We had a big meeting, and we're all like, all right, what do we do? This and that. What do we plan for this? And Dan's like, oh, I just have one more thing.

Starting point is 00:03:04 I'm Jacob. I'm Blake Jones also sitting over here for some odd reason a graphic all right he wants to party with you? He's kicking ass. All right. All right. Hey, Danny.
Starting point is 00:03:32 What's up? Thank you, Jason. Who did that? Jason. From? Jason. Not Jason from the internet. Jason, the hockey dad, does lots of our little video things.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Uh-huh. I've played hockey with his daughter, and that is not a euphemism at all. Played a little tonsil hockey? No, she was on Team Bad Radio. She was on our team, and we lost. So I'm going to blame her for losing. We played Tyler Sagan in a game of three-on-one hockey. Full court, whatever you call that.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Rink. Ice. Full ice, full thing. He had no goalie. We had a 13-year-old girl goalie. This is back when Dan thought anything to make fun of women was funny. He's since grown. Has he?
Starting point is 00:04:30 So, yeah, we didn't score a goal. It was one guy. Did we not get one? I don't think we did. I mean, I remember being having a natty-hatty. This will be easy because we'll just be able to pass it way over there, and then you could pass it way over there. But Tyler Sagan, he's a pro or something.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It's crazy. Yeah, so he would just zip over and I'd fall down. I don't know. It was a lot of fun. Not so fun. The cowboy game. Yeah, so it was a good time yesterday. Appreciate
Starting point is 00:05:07 people being involved. Preesh, all the help. Preesh. I didn't really, so I did go back and watch a little. I skipped through it a little bit, like last night, after the show, or after the game. You gotta watch the tape.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Because I kind of wanted to know. I was down there grabbing some food during halftime. Right, for the Blake show. And then I looked over and you were there too. And I was like, whoa. Should somebody be? And then I look over and Rob's down there. It's like every video man.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Everybody was down there just talking, eating. And Nathan Chandler was there. Julie down there. It's like every video man. Everybody was down there just talking, eating, and Nathan Chandler was there. Julie was there. That's every game. Everyone leaves during halftime. Wait. I was up here with you the whole time the time before. Is anyone up here?
Starting point is 00:05:56 So I went back and watched. It's the Blake show at halftime. Like Jameson was there. I was like, I thought you were going to play music at halftime or something. He also put on your headset, by the way. Uh- Like, Jameson was there. I was like, I thought you were going to play music at halftime or something. He also put on your headset, by the way. Uh-oh. Jameson?
Starting point is 00:06:09 I forgot about that. Why? He's got a mic. I wasn't going to say anything until... Why did you? Why would he do that? I wasn't going to...
Starting point is 00:06:17 I was going to do exactly what I did. No more Jameson. I wasn't going to tell him, hey, that's weird when it was happening and then I was going to tell Dan now. Yeah. Now he's going to tell him, hey, that's weird, when it was happening, and then I was going to tell Dan now.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah. Now he's going to be weird the rest of the show. I'm going to be weird all show anyway. How are you feeling? I was out of my, who, me? Yeah. Like, I don't know. I feel a little rough.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Seedy? A little, you know, it was a late night for me. Going to bed like at midnight. Yeah, we talked at like midnight. You and I. You got Blake Halftime show to show us? No, we don't. Oh, he is playing there.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah, we were just talking about the D-Wade statue. Why would he need my headset if he has his own microphone? I don't know. Can you, like, confirm what these things look like ahead of time? Oh, here's Blake going off on the D-Wade statue. I need someone to ask me about Halo Roster Mania so I can go off about that. I'd love to talk about Halo Roster Mania.
Starting point is 00:07:19 So we could go off. Look at that wonderful product placement, too. Sure. Well done. It's just a Fitbit. Does that count? Are you just reading viewer mail? That's what Micah did.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Hi, Adrian. That's what streamers tend to do. So, yeah, sure. Why not? So you're just reacting to the chat in real time. Yeah. If somebody gives me a jumping off point, I'll do another read. Do you feel like you've had one of those yet?
Starting point is 00:07:44 No. Do you feel uncomfortable right now? I just had to do the spot. I knew it didn't sound good. Your high school football spot? I'm uncomfortable there and here. It's funny watching this happen. I agree.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I landed musculoskeletal care. I think this is perfect. I think the Super Bowl should call Blake. musculoskeletal care. Yep. I think this is perfect. I'm crying. I think the Super Bowl should call, Blake. This is our halftime. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It is until anyone else comes up with an idea. Who's going to make the phone call to Beyonce? Right. Now we're getting into Kendall Bryles. I guess all the heavy lifting I do during the game, I'm thinking I need a break. This halftime show knows no bounds. I'll stay up here with you if you want me to.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I have to go down there so no one sees me eat. The offense is kind of not good right now, but I can't tell how much that is. Okay, I can't do it anymore. Okay, yeah. Well, go to our YouTube page if you'd like to see Blake. Killing it? Yeah, destroying it at halftime.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I'll leave at halftime next time. I'm leaving at halftime next time. I'll leave at halftime next time. I'll throw my headset down and act like I've done enough for the show at halftime like all the rest of you. We're promoting you. I saw pictures of the pizza, so I understand the seduction there. It was legit. It was legit then, and it was legit when I ate it in the car today. Really good.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah, thanks to Booyah at Good Side Pizza. Damn. I would love to have some today. I know. I'm sorry. What happened? There was like a ton left. Blake took a pizza home, but he left one here saying, I'll just eat this tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:09:16 You didn't. And so I woke up, and I see a pizza box in my garbage, and I called my wife. I'm like- Hold on. My wife took the pizza oh okay i thought she just threw it away in which case i was gonna say i'll go ferret that out of there for you right now no she just threw the box of course and then here's what she does put you know the garbage can it doesn't fit so that it's just kind of sitting there kid how to use the square round hole thing i will be the one who will come clean that up.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I'll put it in the recycle bin. I'll do whatever. I'll break it down. My wife will put like – She just like will lay it on top of the bin. She's like, hey, this – So I can't put any other garbage. This recycling needs to go out.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Now look at it. It's just four 12-pack boxes. You know, these like lay down. You could just like pop this deal and you kind of flatten them out. But not everyone cares about the environment like we do, Dan. That's our curse, man. We're just too good. Had pizza, had guacamole.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Lone Star. It was good times. Good times. So let's do a weekend check. Today's weekend check will be brought to us by Elite Rides DFW. Did you get one of those from your house, which is one minute away from me? Yeah, I got the Sprinter van. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:55 And you've provided her with a safe passage home. So she might imbibe a little bit. You know what I'm saying? And then you're at home. And hopefully she... Then you get a little... Or she just passes out when she walks in the door and you don't have to deal with anything.

Starting point is 00:12:35 Weekend check. Anything interesting, Danny, from your point of view? No. Full-on kid weekend. And worked on some stuff for the show, and that's about it. We did go to the park where they're rebuilding the baseball field. I have a park a block from my house, Jake, and they're redoing the baseball field, so they dumped huge piles of dirt so they can re-sod everything and redo the infield. So he loves playing in dirt.
Starting point is 00:13:07 That's awesome. Yeah. That's the best thing. It's free. You don't have to buy a bunch of stuff for your kid. No. Yeah. You'd rather just have a stick and some dirt, maybe a poop to poke that stick into, whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah. That's generational. Yeah. That never goes away, poking poop with a stick. Yeah. Occasionally, we'll drop by the house that's getting worked on, and there's just a huge mound of dirt outside, and it's the most difficult thing to get my kid away from. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Like once he starts going. A pile of dirt. Yeah. What's better? Such fun. Do you have a mic over there, Video Man, or no? I do not. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I always like to hear what Video Man did on the weekend. Probably a lot of craft beer and sex. He's a man of mystery. Yeah, he's got... Remember when we read that email about him probably having a big hog? And he's never denied it. Jumps out of airplanes at the X Games. I think he goes to concerts and stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I know. He probably jumped out of an airplane into a concert. And landed on his hog. This weekend. Bounced up. He did send me and Blake a picture over the weekend of him at a concert, so I know he was out.
Starting point is 00:14:19 He's always doing something. When we go on a road trip, he's right away. We get to our Airbnb or whatever it is, and I'm ready to go to sleep. It's 7 p.m., and he's like,
Starting point is 00:14:33 all right, where are we going? He doesn't even care that we're not going out. He'll be like, all right. He probably prefers it. He's like, I'll go by myself. He's meeting friends. He's up early. Machine. He's up early. Machine.
Starting point is 00:14:47 He's a machine. Blake? Let's see. Argyle still undefeated in district play. Took down the Burleson Elks on Friday night. Did you say hey to Phil? Yeah, I was going to tell you that Burleson is coached by Philip Tanner, former Cowboys running back.
Starting point is 00:15:05 So that was cool to get to interview a former Cowboy. He was the type of guy, Dan, that I promise you, I promise you, at one point back in 2011, 2012, you were saying on your show, why don't they feature this guy a little more? He seems like he's got something. The backup is always that guy, right? Yeah, he's balling out in preseason. Last year it was Rico
Starting point is 00:15:27 Daldol. Yeah, I don't know. A little spark there. Backup running back and you're like okay, I see a little something here. Do we need Pollard? At that price? So yeah, he came over. Remember John Kitna got into coaching here. He started at Burleson. I guess he through through some way, got Philip Tanner over there
Starting point is 00:15:47 and back into high school coaching. I don't know. You know, it's all who you know, they say. Yeah. Interviewing high school coaches can be hit or miss, and it was kind of nice to have someone that kind of got it. So that was cool, talking to him. Well, let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:16:03 If you can find it, you can play it. So that was cool, talking to him. Well, let's take a listen. If you can find it, you can play it. And then on the way home, I got invited to the TCU Tech game. And I thought about going, but like Danny, I had kid on the weekend. And the cheapest ticket I could find was $70 to go. Well, that doesn't sound like you were invited then.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Well, they had one ticket. And so I would have had to buy an extra. Oh, buy a $70 ticket for your kid? Yeah. Yeah, that's a waste. Which is not going to happen. At that age, yeah, it's tough. So while searching how much the ticket was, I scrolled up to see, oh, yeah, North Texas is playing at home.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Roll wave, brother. Would a babysitter be more than $70? Yeah, well, for that amount of time, it's probably about that. Would your wife be mad if you had the kid for the weekend and then got a babysitter all day Saturday? No, I don't think so. But then I saw tickets for North Texas were $12, and I thought, okay, I'll take Brooks to that one.
Starting point is 00:17:02 They're pretty good, though, right? Yeah. Until you run into the wave. Well, yeah, you can't slow down too long. I think they ran for over 300 yards. I think you're right. And so it was 11 a.m., so I thought, yeah, we can get up, eat some breakfast, go. He can nap in the car.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I just thought timeline, it worked out way better than the TCU game anyway. And then as he's sitting there in the stands, I realize football games are kind of made for kids. Look, you got a section of people playing musical instruments over there. You got a guy in an Eagle costume here. You can look at check and then, you know, players run and then they crash into each other on the field. And then just kind of randomly they'll play fireworks and everyone starts clapping. Yeah, and when he gets horny, they got cheerleaders. He loved looking at the cheerleaders.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Yep. Looking them flipping. But he's a gymnastics guy. Yeah. So. Well, not anymore. We took him out. That's like them getting me to change my Facebook status from like in a relationship.
Starting point is 00:18:02 When they first started trashing me we're like oh boy your kid seems gay and he's like you're out of the you're out of gymnastics son we shamed the first time somebody said he's gonna be a yell leader that was it yeah so yeah that was that's cool boy that was a couple hours of really easy entertainment that's great i'd like got him some popcorn just sit there and he had enough to look at and it was actually a really good experience. I think next fall is my foray because they're about a year apart, Carter and Brooks. So I think next fall.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I'm going to try to do basketball with Nora this year. So you wouldn't even think of taking your daughter to a football game? I don't think she would be into it. What about the ref? She does like it. She can look at the female ref. Does she feel empowered? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Someday. I could be a back ref? She does like – She can look at the female ref. Does she feel empowered? Yeah. Someday. I could be a back judge. She does like watching basketball. Yeah, I used to go with – Because it just moves more. You know, with football, she's like – She actually has said nothing's happening. But like you –
Starting point is 00:18:56 Right. So good luck with baseball. A Mavs game as far as a kid is sensory overload. Yeah. But, yeah, you know what else is good? Minor league. Yeah. Brooks will do that.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Because I used to go with Eden to the Fort Worth hockey, or the one over there in Hearst or wherever. Yeah, yeah. The Brahma's. At Nitex, the Brahma's. Yeah, no, we went, dude, I've told you before. You want to know the Divorce Dad playbook? Right on the glass.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I went to so many Fort Worth Fire and Dallas Freeze games. Yeah. Fights breaking out nonstop. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was great. I cherish those times. Yeah, I think – I legit think I'm going to go to the Grapevine game this Friday night and take note of that just to see because she goes to cheer camp.
Starting point is 00:19:45 They're playing Argyle. Yeah, that's a cool stadium over there. It is. I threw up on that field once. What happened? Among many others. I just used to throw up in games a lot. Like a lot a lot. Were you drunk? No, I was playing.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Were you nervous? No, I just had a real bad stomach. You guys know that. I used to puke before every practice. That seems really weird. Because practice was only about an hour and 20 minutes after lunch. And I just couldn't do it. Like a forced bulimia. We'd go through one-on-ones so I could get warmed up,
Starting point is 00:20:25 and then I would just go up. Super good for you. Yeah, probably. But yeah, Brooks loved the band. That was pretty cool. People moving into shapes. It was pretty fun for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:38 And he made it, what, to the third quarter? Yeah, we left a little bit into the third quarter. Nice. He taught him how to leave a game early? Let me imagine trying to get my kid to sit down for a football game. Well, he had a big old thing of popcorn enough to look at. Okay. It was great.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And then birthday party. Really good place for a birthday party. Gymnastics. Just let the kids on the trampolines and run around and whatever. That's a solid one. Yeah, so pretty solid weekend. Away from screens for Brooks. and whatever. That's a solid one. Yeah, so pretty solid weekend away from screens for Brooks. So I think that's a good one. He's all high and mighty on, oh, my son doesn't do screens.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I'll take that voice over the other one. Good call. Do you want it next or me? Who wants to end? Sounds like you got something big. No, I don't really. It's fine. Okay, go for it then.
Starting point is 00:21:29 But I'm just asking if you want... Because Friday, I made one of the biggest mistakes in my illustrious broadcast career. I think that's how most people would describe my broadcast career. I read that in the trades. I missed the birthday of Antony Starr, 49 years old. Of course, not the leader of the boys. The boys are trying to get him.
Starting point is 00:21:55 He's Homelander, so happy birthday to Homelander. Great dude. Great character, I should say. Not really a good dude. Is he the one that has kind of like political overtones and adds a commentary on whether or not patriotism is actually a moral or not? No, I think he's the one with the really long penis. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:13 So I talked to... And then I already told you on the stream. I guess you could go back if you really wanted the story, but I fell in love with a Kroger checkout lady. Yeah. if you really wanted the story, but I fell in love with a Kroger checkout lady. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:27 She doesn't know it yet, but she's also feeling it for me. Really? She'll know. There's a checkout lady at Kroger that has drawn your attention? Dude, I didn't know about this. Just saying, I went for the stock up, water, Kleenex, rice.
