But, if you'd like to subscribe at dumbzone.com, you'll get four shows per week, plus the weekend wrap-up and any bonus sodes like our Business Wednesday interviews. So, if you forgot how to use the 15-second rewind, that's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now, on to today's program. The Dumb Zone. Hey there. It's your friends at the Dumb Zone. Take two.

Start with hey there. No, don't take two that. That's like take three. Hey there. It's your friends at the Dumb Zone. Come see us this Saturday at Globe Life Field for the Baylor, Scott, and White Cover Your Bases event. This is a men's wellness event with Baylor, Scott, and White. We'll be there from 9 to noon.

And it is at the ballpark, so you can go out on the field, run around. It's at the ballpark, so you can stay ahead of life's curveballs. That's right. You can come out there. There's a variety of free health screenings. You can knock those all out of the park. We're going to do a show. We are going to do a show. A can come out there. There's a variety of free health screenings. You can knock those all out of the park. We're going to do a show. We are going to do a show.

A pop-up show. And we might get Jake to actually throw off a mound. I will throw off the mound. With a radar gun. Really? That's right. And so will Blake, who promised 75 plus. No. You said you could hit 70.

Yes. Don't give him 75. He'll never hit 70, dude. I think he will, but the point is that he can do that while getting himself tested for a number of things, which can lead to preventative care. It's cheaper. I might throw a $7 million change up.

You're getting older, Blake. You get a complimentary breakfast, also part of getting older. You can't pass that up. You could bring your kids. Get out there on the field. It's fun. I think the health screenings are for men age 18 and up. So if you try to get a screening for your 7-year-old's prostate situation or something,

it's probably not happening. All right. So join us Saturday. Okay. All right. You've used the words frustrating, disappointed, angry. Does the word, do you get embarrassed at all by the results of the Cowboys and how the national perspective is sometimes?

I don't know. Would you get embarrassed if you were standing in the stadium? Seriously. Jerry, who do you think this team showed the most performance? The answer's no. You cannot be embarrassed standing in the stadium. That was 11 years ago, Dan. There's a Monet.

People don't forget. They don't. I don't know if there's a Monet there. It's probably a bunch of people you actually haven't heard of, right? Gene Jones has commissioned. They don't even do that anymore, do they? It's been a minute since I heard it. It's old art now.

We used to watch that. That used to be one of the staples of every game. Every national broadcast was, there's the artwork. Well, I think one thing that you lost was Al Michaels. Because if there's a guy who definitely goes and has art and looks at art, it's Al Michaels. Now, Nance is up there. Number two, yeah. Nance is up there. Hey,, yeah. Nance is up there.

Nance, if you may recall. I'm not thinking Brohard has art. No. Or KB. Yeah, KB. I'm trying to think of anybody else. Also not the 20-year-long relationship with Jerry where he's got to blow him all the time. Right.

Speaking of Jim Nance and art, I do think there was something in his divorce proceedings. This is probably already on the K-Spin list. But when he went to court for divorce stuff, part of the problem was he said that she wouldn't travel with him and support him. She's like, no, that seems lame. And also one thing that was mentioned in their irreconcilable differences was that she wouldn't let him hang an oil painting of himself that he received as an award in their home. Definitely still on the list. Yes.

It's my favorite note. Yeah. You know how there's like bro code and you don't want to... Like you got to side with the guy usually in a divorce or something. I feel like... but you have a, I don't know if you have any,

since you're a misogynist. Anyway, do you have any like girlfriends that you're more friends with and you would give the bro code to them? Because I do. And I think I would, I'm instantly giving my bro code to Jim Nance's wife. Like, yeah. Oh, you're right.

He's a dork. You shouldn't go on a trip with him or hang his painting of himself up there. Get all you can. Get half. Get more. I'm with you. Let's go. He did get a new wife.

Of course he did. I'm sure she's about his age. I don't think it's as much of a discrepancy as you might think. She was like the president of IMG. All right. Let's see. Which is great. Born 59.

I need a president. So women can be president. That's a little political humor. Okay, they started dating when she was 29 Before the divorce was final Sure Yeah you gotta get a head start Perhaps Jim

Jim Nance on her resume Helped her become president of IMG Ah Ah Anyway we're live streaming today We are So you're probably listening to us later But

Just so you know After the Cowboy game We tried to live stream I feel like 11 is so early now Like Just Just because I tried to watch this whole game again Because I wanted to catch Romo

Glad I did Yeah, it was quite the day I got through three quarters. But I know you also watched a Mavs game, which I didn't even dream of doing. It's fun times, man. Friday night was a super fun game. Last night was a super fun game. Both of them ended in the same way.

Heartbreak. But at least they were fun sporting events to watch, unlike whatever we've been watching on Sundays. Now, that was a fun live stream, though. It was. We did our best. We did a stream team, a watching party. So if we do a watching party here on a Sunday game,

video man Rob Chickering is like... I like it better if you say, Video Mon. Video Mon. Or it's Video Mon. Video Mon says, let's just keep the equipment set up, and we'll just do the next day's show there as well. And so we are.

We're here high atop my garage broadcasting on 11.11, show number 265. We have a sit-in. Actually, a sit-in and a buddy of a sit-in. He's got a buddy. The buddy is Romo, who we've met before at the Rare Rock place, the whatever gem thing. Speaking of people who probably like art. At least his boss does. Yeah.

And Brad Wheeler is our sit-in, who's on the couch. He has the coveted couch seat. In fact, I introduced my wife to... Who was with us yesterday? Dave Barnett, Kurt... Shut up! Jesus! The dog's 11 years old and he barks at me. He barks at every...

You know everything around here. Okay, so Dave Barnett. Sorry, it was Dave Barnett. I introduced him as the couch guest to my wife. And then later on, she's like, what's a couch? What does that mean? I'm like, well, it's a little bit elevated.

It means... I mean, Romo's back there in common chair. And Brad Wheeler here on couch. Courtesy of Qualis. Thank you, Qualis. Oh, what do you mean? Got himself a roof. Got myself a roof.

I had a couple of people come out, give me a couple of quotes. Then I heard, of course, Qualis on the dumb zone had them come out. They got me a shirt because, of course, I was already subscribed for a year. So I got a shirt instead of a subscription. So they'll give you a free annual. They give you a free annual. And if you already have the free annual. If you just get a roof inspected.

Just get an inspection. And if you already have the annual, then you get a shirt, which is nice. And then they were the lowest quote. So they were like $1,400 less than the closest one, than the cheapest. So we got them. And then here we are today. Now, for that lower price that you paid, I'm sure there are holes in the roof everywhere. They only did a portion of the roof.

No, they did a great job. And the other nice thing is if you want to work with guys named Blake. Really? That's a company full of guys named Blake. Well, I can tell you. Solid. Yeah. That's how I feel about Blake.

So we would like to, the company I work for, Scenario. Always there. That roof is always there for you. Yeah, I don't have to worry about it. You kind of don't think about it because the roof doesn't tell you all the stuff that it did. Like when it rains, the roof doesn't afterwards go, hey, are you still dry? See what I did yesterday? Like Blake is. He just gets it done. And what kind of roof would tell See what I did yesterday? Like Blake is

He just gets it done. And what kind of roof would tell you what they did? Let's cut off Let's cut off the comps there folks. Just trying to say Blake just like like our halftime show yesterday.

Yeah it was great. Like it's just done. It's there. It's solid. It's taking care of its business. That's what Qualys Roofing does. What's their website? Let's we're just's solid. It's taking care of its business. That's what Qualys Roofing does. What's their website? We're just turning this into today's first call.

I think it's qualysgc.com. Qualysgc.com? That's right. What's GC stand for? General Contracting. Oh. Okay. That's right.

The only other C word I can think of I don't think I would use to describe Qualys. No. Well, I mean, that usually equates a good time. All right. The only other C word I can think of I don't think I would use to describe Qualis. No. Well, I mean, that usually equates a good time. All right. It really does. Okay. Well, thanks to Qualis for bringing us bread. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, Qualis Roofing. Yeah, Qualis Roofing. Thanks again. So you get a roof from them. They take care of things with the insurance company. And then they gift you a sit-in. That's right. How about that?

My man was at the casino last night. That's right. Drove in from Oklahoma. That's right. Yeah. Dang. Ballin'. I figured I watched the Cowboy game from the craps table.

You drove all the way from Oklahoma. It's only an hour, dude. I feel like that was part of the joke that I set up. But go ahead and dude me. Dude me in my own home. I'm sorry about that. Unbelievable. All right.

But yes, we're big fans of the sit-in. So my company would actually like to sponsor same thing. So if you hang on until the end, until closing remarks, we'll offer a similar thing. So if anyone signs on for a scenario customer, we'll pay for a sit-in as well. Just paying it forward. All the fast forwards right now.

Pay it forward. People listening, like, I don't want to hear what they said about the cowboy game. Hopefully nobody gets stabbed in the stomach like Haley Joel Osment at the end of the movie Pay It Forward. Hopefully not. Interesting. We should review that movie. As I recollect it, the whole thing is about him.

I can't remember if he gets sick or he's poor. Something's not going well. And he rallies the whole town to do kind things to someone else. Kind of like getting booed, except you do nice stuff for people and you pay it forward. And everybody's inspired by him. And then he gets shivved at school in the guts. It's the last scene. So what's the message then?

You should not pay it forward? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's very biblical in the sense of, like, it's not always going to pay off for you in this life, Haley Joel Osment. Is he the one that got AIDS? Yes. Damn, he's been through a lot, man. He really has.

Then he created some VR company in Silicon Valley. He did have a good run there. Yeah. This guy kind of looks like he worked just like in a house, Silicon Valley style. Sure. Go on. He's coding and knows a lot about computers, but also has a bong. That's how he looks anyways.

Right. He may not. I'm sorry. No. That's kind of a compliment. You got it. I was going to say, he didn't really recoil, so I don't know why I apologized. We can check.

Well, first of all, I just wanted to follow up on the watching party, too. It was great. Kurt from Mexican Cuisine, the place that has the 9-11 Memorial in front of it in Grapevine. I enjoyed some mesa this morning for lunch one. I was about to say, it's really good heated up, too. I feel like Blake will be eating that for the next couple weeks. I made – Seeing what he took home. It's good stuff.

I made seven containers. Good. So I've got lunch and dinner for the next three days. Yeah, no, that was just a good time. It was actually a lot of fun. If you want to go back and watch it, the halftime show is fun. I think we're playing that on our live stream break today just to tease that. Boy, I thought I had some other things to say about the game, but I can't recall.

Or just about the stream. Dave Barnett was great. Oh, yeah, I did want to highlight him. You know, we never really met Dave Barnett. One of us. He's great. One of us. I love that guy.

I'd love to get him back up here, maybe for a stream, maybe just hanging out on the show. Sure. Commenting on the news. Great dude.

Yeah. So, yeah. Thanks to Dave Barnett for coming out here as well. All right, yes. Weekend check, and we'll make weekend check

having been brought to you by Qualys Roofing. How about that? Rewind if you want to hear all the info about that. So we did, I don't know, it was a busy work weekend for us. No one's patting us on our back, but no days off around here. So I don't have much for you, but I did want to bring you this

as Brooks is trying to find new TV shows to watch and what have you. And I think the way your teenage daughters talk... Are you just eating on camera? Well, I'm not on a microphone. What if you wanted to interject something into his funny story? I could tell the way he was starting leading up. I'm going to have at least 30 seconds, and then you have to go talk.

It's my weekend check, so he doesn't have anything to interject with. Why are you saying something to me? So he found a show. I'll stay still, Rob. I'm sorry. He found a show called Bat Wheels, still, Rob. I'm sorry. He found a show called Bat Wheels. And I thought, this is innocent. It's Batman and cars basically molded together.

And it's a fine show, whatever. But then I'm discovering that the words we used to think that his daughter said to annoy us is just how kids are going to talk. Interjection, what do you mean? Yeah, I was going to say. His daughter? Kind of like this. ...to home in on you and come to your aid when you need them.

That is straight fire. Sounds like there's a lot more to them. That's just how they talk. Okay, so this is Batman's daughter? No, this is... He's saying my daughter. The way that they how they talk. Okay, so this is Batman's daughter? No, this is... Or somebody's daughter. He's saying my daughter. Oh, my daughter's daughter.

The way that they used to talk, we thought was to make us mad, but it's not anymore. It's past the point of irony to where it's actually how they talk now. There's no irony. And that's not a throwaway line. That's just like they defeated the Joker or whatever

and they saw something cool. That's straight fire. And the Riddler, and they saw something cool. That's straight fire. And the Riddler had something for him. They got tricked or something, and then Catwoman says this. Sorry, Batman. We really dunked the donut on this one. Yeah, this whole limo thing was pretty sus. I have no idea.

So, I mean, Brooks is just going to start saying that's sus And it's not a joke It's now infiltrated Because he's learning, yes Yeah, and so I was watching it with him And she said, yeah, this whole thing was pretty sus And I was just, okay So we replaced

The N word in children's programming With, you know know when I grew up well at the time that was yeah that was reflecting the way people talked and the writers kind of had fun with it

because Batman does the whole like I don't know what you said sorry Batman we really dunked the donut on this one yeah this whole limo thing

was pretty sus I have no idea what you just said alright so we'll nod to the adults watching along with him. Definitely written by a father. That's great.

That is good. So yeah, your kids are just going to talk like that. My daughter told me this weekend, her best friend is Google. I was with her. Always has an answer. I was with her. You might be like, I'm not sure. Yes.

Google will have something. I was trying to. You might be like, I'm not sure. Yes. Google will have something. I was trying to, somehow we started talking about the mall. I was like, do you know what that is? She's like, I think where there's a bunch of stores. I was like, yeah, that's like the only thing we had when I was a kid. I started just down this road of- Do you hate saying the phrase when I was a kid? Because then you feel like-

No. That makes me feel extra old. It should. I'll do that to my daughter since like, ah, man. This was the first time it had really come up. Because I remember my mom like, oh, I had just a black and white TV. And I'm like, whatever. Who cares?

That's why you're dumber. We had about 20 minutes. So I started rolling with it. I was just like, yeah, we didn't have this. We didn't have that. I was like, there wasn't internet. I didn't have internet. There didn't have that. I was like, there wasn't internet. I didn't have internet. There weren't left-handed people and gays.

Right, right, right. I can tell you what. They would have called you a witch given everything you got going on, sis. But I was like, yeah, we didn't have internet. And she's like, what do you mean? I'm like, well, you know the thing that, for example, Google is on? That didn't exist and she could not comprehend that.

He's like, well, Google's my best friend. I have difficulty comprehending it, difficulty comprehending it myself. Yeah. Like,

what would we do without it? did we have, I used to do this, you know, when our weekends were full of sporting activities and dance things

and whatever, you know, with the girls. Like what did we used to do, me and my wife? I mean, probably just lots of sex. I don't know. Movies. Sure. Right.

But like what did I use? How would you live without a phone in the sense that I'm grabbing it right when I wake up? I can tell you one way, because I just did it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You figure out how to occupy your time. You still do that, but you also find yourself actually thinking more. That's pretty sweet. You get a piece of paper.

I wonder if everybody should get a month of rehab a year. I honestly don't know if you could do it every year, but even a couple weeks I think would be good for just about everybody. You're just forced to think and write things down. Silent drive? I force myself just to let my mind wander. I've tried to not take the phone into the bathroom, but I can't. That's a good way to get steps, walking, thinking.

Yes. But about two minutes in, you're like, let me pull out the phone because I got to. Yeah. Someone needs me. I just need to look at the score. She said something else to me this weekend that was kind of funny. Do you want to do more? I don't have much either, but this never occurred to me before.

But she was upset about something else this weekend. We had a peak weekend of why does he do everything I do? And it pisses her off. Brother? Yeah. He wants to sing the songs that he knows that she likes in the car, and she's like, I hate this song now. I'm never listening to it again.

Don't play this in front of me. And she would cover her ears, and then he starts crying because he's looking at her like, I'm just trying to it again. Don't play this in front of me. And she would cover her ears. And then he starts crying because he's looking at her like, I'm just trying to do what she thinks is cool. And he doesn't get it. Yeah, man. It's awesome.

That's tough. Why is he copying me? Everything he does, everything he does, he's copying me. And so she was pissed off about something. She went to her room. I went in there.

