Now, here's today's program. The way to shop for your next vehicle is at Fairlease. Now, where is Fairlease? It's on the worldwide web.

Fairlease. Everywhere.org. That's a dot org because they are backed by the credit union of Texas. That's one of the many things, really, that makes them unique. No big bank for you to have to go beg and explain your whole history to. Fairlees will work with you. They've helped out a ton of listeners, a ton of the commercial game, specifically on that side of things. They can find you any vehicle you want.

That does help a lot in the commercial game. Box trucks, I've heard them talk of ordering for people custom stuff. But maybe you want to get a gift for somebody and have it delivered to them. They'll do that. Fairlease.org. There's a phone number for them as well. It is 972-705-4815. 972-705-4815.

Connor or Nick are dumbzone specialist. It's fairlease.org. Fairlease, when you don't know what to do about a car, because car stuff is hard. But not with Fair Lease. You don't need a dealership, baby. Hello, friends. We're in California. How about that?

How about that? We are the Dumson. I'm Danmeton. I'm Jake Kip. I'm Blake Jones. I get a little more me in my ears. Just a little more me. I think I might need the same.

But we're getting very close. When Jake talks, we just drop it all together. And then when I talk, you bring it up. That sounds really good, Blake. It's butter. Butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter. Food U.C.K. is out here to compare California fast food to Texas fast food. That's a thing that people will do on the Internet.

Oh, we're on the Internet. No doubt. Love it there. That's where we live. Love it there. It's always hard to say, like, what do you guys do? We do a radio show. Yeah, we do our show, but then.

it's now on the internet. Now that we're not in court anymore, we do a radio show. Dan had a little parking trouble, and the guy asked, well, what outlet are you with? And Dan just laughed. You hear me stammer? He goes, uh... I went with No Puppet Productions first, and then I thought, well, that's not really... I heard.

Regal. You need to say Fox 4. I'm with Fox 4 Plus, bro. Now that runs you into the... Channel 7 in Austin. Sully their name, if something goes wrong, right? You want to keep our man downtown clear of things. Yeah.

No puppet productions is no less serious than any of the other, hey, first down media or, you know, play action productions. Right, that's what we need. We should have done that. No. No, it sounds equally silly. I had something. But less funny. What'd you have?

No, something similar to that. somebody owns a first down media or something like that. Well off, okay, it's well-off media. Yeah, that's Dion Sanders. Yeah, I got this story about Colorado. Let me tell you something, buddy. They're kicking people out of practice for covering them, but then well-off, somehow well-off media gets full run of whatever they want to do.

I saw well-off media put on and record a concert by the rapper Riffraff in Dallas one time. Of course, Dion Sanders Jr. was on stage with Riff Raff, while Riff Raff performed one of his hits, Dion Sandals. Nice. It was incredible. Half of SMU's football team was on stage. Riff Raff was up. So I've known well-off creative for O-V many years.

So we got here yesterday. We have tales from our trip thus far. We have added to the Raj. Oh, no way, dude. What? Uh-uh. Let's workshop something else, but. We have an entourage.

We have our... No, because Mirage is a more commonly used word. No, Raj. I know, but you're Raj. But we have added to the roster? Yes, of course, you know Matt Grimm. He's an all-time quarterback, right, for both teams. For sure.

He's always there. Do you like the term roadie? We're in Oklahoma. Well, he didn't jump at it. We're in Oklahoma. Matt Grimswood. It just turned out somehow every road trip we go on, there's Matt Grimm. He's just there.

Steady hand. Yeah. This year we added TC to the trip. T.C. Fleming. We all know T.C. We all love T.C. did we have a TC Mike that he can grab? Does he have to take some close-ups of Jake?

I suppose he loves Jake. There are... Let me get it black and white. This is not exactly a unique personality trait, but I've known and loved TC for a long time, and you're entering this part of the calendar where he has that special sparkle about him even more. Football TC is...

I feel like we're even in the world of having... and like everyone has a Trump impression. It's interesting because I've always thought, you know, just before June, T.C. There's a guy that knows he's going to be on a jet ski pretty soon, like every day. He was in the water yesterday. The one month where you can swim and watch football. He's just, he's. Yes, we got here to our Airbnb, and I think within an hour.

Let's give a round of applause for Dan on the Airbnb, everybody. Oh, my God. Really? That's your work? It's so good. I know it matters to you, so I'm going to make sure you know. Oh, okay, no. Because I was driving.

It's mostly great. I was driving around with Blake yesterday, and I got home, and I felt like ass. I'm like, God, I messed up. Sorry about him, ma'am. I had the word, I said the word ass. Yeah, that's why you apologize. I'm working on something with her. Okay.

She's 80. Hey, it's camp. Anyways. But, yeah, so I got back for my little, you know, shopping trip with Blake. night and I went to Matt Grimm. I'm like, dude, I'm sorry. I usually get you a better room than this. He's like, it's great.

I love it. And I'm like, just apologizing to everybody. And then I'm like, well, Matt, he's just a positive guy. He's always, you know, like, I don't know. These guys are probably pissed about the. I don't know what to tell you, man. The internet could be faster. I would like to, like you, know the capabilities of the internet technology that we spent.

Probably at this point, you and I'd say it's about a million a year, maybe two. I think it is. I don't know how we don't juice our own internet. But outside of that. Our internet? Yeah, like we have some thing. Ooh, I'm not on internet. Right?

Yeah, we juice it up at home. But my point is, overall, I think it's a... I texted it to you. It's a comfy, nice home, functional, and it is literal steps from the beach. And not just like, hey, let's hop around on some rocks and see if you can get your feet in there. It's a picturesque cove. There's mountains nearby. Buddy.

I can't believe it. I just like my homes to have cold air blowing in it. I guess I'm weird like that. Open the windows. It's not the same. I would live in 95 to be that close to the beach. Well, good news is it's 75, so you get a fan. Yeah, with all six of us in the house, you get to experience 95 at night.

It's great. It was warm last night. The Airbnb is amazing. You know, we didn't have enough stuff open. I woke up this morning and realized, like, you just have to be okay with the idea that if something happens, Matt Grimm's on that wall. Because we're exposed. Stuff open. Windows.

You have to basically leave that window because I slept in the front room. Yeah, I was just, I closed that late last night, to me late, because I just was worrying about bugs. And then T.C. was claiming there's no bugs in California. you. Wait, before we move on, I want to get to TC's thoughts on being here because he's listened to us be here for decades. And now he gets to actually see what we've been talking about. But the reason we're here, the reason TC is here this year is because of our title sponsor, Plum Quick. Can we all hear it for Plum Quick? You want to crap all over Plum Quick, too? Is there one thing you're going to be positive about today? We'll be positive about Plum Quick.

I think we made it like three months into this sponsorship before anyone did like toilet talk in the in the ad. I think that says something about us. Anyway, yeah, they're great. People have already, he said a ton of people have already signed up for their home membership. So it's $199 a year where you get an annual whole home plumbing inspection. You can check the fixtures and the shutoffs and the toilets and the leaks and the water pressure. That's a big thing where I live. water pressure sucks.

But Plum Quick can help you with that. They'll flush your standard tank water heater annually. You know, they can install those tankless water heaters. They could do it all. They can do it all. You're like, hey, what is PlumQuick not able to do? I don't know. Why don't you call 469-331-36-9.

Probably roofs, hardwood floors, but in the plumbing space. Yeah, in the plumbing space is kind of what I was saying. Plumquick Company.com. that Plumquick home membership. Get you 10% off repairs up to 500 bucks and priority scheduling. They are the reason we're out here at camp. Plumquick Company.com. 469.

369. 331-3669. All right. So, yeah, we're in the house less than an hour, and T.C. walks back up from the beach. I've never seen the speed, the swimming speed. And then Clayton was. talking about maybe we should do some kind of a daily like this is a new thing that no one's ever done before but a daily like will video tc getting out of the ocean like it was a plunge you know i would love that and uh so i assumed since clayton had that great idea he went out and videoed tc

and tc's like no i didn't tell him but i was like he just does it for the love of the game yeah just had to get into the ocean it wasn't to look at tc or look at me he doesn't need to show the world hey look look at I'm in the other. He just did it. Then he came back and look at how happy he is. Yeah. I, uh,

you've seen this guy this happy? I've, I've probably, this is probably double digit ocean trips with me and Topcat. And I know that if he gets there and there, he has his kid with him, he's going to go straight to the ocean. So I was pretty sure without it,

he would almost certainly. Kids got two parents. It'll be fun. I look back over the seat. Megan's struggling with a wheelbarrow. tipped over. Oh, and he's already in the water. Spokes are breaking kids.

He's not setting up. He's doing backstrokes on the sandbar, like the one you have to swim to. He's... It's a big group. I'm sure someone else is better attention to me. He takes a village, you know? The man loves the water. Really does.

I mean, one of my favorite things about him is... And you, this goes for anyone, right? Just he'll surprise you. Like I was telling my wife about who's coming on the trip, and she's like, oh, solid ad. Like he's down. He's going to be down for whatever in a good boot. He's usually not complaining.

She evaluated it. Yeah. I mean, because we spent a lot of time together, and she knows who. Okay. Yeah. She knows he'll do bits. That's wonderful. And it's football season.

And, yeah. I told her whenever I got out here today, I was like, yeah, T.C. I hadn't been here before. It's a big deal. And I kind of showed to the field. And she goes, you all got boners. I was like, what's that? Yeah.

Yeah. Small. What's wrong with that? Half chub. Yeah, we don't. Just keep it to ourselves. Yeah, we have football boners. Yeah, what's it to you?

Football is happening, man. It's got to be happening right out there. Okay, so I do want to know, though, like, because you guys went to the media party last night. I couldn't let my integrity be compromised as a reporter. It's great. Great sushi, though. I need to watch the games and not be swayed by somebody who had bought me sushi. I couldn't believe that a single person there

Like four games in if they're two and two They're going to be saying that Owner needs to fire the GM It's a very strange He's done for us I know I'm never going to say a bad word about the man again In the rest of my life

Okay so yeah You've you've listened to us Do this for like literally decades Well sometimes I don't know maybe we become a bit lazy Over the years on describing the setup You know because we assume all people have been listening to us, but, you know, we are, we're at Cowboys Training Camp,

which is at a hotel. This hotel has like, what do we say, six, eight tennis courts behind it, and they commandeer the tennis courts and put on one tennis court, there's where they do the press conferences. They lay blue carpet down and put all the sponsor stuff up. Adjacent to that is another tennis court where they put. but us, they put a bunch of tents with different media outlets in it. Another tennis court is, or two tennis courts, I think, houses the wait rooms.

We're not allowed over there. No. There's like a family tennis court with a tents where you can go in and get a bunch. We have noticed over the years that it used to be you would sit here at the media tennis court and be able to see over the practice field. But they keep, every year they add a little something else where they're like, how could we make more money? And then they add this for VIP fans or VIP.

And yeah, and now there's a full bar in there and it's like a party center. So that used to not be there? Oh, yeah. Oh, that would have been amazing. Yeah. No, I mean, like Bill Parcell. That's this is where like Corby threw a ball to Bill Parcells from here. Yeah.

Think about sitting, you have to be a little. You can watch practice. Think about sitting right here and seeing Des right there like doing, I mean, just losing his mind. It'd be incredible. This picks up, I think, a lot of sound, too. Like the... Okay. Oh, sorry.

Sorry. But yeah. I mean, no, this is actually being in this booth, we can actually see through that little hallway. But, all right. Just... You're at camp. You've heard us talking for years. You've heard us talk about Spencer McKenzie's.

I don't think you did that yet. I'll be anxious to hear that review, but just initial thoughts. Yeah, walking in was really hard to describe feeling. It's like you're saying. I've been hearing about it for 20 years, and now it's actually matching up against something I'm seeing. Like, I thought it would be a lot smaller. It's a lot bigger and, like, organized that just...

Whatever you're talking about set up on tennis courts and then just an open field near a hotel, I thought it would be a lot more informal, but they... It feels like they're building, like... I don't know, like a military base in Iraq. Yeah, that's a great way to describe it, I think. Matt Grebs pin it on.

Yeah, yeah. But all I can say is I think like most things in my life, I think I straddled the line of this, because I do think I saw what it looked like a little bit more. And, you know, I went when it was in Wichita Falls when I was a kid, and it was awful. It was just a field. It was just the field.

But again, it's year after year. I don't know if it's Jerry or just everybody around him or, you know, collective, but every year they do a little something more. Like this is definitely a compound now. It's very closed in. The entrance just makes it feel like a really big deal. And like when you see on Hard Knocks or whatever, Jerry's salting the McGrittle, it's in an office that's just like a suite in one of these relatively mid-ass hotel rooms.

Yeah. Sweet makes it sound a lot nicer. Yeah, I get it's whatever they have that's not just a bedroom. Like you just go in there and talk to Rich Dowrymple, and he would just be in a, like, whatever this is. It does have air conditioning, Blake. It's not a nice. What do I have to pay to stuff this out right now?

Oh, it's just for having fun. We're having fun. And you know what? That porta potty. His hair looks kind of like he was. The porta potty had air conditioning. That's what I'm saying in our house, doesn't. What do you slept there?

I'm the bad guy. Yeah. But yeah, the hotel, it's like not special, but it has to be just the proximity to the field and the lure around it. I was just thinking about like Brandon's first camp, whenever he was recently working at GM and then had gotten to do like a little bit of minor league football. Just the feeling of checking in and like the first time he puts his bag down the room as a member of the Cowboys. Yeah. And just all around everywhere else in the hall. It's other cowboys.

Yeah. It's a very straight. It's still, it's not Junction Boys, but it's still cool to me that they go away and they live in conditions that are magnitudes lower than what their regular life is like. Like it wouldn't be that bad for us, but everything's relative, you know? Yeah. So there is still some level of them doing the like, this kind of sucks. Those teams that just do. Do it at their facility.

I don't think any of them are going to make the playoffs. I think that... Yes. I agree with that. So when you walk into camp, you have to park first, and I think that's where they... Well, they make their money a lot of ways, but not entrance to camp.

You don't have to pay to get into camp. Oh, really? I understand, yeah. It's free. Well, then why were they hassling us so bad? Because it was closed at that time. Okay. It's free to get into camp, but you got to pay for parking.

And then when you walk in, you need, it's like a carnival where all the games, when you walk down that row of tents, you can play all the games. But instead of games, it's just different merch at every tent. And so now you are inundated with the possibility of spending some cowboys money to the cowboys. Like, you know what, I might need a shirt. I got to wear a shirt. I'm at camp. I'm going to get a camp shirt, and then I'll go into camp.

It's not. You have to walk through there to get to the stands. It's not the Masters. And man, there's a lot, the music, you can't hear. Oh, yeah. And it is like a fair. I mean, you know when you know you're at a fair, when there's Funnel Cake, and there is. They have Funnel Cake, soft serve, and it's not the Masters, but, because I'm sure you can get it online.

But they charge you a training camp shirt markup of the highest order. Oh, yeah, that's a $40 T-shirt. I would buy him for. The little kid that doesn't care. No, what's our old guy's name at the parking garage? Sports or sports? Teams and teams. Every year he just said, going to training camp?

And he'd be like, could you get me a training camp shirt? Yeah, that's cool. All right. You're a good dude. They noticed have a baby nursing station. I'm going to guess that was not here in the first year that you went to camp. Right, yeah, no. Then just jugs were flying out all over the place,

and they're like, yeah, we've got to cover those. up. I'm sure it's not zero, but how many babies are here? It's not zero. You'll see. Yeah. So that's, okay, if there's anything that I can predict, it will... A lot of people that like family are here. Really messier... According to Reggie White.

Perma, like me, Perma-Gummy-thought-ed mind-up is when you're just going to hear people for hours on in yelling players' names. Will they acknowledge them? No. Maybe once out of every thousand times, but there's just human beings yelling. and like, you know. I can't. DeMarvian, DeMarvian, Agent Z. Do you know how hoarse I got yelling at Joe Carter? When I was a boy like I can't.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, oh, okay, you're just talking about the 35-year-old guy. Yeah, or, yeah. Or girl screaming. Just to be acknowledged. Yeah. Whenever I was at the Hall of Fame, and there was the procession of Hall of Famers like walking in front of us,

That was the move of the guys in front of me is to just yell first name. I'm like, what? Why are we doing any of this? What do you get out of that? He looks up and like nods. Strange. How'd you like?

