Now, on to today's program.
Yeah
I never listen to the Dom's all
Alright, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
I never listen, I'm going to listen to the Domzone.
Hey, good morning, guys.
We're here.
Crack open a cold one.
Water, that is.
You ever crack open a cold one at 7.05 a.m.
Many, many times.
That's dumb question.
Many, many times.
In fact, to be honest with you,
past this would have been a prime
a prime zone for that
oh yeah nobody's awake yet
nobody's working it's a week off
oh
are you taking off the edge
at 7 8 like what you're just preparing
for just getting started the difficulty
of the day
right
kind of getting loomed up
yeah it's I mean
it's tough to put myself back in that mindset
but it's maybe it's just like hey
there's no real logic
there's definitely no real logic but it's here
I don't have anything to do today.
You know, it would make it better.
It's a little sauce.
Yeah.
Make a little more fun.
If you got a ton of stuff to do?
Well, you know what would help me get there?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, man, won the big game?
Oh, no.
Lost the big game?
It's like potheads that are like, oh, you got to see this movie when high.
Right.
Okay.
What else do you not do when high?
Yeah.
Take a walk.
Oh, no.
Try that when high.
It's great how your legs will feel.
Anyway, it is Monday, the 22nd.
I'm willing to bet somebody somewhere listening to this has or will pop a top in the 7 o'clock hour.
Oh, absolutely.
Is somebody listening to this having relations?
You always wonder.
Right now?
No, I don't always wonder.
I've never thought about it ever.
I think about it all the time.
I remember one time somebody, it might have been a gay, not gay.
Somebody called Gay Not Gay once and asked if it was gay to have the Sports Day app on
why you were handling up on your, like Bob was in the middle of a big sports point, but
Yeah, it's okay with relations, but if you're handling up, then.
Didn't we have a guy who got a, we had a guy who got a hooker one time?
Maybe not us podcast, but DZTV.
There was a guy who had, there was a guy who said he scheduled an escort.
On in the background.
And it was on in the background.
After, like, family feud ended
And he was about to have sex
And I had to turn off
The Afrodeziac family feud
Can you finish before Bob finishes a question?
Hey!
There's Clayton
Oh, that's right, I'm Dan McDowell
I'm Jake Ken.
I'm Jake Jones.
And Fudy CK is here.
Here is the Game Day
Men's Health Studio that we
It's beautiful right now.
I was going to say we decorate.
it but we authorized the decoration the word is commissioned like jean jones okay jake kemp commissioned
these these walls yeah man we were up here yesterday by the way i don't know if i can do this
with the sweater all day toasty it's already well toasty and i don't like itchy arms agreed
so as you know i walked in here this morning with a sweatshirt on because it's comfortable yeah and then i
threw this sweater on and i was thinking okay well i got to be festive for the day i don't think
i can do it past i don't how long did i we're nine minutes in or four actually yeah i
where's your christmas spirit but dan brings up a good point and so does blake most of when
somebody says where's your christmas spirit they just mean why aren't you willing to take this
ass beating with a good with the rest of us yeah that doesn't mean but to dan's point about
itchy arms totally agree and i feel like females must just not have that
because they're wearing itchy shit all the time on their arms.
Yeah, what's up with that?
Maybe they don't have as much hair on the arms that's bothering them.
Look at us solving problems.
That's right.
I have an Epstein.
You never see them wearing like a wool underwear.
No.
That's a good point.
Or a brillo pad made of...
I have an Epstein Christmas sweatshirt.
It says something like these Christmas lights didn't hang themselves.
I bought this probably four years ago
and had put it to the recesses of my closet thinking
it was like having a Harambe sweatshirt or something like
Well that moment is past
We've moved on there
And no it's like now I feel comfortable wearing it on something
That'll be on TV because it's like
You know my mom and TC's mom
About Little St. James
Used to be just you
You liked him before you like the story
before it was cool.
Yeah.
I bought Dude Ranch.
So we're here in our downtown Dallas,
Game Day Men's Health Studio,
beautifully decorated by your mom
for a 12-hour program
that we are calling a sub-a-thon.
We're trying to drum up subscriptions
for the show,
for the YouTube channel.
I think we're on YouTube right now.
And I think Henry is monitoring the chat.
Is that right, again?
Why is Henry here?
I was wondering, why is he here?
It must be to monitor the chat.
Helping hand.
He really had nothing else to do and wanted to help,
so he gave him the most menial job we could find.
I thought last time you told me he wanted to help.
Yeah.
Where was that?
That was it, Coné Roso and Saxi.
And so he showed up, but then didn't do anything.
He offered to help tear down and get the speaker and wrap cable,
and then he instead talked to a female at that.
the remote instead. And then left. But I've told you guys, it's like those coaches for
you know, atomic habits, like where they'll tell you just get ready for the gym one day
and then drive to the gym in month two. Eventually, it starts with Henry looking at some
equipment and saying I could probably do something there. Notted. And then maybe by next
summer, you know. Yeah. Or didn't he offer to help? He came out to the den. Yeah. And then he just
didn't do anything. I can't complain to you anymore, can I?
Have him tweet the link on Twitter
The link for the
For this
The stream today?
I'm not giving him access to our Twitter
Also a decent point
But why?
You know
I mean
He's gonna be sliding into DMs
That's a
Hey dumb zone here
I was gonna say like TC has it
And you're not
I don't know
I trust TC
Boy
When have you ever heard that before
From anyone
This is a new TC

Not the car.
Yeah, okay.
We donated the kid.
Somebody donated this kid to the North Texas Food Bank.
He was real hungry.
And then they gave him a sandwich.
Good for him.
You can help him.
Yeah.
Help us, help him.
Help you.
Help others.
How's Angelo doing?
I feel like in this spirit of checking in on our, uh, those who have less than.
Um, I actually got him like a Christmas goodie bag.
I haven't met up with him yet.
Okay.
Uh, it's actually been somewhat warm, so he hasn't hit me up about his quilt yet.
Uh, but I need to get him a quilt.
But yeah, we're gonna, I'm gonna take care of him.
Are you quilting it yourself?
No.
Are you, like, building it?
No.
With little memories of you and Angela, a little picture of like him in the backseat of your car with your kids.
And we have a lot of lesbians who listen to this show.
I feel like I could get you a quilt super quick.
We've had some people donate to the Angelo Fund this month for Christmas,
so there's some money.
I just need to go get it and meet up with them and give it to them.
And that's great, but I'm talking handmade.
I guarantee you there's somebody here.
But whatever.
Do people still crochet?
That's made a thing that I don't know if it was COVID.
But yeah, you know, like baking bread, getting meat-pilled.
Crocheting is like, I'm pretty sure one of the girls that I dated early on
that was like full-on hipster.
roller derby and stuff was already crocheting.
It's like having a record player.
I was just thinking she had a record player.
We had a listener, Nikki, crochet
has some blankets. That's right. I love it.
She's straight as the day is long.
Yeah.
Well, people are still doing it.
Trad, trad wives?
Is that coming back?
Well, yeah, I mean, that's what trad means.
Traditional.
Brother, it's been back.
Yeah, it's, I think it's back. I don't know.
You really only see it on social media, you know?
I don't ever meet these women in real life.
Are they just trying to make people mad?
That's because they're at home.
I guess that's true.
Cleaning up, waiting for their man to get back.
That's former place.
Dude, that's, you know, that's a funny.
Okay, Friday we had a little, is this a weekend checker?
I'm sorry.
I don't know.
Sure.
We got a lot of time, Phil, here.
So we had a- Yeah, we want to lay out what we're going to do today.
You want to do that and then start weekend check?
I'll just tell you this real quick.
I had a little deal over at the house on Friday for Nora's friends,
which is interesting because she only wants to have her girlfriends over, female friends
from school, like a cookie decorating thing or something, which is weird because then it means
that my wife can only have like the girl's moms over, even though she's friends with a bunch
of the boys' moms, but they don't want to come over to the house, nor does it want them there,
whatever. But this is like ongoing when I get home. And, um, you know, I have like a separate
little office situation now, so I don't have to be in the mix. But I got home and I went into
the into the house to maybe like get water or something to go back out to my spot. And this is really
the only feeling as an adult I can recall that it feels like being a child. And it's when you
walk into a home of like eight kind of drunk moms and they're oh hey who's here what are you
got it's like they're judging you they're like oh they're now they're going to talk about what
probably i haven't come up for the last couple hours but now what's he do where's he been
oh he's got a whole place out there for himself oh that must be fun that's already like i heard them
kind of judging and like oh what's so where's yours is the little office down here i'm like what
the, I just remember that it felt like walking in past the cool table where the girls set
in high school, you know what I mean?
And they're all a little bit sauced and it's loud as hell because the girls are yelling
and it's like, I don't know, I felt nervous.
I was like, man, like when you have to go to the bathroom and like, I don't hope nobody knows
I'm in here at school, like hold your feet up type thing.
That's how I felt.
I'm a little wine and you know they're judging you.
on today's show though so we have 12 hours
we're just going to take your calls
yeah
I'm thinking that because
I did a lot of listening to Cowboys football yesterday
and then when the game's over
I'm listening to the fan
and they're doing the post game show
and it's just so
stereotypical
sports talk radio postgame show
it was awesome
yeah it was kind of
I was nostalgic for it like oh
this is done
I didn't ever really listen to the fan
when we're at the ticket
post game and stuff
I would listen to our show or you know whatever
and I don't now
I don't listen to that
but I was driving
because we were up here
and
we're gonna go
they have the eat their face guy
that you talk about
Oh, yeah, they have a few of them, but one of them, yeah, yeah.
It's like, you know, we're here, Broadest.
Oh, it's fun, isn't it?
So Brian Broadus is like everywhere on every cowboy's podcast.
Like, everybody's got, oh, Brian Broaddus, he's a guy he worked for the team.
He carries this aura about him, this glow.
And they introduce him as they're coming back from break as.
Oh, yeah.
And alongside here, Super Bowl winning scout Brian Broadus.
when have you ever heard that
anyone described as that
Scouts
Super Bowl winning
Athletic trainer
Super Bowl winning
clubhouse guys
To coach and quarterback
Right
Any player almost
You could say they were on a Super Bowl team
Yeah but
It's tough to say for
You know Carson Wentz
But
No the scout
Yeah I mean look
I've heard it so many times
That it doesn't
It doesn't even register with me.
But yes, he won a Super Bowl with the Packers.
But then let's go to the phones.
Let's hit the phones.
You got to hear what you say.
And it's just...
Was the first...
Go ahead.
First call.
First call was...
It is just time for Jerry to get a GM in here.
It's just not possible.
It was.
And I know this.
And then that spurred them into like 15 or 20 minutes of they just discussed that.
amongst themselves and broadest, kind of like, I don't know, man.
Both sides.
You get the continuity on one side?
You know, Detroit, you know, for years, they didn't make the NFC championship game.
They got football guy after football guys.
So you're saying that's the answer?
Doesn't always work that way either.
It was awesome.
You got to go right into a big picture.
I can't believe that they're really passionately doing it.
Yeah, macro take for sure.
And then if they win, you know, then it's, is this a new Jerry?
Is this a changing of the gar?
And it's why I hear you and that you were nostalgic for it.
And I would maybe like to do it once.
Doing it every week sucks, dude.
Oh, my God.
You feel like an actor.
You feel like an actor.
You know the script.
You know what the segments are going to be.
You know the calls because it's the same callers.
We give them, you know, for entertainment purposes, some level of preferential treatment.
Well, here comes a team.
Oh, Stephen Carrollton.
Yeah.
He's got to be pissed.
Steve always a great call.
And Steve's been saying that for a while.
And I don't fully disagree.
Steve on that point.
It's like, you just got to do it.
You just got to do it.
So on today's show, on the next 12 hours or 11 plus hours, we've got a couple of bits.
We have in studio all day long to play us back from, we're not really taking breaks.
We continue on.
Well, we have pre-recorded bits, though.
For months, the guys behind the scenes.
chiefly, I'd say T.C.
But I'm probably leaving out other people who are helping.
Yeah, pretty much T.C.
But he's pretty happy with that.
Have been sweating and producing vids and bits.
And we will air those throughout the day.
Probably every half, on the half hour.
I was thinking we should do traffic this morning.
Because I saw Chip Wagner.
Oh, yeah.
He's great out there doing some traffic.
He used to do it from the helicopter.
Oh, yeah.
I do, as part of my little news prep, I'll fly through the morning shows, you know.
And it is a lot of traffic.
Like, it's insane.
There's probably...
Yeah, and TV.
There's like $800,000 of salary on air at any given time at 722 telling you, like, the high five looks date.
I'd steer clear this morning.
And then you know what I do?
Wait, talk about the same script, though.
How do you put a twist on it?
At least with news, you're like, what's the angle?
And then I usually do this.
I look at my phone and I'm like, oh, yeah.
Oh, red.
I'll probably head on out.
That would be funny, though, if there was one, like, ambitious traffic person
that tried to make all of it, you know, political or woke or something.
What if we throw it to our...
I'm not to try to spice it up.
What if you throw it, though, to the 14-year-old girl on her phone?
He's just like chewing gum and like, oh, all right.
Yeah.
A lot of red.
Similar ETA.
What about the weather, though?
No, weather?
Hold on.
Yeah, that's, but hey, and I may be alone in this.
Should I get premium?
Over my dead ass body, are they making me pay for weather plus?
What's the high today?
What does it even get you?
Okay.
A more granular view.
I may have done the trial before.
What's wrong with you?
Really?
Yeah.
Was it worth it?
No.
Of course not.
