You are not looking live at the game day men's health. That's downtown. That's downtown Dallas. which makes it confusing. Like we're very far away from Dallas. But we're really

close to the Dallas Cowboys. That's because we're in Arlington. The home of everything. The home of everything. Including. The city that asks the question and answers, you really can have it all. Are you sure? I mean, is there

a water slide park here? Yeah. Oh, actually, I don't like football. I'd rather go see some uh baseball we've got national past then i really like wax oh my gosh i got a whole museum yeah um you like football in the spring uh only at only at baseball stadiums boy what about it's your day all right i got one for you that you'll never be able to find arlington the city kings they call it you're never going to be able to find this i'm going to throw a wrench in everything What about a place that will make pizza like they do in Italy?

Like, this is way beyond the culture that Arlington is able to say. No, they've got a Conne Rousseau. That's right. The only place where that can be done in DFW, and they've got that too. I thought you were going to go with the Bowling Museum, which they also have. The Museum. Oh, the Hall of Fame. Excuse me, yeah, that's right.

Or is it the Hall of Fame and Museum? I mean, you can't have a Hall of Fame. And, like, the training room. Right. You have to have a museum and a gift shop So you can buy some Pete Weber What do you call the hand thing? Yeah, I don't know.

Not a glove, I meant the thing That kind of keeps your hands stable When you're bowling is, don't you? Do people do a brace for bowling? Definitely. Okay. Is that cheating? Blake said that like a guy who might.

Is that cheating, you think? I don't think it's cheating. Is that like the real long putter or something? The body putter? Yeah. That's kind of lame. How come nobody's taken the tour by storm with just a between the legs,

like a Happy Gilmore-style bowling thing. Don't you feel like somebody would have figured that out by now? Golf is sacred, okay? But what is the, like, every bowler, are they the same? Nobody's taking a crack at being... Being crazy guy? Yeah. Maybe they have, and the reason you haven't seen it

is because it is unsuccessful. The and-one tour of bowling? There you go. Exactly. Maybe Happy Gilmore is like a movie, and you actually haven't seen that either. That's also true, but I'm just saying it feels like in bowling, it would be way more likely that you could just, maybe I'm selling bowling short. You are diminishing the greatness of

the sport of bowling. Is it because you think it's easy? You do, don't you? I bowled a 238 once. It's because you mock it. Yeah, but you threw a straight ball. I did. That's what I'm saying. That's pretty badass. I like bowling. I do too. Today feels like bowling weather. It definitely does. So if you made it here to start the show, I give you a hearty congratulations. Yeah. The elements, not on our side today. Because I barely made it. Flash flood warning.

It's real. Hydroplane. Did you? Difficulty. No, you can, though, if you're not an expert driver. If you're not the Emmett Smith of driving. Steve Novielo is not here, so I'm not sure if we can do gay, not gay. or not, but putting your hazards on.

Where are we fall on that? Oh, my gosh. Why don't you just drive, you baby? A lot of hazards. How about hazards in the middle lane? I know your car's there. We're in the big ass free. I'd see your car.

What am I supposed? Oh, God. Oh, hazard guy coming through. How about hazard? Everyone make a lane. Well, pull over to the far right lane if you're going to do that. We're in this together, man. I'm not, I don't need that aggressiveness.

Yeah. Anyway, yeah, we're at Connie Roso in our, We are. We're giving thanks today. We are. This is our Thanksgiving pre-game show. Is this Friendsgiving? This is our Friendsgiving. Why didn't we label it as that? We put out a flyer and everything. We're like, what do we put on the flyer? We were caught up on the premier live event thing. Location? Time.

We're caught up on the flyer. We're making for our remote next week at Kane and Ables in Austin, where I had to explain to our marketing lady why we needed a jar in the picture. Did you tell her the whole story? I was like, the Aggie jar. She's like, what? I never heard of the Aggie jar. Yeah. I said, we'll sit down, dear.

Yes. Audrey, our sweet, sweet graphics lady, learned about the Aggie Jizz jar. I toned it down a little, geez, Blake is the, or Jake is the Kool-Aid man. No doubt. People are just trying to eat their pizza. Hey, Audrey.

Well, they're going to eat it half off, all right? The jar's full of. We're covering for it. I'm like, well, it is. Then I described it as a self-pleasureing the cadets that they put it on the thing. She just started laughing. She did. She enjoyed the self-pleasure thing.

If I had come in like Jake, I'm not sure. She might have called HR. To which we would have laughed. That's right. Because we do not have an HR. But yeah, come here to this, Coné Roso today while we are here. Tell the server that you are here at the behest of the dump. The dumb zone, that's us.

Or Joe Rogan. Yeah. Or Joe Rogan. Or the fan. You think Joe Rogan is paying for half of people's lunch? No, but today the dumb zone is. We'll pay for half your lunch. Come on out.

Maybe we can pick up. Some people will just lie. If you're here, just say you're here for this. I put it on Twitter, we're going to pay half your check, including the booze because is that legal to do? Just because when you have a business account or whatever, like the ticket, when we worked there and we would come back from a work trip and turn in the expenses they would just cross off if they saw a drink they once crossed off a fancy coffee that I had bought but they thought

it was an alcoholic beverage so they're like nope can't this a billion dollar corporation no on the 695 for this yeah but it like they are looking at it that close to cut 695 yeah but if they're with fan and tree farm you can treat them to whatever they want. Well, we're treating you to whatever you want today, half off, including the booze. They would find out later how to cut more money off the budget when it comes to me. As it pertains to me. Yeah, we're not going to cover your Uber, but if you want to come in and get after it, start the weekend early, we'll cover your booze.

I used to have to fight to make the case that a Red Bull or a five-hour energy is functionally the same thing as a coffee and thus should be covered. Why wouldn't five-hour energy be covered? Really? I remember this. It's like... They knocked off five-hour energy off the receipt. Yeah. Yeah, it was kind of an excess purchase.

Why would anyone want to leave? That's not specific to them, though. No. So here, here's what we want to do today. We have a tremendously packed show. Brandon Aubrey, number one. He'll be with us in a few minutes. He's the kicker for the Dallas Cut.

Hey, he works right down the street. Yes, he does. Do you think that's a thing your dad would say? He could probably kick it there. He would say it's a stone's throw from here. And he would, what about a nine iron? How about just an Aubrey kick? There you go.

Yeah, anyway, he'll join us to talk about his trip to the desert. And whether he saw CD puking into a plant. Did you guys hear that? Oh, yeah, man. Did you say you saw him in the lobby at like nine? I saw pickings in the lobby at 9. Okay. The story is that people saw...

I can't believe if people saw C.D. Lamb puking in a casino at 7 a.m. The day of the game... Can I give you a... There's no pictures of it. So there's a lot... I'm with you, but that doesn't mean he wasn't still, like, out late and went way too hard. Mm-hmm. But there's a lot of rumors out there about a lot of stuff right now.

regarding the Cowboys but I was just thinking what if it's a deal where because we know GP was ready to go bright-eyed bushy-tailed where also were using bushy-tailed at 9 a.m. But we also know that Pickens

has been late a lot this year and I almost thought what if it's a situation where CD actually did do whatever was late was not where he needed to be and they're like we need to probably do something to him

but we kind of have been letting pickens be late all year and it would be weird now if we just told cd you're sitting for the first series while this guy's been asking for it like all year i think about this like with kids you know if you've been letting one of them get away with something yeah you can't just all of a sudden yeah i i don't i have no inside knowledge on that one missing meetings and now you're busting me on pukin in the casino at 7 a.m. on the day of the game, now you're upset.

And they're just pointing at each other, like, well, he misses meetings. That's what I'm saying. Is it one guy, he's like, they're like, you got to sit, you were late. He's like, what about him? He's been a bunches of times at home. I was here.

I didn't miss curfew. Yeah. Was this just off the air we were talking about, like we wondered, did Shottie kind of just pull them both aside and go, look, the whole team knows. And I got to do something. Yeah. And I'll get you your targets after.

I'm not mad at you. I'm going to make sure you both have big games. We're going to go get Legos on the way home. But for now, everyone has to make it play along. Because it was very oddly just made a, instead of we handle these things behind closed doors, it was the exact opposite. It's the, we're going to make this as public as you can make it. We're going to tell the PR, like Tad, or Tad's going to assign somebody to go and tell Lisa Salters.

We're just going to, we'll be cryptic about it. We're not going to tell them exactly what you did. But we're going to just let everybody know that you're going to. getting a public spanking and then we'll laugh about it later we'll have a shoddy together we're going to be lighting the the air up in the second drive of the game and would that as a superstar of a team would that endear you more to that coach like okay yeah i'm i mean that's definitely what today's player wants is like look i know let's just do the public facing thing it looks like i took it but you know but we all know we all know the drill here and he's telling him look i wouldn't do this

against Philly. No, 100%. Yeah, I love it. It makes me feel like we're in the 90s. The Cowboys have receivers that are out of control. Oh, they were four or five and one, too?

That part is less like the 90s. We broke some news on Tuesday and then it got really big. It's true, actually. On Business Wednesday, the whole Bill Belichick thing. Who had that? Somebody emailed one of you guys? Yeah, a listener emailed me

whose daughter is in her teens. And she, they live in Raleigh, North Carolina. And the daughter goes to a cheer, like a cheer studio, I guess. And they put on showcases. And he was there to watch his daughter. And his daughter saw Bill Belichick in the crowd, called her dad over. And that's when he realized that Bill Belichick was there to watch his 22, 23-year-old girlfriend and life manager who was there to dance at.

on the top-tier team at that studio. She's their center flyer. And then, yes, and then by the end of the day, several other photos of that interaction were out there. But this is not a big place. It wasn't like it was at, you know, a college basketball stadium or something. This was at a small place.

And we just happened to have a guy there. Okay, that was the one you were like, look, I can't save this for viewer mail. This is so big. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And I even had it the day before and thought, and I didn't want to get the guy's name out there because I'm like, dude, they're going to know, I would think. But apparently a lot of people were taking pictures of Bill Belichick at his girlfriend's dance recital.

CD Lamb in Vegas, certainly not as famous as Bill Belichick just stands out anywhere. So as far as I got to get a picture here, you know, I could see CD Lamb in Vegas blending in more. Do you not remember during the last game stream, Brent Crable had a CD Vegas story? He just saw him. It wasn't during the football season, but in the off season, he saw him like in the middle of the night. And you wouldn't know it's him because those guys, a lot of them,

they dress similar when they don't want to be noticed, right? Yeah. So. Yeah, he wasn't wearing his CD-Lam jersey. Right. Although, would that be the best way to not be noticed? Because somebody would look at him and be like, there's no way CD-Lam would be wearing a CD-Lam jersey.

Maybe where's a Brandon Aubrey and see how far that gets him. That's how Post Malone likes to blend in. That's right. Noted blend inner. Speaking of Brandon Aubrey, we're going to do that show right now, and it's brought to us by Community Mechanical this week and every week. They are the sponsor of the Brandon Aubrey show. I thought you were going to follow up with a little community info right there.

All right, CommunityDFW.com. handed it to you. Okay, communityddfw.com brings you the Brandon Aubrey Show. You could do like Brandon did, have him come out, take a look at your home. He had a problem. And another company had told him it would be thousands upon thousands of dollars. They were asking for 10% of his new contract. He called Community.

They came out and fixed it for about $100. And now has the preventative maintenance. That's what we'd like you to do as well. Have him come out, check your system. If you need work, you'll get a discount with Community. and you will also get a new, or excuse me, with a new HVAC system, a sit-in, come watch us do the show.

Hey, guys. Love the mustache, Jake. Listen, my mom asked me about it last night, and I said, if an NFL player tells me you should try a mustache, we're trying a mustache. So the wife doesn't love it, but if this adds to the Cowboys aura and gets us to the playoffs, then we're rolling with it. Did you tell them last week he needed one? I don't remember that.

A few weeks, a couple weeks ago, maybe. Okay. I think when you guys asked me about Blake's, I said, I think you guys should both try one. So now it's how you did. I listened. Dan, the ball is in my court. Who feels so safe in the front zone with NFL player, he doesn't even have to. Okay, well, tune in next week.

The problem with Dan is every time Dan tries one, we're like, that's a little too close, a little too tight there, bud. I do not shave a Hitler in public. Speaking of Kool-Aid, man. But everybody who shaves a Hitler, or everybody who shaves down their beard or whatever, will in private have a Hitler for just, a moment.

Don't let your wife know. Yeah. Unless they have a little baby face like Brandon. Yes. Don't you have kind of a baby face, right? You can't really... I can't picture you with a big giant bushy beard. We can try.

If you ever meet my brother, that's what I would look like with what. He's got a giant beard he's been having for probably two, three years now. Oh. I think it's possible. It's in the jeans somewhere. I just don't ever really give it a chance. It looks terrible after a week. I can't get past that.

And plus, just like Jake, my wife hates it. Yeah, it's not a fan. Your brother Landon? I'm just guessing his name. Ryan. Okay. Yeah. Landon.

He's not stoked on Andons. Like all soccer families are just like, they have the anyways. Do you just have one, what are your sibling, Sitch? Yeah, just one older brother. He's three years older. He's a lawyer in the Dallas area. They used to beat up on you and stuff? like Jake did, his little brother?

He was nice to me. He wouldn't beat me up unless I picked on him first or he was annoying him too much. So he was really good to me growing up. I have to start with this. You probably knew you could onside kick a punt. But that's hands down the craziest special teams play I've seen of at least this year.

And I mean, I've never seen anybody try it. Is that new with the changes in like the declaration rule? That's always been the case. No, yeah, that's always been the case. You're, especially in that situation, in a safety, it used to be more of a thing because people would punt after safeties instead of hitting, because hang time mattered. You had the whole team next to you running down. You get more hang time on a punt than you can on a kickoff. Now you have to hit the landing zone, and that's about it.