So the media party was at Nobu, which is very, very high-toned. Like you'll see- Kanye lyric. Is it, you'll see celebrities in there. I can't remember. Didn't we see one of the Kardashians once in there? Yeah.

Or Rob Dissick, or Scott Dissick, sorry. Many such cases on the... It's on the beach. It's right on the beach. It's the place where they will... Basically, they hand you a little piece of rice, and you go over and reach out over the water, and then a fish jumps on it and lands on the rice, and then you eat it.

Right. That's how fresh it is. And it's wonderful. But it's also like an hour and a half drive, and I've done it many times, and I didn't want to do. Hour at the most. How on it? I'm on Texas Times.

Are you skipping that? It wasn't late. Well, it didn't sound like Jake had a great time looking at the text. I'm in a unique situation. But both of you need to, you went 0 for two on doing a good job on the meaty dinner, and both of you need to do some reflection. I made the trip so that I could be with the dogs, hang out, and then I got there, and it was like, you know,

I really don't want to be with these guys. Last time I went to every single time I've been to this, I've been pretty hammered. and with a bunch of other people who were pretty hammered. Okay. And we were... It's a different feeling. We would roll in deep. I mean, that, but also, like, I can go...

It was, I don't know how to explain this to you, and I appreciate the invite. Like, they give a shit. I'm like, but I just... There was way fewer people there, and a much higher percentage of them worked for the team. So, like, when you walk in, there's no... That's where networking happens, man.

You could be working for the team. I didn't feel like it was, you know, the guys from the ticket weren't there. I got to meet some pretty cool people. The guys from the fan weren't there. When I first walked in, like, Machota wasn't even there. It was just, you know, Sods not there. There's three or four riders that I know, and then there's all these people who work for the team. What about the D210 sports people?

Apparently so. They were there? Did you meet them? No. Oh, man, I would have definitely talked to them. I'm not going to interrupt conversations to say hello, but they were there. Feels like there's a non-zero chance at some point. and say goodbye, you say you've been credentialed.

And Machota was there. You just did such a Grandpa Simpson that I don't think, you're the first person that looked at you, you were like, all right, I'm leaving now. Yeah, that might have happened. I just, I, it didn't feel right. Did you go get some steps? What'd you do? Lots of steps.

Got a, there's a pizza place across the street. I got a 12-inch sausage and pepperoni pizza. How am I being yelled at for ignoring the greatest? And a bottle of water for $50. And I'm the best. bad guy. I'm telling you, both of you. I don't care. You seem to be having a reaction. I was super happy. And then we, yeah, I read, and then they got done like two hours later, and then we went home. I don't know. I just didn't feel part of it was what you were saying. And not like

legitimately, like, objectivity. It just felt weird. Like, I felt like, I'm literally standing, you're five feet from, like, Jean and Charlotte and the other grandkids sitting on the couch, Yeah. And I'm like, there's no buffer in between me and them. There's no, there used to be a bunch of people around. That's where you, and so I was like, kind of slide up next to? No, this is not really, dude. Don't.

Start spitting game. You're Jake. I feel like when I looked over, she looked over and it was like, phew. We all could tell. Firewood. There was a vibe. I got to get out of here.

There is a special lady. But, uh. Like, because you don't want to be in a scandal like that. Not like, not like, but it's, you want to happen right. You know? It just, uh, it's don't want to live that job. John Bon Jovi life. It wasn't the vibe for me.

That's all good. I'm also, you know, low-key back of the building here, alcoholic. And it's just a straight-up open bar. They're offering it to you, do? Yeah, yeah. No, they're almost mad if you don't drink. You're on the beach, and it's like, this just feels like. I've always envied a lap, champ.

I've always envied the alcoholic because at least you could, that's why you're not, because I get the, come on, one shot. And I can't say, well, no, because I'm an alcoholic. No, because I'm not like. I won't lie. You could get there if you wanted to. But his is just because he's gay. Yeah.

Yeah, no, but if he wanted to, like... And that's what turns people who alcohol. I'd say five years of part drinking. He's, like, drank beer for a long time. And now he's like... I was kidding. I could not care less about. The big challenge you two are up against is that you don't have a fraction of the tact and social ability of the king of the party, Blake Jones.

That's the truth. A friend of every single person there? Was he a little fluttering butterfly? It was amazing. I told them when I walked in, I'm no longer with the dumb zone. I'm with Compass Media, so keep your distance. He truly is.

Boy, I can use that, Compass Media. No, you can't. I've helped you carry some stuff before, so. You can't. You cannot. He's earned it. We listened to him to do phone calls in the back of the car.

Yep. The highlight of the night for me was introducing TC to Steve Burline. Yeah, I saw Berline. A Burline was there. He was there. With his lady. Talked about the Irish.

Oh, you met. Okay, how, what are age? What are we? He's told us that he chose She's younger. Yeah, but like not in a way that's scandalous at all. No, no, no. You wouldn't read his wedding on weddings on this day.

Not even close. Okay. No, yeah, we had a nice exchange. If you're Steve Burline's age, that's exactly... Yeah, he nailed it. Okay, does he recognize you by sight? Yes. Because he doesn't really recognize Ted, right?

No. Okay. I think we had Ted Emmerich. his play-by-play partner on a stream with him, and he never really acknowledged that. There was a video, but it's not looking good for Ted. Right. Yeah, but he doesn't share the car rides that Steve and I do.

No, he had the opportunity. He turned it down. Yeah. They asked Ted if he would take up Steve Berlin. He said, share contact Blake Jones. Yeah, that was part of his job description, whatever Steve was introducing Blake to his wife. Yeah, it was down to two camps.

It's the other guy who lived in Fort Worth and couldn't really make the trip. He said, is the guy who drives me, my producer? Yeah. I think he said producer first. But yeah, it's part of the package. Well, the playmaker showed up. You probably saw that in the text. I did.

Now, did that get you back in the room or no? No. Okay, you're across the street. Yeah, I was chilling, man. Halfway through a decision. I was halfway. He looked great. Jake had to run across the highway to get to us.

And the first thing we said was like, dude, Michael Irvin is in there. Your idol, your leader. He's like, nah. And I said, well, show me your email address. Yeah. It's after him. Do you think that's rare? Sure, I just want to email address specifically.

It was at the 8,000th email that Michael Irvin has seen that says 88. I think it's the only time he would have been told that. Yeah. People do. I mean, people assume it's my birthday. And I'm like, no, thanks. I'm actually a bit older. But that and people for a while thought,

it was like a piano thing and maybe then for a while a Nazi thing. Yeah. In any case, no, I... Who would look at you and say, yeah, piano? I felt... The other thing... I felt like you did, except I got in the door. And at that point, it was like, yep, nope.

I just... I don't know. I don't want to run into Brad Shammon's job. And to complain about the drive... And how are you skating on that? Because something's going to end up coming to a head here. Because I don't care. We love Blake, folks.

It's the best drive on Earth. That part's pretty sweet. Down the PCH? Like, I would sign up for, like, if you guys had told me, hey, it's your first year, they're not going to let you in. Do you want to just go with us in the car and sit in the pizza restaurant across the street? I would have said, absolutely. Yeah, you've been on that drive before, right? Yeah.

You and George have been here playing times. We had a very special afternoon and evening, Jordan and I did on the PCH. I was just disappointed you didn't want to hang out with us, Jake. I hung out in the car. I hung out on the way down and on the way back up. On the way back, you were watching the Rangers the whole time. Look, we're in the thick of a race. We are.

Are we? I don't know. Yes. We are. The Clayton and Matt just hammering appetizers, watching the playmaker make his rounds. Who ain't the most? Matt's got his hand up. For sure, Macrim?

I think I was the only one to go back three times, though. I had three plays. Oh, Clayton went three times. We did some damage. Okay, good. I know, I count on you to be adding that up in your head. Yeah. Just to now, you know, and then what you spend later in the week.

Irvin was wearing a blue silk suit. Yeah, top and bottom. That's awesome. That's wonderful. He walked in with a bag that had at least two phones in it. It was everything you could want. Yeah. Speaking of looking good, T.C. cleans up quite nicely, doesn't it?

He looked hot. Was that another Tommy Bahama? It's the vibe of it, though. It's in the milieu. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but not. I don't know. He had long pants.

He did. I didn't know he owned a pair of long pants. I saw him once at his wedding. I would say the same for Clayton. I didn't know Clayton had pants. I didn't know Grimm had pants. When I walked out, I opened my eyes. It was like three for three.

There's a 30-minute stretch where T.C. was in the ocean, and then came back and dressed like that. I feel like that was the best 30 minutes to an hour of his life. Yeah. California living. And he had that anticipation of the sushi. And who he might see. We did miss Al Michaels.

We left before Al Michaels got there. Al Michaels came? Was Troy there? Oh, man. No Troy. I thought I saw a picture of Troy. Does Al like live down the street? He does.

He lives at Brentwood. So he just comes down for dinner. Yeah. That's cool. You know he's not eating vegetables. I do know he loves sushi because The one time I covered a Cowboys Raiders game at the old Coliseum, it's a very small press box. So Al and Chris were just there in like a booth next to you, and they had their own plate of sushi with a big label on top saying only for Alan Chris, do not touch.

Awesome. That is great. As a guy who has many times had a – this salmon is for him. I like that. Hold on. I got to do something real quick. Okay, well, while Dan does that, we'll take a look at the Cowboys 2 Deep. It looks like they're going with the kind of a three. What I wanted to do was just talk about Parlay Collective. Oh, you have a hat change.

That's right. Okay. One of our other. Now, there's a bee that could actually sting me, and that should concern me. And look how I'm just kind of letting it happen. No, I hope it lays eggs in your blood. I'm just trying to teach you how that's an actual bee, not a mud, I hope it calls all of its friends, and I hope it comes over.

If it lands on your eye and you don't flinch, then we'll give it to you. And a big part of the reason we're out here for Dan to get stung is our friends at Parlay Collective. Parlay Collective.com, our good friend, Audrey, it's a marketing. Excuse me, take two. Marketing agency. They work with a lot of different brands. They work with our friends at Fairlease, and if you need to get your word out, They can help you do that.

And they work with us. They work with us. Yeah, we use them. We've been paying them for years. And here's another reason you might want to contact the Parlay Collective.com. Yeah, they help us with sales decks and whatnot. Take a look at this, boys. This is the Parlay Collective.

That's right there. You want to contact them? Guys like girls, right? This is them. You know, they set you. They sent you the photo, so I don't, you know, at some point you bought your tickets. What do you mean? It's like, you think this is, they just hand me a secret photo of the.

No. Or like, hey, I took this. I, I, and I, uh, I took this and nobody knew. No, it's, it's public. No, for the radio. A lot of nice looking ladies. Just in case you wanted to know, there's nice looking ladies there. I'm just reporting what I see.

I'm reporting. I can see the practice field, and I'm reporting that Parlay Collective... They're the ones that will help you manage execution across websites. That's right, Parlaycollective.com. I have a couple thoughts on arrival, trip, et cetera. We have a contagion loose on the trip. It's Dan learning about a new app. All right, I was thinking about it this morning because I went to Bonds to get sandwich.

you were and I was like can it scan my sandwich and I'm glad it couldn't yeah yeah because I think I put a lot of calories on that so what's the app I love it and I'm just walking around with Blake so I'd go find something from the shelf run over to Blake scan it he'd scan it and he he'd shake his head he goes no 30 and then I'd put it back I wouldn't buy it yuka yu k a is the app that's uh described as scans foods and cosmetic barcodes to rate their health impact from zero to 100. Nutritional quality additives is a big one. Aditives is the big one.

It's the big one. You can look at the nutrition label and make your own decision for that, but you don't know what red 40 is. Right. It's kind of surprised at the sardines. I wasn't. You got that? You have to take the image? We don't need it.

Oh, yeah. It's a one to 100. Yeah, and it scored a 69. I thought it would be, I just thought it would have been 90s. I thought about it in a 99. I think it's the sodium. And they've got to preserve it or something. But whatever, that's really good.

The devil of this app is that you'll have a protein bar or something that is pretty good for you. And it's like, no, shit. Well, then that in turn makes it not good for you. Yeah. How about go buy a piece of fruit instead? Isn't that what it's telling you? I think, and possibly if you could also get like a steak with it. The protein bar should not taste like confetti.

John and Mark Falawell to this. I agree. You can turn it up too high, but there's some level of, like, George Dijon being like, why are you even jogging when you could spread? Waste of time. Well, he'd yell at me for eating a banana.

Yeah, you're just snickers. He'd say that's nature snickers. I know. And so that, I think, but it's nature's. If you're eating healthier, you don't need this extra mental stress of playing supermarket sweep

of making yourself feel bad for every item you eat. Because, Sounds like something Tony Romo would say, not Tom Brady. I don't know. I'm going to let you keep lining up with Tom Brady, bud. I think history is bending towards... Something happening? Towards Romo?

I'm a Manning guy. Peyton was a better quarterback than Tom Brady. I'll say it as many times as I have to until I get as many email. That's an email battle I like these days. Brady, though, what are we doing? Brady's got Epstein in his future. Well, I'm not looking at that. I'm just looking at how they eat.

But 100 years ago. We didn't know. That's all creepy, though. Now that's going to look, because that's what I'm saying, is all that, like, robot living stuff is going to seem creepy later. But 100 years ago,

we probably didn't understand how carb, too many carbs is bad for you. We're on the cutting edge. Now we shouldn't be having all these additives. Thank you, Blake. And so I'm trying to help my friend, Dan, and he's throwing this. Didn't you say you got the app from Jake?

Yeah, I did. Jake started this. So he's known about this for a while. and has been good job keeping it from you. No, he got Yuka fatigue because you can't eat anything. Yeah, I quickly shut the app. I said this one's not for me. I had a book called Eat This, Not That,

which is probably the book version of this app, because you would just kind of go check. Oh, man, and then I'd be upset that I'm not allowed to eat tuna sandwiches anymore. Because it's right. It's a, get rid of the book. It's just senseless. But the real problem is that it just makes everything that we were in the grocery. store 30, 40 minutes for what should have been an 8 to 10 minute trip.

Everything just takes so. Dude, you are staring at your watch this whole trip. It is remarkable. What are we doing? We're going to stand here? Let's go stand over there. It's remarkable. For a guy who, quote, quote, doesn't care about anything.

Right. Man, I'm just so laid back. He's just sitting there at the front of the store. I'm laid back and efficient. Pecking at his wrist. I just don't know why we need to just sort of. You know what I think upset him is. Sort of limming around until we run.

Maybe just, what catches our eye over here? Let's walk over here. I think it's because we caused so much gridlock on that aisle. There was a lot of gridlock. Christ, dear. But I met a lot of old ladies that way. Handicap person just trying to get by. These two are conducting an experiment on.

Look, Dan, at 17. Don't get that one. And that was after. We found one breakfast bar that was acceptable to buy. And that was after. And I'll just. But it did take 15 minutes. But I'm going to feel so good eating it.

it today because I know it's somewhat decent. Oh, yeah. I haven't yet scanned the Heath ice cream Klondike bars that we find. Speaking of it. And you know, this is the problem. We got candy for the table, Clayton.

You need. I brought nerds and whatnot. Jake overbys on day one. A little bit. Like, we've seen this on many trips. Those pizzas are never going to be cooked. Like, you buy five pizzas, Klondike bars.

I don't know. I thought they teach you not to shop hungry, right? Yeah. I don't remember if I would. Didn't we go to Spencer McKenzie's right before? Oh. All right. You also are forgetting something.

I'm not alone. And I'm not just not alone with Clayton's here, but T.C.'s here. You feel like adding T.C. will eat a pizza. He'll eat some ice cream, too. I feel like Arizona, we had a lot, a lot of meat left on that bone. We left it all in the fridge. The problem with Jake is so he introduces us to the Yucca app, and now here we are trying to use it, and he's like,

I introduced it to you by telling you, if I told you guys, hey, I learned about a troubling thing in my neighborhood known as the clan. That's not me telling you to join it. I told you guys at the time. Actually, I heard him out. They got some interesting ideas. This app sucks.

I told you guys. This app sucks. We get back to the house, and I realized we didn't get any Yaso bars, which is always a highlight of the trip. So I look at Jacob. I'm like, oh, damn, we forgot to get Yaso bars, because I'd love to share one with you.

He looks at me with disdains, like, I've moved on. I eat the real thing now. I eat real ice cream. Good. Good for you. Okay, dude, I'll go back to my room. You got a room. Just patted me on my head.

