Hello, I'm Dan McDowell, long-time professional broadcaster.
Why subscribe to our Patreon podcast?
Well, perhaps you support our struggle to get out from under the oppressive thumb of a man.
Or, objectively, if you sign up at patreon.com slash the dumb zone,
you will get the two episodes per week that are available on all podcast platforms, like this one,
plus an additional two episodes each week that are exclusive
to Patreon. So subscribing on Patreon gets you four episodes per week. Oh my, what a bargain.

Day...
Son Montu win.
Thur Fry said Son Montu.
11.
11.
Day 11 of the DZRVRT.
That's road trip.
Yep.
And show number 218 overall. Show 11 here. And welcome. I never listen to the dumb zone To the audio medium and ingesting us in that way. But we are live streaming.
So there are some people out there on the World Wide Web
who may be finding us for the first time.
Saying, what are these guys about?
They're probably gone now.
Made it about 10 seconds.
Yeah, it's fair.
They seem to have very little.
But we are at Cowboys Training Camp.
We are in a tent, which is right to the east.
So what the layout is here, but we should walk around with a camera.
Do we have a monkey cam?
We can strap it to the back of a monkey and walk around here.
I'm looking at Jake, the closest thing we have.
To a monkey. To a monkey.
To a monkey.
Like if you
were looking at your bar of soap in the
shower, Blake, would you
say this was a human or maybe
some kind of a
primate was in here using
my soap? Yeah, some kind of hairy primate.
It's fair.
It's like it's just a fuzzy...
Oh, I didn't know I left a loofah in here.
Oh, no, no.
That's my bar of soap that Jake picked up.
Yeah.
Anyway, if we were to put a monkey cam
and let the monkey walk around here,
you would see...
So this is a hotel complex.
It's a Marriott residence inn.
Thank you.
And in the back of the Marriott is, what is there, six, eight, ten tennis courts.
Just a bunch of tennis courts.
But the Cowboys commandeer that,
and they put big giant white tents all over the tennis courts.
And the biggest giantest of the white tents covers all their weights.
So that's where their weight room is. giantest of the white tents covers all their weights.
So that's where their weight room is.
Probably that goes across four or six tennis courts.
Yeah.
And then on a couple here, there's about five tiny tents,
and that's where you've got the ticket radio station or the fan or today the dumb zone or some other places we've never heard of or
there's a serious station i think here whatever and then uh to our also on the tennis court is
there's a podium set up with uh all the chairs set up in front of it and then behind that there
is a another big tent where all the the media goes, the other media.
They've got all their tables set up in there and their computers,
and they can do their stuff.
For the first time ever, or at least we weren't here last year,
so perhaps they had this last year.
So the practice fields, so there's the hotel,
then there's the tennis courts, and then beyond that, there's the practice fields, which are two NFL fields.
Yeah.
And it used to be we could sit in our radio tent and look over and see practice.
Well, no longer, because they have erected these two-story deals where we can't even see the field anymore
because this is all for their VIP guests.
I don't know, man.
It's decked out.
There's couches.
There's beverages.
It's really nice.
Chips.
There's chips.
Every year, it's like they'd say,
well, what can we do to make it a little bit better next year?
And then, or make a little more money next year.
And that's what they keep doing.
So, uh, we're going to try and follow that model.
Yeah.
Right.
Every show, every year, every time you do something, today's a little bit weird.
Uh, just from the standpoint that, uh, like, uh, the Rams coming in here was unprompted.
Yes. Today is another Cowboy Ram practice,
which happened last Wednesday as well.
And last Wednesday, there were a ton of people here.
Whereas today, I don't know if it's because it, you know,
the juice is off post-preseason game
or that it just kind of came about in the last 48 hours,
but there's nobody here today.
Yeah, I feel like the latter.
I'm going with the latter on that one.
Yeah, probably.
Like, people had geared up planning for, hey, there's a Ram scrimmage.
Right.
And there's another one today, but, yes, last Wednesday,
the parking lot was chaos.
Rob had to get here 10 hours prior to it opening and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
But today, like Matt dropped us off uh the great matt grim we just
kind of rolled right in locked right up there's yeah then uh then dan and i got to play a game
uh rob and blake missed out on this um i've noticed this uh from time to time whenever i
when my daughter was playing soccer like i can tell uh when the person who's on the sideline with the siblings is not the parent.
Don't ask me how.
Okay.
I just can.
And, you know.
Like, if it's a nanny?
Yeah.
Okay.
If we're out here today and there are children who are completely blonde hair and they're walking with a Latino woman.
You feel like that's a good tell?
My guess is that's not their mom.
Okay.
It's just a thought.
So now you're claiming you're an expert because of this?
It's very hard to produce.
Or you're just giving the cheat code to others?
It's very hard to produce a Targaryen child if you are of the Moreno persuasion.
Okay.
Just my thought.
Although my daughter has blonde hair.
Yes.
But I saw her come out of the thing, though.
The thing.
Yeah, but you don't know who her real father is.
That's a good point.
That's a very good point.
Probably you.
But then again, it was lab-based, right?
They could have mixed some stuff up.
No doubt.
Could be Blake's kid.
Blake's more blondish.
And you were saying you were donating that week.
Yeah, I donate every week.
Yeah.
I know.
You have so much tea.
Yeah.
You feel like you should spread it around.
So on today's program, we are live streaming,
but we are also going to have a Cowboy player walk up to us at some point.
We're anticipating Jordan Lewis.
We think.
We did get some confirmation this morning from Bront.
We call him the new Joe Trahan.
As Joe Trahan, we've talked about him for years,
was the media guy that we would deal with in getting players over to the table.
And Bront is our new guy.
And he has confirmed this morning.
He says we're all good with J-Lew, as he calls him.
So we can try and use that as well, if you'd like.
I would. What's that? like. Bet I won't.
What's that?
I said bet I won't.
Oh, okay.
I would like to, although this is generally the paywall podcast,
and we'd like to thank each and every one of you,
but we just don't have time to read that many names.
So we would like to thank the sponsors who helped make it possible for us to come out here to cowboys training camp in the dv
excuse me the dz rv thank you uh of course franklin frankl they have uh outfitted us for sure
and they are the place to call
if you do get in an accident.
They're personal injury attorneys.
They're great.
Prosper Ford, who I miss dearly, and I think next year when we come out here,
I will drive the Bronco Sport alongside the RV.
Although I might need, like, Matt's wife or just somebody Matt knows to drive.
Because I really like driving out here
but not driving.
Right.
I like someone else driving.
Right.
I like passenger.
Fair.
In fact, I need to...
I can't wait to get back to my
Sam Ritigliano book that I'm reading.
I need to read a football book
when I'm around football.
Okay.
We're about to get into the years that I remember as a little kid.
About the Browns?
About the Browns.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we started out, you know, pre-Browns, and I didn't have any sports consciousness at
that point.
But we're getting excited, but I'll keep you informed.
Hey, thanks.
Addison Coffee Roasters.
You know, it's weird that they are coming on as a sponsor
because when I would go to Central Market,
that's the kind of coffee I would get anyway.
I didn't realize.
Because I'm an idiot.
I'm like, oh, they're actually local.
They're called Addison Coffee Roasters.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's right there.
Chama Chairs has hooked us up with some very nice chairs.
You may have seen the unboxing on previous live broadcasts.
In fact, right now you can go to chamachairs.com, enter dumb zone during checkout,
and you can get 10% off your Chama Chairs.
The greatest chair, you talk about going to kids' soccer games or whatever.
That's what you should bring out there.
Factor Meals, they've been feeding us throughout this trip as well.
We brought a bunch of those.
That's great for traveling.
FactorMeals.com slash DumbZone50.
Use the code DumbZone50.
You can get 50% off your first box and 20% off your first month.
And then Early Bird CBD has helped get us to sleep on this trip.
In fact, they helped Jake sleep 14 hours or so yesterday.
Really?
Yeah.
That was the count?
Well, I got up at 1.30.
Like we came home from the show and we didn't see him again.
No.
Blake texted me like, should I wake him up before we go to dinner?
And I was like, see, that's a tough one because he might be mad.
Like, dude, I wanted to get sushi.
Why wouldn't you come get me?
I would never be mad.
You knew we had a plan.
I would never be mad.
And then I thought, but then he also might be mad if like, dude,
I had this longest weekend in the world, Disney World, this and that,
driving, finally got some sleep.
I can't fall asleep sometimes.
And with the help of early bird CBD, I now got some sleep,
and then we were waking him up.
That's how effective it is.
Yeah, well, I do appreciate early bird CBD, and the code is dumb zone,
but I'm never going to be mad at you boys.
Never?
No.
I think if I would have woken you up, you would have been mad at me.
I think I would have been fine.
What if you woke him up in that special way?
I think he would have been happy.
Oh, my God.
Stop.
I was trying to haze you.
I hate when you do that thing with your tongue.
Anyway, yeah, earlybirdcbd.com, 20% off your order.
Promo code?
DumbZone.
There it is.
All in a row, like no spaces, correct, I think?
Yes, sir.
Did we all have to wear the same shirt?
It's not the same shirt.
What did I wear?
We're just wearing dark.
If you're watching this on the live stream,
we just look like we have a show uniform.
Spencer McKenzie.
Well, you guys know I'm going to wear black.
I support our friend Jared Sandler and his charity.
And I just love my son so much.
What's yours?
It's a Brooks Koepka shirt that says Team Brooks,
but I would like to say it's for my kid.
I'll change shirts.
Otherwise, Jordan Lewis is going to make fun of us.
Oh, you're so worried about Jordan Lewis making fun of you?
You could only dream that Jordan Lewis would even acknowledge who you were.
You would never.
So because we have Jordan Lewis later, what if we do some cowboy early, like now?
And yesterday we were out on the practice field.
And, you know, when practice breaks up, then it's a feeding frenzy.
The media just has to kind of grab what they can walking off the field.
Yeah.
And there was a time when there would be no way.
I would say all of the time until yesterday.
That you would be able to corral Ezekiel Elliott.
Yeah.
And get him for a few minutes to answer some of your dumb questions.
But, yes, that time is not now.
Now is the time to get Zeke.
And to tell you the truth,
I feel...
We were talking about this at dinner
that you weren't at.
But...
But it feels like Zeke is soaking it all in.
I'm not upset you weren't at dinner.
I'm not mad.
I just thought we were all kind of doing our own thing.
Yeah, I guess I thought we were all doing our own thing
when we all scheduled to be at dinner.
The only one schedule we actually had a reservation.
We made the reservation three days ago.
But the highlight of dinner was trying to watch Blake
eat as much lobster dynamite as he can.
You've seen that before, haven't you?
I have, yeah. Try.
He only got through two, but he finished
two orders before
I finished one.
Two is easy. Yeah, it's the
three is...
Then you do the old...
Different time, do the order. Would you drop it?
I hate that.
Some dad jokes. The waitress comes by and, oh, I see you didn't like it.
Oh, I love that.
Just shut up and take my plate.
He must have been hungry.
He ate so fast.
You weren't very hungry.
Yeah, it's always one or the other.
Leave me alone.
Anyway, what were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, Zeke.
Sushi.
And we were eating with a writer friend of ours.
And just the thought was, Zeke is kind of soaking this in.
It feels like he knows this is his last year.
He knows he's back.
He knows, like, you know, people will ask him questions about, like, this.
You know, it looks like you're the lead back now.
And he's kind of like putting a hand up on that.
Like, nah, you know, look, it's a committee.
And it just feels like, and then stuff we saw yesterday was not that he was
mean to the crowds, but he was more of a, I got stuff to do kind of a guy
where yesterday he was soaking it all in.
He was signing a ton of autographs.
He's saying yes to everybody.
Not just yesterday.
He's done that every single day we've seen him out here.
Really? Have you noticed that?
Yeah, he's gone to the crowd and signed stuff every day.
Including not saying no to Jake.
When Jake is like, hey, what did you say?
Do a couple minutes with us?
And he's like, eh.
Like he didn't say no.
I don't know that he was enthusiastically saying yes.
I don't know that he was that into it, but he was just kind of like, sure.
Yeah, so let's play a little Zeke from yesterday.
This is my friend Dan.
What's up, Dan?
I'm Jake.
Hey, man.
So we're just going gonna run through a couple
things that we do like uh on our show these are like settle a debate for us type things right okay
uh when it comes to parking do you back in yes every time it's easier for me to back in than
cool in especially if i'm driving like a bigger car you think you just whip it well with the
backup cameras now it just kind of does it not does does it for you, but it's a little easier. He's anti-backing in. He would call you a boomer for doing that. But I back in, so I'm with you, man. I park faster when I back in. Okay. When you're at home, do you ever have to go pee and sit down, or do you always stand up and pee? I pee sitting down. I think in the morning. I think in the morning, sit down.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Sitting's the best, man.
Sitting's the best, man.
We have learned.
That's not as cut and dry as you guys thought.
He goes on to explain why he sits.
And if I had his amenities, I might sit too.
It's fair.
The heated.
Yeah.
Okay. Go ahead. Oh sit too. It's fair. The heated. Yeah. Okay.
Go ahead.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
I got the smart toys with the heated seats.
It's so nice.
Oh, dude.
Do you have a dog?
I think we know you.
Yes.
Do you ever have to bathe the dog outside at times when you take it to the groomer,
like it gets in some mud or something like that?
Yes.
So what I do is I get in the shower with the dog,
but I keep on my swim trunks or compression shorts,
and I get in the shower with the dog.
They think it's weird. I won't go naked.
Like if you had to wash your dog in the shower?
Yeah, I'm probably going to have on shorts or underwear or something.
Because you could bump in.
Well, I just don't want my dog trying to lick my junk.
Do you take baths?
No.
Never?
No.
He will take a bath in a hotel room, and I think that's gross, man.
No, I don't like baths.
Not necessary, man.
This one's a bit controversial.
Let's say that hypothetically, I'm a big hip-hop fan.
I'm listening to a song in my car, a certain word, perhaps, that a Luke Schoonmaker or Jake Ferguson or Peyton Hiddershot shouldn't say comes up.
Should I edit it when I'm by myself?