And everyone's starting up there. So there's no, you can be more accurate with the kick. So we hit the kick from after safety. But, yeah, that's the thing you can do. they have to declare it and you know it was a good good punt hit the ground

which is what you're trying to get it get accomplished so he didn't get it could have bounced anywhere or bounced right to us sometimes you're lucky like that yeah I just we've been talking about this a little bit on the show like the college thing that you can get the one bounce and then the fair

catch and I know that there's a lot going on during the week do you think everyone on your hands team knew they could fair catch that ball because on the TV copy you can hear people somebody on the field is yelling Fair catch it, fair catch it

But yeah Then three's just kind of standing there I was very worried in the moment That was a great punt or kick I don't know what you'd call it Yeah Pun after safety Onside pun after safety is what we call it

But yeah Terp is the one screaming He's back there in the position where You'd hope he'd be the one catching it Turp and JT are the deepest back and then it can put it, it can land to 10 to 30 yards. Actually, if it lands short of 30 yards and then rolls past the 30 yards, it's just automatically our ball has to stay in that 10 to 30 yard zone, just like the normal onside.

So Terp's back there, and he has to be at that 30 yards. So he punted at about 15 yards, and that's where you put, you're expected to go there as well. That's what we would try to do in that situation. So you put two really good players with great hands. for us it's pickings and um cd go out and make a catch in the game effectively um yeah turp screaming uh fair catch think of all the guys we're screaming fair catch uh not sure uh ball got on the ground and we got lucky to get out of there um looked like the other um look like the raiders

might have thought we called fair catch because they kind of just stopped as well but they can turn and catch that thing if they somebody's got to get their eyes on it and see the track the flight of it. I'm sure they have someone on their onside kick team. That's their job is to get eyes on it and try and catch it. But yeah, so a big miss by both the guys there.

So we got luck. Screaming fair catch is a move right there because you know, I mean, the coverage team is at least stopping, like, wait. Right. There's a lot going on there. But you said the Raiders are allowed to catch that too, right? Yeah.

Right. You call fair catch, but you don't make an actual attempt to catch the ball um you can go catch that thing doesn't have to hit the ground uh let's see well let's keep talking Vegas I guess um what did you do there does the special teams guys go out together yeah we got a Joe Trent was there for five years um I think five years might be off by a year there but um we went to one of his he knew a chef at a steakhouse so we went to to that steakhouse and just had a nice special team's dinner and then back to the hotel. Our hotel had an ice cream shop in it that Trent says is the best custard in the world. Can't confirm.

Yeah, so we got that custard. Nielsen is what was called. Then just went to bed. Okay. So you got to play the first series. I actually did not get to play the first series. It was three and a half pun. Oh, that's right.

What was that, what was communicated to the team about that situation that the two wide receivers we were just talking about, C.D. and George Pickens did not play the first series. I didn't know about it until after the game. I'm not paying attention, especially when we're not in field goal range. Especially on the first drive. I'm sitting down. I'm on my knee next to the kicking net, walking through. I'm building up my confidence, just doing breathing exercises. So I didn't notice.

I just thought, you know, three now. But, yeah, just said there was a disciplinary issue after the game, putting the team in a bad situation off the field. So they took care of it the way they did. They handled the way they did. I'm still not sure what exactly happened. And I'm sure I probably never will. Okay.

Well, that ends my next question then, because I don't know what happened either. Well, do you find, so you basically find out from the media? Yeah, I'm sitting on the bus after the game, and Bangor pulled up Instagram and showed me, hey, do you know this happen? I'm like, yeah, back to the time. That's wild. It's more fun to deal with that after a big win.

But speaking of, in addition to onside kicks, the other thing we've been talking about is celebrations. Do we have any explanation on pickings? No. obviously it happened to the game on Sunday night. James and Williams. Yeah. You assume he would have seen it. Given him the benefit of doubt, maybe he didn't.

I don't know. Can't put ourselves in a hole like that. Those extra points are not easy. That's not something I want to make a living doing. It's going to cost those points. It's already cost us points this year, so hopefully you can talk to him and not do it again. Yeah, well, your quarterback, obviously, in jest, was asked about it, and he's like, yeah,

but we got a pretty good kicker, so. Yeah. Yeah, it's your fault. Yeah. If you weren't there, they wouldn't have done that celebration? I guess. So I really should find you. I can have fun on my account.

It also makes me wonder, though, with the group celebration, a lot of times you see defense do this after a big sack fumble or a turnover for sure, defensive touchdown. and they run and there's a pose what scenario would have to unfold for Brandon Aubrey to be involved in one of those type of celebrations oh boy it's

I don't know maybe if we've been an onside kick recovery that'd probably be it but you have to go all the way down the field though because they do it in like the back line yeah the issue is the onside kick recovery we're probably losing that game pretty bad

right doesn't feel right take off for the You know, if I ever score a touchdown, that would be a time to think about it, but then I've got to turn around and kick that extra points. I don't know. Maybe after that extra point, get a full seven points for the team, then lose my mind, just not enough to push me back 15 yards on kickoff. Or you can hit the gritty in the locker room like Cairo Santos did.

Oh, no, that's not me. Did you see that? I don't know that. That's swag. That's not me. I feel like if you break the record, maybe. You break the record and you guys are up. I need at least the three of you to run and do a pose in the end zone together.

You know he's not going to do that. What's our pose? That's a long run. The record now, that's like a 70-yard run. Yeah, run the other way. Yeah, that's awesome, man. Emotional pre-game, that's just had to be a once, you know, you've probably never been through something like that before i would imagine yeah i've never been

anything through anything like that and the one time i allow myself to kind of have emotions is during the national anthem and so i always look around and take in the crowd and remind myself how cool it is the job i'm doing before locking back in so that was definitely a somber moment a different field, but at the same time, I think it did inspire some guys to play a little bit harder and, you know, keep moving forward as best as we can. Oh, I'm sorry, this is a weird way to go out of order, but you were just talking about, you know, what if Brandon Aubrey scores? And I was thinking, did Bones have a play where you touched the ball?

you can tell us now because he's gone yeah um no he he's under the philosophy if i'm sending my kicker out there he's kicking the ball if we're going to go for it on fourth down leave the guys out there who do that for a living i'll just go out there and score points don't want to take points off the board um and get your kicker injured at the same time all right that's uh disappointing to me well just because bones you know you just think of him is this crazy easy guy who's got a I got a double reverse where he might be like low-key shading Brandon's arm because he's let banger throw it a lot did he yeah the difference there you're going from giving the ball away to sure it doesn't work keeping the ball away so

versus here we're scoring points versus giving the ball away there was an article in the athletic this week about the kicking revolution have you seen that I have not. Okay, well, you're featured in there, as you would have guessed. In there, they talk about the fact that in 105 years, there's been 46 field goals in the history of the NFL, 60 yards or longer. And you have, how many of those do you have? Five.

Oh, you have five? Yeah. Five of the 46. Yeah, half of them have come since 2020. And let's see, I just wanted to quiz you about some of this stuff. All right. White Horse. They said that DAC mandated that the stadium plays that for you.

Yes. Okay, why? It's just the song I use in pregame to get myself locked in. while I'm walking the field and kind of measuring my steps and finding my aim points. It's the song I like to play. It gets me ready for game day. I only listen to it on game day as I'm walking out to the field. And then I played a couple times.

And it just still gives me goosebumps. So, you know, I got asked if I had a walk-up song. And I said no, but they asked what it would be if it was. And I said that. Jack picked up that and ran with it to the, stadium producer who controls every sound and visual you get it at the field outside of the football game so i think they came to an agreement to play that when i'm running on the field that's a leader right there dude who initially asked you though because he would never go ask yeah um i don't know

it was in a big um one of those scrums media scrums okay the ones that blake makes fun of all the questions they ask you just some of them have you ever seen chris stapleton live I've seen him twice. Cool. He's awesome. He sounds exactly like his recordings. What did that win in Vegas mean to you? Dad, Blake.

He's making fun of the reporter scrum questions. He's just mad he didn't think of it. And DAC is, I think, that's awesome, first of all, because I don't know how many quarterbacks are doing that. But the further you get away from Brandon entering the league, when you read articles about him, I feel like Dack is basically credited with finding him. Like they write-

Nickname. Yeah, it's like, and I know it's Egan, and there was a lot going on there, but they write it. And I mean, hey, I'm fine with it. It's my quarterback. Yeah, I'll take that. All three phases. Yeah, the article is just about, let's see,

you, Cam Little, of course, because he just broke that record. They talk to Matt Prater a lot in this. Do you know who Matt Prater is? Of course, yeah. He's the first guy I traded jerseys with. He's got a record for most, 50-plus yard field goals in the league. Oh, okay.

Yeah, he's back in the league. Like, he was gone. That I didn't know. Yeah. Where is he now? Oh, Bill's? Buffalo. Yeah.

Cameron Dicker. Cameron Dicker, Daniel Carlson, and then they talk about what the players wear for their shoes. And you wear like a football clean. and a soccer cleat? Yes, yep. Football cleat on the plant foot and a soccer cleat on the kicking foot.

Was there some kind of trial and air there? Like did you have it the other way around ever? No, there is trial and air, but it was just two soccer cleats before. I didn't like the traction I was getting out of my plant foot with the soccer cleat. I would slide about an inch to three inches when planting, and that inconsistency shows up

with where you're hitting the ball. Hit a little bit high, on the ball when you're a little bit shallower and a little bit further down on the ball when I'm too deep. And that you kind of, you will like shave the studs of the shoe down so you can kick it lower to the ground? What is that? Yeah, so I shave, and this one I don't do as much as most other kickers, but I just take the front two cleats on my kicking foot, take them right up to the submit and rub them against the ground,

trying to get some of that cleat gone, so it doesn't drag. turf as much. Not such a big issue on grass where it rips through the grass, but on the turf, it kind of snags the turf, and I'll lose a little bit of pace on my swing. So do shave those down, just a touch, not as much as most guys. Do you remember Dan ever on any of our Stars trips, or you, Blake, like, when I realized that those guys are working their own sticks, like before the game and an intermission, and they look like engineers. Yeah. Like, I remember Jason Spetsa, it was just like he had exactly what he wanted it to look like, was taken for, you You don't think about that, for sure, not in football, but that's fascinating.

How many pairs of shoes do you wear throughout the year? For the plant foot, I try to have three ready to go. Usually one will break throughout the year, so then I'll have my second cleat and then the backup fleet, and I'll wear one in practice until it's ready to go, and then that comes to the game plate, and my game plate will serve me as long as it's not very. broken and then I'll have a new practice cleat. Once that one's game ready, I'll switch to the third one and get that one ready for games and then kind of alternate back and forth between the alternates of the practice. For kicking cleats, I currently have two. Nike doesn't

make the cleat I like anymore. They went a version and they have a newer version, which I'm not really used to yet, so they'll have to save me for, I'll save that for offseason project it used to that thing but I still have two I had three sent one off to the Hall of Fame after the fifth 60 plus yard field goal so a little

uncomfortable there with just two there's a few things more frustrating to me so I can't imagine being a pro athlete when there's like a piece of athletic wear you really like and you've been buying it year after year or addition after edition and then they just stop making it

like I've purchased shorts on e-book Bay. I'm like, well, they still have them 10 years ago. Or they tweak them and then they're, you hate them then. Yeah. So I'm sure you drown out a lot of the pregame and halftime stuff, but did you notice the Nelly halftime show while you're warming up at half? Yeah, that really bothered banger with all the lighting changes, strove effects.

You just wanted to catch some balls and pun them. Well, I was enjoying country grammar. Yeah, it was good. It was a good halftime performance. The acoustics in there aren't great. So there was a couple of songs, you couldn't even really hear what was going on. But I don't, a lot of times I won't warm up during halftime, especially when we're kicking off to start the half.

So I didn't do anything. I was just sitting there on my knee watching Bangor go and listen to the halftime performance. He had to be in your era, right? Yeah, I love that. Okay. Sweat and suit albums. I had those pushed up on my. Yes.

Okay. Those are awesome albums. I love those things. A little Friday night dance action, a little Friday night live. This is the last thing I have. I have indoor soccer practice for the girl tonight. I'm a coach. I coached the regular soccer over the fall, whatever.

Why is indoor, why do you think it never became, like, popular? I don't understand how this developed because it seems so much more exciting. it's just not the same thing it's a completely different sport with the walls like did you ever play it just for I played it yeah it's it's kind of a thing here in Texas just because the weather's so unpredictable like you said even in outdoor season

with my select team we would go indoor when we'd have days like today where it's just dumping down rain but yeah with the addition of the walls it's just it's so much harder to defend You have less players on the field, and then just having to have turf. He's not going to draw a good professional team in there just because turf affects the ball so differently than grass. You can't wet it, so you can't know that slick.

It's just significantly more difficult to play soccer on turf than it is on grass. Next week is Thanksgiving, so you guys have the famous, what is this, three games in? 12 days? 10 days? So what's that like? It's good. We're in the middle of it right now for me as a kicker. It just means I kind of get to go without practicing for a week when you go from Sunday to Thursday.

We just, I won't hit any balls between game days. So then I get three days off at the end of it, which is nice. It means a lighter load for a week for me, as long as I stay sharp. in that time because three days off in a row is tough, but I want two days on either end of the game to rest. So I want to, if I were to kick the day after a game, I'm not getting much out of it. My leg's pretty dead. And I want two days of rest before game. So the way it works out, I'm not kicking that week other than game day. And then three days off means that's, hey, one day of kicking for the week instead of three. I should be more well-rested in a weird way

for the second Thursday game. All right, well, cool, man. Well, good luck this weekend. Who do we got? Who are we playing? This weekend, we got the Eagles. Just wanted to quiz you, see if you knew that. Yeah, I had to think about that for a while. Because I was just thinking, I said three days off.

