They're also good. How long did it take you to feel normal after the trip? I'm waiting on it. Right. You added a little floater, a little chaser to your drink. What about you? How about you? Pretty quickly, I mean, you get back to Texas, though, and just get punched right in the face with the weather. It is unbelievable. What happened?

Was it like this when we left? Because it was so great. Put on a jacket in the morning, go out for a little walk every day on Texas time in California. So it's 5 a.m. It was awesome. Not to scoop the weekend check, but. I went to the Perot Museum with the kids yesterday, and there's an outside part that's awesome, like ropes, course, all this, but it's outside. Yeah.

And within 15 minutes, I looked like I had pissed myself. That's how sweaty I was, and my kid was like, I want to go inside. Blake stopped over yesterday to get his water because he loves the wildwood water or whatever. Arrowhead. Maybe I need to post the video I took of Blake at Vaughn. the grocery store out in California. Oh, yeah, I want that. Because he had so much water in his cart

that he couldn't turn it. Yeah. He was having to, like, put his hips into it and really push it. Well, after I checked out, Dan wanted to push it because I think he wanted to work out that day. Yeah. No, you did act like it was really tough. You're like, here, I'll take that.

I'm like, no, okay. I'm not 80 here. No, well, you're on game day. I'm not. Yeah. Had a little peptide. Oh, but Blake came over yesterday for some of the summer. reason he's wearing long pants.

I don't see you in shorts very often. I've taken to 2011, Dan, where I don't like wearing shorts to work. Interesting. Because that used to be your bit. Oh, yeah. I went for a decade or so. This is more business-like. I'm going to wear jeans. I haven't worn shorts to work in 2025. Wow. And we're only just now noticing.

Yeah. But you had long pants on, and Blake sweats on his knee. It was You had sweat everywhere There's nothing Listen dude He and I are legion on this You don't understand I'm like how does that just start

Sweating just there That's the part of my leg that's touching the pants Oh okay So it's sweating all over Anything that touches the body That's what I'm saying is yesterday I'm just wearing these same khaki shorts Except it looked like I had an accident

Because the sweat from my balls And my butt Were pouring through my khaki shorts I thought when I quit the sauce that it was going to stop. The sweating? Yeah, well, that's what I'd been told. It's like, that's a big factor with it.

And it hasn't. It's gotten worse. It's terrible. Well, let's just get right into a weekend check then. We have a Flooring Direct DFW. Can't present this weekend check. Remember Flooring Direct? They were the place that sent us to California.

Don't start yourself short, bud. A lot of prepping for the week, you know, getting squared away. Dude, did that, was that a part of your life when you were a kid?

What? So my mom had this deal of every Sunday. It was just like a work day. It was like, we got to get the house ready for the week. And in my head, I'm like, does the house have a fight this week? Like, we just live here. Why do we need to prepare that? And now, I get it.

Don't me turn off the music? Is it scratchy to you or is it like to the listener or is it just scratchy to our ears? No, no, I hear it. Hold on. Is it just to our ears? Anyway. Anyways. Yeah. Sorry, I was distracted by the scratch.

You're fun. But your mom did stuff. Anyway. Okay, so on the flight. I've gotten into your bit where I'll watch a movie on someone else's phone. It's so much fun. That I've never seen, and there's no sound. So it's Bradley Cooper, and I'm thinking it's the Chris Kyle movie.

Is Bradley Cooper the Chris Kyle movie? Yeah, American sniper. Okay, brief synops. So he's a country boy. Loves to shoot his gun. He's so good at it, he could shoot a snake. He's like 100 feet away. He'll hit a snake out in the field.

So you would think, here's a guy just wasting his talent on, well, then 9-11. Now he's watching the TV and his wife, who had come. come over to him or I'm guessing it's his wife. It was a lady who's wearing like lingerie and then looking real hot and stuff. That sounds like a mistress. So she's all hot and they're about to hook up. What is this wife you're talking about? They're about to hook up but then they're watching 9-11 and that ruined the whole mood apparently because now she's like crying. That feels like you time that out right and you could have an oh of a lifetime. Ruin her mood I guess. If she starts crying in your arms from 9-11 you're like oh this is not making it worse.

Um, okay, so now I miss a pretty big portion because, uh, the drink cart was in my way and I'm working on the Brandon Aubrey theme song contest, which we'll be listening to songs tomorrow. Okay. I thought you might have been working on that flight attendant. When we return, uh, I'm able to watch the movie again. Bradley Cooper's at a funeral. There's like a folded U.S. flag, so he must be a buddy. He must have gone and join the army because, uh, he's 9-11. Yeah.

Right? He joined something. yeah he was in already but it doesn't make the story as good oh okay because it looked like he was just the country boy out in the that's the movie field okay oh he was in so now we're up in iraq or something he's on the roof he's set up as a sniper he kills this guy he's holding this this guy is holding a missile launcher on his shoulder so he kills him and you're like oh that's good well then this little kid uh iraq kid i guess uh he looks like he's about eight or nine he picks up the missile launcher and now he starts aiming it at whatever the thing. And now Chris Kyle,

a good actor because now I'm in his brain. I'm watching his just thinking just from his looking at it. From the retcon, you can just... And he's very conflicted here, but clearly he knows I've got to kill this kid or else he's going to fire this missile. And then the kid drops the missile thing and then runs away. And now he kind of drops his head down like, oh my gosh, the weight is lifted up. But... What a scene. Because I know the end of the Chris Kyle's story or kind of at least I'm thinking all right well that starts mushing his brain

his brain is getting all mushed up with weird like stuff that he trauma yeah that was traumatic right there and then yeah then we have a lot more snipering and shooting and sandstorms and action and I guess that mushed his brain and stuff too but then we landed

yeah so I think I'm pretty sure he's going to kill some guy at a gun range though well other way around yeah somebody else killed oh somebody else killed him yes now oh okay so there were a lot of his brain wasn't too much up well we can get to that sure people would still call him an american hero if he just took down a civilian at a gun range for sport okay that's right what am i doing i'm a bit rusty could you uh take off to about dip in at about 75 yards uh no um so just as far as like what he did he had a lot of stuff

stories that were not true, right? So like a lot of them. He had stories about like going into Hurricane Katrina and like fighting off bad guys. He shot the hurricane. He shot the hurricane. Just like he shot 9-11 that day when the mistress was there. But the guy that he killed was a vet struggling with PTSD. Now, hindsight's 2020, my friend. But before I learned of that story, I was not aware that a common thing to do with a guy who's suicidal and depressed in the military is to go to a gun range with some other homies and let off a little steam. But apparently, that's fairly regular. And we only found out about it when the guy killed the American sniper.

But I would just say out of the box, I would find something else to do together. Pickleball. You know. You can blow out. Yeah, there's a lot of kickboxing class or something. Sure. MMA. They love it, folks. But I don't know that the gun, and the scene when they painted it was extremely creepy, obviously. You know, the guy was planning on doing this the whole time. Planning and killing Chris Kyle? Yeah.

Now, there are other funny parts. Piersing blue eyes. Other funny parts, I don't know. But there's a lot. Like, he had a story about how he, like, got in a fight and kicked Jesse Ventura's ass or something. And Jesse Ventura is like, no. Like, I'm a public figure. You can't just say that. uh he got sued for defamation there and then the funniest thing by far and i can't really confirm this but this is not a real show when everything was going on with grego and he was like down bad and i've obviously been there so your mind gets crossed up but there one of the days that he was off work the story was that he was going as a pole bear to chris kyle's funeral which i you know

you think that's all not true i don't but i think there were probably a lot of guys who were telling their families and their communities, I'm Chris Kyle's best friend. We hang out. I'm basically the American sniper. Prove me wrong. Well, you enjoyed it, right? I think this is a YouTube series.

Five-minute reviews of movies from someone else's phone. Yeah, I watched half of a Star is Born lady in front of me was watching that. Oh, we're all watching Bradley Cooper. When you said Bradley Cooper, I was like, did we watch the same? Because we were on different flights. Yeah, that would have been very exciting.

Yeah, it would have. The other note I have about our trip, a fantastic trip. We've got to have a new rule. I'm a bit of the bean counter on the show. And we've got to stop wasting so much food at the Airbnb. And I'm going to look at you, Jake. That makes me sad. Your eyes are too big for your stomach.

That's what my mom would say. What are we talking about? We left a lot of food in the fridge. The freezer, there was two frozen pizzas because the first night you're like, Hey, I got to have these frozen pieces. I didn't know about that Toppers place. So that's, that's on me. All right.

There's two boxes of Yassau bars. He bought those and he didn't eat them. You were saying they were the gay Yassau bars. I'm not, I'm not here for fruit. The fruit ones are fine. Okay. Well, then why didn't you eat them? Well, you're the one who said, buy a shit ton of Yassau bars.

We bought more. He just did. And still ate those. We just left the fruity ones. So I think right now we're at about $25. I'm just saying there's, there's a lot of food in there. There's a bunch of other just drinks and stuff. Last

year? Way more wasted. Well, there was no beer left. Last year. No, there was actually. Oh, okay. Well, I don't know. I was trying to make a... An alcoholic joke. Yeah, you know. But what you fail to realize is that the true

alcoholic is not like, let me go to the fridge for everyone else's beer. Like, you got your own. You wouldn't have known. Like, that's not how that goes. You guys, people have to think like us. I might have heard a little, I thought I bought a six pack of this. I don't know.

But anyway, the point is, let's just take it easy when we're just buying tons of food. I do this at home too. And this is all, oh, aren't you the guy who complains about like half left water? Or are you not that guy? Yeah, that's why I was walking around the media tent, emptying. emptying one-sip waters into my water bottle all week. Okay. It just feels like you don't like to waste food.

No, the pizzas I forgot about. The yassos I was ready for that defense, but the pizzas I forgot about that, again, I... It's a good defense on the yasso. Now that I know about... Who wants a fruit yassau? No, nobody, not even my kids. They're like, this is...

Better than nothing. It is a lot healthier. Yeah. They're both healthy. Because it's like orange. But, uh, no, I... I didn't know about toppers. That place rocks.

That's one of the best pizzas I've had of that style. That was the pizza you were ordering at like 11 p.m? I didn't order it once. Actually, I did order it once. Every morning there was pizza. Grimm ordered it twice. Jake ordered the Popeyes. I ordered Popeyes.

Okay. Any more hate? I'm not hating. I'm pointing out. I'm just trying to say, geez, this is like, how do you think he'd react to Shottie if he was saying, look, you need to work on your footwork.

You hate me. Not saying you hate you. Our friendship got us like a four-digit dinner. And you're over here talking to me about two frozen pizzas that got left in the oven. That's true. I don't want to hear it. Overall, we probably did come out ahead because the next two mornings I had salmon. I packed that salmon up for you.

He was about to throw it away. And I'm like, hell no. That's right. Matt Grimm did cook us a lot of food that we didn't eat. And that is the issue that I don't. That's a little bit on Matt Grim. He brought like 17 pounds of chicken. I know, and I tried to eat some of it every day, but I couldn't, yeah.

You can't own that one. I guess I'll go next because I think Blake's is going to be quite large. Well, we might need Clayton's ride home as well. Mine's pretty, yeah, go ahead, Clayton. I don't know what you got. I just meant before Blake. I'm not trying to cockponging. So I had my bag searched at the airport on Friday.

Did you have anything in there that you were concerned that they'd find? A couple dubs. Oh, no. Dube. Yeah, whatever else I had, I put in their car without telling them. Like, not a gummy? No. I had left to...

A pre-roll. Which, trust me. Why wouldn't you put that in the car? If I forgot them. I found them in the place afterward, I threw out a couple things. Like, somebody gave us, anyways. If I had found those pizzas, I would have put them in the bag and taken them as well. I didn't want to throw them out.

But we... we skyed past you, like the TSA pre-check? Well, here's why. There's another problem. Because we were, Dan, I were at our gate before you got to it. My TSA is expired because my passport, I thought we lost it when we moved, when we moved back into our house. And I panicked, and I'm like, well, then I need to cancel the passport and get a new one.

We found it the next day. So now I have to get a passport appointment, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But not only am I not in TSA pre-check, I got thrown off by the deal that says, if you don't have a real ID or a passport, go to this last line. And the last line doesn't say for driver's license, there's a line for TSA Pre and a line that says real ID or passport.

So me and these sad sacks over here, there's like nine of us. They're getting to us when that line is empty. Dang. And it's 10 people. So by the time I get to the front, you know, we're not, we were way early, so I wasn't sweating it.

You don't your real ID? But he's like, oh, you got a driver's life. license. I think we all have real ID if indeed your driver's license. It's this star. Yeah. I didn't know that because I'm an idiot. Ah.

And I didn't care because the guy was like, oh, just next time, whatever. And they kind of put me in the regular line. As opposed to the extra security line, which is what they were telling me. So you were in the extra security line? Which is when I threw away a vape I had. So I was like, okay, that one they're going to find. So that's why they searched every bag. No.