But what about, okay, so during severe weather, don't you still turn on the TV?
Yeah.
I don't know why.
Well, I feel like your Dan Henry's or your Delcasses, they will tell you, they're going to try and tell you what's going on in five minutes.
They also might tell you, look at this little, see these three little circles here?
that's indicating right for a tornado be ready and that's in Keller and you're like in grapevine
you're like ooh what if that does come this way now you're all fired up and you're locked in it's like a game
no i get it but i have this thing on my phone where i can press play and it shows me exactly where the
weather's going to be i do love that weather uh the radar though oh bro i'm in there like like john
gruden just like back it off and slow down here's where the play develops so in our game day
Men's Health Studio today all day long.
Grady Spencer will be playing Christmas tunes, holiday tunes.
Other holiday tunes besides Christmas?
Because I know we want to welcome all and we have Kwanza and we have...
I thought we killed the whole...
Hanukkah.
We don't do that anymore?
Okay.
Well, I just don't know if there are any other actual songs that we would play for those
holidays to indicate that we do embrace all.
That's a good question.
We have time.
You learn some Kwanza.
I will.
Oh, you will.
And it's a largely a video show, so if you could sort of get into character.
Do you have any black paint?
Boy, he's just going to come on out there.
Yeah.
I thought we're just kind of dance around it.
Sorry.
Sorry.
This whole performance is dedicated to Greg Biffle, actually, today.
It is...
The whole show, he's right, the Biff Meister.
Once again, though.
It's our first holidays.
I totally forgot about it.
about it and then all of a sudden somebody reminds me about the the luka trade of of nascar
NASCAR NASCAR or is it F1 you know what I was thinking this when I saw the 8 millionth promo
of for the Brad Pitt F1 thing thrown in my face this weekend yeah I was thinking that I'm
really happy that I resisted and I never got into F1 I don't know what it is I don't care like
for a couple years ago there was a big oh you got to see the thing on Netflix bro
It was just, it's poker.
It's like, yeah, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not getting in because it's not going to sustain, and it didn't.
And here I am.
Well.
And everybody's like, oh, yeah, there's the guy.
Am I supposed to do Bob here where I'm like, it is like a billion dollar industry that's growing and it's everywhere?
But I'm not with you.
I don't find it any more interesting than golf or any of the other lame side shows.
Isn't it just Indy car or no?
Actually, don't, don't answer because I don't want to know.
Well, I will, I see, this is not even what I thought you were going to say, man.
I thought you were going to say.
Just watch the series and you're going to love it.
Yeah, and I did.
I watched the first, I watched one season of other.
Right.
Right.
Season one.
Here's a podcast.
Read this.
Podcast every week.
I thought you were going to say the eighth time you saw a promo for the Arlington Grand Prix
because that's coming up in March apparently.
Really?
Yeah.
Dude, I was watching the Fox pregame show yesterday.
and the Cowboys, mind you, eliminated from the playoffs.
But the hour-long Fox pregame show, 15 minutes of it is about the Cowboys.
Seven of it is, what do we do at D.C., and are they on the right track, and George Pickens?
And I'm like, looking at the slate of games today, I'm like, what are we?
There's so much else going on.
Like the Bears Packers game, there's so much.
But the other half of that segment was just riding around with Jerry in a helicopter
while he showed you where the race is going to be.
Oh, really?
And it appears to just be the Rangers parade race.
I was going to ask you that.
But with, like, way faster cars.
Because it's just like, I mean, I don't know.
I'm not trying to take a shot at Arlington,
but it looks like they're driving around the Walmart.
How dare you take a shot at Arlington?
Around the other stadiums that are the, you know,
the high school football stadium.
Like, through, it looks like, through a clown mouth, maybe.
but certainly by Cowboys Stadium
Oh yeah
That's kind of probably the main thing
As long as you drive by this stadium
It is 50 times during the
Dude I'm so dumb in my head
I was like are they going to like open a gate
And let them drive in through like a drag be great
Yeah I mean what is this
Mario cart
But it's coming dude
It's coming in March
What are we going to do
I mean you know what else is like
I think the city is going to generate
$8 billion of revenue for
You're going to rent out
out your house.
What are we going to do for the Olympics?
Are we leaving town?
Is there an Olympics?
The World Cup?
Oh, World Cup.
Whatever.
Say, what's the difference?
These guys locked in.
Is this Olympic year, too?
I don't know.
I don't care.
I'm looking at what we have on today's show if we want to promote anything.
We have lots of guests, lots of people who are tied to the show like the Brunigs.
Matt Brunig, I think will allow.
his wife on the show for the second time.
Nice.
Speaking of a trad wife, because he keeps her locked down pretty much.
She's very trat.
Yeah.
I think the opposite.
KT.
Has told us he's going to do a game show.
Yes.
That's the back half of the 12 hours.
I was about to say.
We're going to kick that at noon.
And hopefully we wrap it up by the time we hit the two.
The explanation of the rules will be done.
We'll join in progress for the next next.
game.
Oh, Andre Gerard will be in studio with us today.
Yeah.
Why?
Because he's affiliated with our friends at Howe Water, and they said,
Would you like to talk to Andre Girard?
And I was like, yeah.
Sure.
He was, I had to remind Dan, not like he didn't.
Dan has seen a lot of cowboy football.
And he was drafted in a bleak era in 2002, but Hunter Girard was an all pro.
like not a slap dick rotation pro bowl guy every year he was like one of the best in the league
is he in the band no but we will ask about free reign with mark colombo and big Leonard
davis okay and I'm just looking at you know what I'm not going to read down this whole list
we got stuff we got bits we got a lot of in studio guests we would like you to donate to
the north Texas food bank we would like you to subscribe to the dumzo
or perhaps
that gift
I had somebody
hit me up this morning
say they already
did a gift
the holidays are approaching
you can gift
a subscription
and that is on
dumbzone.com as well
just the link
on there on the
sub-a-thon page
on how to gift
a subscription
a quick link
oh and
this one thing
I will promote
for later
at a specific time
4 o'clock
which will be
interesting if
Grady Spencer is
still here
because
The Roast Twins will be in studio.
They are in town.
They have been watching Christmas shows.
They are ready to rate and review those Christmas shows.
And Grady Spencer was the first ever receiver of a Roast Twins review.
Yeah.
Just a review of his music.
This is the first I'm hearing of this, and I'm quite excited.
Yeah, so they will be in studio.
We weren't going to tell you ahead of time.
Sitting right next to you.
And I want to say one more thing about this beautiful studio and then we will go to a pre-recorded bit.
But I want to tell Blake, so Jake's mom is here doing, working probably about three or four hours yesterday, finishing up the studio.
The beautiful, she put up a tree, she put up the wreath.
She just, she had half the studio decorated and then came in and did the rest yesterday.
A bunch of fake presents.
I mean, it looks beautiful behind the two chairs.
over there.
My stepdad hung a bunch of this stuff on the wall.
That's a man.
Oh, yeah.
You should meet his stepdad.
I don't want to.
Okay, that guy has power tools and just, he bothers me.
It bothers me to be around him because he knows I'm.
Oh, for sure.
He can tell he knows.
Smells the beta on you.
Did he just look Dan up and down?
I mean, he knows.
He listens.
Yeah.
He's aware.
No, he's upset that you're associated with me at all.
but he gets it
just that's the way the world is these days
I guess
at least we got our guy in off it
you know he's that kind of he's like
but she says to me
and it's it's done
and I'm like oh it's beautiful
I can't believe what you've done
and this is so great
and she kind of looks at me
and she's so sincere
and she goes
she's wrapping up and leaving
she goes thank you for the opportunity
to allow me to do this.
Jake said this is what she does.
That we gave her the opportunity to decorate something else.
Give her a blank slate.
She was like, and she's like, all of these decorations,
they were in her garage just left over
because she's already decorated her house.
And she's like, yeah, I just had these left over
and still half my garage is full of, like she was complaining
that she has more decoration.
Yeah, no, there's a, there's a, this is all,
I told her we'll pay for any materials you had to pay for.
Like the Dumb Zone Inc will cover this.
But this, like, red velvet stuff you see on the wall, this fabric, this will end up in, like, Patrick Reed's house.
The, like, asshole golfer in Houston that has, like, that's a funny story because when people were, like, shitting on that guy, they found his house on Zillow.
And my mom had decorated, like, the whole thing.
Really?
And, oh, this is what she does.
But you have to keep in mind, my mom is decorating their house, not hers.
So I had to tell her not to take it personally when people saw the tens of thousands of dollars he had spent.
And people are looking at the house and they're like, this is dog shit.
This is the ugliest house I've ever seen in my life.
And I'm like, Mom, they're getting you on the internet, but the check cashed.
But this will end up in someone's house, you know.
They'll use all this.
No part of the Buffalo goes to waste.
All right
But she was super
I'm very proud of her
For being a part of this thing
The Dunza

Ones
Christmas
Got run over
By a reindeer
Walking on
From our house
Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa, we believe
All right, it's the sub-a-thon
Hour 1 is done. We have 11 to go here.
we have
Trey our elf
is working
let's just check real quick
on the Kualis cam
Can we make
Can you make Tray big
Let me see him
Yeah there he is
Working on
Oh okay he's kind of progressed
Quite a bit
In only 15 minutes or so
Trey is building a
Gingerbread House
I was trying to think what it's called
And he looks
to be doing great so far so is it uh it's it's it's marshmallow is the glue is that the idea
no it's some kind of icing thingy that you have oh okay you have to like mix it you have to mix it and
then let it kind of dry or something like you have to read the directions so what a beating
well because that's that's kind of what i was getting at is i feel like the way that i always
screwed this up at in my youth was doing it not like not timing it out properly you know what i
mean where like something dries before it's supposed to and then love to time it out yeah love to
sink it up sure that feels like a real concern here so go to dumbzone dot com you can go to our
little sub-athon link there and you can help out the north texas food bank there as well right now
we are going to do a weekend check what did we all do over the weekend i generally have some
modia or some music bed to put under that which we'll find at some point i already gave you a little bit
of mine so i'll go first and uh hop out of the way i have something um something big coming up boys
you to quote a great man and you're all going to be hearing a lot about it you shut up
i think for the first time in my life because see i love my wife just look at your bumper
sticker and i uh i recently became aware that this is not something to not like my wife about it's
something that all wives do because i was talking to our friend julie once and uh i was talking about
how we were going out of town for camp and i think i said something to her like but christin's going to be
gone for half the time and she goes oh that's good she won't guilt you as much and i go what and
she goes well yeah i mean if you're gone and she's not she's going to make you feel bad you're
bad. And her husband, Julie's, of course, traveled to a lot of great places on the road with
the Dallas Stars. And she's like, well, yeah, I would just give him more guilt depending on how bad
I wanted to be where he was. It's what we do. I'm like, well, why? What if you just didn't do
that? She's like, well, he gets to go do this. So I got to make him feel bad, basically, somehow.
That's a big part of my life, right? If I'm going to go do something, there's going to be a negative
consequence on the other end somehow some way and i feel that this is the first time in my life
that there is truly no guilt or expectation involved in the fact that my wife wants to take
my two kids to visit her family in louisiana for four or five days the 27 through the 31st
Wow.
First question, how do we insure it's five?
Yeah, right.
What do we got to do between now and then?
I planned some big event down there.
How come you don't have to go?
Well, she just, I think it kind of came out of nowhere.
They're driving, and she knows that there's just like a lot of stuff here that I would like to do and get done and catch up on.
And here's the thing that's the plan for 2026.
Honestly, that's what I was going to say.
day is like and there's things like uh he one is fast approaching donovan is like hey we should get
together i'm off me too bob i'm like we should get together you know and uh i actually
wanted of course cat peter welton yeah we're the three of us we're going to get together have a
breakfast club um but here's the problem is i like her i like her dad and i like they just bought
like uh an old house probably formerly a plantation uh like in the country in louisiana i like
seeing that family. There's three
20-something girls that
take care of the kids. I actually like
going. Is this guy going to complain
about this beautiful gift he has? I'm not going to complain.
I'm just going to tell you that it's
the one. I'm kind of like
It's too much
almost. Too much freedom.
But there is no. The cat on the porch that doesn't
know what to do. My father-in-law could
be the dice man
reincarnated and I wouldn't be going down
there. I'm staying here, boys. You're going to be
seeing a lot of me.
I can't wait.
I've already started planning, you know.
Pizza.
But just, you know, things you want to do around the house, right?
Don't high step too early.
That's a good point.
A little...
It's too early for her to be listening, so I don't think she'll hear this.
No, I love doing it.
No, a little kid sickness could really...
I know.
Throw a wrench in this.
I know.
Oh, yeah.
My bees are just leave Carter behind.
Yeah, you don't want that.
No.
I may be paying for help.
Because I'm mentally there, like, right now.
That's the problem.
Yeah.
when is it the 27th through the 31st oh it's so close so they'll get back and it'll be like oh we're back into fun time
leaving on a Saturday yeah all on a Saturday and it's a drive I'm missing out on it's like a nine hour drive
wait Merry Christmas yeah no my wife is flying to Cleveland for a few days
they don't want to let these two look at you too loose on the town over the holidays no less
powerful yeah so yeah we didn't have uh we had a we had a we had a relatively
chill weekend. We got one Christmas out
of the way. Solid.
Got it out of the way.
You know what I mean.
We were over, we were at her parents' house for like four or five
hours on Saturday, but
balls on. So you don't do house to house to
house? Not anymore. That's what we used to do.
We always did. I mean, as little kids.
You know, because I had, I always had
the, I had four, sets of grandparents. Yeah, we had
a lot of grandparents. And so we'll have
something Christmas Eve and something Christmas Day.