Your hot room. I'll go back to the sauna. Yeah, I need ice cream, and now, yeah. Hey, can we talk about our flight a little bit? Sure. That was interesting. Can we mention Benjohns? Benji is our points guy, and we traveled with Benji.

Listener, we've had him on the show before. He's a wizard. He's a wizard with the points, and he can manipulate it and whatever. And apparently because of that, he is a member of, or he's able to get into the Admirals Club at DFW Airport. I thought that was just for admirals. Always this door I've seen, and then, you know. You just walk by it. Well, he's like, yeah, I can get you in the Admirals Club if you show up early enough.

So I got there to get into the, so you walk in this door. And of course, there's a couple of people on the left checking your credentials, making sure you're on the list. I was. Whoa. And they're like, all right, go that way. There's an elevator. So I'm on already. It's just a concourse.

But there's an elevator. It goes up. There's more to the air. airport. I didn't even know. Who knew that? Not me. Never even looked up there, really.

And it opens up into, it's like a whole, like, terminal C worth of space, like, all of the space. It's just all lounge chairs. For real? Yeah. It's lounge chairs. It's multiple coffee bars. It's the best continental breakfast you've ever had. There's multiple of those.

Of course there's yogurt. Of course there, do you want an omelet? Do you want oatmeal? Whatever you want, it's there. How about a nice piece of fruit? How about orange juice? How about whatever? And then, like I said, the most comfortable chairs, more comfortable than my living room, for sure.

I wrote up the elevator with a lady who clearly belonged there and knew I didn't. Smell it on you. You ever with somebody like from money? Yeah. That's kind of how I felt last night. I was like, I don't know that I... And then she had to like tell me, you got to hit that button. Oh, all right.

Oh, they must have changed it since I was here last time. Yeah. Because I got my backpack. But it was unbelievable. Like there's tiny giraffes. There's just opulence. And then they have windows where you can look below at the peep. So now you're looking below at the crowded space where somebody's trying to get the plug to work,

but it doesn't because so many people have used that plug. And then their kids are yelling and screaming. And one of them has to go to the bathroom. And then they have to go pay like $5 for a water at the bookstore. and then I went and grabbed two waters and just threw them in my bag because I'm in the Admirals Club and they just give you water. They're like, ha, ha, ha, water. It covers most of the earth here, just have some.

You get it. And they laugh and they laugh and they give you some yogurt. That yogurt would have been $6 down there. Here, have a yogurt. Take one with you. I couldn't have an imagine Chapie walking out of there. Look at this. With just a whole.

It was insane. It was like, yeah, the room. where you're watching the people, I was thinking it was like, you ever see the last Squid Games where they get to watch the contestants just beat each other? Like, that's what I was.

I was in the Squid Games. I had the mask that I would hold, you know, and it was great. If you can do it. If you can become friends with Benji, I highly recommend it. I missed it. Blake and I missed it.

I got to board with Group 1, though. I know. Oh, he got us Group 1. I've never been on that. Yeah. Like, where is everyone? I know. It takes forever.

Plenty of room in the overhead space. Hold on, Sergeant. Is, uh... Yeah. Group two is our military. Did we get on before military? No, but it's close enough. Didn't get on before the Josh group.

That's the finest I've ever experienced. Yep. Oh, you've gone with your blind friend? Mm-hmm. Boy. That guy's a cheat code for a lot for you, isn't he? It's very nice. We had the

situation where there was a husband and wife who were not set together. Oh yeah, so, okay, as it's all filling out, you're always interested in who's your buddy going to get stuck sitting next to you because we had aisle seats. I get a big guy next to me

and Jake got a nice little female. Not little. She was not... Compared to a guy next to me. Let's do that. Okay, fair enough. Go ahead then. Go ahead with your story because I'm now jealous for about a half hour.

Yeah. Because Jake's got a semi-attract-look, I'm already on the trip. I'm already totally ready. Locked and rocked. Yeah, yeah. So she's next to me and her husband is behind Dan. So they're one row over and back. And I can tell.

Is it going to be okay? We'll be okay. We'll be okay. and they're looking at each other like the whole flight. Like they will not stop looking back, which is weird because I'm right in between them. Which is also weird because they're married. And Dan's right in between them.

We're both not, yeah, they're just staring at each other like, God. And at some point, pretty deep into the flight, I would say halfway or more, maybe halfway. They decided that was the time to ask the guy next to the husband who had an aisle seat behind Dan if he would like to move to the middle seat behind me. With you next year, yeah.

And he said yes. And he was like after some talking. Not a chance. I'm like, I guess, dude. Maybe it was if I could get you to stop talking over me and yelling at your wife, you know? And I mean, I'm only left to conclude that my energy was just so much that that husband was like,

too much Riz. I got to get her out of there. Yeah. I've got to get, I got to relocate her immediately. Does he go to Game Day men's health? I feel like he does. But the other guy did it. It was a Game Day Men's Health warning.

I guess. They can feel it radiating off of you. I guess. And that's where you would go at gameday. Dot Dumbzone.com. Game Day Men's Health, they have a peptide of the month. I can find that for you, but you're doing the peptides, right? Sir Morellan.

Because Matt Grimm and I said it back and forth to each other several times in his driveway the other days. Are you on it? He's been on it. I am now on it. Matt Graham goes to game name itself. Is that right? We're here to add a little muscle.

Tell us about the peptides, because you told me before off the air that that's... Yeah, similar peptides to Jake on the Tessie and some pepies. Yes. The Sir Morellon and the Wolverine stack. I was telling Jake the other day how I feel about it. Just what I used to hear about what steroids was when I was in high school. You know, you juice up and you could, like, work out a bunch and not get sore and work the same body part multiple times a week. That's how I feel.

I'm aging, but that makes me feel like a very young man. It's awesome. What location do you go to, real customer, Matt Grimm? Yeah. I go to North Richland Hills with the director there is Ann, and we have Monica and Brandon there that juice me up every week. They'll take care of you. 12 area locations Gameday.dumzone.com

You're going to sleep better. You're going to be in a better mood. Just generally live a better life. Get yourself healthier. And do it with game day, mince health, gameday.day.dumzone.com. What were we talking about before we talk peptides? The flight.

I guess that was really it. Then you get a wild... That airport rocks. Santa Barbara Airport. Oh, I've never been there before. It's a fantastic experience. Last year was the first time. I didn't do LAX and we did the

John Wayne? Bob Hope International Airport. Bob Hope's a great airport. It was a good airport. But this one was better. It was smaller. Nice. Like we landed at Gate 1 because I'm pretty sure that was one of the very few options.

Hawaii S Airport. So we've got Bob Hope, John Wayne. The, what do you call it? The baggage claim. Was they just opened up a thing? Yeah. They opened up a big door, like a garage door, and then just some guy was tossing them out.

There was no baggage thing. Carousel. It was just a guy tossing your bags out there. Handcrafted. Yeah. Do you think we'll ever have, like, Logan Paul Airport? Like, the celebrity, like, you have these classic, iconic Bob Hope, John Wayne. I'm sure there are others out here.

I mean, Bob Hope and John Wayne were just, like, known by him. by lots and lots of people, so that's why they ended up getting that. Clive Bicular. So maybe. Hey, it's Christy Scales. Our hero. Good to see you, Chris. A co-worker of Blake.

Yeah. That's right. I'll keep an eye on him in Seattle for you. Please do. Yeah. Okay. I think we're getting her on the show next week. Tuesday.

Blake's working on booking her. That's what he was doing last night. He's like, yeah, we've got to have coffee first. Just group to group going around. Just two people working 20 NFL games a year, you know. Got a lot in common. Yep. Want to talk sports?

Sure. All right. Can we do it without this? No. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. What do you make of, did you see any Cowboys-Rams stuff? Of course.

Yeah. Not a lot of actual gameplay, but a lot of coverage and... Yeah, they had their scrimmage. Yeah. the other day, the first scrimmage. Just more of a joint practice, right? But they had refs there. Yeah, but from what I read, and I know that they do these differently in different places at different times,

but they jumped right into just team. They weren't running. I don't think they were running a bunch of individuals and stuff. They just got after it, I believe, just 11 on 11 in offense, defense, and special teams periods. And, you know, you're set up in the red zone or you're set up in the midfield, but they were running, which is better than anything they're going to get in the preseason because none of those guys are going to play in the preseason. That and next Tuesday, I think it is, if that's the day she's on, with the Saints.

That's the most action. The guys who play for the Cowboys will get in camp. Now it's the same, though, like the quarterbacks have a red jersey and stuff. Yeah. You're not allowed to actually tackle Matthew Stafford or anything. But yeah, no, I think that's a good bit. You're right, probably a better bit than preseason games. Although I do think there's got to be a lot of value in preseason games,

kind of just getting everybody else up to speed. Oh, no doubt. Like the coordinators, the calls, the how's... All of it. How's the game presentation working? What are we going to do? How do we get out there? I think there's so much that goes into this.

it really, to me, would suck if they try to make it to where every game is basically the same, regular season, because you will invariably lower the product for the first month or so of the season. Do you think they're going to charge less for those ads? You're going to be watching a shittier product that they eliminate the preseason. Even if the guys who play the big time, I think it would be a bad idea. They would have to at least have something like a mandated version of what the Cowboys are doing with the Rams. and the Saints times two. They would somehow have to, they would, you need more.

Yeah, because the thought, yes, you're referring to then people saying, all right, 20 is a round number. We like round numbers. And eventually we'll get to a 20 game season and just eliminate the three preseason games. We'll add three games and then just have one. But yeah, I also think that would be detrimental. I can see 18. That seems almost like a done deal in people's heads, don't you think? Yeah.

Just 17 just makes it too. And I don't know, you know, there's different cultures across sports. The schedules of hockey and basketball resemble each other closely, but the cultures are pretty different. And so I would think if you're getting to 18, and for sure if you're getting to 20, you need to start thinking about having rest games. or like you need to have like Tyrant Smith would do, we're going to have draft guys to be, you're not going to play 20 games.

I don't like. That's insane to think of doing. Don't you hate, I see those theories that, yes, here's what we're going to do, a 20 game schedule, but each player will have to take a rest game or two rest games. I don't. That would suck.

It would be fun to have to figure out. Two by weeks is one thing. Two by weeks I can see. You're going to have to have that in a matter. matter what. But are you going to have your quarterback is healthy and say, well, no, actually, he needs a rest game. It's tricky.

I didn't know they were already looking at that. No, I mean, I've heard conjecture about that just like that's, here's a possible plan. Here's the schedule and here's how it would lay out. You'd have two mandatory rest game, what do you call it, load management camps? That would be horrible because that's what you criticize about the other leagues. So I know it's just joint practices, but I was thinking about your objection to the signing of Quinn and Williams more because we had an off day in between. And it is very hard. Even if you're like a super dialed film watching football fan, you know, you're not, you don't know what the coach is telling guys.

Like it's very hard to say, is this guy worth this, especially for an interior. defensive lineman. But the numbers that they do keep track of, and I don't know, I don't want to just offer a PFF grade as gospel, especially now going forward. They got bought and sold and stripped. So I don't know that after last season I'll ever really refer their grades again. That's kind of up in the air. but his numbers last year, not just on grades, but on pressures.

I mean, you forget, dude, he had, now, if we're going to count sex, his first game with the Cowboys, he had two sacks, but he had seven pressures. And he had several more games where he had, and he not just grades out, but if you just look at the raw numbers, his pressure numbers filtered for starting tackles from the inside last year. they weren't the best they've ever been, but they were right there with his second best season ever, and far better than his year before with the Jets.

Far, far better. Now, he only had like two sacks, but I feel like if we carry the torch for sacks are kind of misleading, you know, especially for an interior defensive lineman, I feel like that's even trickier, then when they pay a guy who has low sack numbers, you know. Now, if you want to say like aging, but even that doesn't really appear to be.

slowing down. His snap number last year, now I missed two games. And I don't recall the exact specific circumstances of that. Maybe one of them was in New York, one here. But he missed two games. But if you do it, snaps played by game, he's playing

as many snaps as any big man in the NFL. He's an effing horse. And 30 ain't that old for a guy that at that position. So, you know, I... 30 will be when the contract kicks in. Right? He's only 28 right now, I think.

Or he's late 28. I'm looking at whatever happens until he's 33 to 34, I'm okay with. And to me, this is the good business that we ask them to do. And there's details on the contract now. Freeze up 13 million this year, 11 million next year, based on the way they spread out the cap hits. I mean, I'm looking at this tweet here from SpotTrac, and this almost looks like the type of contract.

that the Eagles sign and people are like, oh, another, another Howie Jim, how does he keep doing it? Because, I mean, his cap hit in 2026 is $8.5 million. That's Brandon. So it, you know, I don't know. Does that help you potentially sign George Pickens or do you think it better? He's done. I think that they've got to be extremely competitive there or it will look. But also, you know, I'm not a huge fan.

Because what? Getting way ahead of ourselves. We're going to have all the data we need. by then right now we have no idea we have a couple suspensions a couple of three maybe a 250 yard game maybe a comment or a post on instagram that gets deleted um there's a many turns to this story but the point is they're setting themselves up to do it they got all these void years option years i don't know how all this stuff works but i'm telling you other teams do it and they haven't and now they are so to me let's not get distracted by

Part of my problem is that I do really think they are still chasing the story of how Micah Parsons went wrong and trying to make it right. Like locking him up now. Like everything they're doing, like there was no way they were going to get rid of Kenny Clark. Right? Because he was in that trade. It's like they have to make this trade almost retroactively look like it was the plan all along. and I think that's what part of this is. Like we've got to make sure we're locking up Quinnon

because what if you trade of one of those picks for Quinnon and then you got rid of him the next year. I don't think that that is not a factor. I think you're right. I think teams and organizations do that all the time. But I also think it's getting him doing it. Also, it's just he has two more years. If you're to weigh it against Pickens,

you have a great point about Pickens. The reason they're not signing him is all those things you just said. Which is why I'm surprised. his people are going for it. They know that too. Yeah. All those potential problems. But if you were to look at both of them and say,

which one if I sign them now to a four-year deal is going to save me more, I would say signing pickings now, it feels like those wide receiver numbers keep going up and up. Whereas those defensive tackle numbers do keep going up by $100,000 every time somebody signs a new deal. Whereas the wide receiver numbers are like, all right, well, now I want two more million than that last guy got. Yeah, but what if you, and who knows, maybe this is the DAC thing that burned them still. Maybe it's all part of it.

But I don't know anything about the stock market. But I do know that buying it an all-time high might not always be your, like, what if this is the crazy part of the receiver market? Right, no, that's very important. A couple years from now you're going to be like, ah, God, that guy was kind of a product. And if you want... Let me tell you something. That's 100% going to happen. There's going to be half of these dudes who are paid in the top 10 as wide receivers will get exposed as primarily products of a system.

Oh, yeah. Who just signed? The most recent one really shocked me. I'm not sure... Texans. Oh, I know Alec Pierce got a huge deal with the Colts. Alc Pierce is a baller, but still. Yeah.

But still. Not... It's 20 or something, isn't it? Yes. It's an absurd number. And maybe that's what a second wide receiver will make. And again, always remember the cap. The cap.

It goes up. It goes up. Are you talking about Zay Flowers? Zay Flowers is a huge contract. Like that's 35, right? 35. Yeah, Pickens. I mean, and I would take Pickens over Zay Flowers.

I believe I would, too. It's not like. But yeah. But in the end, if the Cowboys end up saying we traded a, what was it, a fourth? For Pickens? I think a third. A third? It may have turned into a third.

Yeah, there you go. We got two years of. of whatever, 2,500 yards receiving out of it. And we ended up paying, what was this, making a million last year? Yeah, nothing. Yeah. So, and we did that for 15 a year, that's a good decision. That's a good move.

And that would be a good football move that you would hope your football team makes, right? Yeah. And if you were able to theoretically develop another young wide receiver to be the number two, because clearly Pickens wants to be known as the number one. and you already got one of those. Okay, but now that the game is different and the running back is not the running back anymore, your second wide receiver is not the same, right?

We need to allow for a guy to be a two, and it still be he's like an alpha. I mean, you've got two cornerbacks, right? Like, no, I don't know. I think just the game has changed so much and the money allocation that you can be like a, a massive star to be the second best receiver on the Cowboys.

I don't know. And hopefully that's what his people is one of here. The triplets might end up being two receivers and a quarterback. Exactly. Exactly. In the new way or what are a tight end in a receiver.