Shannon?
I think you probably should.
Okay, even alone?
Even alone.
All right.
Do the video.
That's not really a debate. I think we agree on that one.
I think we, yeah.
I'm just wondering. Like, ten years ago, I'm not going to lie to you, I probably didn't. Do the video. That's not really a debate. I think we agree on that one. I think we, yeah. I'm just wondering.
Like, ten years ago, I'm not going to lie to you, I probably didn't.
Now I do.
Probably so.
Please believe me.
Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe in ghosts.
Why?
Um, I don't know.
It's just a feeling.
Like, where, have you ever encountered anything?
I haven't encountered anything, but I'm believing in them to give them their respect
so they don't have to show me that they're real.
So just in case, you're being safe.
I'm just being respectful.
Would you ever go skydiving?
Do we just get a laugh?
Do we just get a Zeke laugh there?
No skydiving.
This guy right here has done like 1,500 plus.
No skydiving. Yeah. And I think you had one before. I have a hypothetical, yeah, before we show get a laugh? Did we just get a Zeke laugh there? No skydiving. This guy right here has done like 1,500 plus. No skydiving.
Yeah.
And I think you had one before.
I have a hypothetical, yeah, before we show you a video.
So it's a hypothetical.
You have two girls.
You have to date.
You're going to date one of them.
They're both beautiful.
Okay?
One of them used to be 650 pounds three years ago.
Why did he add 50?
It keeps going up.
She's got her act together now.
One of them three years ago was homeless for two years.
But she's got her act together.
They both have their act together.
They're great.
They both have good jobs.
They're earning.
They're not based on your earnings or anything.
They're great looking.
Great girls, both of them.
Which one do you date?
Um.
I mean, I just, I think it just depends on who treats me the best.
Well, they're both treating you perfect.
See, our debate is that, like, you kind of know that that thing is in both of them.
Like, it could go bad.
The one girl might end up being 650 pounds could go back the one girl might end up being
650 pounds again but the other one might end up i'll tell you the most common answer from your
teammates they say they would go with the girl that used to be 600 pounds because
you never know what you have to he? Get by on the street. Like, so that's why they don't pick the homeless girl.
Um, I mean, I think your past is your past.
Yeah, exactly.
So it really doesn't matter.
Be who you are.
I love it.
All right, I'm going to play you something real quick, okay?
This is the last thing we got.
This is a couple years before you got here.
Do you think Jerry's ever performed a rap verse or been in a rap video?
What?
I wouldn't put it past.
Well, you're gonna watch it.
I think I might have seen this before. Do you know what it is?
I think I know what it is.
Hit.
That's what I'm saying. I think I've seen this
before. Yeah?
Yeah.
This is what they showed you at the draft meeting?
No.
No.
He's kind of killing it.
What do you think?
I like it.
I like it. I like it.
Okay, yeah, that's Zeke.
And there he goes.
Yeah, the hypotheticals that your labia won't let you read,
so apparently I'm the one that has to give the hypothetical.
It's fine to run a little good cop, bad cop scheme.
Yeah, it is.
And you told me you'd never get mad at me, so don't get mad at me.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm the guy asking if I'm allowed to say the N-word.
So that was right when the media guy.
Yeah, I know.
The big boss all of a sudden started walking over.
And I was like, okay, so the hypothetical.
Like I'm trying to say it low.
Because I don't need.
And I love Tad.
He's great.
He loves bits.
He's got a job to do, though.
He loved a 1920s reporter guy back when he was doing it to LeBron.
Tad, their new Rich Dalrymple.
Mostly.
Yeah, all the good parts.
Was the Cavs guy.
Yeah.
So, since LeBron was a rookie, so he knows how to deal with a circus.
He knows how to deal with – in. He knows how to deal with...
In fact, he's got things tight here, man.
The rules have changed around here.
But he also, he's got to step in
if he thinks things are getting out of hand
to show the player that he's there for them
and fighting for them.
Anyway, so that's why I was just kind of...
If you noticed a lack of projection in my voice at that point,
it was because...
Of my labia and Tad being close.
Yes, it's either because of a little kid walking by or Tad is lurking.
It's really weird, man.
Tad was lurking there.
Yeah, for sure.
I was talking to my wife about this last night
while you guys were at dinner that I skipped.
Honey, I couldn't go to dinner.
I had to talk to you, honey.
I just want to talk to you, babe.
Are you touching it?
Touching it?
Is that how you sex talk?
I don't know.
I've never really sex talked on the phone.
I think that's it.
Yeah, I think you just say, are you touching it?
Honey, are you touching it?
But it is like a really weird side piece of our job of like sales.
What?
Like we're so bad at that.
But you have to like force your way in.
Like when Micah was doing his bit yesterday, and then he walks off with Tad,
and I'm like, I'm just going to go try to talk to him.
Yeah.
And Tad's like, no.
Yeah.
And that's 95% of my wife's job is just somebody
being like no no we don't have you know space for you we don't want your bid oh really yeah yeah i
mean you know sales and account management i feel like that's pretty much it and i just i'm so bad
at it dude i don't say no i don't like to say no. Now I like to have Blake say no.
Yeah, we found that out.
I like to have
other people say no
for me.
I filled that role once.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, uh,
I'm the good guy.
But the weird thing, too,
is, like,
Micah,
when I was walking up
yesterday,
like, looked open to it.
Yeah, but he's...
The guy is supposed
to be the guy
and be like, nah, not right now.
The point, though, and I can see Tad's
point, too, is because
he had already... If you say yes to anybody... No, but he had
already approached him.
Micah is open to it, but
he had a podium thing.
He's got an agent thing.
And Tad is not bullshitting
us. No, no, no, no. He's telling us
the truth. He's not like, hey, I'm just going to say this so that they will stop asking me.
Not at all.
So that's also why he probably was annoyed at you, but that's fine.
Your job is to be annoying, and his job is to get annoyed,
and then Micah's job is to just sack the quarterback.
There's also the fact that, you know, I mean, we only come to one camp.
We only cover one team.
But you probably don't have, like, five other teams with more guys that you're like,
what are you going to say?
What do you mean?
Like, just having Zeke and Micah.
Oh, yeah.
Is enough to where it's like, do I have to, you know, be on top of this a little bit?
Was it last night we were hearing about the Micah?
So maybe it was the Rams day.
But it was something recently where all the media relations guys kind of were getting pulled in different directions.
media relations guys kind of were getting pulled in different directions.
And they had kind of lost track that Micah was going to do a little podium.
Okay.
But there was no one with him.
No media people.
Okay.
And this particular writer we were talking to yesterday was like,
it was great.
He was just saying. Nobody's telling him no?
Yeah.
He was just like, he just started talking about whatever.
Like, he's great.
But they sometimes need to put a governor on him to be like,
hey, no, don't say this or don't, you know.
Sure.
And, yeah, they're sitting there, you know, they're corralling, you know,
they're on with Dak.
And I guess Dak.
You don't have to do it with him.
No, but Dak, though, this training camp.
Yeah, he got based.
We've played some of the audio.
You did.
Yeah.
That he has been like he'll look over at the media guy
and he'll be like – like he knows.
I'm going to say it.
What I'm about to say, you don't want me to say.
But then he'll say, hey, whatever team I'm playing for next year,
whatever this – you know, he's like I'm going to start playing negotiating in the media.
Yeah.
If they're going to tell everybody how the pie is only that big
and I'm the guy keeping us from getting a wide receiver, then –
Your holdout is, quote, tweeting the boss.
It's so great.
There's a lot going on.
It's so great.
What were you saying?
You see the fit in oakland or in las vegas for dac where did you think uh yeah i've just seen those rumors because they don't really know
what to do with davante adams he's like the only good player on their offense right but if you had
dac and yeah i've just seen rumors that they're kind of waiting to see how
a certain quarterback situation...
In the NFC East. Yeah.
And that could
be fabricated, but it makes sense.
I highly doubt they're waiting on Danny Dimes.
Where's Shadur?
Like, ranking, like if the draft
was today. I mean,
everyone says top 10.
Really? Yeah, but I mean,
that could change.
How are we going to get up there?
Very quickly either way.
I think we have to trade CD.
They traded Micah
before they traded CD.
Let Micah,
or let Dak go.
You think?
Yeah.
Why?
Money.
They're both going to be
a very similar amount of money.
Michael would be a little bit less,
and he's one year younger.
I just feel like you could...
And they may look at, like,
Sam Williams,
you know. Like, you could trade...
Neyland, I don't know. You can find other
wide receivers. I just know the guy that
has been rumored to be traded is Micah, not
CD. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I just know the guy that has been rumored to be traded is Micah, not CD. Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, the Shadur thing, that could change on a dime, right?
He could end up falling out of day one.
He could end up being number one overall.
I don't think their team's going to be very good.
Dan just wants Dion and Shadur here.
I know.
And I'm with him.
I'm in that camp.
Affleck Stadium.
Let's go ahead and do it.
Oh, you know what else I wanted to make sure we do?
We missed this yesterday.
Let's do viewer mail.
All right.
Oh, yeah.
Wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail.
Because we're kind of a...
Oh, by the way, where's our buddies, Prophets and Outlaws? Hey, Uncle Hotmail Uncle Hotmail, look at me
Oh, by the way, where's our buddies, Prophets and Outlaws?
This is our last live broadcast for the week, correct?
Yes.
We'll have a wrap-up show for you, like Friday.
Yes.
Of our entire two weeks here.
So that's what to look forward to.
I don't know.
It's just what's going to happen.
I don't care if you look forward to it or not.
That would be up to you.
But Prophets and Outlaws,
where are they going to be this weekend?
They're going to be at the Texan
down in Athens.
Where we were?
Saturday?
Saturday.
I believe it's Saturday.
The 17th.
And if I was back, I'd be there.
But I don't know if I'll be back in time.
Maybe I'll just have Matt drive the RV right there.
Fair.
Think I should do some viewer mail?
Yeah, I mean, you kind of called for it.
So I have a lot of birthdays birthdays and i forgot yesterday to do
these i totally missed them no worries and i'm very sorry especially to dzd2 taryn okay you know
her very well not biblically or anything but uh we all know taryn you know i don't know that um
uncle hotmail please wish my bestie Aaron Martino.
So Taryn's best friend is named Aaron.
Aaron and Taryn.
A happy birthday.
She once called me five times in a row to alert me of a must-hear segment
on my favorite midday show.
I'll never forget learning about Dan's top-down method of showering,
and I will forever owe that moment in time to her.
She's a real one and the one I call to discuss dramatic legal battles with clouds.
More brain notes while top-down cleansing.
Don't forget your feet.
Insert norm drop.
Anyway, that's Taryn.
So happy birthday, Aaron Martino.
Yeah, sometimes I do think about your feet.
If they're dirty?
Well, because I feel like if you take a loofah to it,
or the grossest thing you can do is take your nail and just, like, scrape,
you will realize there is a lot of dead skin down there.
Really?
Like, a lot.
My feet have never been cleaner than this week.
Why is that?
Because our drain kind of works.
You just are in a couple inches of water.
Soaking.
Just soapy, nasty water.
Yeah, it's definitely not because somebody put a bunch of pubes in there.
So you know what?
I actually packed.
Didn't need that.
I actually packed my flip flops, my shower shoes, whatever you call them.
And I had bought those years ago because I had heard about, like, if you used a public shower, you could get athlete's foot.
Yeah.
Tough acting, tenactic.
And I got thinking this morning, I haven't heard about athlete's foot in a long...
Was that just a scare thing that didn't really exist?
I definitely had it at one point.
What is it?
It's just a rash.
Yeah, but it itches like crazy.
Yeah, like when I was in high school.
That's a big football two-a-days thing.
Like you kind of get athlete's foot the first week and then you're done.
You're over it.
And in others, you could give the athlete's foot to someone else if you're showering?
Yeah, but at least in my experience, it's not like you had to rub your foot on them.
It would just get in the shower.
Yeah.
Like the fungal bacteria or whatever would just be in the shower.
Like our whole team had it for a week.
And this is gross.
Oh, no.
And I don't care.
But we were talking about peeing in the shower the other day and i had always heard peeing on your feet gets rid of
athlete's foot like a jellyfish i don't know so that's why i've always you're supposed to pee on
a sting that's what i always heard yeah but that, like, even when our shower kind of backs up a little bit,
I'll just pee.
And I'm the bad guy.
I'm helping your feet.
So you're welcome, actually.
Anybody else on my side here?
With what?
I mean, the pee's going down.
Okay, but you're filling the drain with piss.
I would never do that.
You're not getting into my water. Okay. Are you? No, but you're filling the drain with piss. I would never do that. You're not getting into my water.
Okay.
Are you?
No, but I mean, I get in pretty close afterward.
That would be weird.
Sparsh Führer, today is the Michael Jordan of the Birmingham Barons' birthday
of day one DF number 286.
An occasional Dragon Den visitor, Matt Hintz.
You know him well.
Good dude.
I met him at my kid's graduation.
Ah, okay.
The one you left early?
No.
I stayed for the whole thing.
Matt Hintz, his last name because of an H.
He was out of there like a half hour.
Him's not that far off.
He's like laughing at me.
Yeah.
While he left.
Like cackling. That I was, and it's like a million degrees while he left. Like cackling.
And it's like a million degrees.
Outdoor stadium.
COVID.
His wife did not wake him up in a special way
because she's likely piloting
new passengers into the Mile High Club.
But she did
send a long cheesy note to be read.
Happy birthday Matt. may you always remember
i am and will always be younger than you which is not really an own for a lady to say because
you want to have the younger lady yeah i think i don't know not me but most
well you say that but your wife is younger.
I know, but if I could do it all over again, I would.
Okay.
You wish she was older.
I would absolutely target like 49.
Rob, what do you know?
Hook me up.
His leaders are Dan, Jake, Cringe Stories, and Heart Attack Man.
More house tips from Blake.
More Jeff Cavanaugh. And less Aggie bashing. Yeah, Jake, you need More house tips from Blake. More Jeff Kavanaugh.
And less Aggie bashing.
Yeah, Jake, you need to settle down with that.
Okay.