Because of all the dads.
Yeah.
Yeah, I had a lot of dads, a lot of grandparents.
But we were able to get one done there, and that was, you know, it's fine without incident.
Watch some ball.
Keep your mouth shut.
Have no opinions on Mom Donnie?
Or any of it, really.
I'm just here.
I just watch football.
I don't know.
I didn't do much this weekend, a lot of getting ready for this.
But my daughters are in town.
They both go to college, and so now they're in town.
And one of the first things we did, as I'm driving them around,
and we did a lot of shopping and stuff, you know, women be shopping.
But just talking to them, and I remember doing this when our dog Cornelius died.
You guys remember Cornelius, right?
Rust in power.
It was a very, that's a really tough thing with, you know, whatever they were at the time,
four years old and six years old, you know.
but now they're older and but it was a similar situation when we're just trying to put into perspective Greg Biffle and what yeah just what he meant to just the sport and entirety and the kind of man he was and I know that it's a lot but imagine if they weren't home and you were having to that's the thing you were having to deal with this information on different parts of the country you would want to would you not tell them
until they came back. That's the old question, right?
Why ruin their day?
They're living in a world where Greg Biffle's alive.
Why dispel them of that utopia?
Good call. I've always said you're a great dad.
Blake, you now know what it's like whenever Tom broke into the show to let him know
R.E.M. had broken up.
That's somehow funnier than all three looking at, I mean, I guess Bob maybe.
Bob wasn't there. It was just Dan and Donovan.
That's like a...
That's even worse.
And no one died.
They just broke up.
Yeah.
So they won't do another song.
Yeah, they were like, why now?
And Tom was like, well, I didn't want to wait until next segment.
And Donovan's like, you could have waited until a segment next week.
R-E-M.
Clayton, you got anything?
I know you're prepping for this week or for today as well.
Yeah, I'm going to leave Tray Cam up while I talk.
Excellent.
Excellent idea.
So we had a pretty busy weekend for.
show stuff so Friday night
we had the Logan Paul fight
oh you on that wall for us
I was hey I know where my place
is wrestling and
celebrities boxing and that's
you know that's a lane I'll stay in for you
boys did he get destroyed
he got his jaw broken
I just saw the flurry at the end there
yeah he Anthony Joshua is a real
boxer a real badass yeah of course he
got demolished yeah but he won't get there
he looks
he looks the part and he's beating some pro athletes
But this is the bit where the bit ends.
He actually fought a real boxer in his weight class.
Okay, but it's not like it was 12 seconds, so he didn't just get like Tyson, you know?
He could stand in there and fake it.
Everyone said it was actually more of a loss for Johnson because he didn't knock him out in the first two rounds.
And he even said that.
If I don't knock him out in the first two rounds, it's like a loss for me.
He destroyed his face.
You can't say he didn't win.
Let me say this, though, about Ohio's finest.
like they've done a lot more than I expected like for definitely for guys who are just in my mind like shithead grifters like they're legitimate entertainers both of them are good at what they do right I mean I know that they were like a pariah on society at one point but they could have just kicked their feet up and been assholes the wrestling people say the other one's good yeah I mean this guy's actually exposing his nuts like to a pro fight wrestling well good at like the bit you're an actor right
Like, he's a good entertainer.
I'm just saying they grew up into, like, real live entertainers,
which if you're looking for streamers who are able to do that,
like, they've done more than I expected when we were going off the suicide forest.
Our friend Justin was telling me that, you know, he's a medical community adjacent.
The jawbroken versus jaw broken in two places is apparently a big degree of difference.
Really?
Whenever you get that jaw, like he said rest of his life.
he's going to be aware it's going to affect him like it's called being a boxer they have a
tough time if you break that jaw in a second place simultaneously i'm pretty sure his wife is still
mean to him too logan paul well he made lottery money one of um uh like had a documentary that
i watched a little bit of the wife's like falling him around and stuff i'm like this guy's got
a hundred million dollars i watched the first episode of their HBO show baked and
And that was one of the best times I've ever had in my entire life.
It's on HBO.
Is that what it is?
Paul American.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just gets bossed around by the lady.
That show is incredible.
He just looks beaten.
Like all the time.
Like, damn, dude.
Relatable.
I saw Michael Irvin was there.
He had a big weekend.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
So it's funny because they do, since it's a Netflix event, they have, like, all the people that are on Netflix shows there.
So, like, Rory McElroy's there.
there, Burt Kreischer, Michael Irvin, doing Michael Irvin things.
Did they have some F-1 guys there?
I don't think.
No, no, no.
I was hoping they did.
Yeah, I saw.
I wasn't going to say it if they did, because you don't want to know.
I'm thinking of getting into it.
You don't want to know about F-1.
No, you don't.
I'm going to force you never to get into F-1.
I'm going to do that and then talk to my friends at pickleball about it.
Oh, my God.
And then Saturday, I just got two days worth of sleeps in because I know.
knew I was going to be busy on Sunday and today, so.
So you can force yourself to sleep longer.
It's like a bear.
Yeah, so I did a six hour and then two, three hours.
Or a Navy SEAL.
You can do that throughout the day.
Okay.
Yeah.
And, like, right now, I slept for three hours on Sunday.
Once we got done from here, went home, crashed out for three hours, and I've been up ever since.
you've been up since when yesterday
well I went home from here in about 5 o'clock
have you been up since midnight
I've been up since 8 p.m. Sunday
hell yeah
wow
this guy parties
no I don't I just
you know live life
this dude's used to work in like elections
you know where they're like
we don't know when it'll end we're important
when we thought this was a big deal to do a 12 hour thing
He's like, yeah, all right.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is like a knot.
This is just like just another little notch on the wall.
Okay, that's 12 of those I've done so far.
I asked him if I could get him an energy drink or something.
He said, no, I got my smelling salts.
Oh, well, let's rip some salts.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I had a bottle.
I meant to bring it.
It's energy drink, rip salts, and then rip salts every hour for the next six hours.
And then another energy drink.
Can we get that on cam at some point?
Salts as needed.
Make tray do it.
oh god he might sneeze and blow the house down he's got some progress going it looks like he's doing
very very well if we gave him till noon that's ridiculous he might be done by 830 yeah he now we do
have other challenges for him set up yeah so fear not um yeah had some prep for today
uh scattered around having both boys by myself which sucks it's great but it sucks
parenting basically
it all sucks but it's great
Saturday I had
Especially because you got a baby you're tugging out
Yeah that's the thing
I bottle every three hours
Got to hold him and stuff
I think you're talking
He hates holding his own kid
No one hates touching his kid more than Blake
Just a nuisance he's just always
On me
Yeah
Are you doing the skin on skin
Some people go to love
No that's why it's a problem
It's because he skipped it then
And now the kid doesn't want anything to do with them
The kid thinks he's, you know, a neighbor.
Right.
Kid wouldn't take the bottle from me on day one.
I wonder why.
You got to do the skin on skin.
You're going to have to do, you know how, like, what's that guy from CBS news that everybody's pissed about because he converted to Judaism?
He got circumcised at like 38.
Oh, my gosh.
You're going to have to go to therapy when you're like 60 with your kid and just sit there with your shirt off.
Yeah.
Rub your chest together to try to fix it.
Whatever.
So we had a listener birthday parties on Saturday.
Like I said, my month of December was booked.
I just, he says that so flippantly.
And I just, like, if we ever did get a new listener,
I feel like we should explain every time that Blake,
because his wife works on the weekends,
will just go to anyone who invites him's kid birthday party.
Yes.
And bring his kid.
My wife is a nurse, so she's gone from 6 a.m. until about 9 p.m.
So I have literally all day to kill with two kids.
And with Brooks, I don't know.
We just hit a run where I went to a couple kid birthday parties and thought,
oh, this is cool.
It's a couple hours that I don't have to sit here and stare at him.
He can have fun.
He's getting social interaction.
Sure.
And whatever else, you know, whatever benefits accompany that.
Free?
It's free.
Yeah, that's a big one.
So went to listeners house
And I show up
I'm like so where you know where's your little one
And they said that
Their kid was sick
So rather than move the invite
And find another weekend that works for all 30 people they invited
They just sent the kid away and had the party anyway
What?
Interesting
Wow
Too many schedules to move around
Do you feel like that's what you would have done?
I could I saw the logic
You've already paid the money
probably for whatever you're paying.
You're just going to lose that.
So it was a birthday party for a kid that wasn't there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never heard of that.
It sounds really weird, but this is very community focused.
Wouldn't the venue understand?
No, is that their house.
Yeah, the venue's just their house.
Cleaning lady came the day before.
You can't move that.
You pay for the nugget tray was $200.
Because I would think if I got the information that I didn't have to now go to a party,
I would not be upset.
And if you're the kid, knowing that my friend isn't going to be there.
This feels like torture.
No, the birthday boy.
He's in his bedroom and he can hear the party.
The worst part is they made him stand outside a glass window right there
just with his face pressed against it the entire time.
I had him in the dog crate outside.
I didn't stop my kid from having a good time.
Well, no.
To him, it's no different.
This is fascinating.
I wonder how old was this.
kid turning.
10.
So he's fully aware.
Wow, dude.
This feels like one of those experiments we were talking about like at my elementary or junior high where they're trying to teach you about, you know, exclusion or poverty or something.
So they sent the kid to the grandparents house.
So I could imagine the 10-year-old walking home on his birthday to the house that held a party for him that he wasn't at.
His toys are played with.
His drum set is all messed up.
that's wild
what's the
shout out to the parents
what's the range for you
like Brooks is three
any and all four four
okay
we went to an eight
was there anyone else
within two years
at the 10 year olds party
he found an older kid to play with
yeah
okay
so you're getting close there though
like you're I imagine
you're not going to any
quinceaneras
yeah yeah would you
if extend the
you're saying you're saying yes
it's up to them
whoever's inviting
yeah we'll go to your birthday
I would love to have Blake at a Kinsenera.
With Brooks.
Like, why'd you dress him like that?
He's a little mariachi.
We acclimate.
So then Sunday I picked up my other child, Steve Berline.
Yep.
On the way to the Cowboy game.
Yeah?
How's he doing?
He's doing great.
I was very disappointed in the torso-only picture.
Yeah, I covered up this week.
What the hell, man?
His moose knuckle.
What they want.
Yeah.
Yeah, the only thing I could think is maybe I'd just seen Melissa Stark on the field.
I don't know.
Was it you and Ted?
Yeah, it was our last game, the three of us for this season,
because Ted doesn't do the road games.
And so that was cool.
It was a good year one.
But before the game, Steve Berline has a really good relationship with Greg Roman,
the office of coordinator for the Chargers.
And he told me a little bit about his story,
which was awesome because, you know, we talk all the time about the nepotism in the NFL.
Greg Roman ain't it.
He played linebacker at a tiny college, and then Steve said whenever the Panthers started up,
he started cutting video and then was basically like a grad assistant for the Panthers
and was just really worked his way all the way up.
Where Steve starred?
Yeah, in Carolina.
And so he texted him, and Steve got to talk to Greg for a little bit before the game,
and then introduced us.
I don't know. It was cool.
That is cool.
Hear about all these guys.
It's Colin Kaepernick's O.C.
It is.
That is an amazing offensive mind.
I've probably read as many words on Greg Roman as any offensive coordinator in the NFL, right?
Yeah.
He's a big Vangio of offense.
So he's a short guy, said hello, looked him in the eye, said, hey, he said, nice mustache.
Made my day.
Oh, wow.
It's so good.
It's made my day.
Honestly, I'm not sure that there's a higher stamp of approval than an offensive line coaches.
Yeah.
Compliment in the end of that's great.
I felt like a million bucks.
Smash mouth run game says you got a good mustache.
That's it.
Yeah.
And so then on the way back, found out late development I was taking Steve Burline to the airport.
Oh, he doesn't tell you that.
Keep happening.
Really?
No, he showed up with his bag.
I said, so I guess we're going to the airport.
Oh, yeah.
Took him there.
And I'd remember.
Which is not like on your way home.
No, it's the other way.
Yeah.
The other way.
But we're here.
I get to turn in mileage.
It is what it is.
I remember that you had played his Laf
Laughs with Legends audio.
So I thought I'd play it for him.
Oh, wow.
You played Jake playing it?
Yeah.
So you played Jake's comments.
Yeah.
I don't remember what they were,
but I don't think it was complimentary.
He had it, and obviously,
I couldn't record and play the podcast at the same time,
so that's probably an error.
That's a tragedy.
That's probably my bad.
But you kind of said it was like racially slanted.
He was one of the few white people in the room.
He began his set with Let the White Man Speak.
Yeah.
And he just really didn't see a problem with that.
Well, yeah.
So I don't think really the facts are not up for debate.
We have the audio.
He probably just felt like a lot of people do, like they killed it.
And I was in the room.
And he didn't.
But that's fine.
I've been there.
I got a lot of, uh, all right, hold on.
and I would have to pause and he's like
Yeah
So here's the thing with stand-up
You know
The guy is a stand-up comedian
So he's playing the race card
Just to make people laugh
It wasn't like a big deal
And he thought he thought
That's what we're doing too
We're in the metaverse now
And I know
And I had to explain
We're doing the bit too
But he did enjoy the audio
In reliving that
I've never in week one
You guys have come so far
What do you mean?