So I'm conflicted on the Pickens thing just because they're, Dax running out of time. And it's, you know, there's like a premium on him every year on Pickens or these receivers where it's like, Can we don't, can we have an Alan Robinson year, or Alan Hearns and whoever it was? Like, can we have one of these years where we just don't have anybody for him to throw the ball to?

You know, and you got CD, but maybe that's the thing now, is that that's not enough. Is it in today's NFL, you can't just throw another guy out there. Also, after the ram scrimmage. Which Quinn and Williams dominated in. That's what I meant to bring up at the start of that thing. It was just that all the reports were like, oh, he's... Yeah. And I just don't think he's a guy that you think of, like, chilling after the money.

I don't know anything. No, this is his third contract, right? Yeah. Yeah, he's already done the... He's kind of proven that he's going to keep bawling out. The, uh, the, apparently the cowboy, so I don't know if they were trash talking the Rams, but in reading some of the reports, the cowboys after the scrimmage started gathering together, and this was player-led, according to Shottie in his post-scrimmage press conference.

The coaching staff had nothing to do with this, but they went to run some sprints. They went to do some conditioning drills, as if, like, hey, we want to be strong into the fourth quarter late in the season. Let's do this now. My initial thought, as always, a little cynical, and is this just for the cameras? and then my thought is when I try to map that out and be logical about it, well, does it matter if it is? Right.

If they actually are doing these things and they actually do have this mindset and I mean, this is the kind of thing that you would want. I mean, when it's with the Cowboys or NFL in general, right, you're going to blow it up bigger than it is. And they know it. They know if we do this, we do it after the scrimmage, like people, like this will be. But what's wrong with that being the title card of your team is they work really hard.

And they, you know, now I heard some things where like some of the players are like to the Rams. Yeah, we'll see you in December. Okay. I don't know about that, you know, Romo and Brady, but. They do play. Oh, they actually play a game. I'm hoping that's what they meant. Okay.

Yeah, no, even if we want to call it bad, nothing should ever be on the Romo Brady. level. The more I think about being two and whatever, two and eight and being like, yeah, all right. Yeah, I heard you guys mention that. MVP this thing. Pull me up, I think, pull me up here, Blake. I want to. I'll pull you up. Reacting to. Okay, this is, this is Fox 4. What's our guy's name? Jeff Colb? Jeff Colb. Talking to Clarice Tensley about them running. Don't you like me to get a little crossover, news, sports guy? I can't be. Reacting to this joint practice with the Rams, including Dack Prescott raving about his new $100 million teammate, Quinn and William.

C.T. All right, first up. What? I don't know. We're doing C.T.? No. I don't know. I think I might put some respect on the queen.

Oh, my God. She deserves better than that. But I don't know. I don't know. I think it's Queen Tensley. Prescott raving about his new $100 million teammate, Quinn and Williams. CT.

All right. Nice decision about the team running those sprints. Very good. We'll see you. Thank you so much, Jeff. She's just got to say something. Yeah, yeah. Not really sure.

Yeah, nice decision. She's probably thrown off by the CT as well. Right. Yeah. Running those sprints there. Yeah, I don't know about the trash talk afterward, but it's exciting to think about, it's exciting to think about just people talking about

Caleb Downs being out there. I'm very excited. Obviously, it's a different game or it's a different day when you have multiple guys stepping up. Like, I'm the leader, I'm the leader, I'm the leader, instead of just the... We said it was that guy. We're anointing you as the leader. Remember the contract you signed or it's now time for you to be the leader because it's year five or whatever. But Quinn and Williams seems like a leader type in a way where Sean Gary does.

Is it, no, Kenny Clark a little bit. But, yes, and obviously Caleb Downs kind of comes in with a Gandhi, like we could tell as a baby, your leader. We're anointing you as leader, and then all of a sudden he actually is. They're slight concern about Caleb Downs is just the hype. Like let's just Can we Can we show someone The Winston Wolf scene in Pulp Fiction

Like ever? Like can we just relax? Well Like are the did they send him with T.C. And Binion to be like, hey, let's just get your bus now Just so it's ready So we just don't have to go through all that later.

The thing, all I can really tell you Is that if you're going to have a guy like that, and it turns out this is often the case, you need to have them be the son of an athlete. Yeah. And he's the son of a pro athlete. His brother's been in the league for three or four years. Like, that's almost fail safe.

Like, yeah. The guys who blow it. How was I raised and what mistakes were made and how I'm going to rectify that? Think about if you were a pro athlete, you probably could have been a better one. Think about everything in your life. You're just so like, man, I think about it every day with kids. Anybody with kids does. You're like, I bet I'm taking notes.

Like Christian Parker is taking notes throughout his coaching stops. You're a dad, you're an athlete. You're raising these boys. I mean, I'm not trying to just glaze the dude, but at some point we're talking about, you know, it's the most important industry, arguably in America. And the most important team is like putting this guy out front. So I don't think it's hyperbole to say.

I just, I'm not sure. that I've ever been more impressed listening to a human being talk, like at that age and at that stage, like he just seems wise beyond his ears. Like I said, he seems like a quarterback to me. Now, he might end up just getting bullied around. I thought you were going to say possibly his size because he does have to get down in the box every now and then. And I've seen him getting, he gets cleaned out. But, you know, he's a DB. That's when I see him, I think like, oh, that's a linebacker sometimes. It's not. So that's what's cool about him, but also

sometimes it makes him look small. All right. Let's do some viewer mail right now. Boop. This viewer mail is going to be brought to us by Community Mechanical. And my first... Well, I guess we can give them a little love because my first viewer mail is from Community Mechanical. Is it from Blake?

Seeing if they can come out. Dude, can they put in a train out here for us? Put a mini split in. How about a mini split? Yeah. They could put a mini split anywhere, dog. I mean, just anywhere. Deerblind, whatever you need.

That got you covered. Yeah, they could make it as cold as the porta potty here at training camp. Dude. That is a cold port-a-potty. We haven't even done the oysters yet. Can't wait to show T. T.C. the oysters. Yeah, community mechanical is great.

They could do about anything for you. You could sign up for their annual bid. It's the PM, preventative maintenance. And they're actually kind of a money loser for them, right? You would think they'd want stuff to break, so then you just have to call them. But no, they kind of come out and give everything the once-over. And it keeps it from becoming like a massive, massive problem for you. So saves you money in the end as well.

CommunityDFW.com. Hit them up at 469, 667772. They'll bend over backwards for you. Never really actually see anybody do that. I'd like to see Travis can probably do it. He's on the peptides too. Community mechanical. Travis and the team real cool.

You don't want your house to explode. Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone. Dan almost died. Did you give their website and stuff or no? Yes. In fact, I did. I wasn't listening to you. Jake is so impatient.

patient on this trip. It's just not even... You're in California. Okay, first of all, it's not impatient. It is a desire to run with efficiency. All right, so like I said, the first email today is from Travis. Sent me this this morning. He said it was just listening to Tuesday's episode.

This is going to be about basketball. If it comes up again, Ennis Cantner, average 11 points and 11 rebounds a game in 2022 for Portland. He got votes for six men of the year. In the WNBA today, he would average 40 and 25. I played, this is Travis. What does he like, 6-8? Yeah.

He says, I played on the men's practice team versus the Baylor women's team. that went 40 and 0. They won the national championship and they had Brittany Griner on it. Mulkey would yell at me to stop jumping, even though I was the same height as Griner because I would get every rebound and block half of every shot

that was attempted in the lane. Stop jumping. I got a Division III basketball offer. I was the equivalent of prime Blake Griffin in the women's scrimmages. Whenever we did the off-season runs where the coaches weren't allowed to go, The guys are beating the women by 30 points, and the guys were treating it like it was the All-Star game,

trying to dunk and cross over while the women would get more and more upset, eventually leading to the scrimmage getting shut down, because there would be an inevitable Sophie Cunningham foul on one of the men while he was driving to the basket. The underspeed of best player in the WNBA is a 6-8 post-player, so I imagine a guy who's seven-foot, even if he's moving at 50 or 60% of the speed while he was in the NBA, is still moving at her speed. That's from Travis. And I couldn't agree with that email more.

Jake, your retort. My retort is the original point. So he's retorting to the retort. He's 34. He's not seven feet. And yeah, I could say everything I said the other day again. That's what you mean. I think that he can't play full court basketball, like effectively at this age.

I think he's doing this for a reason, and it's because he can't even play. We are talking about the W-RBA. Correct, yeah. I'm saying he's not able to move. Travis was like 20. He was 19. Talk about a 34-year-old who can't play in Europe. And he was never seven feet tall.

He might be 6'10. And I think if you inbound the ball and run by him, he will not catch you. I think right now Blake could beat him in a race. So I didn't realize. I think right now I could beat him in a race. From the baseline to the end of the floor. So what are they going to, I mean, if you just play a full court game, that's my point. It's not about physical strength.

That's the part I think you guys are missing. He's obviously very, very strong. But if he can't run. I just can't wait until he's the number one overall draft pick. Well, you know, I can't wait for that. It's no matter what. You know what? I didn't realize that the other guy who's doing the bit,

like Ennis Cantor's doing a bit. It's like the guy who wanted to be a Hooters waitress. Royce White. Just so he can sue him. Yeah, Royce White, that's the guy that got drafted and then couldn't, like he wouldn't fly or something. He had mental problems and never played in the NBA. He's never even been an NBA player.

Correct. That's why he's doing this bit. But I thought he had all these problems and he got, Yeah, he's had a lot of problems What's his bit? Like, where do you come from? Where's he been? He ran for politics.

He was doing mental health advocacy. Now he's really conservative and he's like anti-woke. And he has like a YouTube thing. And now he's doing. Okay. That's how. Side show, you know. Yeah.

So I didn't bring it up. Okay. I didn't know. I forgot about that guy. And I'm like, how did he get back in the public eye? That was his goal. I thought the, like, all right. This from Dr. Garrett

What's up, Votch? Hilariously, hearing you guys not know what the R and RFID stands for, that would probably be like hearing CD Lamb not knowing what the F and NFL stands for. We were wondering, RFID, and I was like, frequency, it's, of course, radio. Oh, radio. Radio frequency. Yeah. We do radio.

We do. This actually came into my text. chat from Landry. Situation you don't want to be in, the pickup line at daycare with your door open. Do you ever do that? You leave the door open when you go in because you know you're going to be carrying them out and you just want that already done. I've done this many times.

Interesting. All right. Like I park, leave it open. Like out front. They bring the kid to the front door. So you just put them in. You're a daycare line. Leave your door open for walking to get your kid when your favorite DFW sports comedy

podcast is comparing putting baseball on TV to AI child porn and your phone won't pause for some reason for a solid 30 seconds while the parents are going on and out. Hey coach. Thanks for having us. Oh, shoddy. In the flesh, baby. So. Yeah, you guys should stop talking about that. That was an FCP.

I thought Dan was making some great points. Speaking of on the subject. Jay, congrats on the first pitch. You nailed it. No, don't do that. again, please. Just let me live. Speaking of nailing it.

Do you think the horse porn watching lady from Hawaii would be interested in watching Champ and Captain Humping? Champ and Captain have to have sex. They have their mammals. Yeah, it's

nature. I think about her a lot. It's one of the more shocking things I've ever seen in my life. I got a Jake first pitch email. And we got a bunch of more videos from different angles. Is it worth a T.C. to send those to you to make another montage? Why don't we deal with what's next?

He's shaking his head. Let's move on. He doesn't. Oh. No, no, no, no. I understand we have one more week of. No, I'm done making fun of my friend. Nick.

I love him. If you think that's... That's what that was. He's got a mountain of football videos. He doesn't care. Yeah, he doesn't care. He's got an ocean to get into. Yeah.

Dear Uncle Hotmail, now that Jake has learned to throw a strike off the mound, when is he going to attempt to strike out Blake? That's what started this whole thing from my memory. That's from Matt. Like Ashley Schaefer said, set that shit up. We're going to do 60 feet. Sanchez Pitch the Bound? I want Dan, though.

No bunting. Hey, who said that? Who's going to bun? That's ridiculous. Speaking of TC, I got one. This is from Sam. I wrote this email without the help of AI. F, yeah.

This is from Sam Beeman. He's a big TC fan. He says, but TC proclaiming he wouldn't keep his job if he mispronounced the first pick in the draft was hilarious. I think the TC there is saying he's... Am I out, Blake?

Yeah, I guess. But it's not guaranteed. Tip off tomorrow is at 7.30. Roger Goodell's created a committee to examine and coordinate the possibility of a team moving to Los Angeles. Beyond needing approval by the owners, any move would need a nod from the league on the stadium lease. And financing details, the committee will grease all of that.

The most prominent recent LA Gambit is still playing out with Rams owner. Okay. You just played that one, Kay Adam talked by. His white socks blindness got him. He says, I love TC. Tickers were not his strong suit. That's who that was? Kay Adams?

Yeah. Up and Adams. Man, I wish I had a name that'd be cool with the show. Hey, wake up and take a McBowl movement with me. All right. Try that one on Air Force. I like that. I'm ready to use it now.

I got some W.HLs. That's why Hillary lost. Excellent. He says, this is Derek. Daniel, this may be an all-timer. I think we've all enjoyed a hot pocket. Of course. You take the stuffed pastry, place it in its namesake,

healed up in its hot pocket. But no more. In the interest of being eco-friendly, there's no longer a sleeve known as a hop pocket with the pastry. It's simply a thing in a bag. W.H.L. If this has been covered, I apologize, and I will submit to an Eddie Godell life. Oh, my God.

Please don't go that far. That's from Derek. What is he saying? He's saying that there's no longer the... How do you heat it up? But I thought the pocket was the bread. The metallic... No, isn't it the metallic cardboard?

No. little holder? The fake? No. Blake is right. I concur with Blake. The pocket is the sandwich. So in a plastic bag, we're good.

It's just whatever. I don't want to deny this guy. Is that your sister-in-law? Hot pocket or what does she think? Okay. Hot pockets. We know her. The pocket is the sandwich.

Are you okay? What? I have some movie tropes. I got several. This from Matt. Two people drive. or having an argument and the driver has to slam on the brakes and pull over to the side of the road so they can make their point.

Dude, when's the last time you tried to just pull over? Yeah, Romo really struggled with it. Extremely involved process. I can't wait for the day I tell my kids, don't make me pull over. Ooh. That will be said at some point. I don't think I ever did make my parents pull over. Yeah, I had to pull over to throw up a lot.

You guys have seen that before, though. That's weird. Yeah, we used to count the state so I'd done it in. Oh, do we have to mention that we're going to have a break like we usually do in the middle of these shows. But for our training camp coverage, so we're set up on a tennis court, which is right next to the press conference tennis court. So like we almost have to take a break. But for that break, we will just run the press conference, right? Yeah.

Are we able to do that? So you'll get to watch Shottie and listen to Shottie and hear Blake's tough questions to Shottie. I should go ask him something. You should bring it back to sports, get on Brad's good side. Anyway, that might be happening any minute is why I'm saying that. People are kind of scurrying around as if there might be a press conference at some point soon. My other movie trope is from me. I saw this in a TV show I watched recently.

It seems like any time you awaken in the hot. hospital, you get to leave. You've been in a coma for two days. Oh, now you're awake. And then the next scene is they're just back out in life. Yeah. No tests need to be run. Stay and let me, you know, let's watch your blood work or something. Just that, you're good. Hey, let me add to a hospital movie trope. What about, it seems like very often people like disconnect their own stuff and just leave on their own. How often does that happen in real life? I've always wanted to do it. More than you think. Really? Uh-huh. AMA.

leave against medical advice. I hear about that a lot. Oh, okay. A big threat at the hab. Wife. Yeah, wife is a nurse. And nurses who carefully try to pick your vein and put the IV in and then you just like wake up and just start ripping stuff out.

They don't like that. Wow. Okay, I would never even consider that. I want to switch actually over to our list of things that we thought we were going to have to deal with way more. TC and I were talking about this on the other night. Patents. Okay. I felt like I've designed a lot of video games as a kid on paper,

and I thought you had to just kind of file a patent for every idea you had. Because kids at school would mention, like, oh, dude, his dad didn't get a patent on it. He's like, he's supposed to be rich, but he's not. Shane in Collieville, Volcanoes. I never lived anywhere near one as a kid. Nonetheless, I knew in my heart they were an imminent threat that was to be taken seriously and constantly feared. The concept that lava was unstoppable was very unsettling to me.

