Attached by a magnet. You got good weather this weekend. What are you going to? do you're going to go spend it in a dealership or you're going to be doing fellowship doing fellowship instead of sitting at a dealership because you got fair lease.org they're affiliated with the credit union of texas dan i actually looked into what that meant and it means that because they're affiliated with the community bank there's no middleman they can get you a better rate so you are helping texas you're helping yourself you're helping

us by going to fairlease dot org where it says how'd you hear about us uh type in Joe Rogan at fairlease.org and they're going to shoot you straight at Fairlease. I'm never listen. I'm going to listen to the dumb zone. Hello, friends. Welcome to a Thursday program. It is the dumb zone.

I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jacob. I'm Blake Jones. Rusty, rusty, rusty. Rusty Blake Jones. It's called Kone Rusty. I like my rusty trombone joke better than what you did, but it was related to a sponsor, so I like that.

No, actually, I don't know if you looked at the sheet. Trombones. Go to trombones.com in the back app. Would we do well if we had a trombone? Because we just came off of a business Wednesday. We sure did. We've identified certain types of, businesses and whatever that they're benefiting from our relationships and maybe others

wouldn't be as good and horns you're wondering if horns but would trombone yeah would you have to do yeah brass generally because it would be hard to just sell trombones it would be it's a tough market hey blake hey how's that mustache bro looking great god damn honestly When you come in, though, and you shave the rest of your face, it's just so pronounced and just... You give me the energy to keep going. It gives me the energy to keep going. That mustache all revolves around it when it's in a room. It's going to take me some time, and I'm trying to tail Blake.

Basically, just because Brandon Aubrey said something about it last week. What do you mean? Well, I'm just going to, like, let it fade in. Look, he's trying. But I'm going shorter than you are, though. I'm going with the pat-y from Generation Kill. This is in code, but it's dangerous. Okay.

I thought you could grow a mustache pretty quick. This is like three days. Okay. No, that is pretty good then. I got an alpha faded, but there's definitely a line where you're like, do not go past that. It's not the nostril. It's the corner of the mouth. Yeah.

So we are not in the Game Day men's health studio. which is downtown Dallas in the Fox 4 building. Game Day.Dumzone.com, by the way. If you're kind of not feeling yourself, if you're feeling like, is it just age? It might not be just age, but they can help you feel your best self. 10% off the testosterone for life.

If you mention Joe Rogan, is that what we're going with today? We're doing comedy. I think people get it by now. I want you to mention the dumb zone. There's no joking around when it comes to your health, Jake. That's so true, and especially men's health. Right.

Women's health, it's fine to joke. Time it doesn't. No, if you're feeling down, Game Day's a spot. They've got 12 locations. You know what it is. So we're not in the Game Day Men's Health studio. We are high atop my garage where we have a sit-in, and his name is Joe. Do we give your last name?

You can, Miller. It's the most generic name. I was about to say. It's extremely generic. I believe this is a fake name. Joe Miller does not want us to know who he is. Very mysterious. Maybe a bar, Joe Miller's.

But I guess we'll hear all about Joe Miller's exploits in closing remarks. My man, Joe Miller has a Cornelius T-shirt on today. A throwback of the highest. Yes, in honor. More on-a-Daw-S shirts. An R-I-P. Yes. And you've seen the young.

Younger model. Right. Our younger, hotter model is right here. He doesn't eat the napkin. No. Well, remember we had a napkin incident earlier this year? That was more on me. It was covered in pizza.

I have a few things I want to make sure we get to. Okay, Brandon Aubrey is joining us in about 10 minutes. So Brandon Aubrey's show, usually Tuesday. It'll be today. Today is also Dee's Picks with Cirque and viewer mail. and so much, Jake. So yesterday was the first time that Brian Schottenheimer has spoke since the passing of Marshawn Neelan. And he's shot.

He's an emotional guy. We know that. So it was an emotional press conference and that he welled up, and I don't think he's faking it. I think he's a really emotional guy. I cry a lot personally, so I see it. I know it. but he used a couple of terms that really reminded me of what I think of this guy and it's that he's corporate retreat speak this is how we got intentionality I think I somehow through

the rehab process ended up consuming a lot of like life coach stuff I don't know how these people exist but people who teach you how to think and teach CEOs how to I think, and the problem is a lot of it's pretty valuable. It just sounds really corny. Intentionality is one of those things. I heard the term breakout groups yesterday in Shottie's speech, which there's a lot of guys in their car right now punching their dash. So what does that mean? You're in a group of 100, but now you can go into smaller groups?

And somebody's got to tell you. We just used to say it get in groups. Smaller groups, maybe find a partner. Now, it's breakout group time. This group's going to play balloon volleyball, which is going to represent this. These people have to do truth or dare. It's the lamest. Logistics is going to handle the – it's all – like the stuff we were talking about the other night of lame corporate Christmas parties.

Brian Schottenheimer is a walking corporate Christmas party video. And so intentionality is part of that. Breakout groups is part of that. And there's one I've been sitting on for a while now. And then I heard some other podcast host use this term. See if you can pick up on it. I hold relationships very dear. The trust piece and the honesty piece and the authentic piece to me is really important.

Well, I think number one, the number one thing is the connection piece. I'm going to give him a hug, but it's the connection piece. I start with the relationship piece of it from the culture and the connection piece. He's a great culture piece. have you heard that before yeah connection piece yeah

and then I started hearing him say it but then much like when he answers his own questions sometimes he can't stop there the connection piece is obvious but what about the culture piece it's just jargon it's just jargon

it's just jargon but it just goes to further show this guy listen through me getting well I had to watch a lot of TED talks and they're mostly you know It's just, it's like Dan says, like when you read a Dave Ramsey book, it's just all obvious shit, but they came up with new words for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And get paid to tell you about it, but just watch out for the piece, because I think he's ducking me on intentionality. I think we got to him on that one. A little bit of a follow-up here on, you know what, actually, I'm going to save that specific one for viewer mail. This is from the tech, BYU game. My triple play last week. You went? Oh, no. Not even close.

The Tech defense is extremely for real, and if they get a lead, it's over. And they could just never get, BYU could never get going against Tech's defense. But this part right here from Blake's college football hero jumped out at me, as Kirk Herb Street is telling his story of visiting Lubbock restaurants. The guy Shane shot the footage, Kirk. He considers himself the world's number one of third. And Brisket.

They're talking about like a camera guy. And he said the loving brisket. Shane Bo, I'm with you, buddy. That place we ate it yesterday. We ate it again today. I'm with Shane. Oh, really? You checked two boxes.

I went down. I went down twice. Okay. Yeah. First down off that catch by Carter and they try Dickie for about a yard gain. All right. So far, Kirk Curb Street, just a little lame for his dog. What about now?

You know, I dabbled into brisket. but I lived in the smoked turkey. And the chicken, whole chicken, pretty good. And it's also elite. What are you doing? You came down to Texas. And they're like, this is the best brisket. This is the best of this type of food that they only do right here.

And his answer was, do you have chicken? Can you take all the spice off of it, too? Has anyone fallen more from our, like, I feel like a bit. I feel like I used to like Herbie a lot. I thought he was good on the games. He was... I thought he was good on the games, but I've never liked him. He was just a solid guy.

I didn't not like him. I didn't, like, recoil when I heard him. And now I can't even imagine... I can't stand Thursday Night Football. And then everything about the dog. And last week, he tweeted out, like, that it was a one-year anniversary of his dog, Diane. And, like, the next night, he's got his other dog.

Like prancing him up on the set. It's like on TV now. We don't now just have to hear about his dog and see social media pictures. We now have to see him on TV. Yeah, yeah. Breaks, they'll show you a little shot of the behind the scenes when they're doing. We'll be back with college game. It's nothing but the dog or dogs.

It's like even Robert Kraft had the decency to when he had like a new piece, when they were doing like an honoring of Robert Kraft's deceased wife at the stadium, He didn't, like, bring out... We just push her over... Just put out this, like, 22-year-old. He understands, right? But no, I just, I thought of Blake instantly that he's like, oh, yeah, it's great the food in Texas.

Love being here, everything about it. You know, they're known for turkey and chicken. Yeah, the stuff you get everywhere. Everywhere. Because of beating. I got a ruling from... Establish the run guy to get... Okay.

Because I'm looking at the weather. It's going to be nice this weekend. It really is. Back up into the 80s. And I do know the weather can be volatile and then around Thanksgiving is when I'd rather do this project, but I want to put up my Christmas lights this weekend.

Yeah. Now, I could just put them up and not turn it on until the day after Thanksgiving. You could. What would you suggest? jest here because you I saw you get visibly shaken when I said I was going to put them on.

No, I understand it. You want to capitalize on the weather. I think I'd be for putting them up but don't turn them on. Okay. That is like a super Dan move. It's like I'm just prepared, dog. I do like the pack a week early. Yeah, looking ahead.

You don't want to do it in the cold. I love it. Somebody was going on. Oh, it was Julie. Go to Vegas. Julie's going to Vegas today. And it was yesterday at four i was talking to her she's like i should start packing what are you doing it's not at least you know it's not just me yeah that's uh it's also tough now because so many people i mean i know i live in a freaking whatever neighborhood but a lot of people don't do their own lights anymore and so then you're getting it at the schedule of just whenever they

can get you on and we called pretty late in the season so i don't know what's the cut off for when to have them done establish the run guy like if someone pops up on the 17th are you like what's the i once did that too that's that's what i'm thinking about now there's really bad weather for the first couple weeks of december and i'm like i just can't i think i did that a couple years ago i had him up for a week yeah god well then you just keep them up too long then i felt yeah obligated to hold him through january but i took him down i went to go see our uh friend andrew dujan he uh one time subject of the roast twin oh i forgot you were doing doing this last night yeah i went to go see him in denton with my wife what a maniac our buddy

cameron got uh who got me in the mahomes commercial uh who filmed a video with andrew that your daughters then promptly were like what his name is got camera got yeah okay and uh you know leo gets i do why do i know that name though from the movie i thought it was wasn't it uh joe peshy in Beverly Hills Coff 7 or something, but... Lethal weapon. There you go. Oh, lethal weapon. So whatever Leo wants, Leo gets.

And so Cameron got you tickets. He did. And I had a gummy thought that I shared at that time. I bet you did. That you know how they say that everything should be done in moderation, right? Like life in general that's just, it's an unbreakable thing. Anything is like that. As Wawa Wobsey would say, too much, too much,

too much of a good thing is not a good thing at all so you know how at the same time no i don't know what that is okay it's a kid show in the last like week i've had three different people in my life already lamenting their december calendar they're like holy shit it's going to be a disaster i got this birthday then i got your christmas party then i got my other christmas party the next night and then they're like and then the next week i've got this well you know how also everybody dreads the holidays i think it's pretty clear that as a calendar and as a society we are concentrating way too much hang out with your friends and family time in one part of the year. It's like baseball.

This should be spread out way more over the course of the year because people get too much of it. It stresses them out and then they're exhausted. Yeah, but that's when you're off work. It's when you're off work. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Well, like, I think people end up saying, like, oh, I've got to spend this money on this before the end of the new year. or it's when you get a bonus. So that's part of it, too.

But there's just too much time where there's nothing going on. And then like six weeks where everyone just hates themselves because they're trying to scramble for all this other stuff. I mean, why don't we just change the calendar? No, I don't want to hear it from you, baseball man. What? You keep the baseball COVID calendar. It's the sports calendar.

Well? You just want, so you want to do with life, what I want to do with the sports calendar. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Mine is a realistic thing that you can actually accomplish. I don't know how you're going to petition Thanksgiving to be in July. Well, I mean, it's not going to. It's as made up as any of the, as the sports calendar is. Sure.

I mean, there's some of them, obviously, you can't change. Friday the 13th, the hardline once found out being one of them. You hit on something, and then we'll get to brain it, but something I'm tracking, that's a list of things I used to do either when I was young or poor that I shouldn't have to do anymore. He's over it. The first is, like, using every last ounce of the bar of soap, which sometimes I catch myself doing, like, a bar of soap is a dollar,

$1.50, just get a new one. Yeah. But I'm sitting there just trying to, like, get the last little bit out of it. So you use a tiny little? I will because I... First of all, you use a bar of soap. I still use a bar of soap. and I still have it in me to just maximize value.