I'm the smooth over guy. And after she said the first thing she was pissed off about, the second thing again, it never occurred to her room. I went in there. I'm the smooth over guy. After she said the first thing, she was pissed off about the second thing. Again, it never occurred to me before. She's like, the second thing I'm upset about is everything that I like doesn't really exist and everything that he likes does. I said, well, what do you mean? She's like, mermaids, fairies, magic princesses. None of that is real.

And I'm like, well, what about him? And she was like, trash cans, tractors, football. Oh, my gosh. She's like, all of those things are real. That's cool for her to put that together. I was like, damn. Wow, dude. I was scrambling.

I was like, the cat walked by. I was like, you love the cat? I was like, right, and I'm here. You love me? I was like, we. I was scrambling. The cat walked by. I was like, you love the cat? I was like, right, and I'm here. You love me? I was like, we got donuts this morning. You love donuts? But it kind of did hit me. For the female child, the things that they're typically like,

hey, why don't you be into these things that are all fantastical? She was like, that's not real. And she's kind of right. Other than that, my weekend check, I had two burgers. Nice, man. I think I'm entering my burger phase. Where'd we go? Had the kids Friday night by myself, so I ordered to go from Jake's.

Big fan. Big, big fan. Not a lot of great options for local stuff over here. Yeah, one opened up over there in Wiley, and it is packed all the time. I love it. I can't go. Big fan. Saturday, I went to that Hat Creek place. They have a playground. That's another

thing. I think more of those type of places. I would say it's like the Chipotle of burgers. So not fast food, but not a sit-down full-on. They should all have playgrounds. Like Chipotle should have a playground. It's got to be a low investment for making that place stand out above others for a dinner option. Their food is great.

We'll go to Chick-fil-A just to go to the playground. Of course. Because they know. There's got to be some liability though. I guess. Yeah.

I got a buddy who operates a Chick-fil-A who says it's not... That invites customers that don't really make you as much money as others. I could see that. Because they're coming there

and spending two hours but spending the same amount as others. And they get their free refills. That does make sense. You don't make a lot of money on kids' meals. And yeah, you got to clean that cesspool every hour. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But it definitely stands out for us.

It's like, all right, we'll go there. But yeah, I think it's interesting. When you decide to cut a substantial number of empty calories out of your weekend, you don't mind going back-to-back burger days. Okay, so that's what this is. Well, I'm just saying. I mean, well, it ain't like before. I was also still doing that before.

I would just feel terrible about it. Now I'm like, what's the problem? Now it's guilt-free. Yeah. Of course I can have a burger. I'm not drinking six beers. Yeah, and I ran. So it's like, hey a burger. I'm not drinking six beers. Yeah, and I ran, so it's like, hey, I think

I'm in my burger phase. My burger mode, Blake. Yeah, and those empty calories led you to Taco Bell at midnight. Which I may or may not remember is on the front porch. Yeah, other than that, my sports teams all did great. Nah.

My weekend check is also very small because of just the enormous amount of work that we're putting in over here. But I was at Market Street in Colleyville doing my shopping on Saturday. You did not. What? Fall in love again? No, no. This has nothing to do with any cashier.

All right. I'm kind of looking for the older cashiers now, yeah. This has nothing to do with any cashier. All right. I'm kind of looking for the older cashiers now. Had a familiar cadence. It did. His eyes just drifted off. No, it was... I think this was Saturday where it was pretty warm. It was kind of weirdly warm.

And then I walked. I was trying to get my steps in because I haven't been walking at all. So I walked from, because I go to two different places for food. So my wife wanted some McAllister's. I was going to get some Kanta ramen and then I was going to stop in between and grab a little something at Market Street.

I go to like the grocery store four or five times a week. Because I'll to like the grocery store four or five times a week I might be because I'll be like oh I forgot my I forgot the oatmeal and I'll go buy that just that

because I don't have like a long giant list all that and then I'll forget oh man I should have got a milk and then I'll go and I don't like you know I like

I don't like vegetables if they're from Kroger, so I'll go to Market Street or whatever. Anyway, so I'm walking around, trying to get more steps in the grocery store even, and then there's a lady there with the things, got a little table set up and everything, and she has beer.

And she wanted to know if I wanted a beer, a sample beer, like a small little cup of beer. And I'm like, no. And I was thinking, that's weird, number one. What if I have this crazy, you know, like Jake, I'm this dirty, dirty drunk that

can't even stand the sight of beer, and if I smell a little bit, now I drink, oh, I'll have a sip, and then now I'm this dirty, dirty drunk that can't even stand the sight of beer. And if I smell a little bit, now I drink. Oh, I'll have a sip. And then now I'm buying a bottle. And now I'm... Well, I mean, you're at the grocery store. So it's available to you if you wanted it. But then I thought this.

Because over the years, we have developed opinions that perhaps a gummy is better for you. It's safer, perhaps. I don't know. That whole thing. Is THC better? If they were both starting from zero today, neither of them were legal, and they just had the lobbyists on both sides

trying to pitch it, at least medical professionals, what would they say is better for you in the long run? I think it would not be alcohol. I think that's pretty unanimous. So that being said, as society's feelings change, and I guess government decides they can actually make money on the lobbyists for pot, and now we'll legalize it, all that kind of stuff,

will I ever be in a grocery store and be offered a hit of the bowl? Well, so – Because I'm being offered a small amount of alcohol. Yeah. Would I be offered a – you want to grab this gummy? This will make your shopping experience a little fun. I am not here to shoot down your whole point. But the difference is that the tasting of the alcohol is to provide you,

hey, this is what this tastes like, right? So that small amount. Because we're not going to get you where you want to go. Not even close. It probably wouldn't even, you know. The buzz or whatever. You wouldn't blow a.01 or something. You're tasting it.

Yeah. And while there are people that are cannabis connoisseurs to a point where the taste does matter to them, like a lot, for the most part, it's about the effect. Dude, it's always your dealer. Yeah, he's telling you. This one, look at this.

This is purple kush. I'm not sure how much it's going to matter because I'm going to put it in this pipe I haven't cleaned since ninth grade. But look at the hairs. Yeah. Hair? Okay, there's a hair. It's probably going to taste the same.

Do you want a hair? I guess you do. So that's the thing is that – It also matters with what you can drive on. That's true too. I mean – Here's a 20 milligram gummy. Yeah.

And the taste – You just go walk around. You can't get home. Yeah. For two hours. Yeah, they don't give just go walk around. You can't get home. Yeah. For two hours. Yeah, they don't give you a shot. Right.

So I doubt that. Although it's interesting to me, you know, you can buy those CBD Delta 9 drinks now that if it says 5 milligrams, if you drink that whole thing, it feels exactly like taking five milligrams. And you can get those at any liquor store, but you can't get them at the grocery store. I used to talk to you about the thought, because I had this thought even when my kids were babies, about the alcohol and THC. And just the rite of passage for anybody is like sharing a beer with their dad or something like that, having a beer. In the future, would that be smoking a joint with your dad?

I think that's kind of already happening. That's a lot more common than that. Yeah, I mean I obviously knew guys growing up that we would smoke with their dad. Or like in my 20s. It was weird. They were hippies. But I do think it's becoming a little more common now. But it is still different because

the effect is different. Yeah. Like I've been hammered in front of my family obviously and I've seen them imbibe quite a bit and I don't think I would ever want to be stoned in front of them. Were there 20-somethings in the 80s just getting into cocaine thinking... Come here, son.

In the future, yeah. Well, I... Until they decided, you know, people started, like, dying from doing cocaine, and they discovered, oh, this isn't... Maybe it's not great to use cocaine. Anyways. Anyways, indeed.'t, maybe it's not great to use cocaine. Anyways. Anyways, indeed. Yeah, should we do, jump into sports and stuff?

Why not? Can we sponsor this? Oh, how about Elite Rides DFW? Yeah. Man, I'm jealous of you all Friday. I don't know if we're getting an Elite Rides this Friday. But we're, yeah, we got to schedule an Elite Rides DFW. That is, it's kind of like, I don't know, would you say it's like Von Lane, like Uber,

So clean. So wonderful. It's all decked out. Yeah, definitely go into a cowboy game, go into a Mavs game or something. That's a big deal.

or EliteRides-DFW.com Let them take care of you. So, man, I'm looking at the box score after the game. Yeah. How can this be? 13 for 23.

45 yards passing. Yeah. For the game. The sack yards didn't do him any favors, though. That's probably really what it was, right? No, he didn't push the ball down the field. He got sacked once. Then I made a bad point.

Yeah. Once for 10 yards. So, yeah, let's take that away. Yeah. And we've got 55 yards. That's tough. Passing. On that, what, on that drive?

No, no, no, no. The game. Yeah. Every one of their drives, Cooper Rush could not throw the ball past two yards. And if he did, it was either wildly inaccurate or, well, it wasn't intercepted. He didn't have any silver lining. Mm-hmm.

Cooper Rush takes care of the, well. Unless it hits him in the. Did fumble twice, I think. Sack. Yeah, I guess that one sack was a sack fumble, wasn't it? Yeah. Where the ball bounced around and Terrence Steele thought he was going to pick it up and rumble for... I don't know what he was thinking.

15 yards. Isn't that like one of the first things they teach those offensive linemen? If there's a fumble? Yeah. Like you fall on it? Yeah. Not try to on it. Yeah. Not try to time it and pick it up. Like you're Terrence Steele.

You're really not good at the blocking part, let alone the picking up the ball and running it part. Yeah, it was a disaster. And as I referenced yesterday on the stream, his passing chart is hilarious. I don't think he had a single completion over 10 yards. He had one at 10 yards. Everything else was five or under. Here's one, two, three, four, five of those 13 completions

behind the line of scrimmage. It's a funny-looking chart. It's what they have. I don't know. I feel like most people, including the front office, deluded themselves into thinking that he was a really, really good backup because he won four games. But again, he did that with a great running game

and an elite defense. He might be an average backup quarterback. I don't know, but he's definitely not one of the best ones. You know, he's not last year Flacco even. He's just a year Flacco even. And it wasn't like he was called in to, he didn't know he was going to, he got all the reps this week.

Got all the reps this week. Been in the office for multiple years. Yeah. To look like that. But the thing is, you could have expected it because Dak wasn't producing. The whole thing is so broken already as far as a lack of protection, a lack of creativity on offense, and a lack of a run game.

Dak couldn't move the ball well. So it would be crazy to expect Cooper Rush to do the same. You know what? I almost think it's the same thing as what we saw last night with like the Lions, for example. The Lions have been winning big because jared goff has been okay he really hadn't been that great he's been fine but when jared goff plays terrible the lions might only beat you barely the cowboys have a chance at playing competitively if dak has an insanely good game. That's like their ceiling is maybe we can stay in this.

If you remove that and take Cooper Rush, they have no chance, not of winning, but of keeping the game close at all. Despite the fact that it was close at half, it never felt like they were anywhere close to taking the lead. No, but it did, you know, they were close at half. They were still close midway through the third quarter just because it was, you know, this could have been one of those games

you said, oh, a division game and weird things happen in any given Sunday because, I mean, things started out kind of super positive. But, you know, Micah's back and, you know, all of a sudden they're pressuring Hurts. They're sacking him. Five sacks in the first half of Jalen Hurts, which is huge. Overshown was everywhere. Overshown is everywhere. Lawson is showing that he might have something.

The digs pick. But so they had, yeah, they had Oversshown big sack, made it third and 33. So they get the ball back. And then that's where Cooper Rush fumbled on the snap that hit him in the chest. Then he actually has it, you know, in his hands on the ground, but he has it ripped away. Like he couldn't hold on. So that gives Philly the ball at the 17.

And then, you know, it's almost a given that they're going to score. On the tush-push. The next drive out, I remember you yelling about this, like, what is he doing, Turpin, taking the kickoff out from, like, eight yards deep in the end zone? But he got it out to the 41, and you're like, okay, here we go. You know, then the offense, of course. But then, I mean, Trayvon Diggs, awesome interception in the end zone. I suppose that's a little fool's goal, too,

if you're trying to get excited about something but they had driven down the field very easily to get to the end zone and then you have an you know it takes that unbelievable play it was great um then yes that big momentum shift with digs getting the uh the ball for the cowboys the offense can manage five yards on that ensuing drive. They're averaging two yards per play up to that point, and I think that continued all game. Let's see here. I got – oh, okay.

How did the Cowboys get the ball down to first and goal from the seven with three and a half minutes left in the second quarter so it's only seven three they could score and take the lead and what do you do let's bring in Zeke you want to mix in some audio as we're talking? Because they bring in Zeke, and so this is what they were saying about Zeke early on the broadcast. You saw a shot of Zeke Elliott. Zeke Elliott was suspended last week for the game in Atlanta.

He came back this week, talked to Coach McCarthy about it, and said all things are good. And he had his best week of practice he's had. I love that. Oh, yeah. Love that. The best week all year of practice. Boy, I love it when they get beat,

and then McCarthy and Dak are like, man, practice was crappy this week. That's why we played terrible. And then everybody nods. Ah, yeah, okay. practice was crappy this week. That's why we played terrible. And then everybody nods. Ah, yeah, okay. One leads to the other. Ah, that's – so I'm fired up now. Zeke. Yeah.

And he had his best week of practice he's had, and he expects he's going to be a big part of the Cowboys' success today if they have any on the ground. Yeah, he's still – And then here's Romo with the company line. Has a great, unique skill set. What does that mean? What does an elite skill set mean?

Like, does Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still have an elite skill set? He has the skill set. He just can't do any of the skills anymore. Has a great, unique skill set. And I expected him to come in on these types of situations. Short yardage, red zone. He has that knack for getting that extra foot yard. Does he?

Foot yard. That is the whole thing. Yeah, it's ridiculous. The bill of goods we've been sold about him. It's never been true. Two years ago, I remember looking at, everybody's talking about letting him go. Short yardage is going to fall apart. His short yardage

yards per attempt and first down success was the same or lower than Pollard's that year. He just got more chances. There was nothing that he did that made you think, oh, this is definitely better than Pollard. Romo kind of tried to do Nance dirty a little bit.

I'll play this one on Zeke later because as you can tell there, they talked to McCarthy and McCarthy's like, hey, he's back. I'm expecting him to... Yeah, that was very early in the game. Yeah, this is a little bit later when Zeke had, I think, his longest run which was maybe like an eight-yarder.

Thank you, Trace. There's Elliott. Trace. Tumbling up ahead. Yeah, they don't go T-W or T-dub. Trace. Thank you, Trace. There up ahead. Yeah, they don't go TW or T dub Trace. Thank you Trace. There's Elliott Tumbling up ahead. He's gonna set up a third and three picked up eight on that one. Well you did Predict that he would have a big game today. That was a good sign right there Yeah, it was Mike McCarthy Zeke was gonna come back in the tone for his absence last week.

I just love the man's like, don't put that shit on me, man. Not predictable. Is that a Cooper rush? Here we go. Yes. Yeah, we do have that. His absence last week. Here we go.

Pretty meager, but yeah. Here we go makes me mad. It does. Hold on. I love that, though. We do that to each other. What? I mean, you said, dude.

You said Kyrie would take over in that Thunder Series. I thought, where are you? Nah, it was more McCarthy. Yeah, I love that bit. But yes, Cooper Rush's Here We Go is not very inspiring at all. Yeah, so somehow, let's see. Oh, okay. I'm trying to tell you that the first half wasn't, I mean,

you thought they could still win this game somehow, but you had to keep getting crazy plays. Because, so Zeke fumbles. And now, Hertz fumbles. Mic. And now, Hurts fumbles. Micah, back, sack, fumble. First and goal again. Let's go. All right, let's not make the same mistake we did.

Wait, they brought Zeke back in to give him the next carry. And we all predicted it here on the stream. Because they're like, got to show him. Got to get back up there. Like that was so ridiculous to bring him back in. So he runs for nothing. And then now you have – The next play was he picked up three. So it's second and three from the three, and this is the Sun play.

Where CeeDee Lamb loses the ball in the Sun. Now let's talk Sun. Okay. I know we've got audio to go with it and everything. Quite a bit. CeeDee, the point you made during the stream yesterday, you're like, it was a joke. But it was, hey, it is home field advantage in a sense.

You know it's going to be there. You have dealt with this before. And what that means to me is I have played here so many times. I've dealt with this problem so many times. I know now how to work around it. I will not call a play that calls for a receiver to get the ball right there in the sun. I have a lot of plays.

