.
That's what he said, 38.
Also a piece of shit.
Jeez, your buddy's birthday.
His leaders are non-sober Jake,
sober Jake, and Dan's Fupa.
His only request is a joke from a heart attack man from Aaron Flores.
We kind of got one there.
Unless you wanted to throw another one at us.
That would be crazy, though.
Oh, wait a minute. You guys didn't pay for two.
It's no Bogoff.
And I have dear Uncle, dear Uncle Dan,
today is the birthday of a good ginger, long-sleeve-wearing, white landscaper,
Day 7, Dumb F, Tyler.
Is this our Tyler?
I don't know.
Didn't we have a Tyler?
Who are you talking about?
We had an intern named Tyler who pulled off for the Musers.
But he was a white landscaper.
He did some landscaping for us.
Jaw word shut, didn't he?
I thought his name was Tyler.
No.
I'm high.
Oh, Armet?
Yeah, a different guy.
Please wish him a happy birthday.
He probably didn't get welcomed him to the special way.
I don't know who his leaders are.
That would be gay.
More sororoy, less machine, never punt, always crank hog.
Respect.
All right.
Ginger landscaper.
All right.
Now we get into today in history on Friday, October 24th on this day in 1901.
Anna Edson Taylor, on her 63rd birthday, became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
You don't say.
And live.
Wow.
To tell about it.
Okay.
Now, her motives were financial.
Her husband and had died.
She was a widow.
This is old horrid.
but she died penniless and her funeral was paid for by public donations
so wait but she made it though you're just saying she died later she died 20 years later yeah
um so yeah she says here hoping to secure her later years financially she decided she would be
the first person to ride over niagara falls in the barrel she used a custom made barrel for her
trip.
Oak and iron, that's the way I think of a barrel, not orange, padded with a mattress on the
inside.
Soft.
Several delays occurred in the launching of the barrel, says here, mostly because no one wanted
to be involved in this stunt.
She was going to die.
Two days before the attempt, somebody sent a cat over the horseshoe falls in her barrel to
test its strength to see if the barrel would break and stuff.
The cat survived. It had a bleeding head, but she ended up posing with the cat in this
photograph I'm looking at here with, there's the barrel, there's her in a nice dress, and
there's the cat. So on her 63rd birthday, she got in and they put her over the falls and
she live. She did actually, just like the cat, had a small gash on her head, it says here.
She was alive, yeah. Had a small cut on her head. She briefly earned money. Speaking about her experience,
was never able to build much wealth. Anyway, her manager kind of screwed her out of most of her
savings. He was the guy that set up the book deal and stuff. And he ran away with her barrel.
No.
Why?
It was eventually located in Chicago
only to be stolen again
by her new manager, William Banks.
What is happening?
So, it's just she lived in a time
where the woman
could be easily taken advantage of
by the man.
Well, can I offer,
as a big supporter of women,
everyone here knows that,
It doesn't seem like she had much of a plan for how to monetize the barrel roll thing.
No, no, no, no, no.
There was no cash prize.
There was no endorsement.
She needed to involve a barrel manufacturer.
Yeah, something.
There needed to be an NIL management situation here.
She just did.
And everyone was telling her, like, don't do this.
It probably won't be worth it.
Did you mention a book deal?
Yeah, I mean, what happened there?
Again, short books.
She did write a book.
They apparently got no money out of it.
They might have also been not able to think about business at that time.
Maybe it says she attempted to write a book.
I don't know.
The point is.
Pennyless.
Not a penny, but we wouldn't be mentioning her today had she not done this.
Do you ever been to Niagara Falls?
I have with the Rads.
Oh, yeah.
That's a whole other segment we could or should do with Fits is just his John Rattigan journeys over.
two decades.
Radigan's a wild boy.
Traveling with the Rangers.
Really? He's wild? He's just a fun
guy. He's very clean cut,
whatever he is on TV. He's very
safe. He's a
funny, funny dude.
Ventress, for sure.
He was my
road bud.