That is after the second Thursday. So we only have one day off after this Thursday. So it is a little weird, but. Wait, what is it? KC on Thanksgiving and then at Detroit on Thursday. Thursday night. Oh, on another Thursday? Yeah. Okay. A bunch of easy games.

Write all that down, what they were just saying. Well, a bunch of easy games, man. So, yeah, are those teams good? I don't even know. They're all indoors. We worry about ourselves. They are all indoors. So you'll like that. All right, well, thanks, man. Thanks for your time out there at the Star. What's on for today, then, if you're not kicking? We have practice today

I am kicking today Oh Yeah And then two days off But hopefully if we're trying to go outside Don't know if it's going to happen Until then work on your road to the master's game I hope you're still leading

Oh yeah I am leading I got a three and a half point lead now And I've got I'm up six strokes on the round today Excellent We should have this one in the bag They don't include any of this

Listen, the NFL kicking revolution article in the athletic. What's inside these guys' minds? What do they do to get ready? He's like, we're playing. I don't know, trying to get home in two on a par five. He knew that way quicker than he knew who they were playing. Yeah, of course. He was doing that this morning.

He was doing it this morning. Jesus. That's awesome. You'll know on soon. We'll go get up and down. Yeah. See you, man. Oh, thank you.

See you. Thanks for your time. Thanks to Brandon. Thanks to community mechanical. That's the great Brandon Aubrey. he is great yeah i'm upset that uh i thought bones would have had some kind of pitch for him some kind of thing or like a philly special type thing yeah because he's in the oh there he is he's by himself brandon abry i don't know his arm oh he fell down but he's in the he's got to be like

in the top 10% of kicker athleticism he's the fastest in madden really yeah yeah but i don't know if he ever threw you know played soccer i guess you got to throw the ball in well i mean i think i Can he pass like that? He played football until high school. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a receiver, right? Yeah, I'm playing football in high school also doesn't mean you can throw, though. I certainly.

I thought you were going to strike out Blake. I'm progressing. Whatever happened to that? I go almost every week. I'm going today after the show. It's a lot of fun. Are you really? I swear to God, dude, I go three times a month minimum.

I love it. It's my old man messing with trains or fix and stuff or whatever, dude, whatever you're tinkering with in your garage. I try to figure out how to make this work, and I'm very proud of my progress, if I'm being honest. So, there it is. Well, that reminds me of one-day doors and closets. Yeah.

As we're out here at Conne Roso. The holidays remind me of one-day doors and closets because you're going to have people- holidays are approaching. You're going to be people coming over to your house in and out of those doors. Why don't you stunt on that family? Your annoying uncle or cousin or something. The doors can help with the in-out in ways that you can't even comprehend because these are solid wood doors and it can keep the noise out or the noise in.

So you know what I mean about the old in-out? Hell yeah. Yeah, man. One-day Texas.com slash promo 30. That's a deal where you can pay for one door and get. Get two doors with Josiah and one day doors in closets. They'll save you 30 to 50% compared to big box stores. They come out.

They measure with their, it's all computer technology. Yeah, you'll be like, whoa. And then they cut the doors, and that's it. They install them right there. It's all done on site. One day, Texas.com slash promo 30. Have them come out, take a look. Flip those doors, man.

What do you guys want to get into here? NFL? We got no NFL because we have these sorroys to join us later. Oh, good call, yeah. But we can't call this sports. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. I know you don't want to do it, but I'm doing it.

Do you guys think Dak was trying to be corny or was corny when he said this? Blake don't answer yet. Or was he doing? This is just a normal thing to say. You know, through the by week, those first, as I mentioned here on the early in the week, those first few days, right, not being with the guys, was harder than anything. But the last six, seven, you know, being together, working together. Am I just high alert here?

I don't know. I think you're high alert because I've been noticing it. It's the red girlfriend's red car? Yeah. I notice guys who are balding, you know, once you start balding. Like, it's, you. I mean, I see. I feel like I heard it.

it 10 times in the last two days. I feel, I see infinitely more little discarded bottles of booze all around. Do you really? We might have a problem. Wow. I had a problem. I have a problem. But I didn't never used to notice it now because I'm like looking at him in front of my yard.

I see one and I'm like, hey, this is not me. Somebody else hit their ball over here. But you're probably right. But Dak is the type of guy I just think would do it. Yeah. He would probably do it as that's his bet payoff to dude perfect. I was just about to say that There will be YouTube video in four days

We made Dax say 6-7 Look at all the times he said it for us And then look at him wink Do you guys see Go ahead No, go ahead I was going to say she got robbed It's going to take a while

Oh yeah That happens since we were I was I had that story first Courtesy of Inside sources Mom Grandmom McDowell Yeah

Yes my mom Called me immediately when this was on the news. Wow. And, yes, that Shador's house was broken into. What did he have? Like, $200,000 were the stuff stolen? Yeah.

And, you know, they've got it on video, ski masks. That's what I wonder about my video. I got video cameras at my house, too. Do we just get to see people in like, oh, okay, well, there they are stealing everything. Yeah, I don't know. That's all we can do is look at them and nod.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I would think that seeing the cameras deters a lot of people. Or makes them go buy that ski mask. Yeah, that's true, too. But, you know, like gun laws in Texas, regardless of what you think about them, they definitely make break-ins less likely. Like hot break-ins don't occur. Yeah, and less likely that you're just maybe going to go visit your girlfriend drunkenly?

I don't know. Yeah. But I remember when this happened to Colorado. Like at the Rose Bowl or something. This is why. You just got to stop keeping a quarter million dollars of jewelry in one place when the whole world knows where you work. I feel like they happen to Jackson State, too.

Yeah, I think you're right. I feel like these guys that do make this kind of money, because this happened to Luca, this happened to Joe Burrow. Oh, that's right. Sagan, maybe. But if you had your kids... Maybe his house just burned down. Yeah, that was the storm.

Yeah, there you go. If you had your kid at home, what would you do, and then you were going to go to the game? You'd probably leave somebody there to watch it. There you go. Yeah. Can you just, like, what do you pay a babysitter? $100? I don't know what the going rate is anymore, but let's say it's $100.

Let's just say it's $200 for sake of a guy who's in the NFL. Do you think Joe Burrow could just pay someone? Hey, $200 to house sit while I'm gone. He did. What? That lady, but she might not have been there, or was she? I think she was supposed to be. Oh, that's the thing.

Because there was controversy when his house got broken into, Olivia Pontoen or something, was supposed to be there, and she wasn't. Blake knows Joe Burroughs' assistant's name. That is very weird. Because she's big on Instagram. Oh, is she hot? No, dude, he hired. He joined Fallen Roots.

Yeah, he went to downtown Cincinnati. He got the Bakerhead Girl. He went into Skyline. No. Yeah, the, I would think this is where being friends with the two of you is very helpful because the problem for a guy like that is he's got a bunch of his boys that he probably funds, but all of them want to be in the action. Yeah, they're on the sidelines. They want to be in the shit. They're like, why can't I go to the game?

If I want a ton of money, you guys would be the perfect friends because you don't want to go anywhere. So anytime I was going somewhere, I'm just, you guys are like, we've definitely got that covered. we just want to be here. Yeah. I'd like to play one bad question from postgame. Ryan Flanoi caught a touchdown? He did? Yeah.

He did. He held that. Everybody caught a touchdown. Marshawn Neeland's jersey in the post game. I believe those two were really close. And so when he scored touchdown... I think they maybe came in together. It was what...

Okay. Okay. And so we got a lot of like, you know, were you playing for Neeland, you know, that kind of stuff. I thought this question was just extra bad, and it's from Dan's best friend. He put my head down, Dave. It's trying to tribute my boy, man.

This is Flanoi. He spent double dates with him and his girlfriend and your wife, reminisce on that. Yes. So I don't know. You two used to double date, you and your girlfriends get together, reminisce on that. Tell me, where did you go?

What kind of ice cream did you have? What was he wearing? Reminis on that. Did you guys swap at the end of the night? how crazy did it who's Dan's best friend new he's newie oh all right

I didn't hear this is it post game of NFL hey hey what movies can you can you recount

some of your best memories about your friend who recently died from suicide like whoa dude I don't know can you ask me

about my touchdown I'd understand it's part of the media's job but I also I think it's weird and difficult when somebody asks you to feel something

hey reminisce on this for a minute Yeah, I don't even know what I would say If you just I would have liked to see his TV package too On this like Is he asking questions that he knows I'm going to do a variety of stuff

That's why you're there right I want five guys with their memories About Marshawn Neeland So I'm going to ask him all that And he's saying it The way he feels is conversational enough Reminis on it How did he?

I don't know the whole Marshawn Neeland thing Is odd just because to use it to say, okay, your boss, and this is shoddy, your boss is saying the best way to honor him. Oh, what's the best way to honor him? When? With your play and playing really hard

and doing really good at this game so that I'm... What's he supposed to say? I know, but it's a weird thing. The best way to honor him is to work hard. That's not weird. at all. It's weird if you tie it to winning. It's the best way to honor him

to, you know, reach out to those that are in need, that you know, to help. If that's your thing, and I'm not trying to be like, defend the Cowboys or be pedantickear, but I definitely know that there are a lot of people, myself included, that one of the best

things you can do when shit gets really choppy is just bury yourself and work. Just focus in and don't think about it. And if that's your therapy, and they, Happened to work in a job where that's a convenient thing for the boss to already be constantly telling you. It's like, work and work harder. We can dig in, boys.

So I get it. What sucks is that, as you always point out, that if they didn't get their teeth kicked in, we're not allowed to be like, I feel like you guys just shit on his legacy. Well, it's tough. It was good they had Vegas. You could also try really hard and play poorly. So there's always an out, you know? Right.

And now they have Philly, Kansas City, and Detroit. coming up yeah that's a weird it's a weird industry it's a weird job and when stuff like this happens it's like a glitch in the matrix you know like whoa fun fun time's over huh um and then i have one more quick one if you've got something with some meat well i have a uh a quick hitty on do you want to hear this opening of shoddy's press conference yesterday yeah because no one asked about the wasps yeah if sod yusuf is going out there maybe sod would ask them about the wasps. But that was last week's story, at least on the gram.

But here, we're having some fun. We're back to kind of having fun. Maybe that was the plan. This is the start. Before we get started, I do need some help. I need some, so my wife's birthday was Monday. My daughter's birthday is the day, so I, of course, don't have any gifts. So if anybody has any good gift, not you, Clarence.

If anybody was style, Patrick, Nick is Nick in here. He's got some style. You know what I mean? If anybody's got good ideas, okay? I'm a big spender. Just sending my way through my representative here. Tad Carver.

Because birthday's coming at the worst time. I mean, they really do. Where? Nicole. All right, Nicole. Yeah. All right. Let's go.

That's good. Honey, something's coming, but we just got to figure out what it's going to be. We don't know yet. Why don't you focus on the Eagles? That's wise birthday's here, dude. How did you hear this? And his daughters today, Last is Monday.

Geez. He needs some ideas. It's tough. Well, you were just in Vegas. He's just a friendly guy. Keychain or something. He just doesn't know how to not talk like a robot that's stuck on douchebag. He's trying, though.

He's trying to be nice. What if Shottie's way is the way? What if now there's going to be copycat Shadi coaches, you know? Well, here's the thing. We haven't really talked about this this much. because it's not funny. And I know they ran into, they sputtered over a month period,

but, dude, we're 10 in now. When you get to the end of the season, you're not going to be able to say he's a bad play caller. Like all this other stuff is funny, and he's a dork, and I feel like he's always kind of acting, but in some sort of weird, genuine way. But, like, they're, for the most part,

they have red zone troubles. They have more three-in-outs than I'd like. but they're not, you know, he's not overwhelmed the calling plays. He's not Ben Johnson, which looks like a home run. Well, it also has to help. You're just kind of stepping into a system that has been going on for a few years. It's not like he changed a lot of stuff. I feel like they've changed more than we give them credit for.

This year? The problem is I also want to give that credit to Clayton Adams because their run game looks totally different. and really the bigger thing might just be not just as I think Blake would always point out must be nice to have two number ones it's not just that they have two really good receivers pickins is like unlike anything DAC has ever had so maybe that was in the offense and they just didn't really go to it but I've been very pleased with him as just a football coach which we didn't even know if he could really do that nobody was asking him to And the best thing is that DAC has stayed healthy, and they've got these two wide receivers. But everything else, that's a lot to navigate in your first season as a head coach. Yeah.

The offensive line's been banked up. Let's say just the mica trade. Yeah. Yeah. You know, let's just, let's, okay, take that out. Let's just add, just make Trayvon's situation. Pretty weird. This guy who is seemingly a malcontent.

doesn't listen to anybody on paper like your third or fourth best player right premier position makes a lot of money yeah now let's take all that out and let's say the death of a player we drop that into your midseason dude again

not to sound trite as Jerry would say but the NFC East hard knocks is going to be insane it should just be the cowboys shot he should I guess we do have to give him credit for just like even being where they are now yeah I think so All right, what's your quick hit, and then I do have something longer?

So we've been talking about the Stars hockey situation with the youth rinks and the pay to stay and all like just the corporatization of youth sports. And I'm not in this world yet, but we have a lot of listeners who are who have told us this is not uncommon. If you're like doing elite cheerleading, you've got to stay at the hotel that the place says you have to stay. and the state of Texas has sued or is investigating the stars, I can't recall, for antitrust violations. And, you know, not to just make this my rant against the corporations are all corporation-y. That's one of my favorite South Parks, Blake.