Some of them have the ball being thrown right there. I mean, I could do a running play. I could do this. I could do... I got a million things. Let's not do that one. Now, I know there's options on every play, but still. Well, I would say, if you think about it, though,

Ferguson and Lamb were both in the sun. You know, we were like, who's he throwing that ball to? Ferguson thought it was to him at first. So both the receivers there. And then Alligator pulled his arms back. So, at minimum, what you want to do is use the sun as like a decoy space for the route and at least have somebody coming back across it on the other side of it, right?

You can't have your high, low. But was his thing, I'm throwing a CD no matter what? I'm Cooper Rush, so I don't really. Probably, and that's an indictment of their other receivers, of the play calling, whatever. But yeah. You know what? I was writing notes during the game too.

That's who i think their other receiver like um like cooper rush somebody was got open left oh it was a free play late in the game later in the game remember uh there was an offside so cooper rush free play you could throw it past two yards so he does and he overthrows other receipt. I don't know. I know it wasn't C.D. Lamb, but my point is that's what I think of the other receivers right now. You're either C.D. Lamb or you're an other receiver because nobody stands out as somebody you're worried about.

I'll play you a quick Romo thing on that. This is during a pass interference. I think it was Jalen Brooks who got held on a third and three, and Slay had jammed him up. I think it was probably a correct call. He's going to go up and then stop. And right here, you've got to let him go. Let him go.

Once the ball is in the air, they're just looking at you. It's like DB's going to wait with that for a little bit of time there. But he didn't mean to because you're not going to get Seedy Lamb right there, right? Just stand there. But he didn't need to because you're not going to get CeeDee Lamb right there, right? Just stand there. Okay. Yeah, it's not CeeDee Lamb. Just stand there. You don't have to do anything, bud. There's no need to hold Jalen Tolbert

or Jalen Brooks. But yeah, back to the sun. Both can be true. You'd like to think that there's some forethought into, all right, we're going into this. The sun's right there. We're not going to run both of our routes for our two best receivers in Ferguson and Lamb right to there and have Cooper kind of roll that way.

But you know what's even weirder than that? After they got that incompletion, they ran the ball on third down and I didn't pull this part, but Roma was like, all right, well that tells me they're going forward on fourth down because they, they attempted a run play there. And no sooner than he was done with that sentence, Brandon Aubrey was out on the field tracing his steps.

He's like, I guess you're going to make it seven, six here. Yeah. From the four. Yeah. So the four? Yeah. So, yeah, they got to the six and turned it over and then got the ball back at the six and got to the three.

Do you want to hear Jerry on the sun or no? Of course. Okay. This is interesting because first thing I do on my Monday morning is I want to go see Jerry on the Cowboys website. It's typically just home games, but they're pretty good about putting their stuff up. So this one was a little bit different because the video is about 13 minutes long, but it kind of changes settings a little bit about halfway through. The first six or seven, there's one camera angle. And then in the middle of it, there's a clear cut.

And he starts talking again. Kind of in the same area of the stadium. Bowels, I suppose, but it's different. And something had clear, there was like a jump cut there. And I'm like, all right, well, I know he said this stuff about the stadium and that wasn't about the stadium, and that wasn't in the cut, the 14 minutes on either side of it. So I'm like, all right, they – Did you hear Saad?

Yeah. Yeah. So – Saad, you – okay, go ahead. So I'm thinking, all right, well, they cut this out, or it was in a walk-off and it's just not included. So I listened to the whole thing. I'm like, that's weird.

So I hit up our friends, Saad and John Machoda, from the One Star Podcast. But Saad was saying on his podcast that, because I listened to it late last night. Okay, yeah, I have not heard their show yet. Okay, but he said it was weird. He thought that nobody really asked him about the sun during the thing, and Jerry offered up some comments on his own. Yes. Which is really weird.

At seven minutes, it's over. Yeah. And then Jerry is kind of in trail-off mode. He's actually walking away. I think he's walking away and he yelled over to them or something. He yelled over to them. Then they scurry back over. And after Sun Talk, we get another seven minutes of the press conference.

I would have thought somebody would have brought up Sun. Okay, so my thought, I wrote this in the thing this morning, is for d magazine but there were a lot more like without the sun you still yeah and i think people are just tired of asking him about it because they know he never says anything different yeah and how many times could you do that so uh yeah let's see here uh yeah, I think I have this right. Hold, please. I should have been.

There's so much audio, Dan. There really is. If you want to hold it until Jerry audios. No curtain. Here it is. I had to have no curtain talk and curtain talk cuts. By the way, we know where the sun's going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not. So we do know where the damn sun's going to be.

And our own stadium. Why not put the curtains down? Why not mitigate that? What? The sun and the stadium. Well, let's just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. You're kidding me. But it's not...

Everybody's got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues. They know where the sun's going to be. So our team has the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues. They know where the sun's going to be. So every team has the same thing. So is it more on Mike not understanding where the sun is? I'm not

saying. I'm saying the world knows where the sun is. Dude, he's pissed at McCarthy. That was a good follow-up there. I don't know who did that. He definitely is. I'm not saying that but the world knows. Is it more on Mike not understanding, he definitely is. I'm not saying that, but the world knows. Those moron Mike not understanding where the sun is. I'm not saying.

I'm saying the world knows where the sun is. We get to know that almost a year in advance. So someone asked me about the sun. What about the sun? Where's the moon? We're fine, but everybody plays in the sun out here. Where's the moon? Why is nobody talking about the moon?

Where's the moon in this whole equation? Has anybody seen Ursa Major? Dude. These constellations. He's pissed at McCarthy. He should be. By the way, we got... That one or Cooper Rush. Some of our audio we'll overlay with video later for the YouTube upload and everything.

And thanks to Fox 4 for hooking us up with the video. They've got great video for us. We have shooters everywhere. It's... The damn sun? Dude, he's mad at McCarthyccarthy though that's why he offered that up he's like nobody ever asked me i'm gonna bring this up because i don't want to hear about this mccarthy knew when we did the coin flip we knew like when he was calling plays he was saying basically between the lines there yeah he was saying what we just said.

You have other plays in the playbook. You don't have to call for one, for two receivers to go right into the sun and we'll throw it to one of them. Yeah. No, you're right. It's been a problem seemingly for every play caller here, but you're right.

And also, how reminiscent of a fight with your spouse or something is, why don't we just tear the whole damn stadium down? Right, yeah. I guess if I'm that bad. I feel like you're taking a leap right there to 11. We're here at 2 here. Maybe some curtains?

We're saying a curtain, yeah. I mean, literally during the soccer, they do put up the curtain. They have them. Concerts. They have the curtains. It's not like they have to go buy them. My last quick something here. This is funny.

What about the moon? Has anybody asked the moon? Why are we not talking about the moon? This is right after the Zeke fumble, but before they had gotten the ball back which is where the the Sun play occurred right so Zeke fumbles they get the Philly gets the ball back then they the Parson sack etc so this is coming back from a break and they're doing what they do at Cowboy Games they're showing the end zone view from

the ground just looks like God's light is pouring into the stadium jim dance is gonna come he's amazing shots with the sunshine bleeding through all courtesy of nationwide as the eagles will try to do a little business here in the last three minutes to jean with the recovery off the elliott fumble i just thought that 15 seconds perfectly encapsulates everything about the Jerry Jones Cowboys. Yeah, Nance is like, that sun looks really cool. That sun looks awesome. All right, so we're going to try to see what we can do

after the Zeke Elliott fumble. And two plays later, on offense anyways, the sun was a problem that forced a failed goal line possession. But Nance loves it. Nance sees the shots and he's like, boy, that's beautiful. And man, I went and found the either 2006 or 2007 Wall Street Journal article where Jerry's talking about the stadium. It's hilarious. Like just him, you know, because he's talking about the stadium, it's hilarious. Just him,

because he's talking about the architects that built it and there was one quote in there, he actually says, the stadium says technology. But they're marveling at it and it's just really funny in hindsight.

Yes, everything's really funny about the Cowboys right now. It kind of is. It's like they're comically bad. Yeah. They're comically bad now. Whether it's the ball hitting, whether it's the Cooper Rush snap was funny. CD over on the sideline telling McCarthy, I can't see it. Oh, yeah, I guess I do have CD as well.

With that play with you and Ferguson, a little bit of miscommunication. Couldn't see the ball. Couldn't see the ball at all. Was the sun or the curtains? The sun. What? Were you in favor of curtains? Yes, 1,000%.

Will you talk to Jerry about that? I mean, y'all are doing my job right now. We got dissension. And he got paid. So, whatever. Right? Why not? We got problems in the room. Things are not going well.

I don't know how much more you really want to break down the game. No, I mean, I was just a couple notes. After that steal didn't fall on it, and it's the fumble, free play. Wait, the free play was right before that, where Cooper Rush missed receiver. Yeah. CD. Jalen Brooks, yeah.

Philly recovers at the Dallas 21. What's the score at that point? Still 20. Well, we're at 28-6. It was over for sure. Yeah. But we got a shot of the owner's suite without Jerry. Mm-hmm.

Like he couldn't even bear to be there. I don't recall them ever showing that if he's not there. Yeah, because there's just this empty, it's like Aaron Rodgers' seat at the... On The Bachelor. Yeah, at the table. Like it's empty. Now a low-level scout was standing there.

It was... Yeah, I think I've seen him before. Spalding. That's right. Somehow got in there. That's right. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of times where he's not at his seat, but they just don't show it.

This time they wanted to make a point with a little TV flare. Dude, they couldn't even get garbage time stats because I had written down they had 45 yards after three quarters. They ended up with 49 yards passing. Well, it was time for Trey Lance at that point. Should we get into that now? Because that's part of the comedy here, man. Yeah.

I mean, just from the origin of getting Trey Lance, the fourth-round pick, he was the number three overall pick, and he can't beat out Cooper Rush for the backup. They've given him every opportunity to do so. So he can't even get in as the backup. Like every preseason game, they're giving him everything. Like, please, show us something.

Anything. It really makes me wonder about Mike Shanahan. Okay, but here's the thing about that. Kyle. Kyle, sorry. So, they made a mistake, the 49ers. Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, they made a mistake. They gave up a lot to go get him.

But pretty quickly they realized they had made a mistake because he got hurt pretty quickly in his first year. He got hurt pretty quickly in his second year. And they liked what they had seen from Purdy, even in camp. So Purdy takes over for him and plays really well. So he was in first, got hurt, and then Purdy came in? Yes. Yeah, he like broke his ankle in week one or something like that. No, there's no doubt his injuries have been a problem with his growth.

But he had a shot to replace Jimmy. That's why they let Jimmy go. So they already knew Purdy's pretty good. The rest of the league hasn't seen what we really know about Trey Lance. Right. But hold on. They've only seen him in a game or two. Here's the other thing.

Not only were they willing to admit that this guy is not our starter, they were willing to admit this guy is not a backup because they brought in Darnold to be their backup quarterback last year. Yeah, because you could have had a cheap backup for four years. He was your QB3 last year. He was not active for most games. So they knew that's – and weren't we wondering this aloud when – Yeah, and I mean, Darnold is –

They acquired him? Darnold's okay, right? I mean, I think you see yesterday that everybody that's been saying the Vikings are kind of paper tigers may be right. They're fine, but he's not a world beater. But still, he's a bad starter, good backup, Darnold. Trey Lance clearly was not that. So they're looking at it as

you're definitely not the replacement for Jimmy. Purdy immediately leapfrogged you, despite being picked 256, or whatever the number is. We're going to bring in Darnold because we don't trust you to be the backup. And there's no way we're picking up your fifth year option.

Let's get on the phone. So the Cowboys, they give a fourth round pick for, what is the point of this? He was never going to be Dak in waiting. It was leverage against Dak. They were always going to pay Dak though. That's why I don't understand that.

They thought that could lower the price. Did it? No, that's why this is a colossal fail. As best I can tell, they gave up a fourth-round pick to have it confirmed by them with their own eyes that he's not any good. Because you could have figured out, well, they decided he's not any good. You also know you're not going to make him your starter, right? Because Dak's going to get paid and he's going to be the quarterback.

What would make you think he could be the starter if he couldn't be the backup on a good team? You must have thought he's got to be better than Cooper Rush. I guess. He was the number three overall pick. So, let's say he's better than Cooper Rush. You still would have to pay him the going rate. He's a free agent, as is Cooper Rush this offseason.

Because his fifth-year option has already been declined. So, let's say that he was good enough to be your backup and he's better than Cooper Rush this offseason because his fifth year option has already been declined. So let's say that he was good enough to be your backup and he's better than Cooper Rush. You're just going to have to pay him like a backup quarterback this offseason anyways. You could have just done that anyways. So you gave up a fourth round pick. The best case scenario

is that he's good enough to be your backup in which case you have to pay him like a capable backup of which there are a dozen of those guys available every offseason. is that he's good enough to be your backup, in which case you have to pay him like a capable backup, of which there are a dozen of those guys available every offseason. It is completely giving away a fourth-round pick. Even if he were good, it would be weird. If Dak had not signed his deal, then you could say, okay, we're going to see if we want to bring Trey back,

possibly as a starter or something. But now by signing Dak, there is no point in Trey Lance at all. They were always going to do that, though. But I just think that that was a way to push Dak. Is that a fourth-round pick given away for a smoke screen? Maybe. Kind of. They're like, look.

And then he bragged about that he didn't ask anybody. Yeah. He just made the trade. I mean, that's to me why it's interesting. Those other GMs know who to call. They're like, let's call Jerry. Yeah. They did the same thing on the Mingo trade.

Yeah. They could not believe what he gave up. I mean, to give the 49ers a little cover, that was during COVID. And Trey Lance didn't play. And so maybe they just thought there was a lot of upside there and when they finally got their hands on him, they realized this guy's got nothing. Gotta give credit to the 49ers for eating

that mistake and just getting out real quick just because they gave up a lot of draft capital to get him. And it's embarrassing to admit that and they were like, yeah, whatever, we just want him out. On. And it's embarrassing. And on paper... To admit that, and they were like,

yeah, whatever, we just want him out. On paper, it made sense from watching the little bit of Trey Lance I saw in college. I'm like, this guy's going to be

an animal in Shanahan's scheme. I get it. You're like, all right, imagine how Brock Purdy is now, but a little more athletic. But then you, I guess when you get

to deal with somebody day to day... And he hadn't played that much in college. That was the other thing is Purdy played a lot. You know, Dak came into the league having played a lot. But you mentioned Jerry being the one who said, I made this deal for Lance. That's why I have no feel for what they're going to do the rest of the way there.

The way I put it this morning. The rest of the way this season? Yeah, as far as quarterback goes. I don't know what anybody, any of the actors involved, I don't know what their motives are. I don't know what rationally they could be doing because Mike McCarthy knows he's not coming back. So does he say, well, I'm a competitor

and Cooper Rush gives me the best chance to win. Damn it, we're playing cooper rush jerry okay back to the sun audio and he's kind of pissed and i think he's pissed at mccarthy like we all know where the sun is like he wanted he's the one that brought it up to the media so he was thinking about it he's mad and he knows that people you know probably in his inner circle are even asking, yeah, what about that son, man? He's not going to fire McCarthy. He wants to fire McCarthy, but he's going to make him ride this out. Like no way am I going to deal with this on my own. You get to talk to the media every week.

You get to call plays. You know, you get to add losses to your resume for when you're looking for a job this offseason. I'm not helping you out here. Firing him right now would help him out. Mike McCarthy would love to not have to be at work this week. I agree. And get paid. I also think that most of the people in the league

that are going to evaluate McCarthy, one way or the other, they know what he is. Right. They'll work this in. They'll say, look, you're working for Jerry. We see what that team is. No running game, no offensive line, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. Now, maybe McCarthy looks at it and is like, you know what, screw it.

I want to see if I can make this Trey Lance thing work. Just as a competitor, I'm an offensive guy. I got eight games with this dude. Let's figure it out. You might as well. Let's see what we can do. It's going to be more exciting. I can promise you that.

Then Cooper Rush, you really know what you got there. But on the flip side, is Jerry thinking, which one is he leaning? Is he saying, Rush does give us a better chance to win, and we're not backing off that until there's a little E next to our name in the standings because crazier things have happened. So you think Jerry would lean towards that more than starting Trey Lance? I think both of them. That's what I'm saying.

If you start Trey Lance and he turns out to be kind of good, then Jerry can say, look, yeah, I made that Trey Lance trade. Right. But then you've got a guy that you can't afford because he'll be a free agent. Let's say he shows something that he's a viable option at NFL quarterback, which I think there's very little chance of that. Very little chance. And you also can't trade him because he's free.