Starting point is 00:22:41 One banana. And one banana, because it was after I went to the gym. I want to know what it is about this woman because I have something that's similar, maybe. She's just a lady who was there. I fall in love quite often. What a high bar. It wasn't the lady at the Avis counter this time.
Starting point is 00:23:08 There is something special, though, about, you know, you could see on your social media feed or whatever, a constant stream of just tens, right? Yep. And then you're somewhere where you don't expect to see a hot woman working. It matters more, like the SEC. There is something magical about that. She might be Kroger checkout hot. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It doesn't matter. Right. Yeah. The bank. She did feel like a 10. Yeah. And, yeah, if you got her out in society, don't know. That's why when I described the mythical beast to you that is the central market female butcher hot,
Starting point is 00:23:40 I became low-key, legally obsessed with her. That was a Bigfoot type thing. Yeah, for sure. I was just hearing about it from many people. There was a lady... You got to be here at the right time. There was a lady who worked at the bank that I used to go to almost every day for my mom's business 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And I think about her all the time. And she was not that attractive but son of a bitch man she carried the Wells Fargo brand I called my mom on Saturday because that's what I do good son how was the weather uh weather's a lot chillier um it looked like I brought the warm weather to Cleveland ha ha ha and then it left when I left. Ha, ha, ha. That was kind of the conversation. But she told me this story, which was somewhat amusing to me. You know her old friend Rose.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Oh, I do. Not only her old friend. They've been friends for whatever, many, many decades. She is in her 80s. And as my mom will tell me, she just shouldn't be driving at all. So, like, my mom, who's no champion behind the wheel or anything, will pick up Rose to go to movies because she just doesn't feel safe with Rose.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Like, Rose has no idea what's going on. As far as driving. Or Rose has no idea what's going on. Right. Right in the car, Rose. But Rose apparently... We're going to the picture show. So my mom said Rose...
Starting point is 00:25:12 Is that a Graney's reference? ...will often... One of the reasons she's worried about Rose is that she will get lost and then call my mom. And my mom has Rose on Find My Phone. So my mom, who is the least technologically adept person
Starting point is 00:25:29 that you will ever meet, unless you've also met Rose, apparently, she will look at her phone and see that she's in a neighborhood a mile away from her house, and she will talk her... she's like the on star. She will be like, okay, turn right. Okay, yeah, Columbia Road's up.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Okay, there you go. Turn right. Okay, now you know where you are, kind of. That's so good. She is Rose's GPS. But the main thing that happened, I hope I'm not doing too much weekend check here. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:26:06 The main thing was right when I left work, um, work on Friday when we got done with the show and everything. Uh, we did the show here, didn't we, Blake? Yeah. Cause I told Blake what I was going to do. I went to vote. Okay. I went to vote.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Okay. Voter suppression, by the way, might be more intact in Ohio because my mom lives in Cuyahoga County. You've heard of the Cuyahoga River catching on fire? I think I've always said Cuyahoga. It might be Cuyahoga. I don't know. Well, I'm looking to you. I'm saying Cuyahoga County.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And she was like, oh, I don't even know if we have early voting. Can you do that? Because I told her I voted yesterday. And I searched on my phone for her one voting location, and it's like downtown Cleveland. And she's like, I can't drive. You know, she can't do that. She's too old to drive downtown. Like in the whole county or the whole?
Starting point is 00:27:03 In the whole county. Jeez. And it's one of the biggest counties in Ohio county or the whole? In the whole county. Jeez. And it's one of the biggest counties in Ohio, one of the two or three biggest. Whereas here in Tarrant County, at least, there's 40 locations. I don't know. You search it, there's going to be one in your town.
Starting point is 00:27:21 So I went to Southlake Town Square, early voted. They were like a 20-minute wait, which wasn't bad, I guess, compared to like election day. Yeah. My wife did it later than I did, and she said she was in and out in five. Ten for me, easy. So I didn't know this. I don't recall this ever happening before but once i got in the
Starting point is 00:27:46 voting room you know and when they talk about like we should uh demand an id for vote yeah they check your id i don't know i don't understand all that i don't understand anything in politic yelling uh but yeah they check your id they they scan it. They make sure you're registered. Yeah, yeah, and all that and all that kind of stuff. Then all of a sudden, I hear this old, all the people manning, I guess they're volunteering their time, but they're all olds. But I hear an old guy down the line yell, first-time voter here. And then everybody applauds.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Hey! Did you know this happens? No. Like they all cheer as if you're at the ice cream shop and there's a tip given. Oh, okay. Ding, ding or something. Or yeah, I don't know. And this happened three times while I was in there. Happy first time voting.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah. Happy first time voting. Happy first time voting. Yeah. Happy first time vote. Happy first time voting. You get to sit on the bull, the mechanical bull thing. They bring over a ballot with a candle in it that's just lit. It's sparkly. Sparkler, yeah. But they did this three times.
Starting point is 00:28:57 They would yell first time voter. I don't know how they would know that. That's really weird. Do they know? Do you say it? The age on their ID that shows this is the first time they're eligible to vote. I mean, obviously your voting record is public. When you voted, not how you voted.
Starting point is 00:29:12 But I didn't know that that would come up right whenever they scanned you. Were they youngs? I couldn't see who they were. They might have been just recently 18. Just kind of a big room. Nobody did that for me when I cast my ballot for John Swift Boat Carey. and nobody did that for me when I cast my ballot for John Swift boat carry I think they did that at the Apple store when my daughter and I went in and she bought an iPad once oh my god that is so cult of like like they did some kind of a cheering because she was buying the I I don't know because
Starting point is 00:29:40 they know now they have you I don't know, like she'll never buy anything. God, that's so creepy. Yeah. Ugh. That's my weekend. No conflict or anything like that? I got a story in the news about a polling place sitch. A conflict? No, I thought it was interesting that you used to be able to just click a one box and you would vote all Republican or all Democrat. But now you can't.
Starting point is 00:30:10 You have to vote for each thing. And it was kind of funny because there was like 39 or 40 things to vote for. You know, presidents first. Then you got your Ted Cruz versus Colin Allred. And then after that, I didn't know about any of them. Didn't know who any of the people were or any of the issues. But about 10 of them, whatever they were, judge or something, they were Republicans running unopposed.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah, there were a bunch of Democrats running unopposed on the Dallas ballot. A tale of two counties. Oh, really? A tale of two counties here. Is that what's going on? Dallas is blue. Okay. But yeah, you will see a lot of unopposed on both sides.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Like they just are like, why? Yeah. Why spend the money? And then what typically happens, in my experience, is when someone runs unopposed and they win, they then start posting on social media about how they had the biggest
Starting point is 00:31:12 margin of victory in their history. That's what Eric Johnson did, yeah. Speaking of why spend the money, too. What a tool. Speaking of why spend the money, I think I saw something this weekend about how much the presidential candidates are spending. Couldn't... When we complain complain about whatever, taxing or money that's not going to homeless or whatever, couldn't a good portion of that go to help, I don't know, the economy or paying off loans or just something that...
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yeah, our campaign finance situation. And other countries have weird versions where they do it too like there's one where it's almost like going to the fair where you get i'm trying to remember how they do this but basically you get like voting credits and you could give them to certain candidates and that works not only i think for funding but also for how many votes that person gets. I think it works that way in a parliamentarian system too. So you've got 10. You're like, I'm going to give it all to this guy,
Starting point is 00:32:14 or I'm going to give it two fives out. The way we do it is definitely different. And then let me say this. All the way down to the fact that it's not a holiday. That was my next thing. I was talking about that with my wife later, like just thinking of how much of a beating it is to vote, and she had to get off work and hustle over there.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Like, shouldn't it be a national holiday? If voting is such a big deal and, like, everybody should do it and they're going to yell at you and everything. Like, what if everything was, you know, most people had the day off and you could just do it? Because they don't actually want you to vote. Who doesn't? I've always thought that was kind of more one party than the other. Yeah, but I mean, to get it changed,
Starting point is 00:32:59 you would have to be forced, you know, you'd have to have some pretty serious majority to get a law like that changed. To create a national holiday? Because, I mean, they've created Martin Luther King Day. They've created, you know, in my lifetime, I guess. Those don't really matter. But if they were able to wave a wand and increase the electorate by—
Starting point is 00:33:18 Like, they had National Tight End Day. And they can't have— And what a day it was, you know? Which we were reminded of way too much last night. Yeah. All right, well, there's my thing. So on Friday,
Starting point is 00:33:34 I went to Dallas with the wife. It was our 10th anniversary on Friday. Congratulations. That's right. Yes. Making baby number three. That's no small feat. Hey, thanks.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Seriously. And we went to a little, oh, you know what we did first? God, this is so washed. So we're remodeling the house. We're almost back in, but we have a lot more house now, hence the purpose of the remodel. We need a new couch and like a big one. This looks pretty good. What are you doing with your old couch?
Starting point is 00:34:04 Because I love that thing. Oh, it'll be there. Oh. There's like a big one. This looks pretty good. What are you doing with your old couch? Because I love that thing. Oh, it'll be there. Oh. There's like a whole other... Oh, so you need to add a couch. Yeah, and a big one. I was wondering what you would sell me your other couch for because I love your other couch.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I didn't know that. Why am I just now finding out? No, I have it bookmarked in my phone still when I was over there. It's a comfortable couch. Your wife told me what kind of a couch it was and where to get it. And then I want to get it, and then my wife's like, oh, you want to do everything Jake does.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's a thing here, Danny. Are both of our wives like, oh, because Dan does it? Yeah. Oh, because Jake did it? Like, yeah, if I see him doing something that I think is a better thing than my bit, yeah, I'm going to do it. That's what you do in life. You adopt.
Starting point is 00:34:46 The problem is, is we passed each other in the night on the drinking thing. Because he was like, I'm going to start drinking with you, bud. And I'm like, Dan seems healthy. I'm going to stop. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:34:54 We both. I obviously, like every dude with a penis, I don't want to go look at decor. I hate it. I just hate it. I don't like going to the store decor. I hate it. I just hate it. I don't like going to the store with her. It's not about her. I just don't like doing stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Really? I love that stuff. I like just getting it done online. Yeah, because it's not going to matter. Case in point. Couch online is a tough one though, dude. Okay, so that's what I was going to say. In general, let's just do online.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You want to sit in it. But case in point i got my own little mini dragon den um and she's like what color do you want for the paint and the first three i selected she's like maybe something like this instead why'd you ask then why don't you pick i know it's cliche it's your place i was like no one will be up here but me. It's separate from the house. So I used to think. That's true. I used to be up here. No one was up here but me for the first nine years we owned this house.
Starting point is 00:35:54 It's work-related, though. Your family wasn't just hanging out up here. Right. So there's that. But then the couch, I actually really dig it. You're right. I want to sit on this couch. I want to lay on this couch. I But then the couch, I actually really dig it. You're right. I want to sit on this couch. I want to lay on this couch.
Starting point is 00:36:08 I might hump the couch. Just everything I'll be doing. Vance the couch. To the couch. I'll vance it up. So we went to three different places in Uptown, like furniture stores, and just went through the couches. That was the first thing you did? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Got to go while they're open. Boy, that's a rough start to the weekend. I was loving it. Well, then it's over. And then the couches we came away with. Then she's all amorous. She's ready to do it. Eating your vegetables first so then you can eat your meat.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Which I do. I do too. But I came away from that thinking like any of these top three right here, I'm good. You know? Really good. I like it. They're deep. They got the deep couch now.
Starting point is 00:36:47 It's not like for a tall guy, I don't want my knee to be this far away from the edge of the cushion. I want the cushion to extend to my knee. You guys know Lovesac makes couches? Yeah. They make everything. They do make everything. In my day, the Lovesac was just like the huge bean bag. Which we have. Yeah. they make the couch the seating at inwood theater is all lovesack probably it's all modular
Starting point is 00:37:12 yeah so you can configure it however you want and dan right here on your armrests they have an embedded iphone charger how about that dan where you just lay your phone down on the armrest. It's cordless, like a cordless. So you have to plug your couch in. Oh, yeah. Okay. Because there's also speakers in the couch. And it vibrates.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. And it's like... And you're getting this couch? I don't think so. Oh. But it's in the top three. So that was one thing. Then we went to dinner
Starting point is 00:37:45 Nice little French cafe Where'd you go? I can't remember what it was called In Uptown? Yeah Then that was pretty Potbelly? It was not Potbelly
Starting point is 00:37:55 Okay I know they have that there Saturday we walked to the farmer's market And had lunch down there Fun That's a fun day I'm a big Rex's fan Rex's has the best seafood.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Oh, dude. Or the best lobster roll in Dallas, in my opinion. Their tacos are outstanding as well. Love the lobster roll, but I like a hot lobster roll. I don't want that. The cold New England. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I'm with you. Then we went back to where we got married in southeast Dallas at the Trinity River Audubon Center, of which all three of you were present. We were. I was high as shit that day. You kind of look it. Yeah. There's a picture of everyone from the station there together, this little baby Blake, little 22-year-old Blake.
Starting point is 00:38:37 And we were looking at the pictures. My wife was like, I'll never forget, like, Blake. I said hi to Blake at our wedding, and he was like, you know my name? That was like a big deal. I think I was trading everybody my meat for their soup. You were. You were peddling protein for bisque. You had great soup, and I don't eat red meat.
Starting point is 00:38:56 So, yeah, I was just, I was bartering. So we walked around there. That was cool. And then on Saturday, then we went back to downtown where we stayed. We stayed at the hotel where we stayed the night of our wedding. And got a little pedicure downtown. Love it. I mean, come on, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I hadn't had a pedicure in like seven, eight weeks. And, Dan? In seven weeks? Yeah, same here. Oh, I got to go every two months. You know I won't do a pedicure. Your two months? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah, same. I did it once. Here's I got to go every two months. You know I won't do a pedicure. Your two months? Yeah. Yeah, same. I did it once. Here's the thing. Whites. Whoa. I told you. That might change the game. Dan won't get a pedicure from a minority, particularly an Asian,
Starting point is 00:39:35 because it makes him feel as if he's in a master-servant role. I've never seen anybody not from Vietnam in the place I go. That's what I'm saying. That's why I won't do it. You're typically going Laotian, Korean, Vietnamese. I had a white. I would probably get my shoe shined at a white guy's shoe shine place.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And that's kind of racist in a way. Like, I don't want to be racist. So you're taking jobs away from minorities. Yes, but I won't. Yeah. It just feels too mastery. You don't want to feed the stereotype. Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:40:04 It makes him feel like he's a slave owner. Yeah. Right. Missed a spot. Yeah. So I went to dinner at a place in Uptown again. It's called Mr. Charles. Phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Just say magnifique. But afterward, we were going to go to Rubier, who was doing three shows over Halloween weekend at the Bomb Factory, I guess in their smaller room. In the morning, we were like, we'll just make this call later on in the day. Was that called Halloween weekend? That's your party weekend.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Okay, next weekend is not? No. So tickets are only $25 in the morning. And then it's like, okay, we'll decide this afternoon. We got a ton of stuff going on all day. When we decided to check that afternoon, they had gone from $25 to like $125 or $150. Damn. So what are we going to do?
