We still got it. You got the Mexican guy. Hey. I could have guessed. What are you doing? Hey. Yeah. I don't know what I'm doing.

Whoa. There's a music difference. That's not my fault. Is it the levels? The levels on my stuff? What are we doing here? What are we doing here? That hit you?

Oh, maybe that's just what I want, though. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jacob. I'm Blake Jones. Actually, good morning, right? Even in DFW. I'd smack somebody if they said good morning to me at 1130.

Or want to. Want to. Well, then I won't say good morning, although I might want to be smacked by you. We are not in DFW. But don't you hate the guy that's like, good morning. Oh, well, not morning anymore. Actually, that's worse, you're right.

Actually, afternoon. The day flies by, you know? Oh, no. Do you know my Wi-Fi password at my house? Don't say it. Can you text it to Travis Gafford? Yeah. Community Mechanical is over there installing some stuff,

and I just let them in. Uh-huh. So they're probably just going through the fridge right now. Whoa. Water and broccoli? Just binging. Anyway, we are not in DFW. We are at Cowboys Camp, folks, in Oxnard, California,

where the Dallas Cowboys have Training Camp 2025. We are here at the behest of our title sponsor for training camp, which is Flooring Direct DFW. You can go to FlooringDirectDefW.com slash DZ and schedule an in-home visit. We are out here, though, broadcasting live to tape and broadcasting live on Lou Tube, which the guy from Motley Liu bought. No, it's a... Keep the run in the jail.

YouTube. If you want to watch us live all week. There's definitely an inmate of Lou Starritt who had that genius idea, right? Lou Tube. Went to the library and was like, I think we need a program. Doubtful, actually. Anyway, this is a lot of fun.

I'm very excited to be here. I had a cool experience yesterday. We're in the tents all week. By the way, last year, if you remember, when the Dunn Zone was learning to walk before it could run, they said, you know what? We will allow you to broadcast from training camp for one day. And the other days, we decided to do it from the,

well, that's why we brought a DZR. so we could have a place to broadcast and we did it out in the parking lot and we just would walk some guests out there lot lizards this year we're in the tents on the on the tennis courts behind the hotel they stay at all week long and according to our first guest he is wrapping up a specialist meeting and then walking over with his two friends so stay tuned to see who that is who could we be having on terp as our first kind of cowboy guess. It may be Cavante Turpin time. Anyway. I had a cool experience yesterday because this doesn't get old to me. I'm in a very lucky position where I am a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan. So I think when I first started coming out here with the ticket as a young man with Bob and

Dan, they were already seasoned, grizzled vets. And I was just blown away to be here. And I still kind of have that feeling. But yesterday it was like Clayton's first time here. In fact, it's his first time to ever travel west of the Rockies, as he apparently only speaks in Art Bell phone call. That wasn't interesting to hear. Yeah. A guy, his age, and his, I just kind of figured he's been around a little bit.

Yeah, he's been in the professional game for a long time. It just turns out that his particular professional game actually thought the country stopped at the Rockies. But just to be here, I walked in. and I was like, dude, we're, at some point you have to be like, this is the most popular sports franchise on the globe. And the NFL is the closest thing to what we have as like a cultural religion in America. And this is the biggest one.

And this is like the brains, the heart, like this is where it starts. And it feels like a little bit unassuming because we're at a kind of a spare hotel. And these fields are, I mean, I play flag football and fields nicer than this. a junior high so it has like that quaint sort of family feeling to it but this is like the biggest brand in the world and this is where it starts and i think we take it for granted because we beat it to death we come every year or we arrive um the other ones for me yeah but it is a trip like this is a big deal it's it's very exciting i love it i love it i kind of love love that we're here.

The last week is sweet. This particular week seems kind of sweet. We kind of have the run of the place a little bit. I don't know. Yeah, the stories are the same. Now, we can't Winston Wolf each other just yet, because it's only day one. But I'm ready to Winston Wolfie.

I'm excited to do it. I'll go 90%, 10%, whatever you want, because I'm happy to be here. Matt Grimm is with us again, the great Matt Dallas, who drove the DZRV last year. This year, he drove the Clayton Mobile. He drove Clayton here to make sure all the equipment got here.

Clayton got Winston Wolfed by some people who were walking up, like, some fellow nerds, nerd, broadcaster, engineer types going, I can't believe your setup. Like guys that work for the car, like, this is the greatest. He was very pleased. Yeah. Which made me very pleased. A little setup that I could imagine. I've worked myself into a weird position where primarily my thoughts on how is the show

are Blake and Clayton in a neutral mood? Just not bad. Yeah, no, you can, annoyed, exasperated Clayton is a guy we see often. And Blake is just like, oh, God, any other job but this one. And I like that. Actually, Matt was telling me Clayton was kind of tense the other night when we first got to the Airbnb B and because he was kind of checking equipment and making sure and he's like yeah he's he's kind of nervous and I go that's good yeah I don't like do you want a guy just laid like I don't

know we'll figure it out at some point like he wanted to figure it out the second we got in there and then I hear him go yes like he's cheering because he got it all working like late nights Saturday or whatever day it was production game no but he's he's making sure Saturday night that Monday afternoon, or excuse me, morning. It's not it. D-I-E. Anyway. Yeah, no, I feel good.

I'm happy to be here. Let's see. Did we have anything else to get to right away before our guys get over? You could play the audio from my wife, if you want. I could. Okay. If I was prepared to do. No, you're fine.

But I am not. But I did, you know what? We should plug, of course, Flooring Direct. is our camp sponsor. It is flooring direct at DFW.com slash Dumbzone. What they got. Or slash DZ.

The big deal with them is flooring, and they want you to have an in-home visit. An in-home visit is what they are specialized with. They're very fan-friendly. They're very DZ-friendly. Dan Ratliff owns... But I don't want to pay for 36 months. Am I screwed?

No, no, no payments. There you go. Or no interest on the payments. Zero interest, financing nothing down for 36 months. FlooringDirect.com slash DZ. Yeah, so go there and actually look at that. They have a big dumb zone like right up there when you go there. And then it'll say, here, continue here to a little picture of you, I think, when you go to that website.

If you want to just get a really big head, bigger head than you already have. That's another copy point for Game Day men's health. It'll expand the size of your head because Jake is like full of himself these days. Joining us now, there are three men that we think are friends. So some people would say three amigos. It is the, can we just call you guys specialists? Yeah, that works. That seems like really like you're above everyone else.

Speaking of having a big head. Correct. These are, it is, of course, our great friend, Brandon Aubrey and his good friends, Brian Anger and Trent Seek. Awesome, thanks for having us. How's it going, man? It's good. Nice to see you guys out here.

Does this feel weird, like, when you introduce your cool friends to your not-cool friends? You ever try to, like... Yeah, you ever introduce your girlfriend to your friend? I think I'm getting serious enough that I could. to have our friends. This is the test. Yeah, I know.

They're good guys. They'll get along. I think you guys are pretty cool, too. Did it take a whole year for this to happen? It did. For this intro, that's embarrassing. We kept asking him, and he's like, I'm not sure. All right.

Just not quite ready to take the leap. Honestly, we weren't sure if you guys would be back. So we were like, we don't know what's going on. And then you were. Well, not because of your wares. Actually, I was going to ask you about that. One of the thing that comes up in this off season is like a hot pursuit from Denver. And we were thinking, like,

that's where you go to get the average up to get paid. Yeah, the punt. But if you can do it without having to go there. A punter wanting to go to Denver, I thought that just goes without saying. You would say yes right away. Altitude would be fun, for sure, but I wanted to stay back on.

Stay with the amigos. Yep. Did you take less money, or was it similar? Same. Sure. Okay. All right. That is weird, though.

The taxes thing, we always hear about that in the NBA. Like always here, like, oh, taxes, state taxes, there's no income taxes. But I feel like if you live in Texas, you understand property taxes, and it kind of all shakes out the same. Do athletes actually consider that the state tax thing, like largely? I would say so. I mean, California had like 13% extra tax on top of federal that we're getting charged. Is that where you get charged out here?

While we're here, yeah. So definitely is a factor for the whole year. some teams try to argue that and use that as leverage to get you to take less and you shouldn't do that but I'll just say yes okay yeah yeah that works so I feel like for most guys they come out here and this is like the most they do this is this is football this is football distilled once we get into the season practices are so managed so controlled but is this more exciting boring like I feel like for you guys, there's a lot of open time out here. Like, does this feel like the most charged up you are for the season out here,

like everyone else is who's finally getting to hit? What's it like for you guys? For me, it's like knocking the rest off. First reps that are meaningful and put pressure on me. So I enjoy it. And then there's obviously a lot of downtime, like you said, that we get to go just find something to do with filler, ping pong, whatever, chess. Paintball. Golf.

So it's fun. tiring for sure you kick a lot during the off season um i try not to until we're getting closer to preseason okay so you'll take a few couple months off yeah how do you do it trend i guess i've i've heard from punters and kickers on this but i don't know what your move is just straight tricep extensions all summer yeah i mean right on but no but uh yeah i usually just kind of work out a little bit through through the off season and just slowly ramp up like once march hits then it's like okay time to start snapping and knock a little bit of rust off make sure I still know how to throw a spiral and um and yeah just kind of amp it up to two or three days a week

once we get into OTAs use a net um no I've got some uh a lot of times I actually end up working with like local college kids like worked with a couple kids from SMU I'm usually if I find them on Instagram or something there that's not creepy but on this topic I got to say this is a young college man. Cowboys off-season award winner here. What does that mean? It means I'm really strong. Do they base it on what you left at? What did they win?

What's the thing? A parking spot and a t-shirt. I mean, what was the competition? It's just more based off of the coaching staff they go through and choose guys like, all right, we feel like you worked really hard in the off-season, saw some good improvement from you, just kind of a little

just recognition for being bought in extra. to the off-season program. Now, would you ever consider, because you guys are well compensated, but not, like, well-compensated to some of your teammates, would you ever consider flipping the parking spot?

I mean, everything's got a price. He's the guy who do it. I'm not going to say, I'll say no. Yeah, so he's the guy. You said he's the guy that would do that? Like, if Dak wanted to offer me, like, two-milled for the parking spot, yeah, for sure.

You set the price right there, now we negotiate. I'm anchoring a little high. Well, it's negotiable. T-shirt you're going to keep. Yeah, T-shirt. It says SIG on the back, so it's going to be like this. Now, the long snapper, that is a weird. We talk about this a lot.

Well, no, it's a weird position, though, in that it's like you don't want to hear, it's cool you got this off-season award. It's because if you hear about the long snapper during the season, we're not talking positively, generally. Yeah, yeah, typically. Oh, yeah, it's something really cool and just that we work a lot with the strength staff. I'd say we're with them probably as much as our position coaches. So it's just nice to get some recognition from them

and just know that they appreciate the work that we're putting in. Do you feel it is an underrated position in that most people watching TV say, I could do that one? I mean, for sure. We get that a lot too. I mean, of the three of our positions, it's probably the one that would be the easiest to pick up. Like, if you can throw a spiral, I'd say you'd at least have a chance

at getting the ball back there. The biggest difference in differentiator is actually being able to protect. And that's one of the biggest things coming in from college and making that transition into the NFL because you don't have to protect in college with the way the rules are, depending on the scheme that they run. But yeah, going from just snapping the ball and running downfield to trying to protect against guys like Sam Williams.

It's a lot of freaking tougher. Well, they're not allowed to blow you up, though, right? They technically, or they just can't line up over me. I've gotten blown up a couple times, yeah. Okay. You guys use Sam as a gunner, no? Did that happen? That was one of the craziest things I've seen last year.

He's a freak athlete. It's crazy. So, sorry, we know all about you. Yeah, absolutely. This is fantastic. Have you thought? So we have a friend. Are you guys, like, jealous that he has his own show every week?

Yeah, I mean, we've been asking to be on here for a year. Brian Egg doesn't care at all. so what if we were to do you have any kids Trent two you have a boy yes have you thought about like I'm gonna make him kick they get paid way better okay but there's more people thinking that we already learned your business and no pressure market inefficiency I mean Brandon figured it out in like two years so how hard could it be the soccer thing though you gotta have the soccer background there yeah I guess I don't know if I want to watch him play soccer grown up and I don't either that's right I forgot to wear my soccer shirt if oh there it is

See? Nice TFC representing. Aubrey on the back. I was 32 playing soccer, but I love it. Oh, this is a different, okay. It's like a crossover. If you started the kid now, could he be, like, the greatest long snapper of all time? You never let him do anything else.

And I mean, never let him. I want him to aim higher. Okay. You know, you always want better for your son than what you have for yourself. Well, you aimed at kicker, and that's like a little higher. But you guys are still sitting here, right? Specialist, I feel like you're the tough guy. You could have a tough guy kid.

Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely the toughest of us three, if that's what you're saying. Yeah. I don't see his ponytail? Yeah, let's get both you guys' thoughts on what Trent's going with here. Looks like a man bun. Brian doesn't have hair. I don't know if I want to comment. I don't want to stir any pot right now, but.

yeah i don't know he tightened it up a little bit so it looks better but we're working on him shaving the beard a little more maybe just get it a little bit trimmed um but yeah i've actually had a couple buddies comment on trent's photo i posted one they're like oh my gosh man trance hair is getting so long yeah no comment i'm going for the the viking like uh you're there ragnar look it's fantastic you ever go beard guy oh uh i had a mustache for one practice and i came It's terrible practice. Never again. I tried to get him to go along and he couldn't do it.

It's good to get it out of your system. Yeah. So, Brian, he, Brandon knows that, like, some of the statistics used in football drive me crazy. And it really shows up in kicking and punting because all yards are not created equal. Like, I'm a big, I don't want to hear about raw yards when you picked up five yards on third and 22 as opposed to third and two. And I feel like this really screws punting. and kickers a lot because the difficulty is not factored in like you pull up the leaderboard and it says your missed kicks or your net punt average but I feel like those statistics are not

representative of specialists I'm interested in like contract time what sort of numbers you're able to talk about like with your your agent or with other teams like there's there's punts that end up this is what that punt was that are not representative of the kick you made and I I feel like I've heard from Brandon sometimes, you get frustrated about that, so I know this is a thing. Yeah, I think the most important is net punt, but that's a team stat. So I obviously help that stat when I'm hanging the ball high and have that hang time distance correlation, like a 5.0 being 50 yards. That's like a perfect ball. You deviate from there. You hit a 55 yard or like 4.5 seconds, then obviously there's a better chance that's going to get

returned. But factor in your coverage team, and it's a punt. a team stat so we've had some good units we've had some good years and set a couple records here and it's it's team for me so but I obviously have input on that like I said before like I think hang time is most important and balancing out with with distance can't be too short and high you can't be too long and low so hang time distance net I guess my question also is like, do you feel like you have a hard time explaining, hey, I'm actually awesome, like when it comes to contract times as opposed to like a position player? And even for Brandon, it's like, I made these field goals, you know?

