Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:26 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
Starting point is 00:01:42 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
Starting point is 00:01:56 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?
Starting point is 00:02:08 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?
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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
Starting point is 00:03:06 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
Starting point is 00:03:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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
Starting point is 00:04:14 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
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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
Starting point is 00:06:17 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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?
Starting point is 00:07:26 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

Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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,
Starting point is 00:12:46 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
Starting point is 00:13:35 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.
Starting point is 00:14:04 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
Starting point is 00:14:26 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
Starting point is 00:14:44 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
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:16 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
Starting point is 00:15:39 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
Starting point is 00:15:52 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
Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:50 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.
Starting point is 00:17:25 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:10 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:56 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:34 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?
Starting point is 00:19:53 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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?
Starting point is 00:20:31 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?
Starting point is 00:21:10 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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.
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 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.
Starting point is 00:22:31 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?
Starting point is 00:22:54 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.
Starting point is 00:23:09 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.
Starting point is 00:23:22 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
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:29 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
Starting point is 00:24:42 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?
Starting point is 00:24:57 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.
Starting point is 00:25:05 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.
Starting point is 00:25:29 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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,
Starting point is 00:26:03 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

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.
Starting point is 00:27:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:19 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:44 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
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.
Starting point is 00:30:40 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 Dunsah
Starting point is 00:30:52 Dunsah Dunsah Dunsah Dunsah Ones Christmas Got run over By a reindeer

Starting point is 00:32:09 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
Starting point is 00:32:57 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
Starting point is 00:33:49 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
Starting point is 00:34:33 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?
Starting point is 00:35:05 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
Starting point is 00:35:43 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
Starting point is 00:36:03 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.
Starting point is 00:36:19 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.
Starting point is 00:36:33 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.
Starting point is 00:36:43 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
Starting point is 00:37:08 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
Starting point is 00:37:33 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.
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:07 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.
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:26 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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
Starting point is 00:40:23 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
Starting point is 00:40:39 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?
Starting point is 00:40:59 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
Starting point is 00:41:49 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.
Starting point is 00:42:19 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?
Starting point is 00:42:54 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.
Starting point is 00:43:02 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.
Starting point is 00:43:19 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.
Starting point is 00:43:34 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.
Starting point is 00:43:54 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.
Starting point is 00:44:17 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
Starting point is 00:44:35 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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.
Starting point is 00:45:01 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
Starting point is 00:45:23 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
Starting point is 00:45:50 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
Starting point is 00:46:03 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.
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:38 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.
Starting point is 00:47:02 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.
Starting point is 00:47:24 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
Starting point is 00:47:36 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?
Starting point is 00:47:53 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.
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:24 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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
Starting point is 00:49:42 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
Starting point is 00:49:52 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
Starting point is 00:50:01 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.
Starting point is 00:50:16 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.
Starting point is 00:50:32 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.
Starting point is 00:50:49 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
Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:35 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.
Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
Starting point is 00:52:08 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.
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:34 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.
Starting point is 00:52:48 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.
Starting point is 00:53:01 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.
Starting point is 00:53:18 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
Starting point is 00:53:33 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
Starting point is 00:53:41 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
Starting point is 00:53:53 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
Starting point is 00:54:06 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?
Starting point is 00:54:37 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.
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:19 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,
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:55:55 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
Starting point is 00:56:08 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
Starting point is 00:56:23 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
Starting point is 00:56:41 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
Starting point is 00:56:54 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.
Starting point is 00:57:13 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.
Starting point is 00:57:38 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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
Starting point is 00:58:47 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.
Starting point is 00:59:13 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?
Starting point is 00:59:31 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.
Starting point is 00:59:56 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
Starting point is 01:00:41 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.
Starting point is 01:01:01 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.

