Happy Business Wednesday to those who celebrate, we do not celebrate this week. We are working because somebody has asked for Friday off. I don't know, but I have a guess. And I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. Clayton is here. intern Henry is a rounding third and heading for home.

He's his final week. Interning with the Dumb Zone before he goes back to Missouri, starts crushing it. For sure. Driving ladies to Lulu? I don't know, man. That didn't feel good either. I like it. I liked it.

I liked it as a follow-up. Lift me up. A big program yesterday. We did have, we've had some controversy with the Brandon Aubrey theme song, Contest, brought to you by Community Mechanical. Had someone hit me up, they resubmitted their song with one lyric removed. Like, oh, you guys mentioned this lyric. Like, I don't know what to do now.

Like, it's cool that that meant it wasn't AI. But I don't know what to do. Then I had another just full new entry this morning. Like, hey, I heard that yesterday. I don't know, we've been plugging it for a month. This place has no rules, no laws. we reap what we sewed. It's fine. That's right. That's like I'm looking at our calendar. I'm like, oh, yeah, it's off Friday.

Okay. I just, people think. I forgot to send the text about, hey, can you guys take it easy? And maybe mention Dan wanted off too. I literally think I wrote it and was like, I'll send it in the morning. Did I want off too? I can't remember. I did in the past. Anyway, the point is. I always won off. It's true. We can say that Cowboys play Friday night. I need the day off.

Oh, is it you? I actually didn't know that. Oh, I thought it was him because he was going like the lake. I knew, I was going to be off on Friday. But I, you know, we all collectively, you know, you see somebody else. But when he said, I was like, I was not good idea. Yeah, it's reservoir dogs. People are thinking like, oh, I can do what I want.

I can't. Right. This is worse than working for the man. It's, I just walk in and these guys just tell me what to do. They point me in a direction and I just do it because that's what I do. I don't question authority. Hey, we have Sid-Eye today.

We have multiple Sid-I, sit-in. I don't know what the plural for sit-in-eye. Sit-in-eye. Sits-I. Sits-in. Yeah. We have Michael Martin. Sid's in.

Are we allowed to mention your name? Should I ask him before? He's giving you the cut sign. Yeah, he seems to be, like, cool to be not on the mic and stuff. He's like, I'm scared of Reddit. He's got something to hide. He might have something to hide, but that makes him fit in. He approached me and said he had some soccer tips for me, which, as I've learned over the past couple of days, soccer tips, they kind of come in all shapes and sizes.

What do you mean? It doesn't seem like just out of the box like a soccer guy to me. He seems like a rugby guy or a Aussie rules football or something. Guard. Pulling guard. Guard. He's an agile guard. What do you think of when you hear someone say?

They guard like that, Blake. What does that mean? Mani Pachial. Oh. Watching men guard. Running. It's ball. Anyway, people are giving you soccer tips for your coaching career.

Yeah. Your one practice into your coaching career. Right. I do have it easier, man. The game has changed on advice. I think advice is getting better everywhere. That's weird. On proclamation.

Or people are just feeling more. emboldened to like hey people want to hear from me like the social media era like i i think my voice needs to be heard here now jake should hear what i have to say about this although as a uh when i was as a as a coach i loved advice sure because i have no idea what i'm doing uh also on the couch here in our game day men's health studios in downtown dallas that's where we're broadcasting from they still doing the 10% off TRT for life? Or have they stopped that because you're doing too

well? I guess possibly if you're hearing this and you're dead, then they've stopped the 10% off for life for you. Yeah. But excluding you, yes, game day men's health com. They have 12 locations here in DFW and it's 10% off TRT for life.

And speaking of the youth soccer thing, that's a challenge for my old bones and the the testosterone replacement therapy, the hormone therapy, it helps quite a bit. So if you're curious about it, just go into one of those locations and check it out, Gameda men's health.com, Dan. So also sitting on the couch, the casting couch here in the Game Day Men's Health Studio.

There's got to be other alliterations we could try, too. I'm willing to hear. Yeah, yeah. I'm ready for, see, he's on command. Brainstorming meeting. it is an old friend well I guess two old friends because we've met Wes before as well

but it's Wes and Mariola from BVB Dallas BVB Dallas BVB Dallas that we call it this is the charitable organization that helps things that they need help

what is the charity about Alzheimer's research okay Correct. See? That's correct. That's kind of like I might need it. Yes.