Like, there's some left I need to use it, but I'm over it. Same with toothpaste. Like, why am I just using all of my strength to get like one last thing? Somebody has to establish the run around here. There's something fun about, like, just the end part. Oh, dude, I blew my kids mind the other day. I could let that last like four weeks. I'm like, God.

Hand that over the box. Why are we doing that? Just let it go. Dig it out. Check this matter. Magic out. It's not that expensive. Just get a new one.

Are you ready or no? Yeah. Oh, cool. Oh, Brandon's here now? Okay. Community Mechanical is our sponsor. Our man is kicking all them bombs with his foot down on the gas. Homey kick it off the turf.

Papa kick it off the grass. Community mechanical make old. Blue baby, baby buckle up. You could have like native themed bathing suits and stuff. You do it in the summer. Okay. Friendsgiving in June or something. Let's talk about it.

Hi, Brandon. Do you read us? Yeah, I can hear you. Can you hear me? Good to go now. We can hear you. The great Brandon Aubrey, fresh off of by week. So you appreciate you joining us today. We couldn't do the recording thing yesterday.

Apparently you guys shifted your schedule because of Monday night football. And, you know, we like just talking football and stuff, but obviously this is a weird, an odd situation that you guys are facing right now with a tragedy befalling a teammate. And then you're on the bye week, and now you come. back to face this yet you still have to get ready for a game and you're at the star right now so what is what is the atmosphere um pretty somber the past couple days we spent two days honoring marshawn just kind of provided resources for the team the league the cowboys for

therapy and anything any chance you need to talk or get your motions out whatever it may be We had a lot of resources provided to us. Kind of took it easy on Monday and Tuesday with no practices, just kind of talking your feelings out. And then, yeah, it's not waters that any of us have ever been in before. And terribly tragic, never want to go through anything like that. Not sure exactly what was going through Marshawn's head to make him, kind of feel that way and wish you could have done more to change his thoughts and just protect him from that situation. No really, yeah, at a loss of words, I think we all are. And just kind of

going through the grieving process as well as you can and as fast as you can. And then obviously we have a job to do still, which is unfortunate. But we're all fortunate to have this job and we got to push forward. We're not going to move on, but we are going to move forward. I'm going to remember him as best as we can and think the best way to honor him is to go and do our job to the best of our ability. So we're going to do the best we can. Are there a couple of guys that have dealt with this before, Jake? Well, Dak and now Solomon Thomas, who played with Quinn and Williams in New York under Aaron Whitecott.

He's a family. Okay, but DAC certainly with a teammate during the season. Right? Yeah. Is that the Josh Brent? No, I don't know that Dak was on that team. That's what I'm asking? Yeah, no.

Okay, you're talking about just family, okay, and having to push through that. I didn't know if anybody had ever. I mean, I heard Shottie's press conference, too, and he said he has not dealt with any of this either. So it's, I don't know. It's interesting, but you certainly don't want to go through this. Yeah, I was just going to say as a guy who's played team sports your whole life. I mean, not that there's any sort of positives to be taken from this, but the fact that you guys do have a team environment with which to deal with this. And I don't know.

I always try to position myself as like, I just function better as part of a team. It isn't like an emotional backstop for me. So I wonder if you ever think about sort of how lucky you are to work in an environment your whole. life that that that is a big part of it the the connection piece some might say yeah absolutely um spend more time with your teammates than you do your family in season um so they become an extension of your family and the more support more family you have around you the easier it is to to deal with stuff like this and um a lot of guys have said it was harder because it was the by week and they're maybe sitting at home alone because you know a lot of guys home base isn't here so um just

alone with their thoughts, no one really to support them and kind of have a sounding board just to get your emotions out. So a lot of guys were saying it just feels good to be back in the facility with guys who are going through the same thing and just to be able to kind of share similar emotions and everyone kind of understands each other better than anybody else that they could rely on. So not that it's going to feel normal, but to get back into a normal week. normal flow of a week here might start to you know accelerate the healing process and just having having guys here that going through a common thing is just yeah you said it lucky and it's a privilege to have just a bunch of like-minded individuals working towards a common goal that you

can relate with and have a strong bond with and think that really helps guys get through a lot of things that are going in their personal life yeah shoddy alluded to this too but it's kind of like when you guys are between the lines it's a it could be an escape for actually real problems or real things in the world but you can just kind of act like this thing is the most important thing ever and it's it's a it's a good thing in that way yeah absolutely yeah all right are we um well you were on a bye week when we last spoke you had not packed for your trip to Notre Dame. Yes.

But I would imagine, I mean, you did end up going to Notre Dame and what was the whole scene? Was it just you and Jen? Yeah, it was me and Jen and two of our friends. Just went out there and saw Chicago for a little bit. Saw Joe Coy, the comedian in Chicago, got a nice fancy dinner and then drove up to Southman in the morning, did the whole what just. I kind of led the tour for the group, me and Jen,

and saw all the landmarks, did a talking engagement with the athletic director there in pregame with a couple of the boosters and then talked to the recruits, kind of give the pitch why Notre Dame, and then went to the game. Got to watch a blowout in the snow, which really cool to see a snow game. I'd not have to actually be out there playing in the snow

because that looks like it sucks, but watching the snow is pretty cool. What's your pitch to go to Notre Dame? Give us the quick one. You know, it's just, it's hard, athletics and academics. And I think when you make the choice to challenge yourself in athletics and academics, you're giving yourself the best possibility to grow. And when you come out of there with a Notre Dame degree,

it means something on a resume. I witnessed that firsthand. Just throw in software engineering. degree on a resume may not get you the interview when there's a hundred people that are doing that, but then you put the Notre Dame on top of it, kind of get shuffled up to the top of the list because I only applied for two positions and I got interviews at both of them and got the job off for the first one and didn't even go to the second one. So I think that helps a lot. And when you're playing a violent sport like football, any given play could take you

out of your career and things change fast, which is a somber message, but I can't really speak to the football program side, because I wasn't there, but I just say even the soccer program has its own facilities, have all the resources you need, training staff, weight room, nutrition, just everything you could possibly need to succeed. They have it there for you and then obviously have world class coaches in every sport. So I'm sure the football team is exactly the same because soccer team really feels like a football program would be at other D-1 places from what I can imagine. So I think just top-notch quality across the board.

Yeah, that's all I said. You know, I think I forgot. So you actually had a job as a software engineer? Yes, yeah, for two years. For two years? Okay, I thought you went right from soccer and then all of a sudden started, tried the, okay. So you punched a clock.

Did you have to wear a suit? Did you get to work from home? What was your scene? Yeah, so no suit. I wore usually a polo, short-sleep polo, and some golf pants. I was sponsored by Under Armour for my last year, or both my years' soccer, I had like a $5,000 budget, so I just bought a bunch of golf polos and golf pants. That's what I wore every day, just cycled through them.

But we got to work from home two days a week prior to COVID, And then once COVID hit, we went full-time, work from home. And that was awesome. Helped with my scheduling because, you know, they were really flexible with me. It was Gene Financial. They were really flexible with my schedule. As long as I was getting my work done, they kind of just let me get out of there around like 3.30 so I could get to the practice field before the sun went down.

Because you're still working. So while you're doing that, you were kicking. You were learning how to be a kicker. Yes. Yeah, I was going from Arlington and GM Financial all the way down to Frisco to work with Brian Egan, figure out my form, go to stop by his house once a week in Frisco, after kicking, watch film, break it down, then drive all the way back home. So, yeah, I wasn't home very often during that period of time. Jen would come out when she could, but she was working as a flight instructor, then got hired as American Airlines during that time. So, yeah, we were ships passing the night sometimes, but all of our vacations and everything we did was focused on my football.

So I feel a little bit bad for that, but she enjoyed it. And, you know, she loved going out to the field. She'd bring her a lacrosse net and try and catch the footballs for me so they wouldn't hit the track behind the uprights because, you know, that'll kind of kill the balls really fast. And they're 120 bucks. So you want to make sure those last as long as possible. Do you have, like, video of you early kicking? yeah i can i can find it and send it to you um had an older phone but it's downloaded on my computer so i can i can find it and send it to you guys okay yeah you're a software engineer

you can do that you ever talk to uh any of the old employees or the boss at gm yeah um yeah my boss will DM me uh every once in a while um about his fantasy team or something is it's it's a her but yeah oh exposing my biases sorry yeah come on can be bosses too yeah she she was awesome she supported me through the process like I was up front saying hey this is what I want to do

I want to be a professional kicker and instead of she kind of like hey get to your job no I'm not going to let you do this no I'm not going to let you do that she let me get out of the facility like I said early as long as I got in my work on time she was pretty relaxed with that I would have had you a dealership

all over town kicking trick shots and got this guy here get our money's worth so you go to a comedy show in Chicago and you're out and about in Chicago do you ever get recognized um we went to the bean um just because you know

kind of feel like you have to in Chicago and I hadn't been so we went up there and I got recognized there um but other than that no uh that guy was from Dallas so natural but And outside of the Dallas area, I usually can get away without getting recognized, which is nice. The bean very underwhelming.

Yeah, I liked it. Going up underneath, it was pretty trippy and a nice experience. But I wouldn't say it's, you know, it's not anything to put in like a top travel destinations just because of that. But the city of Chicago is awesome. It's really, really well laid out and the buildings are all clean. I thought it was a really cool city. Yeah, the city's cool. But I, like you, wanted to go see the bean.

And when I got there, I was like, yep. What is the bean? There it is. That big, like, reflective statue-looking sculpture thing that people take. Yeah, it's like a kidney bean. You can walk underneath it. And since it's kidney bean shaped underneath it, like, kind of reflect. You can see your reflection coming from, like, four different angles.

And if you get right underneath it, then it's a different perspective. But it's just a giant tourist trap. You can't really walk around there, shoulder to shoulder people taking pictures. got all the selfie sticks Instagram models trying to take pictures like this is ridiculous You may also recall that society At one point they made it like a portal

With like a camera You've seen them do this It was a portal to Dublin Ireland And it took about six hours Before a girl flashed Ireland Oh that was there She did it a couple times At the bean

She was like Here's what Chicago's about And then they bonded with Ireland Okay and then when you're at Notre Dame are you getting recognized left and right

I did recognize a few times there obviously they threw me up on the big screen in the second quarter so people knew I was there I did a podcast we're like a speech

in front of the boosters and fans could walk in so they advertised I was going to be there so it was pretty like I don't know people who knew and were looking around

spotted me because we were doing the tour we went to all the big landmarks too so that's what i was where all the people were at yeah i i my buddy took me on that tour and it was like he should have been but it was like the proudest i'd ever seen him to show me like the the cathedral uh what's that yeah i don't know yeah no yeah tc took us around too yeah yeah yeah so cool yeah no it's a great scene, tailgate and scene and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But yeah, my night was freezing as well when I was there. I don't know if it was

bitter for you, but it was bitter cold a couple years ago. That's when you don't that's when you don't want to be pitching the recruits. Yeah. Right. It was like 46 degrees and it wasn't super windy, but when the game kicked off it dropped, like I think a storm front hit

maybe two minutes into the first quarter and we got really downpour with snow. It started with sleet, rain, and then turned into snow as it got colder. Hey, would you mind if we, just for at least 30 seconds or so, we'll mention community mechanical. Yeah. Because they're our HVAC company, and they're years too, right? Yeah. You had an issue, and they came out and kind of fixed it. Yeah. I don't remember, bangers didn't kill me here, but I don't remember the part that was broken still. But

it wasn't what the other company said. It wasn't a need of a whole. whole new $10,000 unit. They took a look at it in five minutes, diagnosed the problem, got a part of the truck real quick, and it was like a hundred buck fixed. So save me a lot of money, and I really appreciate it. Sorry I didn't get you guys, your customers, the free preventative maintenance. I'm working on it, maybe in Vegas. Oh, yeah.

Well, yeah, you can. If you kick a 70-plus-yard field goal at any point this season, they're going to give away an all expense paid trip to a 2026 cowboy away game and a Brandon Aubrey jersey and $250 cash anyway so that's all you have to do is not only set the NFL record but just put a couple more yards on it and we've seen you kick those before and said oh that would have been good from 70 so yeah it can happen uh and what's their website at nfw.com the phone number caller text 46966777290 we need to ask your thought Thoughts on the Nico Harrison firing?

