Is Chappie going to be on the show? Chappie's lock of the week. We're going to see when he opens the invite, how his Internet is from the boat. Chappie is on a cruise. Yeah. Did I see there's a Lindsay Sterling cruise? You did. Can I interest you in a cruise now?

You may. Okay. Would you do that? Would you do a four-day cruise with Lindsay Sterling? Why not? Can you imagine meeting Lindsay Sterling? No, I can't. The problem is it's going to be right during the Cowboys Super Bowl run.

I'd love to see what you'd ask you on. Because it's late January 2027. What you'd talk to her about, because I love when you make fun of the reporter's questions to Brandon. But then I could imagine you're talking to. to Lindsay Sterling, like, would it be a similar? I got, I got news. Do you like playing? Blake is a good interviewer.

All right. I only know that because I listen to him make chicken salad at a chicken S with coach interviews occasionally on his. Oh, yeah, I've heard him do that. Yeah, he knows what he's doing. Listen to the Eagles Nest, are you? I have. I've seen it in, you know, the sauces get made here on a Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, he got to hear me interview Todd Dodge.

That's right. what's going to be like when we kick your ass this weekend that's probably why he's able to do the interview is he's just leading these people to the gallows when you know your team's going to win by 48 you're like hey coach how he doing who do we have tonight abelene cooper over in godly

the funniest abelene school long time power not anymore really what's the spread I'll probably put it at let's go 31 and a half Whoa, Argyle favored? Yeah

Wow Yeah This is, yeah They don't get worried till December I thought we're in the playoffs This is not the playoffs It is what I'm saying First two rounds

You're just weeding out the people Who aren't supposed to be there How many? Way too many teams make the playoffs Okay Round three is when it'll get going And it's probably going to be Prosper Walnut Grove

And that'll be a good game Oh many predicting them to win the state championship they're good uh speaking of this i somebody told me that mike and duncanville shouted out either me or the the show or something on the musers this morning um when they were doing picks against the p one so i listened to that but i did not listen all the way through to hear if we came up but mike and duncanville mentioned uh when they were picking duncanville and rockwall heath that duncanville's quarterback is out this week weekend. And my buddy David Ruff from Washed in Austin, he's Duncanville guy, and I was trying to

find out what's to do with this? Why is he not playing? Mike and Duncanville said their quarterback is suspended because he took his mom's car out and she won't let him play. He's grounded? He took us, like drove the car without, like snuck out or something. So I did a little digging. And while I can't like fully confirm that. I can confirm that the mom has, he's not like suspended from school or, you know, suspended by the team. His mom has grounded him. And his name, Dan, his last name is Denton, Denson. Denson. D-E-N-S-O-N. Denson. His first name is Maximus the Great. and he's referred to by those three words every time I don't know but his first

or maybe his middle names are the and great but his name is Maximus the Great Denson he is listed on yeah 24-7 sports here's him on X yeah so he's been he's missed the last couple games including their their playoff game

QB King Max on the gram. Yeah. But he's grounded. I think he's grounded. That's what I'm saying. They got a big game tonight. Do you, okay, is this what a common high school kid would list their? This is Twitter.

His bio is 2027. Oh, yeah. Dual threat, QB. GPA, 6-2, 190 pounds, 275. bench, 405 squat, 46540, Duncanville High School, 3.0 GPA, getting 1% better every day. Will you do that for yours? It's just a cover letter. Will you bench and squat and run a 40 and put that in your bio?

7.2.40. Zero star. Because, yeah, they'll put the number, the little star emoji. A lot of times you'll have a huddle link, maybe a phone number. 90-pound bench. A coach's email. And your recruiting ID number. Correct.

The whole bit. How many percent worse am I getting every day? Like, I'm degrading. Right. Dude, I was listening to, this is not getting better. Speaking of social media, I know Matt Grimm read the Fort Bragg book, and I try to take notes as I read so that it's just not all completely gone. That's why the Kindle's good. Right.

I have the highlight on the book, and otherwise I'll, like, on an audience. I'll take a picture and save it, whatever, but there was a part in there that I was listening to the other day where they were talking about trying to take people undercover for international espionage, espionage. So whether you're CIA, or in this case, it's a lot of like Delta Force guys that they need to send into Syria, basically anywhere but Israel, because we're not allowed to. but it's becoming harder and harder to send people undercover because everybody has a social media profile for their whole life so they're like okay we can't have somebody just pop up all of a sudden with a new name in existence because then anybody's going to be able to figure out they have no

backstory we can't exactly astro turf in existence for this person that never happened right Like, we can't go to Instagram and say, well, you populate this whole. So it's becoming, like, harder and harder and harder to figure out ways to get people to actually be spies. We have to groom them from birth. Honestly, that was brought up is the, I mean, because they do come to a lot of these people pretty early. Like, high school, some people get reached out to, and they've, it's not that dissimilar from whenever, you know, you'll hear. The Americans. Draft picks now.

They tell them. like be chill about your social media profile it's kind of the same thing if you want to potentially get to go destabilize the venezuelan regime from undercover you should probably chill on facebook that's my point maybe that's what we could do with some of these people we round them up with ice and instead of deporting them okay you're now going to produce us a spy baby oh so it's not then we read the baby if we get no because that's You round up some young ones, too. Some high school ones.