Every now and then it would be
Emily Jones and we'd have to
do dinner or something and she would go off
she's got friends in every city basically.
But Radd was like
he was my road. He was my road.
Oh, he was my road dog.
I bet people would ever, they've never said that about me.
Like, oh, man, I took a road trip with him.
It was so fun.
No, no.
We make sure.
I mean, you do fun stuff.
Yeah.
It's just not usually with me.
Right.
And if there's oysters, they'll complain.
If there's...
Dude, it was two degrees.
You took us to the worst end.
It was the first night there.
We paid 50 bucks for six bites.
Right, six oysters.
And it was like...
You didn't pay shit.
Walking distance from, we did.
Well.
Walking distance from Spencer McKenzie's.
Yeah.
We had just got there.
We knew the greatest meal ever is right there.
Jake's like, well, what if we go here?
You skip with extreme food.
Yesterday, Dan ate at Taco Bell and Subway on the way down here.
And I was like, I'm just not, it's fine.
I'm just saying.
Well, that's sampling the local cuisine.
That's right.
What if this Taco Bell's different?
I had to find out.
That subway was kind of different.
the lady was coughing all over everything I had.
I'm not kidding.
Yeah.
And then at the end of my subway, so I get to the end, she's like, chips or drink.
No, I just want the sandwich.
She goes, do you want a bag?
I go, what?
She just wanted me to put that in a bag.
Like, she wrapped it up.
Don't they usually just, I go, I've never been asked that before.
I guess not.
So I didn't take a bag.
Like they're trying to save the bags.
Like, don't they usually just shove a bag, shove a napkin, here you go.
I don't know, because I've never gotten a sandwich without chips.
so and I'm generally and I know this isn't helping
maybe it just makes me feel better I'm like turned down the bag guy
yeah I do too
like at the gas station they'll be like you'll get an energy drink
but it's a big sandwich and they're like you want to
double ply I'm like the gross thingy they wrap it in
once you know the mustard and stuff falls out all over
you want to bottle that up and throw it in the bag then
now I didn't have anywhere to put my thing
throw that shit on the ground who cares well we were in a vehicle together
whatever
you have a friend who
you have a friend who would just like
that's a lot of adversity for you to overcome
and he kept pushing
you ever friend
you probably used to be a litterer
a litterer
like in the old days
I don't know I just had buddies before
who didn't get that message as a kid
like for me it was
that you know
Nolan Ryan will come for you
yeah so it was a big deal
but I just had friends
and you kind of strike me as
In a previous time.
I can't believe that. Yeah.
In a previous time.
I can't believe I would strike you.
Rolling down the highway and just chucking it out.
He threw an apple at me one time going 70.
I will throw out like a banana peel or an apple, yeah.
Sure.
It's actually good for the environment.
It is.
I don't think it is.
They love it.
It's only composting.
Does anybody who lives up here have chickens?
Are you let have chickens in your backyard here?
Anybody else?
You got at least the first guy here.
This feels like a big chicken.
Do you?
I don't.
We've talked about it.
We've talked about having a chicken.
I just got it.
Yeah, we don't eat chicken.
I have a big cock in my backyard.
I don't know if I'd want an egg fresh out of a chicken.
Dude, it's a different level of awesome.
Is it really?
The chickens that my dog murdered before she murdered them, they were producing at a prodigious rate.
They're different.
Where does it lay the egg?
Like if you don't have a little house, like you just leave it in your backyard?
You do have a little.
It doesn't turn into an Easter egg hunt.
Oh, look, is it a tree?
No, line for, yeah, you just have an 18 carton, and it just goes down each one.
Well, no, but it can only lay an egg in a...
What if it doesn't have a house built, and it's just a wild chick?
Like, where did chickens...
They started being wild, right?
Free range.
Yeah.
They're just laying them all over the place.
They actually, they shoot them.
that little
decathlon.
I'm actually being serious here.
How does the chicken have an egg?
And I'm making jokes to deflect from the fact that I don't have a clue.