My thoughts on Nico Harris firing? It happened. I haven't really looked into it. Obviously, the trade with Luca put a big question mark on his career. But, yeah, I guess he's taking his repentance for that move. I mean, the city of Dallas loves Luca and wishes he was still. here. So it can't bring him back. But I guess this is a step in the right direction. Maybe I don't, I don't know. I don't want to comment. I don't know anything about basketball. So I don't want to put my foot into the door that I don't belong in. So seems like that's what the fans wanted. So they're moving towards what the fans want, which I think is always the right thing to do as an organization that makes their money from fans. So good, good thing they put their finger up to the wind and felt that moved in that direction. I'm going to give that an A-minus.

That was really good. That was really... For seemingly, you actually don't care in real life, but you came up with something. Yeah, and it was believable. Whatever. Nobody's offended. Kind of struck the right tone. I think that was really good.

Now do the government shut down. I think of... He mentioned it once of, like, getting better at media because of us. I think of us as, like, I don't know, like hiring a woman of the night. Like, look, we're just experiencing this. Nobody cares about what we do. but for the actual people, for the big stage, you'll have some experience talking to these hacks.

That's awesome. And reading spots. What obviously sounds a little bit uncouth to mention is that right before the tragic news of Marshaun Nealans' passing, the Cowboys were very much in the news with like a really active trade deadline. So I know you're a fan of the NFL. I don't know if you had ever met Quinn and Williams,

but we went back and reviewed the Jets, hard knocks. If you watch the NFL, you know the guys just plays with a lot of fun. He's out there talking, having fun. And I don't know if you've met him or what your impressions of him from watching him in the league have been up to this point. I hadn't met him until Monday. You walked in on the specialist playing our golf game on the Xbox, and he's like, oh, man, I love golf. Apparently he's a 17 handicap trying to get better.

So it's another person we can go golfing with in the offseason. Yeah, he's a force to be reckoned with. He's an exciting player. Love to have him. We haven't seen him on the practice field just yet since we haven't really. It's been a long time since we practiced. It'll be good to get out there today. And yeah, I'll be watching.

I get to watch the defense more than the offense on game day. So that's always exciting when we make big splash moves like that. I'm trying to move in the right direction. And we want to win games. You bring in good players. That's what we've done. And hopefully, I mean, I think it'd be crazy to say, I hope he makes an impact, because I know he's going to make an impact. So you guys really busy in those special teams meetings.

What golf game are you playing? PGA, Road to the Masters. Road to the Masters. Okay. Damn. You good? Oh, I'm getting good. I wish I was that good in real life.

Yeah, we play it way too much. We got a running scoreboard. Right now, I'm up three points. You get three for a win, one for second place, and zero for last. So I'm in first, keep it that way. Did you make your own character, or are you playing with someone else? No, on the facility, we just, I use Scotty, Brian uses Scotty, and Trent's got a man crush on Bryson, so he uses Bryson.

Two Scotty's, no, you got to settle for who gets to be Sheffler. I'm green shirt, Scotty, Brian's blue shirt, Scotty. There's a difference. Jake had to grow up being Davis Love the Third because his brother wouldn't let him be Tiger. Marco Mira again. Yeah, I don't know. All right, man, well, we appreciate you joining us today. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, good luck in that elevation, right? Let's get some preventative maintenance, buddy. Yeah, I was going to go to a magic show if you want to tag along. Oh, that's right. It's a road trip. Yeah. You guys will be a little luck. Where is the magic show?

I think, I don't know. I'll get us an Uber if you want to go. The mentalist. Oh, you're going to the, it's not Oz, it's O's. You ever see that mentalist guy? Oh, they had him in training camp. He came to the Cowboys one. Oh, he did, okay.

What did he do for you guys? He had some guys write down some names or some places and then went around the room. And I don't really remember he just got guys to say, like, other guys that wouldn't guess know what the other person wrote down to say what he wrote down um i don't know if i bought it entirely because he threw out a football one of them he threw out a football to brandon uh cooks who had written something down i guess and then he said brandon throw that football to anybody and they threw it and then he goes wait no i meant this person and threw it to that person's like okay that's a little little stage like brandon forgot his who he was supposed to throw it to because he'd been talked to before they did

have a meeting with like the guys that were involved in the show before the show so i don't know i'm not going to say so you're telling me it's not real i was going to say you're basically just saying it's not real magic which is not that controversial yeah it's slight of hand lean more towards not real then okay then right you're going to find another show for brandon okay i mean if you want if there's a concert you want to go to you i'll tag give you a burger restaurant recommendation or if you want to go eat a burger all right we'll see you next week the Specials are actually playing in a specialist dinner on this one because Trent played in Vegas for a while.

He's got all his spots he wants to go see. So we're just going to tackle on whatever Trent wants to do. Yeah, Trent always gets what he wants, right? Yeah, got to keep him happy. Never know when he's just going to roll one back there. It always starts with him, right? Yeah. All right, thanks, man.

I appreciate you guys. Talk to you next week, yeah. There's the great Brandon Aubrey. Aubrey. That is brought to us by Community Mechanical. The following will be brought to us by Trident. Trident Garage Doors. Trident Access Services.

Let's see here. It says I have some new copy here. Let's see what that is. That means I threw it in there the other day, and I wanted to remind myself. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to read that they selected a trick-or-treat winner. I don't know if that's like new. It showed up in the copy. I was confused as to why we would tell you that they selected this.

just because they were doing a giveaway and they want to make sure they follow up on it and Rachel Carter is the winner of the MyQ garage door opener or a $500 gift card from Trident Access Services. They're my garage door company. They came and did the fall tune-up special. Blake's house too. And you should get that done as well.

The fall tune-up special just kind of check it out. They really saved, I don't know what, It saved, but I had some kind of a thing that the old garage door company had installed incorrectly, and my garage was really loud. And it turns out, whatever they installed the thing with the chain that pulls up the garage, I guess it's the garage door opener, wasn't in a stud. And so it was kind of ripping apart my drywall. And they're like, yeah, if this was up there much, who knows if the whole garage door could have fallen. So just get yourself a little peace of mind with the fall tune-up special at Trident. TXTridant.com.

It's veteran-owned, its first responder owned. Get that thing taken care of this winter cissin. Maybe get an insulated garage door if you're replacing. DZ customers get 10% off. It's TXTridant.com. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. So later we have CERC and D's picks, and we'll get some viewer mail in just a little bit.

But sports-wise, I see you wrote a Mavs article. You did? What? Why do you say it like that? Are you still? I don't know. You're in? Yeah, I mean, I haven't been writing about the Mavs because during the fall I pretty much only do football.

I have a weekly football column, so I usually don't do Mavs until. after football. Isn't it more a NICO article, though? It's not like breaking down the Mavs. I think what Blake is referencing is I was uncertain whether I wanted to keep writing about the team going forward once the football season ended. Have you decided on that?

No. I think I should. I think I should be involved. I think the wing's draft will be around the corner. TCU basketball, right? Women's basketball. But it's basically just what we were talking about yesterday um which is that this was not a guarantee that they fired him and certainly not a

guarantee that they fired him nine months after the trade and when they make all of the documentaries about this effing fiasco an important part of it will be one of the most you know vociferous and ultimately successful fan revolts maybe ever i know i know this sort of thing does happen in Europe, where people just take to the streets and basically turn games into a protest. And I'm not saying you should always just bend to the whims of the fan, but I grew up here where I've basically been told that this is a second or third-tier sports city, and I felt like it is my whole life. Nobody's afraid to come play in Dallas. You know, the old reunion may have something to say about that. Mavs fans, I'm not saying,

weren't great but nobody's like afraid of the fans here it's just not a place that cares about sports to the degree that some places on like the east coast do for example so yeah i think the the dfw fan showing their teeth and getting people who are basically the mafia now you can't say that in a magazine i've come to find out was there an editor yeah call this morning but you know they run casinos in china like what are we talking about these people they push around people and get what they want always and this time you know it would have been great if we could have got to him before the trade but they did not think that this was going to go as painfully as this has for them and i take some you know solid or solace or comfort in that fact making people

who aren't uncomfortable very often uncomfortable is about the last thing we have left. I feel like what Patrick Dumont thinks is that, hey, I bought, he was told this somewhere along the line. I bought a sports franchise, and fans are just idiots. Fans are idiots.

They will support that franchise, no matter what, in the long run. And in a sense, he's right. Because you're still going to be here, and that franchise is here. And you even see there's a portion of the fan base, even while Nico was here. It's like, hey, we got to support the team, though.

I'm a fan. I live and die with this team. Good and bad. That's what makes you a real fan. In fact, they were the ones saying you shouldn't be booing and you shouldn't be yelling fire Nico. Right. You're not helping.

Disagreed with that fully that those people yelling fire Nico. Those are probably the truest fans. Yeah, I would agree. But, I mean, I'm not true. trying to, you know, gatekeep anybody, but for however it needed to happen, it happened. They're not going to sell the team. I don't think we've talked about kids' angle and all this enough, but for now, you have to just take it as this is something to be proud of.

Just that, the letter really bothered me, dear Mavs family, like you ain't, you ain't in my, this is the stepdad trying to tell you that, I know, you're not, you, we're, you didn't just buy into the family. You are not a part of this at all. In fact, like, I don't want to hear a goddamn thing from you at all.

Not that fired up about hearing from Cuban to tell you the truth. Yeah. Just anyone associated with this. And I don't want to hear it leaked out that you're hearing different things leaked out about Kidd. And I'm positive

kid is trying to leak out everything he can that's going to be positive about him. And, like, I don't believe anything about Jason Kidd. He has made that bed, you know? You're not wrong to feel that way. Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about the Michael Finley leaks that we've heard. Finley was against this. Like, if there was anybody that wasn't against this,

I don't want to hear from them ever again, and you shouldn't be with the franchise. You should be long, long gone. and Patrick Dumont is at the top of that because he was sitting there with Nico and he was defending him and saying these are the tough he was the one saying

alluding to Luca being not a hard worker and out of shape and he likes hard workers like Jordan and Shaq he just he doesn't know anything

he uh I just absolutely don't want to hear from Patrick Dumont I do not want to see him like hey, we're working, what did he say here? Oh, thank you for holding us accountable. Thanks for your passion. You deserve transparency. F you, bro.

Like, oh, please join me in continuing to cheer on our players. Listen, man, they're not going to make it easy ever. Like, oh, I'm going to join Patrick Dumont. Let's go, buddy. Let's go arm and arm. We're just cheer for these great players who, no, dude, you were at the top of this thing. in fact you were the one guy that could have stopped it literally the one person that could have stopped this because i think kid and now if you are go ahead i would just say i think kid could have but he would never

have even tried but ultimately it is a factual statement that there's one person who could have stopped it right because they didn't call miriam no for her opinion and what i would have wanted this guy to do this fat f uh mafia guy we can say it here i would have wanted him you know what i'm out of my depths here it seems crazy let me just well let me just call a ton of people yeah yeah because there's just nobody in actual NBA circles who would have said this is a good idea unless if we would want to believe a conspiracy that that's Supermax the owners don't like the Supermax, dude.

The big, you know, if you've been all pro this many years and all that. Because he was up for the biggest contract in NBA history. It was what he had earned. He was going to sign it in a second. But if you remember that opening press conference that Nico had in Cleveland, the contract was alluded to a few times.

And it was like, we're getting ahead of the contract. We're getting ahead of the Supermax. We're getting ahead where, I mean, Luca could have then had it in his court to decide whether or not he wants to stay. And we got ahead of that. That is way different from, right, I didn't want a tumultuous summer. It wouldn't have been tumultuous at all because he would have signed it in half a second. Yeah. So, yeah, why would Luca have said, no, I don't want.

want the $100 million extra or whatever I can get. I want to just go shop around and not. He would sign it in a second, and that's where real NBA people will tell you, well, what you do is you sign him to that. And if you really think there's a concern about his conditioning or his future and all that, then you shop it around. And you get yourself seven number one picks or, you know, another superstar and this or something.