Hurry up. Get this done. We are producing a case study and testimonial for your funding on a daily basis. So we'll tell you later, I guess, how to get involved in it. You want to just throw a website out or something real quick? And then we'll talk. BVB Dallas.org is probably a good place. Okay.

Well, Wes looked like I just asked him to recite. No, but the game is this coming weekend. It's this Saturday. August 23rd. It's a Bishop Lynch. Bishop Lynch High School 7 o'clock kick. And I was telling them off the air, I saw one of the most competitive football games

I've ever seen on my life there, Flag Football. They go hard. It's fun. Was it a better story off the air? What were you just saying? I'm just saying it's a fun product to go see. Like if we're looking for this. Oh, you're talking about them?

Yes. Okay, I just thought we saw some other random game. Were you guys confused or no? All right. Okay. Like you were just, hey, I was once at Bishop Lynch High School and I saw a game. No, I was at their game. All right.

And it's a sort of thing. I think Blake, like Brooks, would like this sort of thing, take a kid. But Blake would certainly downplay it. Well, Brooks's kid would already be like, you know, and ladies. Girls can't play football. Right. Yeah. In his household.

BVB going with tackling Alzheimer's, which I feel like is better than intercepting it. Yes. Yeah, but it's flag football. So can you say pulling the? The flag off of Alzheimer's flags. Make those players remember that they have flags. But it is better than intercepting. But yeah.

We'll keep brainstorming. Tackle. Tackles better. Yeah, you want to put Alzheimer's down. So anyway, on today's program, we have viewer mail. We have some sport. What do we have in sports today? Should we have a sponsor for sports today?

We can wait just a minute or two. I'll get to you in a second on that one. I have now completed all eight episodes of the Netflix Jerry documentary. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I highly recommend it if you're a cowboy fan who's from here. If your quest is to learn anything new. So I guess while we were at camp, it was like he has cancer, Jerry Jones had had cancer at one point

We'd sort of heard that Is that in the documentary? Yeah Oh, okay, is that why? Yeah. It was released that day, okay. Yeah. A number of the little small news nuggets

that you've seen resurface over the past couple of weeks have been because of this documentary and people getting advanced screenings of it. Jimmy stuff, Jerry stuff. I mean, if you just want to get kind of a nostalgia tingles, you could probably pick two episodes and be fine I don't know that you need eight episodes for that

because they treat every single episode and every single twist in turn like it's a book of the Bible or a religious text except now it's a plot you know it looks like a Netflix treatment of that and yeah you don't really learn anything though

there's no obviously right there's no rich Dow Ripple for example who left the organization under, you know, unflattering terms, I would say. And we're not really sure, or we can be sure, probably the degree to which he could be involved in something like this is not at all. But there's a number of people who are around. So when they sort of brush up against the White House and some of the other things that were, you know, negative and scandalous, I could imagine if you're just a football fan who's, I'm 40. so I was seven when they started winning Super Bowls. If you're someone who's my age, you didn't grow up around here,

it's possible you didn't know that they were like, you know, running trains as a team over at the White House, like on. Sorry, I mean, that's the terminology. I bet like Henry doesn't know. There's no way Henry doesn't know about the White House if he grew up here, no? You know about the White House? Also, he may, I don't want to put him on the spot and make him. Well, no, but you know,

about the Cowboys White House? The Cowboys White House. Yeah, what is it? No. Yeah. So that's great. So what it is, it is a, it is a, so when the Cowboys were winning Super Bowls in the 90s, they were tagging chicks, two at a time, right? Mike, is this news to you, Michael? I'm aware of it, but I don't know much. Okay, this is. I know it was their party house.

Were they, so yes, it was kind of like a party house. They, and they were real famous, so it was tough to go out. You would get, if I'm going to tag two chicks at the same time, but I am seen, somebody could inform my wife or like the paper or like this will get public. So what they did was they, they didn't buy it, right? But they leased the house in Valley Ranch, which was in the same neighborhood where their practice facility was. so they could almost walking distance to it. They could go to this house, take the ladies,

and do their thing, maybe get a little cocaine in there, right? Not a little, yeah. But it was a party house where they would just have chicks and drugs, and then they would go to practice. Yeah. And they would, you know, after practice, they probably would just go here after practice. I doubt before, but who knows?

but that was called the Cowboys White House and it had whatever six bedrooms and pick your bedroom Michael Irvin was kind of the ringleader there Oh, not kind of And I believe he goes by the president of the White House The entire documentary That feels kind of like the Great Wall of Dallas to me

