Fairly Navidad.
Fairly Navidad. Yes, Fairly Navidad. yes fair lease navidad this from robert boyd i've been wanting a new car and matthew at fair lease
gave me that white glove service you've been talking about super easy to do told them what
i wanted and within a week boom sweet looking chevy tahoe right in my driveway delivered by
matthew himself danny their president worked with me to lower my payment.
Highly recommend this from Robert Boyd, but it could be you. If you just swing on over to
fairlease.org where you get top market value for your trade in appraisal over the phone and you
get to save money and a peace of mind with driving with a warranty. Don't buy the car
without leasing it. Drive now, pay later. Zero money down, no down payments for 60 days.
36 to 60 month terms.
This is the best way to buy your car with Fair Lease.
Lease it first, then buy later.
10K to 30K miles per year.
Fair Lease.
Thank you, Danny.
Thank you, Fair Lease.

Hey now!
Happy Monday.
To you and yours, if you celebrate.
You can still write 2024 on your checks.
When's the last time you wrote a check, Blake?
Like, handwritten.
Have you ever? we had a class project
in 5th grade
where we had to balance a checkbook
and I think that's the only time I ever did
you never actually filled out a check
otherwise?
no
maybe I did to help my parents
or something
to calm me down in the grocery store when I was a kid
but no
I've never written a real check of my own.
I'm Dan McDonough.
I'm Blake Jones.
Filling in for Jake today, go ahead.
I'm Kevin Turner.
That's right, Kevin KT Turner, who's the hardest working man in Dallas sports media.
Just ask him.
That's all he talks about.
I don't think I've ever said that.
Did a podcast yesterday on the One Star podcast show or whatever it's called,
the Cowboys thing, and after the game,
doing a little fill-in today and then going over to
105.3 The Freak
to do his afternoon drive radio show.
Or what is it, 90...
It's 97.1 The Eagle.
The Eagle.
You've worked at all those places, though.
Yes, I have.
Yeah.
So,
anyway, Monday program here, I have. Yeah. Yeah. So, anyway, Monday program here.
Show number 289.
We broadcast from high atop my garage.
We have a couple of sit-ins present.
A couple of sit-ins on the way.
We have with us, we have Jonathan and Travis.
Our high atop my garage.
What's your deal?
Oh, do they have a mic or no?
Yeah.
Yep.
Okay.
Oh.
How about that?
These are not closing remarks.
This is just, hey, what's your deal?
Opening remarks.
Our deal is we're from Grapevine, Colleyville.
We don't live here now. And this is our Christmas gift to each other to come hang out with KT and Blake and Dan, of course, as well.
But it's really for KT, right?
They booked it in March, and they've just been waiting for a KT show.
Yeah, okay.
And I said, the best we can do is December 30th.
And they said, we'll take it.
I feel like we could have knocked this out in the summer if you guys wanted to, but I just wait until I'm summoned.
Do you have anything to add there, Travis?
Just happy to be here and see the den.
Okay.
Feels voyeuristic.
Travis lives in Colorado, our dream.
Oh, okay.
Should that be our dream?
It's pretty nice, yeah.
I grew up here and moved there and never came back.
Why are you faking a marijuana cigarette right now?
Is that a big deal there? Does it all smell like pot?
Yes, it does.
Okay.
All right, well, I don't know if I'm for that.
Do you bring us any?
Possibly.
Okay.
Yeah, we'll see how the show goes, but I think so.
We've got to earn it. All right. Bring us any? Possibly. Okay. Yeah, we'll see how the show goes, but I think so.
We've got to earn it.
All right.
Well, we should do a weekend check.
The weekend check, a couple of quick spots on today's show because it's brought to you by Community Mechanical.
That's your HVAC.
You know what that means?
HVAC? Yeah, if somebody says that. What does that mean? HVAC?
Yeah, if somebody says that
What does that mean?
Something air conditioning
Yeah, it's like the heating, air conditioning
All that kind of stuff
I don't know what HV stands for
Anyway, these guys are great
They are a new company
They've kind of broken off to start their own thing
They're fighting the man,
of course. And they came out, what they want to push now is like the maintenance.
Hell yeah.
Preventative maintenance.
Big fan.
So I thought that, I'm not a big fan of that.
Why?
Well, so I just didn't care. They told me they were going to do that for my house and i was like yeah okay whatever so they came over and um in my attic
something had become dislodged at some point and uh like a hose or whatever and they were like
you know it's pretty good deal that you had us come over here because that's toxic whatever was
coming out like it's still probably getting out of the roof because the attic isn't well,
but they're like, that would have been a bad deal had we not come and caught this.
I mean, it could have been really bad.
This is why you need preventative maintenance.
Yeah.
So they'll kind of check everything, make sure.
We had filters.
Apparently, you have to change the filters.
Yeah, and they want you to change them every one month, three months, something like that.
Well, whatever it is.
It's crazy.
But they'll do it.
Okay, good.
They're coming in for it.
They're going to do a six-month maintenance type thing every six months.
Anyway, it's communitydfw.com, Community Mechanical.
Now is the time to get your HVAC fixed or checked out or the maintenance.
They are huge listeners, great dudes,
and they're trying to make it in this world, and they will.
CommunityDFW.com.
And Travis doesn't even need in your attic.
He can just reach all the way up there because he's so tall.
He's extremely tall.
6'7", 6'8"?
Something like that.
Anyway, 469-667-7290 or communitydfw.com.
Tell them you heard about it on the dumb zone.
I have a quick weekend check because I don't want to –
I mean, it's been a long time.
You have anything, KT?
Only that we – I know that you've been filling in for us,
so thanks for your fill-in work in the last week.
Yeah, I feel like my remaining vacation days
have all been doing dumb zone podcasts.
Like, I've been working, I think, every day.
Did a couple shows with Danny and Jasmine.
Are you doing more this week?
I think tomorrow and Thursday.
Okay, nice.
I think is the plan.
You know what I thought was interesting?
So they did the show Thursday.
And, you know, so Tuesday and Friday are exclusive content behind the paywall.
We don't do any advertisements.
Okay.
Monday and Thursday are air quotes free, but nothing in life is free, right?
Sure.
We take a minute out of your time every half hour or so for some hilarious ad reads.
So Jasmine is like she does sales for us.
She is a salesperson.
That's her main thing.
But because she's Jasmine, she can do a lot of things.
She can fill in.
She can host.
She can talk some sports.
She does picks with us on Friday.
And so I was talking to Jake before these guys were going to fill in,
and I said, Jake, do I need to talk to Danny about doing the live spots on Thursday?
He said, don't worry about it.
Jasmine is filling in.
If anybody's going to make sure the live spots get read, it would be, I mean, she's the one
that gives us, what is it, the traffic and continuity sheet.
And she fills out the copy and the traffic means what days and when, how many spots air
and all that kind of stuff.
And so I listened to their show.
Oh, no.
I was like, oh, that's interesting.
They didn't do any spots at all.
Because remember Monday?
I was talking to you and said, oh, I was going to do them all on Monday.
And thought, oh, no, no.
They're filling in.
Yep.
They'll do the, I don't have to, we don't have to overload Monday.
So we have to.
Do we have to do make goods?
Make good.
We will have to give some extra love to some of the sponsors.
So excited to talk sports with Danny and KT that she forgot.
Jasmine's there.
Yeah.
I just didn't think I had to.
Anyway, I don't really
I can't blame you
Not me
I'm not allowed
To take part in any of that
Yeah
Can I ask why
KT gets to wear
His shoes up here
Oh no
I didn't even know
He just showed up
And walked up
This is only my
Second time here
So
Sorry
Did you take your
Shoes off the first time
Luckily I wore my
Harambe socks today, though.
That's good.
Okay.
KT's a walking bit.
I didn't mean to out you.
I just thought, why do you get special circumstances?
I did not notice,
but I'm sure he's never walked in a dirty bathroom.
No.
You didn't have to walk outside to get in here?
No.
Yeah, but just leave it over there by Jake's area.
My real quick weekend check was,
so I picked up food for the family,
as I do nearly every night,
or at least we go out to eat.
Went to Chiloso.
Love it.
Okay.
You a fan?
You know Chiloso?
I have been twice.
Tacos, bowls.
Yeah.
All that kind of stuff.
Came back home.
This was just for me and my daughter.
And she ordered like the nachos or whatever, and it didn't have any queso.
It was missing queso.
That's kind of the point of nachos, isn't it?
It's a big part of the nachos.
And it was the listing.
So the receipt just listed all the stuff,
lettuce and whatever,
and it said queso on the side.
So that was part of the whole thing.
She got a tub of queso.
And so I went back.
And she's like,
oh, you don't have to do that.
It's like a 15-minute drive back.
So a half-hour round trip.
Had it been your nachos, would you have driven back?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay.
And she's like, oh, thanks.
Like, she couldn't believe I was doing it.
I go, look, this is my theory with the interns or whatever.
It is true that the restaurant messed it up.
And the restaurant does mess things up occasionally.
But I had a chance.
It was my fault.
I should have looked in the bag. Should have just taken a quick peek, and it was stapled and all that,
and you think, oh, these guys have their act together.
Well, they didn't.
And so, again, it is their fault, but I had the opportunity.
I was there.
I could have checked.
And knowing, hey, I just drove 15 minutes to get here.
I have to drive 15 minutes back.
If I have to do this again, it's going to be a whole, you know?
Like I should have, for myself even, have protected.
Because, again, when we send an intern out for lunch, I ordered this.
Now, if there are other circumstances that lead to that not being there, I now blame
the intern.
Yeah.
Okay?
It's your, I'm just ordering this.
And so I considered, my daughter ordered this, and I, anyway, so I went back.
And so I go back.
And it's like a, you know, half hour later.
And the guy kind of gives me attitude.
And he wants to look at the receipt, and he's looking at it real close.
And I'm thinking, okay, let's take a step back and pretend that I am scamming you.
It's a lot of effort for some cheese.
So what I did is a $32 order, or whatever, the $36 for two meals.
I'm going to pay that.
That includes the queso on the side.
I'm going to go home, drive home.
He doesn't know where I went.
He just knows I was gone for a half hour.
I'm going to leave your restaurant for a half hour.
Then I'm going to come back in.
And I'm not going to say, hey, you forgot the
nachos or you forgot
a $15 item. I'm going to say
you forgot the side of queso that would have been
$1.49 or whatever you charge.
Good point. But actually cost you
what, 12 cents?
Yeah.
This is what I'm doing across
DFW to every Chiloso.
And I'm going to end up with like seven quesos at the end of the day.
It's going to be like, what do you think I'm, like he's hemming and hawing and kind of really looking at it.
So that's just my customer service.
Do you give him any lip or?
No.
No.
Because I, oh, and my wife, my gosh.
See, this is why you need a Karen in your life.
I have a Karen.
Yeah. It's great. Yeah, but you're beginning to learn the beauty of it because she will say oh i just had to drive
all this time extra time yeah are you how are you going to make she'll i've heard her say it
yeah how are you going to make this right and i'm like sitting over there my head down like uh
and then i'm happy because she gets
two free meal coupons or something.
But no, I just
accepted the
one queso just thinking, is this guy going to give me
anything else? Whatever.
Would you like to tie it into
my mistake today? Is that why you were building?
What would you do?
I got your order wrong.
Oh, no.
I wasn't even thinking of that.
Okay.
That's fine.
It's like you give the intern the little side project.
If they can't get it right, then you know they're probably not a good intern.
Yeah.
Maybe I should have gone back to Eatsies.
Maybe I should have checked the bag.
I'm sorry.
I forgot your broccoli. It's not a big deal.
I wasn't saying that all to refer to that, actually.
I thought you were.
No.
What about Christmas?
I mean, it happened.
Y'all just stayed here?
Yeah, what do you mean?
Didn't do anything?
Where would I go?
Wasn't great?
It was Christmas.
It was good.
Did you do presents?
Yeah, what are you saying?
It's Christmas.
I'm asking how your Christmas went.
But I have two girls that are high you know, high teen, early 20, you know, 21 and 19.
So it's different.
Did you watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
We watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
And you watched the first one last year?
Yeah.
Okay.
She said we're not doing three because three sucks.
Okay.
And Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was actually, it was a horror comedy, horror slash comedy.
And it was fun.
Yeah.
That's their Christmas tradition.
That's a little insane.
My daughter is like a film major, and she's also really into horror.
Okay.
Has she heard of The Terrifier?
I don't know, but I'll write it down.
I learned of this through, yeah one star cowboys podcast
friend kent you know kent garrison yeah uh so apparently there's a movie called terrifier
three or something so i'm guessing there's there's a one and a two and uh apparently people are
seeing the first scene and it's like made people like vomit and stuff because it's so insane
and it's really just a guy going in and killing his family and other people on Christmas Day.
Totally normal.
Like they're opening presents.
Is your daughter into stuff like that?
I mean, Kent described it as a slasher film.
I'm sure she would be.
I will ask her about it.
Because Kent watches every single movie known to man.
Okay.
But I'm not really into that.
I haven't been into like the horror thing
since high school
when you thought
you could take a girl
to a movie
and she might get scared.
Yeah, she might hug you.
Yeah, I've never been
into it,
but I think her
and her little buddy
like watching.
They view it all
as comedy.
Yeah, I think
that's probably fair.
Yeah.
I like some of those
psychological stuff.
Saw 1 was fun.
I loved
Yeah
And then it got
Then it turned into
Torture stuff
And then that's not
Fun anymore
When it's a game though
And a puzzle
I'm in on that
I like games though
Yeah
So
The torture stuff's only fun
If it's like
Rated X
Then that's really fun
And it's your
Step sister
I do have some TV
I'm probably going to save it for Friday
Because we've got a lot of football stuff to get into today
But I did
I watched the
Who's the guy that runs wrestling?
Vince McMahon
The Vince McMahon documentary
I've been watching a lot of TV
Finished up the Aaron Hernandez
Program
Did you see the
Vince McMahon meme in it? Oh yeah The throat cut Oh yeah I. Did you see the Vince McMahon meme in it?
Oh, yeah.
The throat cut?
Oh, yeah.
I like when you see things you've seen a million times actually in context.
I didn't know anything about him.
It's really interesting.
You mentioned Guy killing his family,
and that was one of the last things in it was the Chris Benoit.
Oh, man.
Apparently this wrestler who at first they didn't know what he did.
They just knew he died, so they started like a tribute to him.
Oh, no.
And it was like this touching thing because apparently if any wrestler dies,
the next day they always will dedicate everything to that wrestler no matter what.
And so they were in the middle of this show touching uh dedication to how great chris benoit
was while news was coming out on other stations so they had this live event and then news is coming
out on other stations that actually he uh strangled his wife smothered his son and then hung himself
which really shows that you could really do a lot without a gun.
Because he could have made it a lot easier.
Yeah.
But he was for gun control.
So you've got to applaud him in that.
So I've got family that lives here, so my Christmas was very busy.
So Christmas Eve we went to her family's side.
And it's an all-day thing.
Like you have lunch, and then you do presents.
You let the kids rip and romp around, and then you do dinner.
And it's just – it eats your whole day.
But I particularly had fun on that day because it's the one event a year that the brother-in-laws have to go to.
So usually they just bail out of everything.
Normally it's, yeah, I walk in, the two wives are there,
the brother-in-laws are not there,
and I'm wondering how do I get on their level?
They're able to just get out of everything.
So these are the, I don't know if you know the backstory of his brother-in-law,
brothers-in-law
suck.
And so Blake,
even when he's
a bad husband,
looks great.
All the time.
It's awesome.
These guys are losers.
They got crappy jobs.
They're,
And it's been a roller,
it's been a roller coaster
because,
they're just bad people.
Right?
I don't know about bad people.
I don't know about bad people. I just, But they do, do things um i don't know about bad i don't know about bad people i just
they they do do things they don't they don't do attentive things to their wives at all right no
no no yeah i get to hear about all the time you'll take your your kid to a birthday celebration even
without your wife yeah they'll just never even show up to it at all right so this initial this
initially upset me because when I started dating
my wife, I was trying to do things with her family to look like the good guy. I want to try to fit in.