Oh. So when they tell me realize. your driver's license work. They let me go in the regular line. I was like, okay, that's fine. And now I'm thinking of myself, like, what if I got caught with weed at the airport? I don't know what happens, but I know I can't get fired. So I'm thinking, how do they just, does it make the news?

I am interested. Good for the show. How they're going to describe us? I would like to see it happen. And so my wife asked me, like, how freaked out were you? And I'm like, not at all. Yeah. And I got up to security.

They took my bag out in the regular line. But you're also in California. They could have just thrown away your weed. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, they weren't going to... I wouldn't try that coming from a... I wouldn't fly from Texas to California with weed. I can tell you that.

I don't know. But so they pulled my bag off to the side. I'm like, all right, well... Let's see what happened. It's about to get interesting. And they opened it up. And the first thing that they were after was my dumb supplements. So they took those out.

And they were like, we got to test these. Like your pre-worked? Yeah, pre-workout. Yeah, pre-workout. And I asked him, I've asked them before. I was like, if I put this in a bag, will it be easier? And they're like, probably not. Maybe if you could take it out of the bag beforehand, you might, but some people are still

going to want to test it. So that's what they do. They test it with their little strip. And she's digging through my bag, digging through my bag. My shoes are right there. There's a setiva in one foot and Indica and the other, and she never picked up my shoes. And so that was it. I threw away the vape for nothing because they didn't even look in my backpack.

You're a trafficker. I guess, yeah. You know what? I got one more Jake. Jesus Christ, dude. I thought we had a good thing. Okay. This isn't Jake, but guy next to me as we're landing, just like in the girl's, face-timing.

That's not a Jake thing. A video. Hey, we just landed. Yeah, why? Why FaceTime? Why not just an audio call? Okay. Why not just that?

Here's a Jake thing, though. Well, you know, they fake some of 9-11 calls from the airplanes. So every morning... The change is loose, folks. So every morning I drink a full pot of coffee and like a half gallon of water and all that. So I had done that, of course, Saturday morning. We were getting on the flight, or Friday morning. And so now, you know, go to the bathroom a lot, what I'm trying to say.

They announce we're going to be landing soon, so I'm like, you know what? I really got to get a little bathroom, so I run to the bathroom. and I'm in there and I'm like, you know what? I shouldn't be, because now it's like really bumping around and I'm trying to hold on and my head's against the thing and I'm trying to go. And I was like, boy, this is not going well. And then I hear like an announcement that says, hey, if you're in the bathroom, you're not supposed to be in the bathroom when we tell you it's time to land.

Like they, the whole plane knows like I'm in the bathroom now. And so I'm like, I couldn't even. even get going to the bathroom. So I just zip back up and I'm like, oh, man, this sucks. So I start to go out of the bathroom. And the bathroom across from me, you know how there's two bathrooms right there? Opens as well, and it's Jake. And so now this lady, the stewardess, starts yelling at Jake kind of like, just admonishing him like mother would.

The lady I thought, you know, we're not supposed to go down. The guy was pissed. He was being a real jerk about it. And so Jake, channeling young Jake when he used to visit Chappie with Joe. Other Jake. Jake points over at me. He goes, I only went in because he did. And so now this guy tells on me.

100% true. I thought, like, I just follow him, not thinking, boy, I'll get roasted for everything. I see him stand up and I'm like, man, I really do have to pee. And as he's up, I think the sign comes on. It might have been up already when he got up. He disregards the rules. But once he got up, I was like, okay, you know, he's an adult. And y'all have been on enough stars trips to wait.

None of that matters. It doesn't matter, but the plane was rocking. It was. It was a bumpy landing or whatever. To the point where we couldn't, we couldn't, it was Chinese dick trap. We couldn't exit the bathrooms because as we kept pushing, they kept bumping into each other. And we could just see each other through like the doors opening and closing. And the lady's like, what is going on?

And then we had to walk back during turbulence, and it was, dude, Dan's not kidding. We had hands on the thing. I'm a pit to bed. Guy's shoulder. Yeah, it was a lot. Yeah, they checked my bag, too. So I had to wait. Like, I saw you stroll out.

Oh, you had to get. Yeah. Group six life. I had to wait. Oh, man. Your mom would have been thrilled because they checked my bag for free. That's what my mom's trick is. Yeah.

Do you do that? No, I've got something on that. My mom wants to check a bag. And so, yeah, she... So we got home and I was just, I was exhausted, dude. I don't know. The time change, we were up all, like, it would, let me say this, if I were to be critical of Dan in return. If the whole show decided to go to bed...

No, you can't play both sides of this. It's his turn now. If the whole show decided to go to bed and do their own thing, it's 6.15 every night, I don't think we'd have much content from, like, the trip. There was a lot of action at night, Rangers, L.A. News, listeners coming over. Yeah, police car chases. Do you say Rangers? We were watching Rangers?

And we were watching the Rangers live in the 8th and 9th inning when Fire Nico guy was going off. We had a lot of fun. Okay. That was fun audio that we played, the Fire Nico guy. Oh, wait, no one cut off the audio. Boy, I don't know how far behind the curtain you want to go because I went downstairs that morning and said, do you have that? And you said, yes. Oh, like, have the audio.

I don't recall that. Now? Find the transcript. It was off the air. We have some of those too, though. So I was staying up later than normal, you know? If you're staying up until 10 o'clock out there, that's a midnight at home, and that's way late for me. So my thing was just off.

But by yesterday, I think it was pretty solid. Went through a little bullpen session on Saturday, get back into the game. Then watched, I don't know, the most boring football game I've ever seen, which we'll talk about, and Blake will make interesting in a second. Went to the parole yesterday, told you guys that. That's the best. Go check it out. And then this morning I was back in the car line where I belong.

School. And I'm just going to start taking pictures of vans and stuff that I see and showing you guys the bumper stickers. Because this right here, this is pure North Texas suburb. All right. You got a 90s font cowboy sticker. So at the top left, I'm not drunk. I'm passing snacks and whoop an ass.

You bet, mama. So they saw that in a store and said, that should be on my car. Hey, hey, you know what happened is? They said, do you have it on a shirt? And the guy said, only bumper sticker. At the bottom right is a Transformers logo. That's what I was thinking there, but I'm not in the game. Top right, just a good mom with a hood playlist.

Careful there, lady. Oh. He's getting pretty close. And then, of course, the Cowboy sticker. Yeah, they kind of ill-placed, lower third there on the top. I just love bumper sticker people, man. I love people that wear shirts and say, don't talk to me until I've had my coffee. You have to get a look at them, you know?

Like, who is that? It's the same. What did they rip off? Every time. There's residue from another one. I don't know. Yeah. Probably their Jimbo Fisher Aggie Championship bumper sticker or something.

what's up with you Clayton Before we get to that One more thing on what I did So when we were away Community Mechanical came over to the den They installed a new The thing that keeps the thermostat We could have let him go

They're doing They installed a new thermostat So because my wife will nickel and dime me And go up there and be like I'm going to turn this up to 90 And then the dog's like living up there So I'm like I got to turn it down But if I'm away

So now I can do it from my phone and uh terrorizer that's one of the many things that community mechanical can do for you they can just quickly install a new thermostat if you need one the main thing you should do with community mechanical there are hvac company is get hooked up with preventative maintenance that mean you just uh get hooked up with that they will come by in both the spring and the fall to kind of make sure you're set for the summer make sure you're squared away for the winter all that kind of stuff, they're the best. And if you are a preventative maintenance customer, it's 10% off of any replacements that you need. And that saved me a ton of money because when I got a new

system, it was four figures off because I got the 10% off. Communitydfw.com. The phone number, you can call text Travis anytime. 4-696677290. It is communitydbw.com. I've been trying to write a song to that. You guys help me. There's a hot-to-go song in there. Now, we check in with Clayton who drove home with Matt Grimm. I rode home. Thank you for clearing that up on your own.

Otherwise, I would have. Oh, you didn't drive at all? No. No, he's a passenger princess. And you guys didn't stop? Okay. We made it to. the other side of Flagstaff

and Grimm was like, I gotta catch power nap. So we stopped there for about 15 minutes. So for how deep into the trip of 24 hours is the other side of Flagstaff? I have no idea. It was 11 o'clock at night, Arizona

time. So we left at... Maybe eight hours? Yeah. Yeah, just about eight hours, maybe a little bit more. stopped 15 minute power nap I timed it because I was awake And the thing that hurt You'd want to get raped

The thing that hurt man is we had the Cafe Hibana night the night before So he couldn't store up sleep So yeah he was worried about the drive back Well Were you ever thinking What if I just tell him I'll drive for a little while He's a Marine

Can I speak for him on this Because I'm an average driver and it may be below average you have to let people know I will do this and I it's going to be worse I'm willing to do it but we're not as safe as we are but you're moving but is the 15 to 30 minutes worth like an a driver or a C plus driver driving across the country driving that vehicle I don't know I just have to let people know like you for example at no point that I want to drive when we were in California is like Dan's just better at this

it's not because I don't want to drive you want to keep time yeah and Matt was on a mission and just don't get in that guy's way yeah you don't get between a Marine and his mission and he had he was checking his phone like all right

we've made up two hours here we're drop our time's dropped so we've got to pick up speed here we're going to stop here tells me where we're going to stop and I'm like okay sounds good man, you do whatever. I'm just sitting over here.

If you need me for anything, just holler. And we got to that first little power nap, got back in cruising. Didn't stop again until, I want to say, outside of Albuquerque. And we caught about a 30-minute power nap there. That looks like probably another five or six hours. And that's the middle of the night. Yeah, another middle of the night power nap. and that was it.

It was, you know, stops every hour or two for, you know, drinks and restroom. Alertness, really. Yeah, just get out of the car, walk around a little bit, stretch the legs. But, like I said, Matt was determined to beat you home. And not even just beat you home, but beat you, like, he wanted to beat you to the plane when you got on the plane in California, but that wasn't going to happen.

No way. Yeah, his goal was to beat you home, beat you before you landed, and everything, and I just kind of sat back and said, hey, man, I'm just along for the ride. You do whatever. And we did. We beat you home. We beat your wife home from work. Yeah, you routed us.

Yeah. We got there, got unloaded, and left. What time? 345, I think, is when we got to, pulled in the day. Dan's house. It's what like 24 hours home? Maybe a little more. A little bit more with the stop.

Wow. Time change. But yeah, it was a nonstop drive and I can't think mad enough for, you know, keeping us safe on the road and even in camp and stuff, you know, just driving around and keeping everything. He's a very valuable asset and a good man. And he's signed up for Denver on the Denver. folks

It's probably the back-to-back MVP camp You'll humbly say that it's not you No it's not me I showed up late

Left early I had one thing Left Havana Night that I forgot to say on the show And Cafe Hibana is

It's a really nice spot We were in a patio with trees I feel like That's a nice That's a symbol

of a nice restaurant You have greenery and on the patio You're definitely right. I've never noticed that, but yeah, there's something to do that. I wore pants. You did. I just thought, this is a nice place.

And so as I'm sitting there holding in my gas, because I thought this is not the place. It's almost like an airplane. You don't want to do that to people around who are having a nice meal, an expensive restaurant. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. And then I see two dogs walk in. Big dogs. people have brought their dogs and I immediately looked at Blake

because I know that that's one thing we have in common I'll eat outside Blake doesn't want to eat outside but if you bring a dog to a restaurant or a bar or a brewery I'm out out out it's disgusting a dog licks its ass

and now it's just you're in California bro we'll bring it into a restaurant well I thought I feel like those whatever dogs are everywhere out there they're sitting over there but then they jumped up

and got in the booth. Oh, no. And so that licked ass is sitting where your ass is. Yes. So I just thought, okay, now the niceness is gone. And so I just let Rip.

Now it's ass time at Cafe Hibana. But it just, I don't know, I thought, man, what a classy restaurant. This is great. You think that that is dogs. You farted because you weren't worried about that anymore. Yeah.

Yeah, they had sullied the place with animal. Do you think that, like, on aggregate, that is the hottest group of people you've ever farted on? Because, like, everyone in there was very attractive. And then us, and then we were also farting, which is also quite uncouth. I haven't thought about that. We look at a place everywhere we go.

So, I don't know, nothing new. But in there, there's a lot of people with pronouns in there. I'm saying. So I packed two books for the trip. I was about 200 pages from finishing one of them, and then I brought another, like, 800-page book. And I thought, yeah, I could probably knock both of these out on the trip. No.

You didn't read one page? No. No. No, I had car chases to watch. We had Rangers games. I had my Madden franchise to start. I didn't read much. But I did finish, but I just thought it was very potential.

of me of like yeah i'll knock out a thousand pages on this trip and then didn't hit any uh but i did finish the one book on my way back and i am two books uh through the trilogy that uh the amarillo doctor gave me which is the power of the dog series and jake i know you've quit books which is really sad because the first the first leg of this the power of the dog is the best book i've ever read. And I am you know fiction female affair whatever just the gayest books

that you can think of and this is not in the same realm. I've heard of Don Winslow for sure, right? Yeah, he's a popular writer and this trilogy is highly recommended ratings are through the roof and it follows a DEA

agent in the war on drugs trying to track down this drug kingpin and then there's You know, there's some other characters that all intertwine at one point. But if you wanted to, we talk about this all the time. We wish we could go back and watch Breaking Bad for the first time. Well, I just read it. Hell yeah.