That would have been a different deal too, Blake. If you got him and it's like, all right, well, this guy's got three years. If he is good, we might be able to flip him for an upgrade. Yeah, if there was another year on Lance's deal, this would be a different situation. Right. It's like you have no opportunity to trade him. But, yeah, which one does Jerry want?

There's also the fact that whichever one you think helps him win more also might hurt them overall. For sure. Because they need, like, a top 10 pick in the worst way. But Eric Kendricks, for example, should not be playing. Eric Kendricks played the third most defensive snaps yesterday. He's 30 million years old. Thanks for stopping by.

You should not be out there. Brandon Cook should not come back. Whatever's going on with Brandon Cook, just stay away. You should never play another down for this team. It's not his fault. It just is what it is. You've got to see what you've got in Tolbert and Brooks. Figure that out.

Schoonmaker played 11 snaps yesterday, your second-round pick. I'm not saying you've got to flip it with Ferguson because I think Ferguson has something, but you can't have that guy playing 11 snaps the rest of the way whenever none of these games matter. Awesome Richard should probably play more. He played for Guyton yesterday. Does he play

for Steele more? Daron Bland should not step foot on the field again for the rest of the year. A foot with a corner that's already mysteriously a month longer than we were told it was going to be? Just don't play. What about Micah? Well, you can't trade him.

Which I never would, by the way. He's in his negotiating year. But what are you going to do? Are you going to bench him? You're not going to bench a healthy 20-something-year-old. Do you think Micah sits out next year? It depends on who the coach is. No, just as far as...

He won't be at camp. That's what I mean. Yeah, he'll hold out. Hold out is funny. Well, the Cowboys learned their lesson because they camp. That's what I mean. Yeah, he'll hold out. Hold out is fine. Will the Cowboys learn their lesson? Because they learned that CD holding out damaged them. Yeah. No, they won't.

Well, there's two ways you can talk about the Cowboys learning, and they're probably too far into this to now become the Steelers and be like, we don't pay holdouts. We don't renegotiate. You play your contract out and we pay you. And then we negotiate. Yeah, I know. That's the thing.

Other agents know. Other teams do that. It's kind of like Dan's point always with Monica Lewinsky. It's like, I know what you're capable of. I don't know what you do here. So you're saying the buck stops with me all of a sudden? So if you're the Cowboys now. I'll just wait it out. I know you're capable of. I kind of know what you do here. So you're saying the buck stops with me? Yeah. All of a sudden. So if you're the Cowboys now. I'll just wait it out.

I know you're eyeing that cigar. If we go back to Dez, Zeke. Yeah. I don't know who else did it. I'm sure someone else did it in the past. The only reason Romo did it is because he didn't have to. Yeah, they've set it all up to where they're going to end up paying. Zach Martin.

Did he do a little holdout? Yeah. Yeah. That's right, because it was like, oh, not Zach Martin. Speaking of Zach Martin and Micah, here's the, I guess, somewhat cowboy viral clip from Micah yesterday. Mike's on the final year of his contract, so outside there's, of course, going to be questions.

What's the sentiment inside the locker room, and what do you tell people who are wondering about whether Micah will be your coach next year? final year of his contract, so outside there's of course going to be questions. What's the sentiment inside the locker room and what do you tell people who are wondering about whether or not he will be your coach next year? That's above my pay grade about if Mike is coaching again next year. But all coaching aside, coaching, Mike can leave and go wherever he wants. But guys, I kind of feel bad for guys like Zack Martin and guys who might be on their last year on their way out out because that's who I wanted to hold the trophy for.

You want to win games and do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did. Those are the kind of guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for. All right. Dang. Okay, I just read this. I know the message. I have one opinion, but I think I'm...

The ending does not, the way he says it is. Do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did. So those are the kind of guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for. He does not respect McCarthy. I do get what he's trying to say, which is, these teams are fleeting and every team is different. I love this group of guys. I wanted Zach Martin to get a chance. And I wanted, you know, Phil and the Blake.

Heck, he might even throw Zeke in there. I think where he also started was with the premise of a coach can – Yeah. Their career can keep going another 10 or 20 years. This guy's career is almost over. Yep. But – But.

is this guy's career is almost over. Yep. But. But. Once he did the, this guy's put in more sweat than Mike McCarthy, you know. That's not good. He said ever has. Ever has, yeah. Here's the end.

We might have a drop in here. You guys were 2-2 and you got hurt. You're 3-6 now and seemingly well out of the playoff picture. How do you contend with the feeling that the season is lost? Be the light. Even when it's dark as fuck, light up, bro. Wait, what did he say? He said, be the light.

And then he said, even when it's dark as fuck, be the light, bro. Be the light. Even when it's dark as fuck, light up, bro. Thank you. Thank you. Be the light, bro. Is that Tad? Is that Tad? Thank you. We're done. We're done. We got Mic. Thank you. Be the light, bro. Is that Tad? Is that Tad?

Thank you. All right. We got Micah going now. Be the light. Even when it's dark as fuck. Light up, bro. Thank you. He is cutting that off before Micah really gets going.

So is Micah kind of saying there, I'll still just go out and be great. Yeah, I've got it. But not much of a, air quote, team leader type statement. You would say this season is not lost. No. There are, you know, if you're a team leader and – but Micah's still young. And some guys just aren't that guy. I don't care as long as he's destroying the pocket, and he is.

Yeah, Luka's not that guy, right? Maybe more, but he's not. I don't know what the team leader that he's going to say something that people – Kyrie has kind of taken that. Yeah, but I don't think Luka would be laughing and cutting it up with a teammate when they're down by 30. That is also true. That's a bad look, man.

And he's probably not doing podcasts, having Devin Booker on during the season. What about CD after the game? Yucking it up. Yeah. On the field. Micah's probably exchanging a jersey. He's had some Eagles on his podcast, right? Darius Lloyd.

Darius Lloyd. Jersey. He's had some Eagles on his podcast, right? Darius Lloyd. So yeah, I think for the rest of the year they've got to just basically... I mean, the thing is they suck. And their schedule's pretty difficult. So I don't know how much tanking you really have

to do, but I personally would like to see them play Trey Lance just because it's kind of wild. Yeah, it's something different. Right. Run the option. Make him run. Who cares? What if he gets hurt? Who cares?

Yeah, I mean, Zeke is still going to be active, I guess, which is a complete waste of everyone's time. Why'd they bring Zeke back? Well, they sold a bunch of Zeke jerseys. Hey, his dad says says prove he's washed. $10,000 on the spot. Okay.

You don't need it, though, because Bitcoin's at like $85 right now. Damn. Is it really? Yeah. You going to sell? I was going to bring that up in the weekend check. It was like $60 last week, right? Two weeks ago?

Trump, bud. He's big into crypto. Have fun with your crypto or whatever you're playing with. Okay. I'll play with it for... I'll play with it. Have a good time with your Bitcoin

and your crypto. Have a good time. Will do. Let's go back to Trey Lance coming in for a minute. Okay. Just because I forgot, Blake, you had sent me some audio on this. This is the big man.

Mike McCarthy is going to talk about that whole situation because it was really weird, wasn't it? Yeah, so we see Trey Lance come in. He's in on first down and then second down, and then it's third and long, so they put Cooper Rush back in to throw a short pass. You're close to being correct. Uh-oh.

So he runs for four yards. Yeah, it was 28-6 when he went in. So it's second and six. Yes. Right, it's 28-6. That's important. Next play, there's a holding call. Yes.

That makes it second and 16. So, yeah, now you bring Cooper Rush back in. All right. So it was kind of like, wait, Trey Lance can't have a play that's over 10. You know who can, though? Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush. Here's a guy that'll sling it around.

All right, it didn't make sense, and I don't think McCarthy's answer makes sense either. Tim Kellishaw, Dallas Morning News. What do you see for Trey Lance moving forward? I know he played very little, but in terms of starting games? That's a good question. We're not there yet. I mean, we had a package for him.

We wanted to get him into the flow of the game was the thought process coming in here. And then to get him in when we did, you know, and then I took them out on the third down. Sorry. To get them in when we did, you know, and then I took them out on the third down. I just believe in reps. I mean, there was that third down segment there. Not that he couldn't run the plays.

I just didn't want to put him in there, something that he, you know, hadn't had a lot of reps in. So I put Cooper back in for that play after that, you know, for third down. We had to fumble the turnover there. So – Yeah. But, you know, it's something we'll obviously discuss tomorrow. Okay, so it wasn't third down.

You put him back in for second down, but it was second and long. And then you brought him in for second and 16, and you know what Cooper Rush did? He threw to CD at the line of scrimmage. Like that was the play. Chipping away two yards at a time. And I believe that's when the next play was the – or whatever, the free play was in there somewhere.

Free play, then the sack fumble. Then the fumble. Yeah, it's really weird because I get the whole like he has a package, of course. His plays are going to be different. That's why he ran the ball on the first snap. But in the next series, on the next Cowboys possession, they stayed with Trey Lance, who immediately found himself in the third and 14,

and they didn't run Cooper Rush back out there. And then what does he mean? I believe in the reps, so I didn't want him to get the rep when it was going to be really hard. Or are you saying he didn't get any third down reps in practice? That's possible. We gave him a lot of reps where he'd hand the ball off. But they kept him out there for the third down three plays later.

We gave him the second and five reps in practice. Yeah, once he gets the second and 15, he's out of the game. I hate his number, too, by the way. It's not working for me. I'm sure there have been some 19. Yeah, that's not good. Bernie Kosar is rolling over in his grave. I was going to say, I know there's at least one great, but not good. One great 19? Yeah. Johnny Unitas, right? Okay, well then there's two. I was thinking Bernie. Oh, you were thinking Bernie, okay. Bernie's a great in your mind,

okay, good. Yeah, I'm kind of a bit great, but he's a, I would have been a huge fan. Oh yeah. I love his coffee.

Yeah, I know you do. It just, it doesn't look, he wore five in San Francisco, right? Yeah, that sounds right.

Yeah, he just looks, he looks smaller, so yeah, Bernie is big and lumbering, you need 19. Mm-hmm., he just looks smaller. So, yeah, Bernie is big and lumbering. You need 19. Mm-hmm. Trey Lance looks tiny.

Oh, man. It's only halfway over, boys. We're only halfway? At halftime yesterday was halfway through the season. Let me just give you one more piece of McCarthy since I just played him talking. And we only have one more cut. Let me just give you one more piece of McCarthy since I just played him talking, and we only have one more cut.

I think Blake titled this as a DallasCowboys.com redirect because we're talking about bad stuff. I mean, this is throughout your career, you have one of the best turnover ratios of any coach in NFL history. Is this the most? I've never seen anything like this, David. I don't think even on teams that I was on as an assistant, I don't recall ever having back-to-back home games with five giveaways. Let's keep talking about that.

Tom, you're on DallasCowboys.com. How would you assess Micah in his first game back from injury? It's pretty good, man. Micah's great. Pretty good. You got to bring it back to the positives. Like Brandon Aubrey. Right.

Yeah. Perfecto. Once again, yeah, I was trying to think of the comp. Simone Biles? No, no, no, no, no. Tiger Woods? I like where you're going. But I just mean the...

I was coming up with this, but I don't think it's quite right. It's something that you just don't need. Is it the great stereo system in the Beater Pinto? Sure, okay. stereo system in the beater uh pinto or the uh sure okay i was i was thinking it's the when i was in my 20s i would see like a an old guy in his late 70s or 80 with his old withery wife driving around in a hot sports car a convertible like they don't i'm i should be in that. I would kick ass in it. I would do stuff and they're driving to the Like what? They're driving to Kroger

and then they're driving home and putting it away. They're not doing anything. I'm young. I'd be drinking. I'd be getting chicks in there. It'd be awesome. I could use that to its fullest potential. It's being wasted with that guy driving it. Like that's Brandon Aubrey.

Like what's the point of having Brandon Aubrey if you are a 5-12 team? You're, it's, I mean, certainly we can try to set the all-time record for longest field goal. But you've got this awesome thing that you're never going to be able to use, and you've got these good teams with, I'm not sure it's a I'll make it or miss it type field goal kickers. The Falcons could have used him yesterday.

Oh, young ho. 49ers could have used him yesterday. Broncos maybe if you charge the block. Like Brandon Aubrey is this luxury. Yeah. Yeah. But next year he'll be kicking extra points after Travis Hunter touchdowns. I wouldn't mind that.

And we'll be back in business. Is there any chance Deion is the coach? Yes. No. Point, counterpoint. I do have a new name for you guys. He's going to select an established head coach. Probably.

Mike LaFleur. Got a bad rap. Mike LaFleur, not Matt LaFleur. No. Who's Mike LaFleur? The exact same guy. He was an offensive intern for the Browns in 2014. Is he Matt LaFleur's brother?

Yeah. He was a Falcons offensive assistant in 2015 and 16. He was a 49ers pass game coordinator. Where is he now? The Rams offensive coordinator. Oh. I like what you've said so far. He did have a brief dalliance as the OC of the Jets In 21 and 22

It's the only time he's full time cold plays But he was also dealing with Zach Wilson That team was very bad That's a name that you want Not a name that you actually think they'd get No I just I swear to God Because Ben Johnson obviously a hot name I think we have Not a name that you actually think they'd get. No, I swear to God.

Because Ben Johnson, obviously a hot name. I think we have audio of this from the old days, bad radio days. I think I've got to pull this up here to confirm. The Cowboys played the Titans in 2018. I believe it was the game that either made Jubb proclaim he would get the Mohawk. I think so. They got beat. And that's the year they made the Amari trade. Sunday night football, Amari's first game.

It was his first game? Yeah, he caught a touchdown. Did they win? No. Okay. That year, because I was doing a lot of in-depth Cowboys stuff at that time, watching the Titans, I was obsessed with Matt LaFleur, who was a coordinator for one year for them,

after being the coordinator for the Rams for one year, in which he did not call plays. Because McVay's always going to do that. He's been the coach of the Packers since then. Let's just keep the nepotism thing. You know the Joneses love that. Your brother was around. You're a Shanahan guy.

You're kind of hot. Is he kind of hot too? He's kind of hot. He's not as hot as his brother. I know what that's like. So he might not look like enough of a football coach for Jerry. That's also very possible, whereas Mike Vrabel does. Yeah.

But Jerry wants offense and slinging it around a little bit. We need that excitement. Right. I don't know if Rabel exudes that. Blake, I don't know what the timer was, what we were going for here, but we made it this far without him mentioning Belichick. I think that it's important. Well, Belichick is someone to take over. I have an app that goes off

and it's like 30 days, 60 days you need to be reminded and rewarded on your progress I haven't even thought about adding Homelander as the as the head coach before we go to break let's just mention Sean Kernan over there at DallasFinancialPlanner.net.

He will help you plan those finances. Help me with my money, Sean Kernan. Like, yeah, if you've saved money in a 401K or IRA or 403B, I don't even know what that is, and you want to have more money and you want to not lose all your money, Sean can help you. He can help you with investments, retirement planning, overall tax efficiency, life insurance, long-term care insurance,

avoiding putting all your money into a Cowboys will go 5-0 to start the season as an investment. Yikes. So he's great. He's great to work with. We're working with him too, a little bit, me and the wife. And he wants you to know that he says if you happen to do my ad read today, don't make a huge deal about me being a veteran on Veterans Day. Yeah, I mean, you know. He said, I'm not really a hero no matter how much paperwork I told my soldiers to do.

But he did get a high-quality free education at West Point and a guaranteed job upon graduation. Hashtag sacrifice. Hashtag patriotism. So, yeah, support a veteran. Sean Kernan at DallasFinancialplanner.net. Last point, eh? Let's take a break on the stream and then we'll be back. The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Yeah, remember, go to dumbzone.com if you'd like to check out. That's where all the promo codes are and stuff. Didn't you order something this week off there, Jake? I ordered some loosies recently. Yeah. A couple sleeves. Everybody forgets the promo codes, so we're like, oh, what if we put it all in one place?

So we did, yes. Our website is dumbzone.com. Dumbzone.com. No puppet! Dumbzonemerch.com. I updated one thing on there this weekend, which was our live stream skedge. Skedge?

Sked? Anyway, because we changed it up a little bit, we're not going to do the December 29th game. That was a dumb idea in the first place.

I don't know. I mean, look, none of them are going to be, like, fun on their face, but we'll make them fun, folks. Yeah, I don't know.

We've moved it to the January 5th final game of the year against Washington, Pat, where you can see and be seen. We've moved it to the January 5th final game of the year against Washington, Pat, where you could see and be seen. We've got to see the big man out. Who's the – let's do this real quick. Who's the commander's backup?

