Did you get your free coffee this morning?

Whoa, who was doing that bit? Starbucks. For what? No. The Monday after the Super Bowl you got a free tall coffee Did they do? I've always thought places that are offering something free That you should have an option to apply that same discount to something you actually want

You know I'm saying okay, like they're like oh you get a free coffee, and it's like a two dollar coffee Yeah, but I don't want that can I order a macchiato? What is this? 2008 they used to do that no I'm saying Starbucks coffee is no longer two dollars That's established the run guy right there I'm just I'm laughing because this guy knows every deal. I know like anything. We're doing he's Like I get your free popcorn. Yeah, I love the app and all you gotta do is this deal. I know. Like anything we're doing. He's helped me out a lot. He's like, yeah. I can get you free popcorn. Yeah. Or load the app and all you gotta do is this and then press this button and then show them that you're not watching the movie or what. Why? You're

not looking at your phone. You get a free. I'm trying to save you a couple bucks. I'm like, all right, but what if I want to look at my phone during the movie? You don't get your nachos. I appreciate it. He's helped me out a lot. I get rewards now. Because of Blake. Get those stars, man. That's why I was so mad at their Christmas game. I thought I had free Starbucks for life. Which would probably be like one drink every month or something.

I've stepped in that trap before. Thinking that I had something for a year, and they're like, yeah, well, actually, it just means, every time you come here, it's a $6 free. It's like marriage. You're like, I'm going to be just doing this all the time. Sex for life. Listen, it was my Andy's gift card. You said that.

What voice was that voice of you ten years ago? I know that I play this character of a guy who's beaten down, but dude, you get a peek in there and you'll just see nothing but whips and masks and swings. Fucking crazy, dude. Was that what the Reno was all about? Sex room? The what? The re- Did you go Reno? Yeah. No you can't do Reno Reno. Maybe Reno damn. What's Reno? Oh renovation I was trying I failed. It's okay. It's Monday Man, I was trying to find that audio on the fly real quick. I

Searched Jake sex. It's not in there Jake once said that he'd never never stop that him and his wife would have sex every night. It'd be so great. Although we don't know that they don't. Yeah? He just said he plays a beaten guy. We just know of one month they didn't. We know one month I didn't. Right, we have no idea what she was doing

Although you know I was over there knocking on the door every day. How the kids Me anything shoulder Lena? Yeah, maybe just go for a walk together Can you imagine that? Me doing that Like uh all right We're both walking All right, why do we do this? Uh, anyway, it's the day after the big game

For a little while we forgot about Luca very little while But then I will you do the intro thing? Oh, I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake. I'm Blake I didn't know we had to do it along with Clayton. We have to do it. Who is a Videoing this thing from high atop my garage. We are going live to tape Today we're also on the tube The YouTube the twit on the twit on the twitch perhaps mm-hmm

And the twit on the twitch perhaps and just a real kick in the dick of a week when it comes to sports although I will tell you yeah couple that I guess I'm not a lifelong cowboy fan yeah but now the Eagles win the Super Bowl after having a team that you were pretty comparable to this team. Overhungers were probably the same. And they said, you know what, what if we just added to this? We're so close. What if we just added, we do this?

It's crazy, Howard Roseman, you can't. The implications on the salary, they said, look, we're not going to say it out loud, but we're kind of to say it out loud, but we're kind of all in here. Yeah, yeah. And then you have over here yelling all in. And well, that means I just signed my quarterback and receiver.

OK, the Eagles did that too. Then they traded for another receiver. Then they signed a free agent running back. Then they shored up the defensive line. And then they blah, blah, blah. running back then they shored up the defensive line and then they blah blah blah uh but look at that forbes list bro forbes list and boy they're gonna be in a world to hurt i tell you what boy and espn every time they do like the rundown and the stories of the year like where's philly on that like fourth cowboysboys are right up the cowboys. You got LeBron. Mm-hmm

That's what pisses me off about Luca too. Like not that that means anything but We were on the map Yeah, we were on the Dallas. We were on the basketball map. We were a We were gonna be in the top things Like we're gonna like Luca was that he was a magnet to make us the top things. Like, we're going to, like, Luca was that. He was a magnet to make us the map. Cleveland got on the map because LeBron.

Do you know what that meant? To be a Clevelander and have LeBron, like it meant a lot to the whole city. I'm just scatter shooting here now, aren't I? Dude, wind him up, folks. We're going, no, it's, it's, no, you're right. And when you're on the map of basketball, there's only three of those teams.

Because the football, it's just the most popular sport in the country. Everybody's going to watch the NFL. With basketball, you have three teams because of three guys at any given time that might be talked about on Good Morning America if something crazy happens. Right, it's because of the guys. The guys.

It's not like Cleveland right now, solid basketball team. Right. Well put together. Good GM work. Walled off the paint. Name three of them. Yeah, that's the thing. But they're not on the map.

No. They might do well. They could go all the way. And no one's going to ever care. Yeah, and speaking of not caring, I mean, I think the thing is that the guys that are going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're going to be playing in the game, they're not on the map. No. They might do well. They could go all the way. And no one's going to ever care. Yeah.

And speaking of not caring, I mean, it bothers me that the Eagles won. But I have a sense of sports numbness right now. Yesterday, I just kept thinking, do I even really care about this? I care about having fun with my buddies. But do I actually, because when the Eagles were in the Super Bowl

a couple years ago, it meant a lot to me that they lost that game, even though they'd already won one with Foles. It just meant a lot. And yesterday it was like, ah, I guess, whatever. It does make it worse that they very clearly chose a different path than Dallas and it worked for them, after the Rams chose a very clearly path from Dallas and it worked for them. But

you know I will say another thing it's been a little positive here. It's tough to imagine a coach that inspires less confidence than Nick Sirianni and he's now been in the Super Bowl twice in four years. Or the playoffs all four years. So when I listen to Shottie and I'm like. I was going to say, good luck, because you got one. That's what I'm saying. Sirianni doesn't call plays.

So you're saying, because Troy Aikman went 1 and 15, if my quarterback goes 1 and 15, he'll probably win three Super Bowls. Gold jacket. So because Sirianni inspired so little confidence. And doesn't call plays, don't really know what he does. Now you have a guy who inspires even less confidence. You're like, wow, this is even better.

So we went through a period of time, right? We had Bill Walsh, and then the West Coast. And he was at a coaching tree, the likes of which you'd never seen, and we had Mike Shanahan on down to Kyle Shanahan at the McVay tree, and you look around the league and these innovative offenses with tight bunch formations and motion, and they're gonna run the ball on you. Look out for a new wave of NFL coaches

who the main thing about them is, you just don't really care about them. You're not really sure what they do. Sirianni's at the top of the game right now, and who's more Sirianni than Schottenheimer? We had about a four year window where it was get a hot coach. That's the same as the McVeigh.

There are not a lot of ugly McVeighs. Okay, that's, okay. okay offensive mind equals hot guy. Well for the most part for the most part I mean Mike McDaniels you would not say is hot. I don't know I mean he's He's a lot more attractive than like you know Tony Sparano You know what I mean like he looks any but he looks cool his health is healthier heart is healthier But I don't know that he just got like cool glasses and shoes and stuff You know it was kind of nerd cool. Yeah, he looks like he wants her to finish first Well he just might make sure I

Don't understand. I don't understand just looks like a super nice guy. The who doesn't is, I believe Blake is saying that a real man would just do his business and be like, figure your thing out on your own. Oh, OK. All right, well, that's run the ball guy is probably also the guy that's not concerned about her pleasure at all.

I'd like to at least her to pretend she had some pleasure and then cuz I don't want to do anything after you know it's oh gosh I'm done geez now I gotta go do this oh no the closest you'll ever feel to what the boys on Normandy were going through is having to after you're done you got to go now I gotta get I can't do it got to put roll up the sleeves a little delkis This is where they separate the men from the boys right here all right Push through it

Barely conscious push through it capital T Mr.. Oh my God. Yeah, definitely wanted that all over my hand. Anyways, at least Patchett Dumont didn't rip open the whole Luca wound over the weekend. We should play that audio. I was going to say, another positive is that at least you're going to see... You'll have a clear view of the runway before Micah takes off. Right. It'll all be out there, they'll have failed again, it's gonna, you know, implode and Micah will be like, look, I never wanted to

leave, I wanted to wear the star for my entire, you know, career, but I also really want to win a ring. That's what drives everybody. And then the quotes will be how, man, I mean, you walk into this facility here in Philadelphia, and it's just about football. They just talk football, and it's kind of crazy. And it'll be really ironic coming from a guy who's got a podcast studio at the Star.

But still. Yeah, you pointed this out yesterday. You're going to feel better about it, because you're going to have seen it ahead of time. It will not have blindsided you like the Luca thing. Yeah, so Peyton Hendershot was our latest, as he said. This is throwing no strays, but I think it should be shade. I just feel like when I came to Kansas City,

my first experience in the NFL was the Cowboys. That's all I knew. I just feel like here in Kansas City, it is just strictly just football and winning. Nothing else but football and winning. I feel like with the Cowboys, it's a little bit more of the public image. The extracurriculars that come with it too,

and here it's just, let's just win football. It's just not as paramount in Dallas as I think it is here. When you're in Dallas, sometimes it's about pictures and events. HGTVS organization. So anyways, yeah, that was a very boring Super Bowl. It was one of the most dominating defensive performances I've ever seen in my life. If you take the grand scope of it,

considering they're playing Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and a team that went, what, 15 and one before they punted at the end of the year, I believe that was the second worst game of Mahomes' career. Maybe worst, maybe the previous worst I believe by EPA was the Bucs Super Bowl. It felt very much like that game.

Yup. And the play tracking data, at least the last one I saw, not a single blitz. Wow. Never more than four. Or if it was five, it was delayed. Nothing got charted as a blitz.

They had a 20% to 25% blitz rate on the season, and they blitzed zero times last night in Philadelphia. I mean, my weekend check is all about kind of Super Bowl stuff, so I don't know if you guys have anything else for a weekend check But I could tell you that go for it's brought to us by community mechanical community mechanical is our HVAC company Texted them to come out this week. Oh, yeah. Yeah You should if you haven't had your HVAC system looked at recently, just get a preventative maintenance visit. Just get to know these guys. You're gonna love them. They came out, checked out my furnace, and they say the

exhaust duct was a jar, basically dumping carbon monoxide into your attic, according to Travis. And apparently that's bad. It is bad. So Community Mechanical at communitydfw.com or you can call or text 469-667-7290. They offer on-demand repair services for any residential or commercial HVAC or refrigeration issues. They do. And speaking of that, preventative maintenance, if you get that done, they'll buy you, the listener,

Oh, I forgot about that sit-in thing in again. It's community DFW calm. I forgot about that sitting thing. Yeah That's why I did it text For six nine six six seven seven two nine zero Travis and the boys will take care of you that's community DFW dot-com I don't know how much I'm just gonna put you guys through listening again, right? We talked about some of this stuff on the stream

but I Want to go see pivot Jeremy pivot Saturday night at the Arlington Improv went to the late show Solo Did you go? No, okay. You were talking about possibly going. Yeah, it's just a long way over there. For me, it's 22 minutes. That's right on the edge. 25 minutes and under.

I heard from a listener who said he went. In fact, I might have his email here somewhere. Yeah, Mr. Piven had told us kind of vaguely, hey, mention dumb zone and we'll do a meet and greet. But I wasn't exactly sure what and how to do that. Yeah we never really got into it yeah but this guy said I went there to the late show on Friday mentioned the dumb zone I got a pass to the meet and greet with no hassle. Got to talk to him told him I you know drove 45 miles to get there and

blah blah blah anyway he says he was great. That's awesome. He was really cool to him. His opener was CJ Star, who was a local guy you should consider having on the pod. Agreed. That's what it says here. Michael Denton.

He was the feature. So they have the host, right? There was another guy who's up there for 10, 15 minutes at the start. Okay. And he was fine, but CJ Stararr I actually liked, I enjoyed. But it was an interesting dynamic, the Cliff Notes version of it. Is it Cliffs or Cliff? Isn't it Cliff Notes?

I think it's Cliff's Notes. I think that's what everyone always says. I think there's an S on the end of Cliff. So I went to the one that was at Arlington, which I guess I'd never really put together that Arlington primarily books. Remember that phrase. Keep it in your head. Dan is right.

Dan is right. Maybe more minority comedians, whereas Addison books more white. It's not exclusive. But I learned this from talking to a couple ladies at my table and It was a table of six. I had a single there were two there was they walked me in it was a table in the back There were two black women there that were probably late 50s early 60s dressed very nicely They were sitting across from each other then the two middle chairs were empty and then next to the empty chair

That was a black guy and I walked up they led me to my table and the guy's like here this is you and he pointed to the seat in between the older black lady and the 40-something black guy and I walked up and I I thought I was trying to be polite or cool like I don't know why did they assign me in the middle of these people? That's weird. So I just kind of gestured to both of them and I was like, do one of you guys want to move over

so you can sit together? And the lady looked at me and was, she just goes, no, why? Okay, you assumed they were together. I did. And you called them those people to their face. And then I sat down and we became good friends, me and these two women. I'll get to that. Were you their little boy toy in their head? They were asking me

a lot of questions about my life. Okay. Yeah. But she, I was like, you guys want to move over and sit together? And she's like, no, why? And I was like, haha And then I sat down and her and her friend were sharing a dish of food and I believe Properly nailing me with sarcasm. She reached down picked it up what she had and said and would you like a chicken wing? I was like damn I feel like that was intentional you take her up on it. I did not I was pretty shook I folded in the moment. Weird show. Just a weird show, man. I mean, I don't know if it's just, like I said,

I've been to three shows since Trump got elected. The crowd, it's just different, right? Jeremy Piven is going to say the F slur and the R word. And he doesn't really have a joke behind it. F? Oh, bundle of sticks? Yeah. British cigarette?

So some comedians you might hear say it in a way that it's part of an observation, a story, a joke. But also there's going to be some like Jeremy Piven who are just like, Trump won, and now I can say F. Is that how he phrased it? Framed it? Yes. Yeah.