It's another, it's amazing. It's a big book. It takes you a while, and it's a lot. And there's a lot of characters to keep up with. But if you're looking for that just badass story, politics, action, and you have not read this, I highly, highly recommend it. it looks great unfortunately it looks like the movie flopped so for dummies like me um but like boys in the boat is one of my favorite books and the movie was terrible really says nothing about that but it looks like right up

my alley yeah i mean yeah so that was the first one i'd finished the second book on the plane and that is a little less actiony it's more of the politics it reminded me of the one season of the wire i watched where it's more about how can we catch these people how can i explain to the right person that this needs to be done and just kind of the the back scene of like an investigation and a bust and that was that was really cool so i'm going to start on the third one uh here after i read boys in the boat because that was uh that was given to me by my book club and i got to read that first i'm into it but good recommendation by the emerald o doctor i'm loving it um and then i got about 25 gallons back of Arrowhead water.

So I'd like to... How's that compared to last year? I think I did better because last year I was chasing the deal. Because if you bought four cases or more of Arrowhead, they were half price. And so I thought, well, hell yeah, let's do that. But that was hard to bring back. There wasn't a lot of space and just the case is massive. But Vaughn's had these two and a half gallon little carrying packs of water, which I just

bought them out. I bought them out. and then all of the, like, one-gallon jugs they had. And so we're about 25 gallons, which should get me through the rest of the year, I think. So other people are mulling gummies and... Joints. Just things you can't... Well, I guess you can't get this in Texas either.

You can get water. No. Not water this good. This water is that important to Blake. I mean, I felt bad using it at the room. Like, dumping it into my bottle. I want my friends to experience it. You know, it was really a treat the whole week.

Averrohead water. It was nice in the car, too, because it kind of had this soothing wave sound with the water sloshing back and forth. Water bed. It was nice. So I got that loaded up and in my five-gallon water dispenser. You mentioned the check bags. So I flew Southwest. I wanted to save the company some money.

Dude, everybody needs to just stop. It's so ridiculous. No, he was... The plane ticket was... Remember, he booked like... Four days out. I booked late. He said it would have been $1,000 for a plane ticket.

And seriously, it was $500 more per ticket to fly. Okay. I just don't, I feel like we're turning this into a... And Southwest, they find airline to fly. I love Southwest. Yeah. Lovefield is closer to my house. Except for the night before when I noticed you panicking because you forgot to...

I did forget to check in. Have they made the change yet? Yes. Okay. So I checked in late. I was in the C group. which is fine now I don't mind traveling by myself

because I know what it's like traveling with my kids kid kids there you go so now I don't care put me in the middle I have no one else to worry about it doesn't bother me at all but Southwest bags do not fly free anymore

and so everybody is stuffing all they can into their carry on again you know my bit you should have to pay to not check bags yeah I Get it.

They should make you check bags. Yeah. Because, yeah, it's this big, freaking, whatever. It's a game. Yeah, people trying to find space in the overhead. Creates a lot of attention. They don't want to. What if we played live Tetris in a tube and see if everybody can work together?

And they're not paying attention either. They're like, hey, put your bag up, wheels first, turn it on its side, and no one does that. No, and people, I don't know, people would have to move bags to fit other things. You know what? I'm just going to throw my purse up there. Where are you putting my, that's my, where are you putting it? Right. And then getting off the plane, now they have to backtrack to get their bag, then to get off. It's a mess.

So yeah, I like Dan World where you have to pay for your carry on. But as we got through the A group, then they started saying, we're going to have to check bags. So if you're in B or C group, take it over here, get a check so we can get off on time. And, yeah, I had to do it, although I had my Xbox in my bag. And I didn't want that thrown all around So I'm in the middle of the gate Taking all my clothes out Get my Xbox out

Putting stuff in my backpack in my bag So I can get my Xbox in my backpack with me Yeah Like the most important thing you brought is your Xbox It's the most fragile thing I brought He has like a special It looks like he's carrying like a nuclear football He has like a little special case for it

And I know that Because he That's the only thing he got out When he arrived the day of Sunday Yeah. Immediately was like gaming. I love it. Yeah.

Got to keep up with my dynasty. And so then, yeah, this weekend was the first game for me to produce the Compass Media's coverage of Dallas Cowboys football. And so I am not a part of the local broadcast. I produce the national broadcast. So anyone outside of the DFW area listening to a Cowboys game is hearing Ted Emrick and Jesse Hawley and myself producing. Is there a way to hear it online? I looked. I don't think so.

I think it is it's I just drove to Oklahoma thank you excited for you yeah yeah I was pretty pumped so they tell me uh you know you're doing all you can to just get the job not really caring about what you're saying almost and they said yeah you know you know you'll need to wear a blazer you know I'm like oh yeah not a big deal and then uh last week I realized yeah I should probably buy a blazer because I don't have one I don't have a suit I don't have any of that yeah why would you so I had to go to men's warehouse get fitted and the guys he's doing his best but I walk in looking like me in a lone star beer t-shirt I got shorts on he's like you know doing this little bit of like oh I think you're a 42 regular let's put you in this one and I put it on if it's great and then I look and it's 350 bucks

I'm like yeah I don't know if this is it for me pal and I said where's your clearance section you get the new job cowboy money bro I've given up no $350 for a jacket? Yeah, that's pretty normal.

You're an adult. A suit's probably going to cost you $700. Oh, I don't need a full suit. Well, yeah, but I mean, I would say that's probably normal. However, what did you do? Because I have a solution for you. Well, I got what I needed out of them, which was my measurement. 42 regular.

Then you went to Goodwill. No, then I went to clearance over there on that rack. Well, I went to 42 regular and found one for 80, one for 20, and one for 100. I find that you can really unlock a level, and people who really know are going to know, but most people don't. You could go get that suit tailored. Go get that jacket tailored for $25. Buy a cheap pair of pants, buy a cheap suit. It kind of fits you.

And then go get it tailored even for $100, and it'll fit like a glove, and nobody can tell that you got it from Coles. Little cheat code there for you. Yeah, I'll definitely do that. I did feel bad for him because he was trying to upsell me. He was just doing his job. And then I just like Well, he didn't do his job properly of sniffing you out as a guy who is cheap as hell Yeah, probably should have helped me.

Yeah, you should have known. So, I mean, I got a bunch of jackets and some pants and shirts all for the original price of the first jacket. So I think I did good. You really did establish the run there. Big time. All right. And so then got to the game, I was nervous as I'll get out because it's like... Where do you park?

I mean Just walk me through Okay So they send you the parking pass Everything is digital You park right next to the stadium That's where the media lot is Gate 3

Oh okay Yeah yeah yeah I get out of my It's less than 100 yards From the building I've never parked there But now I know where you're talking about Yeah it's amazing

Getting in awesome Getting out horrible Because you're deep Yeah Yeah So I gotta figure that out So then yeah You get in

You scan and it's just like to get the Dancopter I mean I know you're plain guy but there's got to be something you can do that's what Jerry does right like to leave right after the game is just helicopters out

so yeah scan your badge you walk in I think Ted has told us this on the show but to get anywhere in the stadium now at least to the to the field they have facial recognition so you're wearing your credential that gets you in the building but from there to get into the press box

to get to the field to get anywhere near the locker rooms. You walk to this iPad, and it scans your face, and it says, welcome, Blake Jones, access granted, turns green. That's so Jurassic Park. I love it. But to even get into the press box, I mean, there's no, like, just come up, I'll get you a credential. That's wild.

Ahead of time, they got to scan your face. And just so people know, like, you can kind of get into other press boxes if you really, like for a low-level team, like a college team or something, that does happen. No, yeah, I would get. This is a whole, yeah. Anybody that I had when Texas played TCU, I'll get you on the field. Yeah. Not a big deal at all.

Yeah. But now, do they make the players each do it when they go through the TGI Fridays before they enter the field? I don't think so. I don't think so. But yeah, got down on the field. Ted Emrick was play-by-played. Jesse Hawley did color.

They were fantastic, and we went down to the field before the game. And I'd never been on the field for anything. and I know this is preseason, but still, those dudes are massive and they're so fast and it's just unreal being down there, even during warm-ups. And so I luckily timed it pretty well. Brandon had just finished his warm-up

and I went over and said hello. Was he like, what are you doing here? Like, had it set in to him? Oh, hey! Yeah, you're back. Like, oh, where are you? And it's just very kind, very... But it was cool.

And then, yeah, I mean, the game itself, I don't know if you felt like this, but like a producer's job, I feel like, is more like what you make it. Like there's not a guy there telling me, do this, do that, you get to dictate this or whatever. It's, all right, go produce the game. And so obviously, I mean, there are things like getting reads in, getting commercial breaks, but as far as the flow, it's really up to me. And once I got in the second half, I started to settle down a little bit.

But working with Ted, super easy. What do you mean the flow is up to you? Just like when we do reads or when we do ID. or how we sent it to break. Okay, so you have this big list of stuff they have to do. Yeah. And it's just up to you to get it to them. Yeah.

But also, like, I imagine knowing, like, oh, here's Maris Leiafowl with a tackle, and they'll have a thing during the year, right? Yeah. You'll have, I mean, I know the Cowboys broadcast, does it. They have a guy feeding them that information? Like that was a four-yard gain or whatever? Yeah, the stats guy.

Yeah. So they have a different guy that you're in charge of as well? Uh, not really. I mean, the stats guy and the spotters, they kind of do their own thing. I don't have much to say over them. But, I mean, they're like the shoddy of the broadcast? Like you're kind of overseeing everything and...

Yeah. You'll walk around producing. But all these other guys, because that's what I've been thinking about shoddy, too. What, I mean, he does have some influence, but he's also got a defensive coordinator who's done it before. And, you know, that's why I kind of think the preseason for them is just a, all right, let's just see how this all kind of works. and they're just worried about the technical part of it, where to fit the spots in more even than how everybody's playing. Yeah, but I mean, there's...

At least that's the way it looks so far. There's a hundred... Yeah, and there's me and BA on the field before the game. That's cool. There's a hundred decisions to make. But, like, when you take a step back, it's just a game. So it's just like, you just have to be really organized and see, like, oh, they're about to call for a break.

Don't ask Jesse a question. Look, we're going to keep it going through here. extra time here's there's there's a little talk in their ear yeah and they can't okay so i i have like a little box where i can push talk to ted and i'm only talking to ted okay i'm only talking to jesse i'm only talking to stats so you can kind of rip rip ted to jesse oh i'm trying to throw ted off the entire game okay i'm telling him phase of a tornado that's not even true i'm not surprised if this is easy for you because i think a lot of times whatever you think that when you get to the big level it's a much harder version of the small level it's not a lot of times

In fact, a lot of times, to make the small level work, you have to be much more technically adept and much more on your toes because you have no support. Right. You know, Blake's been doing this basically out of his basement for colloquial terms for 15 years. Yeah, when you're doing Argyll, you're doing everything. Well, and that's, because you're right, you hit it. I have, I'm the stats guy. I'm a million things for Argyll, but when I got here and they said, just keep them on time,

give him the breaks and the reads and do the, but I'm like, that's, That's it? You don't want to do anything else. It's pretty sweet. For, yes. So it was... Well, the caveat is you got to wear a suit. Yeah. But I needed to see it, and I feel much better, and this is... It's going to be awesome, and I can't freaking wait until Philly. What do you know about this Jerry Reco fella?

He works on the fan in New York. He's a post-game host? No, he does play-by-play for road games. Oh, okay. Ted only does home games. Okay. This guy's like the board opera was many years ago. for Boomer and Geo.

I see that he hosts the Cowboy Post Game show, Jersey Guy. There's a lot of those, you know? Just not sure about the decision. Well, he's... He's a Northeaster guy, like, because he'll do the two New York games, Philly, Washington, maybe Chicago, and he just drives to the games pretty easily, but...

Also, the website says Jesse, or excuse me, Steve Berlime and Tom Emmerich. Really? The Compass Video website says, currently says, Tom Emmerg. Okay. We're not the only idiots in class. Well, I'm super happy for you, man.

I can't wait for you to become the fourth Amigo. I've kind of been imagining you like Rick Moranis with the Ghostbusters. Like, not really one of the specialists, but kind of around. Yeah, I need some Lucy handed out on the plane. I got it. I'm excited to hear about, yeah, the flights and where you sit and team hotel. How long it takes Bradsham to come over and tell you to quit our show. Do you think he's aware of us?

I don't think so. I was honestly amazed that Christy knew that I got. Yeah, how did Christy scales know? I don't know. You guys are fools. This is insane. We have this conversation at camp. They're in the booth next to you.

Well, yeah, but he's got your own bit. I'm sure they turn up a little bit at like, oh, the national. Oh, definitely. That's why they know. You know what I mean? They definitely look at each other. Are you higher ranking than the Mexican broadcast? I don't.