They'll be playing the Eagles for the division. Oh, is it the hot guy? He's just saying the backup will be playing. Yeah. Oh, in the second half? No. Probably all – oh, you're just – you're saying they might be neck and neck. They will be playing. Oh, in the second half? No. Probably all. Oh, you're saying they might be neck and neck. They will be playing for playoffs.

Oh, they got Mariota, remember? That's right. That's right. What's the Notre Dame hot quarterback's name? A current quarterback? Nah, Sam Hartman. Was he hot? Oh, my goodness, buddy.

Even Video Man's riled up back there. He's a Commanders fan. Got to calm down. Commanders fan. But I had a pant full of bone the first time I saw Sam Hartman too, brother. I watched a little Mavs over the weekend before we get back to the Cowboys. I was going to say, do we need to introduce this with something big, like to say that we're going to do a daily thing of Mavs?

Sam Hartman. This is Sam Hartman, a picture of Sam Hartman. Yeah, what if Wolverine were Catholic and could throw a football? That's pretty good. That's right there. Brings me a little of Butcher. Yeah, we need – yeah, the Mavs deserve our attention. Okay, I'm getting a nod over here.

I thought we could keep going. Brad knows the boys. Of course. Yeah, we will be giving more of our time to the Mavs, probably starting tomorrow. Because you're watching all these games, you're doing a weekly Mavs video show. Yeah.

And they're still in it. They are still in it. It's not looking great right now. The last two. It had a rough stretch. It was a rough weekend. And it was against two good teams. The Suns have a great record.

I think it's a little bit of fool's gold because they're winning every close game and they're playing almost every game a close game. Last year they were the worst close game team in the league. However, they're probably closer to really good than really bad because they do have two generational scorers and they

also have a real point guard now. They have given up on the... We'll just see if Bradley Beal and Devin Booker can be point guards. Who's their point guard?. They have given up on the, we'll just see if Bradley Beal and Devin Booker can be point guards. Who's their point guard? Tyus Jones. Okay. And he runs their team. Runs it quite well. And then last night, it's Denver. Denver had a couple of wonky losses

already this year, but they're still very good. I didn't see any of this, but I did see a lot of backlash online about Luka at the very end yeah the really the last the two worst possessions that they've

played all season both happened at the end of the game what specifically did you see his shot when they were up two yeah it was not good what what was it let's see here I go back to my notes. Oh, I should pull this follow-up thing too.

They did – let me pull this back up. Because Kyrie was like going off at the end of the game there. I was focusing more on the defensive possession where they just gave one up. Like right down the lane, I think, to Jokic and got out-rebounded there as well. Which one are you talking about? I think what I read on Twitter was the Mavs were up by two, like 30 seconds left, and then Luka pulled up from the logo. He did have a deep three there, but it wasn't open shot.

I don't know. I didn't have a huge complaint about that. It's just what I saw on Mavs Twitter, which I'm finding out I can't listen to. Friday night was the Nurkic foul at the buzzer. So, Nurkic goes up for an offensive rebound for Phoenix, which, by the way, Nurkic took two 30-plus-foot threes in the first quarter of the game, at which point you're like, all right, if the non-shooting center that we're going to leave open

because they have Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant is now going to shoot from 30 feet out and hit, it's probably going to be a long night. But Dallas did climb back into that one and had the lead, and it was a crazy back-and and forth between Durant and Kyrie and Luka and Durant. And tie game, Suns ball, and they throw up a shot. The Mavs get a stop.

And yet another offensive rebound for the Suns, except they called the Mavs on a foul, fouling the offensive rebounder Nurkic. He goes to the line, hits one, and that's ballgame. And I don't think it was a foul. I actually think Nurk fouled whoever it was underneath the basket that he was trying to push to get position. But, you know, Gafford is a bad defensive rebounder.

He's just not good. And they're still without Lively. They're still without P.J. Washington. So, if you look at last night's game, they lose in the final possession of the game. They played two really good teams in the Western Conference down to the buzzer without two of their top six,

I would say. Because now you're getting a lot of Dwight Powell. And Dwight Powell has actually been fine. How important is Lively? I mean, it's... Is he their third best player? If you could lose Lively or Clay for 10 games? I would way rather

lose Clay. Yeah. Because even though Lively wasn't starting, he was still playing way more minutes than Gafford, and he doesn't have a hole in his game in closing. Gafford, really good rim protector. He's been pretty good on offense.

He will get an offensive rebound on you. Defensive rebounding, he is one of the worst in the NBA. His talk posted his on-off numbers. And since he came into the league, one of the worst rebounders in the game on the defensive end. He got bully-balled. That was after he had gotten bully-balled against Indiana. The first game Lively missed, the one I went to against Miles Turner.

He just had his way with him. Same thing last night. They can't rebound at all without Lively. Now, I will tell you, bright spot over the last couple games, if the vibes were right and the culture were there, bright spot over the last couple games. If you ever, if the vibes were right and the culture were there, if you ever wanted to start Najee Marshall instead of Klay Thompson, I'm now pretty convinced you could.

Because that's whose spot he would be taking. If PJ comes back and you wanted to bring Klay off the bench, Najee Marshall is a starting caliber player. He's been filling in very capably for P.J. Yeah, I always thought of him as a 3 and D guy. He can put it on the floor, and he will run the break.

He can pass. He's much more than what your Reggie Bullock or Dorian Finney-Smith is. Oh, yeah. The game that I was at, that was the game of the half-court alley-oop. Yeah. Yeah, he's got something. And I don't know that they'll ever get to a point where they want to bring Klay off the bench, but they could.

They should. Okay, I wanted to play one quick thing for you here. This is just a verbal crutch I noted. And it is from Doris Burke. This kind of has a Stephen Jones vibe to it. But this is Doris Burke. This kind of has a Stephen Jones vibe to it. But this is Doris Burke. Friday night she was on the call. Last night was a local game.

But watch, he's just going to push, push. Okay, so obviously you know what I'm going for here. But watch, he's just going to push, push. Kevin Durant's reaction was just like shake his head. Like I'm perplexed at whatever the message is. I mean, he was deep, folks. That's when you say shooter's touch. What?

Never noticed this. That was one game, and I wasn't paying that close of attention to the audio. Steven Jonesy. So it doesn't get any easier from here because next up they have Golden State. Here? No, they're on the road. They had the five straight at home and they lost three of two. So they go to Golden

State and then Utah, San Antonio, Oklahoma City. Chet's hurt. Oh, really? Yeah. And it might be for a while. That's the thing. If you're Oklahoma City, though, you're so good. Why can't the NBA start at Christmas?

It's not ready for this. They have so many guys that, honestly, when they took Chet, that probably was part of their thinking. Yeah, this guy might be hurt all the time. He's seven feet tall, and he moves a lot. Just ask Porzingis how that works. But they don't care because they're just going to get Cooper flagged next year. Dude, I saw that.

Yeah. No way. It's not getting any easier. Golden State, by the way. Because whose pick do they have? I can't recall off the top of my head. Golden State has only lost twice. So they're 8-2.

Their most recent loss of course was when they got their doors blown off by the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers 11-0 11-0 now, they won again so I guess my general upshot for the Mavs

is they're good you would have liked to get one of these two, but Kyrie is on fire. Luka's still not totally there. They're staying in these games without Lively and Washington. Both the teams they played were pretty much healthy.

Oh, and one more thing on the Suns game Friday night. They made Grayson Allen get jacked and now he looks even more like a Nazi. Made him get jacked. I guess they told him he was going to play the three, and now he looks like if Ted Cruz got on steroids. And we see this happen all the time.

He led the league in three-point shooting last year at like 41% on a pretty decent volume, and he can't shoot anymore. Really? At least not this year. Muscled up Grayson Allen has a busted look from outside. But, you know, you used to hear this about guys, right? You would even hear it sometimes before Tiger about golfers. Or I think the one you reference all the time, Dan, is baseball players.

Like, oh, you don't want them lifting weights. Well, Grayson Allen bulked up to a showing up at a rally degree and his jump shot went with it. So anyway, it's good. There's Jake's jumper. Okay. We need a name

for a daily basketball segment. And that's all I got thus far. All right, that's fine. Okay, want to go cowboy audio here? Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot.

Game audio. It's a Romo game, so we're streaming. So we have to go back and watch this game. And I think it was worth it. Yes. I need some Tony Romo in my life. I need the guys who have worked together for... What are we on now?

Are we on like year seven or something of Nance and Romo? Yeah. No chemistry. None at all. Somehow not friends at all. I don't know how they could be this far into this and still just not have any idea of what each other are going to do. That means they never will.

So let's start with... I want to end with this one. There's a lot of good stuff. Let's, I guess we could just go back and forth. But we could start at the start where Romo is going to make an early joke. We've got a quick third, Nate. Another big thing again is that left tackle with Guyton Al banged up with a neck and shoulder injury.

And Awesome Richard steps in. New quarterback, new left tackle. It's a lot to ask. It's a lot. And we're hoping that Awesome Richards can be awesome today, but you've got to help him. Now, you might think Nance was giving a courtesy laugh there. I think Nance really thinks that funny.

That's Nance at Augusta right there. You wrote that in the hotel room, which the funniest thing about all those Nance lines is they're written out and delivered in a way where he's like, this will kill. Because you could tell Romo, whatever he said before the line was merely perfunctory. He just had to get that out of the way. So awesome will be awesome. Oh, yeah.

He said it up. More Romo comedy. That was Bond. It was one of those who helped. This is the Zeke fumble, I believe. That was Bond. It was one of those who helped pop it out. He gets a shoulder on it.

Gardner Johnson and then Bond right there. We just talked about her under the radar. Well, he's above the radar now with that play. Yeah. On the radar? I mean, he's right. It doesn't make sense that under the radar, the opposite is on the radar.

By the way, the fan was calling for you to get back in the game. Okay, so they showed a crowd shot of a guy holding a sign that said, like, put Romo in the game, something like that? Mm-hmm. By the way, the fan was calling for you to get back in the game. There was a Romo who made his NFL debut today, the kicker for the Vikings. Vikings winning down in Jacksonville. John Parker Romo kicked four field goals

for the Vikings in their victory. So big day for Romo on the football field. He's my new favorite player. Just I've been following his career since he was a little kid. No belation. Since you told me earlier. Elliot, good.

Yeah, hilarious. Hilarious. More Romo. Former Cowboy quarterback and offensive coordinator going against him. Paul's on Saquon for no game. I'm going to give him a lot of credit. Talking about Kelly Moore. You know, he got hit a little bit when he left.

They needed to run the ball more, right? They needed to run the ball more. He got hit a little bit when he left. They needed to run the ball more, right? They needed to run the ball more. And, you know, he had top five offenses a lot when he was in Dallas. And, you know, Tigers don't normally change their stripes often, but he, Zebras, whatever you want to go with it. Oh, no. What? You know what they say.

Zebras never change their stripes. You know, tigers don't normally change their stripes often, but he, zebras, whatever you want to go with it, but he did, and he's... But he did. Let's see. What a dork. More... Okay, now let's go to Nance.

Nance has bits. Let me do one Romo one real quick. Oh, I'm sorry. I should have paid better attention. I got a little bit of Romo here. This is, you know, a guy was. Because I'm going to end with a Romo and Nance not having any chemistry. He's been in the booth for a while, but he was still a quarterback in this era.

His knowledge is very relevant. He's an expert. That for a while, but he was still a quarterback in this era. His knowledge is very relevant. He's an expert. That's why he's there. Well, your job right now on third and medium. There's third and one to three we call short. Four to seven is medium. Eight plus.

Long, third and long. So this is third and medium. You've got to watch out for C.B. Lamb. Okay, yeah. So I was confused what the cutoff was for each one. Very important. 15 isn't short? Or medium.

8 plus, what could they call it? Bring you guys inside the huddle a little bit here. This one's funny because, you know, there are hard names to pronounce. Leofow, it's an islander name, a Samoan, Tongan, Polynesian. I'm not sure, but it phonetically looks like Leofau. It's L-I-A-F-A-U. But it's not Romo's job to know that, right?

And now he's right down the barrels. The ball was not high and tight with three points. And Leofau comes up with the fumble recovery. All right, so the quick but not that quick of a double up of change right here. And then Nance wants to help him. Leofo. Leofo comes up with the fumble recovery. Look at that ball come out, and they give it right back to the Cowboys.

Gift returned. Wow. Boy, is he back or what? Does he make a difference? As you said, Leofowl with the recovery. That isn't what he said at all, actually. He set up at the six-yard line. That's not what he said.

As you eventually said. Kind of. Got a little bit of a Romo special here, and then I'll throw it back to you. I've just missed this, you know. We don't get a lot of Troy and Joe. Now we don't get a lot of Jim and Tony. And we won't for the rest of the year. We will not.

You know the NBA meme where when somebody does something, there's that picture of Adam Silver, and it definitely isn't a real quote, but you better get ready to learn Chinese, buddy. I feel like you need that for the Cowboys this year, but with whoever the fourth team is.

Moose Johnston. Yeah, better get ready to learn Moose, buddy. But I'd miss this Romo bit. Throw a little soft go route that only the receiver's looking, right? He can adjust his body to it. Hurst does that incredibly well. And now you're like, should we bring the safety down or keep him back? Now you're like, what do we do?

He is a teenage girl. They're like, do we run? And then if you're a Cowboy fan, you're like, but what if they pass? Just say the sentence. He likes to joke around, but if he brings Nansen to do his jokes... Anger will be able to pass the set. Don't touch it. Let it go to zero.

Yeah, right. Okay, he's yelling at the Cowboys. Dumb play at the end of the half. They were punting, right? Yeah, they did down the ball with a second left. Yeah, like, let it bounce. There's no one near you at all. There's no one near you at all.

There's no one around you at all. Anger will be able to pass the steps. Don't touch it. Let it go to zero. Yeah, right. All right, clock operator, just click that to zero real quick. Nance needs a bathroom break. No, no, I don't. See, he's like, no, I don't.

That's ridiculous. Why is it insulting? Say that. But will Nance just leave it at that, or will he think of something that might be funny? Nance needs a bathroom break. No, no, I don't. Maybe I need a hot dog break.

That's the comedy? Oh, my God. So lame. Me, I'm Jim Nance. I don't piss, but I eat hot dogs. I care so much about broadcasting, I will poop my pants. Nance does have his own brand of comedy, though. Some amazing shots from today's game provided by Nationwide.

Now the sun's not a factor anymore. The sun beginning to set here in Arlington, and the Cowboys, their season. Might be seeing the Sun set on any of their hopes. Hey-o. I have no room to talk. I used let's close the curtains on the season line this morning in a column. 6'6", wide receiver. The tallest receiver selected in an NFL draft in the last decade.

Taken in the sixth round back in the spring. And he has his first career touchdown catch. That was impressive. A lot of good things that play. The sound of Philadelphia. The Eagles are soaring 21-6. I don't know that. Why is that the sound of Philadelphia?

Do you know, Rob? Yeah, it's... Is that some Philadelphia song? I'm sure it's a Philadelphia soul. Yeah. Philadelphia freedom? No. All right.

Anyway. It's because of Philadelphia. Obviously, that was something that, like, Nance probably told his production crew, but you've got to have the... Everybody knows that song. And Romo stepped on it. The OJs?

What year are we talking about? Late 60s, early 70s. And by the way, I have some of the OJs on the playlist. While they are known as Philadelphia Soul, now I'm looking at their Wikipedia page, they are from Canton, Ohio.

Okay. Philadelphia Soul. Now I'm looking at their Wikipedia page. They are from Canton, Ohio. Okay. Let's see here. Oh, wait. I missed this one. Cocktail party Nance. He eats so much small food, I bet. Did I play this one, Blake? The Romo

going back in smothered? This guy loves hors d'oeuvres. No. Okay. This is regarding that sign, right? Yes. Back to a restless Arlington. Oh. What do you think? You ready?

Oh, yeah. I'd last a... Okay, so this is the Romo going back in. Okay, they come back from break. They see the sign that says put Romo in. And then they're going to show them in the booth. And Romo is going to be like warming his arm up. He's kind of stretching it out.

He's thinking about he might be doing this. What do you think? You ready? Oh, yeah. I'd last a – Oh, let me just get – If it wasn't for that knee or something, I'd have a career or something, but I'd last about two drives.