And it just made me mad over time that these two guys didn't have to do dick
and they're just a part of the family. So I thought that's a little unfair.
But I'm now finding out that it's actually a good thing because they are just,
but I'm now finding out that it's actually a good thing because they are just,
they're never around.
Yeah.
They're not great to begin with.
And so, yeah, I look like the anointed one
just by being a decent person.
Does it let you get out of stuff though?
That's what I'm trying to figure out
because I'm stacking all these credits
and I don't really know what I'm going to use them for yet.
Like would it bother your wife
if you didn't show up to her side of the family Christmas?
I think I have enough
tokens saved up that it wouldn't.
But if I didn't go to anything
like they did, it would upset her, yes.
Yeah, you kind of got to do that.
That's the one you have to do.
You have to show up.
But they don't. And I think it's amazing.
That is kind of awesome.
But they can't get out of Christmas.
They can get out of Easter.
They can find a way to get out of Thanksgiving,
but Christmas Eve, they cannot.
And so I just loved watching them just sit there in the corner on their phone,
just giving their wife the eye of, like, when can we leave?
And I kept trying to rope them into stuff.
Do you like going to her side of the family stuff?
I don't hate it.
I've learned to love it.
We gamble and play a lot of games.
Food's always great.
Yeah, you kind of have to spin it to where you can have a good time.
But no, I don't hate it the way that I used to.
So that was good, watching them squirm a little bit.
Christmas Day was my family, same thing.
If we could just kind of cut back on how long these things last,
I think it would be great.
They are long.
Let's limit it to one meal, and then let's all go our separate ways.
Is it a reheating?
And let's get that meal early.
We don't need to start the meal at 7.
Yeah.
Then we're going to be
there until 11.
Christmas Day was rough.
We had like an 11 a.m.
breakfast brunch
kind of thing
and then a dinner at 8.
8?
Yeah.
It's too long.
It's too long.
Is there a lot of people
sitting on the couch
and yawning
and kind of falling asleep?
Yeah.
Because it's a lot
of sitting around.
Did you do NFL?
Yeah, I did some NFL.
Had a nice little
Christmas Day nap.
How was your Netflix going?
Mine was not a seamless experience.
Oh, like buffering?
Yeah.
Like the fight?
Yeah, it was just some bad stuff going on.
A lot?
Clean the land.
Yeah.
Just a little bit.
It was tuning in late and then rewinding type thing.
I don't know.
It was a little weird.
The reports were that
Netflix, they had a stumble
out of the gate, and then they had
a little bit at the end of the first game,
but everything else was good on
their end. So this could be a you problem.
Yeah, maybe.
It's good to know. I know they were bragging about
the audience size and all
that, and somebody else pointed out
yeah, it's 20% down from last year.
They did not get a bigger audience than last year.
How did they know?
Which was on, what do you mean?
What do you mean last year?
Like Christmas Day games last year?
Yeah, they had Christmas Day games, yeah.
That were on?
On network TV.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all.
I mean, it was just, it's funny because netflix uh famously doesn't
release their numbers unless they want to brag about something like that's the only time they
ever do release numbers on anything pretty genius so brooks got a bike for christmas okay and
i mean he's got training wheels but he's's, he's already like, he's,
he loves it. He's running around the neighborhood. And I thought, cause Jake's big thing is kids
don't learn to ride bikes anymore. Is that true? I think it is true. Like in general percentages,
kind of like percentages, more kids are not driving as quickly.
But you might have one kid who's real stoked on driving when they're 14
and one who waits until they're 17.
I guess that's true.
There's a ton of kids on bikes in my neighborhood,
and Brooks picked it up quick and loved it.
I don't know.
I don't know why that would have died, I guess.
But then last thing, this morning, kind of got back into my routine.
I hit my coffee, my gas station coffee, because I have a drink subscription.
And I told KT, I told these guys last time that I was in the store when this lady dropped
the ball on everyone that she had lost a couple kids in December, so she's not the biggest
fan of Christmas.
Yeah, I heard that.
And I was like third or fourth in line that day, and I don't know if she saw me.
So I wanted to see if she did this to everyone, and so I asked her today, how was her Christmas?
And she said the same thing.
Yes.
So that's the thing she gives everybody.
Yeah.
Hey, how was your Christmas?
I would think this is making her December even worse by bringing this up to everybody.
Telling everybody?
Yeah.
How many people know this story about her now?
Everybody at this corner gas station, I guess.
Damn.
But I try to play it.
Is it Phyllis?
I thought you said it was Phyllis.
Yeah, I think so.
Connie's my favorite, but yeah.
Well, Connie's got all her kids.
But not all of her teeth.
She's wearing a Santa hat.
Coming in bragging about...
I don't want to ask Phyllis anything.
I never want to talk to her about anything.
I can't wait to see my kids for Christmas.
Or just complain about your Christmas.
Like, oh man.
My kid.
I got a...
My mom, in fact, this really happened to me, gave me a book I already have.
Ah!
And then I got on the phone with my mom that morning, and she's like, how'd you like your...
Ah, love it.
Yeah.
Can't wait to read it.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Yeah, return it.
You got to do that.
You got to lie.
Yeah.
Well, I might return it.
She sent the gif receipt, which was nice of her.
Or I will give it away.
Oh, also, I went and picked up the Dumb Zone calendar.
Okay.
I got a few for you as well from Raymond.
And I hadn't seen this yet.
Apparently, you can still go to
whatever website it is.
DumbZoneMerch.com
Is it DumbZoneMerch.com?
Yeah.
I mean, it's on our website,
DumbZone.com
or E6 Sportswear.
Anyway,
we got a little
centipede in there.
Yeah, I haven't seen this either.
Some stuff, yeah. Anyway, I got a few for you as well.. Yeah, I haven't seen this either. Some stuff, yeah.
Anyway, I got a few for you as well, but I wanted to mention I got it.
This is probably the key to the whole calendar.
The centerfold is Chappie.
Chappie on a motorcycle in front of a CC's.
Picture Chappie holding a Coke in a water glass.
With a chert that says Chappie.
Yeah, there's a lot of inside info on that particular thing.
All right.
Well, we can't avoid it anymore.
Well, we can.
Do whatever we want.
The wonderful world of sports.
Radio sports.
Scoreboard.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
We will talk Cowboys.
And I want to make an announcement.
Because I've been thinking about what we're going to do for the NFL playoffs.
Because we should do something, shouldn't we?
We have one more Cowboy game.
Yeah, are we streaming that?
We're streaming next weekend.
Or is it Sunday afternoon?
Yeah
Do they have a game time yet?
Noon
I hope it's
Oh good
Yeah
I was about to say I hope it's noon
Yeah
They put all the bad games on Sunday
With no playoff ramifications at noon
Okay
Well that's great
We're going to live stream that
On our YouTube page
Game watching parties
Are still kind of fun.
It might even be fun next week.
Because we could just talk for the whole game
about what the One Star podcast was talking about a lot today,
which was, or yesterday, was Mike McCarthy's future.
Because it does seem to be the one thing that is up in the air.
And maybe that's the whole reason that he's not playing Trey Lance.
I don't know.
It's very confusing that they get this game going
and we're watching Cooper Rush versus Kenny Pickett.
Like, at least Trey Lance.
You know what?
I'll get into the Cowboys in a second.
But I do want to finish up my big announcement,
which I veered off of,
which was I believe that in this year's NFL playoffs,
we should go to my adopted team, which I am now rooting hard for,
to get to the big game in February, if it's not in March yet.
Let's just cover Baker Mayfield, shall we?
We did it last year.
Yeah. Didn't we do Baker, shall we? We did it last year. Yeah.
Didn't we do Baker versus Dan Campbell?
We did.
After the Cowboys got bounced?
That might be happening.
He's kind of the official quarterback of this show.
So stream every Baker game?
Yeah.
As long as they go?
Sure.
If they win Sunday and Minnesota beats Detroit Sunday night,
then we have Dan versus Baker.
Ooh.
Perfect.
It's kind of set up.
It's another Dan Campbell versus Baker again?
If the Vikings beat the Lions on Sunday night, yeah.
Because that's for the one seed, yeah.
And the loser is the five.
Well, that's great.
What an exciting game. Okay, because they'll get the one seed. Because that's for the one seed, yeah. And the loser is the five. Well, that's great. Yeah.
What an exciting game.
A 13 or 14 game-winning team is the five seed on the road.
So, Baker has to win Sunday.
They could still miss the playoffs.
Yes.
If they lose and other things happen.
But it's likely that they'll be in.
If they just didn't lose twice to Atlanta.
Baker loses some weird games, man.
He obviously throws five touchdowns.
Kirk Cousins had almost 1,000 yards against the Bucs alone.
Yeah, that was the only team I think he was good against this year.
Like, he's been terrible.
How did they lose to the Cowboys?
That's what I mean.
I mean, what are we doing?
It's baffling
How did the Cowboys beat the Steelers?
How did the Cowboys beat the Washington?
And then how did the Cowboys come out and look like they looked yesterday?
Just absolutely horrible.
Let's say Cowboy Talk brought to you by Elite Rides DFW because kind of when I think of a cowboy game,
that brings up Elite Rides DFW.
Luxury and reliability.
And they're great for going to like a cowboy game
or a Mavs or a Stars game.
Or let's just say sporting events, special
occasions, concerts, or business travel.
They have a fleet of clean, comfortable vehicles driven by professional chauffeurs.
I've driven in Elite Rides DFW a couple of times now, and they're fantastic.
They cover the entire Metroplex.
They are at eliterides-DFW.com.
They have a variety of sizes.
They got the huge SUVs.
So you can go to weddings and parties and milestone celebrations.
Maybe a nice bachelor party with Elite Rides DFW.

Somehow this game,
it must have been because of Christmas
and then Friday
and then Saturday.
But I was surprised to see the Fox A team on this game.
We got third leg Greg and Bro Davis.
Well, the B team, right?
Brady's A.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Gosh darn it.
It's tough.
Yeah, Brady was on Packers-Vikings.
That's right.
Okay, I'm like, why am I watching the A team here?
I forgot that Greg – I really like Greg Olsen, man.
Yeah.
I like that he's going to Twitter a lot and disagreeing with things that will happen
or giving these opinions that the A team didn't cover well.
Like he had a good hot take on something that happened in the Packers-Vikings game.
Really?
And Brady and Kevin Burkhart didn't really know what was going on
because the Packers went for two to be down by nine.
And as it happens, Olsen's like tweeting,
I love that they're doing that.
I mean, he's getting that A job back once Brady's out of there.
Okay, this doesn't make sense to play now, but I'm going to play it now.
This is why I love Greg Olsen.
this doesn't make sense to play now, but I'm going to play it now.
This is why I love Greg Olson.
Because, like, this isn't about hot sports opinions about the game or anything. But so they are in time-killing mode.
I don't even know if they do this, if it's not 30-7 or whatever it was at the time.
But it was like another punt, and then they decide,
you know, this is the time to do a tribute to some guy who died.
Okay?
And I marked this at first because it was funny to me
that there's a brawl on the field during this touching tribute.
Now, Bill Berge, the legendary Eagle, passed away this week.
We send our wishes to his family, prayers and wishes to the Berge family.
I don't know that this makes it during an exciting game.
They're like, what do we got?
Here's why I like Greg Olson.
Listen to Greg Olson.
After that play,
scuffle going in the corner here.
Flags have flied.
There's this huge brawl going on.
You didn't hear Greg Olson.
Like, Romo has to throw in his two cents.
Like, if Nance does a thingy like that, Romo's got it.
Let's not compare Greg to the worst color commentator we have going.
Great former Eagle.
Like, even he knows he doesn't know anything.
And Greg Olson is like, look, I don't know anything about this guy.
This ain't my game.
I'll let you do the touching tribute stuff
and pretend that you're sad over a guy you've never heard of either.
So pro Greg Olson at least there.
Give me that.
I don't know.
I'm not going to let you compare him to the worst.
Do you think Brady says anything about this guy?
I don't know.
Well, then let's go to the mid-level.
Does Mark Sanchez say anything?
Yeah, I think everybody lower does.
Jonathan Vilma.
I think they do.
We're about to have another dead guy after this brawl.
Sanchez would at least try to be funny.
Yeah, he is kind of funny.
Is he?
He doesn't get any good games.
I haven't seen a lot of Sanchez games.
He gets the worst games. There's something about him I kind of games. I haven't seen a lot of Sanchez games. He gets the worst games.
There's something about him I kind of like.
I don't know.
He flies a little loose on the games.
I don't get the NFL Sunday ticket anymore.
That's probably why.
So I don't get all games.
I just get the top games.
I think the last time we –
Yeah, I remember Sanchez from the Romo hurt year.
Red zone clips here and there. You get the – Yeah, no, he from the Romo hurt year. Red zone clips here and there.
You know, you get the...
Yeah, no, he was the Romo hurt.
In fact, Dak back then was talking about how Sanchez was instrumental to his development.
Or the Dak hurt, yeah.
Because Romo wasn't around much.
Yeah.
So here's a big problem I have with starting Cooper Rush.
Before you start, can we pause for sit-in?
All right, we're unpaused. How about that,
technology, KT? Yeah. That all happened in one second, but now there's somebody else sitting
on the couch. We welcome Ann and Bill. Bill, right? Ann's running a little late, but she's a lady,
and we changed the time on her.
That's a far drive, isn't it?
It is.
They're over by me.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Boy, Blake will tell you how long he has to drive every day.
That's not true.
Anyway, what were we just talking about?
Oh, Cooper Rush.
So the other, and while we're talking about third leg Greg,
I also thought he had a good point later in the game.
And it's what I was thinking throughout the game,
even in the beginning of the game.
And it's fourth down, and here comes the punt team.
A couple times now we've said this about this Dallas offense. You're down by 20.
He's going to run, run, smoke screen.
I think if Turpin catches that, he's got some action.
He's able to secure the ball, but they're going to have to push this thing.
They haven't shown any signs now with Tanner McKee coming in.
We'll see because they get some stops,
but this Dallas offense has to start generating some plays down the field.
It's going to have to come through the air.
Now, he was saying that because they were down by 20.
I was saying that kind of in the beginning of the game.
Like, what are we doing here?
First of all, what are we doing here with Cooper Rush?
And once you are in the game with Cooper Rush,
what are we, we're just,
okay, we've discovered that Rico Dowdle,
we should have actually been using him
from the get-go this season.
Okay, now, But you're acting like
this is a game that...
I don't know what you're acting like. There's no innovation in the offense
with the, I guess, the
slight... They're using Turpentine at tailback
nowadays sometimes, occasionally. There's some
innovation, but it took them a while to figure out that this is a dangerous player that you need to
get in the open field at times. But that's the definition of Trey Lance too. If Trey Lance has
anything, he can make things happen. He can be a dangerous player in the open field.
He's probably not a pocket-passing quarterback.
But let's see what he does have.
He might be one of your three or four best athletes on the team.
How many plays do you think are in the playbook for Trey Lance?
10?
15?
None.
Well, yeah, exactly, because we had some systems in play or whatever.
He was saying some packages that they would use.
Like, they should have had 40 or 50 plays ready to go the day they traded for him.
But this is the whole thing is they get him, they see him in practice, they understand that he sucks, and then they realize they just threw away a draft pick.
I think the 49ers, when they get the phone call from Jerry going,
hey, we'll give you a fourth, I think the 49ers started
cackling. They couldn't believe it. Like, oh my
God. Yeah. We'll take
it. And the Panthers probably did the same thing
with Mingo. Hell, what did Baker Mayfield cost?
A fifth? Yeah.
Or like a conditional fifth or something?
Like a conditional sixth that would turn into
a fifth? The funny picture going around right now
is Baker and Sam Darnold jogging
before a game, both in Panthers uniforms from two years ago.
Yeah.
As they continue to search.
It's crazy.
But yeah, the Cooper Rush thing, though, if you want him to open it up, though,
he will throw it into triple coverage 40 yards down the field.