No. Don't they always put them in the end zone? That's what they do to the Browns guy. But then again, there's probably not as many... And imagine being the Mexican Browns guy. No, I mean, that's it. A part of engineering TCU is that had to do TCU English and Spanish. And they would put Spanish...

Like, at SMU, they're on the roof in August. And at Texas, they're way the hell over there. Like, Spanish gets the short end of the stick everywhere. And I think that's going to be us. Because he said some venues were outside. Yeah. I have to get one of those suit, like, big jacket things. A parka, a jacket?

You know what you could use if you were outside? You could use a roof, dude. Why don't you just build a roof over there? Build a broadcast port. Did you know insurance companies recommend having your roof inspected at least twice a year? I didn't. Twice? Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I was surprised that it was even once. But why not get a free inspection with Qualis roofing? in fact they can find compromises in your roof that aren't typically visible to the naked eye I believe was it Grady Spencer they gave it got a new roof for so that that's just happened they will they'll they'll work with your insurance company you don't have to deal with it they got me a new roof and they did all the talking they did all the phone calls I didn't have to deal with any of it the only thing I had to deal with was paying the deductible and everything else was done by Qualus Roofing.

And when you start with that inspection, get yourself a free Dumb Zone T-shirt. If you get a new roof, you can come out, do a $690. Qualis, simply put, is one of the best companies that I've ever had the pleasure of being around. You don't hear anybody have a bad word on the customer side of things. The people who work there are all legitimately very good people. They do things the right way at Qualis. So check them out for your roof, carport, whatever you got going on. at qualus gc.com.

That's qualus gc.com. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. What a boring football game, Dan? I don't really draw a ton from it. You know, it's not like I want to come in here and be like, Cowboys are take the under.

But there are definitely some things. you can take from it? Well, a lot of, like I said, just a little bit ago. Some of my thought is that Shottie's new at this, and it's not like he's a long-time offensive coordinator who has been calling plays for many, many years either. So he's new at a lot of this. He's been around it, but he hasn't actually had to do it. So I think a lot of this preseason stuff, with this staff especially, they have an offensive coordinator who's been like an offensive line coach. And so what's his real role? Like wouldn't you feel a million times better?

And this would never happen because it would undercut the reason for hiring Shottie in the first place. But if you had the analogous coach to Iber Fluse on offense or Mike Zimmer last year on offense, somebody else who was like, fine, they're 60. But they work with Shottie. Maybe it's Eric Beenemy. Maybe it's just some guy who has done it before. Has done it. I don't know that the enemy called all the plays either, but...

Called some of them, though, I think. So I have a big problem. First of all, it's a problem that shot he's the coach. Okay. If he's going to be the coach, though, yes. Do you want to give him play calling duties as well? So I kind of think this preseason, as much as you want it to be about a lot of the players,

it's really a lot about the mechanics of the coaching staff and just how everything is working. They got a new special teams guy. they got new position coaches left and right. They're all kind of figuring out their roles. So if you expect to see a dynamic exciting game, you know, I just think their heads are spinning on just it happening, let alone being able to implement an exciting

or like switch game plans in the middle of the game, you know, they're just happy to get through the game. That's what I think. Yeah, that's a good way to play. And no injuries. But at some point it would also be okay, to, like, execute really basic stuff well. You know, if we're going to keep it vanilla or manila, as Terrence Parsons said,

then could we not be, you know, a little crisper with it, a little tighter with it. Well, how do you do that with your second string and third string? Like, you're not playing anybody, really. Man, you should still be able to go out and run football plays efficiently. Your two's against their twos, your threes. I mean, other teams gain yards in the preseason. season with their backups it's not impossible but obviously milton is nowhere close and does it even matter right like what does it matter you're completely screwed if that goes down right well

that's what you're establishing here and that's that's the case for 19 or 20 other teams and if cowboys had done this right then they would have been in a position where they had actual money like is there another team that needs to spend money on backup quarterback more than dallas I mean, how many could there be in the league? Two or three other teams? The Rams and Stafford. Okay, let me cut it down. Just against like the Steelers.

Teams with starters. Yeah, I'm just, I'm saying teams that have aging quarterbacks who have shown to be a bit injury prone, you're going to need somebody. And that's why it is very perplexing why you would let Cooper Rush walk. For all that we make fun of Cooper Rush, he's performed very well when he had to fill in. Yeah, and people would have been pissed. about that. About keeping Cooper Rush? Yes, because it's not exciting. It's not sexy. He's boring. But to go

back to what I'm saying. Joe Milton was exciting and sexing like sexy for one game. He had one good game and New England immediately said, we have to turn this into something because we know who he really is. Right. All you need to know. And I've got just the team that'll send us a fourth round pick. Look, they just did it. But I'm saying

Aaron Rogers, Stafford, but how many other quarterback positions are you as worried about the health as you are Dallas? I don't think there are many. They should be paying a backup quarterback $7 million a year. Get the best one. Get Gardner Minshu. They should have the 22nd best quarterback in the league as their backup. Because it doesn't matter that you're paying the guy $60 million if he's hurt. In a perfect world, you'd pay the guy way less than that and your quarterback spot would have more money

available for QB2 and on down the line. It's not where we are. So you can either say, well, we paid this guy, hope he stays healthy, or you can acknowledge the reality, which is that that $60 million is going to be a worthless investment if this is what happens if he misses one game. I feel like something similar has happened with the head coach thing. Last week we were talking to, I think maybe Machota about how the hiring process worked. I think Shoddy might actually be a good CEO head coach. But I think because the Cowboys brought him in to interview for the offensive coordinator and then he blew them away on his head coaching type talks they then were just like why not do both

there's no reason why they couldn't have pitched shoddy on getting an offensive coordinator to call plays at that point why didn't they right someone who shares your vision well you think he was going to say right no well and i won't be the head coach of the dallas cowboys unless you give me full play control well this is a bit of the gm as well the opposite of the way mike mccarthy was hired because they had Kellan Moore already in place, calling

plays, and they said we want to keep this in place. For a guy who'd won a Super Bowl. Right. And then after that gave them the leeway to, after things weren't going as well as they wanted to, like, hey, actually why do we hire you?

You should call plays. And that's when they let Kellan Moore walk. Right. And he went to, do you go to the Rams? First he went to the Chargers. Chargers and then Philly, yeah. And at that time, you could defend that because Mike McCarthy had quite a track record of success in calling plays.

Oh, sure. No, but... I didn't love it, but you could defend it. But it was the main point is it was a head coach not doing what the head coach wanted to do when he got hired. He was acquiescing to Jerry. Jerry had another idea, and Jerry's idea then was, Kellyn Moore's doing great.

I'm hiring you just to be the CEO. Okay, well, all right, we'll do that. Exactly. And that's Mike McCarthy. Now they're hiring this guy and saying, wait, but we want you to call plays. Yes. I just think sometimes literally just the things get lost in translation. And it takes somebody stopping and saying, I know we were talking about that.

Now that we're on to this, can we revisit that other part? Here's what's going to happen. They're going to hire an OC next year. Well, let's just talk even about this year. Okay. And I know Blake likes saying that Shottie will be fired by Thanksgiving. I don't see that. I don't see an in-season firing, but certainly if things are going awry, and I believe they will.

I believe that they're not going to plow through this early season, easy schedule the way that some think they could. And then there's going to be some panic, and the first step will be, you know what, Shottie, and Shottie will kind of fall on the sword and say, you know, I'm evaluating this, I think that we need to have another play caller. Like, it won't be like it was told to him that Jerry is telling him he's got to do this, but he's going to take it upon him to tell Jerry, look, I got to announce this as if it's my idea. After the bi-week? Yeah, and then so, yes, Clayton Adams will be calling plays moving forward because this will give me a better opportunity to evaluate the, I'll be able to focus more on those late game situations.

I won't burn that time out like I did in week three or there will be some mistakes. I mean, he's a rookie head coach. Clayton Adams is a rookie, I mean, I feel worse about that. That's a thing. That's where I'm looking for Eric B. Enemy. Yeah. You know what I mean? This guy.

Well, we're here now. You're too far in. I know. And as far as our bad options go, I'd almost rather shoddy just write it out because I don't, I mean, this guy's an offensive line coach. He's never called plays. Like, what do we? I don't see OC on his list anywhere other than like co-o-o-c and co-this, co-ed. Has shoddy called plays in a game?

He has, yeah. He definitely did. but he did it for Pete Carroll. 18 to 20, he was definitely calling all those plays in Seattle. Now, Pete Carroll fired him and said, we wanted to run the ball more. They already ran the ball a lot, but there is a case to be made that Shottie is a little bit more aggressive

and wide open than he's shown in the past. We're going to find out. But just, again, in rethinking it, I think he could be a good CEO head coach because that's the part that I think you can train on the job for. You can watch the head coach, too. I think Dan Campbell did this in New Orleans with Sean Payton. He was the assistant head coach and the tight ends coach.

Dan Campbell never called plays. Not to my knowledge, but he was learning how to be a head coach. And then when he became a head coach, he was just the head coach. I feel like Shottie might be able to do that. But I don't think he can do it while calling plays. And I don't even think he can call plays. So I think they just got ahead of themselves. And now he's the O.C. and the head coach.

But he will not be next year. They will have an O.C. next year. That's a pretty boring post-game press conference, but I did go through it for you, and there's a couple of bingos. The biggest thing for me is, again, we just, you know, we have to balance up the time of possession. You know, we had the defense out there for over 40 minutes. That's too long. Why is that? Well, we weren't very good on third down, and we've got to be better on third down. Now, we all watched, dude. We know why it was. Just the questioning. We need to play more physical. I know we're more physical than that. Again, how do you do that? Well, you do that by

having padded praxis and you do that by having your run drills and things like that and see now this this is a different part this is something that you can say words all you want but they don't mean anything if you don't do them and that's what we've heard about we're going to have a tough training camp and a very physical training camp now i have not been at many practices but i've talked to a bunch of the guys who were at all the practices and who have been around the Cowboys for years watching them at training camp

and the consensus seems to be that this was not a particularly hard-hitting training camp that it was not a physical training camp so he says things because he was saying it last week he was saying last week's practices were going to be real physical how come well because they're wearing pads I don't know that that always

Yeah, that is an A to B. Because everybody, so in the first few weeks of camp, Cowboys Twitter was bitching nonstop about how this is too much. The injuries are just insane. Why do we have these padded practices every day? Why are they hitting so much? And that is happening.

And people who watch those practices, as you're referring to, are like, they have pads on, but there's nothing intense about this. Just because they have pads on, it's not translating to intense practice. And I had forgotten that I wrote an article on Friday completely based off one of our conversations in the car, which is my first camp was 2016, which was an insane desir. And you can find the video of him going through one-on-ones and everything, but I've got it on my phone. I remember it like it was yesterday.

It felt like watching a high school or college football practice, like at night. I'm not even sure if there's rules out here. This guy might have a gun. like he just seems insane and Orlando Scandrix over there just blank blank blank back and forth that might have been 14 but my point is there was a level of like danger to those practices

Yeah some guys were actually getting pissed that he's He was embarrassing them He's playing too hard but then that got them To raise their game That was a yes It was a thing dude Practice super intense You would get chills watching them because it was like

Oh this is like he's out here to He's out here to dominate Yeah he's out here to embarrass you He's got his money. Do you want, right, no. It was different, man. You missed Dez's edge, for sure. Dez's edge, and then, okay, who's going to step up now?

You know, I was reading reports of what Miles Garrett was doing to the Eagles in their practice, and they couldn't practice. The Eagles couldn't practice because Miles Garrett was just wrecking the fucking game. Play after play after play. And that's what Micah would have been doing out there. And I know he's not, like, Dez, but. He is vocal, and I just think having the, they really screwed up by not having him there for Shottie's first camp because that guy's already in an uphill battle trying to get everyone to listen to him. And instead of Micah being out there like yelling, nobody can block me and Sam Williams is getting more hyped up, he's walking around with half a jersey on, like, hiding.

And everyone's paying attention to that. And Marquis Bell Had one physical play Where he put a hat on somebody And they ripped him out of practice Yeah And he said the Rams was doing that to us Yeah

Didn't say anything to them But you pull me out of practice And dude They just got Bodied in both these Preseason games on the ground They're small two Mazzis What are we doing?

Right Can we cut Mazi Like another team would cut him by now He's only here Because he's a first round pick And the problem is much like Mac Brown and quarterback. Now they're like, well, we've got a guy.

I'm like, well, he clearly isn't the guy. But to them, they're like, we already fixed that problem. We drafted someone. They look soft. Yeah, well, then the question is like, what is a shoddy team? What is this team? What's the identity? Because he came in, blustery, hey, I want to run the ball more.

I'm going to hire this guy. He was an offensive line coach. That means he likes to run the ball. you know, we're going to run the ball. So then they directed none of their resources in the offseason to the run game. They hired scrap heap off the free agent pile. They could have been better had they just kept. Why is he escaping me?