And half the crowd erupts. Like they're so happy to hear it? Yes. Framed it? Okay. Yeah, and Half the crowd like erupts like they they're so happy. Yeah, and like I've said the gayest thing I think being super like I'm gonna cheer for the word retard. I think that's as gay as policing language to a crazy degree And it's also not a joke There's really no joke there. So it was a weird dichotomy because these women had told me, you know, they profiled me and they were like, have you been to this Addison, or this Arlington club before?

You usually go to Addison. I've been here a couple times, I've been to Addison a few times. She's like, oh, because this is the most white people we've ever seen here. Like they go go they're just old women who are like not old but you know there's somebody they just go to comedy clubs they're both they're both single you know if you're in it well it's usually if I'm in a different city I'll be like oh yeah nothing to do comedy club all right let's

just go go see whoever's up up there so I don't know it's tough to figure it out culturally like who's where but the best thing you can do when you're a little fish out of water there make sure I find laughing making fun of all race is funny right so yes it's a little awkward when the guy the black comedian is doing comedy about black people never being on time I'm laughing very hard at that because that is a stereotype type that guy, the black comedian is doing comedy about black people never being on time. I'm laughing very hard at that because that is a stereotype that is often true folks. But I also laugh very hard at things about white people, almost universally true. So at that point of the lady, we were cool. We were talking.

But they also had clearly not heard the F slur in a very long time. The girls? The ladies, the older ladies. And they were in a word appalled. Like almost walked out. Oh. A very like, he did not. He did not. Now that we're looking around the crowd. But I wonder if it's because of the context he threw it out into. If you had a joke where the word fag was a punchline. It's possible. Or whatever. It'd be like. It's possible, and it wasn't that.

And that will get me to my last point, which is just, it was entertaining. I really liked the opener. And Jeremy Piven, he has a couple good lines, but mostly he's just telling stories and observations about what it's like to be Jeremy Piven, he has a couple good lines, but mostly he's just telling stories and observations about what it's like to be Jeremy Piven. While also kind of complaining about the fact that everybody knows him,

because he's Jeremy Piven who is Ari. So he doesn't have a lot of relatable observational humor? No, no, but he does a very good job at making his presentation of what he views as his side of the story. You can tell when he's talking to us he's a little mad at the world maybe a little bit like hey why am I not Leo DiCaprio? Why am I not bigger? Yeah, yeah. He projects that. He does it in a funny way, but it's not what I would call stand-up comedy right now. But yeah, had a nice little night.

It's just interesting that you were sitting around and just decided, I'm going to go see Jeremy Piven. I'm going to go drive 30 miles away. Thought it'd be just something to tell you guys on the show, and that's why I did it. You know? I don't know. I know you did something else yesterday.

Are we not getting that today? Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not ready to do it. I have a lot of audio and video to go through. But I did go yesterday to a reptile convention. What? In grapevine. Repticon.

Now I can see that. You knew it was a bit. It's in grapevine. Yeah. And listen, part of it too is when you stop drinking, like there's this thing that happens to a lot of people where they get jammed up because they don't do anything after that.

And it's like, that's not a way to live. If, yes, if your whole everything is built around drinking. And you're like, I'm a guy who likes to go do stuff. I go to baseball games because you can drink at the game. And I go here. I still want to go do shit that I like doing. Yeah.

And not just be like, well, I'd normally go to bed at 9, and I get up at 4. Sometimes I want to mix it up a little bit. So yeah, Repticon yesterday was at the Grapevine Convention Center. And Clayton has been before. It's a traveling. No way. it's a traveling away it's a traveling affair a lot of the vendors are traveling a lot of them are local

but they just they set up a reptile convention and it was awesome was that did anybody there look like Clayton law half half it's exactly what you think it is about throwing anything a buddy of mine went Well, let me tell you this nicest group of folk you could ever encounter you want to do some fun man on the street bits You can't find a safer place than reptile place I pulled up my buddy went with me and we we filmed all of it and you know recorded whatever and I pulled up parked and I'm like are you here and he goes I'm here And there are a lot of bumper stickers in this parking lot. That's what you're dealing with right there Lots of bumper stickers. Oh Binyan never came to the Super Bowl. I don't know

I forgot we had him. But he went with me To ask tough questions like have you ever owned a sword? It's exactly what you think it was. There were a lot of guys that looked like the comic book store owner from The Simpsons. There were a lot of dudes who, this is their life. Like they grew up around reptiles. Got a little bit of a reptile nepo baby type vibe.

Like, well my dad had snakes and now I have. And the other thing, I get this sense there's not a lot of people kind of into reptiles. Interesting. Yeah. I mean, and you could take out snakes and stuff and hold them, snakes that were $1,000. They breed them, you know, is what it is,

is that there's people there that breed snakes and sell them for dollars, they breed them, you know, is what it is, is that there's people there that breed snakes and sell them for beautiful, beautiful animals. So people are going to buy, sell, and trade reptiles? Correct, and also reptile-related accessories. Your terrariums, your food, filtration system. I didn't see any mice, but yeah. Crickets.

There was a cricket place there, like passing out business cards. But nobody, you know how it is. Dan knows, he's got balls. He'll go do man on the street stuff. It can suck because you have to find the right person. You have to approach them properly. Dude, this was throw a rock.

This was layups. We'd wanted to leave an hour before, but then I'd pass somebody and and I'm like, fuck it. I probably got to talk to this lady. Yeah. And they're excited to talk. Yeah. They want you to know about their stuff.

Yeah. And they can't believe you know they have a sword at home. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And how they cross-bred this one with that one. And it was wild, dude. It was a wild time. But it was fun. It was a fun weekend.

So I wanted to do something for the show as well. So Saturday... Oh, somebody wants to do something for the show? What was that supposed to be? I don't know. It doesn't bother me at all. I went to the Mavs game. Whoa! I did not know that.

I didn't either. He packaged this well. Took the kid. Perfect time. Two o'clock. Took the train down there. We got there early and I wanted to scope the building. I just scored ticks. I just bought them. Did you? I I tried, I thought that they would go down because I thought people were gonna be selling off their tickets at this team.

But as we got closer and closer to tip, the price kept going up and up and up. So I probably lost 40 bucks trying to wait for a cheap ticket. Yeah, for the AD debut, I could have told you that. Now, check in with me a month from now, especially with him hurt, but yeah. That one, there was a lot of excitement. so you saved like four on that coffee this morning

So you're down 36 took the train save some money on parking, okay? I've got an employee. We have your whole plus-minus for the we don't say what you're about to say and Brooks rides the train for free so didn't spend much on the train. Oh, I thought he was about to give away some sort of... I don't park in that garage anymore. He took the train! I know, but he started to say, I still have an employee something. Oh, okay.

No, employee dart pass. Okay. And so, that's for the year, so didn't save, or didn't spend any money on transportation or anything. Wow. So I'm probably still down a little. And you're plus minus for the week? Yeah.

But we'll get there. I'd love to see your chart. Do you chart it like Tony, the engineer? No. But I got days worth of food from Eatsies, so I won't be spending much on food. Heck yeah. And so yeah, I got down there.

And I feel like it was a pretty hoppin' atmosphere for what, game 50, you know? And I started noticing that the trash cans outside of the arena were full of stuff, especially walking in, because I saw a bunch of signs that had writing on it that security made them throw away. So I don't think I saw any signs as he walked in there. Now there were people doing stuff outside but once you got in the first thing I heard was

Sean Heath say you know respect you know everyone's just respect everybody any vulgar language or signs or anything you will be removed from the game and suspended like they said that message four or five times throughout the game, that if you were to start any sort of chant or yell anything, they were gonna kick you out. It's just, it's so ridiculous. It just can't get worse.

So you can chant, fuck the refs. Ref, you suck, yeah. Whatever, yeah. And everything's gonna be fine, but if anything's actually directed your way. It's, dude, it's just, it's, oh, God. They can't, so I saw a Fire Nico shirt you can't wear that in.

Yeah. A, I mean, I guess when it comes to obscenity, some people think the word sucks is an obscenity. You can't chant sell the team. You can't chant fire Nico. I heard you can't even put a strip of tape over your Mavs logo. That I had confirmed by several people. Wow. Several people.

Yeah, I mean one of the reasons I went was for the show. I wanted to see, I just wanted to be there and see what it was like in person and there was nothing. There was no Nico chants. There were no Luca chants, there was nothing. It was like nothing had ever happened. Yeah. So when they say, oh man, the fans really acted respectfully and that, because I kind of heard, I heard Winhorse and Tim McMahon talking about this this morning on their podcast

and they were kind of saying, yeah, there was a protest outside, but then once you got talking about this this morning on their podcast. And they were kind of saying, yeah, there was a protest outside. But then once you got in, everything was fine. They didn't have to go through what you went through. They went in the media entrance. Well, also, so they weren't really aware that there was a real concerted effort

to make it appear, oh, yes, just a small protest outside. Nothing to be worried about, because nobody inside, everything inside was fine, see? And on TV, it's fine. Blared the music from what I've heard, like non-stop. That's what my buddy who went told me. Like extra level? Yeah. To drown anything out?

There was no chance really for a chance. No showing fans on the Jumbotron, I believe dude. I was watching wow you're right I was watching not yet. I did not I did not notice that I did not because I was watching live on League Pass So there's no commercials wow I didn't mean they never went ever okay, and they did do a few games but they were I Don't know it felt like wouldn't do a trivia game when they do that no let them have an answer they didn't do that they did the ball in the cup thing the fry toss yeah what a burger for a year yeah they did

that people said that like if you tried to start a chant, they were coming down to you. I would like to hear from someone who, well, and they would never do it publicly, someone who works there, I'd like to know what were the meetings like? All right, they get all the workers together, and all right, let's have a talk about what we're going to do, and this is what we will and will not accept and all that kind of stuff.

Because clearly those people were threatened with their jobs and I would like to hear from someone behind the scenes. We'll keep you anonymous. My section tried to not, and I was not involved in it, but like a bring back Luca chant, but you know, I didn't see see it just kind of fizzled Yeah, this one they this this guy had a sign with his son it just says first Mavs game. Where's Luca? Thanks, Nico They said anything to do with Nico was banned You pussies

Dude this is sports. This is how it works. You get to go yell and cheer or boo at people. It's the one thing, we have a public space here. This is part of the reason why you make so much money. Because you are available to public criticism. Don't go to the guy's house, don't yell at him when he's trying to get his free coffee.

But if you're at the game, the game is the game. And it's like the team is like well we are respectful we are not gonna put up a hate video or something like that but the fans can be just the fans part of the ones that paid the big money to be there it's it's very very annoying and and more than anything I can just tell, you guys can't do this forever. Well, they can. Well, they're gonna do it for the Lakers game. Okay. Okay.

Yeah, so we're gonna be there. We'll see. So I made sure to get there in plenty of time because I wanted to hear Anthony Davis get introduced. And so when it finally hit me that Luka was not here anymore, it was just all of their pregame packages didn't have them in there. And I thought... Dude, they had to scramble to read everything on the website.

They have M77L signs everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. Everything around this, everything around everything was built around him. It was basically the Dallas Lucas. I saw a Choctaw billboard on Sunday, and they're an official sponsor of the Mavs.

And they had the M77L up on Sunday. I'm like, boy. Tough to get that billboard down. I think it might have been digital. Oh, I don't know I mean, but still there's a lot to cover, you know Yeah, how do we is they got we scrub all of this stuff in a week to take down the the pillar at Love Field? No, it's like that was always a cool thing to see when you show up there But it was huge. It was City Edition They were in their white City Edition uniforms,

which they had the package up for it. Did you wear the Kyrie I bought you? No, I'm sorry. But it was just like a lot of Kyrie, some clay, some Daniel Gafford, and it's just like, okay. Like, this was probably mostly Luca before. All their highlights are now just,

it just felt a little weird, like trying to remove your ex from your Facebook or something. Yeah, do they? It's strange. What about how did Clay get so open? Did they show the guy making that pass? Did they show who is giving the lob

or did they just cut that out? I was thinking that Luca has missed some time so they probably had plenty of footage But you're right But there no no no passing like there's look in the background or that's Luca on the pass or on the lob Or it was just like he never existed What are they gonna do if this is a topic over the weekend with the boys are they gonna do a video? They probably not they're not gonna do a tribute video to Luca. I think I agree with you and that's insane.

They do it for everyone else. KP, Dorian, who were great, but yeah. Bronson even, but yeah, dude. Guy leads you to the, like. Carlisle, well I guess he won the title, but. Anyway, so I was very, I don't know, it just felt weird watching all of that, and then I was very curious to hear the reception that Anthony Davis got.

And he got a huge ovation. He should. And I think it's partially due to excitement that you're ready to see him play and watch it, but I think the other half is you know how mad some people are, and he's getting some of the brunt of that. And so I think they were just trying to make him

feel welcome. Just show, hey, it's not you, bro. Right, right. Which is cool. I mean, it is you, like we don't wanna trade Luca for you. But. Yeah, but. Like we don't wanna trade Luca for Jokic.

No. We don't wanna trade Luca for Janis. No, or 10 Pigs, or whatever. The whole thing is, do you want to, you know, I don't want to trade, although sometimes I do, I don't want to trade my daughter for someone else who has a better GPA and is ahead of her in life. Doesn't need any money. Yeah, you know, oh, she's already, oh, we just traded your daughter, your 20-year-old daughter for a, she's 26. She's an accountant.

She's already making 150 grand a year. Like she's on her own, like, oh wow. Mm-hmm. I don't have to live through this. Like the immaturity that I'm dealing with right now, I'm looking for a job and doing this and that, like yeah, it's it's pretty frustrating Why don't you just give up? I wish I could just yeah, I mean

And now she wants to go to graduate school. I'm gonna give more money to this immature person again So I think I would like to look around and see if I could get a different kid who is a little older. No, I think if you did that you would be considered a psychopath without any human feelings. Luca was our kid! And that's what it feels like we're dealing with here. That or just... You saw him, we basically saw him get born. In the NBA world. We saw him at birth.

We tricked this other family to get this baby. We recognized it and then nurtured it. Can I say something real quick? That's a funny thing to me that you'll hear people say, well, the Mavs have decided they're out of the Luka Dacic business, which again, I'd still like to hear who that is besides Nico., and they're like, look, that's four teams now, you know? The sons, the kings, the Hawks, and now the Lakers, or excuse me, now the Mavs.