So what are they doing? Well, they're just being all corporation-y, but there's an article out there the other day about this private equity group that, owns 40 rinks on the East Coast and in the Midwest. It's called Black Bear Sports Group. It's a spinoff of something from Black Street, which was like a spinoff from Black Rock. Black Stone.

Black Stone. Black Cap. And they run these leagues, these elite, these fucking Rich Kid leagues. And they're getting pushed back now because they will not allow parents to take pictures or video in the stands, they will confiscate your phone. You have to subscribe to the service that they use for pictures and video,

which is $30 a month. You have to pay a $50 sign-up fee. And a few days ago, some senator, and it's so funny, we were talking about this last night. T.C. and I were, and he's like, it's just going to take some politician, his kid getting, you know,

him being totally can't, it's happened, some congressman, which is why this article is here. They make you, you can't take photos of your kid. If you can buy them, you have access to their library, like it's Getty Images or something, or you can stream the games online. But if you're in one of their arenas, phones go up. Insane.

Dude, it's like, I mean, I hate to do the what stage of capitalism is this, but it really is. And it's easy to do it from the, like, bleeding heart side, because it's a very, stink of the children like how youth sports yeah that's in theory like one of the things

that this whole thing's built on but yeah it's it's insane dude and they're expanding they're also being sued but uh yeah is the stars thing like this

no they're just being mentioned as this is like a trend in the uh it is particularly a trend because in hockey uh because the money is so big It costs so much to air-conditioned those rinks. Energy prices are at an all-time high. And so these rinks are now being purchased by private equity,

like these rinks that are having a tough time getting by, your little mom-and-pop community rink that Hans from Mighty Ducks runs. Well, it's now been bought by a private equity company that says, you know, that they're going to put money and do it to fix it up, and it's going to be great for the community. But what they do is they put money to fix it up. they saddle it with debt they make it impossible for anyone to use they price everybody out and then they sell it so that is the the pictures part of it the audio video recording is not

in the stars thing but it is in 40 other youth ranks minimum across the country because they can so there's a there's your report on how it's going you can't take pictures of your eight-year-old learning to ice skate I can transition, because, like, did we learn about the Stars thing, and do we think, like, the Mavs had something to do with that? Well, no, we thought. Wait, the Mavs. Yes, yeah.

Yeah, like the Mavs might have alerted. Yeah, because they were fighting. Yeah. There was a USA Today article before, but I definitely think that was, I believe that. Anyway, that will transition us into Mavs talk after we tell you about a great deal from flooring direct DFW Which deal you want to do?

Excuse me? Which deal do you want to do? Well, they're offering right now up to 40% off on select installed flooring and here's the deal. I'm going to shoot you straight. Often I'm lying,

I'm bold face lying to you. Bald? You know, I've never really... This time I'm telling you the truth. Got a buddy who was getting new floors. about the time flooring direct started advertising with us because I was talking to Dan about this

and they said they had to pay a company to come in and take out their furniture and they were really upset because the flooring company that they used they took a little longer and then they added price onto it as well like oh we didn't think of and then you had to pay the company so then they had to pay more to the storage to keep the furniture flooring direct moves your furniture they treat it like they treat it like their own they put it back when

This is what happens when you fall back. It gets dark earlier. See you, bud. But here at Conneroso in Arlington, we're paying for half your lunch. We are. Half off, right? Yeah. That's right.

There's Sean Kernan. Where? Oh, my gosh. Sean Kernan. There's Big Jay. Qualis is over there. I wonder if Jade make us pay for half his lunch? Because we offered, he's a listener.

Jay Jrier? Yeah. He's here? Yeah. Okay, oh, okay. Only the Who's Who? Yeah, he's, God, he just ordered like a third meal. The place to see.

He's trying to take advantage of us. See and be seen. He's like, I'll make my money back on this remote. Hey, there's Mike McCarthy on Pat McAfee. Yeah. What a weird existence McCarthy has. Like, is he back next year? No.

I feel like the only, um, let's take a look. Like, he's almost becoming what Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are to me to quarterbacks, where it's like, you could take a shot at a good one or you could just take one that you think is probably going to be pretty good and hope it works out. He's pretty hot in the betting odds

for the Giants, right? That one always gets rumored. Like, does he want that one or does he want like a real good quarterback situation? Or do you consider Jackson Dart? They like Dart. I like Dart, and that's really what matters.

He's got promise and you've got Malik neighbors. And, you know, scataboo when he's not busting heads at the WWE when will he not be doing that well he was out he's out

he's injured for the season oh I love it dude no no shots no shade who's going to be open this year think the Browns will be open well let's start with this would he ever be a coordinator no okay he shouldn't absolutely not I agree he's had way enough success

like I told you the oddity for Jason Garrett it was the fact that he would even become a coordinator after. Yes. When you're a head coach for 10 years in a row, you're now a head coach. You don't take a coordinator job. Him taking a coordinator job proved to me that he even knew. I'm not a head coach. Yeah.

I'm just not that guy. I don't think I've said it. Like, even Jeff Fisher. Too much aura, you know. Just pride. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I've used it in three or four episodes. So that was the all-time coach cucking for sure.

In division, you go coordinate, brutal. Did someone criticize you for saying the word cuck? Yes. Too much. Yeah, yeah, I think I... He's got a counter in his head now. You have everything in your... Why don't you just try to improve?

Everybody's in your kitchen. I would, but I don't know that there's a level higher. That's a good point. I don't know that there is anywhere... So, yeah. You really want to get into this Nico thing? That's your... Dude, I...

Yes, the Tim McMahon article dropped yesterday. A, what's it titled? Free Macbooks. One time he got hacked and his account was tweeting that you could get a free PS5 and Dan believed it. I just wanted a Mac for only $1,000. That sounded great. Yeah, well, that's generous to you

because I believe it was like $199. So he really details... You know, from the time Cuban sold the team to today, the behind-the-scenes goings-on with Nico Harrison and how he somehow wielded enough power to actually even make this move. Like, how did this even happen? The world at the time was incredulous, and, like, nobody thought this might be kind of a good move.

even if you wanted to argue that I think this the Mazz will still be a good team you would say but you know there's so many reasons why you didn't like it still the return in the trade was nowhere near what you should get for a guy of that caliber I mean Anthony Davis was hurt at the time and Anthony Davis has hurt all the time

I know but it wasn't even like a moment of oh wow he's really been cooking for two months yeah yeah I want to read some of the story at least that I copied and pasted here that Nico prioritized developing a relationship with Dumont after the sale went through connecting with his boss by speaking a corporate language of sorts because that's where Nico came from you know the corporate world emphasizing the importance of establishing a clear chain of command,

which meant that he would report directly to Dumonts instead of through Mark Cuban, which he had done previously. One team source said, Nico said, dude, I don't want to deal with Mark anymore. He's too much. And if you've dealt with Mark Cuban, you can kind of see that. He's a lot. He's a high-tee individual.

Also, the criticism of him is it's too, like, scattered. Like, he's not, Jerry does this, I think, too, but he's not involved in the whole process. He's involved in the part he wants to be. So then people are working on something, and you're like, jump out. Yeah. Right, yeah, they might be working on it, and he's, all of a sudden, the 11th hour he comes in, and I don't like this. You should change this.

And that, folks, is how you get Mavrello ball with it. Yeah. So, let's see, Harrison, this is according to Tim McMahon, once had told Mark Cuban that his nickname at Nike was the silent assassin because of his ability to quietly maneuver to get his way in business matters. You have to be a real dork to actually say that to somebody, like shoddy, maybe. Another team source said immediately after the sale, Nico started really, playing Dumont.

He honed in. Then he went to the finals, and Nico could do no wrong. Cuban blamed Harrison, not Dumont, for his basketball exile, according to sources. And that's one of the things

throughout this whole article that bothers me a little bit, is kind of that everybody that is still there kind of is painted with, hey, that none of this was any of their fault. This is all the, like, we can blame it all on this one,

it's very convenient, this one evil guy who doesn't speak so well, he's bad with the media, and he's the guy that people have been booing and chanting fire him, and it's very convenient that it can all lie at this guy's feet. That's what I think. Just like even Cuban now, saying, I don't blame Patrick Dumont.

Of course he can't say, I blame Patrick Dumont. Patrick Dumont is still there, and Cuban wants to have his ear. Yeah, Cuban's trying to play him now. So it's now a little different, yeah. As far as Cuban was concerned, according to sources, Harrison wasn't qualified to be the primary decision maker for the team's basketball operations, despite hiring him in June 2021 to be the team's GM

after the contentious firing of Donnie Nelson. Cuban privately insisted he never intended to give Harrison autonomy. He hired him with the hopes that his relationships with players and agents would help the Mavs reverse their long-running trend of finishing as runners-up in free agency. Now that's something we've talked about quite a bit, just that Cuban was actually the general manager in the end. He just didn't need it to fuel his. his public ego, like Jerry Jones seems to need it, because they both are the exact same in the end. Sure. They both kind of, like you said, will jump into this thing that I, you know, Jerry wants to be involved in the draft.

It's probably going to be the first round. I doubt he's really got much to do with their sixth round pick. Yep, right. By that point, he's working on blockchain comm and Cubans over on Shark Tank. Yeah, but Cuban was the GM, and he hired different people, Dennis Lindsay. is one of them. As a senior advisor, he hired him. You know, Niko had the GM title,

but Donnie Nelson was the GM title for years, but he could never have just made a dirk trade. Of course not. Or anything that significantly added money to the cap or something, no. Yeah, it had to, everything had to go through Cuban. So, yes, Cuban intended to hire him as the, he's the relationship arm of this big GM machine that we all are like we're a we make decisions by committee with me at the top of the committee and I'm I'm the final say yeah

Nico blamed Cuban for what he believed were the Mav's biggest personnel mistakes during his tenure which came in the summer of 2022 which were allowing Going Jalen Brunson to getaway in free agency, one. And it says here, trading for Christian Wood. A player kid didn't want to coach, and he resented having on the roster. That was pretty obvious. I don't know that it was obvious, though.

Until I read this today. I would have thought it was Nico went and got him. I didn't realize Cuban made that trade at all. Well, the reason you realize it now is because Nico's probably talking a little bit, right, to McMahon or through other people. And now he's like got to get his side out there, which is like, look, I didn't want Christian Wood. You see how that worked out? You know, everyone saw that a mile away?

Well, so did I. It was Cuban's fault. Also, I wouldn't have let Brunson walk. That's all this is. That's all of this is. It's just a continuation to me of the same story, and I honestly can't get myself interested in it. Several members of the coaching staff in front office also faulted Cuban for those particular moves. Yeah, it's probably true.

He didn't go with just Nico's word or whoever. And Kyle Kuzma was supposed to be a Mavv, which would have negated the PJ Washington trade. It would have never happened. You only find out about these things after it all falls apart. Right. The Kyle Kuzma thing is interesting, yes, because the reason, one of the main reasons that Dumont considered Nico so great is they were like the fifth seed at around the trade deadline. he made those trades, and that really helped, you know, they really fit nicely around Luca, is the way we should be phrasing this.

Yeah. It isn't like, gosh, I just found these guys. No one else knew how good they were in the NBA, but they fit very well here. In your mind right now, what if they had gotten Kuzma instead? They would have still been pretty good. Well, I mean, we have Luca. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Yeah, I think that, exactly. It was less about who he got, but the Kuzma problem was, like, he actually vetoed the trade. Right. Kuzman, oddly enough, didn't want to leave Washington, right? And then it says here, that's how Harrison positioned himself to persuade Dumont to sign off on the Dantche's trade. A deal considered illogical by rival executives for a variety of reasons from parting with a perennial MVP contender in his prime without any threat of a trade. demand to receiving what widely was perceived to be poor value in return. It's like everything about it is bad.

Everything about it is bad. Then let's add in because sometimes fan favorites are like the guy at the end of the bench who finally gets in the game or the... Right. Like this guy also... Also, the fan favorite. Like also everybody's favorite. Dirk's favorite.

Is he nice to me though? You had Dirk. You had Dirk. Burke talking about how, like, actually, man, this guy's better than I. But is he nice to me? He's better than me, and I'm in charge. I need him to be nice to me. That's what it all comes down to.

So Harrison built his case from a business perspective. He knew who he's talking to. Luca would be eligible to sign a five-year, $345 million supermax contract extension in the summer. Harrison told Dumont, that deal would be an awful investment. pointing to Donchish's conditioning concerns, pour off-court habits, and recurring calf strains, predicting his body would break down. Luca and Harrison had several disagreements regarding the recovery process.

This doesn't even go into that Harrison had fired the Mavs' conditioning coaches. and things like that and brought in his own people. I think now we're gone. Harrison also blamed the Mavs' five-game elimination from the Celtics in the finals as on Luca's defensive struggles. He pitched Dumont on his vision

of building the league's best defense around Anthony Davis. Harrison had been close with him since he was a teen playing in the AAU circuit. He then convinced Dumont But the trade discussions had to be... We just stop. Like, I can't take any more of this, dude. I can't.

We're putting a bow on all of this, right? Because this is kind of the... Unless Nico comes out. Come around again when the Lakers are in the final... This is never going to end. Harrison also convinced Dumont that the trade discussions... This is the crazy part. Had to be contained.

It's literally grooming. It's literally Patrick Dumont molesting or getting molested and groomed by Nika. Minimizing, right, we don't have to tell your mom. Come on, it'll be all right. Don't you like doing this? You're the big basketball man with me now. Your mom would be upset.