Starting point is 01:01:52 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.
Starting point is 01:02:14 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.
Starting point is 01:02:37 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
Starting point is 01:03:22 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.
Starting point is 01:03:38 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
Starting point is 01:03:59 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.
Starting point is 01:04:31 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.
Starting point is 01:04:46 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.
Starting point is 01:05:32 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
Starting point is 01:05:53 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?
Starting point is 01:06:09 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
Starting point is 01:06:27 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
Starting point is 01:06:49 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.
Starting point is 01:07:20 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.
Starting point is 01:07:37 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
Starting point is 01:08:02 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?
Starting point is 01:08:46 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.
Starting point is 01:09:05 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.
Starting point is 01:09:20 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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?
Starting point is 01:10:10 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.
Starting point is 01:10:25 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.
Starting point is 01:10:51 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.
Starting point is 01:11:19 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,
Starting point is 01:11:49 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
Starting point is 01:12:10 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,
Starting point is 01:12:37 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?
Starting point is 01:12:57 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
Starting point is 01:13:24 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.
Starting point is 01:13:40 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?
Starting point is 01:14:02 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.
Starting point is 01:14:17 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?
Starting point is 01:14:39 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.
Starting point is 01:14:52 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.
Starting point is 01:15:08 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
Starting point is 01:15:23 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.
Starting point is 01:15:40 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.
Starting point is 01:16:14 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.
Starting point is 01:16:34 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.
Starting point is 01:16:54 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
Starting point is 01:17:28 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.
Starting point is 01:18:11 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.
Starting point is 01:18:39 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,
Starting point is 01:19:39 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.
Starting point is 01:19:58 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.
Starting point is 01:20:34 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.
Starting point is 01:20:58 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
Starting point is 01:21:32 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
Starting point is 01:21:52 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
Starting point is 01:22:22 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.
Starting point is 01:22:43 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?
Starting point is 01:23:09 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
Starting point is 01:23:47 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.
Starting point is 01:24:14 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
Starting point is 01:24:43 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
Starting point is 01:25:17 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
Starting point is 01:25:33 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
Starting point is 01:25:42 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.
Starting point is 01:25:55 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.
Starting point is 01:26:15 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
Starting point is 01:26:59 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.
Starting point is 01:27:32 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...
Starting point is 01:27:56 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,
Starting point is 01:28:22 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.
Starting point is 01:28:48 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.
Starting point is 01:29:31 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
Starting point is 01:29:55 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.
Starting point is 01:30:54 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?
Starting point is 01:31:23 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
Starting point is 01:31:55 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.
Starting point is 01:32:42 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.
Starting point is 01:32:54 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.
Starting point is 01:33:04 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?
Starting point is 01:33:24 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.
Starting point is 01:33:39 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.
Starting point is 01:33:57 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.
Starting point is 01:34:18 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.
Starting point is 01:34:32 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
Starting point is 01:35:00 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.
Starting point is 01:35:15 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?
Starting point is 01:35:34 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.
Starting point is 01:36:07 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.
Starting point is 01:36:25 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.
Starting point is 01:36:49 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.
Starting point is 01:37:04 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
Starting point is 01:37:18 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
Starting point is 01:37:34 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?
Starting point is 01:37:51 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.
Starting point is 01:38:06 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.
Starting point is 01:38:22 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?
Starting point is 01:38:40 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.
Starting point is 01:38:56 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.
Starting point is 01:39:27 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.
Starting point is 01:39:41 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?
Starting point is 01:39:53 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.
Starting point is 01:40:07 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
Starting point is 01:40:23 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.
Starting point is 01:40:42 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,
Starting point is 01:41:02 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.
Starting point is 01:41:14 Oh. They were christening the stadium. Yeah. During the game. Yeah. Wild story. Having relations with a lady. But no, Dan.
Starting point is 01:41:23 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
Starting point is 01:41:41 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
Starting point is 01:41:57 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.
Starting point is 01:42:35 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
Starting point is 01:43:10 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
Starting point is 01:43:26 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
Starting point is 01:43:44 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
Starting point is 01:44:16 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?
Starting point is 01:44:43 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
Starting point is 01:44:59 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
Starting point is 01:45:15 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
Starting point is 01:45:26 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?
Starting point is 01:45:42 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.
Starting point is 01:45:59 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?
Starting point is 01:46:10 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.
Starting point is 01:46:25 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.
Starting point is 01:46:48 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
Starting point is 01:47:11 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
Starting point is 01:47:25 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.
Starting point is 01:47:36 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?
Starting point is 01:47:57 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.
Starting point is 01:48:17 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.
Starting point is 01:48:24 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.
Starting point is 01:48:37 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.
Starting point is 01:48:55 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
Starting point is 01:49:05 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
Starting point is 01:49:16 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
Starting point is 01:49:48 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.
Starting point is 01:50:16 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.
Starting point is 01:50:28 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.
Starting point is 01:50:55 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.
Starting point is 01:51:13 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
Starting point is 01:51:40 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.
Starting point is 01:51:57 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
Starting point is 01:52:15 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
Starting point is 01:52:54 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,
Starting point is 01:53:23 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.
Starting point is 01:53:42 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?
Starting point is 01:54:02 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.
Starting point is 01:54:23 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
Starting point is 01:55:01 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
Starting point is 01:55:21 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
Starting point is 01:55:37 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
Starting point is 01:55:53 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?
Starting point is 01:56:11 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
Starting point is 01:56:27 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?
Starting point is 01:56:43 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
Starting point is 01:56:55 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,