The two of you
Would you have played that
Oh I know
I had to feel him out
Yeah
best friends got through the election yeah are you going to send him a merry christmas tweet
you're going to see him on christmas you're going to see him on christmas oh yeah yeah i'll be
with them on christmas where are you guys going where's that game where people go to be
see and see or see and be seen oh wow the heart of democracy yeah they um Saturday right
or Thursday Thursday it's on it's a Christmas and noon game don't they have a bunch of crappy
games now they're so bad Washington and New York yeah teams are that aren't
in the playoff, like Kansas City?
Yeah, they're playing the Broncos and then Ravens Packers?
Is that?
No, that's Saturday.
Oh, yeah.
It's another team that got knocked out, though.
Yeah, have you seen the quarterback matchups for that day?
No.
Why is Lamar done?
He got hurt.
Okay, go ahead.
Didn't finish the game.
What are the quarterback matchups?
And Mariotta got hurt?
This was it DAC versus their third string?
Did he know?
I was referring to Lamar Jackson got hurt.
And then KC's on their third string.
The Packers, you know, the Packers are going to be down to Clayton Tune possibly.
It's, yeah, horrible quarterback play on Christmas.
It's Lions Vikings.
So the Lions just got eliminated.
And the Vikings.
Max Rosmer.
So you have five of the six teams playing on Thanksgiving eliminated.
Yes.
Yeah.
Lions, Chiefs.
Vikings.
What other teams that we definitely have in the playoffs?
Well, the commanders were, you know, we're a playoff team.
Yeah.
Just start of the season, that's an amazing slight.
Yeah.
We thought the commanders, I thought Washington and Minnesota would each take a slide from where they were,
but not necessarily totally out of the playoffs.
You're right, not 4 and 11.
But apparently we're staying at a hotel right across the street from the White House.
It's kind of a Christmas treat.
I don't know.
They said it was a big old.
That is cool.
I've always heard you stay in poor hotels out.
That's what they said.
I stayed very far away.
It was a nice hotel.
but it's very that's right it's in northern
Virginia it's on a line
so you could get in but yeah that's that's great news
my good friend bobby belt said they used to stay at like
the University of Maryland hotel or something
but yeah this is a huge deal
so
it's the worst stadium in the NFL
oh yeah it's bad I know
and then I have a gift for each of you
look at this guy
for for Christmas obviously
hmm
is it some renvoke for my moderate to severe
black of the rises
That's my rheumatologist about that
All right
We got a gift bag here
The garment of clothing in here
It would appear
I got a set of silverware
Dan is hard to buy for
And complained about his forks and spoons go missing
So there's a backup set for you
That's great
I love this because I'll keep this in my bag
Honestly that should
Okay that's weird
I just like to have my own silverware wherever I am
I think you should leave sketch
A set of silverware for my bag.
I don't want this for my house.
I think that should be on the list with socks.
Like, you should just get one of those every year or underwear.
Yeah, that's a great point.
Squared away.
I'm excited about Jakes.
Oh, wow.
This is incredible.
Okay.
So for a long time, I've been really taken by the names that they used on the back of the NBA jerseys during the bubble.
There were things like Black Lives Matter, I Can't Breathe, racial equality.
And then some guys really shot their shot.
And I can't remember who this is specifically.
Anthony Tolliver.
Anthony Tolliver of the Memphis Grizzlies just had one that said group economics.
Oh, yeah.
On the back of it.
Really?
So that's me, 44, group economics.
That's amazing, dude.
That's why Hillary lost.
It really is.
Yeah.
When you were looking at those jerseys, you knew right then.
God, some of them are so funny, but that one takes the cake.
He passes it over to group economics, and we have lost another 20 points in Ohio.
Well, thanks, Blake.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas, guys.
Let's check in with Trey Cam, brought to us by Qualis throughout the day.
It's not looking bad.
Can Trey hear us and talk to us?
Do we have a mic?
there? No, I think he can't hear us, so can you give a thumbs up if you can hear us.
Yeah, so he can hear us. He just can't talk to his rule right now. Oh, there you go.
Hey, hello, hello. How's it going there? Did you have to like mix something in the bowl?
No, I didn't have to mix anything. Well, mixing in the bowl for like coloring, but no mixing to
like pardon anything. It was just all in this. Okay, are you watching, are you like reading the
directions? This is easy, you say? I'm reading all the directions, yeah. Okay. You're going to be
done by nine? Oh, yeah. We'll be done.
Hopefully.
Wow, maybe Trey's confident.
What if Trey turned into a competent, competent individual?
Yeah, maybe it was just, you know, the fact that we met him in an industry where you have to hear and he can't.
Right.
So he made you great at like everything else.
Everything except the thing he wanted to do.
So, like, yeah, we may learn just boundless talent.
Yeah.
He could be a construction guy.
What do you call a construction guy?
What was J.C.?
A handi-man?
A carpenter?
Jesus Christ?
A carpenter?
What do you call, J.C.?
Jesus Christ?
Yeah, that's right, Jay.
I call him a carpenter.
The dunza.
God is gone.
The earth receiver key
that every heart prepare him room.
Heaven and nature sing.
In heaven and nature sing.
In heaven, heaven, heaven, nature sing.
is what the internet says is it heaven in nature i always thought it was heaven and angels
no nature is it nature internet man you can learn so much yeah i uh i would bet that
you know they used to do this game on like uh probably kimmel or leno or something just
finish the lyric the ones that everybody has wrong yeah wrapped up in a douche that's an old
morning show there you go classic rock i would bet that i would get sub 50% of christmas lyrics right
absolutely there's a bunch of us
them that I'm just rolling with.
Yeah.
That have to be wrong.
Thanks to Grady Spencer for being in here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have anything you want to promote?
Yeah.
I'm going on tour.
A pretty big one.
At the end of January and February,
I should have pulled the dates up,
but it's going to be me and my friend Will Overman.
And we're going to be hitting all,
like, Boston, Manhattan, New York,
Philadelphia, Cleveland,
the home of rock and roll that's right we're going to rock acoustically um so it's just you it's just
me and uh him we're going to be playing songs telling stories and then yeah we're going to be all
in the midway i mean midwest new england a lot of places i've never been to before but you can go
to grady spencer dot com slash shows um my cue one is heavily leveraging this tour so please
if you live in those areas come see us and uh if you live in those areas come see us and uh if
If you mentioned DumbZone, I'll give you some free merch.
Hey, no.
I don't know what it'll be, but it would be something great.
Brandon's going to join us in a few minutes, Ben and Aubrey.
Whenever we're alerted that Brandon Aubrey's here, I become banana guy.
You guys know I'm Apple Guy.
Mm-hmm.
I won't eat my apple near you.
You might not know I still eat apples, but I won't eat them in front of you anymore.
Yeah, no, that's a win for 2025.
five, probably, I guess.
And I might not eat bananas in front of you because I don't want to excite you too much.
There was a problem.
But I did want to show you.
I'll buy three bananas at a time these days, not just one.
And it's a tough thing to do because you don't know.
You can't buy them too green because then you can't eat them.
But if you buy them kind of yellow, they'll all be black in a couple days because no one else in my house eats bananas.
But I did just want to show you a good omen for today.
for the new year is that I bought three bananas yesterday and rang them up and can you see that
on there or no can you see the price tag can we see the exact amount it turns it was 69 cents
probably guess yeah 69 cents for the three bananas so it's very say that the economy's out of
control that's a fine deal you think yeah 23 cents a banana sure that's quick math right
there actually it's not quick I put it into the computer last night
and prepped.
I typed into Chat Deep GPT.
What would one banana cost
if three of them cost 69 cents?
We don't have Brandon yet, right?
And Chat GPT said, well, each, I mean,
one might be 21 cents.
It depends on the weight.
Shut up.
They just never give you a straight answer.
I'm saying that.
The Gary Busey video, Clayton,
I don't know if you guys,
we never really talked about this,
but at one point we had Gary Busey on
the hook. He was going to be on the dumb zone. I could call him right now. Because Dan had like a 20-minute
phone call with Gary Busey. I have his cell. We were trying to get him on. And this is a weird job.
Like he wanted money, but he also wanted to just talk, talk. So he's just on the phone with Dan,
just telling him about like, listen, I'm a big damn deal. I was probably on with him for like 45 minutes.
Okay. Yeah. So it's like one of the weirdest things that he's willing to do that. He wouldn't come on for money.
And he said that he needs to get paid.
And I was like, I don't know.
I kind of hinted we might be able to do a thousand, like, but that would stretch it thin.
Yeah, we did.
And he's like, I'm Gary Busey.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh, okay.
What did he want, five?
I don't know.
I never got a straight answer from, like, but I just knew, well, if he's saying no to a thousand
and that's silly for him, well, then we, why are we still talking?
He is Joshua, Mr. Joshua.
Yeah.
And I don't know, you know, I don't know what his mental state is.
days obviously he's a tweet's a lot about politics it didn't sound great he uh he threw yeah you talk
to him check and see how you think he's doing now with this video he posted this week leading up
to the holiday oh my goodness and i have got a great christ's present for you listen to this
that's what a goose sounds like where they're flying they let you know they're up there
You get to bunch of your geese together.
They're hawking in the air.
There you go.
That's Gary Busey from the front seat of a pickup truck out of some property.
That's the most exciting thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, that's a special Christmas message.
Who let him do that?
From Gary Busey.
Because we have a listener that he hangs out with Gary Bucy every week at a cigar bar
in L.A. Did we say this
or no? No, I don't think we said that part, no.
Okay. Yeah.
And so he sees, or his uncle
or something sees him and got his number
through that and.
Well, he's not
on the show today, but this guy is.
Oh, really?
Our man is kicking
hauling bombs with his foot down on the gas.
Homie, kick it off the turf.
Papa kick it off the grass.
Community mechanical make cold.
Yeah, blue baby, baby.
That's the Brandon Aubrey Show
That's right
Special day and time
Brought to you by
Community Mechanical or CommunityDFW.com
It is our good friend
NFL all pro kicker Brandon Aubrey
and Brandon gets to for the first time
Meet Grady
the author of his theme song
Hello Brandon
Oh yeah
is the man who made the theme song contest i did huge fan brandon
we're uh we're not getting brandon audio what about now boom yay we'll do it again
see that software engineer background that's exactly what to do yeah troubleship open it
how are you guys doing i'm excited uh great you did a fantastic job um i love that song dude thank you
man it was an honor and i'm a big fan so thank you for uh letting be a part of it
Yeah, appreciate it.
Are you at home?
I am not.
I am in a different office at the star.
So this is our mental strength performance coach, his office.
He's not here today.
So I snuck in.
Hopefully doesn't show up a little bit late and kick me out.
Well, you guys are there early the day after.
Oh, I guess you got a game Thursday.
Short week.
Yep, short week.
So what's, yeah, what's the schedule like this week then?
Like, when did you get home yesterday?
Yesterday it was nice.
the game was over by three early early in the three o'clock hour so probably home around five after
going up the laundry room waiting out traffic having a meal then just relaxed um Colton was a bit
fussy since he missed nap time so got him dinner and tried to get him down and then turned on
a little bit of the Ravens Patriots game probably saw like 10 plays before I fell asleep so
a lot easier falling asleep after a boring game like that then after a game where you missed two
field goals. So I'm well-rested today. And then when do you wake up on a Monday like this?
Yes, I got the schedule right in front of me where special teams meeting at 12. We have three
optional, well, you have to go to one, but three options for a lift, nine, ten, or elevens. I'm
going to sneak into the 11 o'clock lift and get done right before the special teams meeting,
then go from there. Do you wake up automatically or do you have to set an alarm? Could you sleep forever?
Yeah, I'll set an alarm.
I usually wake up like maybe 35 to 40 seconds before the alarm goes off.
But Colton is my alarm in days like today because we didn't have to be in here.
I got in here a little bit early for you guys.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, oh, we want to announce this.
Brandon is a children's author, of course, children's book author.
I mean, he did also author a child.
Yeah, one.
He did.
Co-author.
He co-authored a child.
I did my part.
But he has written a children's book.
What's it called again?
One dream in front of the other.
And he has ten of those books.
He is giving to us to give away to you, to people tuning into the show.
And maybe I think Blake said he wants to do it like to people watching the YouTube chat
or in the YouTube chat throughout today.
So I think every hour starts.
Starting this hour, we will give away one of the Brandon Aubrey books.
And these are autographed by Brandon Aubrey himself.
He doesn't just have a stamp thing.
He does it himself.
If you give me the names of the winners, I'll put their names, make it out to them as well.
Very cool.
All right.
Give us a code word to give to the people in the chat.
What do you mean?
A code word.
Because the first person who types the code word each hour will be the winner.
All right.
Let's go with Gloryhole.
Whoa.
Wonderful.
Glory hole in the chat.
Cowboy specific.
We'll take it.
So yeah.
So whoever does that right now, we'll get that book.
And yeah, just in time for Christmas.
Okay, so this is kind of a bummer question, but you've played on a billion teams,
been on a bunch of different locker rooms.
How different is the vibe?
when you know there's, you know, an X next to the name or whatever, the eliminated type thing.
Can you feel the energy?
Like, how hard is it to not let that creep in?
Just is work different?
Yeah, you can definitely feel it.
No one wants to be in the position we're in.
But as professionals and just people who love playing the game, we're still getting paid a lot of money to play a game.
You've got to put that into perspective and go play a game.
So the business side of it is at the end of the year, contracts are up.
Even if they're not up, guys are all playing for jobs and putting as much good stuff on film as possible.
So if we're not here, we at least have a job somewhere in the league.
But yeah, you want to find a way to win games.
I know Dan hates momentum and definitely doesn't think it probably even carries over from play to play,
let alone season to season,
but you want to find a way to win football games
and prove to yourself that,
and as a franchise,
that we know how to win football games.
So that's something we want to do.
