that's good
I don't know
that was good
I appreciate your effort
and silverback
construction
And let's give a tiny bit of love to Sean Kernan of 360 wealth management.
Who says, you don't have to give out my phone number.
If someone can't find me, they don't deserve to work with me.
He manages wealth.
And Sean gave us a fun fact.
He said he played high school basketball with Coach Joe Avazano's son, Tony,
who is a hell of a player.
Yeah.
He said it was very confusing because people would call him Coach Joe,
but he wasn't my coach.
So he, anyway, thank you to Sean.
The first half of that fact was okay.
Well, I didn't edit how much of the fun fact Sean provided,
but he'll take that criticism to heart for next time he writes you some copy points.
Like shoddy.
Last night.
Last night.
Last night we went to Malibu.
Sotted.
To the boo.
Is anyone doing the boo?
Two cars, because I come with that.
There's a tag on me.
I've made this bed over the years, and it's very comfortable.
I like it.
We've got to have two cars, because Dan's probably going to leave early.
Oh, now that it's all written into the contract, this is great.
It used to be I had it was like a work my way out
But you do it enough times and all of a sudden you're the guy who leaves early
It's on your rider's seat
Let's go
Yeah and in like
Like anytime Dan is making a decision like that
If you just buy in you're going to get to reap some of the benefits
Rather than being like God, why is he anything his way
Just get on board bud
Because there's going to be fruit forever
Of course we need two cars
I wouldn't say that
It's everybody's way though
You guys wanted to stay and you have your own
car and also like just in general even though i'm not leave early guy i do like options i always
like to feel like we have some options and if you have one car with more than one person options are
limited and you need that person who leaves early and doesn't talk much because when you stay late
you look like the hero we had a great time we stuck around it was a cafe habana habana yeah not havana
All right. In Malibu, Chef Jamal. We've known him for years. He worked there many years ago. Then I think he went to Vegas. Then he came back here.
This is the spot that we used to go at the ticket. They still go, I believe. And we used to see Cuba Gooding Jr. there all the time. And as I told you guys, I think I've been there twice. He was there once. And when he showed up as like a verified me tour, not like a light one, I was not surprised.
hit an aggressive female approach
that you got to see
oh yeah and on top of that
I uh
I witnessed that
I witnessed what happened in public
where he's being let out of the courthouse
all sad sack and his like busted suit
it's a great meme
and then about six months ago
my wife was in Miami and she just sent me a picture
of her in Cuba Gooding Jr. at the bar
face to fate like cheek to cheek
and I'm like you know he's trying to hit it
She's like, yeah, he's hammered.
He's everywhere in this bar.
He's really talented.
See, that goes to...
Did he go full, though?
Yeah, and that was excellent.
Radio was a great movie.
Donovan and Twiggy's...
A bit on the...
What is it?
Celebrity...
The pass?
The Hall Pass, yeah.
Randall Cobb...
Because it's not...
No, but it's not fair.
Steve Frisci is the funniest one.
Randall Cobb is on there too, blue eyes.
But he's got a great bit, and I want to steal it, which is, you know, your wife, let's say Cuba Gooding was somehow on her list.
She could actually pull that off.
No doubt.
But if you have Sidney-Sweeney or Stormy Daniels or somebody on your list, you're not going to pull that off.
Like there's no way you'd ever pull that off.
And that's another way the white man has kept down.
I don't know where racism got into it, but certainly the male.
The male has been kept down far too long.
We need to get our territory back.
I know.
I know.
It's like our favorite things, like the NFL,
are becoming less and less popular and pushed out of the culture.
Right.
No.
They're putting a broad behind home play.
Well, that's back in the mix now for play, I guess.
Wouldn't you back up?
Today?
Not soon enough.
Soon enough.
No, it's probably another day or two.
So we're up here at Cafe Hibana, and the thing used to be karaoke.
On Wednesday nights, we would come up here.
I'd actually never had dinner there.
This is where you might have seen Tony the engineer do karaoke once upon a time
and kind of swing the mic in a penis performance, like swinging it around.
It was amazing.
And so it's a good time when karaoke gets going, but apparently they don't do it anymore
regularly.
COVID kind of killed it.
Yeah, so they were doing it last night basically because we were there, which meant the
pressure got turned up on Blake.
Yeah.
And it's not all on Blake.
If I wanted Blake to do it, I should have done it.
But I was kind of testing the can I do karaoke without alcohol?
And last night, the answer was no.
Yeah, I never have, and I wasn't going to.
But I think.
And I wasn't going to be there long enough for karaoke to start anyway.
I think had I been there and it was a bar and it was a midnight and everybody was drinking, I would have been able to do it.
But what we got was like, you know, some ladies that were doing like Miley Cyrus every five minutes.
But midnight is 2 a.m. and you had to get up at 4 a.m. or whatever for your kid, right?
I did. Yes. I did. But we were there. We had a four and a half hour dinner and it was worth every bite.
Yeah, it was great. I had salmon for breakfast as well.
I saw that.
And I warmed it up downstairs.
We took to go.
And there was no...
Did you eat some of that salad, or did you go broccoli?
I went broccoli.
Okay, good.
I didn't smell it.
Thanks, bud.
Yeah.
Huge.
So, yeah, thank you, Chef Jamal.
And we really were pushing eight mile hard on Blake.
And there was a little twinkle in his eye where I thought we had a shot at it.
Yeah, I just, I fold under peer pressure.
And I feel like I'm letting you down.
Let me tell you what he means when he says peer pressure.
Now the race can end up.
the mix. There was a table of black guys next to us, and Blake was worried he'd look stupid.
Well, no, no, no, no. Because Jamal asked me, like, okay, what's the song that you just
belt out in your car? And I was like, well, it's not, it's not M&M as much as my 15-year-old self
loved it. It's probably Kanye. And we had decided that we cannot do Kanye. Because even
though, you know, we're independent, he could make a mistake that could cost us. Yeah.
And I was like, it's not worth it. Now, I told him before it. If I did anything, I'd do gone.
And I'd do it with Blake
And I'd make him sing the N-word part
So then, so when I do leave
Clayton jumped up pretty quick
Like, I'm going with Dan
I was like, oh, okay
So now it's the Dan and Clayton show driving home
Oh yeah?
Yeah
And
Little get to know each other time, little fellowship.
Well, here's the thing.
So I don't mind having
some fellowship and getting to know them.
But I actually had planned, I want to listen to Shottie's press conference today
so I can mark some times, and then when I get up in the morning, it'll be easy to find it
and, you know, edit it.
That's the process, folks.
That's behind the curtains.
It's very exciting.
So, and I'm driving back with Clayton.
Clayton, you need to know this.
has been the bell of this camp
for other engineers
people are walking by our tent
like wow
and his best performance came today
before we get to that
Dan's like oh people are walking by saying wow
the people that walk by yesterday
and stopped and said wow were Jerry Jones
and the president of Fox Sports
Jerry Jones
I was confused because it was while we were talking
to Sam Williams
and Jerry just stops at the tent
and he's staring directly at me
but he's got sunglasses on
I got a headset and I don't know what he's saying
but he's gesturing at our tent
and I'm like, does he want to come on?
And when he leaves it's like
no, it was just him stopping by
to admire your production set up.
He thought the setup was incredible.
The D-L-L-S people are extremely envious.
There's a freaking national network thing
next to us that has like a phone set up
to video.
This is a,
major mate. Anyway, Clayton
is a genius.
He's brilliant. He's
an engineer du jour
or of the year. Whatever.
De year. The point is
so now I'm
wanting to listen to Shottie on the way home.
But
I'm me.
And I can't figure out how to get it to play
through the car.
This is where this is at it? Hold on, though.
Don't worry.
I got Clayton sitting there.
to me.
Ah, this will certainly be no problem.
Oh, I love it.
So how long do you think it took till Clayton, like, just gave up and just decided it's
not going to work?
Very quickly.
Pretty quickly.
Yeah, because we...
Way too quickly!
Because we're outside of business hours.
Yeah, you can have those.
I have the genius next to Jerry Jones was just fawning over.
I hand him this, and I'm like, you know what?
Who can do that?
We've started a service ticket, okay?
And we'll get back to you.
Yeah.
You're not catching him at that time.
I was just, I was, speaks just, Clayton.
I was dumbfounded.
What happened here?
So we get in the car.
Okay.
Rebuttal.
And Dan goes, well, let me just get started driving.
Right.
And I don't know if.
Because you were tired.
You don't know what modern cars do.
This is the hold up here.
You don't understand that you can't, that you have to stop and turn the car off?
When you're driving, it won't let you do all of the.
things in the infotainment center because you're driving so you thought i'll tell him that tomorrow
morning after we drive home let's play this through i'm so now i'm listening to shoddy
like holding the phone to my ear trying to draw i'm on this windy road and i'm weaving in and out
of traffic we're going so yeah no i'm going to have to step in for the boys here so let's play
this through where he's like stop the car pull over turn it off
Like just on the freeway or anywhere on that you would have been
You would have done it
We had barely started
But I can understand why he would have been hesitant
To say that to you
But it is also odd that you don't know this
All I know is usually I just stick the wire
In my phone and I can hit
It's like the dental show you know
Do you want the radio or do you want the phone
Or do you want the serious?
You have a decent chance
Relative to other things that can kill you
Of dying in a car
because somebody was dicking with their phone,
but they do some things to try to keep us alive
by limiting what all you can do with your phone
while the car is going 80 miles an hour.
Well, anyway, and it's dark.
I'm on unknown roads.
Now, listen, hold on, though.
The thing with that, though, is like,
do you think people are just going to say,
yeah, this is a safety issue?
I shouldn't mess with my phone in my car right now.
No, but it just makes you do more dangerous stuff.
Right, right.
All the work you're trying to now figure out.
Why doesn't this work?
It's not going to give up.
Let me give my headphones, you know?
Yeah, let me reach you to my backpack in the back seat to get my headphones since his effing car won't help me.
But, Dan, if you want some support, I saw the other day, like, Chris Cuomo got duped by an AOC deep fake.
Yeah, me too, duped.
But he was like, yeah, after he admitted it was fake, he's like, yeah, but you could see how this would be if it were real.
Like, she has to answer for that.
Right.
You can see how the Seahawks would burn a flag.
Yeah, exactly.
But that was going on, is what I'm saying.
I pretty quickly was on your side on.
He gave up pretty quickly.
So even though I'm with him on You Should Know That.
Right.
I generally support the engineer production guy out of hours.
Don't approach.
All right.
Well.
You ever see Nick Burns, your company's computer guy, the S&L sketch?
You never really worked in an office.
Me?
Yeah.
I mean, I was a sales guy for a radio station.
And having been in his shoes, like, no one talked to Clayton at dinner.
He's just an afterthought.
And then he gets in the car with you thinking.
Whoa, I'm sorry, Clayton.
That is the afternoon.
No, no, I've been in his shoes a hundred times.
Let me tell you something.
I have been with both of you in your shoes.
You can address Clayton at dinner, and you will get a one or two word answer.
And that's about it.
but he's looking forward to talking to Dan for an hour like finally some
oh my god he can learn a little bit about me we can talk about Oklahoma State football
and then you're just like here here's an engineering question for you I don't want to talk
to you fix do your job wire bitch plus while he's trying to give me a hange yeah because
I was driving the main thing the main thing that was the hard part I'm trying to adjust the volume
on the steering wheel and work and find Dan's dick oh it's that's different
difficult to find it was all cold and you didn't have shoddy to listen to you so you
wouldn't have oh no no he listened to shoddy all right then things got working i did listen
to shoddy but i think you fell asleep on the ride home i was pretty exhausted i was pretty close on
ours exhausted from trying to turn on the radio thing to make it work no i was exhausted from trying
to crank your hog i felt like i needed to stay awake for mad grim yeah and then we completed the
mission oh by the way was i light enough this morning
Oh, you're a little prancing around the house?
I had to walk on my dang tippy toes.
We got to them.
Yeah, you did.
On the last, all you could have said something earlier.
The comments gets to this guy so easy.
Jesus, Pete, the comments about the comments are what really gets to this guy.
And dude, as soon as you get home, she's going to say, oh, Blake just says it one time and you do it.
I've been telling you that for 10 years.
So, I did listen to Shottie.
Did you?
Yeah, daily.
I like to listen every day.
maybe throughout the year we'll do shoddy of the week i don't know shoddy's fun
shoddy's fun to listen to shoddy has a bingo card let's see if you can note what was the
bingo i thought he called out here okay um when i first went to san diego one of the first people i
met was our team chaplain pastor sean mitchell and he just was the most um upby positive
person i've ever been around just a a personality they just drew you in
And my faith really kind of took off, if I'm being honest with you.
And I became a much better Christian, a much stronger believer.
And my faith obviously is very important to me.
I have my tattoos to prove that.
There it is.
That's the bingo, not faith, it was more the tattoo.
He loves to reference his tattoos, in my opinion.
Oh, no.
We've got a pattern because guess what?
One's too many.
If I ever heard anybody doing that.
but it is funny
like my faith is very important to me
I can prove it
because I have this tattoo
it's just like my grit
right like but
there's only one way to prove things
are real it's not by your actions
yeah and the weird thing to me about it is like I do get
the idea of tattooing
something on you that
you know I've told you like I thought about getting like
a kid's names on my hands
just because I'm like alcohol
I'd have to see it something like that
Yeah.
But, yeah, I mean, I know it's silly, but faith would seem to me to be something so inward.
I mean, you express it outwardly, but it's something you feel.
It's an odd thing to meet a tattoo on yourself.
But who am I to judge?