On this day, Friday, October 24th, in 1940,
the 40-hour work week went into effect
under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
So in 1938, they're like, look,
we're going to cut you down to 40 hours.
We're going to need a couple of years.
Yeah.
Just trust us.
Eventually we will do this.
Works out great.
Ask the slaves.
On this day in 1971.
Oh, come on.
Texas Stadium officially opened in Irving.
Sixty-one, you said?
Seventy-one.
Seventy-one.
It was known for that distinctive hole in its roof.
And it says here, the hole in its roof was the result of abandoned plans to build a retractable roof.
And I've always been.
been told, yeah.
That is so contractor.
I know it's coming.
But I've always been told it was because of God wanting to see his favorite team.
Well, that's God made the plans go a different way.
Yeah, we ran out of supplies.
You're going to have a hole in your roof, but it'll be all right.
Yeah.
Remember when it was causing, like, earthquakes, tearing it down?
You know, that's not.
It was the fracking, right?
I don't know.
All right.
But it was, like, in the news every day.
Every day.
Okay, so I thought we were having an earthquake when I was in the Love's bathroom.
Or maybe it was, maybe it was the Buckees.
You're going to have to be more specific because you tried to poop in three of them.
I did.
So, that's true.
I couldn't figure out, was it because there are semis driving in and out of here?
And it makes the place feel like the floor was moving?
Or was it because I was in this RV or mini RV?
you know for 10 or 12 hours and it's like have you ever been on a boat sure and then you're
you go lay down in your bed or something and it feels like you got seaweed yeah so it felt like that
while I was uh in the love's bathroom back to you earthquake scene out here you don't get that
too much right not that I know no I mean you get more in Oklahoma and we're in Dallas I've never
even heard of one out here what's the safest place to move and we're not going to get a natural
Like, you don't want to live on the coast.
You don't want to live near a hurricane.
Dude, I've actually seen this.
You don't want to live in Oklahoma because of...
Texas is, like, where we live is not far away from being one of the safest.
Like, you think of...
You get some Naters.
But not...
No one calls it Naters.
Floods.
I would think here, though.
What about Colorado?
What's going to happen here?
A wildfire, bro.
Lots of wildfires.
Isn't this there where they have the secret hiding place for the government?
Yeah.
Like in a mountain or something?
something. There used to be NORADs here. Yeah, right, but there's
definitely a couple of, like, in Mountain Bunk, or like, there used to be.
That's awesome. Yeah, Musk close them down.
Anchorage, Alaska.
Safest place? Yeah, but then, like, if your whole
existence is a natural disaster, then, like, if it's...
There's not a bears there. New England states like Vermont and Maine.
Just basically the boring places.
places where there's more likely for you could die or more exciting all of them think about it
new orleans san francisco l a's on fire howde here's pretty great better places
oklahoma boy everyone loves it there on this day in 2002 authorities apprehended john
alan mohammed and lee boyd malvo there you go i would have got it oh sorry they were the
Washington Snipers, Washington, D.C. area snipers.
The crazy thing is, but then they renamed.
I was going to say, yeah.
Boy, that'd be a great name for a team, right?
The Washington Snipers?
Yeah, that's the logo.
That's the logo?
At this point.
Yep.
You don't really know who these guys, you hear John Allen Muhammad, and you get one thing
in your head, and then the other guy's name is Lee Boyd-Malvo, and you're like,
wait.
It's a really weird.
What a buddy cop thing there.
Yeah, it was just that the older one was raping the younger one.
And it's true.
For real?
He was like, yeah, praying on him.
I didn't know there was a sexual.
Yeah, it's like an older, yeah.
I thought they were just, I don't know what I did.
Just being bros?
Yeah, you know, it's like a 40, 45 year old guy.
Like a 17 year old is.
Hey, we want to see the countryside together.
And on this day in 2020, remember this?
When heavily protected crews in Washington State
worked to destroy the first nest of murder hornets
discovered in the U.S.
Yeah, we were stacking stories.
Would you do a murder hornet beard?