I do remember the last time you... Okay, number one. No, you wouldn't. Two drives? Is he lasting two drives? He hasn't played in seven years? No. And his knee was never the issue.

His back, and he broke a collarbone. I have a feeling that he's trying to do comedy. That's what everybody always says. The guy that didn't make the league. Yeah, Uncle Rico style. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't for that knee or something.

I had a career or something, but I'd last about two drives. I do remember the last time you played was a Week 17 game. You were injured that year, 2017, at Philadelphia, and you were 7-for-7. At the end of the game, their starters were still in there. Your last pass of your career was a touchdown pass to Terrence Williams. So you're still, to me, you're still on that streak against Philadelphia. It's just seven years apart.

Exactly. So go in. Actually, it's Trey Lance is going to go. Well, here's the Trey Lance time. Everyone gets their opportunities. I had mine. We all have ours. And now it's Trey Lance's turn right here.

And this is an important moment for you had mine. We all have ours. And now it's Trey Lance's turn right here. And this is an important moment for you, really. You can grab this. You can get through. And he is completely smothered. You know what? Everyone's got a chance. This right here is Trey Lance's.

He's smothered. All right. Nance has cool references. He references the OJs from 1968. Cowboy linemen, football follies, and maybe Philadelphia has it. Oh, my goodness. The Keystone Cops just broke out here on the field, and the Cowboys have yet another low light.

Football follies, the Bad news bears, and right there. What? That says it all. Blake not familiar with the Keystone Cops? I'm like old and I don't really know what the Keystone Cops is. I only know it because it gets referenced in low light packages where somebody can't recover a fumble. Here's another reference I really don't understand at all, but it's when...

Okay, so first of all, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are both standing on the side of them with their helmet on. Now, Cooper Rush had been being Cooper Rush throughout the game, so you knew if Trey Lance has his helmet on, that means it's time for him to go in the game. Now, we didn't realize at home that... Actually, McCarthy has this grand plan for Cooper him to go in the game. Now, we didn't realize at home that actually McCarthy has this grand plan for Cooper Rush to go in if it gets into – Second, third, and long.

Yeah, like long. And long is – Eight and more. Right, eight plus, medium, more of a four to seven yards. Anyway, here is another cool reference by Jim Nance that I don't really get. I think Cooper's coming. But I do want to see Lance. I do.

I really feel like it's going to be Cooper. I think it is going to be Cooper. No, it's not. Oh, my goodness. There you go. The crowd's got a little clapping coming. That was like the old to tell the truth, kind of like the double fake pump. And who's going to stand up?

It's going to be Trey Lance. What's happening? Let's look that up. I have zero idea what he's like. I have at least heard of Keystone Cops. I don't even know where the reference was because he said like five different things. The double pump and the. There's some Keystone Cops for you. Yeah, no. To me, yeah, it's because he said like five different things. The double pump and the – He said he said cops were –

Yeah, no. To me, yeah, it's like Charlie Chaplin and Ian. It's just – Oh, and right back out. It's just a little package they had for Trey because Cooper returns. You see Ajama right there does a great job splitting the defense and they get called for a hold and you see the interior of this defense really dominating

but they have packages for them that's what they're showing here they're not just going to them and they had that set up this week I think it was a little late they say some great gifts come in tiny packages not that time

second and 16. What? God. Hell, I don't know, man. By the way, to tell the truth, it was a game show from 1956. Oh, my God. 1956, a game show? Yeah, you remember.

This just sounds funny when Jim Nance says this. Country music's hottest rising star, the Grammy-nominated Shabuzy. Shabuzy. Shabuzy. I'm sorry. Let's see. What else can we give you? D-O-double-G is in the house.

Says this is a joke. Dajin. Oh, he just lost his footing. I was going to talk about how athletic. He's so athletic. He's explosive. A guy that in high school in Iowa won the state championships in the 100-meter and the long jump.

He didn't jump high there. Not that time. You don't 100 meter and the long jump. He didn't jump high there. Not that time. You don't jump high in the long jump. No. And okay, so this is the one I want to end with. Unless you guys got another one you want to... By the way, they have to go... Huh?

Guessing game? You want me to play that? I'm doing the George Bush thing. They have to go way over the top on Cooper Dijon. Do you want me to hit guessing game for you? We promised he was fast. We promised he's actually that fast. Yeah, because they had all these graphics made for him and stuff.

Yeah, and he's white. I got a question for you. See if you can get it. Who's the most famous Penn State Nittany Lion in the game today? You play it down there. You got it. That's a pretty easy one. Let's see if Mike Arnold can cut to him about right now.

Who do you think? Right there. Not Darius Slay, but Saquon Barkley. By the way, here's a trick question. Yeah. Where did Micah Parsons go? Uh-oh. That was a tough one.

Who got it? They were both. Okay. We'll give them a tie. I never. That was sneaky, right? Yeah. We're on it. Mike's got it. Arnie's got it. Okay. We'll give them a tie. I never. That was sneaky, right? Yeah. We're on it.

Mike's got it. Arnie's got it. Yeah, they're both legends, and you can say that's a tie. Second and five. What's happening? What's happening? That's the fun. The mystery is you might have forgot where Micah Parsons went to college.

Gotcha. Oh, you rascal. It's that classic chemistry between Nance and Romo. And Nance doesn't answer. He's like, oh, let's see if the director can spot him.

Ah, yes. Saquon Barkley. Okay, so again, they're not on the same page. And Saquon will work his way into this last cut. This is where they show uh george bush in the stands okay and then nance will tell you why he's there and stuff and this is nance's wheelhouse he loves he loves presidents presidents and veterans day by the

way earlier today president ge George W. Bush, there Mrs. Bush, participating in the coin toss. And on Friday and Saturday, at his ranch in Crawford, the Bush Center hosted their annual warrior ride, welcoming some remarkable men and women who have served in our armed forces for a couple of days of mountain biking with the former president. It's just so special to see his commitment to the Warriors, the Wounded Warriors,

the golf event. That was the 10th annual. Okay, so it was a golf event. We got to remember that, too. So special. Not the bike ride event? He's talking about the golf one you said? I'm just saying.

He mentioned the bike riding, but he also mentioned golf. Like, if you combine golf with America and soldiers and a president. That's the 10th annual Warrior ride at the Ranch in Crawford. Here's a second one, Barkley. He's got a first down after a gain of a bound. Okay, so he was waxing on about president bush the events the warriors all this kind of stuff and then saquon barkley gets the ball and we're

back to football i think i guess romo is thinking here's a second one barkley he's got a first down after a gain of about six. So, Romo's going to comment on that. He's so impressive. I mean. Okay, as he says that, the camera back on George Bush. Uh-oh. So, at first, Romo wants to talk about how great Barkley looks today,

which he did, right? He's looked good all year, but especially against the Cowboys defense. He's so impressive. I mean, he's also very impressive. Well, their initiative there is really for veterans to know how much they're cared about. And if they need any more information about that, veterancheckin.org is the place you go. And then Mrs. Bush, looking great, enjoying this cowboy action. They always make it for this game on the Salute to Service weekend and did the coin toss today without a hitch.

Okay, so this is, this is, Romo has kind of been knocked down. Little rolled up newspaper, hit him on the nose, like, ah! You're trying to jump up on the table and grab that little Barkley piece and tell me about football. I was in the middle of talking about wounded warriors. I had to give the website. Yeah, we didn't give the website, so he kind of knocked him back down, and he's feeling like he's got to get back on

his master's side. His master, Jim Nance, right? On the salute to service weekend, he did the coin toss today without a hitch. He loves sports. He loves America. One of the great human beings you ought to meet.

That's his attempt, right? That's his attempt to get back at the good graces. You want me? I'm the color commentator. You say one thing, then I add to it. He loves sports.

He loves America. One of the great human beings who have ever like human beings oh wait let me get the coin toss today without a hitch well i mean who can do the whole yeah he tossed a coin yeah and it just went Usually, those things take three or four tosses. I mean, you just see chaos when it comes to coin tosses. Not with old Bushy. Remember when they tried Saddam? It was ridiculous.

He kept just dropping it. On the salute to service weekend, he did the coin toss today without a hitch. He loves sports. He loves America. One of the great human beings you'll ever meet. Gosh. One of the great human beings you'll ever meet. Gosh. One of the great human beings. Nothing going on upstairs.

So there we are. We'll continue to follow the Cowboys throughout the season, won't we? Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, to some degree. I mean, if old Big Mike can get these guys... Really, it's about going 500 from here. Like, if he does that, that's kind of a great job.

I will tell you this. That going forward, on games where we don't have the stream, I will not be watching the Cowboys live. I will watch it for work. Which means I can bang through all the commercials. I can do it the next morning. I don't care about the outcome.

Half the fun of watching it live is you don't know what happened, and hey, what's going to happen? I don't care anymore to watch it live. I want to watch the rest of the NFL. The rest of the NFL is awesome. Well, if you would like to watch us watch it live. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're going to do the stream next Monday night.

On our streams, it'll be fun. Yeah, I didn't mention that before when I said I updated that too. We're doing it next Monday night. That'll be great. We've done a lot of weekends in a row. I don't like it. It's a lot. Boy, you had a lot of complaints today.

I think it's time for occasionally. He's not impervious to boy. You complaining? 11 o'clock too early. What a weekend. I feel him. I'm right there with him. Well.

I guess some of us could use like a month away. When does it run out? Is it ever? Listen. I knew if I just. I was wondering that. I'm doing my events. Dan was going to slam it home. I Is it ever? Listen. I knew if I just. I was wondering that. I'm doing my events. Dan was going to slam it home.

I'm doing my events to. I know. No, I was wondering that about. So I was wondering that about your life now in general. Yeah. Because with us last week, you went to the Julie Charity event, which I really wanted to go there. But you said you're going to take that hit.

You're going to do it. I did not describe it as, quote, taking a hit. But, no, I didn't want to go. Let's be honest. I didn't want to do it, and you were going to drive downtown, take your evening, and it was very nice of you to do that, because they asked both of us at the same time. They're like, hey, wouldn't you guys want to help? And I was like, you know, all of a sudden, I can't.

I'm going through the canyon here. I can't. And Jake's like, I'll do it, like right away. And he's like, you know, you guys did 30 days without me. Maybe this is worth one of those days. And it was worth more than that when that night I was sitting there at 9 o'clock thinking, I'm glad I didn't have to drive downtown. I'm all dressed up, ready to do something.

So I was wondering how this must be like with your home life too because I was thinking about how your wife went out to go to a comedy show Friday night. And it's like, hey, you left me at home with the kids and all the responsibility and the bills and everything for like a whole month and blah, blah, blah. So whatever. the whole month and blah, blah, blah. And I'm, so whatever. How many of those nights does she get?

Or is it kind of never ending? Yeah, my answer was going to be. Because yours is a real life. My expectations. Ours was like a month off work. Right. But it's not like the kids and I have to explain it to my daughter. And I got to. Which we did not do,

but well, you know, eventually she'll, yeah. Yeah. I'm saying like, is there ever a time? It's kind of like if you,

if, uh, probably one guy gets caught cheating or something, it's like forever. Are you, yeah. Do they ever shake that? People stay together after cheating,

but do they, does the spouse that caught you ever really totally shake it? I don't know, but I know this. If the deal is like, hey, I want you to take care of the kids on this night or that night or whatever, I'm having the time of my life. It's way more fun now. Everything is more fun to me now. I know it's gay, but I'm just saying, like if she were to tell me tonight,

hey, I got to go, I'm doing this or whatever, like I'm not like, ugh, going to handle this again. I'm fired up to do everything that I do now. So I don't even view it as like, I got to pay off these debts for what a piece of shit I was. I'm actually excited to be trustworthy enough that she's like, I can leave. To be honest.

So no, it's not a thing. It's fun. Is the liquor cabinet... Do you have a liquor cabinet? No, I never have. I didn't really keep liquor at home. That was never really my thing. Growing up we had a liquor cabinet. I think that was just a matter of course. Yeah, I think a lot of people still do.

Some people still will build the little bar. Yeah. Mortgage market. Yeah. It's a very cool looking little bar, but it's just not my scene. I bet Rob kind of has a bar. Oh, for sure. He's definitely got a bunch of barely opened or touched bottles of brown.

How about Wine Cellar? Wine Cellar is a whole different level. Now, Wine Fridge, which we actually, I think, will have because it was kind of part of... I think we're going to have one, but I'm just going to, you know... What's a humidor? That's for cigars.

Could you put weed in there? Would that be good for yes I don't know like what is it make cigars last longer? yeah so they don't crunching up real flour these days?

no no I'm not but I'm just saying would that be something for the few I'm trying to see how the pot generation could

become you know are they going to be giving out joints at the grocery store and all that kind of stuff? It says you should not put your weed in a humidor. Oh, well, now you know. I guess he asked Nora's best friend. I did.

Oh, we should do the news, and it's going to be brought to you by Lone Star Beer and Lone Star Light. Not sure if you're familiar with Lone Star Light, Blake, but I certainly am. They are always here with us during our watching parties. We love ourselves some Lone Star Beer, the national beer of Texas celebrating 140 years of brewing in Texas. Authentically Texan.

V-Day. V-Day. Generation V. I started watching Generation V this weekend. And the feel good story is going to end right here on the Dumb Zone News Desk James Bainham

who is a senior lives in a living community in Garland he is one of only 66,000 remaining World War II veterans. He is 100 years old. We are honoring him today. He just turned 100 earlier this year. One of his fellow crewmen died recently at the age of 103,

leaving James as the sole survivor of the crew. Car wreck? Yeah, I doubt it. Heroin? Transition surgery gone wrong. If you make it to 100, are you like, alright, I'll do heroin then? Yeah.

Or do you think that would actually kill you? You might, yeah, but I'm saying 80. If you hit 80, you're going to go, all right, let's tie one off. Is that what they call it when they do your arm? Yeah, that's one way to do it. One thing that I didn't tell you guys about the Hab, maybe I did. We should have another one of those coming this week um have episodes but part of the time fill was you know look a lot of it was helpful some of it was kind of time fill

part of the time fill was sometimes basically it was like health class where for this 55 minute block we're just gonna run a nova video or like a pbs video like your basketball coach would in like ninth grade or eighth grade health i learned a lot about heroin and about oxy and fentanyl and crack is it bad it's reports early returns are not super positive okay but it's but also you didn't have your phone and computer, so you're, like, taking in anything. Yeah, no, I'm like, oh, that's interesting. An hour video, I want in. I didn't think about it.

Like, that is... How they make it is pretty interesting. Oh, they showed you how to make heroin? Yeah. That seems counterproductive. Well, I don't know. Yeah. Overall.

Interesting documentaries on drugs. I learned a lot about, hey, this one spikes your dopamine levels this much compared to alcohol or sex meth boy that seems like a fun time really get spiked up on that yeah

quite a bit is that the one where people lose their teeth and stuff yeah it happens like I said there was a gentleman there the old guy that you referenced before he he had no teeth. And I don't think it was because he was old. This is a wild story out of Wiley.

Uh-oh. Blake lives in Wiley. I don't know if this was popping on your Nextdoor or anything. By the way, I think Nextdoor has just been taken over by the Ring community app. Did you guys know this? Did you hear about this, Kev? I don't have a Ring doorbell. You can, like, comment by the Ring community app. Did you guys know this? Did you hear about this, Kev? I don't have a Ring doorbell. You can, like, comment on the Ring?

Yeah. Like, I use DFW security, so I have a camera from them, but it doesn't have... I guess everybody who has a Ring has a message board. My stepdad was telling me about it. Like, oh, Mexican out here. Look out. Because that's what Nextdoor turned into.

Our buddy KJ used to troll it all the time when he'd just be walking his dog and he'd see like suspicious black man in blue hat. I think he was trying to break into my car. It would be about him? Yeah. And he would just comment right when he got home like, I'm walking my dog. I live three houses down from here. But a woman in Wiley, a mother.

Do you know this story? Yeah. My wife has kept me abreast. Okay. So she's been missing. She was missing for like four days, right? Yeah. She was located on Friday one mile from her home, taken to a local hospital and then

reunited with her family. She was found Friday at 5.15. How old is she? It just says mom. I mean, she looks to be my age, maybe a little older. So not like your mom. No. I don't think so. A mom can be a wide...

Yeah, but they don't typically describe like if my mom went missing they'd say a grandma yeah left home without the phone left home without the car what was the deal then it doesn't really say it just says she was found severely dehydrated

but otherwise in good health taken to a hospital for treatment reunited with her family last seen at home last Sunday. What's your wife saying? 10 o'clock at night and then reported missing the next morning. Bro, you want to talk about one of the most nervous phone calls as a husband you probably ever have to make? Assuming in this situation you didn't kill your wife.