You don't want to develop a culture of losing
and not caring.
And if you go into two games in a row that we have left
and put a lack of energy on the field
and just show your teammates that you don't care,
that's going to look really bad
come decision time in the off season.
It's something that's very obvious when you watch it on film.
So I don't think we've ever had a problem with that here.
I know last year we were in a similar situation,
and we came out and beat Dan's favorite team, the Bucks.
So hopefully we can find a way to get the last two wins.
And, you know, you don't want to finish with consecutive losses.
So just finding a way to put a little bow on the season,
even though it didn't go the way we wanted to is what we're looking to do.
my favorite team is the Cowboys,
led by Brandon Aubrey, of course,
or whatever team Brandon Aubrey's on
is going to be my favorite team.
But yeah, Baker's having a tough time these days, isn't he?
Yeah.
It's the experience, you know?
I mean, not to just, like, get into football talk with Brandon,
but the difference between the best and the guy,
players like Baker can look like the best any week.
it's just there's only a handful of guys
who are going to do that every week and all season
and with guys like Baker you're going to get
the downside of it every now and then right
there's a reason he's not at the top of the league
there's only a few guys who are same thing with kickers right
I mean there's guys who can make crazy kicks
but can they make them consistently
and it really just comes down to
what time of the year your quarterback is having
which part of his season
you know for that very well
Very well said.
Very well said.
There's a lot of good players playing football on both sides of the ball on every game.
So it's really hard to predict.
I know you guys try to week in, week out.
It's really tough with how many good players are out here.
The old dumb zone is having a good little weekend.
Yeah?
What's the updated standings?
I think we might have, we might be like four or five games up now.
Well, let me tell you what happened.
We were five games back.
Okay.
So in our league, to.
keep things straight.
If there's a push, you count it as a win.
You know, with the casino, I guess you just get your money back, but not win anything.
Well, we count a push as a win.
And the Seahawks were favored by one Thursday night.
So we had a very, very interesting Thursday night.
Yeah, we, Dan and Blake both triple, triple play again.
The two of them did.
And then, you know, obviously we didn't know.
Are they, are the Seahawks going to play for a tie?
Are they going for the win?
You know, we didn't talk about that night
is there might have been like some playoff implications there.
No, yeah, you can't play for a tie
because the Rams have already beat them.
If they tie that game,
then they don't have the tiebreaker for playoffs,
so they're going to be the wild card.
Yeah.
So I was giving Mike McDonald, it was Mike McDonald?
Yeah.
Too much credit like saying, boy, that was pretty ballsy.
Yeah, a tie's a loss for them.
A tie is not good.
So we were covered in that they had to go for it.
But they did get it.
And then, you know, I took Miami over the weekend.
you have any thoughts on the
Miami Hurricanes? Excuse me, Miami Hurricanes
on the college football
and everybody's very mad that these
other schools got in. I mean, I guess you're Notre Dame
guys. You're going to be. Yeah, you should be mad.
I don't, I personally, I like seeing
Tulane out there. But Notre Dame would have
put up a better fight? I watched
I watched a lot of Notre Dame
this year. It's probably the only college football I watched
and then watching the playoffs. I feel
like Notre Dame probably
would have won every single one of those games.
But they're not there because
they didn't win games early in the season.
They obviously don't deserve to be in there over A&M in Miami, so that's not an argument.
The one I would say is Alabama, and then, yeah, the two teams, they got the auto bids that, what were JMU and Tulane.
Tulane.
Yeah.
Obviously, they're not better than Notre Dame, but they put in a system that put those teams in, so you can't argue over that.
And then the only one is Alabama, and you're kind of, I don't know, I don't know, you can make an argument both ways, but three lost team, five.
SEC teams in there, whatever you want to say.
I can see arguments for both sides.
I honestly prefer to see Notre Dame in there, but biased.
So they missed an opportunity early in the season.
So they can only blame themselves.
They left it up to committees.
It's like a kicker putting the ball over the uprights.
He left it up to the refs.
They could call it either way.
He can't be mad with either decision.
I just think it's weird that Miami didn't win their conference.
and they didn't have to play in a championship game,
but then that's better for them.
Yeah, that part of it, I hate.
The championship game part of it is broken.
But obviously they prove they should be there.
But, dude, watching that game, just, you know, being friendly with Brandon,
their kicker was in a, it was in hell.
He, I mean, he missed three field goals.
It was a three three game.
So you're like, dude, you are the difference today.
And then ended up, you know, not needing him to make another one.
But I just, as I'm watching that, I'm like,
that guy's got a family yeah the kicking game is family it's tough in uh in college the
game isn't as polished as it is in the NFL the balls aren't is as good um you know the
hashers are wider uh it's just the your holders might not be taking it as seriously it's not
their livelihood um so there's a lot of variables um yeah just it's tough sure i think kicking in the
NFL is the easiest kicking you can do in football just because your operation is so
professional. The hashes match the uprights. I mean, it's, it's perfect. I got a perfect gig here
with Brian and Trent. And this year, we've been blocking perfectly. Hopefully we can keep
that up for the last two weeks. Maybe get that record.
Washington and New York might be tough. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not that conducive of an environment.
Do you think about that at all?
Like, I want to set the NFL record someday.
No, I want to just make my kicks.
And sometimes I go on for those records, you're less likely to make them.
So if they send me out there, I'm happy to go attempt it.
But it's not something you want to force.
It's got to be the right situation.
We want to win the game first, make our kicks second.
And usually when I make my kicks, it helps us win the game.
So, and when I miss, especially from that far, you're really setting up the other team.
So it's got to be into half, really, end of game.
And the end of games is only going to be when you're probably trailing by one or two or three,
just because you're probably not hitting that as a tie game unless it's a little bit closer.
You probably, because you don't want to be short and then have them return it.
I thought there was a chance mid-fourth yesterday, down 10.
you guys were kind of faced with the same situation you were the week before with more time right like do we go field goal or touchdown here by the way that who did that over the weekend and it worked because they got the onside kick uh yeah the bears the bears that's right they took the field goal then everything worked out for them um but yeah you guys were around midfield there and then i think there may have been a full start yeah it would be 67 um probably try that um a little bit fourth and five so your odds
for making the first down are probably slightly lower than the field goal.
Maybe slight, I don't know, there's arguments both ways,
but then the false start pushes it back to 72.
And then I think the odds flip pretty heavily for,
even though it's fourth and 10, 72 yards.
Right.
It's a long way for a field goal.
Yeah.
Who picks your music at practice?
That would be Daniel Quixonez.
even the special teamers when you're out there kicking that that is uh completely decided by us
okay just sounded like i was listening to the edge back in the day uh when you were out there
kicking yeah that's a throwback i missed the edge i used to go to edge fast oh yeah went there twice
that was what happened to the edge uh radio you know it had a good run but i think it eventually
you know 94 5 or 1021 uh they eventually just flipped formats do you remember who you saw any of the
names at Edgefest?
Yeah.
One, like the most memorable was Blue October.
We were listening to them.
He was about to start into the ocean or something like that.
And then it started pouring rain.
And he was crying, sobbing because, you know, the song has something about rain in it.
And it was awesome.
That's cool.
There's a Amberlin, that one hit wonder that I was, I loved, saw them.
A couple of, yeah, I could probably try and think on.
hard and remember a few but those were the two that really stuck out i guess i should explain i was in
there at the star setting up for the xbox bowl which i didn't know if you got to meet master chief or not
but that was a big deal for me um and yeah i just got to watch you guys practice for a little bit
and you're just listening to old old rock music and then what's the game are we throwing left
handed trying to hit the uprights with the football oh yeah we did try that um so every
Friday we have a competition
that's decided by the previous week's winner
that wasn't it but banger was
trying to figure out if that would be a good competition
we didn't go with that we went with put putt instead
this week have you always had music
because I remember shoddy coming in it was like hey
shoddy's fun he's going to have music at practice
have you guys always been in there
yeah in the star in the in the Ford Center
which is the indoor field
And our specialists, the three of us, are on our own.
So we blast music, usually, like Blake said, 90s rock or maybe sometimes, if we're
feeling it a little bit, Trent will put on Pink Pony Club radio.
Oh, yeah.
But we've always had music.
We don't really go out onto the field.
And, yeah, Shottie's playing music the whole time.
I think McCarthy would do warm up music and then pump in the crowd noise for, if we're
at home for the defense and if we're on the road for the offense.
Are you considering moving over to that side of town?
Because when you're telling us that those guys had to come over to your house, they were all
beaten by it.
So you must be beaten by it every day, having to go through all that traffic to get back
to Tarrant County.
Yeah, I'm used to it.
I love where we live.
So I think about it every once in a while.
But, no, we love what we're at.
We're going to stick around in the area.
It's just, we have our roots dug in pretty deep.
We've got a lot of friends, neighbors, and whatnot that we love.
So we're going to stick around.
Don't know if you have any sort of, like, do you get a plus or minus on every play?
How do they grade?
How do you grade or your coach grade?
Yeah, we get, we do get a plus minus, but I don't really, I don't look at it.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know for, I mean, you know.
Coordinator turns it into the head coach and they talk about it on,
the personnel meeting every week it it's minus if I miss a field goal it's plus if I make it
kickoffs it's usually plus unless I if I had a touchback um there'd be a minus we weren't
trying to do that if it's not a great if it's not if it's we're kicking left and I hit like
the 10 yard line and it's right down the middle that'd be a minus but for the most part it's either
a neutral or a plus okay yeah so I wasn't sure like I mean I didn't play past high school
but so I'd never also kicked.
I don't know how they would grade plus or minus for kickers.
The point I'm trying to get at is I feel like yesterday might have been your best kickoff day.
There were three or four that were like, dude, it was perfect.
Like that dude didn't want anything to do with the ball by the time it got there.
He's bumbling it.
And I didn't know if you get like a, you know, plus plus.
Yeah, I get a nice pat in the back.
But we've been calling left, right, and he just kind of lets me go where I want with it.
And then this week, he goes, I'd really like red line goal line.
So instead of being super conservative with it, I was pushing the boundaries because then
if I hit it like too deep, they have the ability to take a knee.
So I've been aiming for the five.
This week, we're aiming for goal line.
So and the red line, for those who don't know, if you look at the numbers, you just go
outside the numbers, halfway between the numbers and the touchline, the red line.
There's a red line in practice.
That's what we call it that.
say that again the numbers and the touchline like the numbers in the sideline
yeah touchline is actually a defined version of coffin corner but giving a little more room over
to the numbers i see yeah but and you i mean it's funny that this was a different week because
there wasn't a whole lot i was like real fired up to go back and watch from yesterday but i'm like
you know you can pull up the kicks and they're all like they're all landing right there it was a great
day what's your opinion more aggressive with the location what's your opinion of rowdy
Opinion of Rowdy
He's a fantastic mascot
He does a great job
Even gave up his zeros for
For Oversone
That's true
I just
Team player
You know again I noticed that you're not
In the starting lineup
Handshake line
I understand why
And I try to leave you alone
Before the game
Because I know you're trying to get
Mentally prepared and ready
And I wish
Rowdy would also take that stance
Because I don't think Rowdy
Neatheel needs to be
In the starting lineup Handshake line
especially when he's out there in a Santa hat.
I just kind of, I don't know.
It just felt weird.
And like the Seahawks mascot was in there, game-winning scrum.
I just think mascots need to take a step back.
That might be a little much being the game-winning scrum.
That's insane.
It's definitely in the job description being out there hyping up players before kickoff.
Okay.
He's hitting it on the nose there.
The Seahawks guy, he's stepping over the boundary.
Do people generally act like?
Blake and I don't want to bother you or do they kind of think, oh, he's the kicker. I'll just go over and
talk to him. You get about like 75, 25 or 75s on Blake's side, 25, just don't quite get it.
And they come and try and bother me. But we do a good job, keeping them away. We've got like three security
guards for the specialists, which really love their job. They secure the net pretty well. I'd say
teammates it's more like 95 5 where 95% of them just let me live in my own world and then
5% think we got a big kick coming up I better go make sure the kicker's aware of it
that's hilarious yeah I guess uh as I'm looking at the standings and as a guy trying to pick
games who can't um it's really unbelievable you know that Kansas city's not in the playoffs
Detroit's not going to be in a playoffs.
Baltimore.
The Bears are winning that division.
You know, I mean, who could have seen Baker falling like, you know, they have?
I mean, nobody.
We all expected an 18 and 0 or 17 and 0 season out of them.
Well, I mean, I think most people looked at the NFC, at least, and thought pretty wide open, right?
Which from a fan, you know, if you're a disappointed, you know, fan or whatever, and that's kind of the case.
You went into the year thinking, all right, well, at least in the AFC, I know there are three or four.
powerhouse teams, quarterback continuity.
You can just in pen, write them into the...
Yeah, the NFC.
And you did.
You got Super Bowl champs, but they've got their problems and then everybody else kind of...
But I'm saying this, just to say, if you're the Cowboys, you've got to feel like, yeah,
why not us next year?
Or at least, you know, you can get back to it pretty easily.
Yeah, there's always a chance.
The nature of the league with how much turnover there is, it's hard to keep a good team together,
just because contracts come up and players.
get more expensive when they perform well.
So, yeah, it's hard to keep a good team going,
but the good franchises find a way,
and the Cowboys historically have been a good team,
especially in the regular season.
You need to find a way to get more postseason success,
which has been paramount for us since I've been here
and haven't got it done just yet.
So I think the front office does a fantastic job bringing in players
through the draft, and we've been a competitive team.
I know we're sitting here eliminated from the playoffs with two weeks to go,
but we've been close in most of our games.