You know what a bummer that guy is. What is Cuban the owner? I thought you were the owner. You're the big shot, aren't you? You big man. What is that desk say? Do you have to run and ask Mommy or do you run and ask Mark Cuban? No.

I guarantee you. That's how he played it. But he convinced it it had to be contained. Minimizing the risk of it leaking the media. Why would that matter? Patrick Jimenez. He says, well, that could result in Luca's agent using his leverage to then kill this deal. We don't want to kill this deal, dude.

This is too good to be true. I can't believe I have these stupid effing Lakers ready to do. They're on the, they're right there. They're ready to pull off, though. I mean, he's not going to give us that extra first rounder, They won't let me. So I don't want the Lakers to pull out. What would happen if they did?

So no one else knew. That's why Dumont didn't go to Cuban. Because they were like, well, that could lead to leaks. And I mean, this guy, who's this basketball genius I've come to learn, I mean, he's been around. He knows. He knows that we don't want to leak. I still go back in my mind. Rob Lo is at lunch with Nico Harris.

the guy that looks like Rob Lowe, the Lakers GM. And Nico first floats the idea. And it's, I've been in this situation on a lower level. It is when your wife comes to you and says, I'm thinking about visiting my mom for two weeks. You can't show, you can't, and I'm stirring my car, I'm stirring the Stevie into the coffee at that point. Remember your training.

Remember your training. you're built for this keep that heart rate flat and yeah and the that's interesting I don't know I don't know I mean

who would want him I mean this is a that would be a huge risk for us man I mean he is out of shape I saw did I see what did you check guys had to get beer from him? You're like taking beer out of his hand? Yeah. He's just drinking

beer after games? Was it after the Western Conference Finals in which they went to the final? Yes, it was. Okay, no. How many technicals does he get? That's got to be annoying, right? He's not really gruezy motions. Like, is he ever going to grow up? Jeez. And I don't know that somebody's going to trade for him right now. Isn't he hurts? All the time? Yeah. Isn't he hurt a lot? I guess we could, but I don't even know. we should have done viewer mail

yeah did I depress you yeah dude I think pizza might make you feel better I literally waited all day yesterday just staring at this article and was like okay I guess we'll try it and made it about halfway through it was like

I just can't do this I can't do it the other thing in the article that does annoy me with everything in the article Jason Kidd kind of gets away like with nothing because I don't believe For a second, this could have been made

without Jason Kidd knowing about it. I agree. I at least know that he, you know that he was not creating an environment where this was not possible. He pulls the levers, man. He's... He's little finger. He's still there.

He's got an extension. He's going to be there. Break time? Or you want to do ViroMail before we do the thing? No, I want to go sit in the rain. But guess what? Tomorrow is his birthday. You have a tradition in our household. Got to sing happy birthday. You're ready?

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. All right. You're listening to the Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone today brought to you apart by Frankel and Frankel

Not under our roof. That's very nice of Brian from Qualis. Yeah. He will probably, he's a good business advisor, and he will probably tell you that you just made a bad decision. Perhaps. Or are you playing the long game? That's right.

That's what it's all about. Thereby, maybe it's a good decision. Or, well, anyway, are we ready to do this? Okay. We are going to welcome on our football picking buddies. We pick games every Thursday with Cirque-Dew-Seroy. And let's see. Well, you know what?

We could just do this. Let's see. Oh, here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. It is time for these picks. That's right. Soup to Soroy is a podcast, YouTube show. Yo, what's up, it's shot.

And they join us to pick games every week. Hello. It looks like no cash this week. We have Mike Soroy. Yeah, thank you. Who is watching wrestling. And we have Danny Soroy, who is in his studio. It's kick-ass studio.

How you feeling, Shale? Better today. Better today. We're on a rebound out of rough four days. But I am... What's going on? I'm through all the day quills. Hill.

I think the hip left. His connection is sick. Throat sinuses. Is the connection bad? It's fine. We got the vid?

I'm sorry. The vid? I don't think so. The hiv? No. None of that. But I'm better. Crabbs?

Absolutely. I look plenty of butt. But no, I don't think that's positive. There was a time in my life when you get a sore throat. maybe shortly after a encounter and then you were like does that probably not right right let's try again let's try again with someone else

it is cold and flu season thank you Dan that's right uh is Danny's mic working his mouth isn't yeah my bad my bad okay there we're mooded there we go say all the funny stuff you just said a few minutes

Okay. I'll repeat everything. I have to disappear for a minute to go wipe a butt. That's not mine. So I'll just mute my mic so you don't have to hear that. Okay. Well, we can update everybody on the standings. Because what was it? Last week, I believe, the good guys, which is the dumb zone, were ahead in picks by nine games. And as we wake up this morning, we see that has shrunk to three games. games. That's how quickly this can happen. If you remember last week, the big game was Kansas City. We all had the Chiefs, they all had the Broncos, we not only all had the Chiefs, I had a triple play, so that was the big swing, man. Yes. No, I'm not the type of leader to say, if I could get a little help from my guys, how is it that if I have a couple of bad weeks all of a sudden the whole effing thing is over I'm the type to take it

as a leader so I've got to be better. You guys kind of are what you are. I think you're a terrible leader by saying that. It's on me. I've got to pick us up. I had a couple bad weeks and now it's tied. You're the Luca of the show. You are. I know. It's now more

than ever. But Luca shouldn't be thrown shade at his teammates that I'm not. I'm saying I'm not going to do that. I'm just, I'm only Reggie Bullock. By saying you're not going to do that. I'm doing all I can. You are doing that. And it's sad.

Sounds to me like you're, go ahead. No, so just telling Dan, it sounds to me like you're trying to work out a trade. We'll take him. That feels like the AD of, sir.

Well, now that I've made that trade, you know it's in there. He's probably here. Sort of available. The public won't let it happen. If we had kept this behind closed doors, we could have done this.

That's true. I don't know what I was thinking He's out of shape Your team's Luca Fracturing things And it's been what 9 10 weeks Luca gets frustrated

This baby says a little something You know like It'd be nice if this guy hit this jumper I set him up more perfectly in the corner But I love this But ultimately though I believed in Arch Manning It's on me

That team is dog shit Texas's offense is so bad It's not fun to watch Not at all What's going to happen this coming week Aren't they Is the Aggie their next game They have

They have an Arkansas I want to say this week Oh And then yeah no Dude if Adam gets on top of Texas early That's going to get ugly When are we doing picks next week Wednesday Sure yeah

Because we do have a show Friday Does that work for you Mike? Yeah I think so Am I? He's coming with us yeah He's on the train Yeah Oh, that's right

Mike Soroy will be with us Next Friday, Cain and Ables in Austin You hear that? Ladies of Hill Country That's gonna be great Oh yeah, the Cowboys game's Thursday We gotta do it before that Yeah, we need to do it Wednesday

Like that's what we've always done Oh, okay, all right, geez Why's everybody yelling at me? Boy, two bad weeks And now he's testy I know I just demand excellence All right, so team-wise, we have 158 wins They have 155

Player-wise leading the pack it's tough Jake Kemp has 61 wins this year out of 110 games picked Mike has 56 I have 51 Danny with 50 Cash with 49

and then Blake with 46 so very bunched up very bunched up once it gets past the top two which are Jake and Mike Soroy so it's time to pick Cash has a theory that you got ties because of the

cut we put in you guys are picking nervous now and he really thinks that's going to like impact things I hope he's right because of the what the cut thing because we took six yeah we took six games out of your lead now we're going to take the lead this week like and it wouldn't even

you know be that that weird of a swing you think you guys are picking nervous he keeps saying that your your booty holes are tight yeah and again like I would not say that I've seen this in my teammates I would not but I have I would tell cash Why don't you come say it to our face?

We'll pay for half. We're not scared of nothing. We'll pay for half your lunch. I do know last week you guys were accusing us of some level of cheating. And that we do not talk about this off the air. How you could accuse us of that is it's beyond me. I'm pissed. I'm offended.

The fact that I come in every week with some kind of a bit, hey, I have a Baker's shirt. I'll pick Baker for my triple play. I know. And you guys are like, oh, I really like middle. Tennessee State. I don't know. ChatGPT told me to take this game.

Western Kentucky minus 13.5. Right. Western Kentucky, who the hell know? People in Kentucky don't know anything about Western Kentucky. And you guys all of a sudden are now picking those games and we put that on top of the fact

that the unwritten, they're spoken a little bit, rules, and it's all friendly. We're all just friends here. Are, okay, you send in your picks to the whole group so you can all see the picks. And you guys hid your picks. You did

not reply all. Not one of you. No. Like, oh, I'm going to hide my picks like a pussy. I said it. You did not reply all. There are some women who are about to sit down for lunch. Sorry. Sorry. We'll pay for half your meal. We will.

Hey, you want the whole dumb zone or not? You want the full experience here. Yeah. There is a certain advantage to seeing the entire board and then picking being the last person to pick on Saturday morning. Yeah. Which does happen quite frequently for you guys.

Well, no, it's supposed to work in the best picks first and then people. I just tell you that I'm not looking at anybody's ever. So Jake can pick first. Yeah. I don't. Neither do I. I don't either. But if you want to all pick behind the scenes and if you want us to collude and work on our

picks together like you guys are, then we'll do it. We're not doing it. We've got the three-game lead. We could just copy you, Big Boy. That's what we'll do. We'll ice this shit right now. We'll knee before the two-minute warning. Watch us.

Just saying, these guys aren't playing fair, and I don't like it. That being said, I really like Ball State this week. Something I saw. Out of the Cardinal. There's something I really saw in the practice this week. All right, so let's pick games. We start with the first, and then we get down to the worst. we have the cowboy game we have to pick

and this is what we do on the air we pick the cowboy game the eagles are favored here in Dallas by three and a half points and then you pick your triple play so we'll start with Jake okay Tennessee has not

won in the swamp Blake since 2003 10 straight Florida's at home getting points It's tasty, Dan. Four to plus four and a half at home. So you like that one? I like that one.

And you're going with that? No, I'm not. Oh! Just triple the cowboy and get it over with. It feels like getting off the chiefs wagon right now is like my Bitcoin experience or Mike Soroy's top shot experience. Like, we've been riding the Chiefs. Don't just bail because last week they lost to a great team. But that's not the pick.

The Eagles are wearing Kelly Green. Please. I knew it. The Eagles are wearing Kelly Green on Sunday. The birds are undefeated, 5 in 0 since they brought those back. That's the first time they're going to wear them on the road in 30 years. And for those reasons, I'm going to take the three and a half and triple play the Dallas Cowboys. Because here's how the script goes.

They will get us back in. You should have known. They will get us back in. They'll probably beat Kansas City. They might beat Detroit, and then they will lose to either San Diego or something like that. But you've got to get San Diego, Los Angeles, the Chargers. They're going to be back in, and it starts with a big win on Sunday afternoon during the stream. Triple, Whipple, Whipple, Play.

You have to triple the Eagles. I just, right, to negate it. Yeah. All I know is this, that ruined my cowboy. The last cowboy game, when I bet a triple play on the Cowboys, Cowboys, as you know. Yeah, well, that's because you had no confidence. Yeah, and then they got killed.

By Jacoby Brissette. That was pre-Quinnon. It's Quinnon time now, baby. Well, why did they're, why was their offense? Crappy. Why was their offense bad? Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.

That's my logic, and I'm sticking with it. Who's up next? Mike Soroy. Thank you. I will say this. I don't know if you've ever had the pleasure. Maybe Blake has of standing on the side. sideline and watching your triple play just get fucking annihiling.

I thought about you. So did I. Where was that? They were at Duke. And it was not close. We went to Duke. Our buddy's the coach there. And we had all access everything.

We went to the walk through the day before. I'm like, oh, yes. They were sitting in me pictures from practice. They scored a touchdown almost every play in the walk. Mikey sent me a text. And I hadn't looked on the sports app to check the scores. And he goes, my triple at Duke isn't looking very good right now. And I knew it had to be like in the second quarter.

So I thought maybe they were up by a touchdown. And I looked in it was like 30 to 3. Yeah. So bad. And they were favored to win. Yeah, they were the home unranked favorite versus ranked team. My beautiful theory that usually works. That's 0.2.

Yeah. Yep. It's brutal to be there in person. But, you know, it was heartbreaking. It was 31. to three and we're just uh this thing's done that was very hard um all right that said i am not tripling the fighting dallas cowboys but i do believe in them i think they did play philly really close in week one obviously i'll remember that and i'm legit when they have five

or six new people on a shitty defense that changes how shitty that defense is when one of them's playing williams that matters too so i am getting down on the cowboys plus 3.5 as a regular play and then because they did so good for us last week by failing against the Broncos I am a reward the Kansas City Chiefs who are minus three and a half and a little bit desperate against the Colts I am triple playing the Chiefs of Kansas City

minus three and a half against the Colts Do you have that image? Speaking of a lot on the line if this matters, there is an account I followed that does like the playoff leverage index and you can see how much each team has on the line each week the chiefs have the most by far this week like if they lose you can see it goes down to like 30% if they win it's up to 70 this is their this is the biggest game you know non-playoff game of mahomes's career i mean i was

thinking that last week you know they're four and one at home colts are two and two on the road i mean i just i believe yeah we're the dolphins on this little sheet i don't see them now I think a win would take... It's because they have a buy week. They would go, okay. Yeah, there you go. They're going to stay 100%. We've got a win, so we're eligible for the In-the-Hunt graphic.

They're on the second page. All we cheer for is to be in the hunt. We call that sniffing around. Around the dumb zone. Okay, yep. I saw that. All right. I think I'm pretty bad at the Cowboy Games this year.

Let me see. Yeah, I'm two and eight. Don't love that. Give me the Eagles. Okay, good. That's smart. Give me the Eagles to try and negate at least one of Jake's three losses there. And, yeah, the convoys are baffling.