Yeah, I don't think he's good.
I don't think Trey Lance is good either.
But, yeah, let's bring him in and do something with him.
I agree.
Get him out there at the same time as Cooper Rush.
What does it matter now?
Show that you have some kind of ingenuity.
Why do we need you, Mike McCarthy, as offensive genius,
if you aren't coming up with any wrinkles that aren't handoff twice
and then hope that the running back got three or four yards on those plays?
I think it was third and six on the second drive of the game, I think.
I think it was third and six, and we did a handoff.
No, that was right there in the second quarter.
But third and six, and we're just like, okay.
Like, dude, McCarthy annoys me for many reasons.
And I'm a Packers fan, so, like, I've seen too much.
I hated it when he was hired here.
He is a guy who is a very proud man.
He is a guy who thinks he's done nothing wrong.
And, like, he's a guy who thinks the offense is never his fault.
He doesn't like answering questions about the scheme.
He thinks it's all good if we do this thing my way,
then it's all going to work out.
And he's got a really good winning percentage
that he can just lean on forever.
But Mike McCarthy is not going to change anything he's doing.
So if they bring him back, okay, have fun.
I think it's hilarious.
Do we need to play the Jay Glazer thing now?
Should I do that now?
What are you doing?
So Jay Glazer's on the Fox postgame show.
With Mike McCarthy, you should know two things.
There are two reporters who are very tight with Mike.
One is Jay Glazer.
The other is Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network,
who used to cover the Packers.
He's the guy who did the barn puff piece on the NFL Network.
And the massage story?
The massage story, that's a different guy.
I think that was Tyler Dunn, I think.
Yeah, he's not tight with that guy.
That's the guy who said he was getting massages
when teams were having meetings.
Yeah, during some of the offensive meetings.
He had a massage chair in his office.
It's probably not as cut and dry as he's missing meetings to get a lot of massages.
Probably happened once.
But either way, it's funny.
Here's Jay Glazer on the Fox pregame show yesterday.
What's Mike McCarthy's future?
Look, Mike McCarthy, actually, him and all the coaches,
their contracts expire in two weeks.
So Jerry Jones is going to sit down with them, obviously,
probably the week after the season ends there.
But if they decide not to do something with Mike McCarthy,
Mike McCarthy is actually on other teams' coaching list
if the Cowboys decide not to resign him.
I think he will be the Cowboys coach next year,
and he deserves to be the Cowboys coach next year, and he deserves
to be the Cowboy coach. Really?
Rammering! Rammering!
Why is he still on there?
And then they get... Which one?
Terry.
Terry's definitely a bit...
And then they lose 41-7.
Bring him on back!
I think it's really
wild that over the last month,
let's go back to Thanksgiving,
it's been a big attitude of,
dude, these guys are fighting for Mike McCarthy.
I mean, what he's done to this locker room
and to really galvanize these guys and win some games,
give him another extension.
I'm like, well, how come they weren't fighting for him
in September and October?
Like, you lost to the Saints at home by 30 points and then the Ravens and then the Lions and the Eagles have smoked you twice. Aren't we trying to be like the Ravens and the Lions and
the Eagles? There's our measuring stick, not there. And it's not all on him. We all know it
starts with Jerry, but there has been a small percentage of people I think come out of the woodworks over the last month
and a half who will defend Mike
McCarthy a lot and
I don't know if that's like a smart
thing to do
we all know it starts with Jerry in building
the roster but also
maximizing that
the roster you can't say it all starts
with Jerry's a big problem if they won 12 games
the last three years,
well, then Jerry should get credit for that then too
rather than saying it's all on him.
Now, I think the 12 wins thing,
I'm stealing this from my buddy John Machoda,
but he's like, it starts with Micah.
Once they got Micah, they started getting 12 win seasons.
But I think it's really strange that now we're talking about
him having leverage
to choose his job next year
because so many NFL teams want him.
Where's that been?
That's out of nowhere.
And that's from
Mike McCarthy's buddy, Jay Glazer.
Let's take a look at that.
I mean, we've talked about this before,
but teams that will be looking
for a head coach.
Definitely.
Jets, Giants.
Chicago is one we kind of said maybe.
Ben Johnson.
Maybe.
No, I know Ben Johnson is the hot name for Chicago,
but that's one that might want McCarthy.
Like he seems Chicago-y.
He feels Midwest-y just looking at him.
He's a big old boy.
He'd be back in that division.
He has helped develop or, you know, been the hand at the helm
for a couple of good quarterbacks.
Old owners who don't know what's going on.
Now we have – yeah, they know him, though.
You know, people that know – we used to face him twice a year,
and they beat us all the time.
That's what Jerry did.
Yeah.
He ushered a young Aaron Rodgers into stardom.
We have a young quarterback we'd like ushered into stardom.
I like it.
Whereas the Ben Johnson thing,
I feel like if there is an argument to be made for what team would really want Mike McCarthy,
why would the Jets or Giants?
They don't have a quarterback.
They're both going to be looking for it.
He's not like a, I want to be part GM, like a lot of coaches.
Cleveland could be looking, but that's just a big mess.
They wouldn't go for McCarthy.
Indianapolis, now that they've failed again miserably at the end of a season
like they did last year, they keep barely missing the playoffs.
Shane Steichen could be out.
Jacksonville definitely I think will be looking,
but would they want McCarthy?
I mean, they've got the other version of him with Peterson.
How did they win the Super Bowl?
How did Doug Peterson and not even Carson went, the backup of Carson.
Nick Foles.
Nick Foles.
How did they win the Super Bowl against like the greatest coach
and quarterback of all time?
That's a shocking one to me.
Vegas, they don't want McCarthy, right? No. I doubt it. Greatest coach and quarterback of all time. That's a shocking one to me. Vegas.
They don't want McCarthy, right?
No.
I doubt it.
I would think they'd be a little more young, splashy.
Cliff or something.
Dion.
Yeah.
Dion, Cliff, Ben Johnson.
Although Ben Johnson, it feels like he's going to be able to pick where he wants to go.
Yeah.
If he goes anywhere, he may stay.
He stayed last year, right, over Washington.
I wonder if he regrets that now, knowing that they got Jaden Daniels.
Who knew, man?
No one knew Jaden Daniels was going to be awesome.
Yeah.
New Orleans is my other favorite. Yeah.
Okay, McCarthy coached there for a little bit.
Yeah.
Okay, so if he's got the choice to go wherever he wants,
like Glazer's reporting, I mean, he's got leverage.
So if Jerry doesn't want to give him an extension,
he would go choose any of those jobs?
Are any of those jobs better than the Cowboys job right now?
No.
Based on what?
Because honestly, I think he's pretty tired of this Jerry Jones circus.
Well, then he can go back to being unemployed then.
Like, we're in a world where he didn't want...
The Browns were going to give him the job if he kept Freddie Kitchens as his offensive coordinator.
And he said, nah, I'm not doing that.
And the Browns, okay, we'll go away then.
He interviewed for the Jets job. They get a phone call from peyton manning it's like you
got to get this adam gaze guy adam gaze takes the jets job and then we go to the barn and he ends up
here in 2020 and then he admits in the opening press conference that he didn't watch every game
and every play he just wanted the job.
I mean, that's – he's – there are good things about Mike McCarthy.
I'm just sounding like I'm crapping on the guy.
There are good things about him, like structurally,
but he is not going to be a guy who's going to be open
to letting someone else come call plays.
That's why he kicked Kellen out of here, which looks bad now.
Like, it's – The Saints have no cap
So he wouldn't go there
They're a terrible salary
The Bears might be a decent job
That is funny on the Kellen front
How he booted Kellen out
Because he didn't run the football enough
And then Kellen is about to set the league record
For rushing yards in a season
Now it helps to have Saquon In that offensive line, but still, it's funny.
When he was given – because the way this went down last year, too,
the season ends after the terrible Packers game, and everyone thinks,
look, this is over.
And I do contend if the Packers win that game like 17-10,
Dan Quinn's probably your head coach this year.
But when you're down 27-0 and the defense looks awful, Dan Quinn's not even in play anymore.
But Mike McCarthy sits there.
They do their evaluations.
They clean out the lockers.
And Jerry takes five days, like always, because they have the way they've done things since 1991 or whatever.
And they do it that way.
And then he announces that he's bringing mccarthy back and
then there's a media availability in a press conference and mike mccarthy says in that press
conference buy into us okay so we're buying into the cowboys we're back for another year and you
guys do nothing in free agency and then have a seven win season season or whatever it is. And most fans wanted it to be a four-win season at some point
because they didn't care.
It's amazing.
He's amazing to me because he has gotten by on Aaron Rodgers getting hot
that one year in the playoffs in a year that they shouldn't have even made the playoffs.
Like, they were the sixth seed that year when there were only six playoff teams
because Deshaun Jackson ran back a punt in another game that, like,
I think it knocked the Giants out of the playoffs and put them in.
Which is the worst thing for the Cowboys because that is another sign.
It happened, like, a couple years in a row.
I think the Giants did it one year, too.
Yeah.
Where the last playoff team to get in all of a sudden wins the Super Bowl.
They get hot.
The quarterback gets hot.
And that's why Jerry is content to be 8-8, 9-7, whatever.
Now it's adjusted.
There's one more game.
But the point is he just likes to be in the mix.
And they've famously said, just get in the tournament
because then anything can happen.
Well, yeah, true.
But that's their mindset.
For instance, it was their mindset going into this year
or going into last year's offseason.
You had two teams, the Eagles and the Cowboys.
We're both very, very good.
And the thought was, what do we do then moving forward?
We're both very, very good here.
One team is like like let's just keep
loading up let's keep adding saquon barkley is available at nowadays running backs like it's
you can really get running backs for this amount of money like a guy like this just a few years
ago would it cost us i don't know let's look at Zeke's contract.
Yeah, that's a terrible, but I can get Saquon for cheaper than that.
Let's go with Saquon Barkley.
You see Baltimore, but I'm just talking about Philly and Dallas right now.
And then you had one team that said, we're really, really good.
Well, I mean, even if we don't add anything, even if we subtract a little, we'll probably still be pretty good.
This was my argument for why they'll make the playoffs this year.
Seven teams is just too much.
There's always going to be a bad team in the playoffs.
Even if the Cowboys fall off a little bit, they're going to be in the playoffs.
And that's what Jerry's thinking.
And if you just get in the playoffs, well, then anything can happen.
Remember Aaron Rodgers?
Remember McCarthy?
I mean,
Jerry might look at it as McCarthy led a team that barely got in the playoffs to the Super Bowl.
He could do that again. So why do we add if that would take from our cash reserves?
Let's not do that. Let's drag our feet on the negotiating with Dak and CD. So we can legitimately tell the media we don't have any cap space.
Well, wait.
Could you have cap space?
Like, Jalen Hurts is...
I printed this off.
Where is it?
Their cap situation.
You know, Jalen Hurts makes like
$200 million or whatever,
that huge contract.
His cap hit is $13 million this year.
Where Dak's cap hit when free agency was going on was what, $40, $50 at the time?
Yeah, something like that.
Excuse me, because they didn't negotiate the long-term deal as of yet to bring the cap
numbers down in the first couple years like they do on these deals.
This cap number is 90 next year.
Whoa.
I mean, it'll get –
Obviously, they're going to mess around with it.
Yeah.
Yeah, and Jalen Hurts' cap number is probably 75 years from now.
Yeah.
But they'll mess with that.
They just keep pushing these things down.
There's ways to work this.
I heard you guys even, or Machota was yelling about,
you can't just spend, it's true, you can't just
spend anything, but the Cowboys could have.
Well, choosing who you
restructure as well. Same thing with CD.
CD at the time was
looked at as, this is going to be $30 million
this year. So we can't
do anything. How did they get
the Trayvon Diggs contract done in time?
How did they do that before the deadline? Trayvon dicks could have waited till he was the highest paid corner
and they didn't yeah he ended up getting hurt the year after they signed him and now he's going to
miss half of next year too like that looks like a bad deal they they gave michael gallup money
okay he plays a year not very good recovered from Then they cut him. He signs with the Raiders and then retires.
Like, they chose to pay a guy who retired a year later.
Like, they make bad decisions.
Jalen Smith.
Jalen Smith.
Dude, Michael Gallup was a terrible decision.
I mean, that was because of the Amari Cooper trade, yeah.
Yeah.
But that was like, the Amari Cooper and Stephon Gilmore, those moves, we love that.
Fifth rounders for those guys?
Wonderful.
Not the Amaris, but Stephon Gilmore and Brandon Cooks.
Sorry.
It's like, okay, you almost made up for the Amari Cooper thing by doing that.
So it's not like they can't have those conversations.
It's not like they're completely inept.
They're lazy.
Like, they're just content.
They don't turn over every stone to make things better.
And that's a McCarthy complaint for me.
I don't trust that he is going to turn over every stone
to fix the offense or make it better.
I just don't think that's going to happen.
And combine that with the ownership,
and we've got a shit show.
Well, not if it's not his idea.
Lance could have perhaps at least given some spice to the offense,
but because he didn't sign off on the deal,
he's not going to help Jerry with that.
Mike McCarthy is the DAC of coaches.
We've talked about this before.
Yeah, man.
If everything is perfectly in place,
if you've got studs at every position,
if you've got the highest paid guard, tackle, center, tight end, receiver,
quarterback, you know, like then we can start talking. Otherwise, any of that falls off and
well, I don't know. I don't know how to do different things. That's why you see the exact
same offense run when Cooper Rush comes in. They're different players with way
different abilities, we should hope, if you're paying one guy that much more.
Yet, you still kind of run the exact same offense.
Because that's what we expect. I'm running the offense as if I have Saquon
Barkley at running back. I'm a little surprised he didn't stand up
and tell whoever he needed to tell,
we're not giving Zeke any carries.
We're going to give Rico the ball 15 to 20 times.
But maybe he didn't see it, you know?
And no one thinks Rico is Saquon or Derrick Henry, right?
But, like, the idea that Mike kind of kept quiet on that in a contract year
was a little interesting to me.
There's other two very interesting things about MacArthur.
One thing I cannot stand is the fight argument, though,
that the players have been trying harder.
Dude, what NFL team has quit?
The Giants had the No. 1 pick, and they went and won yesterday.
Like, you can't even find an NFL team that has quit.
They scored 45.
Right, because the players out there are fighting for their own jobs.
Exactly.
So the idea, like, a lot of people have been throwing that there.
They didn't give up on him.
Okay, they did their job.
What does that mean?
I'll tell you what, a player that is not fighting for his own job,
I thought, quit a little bit yesterday.
And that's, did you notice that play with, what's his name, our guy, Micah?
Which play was it?
I think it was one of their touchdowns, or was it the touchdown that was called back?
There's been a couple plays where Micah has either looked aghast
or hasn't tried his hardest.
And I'm choosing to say he was tired.
847 left in the third Philadelphia touchdown, which was called back for holding.
Now this is when the, we've already lost Kenny Pickett.
Okay?
Yeah.
And then some guy named Tanner McKee comes in the game.
Apparently played for Stanford.
I searched this on internet.
If you guys are wondering how I know so much about Tanner McKee
I'm done with my knowledge on Tanner McKee right there
I've just given you all of it
So he comes up and lights up this vaunted defense that's not quitting
But I guess this is still Kenny Pickett maybe
The touchdown called back for holding but I guess this is still Kenny Pickett maybe.
The touchdown called back for holding,
but watch Micah kind of give up.
He's getting double teamed.
Like watch the play, 847 in the third,
and he just kind of stands there.
Then this is the play actually that knocked out Kenny Pickett.
So oddly enough, Micah ends up knocking him out of the game on that play, but he might've got the sack had he not kind of just watch him just stand
up. He just stands and stops running because, uh, he was rolling in the other side, the other pot,
uh, left side of the pocket. Mike is kind of getting double teamed on the left. Um, which
would be, you know, Kenny Pickett's right side and then he just
stands there and then once he has to scramble back the other side then micah you know re-engages and
actually knocks him out but the point is not everybody's just loving we already knew that
micah didn't love mike mccarthy because of the comments he made earlier this year.