They were running back last year. Rico Dowdell. Rico Dowdell, who signed a one-year, like, $2 million deal with incentives. They could have absolutely signed him here for that. you'd be much better off as well. So much better off. Much better off. So you don't, like they're saying,

I want our identity to be this, but they're probably going to be much more of what you might call a finesse team if they're successful because they've got to open it up. They got to do air coriol. They've got two very good wide receivers. And they've got a very good quarterback. Their only hope is to. they've got to put points on the board.

Their run defense is terrible, by all accounts. They didn't really increase that this year, make that better. So they're not going to be able to do what they say they want to do, which is control both sides of the line of scrimmage. They have to just try and put a lot of points on the board because they might be given up a lot of points too. Yeah, and I think if anything, you're right to point out. It's just frustrating that it feels like it's kind of a charade because you don't come in and say, like, we're going to pound the rock, and you hire Clayton at it, and then just

don't get a running back. Like, that's just a slap in people's face to be like, this is what we really care about. Like, say, we're going to open it up. And then, you know, what's wrong are saying that? We got two dynamic wide receivers. We got a quarterback who we think is in the prime of his career. Let's go. Yeah.

Let's go. And see if you can block Micah when we're up. But I don't know, for some reason, teams I feel like especially guys who aren't, like, you know who doesn't have to do this, Andy Reid. Andy Reid doesn't have to get up there and sell you a line of bullshit about like I'm a tough guy, I run the football, because you know he can win. But, you know, new

coaches, they do, right? Mike McDaniel, Cliff Kingsbury, they start getting criticized. I feel like shoddy is trying to let you know I'm also a tough football guy. He also likes this one thing, bingo. This is my last shoddy cut. But, you know, we got a couple

turnovers on defense and then we turn it over on offense. You know, we get the one sudden change which we talked about this, you know, all week in terms of... Yeah, sudden change is a bingo, but that's not what I'm looking for here. You know, we get the one sudden change, which we talked about this, you know, all week in terms of can you gather that momentum? The defense gets the fumble, I think, right?

And the very first play we throw an interception. So that's just those are things you can't do. I mean... He just likes using the word that it doesn't really mean what he's saying. You don't gather momentum. You just don't make a crappy play. How about the thing is, it doesn't matter when you make that interception. you don't want to have that interception.

So the fact that it's one play after you get a fumble, well, that's pretty bad. That was really bad. I mean, because I get the fumble and it's take a shot, right? And then the deep safety was there the entire time. Well, you have to, yes, you have to then know maybe the other team is going to know you also like to capitalize and take a shot because that's kind of what everybody does. Hey, you know, there's also the fact that Mingo does nothing else.

So when he's on the field, they know you're probably going to play with a kid like this in high school. They're like, we got two plays for you. He can run straight. Hopefully they won't figure out that every time you're out here, we throw the same route to you. Because that guy's a waste of space as well. So now what do we got? Mingo Mazzi. What was Mingo Mazzie Milton?

What was Mingo's injury? Get rid of these Ms. You know, I don't know. I think it looked lower body. PCL or something? fear that it would be PCO. They look like a team that's a little bit able to be punched in the mouth. I also still think they can score a lot of points,

and we're going to have a fun season. Everyone's going to have a good time. That would be great. Quick hit on fairlease.com. Excuse me, fairlease.org. Oh, now you'll remember that I said it wrong. It's fairlease.org. That is where you can go get a new vehicle.

Or you're just sitting right there Where are you? Right where you are On your phone On the throne on the phone We were talking about how hot it was this weekend You don't got to go dealership to dealership And sweat your balls off

Go to fairlease.org Do it all right there This is even more important With the fall coming back around We got youth sports Blake's going to three football games In three days every weekend Because I don't want to go to a dealership

When football's on Oh, okay You save that for the spring I don't need it The falls are for football and for Fairlease at Fairlease.org. Make it easy leasing your next vehicle. They'll help you out with your trade in. If you're in a bad lease deal, they can help you out with that.

We've actually heard from people who had their leases purchased out from D&M. So hit them up, run these things by them. They can help you in some way, I promise, at Fairlease.org. Okay. Somewhat Cowboys related here. I saw this tweet the other day, and it was from a guy who hosts, like, Locked-on Broncos. And it was a tweet that is clearly fake.

It was just like an AI-generated photo of Micah in a Broncos uniform. And it said this. If you want to put it up, Clayton, they can read it. It's just like it says it's something from the edge with Michael Parsons. Cowboys Superstar Edge, Michael Parsons 11 on possibly playing for the Broncos. My dream destination? Denver. I would love to play for the Broncos.

they already got the best defense in the league and they have a real chance at the Super Bowl and then via the edge with Micah Parsons the exact same way that, you know, you see these things quoted. There's a fake graphic on there, TDN. It says football's 33rd front office, which I believe there's a,

do you know the 33rd team, Blake? No. It's like an analytics company of coaches. Oh, okay. So I think this is like a send-up on that to make it look real. And it's got kind of a bad photo, Photoshop there. So then I see this guy who hosts this podcast and posted this tweet, follow up and says,

Oh my God, my bait made NFL Network. And it's just a screenshot from NFL Network's broadcast to the Bronco game of that tweet. So I'm like, I'm going to have to find out what happened here. There were no clips online, so we went to the original source. Enjoy. Steve Levy. By the way, doing play-by-play for the Broncos. I'll go around the top 100 players.

You low your volume? You think that's it? I don't know. This is playing on my headphones all good, man. Is it these new things? I don't know. Do we have to start doing the other plug-in again? It's yours.

Or put the audio in Dropbox. Okay. I'm sorry, guys. Where did Clayton go? You guys remember Fairleast.org? I do. Yeah, you can get a car there and stuff Um, let's put this in drop box

I'm sorry folks That's okay In the August folder? Yeah, I'm going to bug You want me to play you guys a little something? Yeah Okay, because I have a Ooh, yeah, you do

Other pre-game or Other preseason football audio for you This is Dylan Gabriel Are you familiar with him? Oh yeah You know their bit? He's one of the Browns 17 draft picks They drafted 17 quarterbacks this year for some reason.

Got to be a cut coming at some point, right? They drafted Dylan Gabriel thinking this is the guy we like. And then all of a sudden, Shador Sanders is still there two rounds later. And the homeless guy got to Jimmy. Yeah, then the owner is like, look, we got to take Shador Sanders. So now they have them both. But Shador Sanders, very, what do we know about him? We know Deion.

We know he's flashy. He's got a brand, right? I know that he entered his first start with an entourage, a guy carrying a boombox, guys carrying all manner of props. Yeah, he's always, like, he's about, he's about more than football. And if we know something about Dylan Gabriel, it's like, he's a real boring dude. In fact, in college interviews, I think he's come across as like a robot, but he just, he's all about robot. It's because he was high. But he is definitely, he's a chill behind.

Football, football, football. So they're talking to him. I believe at half time of the Browns game this weekend. Anyway, this is from and then the NFL tweeted this out. You gave us some fabulous wisdom and how

you tune out the noise and you don't let it infiltrate yourself. Will you share that with everybody at home? Yeah, I think it's just part of it. You know, there's entertainers and there's competitors, and I totally understand that, and my job is to compete. And that's what I'm focused on doing.

Of course, we're doing this mid-game, But, you know, it's something that I'll get used to and just want to be the best team that I can and create an environment where we can all go do our best work. That's all we want to do. So most people took that as a shot at Shador Sanders. Like they're entertainers and there's competitors. I'm a competitor.

So the media after the game, Tony Grosie, and I believe the newly minted Hall of Famer, Mary Kay Cabot, was asking him questions about this, asking him to clarify, what does he mean by all of that? And he said this. All you in this room are entertainers. He said, all of you in this room. All you in this room are entertainers. And you have a job to do, and I respect it, right?

And I'm a competitor, so I have a job to do as well. And I think, you know, just understanding that, that's how I've lived by and I've said that multiple times. So definitely not a new quote. I'm all about our team. You know what I mean, and each other. I would never make that. And I've said it before. That's why it's interesting.

But for me, I've explained that entertainers are you all, Confederate, that's what I am and all my teammates. And we both have jobs to do. So that's it. I believe him. I don't think you come up with that answer on the fly as a lie. I think that he's just doing the taxpayers from the whatever, the professionals, whoever said that 30 years ago or the man in the arena.

You think? That explanation wasn't come up with on the fly necessarily. He might have been prepped for it. Like, hey, that's true. There's a lot of social media buzz about your halftime interview. Come up with something where it doesn't sound like you're bagging on your teammate. Can you play the beginning of it again? Like, how did they get this?

How did they arrive at this answer? They just kind of said, hey, you were saying this off the air, right? Because I think that's important. I think they put him in that spot where if he was saying, hey yeah I know I look at it as like I love you guys but you're just entertainers your opinion doesn't matter I'm the competitor well I didn't play that before but here you go I think this is kind of no no I'm saying this is Tony Grossey in the press conference yeah but I'm saying on the sideline initially how did this come up they said something like she said something

you gave us some fabulous wisdom and how you tune out the noise and you don't let it infiltrate yourself will you share that with everyone? Everybody at home. Okay, so pause. He was talking about this off the air, and then they brought it up on this, clipped out that question, and then he's saying competitors. But if they were talking to him in a production meeting two days ago, and they're like, how do you deal with the criticism?

He probably said, this is how I think of it. I think they did him extreme, well, the media ecosystem did him dirty. Because I don't think he was trying to talk shit. And I think it's also weird for a reporter to be like, hey, that thing you took. told me off the air. Can you talk about that here? Like, that's typically something you go over. Like, was that on the record? Was that off the record? Let's put this in context here. I think that's weird. All right. Do we have it? Yeah, we do. Okay, so just started playing. This is the Broncos Cardinals preseason broadcast. Obviously, I don't have control of it here, so we'll just

try to make this work. They ran their top 100 players today. The NFL number. And Nick Benito was 30. seventh, and Micah Parsons was 35th. I mean, that's how close. Broncos linebacker, right? Nick Benino, so they're talking about how these players are actually not that far apart, whatever. They're talking about somebody ranked top 100 or something. Yeah, there you go, boy. And just how they stack up to Parsons.

Close. A lot of people view those two players. Well, Nick Menino is a better player all around. And Micah Parsons, make no mistake about it. a prolific pass rusher. No one's taking that from him. And he does not want to play the run. Nick Benito, on the other hand, he plays the run. He can rust the passer. Got three straight pressures last week. One of them ending in a sack. And oh, by the way, you had a pick six last season. I mean, I didn't see Michael Parsons do that. And that's again where it looks good.

Michael Parsons is a big name. Bring him in. He's also been a headache for that organization. You've got a guy who's quietly doing his work, getting better after being drafted by the Broncos. Nick Benino's done everything right Okay, pause it, yeah I don't know You're just getting a Homer broadcast If you listen to another team's broadcast This is what it sounds like

Micah's a problem He's a headache, Benino just does it the right way Micah doesn't even want to play the run Well, I don't know I don't watch Nick Benito And think like Boy, Benito's really blowing up the run there They're the same player in a lot of ways

The guy's just doing his thing Skip ahead a little bit Because they have a play made And then we can get back to it Mike is an all pro I mean Yeah Benito made the all pro

How are you comparing these two players? Well I mean look The players voted him as 35 and 37 So it's not as crazy as they think But let's see Fine Lost seven out of the play Still got to get him down

And for Turner This is one of those plays That to me He makes this play He's going to make a few more now Now he understands Normal To trust himself

And to trust his eyes They should have moved on Right Before the evening's over I think the Broncos's Practice squad is going to be something to see. There's going to be a lot of teams picking guys off that roster. That's the biggest compliment you can get to and under pressure.

Just got it away before. After this point. Maybe this guy, Michael Parsons. I love hearing all of this, though. This is very... I did quite a bit of this over the weekend. It's Blue Star, though. Pop in on other networks.

But it's something I've heard with the Cowboys, not this year as much, but in the past is greatest compliment you could ever have. Right. Is your practice squad players. They're picking them up. So go back a little bit to when the woman's... starts talking. Michael Carter out to the 36-yard

line. Cynthia Freeland down on the field. So maybe this guy, Micah Parsons, in a contract that also has some question marks, let's call it that. Pause. At this point, the Parsons' tweet is on the screen. Okay. The Micah fake tweet is on the screen, and they've

taken it from the tweet and put it in their own graphic, so that's what's up there. So maybe this guy, Micah Parsons, in a contract that also has some question marks, let's at that. Look, his pressure percentage last year, 19.1% per next gen stat. It was the

best in the National Football League, despite missing games. So, wherever he lands, whatever happens, maybe Michael Parsons would be, you know, a lot of fun to hang out with. That's the report. That's a weird report. They didn't even reference the tweet, right?

The tweet's on the screen and she's like, I don't know, maybe contract with some questions? It's fun to hang out with. And I thought, boy, that flopped. Let's see if they just move on. They don't. There's no doubt about that. You'd be fun to hang out with.