Just a effing baffling team. I know they're at home, though. It's a different team. We'll see. We'll see what happens. So there's a lot of tasty plays out there, my boys. Me boys, a lot of tasty plays. One I'm looking at real hard.

Buccaneers at Rams, you're giving Baker six and a half points. And I know that he recently failed in this venture at Buffalo. He's at a couple of tough weeks, and we are directly in the Baker cycle of serious doubt. No one believes he can do it. And I really don't believe they could be that crappy just to get beat by double digits week after week after week. But I'm not taking Baker. Oh, come on.

You sold me. He doesn't want to wait until Monday night. No, it's Sunday night. I'm looking out at the desert. Yeah. The Cleveland Browns are starting Shador Sanders. Fresh off of a robbery. Fresh off of a robbery.

He's very motivated to prove the world wrong. He's very motivated. He's embarrassed about last week's quarterback rating, which I believe they said, if he would have just spiked the ball into the ground after every snap, he would have had a higher quarterback rating than he actually finished with.

You look at the Browns, and so there is a lot of motivation for the Browns, but you look at them, and their history is not good. Since they came back to the NFL in 1999, They have had 17 quarterbacks make their first NFL start as a rookie. And those quarterbacks are 0 and 17. They have not won an NFL start.

The last time that happened was 1995 with Eric Zeyer. Wow. You look at the Browns on the road this year. They have lost 41 to 17. 34 to 10, 23 to 9, 32 to 13, and 27 to 20. So every game they have lost by a ton. What's the other Shador thing I had? Let me take a look here.

Hold on. I'm not done. You think I'm done with Shador stuff? No, I would never make a fool out of me. With his start, he is going to become the 42nd quarterback to start for the Brown since 1999. How many years is that? 26. 26.

42 different quarterbacks. Now I saw that stat, and I wanted to go look for another one on my own. And this was from 1950 to 1995. The first part of the Browns, how many years is that? 45 years? They had 27 starting quarterbacks. So in their first, whatever, 45 years, and then the last, like, the exact opposite.

And if you want to look at one last stat on Shadur Sanders, he wears number 12. He's getting his start in week 12. What are we doing? 12 times 12 is 144. What is this? He was drafted with pick number 144. Don't do this.

You're upset with me. You're going to trouble. No. But I'm not playing the Browns. Oh, God. What a team. What I am playing. is Dan Campbell to get right versus the New York Giants at home.

They're favored by 10 and a half. Give me Detroit to beat up on a bad team at home. That's what they do, folks. Okay. Ripple, Whipple, Whipple, Play. The Detroit. With Andy Kaufman. The Detroit Lions, my triple play.

Up next, we have Danny. I will also take the Cowboys at home to not, I think, they're going to win out right. Triple plays. I've benefited from a rule that you guys have in your picks where you still get it if it's a push, and it happened again last week. We actually changed that rule last Saturday.

Last Saturday, we had an emergency meeting. You changed it back. All right. Well, then we're six back. Sorry about that. This week. I'm going to bet on the team that made a midweek quarterback change because the Jets benched fields and are going with a guy that's named after a part on the front-in-of-an-of-an automobile.

They're going to start Tyrod Taylor, and I don't think Baltimore is going to beat them by two touchdowns. I think the Jets will keep it closer than that, so I'm going to triple play the J-E-T-S Jets. Ripple, Whipple, Whipple, Play. Get a veteran in there to steady hand, calm things down a bit, and have a nice showing. Right? Who's with me? I'm with you. Thanks, Mike.

All right, Cash's Triple and Cowboy? I got him. Via email. He has taken the Philadelphia Eagles minus 3.5 and his triple play that I am merely reading. So please don't yell It is Western Kentucky Unbelievable, dude He loves them

He's a fan At LSU It's horseship An SEC team A conference that he falls very close to By the way though I almost triple played LSU in that game Against cash

Well just against Western Kentucky Let's go put it up Yeah It'll make our game It's fantastic Don't triple the conference I'm taking the Cowboys. We'll stick with the Cowboys.

It's a new sheriff in town. And finally, Blake Jones. Who? I'm going to triple play against the worst team with a winning record in the NFL. They are on the East Coast, traveling to the West Coast. They got a boost after beating the Cowboys.

The media loves to anoint a team whenever they beat the cruddy Cowboys. The Carolina Panthers wins this year over the Falcons, the dolphins, the Jets. There's no way they stay within seven of the San Francisco 49ers. Give me the Niners minus seven at home on Monday night football. I like it.

Ripple, Whipple, Play. You guys got a show tonight or are you too sick? Oh, yeah, we got a show tonight. No cash on the show tonight. But I wanted to tell Jake especially, but all of your viewers, we have a special guest joining us in studio because we tail the dumb zone.

We follow your social media accounts. We have won Mason Brick-Lidoo. Wow. Joining us in studio to tell his tales of being a promoter in the rap game of DFW, befriending a very young post-Malone, losing that friendship, and starting a ranch where he sells beef out in East Texas. He knew MacMiller. Did you know MacMillard?

So you haven't done any research on him, have you? I didn't know that. Now you have. All right, thanks, fellas. See you boys. Tune in tonight. Bye, Kanye Roso. To Cirque du Soroy.

Bye, Malcolm. There you go, wave. That guy, waved. On the YouTube. That guy waved. We have a new sponsor, Jake. And we have to get this up into the den because just got it in the mail yesterday.

Yeah, a little bit possibly you could say strange to be doing a bidet ad. in a restaurant, but we're here to talk to you about Tushy. Tushy. You are a huge proponent of the bidet. I've had a Tushy Biday for a long time since well before they approached us. So, yeah, it's pretty simple, man. Your butt's gross.

It's disgusting. If you're not using a bidet, you're just covered and poop all the time. And it's gross, and you should stop. Become a cultured person. So compare this to toilet paper. It's not even, it's just a much better experience. These are the, and used to, you had to pay several hundred dollars, they were really hard to install, you had to, like, maybe even get a plumber involved. These are easy.

You literally just pop it on. It's very, very simple. You're going to feel cleaner, fresher. Let's see, it says here, this is daily decadence with practical benefits. Over half the people who wash with Tushy soothe their hemorrhoids, and nine out of ten people reduce it. Itching and discomfort. Yeah, it's all true. Let's see.

Finally, I want to say to you, remember, A-hole is only a naughty word if you wipe. For a limited time, DumbZone listeners will get 10% off their first bidet order when you use the code, DumbZone at checkout, 10% off at hello-tushy.com with the promo code DumbZone.

That's right. 10% off. Hello. It takes like 15 minutes to install. 30-day money-back guarantee. It's a life-changer. It's a game-changer. We're going to give it a try.

You think the guests will enjoy that? I sincerely hope no guests are going that route in the den, but I don't care. I just know there's a lot of people after them. Didn't you do that and get caught by my wife once? No, that was Jake because he didn't flush. My wife walked in on my wife. One of you guys, was it peeing?

Yeah, I had my tiny little hog out. Shall that's cute. It's all perspective, so she probably thought it was giant. The one that she is used to looking at. Shall we do so? Okay, so do you want to carry viewer mail and just do it tomorrow? Or do you want to do like one or two today and then the rest of them? One or two today is good.

Yeah, that's good. Let's split it out. All right. Jake finally said I had a good idea. Or he stopped himself before saying it. You got any? I have a couple. I'm going to start out with a piece of audio.

This is from Clayton. He was watching... Foodie, Clayton? No, he was watching Vandy Auburn a couple weeks ago. and heard something. Maybe it's the things that sound dirty. But you're able to keep Ashton Daniels from being able to escape that pocket.

He took a pretty big hit at the end of it. And you're right, Rinaldi first to him. And Cox's second punt. And height. Okay. So I believe what we have here is a... That's a... A punch, but actually very good.

A punter whose last name is Cox. and this is and he has already punted once this will be not his first not his third but his second punts and so it sounds like this the first to him and cock's second punt back there for another

c s a punt G d s c s c s like has some old timey football coach ever saying and we ran out there and did another C-sucking punt absolutely Nellie has already come up on the show today

We were debating the other day, like, why would he be doing the halftime show montage medley for a Raiders game? And Christian sent us this. It's an image advertising a Nelly show at Town Square Park in Anchorage, Alaska. Oh, my. That's a mighty ball. Where he's performing with Chingee. Everybody in Alaska getting tipsy. This does not feel like Nellie's doing well.

Town Square Park and Anchorageville. But who knows? Maybe they have a big budget. Who knows? What's his net worth? 70 million? No freaking way, dude. Okay, I'm sorry, 60 million.

There's no. Okay, maybe. Yeah. I'll keep going. I got one here from Justin. Here's an anchor word, Blake. Okay. Although I'm not, I guess this is the anchor word.

Blanken and hollering. Hootin. You don't hear a lot of hooting. No. Ever without hollering. Okay. So add that one to the list. Hootin and hollering.

Parker in Rocky Point emails. Dear Daniel, last weekend in my rec league softball game. We had a moment that felt like the Wayne Gretzky puck to the wife's head incident. So this is rec league softball. One of my teammates' daughters.

Maybe seven years old. She is riding a scooter during the game. When I come back to the dugout with about 45 minutes left, I was told she had fallen. They asked me to take a look because I work in the medical field. It did not take a degree to see what was

wrong. Her arm was clearly broken. But instead of heading out to the ER, the mom kept playing so we didn't have to take an automatic out. Whoa. The kid sat on the bench crying with a broken arm until there were just a few minutes left. Wow. I want to know what would our Resident Hall of Fame softball legend Blake Jones have done in this situation from Parker in Rocky Points. You got to leave.

Your kid has a broken arm. Yeah, but your team's going to get an out every time you're up. I obviously think the game situation matters here, right? If it's a blowout, you're leaving. If it's close and she's got a rake and she needs to be in the lineup, she's staying. That's seven, though. Can I? Four is like your kid might not ever remember this.

Seven, your kid's going to remember this forever and then... Can I, though, ask the, maybe the Dan McDowell-esque question of, Are you certain that a kid is way worse off having a broken arm for 20 minutes longer? Like one kid has a broken arm and gets attention right away, the other one gets it 20 minutes later? Are you sure that that actually impacts the health outcome? Yeah, but that 20 minutes will change the way you're viewed by all of those people forever. I'm saying they're now...

Yes, especially after I park one over the... Now, you would almost have to do that. The pressure is so high when you come to the point again. You cannot roll out a third base. Let me reference your bad business decision and the short-term business, the long game. You're playing the long game with your kid. You're playing with those here. But I guess if you're just worried about your image, then you're going to do that.

If you're not, you're going to stay and play because you're a competitor. Wow. I got one. I'd like to meet the lady, though. That's amazing. Would you like to meet the lady? Absolutely. Yeah, let's just kind of see what she's all about.

We could probably get her. Blake meets his second wife at softball, too. That's how I met the first one. It's just how he does it. Brandon sent us this, had an interesting moment at church the other day that I thought you'd find enjoyable. He was at church, local Parker County Church, pastor was preaching on the redemptive power of God, the power of prayer, he gives biblical examples, the parting of the Red Sea,

freeing the Israelites from control of the Egyptian Pharaoh, other typical examples you'd expect to hear. It was into my surprise when I looked up, and there was a. picture of baby jessica being rescued from the well popped up on the screen i couldn't believe what i was seeing i nearly shitting pants when the pastor began into his fiery weave and told the congregation how once there was a baby named jeska who fell into a well it took everything in me to keep from busting out and laughter but the pastor went on to explain the story in great detail and weaved it back into his main point by saying that you know prayer works

you with the classics you know and then his attempt to sort of modernize because of that a little bit you know he's got again saving the israelites all these examples and then he's like and also one you may not have heard of or maybe you do remember the baby who was in the well put that picture up there and uh joining us now she walks out and needs some money right that's definitely yeah pass around the thing for for adult jessica not going well i have a couple of uh blake relates emails. One from Jeff. Gee or Jay?

Gee, our guy in Austin. That's why I asked. G off. He says, as you know, I have a things I'm done with list, remember? Oh, yeah. Like he's done with San Antonio. Yeah. What else is he done with?

Bridges or something. Just a bunch of graduations. He says Blake is getting with the program, finishing up the last bit of bar, a bit of bar of soap in the shower, not worth it. Nope. Trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste.

No, thank you. I completely agree. Shout out to Blake from Jeff. I dealt with this last night. I channeled my inner Blake and Jeff in the den as I love

the foaming hand soap and I'm down to the part where if you push it like little comes out but if you just keep doing it Like, you can get to that last millimeter of foaming hand soap will last you like three weeks. But I decided, you know what, I'm closing this up. We're throwing it away. We're putting a brand new hand soap there.

No. See, I never get to that point. And this is when I was young and I realized, I thought it was cool that I would hear comedians, like black comedians talk about things. And I'm like, that's how it was for us. I'm, of course, here referring to Chris Rock and Mo Tussin. the rob of tussin is low you fill it up with water you shake it

we have mo tussin I'm filling that soap up halfway through with water and just diluting it and using it and my wife does that too I do that with soap all the time I hate that because then you don't they probably put too much in there anyways

it's probably overkill yeah they are there are always big companies always want to give you more of something they are usually putting too much in that you have to believe it. I want to add one to the list, deodorant. Oh, dude.

Because there were times out of the head out of my armpit just to get that little bit. You ever pick up the pieces of deodorant after they fall in it? They tried to like that. I don't know. Maybe if I mash that into my armpit. We don't need to do that. God, that's beaten. Just one Blake one or did you have another one?