That was never the goal. Well, that's why I think Patrick Dumont is getting a, kind of a pass here I really think financials had a lot to do with it if it didn't call any owner in the league call any something like hey man my GM

is talking about trading look dude that one person can like ask the cabs owner you know him call the cabs owner and say what can just a superstar you know mean to your

franchise well how about the value of the franchise hundreds of millions of dollars. Could you imagine if Danny Ferry had walked in and said, you know what, I'm going to trade LeBron because we're concerned he's going to leave. He's a free agent next year. He could go to Miami, of all things. Let's trade him now. That's even if you knew he was a free agent and said,

I want to look elsewhere, which Luca had never done. And I don't, the fact that he's firing him now after a slow start to the season, when he publicly said, look, a strong leader, which he was alluding to himself as being a strong leader, puts confidence, you know, lets his people make decisions and then stands by them. Unless they go two and eight or three, like, like, really, if I am to believe Patrick Dumont from the beginning,

you should let this play out and let Anthony Davis and Kyrie be healthy with Cooper Flag. And Cooper Flagg shouldn't even be in the equation because he wasn't part of this equation. You know, their theory was they were going to kind of win now, even with Anthony Davis, make the playoffs. Who knows what's going to happen in the playoffs? So don't even add Cooper Flag at all into this.

It can't. I know, yeah. It can't be a part of it at all. But I was worried that the owner would, and he didn't. Did you enjoy the, there's some pieces of this story that I guess somewhere in the recesses of my mind, knew but had not publicly shared the PR lady. Gina Miller?

No, no. The new PR lady, a woman, Gina Miller. She replaces a woman named Victoria Martinez, who, as Machine told us, had never worked for a pro sports team. She'd never worked in PR. As noted in this article, she came over from the FBI. He's like a cop. the special agent in the FBI and people are like

what like now people are seeing all this stuff that was there and like wait what like I guess Nico was just like able to hire the PR step and again this is after firing Dirk's guy and Lucas guy Scott Tomlin everyone's guy so there's just like little things that are coming out now that people

are looking at in the reporting like how did this even it wasn't just let's get Luca out of here it was a systematic excercision of his presence there's just a lot of people have screen shot at this part to me and been like, I'm sorry, we what? We hired a counterterrorism expert

to handle PR and then traded Luca? Wouldn't you want like the best PR person ever if you're going to conduct a move like that? I don't know. I'm interested to see where Dumont goes from here because new orders aren't usually real interested

in rebuilding. Like he's trying to get that arena build. He's trying to do this. He's trying to do this. that, you know, they need to lose, like, a hundred games. He could have made a couple of calls to a couple of owners and been like, you know, what do you do in my shoes? Like, let's be honest, let's call an owner that's nowhere near able to trade for Luca or something,

you know, like he's as much, if not more to blame than Nico Harrison, because it's one thing to have the idea. And then it's the other thing to actually sign off on it. You didn't do any research? You didn't look into it at all. bro he married into a family like i know that people get tired of me acting like oh billionaires or whatever this guy's never done a fucking thing in his life he's never created anything he's never done anything that helps anybody he's from a rich family he went to a rich school he married a rich

lady now he's in charge of a rich person's business that's how it's possible that somebody could spend four billion dollars on something and not understand it a lot of the owners didn't grow up playing sports but they get it to the point that they need to this guy doesn't even have that you've seen some you know theories floating around some of it has to do with the you know the Mavs trying to get some good public opinion because obviously the Mavs versus Stars thing isn't going well in their favor when that was introduced to me that made a lot of sense much like uh you know you see it in the news right with the sides of government the democrats now actually playing a little bit where uh the more epstein files just happened to come out this morning as the government

goes back to work well yeah i think that's kind of what's happening i partially subscribe to the theory that this could have been an NBA inside job only because they ended up getting Cooper Flag really cemented that for me just that getting Luca to L.A. You were about to face. Look, you don't build around Anthony Davis

and get a contender. Okay? Not current day Anthony Davis. Davis. It's comical. It's comical to be reading articles right now about, well, where could you trade them? And there's like maybe a handful of teams that even could logistically do it, let alone then want to do it, and then let alone be a place that you think Anthony Davis would actually want to go because, you know, how the NBA superstar, you don't want to acquire a disgruntled guy making $50 million a year.

But you know what you also don't want to acquire is an extremely old injury-prone guy making $50 million a year. But here we are. Like what kind of gap will there be, like let's say the Mavs do trade them, the gap between what the Lakers got and what the Mavs get for the same guy?

I don't feel like. for him. I don't know. I think you probably aren't getting anything. You're getting him off the books, and that's it. And that's incredible. So, which the Lakers are like, wait, we're also getting him off the books. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back in L.A.

Okay, so now, so that's my overall, like, it feels, it just stinks. So much about this stinks. but I got another conspiracy that I haven't heard anybody raised that is mine alone. Who's it brought to you by? Who do you want to be brought to us by? One Day doors and closets.

Okay. One Day doors and closets. They'll open the door to, I don't know, whatever. One Day, Texas.com. You're talking about them full wooden doors. Slash promo 30. Dude, you don't even know. We're keeping the silence out or the silence in or whatever way you want it.

You don't keep silence out. They fit perfectly. What is your old door guy using a rule? in a tape measure. They use advanced 3D measuring technology. They make a digital blueprint of your door. They use all the Ds. They custom cut those doors using all their Ds.

And right now, you can get two doors for the price of one at One Day, Texas.com slash promo 30. Maybe you got family coming over for the holidays. This is a quick way that you can upgrade the look and feel of your home, like hanging artwork in every room. Boy, that would be a nice little holiday thing. Yeah, sure. everybody comes over like did you guys move the holidays are approaching it's the same address we just change the doors so with the holidays approaching hit up josiah one day texas dot com slash promo 30 do it for your uh your uh your lady your partner your man america

those doors do it for america oh you don't like america oh okay why don't you get out why'd you call like three week doors jesus not here at one day doors and closets folks America Firsts, and no one else has mentioned this. Now, here's Dan. Oh, I don't think anybody has, but how about this conspiracy? Now, it's going to, the thing we have to do is see where does Nico get another job? Boy, I got an email about that today. Really?

What a weird thing to even think about. I can't imagine nobody's going to hire him in the NBA, right? There's only one franchise, the one that wants to build a statue for him. Yeah, but they can't have him there with Luca. Like, have you seen those memes? There's a statue of Nico outside. Stay close. Like, next to the shack statue.

Anyway. Ooh, I got some Luca audio, too, you're going to love. But here's what I want to say about that. The next job he gets, let's say it's even in six months. But, I mean, where else does he have contacts, and where have you heard that he actually was kind of well-thought? of. Nike?

So a Nike operative leaves, he inexplicably trades a Nike superstar to the top market. And all of a sudden, that guy is kind of becoming the face of the league. And he's on Good Morning America, and he's here, and he's there. And he's like this story. Everything about since he was traded. he's been one of the top story like he it was never on the Stephen A. Smith's scroll like that they're like Luca but now it's he's he's now like the Cowboys or the Lakers he's

Luca and even the Nico story Luca everything Luca you know everything is revolving around Luca and so Nike they inexplicably trade this superstar to the Lakers they exponential raises Q rating and then now this Nike operative kind of gets welcome back to Nike with a job well done job well done son here's a handsome handsome bonus that we had promised you years ago for doing the code red you did it man you did it you somehow like managed to just make everybody now you you are going to look like a bumbling and you can't go to Dallas anymore. Twin Peaks is off limits.

But what about this big pile of cash you're now laying on? That would drive me as a guy who's stuck with him through child slavery, a brand loyalist of Nike. Are you a converse guy? I couldn't do it, dude. They can't. It's just too obvious if they do. It's just too obvious.

We got too much stuff where it's like, we can't just do that right in front. the guy who knows all these underground, these political things that happened over the years, and I don't know, I'm just going to say some things I don't know anything about, but I think, like, Noriega or just putting people in power. Yeah. All these things that actually did happen

on a huge scale. Yeah, like, verifiable by someone's testimony to Congress. Are you going to say this is out of limit? No. No. Like, it couldn't have happened? When this could mean a billion dollars to Nike in the long run? I mean, I know this.

We used to talk to our buddy Jordan Rogers, who used to work at Nike, and then he does a bunch of NIL stuff now. You can find him on social media, not Aaron Rogers' brother. Let's get him on the next game. And from, like, the second year of his career, he would just say, it's L.A. or New York.

And I'm like, dude, I don't know. I don't think you'll leave. He's like, I don't care how it happens. It's L.A. or New York. he'll be there. They're not going to not have him in L.A. or New York. And I was like, what does that mean, though? That seems crazy in somehow, some way.

Yeah. Right. And one of your things was, well, he doesn't, he's not that kind of guy. He doesn't want to go there. I never accounted for the other side of the coin there. Just keep, mark this down, Blake. Okay. My great prediction.

Write it down. What if we were to drain the main vein and then do viewer mail and picks? I would love that. Me too. I'll go downstairs. A lot of peer pressure. We'll vote. My mind, the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right

culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship winning outcome. And if you're not doing that, you're going to lose. And if you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with, Jordan, Bird Magic Kobe Shaq

they worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win and if you don't have that and it doesn't work and if you don't have that

you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Maver's Let's go to a game well let's support them let's You're listening to The Dumb Zone I don't know about all that But I know I can get you some floors The holidays are approaching

Our pros are the nicest. We've got the best prices. Pretty close. The last Nico thing. You're going to see this happening online. We were here, right? We were not parachuting in. We were here for the whole thing.

there's going to there's already this thing where you're going to see people in the national media say that uh nico's a scapegoat and that this was all patrick dumont completely and that you know dumont admitting to that kid that they had made a mistake was somehow um vindication of that argument that nico was just simply carrying the water for the big bad white man and it is it's it largely seems to break down on racial lines and it's horseshit i i I see it happening. Like, black media members, black guys who worked in the league, just coming out and trying to act like, oh, you know, there's another case of a black man being railroaded for a white guy's plans. Fuck that. That's not what happened. Everybody here knows what happened. It was a guy who got on a power trip, and a power vacuum was created by feckless leadership.

But, and yeah, if anything, I think Nico's got some racial issues that he's clearly, uh, carrying around. I've always, so I've thought that since he started talking. And when I find out yesterday that he had Drew Holliday on an internal document as the same level of player of Nicola Yokic, it didn't help me to feel differently about that. But even if you leave that part of it aside, because I don't need it to make this argument, the argument on the other side that somehow he was forced to do this and is just fucking Job over here, miss me. It's nonsense. I don't buy that at all, But I do, what I'm trying to say is don't give Dumont a pass because, oh, now he's made it right. No, no.

He was as involved, if not. And I think that's. He could have been more, but. And he ultimately could have stopped it. If he were a better leader, if he were a person who had accomplished anything on his own in his life, maybe he would have. And that's fine point. But Nico cooked this and then stood by it. So, I don't know.

The race-baiting thing on, oh, it's their sacrifice and another black guy. I can't stand it. Do you want to hear this? Well, you don't, but I'm going to play it for you anyway. This was the Lakers post game last night. Luca, over here. Nico Harrison was fired by the Mavericks yesterday. I know you've spoken about closure regarding the trade.

I just wanted to get your reaction to or what your thoughts were on seeing the news of his firing. Look, I mean, just city of Dallas, the fans, players, they always have a special place in my heart. You know, I thought I was going to stay there forever, but I didn't. So they'll always be a special place for me. Always I can call it home. But right now, I'm focused on the Lakers, you know, trying to move on. But obviously, always is going to be part of me in there. but just trying to move on, focus on what we're doing here.

With Nico now gone, and you obviously have a lot of fans back in Dallas, is there a world in which you could ever see yourself playing for that franchise ever again, perhaps one day down the road? Right now, I'm just focusing the Lakers, man. There's no further comments. So that last part, he was stoic, pretty much Blake-faced. throughout the whole thing no emotion

when he was asked about can you ever see yourself playing in Dallas he smiled real real big and was like no con and you know his smile I miss it infectious we all love it

he's coming back what the hell's wrong with you don't do that you can't do that don't even let that take that off the recording maybe she'll take take me back. You can't do that, dude.

She's coming back. Move on. We're going to stop hanging out with you. She's getting railed by someone else. Dude, and she's loving it. Loving it. Like, you never made her like that. She doesn't think about you anymore.