I would not.
Like you're going to do a bee beard?
I would not.
And then this is October 24th, this day in Dumb Zone history.
Remember last year our all-pro kicker had to go to jury-due?
for a few weeks.
That was now?
Yeah.
I'd forgotten about that.
Yeah, he was gone.
Like, he couldn't practice,
but then he could just kick in the games?
Yeah.
Apparently, a kicker doesn't do a lot of practice.
Yeah.
And then in 2022,
I just thought this was a funny story
because some towns actually have things to battle.
Someone in Highland Park was leaving nails on the road.
Oh, yeah.
That was a big deal
Like one person got a nail on their tire
And called the news
Nails being left
On the road
And then a didn't man
Broke into City Hall
Broke some stuff and then defecated
That's a very didn't move
I bet that's not even the first time that's happened
At their city hall
It's kind of a good bit though
again somebody defecated in the halls good i don't know uh yeah i don't think i would ever pull
that move it does feel like that's like the old you hear that in sports stories right
like that he's a guy went in and took a dump on the manager's desk or something did he bring
a role of sherman or what are we doing right the whole thing seems super unwieldy to me
i guess if you're someone who would poo on someone's desk you're really not worried probably
That's true.
Charles Haley did it, I think.
Cleaning up that much.
Yeah.
I believe Charles Haley did that do that.
Other birthdays today, don't have a year on this, but happy birthday to Nathan Chandler.
Okay.
Good dude, good friend.
Probably 83, if I had to guess.
A couple years older than me.
He was a legend, man.
He was when we first knew we had a problem, to be honest with you.
He was like the first good South Lake Quarkey.
quarterback. It's like when they were 3A, maybe, a lot of field still. I should call him,
I haven't called him for a game stream. Let's get him in. Why haven't he been on it, Blake?
Yeah. I don't know. Maybe you want to kick out Rick Runner. You think Blake gives an ounce of a shit about those game streams, buddy? He is in the press box with Burline.
I know. He's with beers on tap. He stopped caring about a lot of things with their show. The stream is not a problem for Blake.
Not a problem.
Rick Renner is cool.
Big fella.
You're bagging on, Rico?
What do you know about Rick Renner?
I love him.
You know me.
We go way back.
You got any connection?
Like you've hung out with him?
I mean, he used to work with him for 20 years.
Yeah.
Like, here's what I think about him.
Maybe this isn't true, but it feels like the guy on the air is the exact guy off the air.
Like he's a maniac.
Well, you know, honestly, we really had a love-hate relationship.
Go-go.
Until he got married.
And then he was great to work with.
Oh.
Yeah.
He was really wheels off before that.
But after that, he was a joy to work with.
He was just super stressful, like, about his job.
And, you know, he would always try to ham it up.
I remember, you remember this?
The Deli Man golf, you guys had a competition.
I don't remember what the, it was like some DFW media golf thing.
And you and Rick Renner were going against each other.
And he brought along, do you remember Deli Man from?
Popel?
Yes.
Yeah.
He was there to heckle Dan.
Because I was bagging on Deli Man back then.
Yeah.
Not the way.
And rightfully show.
The local institution.
No, but he was a...
He made everything about himself.
He really kind of...
It's Popel Deli, right?
Yeah.
But, yeah, I know the guy you're talking about.
Yeah.
I think he's no longer with us.
Okay.
You know.
Yeah.
But, yeah, back then, he was a lot, and he was yelling at Dan, and I felt bad for him.
I think we played at Tour 18.
That's right.
There's right.
No.
Really?
It's kind of surprising.
Never have.
Get a little sawgrass there, bro.
I know.
You know what tour 18 is?
It has like replicas of...
It's like the Ark Park of golf.
There's maybe one guy.
No.
Replicas of really famous holes.
When I was a kid in DFW, there was something called Arc Park,
where they had a replica of Finway, of Wrigley.
Really?
Big League's Ark.
Big League's Dreams did that.
Yeah.
softball.
Yeah, but this was before that, but yeah, it was...