Yeah, I think they know. You can tell the guy, yeah, you can look at film and see that guys got a bigger leg in another guy or one's out kicking his coverage like everybody calls it. So I think it's visible on tape. I've put a lot of years together that we're very good. So I think the film doesn't lie. What kind of challenges does that scoreboard at home present? I try to stay away from it. That's a repunt for the punt team,

and those guys are flying downfield, taking on blocks and stuff. So they've got to come back and cover a second punt, and sometimes we'll lose like one or two of our gunners just because they're flying downfield and they're gas so they don't want to go back up we need a fresh body in there so I'll lose my number one guys outside which I don't want so we try to punt away from it I guess we'll go we'll go sideline from the boundary side I guess we'll go from hash to boundary so right hash mostly I'm going right we'll mix it up and I'll rip a ball left every now and then, but for the most part, we're punting away from it. The first couple of times I played, I guess I was playing for Houston, and I think the first time I came out here, yeah, Houston, maybe Tampa. It's very enticing to smoke it in warm-ups, but now seeing it every day, that's like just go through the rhythm and just stay away from it, I guess, punt to hash to boundary from whichever side I'm on. Have you hit it in the game? I've hit it twice.

One of them, San Francisco playoff game. I actually got rolled up on and sprained my ankle pretty bad. Got a roughing the punter, moved up 15 yards. We went three and out after that, and then I had to punt right away afterwards. I had to run in, and it was a little bit tender on my plant foot, got rolled up on, and dropped the ball a little bit inside, just trying to take it easy and miss hit it in the middle and nailed it.

So I had to repunt, hit a good ball next one. and then we had one against the Bengals like three years ago, two, three years ago maybe. And they said that it was outside of the video frame for any of the TV video they had for replay. They couldn't see that it actually hit the scoreboard. So they ruled it a non-hit and it definitely did. It went straight up in it and then just came down. There's your net average. It went down to the 17.

So, like, we had probably, that was a, it was a I-10, maybe, but should have been aiming around the 10-yard line. So I lost probably 7 to 10 yards on it, and it just came straight down. So, yeah, twice in a game. Now I'm thinking about the other one that drives me crazy. He knows this, too. There's no, we got to get lasers, robots. They're not spotting that punt out of bounds, Zach. There's no chance.

There's no way. I'm going to look up here. What are you got, pal? down there. This looks good. I'll throw a beanbag. A fucking beanbag. That's probably going to be accurate. Yeah, don't you get me started on that.

We probably have like seven yards a year just in fair catches that are not marked in the right area. And it's usually like one yard forward that they'll mark the ball. And I swear it's like seven yards. And on a 70 punt season, that's 0.1 yards on your net. And we've been punting 50-something times a year. so it's like one and a half yard or he knows yeah like point one five yards point two yards on my net that that uh cheated out of i guess but yeah the sidelines sometimes you get a beneficial one most of the times you don't the the coach is screaming if it's opposing sideline he's screaming

to market 10 yards forward and the ref stops a little premature um but yeah mostly mostly not in your favor didn't they used to always call it like doing a coffin corner punt how they don't do that anymore Did we get rid of that, like how they got rid of the disabled list of baseball? I think everybody now is a coffin corner punter. I think it's just punting has just gotten better as a whole. I think that look at the stats from the guys back in the day, and they won't compare. They wouldn't even make the top 32.

They'd be bottom of net stats and stuff. You're saying brave guy sucks. I don't say he sucks for his time. He was the best and still is one of the best. but I think if you compare the technicality of it now, it's just so much more precise and just such a different game than what it was before. You had linemen out there punting and kicking footballs.

Like it just wasn't as specific as a position as what it is now. It used to be a turnover ball. What do you mean? Yeah, turn over. Like not an end over end over end where they do the Aussie style end over end kick, like a kickoff. it used to they just used to hit spirals but um yeah i'd say more so spiraling but yeah it's just gotten just gotten differently technical than what it was before so i think everybody um is held to a

higher standard now than what they were before when did the long snapper become hey we're gonna have a guy who's just a long snapper your guess is as good as mine come on because they used to be just another guy right you to be like the you go to the hall of fame and here's trent explaining the history of punting right they kind of avoid the long snappers at the Hall of Fame so I'd say it was probably more really when they probably around the time they started really specializing in kickers and punters too because like it was like okay well they got they got really specialized we need someone to be able to keep up with them and put it where they want it and yeah and because like as they get more technical they need the ball in a certain

spot and it's like all right we can't just be let or throwing the ball back there and having them run around everywhere do you think about that like uh do you basketball fan at all i mean i've watched basketball i just like i was watching a that's a very sarcastic answer and i don't uh like i saw a clip the other day of lebron talking about like where he puts the ball for shooters and it was like poetry like are you actually thinking it was Kyle corver Kyle corver yeah just like where he likes to receive the ball or yeah so that that is something um i've obviously worked with a few punters over my career through college and like a quarterback the pros like yeah like um certain punters like a ball certain certain way like with brian i know

it's better to miss a little high than miss a little bit a little low just because he doesn't like like to necessarily bend down as much and it helps him stay up and stay on his line so um it definitely gives me more of a of a range of that or like my punter in college he was uh or ryan stonehouse he was like he's a shorter guy he's like uh i think he's 510 and he uh he uh he's he liked the ball low so he could like really get his body into it like he he gets a lot more momentum going downfield so that kind of helped him there so just had to adjust over time to like lower with him to hire with brian i think that's that's a very interesting uh answer to a good question uh great question such a question the best question before we move on so when brian was

talking it got to something that we joked about for a long time on our old station you guys live in D.FW, you know the quality of play from, like, high school football. We always like to try to find the line. Like, when did Ray Guy play? Like, in the 70s or something? Ray Guy. Maybe the 60s? Yeah, drafted in 73.

All right, let's take, like, Super Bowl winner. Like, when did the Dolphins win the Super Bowl? Seventy. Undefeated. The 17-0 team? Yeah. Like, could the 9th grade squad at South Lake right now

No What? What about their varsity team? South Lake's varsity team right now. Have you looked at the size? What is your question? Could they beat the 1973 dolphins? No.

Have you looked at the sizes of the 1973 dolphins? First of all, you're starting at left guard. I would like to think that the left guard was more athletic than me, though. Maybe. So how far do we have to go? 50s? Until a high school team?

You have reservations. Clearly the worst team in the NFL today would beat the dolphins, right? Yeah. Like the Browns. Are we sure? The 70, dude, the guy you guys are so much bigger faster now. Brian seems like this is like a whole line. This is about when Brian joined the league, so let's do it.

I don't think you're talking grown-ass man strength versus immature high schoolers who just are trying to figure. turned it into the worst team in the NFL today. I'll bring it back to technicality, like still the pros and even over college. College athletes, you take, you pluck the top one or two guys from a college team and put them on an NFL team. They might not even make it. And that's the number one. Imagine how much of a stud the number one or number two players on each team of your respective college team. High school, how many high schoolers are making it? And maybe one per team is making it into into a D1

program so it's like there's no yeah there's there's a definite no no chance you got a 14 year old yeah they're making them different now is all I'm saying we dropped Brandon in

1960 though when like 62 they would burn him at the well I was going to say 62% is the best instant High Famer yeah would he even make the team

they would take him to NASA and be like, can you get this rocket up here? But would he make the team, because he's doing this little sissy kick from the side? You've got to go straight. Have you? Yeah, you're a man. You're wearing a shoe? Have you ever toe punched it?

Oh, gosh. When I was in, like, fourth grade. Okay. You never just try now? They used to wear different shoes. Like that. I'd need, like, a square toe to kick that. With my soccer cleat, no, there's no way you're making.

That's why Tom Dempsey got surgery. He cut half his foot off on purpose to make it like a little club. Even the barefoot guys, too. Whatever it. What about the barefoot hunter? What were we doing? Why kick barefoot? Have you tried it?

No, there's no reason to. Like, you bruise your foot and there's like absolutely zero reason to do that. I just don't understand it. If your choice is a football cleat or a barefoot, I'm going barefoot. With what? If I have to kick in a football cleat or barefoot, I'm going barefoot. Why? There's no way.

The football cleat has no feel on it. There's so much leather between your foot and the ball, and it's just so boxy. There's no way to get the proper. Yeah, that toe is. Okay. You have kicked in a. barefoot then you've tried i played i grew i learned to play soccer barefoot it does hurt at first but you that's you learn they say that's got kicked in a football cleat in high school because i played

wide out as well too so i didn't wear soccer shoes and and it was just fine it's it's okay it's not that hard so definitely no no on the barefoot point counterpoint here to get this out hey let me uh take a quick pause just to promote a community mechanical oh we uh have some advertisements on today's show and you're familiar with community mechanical that's my hvac company Travis was just over my house installing something I just let him in because you know he's a great dude you've met him yes Travis Gafford awesome awesome guy came up and uh fixed our AC unit which we were told was completely told we needed to be replaced and um did it real quick and real cheap and got in and out took care of us and uh got signed up for the the monthly or the preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance, yeah. So the other company said it's going to be like five figures to replace it. Yeah, we need a completely new unit. But there was something with the compressor that was like a what, $1,000 part or maybe we're getting it mixed up. But the expensive part, they said, was broken and completely totaled, and you might as well do a whole new system. They came over, community mechanical came over and said, no, no, that's not the case. It's the cheap part. That's just barely broken.

And they came and replaced it real quick. They both start with a C. I'm not very handy. So good at this. Yeah. Capacitor and condenser. What else do you need to do? I'm good on AC.

I live in Florida and have gone through like probably four new units throughout my time there. So we got, what is it? CommunityDFW.com. Yeah, I wrote some lines for him, but I don't know if we do those because he kind of just did the spots. We could do that later. We could record them later. Yeah. What's their phone?

Oh, 469. 6-7-7-290, you can even text them, and they'll get right back to you. Like they got back to Brandon Aubrey, who is a proud whatever of communal mechanic. Probably customers. Customer user, yeah. Customers. The word customer begins with the C, all these other, you know, I can't. Capacitor, condenser.

There you go. Condensate. So, do you? Well, I've never heard that used as a singular word, condensate. I have not. That is, it's the dripping that come from the, cooling of the air. Was that...

Condensate. Okay, it's not just any dripping. Okay. Is this condensating? Yeah, condensation. This is a little bottle. Actually. Uh, this is probably a dumb question, but do you, uh, would you get, like, an extra

serious shot of nerves when it was fake time? Like, last year you had to throw a few, and I just wonder, like, I assume you guys don't get nervous anymore in your regular gig. Um, yeah. Is there a tell on the sideline? Are you warming up? beer. No, no, no. Yeah, no, no, yeah, no tell. You're over there doing the DAC hip, the hip twin. Brian Anger warming up for the next puns. I'd say I get

a little more excited, I don't know, maybe a little bit more nervous, but we practice it a lot. We work it out every week. And we're running. It's just more exciting. Yeah, more excitement. Yeah, yeah, give me the ball, coach, let's go. So the whole unit is kind of juiced up. Yeah, we practice it so much. to where it should be second nature, and that's where you're just excited to get that completion because that's what I, we talk about it. Like, I've completed, I don't know how many three or four passes in my career,

and that's more than some of these stud college quarterbacks that are just awesome. And I was like, never would I ever expect to have completed passes in the NFL. I have a two-point conversion. Like, it's so cool. Next, I hope I can get a touchdown and break one of these plays. But, yeah, it's just pretty neat to think about that. Two-point conversion, why are we so hesitant with that?

What do you mean? Back in the day? I feel like even now. Oh. Right? It hits at 50%. So at some point, the expected points. We got shotty in there now, though.

Yeah. He might take that. We also got Brandon's. Too much variance. That's true. Yeah, if you're straight up 100% on extras. Just dependent on game situation, too. I just like it wild, man.

I'm a big fan of the way the NFL. fellow's headed over the last. Yeah. Do you feel like your special teams coach last year was a little more chaotic or Bones is a wild dude? I'll answer that, I guess. Yeah, Bones is known to be more risky, but we'll see what happens. I won't, yeah, we won't give you guys any hints, but.

Well, you're giving a hint by saying that you are not going to be vanilla. Although he could be saying they're going all the way the other way. Yeah. We will have stuff in the bag, yeah, to be revealed. We'll see what happens. The drop, what was the, can't she, like, drop it, it hits the ground and then you kick, what is that? A drop kick.

Drop kick? Belichick's done that, I think. Yeah, yeah. Can you do it? I've done it in practice. I know Brandon can hit it, too. It's terrible. I'm terrible at it.

I'd much rather just kick a field goal. Okay. You're not catching. Well, obviously, that's the thing you do. Yeah. It's tough because you're going from a closer point behind the line of scrimmage. I think taking that snap, like Brandon's kicking in eight yards. So I don't know if he would catch it at eight yards, take a step forward and hit it,

and just inconsistent with the drop. So it's, yeah, there's a reason why it hasn't been attempted very much. Oh, did you see the Jags kicker? Yeah, that's incredible. 70-yarder? Yep. And at sea level, too, and maybe a little warm, but any conditions, that's incredible. There was not visible wind on the shot I saw of it, so that's just he put his nuts through the ball.

We all certainly think you're going to have the longest in the NFL history at some point. Yeah. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't count. I like that. Is it the first time you've heard that, Trent? What? Put his nuts through the ball? Yeah, I haven't heard that.

His nuts through the ball? Yeah, I love it. That's kind of like you need all your hips and your ass, but nuts too. Representing your hips and ass is your nuts. Where did you hear that first? Is that a bones? No, kicking coach. Okay.

speaking to coaches did he was it in an email like call me shoddy or else did he dictate no people just started calling it's a cool name stuck we uh blake's really into video games yeah what do you play um playing mad right now because it just came out he landed yesterday got to our Airbnb and 20 minutes later had the console set up ripping through the redskinned commanders as the cowboys he got to just had to just have out of a kid. Now he's free for a little bit. Enjoy himself.

Heck yeah. It's what training camp's about. He had a kid Tuesday. Oh, congratulations. And he's out here today. But it was the second. I'm dedicated. Yeah, who cares.