This guy.
Cringe story.
I told you guys that I saw somebody shooting up behind Vons.
Yeah.
This morning I went to Ralph's because it was open earlier and I needed to get some chloroceptic, a little throat spray.
And I saw a guy in the parking lot urinating in a gallon bottle.
He had a car.
You know what?
That's nice that he wasn't just doing it in the parking lot.
I know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Just putting it in a bottle.
I don't know what his plan was post-act.
Like, was he going to dump it out?
Does he carry it?
But I was leaving the parking lot at 6.02 a.m.
And there's a guy just
with his penis in a gallon bottle.
Did you get hard?
Rock.
Hopefully we can crowdsource a dumb zone remote to San Antonio.
Not happening.
That's from FrenchyDay4, number 2486.
My question, my thought, instead of not happening was,
how many 690s would we have to gather together?
I was going to say, let's see your offer.
Yeah. Like if you got 10 dudes that said, I'll throw to say, let's see your offer. Yeah.
Like if you got 10 dudes that said,
I'll throw in 690, are we there? Happening.
Oh, okay.
So Jake can be bought.
The tide has turned.
Three dudes?
We're just negotiating here.
Sure.
Okay.
We got to cover room and board.
And Matt has to drive us.
This is the third one that I missed yesterday, so I'm sorry.
Uncle Hotmail,
my brother Jimmy Miller, it's his
Jimmy Carter birthday.
He's 100?
You may remember Jimmy from his time working
on the Norm show. I do
remember him. Good Longhorn.
Or by getting his Ragonk sign
on game day at the Harvard-Yale
game. Awesome.
I've sent some money to the show's Venmo.
Received.
So that you would be able to purchase Jake his very own toiletries.
The bar of soap should be reserved for when it's just you in the shower.
Body wash for group showers is a must.
Thank you.
In the shower.
Body wash for group showers is a must.
No doubt Blake's face is going to break out if he keeps using Jake's ball soap on his face.
Yeah.
I didn't know we had a group shower sitch going on.
Had I known, I would have left my bar of soap at home.
Keep moosing.
This is from Bruce.
His tag or his handle is
atbuttchuggingsince99.
The original, yeah.
Yeah, I thought about this a lot, and unsurprisingly, I feel like this is Blake's fault.
I don't think you bring a bar of soap in and leave it there to just be like,
hey, I'm the only one who's going to use this.
I think if you leave it there,
in my mind, I was just like,
oh, they left a bar of soap.
So I didn't want to use the community shampoo.
Are you done with this water?
Can I have some?
You just left it here.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, you just left it.
I don't care.
Let me take a birthday break because I have a lot of other emails.
This viewer mail is from the great Lana.
Lana Beck.
She says, Business Wednesday.
While Nestle owns both water products, it is much more economical to source water regionally.
Arrowhead.
Yeah, Lana.
Equals Colorado, Cali, Canada Springs, and Canada.
Ozarka is Texas.
Definitely different taste and mineral content.
Hashtag Blake is right.
Thank you.
Oh, and don't get COVID.
Oh.
I don't think we have COVID.
Jake thought he had COVID.
Yeah, I'm not going to check.
I'm just going to give it to everyone.
Seems like the safest play.
A lot more water emails. So, Blake, remember Blake's big idea is this.
What is your water?
Arrowhead.
Okay, you love Arrowhead.
It's only sand.
It's got mountains, spring water, some BS.
And it's on sale at Vons for $4.99, or maybe it's even $3.99.
$3.99.
For a case of 24.
Hell of a deal.
And then, so he has bought 20 of these and has loaded up the DZRV for the ride home.
And I said, man, that's going to cost us extra money because of the gas in taking extra cargo.
And he says, no, because Jake won't be there.
How much do you weigh?
Two honey?
Unfortunately, right at about two honey right now.
Okay.
And Blake said,
well, that water, that'll just offset.
And I
nodded, thinking
that makes sense. Yeah, of course.
Well, there
are people listening that don't just nod
and believe everything that they hear.
They have calculators. It would appear.
Jameson says, after research, each case of Arrowhead weighs roughly 25.4 pounds.
No way.
Which is 24.4 pounds of water plus packaging.
I don't know what he's saying there.
Anyway, he adds it all up and he says that would equal 508 pounds.
Damn it.
Garrett emailed in.
Your favorite.
That 20 would be 480 bottles of water.
He did 16.9 fluid ounces, weighing 1.08 pounds each.
He says that would equal 518 pounds, but they're both within 10 pounds of each other.
Yeah.
What we're looking at here is 500 pounds, so 300 extra pounds.
I've done the research.
Yeah.
And that would be approximately $2,000 more in gas on the way.
So you're paying...
Can I fix this wrong?
What?
You're paying.
Can I fix this wrong?
What?
The point is, you're paying so much for this goddamn water that you need to mule.
You know what?
You're right.
I'm being a bad person. Why don't I just fly back and save the weight, and then I'll come get it from the house Friday.
Deal?
I'm so glad this is our last day.
I know.
I hate Blake now.
Hey, yesterday.
The hard thing about it is just that I'm a team player.
And to have that be smirched is just tough.
Oh, let me get back to a couple birthdays.
No acknowledgement of me being a team player.
You're not riding back on the RV.
You're not a team player.
Nope.
Did you check in for your flight?
No.
I'm going to have to sit in Phoenix for six hours, guys.
You'll be hanging out together.
Good day, Uncle Meathole.
Meathole?
DF number 208, Kyle Roethlisberger writing in to wish Chris a happy birthday.
We did the 690 sit-in with our good Plano homie, Brandon Aubrey.
Yeah.
Oh, right on.
Sorry we didn't bring gifts, but we're more bug chasers.
It's Chris's Brandon Aubrey plus Darren McFadden birthday.
So he's hoping for a moose reverse moose combo tonight.
Hope y'all stack the RV to the brim Nate Newton style and make it THC DZ RV.
His leaders are Jake's dog cyst projectile secretion.
Rocky five age realism.
And the lake house threesome.
Happy birthday, Toffee, from Kyle Roethlisberger.
Tio Correo Caliente, hoy es mi cumpleaños de reino maje.
Hashtag fly eagles fly.
Mis lideres son los huevos de marcelo gallardo senior uh hot spice uh oatmeal pizza e jeff skin wade os quiero a todos y vamos river plate
from tommy ginsburg jr not tommy ginsburg like you might have thought i might have thought Vamo River Plate from Tommy Ginsberg Jr.
Not Tommy Ginsberg.
Like you might have thought. I might have thought, yeah.
But it's Jr. He's a good dude.
Hello guys, I hope this email
finds you at a standard level of happiness.
My husband Justin is 43.
He listens
to your podcast every day but doesn't claim to be
a day one poser
We are very familiar with the RV life
As we are full time RV travelers
Man that's young for that
Originally from the DFW area
We are now on the road full time
And currently listening to you from southern Colorado
Thank you for keeping my husband
Occasionally entertained
From Justin's loving wife, Allison.
The best we can do.
My brother,
Alan Stein.
It is his
Randy White birthday.
Leaders are
Roger Staubach,
Vince Young,
and Ken Burns.
Eclectic.
He wants more TC
from Craig and Austin.
And final birthday email,
dear Gashmasher.
Okay.
Have my video.
I have a viewer mail video I'll need for this one, Rob.
Have that ready.
Sam Bailey here.
It's not of mashing Gash, is it?
My good friend Chris Plonty.
Oh, no.
Yeah, this will come next.
Plonty. Oh no, yeah, this will come next. Plonty is turning 40.
His leaders are Jake's Canal
Side Buffet Table and Julie.
Doesn't have
anyone to make him up in a special way, so he
moosed himself this morning.
He's very flexible. Your other hand
though. He shares a birthday
with my wife Molly.
So happy birthday to her or whatever
I guess. That's from Sam
Bailey. So he's more concerned with his
friend, Chris Plonty.
For what it's worth, Matt says, please
tell Blake...
Please tell Blake that AD is not after
death. It is
Anno Domini.
Latin for Year of our Lord.
I mean, will you tell Blake?
Please tell Blake.
Well, I got probably...
Even though it's something that all of us screwed up.
I got probably like 10 of these.
Yeah.
But I wanted to highlight the one I got from Cam,
because he says,
if you ever need an expert to consult with
regarding obscure Latin phrases
as it relates to historical timekeeping specific to potential messianic figures,
feel free to give me a call.
Yeah, we'll call you, Cam.
Sounds great.
Actually, someone else had emailed me, Carter, about –
is it Bill Masterton,
the only NHL on ice fatality?
Yeah.
He said, since you guys have said hockey players
are the most superstitious of all the athletes,
I would speculate the retirement of the number
has to do with making sure no one ever wore the number
of the guy who died on the ice rather than celebrating
his 40-game career.
Carter then says, if you guys ever need a retired number expert,
feel free to reach out.
Okay, that's a great bid.
I'm getting a lot of those lately.
That's very good.
That's very good.
And now, actually, I did want to play the...
So somebody had sent us a video.
Let me see if I have the guy's name.
This is from Chase Brown, who sent us this video slash audio.
Go ahead, Rob.
Hey, what's going on?
This goes out to the dumb zone this is anthony anderson and i want to congratulate dan jake aka hot spice
and blake for making it out safely to oxnard california in the dz rv for their first cowboy
training camp as hosts of the dumb zone oh yeah. I'm also happy to know that you like
my griddles now. Peace.
Heck yeah. Yeah, fantastic.
Cameo apparently still...
I think they ended up in court.
Who? Cameo, not Antoine.
With what?
I don't know. It's like anything.
And that's why I know we're okay.
They made like a lot
of money, like really quickly.
Those people usually end up in court.
We've made nothing.
So probably safe from another court thing.
Antoine, though, that's cool.
We saw him one time talking to Tim Brown while we were talking to Larry the Cable Guy.
Oh, that's right.
He was at the golf tournament.
Probably, pound for pound,
my favorite season of television of all time.
Season four of The Shield.
Was he also in Harrod and Kamar?
Was he the guy at the White Castle at the drive-thru?
That sounds right, yeah.
But that was pretty early on.
I wonder if I could play this scene.
Am I up, Blake?
Go for it. Is this gonna get us
booted? Probably.
Probably, then I won't do it.
Season 4, though, is when Antoine
gets to Shane.
It's hard for me to remember. In Season 5
is Forrest Whitaker.
He's very underrated. Oh my god, dude I just know the shield is... Forrest Whitaker. Is very underrated.
Oh, my God.
Which one was Glenn Close after Forrest Whitaker?
Four with Antoine.
Okay.
I want to say, yeah.
Great show.
Brought in the lazy eye.
Yeah.
Cameo.
Yeah, right?
I remember your you know,
your Saroy, Julie,
maybe even like Donovan was doing it.
I'm like, I don't know, something...
It feels...
But even like Troy was doing it,
and it was like $1,000.
Right.
No, if I was going to do it,
I would not want to do it.
I don't know.
It just seems pretty spare.
Now, don't mark this audio,
because I'll be on there
two months.
Hey, man.
Happy birthday.
Dan from the Dumb Zone.
How you doing?
I don't know, man.
It just seems...
It's like...
That's like what we were talking about
with asking for players.
It seems like selling
your Super Bowl ring or something.
I would sell that the next day, dude.
Would you?
Yeah.
Literally nothing is worth anything more than
someone will give you for it.
Why?
What are you going to do with it? You don't have any
sentimental value to anything?
Nope. None.
I'll give you $20 for your
pizza jacket.
Well, I mean, I would sell it to you,
but it's not going to be for $20.
So there is a price for the Micah Parsons pizza jacket.
Or one of the kids.
I don't give a shit.
Like, let's talk.
They're white.
They're super pure.
Blake's coming up with a number.
For the youngest one, you may have to pay me I know that's kind of part of the problem
The freight charge
We got another email from a guy who wants to play you in college football Blake
Are you up for challenges?
Let's do that tonight
Yeah Okay sorry I fell asleep
the one time that you
were apparently available for recreation.
Man.
My room is an absolute mess, and so
every day,
these fucking guys,
especially Matt.
He's the problem.
Uh-oh.
First blemish for Matt?
Oh, no.
The campaign takes a hit.
Migba.
Matt is great, but. But, you know, Migby.
So he, the whole thing is, and I know what they're doing behind my back.
I know these guys.
They huddle up.
Who's going to tell them?
And then they all
nominate Matt to tell
him because Matt
doesn't have to work
with me next week.
Okay.
And so Matt, this
was like five days
ago.
He's like, yeah,
we've been talking
about, I think we
might be able to make
the trip in two days
because it was a
three-day trip out
here.
And I knew Blake
had planted this in
his head because
Blake's got to get
back to his wife.
He has to see his wife. What a homo. I know.
Queen.
Jeez.
We are wearing on each other. Go on.
So Matt's
like, yeah, we're thinking about leaving and
we're going to leave at
he said it would be 5.30.
And he goes, but that's 7.30 Dallas.
And I thought, you know what?
I mean, I don't prefer that, but I want to get up, get moving, eat.
But that is when we left to get here.
So I think that's fair.
I am pretty much staying on Dallas time. I'm still
waking up at 7. Sure.
6.45 or 7. That's when I've been getting
up every day. I'm actually sleeping great out
here. Okay. So
I'm thinking, okay.
I can do that. And then we talked
about it again like a day or two later.
And it was like, oh yeah, yeah. So we
agree we're leaving at five
and then and that's seven and i'm like i know he specifically said five because i put it in my head
the other day that it was a uh the exact time we were leaving on sunday so i i really my schedule
didn't change but okay all right and then in my head i'm like i guess i can adjust to that all
right i'll give these guys that. Fine.
And so we're at dinner last night, and then our writer friend was asking what we're doing and when we're leaving and stuff, and he's like, oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, we're leaving at 4 a.m. Thursday.
I'm like, wait.
He's now backed it up.
Yeah, didn't even do the half hour on that.
No, didn't even half hour me.
And now it's just like we've already all talked about it.
Hey, Rowdy.
These guys are all nodding and everything's cool.
Hey, what's going on, man?
Hey, dude.