That sounds great.
It was incredible, dude.
And, I mean, I only got to play there once.
So it's like the little ballpark, you know, the same size?
Yeah.
It was exactly like the Dr. Pepper ballpark.
Dude, that sounds like a dream.
It was.
It was.
When I was a kid, now, of course.
Now, of course, you're about, now you want to go to Tour 18, like a man.
That's right.
Golf.
You think you can get the green and one on a four?
Here?
Yeah.
I'm going to give it my damnedest.
Are you going to measure your...
He's got you have to see if you can top.
What's your longest drive ever?
325, I'd bet.
No.
I was playing winter golf one time and said there was a ton of rollout, but I think 379.
Whoa.
Blake is a beast.
I know.
I've seen it.
Like he has such power in softball, but if you've ever just seen him pound a golf ball, dude, it's majestic.
Got the cables now, so he's...
Oh, yeah.
I might go with you guys just to see that.
I'll just hear the story.
Jay Novichick...
You'll hear the ball from here, you know?
Jay Novichick is 63.
Ticket stock hanging on.
That's right.
We booked...
Troy Aikman.
Troy Aikman is the headliner, and when he showed up,
he had Jay Novichick with him.
And a lot of our...
Behind the scenes, the Brad...
was like, what are we doing here?
Because when you put Jay Novichick up there,
it feels like you have to talk to it.
You have to direct a couple questions to him as well.
And they did, but he was, you know.
So, Jay, what's it like hanging out with Troy Aikman?
Yeah.
All I know is the Jay Novichick's story I have
is when I was booked to do Fox 4 post game once with Ducey,
the Sunday night show.
Jay Novichick was the other guy.
He would book a local media guy, and then if he could, an ex-player.
And this weekend, it was Jay Novichick and me.
And it was a live thing, you know, Sunday night.
So I show up Sunday night at 9 or whatever time to do some prep.
And the Cowboys had played earlier that day.
And so, first of all, this is earlier, young Dan, and I'm wearing a suit.
Yeah.
Like a cuck.
I mean, first of all, going up there at 9 o'clock.
And going up there at 9 o'clock, yeah, I'll do it.
sure now it'd be like I will do
oh man something came up home
you'd do that for Ducey now something came up
I don't think he'd probably be allowed to do it for Ducey
Ducey probably wouldn't even ask yeah
yeah
anyway so Jay Novichick I'm wearing a suit he shows up
he looks like he just got off the ranch
yeah like he's wearing his whatever
and uh so Ducey starts going
okay well the Cowboys it was a tough second half
I was going to lead off with
this and then you can give your
opinion, Dan, about what you
saw in the fourth quarter and then Jay and Jay's
like, didn't watch the game.
Ducey is taking a back. He's like,
oh, I just kind of assumed
you would have.
And then he starts to pivot
because TV is a little more laid
out. This minute we're going to do
this, this minute we're going to do this, this minute, and now
Ducey's got a lot of blank on what he thought
Jay Novichick was going to be talking about. So then it was
just like what you see uh in this situation dan campbell's the tight end and uh as a tight end
what would you be thinking right you know he took the time to drive all the way down to downtown
i don't know where i'm assuming he lives probably not in the city and then to do the show
and then drive home but he didn't take the time to watch the game or run up on it or nothing
might have been a check do you think he got paid to be there just because you didn't doesn't mean
he didn't i've been in that spot before like why you guys
give him $500 to Yogi Farrell.
I was here, too.
Yogi Farrell.
Nice, Paul.
Who needs it more?
Frankly, yeah.
It's like when Justin Anderson took the TV after he beat T.C. and Madden.
I was convinced.
Like, oh, shit.
He actually took it.
Whoever wins this, he's going to give it to T.C.
Right.
He's like, nope.
Loaded up in my escalade.
Damn.
Yeah, it was tough.
Star Power donated this TV.
And we set up T.C.
versus Justin Anderson.
And the second he won, he was like, my car's back there.
What did they do, Madden on the big screen at the AAC?