So, Blake started calling him tactical shoddy. I think this is a Fortnite. Yeah, it's a Fortnite thing. I love it. But it seems like you guys love it a lot less. So we're going to shelve that one. Of course, wait. You had a kid on a Sunday?

Tomorrow is his birthday. Yeah. A Monday after a Sunday game. Monday after a Sunday game, you were at the game. Yep. Flew out right after, and then... And then how quick were you back? I was back Wednesday night.

Damn. Yeah. I'm sorry to compliment you then. I was complimenting Blake. Sawed off, shoddy. I'm going to looking for something. But Brandon thought... Just called sawed off.

Yeah. It was up, shot off. Yeah. I don't know. We'll workshop it. It got more alliteration going with that one. Yeah, a little bit more. What does he have you guys...

Have you competed with Shottie? Because he's been like, oh, we'll play a wad-up paper basketball game, right? I beat him in a put-off putt contest, so I got him. You're nice with it, though, right? I'm serviceable. He hit a 25-yard put. Yeah, I hit a long putt. Do you guys all golf?

Yes, yeah, we've been golfing quite a bit out here. They golfed with an LPGA champion. Yeah. Out in Frisco. Yeah, that's fun. with Chisoto, E.Y, I think. I didn't want to take a shot at that last name. I just thought, I was trying to trip you up thinking you wouldn't remember at all.

But there you go. Yeah, what else do you guys do to kill time out here? Because it feels like you guys are like your own team almost, you three. I think of them as like Navy SEALs, like special tier one operators. Special forces. Use operators instead of special. When you need us, we will be there. That's right.

Yeah, we, my family's here. I'm from Camryo, so I'm from 15 minutes away from here. So I've got a bunch of family that I visit. It's a cool three-week vacation for me to just to get back and see family. I've been on the East Coast most of my career. Spent two years in Houston, but haven't had the opportunity for my parents to be a part of seeing operations and stuff unless they want to travel across country. That's so cool. So it's very neat.

Yeah, they get to come out here to practice. We have a VIP tent for friends and family. So they're here every day that I punt. So pretty cool situation for me. I came here when I was little. I don't really remember it. But had a picture with Herschel Walker holding me when I was one year old out here at Cowboy Camp back in 1989. So pretty crazy.

That's awesome. That is awesome. What's your path to the NFL, Trent? Just because it feels like the long snapper doesn't have a... I bet you everybody has a different story. I think... Did you play soccer? Until I was five.

But I think a lot of us are actually kind of like failed tight ends and linebackers. Like, grown up, long snapping wasn't like, oh, this is what I really want to do. It's something I kind of did. Like, okay, this will help me get recruited. I'm coming from a small school, do what I can to get to go D1. Oh, so in high school you are the long snapper thinking that. All right. Yeah.

or that personally and really um even since i was younger it's become a lot more focus on it like you were talking about how everyone's going after being a kicker like it's they got camps the camps are wild like hundreds of kids going to like snapper camps and whoa yeah i didn't realize it are there like a certain star like can you be a five star long snap yeah so um so yeah there's just a couple guys that really have um i'm going to say no notoriety as far as like being like, okay, these are the guys that you go to their camps. You perform well here. And you're essentially going to get an offer to go to college somewhere. Like if you get ranked in their top 12 or whatever, you'll probably end up getting an offer somewhere. Like, because I remember when I was getting recruited, I had a scout from TCU come in and was talking to me a little bit. And I told him my long snap too. He's like, all right, go to this camp and they'll rank you. And then we'll talk to you about that after you get ranked. So then I ended up walking on at CSU. I was trying to play tight end and deep,

or tight end and a long snap at the same time. They mostly recruited me as a snapper. And I remember like, like third or fourth day in pads. Practice in college was significantly more difficult than practice in high school. And we got the special teams period. I was just gas and I put like two balls over the punter's head. I'm just like, all right, well, I guess I got to really focus on this. So I can earn my scholarship.

and so then I stopped playing tight-end and just really tried to work on perfecting the craft of snapping. Because you knew tight-end, I'm probably not going to... Yeah, I mean, like I said... If you could be the starting tight-end, you would have worked on that. Yeah, like I said, they mostly recruited me as a snapper. And as far as being able to afford college as a walk-on, my quickest road to earning my scholarship was through snapping.

Because as a tight end, like looking back on it, I probably would have had a chance to play, like, junior, senior year if they didn't have a bigger recruit come in under me. But as a snapper, like, there was a senior that was there, my red shirt year, and it was like, okay, completely open job next year. This is why they brought me here. I'm going to really dial into this. And then, like I said, there's guys that help you get to college. There's also some guys that have kids. camps that help you get to the pros and I worked with Zonner a lot and he used to be a special teams coordinator

for the Ravens and now he's kind of transitioned into being like this is guru yeah he's kind of like the guru helps transition like I was saying you got to protect in the pros versus college and like he helps teach kids how to transition into protecting more and essentially once you get you don't have to go this road but it's the route I took once you get his like stamp of approval and that's when I started getting some calls from NFL scouts and ended up going as an undrafted pre-agent to the Ravens did my first preseason there and then got got cut after that or cut after that

preseason and then you ever get a massage with Justin Tucker I was I was never offered to go with him, so I don't know. Sorry, I didn't mean to stop down your story. Yeah, you did. Worst in-game snap that you've ever had. Carolina, 2020, I think. And the, I missed the cue for the cadence a little bit and tried to, like, hold the ball for a second. And then the cadence actually went.

And I rolled. and I rolled the ball. It went like two yards, but it rolled perfectly to the holder, and we got it up, and it was a PAT, and we still made it. Oh, okay. So I got away with it, but that. Did they have fun with, do you watch the film on Monday? That was not a fun one.

That was, that was, that was, you know, one of, uh... I got laid into pretty bad for that. At least it's funny. No, now, it wasn't that. One of Brunig's big, uh, are extremely autistic lawyer. He has a lot of sports points that he thinks you should be down when you hold the ball, when you're holding. You should have to keep your knee up.

Think about it. How else do we allow that to just happen? Your knees on the ground. No one's made contact with him. More, yes, college football for sure. That would be in the case. Did you have an LP LaDessure poster on your wall growing up? I did not.

Have you met him? I have not met LP, actually. I've heard a lot about them, obviously. Great dude. Being here. And so my coach with the Raiders when I was with him, he was with Dallas for six years here with L.P. So everything I

did was like, oh, this is how LLP would do and he'd pull up film of him. And just a freaking, like obviously great snapper. And just a monster of him. And like there are a couple things. Like, oh, look how he's working against this protection. Like, I can't get there. You have a guy in each

hand and just be like, just stop him both stone cold. I'm like, that's great, but I'm not freaking 6-7-2-65 or whatever he was. But you guys had to smelling salts. No. No. No. No. No problem for us.

All right. Well, they say that the team can't give it to you or something. Was that a thing? Mine are being delivered tomorrow, so I can't hand them out. I was never too into those, so I don't know where they came from. That's honestly a huge shock. Is it? Yes. These two guys, I could get it, but I feel like Trent's have an ammonia nitrate for breakfast. Get it going. Maybe for breakfast, just not at the game.

There you go. changes that affect you guys this year? Balls on game day now. We don't have to have our EQ guy break them in for 30 minutes, like an hour and a half before the game, which is nice. Now we get them like right now. Yeah, we have, they shipped a whole batch of

balls for the year, and we can pick and choose. I think you can use a ball for three weeks. I don't know how they're going to determine that. If they're going to put like a tick mark on it or something like that, but you're supposed to use balls for three weeks and then change them out. So, yeah, usually we have like 40 minutes

the refs used to watch the the ball guy break in balls and that's back from the olden days like Morton Anderson and Gary Anderson I guess used to like put them through a cycle on the washing machine and rub a bunch of different stuff on them and like make them into these rugby looking beach balls just big old fat balls that have a massive sweet spot on them

so they tried to eliminate that and then just caught kind of a little bit silly some of the regulations they were putting on it And, like, the crucial catch games and the military appreciation, the balls just, like, aren't the same as a normal week's game ball with the stamp and everything. It's a different leather, right? Yeah, it's like the leather's a little bit different. I don't know.

We heard something that the balls are taking from different parts of the hide of the cow. So, like, a quarterback ball will be from a more durable, like, thicker leather versus a kicking ball. It would be like a thinner part More supple Yeah, more supple And do you feel like that's true I never knew about that I thought it was BS but you can feel it yeah

It's true and comes from a different part of the cow on the hide So I don't know if those Featured games if the ball is from a different leather Or something like that but they were different They're always a pain to break in So it's nice if we will get rid of some of those Like, you're talking about net again where a couple yards is big. So it's like the sweet spot shrinks and the ball just is different.

We don't take the ball straight out of the box. It's a rock and just has no sweet spot, no compression at all. So it'll help us out a little bit. And, like, no, we do not take a ball out of a box, throw it in the game and kick it. Like, they need to be broken in. And each kicker, each punter kind of gets together and determines what they want. And our ball guy here, Dylan, one of our equipment managers, he's amazing. So, like, he's just as much in the specialist group or we are.

Like, he helps us out a ton and helps us with our success, just having a sweet peach of a ball every game day. If I had a worse snap, I wanted to ask, worst punt ever. um worst punt um back to college i don't know i no yeah um i had one that i uh that i dropped the only one i've ever dropped uh out in washington a couple three years ago um just was a little bit outside my body and and i kind of pulled my head early and just smack my hands and fell down i had to try to run it um so that's just embarrassing back there um is that funny the next day no not funny at all just getting pissed off um so yeah i'd say that's the worst um otherwise um jacksonville my rookie year we i had a great year killed it um was gonna i set the NFL record for rookie

um net average but was going to shatter it i think i was netting like 42 and a half yards and we were two and 13 at that point and guys just kind of gave up the last two punts of the game um had two house calls uh guys just just guys just didn't cover downfield and I hit two good balls outside numbers and should have been covered and house call back to back. So those are the two that I'm probably most mad at. I went down from a 42.5 yard net to a 40.8 in one single game lost 1.7 yards. And that's hard when you have like 90-something punts on the year. That's a big number to eat. So that was a, that was annoying. It's just kind of really disappointing and annoying.

But again, it's a team stat and it goes into the team. You ever get blown up trying to make a tackle? I don't know. I don't. Yeah. What's that? You figure that we're, I've taken on a couple linebackers where I've surprised myself. Like I get a little bit angry when the ball, no pun intended, but I'll get a little

frustrated when the ball's returned and I'll get pissed and run downfield and try to hit somebody right now and then and i'm 210 pounds um i'm not tiny i guess six four two 10 so have a little bit of meat behind me and some of these returners are what a buck 70 wet like what's turp right now yeah um so so we have a little bit of meat running behind us and and shockingly we are actually athletic so how hard is it not to just stand over someone no i i wouldn't do that um johnny johnny Johnny Hecker did it one time where he picked a guy and decided to hit a linebacker, no, and then the dude ran after him, and he just dropped to the ground into the fetal position. That's all you can do.

And it's like, dude, you just can't do that. He's a big dude. So, yeah, I won't do things like that. Yeah, when you got to make a play, you got to make a play. Touchback's 35 now. Yeah, I was going to touch on that. I saw the first kick the other night. I mean, I don't know if you were happy with it, but it looked like dude catches the ball.

on the goal line one foot in one foot out he's like I gotta go downed it like the 20 21 what was it last year 30 30 they made it more punitive it's gonna be really hard to get a return to the 35 so most teams are gonna try and put the ball and play on kickoff will be let's go very exciting for kickoff teams lightning round real quick do you know their favorite curse words if they mess up or saying like what are what's Trent airmail is one what does he go with you can edit it first of all I don't I've never never seen it never seen it happen um Brian is something about stupid Cubans his coach is Cuban and okay it's a big story I did not come up with that term he he came up with that term if I was miss hitting a ball he would say like go back down to 75%

kind of like your golf swing like don't try to crush it the more you swing hard the the more variation you can get. I don't think that's true. Yeah. So kind of similar stroke, like try to start killing the ball and mistakes are usually glorified, I guess. So tell me, like, go back to 75%. And that just means, like, stay smooth, go back to your mechanics. And next ball is a pure ball just well hit.

And he would always say, stupid Cubans, like, hey, I actually know what I'm talking about. So probably first day in Jacksonville as a rookie, I'm. I'm crushing the ball and miss hit a couple and backed off to 75% and out loud I said stupid Cubans And my coach looks at me There's 31 other teams Yeah my coach looks at me

My special teams coordinator John Bonomago Bono looks at me And was like what did you just say And I was like I had to explain the whole thing to him He's like why did you just say stupid Cuban So I had to tell him why it's pretty funny All right What's his?

What's his? Yeah, do you guys know? Does he ever miss? He never missed? It's definitely four letters. Okay. I'm not proud of it. It just feels like he's too money.

Do you guys want him to miss so he just has a little bit of a big head? Like I want him to mess up, yeah. No. Okay. See, I don't believe. You mean they're good teammates? We compete enough things off the field they want me to suck at. Yeah.

Well, I don't want to take too much of you guys' time. Do you guys Jurassic Park fans? No. No? That's awesome. I went to go see it at the Hollywood Bowl the other night with the symphony. Worth a watch? It's incredible.

The symphony plays the theme. It's like the Star Wars one they used to do? Yeah. It's like the L.A. Philharmonic. Did your family come out this year? My parents came for a couple days. That's it. No kid?

No kid. She doesn't want to travel with baby. What Shottie seemed to at the beginning of his tenure, I want to hook up different guys from different, like... Units. It's not you guys just going out to dinner, because you probably always go out to dinner. Did he pair you guys up with difference?

Like, who did he make you go out to eat? Yeah, Shottie, I thought it was really cool, actually. So he kind of, what, groups of, like, 10 guys or so, we went up to the Cowboys Club and had a dinner, and I was... Is that the first time you actually met C.D. Lamb? no CD's cool but yeah so I was up there who was I with I think

Miles Sanders Bronte Williams Juan Ye Thomas Duran Land That is a cool I love it It was cool because like

Like I talked to the guys But it's mostly like in passing You know we're always To and from meetings Or they are more than us But it was really cool To actually like sit down Here's some guys stories

Miles was sharing some of his stories being a vet. It's always fun to listen to the guys that have been around for a little bit. They tend to have some better stories. Who do you make you go out with? Why don't? Can you stop saying it like that? I think I lost my invite. It might have gone

to my MySpace account or so. Oh, wow. You're not really part of the team. Maybe that's why you were under contract negotiations. Who knows? We'll see. We'll see if it comes. I think it's cool. They make fun of it. Did you almost go to Tennessee? I heard that, or I guess was reading,

maybe they were just putting it together because of Bones. Yeah, I think just the Bones stuff. Obviously, Bones, big fan of me and I'm a big fan of him. I don't think that they were serious about it because there's not going to be a contender this year. There's not really a reason to pay a punter high when you're not going to be a playoff contender

and doesn't come down to the near the yard. Yeah, field position flipping and stuff like that. So, yeah, yeah, it wasn't really there. When are you guys going to get on Twitter to say, hey, Jerry, sign, let's pay Brandon now? Yeah, we'll stay out of that. We'll let me. He's change your profile.