It doesn't seem like the sort of thing you should have to tell somebody about.
Yeah, that's kind of the point.
Well, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but he would.
So what happened was, so apparently this story came out that I think we had heard about behind the
scenes for a while, but Jerry, did he announce that?
Somebody found out Jerry had been undergoing cancer treatments and I think came out
better for it on the other side, right?
He's had stage four cancer, but he's all good.
You didn't see this Twitter pissing match?
It was an exclusive interview with the Dallas Morning News.
And so then when Schefter tweets it, Brad Townsend jumps in and is like,
You should probably mention it as an exclusive with the Dallas Morning News.
I'm going to side with Brad Townsend there only because that's the way ESPN does things, right?
We got to tag the right person, blah, blah, blah.
Like they get all pissy about it, too.
It's these, it's the...
But it's like...
I want the credit.
Right.
Make sure you credit me.
Well, his bosses want it to be that way, so they're doing that, and I don't know.
But anyway, so then Shottie started out his press conference with, like, I think,
this is the first time this has ever been revealed that he actually had cancer he had thyroid cancer
then so he went into talking about that what happened when you know he got diagnosed and how he
went through that and it was a tough time as you know cancer would be and uh it was weird in the
walk off it's almost like the reporters had to have improve it to them because i saw him showing the
scar on his neck let me tell you um no flip that the other way he this
same guy. He was offering it up? Yeah, the same guy
who's like, yeah, maybe you check out this tattoo on my
hand here. He loves the walk-off, and he loves showing his
scar. Yeah, you don't want to see it. And yes,
I am going to turn him into McConaug, Blake, because
I've listened to him talk out here. But
it is funny. If you think Faith, then,
is a bingo. I have two more bingoes
then for you. If you think faith is,
I have deemed, let's see how does this start? I think the
favorite part that I have. Okay, because they were
asking him about his favorite part of camp.
last that was his last press conference from oxnard
and uh i feel like you might have said this recently
but he's like a football themed
beach house sign
yeah yeah because we're walking around our beach house
and we see all these inspirational little beach house things
but uh he's going to end with that i think the favorite part that i have
is this with you guys every day no no just kidding
oh so number one
Number one, a little fun.
We're just having fun.
I'm shoddy.
I actually love you guys.
It plays important.
Man, the meetings, you know, I really do.
I love, I'm pretty simple guy.
You know, I've got my family.
I've got my faith, and then I've got football.
I just love it.
I could do football 24-7.
So that's where I think he's a beach house sign.
Faith, family, football.
That is the tattoo.
That's the tattoo he has.
He is a walking Etsy shop run by,
like a Texas high school football mom.
The other comp we had last night,
I don't know if this plays across the board,
maybe more for audience than for Dan,
but we have a yellow card head coach.
Yeah.
The band yellow card.
Just let it sink in,
think about it.
It'll hit.
We have dead silence now here at training camp,
which is very weird.
This is the time,
hold on, here, keep talking.
This is the time where you would go
and do eight mile.
What up, J.C.?
Hi.
We're not talking that loud.
What do you mean?
Hell yeah, drinkmoxie.com.
We got a cold case over here, bud.
Come on over.
Well, we got a case for you to choose from.
And they're cold.
Yeah.
Jeff Kavanaugh coming into Steely.
Why did you let Shottie bully you around?
Is that the one that's cold or is that the one that's cold?
All right.
Jeff didn't ask the one question we asked him to ask Shottie.
What do we do?
ask him to ask him when you if you've been through thick and thin which is the good part
check check i don't think i think that was just a thing that jake said i don't think it was
four shotty but i did i wrote it down because i wanted to ask shoddy because i was like i don't
know the answer to that question and i think the leader of men should but instead he asked him
about 12 personnel oh my god i absolutely did not do that did not hey that ober and undrafted guy you
think making some waves sorry frankle and frankle oh we're not on to that's yet but we do want you
to mention the dumb zone if you call the frankles uh i guess so another bingo that he had yesterday
hey jeff all right um we just have i'm gonna go okay i think that's a good idea uh another bingo
that he had yesterday i mean the silence is really no it's not i promise it's deafening they
You can't hear us.
No, but I mean, are they breaking up practice now?
What's going on?
Probably.
Are they having a...
Hey, Grimm, you want to take a...
Yeah.
Okay.
Boy, you're just ordering that Grimm around.
Like, geez, dude.
Sorry, Matt.
No, I'm doing...
Sorry, friend.
Jesus, Pete.
So, here's another bingo.
It's just the...
Did he ask himself a question?
He did.
Okay.
All right, well, then let's take a quick break.
Okay.
Because we want to go out onto the field to see if we can do
some bits after practice.
So we're going to take a break here.
We'll come back with shoddy stuff.
I can't wait to hear this.
Oh gosh.
After this.
Shocked the world, man.
We were unsuccessful on the practice field.
So we will say unpause.
We just paused things there and you didn't even know it.
And during that short pause, we went out to the practice field because they kind of said
there'd be player availability on field after the game or excuse me after the very short walkthrough
this morning there was not uh did we want some we did did we get it don't we didn't uh that actually
is what i wanted to lead into because we're in the middle of shoddy audio for you uh that's another
bingo right um him asking himself a question to answer a question did he do that yesterday
he did
we're going to stay in kind of a training camp mode for a little while
we're not going to an in-season schedule right away why
I think we're still in the process of evaluation
damn he broke my ankles with that one
I did not feel that coming
so I think we need to take a break though from
yesterday's just to highlight this one
crutch of his
this thing that we have noticed is a bingo
Yeah, the asked and answered question.
And we picked this up pretty early on.
He does it a lot.
I can give you the exact number in a little bit.
That was a one-for, right?
Yeah.
He sometimes will do the two-fer, which is the best.
We do.
You move on.
So 20-24 is over.
Now it's 2025.
Are we going to win the Super Bowl this year?
I hope.
I think we are.
If we don't, you move on.
You go to 2026.
You know, you'll see guys that are taking first team reps.
Are they the starters?
No, they're just taking first team reps today.
Do we change it up?
Of course we do.
Oh.
He'll double barrel saw it off on you.
A rhetorical masterpiece.
I take, allow these guys to dinner.
Why?
Okay, it's important to me.
Do I have things I can be doing?
Of course I do.
Okay.
It sounds so cocky.
So I put together a montage.
We want a plate.
Neville gets knocked back right into the back's legs
and then there's bodies on the ground and things like that.
Does it happen?
Sure.
You know, are they going to be friends?
Hell, I hope so.
It's our job to have a system that's flexible enough.
Does it help?
Of course it helps.
You know, am I more comfortable with Jerry now than I was when I first, you know, started talking to him?
Of course.
Why is that so important?
Because that's the, to make a decision a day of do I have a preference?
Nope.
I'm honest with them.
I tell them how I feel.
Am I always right?
Nope.
And when one guy moves out, next guy moves in.
Does that always happen?
No.
Dak and I have a great feel for, hey, he's anticipating my thoughts.
Is that always that way?
No.
You want your best players buying in because they're your best players?
How long is the montage?
Because they're the ones.
Three minutes long.
Okay, let's pause it.
We'll check back in with that montage.
But first, let's go back to yesterday.
And we will go to, oh, I guess there are things that I am interested in
in what Brian Schottenheimer says daily, especially when he,
mentions a guy that we know, and we talk to every week throughout the season.
Well, when I talk to Brandon, I think, you know, he feels ready.
I know he's really loved being outdoors, kicking with the wind.
The wind's been kind of a fun challenge for him a little bit.
I'd like to talk to Brandon on whether he loves being outdoors and kicking with the wind,
because I feel like he said he does not.
You would like him to ask him that question and then have him directly refute his coach?
That's what media does, don't they?
They hear something from the player and then they run to the coach or vice versa.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think that he's trying to talk about kicking and doesn't know how.
Well, stay tuned.
He's got more.
You know, when you're kicking indoors all the time, I think he's been maximizing those opportunities.
But I think he's in a really good spot.
It's interesting for me, having never really spent much time when I'm in those meetings when, you know, Nick and Carlos are going through the specialist stuff, specifically with Brandon and Bangor, hearing the technical.
side of what goes into kicking a football, you know? I mean, I just kind of took it for granted.
Like, okay, yeah, you kick the ball and this and that. But the technical footwork and, you know,
the plant step and the follow-through and all those different things. Like, literally, I'm in
amazement in some regards. Like, there's so much technical stuff that goes into it.
And I think he's in a really good spot right now, very confident. But being outside and on
the grass has been great for him. I would say, though, if somebody was,
Like I, when I was first hearing Brandon Aubrey describe what really goes into it,
I was kind of flabbergasted, but I haven't been in like an NFL locker room for 26 years,
which you said you have been.
And in meeting rooms.
I can promise you that the extent of Mike McCarthy's knowledge of what Brandon Aubrey does to that football is gay.
Mike McCarthy doesn't have a clue what goes into kicking a football.
Okay.
I promise you that.
The difference is this.
By like week three, Shottie will be acting like he's an expert.
You know what I mean?
That's the difference.
Well, what's Shottie good at?
Vibes, meeting.
Vibes, meetings.
And.
Pain.
Let's take a look at what was going on last night.
He was promoting what's coming up two nights, but this was going on last night.
I think at 545 the night, the rookies are going to put on a little performance.
I know they've been working hard on it.
We'll find out what hidden talents they have.
Okay, so this is pretty common, right?
You're going to do some kind of singing thing, skits, whatever.
Somehow the Cowboys one will suck.
However it is, it wasn't cool.
I like how Shottie can work himself into it, though.
I'm sure that I, along with some of the veterans, will be getting roasted.
I mean, you know, classic me.
Everybody kind of just...
Common turns the Shottie.
I'm sure that I, along with some of the veterans,
will be getting roasted unmercifully.
But that's all part of it.
If you can't laugh at yourself and have good fun,
then I think you're taking yourself too seriously.
But I'm more that way.
I have three opinions.
I mean, that's me.
I laugh at myself.
At the same time.
We all have fun.
Three opinions.
Yes, he's unqualified.
And I think that's a problem.
But I also think he can just kind of be an empty suit offensively.
Two, I think he can run the team CEO-wise because he's been around.
And I think he's a good dude.
three he is the lamest fucking guy I've ever heard talk at length in my life like he's he's a walking
he's like a i he sounds like an a i person we were like make someone who kind of sounds relatable
but it's who talks like that yeah i mean they'll probably mostly be roasting me unmercifully that's
how it always is man everything always just this is the guy that we make fun of all in one
and he's the coach i don't think it means he's a bad coach
I do think me, it means listening to him makes me crazy.
How do you get good at football?
You play football?
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Do you remember we interviewed?
It kind of sounds like he thinks he invented things.
You know what I mean?
Like there's a confidence.
Oh, yeah, a confidence.
No, we're not going to make a living doing that with Terb.
No, I have the answers.
I think we're hearing more of the montage there.
Oh, I got plenty.
Go ahead.
Oh, I thought you just had a problem.
change 30% of it. Why?
Well, they had a veteran quarterback.
This is every time he asked why.
Everybody's catching a ball and having to secure it.
Why?
Because at some point, they're all going to be touching the ball in the course of a game.
But we're always looking to add.
Those positions of need are always looking to add, why?
Because they're going to get into those situations.
We want to see certain guys, work against certain guys.
Why?
Because there's going to be a winner and they're going to be a loser.
Now, we do it something in the off season.
Please.
Why?
It's like a Garth Brooks bottom out.
Do you remember when we booked Cooper Rush?
Yes, I do.
Very dynamic.
No.
Really electric interview at Super Bowl.
Okay, don't be sarcastic.
What did you remember about him?
He was the worst interview I've ever participated in.
And I mean that from a, it was so bad that it couldn't be good.
Okay.
He was just so boring, right?
And he messed up the liner.
But they asked, they asked Brian Schottenheimer yesterday,
about, you're going to see Cooper Rush again this week
because they're playing the Ravens.
He's their backup now.
And here's what Brian Schottenheimer said.
Oh, I can't wait to see Coop.
I mean, Coop's the best.
I just loved his personality the way he was just so calm.
Yep.
Yeah.
Like, I've never, I can't imagine anyone giving the scotting report on him
as being, I love his personality.
Like his mom is like, he's a hard worker.
Unless it's me, because I don't want anybody to talk to me.
I love his personality.
He didn't say a word when he cut my hair.
That's not a good look.
You should get him to do your little stand-up then.
Coup's hilarious.
This is probably semantics, but this is my game.
I think he does a little contradiction here.
He's talking about practice and how great practice is.
You know, when you have a competitive practice, there should be back and forth.
There should be the offense makes a big play, and then the defense responds,
and then the defense makes a turnover, and then the offense calls.
scores a touchdown. Like, that's how you know your practices are competitive because there's the
back and forth. There's the good, the bad. And we talked a little bit today about sudden change
and capturing and seizing that momentum. Which is it? Do you want back and forth or are we trying
to just have fourth? Because I feel like momentum can't go back and forth because then that's not
anyway. Yes. You know it's all semantics and he's just using the word that he doesn't really
I also, I think just saying that what makes practice competitive is that both teams are making
plays is a poor judgment.
That's like bound to happen.
Yeah.
It should be like, are you getting better?
And I don't know, but I don't think most people are real thrilled with the trajectory of things
over camp out here.
I saw someone ask this, I think in our chat, if the Cowboys beat the Eagles in week one,
will Shottie march into the locker room and say, how about them, cowboys?