You want to hop on camera real quick?
Remember when you were in that strip club?
Yeah.
Say hi.
It's Rowdy.
It's Rowdy.
Rowdy of the Cowboys.
There's your display monitor. I think he was not the guy at the club. No. That was a's Rowdy. It's Rowdy. Rowdy of the Cowboys. There's your display monitor.
I think he was not the guy at the club.
No.
That was a different Rowdy.
Yeah, probably so.
Yeah.
Although maybe he wants to be known as the guy at the club.
Oh, you can go.
You don't have to go.
You just stand there all year.
You want to sit here?
Do all you want.
He is Rowdy.
All right, man.
What were we just talking about? Oh, yeah. So now, like, I imagine they're going to be pulling me out of bed at, right, man. What were we just talking about?
Oh, yeah.
So now, like, I imagine they're going to be pulling me out of bed at, like, 2.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll call you.
You should just stay up.
The thing is, we had said...
Don't look at me.
I thought it'd be funny.
I was thinking, if we could clear the RV bed...
Yeah.
I will absolutely go sleep there, pack tonight,
and then all of a sudden I'll kind of wake up because I'll feel it moving a little.
Like a child.
Yeah, and I'm on board with that.
Then I'd never have to move.
Want me to do that?
Want me to try and sleep in the RV bed?
You're going to hate it.
Yeah, so just to be clear, they're going to move all their stuff around
completely reorganize all
the equipment.
He's got all his gear
back there.
He'll probably have to
he probably can't go to
sleep.
And there's six cases of
water on the bed.
Yeah.
There's five hundred and
eighteen pounds of water
that he has to.
Sorry.
Deadlift so that Dan
can get a little hour nap before his next McGriddle.
I'll get up.
The point is, these guys keep moving the goalposts.
Okay, but there's no show to do.
Just stumble onto the RV and we can leave.
And then you can go right back to sleep.
I know I don't have to mess with you.
I want to mess with you. I to mess with you I love messing with you
And you're leaving me with these guys
You're the only one that's somewhat on my side at times
I know I thought about that
Because Rob is over there with Matt
He's got a new best friend he don't care about us at all
Yeah
And Blake is like a chameleon you know how he
Agrees with whoever he's with
Like if he's with me and you he'll be be like, oh, yeah, Rob and Matt.
That guy sucks.
But there's two of them and one of you.
Yeah.
No, that's not good.
Why don't you wake your ass up?
I will admit that's the worst part of this.
And he wants to be liked by the guys that are like men.
It sucks, too, because I swear to God, whenever I was with my family this weekend,
also another time that I deserted the show, I was like, man, I miss my boys.
And now I'm like, I'm leaving,
and I'm going to get charged with being a deserter
when in reality I want to be with you guys.
You know?
Yeah, that makes us feel better.
Yeah, it's great.
I just got a text.
So this will prove that I haven't talked to my wife very much.
I don't think anybody was really looking for that to be verified.
Okay, well, you know I didn't call her until five days in.
Yes.
Sunday to Thursday.
Correct.
We did a little texting.
Texting.
Yeah.
Want to see some saggy balls?
Did you ask her to touch it?
Yeah, absolutely no one prefaces that.
Have you touched it today?
Dude, we should all fire off a sex tonight and see what happens.
Hey, will you touch it for me?
Hey, you want these nuts?
Just to see what happens.
What do you got?
Anyway, she just texted me, when are you coming home today?
I think she thinks I'm coming home today.
But the thing is, I told Blake this this yesterday so i think it was yesterday so after five days i thought another five days then i'll
call her again but i went out on a walk get a lot of steps in while making some calls it's great yeah
so i called her but it went to voicemail and my wife is
I know her game
and I know like if she's on the phone with her mom
she doesn't know how to put it on hold
without hanging up on her
so she will just let it go to voicemail
and
it was prime time where she could talk
you know it was like 4 or 5pm
and then
she called me back
but now i was in the car on the way to dinner with the guys no go and i can't answer it then
and but i but i'm i figured i'm good because i called even though she called me back literally
five minutes later you've already checked the box like just that I attempted and she knows. And then now I get apology texts from her like, I'm so sorry I missed your call.
And I'm like, who's the winner?
Yes.
Fantastic.
God, you know I have limited time.
You know we're busy out here.
I love it.
We're mining for gold.
We're doing a bit like I'm at the whims of the Cowboys schedule.
I don't know that it's a practice.
Maybe you've heard of them.
Yeah.
Kind of a big deal.
Yeah.
The Dallas Cowboys.
That's great.
So somehow she ends up being upset that she has.
God, I miss that feeling.
Of winning?
Yeah.
I'm siphoning off a little bit just hearing you talk about it,
and it's been a long time.
Wake up.
It's birthday at kindergarten.
I'm like, I'm awake already.
Just tell me when it's time to talk.
All right, so I think we're looking for Cowboy Player Man in about a half hour.
Who knows?
Ish?
Yeah, that's the plan.
Okay, so let's work in a break so we can drain the main vein.
Broadcasting live today on the internet and, of course, live to tape for our good friends listening through Patreon.
The Dumb Zone.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone.
This is not you today.
The Dumb Zone.
Not as much, no.
The Dumb Zone.
The Dumb Zone.
The Dumb Zone.
No, I think your voice sounds great.
Thanks, man.
Appreciate that.
It's after he got erect after seeing that guy pee in that water thing.
Don't fuck me.
Yeah, it's our last day out here at Cowboy Training Camp.
What's your favorite moment, guys?
What are you thankful for?
Go around the table.
What's your favorite
part of training camp
this year?
I haven't thought of this.
I just thought of it now.
I think it's just
spending time with my friends.
I was going to say
yeah just the bonding.
I was going to say
playing NCAA and Mad
in my room by myself.
Everyone's got their thing
man.
That's OK.
I was you know
probably my haircut.
I know what yours is already
and you won't say it on the air.
Go on.
No.
He's got, well,
I don't know if he wants it on. You said before the show
that you missed Pornhub.
I think that was on the show.
No. Was it? No.
So we know what, yeah, Jake was holed up in his room for like 12 hours yesterday.
Now we know why.
Just every hour, like shake two.
I'm like, well, time to punch the clock.
So it's there though, huh?
All its glory.
Oh, you don't know.
Right in there.
Okay.
I don't know.
I'm just, I'm up there studying, man.
It's just.
Studying the Cowboys.
It's just a very easy.
I'm studying their DVOA.
Easily navigable, navigationable browser.
Defense value over adjusted.
You think I didn't know that?
I didn't.
That's why Jake is here. To tell me everything that I don't know.
And then Blake is here to tell us things that the two of us don't know.
Correct.
And so on, and we go to Rob, and then you go right up to Matt, who knows everything.
We are considering, I mean, if Matt would do it,
I don't know that we want to sign the contract today,
but you were talking about doing this again next year already.
I think so.
Let's see how he gets us back first.
Yeah, we were going to book Matt on today's show,
and then that's what Blake's thought was.
Let's do it next week.
You're ready to hand him the award now. I just want to see the end of the season. Well, you did say Blake's thought was. Let's just do it next week. You're ready to hand him the award now.
I just want to see the end of the season.
Well, you did say he's the MVP.
He's the frontrunner, for sure.
But if we can't get home.
But if that generator doesn't work on the way back again.
That's not his fault.
It's not his fault.
RV problems are.
Yeah, they're not our fault.
All we know is it's not our fault.
I didn't buy an RV.
And I mean, to me,
it's a huge, huge thing
that you guys are going to be about
518 pounds less on the way home.
Now,
do I want to do that?
No.
We're not 518 pounds.
We're 300 pounds more.
We're losing 200 pounds. We're gaining 500. I justpound pounds. We're 300 pounds more. We're losing 200 pounds.
We're gaining 500.
I just want to help you guys out.
I mean, it could be 700.
Okay, that's cool that you would say that.
Jake, of course, is –
Enjoy your first class and air conditioning and internet.
You know what's funny is –
He's not even going home to his wife and kids.
He's just going to boys weekend.
TC actually asked me the other day
if I would be mad if he got
a free complimentary upgrade.
I'm like, yeah, of course I would be.
And didn't give it to you?
No, no, no, like for him.
I guess if you have the credit card.
For what? For the flight?
Yeah. Well, you're not going to be on the flight together, are you?
No, but I think it probably qualifies for both.
Are you taking an RV back?
Okay.
Oh, you're flying home.
Yeah.
It must be nice.
In fact, someone was asking me yesterday because I have to...
So I get back, as you guys know.
So I'm driving from California
to Dallas and then Thursday I'm driving from Dallas to New York to take my daughter to college
okay I know beating oh I guess Blake and I'll just figure it out
beating.
I guess Blake and I will just figure it out.
I want to play. Well, it's fun.
I guess somebody should...
I just thought I could get my first day off of the show ever.
You went to France.
If I'm the one guy that doesn't get a vacation.
That's true.
I did have two shows that I didn't do.
Yeah.
Right?
Two shows.
Okay.
You're irreplaceable.
That's a thing.
You just mean too much to our show.
It means more.
But anyway, he was like, oh, man, I bet you're glad at least you're not driving in the RV to New York.
And I said, no, I'm not glad.
Like, just the stress of driving.
Yeah.
Like, I don't mind the RV trip.
I really, oddly enough, don't mind it.
Besides having to leave at 2 effing in the morning.
It's not 2, but.
It's that I'm laying there.
I'm reading the San Martigliano facts.
I'm on my phone.
I'm doing whatever.
Like, I thought it was great.
Like, if I could just travel everywhere.
If we could get the Angelo Cataldi deal and have a driver, that would be great.
What if Matt would just drive us every day to wherever we had to go?
I bet he would.
That's how cool that guy is.
And then he would just sit in the parking lot to wherever our remote is or something,
and he'd just do his business.
He's on the computer.
Trading.
Numbers are happening and stuff.
In the time that we went somewhere for a 690 remote,
he would have made 10 times that much on Internet with whatever he does.
Yeah.
I wish he would teach us about stuff.
What's up, man?
Yeah, yeah. Come on in. Oh, no. he would teach us about stuff. What's up, man? Yeah, yeah.
Come on in.
Oh, no.
Don't.
You're good.
What's up, man?
I'm Jake.
Oh, I'm Jordan.
Jordan.
Nice to meet you, bro.
Hey, man.
Dan.
Hey, Blake.
Nice to meet you.
Blake.
That's Rob.
We got a headset down there for you.
And what we have here.
We got you a Tumblr.
That's tough. I've never seen that before. Yeah, we have a little Tumblr for you to And what we have here. We got you a tumbler. That's tough.
I've never seen that before.
Yeah, we have a little tumbler for you to your right.
And some mints.
Can you get this from Best Buy?
This camera?
Unique item.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is Jordan Lewis.
He's a real live Dallas Cowboy.
Fresh off of training camp practice.
Your second one with the Rams.
Do you like that?
Yeah. You get to beat up on somebody else. Instead of friends?
Yeah.
Any fights or anything? That's what we
usually look forward to when a different team comes in here.
No, I think we're getting
serious trouble nowadays.
It's not like the early 2000s.
You can't just fight everybody.
The Giants and
Lions found that out, right?
Yeah.
No, you can't do that. Did you guys get like a
team? We did.
After that, they sent you guys down and were like,
this is dollars. Yeah.
Dollars a mile. You can't do that no more.
You're going to foot the bill. You start fighting
out here. Have you ever been fined?
All the time.
For what? Anything. Anything from uniform, You're going to foot the bill. You start fighting out here. Have you ever been fined? All the time. Yeah.
For what?
Anything from uniform to headbutting somebody.
Wait.
Yeah.
Let's expand on these.
So what was the uniform thing?
Not having your pads on your knees and stuff like that.
Not having your socks pulled up all the way.
Different things like that. So you get fined every game.
How much? Do you wear knee pads? things like that. So you get fined every game. How much?
Do you wear knee pads?
I do not.
So what's the problem?
You got to have them, like, it has to look like they're over your knees.
Your pants have to be over your knees.
Okay.
And how much is the fine for that?
That's $6,000.
Jeez.
Dang.
So, and you just say I'm writing it off for every game?
I kind of get a, stealing my tricks, man.
I got to go out there and play a season
and try to trick these officials and stuff like that.
But, yes, I pull them down.
We get checked before the game.
And then our equipment manager, Dylan, he comes around and tells us,
you know, okay, you're good.
And I roll them back up.
Okay.
I would think even like when you're just running, they would roll up.
Yeah, exactly.
Like already. You can blame it on that too. I was in a game. Okay. You can appeal. I don't know when you're just running, they would roll up. Yeah, exactly. Like already.
You can blame it on that, too.
I was in a game.
You can appeal.
I don't know how many times you can appeal, but I think I've done it more than once.
And then fine for the other.
What was the other thing?
I got in a little scuffle, and I headbutted a guy.
It was out of character.
I don't know.
Heat of the moment?
Between the lines?
Yeah.
Bullets are flying? Between the lines, the whistle was done. Okay, yeah. I was trying of character. I don't know. Heat of the moment? Between the lines? Yeah. Bullets are flying?
Between the lines, the whistle was done.
Okay, yeah, I was trying to elevate.
Yeah, so I deserved that one.
I took that one on the chin.
I didn't try to appeal that one, though.
That was actually against the Giants, too.
So I don't know what it is.
The Giants just attract fights.
And when you appeal, does it like, hey, my agent will handle the appeal? Or do you have to, like, go in and act like you're all?
So I tell my agent I want an appeal list or something like that,
and we go in there and appeal it.
And I get a letter if they say my appeal was accepted or granted,
or if it wasn't, I got the big tally of how much I owe.
How much in fines for your career do you know?
Over $100,000?
No, no, no, no, probably like $30,000 maybe. Okay. $30,000 is not bad for eight years. Yeah, no, no, no. Probably like 30 maybe.
Okay.
30 is not bad for eight years.
Yeah, no, that's great.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Armand Raw was on the pivot and said that you're a talker.
Hold on.
Did you hear that?
I did.
Well, if you didn't, we're going to play it.
Oh, anyway.
If someone else didn't hear it, I got it.