I've heard Because I've never heard that Associated with the White House a lot And it's cool if he wants to be I love informing somebody about this It's an amazing story Do you think there were ever Yeah is the classic case

of trying to do the wrong thing the right way that's the quote i was waiting on right that's what did do that in the documentary uh you know what he actually i don't know that he did it in this one because when jerry calls him in yes he said jerry jerry i was i tried to do the wrong thing the right way which is a good yeah yeah which is great because yes i i know this is wrong but you know the right way to do it is to keep it under it's like if you're gonna you know have a fall guy if you're going to be doing coke and drugs or whatever uh make sure you have a buddy it. You don't go to buy the drugs. Like, that's the right way to buy your drugs if you're going to buy the drugs. And I'm positive that there are people who can fill in some of these gaps

for me because I'm in a weird position where I sort of remember. I definitely remember being seven years old. I remember my parents going to Super Bowl watch parties and the images on TV, but also, like, I wasn't following the news. So there's some things that I'm not exactly sure what they're skipping. Like, for example, when Irvin's trial happened, so at that point there are a couple years into winning um and the the way that the documentary works is that they're dual timelining you from like when jerry first bought the team and that happening and like the peak of success like 92 93 94 so as success is incrementally getting better and better they're also showing like the climb more and more so it's like dual timelines happening at the same

time. What do you mean the client? So they're showing early struggles? So they'll show like with their children, children, you know, like at the beginning. And then when they skip ahead, it's like the start of the Cowboys. And then they'll go back in the timeline. It'll be like Jerry in college. Oh. And then they'll go back and it'll be a little bit further. It's a Jerry Jones documentary. 90%. And I, you know, he didn't produce his names not on it. I was told. Well, it's called the Gambler. Right. So it's about Jerry. It's not about the Cowboys. It's about Jerry Jones. Um, yeah, but the title is what? America's team? America's team?

I don't know. The gambler and his Cowboys. But yes, it's about Jerry. Yeah, it's more about Jerry than say, like, to reference, there is a show called America's Team or America's Game, and it'll be just about a season of the Super Bowl. Or it's not about the Super Bowl season. The Cowboys history.

It's not about the 60s and the, what made them, yeah. And so it's more of it. And it's not even about, from what I understand, about, the Cowboys during Jerry's whole tenure, right? Do they not really cover the Romo era? Dude, it flies by. You're going to think you accidentally set on your remote because they have, you know, seven hours and 45 minutes of content.

The last 40 minutes is the last episode, clearly the shortest one. And I don't know, we compress, like, Romo in Seattle with the hold into, there's no, like, T.O. There's no Dez. No, no, no. When we get to, like, episode... That's a major part of the Jerry story. Episode seven ends with Emmett breaking the record, if I recall correctly.

And how many episodes are they? I'm leaving eight. So there's no, this is a peak era, the climb, that sort of thing. Do I have something wrong? Oh, you guys have somebody was shaking their head over there. I feel like that's not really... There's no parcels at all. Good question.

No, I mean, they may have... That's a major part of the Jerry's story. You know, they may have shown him once. Because they definitely showed the Seattle game, but there was a... no stop down. He did not appear. It is Jerry and Jimmy and then bearing the hatchet of their

relationship, right? That's kind of it to, we knew that's what it was going to be based on the way that it was set up on Fox. Remember when Jerry was getting into the Ring of Honor, but I wonder if they had won the Super Bowl in 2023, which was their goal,

obviously they're always their goal, or at least had a nice higher than scing the bed like one of the worst loss in your ownership history, I would think. I'm sure he said this a lot, but he called it the worst in the documentary in the final episode.

He's in tears after the Green Bay. Jordan Love, folks. Who could stop Jordan Love, is the question. No one has figured that out in the NFL. Our embarrassments have been many. But I wonder if they would have highlighted that stuff more had they reached the, like, look, here's then how they climbed up again and won it all.

but since it just is put in there with the muck of the last 30 years or whatever. Right. Like why go through all of the muck if it all just leads to the same play? Like if it led to something big, you would have to say, well, Jerry, this is how he did it. He hired his guy. He hired this guy. He did this. But they're just ignoring that stuff.