I'm like, well, you should go ask those first three teams if they regret that or not. Yeah, they fired their GMs for not picking him. Yeah, and they haven't been close to where the Mavs are. Well, I mean, obviously the Hawks did have a one shining moment, but still, all three of those teams would be like, yeah, do over, please.

And you saw that those three teams felt that way and were like, we'd like a piece of that. We'd like to be in on the boy we really regret not having Luke a deal. But the good news is that he did get a good response and he played great. And that was fun to watch, whether you're a Mavs fan or not,

because he was doing the like, oh, Mavs in here. Yeah, yeah, so he comes out, he gets a huge ovation, and it was like, you had so much energy pregame, and then once you finally got in your seat, everything was settled, it was now like, okay, go ahead, what you got? And he didn't disappoint. I mean, I think one of the first plays that he made an impact was defensively.

I think he got a block, which led to a fast break bucket, and then you can just kind of sense that like the energy in the place is kind of growing. And then I remember he hit an early three, and everyone went nuts. That was awesome. And then he had the put back dunk, and then it's just so much better being there in person.

Because you just like, you get to focus in on what you want to see. And just watching him do the put back dunk, Houston calls time out, he walks to center court doing this, and then the camera goes to him and he says, I'm here. And everyone is just like, oh shit. It was really, really cool to watch. It's a weird situation because you still are like, man, I really don't want anything good

to happen that could seem good for Nico Harrison. So you're like, boy, Anthony Davis seems like a cool guy. Still love the players they have, but them winning means Nico feels good about himself, which I never want to have happen again. So it's tricky, but in the moment, I got a little caught up myself. But same thing, right? Flip side of that, I don't want Anthony Davis to be hurt. No. It doesn't do me any good. But the fact that he is hurt...

It's not that big of a surprise. Oh, it's certainly not a surprise. He's missed... He's hurt when you... He's missed way more games over the past five years than Luca has. Yeah. And... He's old. Wait, he's missed way more games over the past five years than Luca has yeah And he's old yes your your rationale for Luca was I don't think he's gonna hold up Yeah, and I don't let me go get I don't want him to get hurt

But at the same time when I see now he's out indefinitely I am sad to say it makes me happy I Got an email because I know it makes Nico look dumb. I read you an email. Let's not mistake this 8, this is from Nick. Let's not mistake this AD injury for a random variance injury, such as somebody stepping on a foot and twisting an ankle. This injury is likely correlated to the extreme non-AD slash non-sustainable effort he gave in the first half, an outstanding half. It is not something that a 30-plus year old AD will ever be

able to maintain. The Niko apologist, I can't see that there's many of those, but we'll say they see N Nico knew what he was doing. But I assert the first half performance is fool's gold if you think that is what the AD experience will be. This trade, given AD's injury history, is doomed. I will say that two years from now, Max Christie will be the silver lining and a good foundational and versatile piece.

Would have been cool if Nico could have somehow got Christie without giving up someone who would almost certainly go down as a top 15 player of all time. So basically it's the it was a great half it was unbelievable but that's you're just not going to get that for four quarters a game for 82 games. No I mean you're going to get good spurts of that. But probably less and less as time goes on because he's at the end of his prime where Luca is just entering his prime. The one thing I would disagree with Nick on,

and I tried to touch on this in the D Magazine piece I wrote, but it was probably out there before people were ready to talk about it. No, he's not going to put up twenty up 24 plus plus plus and a half often. But when he's able to play, and if he's playing 65 games a year, he's playing enough, your defense is going to be top five. Like there's really just no way around that. But how about, weigh that against the loss of offense.

It's horrible. You were already very good defensively. Everything you want a bad defensive thing about the offense is everything ran through this guy. Like you can't say, ah, two minutes left, we're going to give it to AD and get out of the way. Like you can with Luca.

Now, and Luca can also make it easier for others than in that last five minutes. Like Jokic can. Yeah. AD doesn't, AD's an underrated passer, but he's not like, he's not a Jokic or a, you know, a facilitating big. And Luka average, what was he last year? 34, nine and nine? Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah, it's, it's, what are you going to say? But again.

And he was having a bad year this year, because he was like 32, 8, and 8. But then, you know, it was a quiet, quiet night. Everybody's like, oh, the injury's not as bad as we think it is. And then this motherfucker. I wake up Sunday morning. Yeah, I read that he was trying to get back into the game in the fourth quarter. Like, oh, yeah, it's not that bad. Oh, we're talking about Sunday was first it was Dumont.

No, he was talking about Patrick Dumont started talking. Did you hear this? No, go ahead. I'm not plugged in because I wasn't prepared to play on the UNSFWF. Well, let's do it. Let me first tell you about Elite Rides DFW. Oh, yeah. Got a couple spots today.

But that's how you can get to the game instead of a The dart you can go your premier transportation solution. That's what a lot of people will do You know, you got a group of guys going to a game.

And it's first the article just came out. It was from Brad Townsend. And he spoke to Dumont Saturday night. I don't exactly know the context here, but it's very clear that when Dumont did not have to be goaded into this, this was like a hey, care to comment? He's like, yes I would.

I've been waiting to sell everybody when I think about this. Was Nico at the game? No, not at all. Not in the seats, not in the suite. Cowardly. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, cowardly that he's not the guy talking to Brad Townsend.

Also, pretty chicken shit to put Falwell out there for that press conference the other day. What was that? Couple days ago, you were laughing your dick off out here in Cleveland. What was that? Couple days ago you were laughing your dick off out here in Cleveland. What was that? They introduced Anthony Davis and Max Christie the other day and they had Follow LMC in.

Yeah, and Caleb Martin. Nico wasn't there? No. No. Can't hide forever though bud, you're gonna have to come to one of these games and you're gonna have to hear it from all of us. And then you're gonna have to keep hearing one of these games and you're gonna have to hear it from all of us. And then you're gonna have to keep hearing it

until you quit or they fire you. But right now, doesn't sound like they're gonna be firing them. Here's the owner. In my mind, the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create

a championship winning outcome. If you're not doing that, you're gonna lose. You would know, right? So he said in my mind, the way teams win. That was his thing. Yeah, and if you don't do it that way, you're gonna lose. If you're not doing that, you're gonna lose. And if you look at the greats in the league,

the people you and I grew up with. Jordan. Way too long to name a second basketball player. Way too long. Jordan. Bird. Magic. Kobe.

Shaq. They worked really hard every day. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's slow down a little bit here. Watch Shaq last week telling everybody I haven't worked out in the summer of my entire life. Yeah, so let's break this whole thing down. Yeah.

Who was it? Jordan, Bird? Who? Magic. Magic. Shaagging Kobe. OK. Magic, tagging every single piece of ass he could. Didn't cost him anything in his career, though.

Well, no. But as far as out partying every, yeah, I guess it did. I'm sorry. It cost him his entire effing career. Yeah. He was no longer able to bleed in public. Larry Bird, off seasons would be cementing his own driveway or some shit. Like he'd get hurt in the off season

because he was farming. He wasn't sitting there just working on basketball. That's Michael Jordan. I'll give you Michael Jordan. And probably Kobe, but he also came with his off. You know what else I'll give you as a comp with Michael Jordan is like every statistical, you know, youngest player since and then it would be Michael Jordan and LeBron.

So yes, Kobe, maniacal work ethic, I do believe a lot of that his rep changed over time. Certainly had a quick rape trial. But he was also a bit of a petulant child that had to like mature into this. Oh, he wasn't ready to roll at the age of 20 or 23 or whatever. He kind of had to grow into that. Shaq, that's a hilarious one because yes the reason Kobe wanted Shaq out of LA, because this guy won't work as hard as me. Who's the other one? Well documented. Was there another one? No, Magic. He went with three Lakers, but there wasn't, you know, Dirk. And let me, yeah, let me read you Haralabob's tweet. The arena sits on a street named Nowitzki Way.

Out front a statue honors him and his silhouette is etched onto the court. And yet when it came time to reach deep for an example of a relentless worker, someone who set the cultural tone of an organization who could serve as a barometer for his work ethic, he came up with Shaq. Ha ha ha ha. And let's talk about Dirk. Let's talk about the fact that he's employed by the team. And if you're really trying to reach Luca, because you couldn't because you're a shoe salesman,

and you couldn't because you're a you're not that great of a coach you're Jason Kidd you were a superstar at one point but if things you're saying to him are falling on deaf ears there is a guy that will he does listen to that he straightens up when he walks into a room that he wants to impress and that is Dirk and maybe you've pulled Dirk aside, maybe you need to develop a really good relationship with Dirk because you're a relationship guy, right? Develop that relationship so that you can implore him to, hey, maybe you need to get a little closer to him, you know what, we'll pay you more, we'll do whatever, like let's

usher him now into the next step. You helped usher him into the first stage of his career, and that really helped, I think. Having you around those first couple of years is not lost on this organization, what that meant, in getting Luca going in the right direction. But he does really look up to you. Maybe you guys could talk about how you changed your habits

and this and that. You wouldn't have won your title until, I mean, just kind of work with us. We do pay you and stuff. Yeah, and I think some of that has been happening. I know that they're close, but also he's 25. Just give it more time. Dirk's not going to come in and be like... But do you blame the player?

or like I thought I Thought you brought in these coaches for a certain reason you brought in Jason kid Not to relate to the guy on the bench. That's how a lot of coaches are brought in, you know You're Rick Carla. I was a grinder you brought him in just to motivate this superstar So I would have to say, if there's a failure here, it's with the guy I hired as coach, and I'll get a different coach then. I need this Phil Jackson that'll make him read a book or about Zen or whatever the F.

In fact, I believe that's when Kobe turned a bit of a corner. For sure. When Phil Jackson came in. Before that, you know what? Kobe was immature like a lot of players under 25 are. Yeah, the kid angle was very interesting. I wish we could know. I hope that we learn more about it in the coming weeks.

I'm viewing them as a team. Right now, I kind of am too. I just can't believe that Jason Kidd didn't know anything because I would want my coach. Like, I even think Carlisle, for the butting heads that he did with Luca, if you said to Carlisle, hey, I'm thinking of trading him, no! It's great having him as a coach because it really

does make me a better coach. I can do so much more with him on the floor. And I think Jason Kidd said, you know what? You got a point here. He isn't listening to us. And yes, Anthony Davis, hard worker. I can make this work because you know what? Let me tell something that Run the Ball Blake would love to hear. Defense wins championships. Hell yeah, it does. Does it? You need to be top 10. You don't need to put all your, I think it's probably 65-35. And there've been studies on this.

I just, I'm out of touch on my. Like what are we, the 1984 Pistons or whatever the hell, they, you know. You know what wins championships? We're holding teams under 80 every game. We're winning games, 90 to 88. Good teams in the NBA make their free throws. And Luca, historically a little lower than you'd expect.

Wouldn't practice his free throws. They're free. Yeah, you know what? He should work on them harder, like, I don't know, Shaq. No, to me, that's a guy that doesn't believe anything he says. He's just regurgitating what someone else has told him. Sounds that way. Oh, we have more?

Oh yeah. They worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, then it doesn't work. And if you don't have that, you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks. That's who we are. I'm unwavering on this.

The entire organization knows this. This is how I operate outside of basketball. This is the only way to be competitive and win. If you want to take a vacation, don't do it with us. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A If you want to take a vacation, don't do it with us. Ah! Ah! Well there must be a guy who just kind of worked so hard he worked his way into the position he's in in life. Is that right?

Did he just do that? He was just so good at business that he had to be elevated to this, to running a team? No, his in-laws are rich. Yeah, I mean he was a mate. I'm sure his parents were super well. If you're starting out at a Bear's St- I don't know. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I feel like we're being trolled by the world. So wait, he married the daughter of the people who bought the team

and that's why they're like, well we'll let him run the team. Yeah, he knows a lot about basketball. I mean this is how- but it's any business. This is how you win. You win by with a singular focus. This guy, look, dude, yes, the guy yells at refs. He's not in 100% shape physically all the time. He's gonna, he took a week off earlier this year to try to get in better shape when his wrist was hurting him and they said Hey, it's his wrist. It was really that he was trying to get in better game shape. He's playing 40 minutes a night in the playoffs and

Leading you to the finals this guy's problem right here is he doesn't know what a killer looks like Because he doesn't know that like oh, yeah, the dude has some beers and He's at 13% instead of 10% body fat. No one cares when the ball is in his hand with two minutes left. What the other team that he's playing, the other team's not like, I got his ass. I know he didn't lift yesterday. Yeah.

They're not like, I got his ass. I know he went with the Tierra Massoud last night. You know what they're thinking? They're thinking I'm terrified because we're facing a killer and they don't make many of those. You don't meet many of those. And that's what Anthony Edwards said in game four or five,

I don't remember. They were gonna come out on fire but then Luca hit four straight threes and we lost. Luca, that MFer had other intentions. Yeah. So there was a picture circulating around of Luca, what was it, he had his ice pack on his chest, he was getting his knee wrapped,

he had something for his shoulder in the Celtic Series. And most of us looked at that picture and saw, dude, what a warrior. Like he's battling through injuries, he's playing 40 minutes a night, he's carrying this team to the finals. And Nico saw that picture and was like, out of shape. How can you do that?

Kobe would never be wrapped up like that before a game. Yeah, I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind. And especially what pisses me off about these comments is this is after he saw the way that people bit the bullet and supported the team on Saturday. They saw that people came out and cheered for Anthony Davis and got really, really excited for the rest of the guys. The best thing that could have happened

for Nico in Dumont happened Saturday, and then that night he's like, I'm gonna burn this thing right back to the ground. Shit on our superstar. To say nothing of what this makes you look like to other teams. Because here's the thing, Luke is not thought of like that throughout the league.

He's not Tristan Thompson, where every team's like, I don't even know, this guy's kind of a weirdo. He shows up when he wants to. The rest of the league thinks the guy's a killer. Oh, very disconcerting. We have a show account for the MavsTV and I want to cancel it. I think we have to, just for the symbol... the symbol... symbolism. That's fine. I have a way to watch. I knew I'd get that word. I'm still going to write about the Mavs. I just don't think we should give them our money on that.