I thought you said you had a couple of Blake ones. I have a couple follow-ups because I definitely heard from rolling suitcase people. Oh, my. And rubber ring people. Oh, yeah. I did not know I would set so many people off. But somebody said Jimmy Fallon almost lost his ring finger because he fell in his house and got caught on something. And it was because of the rubber ring?

No, it was because of the regular ring. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I've heard of guys getting ring injuries. And the only reason I've heard of that is because I needed all of the excuses I could get when I decided I wasn't going to wear. Here's the best one that I heard. If you ever dunk on a rim that has a chain. Bro, this, you can't see it.

You can barely see that V-scar right there. That's from a chain. When I could dunk or dunk a small ball, the chain just ripped my... Babe, what if I'm dunking? What if I'm out dunking on a chain? What if I'm at Rucker Park? I can't wear this. And I have my wedding band on.

Here's a quick one from Nathan. And we've already done enough today, so I don't know why I'm adding this on. If Kobe doesn't die in a helicopter crash, do we still have Luca? Is there any way Nico takes the GM job if his pal Kobe was still alive? And if he did, there's no way Kobe tells him trading Luca's a good idea, right? Did the Calabasasas Hills cost us Luca? Would you give your NBA winnings from that day up? Oh, yeah, I think so, Blake.

I think I gladly would. Now that tragedy's real for me, Blake. Yeah. One from Dropbeth, who still wants to hear from the Denver Ref Lady. Oh, she does, huh? Yeah. Is it not going to make it? I'll do it in the buy.

When's the by week? Already happened. Oh. Maybe we'll do it. Aren't we doing a 12-hour show, December 22nd? Are we not allowed to promote that yet? I don't know. We'll play it for you, Beth.

All right. Keep your shirt on. Okay. Do they say that to girls? Like, were you told keep your pants on? Yeah. Like, if you wanted something, hey, keep your pants on. I wasn't going to take them off.

But that was like a dad thing. Yeah, it just meant to excitement. Keep your pants on. Right. I think that's probably a sexualized thing that you're telling a little kid. Yeah. Because keep your pants on means you're about to go have sex or something.

right yeah uh tyler this is the uh the image from the holidays image clayton he says for the last two years at my job this is the things that are back we've gotten presidents day and june tenth off in lieu for what we used to get which was christmas eve and new year's eve now they have switched it back he's got an image of his holiday holiday calendar here that's a funny back one like for a few years it was like junez we're not working we're going to honor this. We all definitely know how serious this is. And then the culture shifts a little bit

and they're like, nah. I've always thought Juneteenth was a weird holiday to haven't have. But I'm not coming at it from that perspective, I suppose. Also, the perspective maybe you should come at it from is that they're all weird. It's just that one's newer.

And so it's weirdness is newer to you. Is that like the Mormon of? Yeah, kind of. I like that. People are like, yeah, Mormon, that's weird. It's so weird. Yeah, all right, you look at all this other stuff? Yeah, I think.

That they're doing? Yeah. Like if Mormon was the one that's been here for thousands of years and Christianity just started a couple hundred ago? It'd probably be, yeah. You'd be just laughing at what? You're doing what? Came back to life? No sex.

The baby? You're going to wait. All right. Cool, cool. We're done with that now. Now we're going to do the news, and we will make this news. brought to us by Lone Star Beer. They are our sponsor of all of the streams.

Excuse me, the football streams. So Sunday, we will all be drinking some Lone Star beer and some Lone Starlight. If you go to Lonestarbeer.com, you can get some cool merch at 21% off by using the code, Dumb Zone 21, I hope. Is that the code? Let's just say that it is.

It is. It's Lone Star Beer. Lonestarbeer.com, DumbZone 21, and they are also sending us to Austin. And next Friday, we'll be at Canaan Ables from 2.30 to 530. Thank you, Lone Star Beer. And Lone Star Lake. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. Well, the southern powerhouses would like a seat at the table

for all the news about your football team ain't been good news, the head coach at Cedar Hill has been placed on leave and an assistant coach has resigned. So, and, you know, they're already out of the playoffs, or didn't make the playoffs, but typically this is a powerhouse.

What happened? Well, okay. So, I believe what the situation here is that they were letting people come coach during practices that weren't coaches. Like they maybe had, like they said, well, this guy's like a substitute. He's a full-time sub. But you're not allowed to, you're not allowed to be a coach.

Okay, this seems pretty mild then. It's mild, but it's the sort of thing that another team, another school calls and gets you in trouble for. yeah because these guys were coaching during the season but you'd rather be in trouble for this than finding child porn or something sure yeah sure um just silver lining guy but i just i remember when uh i've told you guys my my basketball journey ended in high school when we got a new coach and he had come from seagaville which was a smaller school but had moved up and when we got this new coach uh that same summer we got a lot of new players and most of those players i did not see at school much at all and uh it was pretty clear

that my you know being several friends would that was it i was not good but my point is just in addition to there being uh players there that didn't go to school there would be guys at basketball practice who didn't work there you know what i mean like he just had his guys he's like this guy's with me so even at richland high school Yeah, I mean, we were recruiting players. We were huge, a huge school-wise. Like, we weren't, yeah, but they got good, and he's still there. Oh, really?

Oh, they've been dominant for many. I mean, they've had good teams, many of which were comprised of guys I only saw ever play basketball at the school. We had a shooting at a Walmart in Dallas yesterday, and I'm only doing this one because this is like the ideal shooting in that the, Okay. Because I don't like doing ones where it's just like, oh, here's five people who are dead. They were all related. Let's make some jokes.

In this case, the shooter is the only one deceased. This happened at a Walmart. He was, they believed targeting, this is like a romantic entanglement. And he shot two women, one of them an innocent bystander. I mean, the other lady's innocent as well. But she was personally involved. And then he ran to his car.

and shot himself. So I was listening to the Fox 4 report on this story last night. And there's a part in here that I wanted you guys to hear. This is Fox 4's David Sintry. Those women are stable at a hospital. We do not know how they know each other. But Baldello says the shooting appears to be personal. We're going to go to a guy who was observing this,

who was watching in the parking lot. He was pushing the bullets. I mean, he was just pushing. pushing because he was really angry. Baldayo, not knowing how to react while caught up near the gunfire. Do you get out of your car on your run or do you stay in your car and your duck? I mean, a lot of decisions, right? There's a shooting happening right next to you.

What do you do? Your life is flashing before your eyes. Do you get in your car and run? What do you do, as he said? Do you get out of your car on your run or do you stay in your car and your duck? Which are you going to do? What did he do? Ultimately, he recorded video.

He took his phone out. But he immediately got on. There were three options, actually. We didn't know. Yep. So with his life fully flashing before his eyes there, he's like, what do I do? Thinking of his grandma or something. He's like, oh, no, shit, I'm going to go live right now.

Oh, yeah. David Sentendry, by the way, a big poncho guy. You'll see on this image here. I'm tracking you, buddy. And we got a poncho ad today. He's got bits, man. That's a poncho shirt? It is.

Boy, that looks really lightweight yet very supportive. I wore my poncho shirts a day because it's raining, and I thought I need to be a, I need to be wick away here. I want to dry off quick. See, I wear my poncho shirts when it's real sunny out. Because it's got SPF? Yeah. That's right. Wow.

You're saying it's good for either one of those weather situations. I really am, Dan. Pancho outdoors.com slash dumb zone. Me? Yeah, under my suit jacket at Cowboys Games because it looks so nice. Wow. that good? It does look good.

I thought it was like an outdoor shirt. Unbelievable. Poncho outdoors.com slash dumbzone. 10 bucks off free shipping. Spell it out. Poncho outdoors. Dot out to the guy who was recording that. Oh, yeah.

So we've got some new details. I like stories like this because I like to, it feels cool to know what's going to happen in a few years from now, right? Like to know what I'm going to be doing. It makes me feel like I have. have info no one else has. Like what?

I, well, it's not even that. I know that I'm going to be spending a lot of time and money at the new Universal Studios Kids Resort in Frisco. Like this is, you know, I'm not saying it's Disney level, but this is a huge, huge park that they're opening,

which has like seven different worlds like at Epcot or something like that. Here's my question, though. Like, they've got a Shrek thing. They've got a SpongeBob thing. They've got a Minions thing.

But isn't this shit, like, old? Like, aren't these old concepts? Shrek, SpongeBob, and Minions? Sure. For starters, like, these other ones I don't even really recognize. You know, trolls I'm aware of, but... But aren't they, you know, legacy type stuff? Yeah, new stuff sucks, right?

they're like you know some things stand the test of time do your kids know Shrek they don't know Shrek they know minions though yeah minions in the Despicable Me movies for sure those are big players

but I mean Bambi was out when I was growing up and I guess my mom was like yeah that was a big thing when I was growing up yeah I guess there's a difference though between um watching it and building a theme park around it I mean, the Mickey Mouse, the whole

The whole thing is But nobody's focusing on Mickey Mouse while you're at Disney World, are they? I mean, wearing them ears? Those are pretty big. Yeah. I think you have a bad point here. I don't know. I would think to me they'd be looking for whatever.

In fact, I saw Cape Baldwin was telling me this morning that they have some new, it's like, what is it, Laboooooooo? Mm-hmm. Like, that's the new float at the Mesa. Thanksgiving Day parade to work it you work in a little new okay but most of the floats are probably the old whatever has been up there for years the Disney after a certain point they don't go pre like 1940 Disney uh that's a little hotter is it a little racist yeah the luboo

though uh a couple months ago a guy came to the dead and gave us one quote for the show and I wasn't really sure what to do with that other than just give it to my kid and use it as a... Do you know how much those things cost? No. Like, there's one she wants for Christmas that's over $100. What is it?

It's a plushy. It's a status symbol. It's a beanie baby. That's exactly right. So it's just because all the other kids have it? Yeah. I've dealt with that so much. It's weird because I have two kids

and one was always into the status thing and then the other one would take generic. everything, which is really weird. Yeah, because, I mean, you think that you would be dictating whether or not they'd be that type of person or not, you're not. We've got a

Guinness... Turns out they're influenced quite a bit by their peers. Yeah. Way more than you. A Guinness Book of World Records record was set in Wichita Falls, Blake. Boy, what could this be? There's a man named Raymond Hager.

Mm-hmm. He's been driving city buses in Wichita Falls for 27 years. And at 95 years old, he is the world's oldest bus driver. Okay. Yeah, this all checks out. I don't think I'm wanting my kid on that bus. That's all it takes to get into the Guinness Book of World Records now? Yeah, you know, probably what it is, is like, they realize he'd been doing it a long time.

And somebody at City Hall is like, I wonder if we could do a bit with this. It says he started driving at 14 and has driven larger vehicles most of his life. So he does have 80 years of experience, Dan. Is that him? Yeah, that's it. It's like a fly could land in his mouth at any point. And he wouldn't know it. Yeah, he planned to retire at 95, but he's still going.

Inflation. Is this school bus? No. Because, yeah, there's no way. So there's a city bus system in Wichita Falls. Is that surprising to you? Yeah. Feels like a small town.

I don't know. Is there a grapevine bus system? No. The issue's no. But Wichita Falls is considerably bigger than that, right? It is. Yes. All right.

Got to college. We've got a couple of news reports today about, this just means like the people at the Las Vegas Sands are talking. just about their political fight right now to legalize gambling in Texas which doesn't feel any closer than it did 10 years ago when we first started talking about this

five years ago and of course that was the plan when they bought this this franchise they've got over 100 lobbyists in Austin wait what is this about About the Las Vegas Sands trying to get gambling. They had like a press thing yesterday. And it didn't, they supported John Huffman in that one political race against Lee Wams games.

He was the pro-betting candidate. He didn't even beat her. So they've been taking L's left and right and left and right. Good. Because, right, this hurts the adults. Well, that's kind of what I wanted to talk about is like I actually think. Like, air quote, hurt. It doesn't really hurt if it took $10 billion.

I'm in favor of casino gambling being legalized just from a revenue standpoint. I don't think you should be able to do it on your phone. I think that's crazy. I don't think you should be able to advertise it. But casino gambling, you have to be on-site to do. But I do wonder, though, if because of the LUCA thing, that people will be like, yeah, you know, I'd be okay with it, but I don't want these people having it. Yeah. Like, if this may actually.

cost them good yeah i know it's not like that's a real hurting society that much if we don't have it you know it's more if you believe it can pay for like social programs things like that yeah but i feel like economically texas has the funds to do that without casino gambling the problem is is a lot of the times we have companies come here and we're like it would be awesome if you came here you don't have to pay taxes when you get here so we lose the base but we get the uh a rodeo has been canceled in fort worth i know you had big plans to head out to the rodeo's not a bad time i look i actually enjoy it kid loved it i've been i've been to one in uh like Wyoming it was a national championship my stepdad was it was a rodeo hand like while he was a cop I think what does that

mean to be a hand just to be more badass yeah it's like just it's not enough to be a cop my dad in the grave run up the score on chaffie i've got a Harley i'm a cop oh you're working rodeo your ex works 12 years younger than you get back to it box boy the was he younger too my your mom got a younger dude yeah we're younger nice she knows what's up poor chaffy Yeah, all he got was me. No, so the reason that they're doing this, there's an outbreak of equine herpes. Oh, no.

That has befallen, befell the rodeo. What's equine? Is that pig? What's a pig? Whoa. What's an equine? Go on. Bull. Equine.

Horse? That's a horse? Oh. Have you ever heard? I heard of the sport equestrian. Oh, okay, yeah. What's a pig?

Swine. Okay, that's where I was a little mixed up. And then maybe for... What's bovine? Cow. Cow. Okay. A lot of aines.

Why is everything in an eye? I don't know. Bovine, equine. K-9. K-9? So there's a... Answer me. Feline.