That is a great call, and the answer, probably 90% of it.
the answer is i guess we'll never know oh they're not beating eagles in week one
how about damn cowboys listen here's what we got and it's it sucks right but as much of a
douchebag as we think nick seriani is and he is it works up there like i think the guy's kind
of a pussy but he wears tough pretty well and the city supports him shoddy's going to try to do that
stuff but it's going to feel like dude perfect and it's going to feel like a yellow card and
youth minister and he's going to have like vibes are great shirts it's not going to be a shirt that
says like eat my ass i'm from billy do you know what i mean like he's if they get hot that's what
we're talking about right now is how they will handle success because how nixirondi handled
success was like beat dallas week or f dallas shirts or whatever it was shot he doesn't
he's not going to do that but he's going to do something it's going to be the flip side of it
It's going to be Faith of a Mustard Seat shirt.
You know what I mean?
That's going to happen.
So how about them Cowboys is certainly on the table.
Let them get to 10 and –
Dude, the first part of that schedule is soft.
Let them get to what?
What record?
They'll be 9 and 3.
Are you marking these things?
And then it will be, boy, yeah, I know, but it's December now.
What are they going to do?
I got one more.
It is – they're asking him what is – what is –
are his meetings like?
We always compete, find different competitions, whether it's golf, ping pong, you know, basketball,
whatever it is.
Today we showed a video, you know, breaking news of the AP Top 25, you know, coming out.
So Demo was all fired up here and Micah and Miles about, you know, Texas and Penn State being
up there high.
I do think that Florida got, you know, cheated a little bit.
I think we should be higher than 15, but people were quick to point out Mississippi State wasn't
on there.
So, yeah, Dak didn't really like that.
But I think, you know, to answer your question, I just, you know, I'm going to get my points across,
but I also don't want it to be like, all right, how much longer a shot he's going to go for?
What's wrong with that?
That's what they're in.
Guys love and bowl.
But I also like that Dan likes that he will refer to himself in third person.
It's – Dan McDowell is –
Somehow it's only possible if you have a nickname.
but also worse
and I know that we joke with the players
like he calls you you call him
he demands you call him shoddy but
I feel like that's a it's a implied demand
and I also think that's why a guy like Sam Williams
as you'll hear later it was like no
I call him coach I call him all coach
well you have limitations of bodies on the ground
and things like that and you know we're not going to play you
why because why would you put yourself at a disadvantage
bench and not carrying they want to see them have success
they want to see him do well
because why they're invested
I know
start with why
that's a book
I believe
all right
so let's move off of that
for a little bit
maybe you guys make some
some schedule predictions
are we done with Shadi
he'll be fired by Thanksgiving
that's the most insane
why we can't have a real
sports conversation
not by Thanksgiving
they'll get demolished by the chiefs
and fall to 2 and 8
and then he'll be fired
Don't forget that this program today and all week long has been brought to us by Flooring Direct DFW.
Why?
Why?
Because they have flooring direct DFW.com slash DZ.
Right now, 36 months, zero interest financing, and no money down.
Why?
Because they're your local lead.
They'll come to your house.
Why do we want to?
Anyway.
It's Flooring Direct, DFW.
Thank you for hooking us up here.
The Cowboys will have two rings by the time you pay a dime for these floors, folks.
I was thinking it's kind of like the...
You ever hear like a PBS show, RIP, PBS, right?
Thanks to viewers like you and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
But they'll be like, yeah, it's brought...
Today's show is commercial free.
Brought to you by DFW or Flooring Direct DFW.
dot com slash dz
well wait did you just do a commercial
uh-uh it's commercial free
thanking them they paid us
well wouldn't that be a commercial
no no no no no no you don't understand
don't you understand like PBS had done
this mind trick with me all these years where I would
listen to that commercial
I don't know just because I like the
the content I suppose
so we as we move off of shoddy
we'll get back
to the Cowboys in a little bit because we have
We have a Sam Williams interview that we did yesterday.
But first, a quick bout of...
The DumbZell presents today and Twitter.
Why?
Because I was sent this photo literally a million times.
It is Aaron Rogers, who is a big topic of our conversation.
last night at dinner
because ayahuasca was
was talked about quite a bit
Aaron Rogers
you have this photo
is sitting with Nico Harrison
at Steelers camp
why
like why would you be flying
Nico Harrison in
to talk to your
players like
it's pretty simple
I got to think
I know it's oh it's like the North
Carolina coach or something, right?
Probably knows him from Nike.
The North Carolina coach tweeted, like the North Carolina men's basketball coach said he's
at this, he's having lunch with Aaron Rogers and...
I thought he was just at Steelers Camp.
Well, he's at Steelers Camp, but I, okay, yeah.
Well, that would make sense.
I do know Nico and Kid went to Steelers Camp last year because, like, Mike Tomlin, as many
coaches will, you know, have people from other sports teams not in their league, you know, come,
speak about this and that and
I think it's pretty simple.
Like successful black male leadership
tends to stick with each other no matter what.
So Mike Tomlin's like,
Nico's a good guy. You know, everyone else is like...
You don't think the black community is ridiculing him
for this horrible trade?
More than, maybe less than others,
but not fully.
Look in the media.
Look at the guys who are like,
I don't know, maybe hear him out.
Like, everybody was throwing at Tim McMahon's head
because they were emotional
and acting irrationally,
but they're actually media.
members that yes of course i believe there's and i think white white guys do it too but yes that
picture to me is you know black guys of that class are going to stick together and mike tomlin
is all about that mike tomlin is definitely a guy who is you know hired uh staff that looks like him
if i feel like if he could and i don't blame him i just feel like that's just a stink you don't want to
put on the organization the nico harrison stink um it's not gonna end there dude because they're
Acting like nothing happened.
I mean, he's got Cooper Flagg now.
This is going to fade away.
Not with me.
Well, no, not with us.
But I'm not surprised by that at all.
Now, I also think Aaron Rogers is just in general, constantly probably thinking, what is going on?
Like, why am I here?
How am I sitting here with Mike Tomlin at 40-whatever years old I am, or close to it?
It's a real weird end of a career.
$30 million or whatever, right?
Right.
It's got to be an odd setting for him.
Oh, here's Nico Harrison and Mike Tomlin.
Yeah, it's real weird.
I thought you were going to say Aaron Rogers likes to zag when others are zgging or something and kind of like he wants to.
Nico's a non-linear thinker, man.
Nico, yeah, I want to think like him.
In fact, speaking of that, a guy who just wants to kind of go against the grain,
just see this can rile everybody up, another things that are back.
Yeezys.com.
The website's up and flying.
You can go buy your Yeeasies.
Do you remember when that was discontinued?
No.
Wasn't it?
I thought we couldn't buy Yeas for quite some time,
and it had a lot to do with World War II.
Yeah.
I could not give you a story that I have run away from more than whatever's happening with that guy
over the last five years or so.
I don't know.
I heard he, like, long.
lost a billion dollars and bought it back or something,
and there's a bunch of shoes in a warehouse.
I have no idea.
I don't care.
Okay, well, I'm just telling you.
That is a good back.
Dodgeball's back.
Midland Lee, high school is back.
Definitely.
Boobes.
Well, what's the list?
When did they?
When did boobs go out?
Oh, boobs are way back.
Sidney's sweet.
Oh, butts are gross.
Dance is thriving.
Sorority dance videos are back.
The left hates it, from what I understand.
The left doesn't like.
Good-looking ladies.
No, dude, I'm left, and it made me extremely soft.
Cursive is back.
Red Lobster is back.
HBO Max is back.
Yeah, they don't all fit the same.
Alcatraz.
Pete Rose, Alcatraz.
Dodgeball, John Gruden, Columbus Day.
These are all big ones.
The Gulf of America.
Dude, I saw the funniest video this morning.
So, you know, obviously Matt does, and Clayton does, but you know what Dennis Prager is?
Like a conservative commentator.
He has like this thing called Prager University.
I've heard the name.
It's like a curriculum program that they'll supply to Christian schools and stuff.
And they're trying to like change out the curriculum.
I think even in the Smithsonian to kind of fit what they say Trump's worldview.
And the guy, it's Christopher Columbus in a Prager U video.
And he's like, yes, lots of people had slaves and were slaves.
Wouldn't you rather be a slave than be dead?
I'm like, I don't know.
That's actually a huge.
assumption. And then the second one was
when considering slave owners
simply consider what were the
norms of the time.
Which is like valid
but a crazy thing
to me to be saying to like an
eight year old. Yeah.
I just, I don't know, it's animated
and it looks like a cartoon and Christopher
Columbus is like, being a slave is not
so bad. Why?
It's just shocking.
Yeah, it is better, I guess, to be
Christopher Columbus's slave than like
and local Indian chief
because they would have just killed them.
Yeah, but I think all of them were actually selling them.
But it's also a hypothetical.
Would you rather be dead or...
Or Eng and Chang's slave.
Or Eng and Chang's slave.
The world's lowest ranked slave.
We were doing good hypotheticals about how to get Luca back to the maps.
Would you give up...
We asked Jake, would you let the Rangers relocate?
Because Jake is talking about the Grom Day and just...
Yeah, but that one was easy.
Yeah, but he...
He's really into baseball.
I thought that'd be hard.
You got to start taking from the Cowboys.
And also, I'm only watching baseball because Luca left.
That's the quickest, cleanest transaction I did.
Putting Micah on the Eagles got him to think a little bit.
Well, that's probably going to happen anyway, so.
I do.
I don't know.
I am interested in the Cowboys thing from this angle, the Micah thing.
Jerry is now
Jerry's posture is now
like Micah challenged Jerry publicly
and I think that was a really bad move
I said it at the time
As time goes on that that opinion looks rosier
Yeah and I said it at the time
There's no way this is going to expedite this process
Because that would make Jerry look like
Like he does get bent over in the end on all of these things
But you know
It's never that linear that it's on you know
I demanded this and they got this.
Like, Micah doing that so publicly and then them signing him the next week would just be, oh, who just asked for a trade.
Jerry's like, look, like they were asking him yesterday, do you expect Micah to be playing week one?
He's like, yeah, he's under contract.
Like, he's not even acknowledging that this is going on.
Yeah.
And Micah, apparently maybe his people have said, you know what?
I don't think that worked for us
because Michael was asked about it
and he said my mouth is closed
like at least for now
we know how long that might last
but he's now at least saying
I am not, I'm just not even talking about
it so it's
I'm very interested in who's going to blink
and will he be signed before
week one
I'm not saying that he will
well yeah
but does he have the balls to start sitting out games
Machota seems pretty plugged in
And he yesterday's like, yeah, this is not, this will not be done until, you know, if at all, that day.
And maybe that's what this all is.
It'll just be a plan.
I mean, they're already going to own the day, but it'll probably get signed that week, if at all.
But I'm mostly interested in the possibility of if at all, because that's a pretty public spanking.
Probably the biggest one you'll ever take if you're Micah.
Oh, my back's better.
I'm going to run first team walk through today on Wednesday.
That's weird as hell, man.
That doesn't happen that often to superstar players.
No, it's very weird.
Like Drew Breeze?
Didn't he have a situation where the Saints were trying to play chicken with him
and then he didn't go to camp or something?
It was before camp and they got it settled by then.
Okay, because that's really the only other big one.
Right, it was because that was thought,
Quarterbacks don't ever sit out.
Like, quarterbacks do not hold out, actually not show up.
Like, Dak, he didn't.
He showed up, he did his stuff because he'll get paid eventually.
And that was the worry because they were going to slap the franchise tag on Drew Breeze.
Here's the other thing.
He was against that.
I think Micah made a massive mistake by showing up.
He thought he was trying to play the, they lured him into that.
They lured him into the public game with their comments about Trayvon,
leadership and guys who are here we expect leadership that's you want this big contract that
means you're a leader yes uh then he showed up probably i mean i'm assuming he knew the five
day rule like that if you leave you can oh his lawyer or uh agents certainly know that it's just
weird to me because you really box yourself in once you show up i actually went back and
was reading an article from two years ago the 2023 camp when zack
Martin was holding out.
He just didn't show up, right?
He did not show up.
Yeah.
And basically, I think the question to Jerry was, what sort of precedent does this set
having guys like him, Zach Martin, sit out?
And Jerry's answer, 2023, it's not about precedent.
It's about facts.
We need the money to pay Parsons.
We need the money to pay the players that we've got to pay in the future.
So it's not like they're not doing that, but they have been planning for this for a long time.
So when it comes down to the morning of game one, it feels a little bit performative to me.
It's two years ago.
They're talking about it.
They know exactly they're planning about it.
Everything went exactly the way that you thought it would, market-wise, price-wise.
There's no other reason than drama.
And sending a message to your player and your team.
just didn't go the way they thought it would after Dax signed his,
and that has retroactively later affected the Mika thing.
Do you want to do a field trip talk for you?
Yes, so Dan and I got here last Friday,
and on Saturday night made a trip into Hollywood.
And I had been told by a few listeners, Chris, Crypto Chris,
and a couple of other people, that Jurassic Park,
the original.
The original film would be shown on a screen at the Hollywood Bowl,
iconic venue that I'd never been to,
and that the L.A. Phil Harmonic would play John Williams' original soundtrack
from the movie while the movie was playing on the screen.
Oh, okay, I didn't realize that the movie would be playing on the screen.
Yeah.
I thought it was just like you were watching an orchestra play music from...
No, so you're up.
You can start just rolling through pictures.
This is the original movie, you say?
Yeah, I recently went and saw the new movie, and it was pretty mid.
But, yeah, so you can see the Hollywood Bowl in the background there.
I went with my friend Eric and his wife, Miho.
I think that's her name and not, like, a word they use for wife in Japanese.