It's fine with me. I think we did an annual though, didn't we? Well, still. And I've heard from other people who have done an annual, but they're watching the game. I was talking to Spinks this weekend. Yeah. He's like, yeah, I'm watching the Mavs game. I actually canceled, but I had paid for the year up front.

But I just think I just want another number on that list. I want the, if it's 3,000, I want to get to 4,000. I just want them to know that they are idiots. I want it to be a financially worse situation for them because a lot of this decision, I believe, was made financially. In fact, yeah, that had to be the entire basis for it. That's what I thought in the beginning, and that's what I still think, just because they weren't the ones here when Luca signed his extension. When Cuban was like, I'll, I'd get divorced

before I got rid of Luca, and you know, did you see some Niko clips floating around online this weekend of what Niko had said at that press conference? That he's taking the job because of Niko? Or because of Luca? What's the point of you talking about? Nico was at the Luca signing and extension press conference and just did the regular,

I mean, he was working for Cuban at that point. And so we've realized Nico didn't truly believe what he was saying, that he's, you know, what a great young player and it's a pleasure to be around him and build around him and- Yeah, I mean- Makes our jobs easier. the sensible things to say but who would have thought he didn't actually believe it no no one in but I will tell you for

whatever it's worth that this is not included in the audio but he did address the financial part of it and went with the absolutely not. That he addressed like, hey, I don't know why anybody thinks we're moving the team. We have businesses all over the world. We have no interest in moving to Vegas, which what are you gonna say? But I do believe that. I do believe that.

I believe you're not gonna move a team out of the top five market into Vegas. Yeah. But he categorically denied that the trade was financially driven. So if there was no super max due next summer, that this trade would have still been made. That's what I'm to believe. I honestly and truly believe Nico Harrison got tired of dealing with Lucas bullshit.

He was tired of him being overweight, out of condition, and he was just really tired of someone that was just not going to listen to anything he said. You know when you get tired of that is when the production doesn't match the. Well, and then, okay, then maybe it is a touch financial because you know that you're about to have to sign up to five more years of this guy, but boy, I wouldn't be surprised if Kid

had a little bit of input here. Yeah, or. I wouldn't either. Just, I don't know, just tired of having to do it. Just because I don't think they do it if kid like screams do not do it. No, I think that probably would have carried some weight. I think it would have carried more weight than Cuban because apparently, you know, Cuban, according to Mark Stein, kind of tried to throw a Hail Mary.

Oh, he jumped into this somehow? Yeah. Like he knew about it? Yeah. Cuban, according to Mark Stein, kind of tried to throw a Hail Mary. Oh, he jumped into this somehow? Yeah. Like he knew about it? Yeah. At the very end, and they said it wasn't enough. What does that mean? Let's see.

I'm trying to see if there's, yeah, I signed up for the old. The Stein line? By the time Cuban found out about the look for AD trade, it was too late. Dumont never approached for advice. Sources say Cuban urged Harrison not to go ahead with the swap, only to find out that the deal

had already been sealed with the Lakers by verbal handshake. Verbal handshake. We're still doing that? To me, if I'm Cuban. That doesn't mean shit, especially Cuban's been burned by that before. If I'm Cuban, I call Mark Stein right away. And I'm like, hey.

Yeah. League sources say, and you just torpedo the deal. I'm sure there's legal ramifications for that, although you know, you do have the privacy of speaking with a journalist. Then Mark continues, Stein. And truth is, he has clearly been stung league sources by the lack of advance warning he had on the deal yet another harsh signal that he's been pushed farther and farther away from the front office than he ever imagined

after his very public belief at the time of the sale in 2023 that he would retain oversight of basketball operations. And we talked about this, there was an article that Stein had in November where he talked to Cuban and Cuban basically said, hey this is not going how they told me it would. Forbidden this season by the NBA to take his seat behind the Mavs bench at road games and that he quote, did not have the say so over basketball matters that he anticipated when the sale was agreed to. Which is interesting because TC brought this up to me the other day.

We don't make a big enough deal out of how little they sold for. Like that should have been way more. What was it? I don't remember, but it was like, that doesn't feel like a bank breaker. And stands to reason that Cuban's likeans like yeah I'm not trying to bend these people over like I want to work here I still want to be a guy who's

involved I own 27% of the team or whatever the specific number turned out to be and that's not what it turned out to be he's basically just like me or you. Except I would have called Mark Stein. And I have a lot of, I mean there's so many different things. 3.5 billion. We haven't talked about Kyrie. Like I don't want to believe that Kyrie knew about this or was supportive of it. He seemed genuinely very sad when talking about it

right after the trade, but then he made some comments this weekend I'm like that's a little weird. Well, like oh, I just want to have a better environment around me I think that Kyrie is a man who Has learned much like you perhaps right you've learned like you've got a Deal with life in a certain way and you want positivity surrounding you. Yeah, what does it help him to just... If he would come out and just be pissed and like he knows within himself,

yes this just confirms what I've thought and it's a harsh business and guess what? Guess who's going to be asking for a max this summer because these guys are up against it. Had they still had Luca and Kyrie's a free agent, there's no way he gets a max deal. Yeah, that's true. He would get whatever he could get on the open market, which wouldn't be as much as the Mavs could give him, and the Mavs could negotiate that to what they wanted. But he is definitely very much needed right now, because if he walks, you're really F'd. Just a quick Google search says here,

Mark Cuban, majority owner for two decades, retained a 27% stake in the team. The unique sale valued the club at $3.5 billion, whereas an open market sale would have likely produced a much higher bid. That's what I'm saying. Is that there was some sort of weird... When you do that, I'm about to get way out of my depths, but I have heard of people who did this before.

I guess you have to write it down, paper it up. When you just sell to one person, there's no bidding, there's no like, give me all your offers. It's like a show of like, hey, I wanna keep dealing with you. I also remember back in the day when that happened, we heard of a term that we were enamored by, which was control share. Like I could own 10% of the team,

but I own the control share. Which apparently he doesn't, but we were thinking that he did. Yeah, it's weird. I mean and he said at the time like hey This is gonna and I read a couple things about this this weekend like hey the next phase of owning teams is gonna be about real estate right hotels casinos development and Cuban just said hey, that's not really my game like these that's their game and they with their stewardship This will value the front increase the value of this franchise

Exponentially and his 27% will be worth just as much as his hundred percent exactly today Yeah, in the same way that he was with media and technology in the early 2000s That's how they are with slot machines, and so he probably, you know, that was the reason. It gets murkier when you get to the, how much control did he think he was gonna have versus how much he had. I get the sense that Nico really didn't like Mark Cuban, which is interesting

because nobody else was going to hire him. But who knows, man, it's a mess. Well, but not when you look at it in the lens else was going to hire him. But who knows man, it's a mess. Well, but not when you look at it in the lens of when we were talking to Ethan Strauss last week. The thought of Nico getting hired was not to actually be the GM. It was to be the relationship guy part of my multi-faceted GM ship. I have this guy over here, I got Harallah Bob over here, I got Donnie Nelson over here. They do different things, they war at times, but I love having these great minds to pick from. And in the end, I'm Mark

Cuban, I make the final say on things. You know, I might not do the day-to-day, but I'm, you know, you're not going to make a huge deal without Mark Cuban being involved or having to say so, or at least convincing Mark Cuban. Whereas this Patrick Dumont business guy, you know, not fan, Mark Cuban was a rabid fan. He was a crazy fan before he bought the team. That's why he bought the team But he hired Nico to be he sees the way the wind is blowing in the NBA Oh, look how the Nets got these superstars because they know each other and they have relationships and they have the same agent

What if we have a guy who has relationships across the league because he worked for Nike and He could help us get players in that way, you know, maybe oh, he's got a tie with so-and-so He's got a tie with Kyrie that did work out You know, yeah in that role it seemed like he would but on the GM. Yeah, but it's I Don't know it comes in waves There's times where I forget about it for a minute and then it doesn't seem real and it'll hit me again And then I read the stories weekend the Mark Stein went about Cuban where I forget about it for a minute and then it doesn't seem real and it'll hit me again and then I read the stories this weekend. The Mark Stein one about Cuban where,

I mean it said Cuban had privately told, but we all knew that his dream was to have Luca play here his whole career. I mean how incredible would it have been? It was all of our dream. Yeah, but the fact, yeah, but Cuban, and that's part of the deal too, right, is that Cuban wanted that so maybe he was making concessions

on how they, quote, deal with Luca, that Nico and maybe even Kid didn't wanna deal with. Right, that Kid, Cuban had set it up, like, look, this is his organization, we're gonna do whatever he wants. And that's the way it should've been. And that that guy wanted to stay here, and that it's gone, it's just, I can't.

And here's the thing, I was holding out hope that Dumont would be like, I empower Nico. If this is the decision Nico thinks that he should make, this is what we're gonna go with, this will be his referendum and his report card, we'll see how it goes. Then if they fired Nico in a couple years, I could still be like, well, we'll see about this next guy But now I know the owner's a cunt right and the owner's saying the same you just don't that's why I like this about it

That's why I can't be a man so much for your city right now I cannot be a Mavs fan because you can't chant sell your team at your team. They're not going to He's gonna say that in two years when Nico gets fired. This is how business people operate. Yeah, you're right. He's gonna say Nico approached me about the trade. You know, we'd love to have Luca back. We hear he's a free agent this summer.

We'd love to make this whole. This is how these snakes operate. Well, he's not going back to Dumont. Zero chant. Dude, after this, like what is what are we we had this is like the best one of the best sports stretches of my life following Luca and watching him with my friends and learning everything about him and him putting you in a better mood just by flipping something on in the

first quarter of a Tuesday night game at Orlando and to on the way out be like if you want to take vacation take it somewhere else. Oh really? What are you logging 80 hours a week for you know 362 days a year over here? Dude, people asked me, fuck that guy, especially after we left the ticket was like what's your show about? What do you do on your show? What kind of sports do you do? And I'm like well I mean we can now we focus more on get in depth more on the things we really care about and we can what kind of sports do you do? And I'm like, well, I mean, we can now, we focus more on, get in depth more on the things

we really care about. And we can kind of ignore stuff if we're not really into it. That's a difference in how we have to operate. But I said, they're like, well, what do you focus on? I'm like, pretty much the Cowboys and Luka. That's what I would say. Not the Cowboys and the Mavs. Although, you know, because Luka's on the Mavs, I would be very interested in Mavs moves and all that kind of stuff.

And I do like a lot of the guys and I got to know, you know, we got to know them, watching them and talking to some of them and all that. But we covered them because the Mavs, like Luca is like the Cowboys. He's like the franchise. Like I said, when LeBron left Cleveland, that was a team leaving. Like, that was the whole thing. That's kind of the way the NBA is. That's kind of the way basketball is, where one guy can mean so much. No one is going to pick the Mavs to win a series

that they are mismatched in the series because Anthony Davis is on the team. You just never know. He can elevate the... You know, take a look at the Lakers record the last few years. They will, though. The Mavs, they could be the eighth seed against the one seed, and you're like, I don't know. They have Luca. Anything can happen in this seven-game series. I just don't know. That's the kind of person and player he is.

Yeah, I mean, that to me, I felt the swagger when I went to go see him. Like, personally, I told you guys this, you'd walk into the arena and you could feel it, like, oh, everybody in here knows. When it comes down to it, like, we've got the guy they wish they had. And he does it with a smile. And it's the same shit as when you would root against like Steph Curry you knew. Yeah he's this special. And then it happens and you're like ugh. Speaking of Steph I was thinking about him this weekend and reading about him he only missed like significant time in one of his first five years due to the ankle. He had like five ankle surgeries between college and his first four or five years in the league.

And if you remember, the reason they got him cheap was actually because a lot of people were like, that's never going to hold up. And they believed in him and who knows, a lot of it's luck. His ankles could have snapped. But Steph Curry, there was a lot of concerns about Steph Curry and his body in his early 20s. But they didn't just bail on him because he wanted to be there. Remember Kevin Durant couldn't bench the bar with a plate?

Mm-hm. At the combine? Like, that'll never work out. Two week, doesn't work out. You kill me. The other thing, Ishtak put this in a great way, but it's things we were thinking, I think.

After hearing the DeMont stuff, the high standards that the Dallas Mavericks hold. Ishtock says, Mavs organization having the highest standards for Luca but nobody else. Before Luca came to Dallas, the Mavs didn't win one first round in seven years. Kidd had been a disaster in previous coaching stops. Niko, zero front office experience. Luca was a top five player, five times all-NBA, made the Western Conference Finals. What had the other what had the others done? And somebody replied, it's funny how a generational

talent can make everyone else look like they're really good at what they do. So yes, Mike Brown has a wonderful coaching record. He also happened to have his first job as a LeBron's coach. That makes a lot of a difference, you know? Who's the new, who was the Lions defensive coordinator last year? Aaron Glenn. So he'll, you know, it's going to be tough to judge Aaron Glenn totally. You know, is he that, is he as good as Dan Campbell? Don't know until he's coaching Dan Campbell's team with those players on it. You know, he's going to be coaching the Jets who now are looking for a

quarterback and they're kind of in disarray. It's gonna be, you know, it's tougher to judge when you hire a coach. Greg Popovich is a Hall of Fame coach thought of as perhaps the best coach of all time. How was he after Tim Duncan retired and before they got Wembe? Well, they're about to learn what life is like. They're about to learn what life is like because now they're gonna have to stand on their own. We'll see what happens. And you can't just say oh just tough luck with this AD injury. No, you traded for a guy that this is his history. Yeah, might work hard. Harder than Luca perhaps. But, you know, maybe Jake works harder than Luca.

You're not gonna hire him, you know? There's something about a deep down innate talent. Anyway, we went right from mid weekend check right into. Sorry, I thought it was a good weekend check. Mav's talk. No, I think that's great. But I just don't... I know how you like to label everything and time everything because I think we're just kind of morphing in and out. Because my weekend check...

He's not saying it's mid. It's fine. I said it was great. No, you said you would go from your mid-weekend check. We went mid-weekend... No, it's not mid, yes. We were in the middle of- That wasn't worth the stop down, was it, Blake? Sorry.