It is over. You know, someone else told me that when LeBron James was playing from Miami. That he would never come back. But, no, I guess you guys know. Let's check in with the people. Guess you guys know everything. What? Hey, a minute, Uncle Hotmail.

Hey, yeah, Uncle Hotmail. Uncle Hotmail, look at me. This is brought to us by Franco and Frankel. Personal Injury Attorneys, 214 or 817, then dial all threes. You get in an accident. Think of Frankl and Frankel. They are the best. They'll get you what you deserve.

They used to work for the insurance companies, or they have guys that did, and they know their dirty tricks. So call Frankl and Frankel. Remember, personal injury attorneys, Frankl and Frankel. Frankl. Got one from Jillian, who identifies herself as a 51-year-old married female subscriber with two children. Hey now. She's weighing in because her kids participate in club sports. We were talking about Ken Paxton. Oh, you have kids? I got kids too. I mean, we should talk about it. I love sports too. Oh my gosh. I'm a coach. Yeah. You know, it does take a lot of time, but it's really worth it. Kids seem to really vibe with it.

We were talking about the Dallas Stars and the fact that they're being sued by the state of Texas for antitrust violations. And we were discussing the stay-to-play stipulations on a lot of these tournaments where if you want to play in a stars-held tournament and they have all the ice, you have to stay at one of their corporate partner hotels in a block of rooms they've already purchased. they get the discounted rate they charge you sometimes even extra and i was i've been out of the game for a long time i feel like my youth again straddling two eras select baseball was just starting like when i was in high school maybe junior high you know so we're talking like 2000 to 2002 it was a foreign thing and now seemingly it's what everybody tries to get their kids to do regardless of level of skill. She said, my 17-year-old son plays club baseball, 15-year-old daughter,

club soccer. Stay-to-play is not exclusive to hockey or the stars. The tournaments will compare the names of the teams on your roster to the names of people who actually stayed at the hotel. They will check. And then what? They won't let you play. She says, well, I agree it's a lot.

complete racket it is happening in all of youth sports thank you to jillian like what if you live how far whatever you're a couple hours away i got family here i'm gonna stay with them well why don't you go pick up burline on the way in too damn yeah it's tough one uncle hotmail for the stream team show on november 23rd if the void isn't filled and you've got room I'd like to offer my services as an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot to add production value to the stream. What?

I will arrive a little early and get some establishing shots of the den. I have the standard Mavik-type drone you're probably familiar with. Oh, yeah, the Mavs. As well as several FPV-style drones for some added flare from Chris. Yeah, I don't know what he wrote there,

any of that stuff, that I do think it would be cool if we had a, you know, Dragon Den had some like blimp-like shots over the Dragon Den. Yeah. But then do you have, you always have a camera shot of the blimp. So we'll need to record that as well. Yeah, we can. The Qualus. They will have camera shots of the drone.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. Qualis has a drone. But they can still bring the aerial shots to you. Yeah, Qualis Roofing brings you our aerial coverage at the night's stream team. It's just the floating over Dan's house. There's a lake. That sounds amazing.

Should we do that? FPV drones first person view. FPV? Well, what other view could do you have? I don't know. I don't know. People were doing drone Pino for a little bit. I remember.

Pino. Porno. What does that mean? Like you would, it was. A drone like hanging out outside someone's apartment window and. But it was, it was professional. It wasn't even like surreptitious or voyeuristic. It was like, I've seen it.

It starts with like a sick-ass view of like outside. And you're like, this is a nature thing. And then it goes over and it's two people out in nature. Oh, they're outside doing it? Yeah. I know. You like it. Sure.

When's the last time you had outdoor relations? Not as long as you think. Oh, really? Okay. I got a tall fence. Had a renovation going on. Let's shake your head of me, Nipple Blake. Where are the kids?

They're not always there. I can confidently tell you. know about you, I don't think I've ever made love with either one of them in the house. Maybe like when one was a baby and immobile, but by the time it got to, you could walk in, it's never happened, ever. Does your office count as the house? Because that's separate. Uh, no.

Or, for this purpose, yes. Oh, for this? Okay, so you have not. I'm not. Hmm. Do you, have you done the outdoor thing, Blake? I don't think I ever have. Ever?

No. Like, I remember in college going to visit my girlfriend and going out into the woods behind her house. So Ohio, but I love it. Just because, you know, you didn't want to be in the house with their parents. So, like, yeah. Where I grew up, we had a place called the Garden of Prayer, which was like a little trail over by this church.

And it was like a path and people would go there and smoke weed and get hanges. You ever do it like in a bathroom, Blake? Like that lady in the Witten jersey when they open the Cowboys Stadium? Yeah, you ever do it at Cowboys? Have you ever done it at a stadium?

Mm-mm. Because the old... I can't remember what it was called. The Convocation Center at Ohio University, though, would be empty and you could get in there. And I would run the stairs or something. But, you know, sometimes you'd go there with your girlfriend. Yeah, I wish

Never in a stadium All these stadiums that you've been to I'm boring, man How about a radio engineer truck? No Not even you would kill her You never took a girl in the engineer truck Kind of show her around

What? We'll make out There's a five speed Have you ever made out With someone at a stadium? No, no I'm sorry I wish I could give you something

I want all the fun Blake sex stories I told I told you my nipple ring got pulled out one time that's about it

but with the kid I don't know there's a lock on the bedroom door that we found out works I just don't

I don't if they came in and you were because a kid couldn't get out when you were I got one here from Adrian

I was telling you guys about this the other day when our moms and started saying the term bling bling

uh previously only used in rap songs adrian said i remember vividly the jostin's representative talking to us about high school cap and gown options trying to sell us the new bling bling tassel and the most glossy stepdad cringe worthy of the other day or cringe worthy way i searched google the other day they're still selling said tassel on their website like you think when when little wayne came up with that He was like, I bet a...

Graduation caps. Let me tell you something. This right here is the racket, right? The Jostens and these type of houses. Oh, my God. Yeah, you have no other place to go. I know. That's a mafia.

I have a couple anchored phrases. One from Mace, who I've been to his house, and he didn't really even listen to the show. But his kid had a kick-ass birthday party, and I loved it. Fantastic. Flabbergasted? Is it two words? That's not two words, though, is it? Yeah, it's one word.

I like that this part of anchor words where we just teach Blake English. How about this one from Zach, squandered? Opportunity. Yeah. That's pretty, that's a pretty good one. What did you think gasted? What did you think gasted? I'm here to report what somebody sent me.

Okay, I'm going to read every email I got, too. I got one for a... I don't get me. Many of them. I got one for anchorphrases, though, and it's spangled. Which, it feels like it might be on the list. What else is spangled besides? What do you spangle with besides stars?

Yeah. And then what besides a banner? He says, hashtag bring spangled back. I got a really weird one. Which was from like a hastily created Gmail address, you know, it's just like numbers and a couple letters. love those but he says i have to tell someone not why not my buddy's at the dumb zone and he writes uh dear conqueror of the queef cave like that one joe i send this from a burner

email address because i'd like to stay anonymous i could tell that you both you and jake know me personally though I lived my entire life squarely in the middle of the middle class money has been tight for the last couple years but things have been manageable without getting into how it happened it was not the lottery in parentheses in the blink of an eye I now have a net worth of 158 million dollars damn it was finalized yesterday I've been completely numb I haven't told a soul the only people that know are the lawyers and the finance people. I want to see how long I can go without anyone becoming suspicious.

Any tips on what you guys would do to enjoy the money a little, but also keep a super low profile? I donate it to a podcast or something. I just went from making it buy, but being pretty paycheck to paycheck to eff it, I'm going to live forever. It feels good to at least be able to tell someone, do I have enough to buy the ticket and fire cat from your friend and I you know

would have a little back and forth with him like after a few days I didn't really pay attention to it and then he kind of like hit me back I guess it's a he I just can assume it's a he

because a lady would have told everybody right away. That's the first thing. It was actually no way. Yeah. And he's claiming it's absolutely real. I said, could I read it on the air?

Yeah, and he said, I'll try to give you a hint here and there. Maybe you guys will guess it. And maybe you'll guess it. So I don't know, though. Guess it's like who it is? Yeah, he says we know him. Now, I don't know how well. I'm a pretty popular guy.

I know a lot of people. Most people want to be me and want to know me. I'd rather be this guy. I like his bit, though, if this is real. I think the first question, obviously, is do you have a job that you have to go to? Because that's going to be the place where, one, if you don't show up, people are going to be like, what happened? Yeah. And if you do show up, most of us, we don't really have to, which is the greatest thing about my life.

But most people, when they go to a job, they have to change who they are to get the check. And if you don't need that check anymore, I think it's going to be pretty obvious to people when you show up. and don't change who you are anymore because for most people they get out of that fucking Camry they tighten that tie up and they're like oh god bless it. The fun of it will

Hey, how's your weekend? Immediately. So now whenever that guy's like, shut up bitch. But now, okay, how about this though? He's going to have to act extremely subservient despite knowing he's in charge, which is hard to do.

I don't know that it would be hard knowing what you know. that I could turn it any time. It would be hard for me. I'm exposing to you what would be hard for me. You've got to save it for the right moment. Dan very likely could pull this off for a 99th percentile amount of time. And I also don't think he would do...

Like, I might have written this. I don't think he would do anything like super... Like I would keep doing the show, but as I've told you, I would pay like a million dollars to get Shane on tomorrow or whatever. I would do the show once a month from Hawaii and have you guys down there. You know what I mean? But if you have a regular job, though, there aren't that many people

that are going to be able to hold their tongue whenever the boss is like, yellow, and pops his head in the door. I'm also not buying the ticket and firing anyone. I'm hiring people away. When the boss says about those TPS reports, you just quit. You're just not going to say, yeah.

I think probably the radio thing, your financial advisor is going to tell you that's a bad idea. To hire people away? No, to buy a radio station. Oh, yeah, yeah. Doesn't seem to be a burgeoning. Probably good there. Well, God bless him, man.

I mean, the first thing I would do, I think we would all do, is you call your parents. And you're like, look, you're good. I don't know. I would. You also got to go to the doctor and get every checkup available because living matters now. And you have the money to live. The big scan. You have the money to do it.

Give me the stuff that you've been given, Jerry. Dude, because somebody told me they did that. Give me the stuff that's keeping those rich guys away. Soroy told me he did that recently. It's like two grand. For like an easy one to get the scan. But he was like, it was the greatest piece of mind you could get. So, yeah, if he's here.

Yeah. Sorry, we went late. Mike? Mike or Cash got it done? What's up CDS? Which one of you got the scan, the $2,000 scan? both but you didn't pay for it

yep Mike's muted Mike you're muted hey I love the muted you can hear him say hey one more quick one here from Paul

Paul has a rosan submission Clayton and I'll let these guys weigh in if they'd like to this is one that you might not see at first glance but I think it's coming it's uh english talk show host pierce morgan who has some jowls that are and and already kind of has the pockmarkedy red face kind of puffy puffy is a part of rosan so that's a rosan watch list for pierce morgan there

hey guys hi before we uh transition in you want to plug lucy yeah hell yeah the first thing i'd do is What does she look like? Hey, I would order a home made of Lucy. I would just have an entire like TP constructed out of nicotine pouches. So if you got 158 million or whatever that guy got? Correct. Okay. But I still wouldn't pay full price.

When it rains? I'm just out there sucking up the juices from the breaker. I'm an 8 milligram apple ice guy. I informed Soroy yesterday that with Lucy, we go to 12. we go to 12 MGs But we don't go to full price What about tossing a couple of 12 then Just live a little

Lucy.com slash dumbzone The promo code's dump zone You go that high? Get you 20% off Oh, okay Dude in Canada This is probably not time for the spot Free shipping and a 30-day refund policy

Lucy.com promo code dumb zone 20% off Get you some nicotine palaces Lucy products are only for adults of legal age Everybody's age verified One in this product It's nicotine nicotine Dixin chemical

Okay I thought nine was as high as we went. Jake told me about Lucy. Always up in the game, man. And always tobacco for... You're back in the game? What? I enjoy a nice Lucy, if that's the question.

Yeah. All right. There's a lot that happened in the last two. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. It is time for D's Pays. All right, say everything you said again. I just think it's been a great two minutes on the thumbs zone. Fascinating email to receive and the fact that you played it so well by just ignoring

and not responding to the guy and making him comment again. That is the day in the way. I know, but not with $158 million. Dude, this is going to work. Yeah, so Roy's already found that. that guy's house. Oh, he's trying to, you want me to ask him to give me money? Well, not literally asking, but here's the thing.