Starting point is 00:40:56 We did the we'll go see random comedy show. So you had a Blake TCU versus UNT situation here. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't want to pay for that. Also, it's kind of ironic that I was like, let's go. This will be fun. Like, let's just go see it. It's Halloween weekend.
Starting point is 00:41:13 You know this is going to be wild as fuck. She's like, yeah, I don't know. That just doesn't sound fun, like, without getting, like, messed up. And I'm like, how do you think I feel? Welcome to my. This is my reality. Now, is she trying to back off the drinking? She just would have a couple glasses of wine,
Starting point is 00:41:31 but if we were going to that show with friends, normally we would have all been going for it in various ways. Yeah, your lifestyle has to change. Yeah, I was like, huh, that sucks. You don't want to go to the gym. So, looked up a comedy show, found Dallas Comedy Club, which I've never been to.
Starting point is 00:41:52 It's in the far end of Deep Elm down there on Elm. It's a nice spot. Is that the place where they do improv and stuff? They do. They do everything. Yeah, but they have improv classes and stand-up classes. I think I've seen Brent Crable there. That definitely seems like a place he would have worked before.
Starting point is 00:42:10 There was a lady named Catherine Blanford headlining. I'm like, all right, whatever. I watched a couple of her clips on YouTube Shorts. It's like, oh, look it. Let's go. Oh, is that Kevin Blanford transitioned? That is a joke for three, and I'm one of them. Yeah, he used to work for the ticket.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Was Darcy Robinson with him? Yeah. Or her also. So we went to that. The wet spot. The 930 show. Oh, hell yeah. There were maybe, I think I counted 24 people for the headlining act really i guess
Starting point is 00:42:48 that's what it was the whole time it was a very weird experience because typically when i go see a comedy show even if it's a small venue it's an it's an act that everyone in the crowd knows their bit you know like for example going to see see Stavi or Nick from Comptown. I've even heard Lawrence say this because Lawrence opened for Nick one time. Lawrence Rosales. He's like, that's a Comptown crowd. Which is about as narrow of version of comedy you can get. Everyone there is there to hear the abortion joke.
Starting point is 00:43:22 The, you know, when would you pull out if you had to fuck your mom joke series. But if it's just a random group of people who just show up like, let's go to a comedy club like they got a coupon or something, that's a different experience. What do you mean? Well, the comedian doesn't know what that group of people is going
Starting point is 00:43:40 to find funny at all. And I think she's from Kentucky but she definitely had some jokes where when they fell flat, other than to my wife and I, she was like, that joke kills everywhere. She was like, in Dallas it appears I'm going to have to explain everything to you people.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And she wasn't wrong. Was she funny? She was very funny. Okay, but just too non-PC or something? It was just off the beaten path a little bit. And she was hot, too. Should we buy stock? Is that her?
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah. Hey, now. Okay. What's her name? Catherine Blanford. Catherine Blanford. She's like 34, 35. Should we buy stock in Catherine Blanford?
Starting point is 00:44:20 Well, I'm going to ask you to not go too hard, as I will remind you she is a woman. So there's a cap on how funny she can actually be. The market cap, I guess, of this stock. But, yeah, it was just she tried to do some crowd work, but then people were not really funny enough or into it enough or hadn't been to comedy shows. It's just weird.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Was it like a 45-minute set? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. was she dying no but she definitely was like uh her jokes were funny but there was just no flow to the show because she could it's like she expected something to work and then it was like now i go to this but she kept having to be like i can't believe that didn't get a laugh yeah other than for these two. Was it regional or what was the tone of the material? Some of it was just like if there's anything political at all, we're in a place where people
Starting point is 00:45:13 take that shit very seriously. Unfortunately. Gun jokes. Let's settle down with that. Maybe coming from a woman didn't help. She mentioned that several times. Let's settle down with that. Maybe coming from a woman didn't help. She mentioned that several times. But again, it was also Halloween weekend,
Starting point is 00:45:33 so people were not going to comedy shows. As evidenced by the fact that when I was walking through downtown on Saturday night, it was very tough to tell who was homeless or who was in costume. Interesting. And this is another funny thing that happened right outside our hotel. There was a Dia de los Muertos parade on Saturday night. The Day of the Dead for the Mexican culture, I believe, is actually this Friday or Saturday. It's the day after Halloween. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:04 So Friday. But they'll celebrate it sometimes the week before, week after it'll happen. So there was a parade in downtown that went by the Magnolia. So we go to go get our car
Starting point is 00:46:16 at about five from Valet and they're like, oh no, nobody can get their car until 10. 10? They had things already blocked off.
Starting point is 00:46:24 The whole street of commerce was shut down. I don't want to tell you that. Yeah, no joke. You'd think. Yeah. When we gave it back to them at like 3, we're like, we'll be back down in a bit. Nobody said a word.
Starting point is 00:46:34 So here's what I thought was funny about it. I was like, what's going on? The guy says, there's a parade of some sort. I think he actually said, there's a Mexican parade. Spot the line. I uh googling it like hey what's the route when did this when does this start you know is there something fun we could see here and i found uh like a web page for it where you could sign up to ride a horse in it if you have your own horse sign up to do like a uh carry a thing to honor a family member who is dead. But the website for where you signed up, it was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:07 the Dallas Dia de los Muertos Parade presented by Reliant Energy. Yes. And I just, I love, like, the only pride parade I've ever been to, like I went to one in D.C. one time, and it was sponsored by Wells Fargo. Or like a TDd ameritrade or something and it's like here's a guy up here with just a rock hard exposed dick on a bank float right like on a stock market uh advisor so it's just so weird it's like this it's so bizarre what those massive financial institutions will throw their money at. They'll throw their money
Starting point is 00:47:46 at Cockfloat, but at the same time, they're one of the biggest donors to anti-gay politicians or whatever. Yeah, stuff like that. It's so funny. Here's this thing that's core of Mexican culture, and it's like, brought to you by Reliant Energy. I guess that's
Starting point is 00:48:02 2024. Then we got back after it and flagged yesterday. I still only have one loss in my career, boys. Okay. Was it yesterday? Yeah. No, before I left. They lost two while I was gone.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Almost got in a fight. You did? Yep. It wasn't my fault. No, no. It's not your fault. Every other person. The guy made fun of your pedicure. What are you supposed to do? Every other person. The guy made fun of your pedicure. What are you supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:48:26 Every other person. No one made fun of that. Yeah, that's weird. Back to that parade thing being sponsored. It's kind of sad in a way that everything is for sale. So commercialized. So commercialized. Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:45 You know, we're going to talk about the cowboy game, and the cowboy talk today is brought to you by OwnWell. Okay. OwnWell. OwnWell.com. That is the place that helps homeowners save on property taxes. So instead of spending hours filing your property tax appeal and preparing for an in-person hearing, possibly losing your appeal anyway, or like we did years ago, we won the appeal,
Starting point is 00:49:18 and it was like for $30. They were like, look, since you came all the way down. Yeah, or in the USFL, we're ordered one dollar um you know they will do all of that for you take it out of your hands and then they will just take a small slice of whatever they can save you so you kind of think of it like well i would have saved zero. What if they saved me $100? They'll take $25. They take 25%, which I have come to learn is the lowest on the market. So other companies will do this.
Starting point is 00:49:56 They'll take 40% or 50%. OwnWell, 25%. Average customer savings in Dallas County, about $500. So, again, 86% of people who use OwnWell, they're going to save you money. That's factoring in what you pay them. So maybe you're part of the 14% who doesn't save money. Big deal. You pay nothing. So check them out.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Blake's already done this. I'm absolutely about to do it. Go check them out at ownwell.com slash partners slash the dumb zone. And in my preliminary research looking at this over the weekend, you'll see our logo. Yeah. Right there. Yeah, right at the top. I'm in year two of the OwnWell system.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And so this year I didn't have to do sign up or paperwork or anything. It's on auto appeal. And so they'll automatically check if my property tax is where it needs to be. And if it's not, they'll save me more money. So your sign up is not for just this year. It's going forward too. All right. Thank you, Ownwell.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Now, we can't avoid it anymore. Yeah, we can. No, we can't. Oops. Wait. God damn it. Yeah, we can.
Starting point is 00:51:00 It's sports. That was ironic. We're radio sports. We're radio sports. We're radio sports. Oh, yeah. I like't. It's sports. That was ironic. Oh, yeah, I like that. Well. What'd you expect? 49ers, 30.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Cowboys, 24. Oh, I was going to say. You got more on own well? Just because it was a bit of an uninspired effort, I think it's clear that this is a top-five offense, and the Suns are better, so it's not like the worst thing in the world to lose to them. I know, but they were coming off a back-to-back. They were.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Back-to-back where they had to play everyone to get past the Lakers. But I don't know. I think they're going to be in good shape. Well, plenty of time to talk Mavs. There's like 80 more of those games. I feel like you're already living up to the contract. There's only nine more. There's only nine more Cowboy games.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I mean, how in the world did the Dodgers jump out to a 2-0 lead in this World Series? It's incredible. Did not see that coming. And the Cowboys are 3-4 now. I mean, where is Lucid going to go? Like, shut up. And if you take a look at the upcoming schedule. They're lucky to be 3-4.
Starting point is 00:52:14 The upcoming schedule is not fortuitous. And if you take a look at the NFL standings, in particular the NFC East, you're going to see the Cowboys down in third place, and thanks to a miracle last-second play, that Washington, whatever they are, that's obviously got to be the biggest surprise in the NFL right now. And I would think the Cowboys have to be in line for biggest disappointment in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I know some people might say it's the Jets who only have a couple of wins. Maybe the Bengals. I was going to say Cincy maybe. The Bengals would have a good argument, but certainly a team that was 12 wins the past three years, you're kind of penciling them into the playoffs at least. Like even kind of an off year. But, you know, when you couple the Cowboys year with what Washington is doing, and Philly is still,
Starting point is 00:53:20 they're not crappy. They're not, I don't think, the height of Philly like they were the last couple years. But they're still a pretty solid team. I mean, they really took it to Cincinnati yesterday. I never believed that they were just done, done. You know, for all the, hey, Sirianni and Jalen Hurts don't talk and they lost the coordinators.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I never believed that they were just done, done. And here's the bad, bad news for Dallas. You know, you kind of alluded to it in saying their upcoming schedule. They're 3-4 and they haven't played either one of those two teams. And both of them look considerably better than Dallas right now.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah, history they've done well against them. Dak has. That ship has sailed. But yeah, history isn't this year. No. Let's just take a look at Zeke to prove to you that history isn't just this year. I don't know. Where do you start?
Starting point is 00:54:22 I guess you would start with, again, being in a significant hole, being down by double digits in a game, which has happened way too often. And then with the lack of firepower on offense, they're unable to get back in these games. I guess they got back in it. If you want to take a look, that they were down by six with three minutes to go. I'm so tired of that.
Starting point is 00:54:47 This one was a little bit different, though, because if we're talking Ravens, Saints, or Lions, they were getting the piss kicked out of them in the first quarter. At least this one they went to half and were up four. Progress. You held them to a few. Well, they did score, but it's 13-10. You're getting the ball back midway through the first. That was a little different.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Now, that team is also extremely banged up on offense. But this didn't feel like the other ones to me for most of it. It was just then they got absolutely shredded in the third quarter and their quarterback gave them nothing. And then they came with the Blake special of we'll try to throw some garbage time stats in here and make this a one-possession game. Yeah, I mean you had a banged-up team on offense still score 30 points. I guess the reason I'm saying this is that the reason they've been giving or we've been giving for, hey, their run game doesn't work,
Starting point is 00:55:44 is because we've been able to say, yeah, because they've been down so much and they can't commit to it. The other team knows this, that, whatever. That was not the case yesterday. They were down a field goal in the third quarter. They can't run the ball if the score is 100-0 or 1-0. It doesn't matter. Because Zeke has nothing. the score is 100-0 or 1-0. It doesn't matter. And you wonder how – Because Zeke has nothing.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Well, I mean, how much of it is due to what Zeke and the rest of these, you know, second or third options on any other team in the NFL are running behind? Because it's not like Cook came in there and did anything that was magnificent. No, but he's washed too, though. But, yeah, you're right. It's not good, but other teams also somehow, some way end up with...
Starting point is 00:56:29 He's last in the NFL in yards per contact. I'm not defending him. Let's see where he ranks. Out of 63 qualified backs, we got Zeke at 46th in yards after contact. He's a give up of a player.
Starting point is 00:56:48 And... Dowdle's sick, whatever that is. Yeah, that was an oddity, but, you know, you can't fault him for that, I suppose. Yeah, I can't. But, you know, they were still trying to establish the run. Oh, my God. Like, as I recall, as we were sitting there watching the game,
Starting point is 00:57:11 like, what are you doing here? Yeah, they were down 17 and running the football. I mean, is this a, you know, it's kind of an elementary fan thought, but you see it all the time in the NFL where at the end of a game when you're down by a bunch, you can get yardage, you can score. What if you just started acting like that earlier? Like, hey, we're in a spot. Know your team, maybe.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Know your personnel. Know that we cannot run the ball. Absolutely cannot do it it you put no resources into it in the offseason and i think enough evidence has presented itself now you've tried zeke you've tried even dowdle you've tried dalvin cook a little bit dalvin cook doesn't look any good you know you who's the small guy? You know, it's pretty clear. That's not your game. And it's pretty clear.
Starting point is 00:58:09 And Jerry probably is telling them this. How about the two guys we're paying? Let's just let them do their thing even more. You know, okay, if Dak has to throw it more and CD has to be relied on more, well, then I guess that's what they got. Or how about this? The head coach we hired, we thought this guy's an offensive mind. This guy can make things happen. This guy can figure things out. I mean, they had a bye week. What was their
Starting point is 00:58:39 creativity coming out of the bye week? Knowing they had these injuries and we're going to have to do something. We're going to have to do something insane to win this game. And they didn't try anything. They tried establishing the run over and over into the third quarter. Now you're down by 15. Well, let's still, first down, let's just see. We got a second and 15. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Let's hand off to the fullback. You know, it's just. Yeah, I mean. They had 56 yards rushing yesterday, despite the fact that they kept trying to do it. Brock Purdy had 56 yards rushing. Yeah, and they were more important and impactful yards too because he picks up first downs and he scored a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:59:29 But to go back to the bye week thing, I mean they had time to come up with something better than a zone read that involved Dak and Lipke on third and five on the opening drive of the game. Right now, to me, that is the worst play call of the NFL season. It's third and five. It was befuddling to me. You're on your own 41. This is what you've been scripting out.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Hey, what are the dozen or 15 plays we like the most in these situations? Okay. We've picked up one first down. Now it's third and five. I looked this up. Like third and five, that's not bad. It's not bad. To be in third and five, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:09 And they ran the zone read with Lipke back there because he's the blocking back. So you're kind of like, oh, they won't see this coming. Except coming into yesterday, and I guess still after yesterday, Dak has kept one zone read all season. One. I think for like, you know, I had to look up the leaderboard on Sports Info Solutions. Lamar's at like 50. Now those are the two polar opposites, but I'm just saying the reason you have to respect Lamar doing it is because he does it six or seven times a game. Dak's done it once all year. So absolutely nobody is going with him when he carries out that fake.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Nobody. Which leaves Fred Warner, Defensive Player of the Year candidate, completely free. To just blow Lipke up at the line of scrimmage. Lipke's career rushing high in an attempt before yesterday. And still is six yards. And I think he had 14 yards on five carries going into yesterday. Now he has 14 on six. His career long run?