He's doing it on his own. He will do it the right way and keep on making field goals and it'll take care of itself. But we can acknowledge it would be very funny if the two of you both changed your profile pictures on social media to black and white photos of Brandon. Yeah. This would be very funny. It would be funny. So,

we like comedy. He, uh, I'm trying to get him to hit the, the swipe, uh, after a big field goal this year. Oh,

the, he's fine for them now. I know, but we think CD might pay it for you. We think we should pay it, though. Oh. What is the fine? Before I say,

we'll pay it. What is the fine? It's like 5K at least. We've got you. Five is, I thought it was like 35. Yeah, it can be up to like, I think a max is like $43,000.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty big. We would be in for five. If it's repeat. What kind of car can you buy? I bet we get community mechanical throwing a couple. Fairlease.org, Prid. Who did he make you have dinner with?

I went with Kenneth Murray linebacker. K-9. You know it? Dude, I'm the biggest fan. That's the thing. I'm an actual, this is like heaven for me. Yes. Kailen Carson, feeder, one of our coaching staff.

Gosh, it's been a while. Trent rattled him off like crazy. I know. I feel like I'm missing one, so I feel like. Ferguson. It meant a lot to him, though. Yeah, Ferguson, Terrence Steel. And, geez.

Good times. It was fun. It was good times. But I sat next to Kailen Carson, who I've never talked to before and talked to him for a long time, so that was pretty cool. I love it. I mean, to me, the best parts about football were competing and hanging out, and the coach is like, let's just do that. So I love it. These guys make fun of it because they're haters, but we'll check in at 19 and 0.

I was going to say, I will say the best teams I've been a part of, like, the locker rooms have all been really tight. So I think it's cool that Shottie's putting such an emphasis on it. Me too. Yeah, it's always the question, what comes first? You know, do you get winning and then all of a sudden it's a lot more fun so you hang out with the guys more? Or can it be done the other way? We'll find out, I suppose. I don't know that this, yeah, this year will be the final test on that.

final no more chest you do not win the super bowl then it's it's not worthy of going to dinner with people we can't thank you guys enough this is very cool of you to take the time on your off day i know you just did it for him but we appreciate it do we have gifts oh we have gifts yeah yeah so the debate was whether to bring these for you because traveling trying to travel with a car tray but thank you yeah yeah so i was doing a lot of my work and a lot of my uh doing a lot of my eating that I was hiding from my wife in my car, like throughout my 20s, and I started using these little trays, and now, like... His wife will be like, tonight is quinoa and tuna night or something.

And so he stops at Taco Bell, or Waterberger, of course, that's the labeled, you know, fast food, and he will throw it on that car tray and wolf it down and then throw away the bags and the gas station on the way home.

I do they've been out to your house they've been out to Blake's house you know something they've installed a roof at my house yeah something I don't think I said when we were remodeling our house my wife talked to Brian Evans and he looked at things and he's like I think it'd probably be more efficient for you to go with the company that's remodeling your house right now he just told us that's the thing about these businesses we're hooked up with community qual they'll be like look this might not yeah they he's going to suit you straight that's the main thing with uh qualis roofing qualis gc.com 817 5009008 you should get your roof inspected every year they say or maybe even twice a year you should and if you do that you'll get yourself a free dumb zone t-shirt in the

Yeah, it's $690, and you're going to be getting that for free when you get a new roof. They'll take care of you at qualusGC.com. That was a lot of fun, that live spot. The live spot was, yeah, I'm not just so sure about the three Amigos. No, those are... He Googled my Lucy's.

Or are Lucy's. What does that mean? He took a picture to scan it. Oh, okay. Make sure he could... I'm not familiar with Google Lens. Did you tell him to do the Dumb Zone code? I'm going to get it to...

We have to. Okay. If that thing spreads like wildfire in that locker room... Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you, there. Dude, Brandon Aubrey is such a cool dude. I'm a big Trent guy now.

Yeah, no, they all seem to be pretty fun. But just the fact that he's setting this up for us. Very cool. Like, he kind of cares about his show. Yeah. He asked about my kid, and I think he meant it. Yeah. And that's funny because my wife, my wife, it's a movie.

Which one? Borat. You should go see it. It's really funny. She asked me about your kid and I go, don't know. She's like, haven't you? No, I have not asked him about his kid. If something bad happened to his kid, he'd probably tell me, but I'm not positive.

Yeah, you don't, it'd have to be, how bad would it have to be even? Right. I mean, he did tell me the poop. poop was a little runny. I did not. That was you. No, my wife actually did a, yeah, we had a speakerphone call with my wife this morning, or the other day where she was talking about her, not her poop situation, but my dog's poop situation.

And Blake thinks it's just him. Because if you remember, Blake was on a phone call with Killer Kellison a couple of years ago, where Killer kept talking about the poop consistency of his new baby. And it wasn't like his phone to his ear And I just heard what he was saying He put it through the Bluetooth in the car So I got to hear both sides of the conversation Very aggressive

I don't even really like people being on speakerphone around me Dan will ask Is it okay if I put this on speakerphone And I will say no Like when I'm around you or when I am talking to you When you're around me There was a situation in the car It's come up

I don't recall that But it's you know we communicate you know that is important in this day and age do you want to hear a speakerphone call i made this or uh jake made this morning we are prepared to do that yeah yeah yeah so what was the scene so uh pretty prepared for the trip out here um probably doesn't take a genius of a listener to figure out that my uh my head was a little more wrapped around this trip than in years past it was packed one day early not the day of you're getting to my level i think i got all my chargers i got my vitamins all my meds all my protein whatever but as we know

they have different laws out here in california regarding stuff you can smoke and uh the main one you may know about is that uh recreational marijuana is fully legal out here that may make you think boy willy-nilly no laws they have a very conservative view on the consumption of nicotine And that extends to both pouches and vaporizers. If you would like to get a nicotine delivery system out here, it's going to taste like tobacco. It's an odd demand that they've made, but I can't get one that tastes like strawberry melon mango. And I need it, so I made a phone call. We're at the stage now where she's getting hit on by the forklift, right?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Let's see here. Let's jump up here. I didn't know. I didn't edit this. I want to hear that. We still got it. Got the Vanskin guy.

Hey. I could have guessed. What are you doing? Hey. Yeah. I don't know what I'm doing. All right. Here's the phone call.

No, I'll back it up. I want to hear the first part. Hey. Quick question. So, you know how I packed like pretty good and everything? And I packed the Micah Jacket. and all that. So right away.

Suspicious. She knows I'm going to ask her to do something. She's had to do that before. Yeah, yeah. I had to overnight the Micah jacket. So that's why you brought up the Micah jacket. You're so proud of me for packing the Micah Jacket. Right, right.

Set the bar. Mm-hmm. They do not sell flavored vapes out here. So I'm going to need you to next day meet a couple of geek bars today. I'm not doing that. Come on. All the ones out here taste like nicotine or tobacco. Well, then do that.

I start smoking cigarettes. Just use the vapes that are out there. That's absurd, Jake. Think about it. It's a small ask. Like, I think it would probably take you 15 minutes to go. It wouldn't. it's very silly and think about

this I mean I did think about it I'm not doing that no it's a horrible habit that I don't think you need to be doing oh he could go back to the other one yeah yep shut up don't do it I remember where you

it's not the first time you done that well yeah of course I am but I also need these fucking veils I also okay but seriously though can I get these veins I'm going to call my mom. I'll call you later. Don't do that shit to your mom. No.

Awesome. Looks like we're... Are you recording? You asshole. Sucking on tobacco flavors this week, boys. We have an intern. We do have an intern. Is he monitoring the show?

Is he going to be with us later? Do Henry's birthdays? glorious so i don't know blake anything to report or are you just back in business um i mean i can tell you a few things just about the difference of the second kid but what time is shotty eleven so i'm 20 minutes here um all right this is a weekend check then right an official weekend check yeah let's make it brought to us by window nation isn't that the place you could actually not even pay and you will get windows zero down make zero payments pay zero interest for two years that means nothing until 2027 and right now this month they've got 50% all window types go uh go look into

window nation yourself they've got 96% customer satisfaction rating the five star reviews on google you're not going to get a more well-regarded company in the window space than window nation and again you're not paying for two years so back to school right now this is the time to do it save a little electric bill money right absolutely going forward uh what are you what are you trying to air condition the whole uh state of texas uh no you're not uh so get those windows taking care of at window nation dot com the free estimate you can schedule that at 866 90 nation or window nation dot com and again no interest no payments for two years and 50% all window styles this month or also if you replace

those windows, a Cowboys jersey or some Rangers tickets. Oh, nice. That really matches the whole cowboy camp vibe we're trying to present here. It doesn't matter. Go ahead. What? This is just a weekend check music now. Are you going first?

Yeah, I didn't know if you two were settling something. Okay. All right. So I had I had my... I messed up. Go ahead. I'm gonna plow through. You should...

We could fix it. It's Cowboys tickets. Not rangers tickets. Oh, well, that's even better. I know. Why wouldn't you correct that right away? Look how excited we all are to hear now. It's cowboys!

Cowboys! If you could do Windows and Windows! We don't know. All right, Blake. Now, so, tell us your little story. He played the music for you, so... Now it's Blake time. Yes.

I'm not going to tell you much. Second kid, millions of people do it. It was just amazing the difference in the first time I was so afraid to go home because I enjoyed the nurses coming in to make sure my kid was still alive because I didn't know what to do to keep him alive. This time, as soon as the 24-hour labs came back, I was ready to go. Yeah. Because they were in every hour, every hour and a half to check his temperature.

You're like, he's fine. Take his blood. It's a baby. Which he was chill until they came in. Oh, yeah. to poke him and prod them and just bug the hell out of them and so once we got home he was actually able to sleep for you know consecutive hour and two hours so it's been way better being home but i'm of the camp that i will not like i'll go to the lobby in a hotel room so i don't poop in front of you

i'm that nice of a person and even at home i'll go to the far bathroom we're the closed door policy at home i don't need to see it but i thought it was odd that i went to the lobby bathroom to do that when like these nurses yeah saw way more of my wife than anyone else should have and they're used to seeing those kinds of things but i didn't want them to smell my poop yeah that is true that's like the one place where that or like if you were in the military and you're like boy i don't want these guys to see it's like they they see the worst right they see the worst of the worst yet i yeah i was just even afraid of the courtesy flush and they've got the bathroom like in the room right yeah that's a little yeah dude i had a nurse walk in on me uh naked

she was naked uh yeah what were you doing shout like there's a there was a little like half-ass shower in there yeah i didn't think anyone used that yeah why you showered at the hospital yeah i was there for like six days okay maybe Yeah, I can see that. It's up, chill. You didn't go home to do that? No. Dude, Clayton saw me doing...

Oh, big time. Clayton saw me doing a super ferity move yesterday. So the media out here, you get free waters. But I think a lot of people just kind of open them up and take one sip. And then they leave them out. So yesterday, I was doing both cleanup and I was dumping... If they were, like, one sip, I was just dumping. their water into my water bottles.

You're cleaning Cowboy Camp? Yeah, I was. It should be respected. I think, and there was free water. It was just going to go to waste. So I just dumped their backwash into my water bottle. Collected

five or six empties. That makes me think of something about our disgusting setup at the Airbnb. Beautiful house, wonderful everything, except for they have a fridge full of half-used like condiments. this is a big topic yesterday what's wrong with that well they have like a jar of mayonnaise

do you want a new mayonnaise for every day no you want to use a mayonnaise that who knows who else used it like i don't even want to use dude he's he really set this up for me yesterday it was like my buddy who one time we were all bitching about our families and he was like yeah my uncle he's a real black sheep he didn't even call me on my birthday last year we're like what this is this is and then yesterday was like well because i I was talking to Matt Grimm. It's Jeff Kavanaugh, DLS, Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys, DLS. Dan was like.

I was talking to Matt Grim, who's a really logical, normal person. No, he was talking to me, and he was like. No, this is before I talked to you. I know. I know. And Matt Grim, I said to him, isn't this terrible? And he said, absolutely, this is disgusting. I won't use it.

It should all just be thrown away and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to talk to Jake about this. He had an Airbnb. He had an Airbnb. He'll agree with us. And he comes in and he's like, man, can you imagine it your Airbnb if you just left condiments just in the fridge? Can you imagine someone just using this mayonnaise? And I was like, they got fucking mayonnaise in there?

Right. You only get some mayonnaise. I've been using the coffee creamer in there. The open coffee, it was like a big coffee creamer? Yeah. No, bad bit. I won't even use. No, nobody's licking the mayonnaise out of the jar.

It's on a knife. What do you think they're doing to it? This is like hotels now have like a big thing of shampoo in there. I'll buy my own little shampoo. That's ridiculous. I want my own personal shampoo. I appreciate that they had shampoo and condition and soap already for me. And I appreciate that they knew that King White Boy was coming in.

And if they had mayonnaise on everything. I would use that too. It's disgusting. Just like I told you last year. The one thing they did right is they put a brand new sponge in the wrapper. So I have a brand new sponge because I told you last year I was buying a sponge for the Airbnb. be because it was a used spunt. I'm not going to use that.

So now... Oh, look, a used condom, let's just use it. I mean, gosh, it's still good. Does it have a hole in it? Just the one to put your thing in. A used condom is actually not a bad idea because now you're creating a little bit of confusion, right? If you end up on Mori...

I don't know. Good at me. So now with the newborn, the only thing we can do is watch TV at home. Yeah. Which I don't like sitting in the same place for hours, but here we are. Do we ever talk Happy Gilmore, too? No.

Because I watched that. Oh, okay. Review? We watched it in two different sittings, and the first one, I think we watched an hour 15 and hour 30, and it was when he had just lost the tournament. And I thought... What? I thought if the movie would have ended there, it would have been really good.