We got a brand new head coach, and we're trying to figure out ways to win games,
and we haven't done just enough yet, but I feel like with the experience we've got here
and with the number of players that are on longer contracts,
then I think there's a reason to believe that we'll find a way to improve on what we did this year.
And with just a few more wins, we're sitting right there in the playoff picture.
So I feel confident that we'll be in a better spot this time next year.
I'd like to see one other player on a longer contract.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Yeah, no, I don't have to look.
We'll rip the entire streaming schedule up and do, was it,
Where did bones in the Titans I knew it was out there somewhere
What's the the big gift for the for the boy? Do you know for Colton? Yeah
I have no idea see I didn't know if you were involved in this like at all because I do know you'll make like target runs in the off season, but I figure during the season
Yeah, we're probably pretty
He's still we're still kind of like he's not super aware of the holiday season. He does point at Christmas trees and say
Kipmus. That's about as much as he grasps, I think. He loves touching ornaments.
Like a year and a half? Christmas lights. A year, almost a half. Okay. Like probably 16 months.
Okay. But we got him a few like utility things and a couple toys, but nothing like massive.
We got him this standing tower where he can watch us in the kitchen. So he's not just running around like a madman in the kitchen.
You can watch his cook, you can watch us like chopped vegetables and whatnot, because as things stand, it's kind of, if you're alone in the house and you're trying to prepare him some food or yourself some food, it's chaos.
He runs around in the spice rack, throws all the spices around, and he'll open the drawers that aren't childproof because most of them are childproof and pull out whatever's in them.
But, yeah, I think that'll be huge for us.
That'll be our Christmas gift and we'll just wrap it up and let him open it up.
And then that's the one I'm most excited about.
I don't know.
We have some smaller toys that you can be excited about.
You could offer him his own copy of one dream in front of the other.
Oh, what's your name, kid?
Oh, you should see his copy.
He has ripped pages out.
He's chewed up the corners.
He gets a lot of use out of it, but he'll still walk over with the book and say,
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da because he recognizes my face in there.
The page he ripped out, surprisingly enough, was the one.
with his face and the thank you to him like in it so at least he just didn't want to see his own
face on the book he's humble oh he's like his dad he's like get this away from me modest yeah yeah
all right man well uh we know you got to go i'm looking at this 08 lineup corn and 311 were there
but i don't take you as much uh corn actually yeah the freak on a leash oh yeah still
with that quite a bit um yeah back back in that time i was a lot wilder a lot crazier had a little
uh i had the long hair streak just it was i loved every every band that was at edge fest so let's
put it that sure yeah dude can we get a picture of that long hair brandon yeah i'll dig it up
jammed out to pop a roach yeah papa roach was incredible yeah
All right, man, well, good times.
Thanks for letting us give these books away, and we'll talk soon.
Have a good Christmas, man.
Hey, the great Brandon Aubrey.
There goes the great Brandon Aubrey.
C&C.
Yeah, that's a flex.
That's my friend.
That's right.
You guys get to spend Christmas together.
I know.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, by the way, hey, real quick, real quick.
If you have to mount any TVs, call me.
We'll get it taken care of, right?
There you goes.
Brandon Aubrey.
He doesn't want to talk about that.
Of course not.
That's why you're waiting at the end.
And yeah, if you're in our chat, the book One Dream in Front of the Other, could be yours.
We gave away one this hour, but we'll give away one every hour throughout the day.
With a code word.
With a code word?
Is there a different code word every hour?
What are we doing?
No, we'll just call for it.
Blake will just call for it.
You got to remember it.
So pay attention to the show.
Well, no, I think you want to reward people who tune in later, too.
No?
Or you don't?
You just want to reward someone who heard us say it at 9 a.m.
I want to reward the person that's been here the whole way.
We shouldn't fight like this in front of Jake.
Yeah.
He gets so upset.
Henry came in during the break with some hot sports news, intern Henry.
North Carolina, the football team.
Okay, good.
Cocted by Bill Belichick.
Dude, come on.
I know you can't handle.
Well, we were all pretty surprised this year when Bobby
Petrino was renamed the interim head coach at Arkansas, given all of the misgivings
in Bobby Petrino's history.
At Arkansas.
At Arkansas, at Louisville.
But I'm just saying.
That one was at Arkansas, right?
Yes.
The motorcycle and all that was Arkansas.
Arkansas.
So he's back at the scene.
Yeah.
That was the most, the craziest thing.
Well, never afraid of a controversy.
Bill Belichick has hired Bobby Petrienne.
as his offensive coordinator at North Carolina.
Yeah, I don't know if Chris Forrester,
that Dolphins' offensive line coach is available,
the one that was ripping rails and moving away with a stripper.
Like, it's two on the nose.
Like, do they just have to hire every,
are there any other two horny old coaches
that they can build a whole squad out of?
I'm sure they're all.
There's that guy from Ohio, right?
The Ohio, you guy, yeah.
Who was the Texas coach with the stripper and the monkey?
Jeff Banks, right?
Yeah.
Pole assassin.
He's gold, though.
But just, you know, if you'd have said,
what'd be the funniest guy for Bill Belichick to hire right now?
I would have said Bobby Petrino.
Is that a Belichick hire or a Lombardi hire?
Isn't he the GM?
Yeah, but I mean.
Mike Lombardi is for the 33rd?
33rd team?
33rd NFL team.
The Dunza.
The Dunza.
Here's Jake with the Dumbso News.
This is probably a sad story, but perhaps it's a happy ending, and we'll just never really know.
An 80-year-old man in Rockwall was arrested yesterday morning after allegedly shooting his 72-year-old wife.
Ooh.
She's in critical condition.
Probably sad.
What if
Okay.
This was a holiday
joint murder suicide gone wrong.
Or bailed upon.
He was supposed to kill her and he just couldn't.
So now it's a happy story?
Well, I think if they, I don't,
it's a happy story if they just intended to kill each other together.
I think.
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
And just around the holidays, I guarantee you there are old couples who stare at each other and think, like, could we get out of this together?
We were both religious.
Let's just take the next train out of here.
And it sounds good on paper.
Everybody.
It sounds great.
Kill your spell.
Yeah, yeah.
But then you, like, shoot her, and she's like, ah, and she's not dead, and you're freaking out.
And it's so gross.
I just don't know that everybody has the conviction.
for it that they might think they will
I feel like if you're 80
you're in WW2
well
time is still progressing
so no no
you're not anymore
you're alive for it but
you were 80 when it happened
you're eight 80
no or yeah you're born when it happened
you're a baby boomer
what year is this 80 years ago
2075 50
it would be a lot easier if it were
an easier year like a
five and the war had ended it an easier
year like a five, then you would have had an easier
time. Is it like 42?
It's 45, 25. It's 80 years.
No, I was asking when it ended. Forty-two?
Forty-three?
The war ended in 45?
Huh, who knew?
Anyway.
Hitler got. But no.
He was a baby.
What if a terrorist
was holding his wife, and he
had to shoot his wife in the shoulder?
Oh, man. I love
To save her life.
You're like, what am I going to do?
And you'll see, like, a Charles Bronson type movie.
He'll just ice both of them.
That was a headache for me.
Yeah.
But it is a weird story.
I mean, you've got an 80-year-old and a 72-year-old.
It's around the holidays.
And he walked to his neighbor's house to tell the neighbor,
I think there's something wrong with my wife's stomach.
I shot her in it.
So does he get arrested?
He's been arrested, yeah.
Oh, no.
She's alive.
Are they searching every cavity on that guy?
That's a good question.
Look at all.
His name is Stephen Bow.
It's B-O-E-W-E.
It's a hilarious.
I should have grabbed the photo, but he's, you know, I think it's probably funny because I don't know the, I've seen an old person with a mugshot with the towel.
That's always like a zoomer.
Yeah.
So my crazy-looking zoomer kid, X-X-X-X-S and Tashione looking, and this is like, I look like Dick Van Dyke.
but he's in jail.
We had multiple arrests made out at AT&T Stadium over the weekend, Blake.
Hey, speaking of AT&T Stadium, let's just look at the camera at some point here.
We have a Qualis cam set up where Trey.
I think he's done.
That's a good call.
Oh, look down here in the bottom, Sarah.
We've got our elf assembling Legos in the shape of AT&T Stadium.
Can you make a big for a second?
Just to see
Make it built.
He built this
We have a, yeah.
Gingerbread house you see up here earlier
in front of you.
If you want a snack.
Help yourself.
There he is.
What's going on?
He's got the base of the stadium done
and it looks like the base of the arches too.
Well, the base came in one part.
That black part on the farm right here?
Maybe we should have given him this first
because I don't think he's going to finish that today.
Man, and he's doing the really frustrating.
I've got to separate all the pieces.
Do the twist.
You're a big.
puzzle guy. So is this
similar? Yeah, I like a nice Lego.
We just got a nice orchid that we're going to put together
a Lego orchid. Well, when this is
done, it's going to look like AT&T
Stadium. And he's going to have
a hundred more dollars. And
100 pieces just left over in a bucket.
Well, if he wants to make it
lifelike, at least like what
it's like during
high school football games, he needs
some people in there fighting. Yeah,
I heard about this. I bet I'm sure you
did. There were many
arrests involved in Saturday's game.
Multiple incidents involving violence.
You have to love that.
Like, you don't think of the Cowboys fan as being that passionate, especially now.
Like, you always get downgraded for Philly fans or other fan bases.
Well, I want to be clear, this was during high school football.
Oh.
Sorry.
This is during...
I thought you meant during the Cowboys' game.
No, no, if you could find the video from opening night at AT&T and play it for Sarah later,
Oh.
That'd be great.
Was there a fight?
No, he referenced it earlier.
The original opening night at Cowboys Stadium.
There's a guy having...
Yeah, I'll find it.
Yeah.
Oh.
They were christening the stadium.
Yeah.
During the game.
Yeah.
Wild story.
Having relations with a lady.
But no, Dan.
In the water closet.
They were blacked out, though.
These are high school football fans.
These are likely parents, uncles.
but
okay not kids
uh dude i bet it's not mostly kid kids
this is great
you should go out there sometime
like just try to spend a whole day
you said you used to do that
oh we used to do it growing up a lot
yeah i mean it was
it was the thing to do you get in and stay all day
four games that day
what's a ticket cost i think i'm busy that day
you might have back then been 15 or 20 bucks what would you say now
35 40
yeah and they may no you can stay for the whole day right they a couple years ago i went to
some games at baseball field chalk tall and we were allowed to stay okay but dude you get a bunch of
people in there from whether it's small towns or bigger that's all they care about they're traveling
for high school football do you think they're also maybe the type of people who would fight
over high school football it's 100% yes all right
This is a tough story for me to report on.
Two cyclists from a Frisco triathlon club were killed after being struck by a vehicle near Pilot Point.
The reason it's a tough story for me to report on is because I have long been at war with the cyclist community.
But certainly no one deserves this.
it does seem highly dangerous to me though
like with the
hey we're going to kind of be on the road
and you have to respect us that way
just hoping that everybody is going to respect you
and I'm going to be like I don't love this
I feel like you're walking me with that uniform
but I'm a sane person
so I'm going to treat you like a car
but I'm also in a car
you treated like a glass car
exactly you get way around it I am not yes
exactly but a lot of people buzz
Not everybody's on that same way.
And some people, I think, are looking at their phone
and all of a sudden they're going to hit, like, they don't
mean to hit him. Yeah.
No, dude, I'm
terrified. I guess that's why I can't.
Did you say they were training for
a triathlon or they were? They are
members of a triathlon club.
Okay, so it wasn't during a triathlon.
No, it wasn't during a triathlon, but they
were on the bikes. Like, they were
outriding. And, you know, there's people that were
like oh i was supposed to be on that ride is that going to your bit of like you like riding bikes but
you don't like the culture yeah cycling's a big one for sure that's been a really popular
email topic we're talking about um because i ran the half but i'm not a runner so tc's family who
are runners were like oh cool time and like they're assholes about it because they're runners
like all runners are um and i got we heard from a lot of people in the test
Slug community.
Oh, God.
Who are like, yeah, I love my car, but this sucks.
Aggies are a big one that we heard from.
I like the school, but really don't like being associated with anything.
Anything with it, right?
Fish, the band.
So one of the Aggies emailed me, it was like, I also stopped wearing my Grateful Dead shirt in public.
He's like, love the Grateful Dead.
Don't want to talk to any Dead fans.
Exactly.
I think cycling probably has some of that.
Jeep guy
Jeep guy
How's Jeep guy
I think they're still waving
I don't wave too much
You got Jeep I do have a Jeep
Do you have like all the
Don't you have little figurines in the front
People put ducks on my car
And Christina thought they
They wanted to fuck me
That's the duck man
Which may be true
But that's not what the duck means
Just a symbol of kindness
And that's a thing
But that's part of
If you're going to be in a relationship
with Mike Soroy, you just got to know the world
wants it. That's weird.
Hard to explain. But yes,
I have a lot of ducks get put on my car.
So that, and then they wave at me sometimes
and sometimes I always feel obligated.
My daughter. Is that how people assemble all those
because people put them on your car?
Yes, they put them on your, like, hood or
windshield wiper, like, just
randomly. Or the little
handle bite, you know, where you open your door.
So you're like just so stoked
on Jeeps that you carry around ducks
and then if you see a fellow Jeep,
you're like, I'm going to give them a duck.
Yes.
Because I know some other idiot's going to give me a duck at some point.
Exactly.
Then I guess you're supposed to put them at your windshield.
I'm not.
Yeah, yeah.
So my daughter has seen that.