Starting point is 01:01:16 Yeah, it was six yards. Is a six-yard run. Yeah, so he would have needed to career to get the first down. Yeah, so both parts of the play. It's third and five, and it's like, what if we fool him into Dak keeping this one to get a guy out of the box? Well, he's done it once all year. What if Kulovki picks up the longest run of his year?
Starting point is 01:01:36 Then we'll get a first down? Like, that was insane. It's the opening drive. You had all this time to think about this. The thing is, is the guys, the defense has probably been prepped to know that. Yeah, he's not keeping that. He's not
Starting point is 01:01:51 keeping it. The thing is, Dak is not good enough to be a one-dimensional quarterback. He's just not. He was more effective when he had a little bit of scoots underneath him. Yeah, you don't have to take off. No, I'm not asking him to be wild ass.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Those rollouts used to work way better for him. Made Schultz a lot of money. He's just not skilled enough like, I don't know, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or who's maybe more of a current reference of a guy that pretty much just relies on his arm and his instincts and his passing ability to move the ball down the field and not so much his legs. For people like Purdy, that's an option. Those guys have options.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Baker's got that option. Most guys have it now. Most guys have that option, and we've got a quarterback that pretty much, unless he's got the perfect scenario of a great pocket, five seconds to throw the ball, and a core of receivers that fight to get open, he's pretty ordinary, man. He's pretty fucking middle of the road.
Starting point is 01:02:55 It's tough. I bet you could find the line in the sand of the Cowboys red zone offense after he broke his leg. Because in the red zone, he would run that read option, he would keep a lot and score a lot. You're right. And if he didn't keep it, they would respect him. Yeah. Dak. There's nothing the Cowboys
Starting point is 01:03:14 do that surprise anybody. That opening drive said it all. At that point, like you said, a week and a half off, we've got to work in some wrinkles here, and they'll never see this coming play is a fullback dive to Hunter Lipke. That's tough.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I couldn't believe that call. And guess what? They believed it because they were right there to stop it. He got smushed. He did. So Dak has 24 yards rushing this year in seven games. Yeah. This team does not have good personnel.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I mean, you go back and look. Joe Flacco. Oh, I love him. No way. Let's go. Has 26 yards rushing in three games. I mean, my question last night was how many quarterbacks have more athleticism or how many quarterbacks does he have more athleticism than right now?
Starting point is 01:04:12 Marcus Mariota. Oh, come on. He's played a half. Has played, yeah, parts of two games. He has 36 yards rushing. Tua has 41 yards rushing. I'm just looking up here Guys who have barely played
Starting point is 01:04:27 Mason Rudolph And Tua risks his life when he runs DTR Was in what? One, two quarters? The Browns game I was at Yeah He's got 44 yards rushing
Starting point is 01:04:41 I'm just looking up at guys who have barely even sniffed the field who are above him. Tyler Huntley has tripled the amount of yards rushing. Okay, hold on real quick. What did you say it was, 24? Mm-hmm. Okay, so this one doesn't totally fit your narrative. Maybe you were about to do it.
Starting point is 01:05:00 What? Go ahead. So Dalton has only played in six games, but he is 37 and he is Andy Dalton. He's got 34 rushing yards. Right. He's played less games. Less games. And he's like 37-year-old Andy Dalton.
Starting point is 01:05:13 And if we go up to the top of the list is, of course, Lamar. He has 501 yards rushing this year. And then you would say, but he's Lamar. He certainly can't throw. He has 2,000 yards passing. Now, he does have a game on Dak, but he's got 200 more yards passing as well than Dak. Do you want to go back to your thought that you'd still rather have Dak than Lamar that you were throwing out there before the Baltimore game?
Starting point is 01:05:47 No. I can't believe I said that. I thought it was Dak over golf. Wasn't it Lamar? I don't think I said that. I swear to God, I'm going to go back. Well, you know I won't do it. I can find that audio.
Starting point is 01:06:03 I definitely said it. I'm going to ask Beth to do it. I love how Dan checks himself in can find that audio. I definitely said it about Dan. I'm going to ask Beth to do it. I love how Dan checks himself in mid-sentence. Drop Beth. I definitely said it about golf. Because I thought it was before that game, and you're like, no, no, I still wouldn't. I'm like, two-time MVP? You might have.
Starting point is 01:06:15 No, though. He's Dak. And I'm also not going to rule. Wait, was that before rehab? Yeah. I'm also not going to rule out. You can throw everything away that you ever said before. I know for sure –
Starting point is 01:06:26 Now you're clear-headed. I know for sure that I've said that before, but it, I think, was a few years ago. Yeah. But, I mean, there's a time where I definitely thought that. Now I have to question the golf one. But you – But golf also has a pretty sweet suite of players to work with and the Cowboys. But the other thing, too, is their offense isn't dealing with injury.
Starting point is 01:06:49 That's why McCarthy's situation frustrates me so much. This is who they knew they'd have back in August. Now, it sucks this is all they have. This is what Jerry did in his version of all-in is, why don't you just kind of keep what we had last year on offense except make it worse? Yeah, take a couple away. And we'll make that your make or break season.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Put a couple of rookies in real key spots. Throw them in the offensive line. I'm sure it'll be fine. I mean, it's worked before. Not have an RB1 and RB2, but have an RB2 and RB3. Not have a wide receiver two, but have a one and then like a four, five, and six. How about that? If Zeke was on the waiver wire.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Right now? No chance. Nobody would touch him. wire. Right now? No chance. Nobody would touch him. Nobody. With the renegades. Will Zeke be on an NFL roster? Will he make an XFL team? Let me tell you something right now.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Humblebrag. At some point, I need to tell you guys more about how this played out yesterday. We have a ringer on our team this season in flag football. He is currently playing on an XFL roster. Oh, wow. He would beat Zeke by 20 yards in a 100-yard dash right now. He is not an XFL player at this point.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I'm telling you, dude. And I'm saying this after last night where he actually had three or four runs where it telling you, dude. And I'm saying this after last night where he actually had three or four runs where it's like, okay. Cowboys leading rusher. He didn't fall down at the line of scrimmage. So he had, his 11-yard run was his first carry. Yeah. He finished
Starting point is 01:08:17 with 10 carries for 34 yards. Okay. So a 3.4 average is pretty bad. Yeah. 9 for 23 is what? Like 2.7 a 3.4 average is pretty bad. Yeah. 9 for 23 is what, like 2.7 to carry? Yeah. And then he had another maybe 7 or 8 yard run.
Starting point is 01:08:33 If we take that away, Zeke is running into the back of the line and falling down almost every time that he carries the ball. All of their backs are. No, and then they're like, well, maybe Dalvin Cook will give us a spark. Six for 12. But he did break one off
Starting point is 01:08:49 for four. I mean, if we take that away, he's only five for eight. His dad says he's not washed. Alright, yeah, let's hear that. So, this was his dad,, I guess, upon Googling this,
Starting point is 01:09:09 I remember there were a couple stories about his dad, one of which is like he had a wild cat. I don't know if the story says wild cat, not like wild cat. Like exotic cat? I think so, some sort of. I didn't even know his dad was in the. Okay, yeah. I'll go in the media game... I didn't even know his dad was in the... Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:26 I'll go in the media game. I knew his mom as well. That's what I was going to say, is that I've always just associated it with his mom. But upon Googling this, I do recall that his dad had a situation with a wild animal. This is from 2019. Stacey Elliott, also known as Stacey L. Muhammad.
Starting point is 01:09:48 So he must have hit the portal. Is facing 21 charges, including allowing a dangerous wild animal to escape, failure to notify of a dangerous wild animal escape and possession of a dangerous wild animal after his possession of a dangerous wild animal after his serval you've heard of that? S-E-R-V-A-L which is an African wildcat got loose
Starting point is 01:10:13 and attacked a dog. So I do remember that story but it's much more his mom who's out there talking cowboys and talking Zeke and football. But in this case his dad was on. He's with Clarence and another guy I didn't recognize. It looks like they're doing one of those Cowboys shows where they're at House of Blues or something.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Brad Sham is there sometimes. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, Cowboys happy hour? That's what it looks like. The player's there randomly sometimes. They've got his dad on. Oh, hold on one sec. You know, I really feel like that was an A1 setup.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Am I good, Blake? I think so. I could say that his ego doesn't feel crushed because he's not the so-called guy. He is the guy. As long as you believe he's the guy. I mean, give him an opportunity and then say he's not the guy. But if you never give him an opportunity, you can never's not the guy but if you never give him an opportunity you can never really say he's the guy i said it before i'll say it again all these
Starting point is 01:11:11 analysts all these uh wise people show me film where he's not the guy show me film from this year he's not the guy i'll pay you ten thousand dollars,000 if you can show me. Anybody can show me. And I'm talking. We'll talk. $10,000. I will give him $10,000. That's real. I mean, I've got last night's game saved on YouTube TV.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I'll exchange you that for $10,000, please. I mean, obviously, who cares? The dad talking shit. But by that measure, you're also the guy just because you haven't gotten your opportunity to show that you're not. That's true. I've not been given eight carries in an NFL game yet to prove that I'm not. And to Zeke's credit, it's not like he's making a ton of noise about it, but he's the worst running back who's getting carries right now in the NFL. And he's getting a decent amount of them.
Starting point is 01:12:09 And that would be fine if he was backing up Derrick Henry. But he's backing up a guy who's a backup. And so is Jalen Brooks and Kavante. And all the BS last year was, man, they really needed him for the short yardage stuff. Well, they don't even use him for that. No. They're more apt to use Hunter Lipke.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah, he's better at it. And Zeke was not better at Pollard at that last year. I mean, I went and looked at it, and they were about the same. It was just that those are the only carries they gave Zeke because that was about all he could handle. So he had more first downs and touchdowns because they were just giving him the ball in those situations. There's no rule that states when it's third and one,
Starting point is 01:12:56 you have to only get a yard and a half. That's able to be turned into seven. Just watch what the Niners did last night. That's a to be turned into seven. Just watch what the Niners did last night. Yeah. That's a bad situation. I've seen a couple of Dallas media people on Twitter. Like, oh, they're good at the video editing, so they'll go find a video from 2016 and put it right next to a video from this year, like the exact same play type thing.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah. And the exact same, you know, whatever minimal hole will be open in the line. And 2016, Zeke scoots through it and gets, you know, eight yards. And this year, Zeke falls right when he hits that hole. You know, it's a tiny hole. It's not really there. The league knows. I mean, even when they went to Pittsburgh and people were, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:44 that screen pass that Zeke caught and ran for 70, or even the game-winning touchdown right up the middle, that's not the same running back. No. Nope. So, let's see here. The running game bad. Zeke bad.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Got some fantasy yards from Lamb and Dak. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Cool. That hurt my fantasy team, actually. You guys probably had a good time watching with friends and making jokes and eating pizza and letting Blake do his own show. But I'm telling you, watching that game alone on a couch
Starting point is 01:14:21 and investing three-plus hours, it is effing painful. They're an aggressively boring team. It is so painful to watch these games. They have no swagger. There's nothing creative about it. They're just a boring team, Dan. I don't know that I've seen it. Yeah, at least if you're losing shootouts or... They're just boring. That's why you
Starting point is 01:14:38 long for Romo right now. That was always fun. Crazy girlfriend. I think I'm only going to point it out because it would have been pointed out to me if it was the other way around.
Starting point is 01:14:57 But certainly the Cowboys had some momentum in that fourth quarter and oh my God. Wait a second. I thought that you just had momentum. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 01:15:07 You can actually make four stops then? And then they don't have momentum? Does it work that way? Well, I thought the game was over in the third quarter because the Niners seemed to me to have a lot of momentum. They had the momentum. But then the Cowboys did. But then, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Okay. I just wanted to mark that off. Mark that off the list. Lack of takeaways. Now, the defense is really banged up. Yeah. But they're minus eight in turnover differential right now. And I think last year they were plus ten.
Starting point is 01:15:38 And that's always been a dicey thing to hang your hat on. A volatile stat. Yeah. A dicey thing to hang your hat on. A volatile stat. Yeah, but if you are a team that gets to the quarterback a lot and you do have guys who can make plays in the secondary like Bland and like Diggs, Diggs is not going to have 11 or 12 or Bland's not going to have whatever he had all that often. But if you do get to the quarterback a lot,
Starting point is 01:16:04 you can typically be somewhat consistent in forcing turnovers. whatever he had all that often. But if you do get to the quarterback a lot, you can typically be somewhat consistent in forcing turnovers. Because one affects the other. Yeah, you're going to be able to get a – like, I mean, last night I can almost promise you that if Micah is the one getting that sack on Purdy late in the game, that ball is coming out. The one that he – Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Now, how much does a humming along offense help that, too? You got to throw. Well, playing with the lead helps. That's what I mean. Because the Cowboys are constantly playing from behind. I'll say that, but also say they weren't necessarily yesterday when Dak was throwing interceptions. No.
Starting point is 01:16:39 I think that's what I'm saying. Is it both for Dak and the running game? Dak was making some poor. There was really no need if you're like, oh, he's got to press because they were down. Right. I think that's what I'm saying. Is it both for Dak and the running game? Dak was making some poor – There was really no need if you're like, oh, he's got to press because they were down. Right. That was the excuse earlier this year.
Starting point is 01:16:51 I could buy it. And now it's like, dude, I don't even want to think that he's pressing because pressing would mean that he's actually seeing that they're – that that's there and being like, F it. I'm going to let this ride. I just don't think he's seeing it. It's the same as the Lions game when, what was it, kid from Alabama, right?
Starting point is 01:17:09 What's his name? Brian Branch. I just don't think he's seeing these guys, which is really concerning. I was trying to sit and think, what if they didn't, would it be better if they hadn't given him the contract extension? Imagine if he was free right now.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Going to be free. Yeah. He would get paid, but it'd be closer to Baker than what he is now. No. Probably not. But if that were the case and the season is going the exact same way, would you say you would use that as one of the things to blame for the season going the way same way, would you say that you would use that as one of the things to blame
Starting point is 01:17:47 for the season going the way it's going? Oh, because you didn't pay him. You didn't pay him. That's true. It's a distraction and people are asking about it all the time. Okay, so they did that to get the distraction away.
Starting point is 01:18:00 I mean, that's almost a no-win for the team, I guess. That's narrative kindling to just burn. But you know what, though, is at least if that were the case, we could entertain ourselves with quarterback draft talk. Right. And now it's like they're not – one, it's a terrible class. And two, Dak is the quarterback for the next several years.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Yeah, Schroeder's number one right now. I think you're right about – He's up there. Something being different about what he's seeing. Something, yeah. Because you don't make that throw. A normal quarterback doesn't make the throw that he made on the first play of their final drive.