As it turns out, volcanoes have pretty much bitched out for the entire span of my life to this point. All bark, no bite from Shane and Collieville. Whenever we took a family trip to Hawaii, my daughter considered boycotting it when she found out there's volcanoes on Hawaii. Why? Because, what, at six years old, they've already been like, hey, bud, you better be careful next to a volcano. This will not come up. Here's another one, similar. Like you could live next to it for 90 years. You're probably going to be fine.

These are actually related. From Glenn in Colorado. The ozone layer. How 90s is that one? He says, remember the hole in the ozone layer melting Antarctica? Yeah. He said, I can't, like, hairspray. I have a negative reaction to hairspray because as a kid, I thought,

this is destroying a space shield. I have one of these. the Audubon. Oh, dude. Yeah, you know, over there. No speed limits. My God. As a kid.

Yeah. The hairspray thing, they did permanently ban a lot of hairsprays. So, I don't know if this is fully related to that, but we brought up the other day acid rain. I was pretty concerned as a kid. Was that part of the ozone being done? Brian says acid rain was legit, very bad. He says, I'm a... I'm an air pollution meteorologist.

I'm sorry. Which is a whole ass job. And he has a very long, a strong explanation. The ozone layer, the same thing. It's, it's, I don't know if it's like 100% closed, but we took good steps. They banned chlorofluorocarbons. Yeah, he says the Clean Air Act was amended in 90.

Yes, it's a common thing now for people to go, see, there was no, all these worries that you have, you shouldn't worry about them because the ozone layer turned out fine. The Y2K thing, that turned out fine. The reason they turned out fine was it was a problem identified by both sides of the aisle and they worked together to fix that problem. Brian adds, fun fact, the original Clean Air Act was signed into law by Nixon. And the 1990 expansion was signed by HW Bush.

They were very agreed upon. But the Y2K thing, similar. It was something that we were really worried about in the 90s. And I suppose had they not been really worried about it and totally ignored it, that it would have, you know, it would have just affected us. All right. Training Camp is brought to you by Plumquick folks, and they're going to bring you the soon-to-be Super Bowl winning head coach,

Brian Schottonheimer's daily.com. Plumquick Company.com. Yeah, the media is walking in. Coach Shottie is sitting down. He has set his water down. Tad is telling him to go The Dums of You're listening to

The Dumbzone Turn my ears up a little bit All right, well there we go Me too Let me see Blake Just evaluating the False stop Do you feel that was worth it

He said all right We're done Goodbye everybody everybody stood up That was a funny joke It's the athletics John Machota. And then, you know, Babe wanted to ask one more question. They're all real, T.C.

How do you think? Are you more comfortable in year two than you were in year one? Actually, no. I'm running around with my hair on fire. Like, I don't even know what's going on. This shit, my parents, is morning. I'm unable to follow anything here. That's a very good question, though, because there's a variety of ways I might answer that question.

And really, I'm glad you ask. it and I'm glad you had everybody sit back down because you probably need it for your column. It's your, uh, oh wait, no? No. Where do you? They're going to kick you guys out of camp and I'm going to be doing the Jake Kemp show live. Cowboys Training Camp. Your dream.

You find too close to the sun, bud. We're just having fun. We, I do have a follow-up, um, uh, email. I have a few more viewer mail if we want. That's what I'm saying, and it's going to be brought to us by Early Bird CBD. Now, if you lived out here California way, you might be like, oh, man, I could just go to the store and buy better stuff than Early Bird CBD, like the real potent stuff. But if you live where we live, you might need the Early Bird CBD because it has the THC in it. The legal limit.

Which is ever the more important these days. Earlybird CBD.com. The promo code is DZ20. You've probably heard some changes, some laws, some news. Early bird is in the clear. Seems. And every day, everything's coming up early bird. Earlybird CBD.com, promo code DZ20.

Like Dan said, it's real THC, 2.5 milligrams per gummy. It's got CBD in it as well for a nice little chill-out time. They also have the drops. Good for a lazy Sunday. Like a lazy day. It's the first thing I thought about when I saw him, dude. Early bird CBD. What's the code?

DZ20. Nice. Nice. Along the lines, you guys are just talking about, I can't remember what was our topic right before, but I thought this was kind of along the lines. It was an email about things that you thought would go away, but are still big.

Okay. You had things that you thought would be big. Mm-hmm. These are things that you thought would go away. He says fire drills. I'll be damned, yeah, every couple years. He goes, we're still doing fire drills for our office buildings, as if we haven't already been trained in the mystic art of calmly walking down a stairwell,

safely crossing the street, and waiting for the fire department to show up. I get we might need these in college, but kids are hiding under the covers because they know it's either a drill or a drum. Coed Microwaving Dry Ramen. Do they still do fire drills in retirement homes? From DF number 1650. Like we did them in school, then you keep doing them at work. Like, when does this end?

When do we stop the facade? I don't think you get all those old people out of there. There's got to be some sort of code. I haven't heard about it. And they give them like an exception for time. But it is a great, because what's the point of it? Is it the idea that you'll hopefully remember the pattern in case you need it in an emergency? Because you won't.

You'll figure it out, right? But is that what they're thinking? Practice this so that when it happens, you'll be. Because otherwise it's a waste of time. I think everybody knows fire, get out. Run. Well, no, you don't know the drill. The drill is not run.

It's calm. You guys get in the line and walk. I will run. Right. And that's the kind of guy. That's how you are as a driver. Like, there will be no bottleneck if you just run and then everyone else runs. There will be no Dan and Blake blocking the aisle because we're yucing every power bar.

That's probably why they have windows at, like, nursing homes, so they can just dump them out. Like, they're not actually. Do you think it's, okay, we were on a plane yesterday. Is it funny when they are asking us, they make us verbally respond? We had the exit row. And you can't nod. Yeah. Because one guy tried nodding.

He's like, I need to hear you say yes. Actually, you said, I need to hear you say yes. I love that guy. He was spicy. I loved him. And he had friends. It wasn't just one guy. No, no, no.

It was a whole crew. I thought there was going to be, they would occasionally break out just in song. It was great. Yeah. I don't. I'm not actually sure that Am. is a prefix, but I'm going to go with, they were the biguously gay trio of flight attendants

because they were pretty out front about it. But I gave my verbal consent. But I don't know that I would have actually helped everyone else off the plane first. Yeah. Like, I'm just getting in your way. I'm too big. I better go.

I would have helped. Let people eat me. I would have helped the nice lady next to me. Yeah. who was hammering a double screwdriver. It's the hottest thing in the world. Yeah. A woman getting drunk on an airplane.

I got my little soda and she said, yeah, I'll take a double Tito screwdriver. You're not playing at her speed. No, I'm not. Man, I felt, so I'm not normally sitting that close to first class. I did not know about the, so ahead of me was first class, so I didn't have a seat in front of me to lower the tray table. Right. The tray table came out of my armrest that I did not know about,

and she had to help me open it. Hillbilly. Put it in my lap. She knew I didn't belong. No, I didn't know until Benji showed me, and I was too scared to do it. You can be in coach, but then walk up and use the first-class bathroom. Wow. He confidently did it.

Yeah, but. I was like, man, they know I don't belong. I think there's some sort of class. We were in that was different than, I think we were in like a business class. We were. So is that a distinction? But there's no wall. We had the little curtain now.

Yeah, in between us and the bathroom and nothing between us and what's behind us. Right? So maybe he knows he's allowed to go up there? Yeah, I don't know. Confidence. Normally, that's a bit down away. It'll get your places. I went to the back.

Except when Dan tried to get in here yesterday. What do you mean? We haven't addressed it yet. I did a pretty good job. No. You did all you could, but she just really put you in your place. No, you. Her and I were changing digits by the end of that.

You had what I would call the watching 2026 Jacob de Grom experience. Like, first out of the gate, you got roughed up badly. He settled in and by the end of it had like an okay experience. So here's a situation. Dan, Blake, and Jake arrive, and T.C. Grimm and Clayton are already here. No one from the media or the Cowboys is here, but the security guards are here. The three who arrived in the RV or in the SUV, they've already talked to the security guard. That security guard is running it up the ladder to someone else.

The only communication that needed to be done had been done. And then Dan Blake and Jake arrived, and Dan kind of came up. It's going on up here. I'll take care of this. I just wanted to show you that I can get in where you guys couldn't. And then now credit to him, his machismo is so strong. He needed two more lesbians. They had to call in reinforcements, but now there's three people.

Like, hey, hey, hey. You know, and you settled it down, but I feel like it was unnecessary. We ended up in the same place we knew we were going to be. Jake was about to call an Uber. It's just that we've already covered the general. No, I wasn't, that was obviously a move to get things moving. Are we going to leave? What are we going to do?

What are we doing? Just sit here? What if we just go stand over here five feet away? I think it must be because I have kids, but yeah, I just would like us to move towards objectives. Speaking of fake objectives here, do you remember us? talking about climate pledge arena in Seattle. Yeah. Because it was where the Sophie Cunningham anti-protesters were getting yelled at by the owner of the Seattle Storm, who looks like Pat from S&L. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's very Seattle climate pledge arena.

Ian in Seattle. Go ahead. What? I just wondered if that would be a good WMBA logo like Jerry West. But go ahead. Like a silhouette of Pat. You can see the perm, like the little, tight little curls. Glasses.

Ian in Seattle says, while I 100% agree this is very Seattle-coded, climate pledge is not actually an environmental nonprofit. It's a venture capital arm of the world's largest company, Amazon. Great. The goals are admirable, net zero carbon, et cetera, but take it with a great assault. So it's like every, oh, sorry. And he says, and this is coming from a Seattleite. who sorts garbage into four different receptacles every week.

Oh, wow. That sounds fun. I wish I was doing it. More guest-themed jingles to the tune of Grateful Dead Songs, Please, Ian in Seattle. We have it so easy. So easy. You hear about people in, like, Japan.

I don't know if this is true now, but I was talking to a guy. I was talking to a guy who said that he or a friend moved there, and they were so nervous about the process of putting their trash out As foreigners, they didn't do it for, they found other, it's a thing, how you dispose of your stuff. So when you imagine moving somewhere cooler, although you would enjoy this. Yeah, yeah. No, I love organizing my garbage. The Climate Pledge Arena thing, where it's that name, but it's, oh, it's actually venture capitalist.

It's not, that's like when we're sitting there scanning, it's like it's called, healthiest power bar in the world. Right. And then we scan it and it's got a 12 rating. Wait, wait. Do a little digging. I don't feel like that was, that's a proper name for that. Something that we learned about did some digging on on our own.

There was a proposal in Colleen to build a new cell tower. And the residents or the city council demanded that it resemble a tree. Now there's no trees anywhere around there. or wherever it was. But this awakened me to the world of cell towers being disguised as trees, which apparently are everywhere. And I got one from a guy. They called them in the business, stealth towers.

They can be disguised as flagpoles, crosses at churches, bell towers. They were notorious at my company for being a giant pain in the ass to the point where they were willing to pay much more on land costs to avoid having to have a stealth tower unless required by local zoning. He sent me a picture of his favorite one. I don't know if you guys will be able to see this or not, but it's... Cactus. Cactus.

It's a giant Cactus. Fake Cactus that... I think that's... That's in Texas? I'm not positive. This dude has done this. He's like the best of the best. Sending in the best for stealth towers.

We don't have those kind of cacti in Texas. No, and it's also... 75 to 100 feet tall. That's the main issue. And, man, people sent me. I'm going to put together a collection of them, but there's some insane ones. Yeah, I've seen some cool ones people have sent us.

Yeah, there's palm tree ones. I'm looking for them out here now. I'm looking for them everywhere. Anna Kay, we were talking Caitlin Clark the other day. as we will do Anna Kay writes Not a fan I could see it

And she has five bullet points Women do be jealous I know One none of her teammates Have ever seemed to have her back on the court All right If that If shit like that happened to Luca

or the like The whole team would be ready to throw down Not with Caitlin Sophie does Yeah I guess Sophie Cunningham has. Number two, hangs out with known racist slash creepers like Morgan Wallen. You're on your own on this one.

I'm just reading. No, I know. I'm talking to her. Number three is a whiny twat on the court. Number four, people say a lot of racist, transphobic shit in her name, and she has never denounced it. Number five, especially black athletes have claimed she's racist for a long time. No, I mean, my thing is just like, I just don't, I don't think she's interested in being like an activist at all. She's more Michael Jordan.

Yeah, and I think, I'm not really actually even interested in refuting any of her points. I just think that's probably, if you really put the microscope on the personalities of any of these people, you know, at some point you probably find some things that you found unsavory. They're friends, et cetera, right? I don't know. I mean, I was with, you know, and I think you probably have a much more philosophically consistent position than I do. But, I mean, I was with some people last week that went to that Riyadh comedy festival.

And like, you and I were talking about that. And I'm like, I don't think I would do that. But this is your friends. I'm a friend of a friend. I mean, when I hear the guys who did do it, I kind of nod. Like, oh, yeah, you're right. I mean. Dove, you know, like...

Because a lot of what she's saying is like association with such and such. Yeah, but find, you know, are you using that iPhone? Right, right. Really? Like... Where's the slave? Yeah. I think she's boring.

I don't think she's an interesting person. I think she's a super interesting basketball player. I like watching her play. I just think she's a boring person with some pretty boilerplate standard conservative views. Nothing more. I think it's interesting bit just that. that the WMBA is sitting around fretting. Worrying, they don't like this Sophie Cunningham stuff,

they hate these protests, they hate all of this. But you can also argue that the only, not the only, one, a major reason that their ratings are bigger than they've ever been are all of this. Like, hey, I need to tune in, to this. I don't think many are tuning in because they heard Jake

mentioned he thinks the basketball is better than it was 10 years ago. They're tuning in because they see all this crate. Like, I want to see someone deck someone on the, you know, I want to see whatever. Like, let's just take a look at this WMBA. I heard some wild stuff's going on. It's on TV. All right, I'll turn it.

I'll keep it on. I mean, I don't, outside of like exit polling, I'm not sure how I would ever dispute this point, but I don't I just don't agree. I think that the numbers speak for themselves. And I don't think people are just watching because they send mean tweets.

I think that is to your point of a lot of that stuff. I don't even think the average fan knows about. They're putting up numbers. I don't, I don't, I'm not trying to say that I think that it's awesome and I watch it. Like we run into guy, like Vinnie Corrales. Do you think he's doing a bit? Because I feel like when he was talking to us,

you're like, this guy's doing a bit. Well, that's what I'm saying. though, is that even when you meet someone in person who's like, I am legitimately into this, I feel like you are so dug in on the idea that this sucks and there's no way that a man could like this, that there's no amount of evidence that could be presented to you where you're like, people are actually, like, enjoying this. He's watching it. I don't even think ladies could like it. Well, in fact, I think ladies are less likely to like it because they're less attuned and interested

in sports. That's never made sense to me why women would be in. do it unless they were women who are just into sports. I mean, women do a lot of shit. You're supposed to watch just because it's a woman that's... It's a good sports. And I think they're making a better case for that now, and I think the numbers reflected. Do you think practice started?

Do you think that's really audible over our mics? I bet it sounds fun. Yeah, it probably does. But it's amazing how loud that is, and we're so far away from it. So imagine how loud it is down there on the field. Yeah, but that's how loud Lambo is going to be. I guess. Better have a scheduled road game.

It'll be coming to our house. It is a scheduled road game. Are they here this year or at Green Bay? Oh, speaking of that, actually, I'd like to know from people who have been to Rangers games, and I've been to a few recently, but Jeremy, P1Jare, said that he was there last Sunday. And this is something he's seen on TikTok, people recording,

that they'll just play fully unedited rap songs at Rangers games. Huh? Yeah. This is P1JR who was there with the cookie lady. Yeah. So he sent to me, he's like, it's unedited, full N-Bomb, it's a 50-cent dissing Jha Rule song. He's like, it was a Sunday, inwards, P-words, F-words, the old one flying all over the place.

Did T.C. win music guy at the ballpark for a day contest? Yeah. And he just took his wedding playlist. Dan loves that story, and it's a good one. I love it. Yeah, I was there. I lived it. I'm watching his aunt or whatever, like double take when the end we're just pumping out. Oh, my. That was so great.

You know, then I popped her. Anyway, speaking of, what's that guy's name? Did you see, what's that just emailed? Jeremy. That's right, Jeremy. Jeremy is our guy over at Trident Access Services. And access can mean so many things. It's basically garage stores, right?

