Oh, really? You were all jealous that he got this sandwich. Well, I just, a lot of people are on Twitter, we're saying Katz Deli is the bomb.

It's a tourist, not it's a good restaurant, but it's a tourist trap. It's a say you went there type thing. I don't want to say it's bad because it's probably fantastic, but when we get it mass produced like that, it's white bread and like 15 pieces of pastrami. It was a lot. I just, I just ate or I just played a game. My stomach's already kind of in shambles. So I'm trying to put that down.

I think I'd been on the bathroom toilet the whole way home and not gotten to enjoy my first class seat for once. I was going to ask about that. Tell us about the plane. What happened in the plane? Apparently, when we win, the players kicked the coaches out of first class. So I got to bump up into 2J and got a full reclining chair. And it was nice.

Got a nice blanket and fully like went vertical and, or no, horizontal. I know my directions, horizontal, and tried to take an app. Didn't work, but I tried. That's the shoddy difference right there. Yeah. Yeah, I was looking for you in your normal seat and I didn't see you, and I look back in first class, I see Trent to the very front of the plane. I was like, oh, our special team's buddy's got first class on the way back.

I was happy for you. But Whitecock was in the seat, scrunched in, all the coaches. I don't know. So you say apparently, is that just never been, that way? wasn't the case pre-shoddy? No, it was not. When or lost, we got the same seats on the way home.

So this is, this is a nice. This is a pleasant surprise for me. Other teams have done that in the past. I never, obviously, being only on the Cowboys, wouldn't have known that. So this was an exciting surprise for me. Okay.

Well, McCarthy's a big, McCarthy can't go into the tiny receipt, right? You'll make you more. It's a big old boy. We used to always picture like Jerry riding McCarthy Because every time Jerry would talk about McCarthy He would just say he's a big old boy Like he loves the size of Michael McCarthy

Slap him on the back He's sturdy Yeah, he can't push this thing over Which lets you know how much he loves Shottie, right? You're right, to hire a scholar You're not chicken fighting on the pool on top of Shottie No, no, he's hiring him just for his football knowledge right we'll take it yeah i have a question about first class does the wifi work up there or

i swear to god are you complaining about the cowboys wife i'm asking my friend to quit did the wifi work for you wifi does not work i think it's a triple seven issue not a cowboy's charter issue i'm just asking i'm asking can we place some works on the other american airlines planes but it seems like after complaining about that to my wife she says that's an issue with a triple seven okay all right now i know I was trying to watch the afternoon games. I was trying to watch Baker in Seattle. Same.

Kept buffering. How about Baker, bros? You guys see that? I know, I doubt them. Tell someone who cares. Why would you doubt, why would you doubt Baker Mayfield? Because I'm a cowboy, man. He and Dak Prescott right up there in MVP chances this year.

Yeah. It might come right down to that. Your thoughts on the Super Bowl halftime show? I don't have any. Hopefully I can watch it in person as I'm trying to kick over it. Okay. Heck yeah. That's right.

And then I had this from last week because we were talking about something. I jotted this down, but I don't remember how this came up. But we're talking about Jerry's helicopter. Oh, maybe it was because you were talking about traveling to the home game. And you drive yourself and how tough it is, all the traffic and the parking and getting out of there. And Jerry flies a helicopter to the, have you ever been on that? No, I have not. No way.

I've never been on a helicopter in general. Really? Your wife? Um, not that I'm aware of. I don't think so. Sheath says they're flying death traps. That's what I'm getting at. I feel like the airplane person is like, yo, you don't want to get on the helicopter.

No recovering if that thing's, uh, there's like a couple parts in there, um, some bolt if it fails, you're just dead. Uh, which on a plane, they're really, you can glide, whereas case. scenario if you lose both your engines. I did it once as a child, once as an adult, but I will not do it post-children. We have a listener who survived a helicopter crash. That's incredible.

It's true in Hawaii. Yeah. Have you ever been in a plane that Jen is flying? By the way, you're the biggest idiot in the world if you think Jerry's putting him or anybody that he pays on a helicopter. But Jerry's on it. And if Jerry dies the bloodline goes on. You can ever be on.

Maybe, but I need to hit from 64. You can sway traffic. I'll bet Dax been on it. No chance. Find out. Can you find that out for us? I feel like, I don't know. But you're right.

They put stuff in their contracts where they can't, like, go skiing. Yeah. Can you skiing? I mean, it's not explicitly in my contract, but if I get injured off the field and it's not a football-related activity, then I'm going to lose all of my guaranteed money, which I don't have any anyways, so. So rip it up, had to hit the slopes.