Starting point is 01:18:47 That should have been picked by three different people. And I've looked at that from every camera angle that was offered and tried to see if he was blinded. In the postgame, he said, I should have thrown it higher. And looking at it, no, you shouldn't have thrown it at all. He was lucky Warner tipped it because otherwise the safety was there for an interception. And even the guy covering CD was there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:14 There was no way that was a good decision. Yeah, you might just have a guy who's, I mean, he's reached a higher level than anybody could have ever thought, including himself. You know, he's gotten paid twice. And he's just not that same player that he was when he got paid the first time. You talked about it a long time ago. We've been talking about it today. But just Dak without the running threat
Starting point is 01:19:36 is an average quarterback, if that. He needs full compliment, man. He needs a compliment around him. Very ordinary. Yeah, but he's no running threat right now. Zero. And that's... Then what is he?
Starting point is 01:19:54 It's kind of a classic case, too, for the modern era where you get these guys early in their career and they have to rely on their legs a lot and you just kind of think to yourself, well, as they get older older that part will leave them but the mental game will develop yeah and that's not to the point we're not seeing that no that's the thing is that you take somebody like uh oh i don't know i mean heck baker for that Baker's athletic, but he's not as athletic as he used to be. Mahomes is even not as athletic as he used to be. Baker's a better quarterback than Dak Prescott right now.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But some of these guys get better at that as they get older. Like Daniel Jones hasn't and never will. And now we're kind of starting to see that that's the category Dak finds himself falling into.
Starting point is 01:20:52 So last thing on my thing before we get to some game audio, see what Collinsworth had because I didn't get to listen. That was Danny's privilege. Let's go to the postgame. Let's go to a guy learning that a media member had kind of had a smart-ass tweet about him on Twitter and the confrontation, the Trayvon Diggs confrontation of Mike Leslie. I didn't even think it was that smart-ass.
Starting point is 01:21:27 What did he say? It was a play where Kittle got loose. It was the Kittle play where Kittle almost scored the touchdown. So he's rumbling down the field, and Mike Leslie said something like, What is Diggs doing on this play? That's pretty much it with a little exclamation question mark. I mean, I've seen way worse, way, way worse. And yeah, it's that play didn't happen because Trayvon Diggs didn't want to tackle, but you've made the reputation for yourself as a guy who doesn't
Starting point is 01:21:53 want to tackle. And on that play, there was a bust. There were probably two busts. He wasn't doesn't look like he's, but it also doesn't look like going a hundred percent there at the, you know, once Kittle was already 20, 25 yards down the field, like Trayvon was one of the guys over there that could have forced him out of bounds perhaps a little earlier. Sure, and he was not really having it. No. The thing that was amazing to me.
Starting point is 01:22:16 And Kittle, that's a big man to get. You can make a couple business decisions there every now and then when it comes to big Iowa. The thing that was, I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised by this considering the modern athlete and what our social lives are like. But how fast did he have to get to his phone? You shouldn't be surprised by it at all.
Starting point is 01:22:39 And here's exactly what happened. I mean, that's the first thing that he did. He didn't search that out. You know, we used to talk about, hey, guys who have search alerts for their name, it's just one of their dudes, one of their boys or their mom sent it to them. Text them and say, hey, look at what
Starting point is 01:22:53 Mike Leslie did on Twitter. As if that's important. No, they sent it to him saying, go front him the fuck up about this. That's exactly what it is, dude. Dude, he hadn't even had time to take his shoulder pads off. The first thing he saw when he looked at his family group chat
Starting point is 01:23:12 was someone in his family saying, that reporter's got it out for you. That reporter's been saying this or that. He's heated because the game's over and they just got their head kicked in. He knows where Leslie is at that point. He's like, I'm just going to go do it. That is how they are. They're doing it at halftime. I promise you.
Starting point is 01:23:32 They're in there looking at their phone at halftime. Yes. At least a peek. I know they do it in the NBA. I wonder if that would fly in a Belichick locker room. It'd be like going to a Jack White concert where you have to put your phone in one of those bags and you don't get it. You don't get it until
Starting point is 01:23:48 you're dismissed. Is it too much to ask that you focus on? I don't think so. It is. Do we have that video, Rob? Want to play the Trayvon? You don't know football. You can't do nothing that I do.
Starting point is 01:24:05 You can't go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop crying, you know. Just asking a question, Trayvon. I mean, I'm happy to have you answer the question. That whole play, that's what you took from that? That's what you got from that? That whole play, that's what you got from that?
Starting point is 01:24:19 I'm asking you. We can talk about it more. What were you doing? That's awesome. Things are going great. We'll talk about these nuts. Yeah, we can talk about it if you want. Yeah, we can talk about these nuts.
Starting point is 01:24:33 Call them a fucking clown. Also, it's an interesting exchange if we want to play it again. You can't do what I do. That's horrible. I don't know that mike leslie was anywhere in there claiming that he could and then he told him stay in your lane bro where mike leslie is a reporter who comments on the cowboys so it feels like that was his exact lane um unless mike leslie was purporting to be an nfl uh coach or an expert on film uh i think he's kind of like speaking for the fan there just kind of wondering and it certainly wasn't the focus of
Starting point is 01:25:16 the breakdown of that play was not trayvon diggs no no and but but also should trayvon diggs should absolutely not do that. That makes it look like this team is falling apart. It does. He should not do that on a couple different levels. The obvious one of the way the optics of it, that it makes it look like they're falling apart. Another one is he's pretty clearly saying,
Starting point is 01:25:41 don't blame me for this shit. You know what I mean? Yeah, like somebody else. Yeah, that's what you took out of this. Like what you're supposed to say. Yeah, what you're supposed to say is like, hey, it's a team game, team bust. If you leave somebody open, somebody else might have to come off their man. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:57 You know, if somebody screws up, it puts somebody else in a bad spot. But he not only went out there and kind of showed his ass, he did it in a way to be very much a don't blame me, I'm doing my job, which is never a good look for an athlete, especially somebody who's supposed to be one of your leaders. But, yeah, the whole thing, you don't know football, you couldn't do what I do, stay in your lane, that is his lane. His lane is the, like you said, ask questions fans would ask
Starting point is 01:26:25 and then ask the players about it. He's another guy who had some gaudy stats, got paid. Yeah. You get paid, man. You're good. Yeah. He's still getting paid. By the way.
Starting point is 01:26:35 Out of that whole play that you took from that, you don't know football. You can't do nothing that I do. You can't go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Buddy is a real disrespectful dude. He's got his phone in his hand. That's a good question, Trayvon. I mean, I He's got his phone in his hand. That's a good question, Trayvon. I mean, I'm happy to have you answer the question.
Starting point is 01:26:48 That's a good question. That whole play, that's what you took from that? That's what you got from that? That whole play, that's what you got from that? I'm asking you. We can talk about it more. What were you doing? What were you doing?
Starting point is 01:27:01 That was a different person, wasn't it, that said, what were you doing? Sound like a different voice. I'm not sure. Yeah, but a fellow media member who shall remain anonymous, and I've met Mike a couple times. I don't know him that well. He does fine work, but I don't know him. But he's definitely like TV bro guy.
Starting point is 01:27:22 And a fellow media member said something to the media effect of he's absolutely going to make this a major sign the screen type moment you know where this went viral and he's going to be asking the question of like oh this is great for not just great for him but it's it's it for sure any media guy that has this happen to them that's what the player also has to take into account when they're doing these things. It's good for them. This is what they want. But you can write his next commentary on WFA right now of like, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:54 maybe it wasn't all about that one play. But then again, maybe it is. Here's 1,500 words. I love it. Things are going great. What were you doing there? Yeah, I think that was him. Yeah, and I'm excited for Micah.
Starting point is 01:28:13 I'm excited for Jerry on the fan. This is great. I want to find out. They're not going to make any trades, right? They've decided that whether it's Koopa Cup or whoever, they're not interested. So this is what they've got. They're going to be probably dogs for their next five games.
Starting point is 01:28:31 This might ignite them for the trade deadline, but I just don't know what they can do. I don't know if Cooper Cup is really on the trade block. I know Hop was. People are like, boy, he's not a great fit. Okay, he's not a great fit. Sure. He's available for a third that could turn into a second or maybe a fourth into a third. Derek Henry's not a great fit. Okay, he's not a great fit. Sure. He's available for a third that could turn into a second
Starting point is 01:28:45 or maybe a fourth into a third. Derrick Henry, not a great fit. He doesn't fit in our offense. Right. Can't afford him to. Derrick Henry doesn't fit in your offense? Wait, are y'all saying they're buying? Well, I mean, Jerry's not going to sell.
Starting point is 01:29:00 So I was just saying Dan was saying there's not much that they would do. Okay. What do they have to sell? Hell, sell everybody. I don't care. How about not everybody? How about not the kicker? No.
Starting point is 01:29:16 Let's build around him. It's a new idea. Is he back in jury duty today? Yes. Tomorrow, I think, right? One or the other. I think they said tomorrow. Trico said he's off the plane and headed to Tarrant County.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Wow. I thought he said that he had Monday off and he's going back tomorrow. But whatever. Apparently it's a pretty big criminal case, right? I think. It's a felony. Yeah. Well, we'll find out.
Starting point is 01:29:41 I'll have to get in contact with him and see if he's going to be available tomorrow. You know it's bad when the most exciting thing about your football organization happens between Monday and Saturday. Oh, yeah. It's good for us. I'm sure they're going to sell more tours this week because maybe I'll see Trayvon Diggs. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:30:02 And I'll see if he's still mad or see if Micah Parsons is limping. Oh, God. Why can't I just pick a new team? All right, let's do Collinsworth and stuff after a little break. Boom. The Dunza, Dunza, Dunza, Dunza. The State of Texas Podcasting needs leadership it can trust.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Leadership that shares your values. Dan McDowell is a known hippie communist. I feel like I'm lacking electrons in my body. It feels like they all just left me. Do you want this man in your neighborhood? I just searched shoes without rubber sole. He uses an electric chainsaw and his wife mows his yard. He's a woke parent who allows his children to embarrass him.
Starting point is 01:30:56 Guess what? I actually don't know what's worth the hang zone or the dumb zone. What's worse? Dan McDowell, carpet bagging cuck Podcasting in Texas Deserves more Paid for by mothers against their husbands Being pussies
Starting point is 01:31:13 You're listening to The Dumb Zone Use this tiny opportunity To promote dumbzone.com. Not the dumb zone, but dumbzone.com. We've got all kinds of stuff on there. And since it is an ad-supported day, we have a little spot in there for all the promo codes and stuff.
Starting point is 01:31:41 So if you ever miss one of those, it's on dumb. You know what? Um, not really the full viewer mailbag today, just three birthdays. So I thought I could give those to you right now before we do cowboy audio, the still looking for, uh, naming the Thursday
Starting point is 01:32:05 if we're going to just kind of save good emails for one day. Right. We could each have some. What was wrong with the name you came up with? What did I have? Let's see. You know, I thought I would have it right in front of me.
Starting point is 01:32:22 Oh, the Thursday viewer mail follow-up extravaganza inclement fossil thing. Um, you have to put my um in there? That's what you said. You don't think I'm self-conscious enough about the fact that I can't speak? I think you speak good. Thanks, girl. Like I said, just a few birthdays.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Boys, paid D1 Subby 480 here. I'd like to wish happy birthday to my daughter, Cora. I tried giving her a unique name 13 years ago, but I screwed up and I didn't watch Downton Abbey. Is there a Cora? I don't know, but I do know that is a popular name. Was she one of the ones that was there? The back that was there? No? I don't know, but I do know that is a popular name. Was she one of the ones that was there? That was there?
Starting point is 01:33:08 No, I don't know. I don't know. More roast twins and robs off Mike Cussing. Fuck it. I'll be a plus one for a backyard show near the hallowed table. Isn't that on the market now? It will be this week, yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Should we do a show there? We got to do a show there before you get rid of it. Does the table stay? Probably, yeah. We had to price up all the furniture. I think we need that table. Dude, yeah. That table should be in our studio.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Yeah, I mean, I think the only way that it would really be worth it is if we recreated the photo. Our Smithsonian. With the two of you, I'm off to the side. Sure. That's in the calendar. And he signs off, go Plano. Wildcats.
Starting point is 01:34:00 Go Plano East. Wildcats. I donano East. Wildcats. I don't know. Plano East Panthers. From Tyler the Leech Guy. Apparently he's emailed us about leeches. He really has. Quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:34:15 I think he was the one that might have told us about his wife having to clean him up at the hospital. They kind of just crawl around full of blood. Yeah, you got to find them. Now, you know I don't like to work blue, but I will tell, I've become more a fan of the word because they use it a lot on the boys. Because there's like a British guy in it. So if 13-year-old Cora wants to tune out, she can. But the point is I'm going to read the next birthday, which starts...
Starting point is 01:34:46 It's going to be an F-bomb. C-word. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Connoisseur of the cunt or something. Dear cunt Dracula. They do love that word, man. It just shows the more you use a word, the less power it has.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Sure. Yep. Do you want to take that first step? I'd like to wish good DZ listener Derek happy Dirk birthday. Y'all are the best. Have an awesome week from Chase, who says $.90 sent to your Venmo for your efforts. Nice email. And finally, this is an email from Philip T. Kingston.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Oh, boy. Esquire. One of the dream... Kind of the... He's probably the homelander of the dream team. I can't. Estimado Tio Pano Chador. He says, that's Spanish for high old Dan.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Today is my Ray Lewis birthday, which I have been led to believe entitles me to one free murder. Just get rid of the suit. Alternatively, you could give me one as a gift. Check my gift registry for a list of names. I am traveling with a huge
Starting point is 01:36:14 DF named Shahid. He sometimes tells white people to call him Sean. So everyone on this F1 trip calls him Sean Heed. Let's see. More TC, Caitlin, Heart Attack Man, and Saroy.
Starting point is 01:36:34 Leader is Danny for absolutely refusing to listen to any so that he's not hosting. i'm a d1df but since someone published the whole spreadsheet of subby numbers with associated emails i'm keeping my number to myself no one ran that shit past legal by the way i think he's talking to you there blake probably talking to me there i venmoed a little walking around money to the DZ account to assure you read this without complaining too much. I pay your salary with the salary you paid me. Inception. Much love from the Congressman Tony Hall of the DZ, Philip T. Kingston. Was he on our list of guys we might want to have in here to watch the election with us?
Starting point is 01:37:24 Yeah. Very much so. Would he be on board with that? I want to lap up his liberal tears. Oh, yeah. Alright. Oh, yeah. As we transition into
Starting point is 01:37:39 speaking about or, excuse me, playing Cowboys game audio, let us just remind you that the Cowboy Watching Party and Cowboy Game Audio today will be brought to you by Lone Star Beer. How about a little Lone Star Beer, the national beer of Texas? Really, what would a watching party be without it? Great time last night.
Starting point is 01:38:00 I prefer the Lone Star Light. Blake is usually the red guy with the Lone Star Lite. Blake is usually the red guy with the Lone Star Reg, the Reggie. It is authentically Texan, not Testin. Authentically Testy. Awesome merch. So if you go to their merch site, LoneStarBeer.com, you can use the code DUMZONE21 to get 21% off your merchandise. It's a pretty slick shirt. You like that shirt?