But the second half was all about the dumb live tour, the new tour. shooter back and that's when the movie got stupid but i thought the first half was really good i heard it was like an hour and 45 minute tic talk video like just every experience in person and scene in line crammed in to 30 second packets yeah it's see like they rushed the m&m stuff because he's the jackass guy in the second part the new tournament rules were stupid everything in the back half stableford probably but i thought the first half was good i think it was really My oldest daughter at Clemson said was, if you saw me walk away from dinner last night, because Shadi made us go out to dinner last night, get to know each other.

Right. I was on the phone with her because she needed the Netflix login thing so that her boyfriend, who's in a different state, could also log in and they could watch it at the same time. Yeah. And she gave me her review, 9 of 10, so funny. What the? nine out of ten so funny that's it I feel like broken the mold she's

what do you mean she has a follow-up text no she what do you mean what do you mean she loves it we've been doing this for a while you're saying a roast twin just hates everything we've never heard a positive public review she must not know when you were going to share that but she doesn't even usually give it to you

if she likes something and she occasionally like something that's never happened like she likes this dude we don't even really know that though we just know that they're associated she may be you know right yeah yeah anyway then the other thing i've been watching is the new dexter series by the way i meant she may be just grifting into the top here

like she's smart she's you like she would just be using the guy like she's like the ann and Nicole smith of yeah because he seems pretty well put together he's two years older than her uh Dexter was my favorite TV show ever. I loved it, binged it several times.

Several times? Yeah, I've seen Dexter a lot. And this new series is ridiculous. It's horrible. I'll keep watching it. Is his rival, the Big Black guy? What's his name? Dokes?

Yeah, Dokes. Permaise. Is he in it? They're kind of doing the same thing that Happy Gilmore did where they're trying to bring back the member berries of, hey, remember this character that you liked from a long time ago?

Oh, remember this guy? Oh, here's a cameo from this guy. But he's in it a little bit, but it's just kind of flashbacks. But the story is ridiculous. Like, everything is such a stretch, and then it made me wonder, was this Dexter? And I just didn't know it. So now I think I have to go back through Dexter again. You do.

All of the shows that I've tried to get you to just spend, like, one season with. He's going to watch one again that he's seen seven times. All of the shows. All of the shows. but you do you. Generation Kill? It's eight episodes. We should watch it while we're out here.

I was actually thinking about that. Are we failing by not having like a movie or something every night? I tried a blue-collar comedy tour last night. I loved it. Made it through Ron White. So you're thinking at Cowboy Camp we're failing because we're not watching a movie together. We're at Cowboy Camp. But you and Bob and Dan were always just like, we need to go to or watch a movie.

movie like every day and uh i saw there's a new naked gun which i was wholly unaware of oh i'm very aware of that and uh i'm interested i'm also thinking maybe the new superman is that out here at the discount movie the uh leum nisom and leslie nelson are kind of the same person to me uh oh it's leum nison yeah so it works yeah i think that'd be great he's actually really funny i know He has a fantastic Asian bit that he does, a little impression. Have you seen him in the Ricky Jervais show, that one? I've seen that clip, yeah. Kevin James is in an action movie?

Oh, yeah. You know, we were turning Kevin James back into an action star? I thought, but maybe not. Like, he is in that one where he's a skinhead, right? Yeah. Okay. But he kind of looks the same. I didn't touch that one.

So I only brought one pair of shoes with me because I had to keep some room in my bag for my Xbox. Dude, I took a picture 20 minutes after he sits down last night. It's hooked up. He's through the first quarter. I didn't even say hi. Our Airbnb has an old-timey, like stand-up video game. And it's got a bunch of different things on it, but it had, yeah, like Gallagher.

But it has an asteroids on it. And it's an exact replica. And I'm, like, fired up because it's the exact same game. Like, you know how you've seen these replica games, but they're kind of off a little bit? It's not the same pattern on the Pac-Man or something. But this is exact. So I'm pitching it to everybody as they come in the house. Like, hey, I don't know if you're into it, but that's the exact.

And I was trying to pitch it to Blake last night. And he was, like, really nice. He was being a really nice, like, he might tell his grandpa, like, how he doesn't want to do something. Well, Jake, I'm setting up my Xbox that can play games in 4K. I can play anyone around the world, and Dan's like, hey, this is a replica. He's got a VR helmet. It's like he's actually on the field and he feels the snow. No, look, this is Brandon Aubrey right here.

That's exactly what he looks like. But what about this game that they invented in 1982? No, that's cool. Yep, it's cool. It's just the same. I would just rather do anything else. But no, I got to keep up on my dynasties that my friends are waiting for me on. and then now I can play guilt-free.

I got to say he was breaking it down yesterday, and he's like, this looks better than any Madden in a long time. And he pointed out that, like, Tyler Guyton and Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker's bodies all look very different. Whereas before, you just have, like, a guard and a tackle, and, like, kind of they would have, like, skin shades different. But, like, you can see now, it's really, it's cool. Yeah, all linemen looked alike.

all the skill sets, but now they, I think they did a good job. And you know why? This is the last year that they have exclusivity with the NFL license. You know what that means, Dan? I don't. Pressure brings about innovation. So next year there's going to be a potential other game. Yeah.

And that's when you got a, I remember when 9-89 entered the chat, the Madden games got better. Yeah, yeah, because they had competition. A couple more things. had a 1205 flight out here, got to the airport at 1127. DFW or Love? Love. That's not horrible. You're flying Southwest.

It's still a little bit of a rush. It's a bit of a rush, but that's not... It cuts against Establish the Run Guy a little bit. Wait, 12.05 flight? Yeah, I don't know. That's... Eight minutes before boarding. I thought it was like a 45-minute limit. You can't get there more than 4.05.

45 minutes. Oh, I didn't check a bag. Less than 45 minutes. I just have my backpack and my carry on. Wow. So I just walk through TSA security or pre-check, walk straight to the gate and get in line. That is where he's a dichotomy. Yeah, that's anti.

He will show up really late to the airport. Yeah. And for me, like, the only reason I'm not, like, super impressed is just because I had a really messy relationship with the airport for a long time. So, like, I've been the last person on a Southwest flight three or four times. Well, you don't want to be the last person. I know. you have been oh yeah everyone's looking at you oh what is this the drinking air that's what you're referring to yeah well yeah I mean

I just never it wasn't I'm sure it was all related to that but I just didn't take the airport seriously okay it's just like whatever like all these stuff they're telling you I just don't believe it you got to be here this time you got to be here at this time and that I actually I'm with you on that it's I think it's a little bit much sometimes but it is but if it goes wrong if it goes wrong I I have missed a flight because of that. But it's cool to get there early, and you could have a bunch of air-conditioned steps

as you walk from one end of gate scene to the other. So I saw something at the airport on Friday that if I had gotten my phone out, it would have been great audio, but it was already happening. Is this me? No, the gate next to us. Is there something you should be? No, I just don't know.

Okay, the gate next to us. Because I might have gone in the family bathroom. I almost took a picture of it I did see you do that I It's so big No the gate next to us Was going to somewhere in California

And they had announced An hour delay And they were already delayed But I was there for when they announced The new hour And it was for bird strike Oh And she goes

We've had They're working on a mechanical issue It's the result of a bird strike It'll be about an hour more crowd and the lady now you got to ask yourself what is her job as gate agent uh it's kind of amorphous you know she's going to check you in and out but she's also there to communicate the airline's information to the customer yes and within that job she's got a lot of leeway and so she was like i don't know it's going to be uh bird strike it's going to be an hour oh

she's like hey hey wouldn't you rather figure it out that down here. Right. Would you rather figure it out down here than up there? And I'm like, all right, that's already a little more than I need, I like it. Mrs. Smarmy. And then she goes, hey, look at it this way.

It's a great opportunity to go get a nice, healthy, filling breakfast. Shut up. We got three restaurants. And I'm like, dude, this lady is really taking advantage of her moment here. That's great. But then we were able to get on, you know, honestly, I was hoping that you had heard what happened to me and you were recording it because it would be another uh another plank on my sea i was always like this i met a listener at the airport his name is riley he's darrell and plano of the tip

sheet's son who yelled at norm that tashar choice is an idiot i started talking to him careful darrell my dad called i had my headphones on i just walked off from my suitcase Romo. Oh, wow. I took my headphones off and I hear Kristen Kemp at C-21, we have your bag. I'm just like, oh, shit, I guess I just walked off from my luggage.

So I walked back over to the gate and, you know, I've had my headphones on for like five minutes. So the lady's like, your name? And I was like, last name's Kim. She's like, you just didn't hear us? Oh, my God. And I was like, well, no, I had headphones on. and she's like let me go see if we have it and I was like ma'am I heard me like there's a possibility

we don't she wanted to mess with me you know and then I was like kind of communicating I don't know that I'm up for this right now can he give me my bag and she's like all right but that would have I wanted you to know oh I wish I saw that the whole airport was hearing I yeah your bag you've been here five minutes you lost her bag so you just wandered off yeah because Jake will wander off and leave his wallet laying there for his keys and he's like oh no man it's cool i believe in the earth and freedom your bag is safe is safer at the airport than anywhere else yeah where they're going to go they're going to take it right to a gate and then they're going to call you and tell you we got the bag um here in california you may know like THC legal big fan we went to a store so if you're

here in California, you can just do that. Let's say you're back in Texas, though. How would you get your hands on some THC? Early Bird. Go to Early Birdcbd.com, and you would use a code DZ20 and get yourself 20% off at Early Birdcbd.com. Even if you used a code in the past from us, and we said, hey, this code is good for this order only. You can use this code now, even if you used that other code before. I think the other code was DZ-15, so this is a better deal.

Unbelievable. So much better. Yeah, so it's really two options on the table for you. You could move here, which I feel like possibly is cost prohibitive, or you could take care of this at early bird CBD.com, get 20% off, get real THC in your gummies, two and a half milligrams in each. Yeah, just a light amount perfect for the evening. I wouldn't even mind tossing in a couple perhaps. Yeah, go for it. me. That's, uh, everybody's different. Everybody's different. Uh, and everybody has different

jobs. Everybody's a snow. A drug test. These are not necessarily for you because there is real THC. But that's why they work. So early bird CBD.com and the promo code is DZ20. That's right. You can't take them anymore because we just started drug testing. Um, we drug test to make sure you're using it. Yeah. Hell yeah, bro. Whoa. Love pun. Oh, where else are we going? Oh, do you want me to, or you got anything from the trip, from the drive? Do you have a mic even? Oh, Clayton doesn't have his mic.

He just gave us a shrug. Clayton and Matt Grimm drove. Insane. These people are insane. They left at midnight. That's my... From Matt Grimm's house. Yeah, I was there.

Oh, you were there to see them off? I showed up at 1130, 1145. Kind of like Adam Romo, were you wearing like a squirrel suit? A beaver outfit or something? Yeah. I will give you just a quick hit. I've got stuff throughout the week for you. But I will just tell you that...

It's Babe Lofenburg, folks. All right. The great Babbino. God, the stars are out, man. I will just tell you that Dan and Jake got here Friday. Blake got here Sunday. Matt and Clayton got here Saturday. So Dan and Jake got a hotel Friday night.

and as we walked into that hotel we were going to be up on the second floor and so we both got in the elevator and headed up and the elevator just it went up but then it just stopped and it never opened can i offer one bit of a pretext to this uh it was at the point where we'd already been to the shop yes so now we had already had a little THC and I'm like, yeah, we're about to go to dinner or something. I'll take a little rippooroo here. And we were stuck in an elevator. And we look, I worked over it, Dan. And it was well over like a minute. Yeah.

And we didn't know what to do. So I'm thinking, if this gets much longer, this will turn into a penthouse letter. Because Jake was looking great. He had been to Game Day Men's Health. No doubt. And then I'm me. Of course, he's going to be into it. So, but then he actually.

called the thing and he's talking to the front desk and they were like oh that sounds bad and we're like yeah yeah no we're stuck in the hotel and they're in the uh thing and then like kind of very soon three seconds after that the door just magically opens i don't think she had a button so i think maintenance was done its way and i'm like should we wait and jake's like no just go to the room and so we went to the room and uh i don't know that was like i mean you Here's the way I'm looking at it, positively, that you have a quota of getting stuck in an elevator in your life, and we just knocked one off. And it was an easy one, because it was in between floors one and two on a three-story building. But I had a moment of like, boy, this is going to get weird.

Because you got a little phobia in you, right? Big time. Oh, and yeah. What if we're in there for, like, a couple hours or something? Big time. And, yeah, I looked over at Dan, and we were both in the mode of, I don't know, know this isn't the best time for this but i did have i had my backpack yeah and you had just given me a thing of lucy so i'm like you know what if we're stuck i've already got my uh my

my hc i will uh follow it up with a little nicotine here and everything's going to be great we'll just it'll be a little uncomfortable though yeah but anyway we got out of there and then we went back to uh the room and had sex like normal yeah we didn't want to do it well you've been through something traumatic together right right yep which is a missionary eye contact kind of moment but Jesus Yeah I have a big trip from Saturday night But I think I need to hold and tell you guys about that later

We did have You need to be full We did, yeah we did have a dinner last night Together at a place called It was an oyster food truck on the beach A little chilly out here, isn't it? It is a little chillier than the normal Hey, it's going to be a little chilly out here

I was thinking of the conversation I had had with Blake earlier that day when we were at that dinner. About ons and off some jackets? No, it was about we were talking about that we didn't go to Spencer McKenzie's. We had already been there twice.

And Blake was saying, you know, every time I come here, I try to do something different than Spencer McKenzie's, and then I regret that I'm eating at this other place because it never holds up. And so I think we kind of landed on, we should just go to Spencer McKenzie's. McKenzie's every time.

You guys are fine to do that, but I will not. So. Because didn't you kind of regret we were there? No. Or you were happy just because you crossed it off your list and know that. I'm happy because I was never going to go back there. I was happy because I was eating fresh grilled oysters on the beach that had come from that bay.

But he's that type of person. He's a try new things person. It was fantastic. And I'm not. And I kind of want to be because it looks cool to try new stuff. But then I sit down and I'm looking into oysters. I'm like, well, this is not a burrito with steak and shrimp in it. And I know I like that.

And it's totally fine. I will eat there four or five times, but I'm not going to eat there eight times. So, yeah, there's a food truck that's open on the weekends. It has fresh oysters. So we did that. And a listener, Blake 2, who's from San Diego, he met us there. and he just came down to Ventura for a couple days to hang out, and he brought us some gifts, most of which are not for the air.