That's right. You're still on the original contract you signed out of, like, the USFL, right? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, so that's not a lot of negotiating power on that. Kick by kick, brick by brick. Yep, yep. And it's no guarantee, so if they cut you week seven, you're not owed anything.

you've played out however long you've played on that contract and that's what you got paid and jake's here asking you about what are you going to do when you're 38 like he's just trying to get to listen we got Carolina this week he said I met Nick Folk I'd like to still be kicking at 40 yeah right that is a that is a dream I asked you guys you guys are jerks I don't think we're jerks at all well this has been a lot of fun Brandon and we wish you the best of luck we're really enjoying ourselves real quick did you guys see the the vikings kicker is he the one that hit the wire yeah yes um and i was unaware until uh our buddy sod yusuf from the athletic reported when was it aziraku or fowler when fowler swatted that ball that hit the sky

he didn't swat that point hit it right in the head that it should have been a dead a dead ball what did they rule it in the minnesota case just no good yeah they did not show a replay in the broadcast as if they didn't want people to see what had happened i guess but i don't know how you miss that because that thing's going dead center perfect rotation and all of a sudden it bounces like almost 90 degrees to the right yeah um goes to the x flight and it looked like it got blocked by an 800 pound i don't even know like it just completely changed trajectory somebody should have caught that i feel terrible for him obviously that ruins his perfect season which i mean it's week five but still he's got a shot at it so i i feel terrible

terrible for him did you review that um no you can't review it which is an issue but somebody i mean maybe you can review it because i remember brian had a punt hit the um the scoreboard at at t and t and they tried to, and Brian told the refs, they tried to review it, but they couldn't because there was no camera pointed up there. This was very clear because the camera angle was showing the ball flight the whole way, and seen it in replay like four or five times, and it's very obvious what happened. So it should be, like you said, dead ball, restart, rerun the play. I believe you can review it because Saad was saying they could have challenged that.

Okay. That, what's not Adam Gase? Kevin O'Connell? No. We're talking about it in New York. I'm not talking about the Jets. The Jets had not, they could have challenged that. It should have counted.

So maybe with O'Connell, you don't, but I don't know how you need a good view. Like, you know what happened. Yeah. That's right. The kicker should be the one to come off and tell them right away. If nothing else, here's the positive spin on this. This means something will be done about this, and it wasn't you that had to get screwed for, to figure it out.

Because they will be looking for this more. or now the officials will know about it uh you know somebody's got to be the awareness sacrificial that's right and raising awareness bangers punts hit the the cord all the time in warm-ups but that's understandable because the cameras are low trying to get facial shots of players warm up on the field that camera has no business being down there in in front of a field goal rep like that like that especially in the close i mean not especially in close game they shouldn't be there it's Ridiculous. All right, we're going to just clip this part at the NFL and put him on notice.

You're listening, Roger? Hey, did you wish Bangor a happy birthday? Of course. He did. On the gram, at least. Did you need? I appreciate you guys making sure. Did you guys?

Forget. That's an important one for me, but I had already talked to him about it. Okay, because, yeah, these guys are up my, my backside yesterday to make sure that I actually texted you that. So I did. You did. I did. You told me to.

Now you're laughing at me. You can't do that. You can't demand that I tell Brandon because he would be upset if I didn't and then laugh at me on the Brandon Aubrey show. These guys suck. Brought to you by community mechanical, by the way. These guys suck and you know it. Don't put him in that spot. Bye, Brandon.

Bye. I appreciate you all. Thank you. Hey, have a great day. Thanks. See in Carolina. There's Brandon Aubrey. Oh, you know what?

I should have given him my parenting. advice for the day. Why do we tell kids when it's their birthday if they've already had their birthday party or if their birthday party's not that day? You just want them to know what their birthday is? But what is he going to do with that info? When is your son, your son's birthday was not this weekend? It's today.

Oh. And this morning, Kristen's like, happy birthday. And he's like, what? Really? He's like, what are we doing? He's like, we go to school in half an hour. Yeah. And he's pissed the rest of the day.

Yeah. He's got a point. Like, what do we... Yeah, he's right. What are we doing? All right. What we're doing is lots of content today. We move from the Brandon Aubrey show to Blake's.

It's that time of the month. It's time for the dumb zone's monthly business review. And now the king of all note takers, here's Blake Jones. You know, I'd like to say, too, this is not a fish a fish yet but we're working on to deal with kane roso and part of that is that they are going to sponsor the monthly business review so we thank j jerry are over there and the greatness of kane roso so stop by get some pizza i don't know what else could happen i don't know if you want to mention the dumb zone they'll probably give you something at some point but between the tray at wab like if you told me 10 years ago you might have a deal with conne roso Yeah.