Starting point is 01:38:27 Oh, you have a Lone Star Beer shirt on today? I do. I bought this on the website. They have a lot of great merch there. You're an irony shirt guy. That's right. Yeah. It's like 100% cotton. I don't know if it's going to fit me.
Starting point is 01:38:42 It's perfect. It's stretchy. Solid, solid. And I think they made it in Korea. Taiwan. They actually make it in Texas. You know what? Now that you say that. They make the beer in Texas.
Starting point is 01:38:58 They make their merch in Texas. Because they are the national beer of Texas. They have brewed in Texas for 140 years, and they are authentically Texan. Thank you, Lone Star Beer and Lone Star Light. All right. You've gone through this, vetted it. I have.
Starting point is 01:39:18 So the first one I'm going to play for you, we— Oh, can I do this? I'm sorry. I have a non-funny Collinsworth that I asked Danny to pull. Is it the pass interference? Yeah. Do you want to do that one? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:31 This is – Just because I think that was a talking point for the game. Oh, they win without that call or without that call being made. I'm not – yeah, I'm just not really sure why. So the Kittle touchdown, which, you know, did great things for my fantasy football team, but bad things for the Dallas Cowboys, that looked like the definition of a pick play.
Starting point is 01:39:55 Yeah, outside receiver goes in and essentially tackles basically two Cowboy defenders. Or did like three flat. Like every ref on the field was like, okay, that was as obvious as it's ever been. And then they picked him up. Yeah, and the first thing I said in trying to search for a reasoning behind it
Starting point is 01:40:13 was maybe, I think it might have been Dono, like maybe they're saying that he engaged with the receiver first and then kind of sold a fall. But it really looked to me like there was nothing he could do to get out of the way because he was just playing it normally and the receiver tracked him and kind of blew him up. But let's go to the broadcast.
Starting point is 01:40:33 I'm sorry. You know what? I don't care because that one wasn't my fault and that makes me feel good. And it was a really good intro though once again. The officials will discuss. I mean, that was a knockdown pick right there on the outside just drilling Donovan Wilson was gone there's no foul for offensive
Starting point is 01:40:55 pass interference and George Kittle on his day gets a touchdown let's go back to why here. This is not offensive pass interference. Were they doing that all game? Yeah, Mike. It looks like the defender, one, steps in front of the receiver trying to run around, and second, the other defender engages him and kind of rides him into him right here.
Starting point is 01:41:21 So this is not offensive pass interference. This was correctly picked up. Yeah. All right, I need that ref guy before a play actually saying that. Yeah. Because I've never heard them do that. They always just kind of just
Starting point is 01:41:36 support whatever the refs on the field do. Because they're buddies. Usually they are guys who have worked for them. So. Yeah, that was. I'm not. I'd like a little pushback on that from Collinsworth or something. I think he might actually have.
Starting point is 01:41:55 I think Collinsworth gave a, hey, you can get away with that. It's going to be guys taking acting classes. So, yeah, maybe 30 minutes into the game, I saw Machoda tweet about an incident that occurred regarding members of the Jones family. I think Charlotte, Jerry Jr., maybe, and Shy Jr. Oh, I heard. Like, are car accidents or something?
Starting point is 01:42:25 Really, really weird. I don't know what this means, but maybe this is just the sort of thing that if you're driving into the fancy areas of stadiums, this can happen. I don't know. A little news right before the game on the way over here. The vehicle's bringing the Jones family over.
Starting point is 01:42:40 The second vehicle in the family caravan was struck by a rising barricade outside of Levi's Stadium on the way in. Two of Jerry's kids, Charlotte and Jerry Jr., who have their roles in the leadership of the team, plus his grandson, Shai, was there as well in the vehicle. Charlotte and Jerry Jr. were both evaluated by team medical staff here at the stadium and were able to move on to the visitor's owner's suite
Starting point is 01:43:02 for the rest of tonight's game. So we wish all of them the best. We're glad to hear on to the visitor's owner's suite for the rest of tonight's game. So we wish all of them the best. We're glad to hear there's nothing worse there. Yeah, glad to hear that they were not fatally wounded by a rising barricade. What is this, Game of Thrones? What is a rising barricade? Is it moving? I know there's a bunch of people out there listening.
Starting point is 01:43:20 Or is it a barricade that you just put on there and it's called a rising barricade? I have no idea i'm sure there are people listening who do know and have a perfect idea of how this all looks and works but i'm very confused uh it looks like okay let me see i google imaged levi stadium rising barricade and there is a thing here. But how would that have hit them? And even if it started going up when they were... I'll turn on the computer. Can I do that?
Starting point is 01:43:56 Consists of a steel beam. Like that. Yeah. Yeah. So they were trying to enter or exit when they weren't supposed to. Yeah, but Rising makes it sound like they were trying to do the,
Starting point is 01:44:16 when you try to get out of Victory Park, the thing would come down and it would just barely get you through. It was moving. You're like, oh, fuck. So that's weird. Did they just time it poorly? Was it malfunctioning?
Starting point is 01:44:29 But here's the good news. They're safe. And we just want to wish them the best. Would we even be able to play? If they weren't? I like when they say it. I don't want to find out. What is this verbiage he uses?
Starting point is 01:44:43 They had to evaluate them medically. Yeah. And I was she uses like uh they had to evaluate them medically yeah and i was just wondering if you'd like to evaluate charlotte medically maybe take her in that tent this does say that uh according to the members of the jones family that charlotte may have suffered a rib injury so you may need to check on that didn't she give a rib to you? Or did man give a rib? How did... Who has one more rib? Well, I mean... Isn't that a biblical thing? Adam gave a rib to make Eve. Ribbed.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Ribbed pleasure. That's right. But... That's where that comes from. That's also like a power dynamic thing where in our situation, I'm pretty sure Charlotte would be giving a rib to make me. Like I'm her Eve. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:30 Oh. Also being really into church by force right around the time that the Marilyn Manson took out a rib so he could suck himself off. Rumor was out there. Pretty fertile ground for jokes. You know? You're like, oh, Adam, conveniently.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Could also take care of that. A lot of downtime in the garden. Okay. That's just weird. I have no idea what happened there. However, I do love any mention of Shy, Shy Jr., who is, of course, Spalding. Oh, that's Spalding?
Starting point is 01:46:01 Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I was watching the Mavs game on whatever night it was. Was it Thursday night was Malding? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I was watching the Mavs game on whatever night it was. Was it Thursday night was Mavs? Yes. Yeah, and, you know, there's always one of them there, right next to the scorer's table.
Starting point is 01:46:14 And this one was a non-Spalding, as Jubb calls them. It was like the – Not yodeling kid? I think it – no, wasn't a yodeler, wasn't a Spalding. I think it was a football player. The quarterback, John Stephen, I think. Is he any good or no? Like he's not NFL quarterback good.
Starting point is 01:46:32 No, I think he might be done. Didn't he go to Arkansas or something? He did. I don't know if he still does. Okay. Yeah, we would have heard about it if he was good. He's certainly not in the pro game like Spalding is, who's a scouting assistant.
Starting point is 01:46:47 I didn't realize that. Yeah, for the Baltimore Ravens. Spalding? No, for God's sake. I'm like... He just blew away the front office head coach out there. You're just a natural. No, so he does
Starting point is 01:47:05 have an Instagram. I bought that. Somehow you were like, what? Really? Whoa. I was telling my wife this the other night. I'm like, yeah, there's one of the Jones kids. She's like, that's not Spalding, right? I'm like, no. She said, Spalding just got married.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Why do you know that? I guess somehow friends of friends of friends on instagram and so not only did he just get married um and all the photos are up here he's got a he's got a shy the third on the way already yeah okay her name is that's great his wife is uh tory evans anderson She looks exactly like you think she does. Are you interested now? I remember interacting with him at training camp one year. It was when I was walking around with Computer from 3-6 Mafia
Starting point is 01:47:58 to interview Cowboys, and he's like, hey, Spalding. I don't think Spalding knew his name was Spalding at that time he figured it out yeah and then um spalding ended up i don't know if he ever got him to do it but he was trying to get three six mafia to play at his frat house yes i do recall that and spalding has unlimited funds yeah yeah i um i know that he knows about it because once upon a time I thought, why don't I take a crack at fake characters on the ticket? And then I eventually found out that he found out. That's great. And his mom found out.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Did you just like that post? Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, look, a Cavender twin weighs in. Oh, wow. Okay. Here's what the- Oh, look, a Cavender twin weighs in. Oh, wow, yeah. Looking at his IG right now, here's one where he posted a goofy picture of Charlotte. Happy birthday to the best mother out there. I love you so much.
Starting point is 01:48:56 You mean the world to me. I hope you had a great day. And because of the Joneses, Charlotte had to answer that on Instagram. Did she indicate that the day was indeed great? God bless me in so many ways, but none greater than that of being your mom. Love you to the moon, Beck. These people run my football team. Yeah, I love all his verbiage there too on her involvement in running.
Starting point is 01:49:22 What do they do? Members of the leadership. Members of the leadership council. What do they do besides call Kane Brown and tell him he's doing halftime? Right. Salvation Army. But, hey, there was plenty that took place that didn't happen on a football field during the bye week.
Starting point is 01:49:38 And no game there. We mentioned Dak and the bye week. It was busy. By the way, it rules that clip started that way. And no game there. We mentioned Dak and the bye week, it was busy. By the way, it rules that clip started that way. And no game there. We mentioned that. And the bye week, it was busy. Went golfing and just go golfing.
Starting point is 01:49:50 He got engaged on a green near the golf course to his longtime girlfriend, now fiancee, Sarah Jane. She's the big golfer. And Dak said she had the golf glove on the left hand. She was ready to go play. They even said after they got engaged, are we still playing? All right, hold on.
Starting point is 01:50:08 I'm calling bullshit on all of this. They were on the green. You don't have your golf glove on on the green. And I'm not a golf guy. Come on, golf guy. Yeah, no, you're right. You wouldn't be wearing your glove at that point. No.
Starting point is 01:50:25 But what a funny anecdote, though. Really funny. I hate this. That this is your team? Yes. Get engaged on the golf course. Dak's now into golf because his baby mama's into golf, and they're wearing matching white outfits.
Starting point is 01:50:47 It's just, i hate this yep and he had to tear down his already mansion yeah because she was mad that he was nailing other girls on that couch in bed right dude he loves dude perfect dude perfect stare filming it hey no this is he's trying to be where his feet are this is all just everything he wants his privacy be present everything i hate has infiltrated my football team. This is just a new generation of the same thing, dude. We just fell for the ruse of like, I don't know, maybe they're cool now. We were wrong. Given the way the game turned out, this is kind of funny.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Danny said a slow down there moment from CC. Things are getting down and dirty right now in this football game, and you're seeing some real movement now going along this defensive line. But the Cowboys sort of look like the throwback Cowboys a little bit. All right, you guys want to fight? Let's just line up and fight here. And some of those runs after the catch, as good as I've seen out of the Cowboys this year.
Starting point is 01:51:44 Yeah, I mean, they were in the game in the first half and leading, but at no point was I like, this is the old Cowboys. This is 1994 Cowboys. Yeah, jeez, man. Look at how they're fighting. This is just balls-to-the-wall effort. Is this the Ravens? What do we have here?
Starting point is 01:52:01 Yeah, right, a couple Bosa things here. The first one, the video component is just showing everything. Bosa definitely wants you to look at him, right? I mean, it's evidenced by him bombing Brock Purdy's post-game interview last night with his MAGA hat on. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:19 Like Kittle. Is that big news? Kittle and Purdy were out there. Bosa, like, ran up into the shot, made sure everybody saw his Make America Great Again hat. Okay. But he makes sure the cameras pick up his whole pregame bit. Short of that first half, what were you talking about with that ritual?
Starting point is 01:52:41 So, of course, we're playing around a little bit, right? But watch this. No, I thought you were for real, Chris. Lean on into it. The prey is coming. What's going on here? He's doing his stretches. He's got like this weird thing that he does in pregame.
Starting point is 01:52:58 Oh, this is Bosa. Okay. Make sure that the cameras pick it up. Yeah. He's just like repeating his name over and over. He has this whole thing that he does. So it's his pregame stretching ritual, and they put this music behind it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:14 Because it looks all new agey. One of his teammates who was interviewed around the time of his rookie season, he said, after that period of some practice, I went to him and I was like, dude, what the hell are you saying to yourself when you're down in your stance? He's like, oh, I just motivate myself and I say my name over and over. So he was down in his stance and he's just going, Bosa, Bosa, Bosa. That sounds very Jeter.

And apparently he is full on Derek from Step Brothers. Despite the fact that most actual nutritionists would tell you this is a bad idea, he don't care. Melissa. fact that most actual nutritionists would tell you this is a bad idea he don't care melissa mike as you said nick bosa is all about rituals including his birthday dinner he turned 27 on wednesday so his mom cheryl made him the same meal he's had every year for as long as i he can remember look
Starting point is 01:54:37 how happy he looks meatloaf for jewels which is rolled meat he's not quite sure what's in it it's just a bunch of good stuff. No carbs on that table. Remember, he doesn't eat carbs, so probably not any birthday cake. Impressive stuff. Impressive stuff. Impressive stuff. Meatloaf brajule, like stuffed meatloaf or something. What is it?
Starting point is 01:54:59 Yeah. Looking here, it says melty provolone spinach and prosciutto sort of inside. All right, there's carbs in that. There's carbs in cheese, no? Yeah, maybe they make it without it. Cheese is relatively low carb, though. Is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:14 Melissa Stark. We likey. Do you? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, she's pretty old, too. Maybe it's because Michelle Tafoya is no longer there. I need a new apple of my eye.
Starting point is 01:55:29 Sure. Who did you see on the field this week? I saw you tweeted like this is a double Roseanne. Brian Kelly and Holly Roe. My God. The rare sighting. As someone very cheap. The rare sighting. It's like a... As someone very cheap... The moon crossing the sun.
Starting point is 01:55:48 Someone cheaply and kind of cornily replied to me, but I laughed. This is raising the Roseanne bar. There we go. The Roseanne bar? It really is. But Melissa Stark, nowhere near a Roseanne. It's not even possible.
Starting point is 01:56:03 Like she'll never be a Roseanne? It's impossible. You can project out? Yeah. Oh, 100%. Okay, I'd like to add that to your game as you're looking at celebrities. Yeah, I can start giving a profile. This is a funny Collinsworth moment, but this is just part of calling a game.
Starting point is 01:56:23 You're going to have moments like this. We caught the Cowboys substitute. Don't be stunned if they go for something here, thinking they've been cut out. worth moment, but this is just part of calling a game. You're going to have moments like this. Don't be stunned if they go for something here thinking they can come back. I would have. I'd have thrown that thing deep. Bernie with the sneak so his legs get a couple of runs. It's third and one and he's like,
Starting point is 01:56:41 hey, don't be surprised if they get in that bag of tricks here. And Bernie just falls forward for one. He's like, hey, don't be surprised that they're getting that bag of tricks here. And Purdy just falls forward for one. He's like, well, you know, they could have. Yeah. I like Collinsworth. He's fun. Yeah. He's fun.
Starting point is 01:56:55 Just hide your teen drama class daughter from him. Look, that was a different time. It's a funny laugh. So this is not offensive pass interference. This was correctly picked up. Thanks for the clarification. It was Imani Oruwariye who was the corner over there. Okay.