I'm not sure.
Myho, yeah.
No, I actually didn't even put that together, but they actually dressed up for the movie.
and they dressed up as
they dressed up as Dr. Sadler and Dr. Grant
and they flipped their genders
so that was a nice play for everyone in the crowd
people stopping to take pictures with them
they went all out
they brought
first of all they're in costume
now the one problem here is that I was not aware of the costume
and I'm wearing a black hoodie
and it kind of looks like I'm trying to be
gold bloom and I just went like extremely half-ass so some people were like is he supposed to be
in it just awkward wouldn't you want to be gold bloom I definitely would but I'm also I also never
wore 88 when I played football because I know I didn't deserve it I'm what am I'm like I'm not
gold bloom but so there's a lot of people here for this it was full it was completely sold out
if you've never been to the Hollywood Bowl it's one of those uh you just should go if you're here
like for anything.
Matt Grimm's been a bunch of times living out here,
but I mean, it's incredible.
It's like Red Rocks in that it's open.
When there's no venues going on,
it's up in the mountains, up in the hills.
You've got to go up all manner of staircases.
You're like, it's elevation.
Your ears are popping.
And then, yeah, I had no idea what to expect.
The screen's pretty small, but it's the orchestra, right?
And I don't know if this is true or not.
I didn't look it up.
But I feel like if music is being played live as opposed to the exact same music coming through a PA,
I feel like my body feels it different.
Like I can feel sound waves coming off of like live music, even though they're miced.
I know that might sound ridiculous, but if you close your eyes and breathe, like when you're seeing a symphony,
you feel like you can like breathe what they're doing.
I think it's different.
I didn't do a good job of putting this into words, but I felt the same at Red Rocks.
Yeah.
Because the orchestra just somehow it just felt it was reverberating off the rocks and it just felt different.
You can feel that they're playing live.
And the cool thing was, obviously, you're not going to do this for every movie, but this is an iconic soundtrack.
Not just the main theme, but the whole movie, the score is, it's iconic.
And they apparently do this like once a year.
So they somehow have a movie, you can hear the dialogue?
Yeah.
Yeah, and they've stripped the music.
Okay.
They've stripped the music, and it's obviously very cool when they're doing big, sweeping things, you know, like wide.
But also just when they're kind of playing the tense music throughout the movie, like throughout the movie, it gets you way.
Dude, I've seen this movie 50 times, but it was like the first time.
I think it's extremely impressive.
Drawing you back in.
That they're able to do that.
You brought tissues?
So, uh, Miho brought tissues for us.
She's been to this before.
She brought tissues.
She brought...
For what?
In case even one of us cried, and I got very close.
And she did.
And she brought...
She cried.
I've cried watching this movie before, dude.
Because you know what it is?
I still think about the first time I saw this movie when I was eight years old.
And it was like, I don't know.
It was mind-blowing to me, the possibility of, like, what could happen.
And then also, if you think back on it,
like fern gully movies like this they're clearly planting the seed for like fuck corporate america
they're going to screw everything up nature is what's real like the whole movie's about
how big companies are going to try to make money off this beautiful natural thing and that's like
it's just a blueprint for life that they're handing you so i was hooked the dinosaurs you're hooked
so yes i will cry sometimes because i'm a gash but
here's the intro
So you just...
That would be cool to see live.
That coming right at you is like the screen's just like dinosaur.
You're like, holy shit.
Yeah.
And you're, you know, you're pretty far away,
but they have screens for the symphony too
and they're all just...
So, uh, it was really, really cool.
And there's, it's an interesting crowd, okay?
So, obviously, big dork factor, big time, right?
But Jurassic Park is for everyone.
All languages, the people in front of me did not speak English in their conversations with one another.
But the guy knew every word of the movie.
Big, big Latino guy
And he knew every single word
He could do every voice
He didn't, but it was clear that he could when he wanted to
Okay, I was about to say he didn't translate
The entire time
Pretty close
That's annoying
Everybody was loving it
Seriously
There's no amount of being into Jurassic Park
Where people were going to be like
That guy's super into Jurassic Park
No, but I'm saying
Everyone could just be as, you know what I mean?
He's talking the entire time
Somebody could have walked in their dress as like a Velociraptor.
People thought, king of the castle.
But it was weird.
Now, a movie like that, it's not funny.
All of the lines in it that are supposed to get a laugh are ghost tour.
And so you get an entire crowd.
And you also get cheers when certain characters appear on the screen.
Because at the time, Jeff Goldblum was famous, but I think he became way more
famous, Helen Hunt, for sure, even, you know, Beattie Wong, who we'll get to.
But here's the one that really entertain me.
It's the DNA strand.
Oh, Mr. Deany, where did you come from?
From your blood?
Just one of your blood contains billions of strands of DNA.
Okay.
I know you're not that familiar with this movie, but the fact that people are cheering the
cartoon strand of DNA.
Like, it's a guitar solo.
Like, damn, we haven't seen that thing in a while.
What?
Oh, Mr. D.D.E., where did you come from?
From your...
Just our chair, right then?
It's just a little clipy on the screen.
Here it is for B.D. Wong.
We've got to show love.
Oh, good day, sir.
Oh, yeah, yeah, B.D. Wong, I know him.
Same sort of deal.
This is like when you'd go to Alamo Draft House back in the day.
Big quotes.
And you know, this is the quote of the movie.
So I'm kind of control of your attempting is
it's not possible.
This is one thing, history of evolution is tossed.
It's that life will not be contained.
Life breaks free, expands to the territories,
and crashes through barriers painfully,
maybe even dangerously, but...
Oh, that is.
You're implying that a group composed entirely as female animals
will breathe?
I'm simply saying that life finds a way.
So life finds away.
That's the key.
Here's another one.
This is Samuel L. Jackson's first time on screen.
Hold on to your butts.
just an absolute dork fest and i was in a pig and slop how hard is it to get in and out of there
so here's a concept i was introduced to i'm sure every big city to a degree has this but i was
informed of the concept of stack parking because not everybody leaves the Hollywood bowl after a show
And I don't think you have to.
So you could be in a parking lot with two cars blocking you in
if you park at the Hollywood Bowl.
So what you're looking for...
So you get there late.
You're driving around.
Being the last one in, you're good.
Well, that's one way to do it.
But they have lots in Hollywood with huge signs that say, you know,
60 bucks, no stack parking.
And I ended up finding one of those.
In fact, it was like 40 by the end of it.
But still, it's a thing.
I mean, and it's a madhouse down there
for when there's a show.
I mean, in fact, when I was watching
one of the many police chases I've watched
this week, the guy
was like, oh, there's a show at the Bulldenite, that's going to be
a major problem because it
creates traffic that there's nowhere
for it to go. But it
is an awesome scene
out there. And I
don't know. I could not recommend something like
this enough if you have the chance to go do it.
But this is another real late night
for you, right?
the...
So we went...
Didn't you go eat dinner after?
Yes, we went to...
Who are these people?
There are people who live in L.A. and don't have kids.
You know what's cool is like...
Kind of lame, but I remember when we'd be out here,
we'd be at the Super Bowl, and Gordon would be like,
oh, yeah, I'm going to go in and hang out with my friend in L.A.
And the concept of that for someone who didn't drink was insane to me.
I was like, you're going to do what?
He's going to go hang out?
Like, at a restaurant or a bar?
What are you?
Like, I didn't under, because you didn't do that.
You're like, yeah, I don't drink.
So I go to my room and hang out by myself.
I'm like, well, that's what I would do.
That's what I would do if I didn't drink.
Especially if you're out with a bunch of other people who are drinking.
Yeah, but even, but now it's like, so the show was at seven.
And it was going to be very hard to eat dinner before that.
So we had like an 11 o'clock ramen dinner.
And I left it one and got back at like 2.30.
So 11 p.m. L.A. time.
Yeah, me and her.
So the first day that we're here, your body is still on Texas time.
You were eating a full dinner at 1 a.m.
Yes.
A full dinner of ramen.
This guy, can you believe how much he's eaten on this?
I mean, I ate the same amount that an adult male and an adult female ate at that setting.
But yes, no, I've been on a power hosting.
But you're at five or six times, five or six meals a day guy.
Like, I'm at dinner with you.
Let me tell you, boy, something.
As bad as it's been, when we get done here today, there's nothing we have to do until
be at the airport tomorrow.
There's no come back out for the field.
There's no prep.
There's no edit.
We need three more meals.
Pete's tomorrow morning?
I'm in for that.
There you go.
Well, we're definitely going to Spencer McKenzie's once more.
Yes.
Because I haven't been there in over 24 hours.
Yeah, you're in the shakes.
I think Matt Graham won the Spencer McKenzie's.
Definitely did.
I would like Frodo one more time.
Oh, just four?
Two more today, though.
I might have hit a wire with my foot.
No, the light came back on.
I do have a couple of other small observations.
I think we've pointed this out and we've been out here before.
It may just be a, it just makes sense.
But the LAPD has the hottest damn cops in the world.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Dudes?
It's just like the, yes.
Yes.
True, truly.
It's just like the Ron White thing we were watching.
the other night about beautiful people in California.
So what happened to the...
The cops are hot.
I'll let you, Rodney King me any time you want, Miss.
Bash my skull in.
Oh, yeah.
Wasn't there a Twitter thing with the hot L.A. cop at one time?
I'm sure.
There was a today and Twitter we did a couple months ago.
Yeah, I'm sure.
But yeah, it's a pretty place, man.
Pretty cops.
So the other day, we went to Spencer's at like 3.30 local.
And then you had pizza at 6.
ish, and then
ice cream at 11?
Didn't eat four of the Yassau bars?
I don't know.
That was the other night, like four Yassau
bars, and then a couple hours later was
the Ben and Jerry's and the Reese's ice cream order.
I don't...
Then you had a Popeye's around 11 the other night.
Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry.
I guess, you know what? I'm sorry.
I was mistaken. I thought I was hanging with the boys.
Well, I didn't get an offer of, hey, do you want anything
from DoorDash?
It seemed like it was kind of a solo move
You were in bed
And you're a liar
I offered you a chicken sandwich the other day
I was just hoping I would get a gas bar
Yeah, after the DoorDash got there
You said do you want this spicy chicken sandwich
I wasn't offered on the front end of what can I get
Well it was a bogo
I was taking conviction
This is insane
But you would think Dan, like at midnight
What is something non-acidic I could eat
That settles my stomach
Now how about the spiciest chicken
This place can offer
It was like ghost pepper as well
you were asleep well asleep
trust me
no I'm not
how about that
go ahead
I'm not here to
I know you're a friend
I'm here to
lift you up
where are you
your eating performance this week
is godlike
let me tell you something
I'm impressed
you know how much that shit
like right there means to me
I know I was built to play offensive line
well and that's a big man
my bones and body
He just didn't work out for it.
That's me.
No, I wish I could eat like you.
A big man who loves ordering DoorDash fast food and knows all the deals just said that he's in awe of the majority.
That means a lot to me.
Dude, and I am going to destroy this afternoon.
Send me your requests and I'll eat it.
We got free dinner last night.
The company's in the black on meals.
Last night was so good.
Last night was great.
I have another today in Twitter.
I forgot about it.
You guys just want to keep D.R.
Oh, yeah.
And then we'll do whatever you want.
Then we'll throw it to, we'll do Sam Williams here in a minute.
Okay, yeah, let's do this.
I have one more today in Twitter.
It's a Seattle thing, Clayton.
So I saw this video last night.
Apparently this is from a story that unfolded on August 5th.
It's from Seattle.
And when you think of Seattle, I mean.
I think of Belichick.
That's a good point.
Gum all.
But culturally, like, I know that it has the...
12th man...
...reputation of, like, homelessness and dirt...
But I don't think of it as, like, a confrontational...
People are fighting with guns type place.
I think of, like, you know, hit...
I was going to say hippies, but anarchists, like, taking over a town or, you know, graffiti and stuff,
but I don't imagine it...
You think of...
I think of grounding, maybe?
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
But not, like, hey, two guys got in a little scum.
shuffle and pulled pistols.
No, more of a, I sat in, I did a sit-in.
Right, yeah, I chained myself to his house to let me know I was pissed off.
So I glued myself to the stuff.
So when I saw this video, and it's very much taking place like in an identifiably Seattle-looking place, I was blown away.
So I think if you play it with the audio, you might be able to get the image here.
There's a guy in a wheelchair.
There's a guy in a wheelchair out in front of a Starbucks.
The wheelchair has an American flag in the bag.
As the guy in the wheelchair is reaching into his bag,
another guy across from is reaching into his bag,
he pulls a pistol, white guy,
he just shoots the black guy in the wheelchair.
The old man of the wheelchair, the younger white guy.
Well, you don't want to shoot a guy in a wheelchair.
Point blank, dual, like, what did you say,
12 to 15 feet away?
Oh, yeah.
So.
I'd say,
yeah, he's about a third and short away.
A little football in mind.
Okay.
No?
Not going to give me that one?
It's not bad.
Maybe a long two.
So the guy in the wheelchair is in, honestly, what makes it a lot funnier, a motorized wheelchair,
because it kind of has like a jerky joystick.
But he doesn't appear to me moving around very quick.
Well, he's not moving around very quick, but he is reaching into a bag that's in his lap.
And it appears like he's pulling a gun.
Now, also funnier, on the back of the motorized wheelchair that the older black man is in,
there is an American flag on the back of it.
He appears to be reaching into a bag like he's looking for a gun.
And then this dude, probably 50, just pulls a gun out of a duffel bag and goes,
don't you pull a gun on me?