Generational wealth people, like, protect it more, but a guy like that who's middle class and knows actually, holy shit, I'm in that same boat. I would absolutely maybe take, what, $60 million and put it in some safe, long-term thing to ensure that any grandkids I might have would still have money. And then you spend $40, $60 million just doing the most fun shit with fun people. that are your friends, shit that you know that they have wanted to do their whole lives. I mean, you can just make dreams come true of everyone who's been impactful to you your entire life. Assuming you're like a good person and someone like that would do it.

Yeah, I would want to, I could now do nothing. I can now literally do nothing if I want. And that's my dream. That's the fun stuff for me. Yeah. Not doing things. Right. I don't have to talk to people.

But I would have a map, Dan. But I love the idea of... And learn. I've often thought, though, if I ever came into money like that, I would love to not tell anybody and see how long I could do it. Yeah. And that is... It would be cool. Again, I would like to let my mom know the second she's able to, she's done working.

So my deal would be up. I would call my mom... I let her sweat for a while. No, fuck, that... No way. Yeah. You call the mom and you say, put that... Whatever you're doing, put it down.

Oh, I guess you want snap benefits, too. Geez, man. Get to work, I say. Get to work. Parents aren't going to keep their mouths shut, though. What do you give a dollar to a? They're going to tell all their friends. Homeless guy, not me.

Who's this character? I don't know. I don't know. We're just having fun. Trust me, I'm going to be giving plenty money to the homeless because if I got $158 million, I'm punching one of them clean the F out every week on Friday morning and handed them about.

20K. I know a couple. Just stand here. They just haven't scheduled. You remember when Tyrell would do that, Mr. Robot? He'd put on gloves. They'd take him under a bridge and you just beat the guy. He's like, all right.

I have a couple of pieces of audio. One is, so this will lead us to football talk because we've got our football buddies here. We pick games with them every week. It is Cirque de Soroy. They have a program tonight. You can check it out on YouTube. And every Thursday and every Tuesday. So they say.

Anyway, the Shottie press conference, not really a lot of fun, right? It was mostly about Marshawn Neeland. It was all about in Marshawn Neeland, just about. And you could just kind of jump into any part of it, like it was 25 minutes long. You know, there's been a lot of conversations with people that are clearly more of an expert than I am. It's like anywhere I jump, it's very serious. and the way they've handled this we had a Zoom meeting on you know what I mean this is not the shoddy you've ever heard before we're going to give each other grace

and time but I do promise you this these guys will be ready to play against the Raiders and we will honor Marchand with how we play not just against the Raiders but for the rest of that's that's a ton that's a weird one to say only because what If you don't do well, does that mean you didn't know? Football League is. You just didn't love him enough. It's an amazing fraternity, and I feel blessed, and I know our players do to be a part. Okay, so it's a very, very serious.

So you're like, gosh, there's not going to be any football questions, are there? Wait. Oh, no. Hard to hear the pain that some of these guys are dealing with, but it was also very uplifting to hear the strength from other guys. And that's the beauty of a team, right? Like when one side of the ball is playing good, the other side of the ball has to pick them up.

When one guy's hurting, someone else has to pick them up. If the head coach is hurting, someone's got to pick me up. And I won't, now I'm hurting. I'm hurting. And these guys have picked me up, and I've picked them up. And that's what we're going to continue to do because we love one another. And it's what a family does.

Brad. Brad Sham, Cowboys Radio 105.3, the fan. In other news, you mentioned the two defensive banks you claimed a couple times. No! Wow. That's an all-timer. Other news. You're dirty.

He's a treasure. You're dirty. Wow. I cannot believe that. Unedited? Can we move on? You know why you can't believe it? Because he's dirty.

That didn't happen. Okay, in other news. Let's get back to the question being the two defensive ends you just got. Well, you just lost one. That was from the Micah Press conference. Can we move on? Just thought we'd have to fun. He's stepping over the body.

Speaking of Shottie, though, I do have Kevin Stafansky was sending a shout out to Shottie. He didn't say it overtly. Kevin, just what progress have you seen from Dylan start one to start five? What areas have you seen drastic improvement? Well, I think with young quarterbacks, Daryl, it's understanding that there's going to be ups and downs. You know, can Dylan play better? Yes, he can.

Can we play better around him? Yes, we can. Can we coach him better? Yes, we can. so the triple yep and my final piece of football audio for you folks is uh james winston is getting the start this week for the new york football giants is they are they going to green bay no is this anyone's triple nope they're at home against green bay yeah okay i'm on fans to know that i'm going to do my best you know obviously i'm going to have fun but i'm going to execute uh have a surgical execution

and just play ball, man. This is something I've been doing since I've been four years old. Now I just get to do it in the greatest city in the world. I'm going to be saying it with my son, what's the greatest city in the world? Yeah, that's a Hamilton reference, if y'all don't know. Hell yeah. Don't you wish the Cowboys got him as their backup?

He was there. Why not? Yeah, no, I would much prefer that. He's a vibes guy. Shottie would love him. I know. Anyway, if nobody else has football audio, we can look at D's Picks versus Cirque de Soroy. Rough week last week.

For the good guys? Yeah. Yeah, we had a tough day. Yeah, we were 12 games up, and I think now a mere nine, chipping away. Chipping away. How was your week last week, bad? Yeah, no, the tech thing really screwed me. It was a weird game

They were never really in it It doesn't matter The point is I had a terrible week There was no cowboy game to float me But we're back now, baby It was the power of the triples last week Because you guys went 0 and 3 and 0 And essentially you were better than us

At every other game But we picked up a little ground So You guys went 3 and 0 on triples? Damn Yeah It's what we do Listen to this guy

He's real copy We definitely cannot pick NFL games. Look at that. What's your record against the NFL? 60 and 87. That's the bugaboo. If there's anything I know about Danny Bayless, it's he loves his Saturdays. I know.

College football Saturday. He's always. Where they play for free. Yeah, so what? We're up to 300 games now? We've picked exactly 300 games. The Dumb Zone with 145, correct. the CERC with 136.

And Jake, how many games have we paid? Oh, 100 games each person. So Jake has 58 wins out of 100. It's easy to figure out percentages this week. Mike Soroy with 51 wins. Me. I've got 47 wins. So only two guys above 500.

Cash with 43. he is slowly creeping up the charts. Can Cash Soroy win this whole thing? Danny with 42 and then Blake with 40, who I think went up against Cash in a triple play, and that's probably what you lost you the thing, right? Never challenge us Soroy to a game of Are You Pussy? Yeah.

A couple of quick payoffs here. We were somehow randomly talking just about having your wife on the show and how excruciating that would be. I think I referenced my wife reads a lot of books. I wish we could have her on. We just can't. The payoff is loser has to host an hour with their wife. I'm good with that.

This is from Letty. If Danny is involved – oh, no, this one's from Travis. If Danny is involved and loses, he has to find the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader he smoked meth with and just have that awkward conversation for an hour. Then to top it off, when the loser gets divorced due to this one hour, Dan can read the divorce petition and viewer mail. He wants to host for an hour with your wife. I don't think that would go well for Dan right now.

Our other idea from Lettie, we have the bang bus out at Rangers' opening day every year. Noxie comes out there. There's a big group of listeners. They have a big party bus out there. Opening day this year is Good Friday. And they say they need a Jesus and an Easter bunny present for the tailgate. that day. That is not a payoff.

You just got to walk around dressed like Jesus. Do you feel like that's a good payoff? That'd just be more fun. I can't, I'm not the guy to ask. Or a bunny? Who wouldn't want to be wearing a bunny? You'd be hot. Yeah.

But other than that. All right, so, you know, we're throwing payoffs out here because we still don't have one. We pretty much do. I really want to ride the Chiefs Wave. I know they lost last week, but I feel like it doesn't really change who they are. Oh, are we picking now? You're picking?

Yeah, sure. Okay. And Jared's been taking the Chiefs, just because it didn't work once. It feels like... I don't think they lost last week. I think they were on by. Week before...

They lost one of the games since they've been back, that we thought they were back. They lost that Buffalo. Yeah. Where... And then, you know, who beat Buffalo after that. I heard about that. Yeah.

Damn right. I heard about that. Did you hear that Mike McDaniel drove by a Buffalo Bills watching party bar after the game? He just rolled the window down slow. In like a quarter of a million dollar car. To troll their fans, yeah. Leaned his oozy out of the passenger window. A bunch of people took pictures of it.

It did look very Grand Theft Auto. Like he's his city. They asked him about it at his press conference and he was like, AI. Who knows what they can do with AI? That's a good answer. Yeah. Cowboys Raiders is super tasty.

You know, the Marchon bump. I feel like that gets them over there. But I am going to take the season-defining game for the pre-season Heisman Trophy favorite. I'm taking Arch Manning in Texas plus six at Georgia Saturday night. The transformation is complete. Arch has been playing great. and I think this is one where people are like, oh, yeah, he's awesome, we forgot.

Let's give me the triple on Texas. By how much? They get six. They're getting six. Whipple, triple play. And, of course, I'll take the Cowboys. Oh, yeah, I forgot about the Cowboy game is Cowboys favored by three and a half.

Again. In elevation. Quinnon, emotion. That's the thing about the emotion. You could get the bump. You have to wait till after. Right, to decide how this game affected them. But it does seem like the Raiders are kind of circling the drain.

It doesn't seem like that whole... You should have treated Pete Carroll like the NFL treated Bill Belichick. Team like that. Yeah, I think you're kind of old. Busted up team, backup quarterback, just spare-ass West Coast team. They could never just beat the Cowboys in a must-win game like the Cardinals just did. I mean, yeah, if the Cowboys somehow lose this game. We're just delaying the inevitable, but yes, it would be over.

Okay, Mike Soroy. Thank you for having me and us on the show. We had another team meeting this week. Thank you. And we had just open discourse. I'm like Danny. Can Danny Bayless pick better? Yes, he can.

Can Cassaroy choose better in these games? Yes, he can. I looked in the mirror. Can I choose better even though I'm doing better than them? Yes, I can. College, pro, yes, we can do better at all of them. So I feel like we're going to keep the momentum going. I am a believer in Quinn and Williams more so than my brother.

I think this dude is good enough to actually make like a seeable difference in how good their defense is. And I'm taking the Cowboys minus three and a half to, I think you should be able to score too. So give me the Cowboys, single play there. Triple, I am more excited about this triple than any other. Cash, you might freak out on this. I told you a few weeks ago, we have something called the Home Unranked Favorite versus Ranked Team. It's one of my favorite trends in football.

I'm 0 for one with this particular trend in picks with friends, but I still believe in it and support it. And we have a game in Durham, North Carolina. Home unranked favorite versus a ranked team. Yes, home unranked favorite versus ranked team. And who do you pick in that? I am taking the Manny Diaz coached Duke Blue Devils as a minus four favorite at home against Virginia, who my models think is a fraud.

I am taking, yeah, my models show that Virginia is full of shit. Duke minus four, the fighting Manny Diaz's are my triple play this week. And Cash and I will get the pure joy. of being in the building because we are going to the Duke Virginia game this weekend. Damn, dude. Picking on presents is always a... Wait. And I have direct access to the head coach.

Can you ask him if they can get a stop? This triple play. Could they try to get a stop? Wait, with Mike, we know his employment status and everything. He's now traveling to go to college football games. He's just having fun every weekend. Is he the guy that... Are you giving me a hint?

You're the guy that won a hundred. $158 million? The guy said he'd be giving me hints here and there. Yeah. Yeah, last weekend, I was miserably poor, and I've not been on a trip in about a year. This weekend, fired up. We're going to Duke. Okay, so I'm next.

Oh, go ahead. We're also actually going. Well, I'm excited about this, and it's a little sport, but we're going on Friday night to Cameron Indoor, first game ever to see Duke basketball play at home, which, you know, on the big gay bucket list. list of sports that's awesome somewhere which i'm i'm pretty stoked about so we're going to have a good time and hit a little triple in north carolina coach k who's the coach there who can name the coach i can't they've been through the other guy mannie daz's friend flip skipperson

it's john jerky parks um let me ask you guys this because i saw this in the news and i thought I'm going to ask the Cirque Boys this. Do you know who won the American League Cy Young? Goobel. I'll give you a couple of hints. One is he plays for the Tigers. And two, he won it last year as well. Back to back.