Starting point is 01:57:14 So I'm going to play the rest because this is the one I was talking about earlier. Okay, he's not buying that that's. Okay, I like that. Yeah. That's why I like it. It was Imani Oruwariye who was the corner over there. Okay. If that's going to be legal from here on out,
Starting point is 01:57:30 we're going to have a lot of people taking acting classes here saying they were pushed into the other guy. I believe you. I definitely believe you. I'm just saying we're going to see a lot of that going forward. At the OJ. Okay. This, because he needed to label it, Danny went with Tirico explains joke,
Starting point is 01:57:55 but that's only because there's not a word for how unfunny this was from Tirico. 49ers bloom and things get better. Okay. Did you catch that? 49ers bloom. Bloom things get better. Okay. Did you catch that? 49ers bloom. Bloom. 49ers bloom, and things get better. So Kyle Shanahan's kind of the gardener.
Starting point is 01:58:15 You want to call him out? You can. That's good. Here's Gurindo pedaling those feet to the 36-yard line. Did you get that one? Did it slip by you? Yeah, it did. Pedaling his feet rose pedals. I didn't see Did you get that one? Did it slip by you? Yeah, it did. Pedaling his feet rose pedals.
Starting point is 01:58:26 I didn't see that. Golly. Get these zingers in. Oh, a zinger. Then he labeled it as a zinger. Oh, I heard fingers. Yeah. Yeah, he does want to get these fingers in.
Starting point is 01:58:39 That's a different deal. So, I mean, I guess College Worth kind of started him down the lame path. Right. And the Gardner, but then Tirico's like... That's the point, though, of the color man. You're the color man. We've talked about this with KB before. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:57 Like, let's stick it. Let's stop it there. Yep. Let Brady work. Let him flail with his bad joke. Right. You give your courtesy laugh and get back to the game. Now you don't have to then show that you're also witty,
Starting point is 01:59:09 especially when you're going to be less witty. And, you know, to speak back to that show I went to on Friday night or Saturday night, if you immediately have to say, did you catch that, like within one second of your line, that doesn't mean that it's because they didn't get it. It that because it just sucked yeah just let it go like 49ers boom or things get better so kyle shanahan's kind of the gardener you want to call matt you can that's good here's gorindo pedaling those feet to the 36 yard line did you get that one that's not good just wait for your one tweet or something, the one guy that says,
Starting point is 01:59:47 hey, I caught your joke. Sure. That's it. Just be happy with that. Speaking of Melissa, she is very solid. I just think she reports great information. Me too. Very solid job.
Starting point is 01:59:57 Yeah, I love football. But everybody has a little stammer every now and then. I love sideline stuff. Melissa has more. Yeah, Ricky Pearsall told me his first thought after knowing he was going to be okay was will I be able to play football again? Then it was all about managing the scar tissue
Starting point is 02:00:11 to make sure he had full range of motion. When he made his NFL debut last year. That's a big... NFL debut. That does kind of... It looked like they were talking about him a ton. But I guess any time he'd make a play, right? They have to refer to the.
Starting point is 02:00:30 Did she say Purcell? I thought Purcell. I thought it was Purcell. Purcell. Yeah, Ricky Purcell told me his. Purcell? Is that not right? Purcell.
Starting point is 02:00:40 Okay. No, I'm probably wrong here. I just thought I heard Purcell a couple times. And he was going to be okay. It was, will I'm probably wrong here. I just thought I heard Purcell a couple times. And he was going to be okay. It was, will I be able to play football again? Then it was all about managing the scar tissue to make sure he had full range of motion. When he made his NFL, excuse me.
Starting point is 02:00:58 NFL. I give her a pass. Sure. She was out there working hard. Now. That's one of the toughest jobs in sports. Yeah, for sure. You guys should kind of bond over that. Her carrying them, you carrying us. There we go.
Starting point is 02:01:17 Yes, there was a lot of – I'm the Melissa Stark of the show. He got shot in the chest going on. It's a big story. But another big story that they definitely had to focus in on was where the world's greatest kicker was during the week. Here's a guy who was, oh, look, he lines it up. There's juror number four. They call him the foreman.
Starting point is 02:01:42 So this was when they, I mean, they made a graphic. Once I saw the graphic, I'm like, this is going to be great. So, yeah, here it is. This look at a unique Cowboys injury report is brought to you by Bud Light. So during the week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, each team puts on a new. God bless it. Pause it. We should have been guessing at what was going to happen here.
Starting point is 02:02:03 And you knew that was going to be the prod value. NBC. Yes. They already have the rights. Yeah, we don't have to pay for this. I knew it. Yeah. This look at a unique Cowboys injury report is brought to you by Bud Light.
Starting point is 02:02:19 So during the week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, each team puts out an injury report. We've never seen one like this this week. Brandon Aubrey, not injury-related, jury duty. He missed practice for jury duty. So on Tuesday, he was selected for a 12-person jury in a felony case in Tarrant County District Court. That's in downtown Fort Worth, about 45 miles from where the Cowboys trade in Frisco, Texas. By the way, the judge trying the case, former football player at North Texas University.
Starting point is 02:02:46 So Aubrey has jury duty. He missed the regular practice Wednesday to Friday. It was very nice of the long snapper and the punter, who's the holder, Brian Anger, to come back after he made the trip from Fort Worth back to Frisco. Got there around 7 o'clock. And those guys hung around so he can get his kicks in on Wednesday and Thursday. So if you have a crazy week, you get a Bud Light sponsorship? Is that how it goes?
Starting point is 02:03:10 I like that. Every week for you. Aubrey's kick. All right. All right. A little commentary on your lifestyle. Listener Russell reported to me on how the Cowboys radio network handled this. And apparently the NFL has, from the years of Homer Call,
Starting point is 02:03:30 things have changed where you can't just go get the radio call whenever you want. Yeah. Why? It's not archived anymore. You can hear it live. Right. Maybe we should start rolling on that. On just the Cowboys?
Starting point is 02:03:41 Yeah. Okay. We can play it. Yeah. Well, so I can't confirm if this is true or not but I have no reason to believe that Russell is a dishonest man he said he called it the most cow Cowboys sideline report ever when Aubrey showed up after jury duty to get some kicks in he couldn't use the indoor Ford Center because it was being used for something else and the outdoor
Starting point is 02:04:02 field doesn't have lights which I can confirm because I was there for my high school reunion in the fields pitch black. So he and his teammates had to practice in the dark. So yes, you can land a helicopter on it if you have to. But if you need to go get a little nighttime work in, you're better off going to like Grapevine Middle. That's great. Which does have lights. That's something we got off going to grapevine middle. That's great. Which does have lights.
Starting point is 02:04:26 That's something we've got to remember to ask him about. If we ever get him on again. Every time he kicked, it was. Juror, Brandon Aubrey, not through the extra power, turns to jury duty next week. Not tomorrow. Of course, not in session tomorrow. He's going to have to rush off the play and head there.
Starting point is 02:04:42 There you go. Lamb in the end zone. Still a game. It's a juror, rush off the play and head there. There you go. Lamb in the end zone. Still a game. It's a juror, juror. Not jury today. No. So, yeah, that might, you know, that's the big story. It's going to impact his appearance on our show again.
Starting point is 02:04:53 It's likely to do so, yeah. And then, Jake, you did seem a little off on Sunday. Yeah. And I think this is why. Here's another rookie, Renardo Green, who joined Mustafa on the hit. 29-yard field goal attempt for Aubrey. No problem with the jury duties. All of his kicks have been good so far.
Starting point is 02:05:13 Dallas has the lead 10-3. Late second quarter here. Music from the Grateful Dead as we remember one of their founding members, Phil Lesch, passed away on Friday. What? Why? What? Why are they doing this?
Starting point is 02:05:30 I'm going to tell you exactly why. Oh. Okay? Why would NBC? What? I don't get it. I thought I jumped in front of you. No, not you.
Starting point is 02:05:36 Okay. Why are they? Here's why. What? Because there are... Like when you had to interrupt us to tell us that... ZZ Top guys. Dusty Hill or... Like, you had to interrupt us to tell us that... ZZ Top guys... Dusty Hill or...
Starting point is 02:05:47 Like, where does that fit here? Oh, San Francisco, maybe? Yeah. Yeah. But that's not the only reason. Here's a big one. If you are in sports media... And the last guy I would think would care about the Grateful Dead is effing Mike Tirico.
Starting point is 02:06:03 But go ahead. That was racist. But if you... Look at him. Listen go ahead. That was racist. But if you – Look at him. Listen to him. Well, here's the thing. If you are like a legacy media member of that generation in particular, you went to Syracuse, Northwestern, Mizzou, whatever, you have two choices.
Starting point is 02:06:21 Some people choose both, but you pretty much have two choices. Springsteen or the dead. You just don't – you have two choices. Some people choose both, but you pretty much have two choices. Springsteen or the dead. You just don't. You have to. You've got to be into one or the other. Really? Yeah. Notice what happens
Starting point is 02:06:34 like when the boss played the weekend of like the Super Bowl or something. I mean, that's like, that's sports writer heaven. Now, if you're from a slightly younger generation, you have to be into Isbell. You have no choice but to tell everyone how great Jason Isbell is.
Starting point is 02:06:53 You yourself probably a former drunk. He now sober, so that's kind of, you know. Oh, is that right? Oh, dude, he was within days of death. Do you know all those people now? No, I mean. Do they tell you know all those people now? No, I mean – Do they tell you that when you're there? No.
Starting point is 02:07:08 They're like, man, you know, Bam Margera is getting it together. Is that your – Yeah. Your filet? Come on. Yeah, basically, yeah. It's mine. Anyways, yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:21 That's audio from the game. Shout out to Chris and company. Hey to Shai Anderson. Congrats on the kid. Sex. That's right, yeah. Sex is sweet. News today is going to be brought to us by
Starting point is 02:07:36 Frankel and Frankel. We should mention that. Frankel and Frankel. We're pro Frankel and Frankel. Well, how about you? They've seen juries before. Not afraid of them. No.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Not afraid of them. Yeah, I wish I had the, I wouldn't be able to play the theme because we don't have the rights to that, especially here if we're doing this on DZTV ever. Anyway, Frankel and Frankel, personal injury attorneys, the message they want you to know if you do get in an accident, call Frankel and Frankel. The insurance companies will try to take advantage of you.
Starting point is 02:08:12 Frankel will, I'm getting a little Melissa Stark there, will fight for your rights. Well, it's a heavy topic. And your rights to party. That's right. It's a heavy topic. You know, car accidents are not fun. No. It's a stressful time.
Starting point is 02:08:25 But the Frankles can make it less stressful for you as evidenced by the fact that they got the easiest phone number in recorded human history at 214-817. And then, yep, there's a three. There's a three. That's three of them. Four more. That's right. Last one. Yep.
Starting point is 02:08:41 All right. Just keep going. Hello. I'm not a janitor. No. I'm Gene Burkett. This is my friend Mark, and he's Scott. How tall are you?
Starting point is 02:08:49 Wait, you got three guys on the line right away when I call? Yeah. That's idiotic. Well, they said there'd be at least a partner. They didn't say there was a cap on the number of partners you might get in contact with. Okay. They put all that together, and that's how they have 100 years of combined experience. Yeah, so call Frankel if indeed you get in a car wreck.
Starting point is 02:09:08 Oh, my God. Call Frankel. That's not going to happen to you. That seemed like an over-the-top car wreck, to tell you the truth. I'm not sure that that's's actually a but the point is an actual clip they'll help you no matter what yeah here's james they're for you the people that's right all right let's flip over to our news page here oh this is fun when we do these stories quite often. Dude, I love fun. Well, then, hold on to your butts.
Starting point is 02:09:49 What are you looking at? Just a piece of paper to see if I... Why do you look at me? Oh, I'm commanding your attention right now. I just wanted to see if I needed that. I don't. As a huge player of the game Twisted Metal growing up... What is that? It was a game.
Starting point is 02:10:08 It was a car game. You're not even a game guy. Oh, back in the day, bro, everybody was a game guy. Yeah, we liked a lot of... Like video games were almost like my baseball was for you. It's just what we did. You're really into it? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:23 Now you don't care at all? I don't care at all. Exactly. Okay. And I'm like, when I see people engaging people engaging with it i'm like what a waste of your time yeah i yeah i used to spend all every night yeah four hours a night watching interestingly enough much like with a lot of kids and uh i think in soccer now maybe maybe even like adults i was really into baseball video games, which made me like baseball more. Like in the summer, we would play a full 162 every 10 days. I was a kid.
Starting point is 02:10:52 I played board games. Yeah. A baseball, like Stratomatic Baseball or something for a whole year. Just sit in a 100-degree garage. And then watch video games. I was like, oh, yeah, this is even better. Yeah. So I played a lot of games. Twisted Metal was a PlayStation game that was like oh yeah this is even better yeah so i played a lot of games twisted
Starting point is 02:11:05 metal was a playstation game that was like a car battle game it was a genre that you kind of you you fight your friends with a car so you could be like an ice cream truck that had rockets uh you're into this yeah it was kind of a battle royale. Last man standing. Each car had different abilities and weapons. Maybe one's faster. I think there was an 18-wheeler, a hearse. Yeah, but the ice cream truck with the clown head on top was great. Sweet Tooth?
Starting point is 02:11:38 I think so. Oh, no, I know so. Okay. Let's see. This is in Oak Cliff Friday night. A Dallas Fire Rescue ambulance was found after it had been crashed. It was stolen. Medics responded to a call on Bonney View around 8 o'clock at night. 15 minutes later, they found the crashed ambulance at a nearby apartment complex.
Starting point is 02:12:00 And I gotta be honest. When I see an ambulance with, like, the lights on but the siren off, and you're walking by it and there's no one in it, there's at least a little tingle of like, why not? Yeah. That'll be the best 10 minutes of your life. You're never going to know what that that feeling is like like in the range of human experiences that your brain is capable of producing there's so much in there you'll never know about you'll probably never know what it's like right before you're attacked by an actual predator right uh on down the line of things that in our little comfortable window we have here you'll never experience. You think it's cool whenever your triple play
Starting point is 02:12:45 hits. You know what I mean? Like, that's a big juice for you. If you steal an ambulance and just joyride it for 10-15 minutes... I would think stealing any car, but yes. That's up it by... And, in this case,
Starting point is 02:13:02 no arrests have been announced. So he got away with it. Wrecked it and dipped. Pretty awesome. Yeah, they got away with that, huh? So they got away with that, huh? That's a good series. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't my idea.
Starting point is 02:13:19 I got to credit TC, but there's a lot of them that you don't think about. There was a TC texting me during the game, and I didn... There's a lot of them that you don't think about. There was a... TC texted me during the game and I didn't see it until after. Because we were talking about hottest politicians. Mm-hmm. Who did he have? Since you're a political guy.
Starting point is 02:13:38 Hey. Hello, is he on the boys? It's political guy. Political man. Where the hell is TC's political guy. Political man. Where the hell is TCO? Here he is. Have you ever heard of Anna Paulina Luna? Yeah, she's hot right now.