He got his back again yesterday.
What do you mean?
Did you see that?
No.
Well, it's okay.
I mean, I think you guys have covered this, but a couple weeks ago,
remember when Dak did an interview randomly from his car?
Yeah, with Jory. And basically said, yes, we want Mike back.
Mike should get another chance.
and basically said, yes, we want Mike back.
Mike should get another chance.
And then Micah said that yesterday.
He said that McCarthy is his dog and hopes that he's back,
saying that it's not fair because everyone got hurt and he didn't get a clean run at this, even though it's year five.
I mean, isn't like – yeah, go ahead.
Go ahead.
As I say, isn't every, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. As I say,
isn't every,
I assumed everyone
just realized,
look, it's been five years.
Let's just do something else.
No matter if it's better
or worse.
Yeah, I think Jerry,
I mean, obviously
he hung on to
Garrett for so long
because he wanted
that to work
real bad
until it just became just too obvious it wasn't.
And then kind of the same thing, you know, three 12-win seasons,
they're right there every year.
And that'd be a lot, especially – they're not going to bring in a Ben Johnson
who has all these ideas about the way they want to do things
because things are done a certain way here, and that's just it.
And would a Ben Johnson want to do things because things are done a certain way here and that's just it and would have been johnson want to come here anyway you get no you get the most mediocre quarterback you get a pretty an aging somewhat diva wide receiver you got no running backs
you got a real up and down offensive line you got've got Jerry Jones over your shoulder. I don't know if this is a premier
coaching job of the NFL anymore.
Well, again,
let's say he has to
pick between the Jets, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
Jacksonville, Las Vegas, the Giants,
Chicago, New Orleans, or the Cowboys.
Let's say he had those options.
Which one would you take?
Yeah, probably the Cowboys.
Cowboys. You have Dak, you have CeeDee, probably the Cowboys. Cowboys.
You have Dak, you have CD, you have Micah.
None of these other places even have quarterbacks.
You could argue.
Do you argue that Jacksonville does?
I mean, they just paid him.
Yeah, Jacksonville does.
Cleveland's the biggest mess.
If you got brought in like a Shanahan where you got to also be the GM,
and I realize they have John Lynch, but Shanahan hired,
it was the same as the Belichick thing.
The Patriots, did they always have a GM or no?
Yeah, they had like Scott Pioli and whatnot. Yeah, Belichick, though, was the GM.
But he would hire the GM, ensuring that's the way your coach gets the players he wants.
It's a better system, really, if you think about it, to have the coach.
You're not the GM because that's a lot of work, but they should be kind of working at your behest.
I like it.
I like the Belichick-Shanahan system of the coach really is in charge of the GM
because the coach is so important in football.
But I'm just looking at the, yeah, obviously, you know,
the ability to start your own thing.
But if you believe Caleb Williams is the real deal, that's probably the job.
And he might be in a position.
This is why I don't buy that
other teams are craving
Mike McCarthy.
This is the PR machine working for
him again. He hired a new agent, by the way.
Don Yee. Tom Brady's
old agent. He hired him before
the season started.
And then, just to see
Jay Glazer reporting that in week 17
that he's got leverage to be a free agent.
Okay, so you're telling me if Jerry calls Mike McCarthy into the office
after next week's game and says,
Look, we'll bring you back as long as you turn over the offense
to a new play caller, a new offensive coordinator.
Mike McCarthy has got so many options out there that he could tell Jerry,
nah, man, I'm good.
I'm just going to go ahead and take another job.
I don't think Mike McCarthy has that.
I thought we just got rid of a play caller because we needed Mike McCarthy to do it.
Now we're going to do the other thing this year?
I mean, he's had two years, right?
Although in the first year, Dak was second in the MVP voting, right?
two years right although in the first year Dak was second in the MVP voting right so that's another thing about Mike McCarthy's offense that's very very weird to me is like it'll go
weeks being stagnant and then it'll have these little micro bursts of five or six weeks you're
like man the offense is cooking right now we're doing some new things but I don't know as a
you know watch all these teams or whatever,
but as a Packers fan, good God, the offense looks so different and great
and new every week with Matt LaFleur.
We see new stuff every single week.
And we don't see a ton of new stuff here.
And when we do, it's little things.
And it's deciding.
Like, how have they not thrown a slant route to Turpin again from the slot?
How has that not happened again?
Good point.
Like, the one time you tried it, he scored on it.
It's like, get him in the open field a little bit.
And just move him and use him.
And he doesn't have good hands.
Like, he's not a great receiver,
but he's one of your tools that you could use,
and it just doesn't fit what he does.
You know, and that's how it's going to be but i think it's very interesting that a week before black monday we've got one
of his buddies going on the pregame show and being like hey he's gonna have options you guys look out
and it sounds like it's all on mike it's not all on mike mike is fine go coach the saints dude i
don't know what to say like this is the most lucrative franchise in all of sports.
It should be nothing but the best.
The other thing is the highest paid coaches.
Andy Reid makes $20.
McVay makes more than $10.
All these guys make between $10 and $20.
McCarthy makes $4 million a year.
Jerry is really excited about the cash savings he could make
on bringing back Mike McCarthy.
That's why I think it's happening.
I absolutely think he's back.
I think it'll be like a three-year deal.
I think he's back.
I think Zimmer's going to retire and hang out with his hot model.
Even though you were maybe feeling good about the defense
over the last month before yesterday,
Zimmer may have got it all together.
Did Zimmer do a press conference last week? And
he's like, man, I'm just kind of tired. It's been hard. Oh, really? Okay. It's been tough this year,
man. The thought of sliding him over into the captain's, in between the pipes, that's not
going to work. Yeah. If Mike McCarthy gives Jerry the finger and goes to another team, like,
because that's the scenario, I think. i don't think there's a scenario where
jerry's not considering they don't want to interview anybody i never thought jay glazer
i thought he was kind of like a true insider i don't like the guys that you could just tell
their caa uh you know ties or their clutch sports tie that's why they report a certain way. That's too bad. I think he's pretty good, but that one was too...
McCarthy's...
He's been around too long.
It's easy to track his footprints here.
And Pellicero's the other one,
and he will always have a positive
and glowing review about McCarthy.
These reporters go on and editorialize now, too.
Especially Pellicero.
Yeah, and that's because
he's a text buddy
and he gets some
inside info.
They smashed the
watermelons and that
is what led the
Cowboys to victory.
Right.
I mean that was
three years ago.
They brought in
What a real thing.
Is it Gallagher?
Who does that?
We were honoring
the great comedian
Gallagher.
I think he said
we were honoring him.
He just died. Trey he said we were honoring him. I think he just died.
Trey Lance did get in the game.
Yeah.
Immediately airs it out for two yards.
Then he was able to hand it to Zeke,
who plowed ahead for another two.
If you want to preview it next week, there you go.
And then, if you're wondering,
how does Trey Lance finish this,
he then ran out of bounds for a sack.
That was not a yellow ball at all, man.
Dude, throw it.
He escaped a couple guys.
Okay, you did have a chance to avoid loss of yardage and throw it away.
But, yeah, with that great athleticism,
he used it to escape two sacks to run out of bounds to actually get them a sack.
Just no player got it.
I mean, look, we can't be hard on him.
Small sample size, right?
Oh, no, that's his entire career.
He's played like 100 snaps of football in his life, and he's 26.
Kenny Pickett wears gloves on both hands.
That's because they're too small to grip the football.
So it makes his hands bigger?
It gives him better grip.
Like he gets the M&M costume from Halloween and wears those big gloves?
He's wild.
He was a first-rounder.
Forget about that.
He was a first-rounder?
Late first round?
Yeah, Steelers.
I mean, he looks like a Pittsburgh kind of a strung out drug guy.
Went to Pitt.
He did the fake slide thing that was cool.
Oh, that's right.
You know.
When he was at college.
Yeah.
For some reason, he looks like a West Virginia quarterback to me.
Yeah, I could see that.
Yeah.
But.
He kind of looks like a goober.
Yeah, I could see that.
Yeah.
But.
He kind of looks like a goober.
The guy they brought in, Tanner McKee,
the funny moment was when A.J. Brown caught a touchdown pass and then launched it into the stands.
That was awesome.
And then Tanner McKee's over there, oh, that's my first touchdown pass.
Mr. Brown, you threw my ball.
They went and got it back and negotiated.
Yeah.
Did you see who?
Huh?
Did you see who had to go negotiate?
Who?
Dom.
Oh, they sent Dom?
The security guy.
I did see the picture when the fan was mouthing, like, I got you.
I got you.
It was sweet.
It was all so Philly.
It was awesome.
It was sweet.
It was all so Philly.
It was awesome.
The Tush Push.
Even works with Pickett and no Jason Kelsey.
Why doesn't every team do this?
Other teams try.
And how come they can't?
Like, how does this work?
It works from a yard and a half away.
It's not just a couple inches.
Micah's getting horny on that play.
Yeah.
Offsides a couple times.
You almost have to be offsides to stop it.
It's amazing.
I think it has to be a guy that's under the age of 26 or 27.
I do think Stafford and Kirk Cousins can't do it.
Kirk Cousins probably can't explode.
But the QB sneak. Brady was 90% at the QB sneak.
And he was 40.
You're just trying to find that little spot.
It's for sure a winning play, and we see a lot of fourth and one.
Just, yeah, there's the predictable handoff to either side
or try to roll out.
Or the crazy pitch.
The crazy pitch.
Oh, yeah, let's get wide here.
That's what Zeke did, I think, on his first carry, didn't he?
It was second and three from the five,
and Zeke lost four yards.
I like the one with the tight end.
We don't.
The Cowboys don't do that.
But the tight end runs like he's in motion
and then stops right behind the center and takes the snap.
And then you find out that the tight end was like a quarterback in high school,
so he knows how to get under the gooch and get the ball and plow ahead.
What will Zeke's last play be?
Because next week is his last play, right?
Yes, which sucks because we had the perfect last play.
We had the perfect last play for Zeke's career.
They'll never let him do that again.
I hope it's an extra point and he gets to kick it.
He gets to kick it?
Yeah.
Brandon Aubrey off the upright.
But Joe Davis acted like, ooh, 61 yards.
Did you hear when he – let's see.
Where did that –
How about this distance from Aubrey?
61 yards like i don't think that's that exciting for brandon it's not yeah he's well it's well established now he makes them all over
50 and he just needs a chance for the uh record he's going to get it at some point and he wasn't
hurting for yardage that hit pretty far hit pretty high up on the upright.
Oh, yeah.
They kept remarking on that.
The doink.
The game.
The early pick six.
They had that microphone on there.
That was awesome.
And then my last note that I wanted to bring up was the Troy Pride is a player.
He plays for the Cowboys.
I did not know that.
Are you familiar with him?
No.
Yeah.
Did you see, though, when he got taken down by Sidney Brown,
like, back of the end zone, and he got tackled,
not just tackled, but, like, body slammed down past the artificial turf on the cement.
And then, like, multiple ejections happened after this.
And Sidney Brown, the wrestler who slammed him onto the cement,
then is complaining to Lady Ref about, like, what are you doing, dude?
He might have hit you first somewhere along the line,
but I don't think you can complain about this ejection.
Like, it feels like that was a really, really obvious one, dude.
We all just watched you slam the guy on cement.
It was pretty funny watching her try to separate people.
And the old guy.
I mean, the old ref got trucked in that as well.
I didn't notice that.
Sidney Brown had so much hair, too.
It's like, if you were to do the it-wasn't-me thing or whatever, too,
you're like, dude, you're the only guy with hair that long.
That was fun.
There wasn't a lot of fun stuff in the second half, so that was fun.
Oh, and I guess the
other notes are that
Rico got 1,000,
which, you know.
Hell yeah.
Not that impressive
and not that exciting,
but...
I think they're
building a statue
outside the star.
Yeah, they should.
But, of course,
the 2,000,
that's still a big deal,
Saquon,
and he does it in 16 games.
Yes.
Boy, it sets up perfectly for next week.
Who do they play?
They have the Giants.
Oh, the Giants, okay.
He could break the record against the Giants.
Well, there's a question, though.
Playoff seeding is set.
For them.
Boy, I think you'd go for it.
I mean, you should have gone for it yesterday.
You have an older running back, though.
You have your sights, certainly.
Let's say this is your team.
What do you want?
Like, we want to see him try and get it.
The record.
Yeah.
You want it for your team?
Yeah.
Of course.
So, you want more tread off those tires heading into the playoffs
where you hope to play three more games?
I mean, that was – you'd think that record would never be broken.
And then Saquon's first year with your team?
I don't think anybody was saying that record would never be broken.
Really?
The way that running backs are going and the running games are fading?
Dickerson's record was on a 16-game schedule,
and this would be a 17-game schedule.
Yeah, you'll always have that.
Although Dickerson broke OJ's record, which was on a 14-game schedule.
And we're going to go to an 18-game schedule eventually anyway.
Yeah, it may not matter.
It may not matter.
I didn't understand.
When they pulled him yesterday, I was like, they should at least –
they pulled him yesterday, I was like, they should at least – they pulled him early.
There was still, to me –
Was it the fourth quarter yet?
It was early fourth quarter, which means when you're playing the Cowboys,
there's still a good 50, 60 yards out there for you to get.
Oh, yeah.
And then if you could make next week's game be like, okay, we just need 40 yards,
you could knock it out and kind of have the best of both worlds.
Yeah, I would think he would want to.
I was confused by that.
I mean, it's the Giants.
I saw him on –
They let him go.
Yeah, he might.
He may not think like that.
I saw him get asked about this yesterday, and I forget where.
Because – and he was just like, I haven't really thought about it.
2000's cool.
And he did the generic, I'm just blessed to be in this
opportunity. Football was a dream
as a kid, which made me think he's not playing
next week. But
to need 101
yards, that's going to take a half.
At least against the Giants, I would think.
Maybe more. I thought they
could have knocked off 50 more yards yesterday.
And then make it easy next
week. It's an easy decision.
Yeah, we'll play him for a minute.
I just have one thing from the postgame.
It's from Micah.
And you were alluding to that play where he kind of gave up.
I think he got hurt on that play.
Okay.
He said he took a shot to the ribs from Saquon.
I think that was the play that you were talking about.
Now, it doesn't excuse him stopping, but I think maybe that led to it.
Okay.
I stand corrected.
I thought he had a really funny answer here because they were –
I think it's Saad here.
Sets him up.
You've been 12-5.
No, no, no.
Go back.
The difference in the game.
Just why did the defense give up so many plays?
I mean, you look at their play.
I mean, they had two big runs and three good deep shots.
Other than that, we made them earn it.
So, you know, if you take away their five touchdowns, we were right there.
This whole answer is real.
I mean, you look at their play.
I mean, they had two big runs and three good deep shots.
Other than that, we made them earn it.
So we really take away the scoreboard.
It was about five plays that decide this game.
And you hate to say that because –
Guys, just take the touchdowns away.
That's all you have to do.
Take away the scoreboard.
He's great.
He will say anything.
He just spins it.
I'll only pull this because I want to play you something else from McCarthy.
I'll go out of order.
Here's McCarthy.
Of course, the last question.
McCarthy, by the way, did not talk very long after this game.
Typically goes about 15 minutes. He went six.
This is how it ended.
Are you with the trade late? Did you think about
going to the early? I did the series before.
Yeah.
And looking next week?
Yeah, Clarence, I'm not there yet.
Thank you.
All the reporters pining. Can we see more Trey?
Can we see more Trey? I don't know. I don't think he'll play much next week.
Lance?
Yeah.
I mean, if he wasn't playing this week, why would he next week?
What's the point?
I think they'll go Cooper for first half maybe he'll play, second half maybe.
But again, though, there was no reason to play this week.
I mean.
There was no reason.
And then you're down by 20 at the halftime anyway.
Jerry yesterday before the game, you know, he does the Christie Scales interview.
And he said something like, this is a huge game for us.