I like that, though, because my first thought was going to be that, you know, they're always going to be working for their interests against ours, right? They're foreigners. But if we force them to breed and then take that kid's ours, the states, you know. These are just ideas. Just spitballing. That's all we do. We don't really implement many things.

So shout out to Maximus the Great. Are you good? Well, we forgot yesterday, a little follow-up on yesterday. We, I did want to shout out to Colton over at the Arlington Rodeo goat. That's right by the Con A. Rousseau in Arlington. And enjoyed a little burger on the way home after eating. I also, I pretty much didn't eat all morning. And so I had a quick burger after our show.

and then two hours later had a full dinner, the shrimp scampi from Cane Roso. Is that okay? I just cram my eating together in a three-hour period. You don't want to ask me. It's intermittent fasting. Yeah. Well, it was okay.

It was like 1,500 calories in... Exactly. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm listening to Clayton. Don't listen to either one of us. All right.

You know, they used to name burgers for people at rodeo goat, And I feel like there's very little competition for getting a little woke burger named after you at a local place. Like, you could definitely be the guy who has a- Why can't I be the veggie burger guy? That's what I'm saying. Nobody's coming for that. Yeah, salmon? Yeah, no one else wants that. Salmon I might have competition.

Yeah, tuna or something like that. But the veggie burger is like, it's at the bottom of the menu. Right. Barely even know it's there. You don't, yeah. You have to pull a lever so that everyone in the back can come out and laugh. Yeah. I like it.

They put a dunce cap on you. Eat it, you little baby. You know I've been physically ill for years seeing Pugs and Kelly up on the grapevine Weinberger's wall. Yeah. They serve a sandwich called the Pugs and Kelly. I know.

Were they on for two years? No, they were on forever. Put some respect on their name. It was never really my jam, but they were on a long time. I interned for Pugs and Kelly. Whoa. And what do you think? I think it was a great show.

We're very well produced, really driven by, the interns but yeah okay they good people they treated you well they treat me fine yeah he's a good friend of mine as you'll treat you as you'll treat an intern you know i'm a i want people to say i treat you to more than fine i uh conversed with pug sometimes on the dm so i've been meaning to get him on a game stream or something sometime but but i and i'll only get him on if he goes to wine burgers and says you know you'd have to change this make this a uh make this a jake and dan oh god that'd be great yeah i mean you you live there i go a lot go there yeah i'm about to be going more why getting divorced no no that doesn't make any i'm about

to be going like you're they're expanding and adding breakfast oh briefly on the show but if i could get a breakfast sandwich named yeah go for it uh the other thing from yesterday did you get your santa suit because we are doing some filming we've been a teasing dropping little hints here and there but we're doing like a really long broadcast a few days before Christmas, a telethon-type sitch. We'll explain it all on December 1st. But we're doing like a 12-hour show. Charity will be involved.

My mom is actually going to the Fox 4 studios tomorrow morning to start decorating. You talk in the Game Day Men's Health Studio? I am. Gameda.com. I'm going to game day after the show today. But yeah, so that I have energy to go. different bits, and we're recording a lot of stuff because we need 12 hours of content. So we'll be on there for 12 hours, but we might need the occasional, hey, here's a bit.

And we need a Santa suit. Did you get that taken care of on Twitter, or should I have talked to you about this off the air? No, no, no, no. We should have done it yesterday. We both failed. A guy hit me up today and said that he has one. Then he's in Plano. And I thought since this is like TC is involved in this project, I hit up TC this morning like,

hey, do you think you could get to Plano this afternoon? And I haven't heard from T.C. So he's probably not up yet. Okay. So one way or another, I'll have it. I'm not understanding. Am I somebody who hears this, like, at the time you want to DM me, but. I might, I'm probably the outlier.

Because you know I like a, it's probably my Marines background. I like a nice set schedule. Yeah. And I, I, I don't know. I love, maybe it's because. are the thing that we do is so scattered and we have a lot going on

and even within a show it's a variety show type thing but I like other things in my life to have a hard schedule and going to bed and getting up is one of those things but you can text TC at 11 one day and like he might be up at 6 a.m. one day

he also might be up at 2 p.m. Yeah. And I think Clayton is the same way. Yeah, I don't. He's like, well, tell me the day before if you guys want to meet in the morning, because otherwise, I'll just sleep until two. And I'm like, what kind of, who can do this? Different worlds.

I don't know. My bedtime, I guess, changes, but I'm always up, but early. But I don't know. I think a part of it is like. How can your bedtime? How can you go to bed at 9 one day? I was about at 12.30 last night. That's what I don't get.

Yeah, I mean, I just do it. Like the next day, I couldn't go to bed three hours early. And also, like, it never, I don't know, part of this is, like, T.C.'s job, too, but I promise it's Blake's. I've, this is, like, the first time I've really only had one job. I guess I'd do the D Magazine thing, but all throughout the time I was at the ticket, it's like, what am I going to, like, I had a day job, and then I worked overnight on the weekends, you know what I mean? And then you would work, there was no schedule, and then I had, like, an internship where I was over here. three days a week in the afternoon and then I worked at night

and then I had like there's never been a schedule Maybe I don't need it I've just always had so much going on that you know There's no predictability to it The dunza Dunza Dunza