Yeah.
Or outside?
Yeah.
That's a cool bit.
It was fun.
Amon Ra.
Do you know which Amman Ra?
I'm about to say?
St. Brown Eye.
St. Brown Eye is 26.
How come his dad's name is not, his dad's name's not John St. Brown?
Is it?
Isn't it just John Brown?
Like the slave freer?
Yes.
He said that he wanted him to.
to have a memorable, cultured last name.
I mean, that's sick as hell,
but I feel like Amon Ra is already getting that done on the front end.
Amon Ra Brown?
Yeah.
I don't know.
St. Brown's a little.
It does sound cool.
It does sound cool.
Jalen Ramsey is 31.
It says here, Kemp'sman.
I will now have a bean dip and let you take it away, Jake.
I mean, people used to think he was gay, right?
He used to, earlier in his career when he would talk.
really zesty and z-snap-y, but I don't know that there's anything like bad, bad.
This says here he left Golden Tate.
Oh, wait.
I know what this is.
Somebody had sex with somebody's sister.
I want to say it was Jalen Ramsey hooked up with Golden Tate's sister.
This says he left Golden Tate's pregnant sister for a Vegas dancer.
There you go.
Yeah, he knocked up Golden Tate's sister.
That's what it was.
Didn't Golden Tate have something to do with Russell Wilson?
There's some love primal going on there.
Yeah.
That just seems like an odd place to adorn with gold.
Yes.
Nobody can see it.
Right.
You got to keep it clean.
Eric Hosmer is 36.
Wayne Rooney is 40.
I'm told that's a soccer man.
Yeah, I think, has anybody watched the Brady soccer show?
Brady owns a soccer team now.
And I think Wayne Rooney is the coach.
and he's like a legend
but he doesn't try real hard
and Brady like hates him
it's Brady
so I thought there's a chance
you may be interested in it
I'm not saying I'm not interested
but
I don't think I'm interested
yeah actually I think I just thought about it
It's soccer Greg
musician Bill Wyman is 89
Wow
All right
All right
All right
Yes he is
apparently he was in the Rolling Stones.
Jimmy the St. Christopher once had him booked for an interview,
and Jimmy could be Patrick Walker-like with his questions
and just like real long question,
which would really elicit not much of a response.
To prove it, here was the dismount in the Jimmy Christopher Bill Wyman interview
from like 40 years ago.
Yeah, that's what I read where Mick said once that, you know,
like Frank Sinatra, the bigger singers are still, you know, performing and acting and going on now.
I mean, they're, you know, into their 60s and 70s, the mix is, you know, why can't we do that?
I mean, we're, you know, upper 30s, and we still have a long time before we're going to quit and lay down,
which is good news for us and all Stone's fans, too.
Anyway, Bill Wyman, you take care and say hi to the rest of the guys,
and good luck with all your projects, and we'll be, you know, looking for your solo album
when it comes to this country in February, March.
All right.
And that was all he got?
I feel like you'd also know Bill Wyman's not a talker,
like heading into that interview.
We all look up beforehand.
Is this person a talker?
Sometimes you're like, Kevin Farley's a definite, yes.
And you're wrong.
He's like he's Kevin Farley, dude.
He's going to crush.
Whoa.
Drake is 39.
Jake.
It says here he had Walt and Jesse bartend his birthday party.
That probably is true.
Checks out.
I think I would do that if I had the money, right?
I'm going to hire Walt and Jesse to...
Yeah, and he probably owns part of their company or something.
Yeah.
Because they have like a mess cow.
Yeah, they have a tequila company, a tequila brand.
He is, you know, he's had a hard, he's had a rough year.
I don't know that there's been anybody
who was that beloved and famous
just get
because usually what happens
if you lose a rap beef that bad
you just get killed
so he's just kind of got to walk through it
tough look
Blake
Speaking of tequila
Tila tequila 44
She went as a Nazi
to Halloween once
A lot of NFL connections too
She used to get pounded
by Sean Merriman
also strangled allegedly
maybe took it too far
also what is that
header there that you're reading from
because in Wikipedia you never want what is it
a controversy's tab
controversies
what does you say what is he also is a tough one
hers just says sexuality
yeah
well there's been a lot of debate
well she was also engaged
to Casey Johnson, the daughter of Woody Johnson.