And then shoots the guy.
Point blank.
Yeah, I feel like he's going to get in trouble for that.
Here's the insane part.
The guy, the accused, the shooter,
says that this was over stolen valor.
What does that mean?
Like that they were fighting.
The old black guy pretending he was a veteran?
He was a veteran.
And this white guy, the younger guy, demanded to see his military ID.
So he's not even sure if it's stolen valor.
He just thinks of it.
He's like, I don't know.
You don't look like you're built for it, you know?
And so the older guy.
As many 70-year-olds don't.
Right, yeah, the older guy.
Like, take a look at, like, who is it that we can't believe played in the NFL, you know, guys like that.
Right, right.
Or, you know what it's like is, you know, hey, you still got your legs.
What's going on there?
Buzz.
Buzz.
Steve Busby.
Steve Busby.
Oh, yeah.
No hitter.
Like, yeah, if you, I feel like that stolen baller, Steve Busby, there's no way a guy looking like you through no hitter.
Yeah.
So this guy was pissed about it.
And the older guy, the stolen valor guy.
starts to pull an air soft pistol that he carries out of a little hobo bag.
Hobo bag.
You know what?
I take offense.
And the guy just shoots him.
Now, the guy lived.
Stable condition, serious but stable condition.
But yeah, I mean, this is a new twist on like a homeless fight.
Nice.
That's a day in Twitter.
Oh, and if we're emptying out our bag real quickly before we throw it to Sam Williams,
I will tell you that I got my mom's football text of the week.
Where is she just texted me?
Let's see if I can find it.
We might need an open at some point.
Because she loves watching the local news.
And she loves telling Danny, that would be me to my mom,
about, you know, things going on with the Browns.
Because she still thinks I'm in junior,
high, and I really care about the Browns.
So she says Sanders is already injured.
Oh, no.
We didn't talk about him ever.
Shador.
What?
Well, there was just a very weird scene, you know, where he, on his way into his first game,
you know, he's doing what he's going to do, but he's got a boombox and like 17 people
surrounding him, like almost like a key and peel version of what you would think, you know,
an NFL hot shot quarterback would be.
And then after the game, he's like confronting a columnist.
Oh, Tony Garcia, I saw that one.
Tony Grosy was like an old man when I was living in Cleveland.
Yeah, we've talked about him before.
And it's like, okay, the guy's just doing his job.
He may not like it.
But it's really not a good thing.
You got to give Dak this.
And I'm not saying that he was always like this,
but I also think John Machota's right.
Dak is unique in this regard.
And you guys are such haters.
He won't even acknowledge the few things he does well.
But, like, his ability to not let things get to him in a way where he shows it.
I think that's an important quality for a quarterback.
What you over there freaking out?
I don't need that.
The best quarterbacks you're going to be around, not the most fun, but the best are the ones that you're like,
it doesn't seem like this guy's about to panic.
And if you're fucking around with a columnist after the game, like, what do you do?
After preseason game number one, where you have a little success?
Two touchdowns?
I know, but...
No, that's not how you...
I mean, come on, dude.
That's the same thing with Mansell that I was...
Maybe do your victory dance after, like, an actual game.
Yeah, that's...
How about don't?
Because you're the quarterback.
And that doesn't mean you can't, like, have swag and talk shit.
I just don't think that that's the way I want my quarterback to bowl.
I don't like it.
I think Dak did take offense to...
The dude perfect thing was a different...
The house.
That, I was not going to bring that up, but...
people, the reporters, when they said, hey, did you know Joe Flacco has more rushing yards than you?
And then he goes out the next game and tries to run and gets hurt.
I mean, yes.
Sort of, if you tried to use those data points in a line, that did happen.
But I don't think that's him, like letting the media ruin the vibe in the room.
Like if your quarterback is doing that sort of thing, like Shadur, and he's the starter at some point,
You can't, I mean, you literally can't do that.
It's going to cause so many problems in your locker room.
It's just not worth it.
What is the upside?
It's personal.
And that's a thing.
If you're the quarterback, I don't need to have it shoved in my face that you think it's all about you.
We all already know it's about you.
You just have to carry it like you're one of us or one of them.
And I think that's a very important quality that he does not possess.
Today's program in all week.
brought to you by our camp sponsors.
Our title sponsor, Flooring Direct, DFW,
where you can go to flooring, direct, dFW.com slash dZ,
and schedule an in-home visit.
Imagine being able to get your floors done,
and you didn't have to go showroom to showroom.
No show.
New floors.
You don't have to just imagine it anymore.
Well, I know, but I don't have money for a down payment right now.
No down payment.
No down payment for equipment.
But you're going to slap me with interest.
No interest.
No interest.
No interest.
36 months.
And I'll tell you something else.
Over a year.
No one knows exactly how long it is.
I'm looking over you,
little shrimp, man.
You can't move that furniture back by yourself.
Oh, I forgot.
Yeah.
Your wife's like, oh, who's going to do it?
Me, FlooringDirectDefW.com.
Dude, I do know someone who got their floors done and they had to like get movers.
And they got movers to move the stuff out for a couple weeks.
and then they had to pay movers to move it back in.
Flooring Direct.
I don't love it.
We'll do that for you.
Also, Moxie Energy.
Hello.
Moxie Energy drink.
It is Drinkmoxie.com.
Apparently, this is not available in stores right now,
but if you go to Drinkmoxie.com, get some delivered to you.
It has mushrooms in it.
If you're into the energy drink, give it a shot.
But not the mushrooms that are bad, right?
The good mushrooms that make you live forever or something.
Yes.
Is that the good copy point?
The only mushrooms that are bad are the ones they put on, like, food.
Well, not the mushrooms that are bad as far as legally, all that kind of stuff.
I guess if you're a servant to the law, but me and drinkmoxie.com, more of its master.
And let's give love to Silverback Construction and Nate over there, and then Sean Kernan of 360.
What?
Not maybe we do.
Do you want to do a gorilla thing?
No.
Sean Kernan, he says, if you can't spell IRA and your 401K is more like a 201K is more like a 201K,
call someone else, but if you have sit-in money and want to keep doing what you do, Playboy,
call me Sean Kernan 360 wealth management.
All right, do we have the ability to time travel, Clayton, all the way to yesterday?
And hear us talk to Sam Williams of the Dallas Cowboys.
Well, we're all ready.
This is brought to us by Flooring Direct, our camp sponsor, Flooring Direct, I should say.
And joining us now is the great Sam Williams, big Sam.
So, everybody.
As his socials will inform you.
And a big happy moment at the end of practice today with a pick six.
Yeah.
That's pretty sweet.
You make cowboy fans real happy and mad a little bit.
So I was down on the other end where you were running to.
And so you're going nuts.
Everybody's going crazy.
But I didn't see how it started.
Uh, and I said, uh, what happened, you know, was it a fumble?
He said, pick six.
And I said, uh, who threw it?
And then the guy's like, the usual, DAC, like he's all mad.
So it's, it's tough to be a cowboy fan when watching practice.
Because, uh, you know, you're, you're beating your own team.
Yeah, that's, I mean, that's what it's about, you know, eye and sharp an eye.
Yeah.
Have you ever had a pick six in a game?
Nah.
Never.
Not college or anything, not high school?
What did you do in high school?
Did you just play defense?
I played, it was nose.
My senior year, that was my first year playing football.
That was your first year playing football?
Mm-hmm.
How come?
Oh, I was a hooper.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, I was playing basketball.
Yeah, there's an interesting note on the Wikipedia page.
Not a lot of info, so you can skate passes if you want.
It says he quit playing basketball.
He was expelled for playing with a knife.
And I'm like, that feels like a third grade crime.
On the court?
But it makes it look like he was playing the game with a knife.
And they were like, listen, that's just too much.
And he's like, it's not in the rule book.
I'm going to play with a knife.
Yeah, no, that's not what happened.
Do you want to follow up on that?
No, we can talk about football.
Okay, well, let's talk about football then.
Second round draft pick.
You look good the first couple of years,
and then it looked like you're kind of getting little, dare I say, momentum at the end of year two.
racking up some sacks at the end there.
And then it all comes crashing down last year, right?
At about this time.
I mean, some people say came crashing down,
but I say it all came together, you know?
I needed that.
And seeing my film from now and then, I mean, it's night and day.
And the way I approach the game, the way I care for the game,
and the way I just try to prepare myself
and try to become a pro every day.
I feel like I needed that injury because I missed it.
You know, we take a lot of things for granted,
but when it's taken away from you,
you can see, like, how much it means
and how much you need it, you know what I mean?
So I feel like I won't call it a downfall law.
I mean, I just, I'll call it a needed moment.
It was just a moment.
I'm back.
I read an article that Clarence did on you
about that whole time away,
And I love the perspective, you know, especially at your age to have something like that happen, you could get real down.
But to take it as a moment to reassess everything.
And then not to get like too personal, but I read in his article like, hey, I had to learn about myself.
I had to learn about the people around me.
I started going to therapy and this and that.
There was one quote in there that really stuck out to me because it's something I had to deal with, which was like having conversations with close friends and family that you kind of need to change what they are in your life.
Right.
And I was in a position where I was like, I don't know how to do that.
And people are like, where do you go to therapy for?
I'm like, because they tell me how to tell my family, you got to chill a little bit.
So is that like part of what you learned there?
It's like people that have been with you your whole life, you love them, but you're like, things have to change a little bit.
And it's just a point of, what, therapist, he's, what is it called, unbiased.
So he's not showing favoritism to me.
He's not showing favoritism to this particular family member, friend, cut, whatever.
he's not so he just give you real like real advice you know it's not a command it's not it's not like
you should do this he'll just give me advice the advice i take it and i apply it to my situation
you know what i mean so that's tools yeah it's tools and yeah i mean like the first time
you have like a conversation with that like some of your family like that's like what is happening
i'm like i'm talking you like an adult and it's just that's how i had to learn it was cool to see
that's how old's your son he's oh i got two kids from
Four and one.
Four and one.
Well, almost two and five.
Okay.
So I imagine that complicates the rehab a little bit.
Like, you're just dad mode at the same time?
Yeah.
When I first got my surgery, I tried to be that.
But, you know, having a one-year-old and a four-year-old, they want to play.
And it came down to where they always, like, hit my legs and stuff.
But they didn't understand that it was hurt, you know.
You're Superman.
Yeah.
In their eyes, yeah.
So that was my, I want to say, most depressing moments when I had to tell my kids I couldn't play or where they had, or where I had to go in the room and they stay in the living room because they want to jump on me and stuff, especially like the first couple months when I just had surgery.
It was pretty tough.
I mean, so funny story is, my mom, she was there.
It was on the 21st.
I got the surgery, the 20th, the 21st I got released to go back home.
and my kids was over there
and my four-year-old
he wanted to go to the park really bad
so I got up
crutched like three blocks away to the park
first day out of surgery and I regretted it
but my mom
she talked to me and she was like
some things you just can't do
you know I got
I made it to the park
but when I got to the park
swell man
it was it was bad
so they had to go get the car
and bring me back to the house
but yeah that's probably was the worst part of this whole injury just being able
to be that superman for my kids well i think it's awesome you take the positive out of it too
because they'll get a lot more out of that in the long run than anything else i think it's awesome
um it probably took you a while to gain that perspective though right like right after you get
injured well at first so what happened was when i got injured i stayed down here for a couple of days
and it was miserable because I went to the, I mean, the training room for like maybe 45 minutes.
The rest of the time I was in this room looking at four walls, hearing the horn, hearing the whistle.
Like, it was bad.
And then I went to, so I taught the coach, I like, coach, I can't be here.
It's like depressing, you know, I'm here in a room by myself, you know.
So he let me go home.
and um it was i i went to do rehab at star academy with uh this lady called tatyani so she was just
encouraging me telling me like oh people come back because i never been injured so i don't know
like what this this thing is so she's telling me players came back from it you know players came
back and being pro bowlers and all this kind of stuff so after that like we just got to work
As soon as I, the next day I landed from Oxnard to Dallas, we just got to work, got to work, got to work.
I started walking without my crutches.
I started being able to bend my knee.
I start doing little exercises, like one-leg exercises.
And then I had to come back and get surgery, we'd start the whole process over.
And then when I was with the Cowboys, I mean, Brett and Mr. Jim, they encouraged me.
Hansen encouraged me and it was just like there ain't no point of being inside anymore like
I can't do nothing about it so let's just take it and I go go to work every day some six days a
week when the on the the team was in the building I was in the building working working working working
and the resorts I mean is that how he told us to ask you about this but is that how you became
the 2025 offseason program sharpshooting champion or is that strictly free throws oh yeah
That was basketball.
That was basketball.
He ended up press conference.
Like, you have to ask him what that means.
I'm like, well, it's probably basketball, coach.
I don't think there's a rifle out here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I won the Golden Whistle Award.
Me and Dak did.
That was players who got hurt and did everything they could to be back on time.
I love it.
Yeah, we won that.
Me and that was playing at work this off season.
The first time your coach was asked about you,
I love listening to a new cowboy coach talk
because I don't know.
I get tired of him quick.
But in the first year,
love it and uh he was asked hey how's sam doing when's he going to be back and when do you expect
him to maybe be able to work back in with the team yeah biceps look huge uh i mean his arms
no he's uh he's doing great what is that he's right yeah biceps look you so great your coach
thinks you're ripped yeah they were tiny before you got injured no you know the first couple
months i couldn't do legs so it's straight upper body and four yeah let's get it johnny bravo
You're talking about, like, four months of just straight upper body.
Can you call him anything but shoddy or?
We want to mix it all.