And I read his name and I thought. He already said it. Who? Tarek's Goobel. is that who it is yeah i mean i knew he wanted it i learned that name for the first time five seconds ago tarreek scubel or as i knew rick i don't know how people say right why don't they go back to uh well go to where i don't know he doesn't look like you think he does i promise you that

now he had a game against the rangers this year where yes as a white man named tarreek he had like 14 strikeouts. He's a freaking problem. It's fun. As evidenced by the fact that he just want to Cy Young, again. Usually means you're a problem. I'm here to declare.

Yeah. He's very good. Nice to baseball talk, Dan. I just want to throw it in there. A little sports talk, you know. It is my turn to pick. I will pick the Raiders to cover at home.

Hmm. Hater. Cowboys to win. It'll be a tight one. Brandon Aubrey, last second field goal. From 70. In the elevation. Okay.

We have some tasty nugs on the schedule, I think. I kind of like, I'm interested in lions at Eagles. Eagles favor by two and a half. Lions, they're coming off a big win where Dan Campbell, took over play calling. Did you see that? I did. Did you see the very opportune time

he chose to take over play calling? No. They're playing Washington. Washington, who just lost by 20, he takes over play calling. Now they lose by 20 again. I think that's tasty, but I'm not going to take it.

I also think kind of tasty is the Browns. Baltimore on their third straight road game, Lamar Jackson might still be hurt. This is always the Browns. Super Bowl, you know, facing Baltimore. But I just looked, Dylan Gabriel, still their starting quarterback, we're going to stay away from the Browns. But what we are going to see here is more elevation.

You've got that Denver Broncos at 8 and 2 facing Kansas City at 5 and 4. That doesn't seem right. that those are the records. Boy, if Kansas City loses this game, you could be really talking about they're not going to win the division. This is kind of a must-win game. Patrick Chertan still out.

Patrick Mahomes coming off a loss. Oh, yeah. Andy Reed, coming off a buy. Don't hurt a hammer. that's an easy triple play yes thank you I was hoping somebody in game

hell yeah big ups now we go to or do you want to give a plug to a sponsor first no we're fine oh we're fine for now well then let's go to cash

siroy you guys hear jelaine maxwell is getting unlimited toilet paper and preferential treatment in prison yeah i did i heard that they're also letting her bump donuts with the theranos lady oh wow bump donuts now that's something huh that's new uncle jake are they in the same prison yeah my god that's so great i'd pay to watch that on paperview

hell yeah i like them both is there something wrong like really is that a headline like she has unlimited toilet paper i would want that i don't want somebody with a dirty backside walking around the prison especially not her but yeah i mean anytime there's a story about prison probably that thin toilet it's not like sherman no yeah single fly bro yeah you're gonna need unlimited right you're wrapping it around your hand a hundred times we've all been there bear paw yeah all right go ahead cash sirroy all right boys uh i've been i'm pretty good with the count

boys actually as far as things go and I'm really not comfy with this freaking pick not confident Raiders only have two wins but they've played close games against some good teams recently you got Gino Smith who's been playing like shit he's getting arguments with his sideline mates and then he's getting run over because they won't block for him and Ashton Gentry has not done anything like he's supposed to do chip Kelly baby They haven't played the Cowboys defense who makes everybody look amazing. So I like points. I like the Raiders plus three and a half.

And, yes, I was prepared to go the same route as Mikey because the Duke Blue Devils are getting the Cirque bump. And something that he forgot to mention. That's the first thing you would have known about if you bike won the 158 million, the Cirque bump. Right. Yeah. I definitely thought that was something else. It is also very probable. Eight to ten.

It's also very probable that we could be on the sideline for the game, for the entirety of the game. So all of that was a headset. Mani giving you guys a headset? You need a little Woody Hayes on some guy running down the sideline? Sure. Yeah. giving the business but since Mikey

Triple Played him I can so I'll take Western Kentucky to cover 13 and a half at home against Middle Tennessee Wow Wow Triple Whipple That's a subscription pick right there

What are you talking about Hill Topper Maverick McIver to Matthew Henry All this day come up Somebody looked at their Somebody looked at their searchable PDF file today You cannot stop Lavelle Wright at the goal line.

Geez, I'm just looking at these now. You mentioned your cowboy right. I'm two and seven. Because you're a hater. All right, Danny Bayless. You're with me. You're with me, Dan. Mikey took Cowboys, Cash, took Raiders.

I'll take Cowboys. I can't see them losing three in a row. I mean, I can. I was going to say. Not to them. There's no way, right? Who's with me? Yay.

Jake and Mikey are Triple play Coming off the week of the most unlikely triple play possibly ever tripling Miami against Buffalo Walk in the park That worked

I don't know how But you could save some of those points, huh? The thing that's funny is I almost picked Green Bay last week at home over Philadelphia and triple them I can't see them going into New York and not just absolutely demolishing the giants

by more obviously more than the seven that the giants are getting and they are going to go there and just smear James in the greatest city in the world damn triple play Packer Who's their coach? Cofca, who I believe was once a cowboy camp hand.

Mike Cofca, is that his name? Yeah, okay. Isn't that like a food at a Mediterranean restaurant? It definitely sounds like it. New coach bump? I'll have the Kafka's, vegetables, and rice, please. Remember this last year? Didn't the Saints get this?

Or not. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it happens sometimes, but the Cowboys just had a guy die and you guys are denying that bump. the dayball bump, get it out of here. By the way, Dayball's the one who drafted Jackson DART. You know, you kept doing like the, how is this Joe Sheen guy have a job? Well, you know they had all those cameras in there during the offseason? He didn't want anything to do with DART.

How does Joe Shane have a job? The only thing they have is DART. Are they going to let Joe Shane hire the next head coach? That's what they say. That's what they say. Like he's the guy. Patrick Dumont School of Ownership. Dable's job wasn't to let Sequine walk.

No. Or to lock up Daniel Jones and then let Daniel Jones walk? He's a slippery fellow. Anyway, Blake Jones. I believe in the death bump. It was definitely apparent when Romo went up to Cincinnati and they won that one for Jerry Brown. The Raiders stink.

The Cowboys can score. I like Cowboys minus three and a half. for the triple that column's a wash I sense of theme Daniel I'm going to go to the desert

oh chap I see BYU you only favored by four and a half against the horn frogs who just took an absolute dump at Amon G. Carter last Saturday

BYU got embarrassed in Lubbick they're going to whip some horn frog ass give me some BYU minus four and a half for my triple Sunny safe Whipple, Whipple, Play. I'm hearing rumblings that he's lost

the fan base. I'm hearing he's taking a million dollars from pro-Israel camps, so he's about to get run out. Hell yeah. Hey Dan. Is Vegas north or south of Denver? north or south of Denver?

So it's one of them? All right, if it's one of them, it's north. If it's one of them... You're undefeated, you're perfect. Everything you do is perfectly incorrect. Never stop. It's not north? I wouldn't have got this.

I would have said they're about level. Yeah, that's what I thought. Vegas is south of Colorado. You know, it's the desert. Denver is cold, fellas. Yeah, I know, but the ski there. But it's west. You know what the thing is, I don't.

don't know where in Nevada, Las Vegas is. That's my biggest. I know you can drive there from L.A. Yeah. Because they did that in swingers. Yeah. That's a good buddy, bump it. All right.

Well, hey, uh, hey, what flag is this? You guys want to guess on a flag? Clayton just threw a flag up. We got a state flag. No, I don't want to do it. Goodbye, guys. Come on. The eggloo, the eggloose steak?

That looked like a beehive and mountains. Everybody tune into a Cirque to Soroy tonight. That was Utah. Bye. And root against all of their picks this weekend. They think we're actually matching up picks and thinking about the picks. You are.

I thought about it right there. All right, you want me to switch a pick? I will. Let's see here. We've already done Lucy. Oh, we're going to do the news. How about brought to us by Poncho? What do you know about poncho?

Comfortable outdoor shirts, I guess you'd call it that. You know, they've made fishing shirts out there for a long time, but they're always kind of boxy. They didn't look good. Poncho makes outdoor performance shorts. So whether you're out, I don't know, playing with the family, going camping, or you're producing the Dallas Cowboys National Radio Broadcast. Yeah, you need to look good.

A poncho shirt will do your right. A little bit more tailored. Just a great shirt. got SPF built into it, so it's helping you with the sun. It's lightweight. Nothing better than a poncho shirt.

I just was made aware over the weekend that there's some Like we're picking first. They're chasing ghosts, as you see. They're hearing whispers. I'm like, oh, I think they're doing this because of this or that. Here's. Jeez.

Here's Jay with the show. Something's wrong with the idea. Well, I'm actually going to start with a sports story that I wanted to make sure I got. to today, Dan, are you aware of what is happening with Baylor and its sports? No. The Baylor Athletic Director, Mack Rhodes, stepped down, stepped aside today. And I was intending on doing this story earlier in the week because it was a popular one in the

group chat. Mac Rhodes, one of these new agey college ADs, like it used to all be guys that you'd kind of of never see you're hear from. And then you got the funny guy from TCU and he's changed the game. CDC? Hasn't he changed the game? Bless the move for him. He's the funny one.

CDC, yeah, bless the moon for him. Well, this guy's one of those, I guess. He is also currently serving as the chairperson for the college football playoff selection committee. Meeting right there at the Gaylord. So he's involved. the first incident that was reported regarding this guy he was alleged to have taken exception

to a gold long-sleeved undershirt that was being worn by their tied-in Michael Trigg during their September 20th game against Arizona State. Pull Trigg. This kid was pulling Tray. So he had a yellow long-sleeve on and everyone else was wearing white. and on the sideline before the game

because apparently ADs are just on the sideline before games he went up to Trigg as the ball was being kicked off to start the game and while putting his hands on the player asked him what the fuck are you wearing this yellow shirt for multiple assistants were around when the incident occurred they were about to take the field the incident festered throughout the game assistant coach is trying to calm Trigg down regarding the incident

as he's like, what the hell? Who is, what is going on? So after the game, as players are making their way around the field to thank fans, which they lost, I think, the last second field goal by Arizona State

and Sam F and Howe. Yeah, love it. Love it. As they were getting ready for the school song, Mack Rhodes was standing behind Trigg, the player, and other coaches. Multiple witnesses

say that while Trigg went to the, be with his family, the player, an assistant coach was visiting with that. family. Probably like doing the, hey, you might have seen what happened there. We're working through it. It's going to be okay. While he's doing that, the AD comes back up and is like, get the fuck away from him. Get away. Like grabs the coach's arm and is like yelling the whole time.

So he stepped down today or stepped aside. And apparently it's not even over that. That's something that Baylor says was investigated internally. It's something else. There's another incident. So I don't know if this guy's just fighting people. They're not saying what the other one is? No. It's just saying personal reasons, but they did say it's unrelated to that September 20th incident.

It stems from another ongoing Baylor investigation into completely different allegations involving roads. Did you just imagine, like, running up to a, like some guy, this clown who looks like he's just maybe getting into the Beast Feast meeting with Bart Rager's car dealerships? Just feels like. He's going to go up to the, dude, this kid is a big boy. He's a D1 tied in that transferred from USC. Yeah, wouldn't that be a, I'm going to put this in my notes app and we'll talk to the head coach about this this week when, if indeed that is a issue that I cared that much about? Yeah. The sideline before the game?

I don't know how this affects Dave Aranda. He of Throw the Midget fame. Right. But everyone's been calling for him to get fired since the start of the year. Remember his speech, Dan? He was watching Wolf of Wall Street. Oh. All right.

I'm not against that. No, no. Are we? But, you know, who knows how this is going to work? because this guy's going to have to take a little bit of a back seat here. Still getting paid? I'm sure. I'm sure of it.

And big news from the government side of things. I told you guys that this was a possibility. The federal hemp ban is now threatening to wipe out THC in Texas. So the bill that they signed that Trump said, signed bans all THC products, nearly all THC products. So this is the stuff they slide in when, I go, no, no, this is about. I have the funniest one of those you could imagine. I was watching Fox 4 last night.