But it could be a gate. That's how you access. That's how you get in to the, oh, wow. That's access too. Yeah, they can do the gate, the sliding gate, the swinging gate. the hook and ladder is that a is swinging gate like a football play

trick plays now they can't help you with the Statue of Liberty they could probably get you like a Statue of Liberty they could probably get you like a statue of liberty themed gate anyways TXTridant.com 817 512121212 you're not about to try to fix your garage door on your own if it's sticking if it's making noise if it's off track

that is not your job have Jeremy and the team come out and look at things for you get it like And garage door is right now silent. Just butter in and out. TX trinate.com 817-5121212. Tell them the dumb zone sent you. You get a 10% discount when you do.

Jeremy. Were you doing news? Yeah, let's do that. Here's Jay with the dumb zone news. Jeremy. One small update on the story of former ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller. Oh, yeah.

I say former, but he's currently on leave. Lost his arm? Yeah. Yeah, we're scamming people. Well, he knows where it is. It just doesn't work anymore. Yeah. Maybe it's in his game room. I would warn it almost regardless of condition.

No doubt. Yeah. So you guys actually introduced the order of operations backward. He got into a car accident, and then, because, he was in a car accident and put up a go fund me saying I need money for where my arm used to be everyone was like hey

I've given you money before that I never got back and then that snowballed and put a lot of scrutiny on his past like charitable efforts probably got some tax situations going on this is a charge related to the crash

though he was charged with failure to drive on the right half of the road when the roadway was of a sufficient width, workshop it. Means there was no line down the middle? That is really wordy. That's what I'm guessing. There was no actual line.

There's a pretty wide road. I've seen the video, and it definitely looked like it was his fault. So he'll be charged with that. That actually led indirectly to the investigation into his financial situation. He was collecting fantasy winnings. and running this game and that. Is that true that he was scamming people? Oh, it's 100% true.

Okay, because he was still, even through allegations of the scamming, he was online saying, hey. He tried. I want to see that list of other crimes they find out while investigating something else. Oh, man. Yeah, feels like it probably happens a lot. Yeah.

Discovery. Sure. Ah, discovery. We were watching a little bit of L.A. news last night. It was... Oh, yeah? Yeah, we just had a little slow start, and I'll tell you why, because the Lakers got sold for $12 billion.

So none of it was, like, great audio, but it is always funny when they... Let's go out to crypto, to the arena. I mean, never mind the fact that it's, like, 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There's really nobody there. And they just kind of have to force comment from some guy.

But that's what, you know, the first five or so minutes of the news are. After that, you forget that the murder of Rob Reiner is a local story here. So he's on, they're going through the trial process there declaring insanity or whatever. His own kid, right? Yeah. Yeah. After Conan O'Brien's Christmas party. and then the next story we saw

was a hostage situation which feels like if at home this would have been the A block but this is a civic center in Los Angeles where from about 2 to 9 p.m.

Somebody just comes in with a gun felon running from the cops runs into that building holds the entire it's like an old folks community sent a tight place hostage for seven hours and then when the guy surrendered I just wanted to show you this photo of how we were laughing at the image I guess like to get him down all they really had was like the the gurney that they put up and lower you down like I should have put an image in there but I'll show you

Like it's the most defeated into a hostage standoff I've ever seen So he laid down and... Yeah, like... All right, we're going to need you to lay in that thing. You're like, just kind of strap yourself in there. Want to be safe. What about the... Do you never do political news?

I think this is political news. The answer is no. I don't. The plane... There's like a threat against a plane and then so Trump went on a different plane and let everybody fly on the one plane? Really?

Yeah, that's what they were saying last night. Like there's a main presidential plane was going to take off and that's all the journalists. Real AF1. Journalists and even some other politicians were on that plane. And then so he gets on it,

but then they took him off like in a back door or something of the plane. Like he slid on the thing, you know, they put the big slide out. And he's like, we. And he goes down it. And then they drive him and he gets on another plane.

Because they were like, there was a threat against Trump, so they let the one plane. What if that plane did get shot down? You would be like, okay, good job on ascertain that there was a threat and you got the president out of harm's way. That's a yay. But then you would have all the dead journalists and other politicians and that, like, Marco Rubio is one of them? Kill me. Scott Biffin. What's his bit?

I'm in charge of money. Secretary of State? No, yeah, I don't care. All right, well, that's, it seems wild, but. I say it's fake. Oh, well then, how can I retort that? DPD, a uniform Dallas police officer, I want to say accidentally, but it wasn't an accident, fired four rounds at one of his own during a traffic stop earlier this month.

and the way that this happened was the other guy was undercover so like a task force unit and I just I don't know how this doesn't happen all the time that's what I would always think watching like strike team type shows and you'll see guys now like get pulled over and the video get posted on social media or something

If you're not allowed to tell the cop that you're a cop, that to me would be the most frustrating situation. You could humanly be it. You're just like winking at them. I don't know. My favorite shows are chips. Rent-Tin-10. I just found out that Rin Tintin was a cop dog from you yesterday.

Yeah. I've just always heard of Rint Tintin is. It's a dog. I didn't know. I thought it was just a farmer had a dog or something. But that was a show about police? Yeah, I think the cop was a dog.

I think I only knew that because we had like a cop dog of some nature. We had a German Shepherd that my stepdad brought home. This is a wild story. I'll read you the details of it, this cop shooting. The shooting captain hour-long pursuit that began the morning of August 6 outside of business on Sunnyvale where a 39-year-old man stole a white Porsche cayenne. He had arrived in a stolen F-150, approached the Porsche with the owner's nine-year-old daughter still inside.

Ooh. You know what that? This is like how you talk, not to, now I'm doing politics. This is how you talk about how the New York Times talks about Trump. Because it says that the suspect then, quote, indicated he was armed and ordered the girl out. Motherfucker, get the father. Yeah.

The child ran into the business to get her mother, and when the woman confronted him, the police say he again indicated he was armed before driving off of the Porsche. The victim gave officers real time. Yeah, would have driven off right when she got out. Like now I'm leaving. I wouldn't like, hey, wait till your mind.

Go get your mom. Get this bitch. All right. The victim gave officers real time location data from the vehicle's tracking app. About an hour later, they caught up with it. Aerial video shows a covert officer in an unmarked gray vehicle

pulling in front of the pursuit to block the suspect's path. Dash cam video from the officer that shot from the patrol car shows what's next. He sees a guy step out of the covert car with a weapon in his hand. And he...

Like, let's shoot him. Exactly. But he didn't kill the guy? No. And he shot him four times? I don't know that he didn't hit him. Oh. He shot at him.

That's not good. That's funny, though. Shot him does imply that he hit him. Yeah, said you shot him. I don't know which one I said, but technically he... If you just shot at him, you did shoot it. Really?

Just from an English language standpoint, I feel like adding on shot at, like just adding at to something sounds very improper to me. Do you typically do that? If I shot him. Well, if you don't hit him, then you shot at him. Okay, there you go. Because why would you say I shot at him if you hit him?

You would just see, I shot him. Did have a couple viewer mails from people in the medical field saying, you'd rather be shot. You'd rather be stabbed and shot. No. We were wrong about that. No. Y'all are wrong.

Oh, actually, I do have another politics story. This one relates to Texas Governor Greg Abbott. This is bold. Okay. He announced in a new proposal that teachers who have inappropriate relationships with students, minimum 10 years. Now, I know it takes a lot of political capital

to go after kid fuckers, but... Hello, sir. One of the Cowboys major sponsors walking by. Yeah, I don't... You know. This guy from Lucchasey. And on that front, at McKinney High School, they had to send out a letter yesterday,

clarifying undergarment requirements for this year. This is for the band, band competition. Like a part of the presentation had appeared online and quote purportedly outlined female undergarment requirements with bullet points that included sections on sports bras and shapewear. Now this is where things get tricky, right? Like if you've got a kid in high school and they got a uniform that involves really anything,

they're going to have to get specific. The sports bra portion of the presentation included a requirement to perform a, quote, jump test. I'm sorry. And who's running to the front of the line to perform this test? It was described that performers must do a jump test when testing their sports bras. If you jump multiple times in a row

and there is noticeable movement, size down or find a new sports bra, style or fit. Any style works as long as it holds firmly. and makes me the band director hard. Now, me, the band actor first, just to see if you need to be wearing a bra, we'll do the pencil test.

Do we know what the pencil test is? Yeah. Hold it up there. You put the pencil under the boob. Yeah. And if the pencil does not fall, you need a bra. If it does fall, you don't have to wear a bra.

At all. Because there's nothing to... Not enough up there to... It did not indicate who would... perform the jump test. Now... Hi, Steven. Hey, Stephen.

The director of... Did you see Stephen Jones last night? Your old buddy? No. Was he there? Because he was there for five seconds. No, I... Stephen was there. Look, dude, there's a give and take. I can give you some more that I can't give you what I used to give you. Hey, I'm happy. I don't care. He's the one. He's mad about everything.

I know. Just screaming. Now... Just one air conditioning. I don't know who would... exactly wrote this presentation, but I know that the letter to the parents. I'm sorry. So, obviously, this was an issue.

Who's complaining about bouncing boobs in the band? Yeah, I don't know. I don't really don't. I've been out of high school for a while. They titted up the band? Does that happen since I? Clayton's nodding his head. I mean, I don't know why this is whatever come on.

It might apply to, like, color guard. which they've certainly got to change their name since the product that texts you for rectal cancer by pooping in a box came out, right? They call that the color guard? It's coli guard. Oh. Yeah. But it's spelled the same. But in any case, the problem here is that the letter was sent out by director of bands Brandon Fisher.

Yes. How do you do? The garments references the presentation are recommended and not require. for all participants, male or female. There's no intention students who perform a jump test to any staff member or any public setting. It was instead meant for students to do privately. I don't know, man.

I don't think you can get away with this, ever. No. What school is this? This was in McKinney. McKinney High School. Yeah, this seems to be weird tacked on with the Greg Abbott thing. Why?

I'm just saying you have this one, These rules are put in almost, if you got some male teacher helping judge the boob juggage, you know, it's almost leading to the one thing you're not supposed, you know? Yeah. I know. I don't have an answer other than you have to be a eunuch or 80 to be a teacher. I don't know. I don't know. If you think about it, it's problematic.

So you're saying you're much like Mike. Pence and his wife. Like, you just can't even imagine that unless you're a eunuch or 80, that you'd be able to hold off from banging them great high school girls that you're around. No, I am actually, I'm not worried about it. But as a societal issue, it seems like it affects more people than it should. And I guess that's based on thinking that maybe we're only hearing about the, you know,

you don't hear all the cases. Yeah, but social media now, I think is a big factor. That's where most of these are. And I mean, stuff like this could happen and get filmed, and you'd never know about it. I don't know. I'm not trying to single out the band director here, but... But...

You know, I mean, I'm kind of singling out the band director here. I'm trying to focus, but it's very hard. Sorry. I know, you just want to dance, don't you? Well, we'll do one more on the roller coaster that we saw that got closed. So Magic Mountain Roller Coaster out here was closed for report of an unconscious person

on board. Have you guys ever seen this happen? Like, have you ever been, you have? I've heard of that. I've definitely heard of it. I asked because I was asked this a lot in Hawaii. I don't really know why because there's not just a preponderance of roller coasters there,

but I was asked a lot about my future in the roller coaster game by the boy and I can't did you get out blame back pain at some point at roller coasters at what age did you stop like would you still uh once because now they all go 76 miles an hour like this one insane drops but I I once the girls got old enough to do it themselves but I'll still go on a roller coaster occasionally this one was closed for a month. This is now being reported upon on now.

They've closed it for a month. Six Flags Magic Mountain. I don't know. I just look at this thing. It says it's the world's first four-dimensional roller coaster. All right. Which I guess kind of means, you know,

that it's twisting while it's going up and down. So you're rotating as it's going. That doesn't make sense. Well, there's a jury trial for a lawsuit against them for this very specific roller coaster starting next week. If the occasional person... 22-year-old says that they had a traumatic brain injury while riding it. I mean, that's one of the reasons you ride it, right?

You could... I've always thought if one rider would fall out a year, like, do you want to be on the scariest roller coaster or do you not? Yeah. The occasional person, you might pass out. That's how awesome this roller coaster is. You know, any size can ride it. It's all about what's inside, the heart.

I don't think I could do it. I don't think I could do this. I know, you can't. There'd be a picture of you down on the small-sized part when they're measuring. Here, yeah, you just play yours. Just play yours. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, nothing matters. That was a good news. Except getting new floors for back to school. We're almost getting to back to school season now. We are. So Flooring Direct can help you out with that, with the hottest flooring styles, they say, right in the comfort of your home.

but they'll be there for you the whole time. No, I feel like you're almost making this negative towards Flooring Direct. No, listen, his wife waited on it the whole time. No, that's the story. The point is, yes, it depends on sometimes an odyssey is the person you couple up with. That's going to be an odyssey. This is par for the course, dude.

And here we go. We start out with one from Drop Beth. Do you know Drop Beth? I do. I met not Drop Beth. Big fan. Big fan of her as well. Yeah.

Dropbeth says, good afternoon. Like if you see the Spider-Man movies now, they'll put all of them in one. Do they really? Yeah, it's cool. Good afternoon, Daniel. In an F-Up of the highest order, I failed to wish. Happy 35th birthday to the great Caitlin Noblock on Tuesday. The only way I could have messed up worse would be if she had written and performed the theme song

for my little sports comedy podcast. That'd be horrible. And on it, we're a segment where I read. read Nolable birthdays every day. I failed to mention hers. Oh, she's saying like us, me. This is worse. It's worse that I didn't do this for Caitlin Nobla.

Put it on the Cali. Nope, don't like that. Put it on the calendar. That's from Dropbeth. Happy birthday, KK. We have Dear Ham Wallet Helper. Let's get T.C. and Matt Grimm in here, too. Let's let them join us.

We're just sitting here in the sun. Dear Ham Wallet helper, the 13th is my bonus son, Cooper Alford's Emmett birthday. He is the tight end for a small school called C-Wani in Tennessee. University of the South. Nice. He's pretty confident he woke himself up in that special way because I never have hot water. Yeah. I don't know what happened, Mom.

His leaders are Sarah's Heppela's, Foodie K's cuisine reviews, and Gun HSOs, and Meat Church doorbell. Man, what a callback. We did a remote at Meat Church, and people were complaining about every time someone came in the front door, there would be a doorbell. Wow. That was a long time ago. That's incredible. His favorite thing to do is ask, what's for dinner, and walk in on his mom and me wrestling. Quick, gay, not gay.

he loves to have his boys over to swim, but they never invite girls. Nothing wrong with that? Of course you would say that. I'd say there's definitely. He says, even if he's gay, he's still my boy, kind of. I think you should be more proud of him. He's not on some bullshit. By the way, girls are not about pool basketball like boys are.

That's what I'm saying. And that's infinitely more fun. Yeah. How many of those Lucy's you going to put in at once? Who knows? Fifth beer? No one's here to stop me. Yeah.

Dogs only. You bite the girls and then they're like, you gotta wait, don't eat, you just ate a sandwich. Don't jump in there so soon, yeah. 30 minutes. Don't splash me. By the way, I gifted him a locked-in year-long subby because I'm tired of sending him YouTube links.

I like it. Nice. That's good. Pass it down. Keep cranking hog and chase that paper. I would like that. What's his name? Dub.

The kid? No. I want Dub to email me whether or not he's a bleak. Bloodhound gang fan based on that intro. Don't you think Dan would be into the Bloodhound gang? It's so good. Yeah. That guy's intro was Ham Wallet. I mean, you know, there's an element of you had to be there at the place in time.

Yeah. It helped to be 12 when the songs were hitting. Did you ever get into that, Grum? They're very good. Yeah, he was great. Loved it. It's good music. Yeah.

K-on to Dan. Yesterday was my brother Ed the Plummer's birthday, which is the name he uses. in Richland Hills. In Coppell, he uses the alias Edward, and in South Fort Worth, he goes by El Eddie. Eduardo, okay, yeah. Either way, he is laying pipe

throughout the Metroplex. Nice. His heroes are Blake's Armadillo, Jake's hate for Bricktown, and Dan's CP Trapperkeeper, from your Mexican... Excuse me, your San Antonio Mexican Dumvato,

Poieto. Nice. That guy rules. He's always... I'm not against Bricktown. That's like the only good part of it. It's just they need so much help. I really think it is there are no gay people. Good afternoon, Dan. You forget what they bring to a place. Good afternoon, sweet Dan, lover of the lingus. My name is Chris. I'm a day two subby. You may know me from such shows as IJB while Jake was otherwise unavailable.