They're going to be hooking us up with food for the watching parties. You want to quit your cowboy job now? Our Wi-Fi works here, too. Best pizza and DFW, and they got you covered whatever you're looking for. But yeah, like I said, it's not official, but... Zoli, Steverd-Bard, Connie. Hit it up. I was just going to say, pursuant to that open,

remind me guys to tell you I learned a lot about how girls are getting their period, much earlier now over the weekend to think how would he do that right at the beginning like drop that bomb in here but don't talk about it now the open says like it's the first of the month it's that time of the month

well it's that time of the month earlier and earlier more on that Thursday Ant Flo that's right okay anyway yeah monthly business review fast forward through all the resets I go back through last month's

Just to see if there's anything I needed to hold over for the next one. And I wanted to read this note from August 26 because we really need to hold Jake to this. Because Kristen did such a good job throwing his 40th birthday that Jake has to do something nice for her on her 40th coming up. I mean, I would if I was her husband. She's an angel, and I'd treat every day like it was a great. Well, we have a while. So give me a couple years. Oh, you got a couple years?

Yeah, two and a half years. Were we robbing the cradle over there? We got a Jordan Hudson stitch. All right, let's start with bad bits. The first on September 9th, letting the news interview your kid after they got hit by a car. Very curious decision. I think it was WFAA, but the kid's face was all effed up. He was sad, you know.

And he didn't have much to say. No, no. Yeah, I got hit my car. Boy, I have a similar bad bit involving a kid, but I'll save that for later in the show. I think you need to be very careful about letting your kid be interviewed, period. The punctuation. The other bad bit was from the first Cowboys game. When the Irving Police Department tweeted about Jalen Carter spitting on deck.

They put out like the penal code violation. Yeah. Oh, my God. Love it. All right, let's do the time capsule. Got a chappy one here about Caleb Williams. But you said to mark this one. This is from September 23rd.

Shottie says they won't end the season at negative five in the turnover margin. Boy. He better be happy he's got Dak because... Where are they right now? It can't be much better. They got a little better this week, right? They got one back. Yeah.

So, good, but it's something we're monitoring. Well, what we're doing is where, if you guys want to keep your fingers on the pulse of Cowboy Optimum, it's all about overshone now. Just hold on. Yeah.

Just hold on to the guy with six career games under his belt comes back and really wrecks this. People like this. Let's do this. KempSpins. 559 total reminder about Kimspin.com. Wow.

Where you can take a random spin on the Kimspin wheel. This month, let's do this. Marshall Henderson for a Kimspin. Yeah, I think that you could do more than one. But the big one is when he was a national celebrity for his March Madness run, he tweeted the F slur and a bunch of anti-gay stuff around. the time that Michael Sam got drafted and then

he deleted all of it the next day it was like hey my buddy's doing a research paper we were just gauging how people would respond to me being homophobic and I thought that was one of the greatest excuses ever. It's for academia dudes

and you all played right into my research John McAfee I mean I don't even I think you played audio last time. Yeah, it's, if you, you need to watch the John McAfee documentary on Netflix. It sounds like I don't.

No, dude, it's, it's not long. It might be one, one episode. It's very, very good. But when he lived in Belize and Ambergase K, he was kind of a little, like, running a fiefdom, where he had money and no one else did, and he was paying a bunch of women and a bunch of security guards. And his kink was he would have a woman lie in a hammock. he would lie underneath it, he would cut a hole in the hammock, and then they would soft serve to him through the hole in the hammock into his mouth.

Anyways. But smart guy. And I actually heard, like, a family member, Kristen's aunt or something, was talking about some McAfee, like, antivirus protection thing the other day because she works in software. And I was like, I interviewed that guy. And I don't think anyone believed me. But that may be because they don't seem to notice I exist.

One more, Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas got cancer of the mouth in the most, I don't know, valorous, valorous way possible by eating Catherine Zeta Jones's pussy vigorously. We don't know that it was vigorously. Well, you think he got cancer by hanging around the outside of the fire? I don't know how that stuff spreads. Dude, you spread by doing an insertion operation with your best boys and kicking down doors down there. That's how you can answer.

That's awesome. Awesome. Yeah, okay. Jake has a buddy. I feel like I say this every month, but it was a big month for Jake has a buddy. You guys just don't have friends. Your buddies just do way more than mine, I guess. I can't read all these.

Try. Jake has a buddy who is a Marine and a lifelong friend who Jake doesn't need to talk to. Why would that make this fucking list? It's so stupid. He just told him to read them all. It's just a sentence.