The Jets owner?
Yes.
What?
That's what it says here.
God.
The look on Woody Johnson's face when Tila Tequila entered the suite.
That's awesome.
That's a real Kindle Roy move.
She's wearing the Nazi get up.
You guys remember Sean Merriman?
Lights out.
It's an unstoppable Madden player, blitz.
Like, Putie Pye, 35.
Now, that's Blake's Drake.
Scott Peterson is 52.
Is he still living?
I guess they don't put him away, wherever he is.
He murdered his pregnant wife, Lacey, which we do not condone, but we get it.
Oh.
We get it.
They do get very difficult.
And our birthday, a dumb zone birthday of the day, it's actually a birthday so big, it becomes today's birthday of the day, but his birthday is tomorrow.
And if you want to know who's going to bartend my party when I have Drake money, you're going to be looking over there at Anthony Starr.
Today he's 50.
We all know, right, Anthony Starr?
It's Anthony Starr.
Homelander.
Come on, everybody.
But don't, don't, I don't want to see heads hanging.
Whole ball.
I want to see it.
I like to see it in person.
No, these, energy.
Look at that.
See this guy?
The whole day may be over now.
This guy's the cool guy.
We were just building.
This guy's putting his thumb down.
He really hates home.
Is that the one that turns green when he's bad?
No, no.
I don't need this from you.
Did you see the episode where Batman couldn't have a bowel movement?
Yeah.
Green Lantern was trying to figure out how to,
a bundle and save, but they told them if he canceled his phone line, it'd actually be more
expensive.
There's a lot of problems that superheroes have that you don't understand that we, they're
one of, they're like us.
I know.
Like, I got more business expenses for my taxes.
Born on the stay now dead.
On Flash.
Sarah Hale.
She wrote, Mary had a little lamb.
Spare.
So incredibly spare.
Dead on this day, still dead.
What are, so Mary had a lamb, a lamb.
Yeah, we think of us about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're good.
Kind of the whole story.
What if it's little?
Now, there are some white people who have died on this day.
I have Gene Roddenberry.
What do he invent?
Clingons.
I don't know.
Star Trek, bro.
Okay.
I don't know.
I feel like there's a world where Fitz knows that.
Star Trek?
No.
Star Wars guy?
Not at all.
Ish.
Are you anti-Star Trek?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Who says live long and prosper?
Spock.
Asap, first.
But that's a layup.
Okay, I didn't know.
Always strive and prosper.
I just don't like the...
You know, to me, without knowing,
Star Trek was always just kind of the Doctor Thunder...
It was very knockoff.
I don't even...
know it's probably better i just never gave it the time of day because i'd already decided
star wars was lame or it's the british office there you go doctor who was like mr pib
like i said the uh there are some white people bobby v now he's a guy we don't really know who he is
but we have to do a special reports on bobby v he is like a singer from the 50s who every
song was about like if she were only 30
Yeah, and it's because she's 12, and he's like, I have to wait till 13.
Right.
It's incredible.
It's insane.
Our grandparents were.
But if you're a black celebrity, watch yourself today.
Because what a day of Dead on the Stay still dead.
We have Rosa Parks.
Wow, 2005.
Rosa Parks.
Fats Domino.
Richard Roundtree.
Jeff.
And Jackie Robinson.
Wow.
No.
You're thinking of Jackie the Joker.
Although we don't know what Jackie Robinson sounded like.
He may indeed have laughed, just like Jackie the joke man.
And that's what happened on this day.
Like in the 70s, everybody was just like super onto the innuendo of like shaft being like a dick, a dick thing.