T.C. knows me from that and from offering to fix. And then immediately, He's immediately realizing I could not fix his camera. Blake knows me from several 42 nights. Oh, yeah. We have an awesome time. Blake is a wonderful host. Kanye Roso is the goat for their pizza and hospitality. I brought my wife with me last week, and she had a blast.

She was pretty skeptical going in. She'll be back with me. Nice. You're going to have a good time at 42 night. Chris is a good dude. Got a hell of a story. Jake hasn't replied to the several hilarious emails I've sent, however. That sounds like him.

He remains my leader, despite taking the easy on that right-wing goofball who didn't understand how payroll taxes worked and then let his own ignorance shape his entire worldview. Many such cases. Jake, how come you want to respond to his emails? What's his last name? Is that a business Wednesday he did? Yes, I assume. That's what he's referring to. Like the Bears' defensive back?

So a belated birthday to my friend Steve's first son born this weekend. I want to get a name ruling. The first name is John. The middle name is Brown. I mean, I think you guys know how I feel about that. You give it a 10? If I could rename my son or could have gotten away with anything, it certainly would have been that. You're just going to go ahead and put it right there in front of everybody right away now with that one.

Love to everyone, never punted unless punted upon RIP to the beloved one and only fat daddy Damon from Chris. And good afternoon, Dan, quote, I eat canned fish for the smell man. And the Yucca score. Say that now. Please help me in wishing my brother Jimmy Miller a happy Dirk birthday. The Jimmy Miller? Once an intern at the ticket. There you go.

More than an intern. Yeah. And forever a dumb zone listener, Jimmy is a good-ass-ass-y-old. dude with a heart of gold. This is very true. I hope he has woken up in that special way, but I won't ask as thinking about your brother's member being throated has to be gay. Yeah, writing it ten times more.

Just the term throated. Jimmy's on the list of guys where you're like, man, really a guy this good? The sod list. Like you're listening to this. Who is he an intern for? He was a norm intern, but he was a norm intern. weekend. He was a weekend player.

Not yours. Glad he wasn't a bad radio intern, I didn't remember. He was doing training whenever Jake and I needed to be trained. Okay. Yeah. He was patient lover. His leaders are Norm's paper

suppliers suing for medical power of attorney. Catherine Zeta Jones choosing oral over cheese and Jake learning how to throw just so he can return apple fire at Dan. That's from Bruce. Speaking of, we didn't get to this in viewer mail either,

but it's very important to one half of Tepper Palusa, the one that's not affiliated with high school football, and that's important here, Matt Tepper, that every time we bring up the cheese and oral hypothetical, that he actually originated it. He did, yeah. And I think this carries a fair piece of weight in his world, and it should.

It's one of the better hypotheticals I've ever heard. So I apologize for misattributing it. Matt Tepper. I don't think it's that good. Not the editor. Not the editor of the football magazine. Just, uh, who even thinks twice? Many, many people.

For cheese? Obviously you pick cheese. Yeah. I eat cheese every day, not once a year. Correct. That's your birthday. You know what this guy needs then? Yeah, but you know what I'd be doing is I'd be going to all these guys' houses who have picked cheese

and their women are just wishing they could, you know, because they like doing it. And you've just been to game day. Yeah, they've just been to Game Day. They love doing it, yeah. Speaking of Game Day. Yep. Game Day Men's Health presents on this day in history. Game Day Men's Health as well as.

So we wanted to plug Game Day Men's Health. We did a spot earlier in the show, but certainly gameday.dumzone.com. They are also one of our presenting sponsors. We have our title sponsor for Training Camp. That's, of course, Plum Quick. But Game Day Men's Health, as is Puddle Pools. And you can check out Puddle Pools.

that's kind of their whole job. Thank you to all those people for sponsoring our cowboy training camp coverage. There's football happening right there, Dan. There he is. B.A. Hunter Lipke. Oh.

Let's see. Is he going to be? make it through camp? They only got so many roster spots. He's a contracted core piece. He won't make it through camp because of all the like eventually someone's going to offer

enough first rounders to prime away. So it's Thursday, August 13th. It's weird as Thursday, isn't it? Did you guys wake up feeling it was Monday? Yes. It's going to feel awesome tomorrow. You know?

Yeah. When it's all of a sudden Friday? I got news for you the next day, although I like doing the show. Yeah. But, yeah, we're, again, since we were not able to block my house and my zip code from listening to this, I might as well lean in. This is heaven. It's heaven. Well, we should point out that, yeah, let's just do it cut a thing just for the wives, where you're talking about how you woke up in a sweat. You're bitching.

You had to sleep on a couch. yeah like the bugs that are getting in like all that pizza was expensive i made sure to front that in my text comments reviewing the trip to my wife yeah uh thursday august 13 that's today on this day in 1914 the first bus line in the u.s created greyhound began in minnesota as people wanted to leave minnesota on this day in 1961 the east german government closed border between the east and the west and then they started building the wall. And then they would dismantle that 28 years later. Didn't you assume it was closer to the end of World War II than that?

I thought it was like 1945. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah, I guess I haven't ever really thought about it. Like right away. Like, all right. So you could go back and forth between? I mean, I think that there was some amount of checks and it wasn't going that good.

So they were like, eh, let's just make a full wall. I'll bet somebody got elected based on the promise to actually erect this. I don't think they were huge on elections in East Germany, but yeah. That's a good point. On this day in 1966, K-L-U-E radio in Longview, Texas. Let's see, what did they do on this day? They organized the first public Beatles Bonfire. Were angry fans gathered to burn their Beatles albums, posters, and memorabilia?

Bob. This is after John Lennon said that the band was more popular than Jesus. I'm always interested in what gets people to engage in mass action like that because it's not really that controversial of a statement. It's just kind of an opinion about popularity. Some of their songs are so effing weird that I think people should have been burning that stuff in the streets. the second they put it out there. Do people not know what was on the records?

It took him saying that. That's like a pretty basic thing. What about when he was beating on that girl? I mean, Joe. I'm not going to. Yeah, they were probably doing that, too. Protest that. That's an odd reason to get fired up.

I think it's the Bible Belt. I'm sure it's... I think that they were making super regular songs. And then this happened, and they went into themselves. It was like Kanye. telling Taylor to hold on a second. Ah, thank Longview for getting rid of songs about taking a bubble bath or whatever.

That's right. Yes. On this day in 1972, Billy Martin is the Tigers manager at this time. His team had lost four straight, so he was trying to shake things up, and he made his lineup by pulling it out of a hat. Like positions weren't changed, and the pitcher would still bat ninth,

but he would pull each, you know, the batting lineup out of a hat. Let's not let this get out of hand. The pitcher will still bat last. And they won three to two. They beat the Indians. So in the second game of a doubleheader, he went back to his lineup, and they lost nine to two. Kind of like not given Kumar Rocker an opener after it clearly worked.

On this day in 1980, Todd Rundgren. Are you aware of who he is? Hello, it's me. Is that him? I know he's can we still be friends? I'm familiar with that song. Anyway, he was burgled. He was robbed.

He was invaded by four masked men. He was at home with his girlfriend and three house guests. I hope they said that when they walked in. They are bound and gagged while they just stole a bunch of stuff. And that's something, isn't it? Yeah, it is. It's a hard thing to go through. But you weren't bound and gagged.

Well, because I was a little swifter than Todd Rungren, yeah. You were tougher than Todd Rungren. People may not know that TC once successfully fended off a home invader. Did you know that? With a knife. No. Great story. That's incredible.

Yeah. With a knife? He had a knife. I didn't have a knife. All he had was his steely will. You just walked out into the living room and here's some guy? Yeah. My dog was barking and the dog's like Blake's gone now and I've wondered like am I going to die now if it happens again?

Were you naked when he fought him? I was in just boxers. No shirt? No shirt. Okay. Did you say something? What happened? Yeah.

I saw it like I heard something in the hall so I went out of the hall. I was surprised to see there was a guy. I tried to project that I was a masculine, scary person. So I said, what the fuck are you doing? He said... You said, what the fuck are you doing? That's right. Yeah, because, you know, if he curse, people take you serious.

Sure, yeah. He said this is a home invasion. No way. Which is pretty formal. Yeah. He works for the New York County. Yeah. And, you know, I told him to get out or something, but then he, like, came over to me.

Like, you know, we've been kind of closing the distance over the course of this conversation. He kind of pushed me up against the wall by the... throat, then said, I'm going to stab you. But he didn't have a knife in his hands. So in my head, I'm like, he's lying. I can lie too. So I was like, cops are on the way. You better get out of here.

And then he just ran out, like a little bunny, scared. Wow. The aura. That is shocking. That's awesome, man. Like I said, surprise you. Dang. I'm going to just hire him to watch my house.

No doubt. I've got a clean record. Yeah, no, not totally. That's the thing. Well, he breaks a bunch of shit, but no one's stealing anything. You can't sleep that night, right? I mean, it happened in the morning. So I was telling Dan about it within like three hours.

Yeah. But when your wife got home, just she absolutely, you had to take her. Yeah, of course. Right? Much like Will Farrell walking into the dream. Deliver your seed. That girl, yeah. What time?

It was like 7 a.m. Which feels like a really weird time. A little late slash early for that. I would wait to like 10. Maybe everybody's left for work. Or middle of the night is something people try. Yeah. But not like when you're usually.

Pretty sure they're going to be there and possibly awake is not the zone. Your wife was already gone? This was back before we had kid and we had a wonderful arrangement where she just enjoyed her mother's house so much. Once or twice a week. He's kind of had a little night to myself. Oh, yeah. He keeps getting better. He's lived a life.

It's great. Wow. Was it in the house? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was house. How did he get in? He broke the window, like in the back. I had an alley in a fence,

so he popped over the fence, broke the window. Then Cliff Wright heard about the story on the show before I was home that day. They had fixed the glass. What a guy. On this day in 1986, Herschel Walker signs with the Dallas Cowboys after playing in the USFL for years.

Jetskeys. For Trump, right? Yeah, he played for the New Jersey Generals. On this day in 1997, South Park debuted on Comedy Central. What a day. Man. You have no idea the disruption.

All of my energy that first year was spent trying to figure out. out how to watch this thing that my parents were spending an equal amount of energy making sure I didn't watch. My mom had never seen a foe like that at that time. She was working overtime to keep it for me. She was remembering like, well, maybe she didn't care because she didn't have little kids at the time.

But the era of the Simpsons breaking out, that did cause some consternation. We were not allowed to watch the Simpsons at all. Yeah, but it was like, eat my shorts. God, you can't watch that. Disrespectful. Somebody who is talking back to an adult. Yeah. Then Friday evening came around and

we rolled over to dead. The rates of violent crime in the country at the time astronomical, but the real big problem is we've got to make sure no one sees this on TV. Yeah. Seems to be a lot of that. Now we go to August 13th, this day in Dumb Zone history. All right, I got a lot. In 2021, we did the best of Blue Star

which nothing signifies the season's about to start for me more than watching Bill Jones and Blue Star try to pull off a production. Yeah, every year. I wonder if I can watch the game this weekend? Yeah. Because YouTube TV will geo locate you or whatever. You can get up your ass about it.

You can figure it out. I mean, it's not easy, but it's possible. Will you watch it for me? I'll be busy. Doing what? Watching the game, right? You're going to be at the game. Yeah.

I'm saying. All right, there we go. Watch Blue Star. Oh, that's right. I want to do this in this iteration, the best of Blue Star. We have a lot. Okay. Let's go.

That's great. I'll work on that. 2024, we were in the RV. Jake thinks he has COVID. It's possible. Dan gave him a mask. Jake puts it on and then takes it off within five seconds. Because he said, hey, do you want me to wear a mask or what?

Yeah. And I said, oh. Oh, that's on the table? Yes, I want you to wear a mask. And then he didn't. Story of my life with Jake. This was also the summer of Hawk Tua, and she just went on the Bill Maher show.

Oh, God, that was great. In my memory, the entire show was him just being like, what's it like to have a vagina? It's not far off, man. You just get to play with that thing all day? Isn't that great? He thought that she got spitting from porn. Maybe you learn these terms.

Jake took major offense to this. What's your argument there? Just that we've had sex painted on cave walls for... When people make the... It's only been radicalized by porn. I mean, I understand people have been saying that for 20, 30 years now, but I also think that people have been doing weird sex for a long time. Matt, you had a child in high school?

When did spitting start? In high school. Okay, all right. He's pre-porn high school. I didn't know Matt had a child in high school. He's a child's an adult. Oh, you knew that. I did?

Yeah. I knew that because I talked to him and he's my friend. And if you guys just spent a little more time with Matt, maybe you'd understand. This was also the summer of Dion Sanders. He hadn't lost a bunch of games yet. Yeah. That's what hadn't happened yet.

Still kind of good. He was having a press conference and it turned into an ad. And I've never forgotten about this since we played it. Coach Prime, Alex Ramirez, MyLy Sports Radio. This is a non-football related question. This sucks so bad. I recently had a condition, medical condition, about two months ago. And thank God I had Affleck.

I'm serious You're an ambassador for them A special forum How important is it for everyone to have Aflak It's part of their life It's amazing, right? It may sound like I'm doing a commercial Where you know

You believe in it. The gaps, you know, that we can't cover. I mean, Affleck is phenomenal But not only is they phenomenal too You know, people are doing Affleck read And thank God whatever. That's amazing. Only him.

I respect it. All right, so if you're in an accident, I would call 214 or 817 all three, Franklfirm.com. Can I give you a couple more? Sure. 2025 we had Tissy for rotisserie chicken. Yeah. You ever bust down a Tiss?

Dan wants to make a Twitter account that outs people who park poorly. You got a lot of ideas for accounts. I do. It's hotel. You would walk to places faster from one place to another, you would be able to have time to run all these accounts. Who is it? Is it?

It's him? Who? Fucking Dustin Hoffman. Holy shit. Am I crazy? Rain Man? Yeah. The normal one in Rain Man?

The real rain? No. Tom Cruise had. Damn, bro. Tom Cruise is the normal one, right? He looks very old. Oh, that's right. That's what a lot of people think.

Have you ever seen the TikTok? No. The one with autism is Tom Cruise. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's a big fun. Fucking Dustin Hoffman, bro. It's pretty great.

Yeah. He looked like I could really hurt it. He doesn't, yeah, he's not running around, but, you know. I mean, he wasn't young and right, man. Also, he did have two hands there, D.C. I don't know that was a prop, but... Yeah. Scratch that off.

He also gave his breakfast order once to an intern. He's here, dude. What are we saying? I don't know. Someone asked for a soft-boiled egg. Hold on. Put some context on it. Put some context on it.

It was the 80s. It was like a... That's your best offense? It was like a production assistant. Dustin Hoffman. A production assistant on some movie set is talking to Dustin. Austin Hoffman. Like a 19-year-old.

And he... There was an order for a soft-boiled egg and a hard-boiled clit. See, now people are getting canceled for being too funny. From him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This woman, like, 30 years later, it was like, this is such a bar. The graduate? Is he in the graduate?

Yeah, big time. And that's like 1970. Exactly. And so, you know, he's still alive. That's quite an accomplishment. Let him talk to the team and just see the... Do you think he's here to talk to the team? No.

No way. How many would know who he is? Do you think he's here for just a try-out? As presented, no one would know who he was. I bet Dak watches old movies. Gather around. Caleb Downs come over here. Do you think he's here to try and catch a punt? What would you do to see...

Oh, you know what? To see current-day Dustin Hoffman try to catch a fun. All that. That's probably got some level of penetration. Yeah. He's not in that, is he? Yeah, when they did the sequel, those did quite well. I don't know if I did the sequel.

Probably not. They did very well. So anyways, you're going to run a carpet TikTok. Oh, we're back to my ideas, my great ideas. Yeah, bathroom ratings. That's it. Yeah, I got a lot of good stuff. I would follow the bad parking one.

Thanks, man. I don't think you know this, but there's like on Instagram. I guess it's probably on TikTok too, but the cool version of this is, especially in Dallas, there's a guy that just goes and tours old buildings that are not being used anymore. So obviously, your Valley View Mall, these massive office buildings, like the one on Stimmons before they knocked it down. That's how they came up with backrooms, right? But then there's also accounts where guys just, it's just they go take a dump in a place. It's just like, come.