But one of them is, this is a card that we can hang in the studio. This is a basketball card. What camera am I on? That one? This is a Mark Jackson card. The Kemp's men? Which may have the Menendez brothers sitting courtside in it. Awesome.

That's a high dollar card, isn't it? It's a high dollar card. You can see Eric and Lyle right there. Then we went to go get a little Froyo together, all of us and listen to Blake, too. That was great. It really was. I did enjoy that. Apparently the Ben and Jerry's is closed that we used to go to.

I don't want to go to a Ben and Jerry's. Just you think they're too liberal? Too woke, yeah. De ice cream. I just feel like that's ice cream I can get it home. I want to eat something here. So we get back after walking back with our froyo, as I'm sure we looked really masculine,

five or six of us with frozen yogurt with like... Cheesecake bites in them? You're little bites on top as we're walking back. I got a little snow caps. Dude, you did hit him with the snow caps. I went to double cookie. Blow me up for that snow cap mood. Thanks, bro.

But I'm a fatty, and so when I get to the bottom of the cup, I think to myself, wow, I wish I had another one. Scrape it all. Oh, I drink it. Like, I wish I had another one ready to go. And Jake, who is super fit, super thin, wants to put on weight. He gets the end of his. He's like, oh, that's too much.

That's how you stay super thin and fit? I know. It's just an approach thing, but I was just sitting here thinking I want another one. I might go back. And he's, oh, this is too much. I ate the rest of it later, like four hours later. You just spread it out a little bit. But whatever, I'm not judging you.

He also did have about 17 oysters where you had, like, three. And then ran back pizza later that night. Grimm went and got, dude, I told you guys. Dude, Matt Grimm eats a lot. The boy eats now. But Matt Grim eats. Shottie has a hat on today. So what we're going to do is we're going to take our break.

We'll have a, and then we're going to, for the people watching live on YouTube, we're just going to bring you Shottie. And when Shottie's done, we'll come back. And can I say this? It's because. But we'll get our spots in first. It's because we can't really do the show while he's doing it. Not because we, like, really think you need Shottie.

Want to work some spots in? Okay. up guys The Dumbes Perfect The Dumbra DEMS Direc

Walk off Time to the walk off You're listening to the Dumb Zone When's Kavanaugh's show Do you think I could get shoddy to give me a shoddy

I don't know if this is the place The Brian Schottenheimer press conference is now over It's John Machota, the Athletic. And we're back to regular programming here. No puppet. We say how to Ted.

Sure. Me? Well, he was in talking to some guy. Come on. Tad's a great dude. Tad Carper is the PR guy for the Cowboys now. And I felt... So here was my second guest the other night.

overthinking things. I'm just, I'm happy the Cowboys have let us broadcast from a tent all week long. We're fired up to be here. There's radio's Christie Scales, if anybody is, uh, wants to see Christie Scales. Grab a, uh, can you just grab the hand help or something? Hand her a mic. A headset, there you go. Grab her a headset.

The great. We're live. Yeah, we're live. Oh, great. What camp numbers? So I can't go for me. You're going through Christy's skills. 35?

Well, the first two, 91 and 92, I think I was still back at the studio. Team had moved to Austin. But Brad Sham was down in Austin. And back then we didn't have, well, I think we had the Internet. I'm not sure. We had to do stuff at the studio and then clip the stuff from the sports pages. And then I would literally fax it to him. down in Austin so that he would have information on non-Cowboy stuff because he was doing

the sports reports for KVIL radio in the morning. But in terms of being in place, I guess since 1993, so a long time. Don't add it up in your head. Don't add it up in your head. Was Dale? Dale on that team? Yes. I was the booth producer, and it was Bradsham and Dale Hansen.

Babe also started in 1991. He played for the Cowboys in 89 and 90. He got released just before or during camp, and he was our post-game analyst. And let's see, later on we had people like Charlie Waters serve as our analyst, Drew Pearson. Our post-game call-in show was called Flashback, and so Drew worked with us for probably about eight or nine years.

So we had some really great Cowboys as part of of our Dallas Cowboys Radio Network crew once KVIL took it over back in 1991. So wait, you were the booth producer. Mm-hmm. Before I moved to the sideline, 91 through 98. This guy, Blake Jones. Yes, this is Christy Scales.

Yes, Compass, huh? Yeah. Oh, you know. Yeah, how did it go? There's a buzz in the industry. How did it go Saturday? The booth producer for the national radio broadcast. I missed that one.

He went ahead and said, you hired me for a new job. I won't be there for the first one. I told them back when I was. You didn't do the first one? He didn't even do the first one? Didn't even do the first one. What would you think about this employee? He was just asked for a vacation.

Yeah, I just want a vacation. I had the birth of my second child recently, so I told them from the very much. It wasn't Saturday. You can have another baby, but you can't have your first broadcast again. My first one will be this Saturday. Yeah, he's going to game Saturday. Where are you guys this Saturday? Where's the game?

It's at AT&T against the Ravens. Testing her. Didn't know she looks ahead at all. So did the baby come on time or the baby was already. born by 4 o'clock on Saturday? Yeah, I'm slacking a little bit. I told them I'll miss the first one, but I'll do every single one into perpetuity. So they said deal.

Brandon Aubrey was here like two days after last year. He thinks he's been riding high because he's here for this today. And we're like, oh, it's so thankful for you. But he talked to someone in the real game. Yeah. They don't like it. No, I'm no Christie scales. I won't be moved to the field.

Be happy about that. So I was second-guessing myself with Tad. I like Tad a lot. I do. Yeah, it's great. Either one of you would say otherwise, so that's valuable. Right, it's probably not. But because I've known him for like 20 years because he was the Cavs guy.

And I got a buddy who works to the Cavs. So I've interacted with Tad for quite some time. And so I saw him when I first got here. And he's like, I'm just talking to him. And thanks for letting us broadcast in the tent and all that. And then I said to him, I shifted right into, hey, just if you could bring Shottie by the tent, it'd be great because I grew up in Cleveland.

Shottie was the same age as me. He was a kid in Cleveland, so we were both suffering with the fumble. Brian Sipe years growing up? No, we're talking Bernie. Bernie? Okay, sure. I forget you guys are younger. Yeah, Brian Sipe was a bit earlier than that.

Don't say older. Earlier, that's better. Thank you. Yeah, no, he was a little bit earlier than that. I mean, I remember him as a little, but I don't know if he was in town at that point because he was probably with, unless he was there before Marty, but I don't think he was. Yeah. So anyway, then Tad's like, eh, and then he's like, oh, I'm pretty busy, got to go. And I was like, did I, should I, since I've known him a long time, should I have asked him, he has a house in Cleveland.

Should I have asked him about his family? Should I have, I shifted into work mode and I'm wondering did I turn him off? Oh, no. I don't know. No. Because he seems like such a good dude. This is the game, though. And Christy knows this a little bit, but she's been with the mothership for a long time.

Anytime you ask the Cowboys for anything, you're constantly second-guessing. Did I ask too early? Did I put too much in the request? Right. Are we going to get lost in the shovel? And at the end of the day, they don't think about any of it. It's, does it work for them right now? It's not about how you ask.

No, they really do. They really do try and accommodate. so many things. I mean, you can imagine how many requests they get for things. It's an astonishing number of things that they're able to grant to fulfill requests because you, you know, I know that just like a network TV broadcast alone, there are a few hundred credentials, you know, what Whitney Faulkner and just the credentialing aspect and stuff. Hey guys, so I just see Matt Bieber Fluse, our defensive coordinator, is walking past. So may I excuse myself while I go pretend to work and turn around?

Should I stop that? Hey, thanks for having me on, fellas. Were you get to the bottom of this thing? Yeah, ask them some tough questions. Get some fastballs out there. Figure this out. You've been throwing softballs too long, and I want to hear something. Thanks, guys.

Yeah. That's Christy Scales. Cowboy Training Camp coverage brought to you by Flooring Direct DFW. Go to FlooringDefW.com slash DZ. Scheduled an in-home visit. Moxy Energy, Moxy Energy drink, Silverback Construction, and 360 wealth management with our good friend Sean Kernan. So are we going to try to keep doing the show while Fluse is doing his thing,

or should we, like, kind of, for the audio portion, take a break and then that talk over Flush? I would vote, take a break, because I'd rather just do our show at a normal energy level. You could stick around. Okay, the stream will watch Fluse. This will be about. Want to bring us up? Are you back? And for the audio version, unpause.

Yeah. We were paused there. Yeah, go for. For a couple of coordinators to be interviewed, and they were, or I guess a media session, a media session. No, Blake, you tried to surprise Dan with Clayton Adams, but I asked him to prep for Clayton Adams last night because I thought there was a chance we might have him. Yeah, and Captain Sorenson, of course. Listen, Clayton Adams does spell his name with a K. And yes, that does mean they're going to run the football.

So make of that what you will. Joining us now to tell us about Frankel and Frankel, or that's not your game, right, anymore, Jeff Kavanaugh? No, I can still do it, though. Oh, I can still knock it out. Can you do a Frankel spot in your sleep? I think I've done enough that I could probably knock it out. I just got hit by a car.

Let's just guess the phone number. Are they going to hear? Nope. We're not off. Either 817 or 2-14 then. 3-3-3-3. Keep going. Keep going.

Yes. All the threes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Personal injury attorneys. Unforgetable. Big fans of Jeff Kavanaugh show over there on the freak. I remember they were. I've had a beverage with every member of the Frankles.

That's who you're going to talk. to when you call. Guys who have had beverages with Jeff Kavanaugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but not a bunch. You know, they're responsible. Like, they're real adults. For sure. They were throwing theirs in the plants.

You want to call them from the scene of the wreck, by the way. You want to call them immediately, first call. Now it's coming back to him. Because here's the thing about the Frankles. You know, they've worked for the insurance companies. Like they know these tricks that they're up to. What they're going to do is they're going to try to catch you. Here's what I do is Frankl and Frankel.

Yeah. Mark and Scott, you're talking about them? Before. Before I drive anywhere, I call them. Just in case. I just say, hey, can I keep you on the line while I drive into work? Oh, that one was close. Yeah.

And when you call, yes, you're going to talk to a partner, not some idiot like Blake. That's some special team coordinator. Dan has him on call for strategy sessions. Like, this guy's at a stop sign, but he's pointing out in the road. If I hit him. You guys know. Anyway, thanks to the Frankles. For their support, we want you to support them by getting in an accident today.

No, that's not it. Nope I like to go with I hope you don't but save the number in your phone So Jeff Kavanaugh Kavanaugh

I was thinking about that Did we have that? Did you ever send it to me? I think so maybe All right I could just go to our house Grab my Roadcaster Bring it back out

Plug it up and we could hit it I don't know anything you just said Who are you with? All right DLS Cowboys Podcast Plus I have my own Tiny little personal YouTube page Just rolls off the tongue

DLLLLLS Tiny little YouTube page I would assume I'm getting I believe we're about to be interrupted by the special team. He's kind of had a little Rex Ryan starter. How many questions could you possibly have? Hey, the kicker.

So at this moment, we're going to pause and then come back to more Jeff Kavanaugh. Pause. All right, guys. Thank you. All right, thanks, guys. Thanks, coach. Why? And unpause.

What? If indeed. we get a chance and, like, Tad is walking by or something, I'm going to need, like, you to snap a quick picture so I can take a picture, send it to my buddy. I have my annual. This is me and Tad picture. Okay.

Say thanks, Coach. Thanks, coach. That is a cool, huddy. Anyway. Thanks, Mickey. We're here with Jeff Kavis. So. Thanks, Machota.

Thanks, Scott. Thanks, Joe Hoyt. Did you guys just get in yesterday? What's today? Today. Yeah. Do you got in today? Yesterday.

Yesterday. I don't know. I'm bad at days. Today's Monday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got here yesterday. Yeah. Thanks to the Frankles.

That's right. We're done. It's over. How is the DLSS Airbnb compared to the Freak Airbnb, or do you not want to say, meaning it's worse? Freak. Or the freaker, where were you? We didn't come down, did it? No, you came with DLS.

We'd come down with a fan. So last year, fan Airbnb would do. Fan Airbnb, it depended on the year. One year we had a literal beach house. I remember when Bassick was complaining about the overcrowded Airbnb at some point. And I said, why don't you go get a hotel on your own, bro?

Which was a, that was a Ben and Skin move that absolutely happened a couple of times. What? They were not going to do this. They went, because they had a crack den. There was a raid. downstairs for me and the next day i think beninskin moved out they went and just went on up to vintura found a hotel on the beach and they lived it up our Airbnb's fine it's standard i would say it's very standard our house looks like uh the the bin laden compound it does

but in a great level is that a good okay great way yeah uh yeah i asked him i told him we're going to malibu wednesday night for dinner and karaoke with chef jamal and he was like man that sounds okay it sounds great but i got to get to the rudder room which is the bar that all the cowboy staff goes to and i said well what about the other two nights and he said are you guys not going to the premiere tomorrow we uh today today did not get the invite to the Egyptian room for the uh the premiere of the gambler and the red carpet affair oh wow we'll be down there we'll be there you guys got an invite and we didn't we did it's because he knows clearance yeah Clarence is our superpower.

And, like, there's not a real solid chance that we're taking a two-hour drive to L.A. I don't have to drive down to L.A. You have to put a suit on. Get back at midnight? Or something nice. That sucks. You did bring a suit. I brought a suit.

But I want to complain. I know. I want to pretend that I would have gone. I know. I don't think I want to go, but I feel like it would be wrong not to go, right? Because I do, I do feel like it signifies. Do you have to watch the whole, like, all 10 hours? I mean, I think we're taking one car, and Clarence isn't going to miss anything.

Yeah, they run. run the whole thing right there i think you're going to run the first episode and i do like i think that this evening represents like everything that is wrong everything and i'm going to go yeah no it's like the media party right you go you're saying having this yeah like they're going to during training camp right they are going to take everybody down to la to celebrate when they used to be good yeah and they're going to have the guys that that used to be good there, and afterwards they're going to do a little, I don't know, panel deal. And Jerry and Emmett and Michael are going to talk about how great the organization is.

And the question is just, hey, remember, remember when? Yeah, yeah. Yes, I do. We were awesome. Remember that? I do. I do. It is very funny, though, that as Dan, I think, has pointed out several times,

they completely thought this thing was going to wrap up with a big playoff run that year. That was the team they thought was 20-23. and it was going to work nicely with Jimmy, and that's why we randomly did this Jimmy press conference in Carolina. At the very least, it could be... At the very least, it would have been like, okay, they did get knocked out in the championship game, but that's the furthest they've been in 30 years.