I'm from Detroit, bro.
People are going to send it to me.
Okay.
Who's your least favorite DB to face?
Least favorite?
One guy that comes to mind is Jordan Lewis, I think, is his name, from the Cowboys.
I don't talk much unless someone's going to talk to me.
You know, I block hard.
I do all that.
But he was talking crazy.
Like, some shit I've never heard before.
I'm like, yo, hold on.
I'm going to have to go hard on this. Like, he was talking crazy out of pocket. I'm like, yo, hold on.
I'm going to have to go hard on this.
He was talking crazy out of pocket.
Even Jamo heard it too.
He was coming in.
At that point, it's like, I don't know what he's saying.
I'm trying to make plays, win the game.
I'm not worried about him.
But once he starts talking like that, if I do get a chance to kill him,
I'm going to kill him.
Something Amon Ra, St. Brown, has never heard before. Yeah. I'm'm going to kill him. Something Amon Ra, St. Brown has never heard before.
Yeah, I'm not going to expound.
Oh, I like this.
How did you know where I was going? I don't know.
As soon as you played the clip, I knew exactly where you were going.
But I knew that I know I'm playing him again.
So I got to, you know what I mean?
I can't give you all of my secrets.
See, you're trying to get all my secrets.
I can't give it to you.
Oh, yeah.
It is kind of cool that they're good now.
It is.
And I like the fact that he said the least favorite.
I didn't know that part.
I like that part.
Like you got in his head.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
That's exactly why.
You're never supposed to admit that.
No, he did.
No, I can't stop.
I can't stop.
Is that always part of your game?
No.
Just chatter?
No.
Certain people.
If I have some type of vendetta, like anybody from Detroit.
I'm from Detroit.
Detroit didn't pick me.
I love Dallas, don't get me wrong, but it's just Detroit.
And they're good now, so I'm just like, I'm going to talk mess to their best receiver.
So as the draft was there, you were like, that'd be cool to be picked by my favorite team.
It would have been cool.
But it worked out because they had, like,
three different, like, regime changes since I've been drafted.
You still get to play on Thanksgiving.
Exactly.
There you go.
Yeah, and AT&T is not in for a few.
So, I'm not – take that as you will. But, yeah, it was a blessing to be in Dallas, definitely.
So, I'm glad I am where I am.
I get to play Detroit every once in a while.
It's got to be kind of weird growing up there.
Like for us, we're from Dallas.
For me, it was like Houston rap music.
Was it just like you had to love Eminem and Royce and all that?
Not so much as Eminem.
It was a lot of different influential artists that we listened to that grew up around where we grew up.
Not saying that Eminem didn't, but he was just, you know, he was like the outlier.
Of course, he was a mainstream guy, but we had our own underground scene that we listened to.
And the guys on the Lions, some of them hang out with him, and I'm kind of jealous.
Not much going on in Dallas.
We got some stuff.
We got Big X to plug and stuff like that.
Big fan?
Yeah, Mexican OT.
So we got some guys.
So I've never had a chance to ask another Cowboys defensive back about this,
but Anthony Brown, you keep in touch?
That's one of my best friends.
Okay.
The tattoo?
Yeah.
The chip?
You know him. The chip. Yeah. Is it a joke? No, he has a chip on his shoulder. The tattoo. Yeah. The chip. You know, yeah.
The chip.
Yeah.
Is it a joke?
No, he has a chip on his shoulder.
I know, but.
No, he literally has a chip on his shoulder.
I know, but.
It's a Pringles chip, right?
It's a ruffle.
It's a chip.
It's a ruffle.
It's a ruffle with ruffles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like the funniest tattoo I've ever.
Is he doing it like ironic?
That's not what that means.
It's literally.
It's a chip.
It's ironic.
Yes, it's irony.
Like, he realizes he didn't think the saying was about potato chips.
It's an entendre.
You know what I'm saying?
We can say a chip.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Okay, yeah.
So, he has a chip on his shoulder.
Yeah.
I like it.
I love it.
You know what I mean?
It's a great tattoo.
Definitely underrated guy, man.
He wasn't appreciated when he was here, how well he held it down.
And we saw when me and him went down, you know,
how hard it was for the guys to, you know, get a corner rotation that worked.
So, you know, he's definitely one of my, you know, favorite, you know,
corners to watch because I know how hard he is and how hard he works
and how, you know, efficient he is at cornering.
He doesn't really get noticed for it.
He only gets noticed when things are getting bad.
I mean, but, you know, that's the Cowboys.
It's also DBs.
Yeah.
You're not going to see when we're doing good all the time.
Yeah.
Unless we get an interception or something like that.
Yeah.
And then if you are doing good, sometimes it's like, well,
they don't have any passes defensed.
That's because they're not going to throw at you.
Yeah.
So.
I think Deion was targeted like ten times in a full season one year.
There you go, man.
Yeah.
What's Harbaugh like?
Oh, man. We're very amused by him. man. Yeah. What's Harbaugh like? Oh, man.
We're very amused by him.
Really?
Yeah.
He's one of my favorite persons.
Yeah, well, no, I love that he –
I like to wear the same thing every day.
Does he do that?
Yes, he does.
Okay.
Khakis with a black belt.
Okay.
And he wears his cleats on the airplane, on the charter plane.
Really?
I swear to God.
That's a true story.
What's the point of that?
Game ready. Get the mindset. You see your head coach on the charter plane. Really? I swear to God. That's a true story. What's the point of that? Game ready.
Get the mindset.
You see your head coach on the charter plane with the fuck.
I'm sorry.
Excuse my French.
I think you're fine.
Okay.
You're good here.
With cleats on, it's like, oh, shit.
You want to go play a football game.
You know what I'm saying?
That is him.
He's intense, 110%.
He will coach without getting paid. That's what he loves to do. I'd like to see that. He's intense, 110%. Like, he will coach without, you know, getting paid.
That's what he loves to do.
Yeah, I'd like to see that.
He ain't going to do that.
I know what you mean.
Yeah, I'm just messing around.
He's a crazy man.
It's a fine line.
You know it's like genius and then, like, psychotic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's teetering.
He's teetering.
Yeah, there was that video of him the other day, like, on the sled.
He was on the sled beginning of camp. And I know, God bless teetering. Yeah, there was that video of him the other day, like, on the sled. He was on the sled beginning of camp.
And I know, God bless the Chargers, I know they having it rough.
I know they got it rough right now.
So you committed to Michigan before Harbaugh, and then he came in.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I know the transfer portal wasn't like it is now back then.
We actually had a few people transfer.
Okay.
But as soon as you met Harbaugh, were you like, okay, I love this guy.
I'm staying.
Yeah, I liked that, you know, he had a pro-like approach.
I mean, the practices were crazy.
We practiced four hours in the spring, and we got an Ironman trophy.
We made it all the way through spring.
So it was crazy, but you can tell, like, if you last it, you will win, you know.
And he had a system in place to where he understood how to win
and he understood how to get people going for the game and stuff like that.
So if you stayed, which a lot of people transferred.
A lot of people transferred for their fifth year and stuff like that.
And you can see the bearings of his fruit.
He knows how to win.
What do you think about the portal now and NIL?
It's free agency now, bro.
Do you like it?
It's free game.
Yeah.
For the guys that can take advantage of it, that understand that, you know,
they have a value and they can get some money, yeah, I get it.
But the guys that's like on the lower scale, like the three stars
or something like that, or the guys trying to get to college, like from high school, it's kind of hard because everybody's looking at transfers.
They're looking at five, you know, five-year guys and stuff like that.
Now they're not looking at the recruits, the kids that, you know, are coming from high school and straight to college.
So it's kind of hard for those guys.
But, you know, it's capitalism, honestly.
But I know I enjoy it.
I like the guys.
They're getting money. And I just want But I know I enjoy it. I like the guys. They're getting money.
And I just want them to be smart about it.
And, you know, I want guys to get fair opportunities to, you know, experience,
you know, the type of experience I had in college,
especially guys that's coming from high school straight to college.
What do you tell young guys that get drafted here?
Like is there anything you wish somebody would have told you um that you weren't
ready for or do they do they prep you pretty well when you get here uh you gotta you always gotta
find your way through you know it's always a specific journey that you have to go through
um being a dallas cowboy and in general i mean specifically um and i honestly i wish somebody
would just tell me just keep your head down honestly and just and worry about football
um because it's a lot of things that goes around the star,
and I'm pretty sure it goes around a lot of NFL teams.
But, you know, just staying focused on football, keeping your head down,
trying to learn as much as possible.
I feel like that's something that I wish I would have did because, you know,
I saw the stars and stuff like that, and, you know, I got too big for myself,
and it kind of derailed me for a while.
But, honestly, I just wish I'd just go in there and just focus on football,
just look at the film and stuff like that,
and focus on what really needs to be done, which is playing football.
Because you will mix it up on Twitter every now and then.
Yeah, yeah.
I found my balance now, you know.
I found it as a veteran now.
I found that, you know, you can get a perfect balance
where you can troll a little bit and you can work.
So I think I found it.
I think I found it a little bit.
Is it fun?
Oh, I love it.
Oh, man, people react.
Oh, it's terrible.
They hate how I tweet.
Well, I enjoy it, man, because, I mean,
I'll just go in there and joke, man, blow off steam,
you know, long practice and stuff like that.
I just want to see people's reaction.
And then it becomes a story.
Yeah.
People ask you about it.
What do you think of like KD, like the way that he tweets?
I hate it.
Why?
It's too much, man.
It goes right after.
You can tell, yeah, but it's not that.
It's just that he is too personal.
Like you can tell.
It bothers him.
It bothers him.
And when it bothers you, people like me keep bothering you.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, Armoura, I'm going to keep bothering you, bro.
Like, I can tell it's getting under your skin.
If I see it, God, to you.
It's bothering you, man.
So, I hate that he gets personal with people and stuff like that.
It's all in good fun, man, because, like, you can't argue with a fan.
They're fanatics.
Yeah. It's short in good fun, man, because you can't argue with a fan. They're fanatics. It's short for the word.
They're going to find a way to rationalize what they're being a fan of.
And they have time.
Today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
Nothing but time and space.
Yeah, you just got to find that right balance, man.
I feel like I found it, you know, and I enjoy it.
Bront has given us the wrap-up, so just a couple more quick things.
Number one, Bront.
I mean, you could hang out if you want.
How do you like Bront?
Can I hang out?
Yeah.
All right, I can hang out.
I can hang out.
I can hang out.
Did want to ask you about your time with Dez because we love Dez.
Yeah.
And I just remember Dez at training camp.
Mad man.
They just had a story about how LeBron practices just as hard as he plays,
all that kind of stuff.
And Des, as I remember, was full go during practice.
Yeah, yeah.
Everything was a full rep.
I'm open.
I'm open.
It's a run play.
I am open.
Everything.
Decoy.
Yeah, I'm open.
I'm open.
Give me the ball.
That was Des every day, every week.
He was going at it. He was trying to get the ball. Like, that was Dez every day, every week. He was going at it.
He was trying to get the ball.
He was trying to get better at his craft.
And I feel like that's where a lot of people had him misconstrued
and just a loud mouth and this and that.
But Dez loved football, man.
He loved football.
He loved playing receiver position.
And he loved to compete, man.
And that's really what it was.
He just wanted to compete and win.
And I don't feel like people, you know people really grasped that when he was here.
For me, I didn't really
get it until I came out here. The first time
I saw him in one-on-ones.
Working in one-on-ones is an audition
for this dude.
It was crazy. Didn't you get into it with him a little bit?
Absolutely.
There's clips of you guys.
We got into it. That was not the first time either.
No. Were you a rookie? I got into it. That was not the first time either. Yeah?
No.
Were you a rookie?
I was a rookie, yeah.
So what was that?
Yeah, that's got to be like, whoa.
No.
Okay.
No, I was always – you know, it was crazy because we had Cole Beasley.
We had Terrence Williams.
We had guys like Bryce Butler, all of them guys.
Like they talked this.
They talked so much.
I've never seen a receiver court talk as much as
those guys did and it bothered me really bad and then i would just be like shut up bro like why
are y'all like y'all receivers bro y'all soft like why are you talking to me like that like why
i hit you guys like why are y'all talking to me like that and they really thought like
every day i'm open you can't check out every single one of them and i'm just like it irritated
me because i'm like i'm not used to this and everybody was competitive and it was just like jesus bro what is this it's
fun teams though yeah that's a fun team it was it was a lot of fun it was a lot of talent man
a lot of telling the guys that don't you know no that dead i mean des and and bees those guys were
elite like bees was lethal bro like in and out of cuts and stuff like that. He was very lethal. It was fun
going against those guys in practice.
We had Orlando Scandrick, too.
Oh, I forgot about that.
He's not going to quiet down.
Man, man.
They were used to him talking. I'm like, y'all not going to say nothing to them
from talking? They ignore it.
They ignore it. I'm like, no, I don't like this.
I don't like this at all.
Yeah, and then that's why
if they knew you didn't like it, they're going to keep doing it. I'm like, no, I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Yeah, and then that's why you – like if they knew you didn't like it,
they're going to keep doing it.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, absolutely.
They kept at it, and we got into it real big.
So that was fine.
Yeah, good times.
Yeah, it was a great time.
Have you trolled Zeke at all about Michigan being up on the Buckeye now?
Oh, no, he knows.
I don't really like to gloat like that when it's bad.
It's three in a row now.
What am I talking to you for?
It's three in a row, bro.
It's established.
And we won a championship.
We're on the same level now.
Just a couple more things here real quick.
Do you want to roll through our questions?
We could do that.
We definitely want to show them the last one.
Yeah, maybe we'll do that first.
We have some
things we debate about on the show.
Wanted to see if
you could help settle those. One of them I know is
back-end
parking.
Where do you stand on that, pro or con?
Back-end parking? I'm not the best parker.
My wife tells me that all the time.
They will do that.
Yeah, they'll inform you of what you're not good at.
Yeah, exactly.
Does she watch the games real intensely?
Yeah. Does she post?
Yes, she posts. Not as much as me.
It's very subtle. It's not as bad
as me when I get on people.