Oh, I'll kill all that, Blake. I was watching Fox 4. And they're going over what everything, what's going to happen with the shutdown, air traffic control. And then I just hear this, wait, what? The FAA says flight cuts will stay at 6% rather than continuing to go up to, 10% as air traffic controllers return to normal operations. Checks for federal workers who worked without pay will resume on Friday.

On Friday. It's better than... The measure also reverses layoffs of workers that happen during the shutdown, and it includes a measure that would allow eight Republican senators to potentially collect $500,000 each for being investigated for the January 6th Capitol riot. I'm sorry, what? What is that to do it? A little I'm sorry

Baby bitch Wow Maybe fight me fight this case Half a millie if you want the Rice Krispy treats back That's in there? Yeah And then this Also hidden in the measure

A reversal of the 2018 Farm Bill Loophole which could effectively End the nation's hemp industry Which means legal weed So any of the stuff that you get in I don't know Early Bird,

seltzers, the drinks, the edibles you get that are, you know, Delta 8, Delta 9 that wheels, Governor Abbott actually fought for, for whatever reason, to keep, this bill would override all that. They should have held out for for weeks. and in a story that I swear gets done every year of my life the United States has ended production of the penny no the story has always been that they should

they're about to that they should I mean I told you guys on the Denver tour the guy the tour guide when he showed the men he was like you know it actually costs more than a cent to make a penny no wonder we're in debt but that's just my two cents but we're we're stopping it we're stopping it the penny introduced in 1793

the last time we discontinued a coin was the half cent in 1857 half cent 50 cent piece I like that oh excuse me half a half dollar half cent It's half cent Yeah

Half cent Clayton you got any half cents There was a half cent Yeah Like those are actually Pretty hard to find I have a three cent piece though Is that some sort of

Special gang Type Who's on it? We didn't put people on coins Back then player You know that is a That's just a cow There's a lot of stuff like that

don't think people realize, right? Like putting in God we trust. That wasn't always there. It was like the 50s or something. Yeah. So the idea that we just put people on coins and it's like, oh, that's what you do. No. Because I did a deep dive on the pledge in schools the other day.

I don't know why it was odd to me that we still do that. But it feels very arcane. But they do it. It feels kind of... North Korea. Russia, yeah. state but I guess it is a state

institution the school yeah it is but in practice we don't really do a whole lot of like we demand your fealty and swear this to the United States but I did look it up in other

it's not common Mexico does it but that's about the only other quote developed country you're going to find what other countries do is they make you do it if you're a foreigner not if you're a native citizen but if you're a foreigner yeah

we're going to have you swearing allegiance there's a quote in this story like every day they just had the foreign kids get up I mean it's probably not every day but they certainly do when they give you your

citizenship most pity production ended over the summer there's a quote in here from a man who worked at this mint where they made the last ones he says quote it's an emotional

day for sure. Honey, what's wrong? Well, today was the last day I pressed a penny. What do you do? What do you think when the grocery store does the, do you want to round up? I violently select no.

And I kind of let them know that I'm in on the ruse. You know. Like it's 1487. We could just make this $15 if you want to donate 13 cents to this. No, and I don't, I think people have told me that my, like, that's just to help them duck taxes thing, it's more complicated than that, don't care. Don't care about the truth anymore. Duck taxes? Well, yeah, because they're writing off all those.

Yeah, that's what I've always thought. Yeah. When they're like, do you want to donate this? I'm like, well, wait, if I donate it, now you're going to donate it, and then Kroger gets the right off. Yeah. I mean. What if? But the average person doesn't know that.

that you know i actually think that um this is my my second i'll call it gumby thought politically of the day uh there's just a lot of stuff people don't know is happening that if they did know we'd all be on the same side more like be it tax things or for this company to move here they give them all this stuff like most of the shit that happens people don't get to weigh in on they don't know about it just happens and but most people people people would be like, yeah, that's kind of messed up. We shouldn't do that for companies, but it just happens. So you basically got high and thought, if everyone thought the way that I did, they'd agree with me?

Not necessarily think the way I think, but, you know, that's a good take on it. Sure. You don't have to get high to be thinking that. You definitely don't. I don't know if you guys can't. care about this or not, but I think it's an interesting story, even though we're not in Dallas. Dallas is basically debating moving out of Dallas City Hall. The city council voted last night that they're going to start looking around.

They're going to fire up Zillow. I don't understand. Well, they say that it needs a lot of... Dallas. The city of Dallas. I mean, I don't know if I would necessarily say iconic, but it's pretty... What about a Renault? Arlington.

Like everything else. Oh, they moved to town. Yeah. Yeah. They're next to Cowboys Stadium. Pretty kick at. The Bowling Hall of Fame. If they'll build it for free, right?

Taxpayer money. Yeah, that'd be great. Get an abatement for that. They say that it's just a money pit. That they'd be way better off leasing an office tower that they could say between $40 and $100 billion over the course of the next decade, that the repairs aren't worth it, that the only reason to stay there.

there is nostalgia um so and the people who say that they're trying to get out and want them to stay are speculating that the only reason they're trying to get out of this site is so that they can sell it to an NBA team because this land has been on that end of downtown has been targeted as a potential open site for an arena and all of a sudden they're like we think these are The pairs are too much. I think we might like to get out of here. And just save everybody a lot of money. Is there a money trail?

Dude, I feel like all of our local stories are going to trace back to the Adelson's over the next 10 years. Like, what's getting built? Who's mad at who? Whatever. And in 10 years, when this is all on fire and a hellscape and a post-apocalyptic situation, we'll know who to blame? Yeah. Cars are overturned. Yeah.

Angelo's like the king of the city wearing a big robe And we won't We won't get anything from Angelo It'll be a week or so, right? Two weeks What if he's the guy that got $158 million? No, I got an angelo story for you tomorrow.

Okay You won't remember. And then this is an insane story. There's going to be a lot of causation, not correlation here but a woman a woman who is a republican congressman staffer and uh she works in in bayer county which is down near the hill country she lived in uvaldi she died of suicide this congressional staffer did and she died of suicide via self-immolation

did she do it publicly somewhere because i've never heard of self-immolation in the privacy of your own home i i don't like you're usually making a a big scene protesting something no she was in she was alone in her backyard huh but she was you know she was a staffer for u s representative tony gonzalez which at the time of the uvaldi shooting he was the representative of the chief Tardin? Is he Uvaldi the chiefs? He said Tony Gonzalez. Oh, damn, you're a step ahead of me.

You know he played basketball. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if... I don't know if they're trying to do a straight this lady was dealing with Yuval. It's a pretty aggressive way to kill yourself. And she was on staff. Also, it's been quite a few years now.

And that's, so with this going on, Chuck Norris talked to the writers and said, look. We're going to take this thing head on. We need to let everybody know that this is nothing to feel. That is such a great point, though. Just the genesis of that idea, where in the writer's room where they were like, we can handle this, we can meet the moment.

We can be important. We can contribute to the conversation. You think this is just a show about, you know, no, I mean, we can really tackle the issues of the day. That's, they thought they nailed it. And I would say they're right. Yeah, they did. Call H.J.O. So today is November 13th, this day in Dumb Zone history.

You came in on this day in 2020 with you and Jake's Doppel Rangers. I guess you had gone to the stadium. He said you waited in line to get your Doppel Rangers, the cardboard cutouts that were at the Rangers games in 2020. Yeah. Do you still have them? Yeah. I got them back there.

Just in case we have an appearance we don't want to go to, people could just take a picture with that. And then we got an email from a P1 about his mom's co-worker who married the doctor that delivered her. Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah. That's great. As long as the doctor was a man, it's great.

Otherwise, it's sick. Do you think he knew right away? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's the freshest of nursery visits you can possibly have. that's ground floor that's like yeah you saw lebron when he was in coach bro offering johnny manzo or whoever yeah as soon as he slapped the butt hey

whoa it's awful firm god put a tracking thing on it an little apple air pod under her uh fingernail uh other birthdays today we have oh man there's a really good a bunch of audio that could come from today's birthdays. Michael Bennett is 40. He's a former cowboy and he was a gold medalist in the Black Olympics.

Flag burner. Vinnie Testaverty is 62. Wow. Vinnie Testaver. I got it right here. Is that a shortcut on your desktop? How'd you get this so quick? Vinatesta Verdi, yeah.

All that are all that Those are the days Gerald Laird is 46 Wow Ranger I bet he coaches or something A select team Yeah

God you know about all that Parents because he used to play ball That's insane dude No but I'll want Well, I guess, you know, it's fairly common because I'm trying to think if, I don't think Rusty Greer maybe, maybe he wasn't doing it. But a lot of these like private high schools where the coaches don't have to be teachers, their baseball coaches are just guys like Gerald Laird and Rusty or whoever. Like there's an insane amount of former fringy type ballplayers that are just coaches at local high schools now. In Arizona, he's got a 12 U team.

Thank you. Because a couple of weeks ago, some pitcher got in trouble because it was Matt Garza had like a meltdown at a youth game. I'm like, why is Matt Garza coaching 13-year-old baseball? Apparently it's a thing. And you even mentioned earlier, you said something about like even players who aren't really at that caliber are doing this. And it's because parents like us will read. that's what held them back is that they weren't like other people didn't play against the competition that they should have been against and they will be better if they do this so even though they don't belong there they're going to try and make them do it well and they got the money to do it you got to find that balance because getting your head kicked in is not not a fun way to learn sports as drubel cabrera is 40 meta world peace is 46 legend Greg Abbott is 68.

Hemp. Jimmy Kimmel is 58. Man, I saw Kimmel quote the other night that made me want to cut my own junk off. Do you think he's why Hillary lost? Yeah. So. That's a good one. All right.

Well, we might have more on that. So I saw a couple quotes from this article where he was talking about how when they told their kids. Yes. Like they cried and they wanted to know if they could sell their. Is explaining anything to your kids? We call this Wakanda Forever. Do you want to hear the podcast they were on? Oh, there's audio?

Probably not. Hell yes, I do. I haven't listened to it all yet, but this is the beginning of the podcast. And tell me if you would stay tuned for this podcast. Oh. I hate it. The reason we're celebrating in this strange way is that we just finished the most. delightful, hopeful, honest, funny, hilarious conversations with our friends and neighbors

and two people who have been, well, in the news lately, and their names are Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNarney. And you all just, you're going to learn everything in this interview they talk about the day everything went down with this just funny and hopeful and it's uh just get to the stuff no but i might have more on that tomorrow it was the wakonda forever instead of that do the female ref uh when ruth bader ginsberg died that was a big one i told my daughter about r bg's passing and he said that no but that's a thing that and that's what they asked if trump did it and i said yes

No, daddy. Speaking of daughter's stuff, so I saw one of my neighbors was walking by, lady. Whoa. Hell yeah. Walking her dog, and I was talking to her, and she congratulated me on Luca, or on Nico, which is an odd thing, but I got a ton of text, like people are telling me that they're happy for me that Nico got fired, which seems odd, feels weird, because I don't know. It's an empty feeling almost.

I mean, I'm glad. But, you know, and then she went on to tell me how important Luca was to their family. She has, like, a 14-year-old boy who actually cried the next morning and thought his sister, because his sister told him, couldn't wait to tell him. Oh, that sucks. And then he was crying, and she, you know, he was hoping it was a prank. But, like, literally crying, just because, like, that's, and remember when you were that age, hell, remember you now. but like sports was everything you know had Vince Young transferred

or had you taken Dirk from me I would have I would have had a meltdown a physical sobbing meltdown especially then if Dirk is then afterwards like I don't know where this came from I wanted to stay here where was I

Here's this quick quote from Kimmel's podcast Here's his wife It hurts me so much because the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man and to me, my family voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and not voting for me

and my family. She said she made last ditch efforts to try to convince them to not vote for the bad man. You know how annoying that phone call was? It's Molly. I'm just pleading with you.

I like... I'm pleading with you. Did you guys? have maybe you didn't but when I was a kid there was no it was kind of like a thing like you didn't talk about who you voted for yeah and you didn't talk about the salary

you made stuff like that was like considered uncouth and like politics that's for yourself to know so anyways Dave I'm fucking my wife in the ass over here yeah that is what I think about that that is a bit who did that Chappelle okay