Yeah, blah, blah, blah. See all these guys getting out of here? Yeah. It's because they're getting down there. Got to get down there. Got to get ready to Hollywood Boulevard. Let's go. You guys want to go?

But you're not doing, no. So you're doing your D-L-L-L-L-L-S show. We're doing the D-L-S show. I struggled a lot early on. And it's also tough because we run into the new regime of Tad, where you are identifying yourself every question, despite being an established reporter. So every time I'm listening to audio and I hear Clarence and I feel it,

he goes D-L-L-S Cowboys. Yeah. Because he used to say the parent company, and I'm like, that's not advertising for us in any way. All city? Yeah. He used to be like, Clarence Hill, All City, Dallas. And I'm like, well, if people look up those words, that doesn't get them to us. So have you heard a, seen a big spike?

Yeah, huge spike since we cleaned up. Well, it's no different than these football players, you know. You got to get your ex's nose right. Once you get the fundamentals right, the rest is going to come to you. The blocking and tackling. See, I thought what I would have done to make your. I was thinking about that the other day. What I would have done to make your show better, you and Clarence,

is have you guys go out to dinner and then play a little garbage can basketball. Yeah. Maybe ping pong. We do that. Yeah, we ping pong. We may hot tub tonight together just to be close. But when you hot tub, you're competing. Because you compete every day.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, absolutely. I miss living with Mike Bassick because he would just do the dumbest bits. What does that mean? Like we had an Airbnb. It might be the one he was bitching about it. I don't know. But it was like, so his bit was we got there.

Some people weren't there yet. And he was like, hey, I'm going to go upstairs. I'm going to fill up the bathtub. I'm getting in it naked. This is just straight baseball gone wild. And I'm going to sit there until someone walks in on me. He sat there for over an hour until someone came upstairs to walk in that bathroom to go, whoa. That's the most baseball.

And that was the payoff. He was like, yeah, I was in here naked. Well, yeah, it's a tub. You should be naked. Yeah, but you didn't know I was in here. Yeah, but you had no idea you were going to walk in on this, did you? God, that's great. That's baseball.

Yeah, he put 90 minutes into that. They have time. For, I believe, like, Mike Fisher to go, oh. Then he ruggy adored him. No, no, didn't. You're talking about young rookie? Yeah, that's the kind of hazing we love, bro. No, we don't do that.

We're bringing a hazing back. It's just a little hazing. Oh, no. We don't do that at DLLS. You don't haze off? I can say now, D-L-L-S. Yeah, you're very good at it. A lot of times I would add an extra one because I was never sure.

It would be like D-L-L-L-A. Or even when I said two, I think I said three. So what's our plan here? Do you want to play news? Do news? I don't know how long we've gone. Do we care? No.

Or are we just at camp and this week is going to be a whatever? You don't live by the nothing matters and then we'd die? Blake kind of cares. I think we went an hour and a half with our boys, then another 10 minutes. So we're probably pushing. Let's just do the show. I'm about do it live Look at this guy

I thought he was over his anger issues With the stunger So new I've never seen him like this Jake's out of control We're going to start out with a little red meat For your I say I used to say like your uncle

At Thanksgiving or your grandpa But really now I just mean for Blake Because that's the same guy Yeah White House White House White From

Where Patrick Mahom is from out east texas way had a story make its way to the nationals this is a fox news you know it'll be fair you know it'll be balanced a man in tyler white house uh was arrested 45 year old man booked into a jail friday uh for solicitation of a minor in criminal trespassing he was uh posted up near an elementary school in Tyler and arrest documents say that

he was in a truck, he exited and shouted at the 11 year olds go-go-gaga, I need a diaper change. That's going to get you arrested? And one of the fifth grade girls reported

that as the man exited the vehicle exclaiming go-go-gaga I need a diaper change. He was wearing nothing but a diaper. Wait, where's Kavanaugh going? I don't know. He said it's what time?

To do his show. I thought I thought they said it was a two. I don't know. It's 2.30. No, they do it the normal way. Hell yeah. See? Did Brooks love it?

No, not yet. I just have a thing at home that plays a dad joke of the day. So the child told the office. Don't cut me off. That she was shaking from fear. And in the affidavit, it says the girls were trembling and could barely speak. They described encountering a, quote, scary guy who said, quote, will you change my diaper for me?

Uh, anyways, yeah. Be a baby. Did you see a picture of this guy? Yeah, and it's just too on the nose. He looks like a guy that might want to take him. There you go, if you want to take a game, I'll click. Yeah, he looks like diaper guy. Yeah, he does.

Ooh, hey. That's one of the best timid erics. Be a baby one? Yeah. I forgot about that. It's like a service they offer, right? Yeah. Yeah.

With the guy from Buggy Nights. Oh, that's all, then. Calliness. Oh, we've got a little bit of California news. here. Don't hang your head. That was fantastic. I'm laughing. Are you looking at this guy? These fires are no joke, bro. Like, I got out here and I had family, like, hey, I think there's fires nearby. And then I looked, and there's this canyon fire. How far is it from here, Grimm? 40 miles away, they've done mass evacuations on the other side of the canyon. Like, it's a real...

I was going to pick up Blake from the airport yesterday, and it gave me a couple of roots. and the shortest or the quickest one said but there was a wildfire warning so I did not choose that one so this started I had to wait this started last Thursday afternoon at 30 acres and by Friday afternoon was over 5,400 in one day so you wanted to buy low now they say on Saturday on Saturday they did they had it to cut in half but they did have to do thousands of evacuations I ain't leaving. Dude, people out here, I guarantee you, they're like, okay, yeah, I'm leaving. We don't play around with that too much. Get on out of here. It is also weird just driving how much the temperature changes, like in an hour, north or south.

Like driving into L.A. Saturday night, I was like, Jesus. It got cold and it got hot. It was weird. It feels like a 20. Maybe it's a 10 degree temperature change walking from the shade to the shade to the, the sun yeah but yes it's like a million degrees if you go over to that canyon right yeah and that's where the fire is and now it's even hotter because of what woke warming because of the fire oh doesn't the fire make things hot one would think yeah uh speaking of la news that was one of the

first things i did when i got settled in last night i got to rotate through the local news especially six o'clock on a Sunday the hot factor is out of control like they're not even trying to be like we're going to put an attractive looking broadcaster smart person on here they're like what if we just get a hooker that could talk here's the weather

yeah the weather lady you were showing me it's like they're the most attractive people in news and she would point to the thing and be like see see where the green is coming in here and then the red You're like, okay. Just no weather terms at all.

Right. Describing what she saw. She doesn't need polar vortex or, you know, squall line. She's like, look, it'll probably be this. I don't know. The other thing that I saw happen last night was an insane series of carjackings. And you think, like, the local news out here must just have any time they want, they can just hit police chase cam and grab some good content.

It's so much so that probably basic ones. don't even make the news well this one did because as of this morning the two suspects were still on the loose started last night in l.A. at about 11 o'clock they carjacked a guy a pickup um that suspect tried to run after them after they stole his car always smart what's your plan there i don't know what happened is you got shot probably should have let that one go so now In Patrol. He's trying to bro it out. Chips, C-H-P, who Matt Grimm became very familiar with on the way out here, I found out.

Oh, yeah. So. He got out of the ticket, though. They didn't give him a ticket. He said he was going like 100. It's because he's a veteran. Is that why? I think so.

So they're in a pickup truck. They're being chased by California Highway Patrol, and there's an oil tanker, like a gas tanker, a rig in front of them. they hit that that causes that driver to stop and get out so they run and get in the big rig so now they are in a literal 18 wheeler with gas on the back of it

this feels very LA to me feels very speed wait and they ended up getting away yeah they got all that gas well I think what happened is they hop out of that car and get in another they ditched it

they exited ditched it and then got out on foot that's incredible and yeah they haven't been they bailed got into a third stolen vehicle a white pickup truck and they lost them respect yeah and this article i did look again this morning because i was like this is it they don't show this one on america's great chases did they still have that stuff you know fox yeah we were flipping around last night there's a couple different bastardizations of it um there's a show that's basically just like crimes from TikTok, but because they have to make it a TV show, they put like a lot of, um, like reenactment shit in it. It's not, you just go to the internet. Like, they're trying to make the internet for TV now, but they can't, right? Like, back when they were America's

funniest home videos and there was no internet, it was great. Working it backwards is, uh, I don't know, it doesn't seem to work. But I feel like out here, people probably get away a lot. The more I Which is weird because the gridlock. The gridlock, but also... Traffic's moving much slower. I was talking to my buddy who lives in Gardena, like on the Gardena L.A. line, so not that far from, like, Compton, the other night. And really, this is just an impossible place to police. Like, New York, everyone is there.

L.A. is so spread out that it just... I think it lends itself to corruption. Because it's very hard, I think, to keep an eye. The more I talk to people out here on... all of it. It's too big. You could rob banks for years. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, that's a good example. And the only clue would be like a small tattoo. And, uh, but they wear police, or what do they wear? President's masks, yeah. That was a real story. Dude, you joke, but there were stats on the number of bank robberies that were, it was insane. They were just letting them happen, basically, because there were too many and they got too good.

Let's see here. Our final story, you talked about this last week, Dan, but we have some, well, school starts this week, basically. You're either going back today or you're going back Monday in North Texas. And we got some new laws, right? Well, I know that no phones, they're confiscating phones when they come in. No more phones. Which seems like it's, there is going to be a big beating for the people working at the school. but this is me hearing from a person

that works at the school telling me about this so of course she's saying everything's a beating and of course the school is saying to the people who say it's a beating you know we did it this way forever but the counter to that is

now you have a generation of people who are hooked on at minimum being able to text their parents this is a little bit like the newspaper's problem right now that they're trying to make paywall it's hard like you had to do it kind of in the beginning.

So if from the beginning it was no electronics in class. I'm for it, though. I would have been for it when my kid was in school. Okay. Another one, by law, September 1, the display of the Ten Commandments, every classroom. That's just silly. Okay.

Don't you think? I don't know. I'm just doing the news. Okay. I'm not really a guy who has opinions on these. things. Okay. It's just silly because they won't display it big enough.

Comments are getting to Jake. Comments are getting to Jake. Oh. No, I think it's pretty. I think, I think. Hey, stop giving your opinion, Jake. Yeah, no, no. I don't think Jake needs to settle down.

I need. Woke Jake. They also had the option to incorporate a period of prayer. Which I would absolutely vote for if it replaced something gay. Like, a whole period. Reading, I don't know. It says you can create a period of prayer in religious text reading. I doubt you're allowed to carve out one of the seven.

So these are just over corrections, right? Part of the negotiations where you... No, these are not over corrections. These are a different tact from the right. You know, they have people... I don't know that that many politicians in Texas on the right actually care about it, but they have people telling them they do. So, there it is.

So there's also a change to ISS. ISIS? No. And I call them ISIL. That was a cool move Barack Obama did when he wanted to let you know how much he knew about, like, the Arab world. Isle. He would use like the L for Leviant instead of state. Anyways.

You're talking way over my head. It's a, I'm doing what he did by mentioning. it. But, um, so now you still get three days of ISS for the vape. Oh, in school suspension. Yeah. I was trying to figure out what ISS was. Yeah. We became very familiar with it there. Um, and used to, though, you could only do three days in ISS before they would send you to another school, and now they're not doing that, which is nice. What do you mean? You'd have to go to an alternative school if you got

know an over three-day ISS punishment. Did you ever get that? No. Because... You know the news it did? I don't know that I ever got over three. And I was deathly terrified of the alternative school. Definitely.

What is that like... So they would have like a black site. You know, like a fucking CIA black... It's like this is where the bad kids go. They have to wear jeans with no belts and a white t-shirt every day. And it's boring. And their teachers are mean. and there's no, like, hanging out.

And that was for the whole semester. If you got sent there, you're going until this one ends. So that's where, what do they call it? That's a deterrent then. Big time. It worked for me. Sometimes. And I wasn't like a bad kid.

The penalty. The stuff I was doing was more misdemeanor, one to two day offenses. It was just running my mouth. Mischief? Not even really mischief. Because mischief requires, like, planning. Like, Blake is mischievous. But I'm, like, just talking shit, you know?

Okay. And that doesn't always. Just off the cuff. Yeah. But you're not getting sent to another school for that. However, the story I've told you about the girl who got caught with the, or they had to call the meds because she had a banana in her vagina, that happened at alternative school that she was sent away for. That's sort of. That happened at the alternative school.

Well, that's what I heard. What did she put in there to get her sent there? You know what? I don't know. That one might have been a baby. That they said, hey, 14. maybe this is too young maybe we'll take you out of the regular school you had a 14 year old that had a baby in school many many like some of them were related to me like I have multiple cousins

who had kids at 16 or younger yeah my wife went to Haltam close to Richland and she was in all honors classes very straight student and one of her friends had a kid while she was there feels different it is yeah like if you can drive but i knew some 15s and i had some family members who had 15s i mean i'm going to tell you crazy story right now um one of my aunts growing up is a great grandma at like 60 i was just about to say it's really weird to meet like a 42 year old dude who's a grandpa yeah like whoa yeah like my cousin who's 35 a 50 year old dude 33 to 35 is a grandma, my cousin. So, yeah.

That's a good way to end the news, folks. I love it. The dumb zone. Unless you want more of this. Like and subscribe. Oh, that's all, man. Calliness. I love it.

Oh, by the way. I haven't played one more time for you because he did leave an authentic sound. Oh, that's all, man. Calliness. Now you rip the bong, what do you got to do? Put it back on it. Oh, okay. I'd stab it back in.

There's not the hacking and the coughing. That's right. Hey, you know what you don't get hacking and coughing with a little lone star beer. I don't think they have that out here, right? That's the one thing you do miss out in California. Lone Star beer and Lone Star Light. We'll go look for it today, though. But thank you to Lone Star Beer.

Over 140 years now of brewing in Texas. And they offer sweet merch as well. In fact, sometimes they're like, well, that's kind of how we gauge if your listeners are paying attention to your spots. So go to LoneStarbeer.com. Type in, what do we got for that code there? DumbZone 21, get you 20% off on all merch. 21% off. I've ordered quite a bit of merch from Lone Star.

It's awesome. There's companies that just kind of have shirts, and then there's companies that create shirts. They're sick. Go check them out. Lone Star. What's the website again, Dan? Lone Starstore store?