You know, it would mean so much for these players
and this team moving forward into next season.
I'm like, you mean on the roster that will have 30 new players
and probably –
I think he's right. I think the momentum that you have 30 new players and probably i think he's right i think the momentum
that you could have built up uh starting yesterday would have been great you know what maybe momentum
is a thing because the team started this season like ass so they definitely ended last january
like ass so they tried to get mccarthy to answer a couple big picture things like that you know how
do you go from 12 wins three years in a row to this?
Is it disappointing?
And he's all like, I've got one more game.
I'm not thinking about the offseason yet.
He's just kind of in the moment.
He understands there's one game left.
Micah, on the other hand.
One, we're going to have to get healthy.
I mean, we got, you know,
three or four starters who aren't coming back to mid next season.
So we got to plan for that.
We got to get healthy.
We got to keep coming together.
It's going to be a tough point.
But as far as the division, I mean, it's going to be tough.
I look at Jaden James as a franchise quarterback.
So I'm going to be facing him for the next 18 years of my life.
And you got Hurts, who's a franchise guy.
Then he just runs down the division.
He loves it.
The Giants are going to get their guy in the draft,
and he's just talking big picture.
He loves the NFC, dude.
He loves the NFC.
I love his knowledge of football, man.
He knows the rest of the league.
He's watching games.
He's obviously reading contract negotiations.
I was really mad that the Giants won yesterday
because I really wanted them to just get the number one pick and take Shadur.
No, I don't want to see him.
Let's just have a fun division.
Yeah, it would be fun.
And then they won.
Idiots, what are you doing?
You didn't have to do that.
That's why you don't want to play Drew Locke, man.
Does the other guy hurt?
DeVito?
Why isn't DeVito playing?
I think DeVito was just their tank plan.
Well, yeah.
Why aren't they still in that mode?
I actually think he got hurt, yeah.
They were all tight.
Yeah, enough to not, I don't know, maybe they're trying to win.
I don't know.
No, they're not trying to win.
I got a little audio. We'll to win. I got a little audio.
We'll end Cowboy Talk with a little audio.
Pam Oliver?
Oh, no.
Great.
Not so pilled up.
I think the early game helps Pam.
Oh, yeah?
She was not sundowning.
So here we have a term I learned after the debate this year. Sundowning.
The Rizzler.
The first one was kind of funny just because something was happening behind her and she can't just do her report without me.
Yeah, Joe. Kenny Pickett, who is dealing with a rib injury, comes into this game fully confident that he and his experience will be an asset for the team today.
What is happening?
Pickett started 24 games for the Steelers.
So there was a replay going on, and they showed it later,
like Greg showed it and broke it down.
One of the Cowboys players just pushed over.
Pickett was rolling left looking for a receiver, Broke it down. One of the Cowboys players just pushed over a picket,
was rolling left looking for a receiver,
and the receiver slash running back,
somebody was in the flat there and just pushed him down.
Like, hey, what if you can't throw to him now?
And the crowd was reacting to that.
But I just thought it was interesting.
They only threw to her three times.
And I want you to try and decipher what prep she did this week, okay?
So the first report, I just want to let you hear the beginning of the first report again,
and then we'll play the second report.
So this is the first report.
Yeah, Joe, Kenny Pickett, who is dealing with a rib injury.
Oh, okay.
So, and this is what she's had all week to prepare,
because this is her first opening report, right?
Right.
But the first report was...
Yeah, Joe, Kenny Pickett, who is dealing with a rib injury.
Okay.
Just want you to...
That was the first report.
They sent it to her again.
Yeah, Joe.
Kenny Pickett settling in nicely
into that second half.
I asked Mike McCarthy,
what do you do to get him out of rhythm,
disrupt him a little bit more,
and he skipped the question altogether.
He was too furious with his own team,
saying,
we cannot turn over the dang ball.
Edit.
As far as Nick Sirianni goes... Oh, okay.
I think she's intimating there that he...
He probably said damn ball. He said
a bad word. But
again, let's just remember
the way she started the first report
was
like this.
Yeah, Joe, Kenny Pickett, who is dealing with the...
Okay, her second report.
Yeah, Joe, Kenny Pickett settling in nicely. Her second report.
Her third report.
What did she prep this week?
She talked to Kenny Pickett.
On Zoom, on Wednesday.
That seems about it.
Now, we have another character that we followed throughout the years.
We like to call him Third Leg Greg because that's what he rapped about
when he was in college,
about his third leg being,
he was impressive, apparently.
Something to do with,
I can't relate.
Anyway, so we've also noticed that he,
sometimes we'll talk in a choppy manner and it seems that he would
even pause where it's not totally
necessary at times and that's the way he talks when breaking down a play. We've called him Buffering Greg.
So while he's talking, occasionally it stops and the spinning wheel happens
and then it starts back up again.
You gave me one that I heard early in the game,
but I don't count this as Buffering Greg.
I'm going to play it, and I'm going to tell you why I disagree with it being Buffering Greg.
Okay, and I'll tell you why I hate it.
Well, there was so much talk about how the game changed against Washington last week
when Jalen Hurts went down.
But remember, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, he was ejected for two personal fouls.
And you see him here.
He just falls off Jake Ferguson.
And Cooper Rush just flat out doesn't see him and hits him in the face mask,
and he's able to outrun the offensive line.
You can tell he was disappointed to leave that game last week.
He felt like he let his teammates down in the fourth quarter down the stretch
and makes a big play here early.
Okay, where I don't really call that buffering Greg.
He only had one real buffering.
It was when he falls off and said something.
But when he can throw a but
and
I hate that.
And he will throw that in there
which indicates
I'm going to keep talking.
Don't interrupt me.
Yeah, I'm not done.
But it also does tell you I'm not done.
Whereas this, I think, is true buffering Greg
without the ands and the buts.
And Kenny Pickett, he was a little slow getting up.
Watch the hit here.
Comes in late out of the right side of your screen.
Just so late.
I mean, Diggy Zua just took like three, four steps
before he made contact there in the pocket with Pickett.
Goes from looking like it's going to be a Deron Bland pick,
and now they march off 15 yards,
and they're on the plus side of Dallas territory.
Yeah, that's buffering Greg in its truest form.
I just can't stand when he ends every single syllable with N.
N.
But.
N.
But.
Yeah.
Every mistake that Brady makes is getting amplified now, though,
because Greg is seen as really good.
Can I play you a Tom Brady mistake?
Please.
This is at the beginning of the game yesterday, Packers-Vikings.
Yeah, it's a big road challenge.
They've got four losses as your Green Bay does.
Two of them to the Lions.
They're a good team.
The Eagles, they lost to them.
They're a good team.
And they lost to the – what did they lose to the other one?
Anyway, they've got a big opportunity
to know it goes into corrects interesting and then there's another one too i gotta say like
tom brady says the word sacks weird have y'all have y'all noticed this no well they've done such
a good job in protection today sam may have a little sense of comfort that at some point
you got to get rid of the
ball. He's held onto the ball
quite a bit this season and he's taken
a lot of sacks.
Sacks. Sacks.
Sacks.
Sacks.
I don't know. Who's the
other team that they lost to? I didn't prep
that hard because I'm making a lot of money.
That's right. He needs a Bob.
Troy Aikman pays Bob on the side.
Still?
To this day?
Even on Monday night?
I don't know. I miss Troy and Joe on
Sundays.
Alright, the Cowboys are bad.
The Dumbs are
the Dumbs are bad.
Pop-Tart Nation, how we feeling?
I want to welcome everyone to the trophy presentation for the 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl.
We are being doused with Pop-Tart confetti up here.

congratulations to the Iowa State Cyclones on winning the Pop-Tart Bowl.
Thank you.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone.
Should we have Pop-Tart Bowl talk later in the week?
Man, I didn't know it was that bad.
A lot of stuff going on there, which is pretty vague.

Lane Ingram, DF therapist, and good dude.
Go puppet!
So later in the week, we're going to do a show Friday.
Jake will be back.
KT, you say you and Danny and Jasmine are doing Tuesday and Thursday?
That's what I'm told.
Will you mention to Jasmine that we do live spots on Thursday?
I feel like that's not my job.
He's got a point.
I was asking him as a friend.
I said in a very nice fashion, would you mention to him or her?
He's not asking for very much.
Just write me a sticky note of what I need to tell,
and I will deliver.
You could just say yes and then not do it.
I would appreciate that even more.
That's more my style, actually, yeah.
I like it.
And then apparently between now and Friday is New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and stuff.
And Blake wants to promote some special stuff that he's worked on.
stuff that he's worked on.
We have put together a 24 hour
video of Dumb Zone Highlights
that will run on New Year's Eve
and New Year's Day live on our YouTube,
Twitch, and Twitter page.
How long is it?
24 hours.
So I'm going to run it
twice.
Is that what you're hinting at?
No, I don't know.
I thought the comedy was... mind go ahead 24 hour video uh we're gonna run it on back-to-back days uh i've even
cut it in half uh that way if you want to tune in how long was that what go ahead What? Go ahead. I'm not sure what he's doing.
Half of 24.
Just never mind.
I'm doing a show for myself.
Just keep plowing ahead.
I guess what I should have said is I cut it in half and rearranged it,
so if you want to tune in at the same time on both days, you will get to see different content.
You did all that?
Nice job. You did it. That's some edge work. I was trying to build to it. High did all that? Nice job.
You did it.
That's some edgy work.
Trying to build to it.
Highly unnecessary, but yeah.
Well, I'm trying to think of the viewer
that maybe you just want to watch at 1.30 both days.
Well, you're going to get two different...
Incredible.
Things going on.
This guy.
Yeah, it was a lot of work.
Big shout out to the interns, Michael Snap.
Drop Beth helped a little bit.
Intern Rachel helped.
It was a big team effort.
We got a 24-hour video of good dumb zone stuff from 2024.
Jack didn't help at all?
Jack's more of a day-to-day guy.
Okay.
Oh, no.
No, it's not a bad thing.
He's our daily intern.
There's a lot of stuff to do day-to-day, which he did most of the load there. But Michael Snap, he's been working on this not a bad thing. He's our daily intern. There's a lot of stuff to do day to day, which he did most of the load there.
But Michael Snap, he's been working on this for a couple months.
So, yeah, happy to put it out.
It'll be fun.
And we'll have some live-ish programming on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day if you want.
You said back-to-back days, so that's 48 hours.
Yep, two 24-hour videos.
Unbelievable.
But the second one is just a little out of order. He cut it in half. He 24 hour videos. Unbelievable. But the second one
is just a little
out of order.
He cut it in half.
He cut it in half
and then put the front
on the back.
That way you're
And where can we
find this again?
Internet.
It's our YouTube page, right?
YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter.
Well there you go.
Why is that?
Just Fox 4 just airing.
Jake may be joining us at some point.
He is on a little mini family vacation somewhere in central Texas.
Apparently, this time he took his family,
so I don't think he's going to the same place he was at for a month.
That's probably good.
It's his phone this time.
Actually, maybe he took his family there.
Like, I've wanted to long take my family to Oxnard.
Like, hey, this is where I've gone for a week every year for 20 years or whatever.
I'd like you to have fish tacos and see where I do this or that or where the crute works or whatever.
By the way, the calendar caused me a little bit of problems.
We have this dumb zone calendar, which is available on our website.
But my wife didn't know this existed, and then she's leafing through it.
She's like, what is Dan falls in love with Indian lady at gas station?
Darn it.
And it was hard for me to lie to her and say, ah, that's just the guys saying stuff.
I didn't really fall in love with some Indian lady, but I did.
I ran into her again this weekend.
So she's on the phone, as always.
That's redundant.
Right?
We've already determined every Indian gas station worker, male or female, is usually on the phone.
Male, I would say that guy always has the real overt Bluetooth thing hanging out his ear and always talking at 100 miles an hour.
This lady is FaceTiming with someone.
Okay.
And just set the FaceTime another Indian lady down when she had to deal with me.
And I just found that really weird because I hate FaceTiming.
Like, I feel like everything growing up for me would be depictions of what the future will be.
And growing up for me was before the iPhone existed.
And so the future, anything, like back to the future will be and growing up for me was before the iphone existed and so the future anything like back to the future you walk inside your house you press a button and you take a call
on the big screen right there that's how things will be because in the future everything will be
video and we're going to have video calling and now that we actually have the ability to video call all the time, we don't really do it a lot.
Because we like the not,
I think we like the audio medium.
We like being able to roll our eyes
or just kind of lay here
or do the rolling dice thing,
make funny visuals with your friends
when your mom is talking to you or something.
You want to talk on the phone while you're doing other stuff.
Yeah, and you don't want people to see.
No, you don't want to stare.
Because, yeah, I'm organizing stuff, I'm cleaning up,
I'm whatever, while I'm talking on the phone.
But I think that would be disrespectful
if I was doing that and you could see me
doing that and it makes
it look like I'm not paying attention to you.
Which I half am.
KT's doing the news for us today.
Here's Jay with the dumb self-reviews.
Do we have a sponsor for the news?
I can't remember.
Let's look.
No, no sponsor today.
All right.
Jimmy Carter died yesterday at the age of 100.
Got hit by a bus.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, he was out jogging.
No, I'm just kidding.
He was a bike.
He had the whole yellow thing on, the tight tights.
He can ride a bike, but Biden can't?
That's right.
Well, obviously Jimmy Carter can't either.
Not anymore.
And honestly, no, it's been a while.
He's actually been in hospice since early 23.
That's been two years, not 88.
My whole life he's been in hospice.
Now, the thing that's interesting about this,
did y'all see him when they wheeled him out for the eclipse?
Yeah.
I mean, I thought he was dead then.
It was like a mummy.
It was really terrifying It does make me question a little bit
My desire to live to age 100
But I'm sticking with it
I want to be just like Jimmy Carter
I want you to wheel me out for something
For what?
Just something
Just I want you to blow the candles out for me
On my 100th birthday
And then wipe off my mouth
Because I'll be drooling.
You want to be that?
Yeah.
Lips chapped.
I want to make the news.
I want to be on the news.
Because you're old?
I want to be the oldest living podcaster.
I want you on the news telling us the secret to getting older.
Yeah.
I'll be like, I have a cigar and a shot of whiskey every day.
No, they're not going to put you on the news because you're going to say salmon and broccoli and no carbs.
Pot.
Okay, that'll get you on the news.
Barijuana gummy.
I hope you're still doing bits at 100.
If you said salmon and broccoli, that would not be great.
That's not what we sent the person to interview for if we're at the TV station.
Right.
They don't want to hear that.
They want to hear some weird stuff.
Yeah.
Some decadent things.
Crazy sex.
Yeah.
Because you've never heard someone say, I've just been eating right.
I'm very healthy.
Yeah.
And that's why i live to 100
i go to pound town three times a day it's always something really weird but i think this story does
give us the opportunity blake on today's show like because you'll put this on uh the website
or whatever and oftentimes it'll have a picture associated with it what about the picture of the
bidens and the carters It's the best thing ever.
Okay.
Dude, anytime we can use that picture, this is probably the last time we can use it.
It's so good.
Until Joe Biden dies, like next week.
I did not realize that Joe Biden was that big.
He's not.
Or the Carter's small.
He's not.
It's not that?
No.
Oh, yeah, no.
That's just a weird fishbowl lens thing going on.
Jill was huge, too.
They were massive, yeah.
In this little dollhouse.
Yes.
Jimmy and Rosalyn in their little chair.
They say you shrink when you get older, though.
Yeah.
I know my mother-in-law looks tinier and tinier every time I see her.
Okay, now I'm pulling up the picture because didn't Joe Biden and Jill, aren't they on a knee?
Yes.
For the anthem?
Yeah.
Let's see.
Why are they on a knee?
Dude, that is the craziest photo ever.
And Jimmy's leaning into Jill and Rosalind's leaning into Joe like they had a wife swap going on.
Oh, it's beautiful.
He did an interview with Playboy back in 76.
I don't know if you remember this, Dan.
Probably not.
So Jimmy Carter was running against Gerald Ford.