No, I got one more thing from the game, but we can do that after the break if you want. Well, go ahead. I'm shifting into football with my weekend check. I needed either yell at kids in the dirt, Kristen, or I'm a Karen, Dan's wife, at the game. What'd you have to deal with? Well, hopefully your wife will age, as ours have,

and she'll mature into a Karen. I don't know. We all see it, you know, my wife wasn't a Karen, but at some point, we got a pile of dirt, and she yelled at some kids in it, and then from then on, it's like, okay, and Jake's just seeing the evolution of maybe yeah I had I think it was two kids behind me that this at the game yeah that would scream at the right

time free throws or when the jumbotron says get loud. But it wasn't a how loud can you get scream. It was, you know when kids reach deep down inside and it's that high pitched scream. Piercing. That pierces your ears. It was right behind me, right in my ears. And it was, like it hurt. They would do it and I would put my head down

and I couldn't. This is so old man. It really is. It just hurt. But the thing. It does hurt though. But it was every, I know, but, and all the people around me would do the thing where they'd like look back up and then I would just make eye contact with them

and be like Jim from the office. Which didn't intimidate them at all. No he's saying people down would look back up at you. Oh I see, all right. To look behind me and I would just like, I'm looking for anyone to just like, can you believe this? So it wasn't just affecting me, it was affecting the entire section. Oh think of the community.

Think of everyone. So and but watching the game I just had this internal battle of well, they are doing it at the right time It's not like just all the time. However, why don't you police your kid? Just a touch because you are they're hurting other people. I need my ears for a living So I just I needed someone next to me to yell at him or at least like look at the, I don't know, a man in the, I don't know, these two parents just did not give an F about what their kids were doing, it just drove me crazy. It hurt dude, it hurt, it's seriously like it rang in my ears and I had a ringing in

my ears. It's still great to see this. It really is. What time today do you have your review of Kevin Costner's Yellowstone to Yosemite? Because the guy you're describing to me is stoked on shows like that. How about Tribunal Minds or? What was it?

Getting all the chairs up here.

My wife had a mini party downstairs with just some of her close friends, and I guess a couple of those bailed at the last second, so it was even less than she thought was going to be down there. And I was thinking, like, Jake was really nice. He said the polite thing when he left. I don't think he really meant it. But it was, oh man, I feel bad just kind of leaving and you guys are having to clean up and everything. I think he said that because I was standing right there and I didn't say anything. Oh, okay. So he wanted to look better than you? Mm hmm. All right. I think this is cute on both of your behalves to act like you don't know that I'm a very helpful friend. I'm about to say something really nice.

But you did sit up here upstairs and wait until they were basically done putting everything up before you went down there. You kind of did. I was hungry. You and Clayton. What if me and Clayton just sit up here and talk while Dan walks up every two minutes and takes another chair down? What if... Anyway. They should be done down there, right?

No, so no, Jake said the polite thing. I don't think he really meant it. He may have waited till the very end to do it. But and then when you left, I said to my wife, that was nice, but you know what I would rather and maybe I'm run-the-ball guy I would rather be I got to clean up the house now guy Then get in my car and drive home or especially drive to Wiley or jet like I don't mind Hosting and having to set up and and then clean up Because I kind of like not having to go then travel. So that's probably an old man thing, not wanting to go.

I don't want to drive at night. Like your dad will tell me, I don't want to drive at night. And I'm like, you know what? I also don't want to drive at night. Yeah. I don't know why. I, on my way home from Piven, I was like, I don't like this, man. I don't like it at all.

30s just mayhem out there. Yeah, these kids. I was like, the drunks are out tonight. And they've been drinking, yeah. I was legitimately afraid driving home. I got mad at myself on the way home because I saw a car do something a little reckless. And no one else in the car.

Just shook my head Super Bowl these people are drinking at these Super Bowl parties and driving home put my life at risk. Amateurs. So the Super Bowl is for a long time I think people have been saying man man, it sucks. The day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. There's a couple of real logical things that Trump, who does seem at some times, is like, why don't we just do this? And then he's like, I'll sign a thing that says we do it, whether that's enforceable

or not. He has mentioned daylight savings time and kind of we're like yeah how come we don't just I want to be light you know and he's claimed that he can do something about that we'll see. But why doesn't he you know election day not being a national holiday that's one of those logical things to me yes there should be just a day that everybody can kind of be often and you get to vote just move it to Saturday well let's just do that both both sides I have my opinions but you do have early voting most you know both

sides are gonna be accusing the other of like the reason we don't do it is because you don't want people to let you come week let's do election week I don't know anyway and the day after the Super Bowl is another real logical, there should be a day off. You definitely have a day off after New Year's Eve. And especially Super Bowl parties are more and more prevalent. And now that I'm a guy who throws a Super Bowl party

every year, it seems, the cleanup and all that, I am up a little later or you know whatever. And so my wife then was telling me last night, she read, so it must be true, the Super Bowl or the day after the Super Bowl is the most called off day of the year. I've heard that before. That employers are expecting I'm going to have the most, the highest percentage of call-offs today. So, you've read some saying, should this Super Bowl be on a Saturday? Much like you say voting day should be, or election day. The Sunday, or the new thing is, and this might just happen organically,

after we add the 18th game, the thought is wouldn't it be great if you had the Super Bowl on Sunday before Presidents Day? Oh, okay. Hmm. Now that's not gonna change our lives because we are sports talkers who are talking about the big game and grinders. But no, that makes sense. And next Monday is President's Day. And so this might just actually work out. Okay. That would make a lot of people very happy. Now, does he need to along with when he's signing that paperwork, does he need to make the kickoff grade again?

We do. If you want If you wanna talk about something that established the Run Guy loves, it's Donald Trump and when Donald Trump attacks football, and he's tired. Listen, I was- Is he anti-kickoff? Yeah. I was promised a dynamic kickoff.

He says, the worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the kickoff, where as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff. The football does not do it, or college football does not do it and won't. Whose idea was it to ruin the game? Ruined the whole game? Yeah.

That's great. Yeah. And I believe he said something like, you know, actually this makes the game more dangerous. Not sure of the logic there, but whatever and then as we get in before we get into the game I will tell you I did have a mini fight with my wife last night after Blake left. Oh Because Blake eatsies marketing bakery, thank you for for catering

So great their Valentine's Day menu is up. You can order it at eatsies.com slash valentines. I think that's the, is that the copy on the thingy there? Let's take a look real quick. Yeah, eatsies.com slash valentines. Go to eatsies.com. You'll figure it out. But yeah, you can order your Valentine's dishes there right now.

But I think if you know me for five minutes, you can order your Valentine's dishes there right now. But I think if you know me for five minutes, you know I'm into eatsies. So they delivered a bunch of food, catered the party, the dual parties really, tiny party and then our big party. And so this is a common thing after one of our streamss is Blake is down there loading it up. Mm-hmm He's gonna take as much as he can and I encourage that I'm working on my plus-minus for the week That's right free meal. I know this game today. Yeah So I said to my wife because we had some wings and then there was some fruit and there was a couple sliders What else did you take?

The rest of the meat and cheese tray the meat and cheese the charcuterie tray. Yeah is what that was That's not what established the wrong guy calls it. It's a it's a tray of meat and cheese Gold guts So he's has all these things and I say to her What if we why don't we just put him in some Tupperware? So we can store him at home and then she's like no no no I'll get a I'll get a baggie or something I'm like no don't get a baggie like then you got to fish it out of it like Let's just give him some Tupperware. He's Blake. He's here every day or whatever.

I'll get it back from him. And if we don't, who cares? Like, do you ever look in your cupboard? There's just a million things in there. It's just pla- whatever. I don't care if we lost half of it. You wouldn't even know tomorrow. You would never know.

Because you're going to acquire more and like, we don't, we're never using. We have a stack of six of this size, six of this size, six of, we've never used them all at once. And she wouldn't do that. She's like, no, no, no, he can just load up this tray. And he has the tray of meat and cheese. And she's like, well, let's just dump the wings on there.

And Blake seems to be, he's just a nice guy. He's like, yes, I'll just dump the wings on there. And Blake seems to be, he's just a nice guy. He's like, yes, I'll just do whatever you want, because he doesn't want to cause a problem. And so we're kind of getting into it a little bit there in front of Blake, but we're holding back. Hated it. Did you notice? It was brewing.

Yeah. And I was just doing my damn best to just get out of there. Not be on any, I don't want to be on anyone's side. I know what's coming. I've seen this play before. You also are any, I don't want to be on anyone's side. I know what's coming, I've seen this play before. But, you also are like, if I'm gonna be on someone's side, it's not gonna be Dan's. Right? And I get it.

Yeah, we can make up later. If I'm at your house and you and your wife are getting into something, I'm probably gonna side with her. Yeah. You're not a bitch. Yeah. Yeah.

That is a natural thing, I do that too, I think. So. I'm like, ah, Hannah, I wouldn know, you got bitch. Yeah. That is a natural thing. I do that too, I think. So. I'm like, ah, Hannah, I wouldn't treat you like this. I know. Damn, I wish I was your. And so did you notice the move that I did just to get out of there?

No. So I really wanted to take some of the fruit. And so I didn't care that I put wings on my cantaloupe. Oh yeah, yeah, he took the cantaloupe. So now I got wingy cantaloupe that won't taste good. Yeah. But I just had to leave. Because I was like, and she's arguing,

and I'm like, yeah, but if you give him it in Tupperware, he can go home and throw it right into the fridge. And this is what they're doing, and I'm like, I just, I don't care that it's all touching, let's just fit as much as a cantaloupe. And then once you left. We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go. The argument didn't stop once you left,

because I'm like, she's like, well why are you doing that in front of Blake? And I'm like, I'm just trying to be logical. Now when he goes home, he's going to get home at 11, 1130 or whatever, he's now got to take it off of this tray, put it in separate containers. What if we gave him four separate containers, he could just throw it in the fridge and he'd be at home. Which is exactly what I had to do,

but I did not mind doing it because I had silence around me. At least I didn't have to do this in front of, da da da da da da da da da da. I got to just go home and be in peace. Well, and then she's now got her Tupperware, it's still under the counter downstairs. Yeah, she's holding.

It's not moved. Like it's crypto. Yeah. Yeah. Shut. The value might go up on it. Hold. Hold.

To the moon. I want to take a break. Yeah, I got to. Oh, T. All right, T. Badum-zum. I don't actually desire to have relations with her. She's just one of my favorite humans alive. Yeah. And for that reason, I think I'd marry her. I mean, based on all reports, marriage is a platonic thing in any ways.

You know, I think I'm about to expose myself as someone who... Might as well just punt entirely. Everyone's gonna say like, oh you just don't understand. And you just haven't done it yet. And you just don't get it. You're not gonna do this, are you? But I'm telling you, that's not how it's gonna be for me. Awwww.

There's no way. Here's the guy, we found him. Yeah, no, trust me. We found the guy who's gonna... And you know what, I know people that it's not like that for, so I know it's possible. Like, I mean... They're young still. Well, I'm the guy who's gonna and you know what I know people that it's not like that for so I know it's possible like I Mean they're young still Well, I'm just saying it's definitely possible And I don't care if I have to get some weird stuff involved to keep it going on

It's definitely still gonna be going on if I got to go like the second. I feel myself not being interested I'm calling the 1-800 number on the every stop set and getting some pills Like there's not gonna be a point in my life where that's not in the mix You're listening to You said it We did it. We found the guy. We didn't tell young Jake then. Maybe I didn't even know it. Is that just going to get the pills and stuff. A lot of work. A lot of. It's kind of good to lose tea. Yeah. Low tea is great.

Like Friday night, you're not, when she's at book club on Friday night, you're not looking to go out and bang something. You're like, great time to go grocery shopping. Great time to think about Schottenheimer's running scheme. Like me and Blake, man, we're right there. Maybe read a book. Maybe read a book. Maybe read a book. And even somebody got you that Cameron purple drink

and you're like, no, I don't think my heart can take it. It doesn't work. Oh. I mean, if somebody had tried it, they would be able to have that opinion. Yeah, man. Hey, let's give some love to koalas roofing koalas Well, it's been a Super Bowl party yesterday

It was a little bit cold little bit misty outside didn't affect us one bit cuz there's a roof on the den That's right from koalas. There is a koalas roof on the den Good people out there koalas. They will hook you up With a sit-in. We've had several of these. If you get a... If you get a roof. Yeah.

With them. I got some mail last week from, it says here, Other Jake. Heard you talk about what a great experience you had with Qualis. I thought I should get my roof fixed. However, Qualis is in the Metroplex. My house is in the Austin area. Boo. But on a lark, I went to their website and they have people in Austin.

Yay! So I am now the proud new owner of a dumb zone t-shirt, super good dude, Quinn came to my house, helped me work with my insurance things, are in the works. Tell the Austin DFs that their roofing dreams can really come true with Wallace. Wow. But yeah, generally people will be like, yeah, I checked them out because they're here in DFW. That's the G. QualisGC.com. QualisGC.com. All right. All right. So let's talk football. We had a Super Bowl. We did a stream.

It was good fun. Good people. Our last stream of the year, I guess. Or last football stream, for sure. Don't know what else. You guys are getting horny about the majors on Sunday yesterday. Oh, yeah. You're the one who brought it up, and then I got horny.

Well, I actually had. So we always talked about doing it, and I am into it. Yeah. Maybe the. Got to go to work, baby. Like you want to go to the Luka game, we could do a, we could do the first Luka game, is that tonight? It is tonight.

Okay, let's do it. I've already seen the uh... Clay's here already. Dude, seeing the t-shirts put on all the seats, that's tough. Do they have special Luka shirts? They have their Luka 77 golds on every seat of crypto. Mine's still in transit. Yeah, I haven't got one yet.

Go to our website, I think our merch site. Raymond's got some Luka stuff up there. They made a LFFL shirt. You're allowed to wear that one? At my request. I doubt it. And I think they have some other Luka you know new colored Luka shirts. I wonder should we still be a show that covers the Cowboys and Luka? Like I love him, love! There's something about having him here in town that made it extra love. We're just gonna have to sort this out as we go, David.