Starting point is 01:58:11 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.
Starting point is 01:58:29 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
Starting point is 01:58:45 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.

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.
Starting point is 02:00:12 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.
Starting point is 02:00:32 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.
Starting point is 02:00:43 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.
Starting point is 02:01:03 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.
Starting point is 02:01:25 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.
Starting point is 02:01:46 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.
Starting point is 02:02:12 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.
Starting point is 02:02:27 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.
Starting point is 02:02:58 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?
Starting point is 02:03:12 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.
Starting point is 02:03:24 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!
Starting point is 02:03:40 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.
Starting point is 02:04:08 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?
Starting point is 02:04:28 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.
Starting point is 02:04:40 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.
Starting point is 02:04:55 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,
Starting point is 02:05:12 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.
Starting point is 02:05:21 Yes. You got it. Luke Campbell is 64. Rapper. Uncle Luke. 65, sorry. Yeah. I saw him in concert once.
Starting point is 02:05:34 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?
Starting point is 02:05:40 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.
Starting point is 02:05:56 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.
Starting point is 02:06:10 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.
Starting point is 02:06:24 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.
Starting point is 02:06:33 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.
Starting point is 02:06:49 Ted who? Brewski? No. Ridgewater. No. He said 55. It's just Ted. Generally not Teddy.
Starting point is 02:06:56 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.
Starting point is 02:07:03 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.
Starting point is 02:07:20 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.
Starting point is 02:07:31 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.
Starting point is 02:07:43 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.
Starting point is 02:07:59 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
Starting point is 02:08:22 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.
Starting point is 02:08:47 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.
Starting point is 02:08:59 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.
Starting point is 02:09:06 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.
Starting point is 02:09:15 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.
Starting point is 02:09:29 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.
Starting point is 02:09:42 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.
Starting point is 02:09:56 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,
Starting point is 02:10:13 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.
Starting point is 02:10:27 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,
Starting point is 02:10:48 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.
Starting point is 02:11:06 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.
Starting point is 02:11:30 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.
Starting point is 02:11:43 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,
Starting point is 02:11:55 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
Starting point is 02:12:16 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.
Starting point is 02:12:42 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.
Starting point is 02:13:02 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.
Starting point is 02:13:20 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.
Starting point is 02:13:32 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
Starting point is 02:14:06 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
Starting point is 02:14:24 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.
Starting point is 02:14:58 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,
Starting point is 02:15:09 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.
Starting point is 02:15:25 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.
Starting point is 02:15:49 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.
Starting point is 02:16:04 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.
Starting point is 02:16:19 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.
Starting point is 02:16:37 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.
Starting point is 02:16:56 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.
Starting point is 02:17:17 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.
Starting point is 02:17:31 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.
Starting point is 02:17:44 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.
Starting point is 02:17:54 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.
Starting point is 02:18:06 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.
Starting point is 02:18:25 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.
Starting point is 02:18:41 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.
Starting point is 02:18:55 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.
Starting point is 02:19:24 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.
Starting point is 02:19:38 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.