We're trying to get tactical shoddy guns.
I just be like coach.
Coach.
I call all on coach.
What are coach?
No shot?
Okay, because I, like, sawed off for shoddy.
Like, let's take shoddy and run with it.
Did you know his name before this year?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was always that coach that, you know, taught everybody, you know?
He wasn't, this is not a front.
Like, he'd been like this when Mike was here.
like so yeah everybody knew he was and everybody was excited when he got the chance okay good one of the
great bits here at camp was uh it was people rallying to show support for micha with their
social media profile pictures and just massive respect for the sam lillians just changed his to
sam williams oh no that was just like on some other stuff but it went ain't had nothing do with mica
because like as you see i just made a um a profile for my uh tf clothing page
So it's just like
Basically like I'm trying to clean up my page
So they can see who Sam is
And then I'm gonna incorporate it with the FTF page
So it's all like coming together
So when you see San Williams
It's gonna be connected to FTF
And when you see FTF is gonna be connected with Samuels
You got a website you want to promote
Oh it's FCF clothing.com
But everybody tripping because it's no men stuff
But the men stuff
I went on there last night
Do you know? I was like who's this woman
Yeah
A female model, very attractive model
but I don't think I could fit in it.
Yeah, but the men and stuff is at the house right now,
but we're at camp.
So when I get the camp, you know,
we got to do the photo shoot,
add it to the website and stuff like that.
But it's all coming in.
Businessman.
Yeah.
Does your kid have a Instagram page?
Oh, yeah.
They do.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
It feels like that's lady driven, right?
Yeah, his mom running and stuff.
Okay, he's got like a four-year-old has an Instagram page.
Yeah, well, I think Tyler Booker has an Instagram page for his turtle.
Yeah, he does.
Natural.
True.
Okay, so, all right.
Let's talk Alabama.
Okay, yeah.
You're from Alabama.
Born in Mobile?
Did you ever live in Mobile?
No, I never lived in Mobile.
Okay, are you familiar with the Alabama Lepricon?
No.
Okay, that was a Mobile thing.
Are you familiar?
So then you went to Montgomery, and that's where you grew up?
No, I grew up in a small, like, it's like a village called Rabina, Alabama.
It's in the middle of Prattville and Clinton.
I've heard of Clinton.
Yeah, so Clinton, Alabama, it's small.
Like, we still got dirt roads and all that.
Like, me and my brother, like, so how our house was,
it was like this house, and it was like this big field.
Me and my brother, so we only got, like,
a couple pair of shoes for school,
so we couldn't, like, play with our shoes outside.
So me and my brother will go in the field.
We'll pick up, like, rocks and sticks,
and we'll chase rabbits.
We'll chase ears.
That is so well, Alabama.
And we'll, like, sometimes, you believe it or not,
we call.
We caught a few things.
Like, we caught a few things.
Like, we'll corner it.
Like, I think that's why I'm fast.
That's like Rocky style, you know, chasing the chicken or whatever.
And then, like, when we, like, we'll be at church and, like, all the kids go outside and play.
And, like, mind you, we're on dirt roads, but we can't mess up our shoes.
We'll take our shoes, socks, and run on dirt road.
Race.
It was crazy.
I love it.
Well, they're giving us to get out of here, sign.
How are you with...
Well, I just want to ask the other things about Montgomery.
Just the...
Because we do have Montgomery.
We have some very big...
things that have happened over the years there do you are you familiar with the Montgomery
mini mall the the old flea market commercial I've been back in Montgomery in three years
dinettes this was when you're a kid at the market we're talking about flea market
Montgomery it's just like a mini mall okay but then the other thing was the Montgomery
did you know that happened last year oh yeah at the um the renaissance or something like that
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
But you haven't been back to Montgomery.
You were not involved in the Montgomery Broll.
No, no, no.
I don't fight.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
How are you with needles?
I mean, I got tattoos.
Could you give this to me?
What do you mean?
Could you give this to me?
Like, I already ran it by Braun.
I got to take a shot every day.
No, no, no, no.
Okay.
I had to ask.
He's looking for somebody to administer a shot there.
Yeah.
It's a very quick evening.
I was going to go shoddy, but if you don't, it's all good.
I had to ask.
all right well we wish you well for this year
we're expecting huge things
I think double digit sacks
your biceps look massive
your biceps are big
Johnny was correct
thanks man we appreciate you
appreciate your time
that is the great Sam Williams
everybody yeah
Our last day at camp
At Dallas Cowboys training camp, that is.
So the Cowboys, I think Deja Blue is one of their, like their water sponsor, right?
Probably owned by Pepsi or whatever they use.
Yeah, no doubt.
So give us a live one.
Oh, live what?
No, no puppy.
Oh.
The puppet.
No puppet.
No puppet.
So, Deja Blue is there.
So they have these big giant water vending machines that are set up so you don't have to pay.
You just have to push the number and it'll give you one.
And there's a million waters in each one.
And they're free.
So, you know, take a couple.
Take a couple for the road.
Drink couple during the show.
and I look at Blake during
while we were playing the
replaying the Sam Williams interview
and he's drinking a
what is the water you're drinking?
Why aren't you drinking the free Deja Blue?
I brought Arrowhead.
You bought Arrowhead?
Yeah, I brought it from the house.
Yeah.
Oh, he didn't buy it.
We bought it.
I was like, this is Save Money Guy.
Actually, I bought one of these on my own.
He's committed to the brand.
This is what, honestly,
Honestly, this is why I came out here.
Yeah.
It was not camp.
I left my one week old at home for Arrowhead.
So last year, these guys transported what?
Ten cases for you?
Yeah, something like that.
Like we had an RV, and he had him stacked up in the shower.
It was so much that my car had a hard time on the highway.
When you drove him home?
I could tell, like going up on, yeah, the overpasses that I was struggling.
And because you have this big water cooler type thing at home, a water cooler,
and you will just pour individual bottles into that big giant thing.
I did, yeah.
It took about a case and a half per five gallon.
But it bought me a few months supply of water.
Are you doing this again for these guys?
They're driving back.
Well, I was talking to Matt earlier.
The thing with the case of water is if you buy four or more, they're half price.
So that's just a hell of a deal.
So you have, it's out of your hands, you have to buy it for it.
But it's hard to transport.
So at our vons, they have two and a half gallon bottles that I'm going to buy them out of to take back home.
But we have to give it to them.
Like, they're leaving right after the show.
That's why I had to load up the kettlebells.
Yeah.
Because Matt Graham is a maniac.
It's cannibal.
Yeah, but this is not new information to him.
He knew this when he signed up to drive.
So, Matt, you feel like it is possible.
for you to beat me back to my house.
That's the plan.
You're going to be home about 5.30, 6 o'clock tomorrow.
Yeah.
We'll be waiting.
They're going to leave right after the show now.
Well, right after a burrito.
Yeah, we're going to spend the first.
Well, first we're going to get a burrito, and then we're apparently now you're going to Vons.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
He knew.
Oh, okay.
In the plan.
He knows the deal.
Just because he's nodding and smiling doesn't mean he wants to do it.
I don't.
See, there's the, there's the truth.
Okay, let's start to listen.
Things Clayton wants to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's not a concern we register anymore.
But when Matt signed the contract of driving us,
he knew he'd be Mule and Arrowhead Water East.
He's eastbound and down.
Thanks, Matt.
I respect it.
Want to do some news?
Sure.
Here's Jane with the Dumb Zone News.
Listen.
Okay, good start.
Who starts the news with Listen?
I know you guys are tired of my obsession with it,
but there's just so much of it.
Oh, I'm not up.
This is Cali News.
So last night.
No, dude, you don't want to let me up.
Go ahead.
No, you made the sounder.
Never mind.
It's time for cool, not cool.
That was not cool, Blake.
That was not cool.
So we've talked about how hot the anchors are and how crazy the stories are.
And I think this first story I'm going to play for you kind of highlights that.
There's a lady on the 7 o'clock or 6 o'clock.
I don't know.
But the women out here usually attractive on TV, but if not, very much trying to be.
And they have so much going on with their face and their mouth and their lips that I feel it affects their delivery.
and you get pill mouth.
We're going to start with a guy here
who's going to throw it to pill mouth.
Justin Aguila and Andrew Kineppa,
both from Southern California,
were shot from behind while waiting for a ride to the airport.
Authorities still have no motive in the case.
We've seen a lot of police pursuits in Los Angeles,
but this was a first 18.
You hear it, right?
Yeah. Okay. Well, good.
We've seen a lot of police pursuits in Los Angeles,
but this was a first 18.
on a mini bike trying to outrun police on the 110 freeway.
So she's doing herself no favors here because this is an insane story
and she's trying to punctuate it,
but her lip mouth and pill mouth makes it seem as if she's just high.
Mid-50s, maybe early 60s.
Oh, I was going to guess mid-40s trying to hang on.
But then again, it may be, right?
All these women look older now because they're trying to look younger.
The mid-20s ones are pumping their faces up and they look mid-30s.
Listen how pilly this sounds.
On a mini bike trying to outrun police on the 110 freeway.
Fox 11's Gigi Gracia.
Oh, no.
Fox who?
I'm sorry, Fox who?
And let me tell you something.
When we throw it out to Gigi in the field, if you think she's all natural.
On the 110 freeway, Fox 11's Gigi Gracia has a story.
Gardena police have identified the pursuit suspect as 18-year-old.
You hear the pill mouth, right?
Heavy jaw.
We've got facial alterations affecting our broadcasts.
Gardina Police have identified the pursuit suspect as 18-year-old Herardo Casillas of Los Angeles,
and he is in quite a lot of trouble facing several felony charges because of this.
I didn't pull the video for you, but let me tell you, it's amazing.
It is a teenager who's on a mini bike.
Yes, like a bike you would see in the circus with a dwarf,
and he's going about 45 through Hollywood,
and the police are just chasing him.
He ends up on the freeway, going the wrong way.
What can they do?
What pit maneuver is there for a tiny little motorbike?
They can't get him off of it.
They have to chase him for hours.
Bumpin.
Until he runs out of gas on the 101.
It's a great story.
It certainly was an unusual.
pursuit a mini bike hitting a mini bike hitting speeds of 40 to 60 miles an hour on city streets
and on the freeway it started just before 11 you get the idea i feel like when we go back to
texas next week can you still do la news it's great listen to gg sign off i think i uh
I think I left it in.
He wasn't alone.
There was actually another person
on another unlicensed mini bike.
That person...
That person got away for now.
In Gardena, Gigi Grosiette.
Well, I might as well quit now
because that's the story of the day.
That is the video.
Hard to drop that one.
Oh, the little tiny bike.
Are we having...
so much fun.
I'd love to ask her who was in Austin Powers.
My burst.
Mini me.
Oh, okay, yeah.
How do I say this word, Van Nuys?
Van Nuys a community near here in the Los Angeles area.
This story was on every channel last night.
In fact, I saw it making some national news today of like a culture war thing, which is when
you know a news story has really made it.
So there's a dude.
apparently this is a pretty chill community
and there's a guy
there who appears to be
going through some level of mental illness
and he has
alarms on his home
train horns
that go off three times a day
he says he has a long
running beef with the division
this division of LAPD
Van Nice and that the loud sirens
are his way of getting the department's attention
I need help
I don't know how else to cry out for it
That's why I'm setting off the sirens
I'm crying out for help
He did not elaborate on what he needs help with
But the stories I saw
It's just all of his neighbors out in the yard
And it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon
And there's a train horn that goes off
For several minutes at a time
And you're like
Well it's not really illegal
He's upset that there are people outside
What are we saying?
No, the people outside are upset
That there's a crazy person mad at the police department
And his neighbors are like, you know, this sucks.
And they're like, whoa, we can't make him stop.
Oh, the train horn is not illegal because it's not like after hours or something.
It says he does it and then he stops and by the time they get out here, it's 40 minutes later.
They can't make him stop if they're not there.
So he just waits till they're not there and Blair's a train horn.
And the news is out there in front of his house.
He's not there.
And all of his neighbors are just like, it's unbearable.
But there's nothing really to be done here.
uh it was just it said the police said we're talking to the city attorney about options but
you we fear to appear to found a loophole here in the annoying division but it can't bid our story
of the day though can it no we've already awarded that yeah yeah to the mini bike oh my god
just listen to the end of this again then bikes riding through traffic too out here man
For now, Ingardina Gigi Grosiette.
Well, I might as well quit now because that's the story of the day.
That is the video of the day.
Hard to drop that one.
All right.
That's good to save.
Just straight off Botox mouth.
Absolute Botox mouth.
Let's see here.
Couldn't they do that?
Absolutely.
So it's like, oh, did Kyir make that play?
Yeah, he probably did.
Are there distractions about going home?
Yeah, probably.
Again, are we going to come out first play of the season against Philadelphia and run
power read with the quarterback?
No, probably not.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, he's got to move.
He's got to extend plays.
Can we run them?
Sure.
You know, we'll run them.
Will we have an assistant head coach next year, maybe?
Oh, wow.
Wow, that one's tough.
This story was in the news regarding...
Maybe.
I mean, I won't be here, so who...
Guys are jerks.
The city of Arlington and AT&T Stadium are in the news because they have...
plans, maybe it's happening today or tomorrow, they don't make their final payment on their
debt for AT&T Stadium, which is a decade early.
Wow.
If you try to put yourself back in the place, you can actually get ahead on the payment, like paying
off your house?
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Which is smart.
It was intended to be paid off over 30 years.
The final payment would have been made in 35, and it'll be made now.
And the reason that I bring this up is just because I wonder how far away we are.