Starting point is 02:13:55 I think she's a governor maybe. Oh, rep. He says hottest congressman. She's also like a Nazi. Like legitimately will post Nazi stuff. If I'm thinking of the right person. Yeah, so that compared to AOC. Dan Leike.
Starting point is 02:14:20 I'm a big AOC fan. Yeah, for sure. I like her. It'd be tough to top her. She'd top me, though. What? You heard me. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this lady's the racist.
Starting point is 02:14:34 Hey, what are you going to do? Her. Let's see here. Yeah, so this is on a couple of our local news sites. There was in Van Alstyne, Mike Marshall, there was a house explosion middle of the night two dead.
Starting point is 02:14:56 Do you fear that? Yes, dude. Cass? Yeah. I guess there's nothing you can do. That's the thing. Do you fear it? Maybe you more because you live in like an old old neighborhood and they put those in before like regulations oh yeah whatever not only they put them in before regulations i like when um when we started this remodel the guy was kind of not really kidding when he's like it was not safe for you guys to live here.
Starting point is 02:15:26 Because only one family had owned the home ever since it was built in the 50s. And so they were just DIYing on top of DIYing. We'll duct tape this. Yeah, so nothing fit. And there was so many things. He's like, I'm not really sure how any of this passed inspection. and like there was so many things he's like I'm not really sure how any of this passed inspection
Starting point is 02:15:44 so that's kind of a way you're like alright let's absorb the cost of this by saying probably if we tried to sell this house it would be a problem but it wasn't a problem when we bought it so I don't know but yes this was yeah there were
Starting point is 02:16:01 one side says one the other says two fatalities middle of the night, dude. I'd rather have a chance against a fire. Yeah, like an instant explosion. I guess my only thinking there is that... You'd rather die in the explosion than fire. Yeah, but that's probably not how it happens. You know what?
Starting point is 02:16:24 But if you had to die from, like, hey, explosion, roof falls on you or something, maybe you suffer for a second or two, but you're just dead, or you get the chance to get out, but if you don't get out, you're burning to death. That's the downside. And then if you do live? If I needed to explain to you the death. Yeah. Yeah, if you do live,
Starting point is 02:16:46 your house is gone either way. I think having a second floor bedroom, that'd be a bad bit for me with the fire, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think it would be or the den, you know, like now. You can always jump out
Starting point is 02:17:04 onto the little shed over here. I've already mapped that out. Put up a little exit sign. I think our kid might have, when we had kids living in the house, they had like a fire ladder in their room. Oh, I always, always wanted that. But now that I'm thinking about it, we might have just talked about it. Because wouldn't I know where that is?
Starting point is 02:17:29 I haven't really ever. I can't recollect seeing it. I am fuzzy on the details. But in Clarissa Explains It All, there was a ladder outside her window. Sam. No, Sam was her boyfriend maybe. Explain what you just said. I don't know what those words you put together mean.
Starting point is 02:17:55 Nobody else? Yeah, I think he's too young. Y'all are too old. Is this a movie? No, it was a show on Nick. Clarissa Expl it all? And it was Melissa Joan Hart, who for a long time I was really stoked on. And I'm pretty sure she's really into vaccines or something, or who am I thinking of?
Starting point is 02:18:18 Into vaccines or against them? If you're known for something about vaccines it's probably that you hate them right no then it wasn't her no one's like man i'm who am i thinking of yeah so she was kind of like uh i don't know a teenager addresses the audience directly to explain the things that are happening in her life. Yeah. Dealing with typical adolescent concerns such as school, boys, pimples, wearing her first training bra. Killed a sock to that one. The training bra one? I'm sure.
Starting point is 02:18:54 And taking it up the rear. Oh, wait. No, no, no. It says an annoying younger brother. Oh. I don't know. I don't think those are the same episode. Up the rear.
Starting point is 02:19:01 Annoying younger brother. Oh. I don't know. I misread that. I don't think those were the same episode. Up the rear. Anyways, she would have people in her window. And it would be like her friend who was a boy. And he would come up there and play guitar.
Starting point is 02:19:20 And I always thought that would be dope. If I could just have a friend drop by. Climb up the The ladder to the window Yeah Okay I jumped out of My bedroom window
Starting point is 02:19:31 Once my parents moved We moved into A two story house I jumped out of it One time That's higher than you think No I think it's really high
Starting point is 02:19:39 You could You're fine No way Yeah Yeah you know Do you have to like do the roll Okay It's not so much
Starting point is 02:19:47 Probably like rob skydiving Here's the thing When you land Don't you gotta learn how to land Saying jump is wrong What it is is You hang yourself over it And then you
Starting point is 02:19:55 You hold it And see like Alright well let's eliminate Six foot three plus my Yeah Now it's not that crazy Now if you're standing on a wall That that's height
Starting point is 02:20:04 Yeah Yeah It's like Still though It's not great crazy of a drop. Now if you're standing on a wall, that's height. Yeah. Still, though. It's not great. You fall into bushes. Omar did it. That's the one thing about that show.
Starting point is 02:20:15 That seems too fake. Because when I go after Breaking Bad, I'm like, well, it kind of turned into a Bruckheimer, Michael Bay production. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By season five. But then Omar's just gone. Yeah, and The Wired really never did that, except all of a sudden Omar's like Spider-Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By like season five. But then Omar's like just gone. Yeah, and The Wire really never did that except all of a sudden Omar's like Spider-Man. Yeah, he was mythical.
Starting point is 02:20:32 So, anyway. You're right. The Wire sucked. No idea what we were talking about. Oh, yeah. This Van Alstyne house. Go back further. Two dead and Van Alstyne. Their house exploded, Dan. Oh, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:46 Yeah. And then our final story here, a man just 18 years old, Angel Rendon, is not the top shortstop prospect in the Philly system. Certainly sounds like it. That's a good name. He is a man from Haltom City who is facing 10 years for selling something called Glock switches. Video man, do you know what this is? I thought you had some guns.
Starting point is 02:21:14 You're not gun guy? I've never thought he was gun guy. All right. Well, you heard it here first, folks. Video man. But among all of it. He's not packing. First, folks, Video Man... But among all of it.
Starting point is 02:21:23 He's not packing. He was selling Glock switches, which are devices that can allow pistols to mimic machine guns. To mimic them? Yeah. That's the sincerest form of flattery. Do they say mimic or do they say impression

Starting point is 02:27:01 the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France was dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. Who has a Kemp's been? When he was just 18 years old, maybe 19, maybe even older than that, he went to the nursery and met his future wife while she was still in the hospital. And to make matters worse, that was... I thought he was older than that. Yeah, you're right. Well older, right?
Starting point is 02:27:29 He was like... 30-something. Yeah, it was like friends... 28. Yeah. But it was his... Like family friends had a baby. One of his very good friends.
Starting point is 02:27:37 And he held that baby. And he's like, I'm going to have sex with you. He ended up having sex with the baby, but he did wait like a good 28 or so years. Honestly, I think that a lot of people have said that's why he was able to become president is because people are like, what restraint? He didn't go out. Right. He didn't.
Starting point is 02:27:54 He didn't. She was well after 18, too. Yeah, yeah. Like she was like in her 20s. Yeah. Mid 20s. She was in her 20s. Mid-20s.

Starting point is 02:29:33 Do we ever refer to it as Meta? No. Or X. You know, I'm re-watching, because I never watched the final season, I think, and my wife had never seen any of it before. Silicon Valley. Yeah. And it's awesome.
Starting point is 02:29:47 It's so fun. I know somebody who just did that. Maybe it's me. It might have been you. Today's celebrity birthdays include the current San Francisco Giants manager. He moved across the bay. So he was the Oakland manager before. That's how I remember.
Starting point is 02:30:11 I can't believe he's going to get it. He got half of it. I don't know. And baseball guy over here has no clue. I'm just waiting for him to figure it out. Bob Melvin.

Just guys that weren't really fast or did a lot of jukes. They just kind of got what was there. Plowed ahead for 1,900 yards a year? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:19 For like four years and then... It was a big controversy that he went in the hall of fame call us yeah he he was removed from an airplane this summer oh yeah yeah you don't want that but can you imagine your day here's the thing the follow-up is the flight attendant involved in an incident that led to td's removal from a united airlines plane in handcuffs, quote, is no longer employed.

Starting point is 02:31:52 So who's the big winner in the long run? Actress Gwendolyn Christie is 47. I like that name. Look her up. She's 6'3". Oh, Breanne.
Starting point is 02:32:13 Oh, Breanne of Tarth. The big woman is the big woman here. Yeah. Caitlyn Jenner is 75. I would let her absolutely suplex me. Caitlyn Jenner is 75. I would let her absolutely suplex me. Caitlyn Jenner is not only courageous. Yeah. Also a curious case for the far right.
Starting point is 02:32:33 Yeah. Because we hate... What do we hate? Trans. Women are women. Men are men. But Caitlyn Jenner is really on board with all the other stuff. And really trans.
Starting point is 02:32:51 And like, hey, women can't play. Men can't play women's sports. Caitlyn Jenner plays from the Red Tees. Yeah, she does. Drives the green. Confirmed by my brother. So she's there just dominating on the golf course.
Starting point is 02:33:08 I put a picture in there for you, Rob, because I was searching Caitlyn Jenner in my computer today, and there was a story about from years ago, Dodie's Place, Cajun Bar, and Grillin' Allen. Do you remember this?
Starting point is 02:33:24 Yeah, I guess kind of. That place is good. You been there? There's one in Greenville, I'm pretty sure, on Greenville. There's one in Dallas. Well, they made their bathrooms. Like when Caitlyn Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, they put a full-size picture of Caitlyn Jenner on the women's
Starting point is 02:33:41 and Bruce Jenner on the men's. And then this caused a big news story like I don't know if anybody was upset I think it's a great bit I think every restaurant should do this like when one of our friends bars showed up in Bill Burr's special what was that?
Starting point is 02:33:57 they had a sign outside that said I like my beers like my violence domestic which is a great joke. It just is. They got in trouble for it. That's not the only thing. Caitlyn Jenner,
Starting point is 02:34:14 Olympian great, great golfer, also killed somebody with her car. That's right. After becoming Caitlyn, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, right. Women can'tlyn, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, right. Women can't drive.
Starting point is 02:34:28 Bill Gates, 69. Thanks a lot for COVID. Didn't he put a chip in us? Yep. He's also a diddler. So he knows where we are? Actually, we probably can't say that. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:34:41 Why? He owns the internet, which is pretty much... Well, he might diddle 42-year-old ladies. You just said he's a diddler, right? Yeah. You're covered, bro.
Starting point is 02:34:54 His Kim Spinn's pretty great. His wife gave him a week away every year to the Carolina coast to spin with his college girlfriend. Yep, that's true. And if you remember, that would be so great. Just one week into a year. I would let her do it too. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 02:35:09 She can go get railed. You... You would love your wife more when you got back. Yeah. And vice versa. I could see why I wasn't with her. I mean, it took four days of constant sex.
Starting point is 02:35:27 You know what's funny? She didn't leave him until the Epstein stuff really started getting hot. His wife, Melinda. Jamie Girtz is 59, actress in Less Than Zero. Do you mind if I play you this Bill Gates Epstein thing? Of course not. What do I got to do? It's from right after Epstein died.
Starting point is 02:35:51 And I don't have this edited down. I also want to ask you about something else. In the public arena, it was reported at that time that you had a number of... Well, you know, I've said I regretted having those dinners and there's nothing absolutely nothing new on that is there a lesson for you for
Starting point is 02:36:12 anyone else looking at this well he's dead so in general you always have to be careful I just remember I was really thinking it's funny that like Bill Gates clearly got Epstein killed. And they're like, what did you learn from this? And he's like, well, he's dead.
Starting point is 02:36:30 So what did he learn? Yeah, I feel like if there was a lesson, it's don't fuck around with Bill Gates. Well, he's dead. Andy Richter is 58. Oh, Stanley Cup champion. No way. Who am I thinking of? Yeah, I don't know what you're saying.
Starting point is 02:36:50 Mike Richter? Yeah, I was a big fan of that Rangers team in the 90s. Not Conan's sidekick. He had a TV show that wasn't bad. Did he? He was a little out there wasn't bad. Did he? He was a little out there, though. Like, he left Conan, remember, for a while? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:37:09 It was like on Fox. The Richter scale. I just confused the name. That's not what the TV show was called. Is that what you were going for? Yeah. Weeknights at Fox. You can play the music again.
Starting point is 02:37:32 It's not good. Julia Roberts is 57. Just never, ever found her attractive. Come on. Big Muppet face. Muppet, but like if they made a Muppet, like a primate Muppet. Interesting. A monkey Muppet face. Muppet, but like if they made a Muppet, like a primate Muppet. Interesting.

Starting point is 02:38:00 Didn't he solve racism with LL Cool J? Is that what they said? I think so. They did like a song where it's like, don't look at me weird because I'm black. And he's like, don't look at me weird because I'm white. Really? I swear there was something like that.
Starting point is 02:38:17 I think it was like during George Floyd or something. Oh, that's so great. I don't know. With who? Oh, LL Cool J? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. You know, something. Joaquin Phoenix is 50's so great. I don't know. With who? Oh, L. Cool J? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. You know, something. Joaquin Phoenix is 50.

Starting point is 02:38:58 Yeah, her. I thought that movie sucked, actually. It's a wonderful film about human emotion. Probably not. Probably not for you. I forgot how emotional you are. Yeah. This is a real standoff here.
Starting point is 02:39:17 Guys with less feelings. I think you have more feelings, though. Because you have admitted you will morph into whoever you're hanging out with. Yeah. So if you're with a couple of people that are crying you'll be crying too. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:29 And I'll be going what are you doing? You call me the F word. I'll do that anyway. And Greg Paul is 60. The dad? He's the dad of

Starting point is 02:40:17 Oh. Who, on one hand, yes, some crowds would love to chant his name. On the other hand, he was hated by Marvin Miller. He's a clown, according to Marvin Miller. Charlie Daniels, who had a band, and James Miller, who's known as the Fan Man. Yeah. Is that the guy who would parachute in like Rob? Yeah, I think so.

Who played him in the show? Wasn't it something... I remember it being like a great cameo. I don't remember.

Starting point is 02:41:22 I watched like a couple episodes. It was legitimately not bad. But I will follow up on my please watch the Aaron Hernandez shows. And I'll finish it if you do. Okay, I'll start watching it. It's so insane. Danny's into it. It's literally like if Maxim Magazine were a TV show. How many episodes?
Starting point is 02:41:41 I think they might have done seven or eight. Oh, okay. I can pull that off. How many episodes? I think they might have done seven or eight. Oh, okay. I can pull that off. Red Auerbach, though, I remember growing up,
Starting point is 02:41:52 and you just heard about the Celtics, and they were in the champ. They were 1-10 in a row, something like that. They were in it every year. And then Red Auerbach, you know what? His great thing he would do is light up the victory cigar. When he was sure a game was in hand, like in the building on the sideline, he would light up his cigar. And as you grow up, you realize, what a dick move.
Starting point is 02:42:14 That's really, it's cocky. First of all, and they kind of owned the NBA. There's four teams, right? And they had all the players. It wasn't that great. I don't know. Just seemed like Red Auerbach could be overrated. Okay.