They're going to look at you right away. Yeah. He makes that call Monday morning at 630. because they're going to look at you. Assuming in this situation you didn't kill your wife. They're going to look at you right away. Yeah. He makes that call Monday morning at 6.30. He's like, hey, I know how this looks, but I saw my wife last night, and now she's gone. My wife has fallen into the Wiley Facebook group. That's why I'm doing this story. I want to know the – Spill the tea, Blake.

And it's just like... It's the ultimate I'm not listening. I catch Wiley woman disappeared. And then during the stream, she texts me with four exclamation marks. They found the Wiley woman. As she had been come to be known. And she never texts me while she's at work or anything,

but she made time to tell me that they found this Wiley woman who's on screen. Dan, interested? Sure. So, the husband... I would love to have a wife that just disappeared. Yeah, you might not even have called the cops. Four days, she doesn't have her phone, so she doesn't call you or anything. What were the Facebook posts?

I mean, is it just like, we're going to find, bring her home. Yeah. Bring Melanie home. Keep a lookout. Does anyone know her? Whatever. What could have happened? What if she pops up on, is Milf Hunter still cooking?

That guy? Well, I hope so. It's been a long time since I heard that name. You know how crushed I was when I found out that wasn't real? Dude, me too. At first when I saw it, they just went to like a Home Depot or something. Yeah. And they're out there in the plant area.

Next thing you know. Then they're in his apartment. Yeah. Having sex. Like him and two ladies that he met. I'm like, oh my God, this is great. He's not even a very attractive guy. And it took me like a year and a half or two years.

And then I saw one of those ladies in another video. It's like seeing your teacher at the supermarket when you were a kid. Well, that's how she got her start. That's what I was thinking, but apparently not. No. Trust me. He looked into it. Yeah, she was in more videos.

This woman in particular was scheduled to have heart surgery soon. It doesn't say a date, and I don't know how that would play into this, but a mile from your home? Are you saying it's an Elizabeth Smart situation? I'm saying, are you saying that? Yeah, I'll say it. Oh, this is a... You might want to look around and say to yourself, hey, I've been here before. Yeah.

But we're not saying she was kidnapped. No, there has to be some sort of mental health thing where she was confused or something. To just walk out, no phone, no meds, no wallet, no keys. Just go wandering. And the weather was getting a little rough last week. A little chilly. Four days is a long time out there on the streets, though, fellas.

The streets are wily. What do you think she did? Survived. Gotta do whatever you have to do. This is an interesting one. Fort Worth police say that a man and a woman who were not connected, and I believe that means they didn't know each other not that they were not Siamese

twins. How are we doing with Siamese twins, folks? They gotta be down, right? Well, I just mean we use conjoined, right? Not anymore. We're done with that language bit. Who's gonna police me now? Yeah.

But, like, do they even exist you don't hear about it a lot conjoined twins I guess you never really did yeah well you hear about it when they're being separated like I think there was one

in Fort Worth or Dallas recently where they had a successful separation like is anyone just joined by like a finger and it's not a big deal like it's always kind of a big deal

that would still be a big deal would it like yeah that would suck I mean it would. It's always kind of a big deal. That would still be a big deal. Would it? Yeah. That would suck. I mean, it would basically be just as big of a deal. Not as if your brain or your head, then it's like, well, will it survive? Have you ever seen one with the head? Just a news story that they had to separate.

Yeah, but they each had a head. Right, but it was concerned. If they separated them, would one of them just die? Correct, yeah. That is a head. Right, but it was a concern. Like, if they separated them, would one of them just die? Correct, yeah. That is a concern. But if you're just doing the finger, you're not too worried about that. But also, for a second, I was thinking of a scenario where you had, like, a Goro from Mortal Kombat. Where they have one head and two human bodies fully conjoined.

So there's four legs, four arms. I'm not familiar with this character. Well, he had eight arms and legs. Okay. So in your scene, it's the reverse Abby and Brittany. They have one of everything but two heads. Yeah. In any case, let's go back to this story

where there's a man and a woman who were not connected. They crashed into each other early this morning, late last night, 2.30 a.m. One had a jar of peanut butter and one was holding a chocolate bar. No, but they both were arrested for DWI. Ah. So we had a twofer. 26-year-old woman, 21-year-old man. Both driving under the influence.

Dude, I hope they end up getting married and they can tell their grandchildren about how they met. How they met? Yeah. That's along the same lines of the Kirstie Alley story, right? When her parents died on the way to a Halloween party except they were dressed as a KKK member and like a black woman. And for some reason she told that story to

Barbara Walters. Now there was also a good Samaritan who was struck in this ordeal as well. That's no fun. Unless he gets to be like the ring bearer. Are there bad Samaritans?

That's a good question. Or does the word Samaritan imply good? I don't know what Samaritan is. I think this, yeah. It's biblical. Oh. So it's redundant to say good. I think it probably is, yeah. It's referring to say good I think it probably is yeah It's referring to where they're from

Yes Some area Some area I laughed Yeah City That's where they meant to fill that in The bible writer

They never did That's where they meant to fill that in, the Bible writer. They never did. All right. Oh, hey, by the way, Rob informed me of this the other day. I missed this in our state legislature in the 62nd District. Of course, we're speaking of Shelly Luther. 75% of the vote. Boy, man, nowadays, this is very King of Comedy.

Old movie, good reference. Jim Nance would love it. Is that De Niro? That's De Niro. Kind of gets famous for doing something terrible, but then ends up, after getting out of jail, getting his own talk show or something. Is this like the meta thing of the Joker that De Niro's playing?

Yes. But the Joker's kind of... Yeah, De Niro was the mentally unstable guy who did something kind of crazy, took the Carson of the day, kidnapped him, ended up going to jail, but then when he got out, he ended up getting on TV and stuff. And I think it was an early look at society and media and what we value by uh i think it was scorsese that did it that he was you know thinking in the 70s boy this is a weird

thing whereas now that is what society is now you get in trouble for something or whatever or you're the the guy at the parade route with the gun him and his wife you end up getting your own fame now and your own thing or hawk to a girl now gets her own you know it it all leads from just silly you know whatever yeah not like you've trained to do something now all of a sudden you're just doing it and i will society values it can i try to do something, now all of a sudden you're just doing it. I will. Society values it. Can I try to do counterpoint that I'm not sure that I even believe in myself? I'm not really counterpoint. I'm not even making a statement. I'm just saying that's what the movie was. But yes.

Like Shelly Luther now, all of a sudden gets a national stage and it's like, well, I can run for office because people have heard of my name. I mean, to some extent I wonder if that's, you know, because I've listened to a lot. I'm tired of it, too.

So tired of it, I shouldn't talk about it at all. But, like, Trump winning. And I'm listening to Brian Curtis interviewing people. And why did Trump win? And, oh, I think it was this. And I think, well, she was only a candidate for 100 days. Or, you know, we can blame Biden. We can blame her. We can blame her.

We can blame something. And then I heard Ethan Strauss talking to somebody about why did Trump win? And they were discounting just the enormous magnetism and fame of Trump. In the sense that he can walk into a stadium. And if you saw him walk in, even you, even us who would not vote for Trump, we'd be like,

yeah, like we'd be yelling, you know, it'd be cool to see him. Yeah. Like it's, it's a thing. He's really,

really famous. And, and I used to think this growing up, you know, guys would get voted as a judge, but they had like the same name as the guy who was the mayor or something. Like, and yes, he was his brother. Or, you know, like a name value.

Like a Kennedy could just probably get elected somewhere because his name is Kennedy. Like, you look at those things that you're voting for. And a lot of times it's like, well, I don't know anything about them. I'll, you know, if you weren't going Democrat or Republican, you would vote on name possibly or name value. And then Trump, like, just think he's incredibly famous,

you know? So I don't know if, if that's no, I don't know anything we were talking about here. Shelly Luther though. I will say she did get famous for making a political stand. You know what I mean? So, again, I'm not on

Shelly Luther's side here, but my point is, as silly as it seems, because she got herself arrested because she wanted to keep her North Dallas salon open, and then Craig Habit, who put the measures in place, bailed her out, and then he was able to turn that into

a very interesting super super weird but she did engage in an act of civil disobedience which fired people for a certain cause up government overreach and people have been getting elected

over things much smaller from that same vein forever. That's a good point. It's really more of like when Arnold became governor. And you're like, what? Right. I mean, heck, even Trump. Even Trump being famous, it wasn't like he was...

Right. No, you're right. She did something that people identified with. She's back in business. That's something that people identified with. She's back in business. And I'm seeing here that... What is this? It's pronounced Bang Bros has pitched a double feature with Shelly Luther and Beth Van Doon.

So they're waiting to hear back from their camps. Is that real or did you just make that up? You tell me. Okay. Because, you know, Pornhub will, like, offer up a million dollars for a Huk Tua girl or something. I'm waiting on it. And then I think I had one more for you here.

Oh, phew. It's our every couple month notice that these mountain lion sightings up north are not stopping. There's a particular one that is on the move through Collin and Denton counties. And the thing is now, to reference

this again, everyone has the camera out front. Maybe this is actually really common. In trailer parks people have them. Probably because it's a target for theft this is big mom talk in the area too i bet it is is your wife talking mountain lions my wife is no okay that's in her facebook group

she's she was telling me all about the mountain lion this weekend this particular one seems to be quite the menace. Well, it's a mountain lion. Well, yeah, but I mean, it's like terrorizing the entire area. Not too far away from where Shelly Luther represents. Maybe she'll have him killed. Where at? This is, let's see.

Those are the two counties. Like I said, Collin and Denton County. There was one seen in Frisco observe walking through the area there's like I said there's video here from Brady Smith's

RV park near a state park up there that's one of the I'm an RV guy boy you are but park up there. That's one of the... I'm an RV guy. Boy, you are, but... I mean, I traveled in an RV more than you did.

Yeah, he just got you there. Overall? Like in life? No. In the past 12 months. Thank you. I just don't like to besmirch the name of RV guy by letting you claim it you know I pooed

in an RV on accident it was definitely an accident but this is going to become more and more of a factor in everybody's world as we expand all the way to Oklahoma. Critters? Yeah. We're rooting them out. There's nowhere for them to go. Deport them. Send them back to Africa, yeah. That's right. That's probably enough. Mike Tyson's fighting Jake Paul this

weekend. Oh, yeah. There's a bunch of news articles about that in the local rags, but I am done. What are the betting odds for that?

Oh, speaking of betting odds, this is not news, but somebody did post the next Cowboys coach odds from BetOnline about an hour ago.

Who's at the top? Top five. Or I'll go from five to one. Plus 900. Cliff Kingsbury. Like it? Plus 800. Brian Flores,

who apparently, whoever made these odds, has never met Jerry Jones. Don't like it. Brian Flores? No way. Why? Because he sued the league?

Yeah, there's just no way it'll happen. It's ridiculous. No, but his teams in Miami did play pretty hard until they were kneecapped, and the Vikings defense is pretty elite. Now, could Jerry call him for the courtesy interview? I don't think Brian Flores is going to answer those calls. I'm just saying, would Jerry put him on that list? Sure.

Number three at plus 600, Bill Belichick. Now we're cooking. Number two at plus 500, Lions OC Ben Johnson. Give me Dion. Number one at plus 300. Hang on. I'm saying Dion. Blake? What do you think? on. I'm saying Dion. Blake?

What do you think? No, it's not Dion. You don't think Dion's the number one choice? Number one. Cliff, Flores, Belichick, Ben Johnson. It can't be Zimmer. There's no way Zimmer. He's tired of him.

Bring Garrett back. Or Vrabel? Vrabel. Vrabel. Vrabel. Plus 300. I wouldn't mind that. He could beat up McCarthy. All right, there's the news.

All right. Mike Tyson's plus 210. The Dumbs Don't Do Like and Subscribe. Fake odds. It's right here. Do like and subscribe. Fake odds. It's right here. You can bet on him right now. Our sales people are saying, would you potentially be open to hosting a viewing of the fight somewhere?

But it's not like a done deal or anything. Not even half a done deal. But the fight's not... I don't know, dude. I'm down. When a done deal. But the fight's not... I don't know, dude. I'm down. When's it going to start? Like at 11? Yeah. I got to go drive to Frisco or whatever to stand there.

But if we do end up doing this event, we'd like to welcome you out. I'm saying no. The drive, probably not so bad. This is part of your month pay off. I'll go. I don't want to go Friday night. Now, if you want to do a stream here.

I do not. Okay, see. I will if you want, but I would prefer it to be commerce related. All right. Viewer birthdays. Samaritan birthdays. Viewer birthdays. Samaritan birthdays.

Dear Sultan of Twat, the Titan of Trim, the King of Gash, the Colossus of Clit, the Great Slambino. Jeez. Monday is my husband Aaron's 38th birthday. I'm sure he's a week one DF,

as am I. Fun fact, as long as Aaron remains in banking, he never has to work on his birthday because it falls on Veterans Day. I heard a guy talking about that at Flag yesterday. They get them all off. They don't have bank in-service days? What, do you just get off? She says, see, wasn't that fun?

No. His hero is definitely not Jake and his fake drinking problem. Fake. If Jake needed rehab, then my husband and I both have surpassed rock bottom. Just kidding, kind of. Anyway, love you guys. That's usually how those emails go. I'm just kidding, I think.

Love you guys. Thanks for the birthday shout-out for Aaron in San Angelo. P.S. Please bring back the crow line from Madison. Jake wants to. We're trying to tell him he doesn't want to. You don't want to. I wanted to bring back voicemails,

and these guys both said, that will fail. And it really kind of took the wind out of my sails to pitch an idea and immediately be told, it's going to fail. Just saying. And then I kind of stopped bringing it up, but we do have a phone. Boy. If that was everybody's attitude, Baker Mayfield would have never. Be four and six?

Climbed, walked over to Bob Stoops' office and said, Hey, can I just walk out? Dear Tangy Twat Tamers, It is my wife's father-in-law, Chris McCoy's, building supply Texarkana store birthday. What the hell is this guy? 54. Just on acid emailing the show.

Chris McCoy, I think. And that's who's going to be calling the voice in the line. Chris McCoy. His leaders are Chappie's subpar picks, Deshaun Watson's Riz, and Jake's month-long getaway from the family under the guise of rehab. If you need an expert in commercial copier order operations management, he's your guy. Happy Veterans Day, Playboys, from Max W. P.S. I have an anchor word.

Okay. Rungs on a... Ladder? Rungs on a ladder. You don't say rungs of stairs, so why is it rungs of a ladder? Hmm. What do you think? I can't think of another one.

Do you want to add it? Dear Uncle Sock Soaker, please wish my brother-in-law Trevor Harden a happy Sean Bradley on the Mavericks birthday. His leader is the third-rate Humphrey Bogart from Geico. Somebody must do something. And his birthday wish is

Les Sarah Heppola from D1DF Ryan. I talked to Sarah Heppola this weekend. So did I. Oh, yeah? She's writing an article about Jake. Oh. She probably wanted that out there.

Oh, she didn't want me to say that? I don't know. Well, she should have set off the record then. I know how this works. Got him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because she... I was telling her that maybe...

This was a bad idea. Because she was talking about this, and I was like... Come on, man, you're brave. I was like, well, maybe... Yeah, because she was saying, oh, it's a big deal that he stepped out, and he did this publicly and all this. And I was like, yeah, well, maybe it's actually something else going on and he's using this as a ruse because he knew this would be commonly accepted.

Like it could be a transition. It could be like you started the transition and then you backed out. And then I'm like, well, look, we just know he was away for a month. I wasn't with him. I don't know where he was. Yeah. Well, she told me, she's like, I'm going to talk to Dan. I was trying to F with her a lot. I wasn't with him. I don't know where he was. Yeah. Well, she told me. She's like, I'm going to talk to Dan.

I was trying to F with her a lot. What do you think you're getting from Dan? I was trying to get her digits. I didn't play the Viewer Mail nickname montage for the NBR or during the NBR last week, so can we end the episode with it? Today? Yeah. I thought you told me I had to end with some song.

We can do both. I'll do it. We're just going to do a four hour show? Just three. Alright, well, put it in there. I'll throw it in there. Okay. I'll play it. Why don't you just work it into tomorrow or work it into viewer mail? This is awesome.