And he got asked about this in the debate because Jimmy Carter was very open about his faith and Christianity and all that.
But he did an interview with Playboy.
And in that interview, this is before, you know, this is on the campaign trail.
One thing that he mentioned was not being afraid of dying by assassination.
Because I guess that came up a lot in the 70s after, you know, not 10 years after Kennedy got shot in the head.
So he's doing the interview, he's talking about that because I believe in God, so I'm not worried about dying by assassination.
And then he starts going into detail about his Christianity and talking about sin and redemption.
And then he said, quote, that he had committed a lust in his heart.
He had committed adultery in his heart many times.
So that comes out, and that's all anyone wants to talk about, because if it was something
pertaining to sex in that time, I guess it was like a big deal, especially for a presidential
candidate.
So he's thinking about having sex with someone that's not my wife.
Yeah.
Okay.
He said that in the interview, and then he got asked about it during the debate,
and he almost lost the election.
Now, he ended up winning by just a skosh over Gerald Ford,
and I think Bob Dole.
But isn't it crazy?
Are you saying, like, now it could be grabbed him by the pussy audio comes out?
Yeah, right?
Or
And he's like, you know, I once thought about a woman
Was it a foreign concept in 1976
That if you went to tickle the pickle
While thinking of someone else
That could lose you an election?
Maybe if you wear religion as your calling card
Yeah
You know
Yeah, maybe we just don't talk about it, right?
I thought that was kind of funny.
I have loved the internet.
Recently connecting what Jimmy Carter's been alive for.
Jimmy Carter got to see both Babe Ruth in person and Hawk Tua.
In fact, I saw a Babe Ruth-related one.
In fact, I saw a Babe Ruth-related one that Babe Ruth had like 430 home runs during Jimmy Carter's lifetime.
No current major league player has that many home runs.
Wow.
No active major league player.
KT, did Jimmy Carter get to witness pablo picasso okay so he's 100 to 1924 i would say no are you asking or do you know all right no i know this is our bit on the show no
jimmy carter was 49 when Picasso died.
Jesus.
Wait, Picasso died in the 70s?
Picasso saw the Godfather win the Academy Award. He saw the speech.
He saw the Native American lady that came and accepted the award for Marlon Brando.
Did you know that happened?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That popped up again because of Killers of the Flower Moon
and Lily Gladstone and all that stuff.
All right, that's enough.
Good job, Jimmy.
Break-ins.
He's dead.
All right, so Luca's home got broken into Friday night.
$30,000 worth of jewelry stolen, and I can tell you what that was.
$4,000 was a necklace.
There were three earrings worth about $14,000,
and then four rings worth about $5,000.
There's a few more.
Why just three earrings?
Yeah, that's just what the that's what
wfaa got to and reported so they uh they broke through the backmaster bedroom and this happened
friday night sometime between 5 and 9 p.m which i'm like how do we not have security camera footage
um the mavs played at at 8 Friday night in Phoenix.
No one was home, and Luca was not with the team Friday night
because he's hurt.
Yeah, wouldn't you think
if you had a Luca mansion,
you've got security cameras all over the place.
Ring doorbell.
And mall cops.
Every window, every door.
Yeah.
Doesn't he have
two or three Siberianian huskies too yeah he's got a few dogs
or are they gone too i guess maybe they're with the wife when because you know it's also not just
the family in these situations there's there's other caretakers i wonder if they knew it was
lucas house well they just this is where it gets interesting to me
Because this is
After that happens
Dallas Morning News reports that Tyler Sagan's home
Was broken into sometime earlier
In the year
Before he got hurt
Because apparently he's out four to six months
I don't really follow the Stars until the playoffs
Front runner Yeah whatever So that comes out and then months. I don't really follow the Stars until the playoffs.
Front runner.
Yeah, whatever.
So that comes out and then you find out this morning
breaking news.
Dak Prescott's
fiance
or wife
mother of his
child and future child
Sarah Ramos she had tens of thousands of dollars future child, Sarah Ramos.
She had tens of thousands of dollars worth of items stolen from her
when she went to her Pilates class on Thursday
and left the door unlocked in her car.
I was like, don't try to lump those stories together.
So one of these is not like the other.
Yes.
And it's getting lumped in with Luca and Tyler Sagan's.
It's like, no, she was just going to Pilates class and it was raining.
What did she have stolen?
She had, this is kind of weird.
So it was designer handbags and wallets from Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada.
Also cash and computer software.
What?
Estimated to be about $40,000 in value.
It's like a hard drive?
It's a lot of Norton.
Software, yeah.
It's not hardware, it's software.
I don't know.
So she returns to her vehicle after the Pilates class and she's like, what?
But it says in the police report,
she said it was raining outside,
and due to haste,
she forgot to lock her vehicle door.
Oh, no, my Microsoft Word is stolen.
What are we going to do?
I've known dudes who have gotten their car broke into,
and they will pump up that official report on...
Oh, yeah, I had my stereo in there.
Yeah.
I was actually taking it.
I just had bought whatever.
I definitely had my iPod stolen one time.
Just someone smashed the window on my car.
But I had my iPod up in the tray.
This was like 2007 when iPods were cool. Although I love an iPod still. Yeah. How about had my iPod up in the tray. This is like 07 when iPods were cool.
Although I love an iPod still.
How about a nice iPod Mini?
But you know it doesn't hold...
Did you ever have one of those? I didn't.
Flip it on your jeans?
It didn't carry enough for me. I needed more storage.
Because
every song I have in my
library ever,
I want to put it on the iPod and just put it on shuffle and see where the day takes me.
That's an adventure for me.
I had too many bits and production discs.
I would end up with Technobed or News Open.
I got a lot of that stuff.
news open.
I got a lot of that stuff.
Dude, at iHeart, they were doing some construction and there was one room with a production
studio that had all of those discs.
And I kept telling him, okay,
I need to go get all those discs because
someone's just going to throw them out.
I kept telling myself to do it. I just never went
and grabbed them all off the wall.
I could have had 60 or
80 or 100 production discs.
No, I have that. Somebody
gave, an old engineer gave that to me
at Keyless years ago.
But I have found
that if you use one,
YouTube will
like, oh, that is copy, like
even that bed. Yeah.
That fart sound. TM
Century Network bed
or whatever is, yeah.
It's like the seven production farts are in there,
and they're all used in that one episode of The Sopranos.
Yeah.
It's all the same ones.
Now, WFA has a security expert.
Didn't know this.
His name is Doug Deaton. And if I am a family member of anyone who is rich and famous,
Doug Deaton scared the shit out of me.
Listen to this.
Let me...
Holy moly.
Is that because of...
Yeah, it is.
Just take him off the stage.
Sorry.
This is only 13 seconds long.
Go ahead.
They will often follow your family members from stores, from the supermarket, from the mall.
The biggest thing that I would advise them to do is to assume they are being observed by professionals because they are.
They're being followed.
If you are an athlete in the FW that has a lot of money, you are being followed.
Now, here's what the FBI has said because of all this.
This is wild.
The FBI, because this also has happened, Mike Conley of the T-Wolves,
Bobby Portis of the Bucks had their homes broken into.
You might have remembered Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey on back-to-back nights in October.
They had a Monday night game against the Saints,
and Patrick's got hit the night before.
Kelsey's got hit the night of, like during the game, the Monday night game.
The FBI says these burglaries are connected to a transgender South American theft group.
I'm sorry, transnational South American theft group.
I apologize.
Transgender South American theft group. I'm sorry, transnational South American theft group. I apologize. Transgender
South American theft group.
I misread that.
Does that make them better?
I don't know.
It's very confusing.
How would that help their
theft skills?
Which half of you is...
I mean, they could get into
any bathroom.
Yeah.
Transnational Oh okay
South American
Okay
Theft group
That's what the FBI said the NBA ones were
But now we've got some NFL ones
And we've got a hockey one
And Dak's fiance doesn't know how to lock a car
You would think guys that make 50 million
Especially athletes I would say,
because you didn't really work your way in business doing that,
so you're not used to money perhaps.
You're pretty flippant with, you know,
I'm going to buy lots of stuff that just costs a lot and leave it laying around type thing
or have lots of cash lying around.
I bet your CEO people don't have that much frivolous.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe if you have $50 million, you have $50 million and you're just taking a money bath.
I think you're right.
I was having a Joe Burrow, too, recently.
Which now you can just kind of...
Muriel had been baby on two or three weeks ago.
And he was just talking about
one of the first things
they taught him
in journalism school
was they teach you
how to find people's
yeah
right
he's like you can kind of
find out where all these
people lived
I remember this was
a Dan Campbell story
that was one of his
daughter's
you know high school
classmates or whatever
after the Lions lost
in the playoffs last year
they were
Snapchat got out it was like hey we're going to throw eggs at their house or whatever but the Lions lost in the playoffs last year.
Snapchat got out and was like,
hey, we're going to throw eggs at their house or whatever.
But the kid knew where he lived because he had looked it up.
But, you know, I think the family was there at the house at the time.
It's just, like, creepy a little bit if you know where all these rich people live.
But there's your break-in news.
Not breaking news. No, your break-in news. Not breaking news.
No, your break-in news.
Plane crash.
This plane was carrying 181 people.
Crash landed on its belly yesterday at a South Korean airport.
Then it hit a brick wall and exploded.
The numbers are kind of insane here.
So 181 people on the plane.
175 passengers,
six crew members.
Okay?
175 passengers,
six crew members,
giving you the 181.
Okay?
Did you guys happen to see video of the crash?
I did because I believe this was sent to Dan
Probably a million times
That's why we're doing it
Right because two survived
Two crew members
Oh just crew huh
Of the percentage
There is very low
Six out of 181
Two crew members survived
They were rescued from the tail section.
You got to sit at the back.
Sit at the back is good.
So, yeah.
So the video is odd because, yes, you land,
but they're screeching along the ground
because their landing gear wasn't out or something.
But they did actually land.
So it's kind of a yay-boo.
I'm like, you know, when you're up in the air,
you would know if you're up in the air,
you would know if you're dying and just falling straight down.
Like, but, oh, no, we're kind of drifting down.
Like, oh, okay, we touched ground.
Now we're just kind of – whenever the momentum stops it.
But then, yeah, why do you have a brick wall at the end of the runway?
That feels like a – what about a big giant pillow there?
Yeah.
Or if it's got to be something blocking,
I don't know.
That just seemed like a really weird design thing.
Yeah, Colorado's got the runaway truck ramps where they have the sand
and it kind of leads you up.
Yeah, go up the hill.
They don't have a giant wall there.
Yeah, what if you had a hill?
Yeah.
Of sand?
Does sand naturally put out fire? I don't have a giant wall there. Yeah, what if you had a hill? Of sand? Does sand naturally put out fire?
I don't know.
Yeah.
They said on these runways...
They pour sand on stuff.
There were runways that could land both ways.
So the wall...
That also seems like a pretty bad idea, but I'm not...
So the landing gear did not drop down from underneath.
The flaps were not activated for landing on the wings.
This was a Boeing plane, by the way.
No surprise.
The airport also warned about a bird strike.
They issued a Mayday alert shortly.
And there's footage on TV.
They were airing it on MWMBCM.
It showed one of the engines
bursting into flames in the air.
They think a bird hit it too.
That's all it takes?
So they had a lot of crap going on in that plane.
You hit a pigeon when it causes that?
This is the one airport where there are birds in the air?
I think this happens a lot.
I was going to say,
it would seem like that's...
If anything was going to be in the air, I would think it might be a bird.
That's me.
It's one of the few things.
That and 181 people.
So the pilots were not safe.
We have an addition to the news.
You want to join?
Welcome in from Central Texas.
Are you in Central Texas?
Yeah, I think it would count as that.
It's Jake, everybody.
No puppet.
What to do, boys?
Hey, Kevin.
We were all debating earlier.
Did you take your family to the place where you stayed most recently down there in Central Texas?
No.
We've been here before, but it was a couple of times ago.
The place I stayed recently, all booked up.
Oh, okay.
For the holidays?
Yeah.
Didn't know if they met Pond Man.
No.
Actually, though, dude, the guy that we know that
went to the exact same place i did he just got out about a week ago and i think we need to have him
on okay i i basically realized that while i don't want to go back to rehab i want to talk to somebody
who just got out of rehab like every month or so for the rest of my life okay just to hear the
stories because like i told you guys that
every group's got a couple of guys who are really really stoked on god not like hey i'm trying to
live this way but that you need to live this way too and i told you guys that there was a water
feature where one guy had decided he was going to kill the the goldfish there and use them for bait
in the stock pond well Well, his god guy decided
he was going to do baptisms in that
water feature.
The same pond.
Same pond. Right there, yeah.
Yeah.
Love it.
So what are you guys doing?
KT is doing the news.
He's probably wrapping up soon because
he has a radio job
that he is going to be heading to.
So he's going to leave, and then you're going to kind of take over.
I listened to his podcast this morning.
Great work, Kevin.
Oh, thank you.
Really good stuff.
I listen too.
My review isn't as bullish, but go ahead.
Yeah, it was good for me, though, because so far I've only watched the first half.
I went back and watched the first half this morning.
Yesterday I was in the car, so I was treated to the radio broadcast,
and I turned it on, and I was excited to listen,
but then suddenly, without knowing, the game was over.
And that was a shock to me because the play-by-play guy
hadn't mentioned the clock in 40 minutes.
Walk the dog.
So I did hear that the dog was walked a lot, but I didn't know the score.
I guess people aren't criticizing Trey Lance now, are they,
after that two-yard?
Yeah.
Get your mix in on Zeke now, folks.
I guess Zeke really is washed up.
Probably was saying that in Cleveland.
Didn't know where the clock was,
but I knew that the haters were being talked to.
That's what I gathered from the broadcast.
I mean, 41-7 is not too bad.
Could have been way worse if they kept Saquon in the game.
You guys take a look at the big stories of 2024.
Which ones?
We're not doing a retrospective here.
We're doing stuff that happened in the last two days.
Like a plane crash of 181 people.
Will it make the Q4 report?
I heard about that.
Yeah, it was something Asian, right?
Yeah, something weird. Right, so it could be India. Well, no, something Asian, right? Yeah, something weird.
Right, so it could be India.
Well, no, I don't mean that it's something weird.
I just mean that pound for pound, whether it's Asia or, as you said, or India,
there are a lot more of them.
People?
Yeah.
Yeah, you would think there would be more crashes.
Well, also, like 181 there is like two guys
in Rockwall that crash. Oh, okay.
So you're saying that's not that big of a deal.
Right. Yeah. I agree.
I didn't know we gave Boeings
to other countries.
It's just when they're kind of old.
Yeah, it's kind of old and the landing
gear's a little shitty.
Boeing isn't really
having a good run.
No, they're definitely not having a good run, but I like
this idea that Kevin has
where these multinational
defense and aerospace companies
are like, we only sell to Americans.
The profit would be
suffering there.
We probably do send them to scrap yard planes
as bad as it's going for boeing it's going way worse for the whistleblowers
just yeah yeah it's like you give you give your daughter uh you know an old car when she turns 16
you give sure you know the up here above my garage this is the couch that used to be in my living room and in South Korea or
wherever this, uh, that,
that was a Boeing that was going great for us in the seventies.
But why don't you use it now? The, the landing gear isn't that great,
but it's fine. I mean, you'll land.
It's vintage.
As long as you don't have a brick wall at the end of your runway,
you're going to be great about it. Again, I haven't been have a brick wall at the end of your runway, you're going to be great. What's that about?
Again, I haven't been that on the internet in the past couple days,
but I did see that it sort of slammed into a wall.
Right.
Plus, apparently, they have explosives on the wall as well
if you just touch it.
Did Bugs Bunny?
It's got a TNT acme.
I did see there's a lot of...
Bird strikes are a common problem for flights, Dan.
Since 1988, 76 people in the United States have been killed due to wildlife strikes.
That's in the U.S.
Not Sully, though.
I was going to say, build the whole plane out of Sullys and you got no problem.