She doesn't like
that attention. She's the extrovert. If she she's the introvert i'm the extrovert so okay yeah well if you're at
home and you have to go number one do you ever sit down to pee now no uh-uh i have a son that
can't see that thank you see but that's we feel like that's a how old he's one okay so he if
you got me i mean we about to start potty potty training, so we can't let him do that.
Yeah.
Good luck.
I know.
Our daughter, she didn't have her little – and it was crazy without it.
So I can only imagine what would happen.
I think I actually started sitting down around the time that my daughter –
I have a five and a one.
Yeah.
I have a one and a four.
I think I started sitting down so that she would see it.
Okay.
And be like, oh, that's what you do.
Because the first time I ever stood up and I was peeing, she was like, what the hell?
They want to imitate what you're doing.
She's like, how are you doing that?
I'm like, okay.
No, no.
And then you'll learn.
You should try it.
Here's what we're saying.
Try it and you might never go back.
Yeah.
Try it.
You can also buy yourself some time.
When I broke my foot, I will say, when I broke my foot and I had to sit down, it was comfortable.
Yeah, you're definitely comfortable.
But you stayed there too long.
Get on Twitter.
Definitely stayed there too long.
Do some stuff.
Troll some fans.
And now I see why my wife stays on the toilet 30 minutes.
I get it.
I get it.
I definitely get it now.
Do you have a dog?
We did.
I gave it to my mom.
Okay. So let's say that you have to clean the dog. Because you have a dog? We did. I gave it to my mom. Okay.
So let's say that you have to clean the dog.
Because of the little kids?
Yeah.
They were too small.
They were too small.
It was a Cane Corso, so it was...
Big dog.
Yeah.
So you have to clean the dog, and it's not like time to take it to the groomer.
My dog gets in some mud.
What I do, I take it in the shower with me, but I wear a bathing suit or compression shorts. So you won't shower with the dog i i will shower with
the dog but i wear you i wear bottoms uh they think i should do it nude huh take care of it
all you can clean yourself don't loop me into this by the way we got a water hose that we and
we got a bucket that we can put him outside in. And my mom, she has like a washroom.
She puts him in there.
Never to shower.
But I'm clothed.
I'm just saying.
So is your shower upstairs?
One story home, Jordan.
Okay.
No.
We got fired last year.
I'm sorry.
Not really really but whatever
My mother's shower is upstairs
Okay
So
She can't
Yeah no
Do you take baths?
Sometimes yeah
Sometimes
Yes
Absolutely
Would you take a bath
See this is not the debate
My debate
Baths are fine
Especially if you have a nice sized tub
I'm taking one as soon
As we get home today
But he'll take one
In a scummy hotel
That we're at
That's kind of
Psychotic
Yeah that's weird
That is
Getting a bath tub
Imagine all the people
That are in that
That's what I was thinking about
The disgusting feet
No I like that
So you just get
Straight off anything
You take clothes off
Nothing
Just get in the water
Correct What? Yeah little bubbles No Yeah You just get straight off anything. You take clothes off, nothing, just get in the water.
Correct.
What?
Yeah, little bubbles.
No.
Yeah.
A nice glass of vino.
I don't know.
You know you can catch stuff like that?
See, he won't eat anything.
Okay, let's keep going.
Okay, yeah. He used my toothbrush earlier this week.
Yeah, he used his toothbrush on the trip.
We had the same toothbrush and we were rooming together.
On purpose?
No.
Same toothbrush. Still, he tried to hide it. Did it We had the same toothbrush and we were rooming together. On purpose? No. Same toothbrush.
Still, he tried to hide it.
Did it taste different?
No, it tastes like a toothbrush.
I mean, breath was on it.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Hypothetically, let's say that I'm listening to rap music and it's not Eminem.
It's not Eminem.
Okay.
Okay.
Do I need to edit myself whenever I'm in the car by myself?
If it's not Eminem, even with Eminem, yes, I think so.
Well, he would never do that.
I think he – I heard he did.
It was one time very early on.
So you know.
You know, yeah.
Of course I know.
Okay, there we go.
And you sang it.
Yes.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes, I believe in spirits, yeah.
Encounters?
I don't know. that's kind of weird
like why
I feel like Detroit
in general is haunted
so
it's a lot of
abandoned homes
and it's kind of crazy
but it's weird
like why would a ghost
like spend time
and try to haunt people
that lives in a home
like wouldn't you want
to be friends
see I thought you were
going to say
why would a ghost
spend time in Detroit
no I'm sorry no I mean you can going to say, why would a ghost spend time in Detroit?
I'm sorry.
You can go anywhere.
It doesn't make sense.
You're right.
Go to L.A.
Especially, yes, if you are a ghost,
yet somehow you're locked into that area where you died.
Why you don't want to be friends with people?
Right.
You want to terrorize the people that... Makes no sense.
Make my life easier.
So you believe in ghosts.
You just don't think it's logical.
I believe in spirits.
I've never seen spirits.
Okay.
And I think I'm with you on that.
Gotcha.
Do you want to hit your hypothetical real quick,
Dan?
Your favorite.
We have a hypothetical on the show,
which is,
can you,
can you,
can you,
if you were to have two ladies...
Not at the same time.
These are... You're not married.
This is a hypothetical. It's just fun.
I got you.
One woman. They're both very beautiful.
One,
three years ago, she was
675 pounds.
The other one, three years ago, was homeless.
And she was homeless for two years.
But you have to date one of them.
Which one?
The homeless one.
Why is that?
She understands how to, you know, be a minimalist, you know?
Interesting.
Just gets by.
She can get by.
So she understands.
She understands that, like, as opposed to the 650 40 37 75 75 pound
it's greed at this point yeah she worked really hard to get it off though yeah and but still
we understand at what point has that greed maxed like you don't know yeah you know okay did you
get small so you can do it again interesting it's That's kind of what I do, so that makes sense. You know what I mean? So, like, I want to be with the minimalist.
I understand how to live humbly.
And I tend to agree with you, but my thought has always been when this comes up, because he's obsessed with this, is, like, you're leaving a nice restaurant.
Maybe she digs in the trash.
I don't know.
Just out of habit.
We can say she has dementia or something like that, you know?
Or she runs into a guy
who is still afflicted with
being on the house.
Afflicted is a disease.
I don't know. It's a condition.
She's like, hey, Bob.
They know each other.
You're like, whoa.
They have a dap up.
I mean,
but if you're at the same restaurant with the 675-pound woman.
Maybe that's a day it goes back.
That's a high bill.
There you go.
Yeah, right.
That is not minimalist.
Okay, so we're going to play the video?
Yeah.
Thanks for giving us so much time.
No problem.
Yeah, we have a video that.
I've been showing this to as many Cowboy players as I can.
This is from, these guys get mad at me if I don't properly date it, 2012.
Okay. It's a commercial featuring
your boss. 12 years ago. Which boss?
Well, you'll see. The only one that matters.
Gotcha.
When I'm at
Cowboy Stadium or sitting at home
and I hear Papa John's Pizza for
Jerry Jones, yo, it lights me up
like a Roman candle with
toppings and flavor almost too good to handle.
Cowboys, five stars, what I get.
It's like a Papa John's Pepsi, double threat.
Get a Papa John's large with up to five toppings and a two-liter Pepsi.
People are swapping.
I use it to end.
Cowboys, five-star combo for $10.99.
Your thoughts?
That's tough.
I mean, that's a win-win, man.
Yeah, kind of killed it.
That's a win-win.
Yeah.
I can't rap.
You talk about it.
I can rap.
You talk about it.
I got a 40-inch vert.
You talk about it.
I like it.
I love it.
I like it.
I love it.
What's Jerry like?
Like that.
Everyone loves him.
Like that?
Hell yeah.
He's dope bro
Like
I haven't seen him get in the air like that
Like do you love him right away
When you meet him
Man
It's like damn
This is what you about
Right away
Yes
Everyone says that
Yeah
Right away
He's intense
Right away
He makes you feel like a million dollars
Right away
Right away
Yeah
It's
Money
That's awesome
Money bro
It's great to have a good boss.
Man.
Yeah.
It is, bro.
And say what he want to say.
Well, it's great to have you here.
And we predict nothing but great things this year.
We have 17-0.
20-0.
20-0.
Oh, that's right.
You're going to keep going.
All right.
The great Jordan Lewis.
We lost the preseason game.
Oh. We mean the preseason game.
We mean the regular and postseason.
I appreciate that.
Preseason we know that you didn't really have anything to do with it, did you?
I mean, you could consider me as an honorary coach.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no.
You can have the cup if you want. Yeah, we have a dumb zone.
I like this.
Thank you so much. It's immense, a lot of them. Yeah, we have a dumb zone. I'm taking it. I like this. Thank you so much.
Yes, sir.
It's immense.
A lot of them.
Yeah.
There you go.
There you go.
Thank you.
Thanks, man.
Enjoy Madden.
Thank you.
It's good this year.
I'm not playing Madden.
It is.
It is.
I'm playing.
I want to play college football until Madden is $20.
Okay.
It'll be a while, but it does feel good.
It's going to be a while.
He's got the college football.
I got you.
Is it better than college football?
Right now, yeah.
Really?
The latest patch messed up NCAA.
Yeah.
I like the spin.
Well, they took that away.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for being here.
I mean, you can hang out if you want,
but I think they're trying to rush you out of here.
Bront is going to yell at us here.
All right. What's he like? Getting me you out of here. Bront is going to yell at us here.
What's he like?
Getting me up out of here. Yeah.
All right.
Well, thanks, man.
No problem.
Thank you.
All right, Chuck.
Thank you, man.
Good to meet you.
There he is.
Good luck.
Good times.
Good luck.
Thank you.
All right.
There he is.
Jordan Lewis, guys.
Got about double what we expected there.
No, I think Brant was giving the wrap-up sign to us about a half hour ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, no, that's his job.
He's doing his job, and we're trying to do our job.
Like, I really think he would have stayed for, like, the news.
Like, I was like, what do we do now?
Yeah, I think, are we on to the news now?
Sure, let's do it.
Okay.
Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.
So, news from back home.
I would have actually liked to have him.
I know.
Like, it feels like he would have commented on everything.
That's why I didn't know.
I didn't know, you know, I could feel the lurk.
No, but then he kept doing it, but then he kept saying no.
So who do I listen to?
I know.
Richardson and Dallas PDs have put out notices for parents to be on alert
after two suspicious situations targeting kids.
What do we got?
Attempted kidnappings with school coming back.
Yeah. They say that they do not believe
The two incidents are related
But with more kids out
Walking and biking to school
You know
They're putting out the
Hey talk to your kids
Are people still kidnapping?
It just feels like it's
Honestly that's why I wanted to do this story
Like there's so much surveillance out there.
There's so many, you know...
Almost every kid has a phone, exactly.
Yeah, how are you going to get away with it?
I mean, I haven't thought about it.
That's the deterrent.
Keeping the kidnappers down, like always.
That's right.
But it is weird, like...
You know, today was the first day of kindergarten for Nora.
Oh, and you weren't there?
And you weren't there.
No, I was with you guys because I care about you guys.
Was that a big deal?
But you're rushing home.
No, it was super cool.
You're rushing home, right?
Everyone was really pleased about it.
Yeah, you probably should just rush home to see how it was.
By way of Oregon.
How long have we been going?
Not long enough. Yeah, it's weird though like my kid you know we've talked about it a little bit she's uh she's highly verbal but on the spectrum
um and that presents some challenges when it comes to new people so on one hand you want to
impart to them like don't be shy but then you're like am i over
promoting don't be shy to a point where they are susceptible to the stranger you know what i mean
like i don't want her to clam up the second anybody talks to her yeah and that's hard hide
behind me and be like i'm shy dad i don't want to talk to them and in my head i'm like well you're
gonna have to yeah that's the phase we're in right now.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a tough thing to.
Yeah.
Head in the butt.
Top load. Head in the butt for sure.
Tight rope to walk.
Just the whole, because you're showing them,
I don't know if you guys watch videos, you know, stranger danger
and you got to have a safe parent, friend or something.
Like we had one friend that was your safe friend.
Yeah.
If Miss Jennifer came to take them out of school, that was authorized type thing.
Right.
But no one else.
You know, she was the whatever.
I don't know.
It just seems like there's so much already put in place that there's almost no way that a kidnapper...
Like, is that still happening?
I feel like it's not.
You just don't really hear stories.
Yeah, I feel like most of what we hear now, even last week when we got that Amber Alert, is like family members.
Right.
You know, it's an ex-boyfriend or a stepdad or a dad.
It's almost always a male. But when they talked about the history of kidnapping,
even the 80s panic of it,
mostly it was that then.
Yeah.
Like it might have been 90% then.
Maybe now it's 98%, right?
Yeah.
I think.
It's a lot.
It's kind of a flat line since 1992.
What do you mean?
As far as numbers of kidnappings.
Does it indicate family members?
It just feels like the out of nowhere targeting a kid and kidnapping is not a thing that really happens.
Yeah, wasn't there like a...
Was it...
What's the show?
Was it Webster?
Or was it the other one?
So that I can be racist.
The other one.
Are you talking about what you talk about, Willis?
Yeah.
Didn't they do like a two-part episode on the creepy guy in the van?
I think they did, yeah.
It might have been different strokes.
There you go.
With Gary Coleman.
But I'm not sure.
I was definitely very afraid as a child.
Oh, yeah.
Like, that was implanted into my brain of, you know, at every corner.
There's a guy lurking, waiting.
Somebody wants that hot eight-year-old ass.
I've seen pictures of you, dude.
That's pretty creepy.
Very hot little kid.
Jesus, Pete.
Just you.
Okay, two Texas children are hospitalized in Houston.
They were saved.
I don't know if you saw this.
Dallas, Texas TV posted it.
There was a car accident on Sunday afternoon in Houston.
A major crash ejects both of them, and there are two kids running around on the freeway.
Did you see this video?
No.
In diapers.
It's insane.
Who's running around?
Why?
Because they're in a car, and there's a car accident.
The diaper kids got ejected?
Yes.
Yeah.