Everybody gave Sean Payton some grief for saying he wants to win a Super Bowl. How about this? Now pause it. He is underlining the part on the tweet where it says the Broncos have a real chance to win the Super Bowl. They put it back up and his tellistrator is underlining a fake quote. Well, wait. Also back it up just a little bit. People are giving Sean Peyton grief for saying he wants to win the Super Bowl.

Well, I think he was, they're doing the coach thing, right? Like where Sean Payton's like, I think this is a Super Bowl team and everyone's like, no, it's not. Hold on, slow down. That bit. There's no doubt about that. You'd be fun to hang out with. And everybody gave Sean Payton some grief for saying he wants to win a Super Bowl. How about this?

You got one of the best defensive ends saying Broncos have a real chance of a Super Bowl. So don't get mad of him too. Wow. This is now something we've heard echoed. Wow. Wow. I feel like Steve Levy knows it's fake, and he's like, I have no idea what to do with this right now,

but we're running with it. I don't know if you can ghost toward laugh your own joke. He did. Get mad at him too. Wow. This is now something we've heard echoed though from Drake Greenlawn, Telanoa Hufanga. They said, I wanted to come here because of the defense,

and because Bo Nix. And the head coach. Okay. And the owner. We're building an entire segment here on, boy, people just want to join the Broncos based on a guy who didn't want to join the Broncos. Right. It's just so funny. Well, we're also using fake everything.

And the fact that this is Denver reminds me, gosh, who was the pitcher, Mike Hampton, who wanted to go to free agency because they had a good school system. Right. This is before Columbine. but the but they're using quotes also from guys that they did say well why did you want to come to Denver and they were probably the place

that offered them the most money and they were like well no it was just because of Sean Peyton yeah yeah I love Sean cooking something here actually they offered me 2.4 million and Baltimore offered 1.9 million but so I thought Sean Peyton is way better than Harbaugh. Almost done

and because Bo Nix there and the head coach and the ownership that's all rolling together now. When you have a great ownership group that lets you do the things to win championships, re-sign key players. Everything's going awesome. No other ownership would let you win a championship.

This is time they've arrived. The Denver fucking Broncos. That's right. I mean, they got Bo Nix. I had to get over here as quick as I could. Geez, let's slow down a little bit. All right, keep finish it up. A group that lets you do the things to win championships,

re-sign key players, and bring in. marquee additions, you have a real shot. And getting over that hump, getting over that Chief's hump in the season and getting that first playoff berth. Oh, by the way, Michael Parsons, no playoff games. What? Well, now we're back to Shade to Mike.

First of all, he hadn't won in the playoffs, but he has played in a few playoff games. And also, we weren't talking about him anymore. What thought bubble just flew through? Also, who is that? I can find out. I had it early. Obviously, ex-branco.

Yeah. Micah, don't want him. We're going to be playing too many playoff games. I mean, look how in the player votes, our guy is two away from their guys, so I don't know. You see that good? Yeah, okay. Getting that first playoff berth, oh, by the way, Michael Parsons, no playoff games. And everything becomes a bigger deal with the Dallas Cowboys are involved.

What are we doing? What are we doing? When I joined Ent. That's it. That's part. like they're just debating like how Jerry's a bad owner and not like this Broncos owner that's why Michael wants to leave and come over here I'm like there's this line

there's this line of dejected people who had to walk away who were not able to sign with the Broncos this offseason because so if your broadcast starts doing this Blake we're gonna make fun of you okay if Tom Emmerich goes on like a 10 minute thing about a fake trade you know don't want Mahomes don't want them here Oh man It's a lot of fun

Yeah. And you started giving me a review off the air, and it sounded like what I anticipate. What I've heard from people who have seen the whole thing, they're not telling me anything that I don't know, it feels like. You will learn nothing. Is it that maybe it's just cool to see old footage and see Summerall and Madden and you're feeling good about the old cowboys,

but it's more of a, this is produced by Jerry Jones. So if you want a real in-depth behind all the bad and the good and everything for the last 30 years, you ain't going to get it. Yeah. So the bad is framed as like, The only bad is when Jerry was having hard times because of, like, money. Because once it turns around, it's all pretty much good. And I haven't seen all of it.

I know that I'm sure Irvin's legal stuff does come up. But listen, I mean, what made the Cowboys of the 90s interesting was that component of, boy, this is insane. You know, there's a bail bondsman who everyone knows the name of all of a sudden, and David Wells. That's not in here. uh obviously there are reasons for this but you're not going to hear from rich dalrymple or anybody else who knows anything about the other side of the coin that makes this story so interesting and it's weird like i've heard people call it the last danceification of like sports documentaries but i don't know somehow i feel like the last dance still made jordan look bad like he's

such an awe i don't know you know what i mean like he still gave you like the yeah that's how i treated him. And the guy, you'd go to the guy, and he's like, it was horrible. And Jordan's like, that's what I did. That's how it was. And so I didn't feel like they were hiding anything in the last dance. This feels very much like we're just not going to look at what's behind that window or that door over there. I mean, if you win three Super Bowls in a decade, that's interesting. If you're called the team of the 90s, it's worthy of some kind of a documentary. But you're right. What makes it very interesting is, you know, it's kind of like the Raiders of the 70s or something.

Or how Miami of the 80s before Jimmy got to Dallas, right? I mean, that was the swag they carried over. Yeah. They were just Miami of the NFL, and they were getting arrested like Miami of the NFL. And, dude, if somebody could go do, like, if there were four or five Dallas and Las Kalinas police officers that would do full gangland-style interviews on... you know, anonymity, you'd learn a lot.

It'd probably be the most interesting sports-related documentary you could ever see. Somebody was cleaning up for Mike. It's certainly, you do certainly think how many more could they have won. You know, you do,

but do you want a gummy-thought-that? That's how I think about, it's hard for me to think about the pro without the con or the con without the pro. Like when people would say, I really wish Des could just kind of just get it together. I'm like, I don't think he'd be good if he did.

This is what I've tried to ask Charles Haley. But I feel like what made Jerry and Jimmy work was that, like, constant, like, God, alpha, ego, alpha, ego, and you get the best out of that. But can that last for 10 years? 12 years? I don't think so. I think you have to have more of a Kraft Belichick type thing where eventually it goes bad, but it lasts longer because both are. aren't interested in constantly being the guy who gets credit so much. I think that that relationship was built to burn bright and burnout fast.

I guess the thing that is disappointing, it's just that Jerry, it's kind of like the Nico thing. I mean, nothing can ever be as bad as Nico for sure. But the, you know, if you won multiple championships or won even with this guy, but you built what's around him, you, that's great credit to you. that's that's no slight to you you don't have to trade that guy and get your own guy in here and then win it all to to for us to think you should get credit and the same thing with jerry like if you just presided over like you hired jimmy nobody else would have at the time like you you did it like that show and he was the key that's why you won all those super bowls and i think somewhere in jerry's head i wonder if he's told himself enough times that he actually believes it, that had he hired Switzer first, they would have still won those Super Bowls.

Because obviously not. I mean, Jimmy was the whole thing. Right. From a front off, I mean, Jimmy was a forward-thinking, like, analytics-based thinker before people even called it that. He understood the draft in a way that nobody else did, or very few did at the time.

I mean, yeah, I don't, I think probably there's some level of, like, inferiority complex or imposter syndrome, even in the billionaire who runs the Dallas Cowboys. where he wasn't much of a player but he loves the game and he always wanted to be like thought of as the football man and in every situation he's been

he's not right there's another guy around him when they're talking football who's always going to be a real football guy and I think that bothers him and I think it's always bothered him and now we're having to serve that personal insecurity

by hiring Brian Schottenheimer Yeah That's a good way to step away for a moment All right You know, many people are talking about When's the dumb zone Going to be out in public again where I could join them.

I have the answer. It will be next Friday. We will be doing a program at Waterburger in Grand Prairie. Yes. And at that Waterburger remote, we will have another batch. They say the last batch.

of exclusive dumb zone slash waterburger car trays or waterburger slash dumbzone collectible car trays. And they also have the new limited edition, Bacon Wrangler Double. Whoa. Are you aware of this, Clayton? The Bacon Wrangler Double? And the limited edition, Dr. Pepper Blackberry Shake. I'm aware of both of those items and think they are both great. They will put them on your car tray for you.

That Chipotle Aoli. Now, here's the thing about this remote, Friday, August 29th, one week from Friday. Onion strings? It is at 9 a.m. What are we doing? Breakfast? Come get a tequila. But we're going to be on.

We'll be there from like 9 to noon. question mark who knows maybe a little after that goes into lunch yeah you could be there and have two meals with us watch me hit the wraparound yeah i'll do breakfast burger then i'll then i'll do this wonderful thing this is with crispy onion strings on it the old bellichick right says here the uh crispy onion strings chipotle aoli savory bacon and tangy pixels that's what texas tastes like yeah i don't know i mean i guess that's subjective right that i can't disprove that it also says here what a burger is serving up dr pepper flavor with a blackberry twist the all new one of a kind dr pepper blackberry shake of limited you know they give us this for like 10 reads we

don't have to do all of it ever but we are going to be there next friday and it is going to be a breakfast show we go have trays the trays are only at the remote. You cannot buy them online. This will be it. Correct. And if you want to feel extra special, these are tariff trays, meaning they cost us five times as much. These are more expensive trays than the first trays. The original trays. And listen, geopolitics, typically not really affecting the dumb zone, but these are the end of the trays. There you go. So that's next Friday, Grand Prairie, 9 a.m. If you show up at... Has anyone ever been up, that early. If you show up at Medium Prairie, don't blame us. Hey, thanks.

Before we get to the news, the Rangers are dead. Okay, Jamie Newberg, what are you doing? Like, I see him. It's such a bummer weekend, man. Or a week, really. Yeah, it's like every day they're dead. Then they're back. Then you watch They were never back. They were not back the whole time we were gone. They were dead. They were back for a minute. They were back when you made me turn the TV on. And have you realized what's happened since that moment. Tell me. They're one in four, and they've blown three late game leads, including the next one. Yeah. I turned the Rangers off, midway through that game, and I said to Blake,

they're done. They were down five, six runs. Hey, uh, guess nobody's a Rangers fan over here, why Linkford just hit a, okay, we'll turn it back on. He did make it six, five. But Dan, you became infatuated with the big boy Ranger that they brought in, Rowdy. Routy. Yeah, who got mad at the fan a couple days ago. The fan, the radio station, because they called him fat. Well, what did they say? Gertquake, which I actually think is funny. Earthquake is good, yeah.

It sounds like the overall tone-in-centered. Like, that guy should lean into being fat. I mean, I don't know those guys to fad all that much, but it seemed to me like Rowdy might have been a bit of a tight-ass. Oh, really? I don't know. Like, they're joking around with you. Whatever.

Anyway, they made him pitch the other day. Oh, my gosh. I missed that? That was awesome. By 13 runs, 12 runs, yeah. Wow. You also missed the first. fun one yesterday. This won't show up in the highlight reel, but he was on first, and the right

fielder was going to make a catch and then didn't. So now Rowdy's standing in between first and second, and just the most half-ass little league, like I guess I'll try back for first. I don't, I'm 300 pounds and stuck between first and second, the right fielder has the ball. Just very pathetic. Can you throw them out? Yeah, they didn't take raw Mondesie out there to fire, he just walked back towards the dugout. That's a great callback. Such a, just, I don't know, the whole weekend. But what did I tell you when we were gone?

I said, they got me to football. Yeah, we're in football seats. That's how I feel. We are. We're, uh, is it two weeks from Thursday? Cowboy game? No, three weeks. Two?

Two weeks from this Thursday. Three, two. No, two weeks from this Thursday, yeah. One week from Friday is What a Burger show? Yeah. Two weeks and Thursday, Cowboy game. Two weeks from Tuesday, I think, is going to be our upfronts. We're going to announce a bunch of new stuff for the fall season.

He already got a blazer. Here on the Dumb zone. You got a blazer and everything. Do you want to talk about what I witnessed during the break? Sure. Are you saving that for, like, TikTok video or something? Oh, no, no, no. No, the show's first.

Okay. Because you, yes, you came in this morning and you said, I got something for Henry today. Yeah, so I saw this video of this company making their employees walk in and they started recording and they just simply asked them to sit on the ground

without bending their knees. This is one of those let's see what kind of a problem solver you are. It's twofold. One, it's funny to see but two, them trying to figure out how to do this is funny. Yeah. So it took Henry a little bit.

Jake nailed it. So what do you do? Just do this? You already screwed. Why? The only way that I think you can really do it is just fall. Just fall and catch yourself like a push-up. Because if you hinge at all, your knees are going to bit.

See, that's... How are you going to get out of that? One girl did the split. That, if you can pull it off, but that's a lot. You pretty much did, yeah. You did it in a tighter space than I did. But you also have to be... Henry, it took him like a half hour.

He was in here. He took him along. He wanted to quit. Like, he fell four times. just straight on his back. He did want to quit, though. But you did correctly identify it, like, your fourth try. You were like, is this for TikTok?