There's a statement put out of... There has to be some Latin. That I thought was really funny. So this is going to be like a bull riding format only anything regarding horses. They're not doing. There can be no horses in this event. But the statement from Cowtown Coliseum officials talks about their commitment to their employees and their contract folks that count on them for a paycheck,

which is why they're still going to have an event, just not with the horses. But first and foremost, they said, are equine athletes safety and health? of the utmost Right, no, they're in concussion protocol. There's a blue test. And how did they all get herpes? Like, I thought that the boning for horses was, like, extremely controlled.

Yeah. Like, are they just having horse equine gangbangs and, like, one chick is passing around? I'd be testing the stable guy. See, if he's... Yeah, if he's... Been spreading it around. What would the word for that be?

What's equinox? Why is that? It's a place where hot chicks work out for like $200 bucks a month. Don't you shake your head at me. Was that a joke? Yeah, of course. I have a piece of news.

Okay, wrap it up. You might like. It's just kind of silly, but it was in the... What's that baseball writer I like? Craig Calciterra? Calcetara, yeah. He's a definite why Hillary lost, but... Oh, yeah.

No, he's got a newsletter, and I subscribe to the free one that comes out every Thursday. Shove him in a locker. He had a story. The headline was J.D. Vance is sent to prison. And is a 67-year-old man from Michigan named James Donald Vance. He goes by J.D.

He was arrested because he posted online about wanting to kill the other J.D. Vance and Trump. And Trump's son. So he had posted that online. He ends up he's going to go to jail. His public defender, who was in charge of his case, wrote that Vance should receive probation instead because he's a first-time offender, and he also has some serious physical and mental health issues.

She attributed his mental health issues to abuse during childhood. She wrote that he was not properly toilet trained. Okay, why I'm just embarrassing this guy now? Well, then she wrote, Mr. Vance still enjoys wearing diapers. He uses the alias, diaper J.D.V on social media. So if you search diaper J.D.V. I will. Possible.

I don't know if those are still active because he is now going to jail. That's a smooth play by the lawyer, though, to just go all the way with it. Like, look, he's shitting. his pants. Yeah, like he enjoys... His diaper boy, he likes it. But not only that... You think this guy's saying?

And you say that's embarrassing? Not him. But his name... He likes it. You think this guy's sane? That's a really nice play. Right. There's news.

The dumb zone... That felt loud. That's my bad. My bad. The punchy. Like and subscribe. That was the good news. Viewer mail birthdays and today in history

Spud's band is playing the Deep Ellen Block Party this weekend. We definitely need a Roast Twins review. Let them loose and grow it out from day one number 124 Nick rash.

That's a good dude right there. I've smoked a cigarette with him. Also playing that Deepel and Block Party are good friends in oatmeal pizza, which consists of Blind Josh and Christina Ray. How's he going to get there? It's chauffeur. He's the only person other than my wife that I have a shared location with. I've got his.

I don't know if he's even got mine, but. So if you are missing a sense, are you better at art and music? Like, didn't Beethoven have something like that going? He's deaf. There you go. Um, yeah. So that's why I'm not good at music. Yeah, I'm not.

It's just too, all your senses are too spread out, you know? I don't know. Hello to the coolest Dallas podcast. We got to see you guys at the Denver show live. And we had a lot of beer before 11 a.m. My boyfriend Coleman turns 27 today. He is from Denton. He is a car mechanic.

His leaders are Blake's stolen Jersey Mike sandwich and Jake's courage. I didn't know. Who's that? He stole a sandwich from CD Lamb. Yeah, the Cowboy Road Trud. All the other charters, everyone eats the same food. And so when I walk up and there's a Jersey Mike sandwich there,

I took it, not knowing that that's only for the play. No, you got, the media gets orange slices. So when Jalen Tolbert didn't have his ham and cheese, it was because I took it. Boy, that I didn't have an In-N-Out truck after the game. I forgot to ask Brandon about it. But just the whole truck, they were grilling hamburgers, and they had that fountain for your sodas. It was incredible. Never seen anything like it.

We're going to have burgers. I was going to say, you may see something like it Sunday, courtesy of Connie Roso in their catering arm. I'll be eating Jerry Jones's food. Yeah, I'm going to have. go ahead and continue to hype up the sponsor while we are on site. Yeah, I would rather have yours. I'm just saying. They're coming to cook

burgers Sunday. Did not know that. Anyway, this guy's name is Coleman. They can do it all. They really can. Like Arlington. We got a picture with Jake at the show. It was awesome. I bet it was, man. That sounds incredible. That's from Victoria.

Oh, cool. Anything else? Well, no, I just remember There's one guy had his wife with him. Dear Uncle Dan of the Immaculate Ejaculate. Please wish my cousin Tony a 63rd birthday. He lives in Tulsa and is a day one subscriber. He loves anything Blake does, Dan's riding lawnmower,

and anyone who fills in for Jake. Damn. Never pod from HP. That's a tough one. And dear paleontologist of the Poon, November 20th is my 46th birthday, Venmo sent, my leaders are Dan's book club beach towel, Blake's stack of 1099s funding a Chucky Cheese season pass, Coach Jake and his team's end-of-season momentum. How did Coach Jake get his nickname?

Request more airtime for foodie, CK side quests, as many of my own lame hobbies seem to align. What does he mean there? Coins, steak nuggets, reptiles. Sword? You got a sword? No, he's a gun. Oh, got a lot of guns.

Can I make a... Lazy tug that hog from Cole in Georgetown. Lazy? Can I make a potential... It's all not really into it. You know how we've talked about. We talked about, like, sword guy, reptile guy, kind of the same guy. It's oftentimes a white guy and other various stereotypes.

Like, aren't we in the age where we can just say this? I was at the pet story yesterday. And I think Asian dudes are really into fish and aquariums. And everybody here knows I'm right. But something about like the fast and furious Tokyo Drifty type era, cool cars and you have like dope stuff at your house. I think they like, I think they have an above average like for cool aquariums. Interesting. Keep an eye on it.

Yeah. Please do. Fairlease.org presents on this day in history. We do ferrets and stuff like that. The daughter wants a ferret. Let's see. Oh, your daughter wants a ferret? Yeah, it's calling her.

Don't do that. Her ancestor. No, I know. I saw one rip a girl's earring out at the mall when I was a kid. Because you used to be able to buy him at the mall, you know? Tell her about that. Today is Thursday, November 20th. On this day in 1923, American inventor Garrett Morgan patents the traffic signal design,

adding a caution between stop and go. So, an important development in automobile safety. Respect. That's... Look up, Garrett Morgan. You'll be very surprised. A lot of inventions or innovations? Yes.

And? Oh, he's a black guy. Black guy. From that air, that's incredible. We're in 1877. Absolutely, dude. On this day in 1974, Jeff Burroughs wins the MVP. Texas Ranger.

Jeff Burroughs. Is that thought of as one of the weaker ones or what? You don't hear much about it. Yeah, he hit 301 with 25 homers and 118 RBI. This is the day in 1982. It's the legendary Cal Stanford end of game where the University of California used five laterals to score a disputed winning touchdown

on the last play of a game against Stanford, 25 to 20. And that's where the band was already out onto the field. field running onto the field to celebrate the victory. The band is on the field. And the guy, the kick returner actually ran through the band, like knock someone down. And on this day in 2009, holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience that she is ending her talk show. Wow.

In 2011. Oh, that's right. I remember this. No. I don't think you should get to do that. No. To announce, and then you're all teary-eyed. And then you just come back on Monday.

You come back 700 more days. Yeah, that was weird. Very self-important. I mean, it's kind of what Colbert's doing, right? Or is it already over? Maybe a couple months out. But yeah, like that's an odd one, yeah, for sure. And today is November 20th.

What do we have for November 20th this day in Dumb Zone history. We've only done one show on this day. It was back in 2023. And Jake came in and said his flag football team won the championship, but it was close. I realize you haven't talked about in a while. Have you retired? No.

Hell no. They have not, we have not played. And it's better to not play during the fall for me. But they all just want to get hammered and watch football on Sundays. I want to work. So it works out for... Yeah, you used to play. Sundays, though.

Yeah, but they're just not into it for the fall anymore. So we are back in action in February, and I am playing Sunday morning with a group of the listener invited me, like nine weeks ago, and it's been canceled every time, and finally this Sunday we're playing. I'm back at it, baby. Quarterback? Am I? With my throwing?

Yeah. You're improving? And then this was the Micah pre-workout game. where he drank too much C4 He raw dogs I think he brought dog C4 Like he was just dry scooping pre-workout

God I miss him Yeah I'd just say let's do it just before a game I never done it just try it before a game It would almost be like Would you maybe try it during practice once first? Yeah The week of Yeah

It's former cowboy day for birthdays Zach Martin 35 Zammott and Tyler Beattish 28 Hmm. Cedric Wilson, 30. Joey Galloway, 54. And to Shard Choice, 41.

It's my everything. It's my nothing. Joey Galloway traded, I believe, for two first-round picks, by the way. Yep. Yep, yep. Back in the day. Elsewhere, Dabo Sweeney is 56. I'm going to make this program in the name, image, and likeness of Jesus Christ.

They're not out of the bull hunt. The bowl? Just getting to any bowl. Oh, this is what happens when you have a family member who works for a program. I remember this. I remember being four, three and four around this time of year. And everybody's like, we might be able to get to Mobile. No, and that's so.

Gasparilla bowl. Yep. I remember this. I'm like, when are you coming home? Can we schedule a flight? Can't do it because she works for the team. Yep. And they had just come to her and asked, she works for the team.

quotes. She doesn't get paid, but she's a graduate student. And they're asking, is she going to be around for Christmas? And she told them she will if they need her. And I said, that's the way to do it. But just think of how far you've fallen, that Clemson is experiencing the same thing that me and my family did when Joe was at Tulane in Conference USA. Can we get to the Sun Bowl? If we beat Middle, we're in. What about the Armed Forces Bowl? And I believe they started the season in the top 10, right? Of course they did. Klobnik.

Tarik Scoobel. Dan. Terrick Scoobel is 29. Looking into him this morning, 29th round draft pick. How about that? And that's weird, too, because he's not, like, subtle. He's the American League's Cy Young winner the last two years in a row.

He's violent. He throws hard. Carlos Boozer is 44. His kids were playing today, or at least one of them. Yeah. Boozer? Yeah. He has like the two...

Does he have twins? I think so. Yeah, they're like a foot or like six or seven inches apart. So they play different positions. They play basketball? Yeah. Okay. Mark Gastino is 69.

Oh, he ran up on Brett Favre recently. Yeah, I remember him in the news. It was the New York Sack Exchange documentary, and he was mad that Farve had let Michael Strayhan sign him. And so he just approached him at a card show, really serial killer-like. Oh, he got up, he went in Farv's face? Farms, like, I don't know what the hell's going on here? I got welfare to fraud.

No problems here, yeah. The break is explained here. Joe Biden is 83. Come out to Kanye Russo, man. Hey, Jack. By the way, his. son's going to run for president one day and the one that was on crack and stuff

hell yeah there's going to be a point where it's kind of like with trump where it's like people are like that's actually i know people who have that problem or do this or that it's not weird if we need time to kill during a certain stream we should go back through that joe biden with the texas rangers in the white house that audio is great he's just dying up there

remind me well the rangers won the world series and visited the White House, and Biden is trying to do improv. It's not going well, pretending to know about baseball. It's awesome. That sounds awesome. Let's see if I can find any clips. Huh. I don't remember that at all, but obviously it had to happen.

Let's see. Future is 42. You think that's his real name? No, but I do think he really. really is Russell Wilson's son's dad. Russell Wilson's stepson's dad. Sierra has a baby with future. Oh, okay.

And they used to, like, opposing teams. Now, there's a lot of future on everybody's pregame playlist, but, like, when the Seahawks would come to town or Broncos, nothing but future in the pregame warm-up. Trolling. Mike D. is 60. That is from the Beastie Boys. And me.

Mike D. runner-up for Dumbzone birthday of the day, Joel McHale, 54. He contributed. I was watching a soup clip last night for some reason. And what an era. Yeah. The soup was so great.

It was necessary. The soup was needed. I wish it was still out there. I would know more about pop culture if the soup was still on. They would watch all those shows so you wouldn't have to. But you're like, what? Joel McHale, that's a big fan. How could that not be the Dumb Zone birthday of the day?

Well, that's because 13 years old today. We Man. Bentley is 13 today. Wow. Nina Pham's dog is 13 years old today? Wow. That's 12 more than I tried to give it. When it was potentially infected with, I think it's equine, Ebola.

That was, she did have Ebola. Shout out Bentley. Shout out Bentley. Let's see if Nina wants to come out to a stream. Last time I contacted her, she said she's not dating Joe anymore, and Joe is the big. Yeah, but I want to get Nina in the divorce, though. Sorry, Joe. Joe could be listening right now.

Do you think that would upset Joe if we had Nina? I guess we don't know the terms of the breakup. Perhaps it was initiated by Joe. Right. When she gave him Ebola. She never gave him Ebola. I know that for sure. Do you tell her that this won't be the worst thing that's ever happened to you?

I remember when, yeah, you can't be that upset. Right. The breakup. I mean, you had like every one of your possessions burned. Right. Incinerated. Born on this day now dead, William Painter. He invented the metal bottle cap with the crown.

Kennedy, the father of the guy of the brainworm. Right. Remember when he strapped that whale on top of his car? Oh, yeah.

That whale? I was like, what did you say? He's like, well, naturally, I had to strap it at the top of my car. I'm believing more and more there's never been a crazier time into politics, but I don't know. I've only seen this many. We had a president getting a duel. That's right. People used to duel.