I don't know. Salute. Brigadier General of the Deep Trench Escape Hatch. Please wish happy birthday to my Air Force Tech Sergeant Father, Larry Mackey Sr. That's a sweet name. His leader is you after hearing him giggle at last Friday's podcast. Thank you to all veterans. From Ryan.

I got one more I think came in during today's show So I will give it to you Oh no, that was it There you go Alright, now Let's do some Today in History But before we do, let's just tell you that it's brought to you by someone What are we doing, guys? Frank-o Frank-o Someone. What are we doing, guys? Frankel and Frankel.

Okay, Frankel and Frankel. 817 or 214 and then 333, 33, 33. That is how you get in contact with the Frankels. They are personal injury attorneys. They've got tons of experience. When you call, you will talk to a partner. You will not talk to just a dog's not going to answer the phone. Janitor, you'll talk to one of the big boys. They have over 100 years

of combined experience. They know how to get you what you deserve. When you get a car accident, people are going to try to take advantage of you. Let's not make a bad situation worse. I have you thinking, oh, I should have said that. I should have talked to that person. You're already in a car accident. Let's stop the bleeding, proverbially, by calling 817 or 214-333-3333 and letting the Frankles handle your case. Hey, Claire, you remember that one time the Frankles got me that huge car accident settlement?

Oh, Cornelius Falcon, how could I forget? Yeah, that was super dope. Was that a fart? Please stop talking. Frankel and Frankel. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. Monday, November 11th, Veterans Day. On this day in 1938, Irish-born cook Mary Mallon.

She gained notoriety as the disease-carrying typhoid Mary. She was blamed for the deaths of three people. She died on North Brother Island in New York's East River at age 69 after... Car accident? After 23 years of mandatory quarantine. You talk about big government. 23 years? Yeah. Yeah, I remember looking at this last year. That's the best they could come up with?

Typhoid Mary? Yeah, that feels like Trump could workshop that one for you. Typhoid twat? I don't know if he was going to keep the T or the M. She had been quarantined before. For three years. And then she got out. And immediately started infecting people. And they're like, yeah.

We thought it would go away after three years. I don't know. And the other thing too is like she was a bad person. Maybe she was just trying to get by. But she would lie. So she'd get hired as a cook. With different names.

Typhoid Susan. You should change the other one. On this day in 1939, Texas Tech and Centenary, Louisiana, played to a 0-0 tie in a torrential downpour in Louisiana. In this game, there was an NCAA record for punts. 77 punts in the game.

How? 39 by Tech, 38 by their opponent. And they played to 0. Do you think that was a fun game to be at? 77 punts, 0-0 tie. It seems impossible. On this day in 2014, Dirk scored 23 points to become the highest scoring player born outside the United States,

surpassing... Nobody? No guess? Who was the highest scoring foreign-born player before Dirk? Detlef? Hakeem Olajuwon. I'm sorry. I was distracted because I've now decided I want to visit that hospital

where they had typhoid titties there. That would have been a good one. Yes. Yep. The hospital is like the creepiest looking thing I've ever seen in my life. North Brother Island, as you said. Riverside Hospital. Just a loony bin on an island in New York.

Whew. Anyways. Birthdays today include former intern of mine Mike Bassick is 47. That was before he gave up the historic home run. He was an intern one summer.

Wait, not summer. That's silly. Winter. Kelvin Joseph is 24. Bossman. He is not on our roster. Second round? Yeah. They love that second round, first round talent, but red flags.

Randy Gregory. Jalen. I'm sure there are others. You're right about that one. I'm pretty sure I was not allowed to claim that as a win. The coaches used him wrong. Former Cowboy Mark Sanchez is 38. Dak's mentor.

We'll be seeing him for the rest of the year, too. He's on one of the announcing crews? He's one of the Fox teams, yeah. Golfer Fuzzy Zeller is 73. Jake. Actually, in my exit survey, I'm unsubscribing because Jake said Fuzzy Zeller's a racist. Well, here's what Fuzzy Zeller said. He's doing quite well.

Pretty impressive. This is about Tiger Woods, of course, when Tiger Woods won his first Masters. He's doing quite well. Pretty impressive. This is about Tiger Woods, of course, when Tiger Woods won his first Masters. He's doing quite well. Pretty impressive. Little boy's driving it well. He's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. I mean, already.

Yeah. If you're going to call him a little boy. Little boy. Driving it well. He's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. So you know what you guys do when he gets in here? Pat him on the back, say congratulations, enjoy it, and tell him not to

serve fried chicken next year. Jeez. Or collard greens or whatever the hell they're serving. Jeez. Don't know if that made it better. The add-on, the collard greens, but yeah. Steve

Kunawalchuk is 52 Hockey Hockey Corey Snyder is 62 Wait, who? Baseball? Baseball's right Okay

You got excited Because it seems like you have some recognition of Corey Snyder, the name. I know it has something to do with you. Yes, he was a Cleveland Indians right fielder when I was a little kid who was on the U.S. Olympic team along with Odubi McDowell. Odubi McDowell was the center fielder. You had high hopes. Big hopes.

And for some time, a small amount of time, I was a big animal kid. As a kid, I loved animals. You were breeding mosquitoes. But I had a bird, and its name was Cory Snyder. What kind of bird did you have? I don't know. Like it couldn't talk or anything, but it was a bird in a cage. What do you do with it if it doesn't talk? I've never really...

I guess I've known a couple... It kind of sucked. My friend who had the big lizard had a bird. But it just seemed like all you did was change the cage or the stuff in the cage. It just kind of made you sad it was sitting there in the cage. It's a bird.

And it has like one square foot to fly around in. Like, it's a bird. And it has like one square foot to fly around it. Sorry, Corey. Victor Cruz is 38. One time, early on in dating my wife, we went to a Cowboys-Giants game. The most obnoxious I've ever been

as a fan at a football game in my life. A lot of sauce involved. And the Cowboys won. And on the way out, I was salsa dancing, like, right through and in front of Giants fans. Jesus. Yeah, I should have been. And she was like, yep, this is the one. I got to lock in with this guy.

Should have been knocked out for that. Actor Ty Sheridan is 28. That's Wade Watts from Ready Player One. Bad movie. Good book. Actor Adam Beach is 52. Tommy on Walker, Texas Ranger. Oh, wow.

Oh. Yeah, all of those shows they always had to have a native and that's who he was and he was always as you know the stereotype or the trope they always had to be really good at directions and like sensing which way

like tracking you know like in Lonesome Dove they had a native with them, and he would just hold the dust up. This way. Wasn't Walker though? Yeah, Walker was very in touch. As good of a tracker as any Native American? Chuck Norris

has been sort of white man cosplaying both Japanese and Native American his whole career. Martial arts, but also very in touch with the earth, you know? Leo DiCaprio, 50.

Demi Moore is 62. Or Demi. If you're a tool, say it like that. Hey, you want a Leo DiCaprio note? So Beth, drop Beth listens to us live. Now, what was the name of the game show that we referenced earlier, or Nance referenced, to tell the truth?

Maybe. Maybe. A guest on that show Frank Abengale played by Leo DiCaprio catch me if you can now you know

Calista Flockhart 60 kinda unfortunately made it cool to be skinny. She kind of... It was like, oh, it's the disease. Yeah, it was part of that generation. That's what I grew up with. Anorexia.

And bulimia. We grew up with squats in our generation. Now kids are all fat. No, they just lift. Oh no, it's unhealthy to be anorexic, and now everybody's all fat. That's not going to work out for you. Let's go back to anorexia. And my last one is Lavelle Crawford is 56.

Wow. You know who he is? Huel? Yeah. See, he could use some anorexia. He's probably lost a lot of weight. Gotten all hot. On the zimpie.

I doubt he's gotten all hot. Born on this day, now dead. Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse. And dead on this day, still dead. Texas legend. I give you Nat Turner, who led a slave uprising. Why did I think Kurt Vonnegut was from Texas?

That was dumb. Nat Turner. So that's cool, right? And then they executed him. Oh. Yeah. And then also died on this day, still dead, Jay Rosamond Johnson,

a composer of the song Lift Every Voice and Sing. The Black National Anthem. That's right. And that was Today in History. Oops, I didn't stop the music. Let's do the whole show over again so I can get that right.

I'm right here ready and waiting. Well, now we're at closing remarks time. Do you remember Brad Wheeler? He's been sitting here. Hi, Brad. Wow. For like three hours. Long program today.

Thanks for letting me be here. Supersized. Yeah, I would just like to, again, thank Qualys Roofing. So, yeah, thanks to Qualys for sponsoring me. It's great to be here. It's really cool uh i love seeing blake research stuff on the fly that was awesome to see he's an elite googler he's an elite google googler video man's uh on the fly productions over there is awesome so yeah

this is really cool um but yeah i i have a question i know you play wordle dan does anybody do any of y'all play Wordle? No. These guys look down upon me for all my... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I play Wordle with my family. I'm glad you're into that and the boys. And the boys, yeah, yeah.

We're like, you know. But I have a question for you. Do you play with anybody else? Do you send them your results or anything like that, Dan, after you play? No. Man, this isn't going well did you think he did yeah i would assume so occasionally my wife will tell me something like about the word that day or something yeah very occasionally so we're a little bit more competitive in my family and every morning we'll we'll send each other our results and eventually i was like well i I want to know how well we do against each other and so forth.

So I work for a data and analytics company. I've been working in data and analytics for 20 years. So I also enjoy it personally. So I've done a ton of personal projects. So I've done a lot of NFL analysis. I've done a full breakdown of every Pink Floyd song, the structure of it, volleyball league stuff, lots of just random personal things. Kind of like Tony?

Yeah, or even like Brunig kind of does that too. He puts all of his household expenses toilet paper, which one to buy project out this amount of time the solar panels he's got a list of places to go with his kids on the weekend when they went last

so we started tracking our Wordle stats and I asked the family to upload their stats take a picture every day of their results and upload it to a Discord server. And then we created a bot that reads the results and saves them to a Google Sheet,

and it logs the date that you played the results and every guess that you made. And then from that, oh, here it is right here. We have it on the screen. So you could be working on whatever, eradicating cancer or something, but here we are. We all have personal time, right? So if you kind of scroll up a little bit here, Rob, you can kind of see this is our recent results.

So you can see this in the past month, the total games that we've played. You've probably seen these type of results, but if you kind of hover over any of those boxes, yeah, right there, you kind of hover over any of those boxes in those boxes, yeah, right there, just kind of take your scroll. I go to a couple of sports data sites that use that. Yeah, so essentially this is every game.

So you have recent results, and then the next tab up there are all results, and then we have another analysis of your opening guesses. So it's just fun things like this, right? So I do this kind of fun thing, and what I was hoping you would say is, yeah, I would love a way to track my results. And I was going to tell you like, well, I have a solution for you.

All you have to do is just upload your... Would you like me to join your thing? I was going to see if there was any interest. So if there was any interest, I know that the Dumb Zone has a Discord server. It's very simple for us to just add a new channel to it called Wordle Screenshots. And then anyone who would upload their Wordle Screenshots

to that would automatically be added to this dashboard. So then you could track. But then as a business, we do this kind of stuff for companies. You can imagine data flowing and people are always wanting data, whether it's financial data or operational data or anything like that. This is what we do for my company.

A lot of the customers that we work with are smaller and they don't have a dedicated data team. So they're doing things like copying data from here and working with giant Excel files. And we just help streamline all of that, just like we did with the Wordle. So you can upload this and it all flows through and ends up looking in a nice, beautiful dashboard. Same thing with your financial data, your operational data, or anything like that. So we have done a promotion. If anyone goes to scenario.com slash the dumb zone, and Blake was nice enough to say he would add that as a link, because I know it's hard to spell. We have a little promotion here.

Anyone can come in here. And we even have, if you scroll down just a little bit, Rob, we have a vote. We can vote for more or less Sarah Heppel. Yeah. So we've got a way to vote here. Very simple. Yeah. And then we have a promotion. So you can click to email and you can either schedule a meeting directly with me or our sales team. And if anyone signs up as a customer, we will sponsor, just like I was sponsored to be here today. That's awesome. I will sponsor someone that comes in here. I think there actually are a lot of small businesses.

Like my parents' business could probably use this. Scenario.com? Scenario.com slash the dumb zone. That's right. S-Y-N-E-R-I-O. That's a cool idea. S-Y-N. Thank you.

And he's already a friend of ours with offering a sit-in. We have. And he's already a friend of ours with Offering a Sit-In. We have a lot of DFs in our company, so we're big fans. Okay, nice. So we want to see you guys do well. Was there a list of things you wanted to be critical about? A lot of people were bringing in some grievances or anything? No, just to say this is awesome.

We do have a couple of gifts. So first of all, we've been fans for a long time. We're big fans of the Gay Not Gay. I think it's coming back. I'm pretty sure it's just about as of last Tuesday. It's not marked in any way, but this is actually two years of Gay Not Gay from, I think, 2005 to 2007. Wow. That's how big of fans we were.

This is actually from a friend of mine I can't take credit for, but we would record them off of the radio, and we had it laying around. And I was like, you know what? We should give these to the guys, so sorry for not marking it. And in light of that, I actually sent Blake a message. I said, you know, I want to get the guys gifts. I want to get you guys gifts, but it's hard to come up with anything.

So two questions. One, is a gift registry gay so if we were to make a gift registry for that seems awful presumptuous yeah right although influencers do they do it really yeah i mean teachers definitely do it right the amazon list or maybe give me a little something fun for raising your kids for you but yeah influencers definitely like even chicks that are just moderately attractive who have funny twitters their pin tweet will be like you want to buy something really and it worked i think it works we want to get you stuff and it's hard because you guys have a lot of stuff so my next

question of is a gay is is if a guy gives another guy a gift, is it gay to wrap it? Blake would say yes. I think so, yes, too. And we have four of these, so we have one for you, Video Man, too. So this is nothing special, but since I didn't get any other ideas, I'm actually going to teach you how you can watch any sporting event you want live. You don't have to worry about anything. So with a Fire Stick, you just use the built-in web browser

and you go to streameast.app and every game is live and you can watch them all, no problems at all. You can also use it on your phone and then you can cast it, but it's a hassle. But having a Fire Stick with a built-in web browser allows you to watch any game live. And I'll show you how to do it once the stream is over. And I got one for each of you.

Wow. Yeah, so that way you don't have to worry about games anymore. Well, well, well. How are you going to watch games? So that's it for me. I think Romo has something for you too. Okay. Look at that.

That's Rock Romo back there. Romo has a mic back there somewhere. Yeah, so I play golf. I collect golf balls and I run an Instagram where I just post golf ball logos. I'm kind of OCD. I'm a photographer. I like to archive stuff.

So I have a lot of extra golf balls. So I brought some for you all that are kind of themed personally for each one of you. I like it. So hold on one second. These are for Blake one of you. I like it. So hold on one second. Wow, thank you. All right. I'm going to open mine here. Any sleeve of golf balls for me?

Yeah, mine are all booze branded. Mine are all high school mascots. Okay. Yeah. I've got multiple types of hooch here. I've got one with the state of Ohio printed on it. You're from there. I am.

One that another Ohio State Park Resorts. And this one just says, it's got a little text on it that says, get cucked, be better. Somehow that was for me. Yeah. Somehow. Seemed right. Okay. somehow seemed right uh and then also um my father-in-law started like a a new he owned a crossfit gym he sold it and he started a new business as a hobby where he uh i don't know

if you know what cerakote is it's like a fancy type of paint that has to be like baked on but anyways he uh does custom guns for his company. It's called Texas Gun Guys. I mean, they are amazing. Fully takes them apart, sandblasts them, repaints them, oven cooks them. They look amazing. Anyways, I made one for

Blake. I made a putter for Blake. I mean, a lob wedge, actually. A dumb zone lob wedge. Wow. With the dumb zone logo on it? Yeah. We talk about up and down.

Yeah. That is pretty sweet. Yeah, it is. Yeah, he helped me put that together. I don't know how to do this. People do win. And it's a really tough paint that won't chip off. You can't take it off with chemicals. It has to be sandblasted

off. It's like a ceramic coating sort of deal. Well, thank you guys. Thank you for the tacos. This is sweet. What a day. There's no way I can use this. I mean, it won't come off, he said.

Yeah, you have to use it But if I blast it out of the sand It'll ruin it Maybe Yeah you spent a lot of time Over there on the beaches You know what I mean Spent more time in the sand

Than David Hasselhoff So Thank you guys for coming Was that a golf joke? That's more from Happy Gilmore Adios Mofo