Alright, well let's look at football then. So before the game we didn't know who would win. Once we got to halftime it looked pretty set. But it's interesting, I wondered as you look at Saquon ended up with 25 yards, or excuse me 25 carries for 57 yards, 2.3 yard average. I think one of those carries was like 10 yards as well. So most of his carry was that, did Kansas City say, we're going to make Jalen Hurts

beat us? Without a doubt. And Jalen Hurts said, okay. Or Kellen Moore, Jalen Hurts, you know, I thought Kellen Moore was great Kellen Moore was was pretty good, but I don't think it was a bad game for Steve Spagnolo It's just the way the game played out. I don't think the Chiefs defense was bad They were just put in some really really really bad situations and Hertz was good enough. Well, and once you get down, you've seen the Cowboys have this, you get in a bit of a hole,

now your defense can play a little differently because that other team has to throw the ball a little bit more. And they were already just teeing off on you so much when it was a neutral game script. If you can do it without the necessity of blitzing, they would have four rushers against six blockers. And right away, Mahomes would be scrambling around. And that just changes everything. If that is the defensive line, you can put together. Bit by bit, they did it.

And whenever he did have a little time and is looking, because Mahomes was looking downfield, you could tell he was trying to get a big play. He'd have to pull it back in because the coverage was good. So just a full out great defensive effort. Good coverage downfield if indeed Mahomes did have a few extra seconds and then the pocket would collapse around him or he'd be under duress right away and really no time to let anything develop downfield.

Yeah and then just I think the overall flow of the game he just he was off also. I mean that's probably related right? The cumulative effect of pressure as David Newberry used to call it. Then you know then now all of a sudden you actually do have time and you're like whoa I'm the cat that got out and don't know what to do and then you just throw it at someone's feet Without a whole lot of of hurry or or harassment in the pocket. It was horrible It's so horrible. I Didn't hit retweet. I didn't Send it to anyone

But NBA sentel the ball sack for the NBA side had a tweet that said something like TMZ Sports Reports Patrick Mahomes still rattled by Luka trait before the game and I believed it I Honestly, he looked like just you know it was like a freaking Space Jam situation where they lost their powers but there was I don't think that the Chiefs defense didn't show up you know it was just there's just no way you were going to beat that team. You got a lot of weapons over there, man. Kansas City has Patrick Mahomes. And maybe they'll start to come under a little heat

for not ponying up money to try and put some big pieces around him, because they do kind of do it off the scrap heap. I think they'll probably keep trying. But yeah, I mean, the Tyree kill trade is kind of patient zero for that but I Mean they they're starting running back as a guy they signed midseason

You know Juju Smith Schuster same thing Tough to be too critical whenever they were able to do what they did in the regular season But the Eagles are you know you said it all year? Blake said it last night like what happened at the end of last year? Because if you look at the last two years of football, there's about a six week stretch where they were terrible. And other than that, straight up dominance. I mean, they were 10 and one last year, weren't they?

10 and 0? Yeah. And they start this year two and two. Remember watching them struggle with the Browns one Sunday when I was at the Hab? And then you turn around and it's, and at that point it's AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni. It's Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts.

It's all these reports and those reports. And they just steamrolled a dynasty. Let me do some Kellen Moore stuff here. I thought it started at the first drive, fourth and two at midfield. We're going deep for A.J. Brown. Great play. It was.

Great play, offensive pass interference called. Brady and Pereira both thought. Let them play. Bit of a touch foul there, shouldn't have called it. They did and they had to punt. Okay. Refs, bad refs, refs against us, okay. You still. Second drive. There were some good plays in that. 20- yard pass to Goddard. Then there was a terrible penalty called on the defensive back hitting Goddard in the

head on third in a very long incompletion. Pereira also thought that was not a call that should have been made. Was that a make-up call? I don't know. It happened early in the game and so close to the other call that I think perhaps there was something there. But that was a second, did I say it was second and, oh no, no, it wasn't second and 28. Third and five.

Yeah, that was third and long, yeah. Then that's where they had the 28-yard pass for an apparent touchdown to Dotson. With confident ref? With very confident ref, but he was down with the one, so the tush push gives him the touchdown. A lot of money probably was won and lost in that couple of seconds we were talking about yesterday. Oh yeah. Whoever had Dotson his first touchdown.

Man, that's tough. You know, Super Bowl props are huge, as we have one that we were focusing on for you throughout the game But That beating the Blitz great play Just a good play call good play, you know nice on all ends I have a Kellen Moore photo to show you. Do you have that photo from the game? Because there's a 153 left in the first.

And Philadelphia has a really cool, weird formation that I don't know if I've seen before. But there are three in the, there's a center and two guards right next to them and then split way left there's three players and then way right there's three players Hertz and Barclay are in the backfield. Now I would have loved a replay on that but Fox was like real horny about getting they had like a story on oh here it is I can play it for you you know Tom interesting with the Eagles offensive line they were so

banged up in the NFC Championship game Landon Dickerson started at center hurt his knee Kim Juergens was active but we didn't want to play because his back was killing of it you see they're both back in there right now in their normal spots Juergens at center and Dickerson at left guard. Yeah, and that's a very good feeling for the offense. And to know there has, look at this formation. Wow. Interesting. They're just going to run it right out of the gut.

Good game all that time. And it runs into Bolton. Yeah, I figured I'd talk about the offensive line and then they line them up all over the sideline. So you look at this offensive line for Philly. See, we had a graphic. Massive. Average 338 and 6'6". It's like, that's where you got to play the game is playing out

here. Yeah. That's a failure on the producer's part. Because you know who's going to be playing probably the rest of the game? That offensive line. The offensive line. There will be more.

This is not. But we were ready. You got Horny to, hey, I started leading into it. Yeah. And now I got to play the package. That's a fail. But this really weird play happened. Now, it didn't really come out to mean anything later.

Would have loved to have run it back and hear Brady talk about it, though. That's the point. And I wanted to see, had this been a close game, is that pulled out again because they have a wrinkle on it? The first one was, I'm just going to hand off at the middle. I just thought it was really interesting, and I would like to know I enjoy Kellen Moore doing something that I haven't seen before.

So can you put the picture back up, Clayton? I told you guys about this. This was my high school offense. Yeah, this is what Blake meant. The three-man line. Like every play? Every single play. However, where they have AJ Brown

and Devontae Smith kind of off the line, that's where our tackles would be. And so on every play, the quarterback would take the snap and then the tackles would run behind him. And so if he ever had to check down or there were a numbers advantage, he could swing it out to the tackle. That was the difference.

This looks way better, because then you could just throw a screen to a receiver rather than a tackle. But this is what we did every single play and our quarterback got demolished every single play. I could see that. But you do it once a game, then it's like, oh, what is this?

But yeah, it's cool. Most of the good coaches in the NFL, offensively especially, they'll just do this every so often. It doesn't have to be a big deal, but it also doesn't have to be the last play of your season, which is basically the only time Mike McCarthy and company have considered.

What if we just give them something else to look at a little bit? Because you do this in a game in week six, then in week 12, a team has to spend 10 minutes in practice and in meetings, if they do this, this is what we do. So it's just kind of a smoke screen. The prop you had that we were all real fascinated with was Cooper DeGene MVP plus 14,000?

Plus 14,000, yeah. I had him on touchdown and interception. As I figured if I was gonna make the MVP vote, I'd do everything that that would take along with it. So you got that. I pushed for the day, and I bet all like $200 I had in my account. Then I'm back at 200,

because everything else obviously. So the woke media told you all week that it was Saquon's birthday yesterday. But they didn't tell you that it was Cooper DeGene's birthday. No of course not. They're trying to hide him. No, DEI birthday. That's right, it was 22nd birthday. It's crazy though because if you look at how that game was won, I mean the numbers turned

out such that it would have been tough to deny Jalen Hurts, but I would argue that that Dijon Interception was by far the biggest play of the game and probably the biggest, hey we're headed one direction that he's turning around. Right, had he thrown up some garbage time stats like Jalen Hurts did? If he had had a big punt return or a big interception, or any interception, in garbage time, I think he might have won it. Because it was a defensive performance.

That's what it was. They shut down Mahomes and the Kansas City offense. Now, Hurts was solid. He was great. He was very good. And when you added everything up, you'd have to say yes. The most complete game was Jill and Hertz. Yeah, but that was...

Just look at that drive though. So they kicked to go up 48 after stalling out at the 25. Then they go sack, sack, third and 16, which is where you get the Dijon pick six, and now it's 17 nothing and the game is over. I mean really, that was it. Well it was really over after the next touchdown, which was before the half. Which was after the next interception. Yeah.

Because you know, they had the ball with two minutes left down, 17 nothing, but they're getting the ball after half. And in my mind, at that point it is still possible but you're just watching what the Eagles defense is doing and it's like Jesus dude I've never seen my homes look this this ruffled in fact that was so the next touchdown they scored was after there was a punt. So let me see if I have this right. Yeah, they punted back to Kansas City. And then on the first play, here comes Zach Bond.

That was a horrible pick. Well, OK, so they had to punt back to Kansas City after that's the time when we saw AJ Brown join with Sirianni. Yeah. In fact I might have something on that here in a second. Yeah, I don't know if that was a bad pass, miscommunication, something.

Because yes, he looked to be streaking open enough to get him a touchdown, but the ball was thrown behind him. So I thought he was going to stop. Anyway, yeah, then there was an interception on the very next play. But that's where AJ Brown then quite predictably got did get the next touchdown before the half and TB and KB were doing comedy. Oh good. After that because they saw him on the sideline with his book. Remember the book?

Well AJ Brown scoring from 12 yards out you know they bring over because they saw him on the sideline with his book. Remember the book? Well, A.J. Brown scoring from 12 yards out. You know, they bring over inter-excellence, which he reads from time to time. And Gavestey and Nick Sirianni said, keep on reading. That's such a cool moment that we showed him a few weeks ago on the wild card reading that in game. You know, Sirianni did, like, comes over, hugs him. Like, I don't know. He does seem to have somewhat of a relationship. I might be sometimes adversarial, but, you know,

they do seem to, obviously, they all like each other right now. Sorry. There's the book holder. You got to keep it safe. Sorry, that author's got a second book coming out. It ain't bad being rich either. Amazon's best seller. Hey, everything helps

They might be writing books about this Vic Fangio defense because they have been dominant here. Okay, so this is just he is such a freaking dork Brady no KB. They're both dorks. Yeah, but Brady's wasn't that bad, but then KB's like haha How can I give it this back to football? Big Vagio should write a book. Oh he'll write it the author is gonna write another book called Being Rich is Good? Yeah because the author was a nobody until AJ Brown had his book on the sideline. You got to keep it safe. That author's got a second book coming out. It ain't bad being rich either. It's not bad. Amazon's best seller. No, it is bad.

It's not a good joke. It's not funny at all. It's very bad. He's a dork. He's there for football. But he's with- Okay, so you'd rather have Mark Sanchez in there or something? Absolutely not.

Just sticking Xs and Os. But he's there with Bro Hard and they're trying to create this illusion that they're friends and that they hang out and that they say funny things to each other, but they don't. Here's some KB comedy to prove it. Air quotes comedy. Slow starts here early for the Chiefs.

That's been a thing here and we know that. Here's Barkley and he's off to a slow start because the Chiefs are playing him well. Tom you know about some slow starts as well huh? Oh man we got to bring that up. I didn't score a touchdown in the first quarter of a game for the first nine Super Bowls only in my last Super Bowl was I able to

get the team in the end zone. So sometimes it just finds a little bit of and takes a little time to find a little bit of rhythm. And again all these games are so long there's not a ton of momentum to neutral crowd. It's a 4-hour and 15-minute game, so everyone right now is just trying to feel things out.

You know what they say, tenth time's the charm. It's very slippery to throw. There's a lot of setup for that little joke, but the point is that it wasn't funny. And then here is my final piece of TB and KB trying to do comedy. I got all the audio from the first half so maybe Jake has more. Oh I've got a little comedy. They did a late show. A moment of unity inspired by Rocket. This is a weird bit where they got the rocket commercial and then when you come back they're

actually doing this song in the stadium. So that has to cost a lot of money to make them do that. Fans get to test out their singing voices here in New Orleans. Second quarter of the Super Bowl 59 ten nothing Eagles and I guess Tom maybe Kansas City has an exactly where they want because they've trailed by ten points every Super Bowl They've won the Patrick ball. First of all, why don't you test your singing voice a little bit? I'm interested to hear that. I haven't heard it much all year. This is a perfect time. There's

70,000 people going with you. You know that that may require a couple of beverages later Beverages Look karaoke. You know what I mean? What I hope is happening is Brady is getting sick of this guy And he's trying to make him uncomfortable No, Brady's a team guy. No, I think Brady knows this guy sucks. Yeah, I got a little one for you here where this is interesting considering

Tom Brady's making what is it, 25 or 30 million a year, but they're gonna put up a graphic showing you a few stats about how the Super Bowl's changed over the years. Country's it's broadcast broadcast and television, whatever. And then also the cost of commercials. You're gonna have to buy me up, I think. Unless I already am and it's my fault,

but I feel like I did it right. Here's how it's changed, right? You're talking about the AFL-NFL Championship, 67. There was one country, that was the audience. Now it's 195 countries. And the ad time's a little bit more to 40,000 8 million so a couple bucks. That's it 8 million for an ad gotta save a lot of pennies for that So the Eagles defense gets that early stop see what he laughing at wife

Why even the courtesy chuckle from K from KB? I don't understand that at all because they get along so well and they're just hanging out guys. Ted Emmerich, I mean they do this whether there's a headset or not. Ted Emmerich mentioned this to us on our stream last night. You'll recall that Kevin Hart was pretty vicious at the Tom Brady roast. And actually kind of funny. So they showed a number of celebrities in the crowd. and they didn't show Kevin Hart at this part. So I don't know why Brady, Brady really wanted to get this in, but they showed like Anne Hathaway,

Paul Rudd. Hart was the first one. Did they? Yeah. Okay. Cause I know they showed them at some point. I just didn't see it on this part, but the point is they go back to a play. So they've not been looking at the crowd for about 20 seconds at the end of the quarter.

Kevin Hart's here? Yeah. How do the cameras find Kevin Hart? Depends on the day, I guess. All right, what does that mean? Because I know that he means that's a little fella. Right, so that's KB, like Blake said earlier, just trying to... Like, you can't have the funny line.