In 2023, I'm going to round up here, 20,000 wildlife strikes were reported.
Oh, and only 67.
Well, okay, you said deaths in the U.S., 67.
I don't know.
54 strikes a day.
So there are 54 wildlife strikes on planes per day.
That seems like we would have more deaths.
You know the weird thing about it
is that I think until Sully,
you know, I'd been on planes
before that.
I don't think until Sully I considered
that a bird hitting a plane would be a problem.
I still don't.
I feel like Sully did something wrong there.
I was just like, I assume we figured that out.
Yeah.
There's 54 of them a day,
and the pilots don't have to crash land in a river because of it.
Barrel roll?
Yeah.
They're just like, okay, well, here, I'll just do this
because this is what you do.
It's just a bird.
I'm in a 8,000-pound...
It has to be the same of us hitting a squirrel in our car.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
And only if you go,
whoa!
Yeah.
That's when you crash.
So Sully is like,
ah!
And then all of a sudden he's in a river
and he's got to make up this backstory of,
oh, well, actually,
here's what I did.
No one else could have done it.
You want to buy the movie rights?
Tom Hanks is like, I believe it.
That's right.
Also, though, I said wildlife strikes.
Like deer up there?
Yeah, deer.
Yeah.
The definition is...
You need a deer whistle on the plane.
We have deer, coyotes, and bats also being documented.
Coyotes?
Boy, coyotes are everywhere, man.
It's that whole Acme thing.
Really?
Yeah, I guess so.
That's why I didn't know if that was a joke.
Yeah.
No, it's when they're falling from the big mountain.
I have a wildlife question for you guys.
Whenever, Kevin, if you have to get up and go,
I don't really know what the protocol is here.
Yeah, I got to go.
I got to go to FM radio.
Okay, see you, Kevin.
Goodbye, internet.
Great to talk to you.
I love you.
Okay.
Okay.
The Dumb Zone News.
Like and subscribe.
I have a quick wildlife question.
If you guys will entertain me
and my thoughts here because I miss you so much.
We do have quick wildlife
answers here.
We are staying. We're outside
Fredericksburg by about 15 minutes.
We are on a property.
It is a ranch that has about
there's a main house where I assume
the owners live and there are three or four small
ranch houses around it and
as such there are
cattle here.
This is a wildlife ranch.
Not wildlife. It's a cattle ranch.
So there are a lot of cows
and they're
roaming the property amongst us.
There's some donkeys. There's some smaller
horses.
Do you think, because these are, you know, like any cow, I guess,
these are being raised as a product, right?
Like their ears are tagged.
Am I allowed to feed them like apples or carrots?
Yeah.
I would think yes, but then my thought is like, okay. Because you want to do it with your kids right that just
you don't want it wasn't me out there by yourself yeah yeah no but we walked up to the fence and you
can walk around and walk right up to them but they were leaning over the fence we're pet numb and
we just stopped on the way home from uh breakfast playground whatever and got some apples and
carrots but i'm thinking like if i own that animal and I'm taking it to market to get
sifted or whatever the term is, do I want some stranger just like,
here's a granny Smith or two.
Hopefully that works with whatever you're being raised to be.
Right. We're giving you this, uh, he got specially formulated, uh,
kibble or whatever. Yeah. Right. Because like in our heads, it's like, Oh,
it's an apple or carrots.
So like the grass fed beef I might buy actually, it's like, oh, it's an apple or carrots. That's what they eat. So the grass-fed beef I might buy, actually, it's fed grass plus whatever Jake felt like giving it to me.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like once you introduce that, like, oh, I'll just give it something else.
Okay, what about Jolly Ranchers?
I'm making the decision that apple or carrot is okay.
Right, I don't even know if that is okay.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like,
I got all this produce.
You know the horse across the street from me?
Yeah.
I was walking the other day eating an apple,
as I will do.
Was he going too slow,
so you chucked it in?
Well, I was like looking at it like, can I give the horse the apple core?
Yeah.
Same thing I thought.
I was like, do I have to cut it up?
Yeah, so I just did.
And I'm not, and yeah, the next day,
the horse was just lying on the ground.
Yeah.
Choked on it.
Yeah.
Maybe I wait till the last day we're here.
Yeah.
No, I think, I'm saying, yeah, go ahead for it.
Go for it.
Boy, I wouldn't mess with it.
Blake's different now. Blake is now turning he's a father he's like i don't know about my future you know like he's he's he's a different guy these days used to be full bore no holds barred
anything goes but yeah man that's not whatever it's not the type of person you want to mess with
and if they're those are probably high-priced cattle. Cattle ranch guy?
Yeah, you give them your Snickers
bar and it throws them off, then that's
probably not good.
Blake is a new guy, but he's still never
seen a stop sign he respected.
It's an interesting
slice of life to stake out as your own
because a guy ran the stop sign in my
neighborhood in front of my house yesterday and I got
one pissed and then immediately pissed at Blake.
But never yourself for growing old?
Well, I mean, dude, kids are playing out there.
I have to pull one of those.
Well, maybe you should get your kid out of the street.
Drive like your kids live here.
You know what you have to do?
Go to the city council meeting
and try to get a speed bump put into your neighborhood.
Oh, my gosh.
What a step in life.
Jake was telling me the neighbor's kids
were playing on his grass. Pissed him off.
Oh yeah.
Cloud moved over the sunshine.
Upset him. His poinsettias aren't growing.
Want to do some viewer mail birthdays?
Sure.
This is from
BL
who says,
please give my son
the great Jack Lieber
a birthday shout out.
Ooh.
His birthday was New Year's Eve
1999.
Wow.
Y2K baby. Intern Jack.
More Jack.
I think 2025 is going to be a big year for Jack and me.
I thought it was the year of you.
I can have like a team of – it won't be as big for him as it is me.
That's ridiculous.
So it's the year of Jake.
Right.
But it's a big year for Jack.
Yeah, period.
Period.
Let's see.
Fun fact, we didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.
That's interesting in this day and age.
Yeah.
Not to know before it pops out.
Yeah, 25 years ago, though, I think it was still... I don't know.
Probably at least a third of people didn't know.
Let's see.
I had rights to the name.
If he was a boy, I named him Jack after my childhood idol, hero,
greatest third baseman ever, Michael Jack Schmidt.
Did not know that anyone called Mike Schmidt Jack.
So he's named Jack after Mike Schmidt?
I guess he says, I had rights to the name if he was a boy.
So I guess that marriage was like, BL is going to name if he's a boy.
If it's a girl, you get to name it.
Huh.
We actually did it the other way because we're progressive.
I got girl.
Yeah.
She got boy.
Hefe Dan, this is Poyito from San Antone.
Southwest Texas State grad and expert on all things Mexican.
Tamales, Tamales, Tamales, Los Vaqueros de Dallas, and Salinas.
Today is my birthday, but I'm excited about the year of Jake.
Only a few days to go.
Shout out
to my heroes Disciplinarian Blake,
Line Cutting Jake,
and his buddy L.
Eddie. Keep doing what
you're doing, Playboy, while I moose my chica.
Feliz
cumpleaños to me.
That's another thing.
My wife saw my moose hat
and
asked me to explain the whole moose thing.
Were you like,
alright, bend over.
Yeah.
Dear Uncle C-Word Crammer,
it's
my buddy Hutch's birthday. He smokes cigs outside OTR in Deep Ellum with Jake.
His leader is Saroy from DF Brown.
Solid.
Let's see here.
Did you delete some birthday shout-outs that were in the company email?
Yeah, I thought you moved them over.
Gosh darn it, I just opened my phone to look for one.
It was a correction.
Give me the one from Carly.
Okay.
Admiral the Anus, December 26th,
is 39 years and nine months since my parents decided to bone
and make me have a birthday the day after Jesus.
He turned water into wine,
so we know Jake isn't going to hang out with him.
My leaders are the come- on Jake's lake house table
and Blake's brownie points for dumping his kid at the B team in-laws.
More Blake, more Julie, occasional dingoo from Jess Walker.
Jess Walker.
You think Jess is a lady?
I think that's dude Jess.
I think he was up here.
Is he hot? I think so. All right, they think he was up here. Is he hot?
I think so.
Cass is hot.
Yeah, because his wife doesn't allow him to order food.
That's true.
That's true.
By the way,
I'll shoehorn this in.
Cass's viewer mail
on Christmas in the Spotlight,
the Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift movie that we reviewed,
was the most incredible thing.
We focused on the nine-time MVP and the stats.
He highlighted that there was a lack of voter fatigue.
For a nine-time?
Yeah, like even right now,
if you look at Lamar Jackson versus – what's his name?
The Bills quarterback.
Josh Allen.
Like just look at the numbers.
Lamar Jackson should win the MVP.
Right.
But I think there is a bit of voter fatigue with that.
Yeah, it happens all the time, but not with –
Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was the best in the league when Charles Barkley fatigue with that. Yeah, it happens all the time, but not with... Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan was the best in the league when Charles Barkley won his MVP.
Sure, sure.
Gonzo, too good for voter fatigue.
Also, not good enough for a new contract with his current team.
Look, the pie's only so big.
We're not making any more money.
Baron of the Birth Canal.
Shout out to my brother, John.
Turns 35 December 30th.
Leaders are the Flea Flicker-based offense,
Victor McDowell,
Burt Reynolds posing naked in Cosmopolitan,
and girls with leg braces.
P.S. My wife gave birth to our baby on December 19th.
Would like to get Jake's take on her name.
Let's go.
Francis Isabel Housewright.
You knocked it out of the mother effing park.
That feels classy.
That feels like old school.
A girl, Francis?
Yeah.
Yeah, that used to be very common, Blake.
I have an aunt who's probably, I don't know, almost 70.
Aunt Franny?
That's a good name.
Yeah, my aunt Anne Franny.
Aunt Franny.
No, I said that.
Anne Franny.
Oh.
Yeah, you can go by Franny, Francis.
It kind of sounds hefty, but that's okay.
That's from Alex Housewright, who left his phone number.
Want to call it?
You want to call it?
Go ahead.
Call Alex.
Let's just see what he's got.
Call him after Quincy.
That's in one of these.
You want to call him?
Yeah, go ahead.
Dial it up.
Let's just see what he's got.
Unless you can't call him in the time that I have to read one more email.
It is Carly.
We know Carly.
Hail to my heroes.
December 30th is my Vladimir Guerrero birthday
or my Eric Dickerson minus damn Ham Hughes on the Stars birthday.
Wow.
Yes, it sucks as bad as you think it does having a birthday this week.
I'm now formally your Las Vegas DF.
Is it dialing?
Do you want to hear it?
Yeah, let's hear it ring.
I moved to Florida in November.
My claim to fame is seeing the chappy license plate on his truck one time while driving in Vegas.
My leader is Jake's Bathss The world needs more baths
Guys I got a big one coming tonight
Your call has been forwarded to voicemail
The person you're trying to reach is not available
At the tone
Please record your message
When you have finished recording you may hang up
Hey Alex
This is Dan here
Also a fan of girls with leg braces.
Say hi to Alex, Jake.
Hey, what's up, Al?
This is Alex.
I believe Guy Alex.
Because he said his wife had a baby named Frances Isabel Housewright.
I love it.
But Alex could be a lady with a wife, right?
Could.
Sure.
Let's just imagine that.
Wouldn't that be better?
What's up, Alex?
Because aren't all ladies who are with other ladies really hot,
if you haven't seen them?
It's plus a point or two.
Yeah.
And then they got a kid.
I would love to see you raise that kid together, that progressive kid.
I would love to see you raise that kid together, that progressive kid.
Anyway, happy birthday to – whose birthday was it?
Oh, John.
Alex's brother, John.
Francis was on the 19th. I thought it was the kid's birthday.
The kid was born on the 19th.
Okay.
Which probably sucks to have a birthday so close to Christmas.
You should probably get rid of that kid, dude.
I believe we're one of the states that you could do post-birth abortion, right?
Yeah, it's first post-birth trimester you have time.
So you get three months.
You can do it now before January 20th, right?
Before the new...
These are the Biden laws.
They're still involved, I believe.
This is what they push for.
Anyway, dude, thanks for leaving your phone number on the email.
We just thought we'd dial you up and see what's up.
We'll talk to you later, man.
Carly says, call if you ever need an expert on water parks or lifeguards.
That's Carly B.
Water parks.
Is that like a euphemism?
I believe so.
Water sports.
Are you ready to wrap this up, Blake, or should I do a regular Today in History?
Let's do it.
Blake's mad you showed up.
That's nothing new to me.
He was about to get out of here.
Yeah, I was going to leave, but it's fine.
Do whatever you want to do.
No, it's a Jake show.
Go ahead.
We got some sit-ins you could say hi to.
Hey!
We have Ann.
She brought Bill.
We have Jonathan.
He brought Travis.
Or maybe Travis brought Jonathan.
We're not sure about their relationship.
Jonathan brought Travis, and they specifically asked not sure about their relationship. Jonathan brought Travis and they specifically
asked for a Kevin Turner show.
Nice. Well, look at that.
They got brews or anything? A little Tallboy
Monday? They're probably off
work. Would you like to respond? You can grab
that mic and respond to Jake if you want.
No brews, Jake.
As a matter of fact, you've
given me some inspiration. I know you
don't count your days, but today is day 60 for me without drinking alcohol.
So I wanted to thank you for the inspiration along the way.
This is a tough spot because I really want to say thank you and I'm happy for you, but I also want to be like, oh, cool, 60?
Call me when you're this many.
You don't know what this many is.
Yeah, no, that's awesome, dude.
Congrats to you.
Travis still drinks, so he could have a tall boy.
So because of Jay, if one of you guys wants to sit in the KT chair,
go ahead and throw on the headset.
Just stay as long as you want.
That's right.
We'll keep this thing going. Blake's cool.
So it's Monday, December 30th.
This is the 60-day chip day for Jonathan.
That's right.
So what were you doing?
Were you hiding alcohol in the car and stuff?
No, not too bad.
You didn't have to go to rehab.
No, no, I didn't go the Jake path.
You're not weak. No, not quite I didn't go the Jake path. You're not weak.
No, not quite that weak.
Not that weak, yeah.
Although it's strong to admit that you should need to go to rehab.
Yeah, maybe a little bit.
Strong.
Heroic.
Just tell me what happened today.
On this day in 1907, the Mills Commission issued their final report
concluding that Abner Doubleday was the inventor of the sport of baseball.
Was that like an actual government report?
No, it was a report they had contracted.
The Major League Baseball owners contracted somebody
to put together a report so they could celebrate baseball.
The whole thing was false.
It was fake.
It was made up.
They used Abner Doubleday because he was like a war hero.
Doubleday's like, no, actually, no.
Actually, he went along with it for a while.
But sports historians know this is ridiculous.
I never learned this until I was in a college class called History of Baseball.
Nice.
Which I thought was a blow-off.
And I was a big baseball fan and the professor
the first day we got in
said you all took
this because it was a blow off
well you all have a C right now
and if you do extra
extra work
beyond what is required
the required reading and the required test
and the required papers you have to write
if you go beyond that you can get it up to a B or an A.
But if you just do what's all required, you will have a C.
Kind of don't hate it.
Made me sad.
It's a good lesson, though.
Also, can I just say, I think it was weird.
What was his name?
You know how baseball historians are, usually pretty chill guys.
Well, the thing is, this is when I also realized, and I have his books on the shelf, but I can't find it.
He wrote a book on Ty Cobb.
He was really stoked on Ty Cobb.
Oh, yeah, he told us this, yeah.
But I had to buy two books written by him.
And I was like, wait, what is this scam that professors have going?
I like it. You want to answer Alex's phone?
Or a phone call?
Yeah, sure. Then we'll hang up on him.
Call from...
Guy Alex.
Did he cover any of the whole like...
Violence and all that stuff.
Ty Cobb had
domestic violence?
He certainly didn't like black people.
I'm pretty aware of that.
Anyway, joining us now is Guy Alex.
Hey, Al.
It's Dan McDowell.
Whose brother's birthday is at some point, right?
Maybe today?
It was today.