I was like, how did they get?
20 of them?
It's a Jeep thing.
It's a Jeep thing.
And so she had some of those ducks
and she was like, let's put these in your car.
I drive a Ford Explorer.
And I'm like, I don't want to do that.
She can give me to do anything.
But now I've got them up there, and Jeep people see me, and I feel like I'm doing some combination of stolen valor and, like, blackfeels.
I'm like, I know I don't deserve it.
No, you can't definitely can't be, yeah.
If I saw that in my Jeep, I'd pull a pit maneuver, spin you out.
And I feel it.
You'd be right.
I'd be so mad.
You'd be right.
We had an argument in grapevine over the weekend that led to a stabbing, an argument over a flat tire between two.
friends they were in the
parking lot of Ashley Home Furniture Dan
I think it's
34 PSI right
a verbal argument
over the situation
there's really not a ton of details other than that they
were in the car together and they pulled over to change
the tire like they had a flat
and I got to tell you
I can see how that I would way
rather be by myself
oh yeah yeah
like if you got a buddy there
male female whatever
And they're just like, God.
Told you.
Did you do the...
You definitely don't want a female.
Told you as low.
That'll be emasculating when you can't really do it.
Yeah.
You're sweating and groaning.
If I had you change your tire right, how long would you...
Ooh, let's get Trey.
Let's make him change the tire.
Make Trey do stuff.
I don't know, because I feel like you can hurt yourself doing that.
Like, just crushes his head.
Isn't that the part you're always worried about?
is getting it, like, it's not going to fall on me, right?
Like, getting the actual.
Yeah, plus with the little jack lined up.
The little tiny spare, crappy jack that they have in the...
It's attached, usually.
Yeah, the Ford Explorer, it's like a little thing, and you just got to kind of,
it takes forever to get it up, and...
I feel like I could do it, but it would take a while.
Yes.
I've changed tires in my life.
Have you?
I have.
I've done it a few times.
I've done...
You ever change the tire?
I have.
No way.
Yes, I have.
I have changed a tire.
You have changed a tire.
I would say if I knew a woman who would have.
Yeah.
But badly.
And it was very ridiculous.
I'd to like stand on the thing to, you know, the jack or whatever.
So I'm so loony-tuned.
I just put your weight on it.
You're alone and you had to change a tire or you and you and Nancy.
Yeah, my pod partner.
We're just always driving around.
You have?
Yeah, recent, like within the last few years.
Oh, wow.
You have a battery
Put that tiny little tire on there
Yeah the little donut
The battery is scary
Yeah me and sphinx
What do you do?
Spinks is here today
We changed
We did my battery one time
What's grounding
What do you would
I hate that
You put tap it on things
You always feel like you're going to die
Yeah
Disaster
Let's see here
I just lost my story
Oh we had more
We had more violence
related to the football
games as a south oak cliff player dan they won their state championship uh one of their players was
arrested hours after that um for shooting a teammate in the neck did people celebrate
differently yeah yeah uh it does not there's no it we don't know that it was intentional
could have been celebratory yeah what was the neck wearing they flip
Let's get the whole story here.
I don't know why, but anthropomorphizing and hoaring up a part of someone's body is...
By the way, do we have gummy thoughts today?
Let's have some.
Earlybird CBD.com.
promo code DumbZone.
If you have a gummy thought.
DumbZone 20.
Or if you don't know what a gummy thought is...
Get on board.
Oh, it's DumbZone 20?
Sorry.
Mm-hmm.
DumbZ 20, Earlybird CBD.com.
This is stupid, but I was just talking to my wife about this.
And she said something about her hormones.
Oh.
And, you know, she was like, yeah, I think this is, like, kind of messing with my hormones a little bit.
And I was like, what?
That's a hilarious name for that.
Like, I understand that, like, one word preceded the other.
But it would be very funny if, like, something in the male, in the male chemistry, if you were like,
I think this medication is fucking with my brogripes.
I've never thought about that.
I know, and I'm like, how have I never?
Like, oh, geez, here it is, the hormones.
You know how those be?
Huh?
And it's a lady.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, somebody got shot after the football game.
I don't, I don't, I think I just barely missed the gun.
Like, I think that probably there are people that went to the high school that I go to now,
they're not like doing violence but have a gun
and that was not around when I was in high school
and you went to a fake high school Blake
so I can't use you as
I just like the idea that there's like a 17 year old
that's like no I'm not going to kill anybody
I just have a gun
it's just part of my
my carry
that's a lot
um
what else do we want to do here
what's on your news my
Sarah.
Barry Weiss.
What are you writing?
Yeah, she just asked me about Barry Weiss.
And taking down the
Trump video.
What's that?
Well, the CBS News thing is that CBS News had a story
last night about a detention center
and it was going to run on 60 minutes
and then like midday
they put out a statement saying,
actually the lineup's going to be a little different.
tonight buddy we won't be running that and as you know CBS news now under the purview of
Larry Ellison and now who's that uh journalist Barry wee Larry Ellison would be
who is it TC which big company not Oracle it's Oracle and now his son just David
Ellison is Paramount and all that no odd HBO Max yeah one of your kings and Barry one of
who's a sort of controversial figure in the journalism world.
She was at the New York Times and then left
and started this substact magazine called The Free Press,
which has been outrageously popular, you know, successful.
Yeah.
And then she got tapped to run CBS News,
which was pretty head-scratching for most people.
But she's a real divisive figure,
so people
Well, you can say it.
I mean, people are reading into this.
And I appreciated the context of our friend Brian Curtis,
be like, 60 Minutes ever done anything?
They have.
There have been administrations and officials
that have bullied CBS in 60 minutes before.
It's not the first time.
It's not the last.
But the news arm of CBS did hire someone
who's kind of known for their opinions
to run their operation.
So now everyone is reading into their,
moves her opinions, rightly or wrongly.
Does anyone here know who Ash Trevino is?
She is a North Texas influencer.
I'm out.
She's 36 years old.
Related to Lee?
I don't think so.
Jose?
Still probably no. I don't know. I don't know.
She's got half a million followers on Instagram.
what does she do i can't really tell you she's an influencer um but she was arrested
on two felony fraud accounts one for health care fraud and one for welfare fraud
which is kind of what i just expect all of these influencers are doing
like some level of grift but um yeah i don't know somebody half a million followers none of us
know who this person is but
somebody does
she posted on her social media
afterward declaring her innocence
and that she would fight these charges
state jail felonies though
I mean you're supposed to go to jail for six months
she
she's famous
largely due to her prison wife
content
involving relationships with inmates
her
her prison wife
well
she'll just get more followers
I'm interested
yeah I am too
just because you think
I could date her then right
if she's used to dating prisoners
like how
would you feel bad if she wouldn't be into you
or maybe that's part of the allures
I was going to say yeah
man and you know
I've never
been in this situation, but it would be
you see it in movies every
now and then, but it would be tough
to be with a woman who
the last guy she was with before
you was in jail and he's going to get out.
Oh, yeah.
Because, you know, he's just hungry.
Who's this?
Yeah. That doesn't seem like a...
Don't talk to her that way.
But the funniest thing about
when these influencers... Yeah, right?
The funniest thing when these
influencer people get arrested
is they have to do mug shots
and like nobody looks
further from what is going to be
a mug shot than an influencer
like there's not a single
picture you see of them online where they look
like a normal person. We do need filters
for mugshots. Right. We need
update that. Well that's why we have
our favorite website, right? Mugshotis?
Yeah. The best. You know about
mugshotis? No, that sounds like
very much up my alley.
Mugshoties is more
Yeah, you need to
You need to take a swim through mugshoties
Yeah
Hot chicks with their mug shots
Yeah, yeah
And I don't know, it's like
It's somehow like
redeeming for the male character
And disgusting at the same time
Because it's all appearance based
But, you know, it'll be like a photo
And it'll say like, you know,
Stole 20, I extorted somebody
And they're like, just hear the other side
Yeah
Every comment is like, we sure
Like, did you get proper defense attorney?
Blake is introduced
This is fantastic.
Two mugshoties.
This is not a mug shot.
She's in a bra.
Well, I mean, I didn't see it.
I don't know.
A stolen bra.
That means she opened your...
Do you think the women are excited to make mudshotties?
Do you think there's women out there that are like, I didn't even make mug shotties?
Well, how would you feel?
I'd be so mad.
That's what I'm saying.
If you'd be like, I'm not even a mug shoddy.
I got arrested.
Just keep refreshing it.
All right, there's your dress.
there's your news
the dumb zone
Clayton uh
Paw Patrol
I'm about to
that was a good news
all right
I don't know where everybody's going
if everybody's going to be here
and I want to make sure
this happens while they're here
uh this is from the kids
content corner
I'm not going to play the open
uh Sarah recently
um I think it's because I'm taking
this game day stuff
and it's just making me horny or something
but like I'm noticing
the trickiness that they do
with female characters and cartoons.
Okay.
And it's pretty clear to me that somewhere they decided like,
well, maybe a little hotter, like, right?
Like, not just flat up top and bottom.
Like, we're gonna, I think, maybe some curves.
I think there's a boob slider on the character
and they're like, why don't we just keep going
to the right a little bit?
And I find it distracting.
Okay.
There's a new Paw Patrol movie.
And most of the people in this movie
are either dogs or people who look like
have proper proportions and then they have the female villain bro what the what are we doing
this is not an ass that needs to be on a video game cartoon character go to the next one
when she's in a jump shoot what are we doing like is that anything else than hey dad
look at this ass she's a skinny she's skinny but they clearly were just like all right
Make her have, like, the most Kim Kardashian.
Absolutely.
Go back to the other one.
Yeah, it's like, and then she, they always show pictures of her doing this.
Like, walking upstairs.
Yeah.
I'm low and behind her.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
And I, like, turn to my wife the other day.
I'm like, are you seeing what I'm seeing here?
Like, you're, uh, they're messing with me a little bit.
She was like, yeah, you're gross.
He's sicko.
Fortnite added Kim Kardashian.
Have you seen that?
Mm-hmm.
With a body suit?
Mm-hmm.
It's incredible.
It's an incredible topic to talk about the good beats.
Anything to promote, Sarah?
I won't have a book until fall of 26, so until then, no.
But I still write for the Dallas Morning News.
Okay, yeah.
I thought you might specifically give us an article or something coming up next Sunday.
Thanks for coming in.
It's kind of a busy time, guys.
It's Christmas.
Listen to Sarah's podcast.
She has one as well.
If you want to subscribe to that, that is, smoke them if you got them.
True enough.
You can get that over on the substack, as you can get our podcast as well there and Patreon.
We have Mike Soroy, who has himself a nice YouTube show, Cirque du Soroy.
That'll be on tomorrow night.
Far night, live, 8 o'clock.
Call me.
Tube and Twitch.
I will.
I'm around.
Cool.
And, yeah, good times.
Well, thanks to Sarah Heppala and Mike Soroy.
Yay.
Thank you, guys.
All right.
The dums are, don'ts, don'ts.
All right, some birthdays today, famous people birthdays.
Former Cowboy Everson Griffin is 38.
Man, that guy has some serious problems.
It says Kempspin next to his name.
Yeah, I mean, I don't, it's, I think that's probably either CTE or some level of mental health.
But he, like, he did the old barricade.
When he was in Minnesota, he tried to do some violence.
They had to go get him.
It was a bad deal.
And then the Cowboys were like, awesome.
We need a little intensity off the edge.
Steve Garvey.
Of company.
Is 77 of Garvey and Company.
Steve Carlton is 81.
He was good.
He was pitching great.
As I recall, he would never speak to the media.
And I think I'm reading Angela Cotaldi's book, confirmed that.
And he would talk to Cotaldi after he retired.
But as little Dan would remember, he was on the Cleveland Indians for at least a year
because they had like three players in their rotation who had 300 wins at the same time.
It was like him and Joe Necro and someone else.
I can't remember who.
They all sucked by then.
Well, yeah, they were all like 40.
It's fun when you're a kid.
It was great.
Haven't the Cowboys done a lot of stuff like that?
Oh,
assembled like teams of.
Oh, yeah.
Vinnie Testiverty.
Guys you've heard of.
Da Baby is 34.
Yeah, I'm a fan of Da Baby.
But I think he got canceled pretty hard.
You know, like I think there's probably a general assumption that most rappers are homophobic.
But then he got up there and was like, hey, if you gay leave.
I don't like all that age shit.
And he had a song with, like, Duolipa, and she's very popular with gay.
So it was, uh, it was a, he kind of pissed his career away, to be honest.
Now much more popular Lil Baby than Da Baby.
So kind of Tim Hardaway seniorish.
Yeah, it's like, look, I don't like gay people, and here it is.
Dude, have you all ever heard that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I figured you were sports.
I used to hear a lot of Hardaway senior quotes.
It's.
At the Oakley store?
No, just online.
On the radio?
No, we didn't get it.
We got no basketball players in our store, I got to say.
It's Oakley.
It is Oakley.
Are you finding that?
More breathless.
What's wrong with your Dropbox, man?
Oh, you jerky.
What?
I thought this is a, here, pull me up.
I think, go, how do you deal with a gay teammate?
Oh, you think we're off to a good stock here?
Oh, oh.
Boom!
Boom!
Oh, first of all, I wouldn't want him on my team.
And second of all, you know, if he was on my team,
I would, you know, really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right.
And, you know, I don't think that, you know, he should be in a locker room while we're in a locker room.
And it's just a whole lot of other things.
So I wouldn't even be a part of that.
But, you know, stuff like that going on.
And there's a lot of other people.
why he had like that, that's still in the closet and don't want to come out the closet,
but, you know, I just leave that alone.