I also, very witty, I'm going to have a funny line, but it's not hitting the... The funny line is, depends on the day? Kevin Hart's here? Yeah. How do the cameras find Kevin Hart? Depends on the day, I guess. Kevin, I love you. Dude, how, what's the countdown for is that? Depends on the day I guess. Kevin I love you. You took so many shots at me in May. I'm coming right back at you. It's the Roast Revenge Tour for Tom Brady. What did he say? It's a Roast Revenge Tour for Tom Brady. Hey, thank you. What did he say? Got you. It's the Roast Revenge Tour for Tom Brady.

Hey, thank you to Lady Gaga for being such an emotional part of a pregame show. Here's her latest song, Abracadabra for you. Galen Hertz, one quarter away from the Lombardi Trophy. In a tongue, she said. Brady's out for comedy revenge, folks. Yeah, that's right. He never got that opportunity, except at the roast

when he had the podium and got to go ahead and roast the. That's all I have for comedy. I got, well, I don't know if you call this comedy, but we were watching this and we just, while watching, you were like, we got gotta get that audio for tomorrow. The Snoop and Brady anti-hate commercial. So. I hate you cause we look different. I hate you cause you pray different.

Cause you talk different. Cause you act different. Cause you're just different. And then there's like a message up on the board, like stop hate and do things that aren't bad. Yeah, they weren't done with that one. I hate you because I don't understand you because I'm not I'm not done hold on this isn't done oh yeah I have another one man I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it it's like I think that's at the end of

this one I like you don't work I hate you because I don't understand you because I need someone to blame because I I'm just following others. Because I'm just angry. I hate you because I think you hate me. Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it. Yeah, yeah. I went and did a hate crime after that. This is a fun moment for America. Coming back from break here. All Eagles, 27-0, a Skycam coverage provided by Bud Light here tonight. And taking valuable time off the clock. Here's the story of the game. Patrick Mahomes has been pressured on 52% of his dropbacks. He's been sacked a career high five times, the Eagles having bliss once in the game. That's basically unheard of KB to have that type of

pressure on Patrick Mahomes without having to send an extra rusher which has allowed him to play very well. So my question is this, is Lee Greenwood at every Super Bowl or just the one that Trump is now very associated with that song? Right. Not only because he plays it at a lot of rallies, but you may recall that Lee Greenwood helped him write the Bible colon Trump edition. So I don't know, was that a Trump thing? I know that song is popular, but we have a lot of American,

like I would argue bootin' your ass is a much more popular song. So I heard that they play that song of a marriage, I would argue bootin' your ass is a much more popular song. So I heard that they play that song if you get your citizenship. That's awesome. Like you go to get your citizenship. That's like ringin' the cancer bell. And then afterwards you're in there watching like, you watch the Lee Greenwood video or

something. I feel like if you were being serious I wouldn't even. I am. That's what I'm saying, I can't. Yeah. No, I am I am I so I'm saying I can't yeah No, I I'm not saying that I'm not saying that as a joke. Yes. That's a real thing that if you get your citizenship Afterwards, they're like they tell you a bunch of stuff and you got to watch this video and it's a Lee Greenwood That's awesome video. That is fantastic. I thought you were gonna play I just I know everybody hates the Eagles, but.

I got to love the Eagles organization like. They care about football, they go out and they do stuff trying to win. They don't always hit the mark, but they did here for sure. And they have a. They somehow are a big market, yet have a small market fan base. Yeah. And by that I mean like they're really, you know,

the Cowboys are a big market and a big market fan base where it seems corporate, where, you know, you always compare it to like the, the old diehard Browns fans or the Packers fans or just the one horse town type fans. It feels like Philly has that passion. And I didn't know if they're playing this song on the, well anyway. Jalen Hurts had three rushing touchdowns.

This is after the first touchdown I think. In this game two years ago against the Chiefs. He had three in the championship game. They're playing the song in this stadium, right? You can't practice against that. Yeah, it's a very difficult play to stop because if you're the Chiefs defense, there's no way to really simulate that in practice. And that's ultimately the real challenge.

Not are you dealing with it's just so cool to hear it. Game the biggest offensive line in Super Bowl history with Juergens Dickerson, Mylotta McPiper. Yeah, I think they probably were because it sounded different when they started doing the... You have a little tuneage behind it, you can hear it, but still the screaming, to have a signature song like that. It's very cool. Like what do the Cowboys do if they scored and they were playing the Super Bowl? Hold up, hold up! Weedin' boys. Remember we did that for a year?

Right. And then also every team did it. That seems old school yet. I love it. They're still modern. Dude, all you're doing is just saying what you guys have come at me for over the last year. You just don't want to say it.

They're better? It's a better. It's a sports town that if you could pick, you would pick that one. I wish that I rooted for their teams. Don't make me. It's a better town. They're cooler. They're.

Yeah. There's they're they're more dedicated to football. They they have a cool TV show where they're fans of them. They always sunny guys. The Always Sunny guys. The Always Sunny guys, the league, not the league. What was the one that they got a hot fan Bradley? They if they could get rid of Kevin Hart. For a that's how that's how much I appreciate

Philadelphia's I forget that Kevin Hart is from there. But this game was not in Philadelphia, it was in Louisiana. And we wanted to take this moment as part of an NFL PSA to tell you a little something about Louisiana. I want to take a moment and recognize NFL Play 60 and Special Olympics athletes who play United Fly football here in Louisiana, which by the way became the 15th state to sanction girls high school football. Alright, he's going to say some more stuff, but I thought it was really funny that he said

that like it was ratifying the constitution. So wait. They became the 15th state to recognize girls high school or girls football? Play it again. Wanna take a moment and recognize NFL Play 60 and Special Olympics athletes who play United Fly football here in Louisiana, which, by the way, became the 15th state to sanction girls high school football. So he had a sanction.

He also made the analogy of Special Olympic flag football along with women playing football. Sometimes you can't tell them apart, folks. Would it be like whenever you sign up for intramurals, like in your 20s or something, and it's like a social league, you have to have like three mentally disabled and four females on the field at all times. There's a ratio.

You're like, hey, you got too many strong ones out there. I don't know. NFL's been working all week to bring awareness about the importance of staying active. Visit nfl.com slash play 60. You know the deal on that. Here's some top flight analysis from Tom Brady. Now Brady is not getting great reviews.

He's not getting bad reviews, but I think a lot of people, Dyche described him as a game manager last night, and I would agree. Well, I think he's very good on a good game. Yeah. And he probably doesn't have a lot of reps for bad games. That's true. This was a bad game.

That's true. And I know he gets criticized for doing too much of the I did this and I would do this and but I think that's why he's there to me. I totally agree and that's why when he when he brought this I was like damn that's why he's there. You're working against the clock if you're KC so if you're Philly you do want to put as much pressure as you can when you have the ball to you call that milk the clock milk the clock and then so I didn't know that that they call it that I thought and then they like the way that he said it a second time that means that must be yeah you're working

against the clock if you're KC so if you're Philly you do want to put as much pressure as you can when you have the ball to you call that milk the clock if you're KC so if you're Philly you do want to put as much pressure as you can when you have the ball to you call that milk the clock and then... Did y'all heard that? No. You want him to milk the clock? I don't even know what he's talking about. That's a consultant telling him to do that.

So is that something they say, milk the clock? Do you know how this goes? There's someone that comes in and says hey look you had a lot of non-football people watching this game. It's milk the clock? Because I just feel like Tom Brady just came up with that. Do you know how this goes? There's someone that comes in and says, hey, look, you got a lot of non-football people watching this game. It's milk the clock. And I know, but somebody told him to do that. OK, but then he's like, milk the clock? And they probably said, when you bring up football terms,

repeat it and slow it down for the audience. I don't know what you're talking about. We have to do it. Why don't you explain what a clock is? Is that just the Super Bowl? Or do you think in general, he's been told throughout the year, like, hey, explain things a little bit because you're Tom Brady and to you, the X out or whatever

is real obvious because he does this with some other terms that I wasn't familiar with. True. And he will go, we call that an Aussie for Aussie Newsome. The tight end out. And I think, yeah, that is interesting. But maybe he's thinking he doesn't know what common things are. And so even if it's that, or maybe they've upped the ante and said now you're doing the Super Bowl and

You're really talking to I Can see that Dan's wife now and now that I've heard it a couple times I think it's all of this and him being a bit of a smartass Like his producer has said hey you have to explain stuff because when he says it a second time you get a little Dan McDowell in there the ball ball to reset. We call that milk the clock. Milk the clock. Yeah. Let's reset every question. Yeah that's exactly what that is. We've been told we're not resetting enough. I guess you just have to respect this. You're listening to the dumb zone breaking down Super Bowl 59 audio. It was the cheeps. I'm Blake Jones, it was the Eagles, it's Clayton. I guess you just have to do this because the guy like owns all of the media in the world but I was able to actually put my daughter and my son to sleep last night.

They were with me watching the Super Bowl and they were like Taylor Swift whatever this is what they were staying up for. Rupert Murdoch is here at the game. And good to see him. We're all here because of him. So Rupert, we appreciate it. That's our boss enjoying. It's been a dominating performance by the Eagles.

Now Elliot, look at Rupert Murdoch, that everybody's just clamoring to. Yeah, so we're we're tempering our enthusiasm for Taylor Swift Again, we were saying this on the stream yesterday that two most famous people in the world right now We're at this game. Yeah, and barely showed either one of them. However, when they did show when they did show Taylor Swift in the stadium She did get some booze

You guys aware of that mm-hmm she was very confused that's what they say well what they also say is what Trump said which is that MAGA never forgets did he yeah well I think it's I think it's just the like my wife, after everybody left and we were done arguing about Blake's food containers... Post-makeup coitus. Oh, we had makeup sex right there on the wings. She said she was secretly rooting for Philadelphia, even though her friends had Kansas City jerseys, apparently one of the ladies she was with was from Kansas City,

because she's just tired of it. I go, what? That's what everybody's doing. She's like, I don't know, just Taylor Swift, the Kelseys, the Kelseys mom. She's like, I'm just tired of it. I was happy that Philadelphia won. She goes, they might be horrible people,

the Philadelphia team. I don't know, they might be, but I just was rooting against them. I'm like, oh, okay. That was a lot of people. My wife said something similar, and she's even got a couple of Mahomes jerseys from Tech. But I don't know, I don't get that.

That's not how I feel, unless there's a reason to hate him You know like Kelsey's a Bit of an attention whore, but he entertains me There's nothing about them that I look at I'm like boy. I find that like really objectionable, but it was a boring game And I bring to you What I would say is the least interested broadcaster I think I've ever heard in my life. This was on the deep shot that Dan pointed out last night that Mahomes was trying to

take down a zillion and a third or fourth and he gets clocked. And he gets fumbled, his arm gets rigged, he fumbles and then once the ball is out he gets a hands to the face. They throw a flag, but the flag is actually not on the hands to the face, so they're sorting that out. He got hit in the face. They missed it. I think they called it.

I think the ball may have been out of possession. Is that what you see, Mike? So Pereira's got a second to either think about it or wake up, whichever one just happened. I think they called it. I think the ball may have been out of possession. Is that what you see, Mike?

No, he hit the crossbar. Trying to dunk it over the crossbar. So, they get Williams on the crossbar. They missed that. The six-set. Okay, we're not coming back to Mike. That's all he had. Wow.

Because the defensive lineman had crossbar dunked. And so after a five second layout, Pereira's like, fuck, he has the crossbar. He was not paying attention. Gummy thoughts? What is he doing here? I think he's just like, this game is so over, why do they need to come to me?

None of these are critical calls, I'm done. You're in the booth. We're paying you. No, he hit the crossbar. He's trying to dunk it over the crossbar. So will they get... Okay, got it, got it. That did not answer why there's a flag at all. No, because they didn't show the full dunk. The way he said, hey, hit the crossbar. What does that mean? That's like your wife asked you something you hadn't been paying attention and you try to answer. He was trying to pretend like he had been listening. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's all I got. I just enjoyed that Mike Pereira was as over this as the rest of America was.

He also had tweeted deep fake images of her. That seems dangerous. Naked?

No. What's the point? I think it was deep fake images showing her and her fans being like closet Trump supporters and fans. Oh, that's funny. The other thing, see, the other thing other thing we haven't touched on is the halftime show happened. That was the first thing I did when I got home last night. I mean for me I loved it. It's an odd pick. He's huge but he's not really the type of he's dense you know what I mean

it's I'm not saying he doesn't have some party songs and some silly songs, but Kendrick Lamar is dense material. Like, my wife doesn't really dig it. She knows I love it, she appreciates it, but she don't want to go with me to that show. It's not a party. It's a philosophical journey. So dense means deep?

Yeah, it's just hard. You kind of got to like dissect on Kendrick Lamar. Exquisite. But if you want to, for me. So it's very layered, very. Oh, everything is. And everything was last night, from having Samuel L. Jackson out there to play Uncle Sam, which is also

kind of an Uncle Tom thing. And he's making fun of Drake, who he kind of uses as Uncle Tom. And Samuel L. Jackson had played an Uncle Tom thing, and he's making fun of Drake, who he kind of uses in Uncle Tom, and Samuel L. Jackson had played in Uncle Tom in Django, to the images he was using, all of it was, but while I think that stuff is really cool, I also could see how the average music fan, it's not even a race or a hip hop thing,

they're just like, I don't understand this. Or it's like Aerosmith's not giving you a lot to think about wow they're just doing that a lot It's just the tune the sound yeah and that's not it's the McCartney versus Lennon argument there you go would be he's like John Lennon is Lennon John Lennon is about lyrics McCartney is about the the sound The melody. Yeah. Yeah, I was super into Kendrick 15 years ago. C4 and then Good Kid, Mad City. But then it hit a point where it took more effort

to understand what he's saying. And it's not just the pop. Run the ball guy don't like that. Well, sure. Yeah, it kind of plays into that. But you know. You got to read a book over. You got to read chapter again. I don't read a book over you got to read after again

I don't want to have to look at all the lyrics and understand what he's meaning by that I just want to listen to a three-minute song. Yeah, sometimes I mean some you can be in the mood for kinderick But that's a run-the-ball guy also doesn't like Subtitles on a TV show like I know talk English just I don't have to read talk English Yeah, he does have some, especially on this last album, while it is very layered, it's also a very aggressive album. So there's some bangers on it that I

think worked well last night. Like Squabble Up, TV Off, and Not Like Us, those are arena songs. Those work. But even his arena songs, like, Chrison will say, I just feel like he's really mad and he is that's the thing I saw some stuff on Twitter like man I can't believe he did that while Trump was there yeah I mean I just there was just some some subtle

like race related lines and comments but 40 acres and a mule was in there. 40 acres and a mule, yeah, but the whole thing was really about Drake. Okay. I completely forgot this until I was thinking about this this morning. The first time I saw him, I didn't even know who he was.