And then they're running around like they were fine?
On the highway.
On the freeway, yes.
And like a 10-car pileup.
Are they dodging the...
Well, I mean, traffic stopped when the car accident occurred.
Look at this, Dan.
Yeah, he's just got two...
Their Jeep or something had rolled over,
and they flew out of the car,
and they're just sitting on the highway.
And they're just walking.
Yeah.
They're fine, but still, like...
How are they fine?
Two diapered kids on the highway.
Do you drive around with your kids just wearing a diaper and no pants, no shirt on?
Yeah, I think on top of that, what they had was no seatbelt.
So the father, a 25-year-old, is facing criminal charges for not properly restraining the kids.
And buddy, if he's still married, he will never, ever live that down.
Do you think?
If he's still married, he will never, ever live that down.
Do you think?
He might want to just rather go to prison.
Dude, I get nervous when I see just a kid that looks too young to me not in a car seat.
Like, I'm never going to say something, but I do have that 1% thing in my brain where I'm like,
somebody should probably tell that person that that's not safe.
But I, you know, I don't do it.
No. Yeah.
You got... Enough problems?
The thing is, yeah, you got your own kids. There's enough
dealing with that.
I can't go worry about your kid.
In fact, I don't
care what happens to your kid.
Not you in particular. I care about your kid more. Because it affects me then. care what happens to your kid. Jeez, dude. Not you in particular.
I care about your kid more because it affects me then
because it would affect your mood.
Because then we've got to hear about it.
Yeah.
It's really all about me.
Then you've got to hear about it.
So in the event that, like, one of my kids died,
the worst thing for you guys would be that you, quote,
have to hear about it?
Jake is sad again.
Not the worst thing, but it would be that you, quote, have to hear about it? Jake is sad again. Not the worst
thing, but it would be up there.
One of the top three
worst things about that.
Man.
And it'd be like, well, who's going to fill in for Jake tomorrow
then? Needs another day off.
Yeah.
You guys are the worst.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Did you guys see that the XY chromosome boxer is suing JK Rowling and Elon Musk?
I thought we were done with this person.
Ah, well, she wants the monies.
Why?
What's she suing?
Defamation.
It's really kind of weird that the lady from Harry Potter,
which I have no association with,
I've never seen any of the movies,
I've never read any of the books,
turned out to be wildly right-wing.
Because typically you think of...
I mean, she's the lady that J.D. Vance is talking about
when he's like, childless cat lady.
I've dated a few.
Typically pretty far to the left.
Yeah.
Maybe they're involved in roller derby.
I think so.
She's a TERF. You know what that is?
I think I've looked it up in the past.
TERF.
Totally.
No.
Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist.
Which means they're pro-woman, but the trans can't get involved.
But what if the woman wants to dress like a man?
Isn't that trans?
Yeah, and they exclude that.
So they're pro-woman unless you want to do that.
Correct.
What if you're a man who wants to dress like a woman?
Also out.
Okay.
Are there any...
What's...
Wait, trans-exclusive...
What would be the same for just men?
I'm pro-man.
But I'm not...
Term?
Trans-exclusive radical misogynist?
Male?
Misogynist?
I think that's pretty much implied.
Yeah.
But yeah, this just feels like one of those type of lawsuits where you're just aiming for the moon.
Right?
Kind of like the...
Yeah, what if I get a little...
The DAC.
Yeah.
The DAC thing where it's like, we're suing you for $100 billion.
How much is it?
It doesn't say.
Okay.
But yeah.
She has filed it.
She'll get a signed book out of it.
I feel like Elon or guys like that, I mean, they even say it about Jerry.
They have a ton of lawsuits at him
all the time. All the time.
And it's like, well, what's this one?
What can I settle it for?
And that's what
she, she, she
is hoping for. It's a she
for sure. Born a girl.
Is a girl.
And it's not even that great of a box.
She has like nine losses.
So it's not like Mike Tyson
threw a wig on.
That's the whole bit.
Again, we've talked about this before.
There's just not a lot of women.
There's not a lot of
men
who have decided to transition to become a woman,
and then they're dominating women's sports.
Yeah.
There's kind of like one, and it was like that swimmer.
And the proof is, if there was more, you would have heard about it.
You would hear about every one of them.
But it's kind of like satanic panic or something.
Yeah.
And I'm not saying I'm for someone.
Like, I'm against that, too.
But the point is, there's just not a lot of them.
It's just not happening.
Yeah, and the funny thing about it is, not to get into the political thing for us to close,
but, you know, obviously the right loves this as a talking point.
And they're just hammering, like, why is Kamala not weighing in on this?
And it's like, because it's bullshit.
It's not a thing.
It's not a thing.
But they're like, why don't you get into the mud with us?
This is the stuff we want to talk about that we can make you look bad and fight about.
Because Trump would?
Because he has.
Dude, one of my favorite bits he has going right now
is when he pretends like he's lifting weights.
And he's like,
I can't lift it.
I can't lift it.
And then he just throws it up.
Because he's a woman who's transitioned.
Like when LeBron wanted to play WNBA, he's done that.
And Kamala or Biden are just like,
I don't care.
And it frustrates them because it's a red meat talking point.
Right.
It's kind of like the outkick guy at the women's NCAA Final Four or whatever
was going to ask the coaches about, what do you think about women?
Yeah, and she just shut it down.
Trans women playing, like, you like you know number one it's
just not a thing right um and then if it does become a thing then we can weigh in but like
obviously you don't want someone who's born a male who has built up a bunch of muscle and then all of
a sudden says they're female they can't play play sports. Sorry. That's just the way
it's going to be.
But that ain't happening
so why are we even
talking about it?
Well, I mean,
because it was the news
and that's the news.
Because I talked about it.
Oh, okay.
You're done?
It was like 20 minutes.
It was like 20 minutes.
The Dumb Zone News.
I'll tell you how long it was.
It was ten and a half minutes.
Ten and a half minutes.
The keeper of the clock.
Oh, wait.
He's got a plane to catch, so.
Oh, my God.
Let's just rush through it.
I know.
He's probably going to make us drive him to LAX.
I have already recanted or rescinded that request.
But you tried to do it.
I thought it would be.
You know what I did is I asked Blake two months ago.
Yeah.
And he's like, no problem, dude.
Yeah, you know how that is.
Like I had any idea what this trip was going to be about.
But you know how that is, right?
What do you mean?
Accepting I'll do it two months out.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, to be honest, that's how I feel about this trip I'm about to go on,
even though it's going to be fun.
I'm kind of like, I just want to go home.
I just want to see my family.
No, I see that, especially with, what's his name?
Carter.
I know you have a boy.
You've got to know his name, too.
How's it going, man?
But he's like not even two yet.
No. Yeah, why are you saying how's it going to everybody? But he's like not even two yet. No.
Yeah, why are you saying how's it going to everybody?
What's your thing?
Hey, Rowdy.
Oh, footage.
Like all of a sudden we're going to have Rowdy in here.
A picture from Jake tomorrow on his plane.
You look good in first class.
Why did you waste so much time?
But I have always.
Any time is a waste.
I have always thought that just the the going away
for a week
when you have a kid
of that age
and you come home
they're different.
Dude we went on
a measure the
difference somehow.
We went on a
stars trip
that Blake was on
three weeks after
Nora was born
and we were gone
for like nine days.
So at that point
I've now essentially
when I got home
missed 35 percent of her life. And it was nine days. Dang. So at that point, I've now essentially, when I got home, missed 35% of her life.
And it was super weird.
Yeah.
We went in February.
She was born January 9th.
Brooks thinks I'm still on a walk.
Daddy Homer, is he on a walk?
It's good.
Get used to that, Chief.
Yeah.
How many steps you got to?
Not very many.
Ah!
Woo!
Fuck.
A little live on the...
Okay, yeah.
There's another photo of me.
Maybe you do have COVID.
Maybe I do have COVID.
Third time's a charm, brother.
Is that why you have me sitting next to him?
What a jerk.
Hold on, let me check the steps before we get into today in history.
Because I went out for a pretty long walk.
Went to Vons this morning.
Nice.
For some protein drink.
I'll give you a little.
Hell yeah, bro.
Do they still have water?
They're all out of water.
No, they have tons of that water, dude.
Okay.
It says $3.99 for members.
You know, Vons, if you're a...
Tom Thumb.
Is it Tom Thumb?
Yeah.
Yeah, put in your Tom Thumb number and you get that discount.
Yeah.
Oh, you did know that?
Yeah.
Everyone did.
Fuel points.
Sorry.
Or do you do the whatever...
No, because I...
8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, 9.
No, because I want those points.
7,619 steps already today.
Cute.
And I asked Matt this morning, have you broken Blake's record?
Yeah.
He goes, like Matt is a humble guy.
He goes, I'm averaging Blake's record.
This sounds real humble.
Like that guy walks all over.
Like every day he'll take a business
walk. He's on the phone
and he's just doing stuff.
He made
more money on his walk this morning than you've
made in the past month.
There's no doubt about it.
There's no doubt.
Thanks for reminding me.
How many steps you got today? You don't even want to look.
Because you know I'll just embarrass you.
I think me and Rob got a lot when we got here extra early to set everything up.
Oh, my God.
Well, I guess you weren't prepping this gold that you're about to hear.
I'm going to vape.
It says no smoking.
Mom, I want to vape.
Jake is not about the rules here.
He's not about if they kick us out for next year.
He's like, yeah, whatever, bro.
Yeah, I'm friends with Micah.
Watch.
He'll come over.
I'm Kemp.
I'm Kemp.
Oh, you know what?
God damn it.
What?
Get Jordan Lewis back.
I want to ask him about his middle name.
His middle name is Cornelius.
That's awesome.
Damn, we ruined that whole interview.
Can we have him on as a weekly?
He's pretty great.
I think he liked us.
That was awesome.
What about Brandon Aubrey?
Why not both?
Why not both?
Because we don't have any money.
Just like the business burrito tonight. You want steak and shrimp? Why not both? We're not going Because we don't have any money. Just like the business burrito tonight.
You want steak and shrimp?
Why not both?
We're not going back there.
Yes, we are.
Rob doesn't want to go to Spencer's?
Fine, me and Dan will go.
Can we order pizza or something?
Pizza?
Like, get some good pie.
Oh, wait.
I did see a local place.
Is it of a kitchen variety?
It's called the California Pizza Kitchen. It's right next to our house. It's really near our house. I did see a local place. Is it of a kitchen variety?
It's called the California Pizza Kitchen.
It's right next to our house.
It's really near our house.
Did you see it?
I did not.
No, it must have just been a hidden gem.
It's like a little hole in the wall.
You always want to eat it local places.
They give you the best food.
Yeah.
So I will agree as long as it's California Pizza Kitchen.
Okay.
Sounds good.
Oh, wait.
I picked up this.
This is my Cowboys thing.
Save that.
How are the Cowboys going to do this here?
Find out next week, Blake, when you get our exclusive. Why'd you highlight future Hall of Famer Zach Martin?
Is that up in question?
No.
Okay.
I was going to say that's first ballot, dude.
No, I think it was
why are you looking at my highlights?
Because they're right there?
These are my own personal notes.
I don't need you
reading Cornelius is his middle
name. That's a secret thing.
Also, it's not his middle
name, but...
Look it up.
What is it?
Julian?
God damn, I heard him on an interview.
Something... Now I wish we would have asked him.
Don't you wish I would have said?
So your middle name?
Your middle name is Cornelius.
I had a dog.
Anyway.
Today is Wednesday, August 14th.
August 10th.
On this day in 1936, in front of an estimated, well, I'll just tell you what it was.
It was the last public execution in the United States.
1936.
Wow.
I would not have guessed that.
20,000 people.
So the AAC is full.
And they got humble Billy Hayes like are you ready
your
Friday night execution
Chris Arnold is on
they throw it down to him
and he's like
alright let me talk to
now if he can toss a fry
into this basket
yeah and we're interviewing
people we're doing bits
you got the fat guys
dancing
you got the drums
up there
yeah
shooting t-shirts
yes two minutes
until the execution
it's so great the girls are dancing The drums up there. Yeah. Shooting t-shirts. Yes, two minutes until the execution.
It's so great. I went to a hanging and all I got was a shirt.
Yeah, you got all the shirts over the seats and you're like,
oh, man, how come everybody can't get on board and just wear them?
Which is Oklahoma City.
Wear your execution t-shirt.
What if everyone is silent during the execution?
Dude, we've talked
about this before. There was a
Dan Carlin series on this.
That used to be mass
entertainment for
hundreds of years. Like, women
were really into it.
Because they didn't have Peacock.
That's right. Or Hulu.
Do you have any more on that?
So it was Owensboro, Kentucky was the location.
The man's name was Rainey Bethea.
Any guess on the race of the man?
Yeah, I'm going to go.
I know one that it's not.
He was not white.
Yeah.
I did look into it this morning.
They said he was charged with raping and murdering a 70-year-old woman.
And so, I know, that seems funny.
Who's raping that?
Please take the camera off me.
You're allowed to laugh.
You have to wonder, was that even real?
You know, back then, something would happen.
Something bad would happen to somebody, and they'd be like.
It was a black guy.
The closest black guy or whatever.
I mean, that's how Tulsa happened.
Yeah.
Or they whistled at a white woman.
I believe.
Or a woman would say, oh, I was raped by a black guy.
Yeah, I think...
Because she had her pregnant, you know, her boyfriend had her pregnant.
The woman who accused Emmett Till when she was like 70 recanted it.
Yeah.
And it's like, oh, well, we kind of cut this guy into pieces.
Yeah.
Ooh, well.
Anyway, on this day in 1980.
Give us something fun.
What do you got?
Wayne Gretzky was named NHL MVP.
The youngest ever to win.
He was 19 years old.
What?
It's hard to say the word old.
19 years old.
And he would win it the next five years in a row.
Can you imagine?
I kind of wish I was sports conscious during that era.
Yeah, me too.
Like, as a young hockey fan, it was just mythical.
He's like, he's honestly maybe the only guy ever,
at least in the four majors,
and maybe outside of the steroid era,
that you can honestly say his numbers don't make sense era adjusted.