From what?
A new stadium.
Oh, come on.
It's not the new hot thing on the block anymore.
No, but it's still...
Does it remain amazing that they've had one Super Bowl...
Still like a top fiver, right?
Why isn't it in the Super Bowl rotation then?
Because it snowed one time?
That seems ridiculous.
It seems crazy.
It's definitely what you do.
That's the last snow of that size, wasn't it?
Well, it was Snowmageddon.
Oh, yeah.
But, you know, in general.
Right, it's very rare.
Yeah.
But it's Jerry's friends who have the nicer stadiums.
Cronky's got so-fi.
Arthur Blank has Mercedes-Benz.
You're saying that makes him more jealous?
Yeah.
I would think.
Yeah, and it also means he's probably...
New York State?
Oh, yeah.
I said that very confidently.
I know they got to.
the World Cup so maybe that's helped them get it you know my thing has always been with that
stadium that it's the opposite of the ballpark the old ballpark the medium ballpark is just
that it was it was made to look old the ballpark and the stadium was made to look futuristic
and any this is why the 80s looks so shitty now anything that's like made to be like let's anticipate
the future it looks awful to me in design afterward do you do you think Jerry World is that
It looks, yeah, I mean, it looks like a spaceship.
And it's all glass and sharp and mirror.
I just think anticipating modernity.
And the art.
The art, I mean, but that's going to be there.
She's got to have something to do.
But I don't know, man.
I don't think we're as far away as you think.
From a new cowboy statement.
And when I see that they've paid it off,
like you think he's going to be shy about going back to Arlington,
this only clears the path for that more.
If they're already, I remember voting.
on that because I was going to school in Arlington
at the time
being like I get to vote
you're going to let us vote on the cowboy
who's voting against this
did you vote against it? No
because you're like whatever
dude I want the Cowboys to have a new stadium
I have very clear blind
spots in my social opinions
and they are sports
if I need it for we need it for sports
then yeah but you were bagging on the Ranger
Stadium
but the Ranger Stadium was not
needed as much as a cowboy
stadium was needed
it was needed
that was an s hole
and air conditioning's pretty nice
for the rangers
yeah it's just so sterile
I know
it's not my balls aren't flying out of there
you know the other sort of
oh you know what I got a fun one to play for guys
that video I put in there
I forgot about this so
when you think of
subway sandwiches from a
PR standpoint
Just being in the news
List out your key bullet points
And is this Jared related?
No, but I'm asking you subway
So Jared comes up, yeah
They're in the news, that's not a good one
No
But otherwise, what's wrong with this nice subway sandwich?
You're keeping their PR campaign alive, I believe.
And they're back...
Blake ate there on the way home the other day?
They're back in the news
I knew you'd want to curb him.
I'm glad I didn't know about that.
Like we're in California.
We could stop for fresh fish somewhere, a habit.
Hey, let me take.
I needed something quick.
Can I say something?
Let me say something.
Ventura, there are some nice restaurants.
But overall, this is not a great food scene.
Like, back at home, I feel like there's, there's, have you ever had a burger out here?
Do you ever hear, like, oh, Ventura?
Why would you?
Great burger.
Because there's California, you think there's going to be great food everywhere.
There's not.
Dude, there's fish.
Well, I'm saying for us, why would we come out here and have a burger?
Which is incredible.
The fresh fish everywhere.
Yeah, I mean, the sushi was just kind of a sushi place.
You bite your tongue.
What about the...
Spencer McKenzie's is an elite place, especially at the price point, that you cannot top.
What about that shitty oyster food truck you made us going to do?
Dan left a one star.
It's a too cold.
too expensive.
Look, now he's getting all mad because I meant made fun of it.
The oysters were fine.
Listen.
I was horny enough for you later.
There's nothing.
That's why you made me eat them.
I'm...
Don't they say that about oysters?
It's an aphrodisiac.
Is that what the deal was?
I did not to relieve myself that evening.
Yeah.
No, so Subway, down bad with the Jared thing, but if we're looking for a positive twist,
what's hot right now is fighting fascism.
And if you look in...
Washington, D.C., you know, the police are, like, taking over, the federal police are taking over the streets because it's out of control.
And so one guy thought he would show his dissent this way.
This is just a random guy on the street.
Throws a subway sandwich right, it is an ice chest, just spikes him right in the chest.
Is the guy also shirtless?
He's just got his shirt kind of like unbuttoned.
You may have to back it up at the beginning, but sandwich one of the, maybe the funniest thing you can hit someone with.
I wouldn't even think if I was an ice guy
I'd run after him for that.
Are you out of your mind?
That's the most disrespectful thing anybody's ever done to.
No, but it was wrapped up.
It isn't like the meat.
It's in a bag, too.
Yeah, the muster didn't get on you.
It's nothing.
It's so disrespectful.
But you might as well thrown up.
He flats them with a foot long.
Yeah, but what if you threw a pillow at me?
That's the same thing.
That's also really disrespectful.
But I think this is word.
I would rather be punched in the chest.
These guys are all so teed up and they're all ready to...
Yeah, but a punch hurts worse.
Like throwing a rock or a bottle or...
You threw a subway sandwich.
I would just be like, okay, dude.
But if a guy, like, slaps you or back slaps you, like, that's more offensive.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, if somebody had, like, a glove and was like...
You'd be like, what is that?
That would make me more angry.
I don't like that.
And then I'd laugh at him because you just spent $8 on that foot long.
He'd be like, that's why I got it from Subway.
Because all it's good for is fighting Nazis or whatever people are saying.
Not $8 anymore.
Yeah.
Is it over 10?
Subflation.
Because they're spending all their money on marketing with Apollo Anton Ono and these other big stars.
Charles Barkley and Steph Curry.
So the guy who did that worked at the Department of Justice.
He's been fired.
And then Cash Patel, the crazy cross.
eye-looking guys posted videos about it.
Like, dude, you're a pussy.
You're the FBI.
You could crush the entire...
Come on, dude.
Now, on that front, I would tackle the guy, for sure.
But as an agency, I'd like to think where...
It's kind of like Shadur Sanders going after a reporter.
Like, I don't know, you're the American FBI.
Let's portray a strength of position of strength here
where a cold cut to the bulletproof vest
doesn't elicit a reaction from the highest levels.
like crazy
I hope someone does this to us at an event
I wonder if he just
did he just order the most basic
sandwich or did he like take his time
you know light lettuce
get a little
because yeah you're doing a lot of evaluation here
you think he was pre he ordered the sandwich
knowing I'm going to throw this at someone
and I don't know why he talks like that
but you know he does so did he just go well just make it
yeah you don't want to waste a lot of meat on that
I voted for the email lady
he doesn't need meat
He hates that meat
Tuna on wheat
Right there
On a
Mini bike
That's it
Let's do that
The dumb zone
You don't play your sounder
Like and subscribe
Place high on a tree
backyard
And if it wasn't the horn
It was his house alarm
I don't know.
Why are we going out of...
What are we doing here?
That's why I don't leave him up.
He wanted the sounder.
But then audio just randomly plays from his computer.
And, yeah, well, okay.
There are things I ask to be...
Like, hey, can you help me with this?
And then I feel as if I am not helped
for the purposes of having it go poorly for me,
for others' entertainment.

And then I went out to Trent, and Trent was like Trent Sig.
He was like, yeah, I think I could do it.
And then he turned to the PR guy who did say yes.
And then in the moment, kind of looked like a PR guy and gave a bad...

His pants are pulled down slightly.
Matt Grim not only drove all the equipment out here,
but he is now administering a T-shot to Blake or to Jake.
Is it in there?
I've heard her say that before.
Is it in there?
Thanks, bud.
Right?
How many times?
Any fist bump?
I'm about to dominate this viewer today in history.
How quick does it hit?
It never stops.
Today in history.
No, I really thought I was going to be able to get a,
NFL player to do that for me.
But we, we got to, he was, he was, yeah.
Roids came out.
Yeah, did you say steroids or did you just say testosterone?
That's different.
I think he asked is, is this steroids?
And Jake didn't give a confident no.
He's like, well, I don't know.
Well, it's not for you.
So if you were male birthdays, I think I might only have one today, but let's check.
Today's not August 19th, right?
No.
All right, here's the one I have.
Chris says, Dear Daniel.
Saturday will be the 37th birthday of my good friend Patrick Payne.
Patrick wanted me to do the whole number bit, but that's gay.
He was mumbling something about Kenny Rogers.
Apparently Seamheads know that name.
Patrick got me listening to the Dumb Zone in the first place.
He helped my wife get a Dumb Zone remote we held back in 2024.
I'm waiting for his wife to treat us to a sit-in at the den.
His leaders are Daniel fighting with his wife.
The Blake DMX softball highlight reel.
Heck yeah.
Shout out to TC.
Jake's iconic cackle.
An intern Henry casually streaming a Friday round of the PGA Travelers Championship
at the Constellation Club remote while Blake fights for his life,
just trying to get a secondary speaker.
working.
Man, you've got to keep up with PGA golf every moment because it's always changing.
That's what they say about it.
People getting up and down.
Right.
Fast risers.
Yeah, I was trying to run cable and power to the speaker,
and Henry's just sitting there watching an eight-foot putt roll past.
Because he had the under on Senwu Kim or something.
Are we going to get his birthday of the day today?
I don't know.
Geez.
The boys are.
Let's get him.
I want him.
I want Henry.
Don't me another Moxie.
It's not going to be hard.
Today's Tommy Fleetwood's birthday.
Let's get Henry.
He's two for two this week, but don't you want to keep that average at 100?
No, I want Henry.
All right.
Thanks, Matt.
Juice man.
If the stream goes down, it's because of Henry.
Yes.
Yeah.
I thought we...
What's up, L4G?
I thought I got to buy this real expensive thing.
so to make sure the stream doesn't go down anymore.
Well, the stream is up because of that expensive thing.
Oh.
All right.
Well, if you think it's going to make us go down, let's not get injured.
No, it's fine.
It'll totally be worth it.
All right, today is Thursday, August 14th.
Let's get serious.
Yeah, let's not messing around.
On this day.
It can get serious, okay?
Okay.
In some year.
The last public execution in the United States.
I unfortunately am at least hip to the direction we're headed here.
And I think it was Utah in like 19...
Wait, what did you say?
What was this specific parameter?
Public execution in the United States.
It was a public, like...
Come on down.
Watch this person get killed.
Anybody else?
Anybody want to guess first?
You're going to have
1950
We're going to have
Prophets and Outlaws out there playing first
Yeah, you know
I'm going to say
1955
We got 1936
Good
Good for us
Rainy Baffay
was hanged in public in Kentucky
And
How many people would show up for
that you think
not disgusting
morally depraved my hope
is no one but there's certainly
just a couple sickos
that's what they used to do
think of a
playoff Mavs game
dang
20,000 people
wow
in Utah
no it's Kentucky
oh
that's remarkable
somebody was pissed
they were doing the wave
They did the wave
Half-time show sucked
On this day in 1945
If a small piece of the head stays on
You get like a free item
Chick-fil-A
Frosty
It is funny that we're like
You know what? Public executions
We shouldn't do that
Let's just kill them behind the wall
There's a reason for that
What?
The reason I believe that is directly related
to the public's appetite
Like, so I think if they, at some point, they stopped doing that because they wanted to be able to keep killing people.
And as society moved, I think we would have been like, I don't, if you have to see it, you probably are like, I'm a little more against it now.
That's what I'm saying.
Okay, well, I'm just saying like that shouldn't, yeah.
Well, I think people would vote to, like, make it illegal if they could see it.
It's bad if we can all, like, let all the sickos get boners over it.
And bet on it.
Yeah.
Another thing.
Ooh, do you think they were betting?
What am I getting a boner on?
Dude.
Public execution.
On this day in 1980.
Oh, wait, no, 1945, I'm still on.
President Harry S. Truman announced Imperial Japan had surrendered,
unconditionally ending World War II.
Thousands poured into the streets throughout the United States who celebrate VJ Day.
That's Day.
That's right.
V.J. Day.
On this day in 1980,
Wayne Gretzky
He's looking kind of sexy.
Name the NHL MVP at the age of 19.
No, no, no, no, 19.
The youngest ever to win it and won it for the next five years in a row.
Have you ever just sat there on the hockey reference page
and looked at Wayne Gretzky's career?
I have.
It's insane.
Like, I think the next year he had like 92 goals.
Watch the tape.
Goals!
not points
also if you would look at
the average age of the combat
soldier in World War II was 26 years old
do you think the NHL would have
more popularity if because
if you look at the top goal scores
in NHL history
there's only two
in the top 20 that are after the year
2000
and I feel like every other league
offense increases we've talked about
a little bit, but, yeah.
Because there was one time, I think
Sports Illustrated had like a cover of
the NHL is about to
pass the NBA,
and like, it was the next big thing for sure.
And then it just kind of
didn't.
They would have to lockouts all the time, and yeah, I don't know.
I mean,
Wayne Gretzky's overrated. We've established that.
What?
What?
Who's established that?
Me.
Why?
He had like 200 points
You weren't allowed to touch him
They played a lady's game
Like era adjusted he's overrated
Yeah he would not
I mean they had to keep a guy on the team
To protect him at all times
This is a true fact
We've established that
You know what
Opinions of this guy
Do not represent the opinions
You guys just don't respect
Two-way players like I do
The opinions of Jacob do not reflect
No, but when I was growing up, yes, I thought Wayne Gretzky was a giant pee.
It's like, no, dude, come on.
Look at it.
Big boys.
Eric Lindros out here, patrol in the middle.