It was just at some place in South by Southwest at a day party and you just roll up and there's people there and whatever, it's free. But the second time I saw him was after section 80 came out which is before Good Kid and it was at UTA where I believe their basketball team had just opened a new arena maybe and he was opening for Drake. Now I know they've toured and done songs together and stuff

but that is weird in my memory because I don't remember there being any other artists. It was just Kendrick Lamar opens for Drake. And now at the Super Bowl, however many million people are cheering about how you like them young. And that's really really an odd journey. So the beef that was going on last year we now have a clear winner? Yeah I mean most people will objective people and it's hard for

me because I'm not objective but it seems the objective conclusion has been that Drake Drake lost that one but it music, it's up to you. But I also mean though, if you get to play your last hand at the Super Bowl, you probably won. And then he put up like game over. Like it was a video game type thing and then when the set ended the whole thing, the whole crowd just said game over real big and glowing lights.

You can do whatever, but this is done for me. Are you surprised they booked him? Yeah, I am. I really am because you know, you think about it, he did it before as part of the Aftermath, Dr. Dre thing, but Dr. Dre and Snoop, man, that's three decades of party hits, hits. And then he had 50 Cent out there.

Eminem was there for that too, right? Yeah. Yeah, so you had that, you had, there were hits, hits, hits at the Dr. Dre one. Kendrick's does not, yeah, I'm surprised they booked him. I am. Lyft is bringing automated Robo taxis here to Dallas as soon as next year

So like that thing yeah, yeah, what was it called you guys did Quibbing no Q-cat no, where did y'all do that? LA oh LA, yeah. Yeah. They have it in Phoenix too. It's just driverless cab basically. Why can't I think of it? It is called Waymo. Waymo's the one you guys used. Yeah. So for Lyft's portion, they're partnering with a Japanese company and they have a fleet, it's called Mobileye Drive Technology, that'll be available on the Lyft app.

And I gotta say, I have no, I didn't do it with you guys, but I have no problems with this. it with you guys, but I have no I have no problems with this Like I would do this for sure I Don't see any issue in fact, I think I might prefer it a lot of the time I Think that was my review and we did it. It was just nice not having a big smelly guy up there Someone that doesn't speak your language.

Now when I'm hammered, do I have to also ask the imaginary driver or the robot, how long have you been doing this man? No, you don't. How long have you been driving? Does run the ball guy like having a driver that doesn't speak the language? No, of course not No, no he does not Man I've gotten into some horse that he smells. Yeah, are they staying or they're on their phone on speaker?

Dude at the gas station this weekend getting some sleeves of tube and so the Indian lady or whatever right course on the phone when I walked in with who decided to throw it on speaker because apparently she was kind of maybe she was on a three or four-way call of course she was because now the speaker is next to her and it's just like like it was just there's this like her whole family was on yeah and she's just in on the whole thing and she'd occasionally chime in but like I got to see her put the phone down and like usually they got the bluetooth or something in. Yeah, yeah usually. But yeah, she's just listening to nonstop chatter

and why do they talk all day? To who? And all day, but yeah. They're talking all day together. There was a comedian, I can't remember if it was the opener who was a white guy or the second guy who was a black guy who made a joke about this. And I'd never noticed it also until I lived,

until I rented the house down by you, and there was an Indian family a few houses down. The dad would go outside and just walk around and talk on the phone in the front yard every night. And I thought it was like, oh, it seems weird. But then the comedian brought it up. He's like, you ever see the dad, the dad, or the grandpa? He's out there every night on the phone, just walking around in the yard.

I'm like, oh, shit, okay. And then he brought up the convenience store thing. And like, oh, gotta throw it on speakerphone here. And he started doing the accent. And these two, the two black ladies I was with were laughing super hard. I was laughing, we were all like, oh, they do do that. And with were laughing super hard. I was laughing, we were all like, oh they do do that. And we were laughing really hard,

and then one of the black ladies, I swear to God, she was like, I can't laugh though, we be doing that too. I'm like, all right, we're definitely all on the same team here. This is a good comedy vibe. So, another thing, like I haven't been averse to technology as far as throwing rocks at drones like Jake or wanting to beat up the kindness robot

Another great Philly bullet point. Yeah but I take the dart train down to our Fox Studios and Sometimes I'll just walk a few blocks or something instead of waiting on a train and I've noticed that Door dash or uber eats or whatever robot. Yeah, I told you guys about this when I was at SMU They've got the rope the robot cooler like driving the street, well not on the streets but on the sidewalk. And again, I've never cared about it until it drove past me one day

and I just really wanted to kick it over. I know. Oh, I'm gonna say, exact same. And people will stop and stare at it. Like, what are you being homeless for if you're not gonna do us all a favor and kill that thing? You're out there. It is funny watching them watch it. I know it's just like everything about society Help yourself to a free meal dude get it. I'm not gonna tell anybody

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I mean I'm sure it's locked. Yeah Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's a soft thing. I'm sure it's locked, yeah. Definitely when keeping it real goes wrong moment happened Saturday night in Fort Worth. There was a man, was, who broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment over in Fort Worth. He's like, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

I'm gonna get her back. What, is she with some other guy? I'll show him and her. So he was there when she got home, I'm gonna get her back. What is she with some other guy? I'll show him and her. So he was there when she got home and she got home with her new man. And her new man blew him away with bullets. Police say confronted the ex and the suspect

as they attempted to enter the apartment. That's when the suspect pulled out a handgun, fired multiple shots. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No names, no information, and no arrests. They didn't arrest the guy. They said he's acting, he's cooperating. It's like, what'd you think you were gonna do? Hop out and yell surprise?

Like what was your plan? Yeah, unless he just didn't know she had another dude that's probably the case right Yeah, but let's just say he thought it was just her Is that how you're gonna get her back? I? Mean it does happen hiding in the house Yeah, the hiding in the house part If you want to show up and stand outside with your boombox and yell, please.

I don't know how it happened, but my brother impregnated his wife before they were married and there was a restraining order against him. At the time? I don't know if it was like he, it was a restraining order, but had something to do with they they couldn't be within a hundred yards of each other Now she might have initiated it too like it. You know how that goes. Oh, of course Yeah, she might have that might have helped but she's the one who yes initially put the was he like cuz she had called the cops On him saying that he has drugs in the house like he had pot When they were arguing.

I want restraining order sex. You gotta imagine that it's just. It's just dynamite. Yeah. Restraining order slaps on, and I'm one pump and done. Because you're just thinking about the heat that's all over you, you know? I feel like you're being watched.

Looking out the window a little bit, kind of trying to be quiet, but. She's breaking the you, you know? Feel like you're being watched. Looking out the window a little bit. Kind of trying to be quiet, but. She's breaking the law with you. Damn. Come on, dude. Yeah. Now was he able to be there at the birth? Yeah, no.

I don't know. OK. I think then they got it rescinded or something. I don't know. But I remember there was some kind of a legal barrier to them even being in the same room together. Well, we had that story about those prisoners, where they were just past the jism through the wall.

Maybe that's how they did it. Bit of a movement on this issue. Greg Abbott has signaled that he is open to authorizing online sports betting. Right after they moved Luca, huh? But the political analysts say that, at least here in the state, this is not going to sway senators from blocking its legalization.

But it's like any of these things. It's just a drop by drop, bit by bit thing, right? So 10 years ago the governor's writing that he quote, wholeheartedly supported state laws that prevent any expansion of gaming. And now he says, I don't have a problem with online sports betting. I would be shocked if there's not some Texans who do it already. Ha ha ha. It's a very common practice. Can't they geofence you out? Didn't look into it.

It seems to be part of the entertainment. Tell me if you think this guy understands sports fandom and like the regular man. It is a very common practice and it seems to be part of the entertainment that goes along when you're watching a football game, especially pro football or other types of sports. I think he's.

Sounds like a fucking cone head. He just showed up here. I think he has his finger on the pulse of what's going on around here. Oh, that was another thing from Piven Night. Again, don't remember which non-Piven comic it was, but they called the governor Hot Wheels and had some COVID jokes and did like pretend

wheel wheelchair motions and the two ladies, Stella and Estella, I don't know, did not think it was funny. Did not like it? No. Okay, interesting. Not like from a they're supporting Greg Abbott five but more for me I can't believe this guy's doing wheelchair humor. Okay. Yeah, I'm with them

So again, yeah It's any gambling legislation is dead if once it gets its DOA Once it gets to the Senate Maybe that's a way though. You can still get money from the gambling people. Like, look, I said publicly I'm into it. Oh, I'm sure that's what they do. It's not me, it's these guys. Give me more money and I'll say more stuff.

Um, this is from, so this political scientist they interviewed at the morning news said that Abbott's openness to sports betting is not likely to satisfy those like Miriam Adelson and other magnates who are pushing primarily for authorization to open casino resorts in Texas. That's very different. Very different. So it seems like we're still pretty far away on that one. Who were we talking to recently about casinos? Was it Ethan? Probably. Just, cause I do agree. I don't need a casino downtown. Like there's a casino downtown Cleveland. It's like, eh.

Yeah, he was saying that even if Dallas did open up resort gambling people aren't gonna want to flock here This is no destination keeps people from doing it elsewhere though. Yes That's the whole point yeah a lot of people from Dallas drive up to Oklahoma and or do you have Vegas enough? events at AT&T college football playoff March Madness Final for you it would be I'm you, whether we think of this, I didn't say this to Ethan because I mean he's right, this place is not a destination,

but it's a place people travel to all the time for work. And so if you had a casino within 15 minutes of either of those airports, it would be packed all the time. That's a good point. Thanks, Flake. Hell yeah, dude Props appreciate that Let's see here

You know what that's really the last one I that I wanted to do how about that how about that I'm not gonna do another one How about that? I'm not gonna do another one Yeah, it's been tough today's program Has been brought to you by Lone Star beer and Lone Star light just because so what I've done in honor of that is Where some of the merch that they sent us Which camera can I look at this is the new sweatshirt I got that is a phenomenal hoodie.

So we have Uncle Hottie, I wish my father-in-law Tommy Johnson happy 70th birthday on Saturday. He said he used to run into you at Yates. You know Yates at the corner of Dove and Kimball? Yeah. I miss that place. Back when you were famous and still on the radio. Also would like to wish my DF friend Skyler happy birthday Tuesday, February 11th. So that's tomorrow. My Christmas present from him this year was a Qalys roofing sit-in just before the holidays. We

brought you guys, it says here, milf and cookies. He brought milk, though. If somebody brought me a milf, I would remember that. Yeah. That's from Tyler G. P.S. Not the deeply causited Aggie that wrote in last week and called all other Tylers a bitch. Hmm.

I love the little wars we have. Discourse. Yeah. And I have the little wars we have. Discourse. Yeah. And I have Dear Twat Taster, it is my buddy Tyler Fleet's birthday, Sunday. Do you want to just taste it? No, don't, no. He isn't listening yet, but if you mention this I'll pay for his sub.

Whoa! What was your name? Tyler Fleet. I'll send him the audio so hype him up. He's a former Allstate tight end from Tyler Lee. High school football Jake probably knows that school. So I did a little research on Tyler Fleet over the weekend and found out that as a... I'm trying to hype him up. As a football player Fleet was a three-year letter winner at Tyler High School where he's part of the Raiders class 5A Division 1 state championship team in 2004. Had a pretty good career, 43 catches, 625 yards, 5

touchdowns, all district 12 5A. Is that good? They don't just hand those out. And first team all East Texas selection at tight end. Beast Texas. That was an 0-4 he probably 6-A now. First team academic all-state selection. This guy just gets it all done, you know? Nerd. Marry your daughter. Discus thrower on the track team. In his free time. Yeah, this guy looks great. Dude, that's crazy that it says, uh, it says that this one... Class 5A state biggest dick. For Tyler Fleet.

He's not a dick. No. You're saying he possesses. His wiener is very large. I'm led to believe, yeah. Then Tyler Howell, who's writing in for Tyler Fleet, says, MorBlake, PS, yes, we are both named Tyler and we live in Tyler. Okay. Good for you guys. That is good for him. And them. And us.

On this day in 1992 boxer Mike Tyson convicted of raping Desiree Washington a Miss Black America contestant. Got me in trouble at school. Why? Because I heard it on the radio in the car on the way to school with my dad. It was telling kids at school that morning that Michael Jackson had raped somebody. Michael Tyson? Mike Tyson? Excuse me, Mike Tyson had raped someone and they got a phone call home. Well, if I could go back and talk to your mom and dad at that point, say, take

it easy. There's going to be a lot bigger fish to fry. Don't be worrying about little Jake saying raked. Why don't you guys just try to keep this thing together over the next six months. This day in 1996, Blake, heavyweight boxer Tommy Morrison was suspended by the Nevada Boxing Authority. Before his scheduled bout with Arthur Weathers, because a test administered in Las Vegas came back HIV positive. He had the AIDS. Which is how he was able to defeat Rocky in Rocky V. That's right. The AIDS boxer? Yeah. Yeah. It's quite a heroic, just quite a club to have in your bag, if you have that as well, to be able to fight another boxer with.

And on this day in 2015, NBC announced they would suspend Brian Williams as nightly news anchor for six months without pay because he misled the public about his experiences covering the Iraq War. Six months without pay because he misled the public about his experiences covering the Iraq war. Misled. Misled. He just straight up whole cloth fabricated stories about being in like Black Hawk helicopters that were being shot at. Just crawling through the mud.