Patrick Mahomes is going to throw for way more yards than Otto Graham,
obviously, right? Touchdowns.
Basketball, right?
LeBron has the ability of nutrition and training and whatever.
He can play eight years later than Jordan and still average 27 points a game.
But, like, averaging a goal and a point almost per game,
or a goal and an assist per game for, like, five straight years.
Right.
That's never going to happen. He was, like, 200-point-a-year guy.
Pretty close, yeah.
And no one's even really come close.
Yeah.
That was fun, right?
That was better than the hanging thing.
Was better.
And then his wife actually got caught up in a gambling ring
with former Coyotes executive and coach Rick Tockett.
And his daughter would marry a real buttoned up,
maybe account executive.
No, no.
He's a golfer who got suspended for cocaine
and had sex with several other tour members' wives,
Dustin Johnson.
Cool.
Yeah.
On this day in 1986, Red's player manager, Pete Rose,
got his final hit of his career.
4,256.
Should he be in the Hall of Fame, Blake?
Yeah.
Jake?
Of course.
Okay. There's Of course. Okay.
There's no debate over here.
Nothing to embrace.
And here's a yay boo.
1995 is the year
Shannon Faulkner
officially became
the first female cadet
in the history
of the Citadel.
Oh, no.
That is South Carolina's state military college.
So, yeah, that's great, right?
No?
I just know what's next.
Keep reading here.
Yeah.
Oh, she would quit the school less than a week later,
citing the stress of her court fight.
Who gets stressed in a court fight?
Pussy.
And her isolation among the male cadets.
Yeah.
I bet they were pretty cool with her, though.
I mean, it was progressive time, right?
Yeah, that's a tough one, man.
I have no opinion.
Well, what can you do?
Former Cowboy...
Birthday's today.
Okay.
Former Cowboy Roy Williams is 44.
11 or 31.
Which one?
The safety.
Superman.
Not the wide receiver.
That was...
I want to say the only time that I've ever seen...
I've never seen my dad cry.
But I have a good friend.
He's legally my godfather.
We should have him on sometime.
He did some time.
Like seven DUIs later.
Cleaned up now.
Would he talk about it?
I think so.
Okay.
I saw him cry that day.
You saw your dad cry?
Dad's best friend.
Or God found him.
Yeah.
The Roy Williams, Chris Sims, Superman day.
It was like 66 to 3 or something.
Oh, yeah.
Cry out of joy?
No.
Oh.
That was a rough one.
No.
Like we had a big get together, big party, 30, 40 people there.
Texas was good.
So he was so distraught.
He cried.
Grown man.
Might have been before he got off the sauce too, though,
so that might have had something to do with it.
Teddy Lehman picked six.
Teddy Lehman picked six.
Yeah.
Former Cowboy Julius Jones is 43.
Dan.
If you just prorate the last ten games of the season,
he's going to be bona fide star.
I think he had 900 yards in the last eight games.
Yeah.
And he would become the number one overall pick.
I'll bet you not.
I bet you my fantasy league was not the only one in Dallas.
Totally agree.
What do you guys think about a no RB draft?
Just skip it.
That's kind of the wave right now.
I've been seeing a lot of chatter.
Looking at it pretty hard.
Outside of McCaffrey, you know, it's
kind of hit or miss. I mean, it used to be that
running backs would dominate the first
two rounds. Sure.
Games change.
A lot of people are reaching out saying,
could we do a fantasy football league, a dumb zone league?
Would you head that up?
Maybe be commissioned?
Absolutely not.
Jake hates fantasy football.
I think Jake hates the listener.
I think he hates fun.
Are you guys done?
Like, shitting on me?
Oh, somebody's being mean to Jake now.
Former Cowboy Greg Ellis is 49.
Dude, he was an absolute monster.
North Carolina, come on and raise up.
Will he make the transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4?
That was a...
I'm glad you remember that story.
It was a thing? No, that was a i'm glad you remember that story it was a thing no that was uh blake is remembering
the time that my mom tried to do something like you did at the start of the show today
and at thanksgiving right after they hired big tuna my mom thought it would be cute to do a uh
let's all say what we're thankful for how old are you uh 15 or 16. Just right in the prime of smart-ass Jake.
Yeah, and I'm like, I'm just, you know, after some early hiccups,
I'm really happy that this defense has taken to the 3-4
as opposed to the 4-3 that they had under Campo.
And it was true.
Like, you were thankful for that.
I was.
It's all I was thinking about.
She was not happy.
She did not find that amusing?
No.
But Joe did.
That's really who you were working for.
That's the audience I'm playing for.
Yeah.
Former star John Klingberg.
Klinger.
Underappreciated.
Wouldn't you say, Rob?
Very underappreciated.
But he, like us, had the very poor bet on himself decision, if you remember.
Like, he tested the waters and the ducks gave him, like, one for four or something.
Yeah.
I think he ended up getting a good deal after that, but his initial FU didn't work out.
Magic Johnson is 65, famous tweeter.
It's Mike Vrabel.
Vrabel?
Where's the juice from you guys?
Tim Tebow, 37.
Greatest college quarterback of all time.
No.
Yes.
What's his celebration?
The kneel.
Mike Mayock is 66.
Man.
One's called Cracker by Antonio Brown.
So he was the former Raiders GM.
But looking at his Twitter, it could have been worse.
Jeez, dude.
He is out there these days.
Antonio Brown?
Yes.
I haven't looked at it lately.
Oh, man.
You need to.
Still have like a Cracker of the Day, N of the Day?
F of the Day.
N F of the Day.
We got an F of the Day.
Yeah.
The gay F?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Did you know Mike Mayock was a player?
I did.
Former Giant Safety.
Yeah.
Here's a weird one.
Kenneth Lofton Jr. is 22.
Not related.
He is not the son of Kenny Lofton.
I know.
Like, don't throw Jr. on your name if you're throwing me off here.
I'm like, oh, cool.
And Kenny Lofton played college basketball at a high level,
so you're like, oh, okay.
That makes sense.
No.
Not related at all.
And he looks way different, too.
Like he's a big man, isn't he?
Do you know who Kenneth Lofton Jr. is?
I know that he exists.
Oh, okay.
I think he's kind of a round mound of rebound.
Ed O'Bannon is 52.
The reason Blake has a video game.
That's right.
Well, I would have had the video game every year
had it not been for Ed O'Bannon.
Touche.
But now they get paid and stuff.
Touche.
Josh Bell is 32.
He's a Major League Baseball player from Irving.
Yeah.
Man, he's really bounced around.
Now I think, is he Nationals now?
Halle Berry is 58.
He was a Pirate Halle Berry is 58. He was a pirate.
Steve Martin is 79.
Safe Space?
Yes.
I never really got it.
I mean, I've watched many, many SNL episodes that he was a part of.
It's not like I'm against the era.
Big Ackroyd fan.
He was good in Bowfinger.
I just don't get it.
And I know he plays a ukulele or whatever the fuck he does.
I'm a fan.
I just don't get it.
Good and cheaper by the dozen.
I think also comedians, if you watch, you know, you go back and look at it and you're like,
really?
That was that.
But in that era.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, though, is that there's a bunch of guys like that from that time that I still find funny.
Like Bill Murray.
That's a good point.
Belushi.
Yeah.
Even some of the, like, lesser, you know, by that I mean female cast members.
But him, I just, yeah, okay, King Tut.
Gary Larson is 74.
The Farside cartoonist.
Damn.
Farside fan?
I was.
Yeah, for sure.
Always in the bathroom.
That or Dilbert.
Is that kind of, does that need to be era-adjusted?
Comics from that era?
I think Farside lives.
Or let's read the business section.
Yeah, I mean, you're going to choose the comics.
No, I think comics in general are a scam,
but there are some good ones,
and I thought the Farside was one of the few good ones.
And if you want to argue with me, I don't.
We have 20 hours on a RV together to do that.
Yeah.
You know what the issue is with the ride back?
Is Matt is trying to get you that sandwich place again for lunch.
I don't even care.
If you said no tuna sandwich in Flagstaff,
then I bet we could leave a little later.
Okay.
Well, let's just get a subway, dude.
I just want to get home.
Like, I will eat at the Quickie Mart or whatever, you know, the gas station.
I will get the pruney hot dog that's been there for three days.
Why don't we dare or just guilt Matt into driving through the night?
Like overnight?
Yeah.
We'll be home tomorrow.
Or I guess Friday morning.
Would you spoon with me in the bed?
Yeah, if you come up to my nook.
I bet he'd do it.
I bet he would too.
Like, he's a maniac.
Mila Kunis is 41.
So great.
Yeah.
Little thin, but born in the Soviet Union.
So you know she's thankful.
Meg, right?
I bet you that's the thing that she's made the most money from.
What's Meg?
From Family Guy.
She also lied about her age to get on that one show.
Dude, if you're from the Soviet Union, nobody knows when you were born.
Right? Like a Dominican shortstop. Dude, if you're from the Soviet Union, nobody knows when you were born. Yeah.
Right?
Fair.
Like a Dominican shortstop.
Just kind of say whatever.
Lynn Chaney is 83.
It's funny, looking through the birthday list, it lists her as, like, author.
Oh, not just, like, Dick Chaney's wife?
Right.
So Liz is the daughter?
I think I've screwed that up before.
Because Liz Chaney looks super old.
Like, if you told me that that was Dick Cheney's husband, or excuse me, wife.
But if you're 83 and you have a kid when you're 20 or whatever.
Yeah.
You know, your daughter's going to be young, or old now.
Sometimes it'd be like that.
Spencer Pratt is 41.
What's his bid? He was a reality TV star
from the hills. Married Heidi Montag.
Oh, yeah. I know this
guy.
Wasn't Gribble really into that show?
I think so, yeah. He's a
doucher. Not Gribble. I think he was
friends with Romo's
brother-in-law.
Chase Crawford? I think so.
And Susan Olsen is 63.
She is Cindy on the Brady Bunch.
The little one.
You want to be creepy?
Brady Bunch guy?
No, I don't think she was hot or anything.
Okay, good.
I was more of a Jan guy.
Whoever this person is,
isn't doing much for me.
No, well, she's all old.
Jan was the middle one, though.
Team Jan.
Yeah, I was not a fan of that show.
You ever watch it?
No.
Not one.
I mean, I'm sure I've watched a segment here or there.
Did both of the spouses die?
Is that the only way they could make it palatable?
Yeah, I don't think there was divorce.
Yeah, because that's what they did.
It's like a 60s show or something, right?
Yeah, but that's what they did with The Golden Bachelor.
They found an old guy who wanted to find love,
but they couldn't make it like,
oh, he left his wife or his wife left.
She had to die.
I don't know that they ever overtly said that.
The theme song story.
But they were all alone.
Yeah, I don't know that they...
They probably must have said it in the first episode.
Yeah, it says here, widowed, for Mike.
So I don't know about Florence Henderson, but...
I think...
Oh, no.
I remember seeing the first episode.
It was like a...
It was a swap.
They wife-swapped.
No.
No, it was the 60s.
It was free love.
It was free wheeling.
That is not what happened.
And they decided, let's just swap.
Oh, man.
Let's make that show.
That's the whole premise?
You swing and you fall in love?
I think Jake has already been watching that video.
That's true.
It's California, bro.
Born on the stay, now dead, Mark the Bird Fidrich.
Dan, didn't you believe it?
You're thinking of Sid Finch.
Yes, I am.
Mark the Bird Fidrich is an actual Major League Baseball player who...
Bill James would have told you, look, this guy isn't long for it.
But everybody got real stoked on him, I guess, when he was good.
But he wasn't striking out a lot of people and he fizzled out.
He just threw kind of funny or looked kind of funny?
Something like that.
I don't know.
Dead on this day, still dead.
Why are you saying hey to everybody?
Stop.
We have Josephine Cochran.
What?
She invented the automatic dishwasher.
So there's another lady trying to get out of work.
She did it for women everywhere.
Dan doesn't respect her.
Because he hand washes.
I like to hand wash.
I know.
Gladys Presley.
Elvis's mom.
Enzo Ferrari.
What did he do?
Founder of Ferrari.
Remember a couple years ago, but you stoked on him?
Wasn't there a bunch of Ferrari movies or something?
Well, there was one.
I think I saw it.
It was good.
Porsche versus Ferrari or something?
Ford versus Ferrari.
Popular American story.
And died on this day in 2001,
Earl Anthony, bowling great.
Is he related to our friend?
Anthony Anderson?
No.
Don't we know the greatest bowler,
child prodigy of all time?
I swear to God, his last name is Edwards.
Well, this guy's name is Earl Anthony.
Earl Anthony? The kid? Yeah. I thought it was Anthony something. No, his name is Edwards. Well, this guy's name is Earl Anthony. Earl Anthony?
What's, what?
The kid?
Yeah.
I thought it was
Anthony something.
No, his name is
Anthony Simonson.
Simonson.
There you go.
I wasn't that far off.
You're missing the
last name connection.
Do you think everyone,
like, named their
last name as Anthony
is related to
everybody's first name?
I swear. I think we're having fun here.
I got to tell you that I'm going to miss you when you're gone tomorrow.
I will miss you, dude.
I miss you guys this weekend.
Even being around my family, I'm like, man, I wish I could say a slur.
Yeah, around us.
I wish I could fire a slur up right now.
I got a new friend, J. Lou.
What about tonight?
We close out the trip by watching some Pornhub together.
Just all the guys.
Rock, paper, scissor for who gets to choose the caddy?
All the bros.
We're calling category caddies now.
I'm an amateur man myself.
Which has a U after the E.
Any closing remarks, Rob?
We good?
Yeah.
All right.
He's so sick of us.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Well, thanks to everybody.
We're not going to have a program tomorrow.
Got one Friday, correct, Blake?
Blake is going to be putting together Friday's program on the DZRV.
Respect.
Hey, we did it.
We did it, guys.
Yeah.
Cheers for us.
Us.
Us.
Us.
We. Boy, what a Peter out. Yeah. Cheers for us. Us. Us. Us. We.

Peter out.
Yeah.
Adios, mofo.
We gotta go before