You know that what you're saying there, though, Timmy, is flatly homophobic, right?
It's just, it's bigotry.
How do you think that's going to go over?
Is Tim going to say, I never considered that.
Wow, you know what?
Now I'm going to think about it.
Think about my stance.
This could be harmful to a lot of people.
Let me reconsider it.
Homophobic, right?
It's just, it's bigotry.
Well, you know, I hate gay people.
Oh, gosh.
You know, I'll let it be known.
I don't like gay people.
I don't like to be around gay people.
I don't, you know, I'm homophobic.
I don't like it.
It shouldn't be in the world for that or in the United States for it.
So, yeah, I don't like it.
Maybe the world.
It just occurred to me how homophobic saying homophobic is.
Well, he's like, I'm glad you just told me what that term is.
I never knew.
I've been searching for a group, an identity.
Now I know.
Like someone told you, actually, these actions you're making that.
makes you autistic.
You're like, oh,
that makes sense now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
I hate gay people.
I didn't realize.
Like, he's not upset
that he was called a homophobic thing.
Oh, right.
Yes.
You got it.
Luke Campbell is 64.
Rapper.
Uncle Luke.
65, sorry.
Yeah.
I saw him in concert once.
He played one,
one and a half songs.
And he said,
stop the music.
Stop the music.
Fuck it.
You all want to see my girls
get naked?
And then he just kind of stripped as the DJ played on.
He didn't even sing anymore.
Were you, which side were you on?
How about one more song, Luke?
Come on, man.
To the fucking cop.
I bought a ticket.
Let me hear one more song at least.
I haven't done the early stuff yet.
Ralph Fines is 63.
He gives me the creeps.
No.
Because he's in magic movies, right?
So you probably like him.
I just think Grand Budapest Hotel, which is incredible.
That's good.
Also great and en Bruges.
I think he's good and everything.
He's the bad guy.
Is there a movie where he's a magician?
Because if there is, Mike will like it.
But we only think of the illusionist and the prestige.
Okay.
And the incredible Burt Wunderstone, of course.
Now you see me.
Now you see me.
Now you see me.
The new one out yet?
I don't know.
Fingers crossed.
I love the prestige.
Love it.
Remember when he breaks the trap on that woman's hand to ruin the guy's trip?
Yes, exactly.
Spring loaded.
Oh, man.
Fucking magic guys, man.
Teddy ball game is 55?
Which teddy ball?
Teddy.
Ted who?
Brewski?
No.
Ridgewater.
No.
He said 55.
It's just Ted.
Generally not Teddy.
I threw that on.
Ted.
I don't know.
You're right.
It's got to be brusky, right?
That fits.
It's got to be.
He's 55.
That sounds right.
No, but he's Teddy, though.
I said not, yeah, not necessarily a teddy.
Think of one of the most famous Canadian Ted's that you know.
Turner?
No, he's way over to the 55.
No.
I'm sorry, Dan.
Born in Canada.
Ted Horton?
Doesn't identify as a Canadian.
Ted Horton?
You might have heard of my dad.
Oh, the cruise missile himself.
Ted Cruz is 55.
Identifies as a Texan.
Yeah.
He's only 55.
Yeah, that was throwing me off.
He seems much older than that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jordan Sparks is 36.
American Idol.
Dancing.
Any relation to Bubba?
What's the one Bubba Spark?
I've been traveling for some time.
Video.
Vision ball and my bottle of shine.
Lonely, Lill and dusty road.
Bubba Sparks had some hits, man.
Miss New Booty.
Miss New Booty is number one.
Throw it back to me.
Megan Trainor is 32.
Seems like she overdosed on Ozempic.
little bit oh really well those commercials she's like thin and i thought what was good
about her was she was not she was all about that base base i thought she was
giant stood to me wide base apparently something else looking very trebly these days
her dense fire hydrant yeah low center of gravity right trying to knock her over right
just can't do it jake dina mire is 57 uh it definitely feels like a milf i should know
If you look up the Dina Meyer.
I or E.
Here's it Dinah.
Okay.
D-I-N-A.
Meyer is 57.
You've got to know her.
Oh, she's the, oh, my goodness.
Starship Troopers.
That's right.
She's the main, she's not Rebecca Romaine.
Yes.
Yeah, the main infantry one.
Or Denise Richards, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're fan of that movie?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Movie fucking rules.
Yeah.
So I'm in theater with my dad, first pair of tits I ever saw.
Nice.
Really?
Yep.
Your dad has tits?
Yeah, right there.
He was like, I know this is a weird time for me to show you my rack.
Young man, look over here.
Son, every round.
This happens.
This is all you're going to need in life.
A handful.
We had a receivers coach that will tell us that.
Who knows this person?
I know this person.
I remember this person.
68 years old, Susan Powder.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes.
That's a fitness lady.
So weight loss infomercials, fitness lady.
Stop the insanity.
She kind of had a buzz haircut.
Yeah. She had a Kurt Warner's white look.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So when I'm doing these birthdays and I'm looking them up and I'm like, are they alive?
Haven't heard of them.
Better do a quick, Google.
She is alive.
Good.
A little yay boo.
She's alive.
So that's a gay.
All right.
Turns out she ended up going through some tough times, bankruptcy, and currently drives
for Uber Eats in Vegas.
Wow.
Damn it.
And then some people
like kind of see her
coming up and be like,
well, you're the, aren't she?
Susan Potter.
She's helping people.
That is a, that right there.
I mean, she was at the top of the world.
Like, I feel like everybody knew who she was.
Couldn't talk to a single person.
It was a top of something.
She probably wasn't Richard Simmons big or anything, but she was.
She was a guest star on Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Made Will wear a fat suit.
That feels pretty close to the apex.
of the world to me.
That's one of those deals where by simply providing the detail of what you're doing today,
it makes your life sound a lot worse.
If no one had checked up and they're like, she's just old,
but when you're like, she works for Grubhub and Vegas.
Right, and it's Vegas.
Doesn't that feel dirtier?
I don't know.
I just kind of live an old respectful life, but no.
Just dropping Sammies off to hookers and hotels.
You ever see Fresh Prince?
It's honest work.
I like this note that in 2010, she was living in off the grid.
She was living off the grid in an earth ship-style home in New Mexico.
Earthship, it's what you think it is.
It's a bunch of these stupid houses from like the 80s and 90s where people are like,
what if I make my house look like a spaceship?
Oh, really?
Like the dome?
Like a biodome thing, yeah.
Now you say that with disdain, and I'm like,
oh, really?
Neat.
Like it looks like you could live in it?
You mean you can live in the caterpillar in Italy, Texas?
No way.
They have rooms for rent?
I double take the caterpillar.
Every time.
Every time.
No reason.
There it is.
Like, wow.
Still there.
And our dumb zone birthday of the day,
because we've had him in studio in the past,
and it may relate to our two in studio guests here.
Maybe three if Mike Soroy ends up doing some stand-up comedy.
if the soroys choose that when they lose the
who's birthday is it
these picks anyways the birthday of
Anthony Jezzelnick
okay hell yeah nice you guys fans
yeah he's funny oh yeah big fan
I saw him live at the Addison Improv
back in the day I was probably there because I saw him there
too a couple times I was there first you'll remember
you might have actually been because you go to the early show
you remember the show was a guy to like
to the right of the stage he was yellow
and Jesselnick had him kicked out and yelled as he was leaving that he was stupid
and that he should buy tickets to Jeff Dunham so he could understand the comedy next time.
Just being able to nail somebody on their way out the door like that.
And Jeff Dunham catching astray.
Yeah.
And it was a, he said that.
And I remember the guy from the improv, like the guy was being, he was being really unruly,
and he got kind of slammed.
You guys have to love that.
You're like, look, I mean, it's cool to see sometimes.
One time, yeah, a guy, like, he was clearly, like, insane.
He came up to me after my set.
I was an opening at the time.
And he was like, let me guess you're for abortion.
I had said nothing about abortion in my set.
But I mean, look at it.
I mean, you can tell.
I am.
It's health care.
It's basic health care.
Sure.
But anyway, so this guy says this.
I'm like, oh, this guy's insane.
This guy's going to have a problem.
And he starts like, I'm like, I don't have time.
I kind of will just walk by him.
but he keeps yelling stuff out through the feature and then the headliner and then finally at
the headliner he gets kicked out and I'm in the kitchen at Fort Worth hyenas and I see Eric
with the guy like his arm pinned behind his back and he's shoving him and in the space of the
window I can see him like fall over like he was fully getting taken down and I was like that is
really fun to see at a comedy show I love us I uh speaking of now you see me and some excellent
slide of hand. I was hosting
at hyenas many moons ago
and I broke up a fist
fight at the end of the show.
Two lesbian ladies
They will fight. They will fight.
Both look like Seelow Green. You know they're throwing haymakers.
And I
jump off the stage. I'm doing the bullshit
ending. Like, hey, fell out your comment
cards. Tip your weight staff. Give it up
for everybody. Then break up a fight.
And
when I, you know, you kind of adrenaline's
on a little bit. My jacket's gone. I was wearing a jacket at the beginning of the altercation.
At the end of the altercation, jacket's gone. So I could hit my cold. So that was a ruse.
That was a ruse. They put on a fake fight to steal your jacket. Irish traveler style.
Oh, these women are pros. Respect that. Yeah. Yeah.
Born on this day now dead, I'll just give you George Lugar, who invented the Lugar pistol.
Yeah.
Like, name that after me.
The little pointy thing?
I don't know.
What is a Lugar?
I thought the Lugar is the Wolverton.
German.
It has like the thin barrel,
but it's a semi-automatic.
I know Ruger.
I might be confusing them.
Now that you say Ruger out loud.
I know Lex Lugar.
We have Born on this Day now dead.
We have Ray Guy.
DJ.
Great punter.
Second best of all time.
Sadly, today, we have, this is an oddity.
Born on the same day.
It was Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees and Robin Gibb.
That's really weird that they would be born in the same day.
No, they're brothers, twin brothers, right?
Well, I mean, being brothers, yeah, that just seems like really odd.
Yep.
Great documentary.
It really is.
It's a nominal documentary, just if you're into process.
Like, are you not even, you're not really into the BG's music.
Like, I watch that documentary, and I also like the music, so.
I think I like them more than you.
But the process is cool.
Yeah.
I like groove music.
Gay music.
That's what you call that?
Well, I think you think of me as like, oh, it's like, I'm listening to like.
It's got to be gangster rap.
Right.
Like, someone has to die or self-drought.
That's not the case.
Talking about banging pee and all the things you kids are doing.
Yeah.
Can't just enjoy some.
like just the purity of 70s music,
when we could just hear a 30-year-old sing about how that 14-year-old looks really hot.
A better time.
Yeah.
You know, that's...
There's just literal songs, she's only 12.
God, man, I don't know.
I feel like if I read between the lines here...
Seriously, man.
Look at all the...
Everything I grew up with is telling me subliminally,
I'm supposed to like young girls.
I've been fighting against that.
There was a lady, I forget her name, but she's been in a few documentaries
where she famously banged, like, every lead singer in the 70s,
and she was very openly like a 15-year-old.
Wow.
And she's like, oh, that's whatever.
Like, that's why I don't blame Belichick.
He's programmed to think like this.
Epstein.
Look!
It's a different time.
And born and staying out of dead, Robert Zubke.
He is a football coach who invented the office.
offensive huddle.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Everybody,
Hey, hey, hey.
It was just like chaos before.
Vibrating football game.
They were just like, hey, hey, everybody.
God, I'm tired of yelling.
All right.
We'll just stand in a line.
No, no, no, no, that's not going to work.
Oh, hold on.
Play telephone.
Let's try a couple things.
He sends it down the line.
Yeah, yeah.
What if we just stand in a row?
I don't know.
We're getting there.
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's break it up.
We'll get back tomorrow.
We'll come up with something.
That's the dumbest thing to be credited with inventing.
Yeah.
Anyway.
The same category is like the guy who invented refrigeration.
On this day in history.
All right.
So our good friends, Jimmy Nelson, Scott, Chris.
So Scott had zero to promote.
He said he's going to be appearing in some town in a few weeks.
We just not sure where it is.
It's to the east.
Yeah.
I think it's to the east.
But not.
Not Tyler or Longview or Hideaway Lake.
So just keep Googling Scott Crisp and hope you got to figure out where he is.
You know what?
Just follow me on Instagram.
That's where I post all my shows because then I know I post.
Usually I do.
Scott does this on our own show, which we do not.
It is not live.
We schedule it every time we plug shows and every time he's got to be like,
oh, shit.
Yeah.
Let me look.
Let's see.
I'll be headlining, Sagan.
on the 26th, I'll be in downtown Plano on New Year's Eve, Calbunga Comedy, headlining.
New Year's Eve.
Yeah, New Year's Eve.
Headlining in Waco on January 15th.
And then headlining, no, and then way too early shout-out.
I'll be headlining the Bricktown Comedy Club in Oklahoma City on May 28th.
Good God.
That is a bit early.
Bit early.
But it's nice to know what you're going to be doing.
Yeah, you know. Put it on the books.
I mean, I guess. I mean, I guess it's fine to go that route.
And thanks to both of you for helping with our pre-recorded bits.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Helping.
Great fun.
Just brainstorm about all of them and then the ones that you put together, too.
Yeah, anytime I can bring up Clint Frizzell masturbating at his mother's house at the age of 26.
Starring Soroy, we'll be seeing that one in a little bit.
I hope it ran already.
No?
We've got a scheduled for why you're here.
Adios, mofo.
We got to go before this becomes a zoo.