Of course. They're my wife. You record me. Listen, things come through a little bit slower in my head sometimes. It's all good, man. You're in the right place. Someday you can go to Game Day men's health, get rid of that brain fog. That's why I asked.

Right. That's why I asked. I was like, is there anything for me? Get some peptides. For sure, dude. It'll help you out, seriously. Give you a little boosty before you go back to college. They got to engage with the younger market.

They're hoping you just kind of have your life together and, you know. Hey, we all don't, you know. I'll give you some of mine. Okay. And then the other thing I wanted to bring up is just something you guys didn't say. Nobody remarked about my shirt today. I do, you know what? I should have, because right when I walked in, I was like, that's sick.

Not that it's crumb, which I believe this came from Taryn. She seems to be our leading crumb listener. I don't know. We're going to have a contest later this year to see who's the biggest dumb zone listener in crumb. The crumb zone. I don't hate it. I don't hate that either. I'm going to have to compliment myself for coming up with that.

But the thing is, I walked down the stairs this morning. wife is there still that's a boo she's on her way out the door that's a yay I like to have a little quiet time no doubt I was going to say in the morning

but it really turns out to be every second of every day I really wish I had to take it where you can get it totally quiet time but she was taken a back and said your shirt is white and she claimed

I haven't worn like a shirt that's not black in years or at least very dark I think that that probably is why that one jumped out at me today. It did feel a little weird. I think it looks cool. Hey, thanks, man. I think mixing colors up is good.

Well, every time I wear one, like a thing with the... And then I did, so I did... Look at how fly you look, though. I channeled Jake and Blake because I said this is a white shirt with blue, so I should get a blue hat. Yep. Because I think I had my black Game Day hat on. And I thought, you know what? let's find a blue hat

and you guys are now nodding in approval like yes this guy knows fashion now I feel like your game today has been A plus and I think this is why oh my god don't tell me at all oh god son get out of this swag lord blue shoes he popped

leave some pussy for the rest of us he popped in this room this morning like a sitcom character who hadn't been on the show in a little bit and just like he's crushing he's crushing this season One more thing before we mentioned the news, early bird CBD. That's the CBD.

That's got THC in it. Right. You know who knows about THC, Henry? Damn straight. Yeah. And if you're in another state, that's all well and good. Yeah, well, we're out in California. It was like, oh, man, there's THC left and right.

What if you're here in Texas? Then you need early bird CBD.com, and you might need yourself a promo code. Maybe you need yourself a new one, like DZ20. I'm not saying, but I'm saying you may want to stock up. And DZ20 will get you 20% off here at early bird CBD.com. Like Dan said, real THC, two and a half miggies in each gummy. Probably not again. I don't think people are saying me.

So if you have to take a drug test, these are not for you. But if you want to take the edge off, just enjoy your next encounter with life. A little more. Do it with early bird CBD.com. promo codes DZ20. here's jane with the dumb zone news all right let's switch off the soccer practice plans page is this your first night of yeah being a soccer coach i'm legit nervous like legit nervous i'm proud of you i feel that i was going to feel that you were proud of me even if you didn't say it so that helps to be honest uh rock wall i sd his kids are back at school

They have an investigation on their hands after two flags were seen hanging from Rockwall Heath High School. These were found around 6 o'clock Saturday morning and reported to the police. Now, what's on the flags? That's on every his mind here. What's their rival? Probably Rockwall. Rockwall rules Heath drools. Do you think that was it?

I doubt it. No, I was, they were Nazi flags. They were just Nazi flags. Like a real, printed out? It says two massive flags hung over the roof and had swastikas on them. So it sounds like painted, custom, perhaps. You know, it does remind me of a story. I was thinking about this the other day because one of my dad's friends died and his son was a little bit older than me.

and he was like the guy in my town big man on campus type and his uh group that he ran around with so this would have been like the mid 90s they they called themselves d p h anybody any department of pimping hose and they would put d phdicks stickers all over the school everywhere and like what little dude what does it mean and for their senior prank they hung a full, because also his family owned a sign making company. Like a signs plus or something. They hung a full banner from 820, the loop 820, hanging down onto Roof Snow, a major intersection that just said DPH, the Department of Pimp and Hose, Richland High School. That's great.

No Nazi flags to be found. Now, those guys likely were, in fact, probably trending towards Nazism. But they didn't say it. It wasn't a part of their game. pimping hose was not much comedy in the nazism yeah um would a print shop even print you legit hey i just want these huge swastikas i'm indian and i believe in peace is that the origin of the swastika like it used to be that symbol indian or like hindu i believe maybe peace peaceful dude it's a sick symbol i mean that's a thing let's be honest

Let's send Henry into a print shop just to see it. No, no, no. What's the worst that could happen? Yeah. Let's do it. So what'd be funnier? A cake, I don't feel like is funny because they're going to know you're doing bits. Are they?

Well, I guess I say that just because it feels like the cake baker became like a political football cultural thing with the gays recently, right? Can you throw a... Actually, here's the... Just give them a picture. Yeah. But what if I had him, like, try to order soccer jerseys on the phone? Like, hey, I figured I'd call, because I know this is a little bit of a... Like, what's a real German Schmidt?

So you're like, I'm Steve Schmidt or whatever, and yes, actually my grandpa wanted me to get this cake. I don't even know what's in it. He said he's got a picture in here. He wanted to put on it. Could you make that? Oh, my God. Would you do that, Henry? Or are you a pussy?

You know, I think it's going to be a pretty firm no on that one. Not about the cause. Had a little murder suey in Dallas over the weekend. And I feel like typically with these, there's one of two demographic identifiers. Seems like for a while they were happening quite a lot in the, like, I don't know if it was Muslim community, but it felt like it was very, popular among Easterners. What?

There's a guy in their whole family. It was happening a lot, I feel like, in Texas, where a lot of times it was like a guy had gotten financially down, and he just was like, this is the only way. The other possible demographic identifier is old. Like, you just don't see that many 40 kills 38. This is a 77-year-old man and a 63-year-old

woman. Five o'clock Saturday afternoon. It's typically old's. Yeah. 63 doesn't seem as old as you would think it'd be in that. 77 does, but yeah, that's true.

It's not quite old enough. But again, you don't see a lot of 41-year-old husband kills 39-year-old wife or vice versa as much. Too bad. Yeah Now, what do you know, Daner says You should try to get the younger demographic into that mix

You know, everybody's trying to get the younger demographic these days What can we do? Oh, so we just want to get them younger Let's let's, how about we do Have 21-year-olds killing 20-year-olds What just started happening? I don't know Let me give you an hour

What do you know about Roblox? I know a little bit Is this something you What is it? I was going to say, is this something you play? But I know that it is not a specific game. It is a platform of games, right? Yes.

Do you have any other context you could add so that I don't sound like a complete moron here trying to explain it? Yeah, it's, yeah, people kind of create their own games through those, I guess, servers. You could play it on any console or what is this? And, like, the one game that I always like to play on there, I really never got on Roblox very often, but there were these speed runs, and it's just these maps that get designed out that are really cool and got different barriers, and you're trying to just speed run. So it's a lot of like mini games, I'll say.

And there is a component of money, like online money, that they call Robux, Dan. And here's what I know about this. I know that all of my daughter's friends are addicted to it, so I know I'm staying away from it for now. And this is going to help my case because a man in Dallas, he is a former Marine, his name is not listed here, it's just John Doe, he is accusing Roblox, the company of basically creating an environment where he was sexually assaulted at the age of 11. He's mid to late 20s now and in the Marine Corps. and he says that when he was 11 that a guy started contacting him and said that if he were if he would send him like suggestive images of him in fifth or sixth grade the guy would send him robucks back which can be used on the game and the dude was like okay and then whenever

the guy said he wanted to stop the guy the pedophile said well how about I out you to all your friends and so this led to him meeting up with this guy he's the guy told him if you don't meet up with me everyone will know and he did and he was assaulted more than once everyone will know what that you are gay and that you've been sending me nudie photos um so yeah he's trying to go after i mean i don't know how these things work as far as you're going to get a settlement i doubt they're going to change any laws but yeah you know they say that they use filters and moderators and parental controls but none of that works dude like if your kid wants to figure you it out they will and it's not just figure it out it's that there's people out there trying to

you know this is an adult male posing as a minor flirting with this kid and before he knows it he's in like an economic scheme and this dude's suing him in Dallas so and now chris hanson's getting involved oh for real yes what are we talking about here he has joined the investigations over child exploitation issues. Nice. A story came out a couple hours ago. This was not in the first story I had. That's great.

He's just a hired gun. He's just joined. Let's see. It says he announced on Twitter. He just, he has, I'm pulling up the tweet right now. I'm jumping in here.

Kind of feels like when dog was trying to find that Gabby Petitos. Yeah, yeah. Like no one asked you. Oh, let's see here. But I'm jumping in. I don't know if this will play from my computer, but we can try it since it's not. that my streaming crime network

That sounds great That sounds terrible God he looks like poop too Chris Hanson Not good But you know He had a lot of It's like we say

You know When you gotta try to look good for TV It ends up sometimes kind of looking Dude Have you guys seen Romo lately? Yeah man What are we doing there? I showed it to my wife like

Hey I'm not crazy here right He's got some lip stuff going on And the cheek filler is crazy And he, his hair, it's like when you look at Jason Witten's hair when he was in the booth. His hair is so thick and dark now. Like it's way more than when he was a player. Yeah. So I don't know what he's got going on.

His face just looks crazy. Like it looks like he got almost like addicted to the pillar and stuff. He's a little clowny. Yeah, and he was always just like a good looking, normal kind of pudgy guy, right? I thought that was cool about him He didn't look He has a very weird thing going on But yes, I do like that Chris Hansen

has just positioned himself Or he can just glom on to any story About child predators in the news Hey, I'm going to help out So would he be on a Griffey list? Like if he was caught No With some child porn

Would you be like, oh yeah, this makes sense No, he's full bonds list So he's Bond. You would be like, yeah. Yeah. I'm not that surprised. In fact... He doth protest too much.

In fact, I bet there were nights after a day of Dell, which was the name of the hacker on that show that they would use to lure people. After a day of working with Dell all day, he got back to that Best Western and was like, I'm just as bad as these guys. They don't know. They don't know what I'm about. Pain inside those Chris Hansen eyes. He wants to have a seat.

Interesting. But he can't because it's his job to make you have a seat. We talked about this story a couple weeks ago, and we followed up on it, and we learned and gained a lot of respect for the world of international diplomats and agriculture and the governor. Because the governor has announced a new $750 million screw worm protection facility. To save the cattle. Do you guys remember this story? Yeah, the flies?

There is a type of screw worm that comes all the way from Panama, and it breeds, like, insanely, and it feeds on livestock blood, and it can get them sick, and it can be fatal, so much so that they had to halt live imports of animals for a while. while from Mexico. So the way that they do this is they produce 300 million sterile

screw worms who I guess then go boned the fertile screw worms and that's it. Now they're not reproducing anymore. Like that one has what, it's been satisfied? I don't understand it. It doesn't make any sense.

Can't get pregnant twice at the same time, right? I don't know, but I know that it works. Our buddy who worked for the State Department had hit me up about this and was like, this is one of the great accomplishments of state. Like, we do stuff like this. We figure out. Science, bro, yeah.

It's not all kicking down a door and. Science is sweet. Yeah. Pretty cool. So. They release so many of the sterile male mosquitoes. $750 million? Dude, I bet you for the industry, it's well worth it.

What do you think Texas is just pissing away money for something on science? Yeah. This has to be worth it for the cattle industry. And like you overcharge insurance companies, I bet you overcharge states. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah, definitely. Government work, but this will be in Edinburgh. Where's Elon when you need them to cut this waste?

Been a quiet couple weeks. Quiet a couple months. he been? He fired off that Epstein tweet. Dunked back real quick out of there. The president's a pedophile. I'll see you guys in a couple weeks, a couple months. What happened with Epstein? Where's that

the whole thing at? She's being punished by going to midnight Yale practice. Yeah, they're making her go to Aggie games down there, just to really put her through sexual torture. All right, there's your news, because I have some audio to play, and apparently that's not going to work.

What if you just said it? I can read it. Well, I could try, but it's from the pill lady in L.A. Oh, man. And I don't know if I can bully do her voice. A quick mention here for Lone Star Beer merch. Lone Star Beer, of course. The Dragon Den of Inequality is full of Lone Star Beer right now.

Matt Brown, who has one T in the name Matt. That bothers me quite a bit. Yeah.

Because at least with J-O-N, I assume you're Jewish. With M-A-T, I just think you're cocky. It's like, if you saw a guy walking down the street and he had one arm, you'd be like, What's up with this guy? Yeah, so I'm looking at Matt. That's just, it's missing an arm or, yeah. Okay, that's not where I was headed with it, but sure, I like it.

Oklahoma. They roll their joint's all wrong, folks. We also have... Writing in for my great buddy and good dude Ben Quasi Barth's birthday. Okay. Might be Quaysbarth. I don't know. He's a good day one.