I halfway wonder if they had won something if it hadn't have turned into two seasons or, more i mean they've got the cheerleader show so something's obviously you know in play here i know that it's not all the same production company i don't think but what would have happened if they had made the super bowl or hell go nuts we're imagining we're allowed uh they win a super bowl that year they can't have seven episodes of what they had telling the 90s really the 80s and 90s story and then cram a super bowl run into the eighth episode right the whole shape of the i have no idea what they do yeah I don't know who this is for, but I guess I just found out that there are people who don't know some of these things.

And one of the things I... They were 30 years ago, dude, these stories. I know, but... You got to remember, it does feel like everybody knows, but the people you hang around with are really into the cowboy. Like, the people, here's one takeaway for you. Just what everyone has always said it is between Jerry and Jimmy and Jerry, it's just exactly that. And Jerry will just say, yeah, it's that. I can't give people credit.

I have a hard time getting along with people, and I like to make it about me. He's like, I like that. Oh. Yeah. He's basically said as much. That is disarmed? That is force field. Like, oh, okay, I guess I can't.

No, I mean, maybe I'm overstating it, but he says I like the pain, and I don't want to do it. You know, someone else, it's just reframing all the different ways he said it, maybe more forcefully, but he just, he says it right there. There's a couple of parts where I'm uncertain of the information. What do you remember about Michael Irvin's trials in that era? Boy, there was one with like Eric Williams. The Eric Williams one is when he was accused by a woman. Eric Williams and Michael Irvin, like the week of the Carolina playoff game. Of like raping her.

Correct. Like at gunpoint, I think she did jail time maybe eventually. For just false. Yeah. Totally false story. But in this, in the narrative in the show, they kind of like mash up two court cases because if you recall the other one is from the hotel. Is that the one where he has a mink coat and Troy Aikman came to the trial?

This is what I spent all morning trying to figure out and I think I got it. But, you know, they highlight that Troy came to court for Irvin. And, you know, we've heard, have you guys heard that story. Yeah, is that the cocaine one? That's the thing is that it's hard to tell, right? because they're all within about 18 months there. My understanding is that Troy showed up at the trial to support Michael when he was being falsely accused of something, right? And that, like I said, that woman actually did face consequences for that.

The other trial was when the owners of that hotel that Michael Irvin and whoever else were in and those women were in and they called the cops to and they came in and they had been having the like basically orgies, you know, at the hotel, there was cocaine. They got set up by the cops. So you're saying that's not the one that Troy went to? I don't think so. Because I feel like that is the one that Troy went. It's possible, but... Troy went to the cocaine one. Yeah, I thought the Michael Irvin, Eric Williams one,

kind of just kind of actually just happened pretty quick. It wasn't like a big spectacle. Yeah, the drug charges were definitely the fur coat. But I just couldn't figure out which one Troy was at, or which one Troy was where he was present. but it was the Eric Williams one was So they didn't make that clear No not to I didn't think they did

And I looked up a couple of pictures there But yeah he took a plea deal Do you know how this happened Blake So Michael Irvin is in court And the news is very involved in investigating I guess his nightlife And he's like on candid camera Like, there's people investigating him purchasing crack cocaine, and he's hanging out with women, and he's just doing the wrong thing the right way.

And he's hanging out in hotels. That's the wrong thing the wrong way. This is what resulted in the White House. I guess probably sometimes they weren't committed to the White House, and then you step out of pocket, you get sacked. Oh, okay. Timeline's sketchy. So while they had the White House in operation, but he's still going to a hotel on the side with two. It looks like it. Yeah. And they were, you know, they were women that he says that when he ended up facing the justice system for it, the DA was like, you're corrupting these young white women with your, you know, like streetways. And I'm going to bury your ass. Actually, he said fillet your ass for this. So that's what Irvin said. And honestly, I buy it based on it was a DA in Dallas in 1995 who probably was frankly tired of the Cowboys parading around.

NDAs and you know the ability but they don't really get that much into that they do have a guy who's like kind of mentioned as the fixer but that's pretty lightly brushed upon he says he walked in on an orgy you know he's laughing about it he's just some guy he's getting to hang out he's it's basically it just seriously looks like any one of us Blake Wes and they were there to deliver liquor at the white house um but yeah i guess i i have a hard time judging what's new to me or what's uh enlightening if nothing else it seems to me that the story is supposed to be about jerry and jimmy and learning lessons and like the lessons he learned from after jimmy uh but it doesn't really seem like

they learned anything they kind of just kept doubling down and getting weaker and weaker coaches so i don't know what to tell you about that but the lesson he learned is keep doing it my way because look at what we're worth yeah and that's like uh that's explicit in here several times i can't recall blake did we ever talk about the the podcast jerry uh was profiled on called founders i don't think so it's for business founders they call that founders are what they call people who start businesses we needed a new word for that we can get on there we had to found that word we should yeah oh no we're good we're spilled water um so jerry there's a book about jerry and there's a couple of other resources that this guy did this podcast called Founders.