Mark Messier.
Pete Rose got his last hit on this day in 1986.
4,256.
Oh, on this day in 1989, big day.
Sega Genesis released.
But what was Pete Rose's ops?
I bet it was pretty insane, Blake.
That's a bad example.
His war is like top 20 of all time, I bet.
These are better.
Let's see.
The Sega Genesis would become a formidable competitor to the Nintendo
entertainment system and helped define a generation of gaming.
When I got that first Sega with Sonic the Hedgehog in it,
I was just...
I was...
Those days would be stay up all night.
Absolutely.
Yeah, you could.
You ever have a Sega?
Yeah.
Not the, like your grandpa's Sega?
No, he had other iterations of it.
Um, yeah, I'd play the old Maddens on it or TechMobile.
Yeah, like Madden 98 or something.
Okay.
Because, like, do you know Dreamcast, Dan?
Did you ever get in on Dreamcast?
That was a Sega product that, like when PlayStation came out?
No.
It's pretty sick.
Well, you wanted to be, and I remember when I felt like our family has made it,
is when you were a two-consul household.
Like when you're like, are they the this house or the that house?
Yeah.
You got them both.
No, but the Sonic thing is one where I would say when I'm watching my kids play their games,
I would shake my head with kids these days.
Because if you got beaten Sonic, you had to go back to the very beginning.
Oh, my gosh, I know.
You didn't just get to junk pick it up at the level you were already at.
I felt like sometimes my parents
got joy from watching me
lose a saved game
and on this date
wait what is today
August 14th
in Dumb Zone history
Not much
All right back to you Dan
You were on vacation
This is a dead period
I think I had a furlough
And we were on the tennis courts
last year
where you guys today are you above your garage and stuff
that was overwhelming
where you guys been all week
we are at cowboys training camp
are we oh
we are I knew that
and is brought to you by
flooring direct DFW.com
hey do you need a floor
everybody needs a floor Blake
everybody
if you didn't have a floor you'd fall down to China
Let's not forget silverbacked construction.
How could we?
We've got you covered, you know, with...
Let's see how this goes.
Qualis roofing.
Okay.
And then we got you bottomed as well.
With flooring direct.
And if you need to get out, if you need to get out, just open your trident garage door.
That's right. We could do this all day.
It should be noted, too.
Or you could jump through your window nation.
Well, we've got a heart attack man here.
We should thank Jesse Hawley, thank John Machota,
thank Jeff Kavanaugh, all the cowboy players who appeared.
Those first three, by the way, people are like,
oh, that's an interview you couldn't do on the radio
because it was like long and it went a lot of places.
It's also true that we wouldn't be allowed to have those people on
because they don't work for the Dallas Morning News,
which is a feature I'm not sure if most listeners pick up on,
We could have Sarah on.
We could have Sarah on.
Although, is Sarah allowed to be on their station?
Because anybody who appears on our station is no longer allowed to appear on theirs.
But it was nice having John Machota because he's like a big deal, you know.
Like if, you know, a huge star story broke and you were filling in for the musers or something, right?
Like Sean Shapiro broke this big story.
Can you have him on?
You cannot.
Can we?
We can't.
All right, today's celebrity birthdays, we have former cowboy Roy Williams is 45.
Which one?
Not the wide receiver.
One who can't cover?
One of the most frustrating players of all time.
Do we have a Kemp spin on him?
No.
Okay.
Didn't he date someone famous?
Yes.
Kelly Rowland, maybe?
Kelly Rowland?
Yeah, something like that.
Former cowboy Julius Jones, 44.
First overall.
Was he the fastest?
No, that was Felix Jones.
Felix Jones was the fastest man in the Perot Museum, right?
Yeah.
Former cowboy Greg Ellis is 50.
We've mentioned him this week a couple times.
He was awesome, man.
What happened to him?
What did he coaching out here for a little bit?
Last year.
And he was definitely the reason why you were praying for a smooth transition from the 4-3.
could Greg Ellis play without a hand on the ground?
I was a huge cowboy fan, man.
John Klingberg is 33.
Klinger.
He, um, I think had an all-time contract backfire.
I may misunderstand that story a little,
but I think he overplayed his hand in the market
and sucks to miss that one.
Some would say that about us?
Well, then not.
I would like to have a conversation with them.
Magic Johnson is 66.
And what's he ever done?
Big Magic Johnson.
That's the thing.
All people remember is he's got AIDS.
But that interview in general, oh, what's he done?
Big Magic Johnson.
It's like, I don't know.
More than like almost anyone.
Mike Vrabel is 50.
Where's the juice from you guys?
Tim Tebow, 38
You can't always rely on me to bring the Jews
Absolute goat
Me, music
Fable
I wish people didn't think of him as a lame guy
Because he got kind of a, you know, a little
He's going to get preaching on you
But Tim Tebow was a effing badass
Yeah, then he won me
He got me out of that suit for a week, right?
That was awesome
Mike Mayock is 67
Bad G.M.
Yeah, bad GM, Antonio Brown called him a cracker to his face and got in trouble.
That was a good time.
Is Antonio Brown still humming along?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I haven't seen him lately.
Let's see what this does.
Who then sold it to, you know.
You have talked to him.
The girl, he said.
He knew the girl well.
If I said anything.
Is Donald Sterling?
He's a good person.
What am I going to say?
has he done everything he can do to help minorities i don't think so okay that was the part he's like
also he's racist you think i'm racist so that was when he's like look i got to do some damage control
on my own yeah there's still a shot i'm going to go on tv he's Anderson cooper like i could save
this thing and his plan was to be like he's got AIDS wonder what are you guys missing really
what a time that was huh ha ha ha
I missed that story.
All right, this guy is not worthy of the list except for that his name is Kenneth Lofton, Jr.
He's 23, and he's not the son of the Indians and Rangers.
Right.
Kenny Lofton, but his name is Kenneth Lofton, Jr.
Don't call yourself Jr.
Your dad is nobody.
But what if his dad called him Kenneth Lofton Jr. growing up?
So once you become an athlete, you have to ditch it?
That's actually not a bad point.
Well
Ed O'Bannon is 53
Blake
ruined it for everyone
Yeah but we have it back now
Hallie Barry is 59
And his son played at TCU
That's right
From Cleveland
He is from Cleveland
She's sweet
Ex-wife of David Justice
And David Justice recently was on a podcast
Saying
Hallie Barry's too thin
He uh
He broke up with her
She wouldn't be a good wife
wouldn't cook and clean and stuff
no way
like you do you marry to cook it clean
right
David Justice
and he's all fat
I feel like David Justice
is he potentially a rosan
oh wow interesting
how many black rosands do we have
Jason Whitlock
Jason Whitlock is a big
and should we call them
should we call them rosands
I think David
Justice. This is Roseanne. Steve Martin 80. Greatness. Oh, no. Wow. Jake is just taking aim
everywhere today. This guy is not afraid to put the greats in his crosshairs. He's going to tell it
like it is. I enjoy quite a bit of Steve Martin's humor. But the more I think about it, he kind of
feels like the precursor to Tina Faye.
And I don't like where things
headed with like, hey, I'm going to be
talked down to you. I go to, you know,
he seems like a real elitist asshole.
And I'm sure back in the day, you know,
your seat will not find purchase if you're telling me that
he gave us Tina Faye. I would be like,
what better thing could you have done?
See, there's two paths. I took the one less
traveled
liking funny things
you just
you just want all these guys think you're cool
which ones
I don't know
Gary Larson is 75
he's greatness
Farside cartoon no
I wasn't into it but I
actually funny I think it's definitely better than
the ones we were like Hagar the horrible
right definitely better than Steve Martin
Mila Kunis is
42.
She's, uh...
Jay's gonna say she's too skinny.
She is very thin, but she's also very
perfect.
Yeah.
She's probably gotten bigger.
I don't think she showers.
She definitely was one of those.
Yeah, some with that.
Uh, I showered like
three times on this trip.
I'll have you guys know.
That's every other day, bros.
That's disappointing.
That's gross.
You think it's gross that I've showered that much?
No.
I think it should be every day,
especially with...
Yeah.
You being Steps, Man.
Lynn Cheney, 84.
Dr. Lynn Cheney.
Yeah, it's a funny one.
Spencer Pratt, 42.
He is the reality TV star from the Hills.
Remember when Gribble got really into that?
Married Heidi Montag.
I think they're still together.
Wouldn't that be exciting if they were?
Actor Susan Olson is 64.
That is Cindy on the Brady Bunch.
And are we doing Henry?
Because I have a birthday of the day.
We got to say goodbye to Ham to make room for Henry.
Oh.
So this will totally pay off.
See you, Ham.
Bye, heart attack, man.
I'm sorry.
Oh, bye, bye, guys.
I don't know why we have to do this.
So now you have, because you can only call Henry?
Because we've got to make room.

good birthday, Henry. Thanks, man. That is a good birthday. I'm sorry that Blake and Clayton really
in particular, we're trying to keep you off today's show. Well, the bio note for his birthday was,
I don't know, he's pretty annoying and he does gay dances. There's a significant portion of the
population who knows who this young man is. That's the objective of the birthday. Are any of them
our listeners? No, that's intern Henry is drawing listeners. Right. It's this guy's birthday that you haven't
heard of and we'll never see we have
22 year olds who know

that's a C block.
On this day, or excuse me,
born on this day now dead. Doc
Holiday, a gunfighter
in the Old West.
Just like the guy up in Seattle.
And dead on this day is still dead.
Josephine Cochran
She invented the automatic dishwasher
She got out of the game
Just like a lady
Just trying to have less work to do
Are I am I right?
Yeah
I mean come on
What are you going to do now
You're just going to sit there for that hour
Lazy?
Just push a button
Right
You know there was dudes who thought that
Yeah there was a dude
100 years prior
that invented it,
and it was like,
ah.
Keep her busy.
That's why they didn't
release the microwave
until like the 70s,
right?
Is that when microwaves were invented?
I think it was about that, yeah.
So are we going to go see the new naked gun
tonight, three amigos?
No.
What are we going to do?
You're going to set up me playing
Dan and football video game?
people would enjoy that um the boys can get crazy
could you ever stream us playing like the old madden sure get it like an emulator
can you somehow stream that yeah yeah we figured out okay wouldn't that be fun for
dan and jake to play no like why like it feels like that cool why would it be fun for
dan and jake to play the new madden where all like des brian's doing that online
and all these other people, and they play well.
What if we were playing like the old one
with four plays and everything?
Because the draw is not the game,
the draw is you two playing.
And then we could get outside people drawn
because of the uniqueness of the...
We're trying to be unique here.
You just want to be like another...
Well, yeah.
You want to be like everyone.
You playing the game is unique.
Anyway, final...
Closing remarks.
From Matt Grimm.
He was on his...
Second Cowboys trip, the first one he's allowed inside the wall.
Yeah.
Actually allowed out on the field where the players are.
Was out there today for practice?
I would think you'd think that was cool.
It was very cool.
Yeah, got a handshake from Shottie.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, I got a fist bump from the operatives.
Pretty cool.
So you're leaving here and you're driving until you get home?
Yeah, we're going to, the game is to beat Dan to his house.
You will not stay in a hotel, you're saying.
That's correct.
We will not stay in a hotel.
A little rest stop.
Yeah, we may get it.
Clayton's face looks like when I asked him to fire up.
The thing I'm confused by is he's not driving.
Yeah, but he's got to sit in a car.
I think Clayton's fine with it, though.
Either that or he just doesn't complain.
I mean, I think you guys would not see that way.
But he still has this look right now like he's about to die, and then he put up his thumb as if, who did that, like, on a stretcher once.
You free.
Everyone.
Oh, no.
That's one, yeah.
But he just very weakly had just the energy to put up his thumb.
Like, yeah, I'm on board.
Yeah, I don't know.
I feel like I could ride in a car, but.
This is a wonderful setup, though.
Clayton has us.
It's immaculate.
Everything went great, all challenges, hurdles, obstacles cleared.
Are you like a lifelong cowboy fan?
So is this a cool bit?
Am I lifelong cowboy fan?
No.
Oh, you don't care about the cowboys.
No, I actually, I hate the cowboys.
Who are you with?
I'm the Buffalo Bills.
Oh, okay.
But I did realize out here that it made me not the exact Cowboys team that I hate.
I like some of the players.
I like a lot of the players.
It's some of the fans that I can't fan.
It's me.
Well, you know, you're all right.
Like, you're for real.
What I don't like is the fans that just kind of give up on football just because the Cowboys aren't good that year.
That drives me a little bit crazy, but the other thing out here that you have to,
I mean, I've never been to another training camp.
I'm sure this exists to some degree.
It probably started out here,
but there's a lot of people here who don't care about football at all
that wear cowboy gear to come out here and drink.
The VIP people, like, it's just a hot lady putting on a cowboy shirt for the day.
It's not like everyone out here is, like, big football fan.
It's a scene.
Dan had a nice conversation yesterday with a cowboy, quote-unquote, fan,
and she couldn't answer a single question about who's who.
Yeah, I mean, they don't.
And not that that's, I mean, she kind of portrayed herself as a big fan, which is fine,
but she didn't know who Tony Romo was.
This is a social experience for people.
All right, then, I guess we're done.
Let's go eat some burritos.
Just fensers.
Thanks to go to the Cowboys, too, for having us here, and Tad Carper and Whitney Faulkner
and who else, Brant, perhaps.
We could thank them.
Heck yeah.
Trent.
Brandon.
Banger, Lucy's are on the way.
I got the whole staff hooked.
Audio smofo.
We've got to go before this becomes a dude.