Boy, I don't know
In fact, I never thought of that
Until right this second
For real
I don't know
Because you know
I guess some people are more
obsessed with penises
Yeah
You don't think it's odd
I don't know
I've never thought of it before
But now that you say it
Black hero right
It's the 70s
You're leaning in that stuff
And like my so my brother's dog
We got a Black Lab
The one that has been featured
In many stories on this show
It was named Shaft
And it never got
Whatever,
neutered circumcise. It never got neutered.
Is this the dog that...
And it always was just, you know...
His football buddies pleasured?
Is that the same dog?
They...
It's the same dog.
Milted it.
And that's because that dog's weiner was out all the time.
And its name was shaft and it just felt...
I don't know.
I mean, if it's going to be out, working...
It's not our fault.
Look at it. It's just sitting there.
It's really gross.
All right, boys.
Have a good weekend.
Oh, okay. I'll see.
and your other shift.
Bye.
Any closing remarks, Fitz?
I had to have a thought
that took me back
to when Bobby Petrina
was named interim head coach
that's still maybe my favorite
one of my favorite ticket moments
of all time
was the support your coach
and I don't know where
that audio exists
and I don't even know
how you find it.
Support your coat.
Do you have it somewhere?
Oh, we absolutely have.
You got it?
Okay, I haven't heard this
since the day on the ticket,
but it's...
I mean, this may be long,
so I don't know.
If you can do the whole thing.
Oh, this is just the drop.
We may have to find it from Monday.
But, yeah, it was people rallying out.
He's up there in the neck brace.
His face is all messed up.
Did you see, like, Aggie tweeted that out?
A picture of him in the neck brace after they beat him?
Yeah, it's everywhere.
Yeah.
The neck brace is easy to find.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's try.
The audio, though, yes, it's a very long.
Everybody does things they wish they hadn't done.
We need to forgive him. He apologized. It's time to move on. We need to accept his apology and help move forward and let him live.
He's a razor back and we want him to stay.
Okay, here's what they called. They called the hogs out of the way.
Why would, just imagine.
Just imagine like being at a wrong.
being at a rally to support a guy who just wrecked a motorcycle with his mistress on the back.
You're like, we need to call the hogs.
We should do the pig thing.
We should chant.
Then like less than 100 people show up to this thing.
It's not well attended.
To support the head football coach at an SEC school.
You know, it was well attended to dive in today, Dan.
I'm actually blown away by the response.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, dive in.
Let's hang out.
Thank you, folks, for coming out.
Tonight we can watch episode one together of the boys.
Get you guys all on board.
Come on by the church.
Adios, mofo.
We got to go before this becomes a zoo.
Thank you for watching my video.
Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video.
Oh, we got a story.
It will make for a great movie surely.
NBA players arrested by the FBI
for their scheming and corrupt little eyes.
We're in cheating devices over their eyes.
So, rigging poker games for mafia wise guys.
Or faking injuries for an over under Polly Prize.
So while this commercial of prize picks is advertised.
Tell me why hypocrisy lies.
Oh, we got a scandal for the ages
with years of surveillance
and endless pages of documentation.
So be careful with those bets you're placing.
Big shot Chauncey, the star of Molly's game.
The old piston champion from the Hall of Fame.
At the forefront of celebrity face card was named.
As he smiles at the camera with no shame
These poor bastards lost everything they ever gained
But who better to employ than a pro athlete who's so well trained
Or having a poker table that is vision of x-rays
With face-down cars marked in bloodstains
The elaboration is truly insane
Oh, we got a scandal for the ages
With years of surveillance and endless pain
of documentation, so be careful with those bets you're placing.
And then there is Terry Rozier, who's been cheating for many years.
Videos on ex are purposely turning the ball over, tip, bed, flop, lose, cash out and start over,
but surely nobody else was ever involved, Epstein files still at large,
But glad Kasper-Tel got this case solved.
We were all so concerned with the effects on our lives.
So what is the NBA all one big ball of lies?
Oh, we got a scandal for the ages with years of surveillance
and endless pages of documentation.
So be careful with those bets you're placing.