And, like, for example, did you know what Jerry's dad did growing up primarily? Whitland. He would whittle on the French. So he owned a grocery store. Okay. And in this grocery store, instead of just selling groceries, they always had, like, a show. They would do a radio show at the grocery store. and his dad would get on there and host a radio show and a.m., I guess, a radio show, have bands play,

have, like, essentially comedians come there and announce sales. And Jerry and his family lived there above the shop, the grocery store. And so he's just, you know, he's romanticizing it, but he's like, I grew up above commerce. And we were trying to pitch this all the time. That's what it was about. It was about how do we sell it? How do we make it big? make it big.

He literally wrote his thesis at Arkansas on the role of marketing in football because that's what he'd been thinking about since he lived in this grocery store. So, I don't know. Another guy living his life off of his thesis that he wrote in college. That's right.

If anybody was going to watch this. Jake wrote a thesis in college. I wonder if Jerry's thinking, man, I learned from this decision. in my mind what if they could have just kept hiring hard asses over and over and over instead of just Right usually when you when you flip from hard ass to players coach to hard ass to players coach It's because things are not going well and I need something that's a change

Yeah So things are going very very well and he hires players coach Barry Switzer Then things go real south he hires now he gets into the era of of I'm going to hire a guy I can absolutely control that's really not on other radars for being head coach, Chan Galey. He continued that with Dave Campo, and now things are going south.

All right, let's get hard ass. Yeah, and that's the last hard. So remember the hard ass was for the stadium. It was Parcells, yeah. Right. For the stadium and for complacency or the 5 and 11 every year. year. Like, he was cool if you're in the mix.

If I get Garrett, that's good enough because we can go nine wins. Might go 12 wins sometimes, you know, like usually not too bad, but always in the mix. That last, he would say that last week of the season, they're playing for the playoffs. That's like being in the playoffs, basically, as long as you're on the bottom. It kind of is in my mind. Yeah, that was in his mind, too. That's a playoff game. If you win, you keep going.

If you don't, and then they wouldn't. And then Romo would say it wasn't the worst day of my life because I got a big screen TV. You know, there's a couple of things in there about that they just flat out are disagreeing on. It's just older humans saying that's not what happened. Jerry and Jimmy? Is what happened. Wait, hold on. I want to get to that in a second.

But first, a quick hit on Flooring Direct DFW because they have a bit right now, 36 months, zero interest. financing, nothing down. It is a back-to-school special, so the offer won't last. You can get a free visit so they will come out to your house. They have a Dallas showroom. They're local, but they're like, you don't got to go to the showroom. We will come out to your house. They'll bring samples, a sample viewing appointment.

Flooring direct DFW.com slash DZ, special website, just for you. Yeah, it seems like a significant amount of our commerce is related to reducing the beating for you and kind of letting somebody else handle it. And so you don't have to go walk around a flooring store anymore. I actually have like nightmares of that as a child. They will come to you if that's your thing. Flooring direct, dfw.com slash dZ. Meet or beat any competitors offer. The offer again here is 36 month zero interest financing, nothing down. Don't wait. Don't wait, Dan. Don't wait. Flooring direct dfw.com slash DZ. I already made my phone. It's just some floors. Don't fall through.

That'd be horrible. Right. You go out, fall to them to China? The floor direct through. Don't want it. Or magma? Is that what's below the... Dude, I love saying magma when I was a kid.

That's a great one. Yeah, like lava below the... You don't want magma anywhere in you. That's what you would have if you didn't have flooring direct DFTW.com slash DZ. Yeah, floor is magma. So I heard Machota talking about this. And he had a good point on, like, The difference between this documentary and the Michael Jordan The Last Dance,

because the similarity is that it's signed off on by the guy who it's about. And kind of like the Billy Joel documentary I just recently watched. Good. Very good. And the big HBO book that came out about five years ago or so kind of explained the theory behind these new wave documentaries so this is even before the last dance came out but it was

if you want to have a hundred hours of Billy Joel interview time to sift through because that's going to be gold that's going to all the Billy Joel fans want to hear what Billy Joel has to say about his life or whoever yeah but then you're going to have to give them

a little bit of editorial say so you're going to have to try and talk to him about you know, you can't leave this divorce out. I mean, this is something that was really, you know, you're going to have to do some stuff. Did he do some roughhousin? Yeah, so with the Jerry thing. Billy Joel did?