I feel like mostly we get people asking if they can join. Justin says, Uncle Dan, please wish my wife Amanda Sadler, happy birthday. I will be waking her up in that special way because it's too damn hot.

to ride the lawnmower. Her claims to fame are sending Jake the Goldblum photo for the studio, and she left one banana on your driveway. She's a day one subby. She insisted that we each have our own subscription to support the pod, but I'll never get her to sit in because you don't meet your heroes. Her leaders are weak coffee, Dan, Jake's courage, drop Beth, and horny Amy.

How's Amy? I don't know. Yeah, we need to follow up. I think I saw reports that... Is she tagging that guy? No. Well, she may be, but I don't think they're dating right now. I think they had a good time and decided to go their separate ways, I think.

But she's still out there waiting to be knocked out. So Amanda Sadler says here, she's a charter member of the Beehive. Yep. And more Sarah Hepelah, F.

I got some glasses from I Butler. Yeah. I got prescription sunglasses and just a pair of reggies as well. I have mine right here. Oh, and they send us the blue block. I haven't used the blue blocker yet, but you say they're good to use on a computer at night. Yeah, my eyes feel way better. I just feel like you're not ready to pound the rock like he is with those sunglasses.

You and I are two. That looks, I feel like he's yelling at you to fill a hole. Yeah, that's badass. Anyway, we'll be back in town this October to attend Richland High School's 30-year reunion, and we'll sit in with you guys again. We hope to meet Jake this time. Ooh. Ooh.

A little shot. I've had a tough day over here I think of the brunt of it 30 years huh I guess that's not that much older than me do you take every September off what are you doing what are we doing this year our leaders are run the ball Blake

meth Sturgel and Jake's 49 mile power fastball from 11 kids Danny now we'll do some today in history on this day OTD we have this will be brought to us by Frankl and Frankel personal injury attorneys. We love you, Frankl and Frankel.

Really hit them up. I'll let you wreck into my car. Call Frankl and Frankl, and when you give them a call, you'll talk to a partner. There's not going to be some idiot like Henry answering the phone and going,

duh. I quit. A lawyer here. Oh, no. No. No. Partners. You're going to have a partner.

of the law firm. Top shots. Isn't like Franco and Henry. No. 817 or 214, 333, 333, 333. Seriously, if you have a personal injury and someone needs to get you what you deserve, you don't want to deal with those insurance companies. Call the Frankles.

Oh. So it's Monday, October, August 18th. On this day in 1587, the first ever child of English, parents to be porn in present-day America. So, first white kid, right? First anchor baby. Virginia Dare. That name rules.

Virginia? Yeah, I was very partial to it. Snow Bunny? What? On this day in 1920, it was the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Which one was that, Henry? Say again? That's right. It guaranteed all American women the right to vote.

and boy to that effort everything up for a while didn't it because they stopped they couldn't drink anymore the women are like oh I think that's somewhat backwards but I don't care historically awards tired of you beat me when I come home I'm going to vote against this

and then they didn't realize that ain't going to help well you know what they didn't realize is they were just creating NASCAR which was a way bigger problem down the line and on this day in 2001 Danny Almonte throughout the first Little League World Series perfect game in 44 years.

Then dropped his kids off at daycare. Faced 18 batters, struck out 16. A perfect game. He was 12 years old. They said, turns out he was two years older than that. That's a big two years. Also turns out his name wasn't Danny Almonte. That was the name of his 12-year-old cousin.

And I guess some racist people looking at it were like, Like, yeah, that's you, right? They were looking at the ID or something? It's a good grift. Do 12-year-olds have IDs? Probably not. They have passports. They do have passports.

Well, anyway. Yeah, he was here, though, so I don't know. That's interesting. You know what's funny, though, is that I feel like right now there are 14-year-olds that if you saw them, like, peak 14-year-old arms, you'd be like, that kid is not 14. Because they can throw 100 miles an hour now. Yeah. With movement.

And you're like, that doesn't. It doesn't compute. All right. On this day, August 18th in Dumb Zone history. In 2021, we had Jackie the Joke Man on. That was the first time? That was the first time. Oh, wow.

From the Howard Stern show, do you know who Jackie the Joke Man is? Do you know who Howard Stern is? Yeah. Do you know any other members of his crew or his universe? No. Beetlejuice. Yeah, I was going to say Beetlejuice, but I wouldn't. He was a member of his crew.

Well, he's kind of on the show, off and on as a bit guy. No? No, Jackie was... No, Jackie was on the show. I'm talking about Beetlejuice. Oh, yeah, okay. I don't know about that. I thought maybe he'd know Beetlejuice.

Yeah, but Jackie got ousted from the show probably 20 years ago. Yeah. Boos. I think it was a big factor there. And then he just kept texting me after I booked him, just sending me jokes of the day and recordings. And then we had him on with Jay Leno. which was insane.

Henry, do you know... Oh, Jay Leno was kind of upset by that, I think, because we kind of sprung that on him. Henry, do you know how many potatoes it takes to kill an Irishman? No. None. There's a famine. Do you know about that?

Yeah. What's next? Maybe his humor didn't land. And then I haven't heard this yet, but we played this on the show in 2021. In addition of, is it racist? Okay. This from Jack Morris.

He's talking about Shohay Otani. Got him. There it was. Good call, Jack. Perfect pitch. Perfect location. Great result. Now what do you do with Shohay Otani?

Be very better careful. You walk him. Okay. Let's hear that again. Be very better careful. That's more bugs, Bonnie, than... Yeah, but it's also exactly what Tom Greve was doing that one time when Jim Knox was out there chopping boards.

Oh, Jim Knox crazy. That's... I don't know. I don't know how I feel about it. I don't think it's racist, but I definitely think it's out of touch. He did... I think they made him. apologize and he said he was doing an Elmer Fudd but yeah I don't know

man yeah yeah be very better careful objectively the information was correct he take it easy up there elsewhere so that's good yeah good

other birthdays today include former cowboy David Irving is 32 that seems exceptionally young Plants over pills, bro. Was he ever in... Ben Abbott's commercials? Yes.

Okay. He was before Dorian Finney Smith. Because he was like pretty good. Dude, he was... If he would have been able to keep that pace of pressure, maybe not sacks, but pressure, he would have... He'd be in the league still? Yeah. A few million a year or whatever.

Bounce around rotation pass rusher. Yeah. Well, he said a bunch of crazy stuff. We should try to get him. Ben Abbott. no David Irving I would absolutely talk to Ben Abbott if he brings his non-lawyer

They can say to him He just keeps getting it sent to him over and over and over. Evan Gattis is 39. Astro? Yep. No batting gloves ever for Evan. Is he from... That's kick ass.

Bishop Lynch. Bishop Lynch, okay. Is he like the only guy? I remember when I was growing up, it was George Brett. That's the one I knew. Never wore batting gloves. And that's why I went and just tore my hands up. Because I'm like, you know what?

I got to do that, just like George Brett. I think as far as I got on that front, Dan was catching a brick from about three feet in the air because I had heard Jerry Rice did it off two-story buildings. I'm like, ah, that seems like a lot. Why don't we start with this table? Oh, I got that down. Even that was hard.

It's a brick. Yeah, of course it's hard. Like, why? Cry. What is it about the soft? Your hands are all. Yeah, you're supposed to be able to cradle to a point where it doesn't matter how rough what you're catching.

as you're cratoing, but... All right, I got a trio of real old birthdays here. Let's see if Henry knows who any of these are. Henry first, and then we go to Blake. Okay? Roman Polanski, 92. Oh, my God. I know I've heard it, but I don't know. It's actually probably better.

I don't know. Noted filmmaker, who has been not allowed or avoiding returning to the United States for a litany of sex crime charges for small children. I believe he's one of the men who went to Cambodia to get weird and stayed. But he's like one of the greatest filmmakers. I mean, they say ever. It probably all sucked.

We continue the old's Robert Redford, 89. Henry's 21. What about you? An actor? Isn't he an actor, is your question. Yes. He is an actor. He's one of problems.

probably the five most known... How about the natural? Actors of our time. You ever watch The Natural? Big baseball fan? No, I've seen... Boy, you asking him like you're his grandpa ain't going to help. You ever watch The Natural?

No, I've seen Eastbound and Down. That was good. Robert Redford had some great movies. Well, if they didn't get those two who are both well-known culturally as well, they're not going to know Martin Mull is 82. I won't even deal with that one. Should I know that one?

Give me a hint. He's an old comedian, but he was on Roseanne for a while. You probably know him from there. Okay. You look up Martin Mall. Dennis Leary is 68. I don't know, man. There was a time where I thought he ruled.

I don't know if you ever had a Dennis Miller time, but I just thought. Not Miller. What did you say? Leary. Oh, that's your guy. Yeah, okay. I thought you said Dennis Miller. Does he think I didn't have a time where I thought, like, now that Dennis Leary rules?

Master Killa. 56. from the Wu-Tang Club he's like member nine though right I don't know Christian Slater is 56 I'm pretty great Mr. Robit

All right, so what's our, Henry? We're trying to get younger and hipper in the birthdays. This is not going to be younger and hipper, sadly, but it is a good one, okay? Because Willie Collis-Stine would have been mine. but a little gay still gay Bob Harper from the biggest loser he was the personal trainer

He had like used the images of their kids. kid in his documentary, which she expressly told him not to do, and then he just did it, because

Ryan Reynolds. The guy sucks, right? We all know that. Ryan Reynolds sucks? I didn't know that. Don't you like, this guy's cool? A little Deadpool? I mean, I've never seen it, but that's, I go back to, like, the two guys a girl in a pizza

place days of, like, I can't handle this guy. I guess that's his bit, right? Deadpool's good. Super arrogant, like, mean to people, but, like, kind of doing it, smartily. Born on the Stay Now Dead Malcolm Jamal Warner He died like a couple weeks ago Yeah

I wonder if he ever had any of the Babacu sauce Was he trying to save his wife From drowning? Something like that? I don't know my wife was telling me And I was just blanking out Was that him?

He was talking? Yeah But I think he tried to save someone I knew he had a death And I knew he died I didn't know those were the same Yeah That's

You thought it was fentanyl? No, I didn't think it was fentanyl, but yeah, you're right. And she made it? Did she? Would you feel guilty about that? Yes. Your whole life? Like, God damn, he died saving me.

Like, now I'm just sitting here doing nothing. Right. Like, I should be doing something important. Like, why'd he save me just so I could not... And then you couldn't... You could never watch porn again. Slow down. Buddy's watching me do this.

This is how I'm choosing to spend my... Oh, he's... Yeah. Ladies probably don't watch a lot of porn. In general. I don't know about... She's going to have sex again. It depends on if you're talking about compared to you.

Or not compared to you, but compared to us. Yeah. No, I thought... I can't get over that barbecue sauce scene that we had played for us recently. You know what was sad in California? is that I'm here surrounded. It would kind of be like if you told me I shouldn't eat fish when I'm in California.

But I know I have access to all the porn I ever need. But I can't do it when I'm in the house with you guys. I respect that. Thank you. So I don't know if you guys are up there hammering away, but I'm not. No, I didn't desecrate my area. Even though I had my kind of own little place, I was like, you know what, I just can't with the guys in the house.

Thank you. Somehow they'll know. And then they'll probably want to, want a piece of me. Because this is so hot what I'm doing right now. I'm crying. Apologizing to God. I was telling T.C. that story last night. If you want to know how messed up, like, for me it was growing up in the church.

I was telling T.C. last night. Like, when I was a kid, you used a J.O., you would, like, apologize to God. After? After. Because I'm not there. You'd be like, well, that's a thing. is I was like, yeah, I mean, you know, you knew he was watching. They would tell he was watching and this is a sin.

And as I was putting it together, I was like, yeah, but him watching didn't stop me from doing it. Right. It was still like, we're going to go through with this and just apologize to the big man afterward. Very weird. Not enough to make you stop, though. Also born on this day now dead, Rosalind Carter. She was the smallest first lady in history of... Okay.

becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. For scrubbing tight for my name if you want to watch more of my video. If you can't stop anybody, then the quarterback's always having to throw the ball, and then that doesn't look so good. If you can't run the ball, then you've got to throw it. If you can't protect, quarterback's getting hit, balls on the ground, you know. I mean, all those things. And so the quarterback is the one position that everybody feels that leaves the stadium or watch the game. They have a definitive opinion as to whether or not that guy played well and it's all based on stats and based on stats and based on stats and it's all based on stats and based on stats and based on stats and throw the ball and then that based on stats and

balls on the ground balls on the ground throw the ball and that based on stats and balls on the ground balls on the ground everybody feels that balls on the ground that balls on the ground that balls on the ground that everybody feels that balls on the ground that balls on the ground that balls on the ground that all i know is the ball was incomplete was incomplete was incomplete was incomplete was incomplete and it must been a bad for him ball was incomplete ball was incomplete the the balls i i feel that the ball was in the ball was incomplete balls on the ground so i i feel that the the ball was in a ball was incomplete balls on the the ball's on the ground the ball's on the ground the ball was incomplete the ball's on the quarterback's ball's getting hit