Yeah, sure is.
Blake's scrambling.
Sweet.
How's John doing?
I think he's doing well.
I haven't talked to him today, so stuff happens.
Well, send him this.
We need some more listeners, you know?
Oh, he's a listener, all right.
Are y'all recording right now?
How's little Franny?
Little Franny's good. Are y'all recording right now? How's little Franny? Little Franny's good.
Are we going Franny?
No, do not call her Franny in front of my wife.
That could cause a problem.
It's going to happen, though, dude.
It's already happening.
Yeah, you're not going to be able to avoid it.
A high school girlfriend of mine was Frances Franny.
And how'd that end?
She dumped me and I cried and stuff.
She was going to college and I was like,
yeah, but we could miss each other.
And then she didn't.
She's like, nah, it's all right.
You left me a voicemail a second ago.
I did?
And you spoke to Jake.
Oh, he's here.
No, we're doing the show.
I can't hear him, though.
Jake's there?
Jake can't hear you for some reason.
The connection we have going.
Just know I love you, Al.
Take on Francis Isabel Housewright, yay or nay?
Out of five stars, what's he thinking?
I think he gave it a five.
Yeah, he liked it.
And how about you just find that out
later when you listen?
Alright, I will.
Alright. Is this going to be on there?
Not looking good.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Maybe not the best choice
for you guys.
Break's ready to delete you now.
Alright. I love you guys.
Alright, thanks bro.
Bye Alex.
Later.
Just talking to the microphone.
Hi.
Can she hear us?
No.
There's Mr. Dan.
There you go.
Can she see my hand?
There you go.
Horns down.
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa, whoa.
Got to raise her right.
Yeah.
On this day in 1978, Ohio State University fired Woody Hayes, their coach,
one day after he punched a Clemson University player during the Gator Bowl
after the nose tackle intercepted an Arch Schliester pass.
Arch Schliester would end up going to prison for gambling.
Yeah, I see that video every year, including this morning,
and it shocks me every time.
And I feel like when you watch it, everyone else,
their shock is the best part.
Like, holy shit, this old guy just punched him.
This is the day in 2002 that the Cowboys fired head coach Dave Campo.
Oh, man, what a cucking.
Because didn't they like, he was kind of there and gave like a goodbye press conference.
Here comes tuna.
Oh, yeah.
That was weird.
Then he came back.
He did.
Kind of like Vance Joseph. Vance is the dc for denver did you guys
know that did yeah bit of an nfl guy myself yeah on this day in 2012 recalling that the shooting
rampage that killed 20 first graders in Connecticut was the worst day of his presidency,
President Barack Obama pledged on NBC's Meet the Press to put his full weight behind legislation aimed at preventing gun violence.
And there's no gun violence today.
It actually all worked in the end.
Thing is, not a heavy guy.
Kind of a weight.
He also ended racism and gun violence.
All in two terms.
This is the day that Bill Cosby was charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
He had a trial ended mistrial.
Then he was convicted and sentenced to prison.
And then the Supreme Court, Pennsylvania Supreme Court, overturned that conviction.
And Cosby is now out walking around doing stuff.
is now out walking around doing stuff.
So,
I may have this wrong, but everyone always talks about like
Ronan Farrow and Harvey Weinstein
and Alyssa Milano as being
the start of Me Too.
Wasn't it actually Hannibal Buress on
Bill Cosby?
That's what some people think.
I think that was before then.
That he just was in
Philadelphia and a couple months later much like uh catch me
outside girl it took the video clip took off anyways apparently not that interesting of an
observation when burst's stand-up joke went viral dozens of women started to come forward
i swear that was before wine and then ronan farrow and everybody else. Yeah, Burris' joke was in 2014.
Yeah.
Trying to keep the black man down there.

Top market value for your trade-in if you have one.
If not, just flexible leasing terms, 36 to 60 months. Even if you plan on keeping the vehicle, leasing might still be for you.
It sure can.
Drive now and pay later, am I right?

Thank you, Fairlease.
And on this day in 2020
Becky Hammond of the Spurs
Made history
The first woman to coach
An NBA regular season game
Because she filled in
For Greg Popovich
After he was ejected
During a game against the Lakers
Aces baby
And now
There is equality
Gender equality in sports as well
It's so great All the stuff that we've seen happen.
Today's birthdays, big debate over who should be mentioned first.
Of course, you like to mention the most important name first.
But we have two names to give you on this day.
Tiger Woods, 49.
It's going to be hard to beat.
Hey, it's my birthday.
LeBron James, 40.
Oh, my God.
You know, Dan, a lot of people don't know this.
Born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio.
No, that's Steph Curry.
Oh. hospital in Akron Ohio no that's Steph Curry oh dude you know I like this is a
really weird thing but I like thinking about Charlie woods like I can see a
world where I'm telling my son I saw this kid when he was 12. Isn't the chalk that he becomes a major winner?
I wonder because certainly he is not being raised by a tyrant.
Are you sure?
I'm not.
That's the thing.
Just because they have money,
I still think Tiger probably lets him have a little more fun,
but I bet you he still stays
on his ass, even if it's from
across the world.
I mean, he's good already.
Would you think it was
sweet if
you knew your dad
while you were a baby
was banging
the waitress and everybody he could get his hand on?
I mean, he's going to know sometime.
I think you'd rather that than know your mom was like involved with 101 guys in one day.
Yeah.
You had to pick.
Right.
Yeah.
No.
The guy involved with 101 girls, it's like, oh, sweet.
Yeah.
Which is the way society should be set up.
Sandy Koufax is still alive.
He's 89.
Wow.
Wow.
Carson Wentz, 32.
Almost had an MVP Super Bowl winning year.
We were talking about Doug Peterson earlier.
How did they – how?
It was against Brady and Belichick too.
Their starting quarterback is out.
Their starting left tackle was hurt for the year.
And Doug Peterson is like thought of as a joke coach right now.
Like how?
How did that happen?
Yeah.
I don't know.
That was a really good team.
Former Cowboy Mel Renfro is 83.
Kerry Collins, 52.
Man.
AJ Pruszynski is 48.
Did you have some Kerry Collins something to add?
No, I just –
You got wistful.
Pretty fun Giants team, I just got wistful. Pretty fun
Giants team, I think, when they had Tiki and
was it Imani Toomer, Jake?
Yes.
I believe so. Meredith Vieira,
71. Our man of
leisure.
Oh, yeah, that's right. He's met
Dez and Meredith Vieira.
Tracy Ullman, 65.
What's her bit?
Like, it was a late night show?
She was a primetime sketch comedy show
that first debuted The Simpsons.
Ah, there it is.
It was like on Fox,
and one of the shorts was The Simpsons.
Got it.
And then she was recently on the last season of Curb I believe her last couple seasons uh boxer Layla Ali is 47
singer Tyrese Gibson is 46 wow fast and furious and this one I wasn't going to mention this if you hadn't showed up,
Jake. Okay.
But tell me why I am mentioning this name.
We will end with former
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is
61.
My guess
is because when you go to a
Commander's game, he might be a guy you could
be there, see, and be seen,
but is there something I'm missing?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, Mike Pompeo.
He's right there.
He's just out in the stands.
He's just a regular fan.
You never know who you're going to see here.
Donald Rumsfeld?
Is that Leon Panetta?
I knew him and Leon were hanging out again.
Born in the state and now dead.
Davy Jones and Michael
Nesmith. Blake, why is that really weird
that both of those guys are born on this
day and now dead?
I don't know, Dan.
Ann, do you know?
She said monkeys.
They both died on the same day?
Were they a fake band?
Yeah, they were a fake band.
The Monkees. Hey, hey, we're the Monkees. Yeah, both born on the same day? Were they a fake band? Yeah, they were a fake band. The Monkees.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees.
Yeah, both born on the same day.
What do you mean fake band?
It was kind of like, I suppose, like One Direction or something.
No.
Yeah, it was TV producers put them together to make a TV show.
But they made the TV show the primary thing, right?
Right.
They had auditions to put them together.
Yeah.
It's kind of the same.
They're going to create a TV show called The Monkees.
It's going to be four guys that do a band.
They play songs and stuff.
Okay.
Because I've heard songs by them.
It would be closer.
They've got good songs.
Blake, it would be closer to making the band.
Okay.
But it's a contrived...
Yeah, it's...
Yeah, okay.
Died on this day, still dead.
Tell Chappy about this.
We were just looking at the calendar earlier.
He's the centerfold.
Yeah.
In the calendar.
He's very proud.
Died on this day in 1950. Arthur Davidson, the co-founder of Harley Davidson.
Harley Davidson.
Wow.
You know, you can ride to live, you can live to ride, either way.
Died in a car crash.
Ironic.
And they say it's dangerous to ride motorcycles.
He wasn't wearing a helmet, though.
No, he wasn't.
In his car.
In 1950 cars, do you think they were pretty safe?
This day in 1999, Sarah Knauss,
listed as the Guinness Book of World Records
the oldest person ever,
with a verifiable date of birth.
She was 119 years old you wouldn't want to
be 119 I might be able to do it oh you I was saying I need I need to live to 100
like Jimmy Carter as you know I want to do Jake but I want Blake to be blown out
my candles that day he is valid it. All right, yeah.
Died on this day in 2006, Saddam Hussein.
Man.
2020, Dawn Wells.
She was Marianne on Gilligan's Island.
Oh, that's a sick reference, yeah. The non-whore, right?
Isn't that the housewife-y type?
You've never watched Gilligan's Island, Jake?
I mean, I've seen.
You know who it is, right?
It used to be a Nick at Night type staple.
How about you?
I've seen my wife watch it a couple of times,
but I think my main takeaway was one of them was a pretty big whore.
Yeah. And that's it. My favorite was the guy them was a pretty big whore. Yeah.
And that's it.
My favorite was the guy who was like, boss, the plane.
And died on this day in 2022, Barbara Walters.
Damn.
I think she had like exceptional cans.
Look it up.
That was Today in History.
And an amazing journalistic career.
We would do closing remarks.
We're going to say closing remarks brought to you by
Frankel & Frankel Personal Injury Attorneys.
If you get into an accident, that's no good.
But hey, if there's somebody else at fault and you need to not deal with the insurance companies
and you need somebody who can fight for your rights,
Frankel and Frankel at, and what's their number, 214?
Do you know?
Ann doesn't know.
That's why we say this over and over.
Oh, everybody else is putting up threes.
Yes, threes in the air.
All threes. Yes, threes in the air. All threes.
214 or 817.
333.
333.
Just put it in your phone.
That's the thing.
You don't even need to program it.
You're going to know it by heart after we say it over and over again.
So thanks to Frankel & Frankel for being a great sponsor
and for bringing you today's closing remarks
and, you know, just bringing you today's closing remarks.
And, you know, just bringing you all kinds of things.
Love that about them.
Do we have... Now, Ann doesn't want to make
closing remarks, Jake. Ann showed up.
Ann brought Eatsies.
Oh, classic Ann.
Oh, you brought...
She brought Nora a gift, she says.
But she will not go on the mic to say anything about it.
Did you want to grab a mic, Bill, or no?
You're also going to pass.
Okay.
Do you guys read Reddit?
Okay, they're going to be fans of you.
Because Reddit does not like when people talk.
That aren't Dan, Jake, and Blake.
And who can blame them?
That's debatable.
Who can blame them?
Oh, okay.
Hey, Jonathan.
What's up?
Oh, and Jonathan's here.
And I don't care what they say about Reddit on Reddit.
There you go.
So, yeah, really thankful to Frankel and Frankel for giving me the opportunity to have some closing remarks today.
and frankl for giving me the opportunity to have some closing remarks today um so jake stole a little bit of my thunder earlier but um just the the impact that you guys have is is a lot greater
than just the entertainment value that you have for a couple hours on on a podcast i'm a day two
ticket p1 and that was eighth grade for me so the the people that I got to know through the ticket, like you, Dan, and Blake, and Jake, and so many others,
have had a pretty profound impact on me just beyond just the entertainment value.
So for my brother and I, we don't live very close to each other.
We only see each other a couple times a year, so this is one of those.
Oh, I wasn't aware this was your brother.
Yeah, this is my brother.
Oh, okay, I thought you were just bros.
We're bros and we're bros.
And did you want to grab the mic?
Go ahead.
But he brought us gifts.
So the new format that you guys have where it's a podcast,
I get to hear you a lot more often because it's on demand for me
instead of having to be at a certain time during the day.
And do you feel pressure to listen then?
No.
Some people have indicated it's like
the DVR filling up.
Like, oh man, I got so much.
It's like too much.
If you miss one, you're fine. You'll just go to the next one?
Yeah, but
it can fill in at any time for me.
If I want to listen to you guys while I'm working out,
I can. If I've got to be in the car a long time,
I can listen to you then.
The,
the invention of the AirPods makes it where I can actually listen to you if
kids are in the car.
So that's helpful.
But yeah,
it's an AirPod guy now.
Yeah,
for sure.
Yeah.
So yeah,
it gives Travis and I something to kind of talk about and Hey,
did you hear this?
And I don't know,
you,
you had a pretty good, you know, birthday name for, for for Dan I don't know if you were going to bring that
to this episode I don't I'm trying to remember what it was something oh roast beef curtains that
was it yeah uncle roast beef curtains it was pretty shocking whenever I saw that one come
across on the text but I thought it was powerful. Powerful.
We did bring you guys a few things.
Dan's got kind of a mixed gift right there to a few things he really enjoys representing.
These aren't all for me, are they?
Well, one for each of you.
Oh, okay.
I know.
Three hats. Yeah, Jake really likes the boys, both the TV show and the football team.
That was kind of the thought there.
A dual bit hat, yeah.
Yeah, and then I think Blake smelled the other gift on my way up the stairs,
so I'll just go ahead and give that to you now.
Oh, wow, you weren't kidding.
That's terrific.
What is it?
Some stuff.
Some souvenirs from Colorado.
Oh, we talked earlier.
Yeah, these guys living, or one of them at least,
Travis lives in Colorado, I believe.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the smelted on my way up was a dead human.
Okay, I don't, yeah.
Did you bring a salmon?
He did.
He brought salmon.
Okay.
Like they're on the hook.
There's like four or five of them.
Somehow hit him back there.
Jake's refrigerated.
Heated up in the microwave whenever he's back.
All right, I'm an idiot.
We guys just made my day.
Yeah, I'm glad you were here for it.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I'm sorry.
Anything else you want to say, Jake?
Or Travis or –
Yeah, or the guests.
This is when you say, so this has been great.
Oh, yeah, so this has been fun.
Did you watch all of the game knowing that you didn't have to come on
and do the show today?
No, I mean I'm halfway through, like I was saying.
I watched the first half this morning.
Pam Oliver, tip-top form.
Dude, I had a – yeah, we played a lot of Pam Oliver today.
I would imagine so.
So I had a – as you know, it was a little bit business Sunday yesterday.
I had a call at like halftime.
Mm-hmm.
And I explicitly told the guy.
I didn't say, I don't I explicitly told the guy.
I didn't say, I don't want to know the score.
But I said, and then we ended up talking for like an hour or more.
But I said, oh, yeah, he's like, oh, you have to go watch this game, huh?
You know, because he knows what we do.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's okay.
It's watching sports. It's not that hard. But, you but you know i did pause it i paused it at halftime i go i was watching it live
and then i paused at halftime to make this call and he goes yeah man they're down 41 to 7 now i'm
like at least at least i could have enjoyed a little bit of the the third quarter not knowing
that you thought Cooper Rush would...
You know, who knows? I don't know.
There could have been another pick six
the other way. I mean, you're facing Kenny Pickett.
You know?
And it's Micah Parsons.
Yeah.
Blake said he had to wear gloves because his hands
were so tiny. Because I was questioning
why is he wearing gloves?
Yeah, no.
We got a game next Sunday.
Wrap things up.
We'll have a show Friday.
A mega long show.
So that's all I got.
Well, this has been fun.
It has been, Blake.
All right.
Adios, mofo.
We got to go before this becomes a zoo.