Lonestarbeer.com. Lonestar beer.com. Perfect with a tray of barbecue. Not the website. I guess you could have a tray of barbecue and look at the website, but you would probably want to enjoy a crisp. Lone Star Beer. Or Lone Starlights.

Have a shoddy, Lone Star Beer. Yeah, so I don't think it's a problem to just let people know our objectives out here. On the tail end, like a 1% chance. I'm trying to get shoddy to shoot me up with my Game Day testosterone. He won't do that. Okay, that's why I said on the tail end of the outcomes, there's like a 1% chance. You're talking Game Day men's health? The 50% chance is that it comes from Matt Grimm, and 49% in there is others.

Throw on that headset, Matt Graham, if you want. What if I could get... What if Brad Sham would do it? No, he wouldn't do that. Brad Sham might pull that and just stab you right in your carotid. What is that? Is it... Yeah, it's jugular.

Juggler? Some sort of, I don't know. But do you think he hates you? Yes. I don't think he knows I exist. He kind of can look at you and be like, I don't like that guy. I would feel the same if I looked at me. I'm used to it.

Matt Grimm joining us for some today in history and birthdays. He's Matt Dallas, some might know him as. Punk rock OG. Blake 2 last night is about my age, the listener we met. We were talking about our concert experiences, and I'm like, hey, this guy here, went to 35 warp tours. Went every year. Do you understand the gravity of what I'm telling you, Dan?

No, I don't really even care. So, Matt, We're leading off with viewer mail birthdays, and you said you had a birthday. I do have a birthday. To deliver. It's going to be the dumb zone birthday of the day, though. Oh, should I wait? I just claim that?

Here's a picture of my 24-year-old second wife from our honeymoon last month. For the DZ walls, I continue to try to live Dan's dream of starting a second family with a young hot. Yeah.

Dude, at 34. 24. 24. Damn. Are you guys making fun of this guy? No, that's awesome. No, that's when it's okay to do it. Yeah, I mean, usually you're like 50. He says, no complaints would recommend. Happy head. Dude, and imagine how mad the wife is.

Yes. Because if you're 55 and you marry like a 35-year-old or a 30-year-old, your 55-year-old wife is like, what am I going to do? But if you divorce your 32-year-old wife and marry a 24-year-old, That's not committing too much to the quarterback position and keeping them on a rookie deal right there, bud. That's great. My leaders are Jake picking up a carryout order at Chuck Echise.

Blake's inability to hit Oppo and Dan fighting with his wife. As a proud member of the Beehive, my birthday request is a breakdown of Blake's top three Halo primary weapons. Let's not break them down. Let's just list them. Because we got a lot of stuff. Okay. Halo 5, DMR,

but he needs 158 days on a major league payroll to qualify for a pension so he's signed by the Braves he does not pitch but he became a coach eventually and he got a major league pension pretty cool that's nice it's very cool

so they said the Braves you'll never have to change your mascot or anything it's all good yeah the Indians had that opportunity and they one of the funniest things that I've experienced in the group chat in the last handful of years is I have one that our friend

KJ is in and he is the only black guy in that group text and when he discovered that satchel page was black it was a big moment. He didn't know? No. No.

That's, he's a pretty bad black guy then. Yeah, I know. That's what you thought. That's what I was thinking. Like if there's one black pitcher in the world, you have to say, how many black pictures can you name? At least satchel page. Well, it got us to thinking, like, what else does he not know?

Like, how far could we take this? But it was fun. Does you know, like, Martin Luther King? That's what I'm saying? Yeah. So what came before X? Could you fill in the blank there? Let's see here.

Nat X. DM. Uh, oh, I thought you meant Twitter, yeah. Uh, let's see. Okay, so here's some famous people that got into run-ins with the law all on this day. 1997, Christian Slater arrested. Did he bite somebody? Bid a man in the stomach.

That's Kemp's been light right there. And threw a police officer against a wall in a party, at a party in Los Angeles. Angeles. Home. Went to 90 days in jail. 1999. Nikki 6 of Motley crew arrested for inciting violence at a show

in Vegas. Police say he told the crowd to flip cop cars. And on this day in 2003, do you know about the thing involved, the arrest with Fish bassist Mike Gordon?

No. in New York. It was something that he did that took 13 hours to accomplish some crime. Charged with endangering the welfare of a child and trespassing in a closed area. He's at a concert by the dead at Jones Beach's Tommy Hilfiger Theater. Police were alerted that a nine-year-old girl was missing. The child was later found with fish bassist Mike Gordon in an enclosed boathouse near the backstage area of the venue for use by state employees only okay we're going to interview

cash soroy about that yeah i'd like to know a little more and on this what quick quick thought from the plane um when a child is on the plane like i'm seated i'm seated and there's a mom who is walking two children down the aisle of the plane and there's like the one in front they're stopped you know it's because we don't know how to get on planes everybody has to stop every two seconds uh and the little girl is that like my height of my eye standing so she's like two and she looked pretty nervous and kind of scared she was hugging her pillow and i kind of gave her a smile um didn't feel good about it shouldn't didn't feel good about it at all if the mom looks down and i'm just like me okay like i felt hey i've seen nora in that situation

I wanted to, I felt like, oh, it's different now when you see a kid and you have a kid. But, you being warm to a stranger's child, especially on a plane, I could have ended up getting memed. Pito-meamed. So you just look down or you just flip kids to the finger, right? So you're just trying to give your excuse for why you were. Yeah, why I had the hots for a two-year-old. Yeah, I wouldn't even notice that kid. Tell it to the judge.

staring at the mommy. And on this day in 2017, the NFL suspends Dallas Cowboys running back. Ezekiel Elliott six games after a year-long NFL investigation in his divest... Guaranteed during a Monday night football game that Jerry appeared on that he would not be suspended. We should go back and find that. It was

an incredible moment. And on this date, August 11th in Dumb Zone history. Let's see. Back in In 2021, this was the day either after the episode, we were just obsessed with Jerry salting as McGrittle. Doesn't need it, really.

I'm trying to eliminate sodium and get my blood pressure down. I'm like 50, he's 90, and he's like, whatever. Yeah, you don't stand the chance. And the amount he drinks, that's the key to life. The key life is not caring. Yeah. It's that. You also have to have, like, rich people.

Like, they're just shooting them up with all the fluids you need. Well, I'm going to Game Day Men's Health. That's a good start. Yeah. But you said something during this that kind of stuck with us for a few weeks, Jake, because you said you liked where salt is headed. Big time. Big time.

I stand by that. What year? 2021? 201. So it's been four years. Himalayan pink has come a long way. They got a lot of different. types of salt out there, man.

You can put them on anything you want. Matt knows what I'm talking about. He's a grilling guy. Yeah, they got big flaky salt. Big types. Coarse. Fucking iodized. This is not your grandpa's salt.

No. But I knew what you were saying, and I was with you. It's just funny. You liked where salt is it. Dude, look around. Look at mayonnaise. That's come a long way. I'm going to be throwing that mayonnaise away.

I'll give you some. new mayonnaise. Don't promise. Don't promise me. Go ahead. Threaten you with a good time. Then the next year, Jake says that he can't be snuck up on. You still hold to that?

Yeah. And that you can't be stabbed to death by a female. No chance. Think about it. Think it through. No chance. What if she's set you up by asking if you're into a pegging and you're like, yeah, and then all of a sudden then she can stab you from bed there.

You found a weakness. You stress tested. system and yeah and then um on this day in 2022 people were trying to cancel olivia newton john for the greece song apparently rape culture was having a moment god what year 22 big time yeah that makes sense so i was reading about this and i can't cancel her she's lovely who is she's dead she's sandy in uh greece never seen it and jake i i want you to start on this list It's the why Hillary lost list. And here's a paragraph from an article about rape culture.

And this is, add this to the list. The author says, I understand it's a movie. It was made in the 70s. We're already in big trouble. And we weren't having such loud and important conversations about consent. But rewatching it feels less like a trip down memory lane, more of a reminder that so much of our aging pop culture references just reinforce rape culture. Oh, it was a movie made in the 70s, but the movie's about like the 50s or something, right?

Yeah. I think I know, I can't remember which part of the song, but yeah, I mean, it is a... Did she put up a fight? Oh, okay. That worse than you were going to try to defend? No. No.

The songs are about forcing women to have sex. Yeah. So that's bad? No, hold on, though. To be honest, that's the thing. think as we get to this like gray fuzzy it's just like with what is prostitution it's it's the songs of the 50s that are about oh my god that 14 year old looks great yeah i wish she was a little older because i think i might get in trouble if i go after that so you know i'll just wait a

couple of years and then we can have at it i don't know that there was a way to every song in the 1950s we did what we did we overcorrected but i don't know if there was another way it just is the way that it happened and then finally we called one of your daughters because you had just learned what Ligma meant. Did you ask them to Ligma? I do not think I would have asked them that now. Okay. Well, that's good.

I'm glad we have these notes. But did they know? They knew. Yeah, of course. You're like, because you're, hey, do you know what Ligma means? And she's, yeah. And I think she tried to give us some other terms that were going around. but they were just shocked

that you were asking them that or she was. All right, other birthdays and we're not doing Henry? We'll do it tomorrow. Save it. Marvin Harrison Jr. is 23. He's also on my list of

you are acceptable to call yourself something junior. Like if you're Blake Jones Jr., I'm going to be like, what are you doing? You've got to have a senior who's famous, and then you can be a junior. Ken Griffey Jr., that's fine. What about Sam,

William Sr. Craig Elo is 64. Dan. Anna Gunn is 57. She's great. Skyler in Breaking Bad. She's a root and I hate her. Joe Rogan is 58.

It's just that... No, no, no. It's that the show achieved the job, which is to make people like him hate Skyler. And that's exactly what they were trying to do. People like me? Yeah, people who are like, God, I can't stand women talking. Like they made her that character

You're the one who won't watch the morning show with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon Let him sell meth What's a big deal? I know He's trying to help his family You not see what he's trying to do for you? It was made for Dan Rage Bays

And the rest of the nation Joe Rogan is 58 Remember when he was like the fear fact What a crazy career he's had You know Definitely but like I always like to stand-up his most recent one i i feel like he mailed in but i thought he was a funny comic way

This is Tommy, Tommy, Lauren, is 33. Clayton's former coworker. That's right. But I think she was ousted because then she said something like, maybe women should have abortions.

They're like, ah, you're fired, right? Is it about abortion? Yeah. I think I'll speak for him now. I'm not because I didn't even hear this from him. I think she was also a bit much to work with from what I hear. Yeah, well, I found out this morning she is married to Harrison Butker or something. Former Ranger, J.P.

Arison Nia. Yeah, from the rays and stuff, yeah. Did you know that? I did know that. All right. Also, man, from the boy women have it harder, there's no way that a man could undergo the transformation to their face that that woman. and did, and not be constantly mocked for it. Tommy?

Dude, she's like a straight-up... No, but you see pictures of her when she's like in college. It is, you know, she's not ending up on TV. She looks like a completely different person. Really? Yeah. Sorry to break it to you, bro. All right, now our dumb zone birthday today, Matt Grimm, is called for the ball.

To me that's here Oh okay And that was today in history I seriously if we could book somebody from that zoo And find the logic behind Why they had to break the news ever to that gorilla doesn't have cable doesn't have any way of knowing that robin williams is not still making funny movies hey uh your favorite actor killed himself yeah um and cocoa sad

uh so matt grim can give us some closing remarks real quick here uh brought to us by fairlease dot org uh that is where you can lease a vehicle like Travis did at community mechanical he leased him for his whole his whole company. They all drive Fair lease vehicles. In fact,

they're wrapped with a dumb zone wrap. If you ever see one of those in the wild, take a picture and then send it to us and we'll just be like, we'll just nod at it. We're not going to, there's no contest or anything.

Anyway. There is a contest for who's first to get to Fairlease.org. Well, yeah, yeah. After they hear this spot. The picture of Travis's fleet. Click, request a quote, and then select a dumb lease.

zone. Why is this guy going on? It says, how did you hear about us? You're leasing companies probably garbage. This one's not. Right. Yes. That's the message.

Yes. So here's MacGram. Here's MacGram. You have any thoughts? This is your first time. Behind the green, behind the wire. Behind the blue curtain here. The tent.

I feel like it was a semi-emotional moment. And I felt like the minor league manager. that calls a guy in and says you're getting called up to the bigs tonight. When I handed you the credential with your name on it and the Dallas Cowboys colors on there and everything. I had a little tear in my eye. Did you feel like this is a big, this is a cool deal? This is the big time.

I'm the fifth beetle now. And here you are. Is it all you expected? Well, we haven't seen practice or anything yet. No, but, you know, it's pretty cool. Just seeing the press conferences, saw DAC doing a little workout on the field. That's cool. just kind of cool, you know.

It's not here practicing. Like what have you, is there anything that you saw? Because I always wonder, all right, people that have listened to us for years or whatever, how much do you have to be descriptive of where we are? I think this is, I think you guys have been pretty descriptive. Then again, I listened to the ticket for years, you know, decades as well. And I was here last year on the other side of the fence. But just seeing it, you know, you guys have been pretty descriptive.

This tent is exactly like I imagined it. I thought there would be more tents, but there are tents on the tennis courts. Yeah, there's like five. There's five of them. Media tents. I just pictured more. And then there's a giant. There's a giant tent for the riders.

Oh, yeah, for the riders. But then there's a giant tent covering the weights and all that kind of stuff where the cowboys work out. Yeah. It's kind of incredible. Can you imagine the cost of traveling out here compared to if they stayed in Frisco? Yeah. It's millions of nine. And I can promise you that they've written it down and said, how much money does this make us?

And it's 5x that. Just as far as the marketing? I think the marketing. And you know what? Maybe it's not purely a business decision. Maybe it's enough of where the cost is a push. You know, and they're like, well, it's no different. You know what I mean?

They're not making money. But people come out here. People pay to come out here. I bet it's 50-50 fans, Rams Cowboys, 50-50 out here. Oh, yeah. I mean, you talk, maybe now, but 10, 15 years ago, it was still 75% Cowboys. Right. Then the Rams had to win a Super Bowl to even close the gap.

But what happens this year, buddy? What happens this year? What does happen this year? Matt, your prediction? Cowboys record prediction. I don't know. I'm not trying to be insulting here, but I don't see anything better than 7-10 based on schedule. This is insane

And I'm not Is how you want to end the show? I'm not hating I'm just I'm seeing what I see But you get Matt Grimm You get the straight dope They haven't done