I think your feed is different than ours. No, he knows. It's like, come with me as I go to. Yeah. Wherever. The holiday in. It's insane. Like I had a buddy in college who was trying to take a dump in every building on campus.

Yeah. This guy does it. And then once he did. He would go like, okay, now I'm going to hit the different floors. You got to know. When you're in college, you better have a good list of where you're aiming for. Yeah. Then my final thing, Angelo update on this day last year.

I took offense. And I shouldn't, as this became a more economical. research project. I got mad that Angelo went to Coldstone. Let him have a treat. Now let me tell you something. You could get like

five trips to Broms, maybe 10. For sure. The problem is not that he's having ice cream. The problem is that is the most overpriced. Right. That's what Blake's saying.

Yeah, no value. But it's nice, he gets to experience gourmet ice cream. Hey now! Look at that. Yay. Our hero. Brandon Aubrey. That's right, girls.

I was hoping he's real. Can Dustin Hoffman kick a 70-yard field goal? Dustin Hoffman's leg would fly off if he tried to it. He would die right there. What were we just taught? What was your last thing? What were we talking about? Back to you.

Coltsone. Gourmet ice cream. Oh, yeah, Coltstone. $12.883 for two scoops. Here, here's my Venmo debit card. There's no way he knows how funny that is. No, he doesn't. I mean, it's odd.

that a guy like Angelo wouldn't have, like, good financial decision-making skills. Yeah, dude. Your criticism of it in the entire time, like, he doesn't know totally where he is. So expecting him to know the price of things.

Yeah, and then he's up his ass about... I want the best for him. I want... Not knowing it's Taco Tuesday at Fuzzies. Dude, he asked for delivery that one time, though, and that's just like... You know... Do you remember why? I don't care if you know where you are. He was raining.

Not raining, triseling. It wasn't even like, it's there, you're here, and you won't go. That's what you know. Anyways. Other birthdays today, we have Marty Turco is 51. Osa Odigizua is 28. He was a...

I want him to get like one-fourth of a ring this year. I'm upset they traded him. Where is he now? San Francisco. That'll never be a problem. Did you see the, uh, electrical substation or whatever has a Twitter account now. Dude, it's right.

George Kittle back at practice looking good, and then they'll quote tweet it. We'll see about that. That's great. DeMarvion overshone is 26 today. Oh, wow. Happy birthday. People will be yelling, happy birthday.

Nonstop. That's right. We're going to be right front and center. Colby Allard is 29. Ranger. Ranger. Brave. Former Ranger, yeah, as I look at some Colby Allard stuff today.

Colby with a K. Oh, yeah. It's clear, like, because his career has been horrible. I'm like, how does this guy have a seven-year career with every year he has a six ERA? First round pick. First round pick. Everybody's willing that the next team is like, yeah, I know, but he was a former first-round pick. He's a left-le-left.

Yeah, that helps. Yeah. We lost Jake. David Farity is 68. Musers. Was he very, like, anti-vocally anti-live when that all started? And then he's like, oh, yeah. You offered me a pile of money?

Folded pretty quick there. Pretty quick. Couldn't get me to do that. Try it. Try it. Just to see. See, this is such a... Listen!

No, it's the Goldnye theme. This is on my workout playlist. Oh, okay. It's the menu screen from Golden Eye. It's about to hit... What did you think it was? Never mind. Sherman Williams is 53.

Always confused me as a kid. I'm like, is he named after the paint? Yeah. I'm like, no, it's a different word. You idiots. Andre Thornton is 77. That's right, folks, the former Cleveland Indian, who instead of signing somewhere else as a free agent said,

I want to stay in Cleveland. God, you people. And it was the most amazing thing ever as a boy. He wants to be here. Right. Because he was being pitched by Baltimore, but he signed with Cleveland for like a four-year, $4 million contract.

It was like... Our Uber driver was sloboring Jose Ramirez for the same thing. This is still how they feel there. Bernie Cozhar, that's why he's a god. He was in college saying, you know what, I want to play for Cleveland. And they did some backhanded, underhanded things to get that to happen. And we're like, the guy actually wanted to go to Cleveland, dude. He wants to be here.

He loves us. He wants to win. Caleb Down said that as a baby about being a cowboy out here. Andre Thunder Thornton. Okay. One year they had a lot of fast players, too. They had Otis Nixon. They had Brett Butler.

And so if they could get Otis Nixon, Brett Butler, and Tony Bernersard, let's say, on base. Because he was fast as well. They would say lightning on the base paths, thunder at the plate. And then he'd probably hit a grand slam. Yeah. Most of his home runs were grand slams.

He hit 262 in fact. One year. DeMarcus cousins is 36. Buggy. Jay Buehner is 62. I liked Jay Buehner a lot as a kid. Elvis Gerbach is 56. Really interesting career.

Was he the one that was the people's sexiest man or sexist athlete? Yeah. They sent it to, I think it was Kurt Warner. Yep. Was the winner that year, but the photographer just picked out a quarterback at camp and thought it was Kurt Warner? This is 100, yeah. There's an article about this 2020.

That's how Elvis. Gerbach got to be the sexiest athlete in the air. We got a phone call referencing that Elvis Gerbach was in line for sexiest athlete alive, said the team's longtime PR director, to which a number of us were surprised. That's awesome. Every five birthdays, I like to read somebody from my history. So Dave Jamerson is 59. He went to Ohio University and was the 15th overall pick in the 1990 NBA draft.

Oh, wow. Then he failed. Betsy King is 71. In fact, the Cowboys have a, their top sales, whatever, man,

you know, whatever director. Is Chad, is it? Look it up. His name is Chad. He was a teammate of James Jamerson, I believe. Chad Estes.

Was a great, scrappy white Mac basketball player. in the 90s. And now he's like the Cowboys lead sales guy. Ah, he's a dragon. I see here. What is it saying?

Or just said he lives in South Lake. Oh, really? Yeah. It's the lessons he learned at Ohio University. This guy was probably there last night. Guys could have chopped it up, talked about the neighborhood. Some new flock cameras. You hear about that story?

Aaron Rogers is like, you know, a guy who's really into his privacy and privacy in general. And there's some Freedom of Information Act requests, found out that he, like, funded his local police departments, flock cameras, which will definitely help his privacy. Oh, you guys don't have any here. Let me help. Because he's worried about people, you know, being weird to him.

Yeah. So. Interesting. Yeah. F-O-Y-A. Yep. Philippe Petit is 77 he is a high wire walker

right he walks on ropes man on wire guy he's the man on wire guy yeah Danny Bonaducci is 67 he was on a show called the Partridge family whole ass career just from that man

he was on my TV a lot as a kid I could not figure it out VH1 And like just everyone, like, who is this guy? And then they made all of media that. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I think he was going on after Carolla on K Rock or something like that.

Really? He's been a DJ, yeah. Actress Debbie Mazar is 62. You know her if you saw her. She's from Goodfellas and Entourage. Probably well-known, more well-known from Entourage, really. What a legend. And Beethoven.

Publicist. Yeah, she's good. She was in Beethoven. Yeah. John Slattery is 63. That's Roger Sterling on Madman. Jake, what do you tell me when I tell you? This is the birthday, 80th birthday of U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Boy, you're out of the game one day. You see Jaydon Daniels warming up on the sideline. You look up in the stands. It's a moment you realize that this really is the place to see and be seen. there's U.S. Secretary Treasury Janet Yellen. That's exactly what I was thinking. Who's that next to her?

John Podhurst? Yes, if you're thinking about the Norm Pat Summerall or the, yeah, it's like just even the premise of your question is illogical. Had they been in Washington, I don't understand. It's the place to see and be seen by who? The Ways and Means Committee staff members? This is not a Lakers game.

Hollywood. It's not Madison Square Garden. Like, oh, my God, is that the director of the Office of Management and Budget? It never made any sense to me. And our dumb zone birthday of the day, unless you send me something, Blake. I sent you one. Oh, let's see here. This is our penalty.

Henry did send one in. Well, then read it. Did you send me? Is you send me one? Before this... If you've already run the filter of... Where did you send it? And the same thing, you sent this giant info on Josh Butler?

No, I send it to you personally. Henry's birthday is neon is 22. I actually know neon because I know Sneakow. So I know this... And I know Sneco because of Brunich. Well, Henry says he did a stream with CD. He did. He did.

He did. He's a little kid with glasses and, like, bleached hair. And, yeah, C.D. went out and he told the kid he wanted to play until he was 40. They got my son. Take that to the bank. Maybe that was Trayvon. But they both did it, I think. We're very focused on him.

I don't think Trayvon's playing until he was 40. Yeah. Is he in camp right now? I think he tried out for the lions. I thought Micah got him a job. Micah peeled off $5 million of his. I don't think he did well. Like it didn't like him that much to peel off 5 million of his contract and give it to Trayvon.

Dude, he's not going to be in the league. It's crazy. USFL? He will not humble himself like that. No chance. Do you think Quenon will be the same way? Like, right when you sign him and all of a sudden two years later he's out of the league? I hope not.

The Blake birthday, I wasn't going to bring this. I saw this one, but it's politics, and I didn't think Jake wanted to talk politics. Sarah Huckabee is 44. Yeah. But our dumbs on birthday today is also Jake directed. Valerie Plame, 62. Damn, that's a banger. There you go.

From the Iraq War. She was a CIA agent. She was outed. Now, can I get any of the other names involved in this? T.C., can you? No. This is your thing. There's like a name, right?

There's a big scandal. Like it's got a... Is there a name? Like the name of the... Like a Benghazi gate. Kind of... Am I wrong? Yeah, I mean, they added her cover,

but I don't remember her husband's name. But she's hot, though. She was hot. That might have been the first... Do you have all this, Dan? That might have been the first time I realized that... No, I just have Kempspin. That might have been the first time I realized

that they, for real, had hot spies. Like, it wasn't just in movies. She was hot? She was, dude, for a spy, like you said... Why don't we go... Sorry. I was watching. Josh Butler

TikToks. Lord. I mean... It's true. You know. That's time? This is today. But if it's when she's running for Congress.

But yeah, she was in the CIA. And they didn't vote for her? Yeah, I don't know. I'd have voted for her. Does she have the diaper? No, different lady. Scooter Libby. That's it.

Was the name. Yep. Born on the stay now dead. Bill Master Oh, that's the lady that almost kicked me out. What did you say she was? All-Change play. Bill Masterton, that's the only NHL-on-on-ice fatality.

And probably also the only way Bill Masterton was going to get his number retired. Am I right? That guy was a fourth-liner if I ever saw one. How did he die? He couldn't get a change in. You couldn't get a change in. It's not being tough enough. They just had to run a shift until he died.

Like if the same thing happened to Dary and Hatcher, right, he'd rub some spit tobacco juice on it and just get him right back out there. No doubt. Also born on the day, not dead, Fidel Castro. Dead on this day is still dead. Oh, Florence Nightingale. Did you celebrate today? Did you call your wife? says she's the founder of modern nursing.

Oh. What would your wife be without Florence Nightingale? Have you kept spent her yet? It feels like every one of our female heroes. Yeah, you know, Mother Teresa was a borderline terrorist. Yeah. But I haven't heard anything on Florence yet. H.G. Wells, the author of the Time Machine.

John Marriott, who Blake pronounces his name differently. Marriott. Jack Ryan, dead on this day. He invented Hot Wheels and the Barbie doll. Okay. Hot Wheels, man. Hot Wheels is still a big player at my house. Yeah.

Huge player. Kind of gay. I mean, it's just a little... How is it kind of gay? It doesn't make sense at all. For a guy to invent the Barbie? Oh, he loves chicks, dude. That's why you make the body unattainable.

Right? If a lady invented it, it'd be like, normal looking human. Like, we got to make this, like, this is your ideal, and we need to implant it in your head as early as possible. Anorexia be damned, you know? Let's go for this. This is what we're all aiming at.

I know that, like, this has literally happened on a smaller scale several times. You can just puke it up. You can eat. Just puke it up. You're fine. But, like, imagine the first time he designed it, or the first time they saw it. Then there's a table of guys, and one guy's like,

can we make it have a mouth? and somebody's like, why would it need, like, just guys talking about what it should look like. Wouldn't you love to have an audio recording of that room? Some guys like... Tits bigger. A little bit bigger. Yeah. Go a little bit bigger.

Take the nipples off. Yeah, why would we want... What kind of sick of you wanted nipple? Fred wanted nipples on it. Weirdo. Chomo. And this is like the 50s, right? Oh, yeah.

Make the ass smaller. Right, but... Hey, turn the shade down a little bit. A little more, less tan. Make the eyes blue. Also, dead on this day, we have Mickey Mantle. I died of Mickey Mantle's disease. Kenny Baker, who is R2D2 in Star Wars.

I'm in a phase, man. You've been watching a lot of Star Wars? So much. Did you have to have a person play that? Absolutely. Absolutely. You just had to, yeah, it gave it the human element. I guess you just want an AI, Kenny Baker.

That's fine. You want to take jobs from the tiny guys. Speaking of that, I can't. You know what? We haven't even mentioned it today. I'm going to do it three hours in, but there's a tiny guy in the OJ TV show, Juiced. Well, I don't want to say anymore. Anne died on this day in 2018.

I put this in here not knowing if it was worthy, Clayton. Jim the Anvil Needheart. Do we know who that is? Nightheart. Nightheart, that's worthy? Yeah. Okay. The Heart Foundation?

Oh, is that their real last name? Nidehart. Yeah. Oh, interesting. No, no, it's not Nied Hart. He married it. Okay. Because, you know, Brett No one, of course.

which is the one that died on a string. He was hanging on a string. Owen. And that's what happened on this day. That's you. What a jerk. You know, if you are working for an organization that ties you to a string and then drops you and then you die, you can call Frankel and Frankel or your family members are going to do it because you died.

Right. I seriously doubt that's how it was supposed to. go. So it feels like litigation. Someone needs to pay. And Frankel and Frankel is going to help you get that money that you deserve 214 or 817, then all threes. And then just go online, francofirm.com. You can listen to Dan's business Wednesday.

They for real care. They've seen both sides of this thing. They want to help you out. They want to hold people accountable. They're good at it. So let them take care of things. Take it off your plate. 214 or 817 and then all threes.

Who did they hit first, Blake? The Giants.

The Giants, Malik named Marvell Reese. And that's where we, of course. I thought we got to know them from the golf tournament. No. You've run those stories together. That was just the Golf Channel, bud. I don't know why you'd think that. Yeah.

That's just all of the people with disabilities in your head. This whole network is. Yeah. It's just, and that's what we're. where we got the So they have disabled people. They have one guy. And he's the whole network?

Dave. That's how huge he is? Well, he's half of huge because he doesn't have a lower half. So he's interviewing Bryce Young here. Maybe someday you'll be here in enshrined it. I mean, do you think about things like that? Definitely the goal, but that's a long-term one.

You know, can't think too far ahead right. Now it's about being the best version of the team we are. Training Camp's about finding that. So definitely just where my feet are right now. I don't know. Speaking of feet, I don't have any, but I was always wondering if your Hizmann. Oh, okay. That guy handled that well.

Is it in a closet? Is it a paperway? Where do you keep it? My parents have it. The clip I saw, it cuts it off after he says where my feet are to make him look bad. No. And I think that's why the disability guy tweeted the clip out himself. I wanted credit for the line.

I mean, yeah, he's like, yeah, he's like, speaking of it up. And he looks down. And, you know, it's funny because when he looks down, his face, like, hits the ground. I mean, he's on the ground. and he's like, yeah. Bryce Young is kneeling next to him, yeah. And do you think that he went into that, is there any chance,

or is that just such a prevalent quarterback phrase? Or is there any chance that, you know, someone from the receiver room? Don't see. Oh, they said to try and work that in. Yeah. If we were on the team, yes. There's a non-zero chance that we see him.

And we could have him on. Sure, the disability network guy. He sounds like he's touring. He's rolling. So he'll go camp to camp. He'll go camp to camp, though. That's his bit. Looks like it.

He was at the Hall of Fame? He's at the Hall of Fame game. Oh, was it? That's where Bryce Young was, yes. We'll see. It does feel like the draft. That's a cheat code, right? Yeah, I mean, if you're going to be a dude,

you can't have, you can't have to do the jump test. He might as he's going to have no lower half. But to be clear, folks, he's not nubbing. I mean, he's got no lower half. No, there's nothing going to do. Yeah. I don't know I've ever heard of that. Adios, mofo.