Huh? Did Billy Joel do some, what's his backstory? I don't think he had any physical abuse, but I just watched the Billy Joel documentary. It certainly wasn't going to say it. He was claiming that he never had a DUI, but he had an extreme drinking problem. That's why Christy Brinkley left him.

Are those two? And they were showing footage of his accidents that he got into when he was drunk. And he wrecked his motorcycle, wrecked a couple of cars, but he pointed out he never got a DUI. Okay, technically, maybe you didn't. I mean, I hope you've at least given me credit for the idea that that's really just a roll of the dice, obviously. You've made the decision plenty of times. Yeah, that's why I think that's silly to put that in the documentary. clearly you had a massive drinking problem

but it was pretty much downplayed because it was the Billy Joel document but you get a hundred hours of Billy Joel you get him talking about how did you come up with the idea for Piano Man you know where were you when you did like it's a great documentary but you're not really getting the full thing

what is the whole thing that's the thing about the Jordan documentary the last dance that's the thing about Jerry too you're not going to get the stripper in Vegas who the picture you're not going to get a lot of the Jerry Jones stuff, huh?

Yeah, it was in Vegas, right? The lady was from Ardmore, Oklahoma. I remember that. I should remember I'm talking to Kempstead in here. Do you guys remember that Blake? You should dive down that rabbit old Frank, something or other. Somebody in the chat will have it.

But the difference between the Jordan documentary is that Michael Jordan, this is stolen from Machota's thought. Cowboys One Star Podcast. Michael Jordan is kind of reclusive. When's the last time you saw Michael Jordan doing a half-hour sit-down? Is Michael Jordan on two radio interviews a week for the past 20 years? No.

Jerry Jones. So Jerry Joan, the main players, or at least what he said, you can confirm or deny this. He said the main players in this documentary are like Troy and Emmett and Michael Irvin and Jerry Jones. Those are all people who are way in the public eye who have told story after story Michael Jordan probably has a story from that last season of the last dance

that he hasn't told you yet. Here he is now talking about it. Oh my God, I never knew that about Michael Jordan. I feel like all the 90s stories and this probably doesn't relate to Henry. Henry hasn't heard all these stories. 30-year-old guy, how old are you know, you haven't heard all these stories.

If you've been working in Dallas Media for the last 30 years like you and me. That's the thing. I don't know if you're going to, media or just living here, period, of, like, cowboy. And you're really a huge cowboy fan. Right. I don't know. So my neighbor, John, good cowboy fan, arm's length cowboy fan, I'd say.

I don't think he knows the depth chart like you do, you know, like, I'll bet he would be fascinated by this. Present day, he's not going to know, you know, the starters or whatever, but I wonder if this stuff from that time, where this all stands. And it's still probably fun to watch again. It is fun to watch again unless you let it frustrate you, which you kind of can because I don't, like, I wouldn't recommend Blake to watch this because it's just going to force him further away from the relationship. I mean, I'm telling you, there's a guy in charge who is straight up looking at the camera being like, this is how it has to be, and I know it's harder because I say it has to be this way. There's nothing you can do about it. He's really taunting you if you want to look at it a certain way at certain points of this piece. I mean, I like Jerry. I'm interested in a story, but I just have such Cowboys fatigue. I know. There you go.

Maybe if they had some playoff success, I'd be more into it. But I just don't want to know anything more about them than I already know now. That's the thing. It's just kind of talked out. The 90s. The good old days. The good old days. Hey, like, for example, if I had told you that Jerry Jones in the 90s met Jimmy Hoffa,

provided you knew who Jimmy Hoffa was. Wouldn't you have probably shaded towards 50% over yes? Yeah, I think I've kind of heard that. Yeah, most of this stuff you'd kind of heard. You know, I could rapid fire that for Blake. But also, that's not that interesting, right? No, but it's, you know, fish, the fishing, what's the good word? Is it fish tail?

I want to make sure people know what I'm talking about. But Jerry's, it has added to this story over the years for sure. But now... Oh, the, yeah. Yeah, now it's, you know, he's going to be... by the chargers, the financing was going to come from the Teamsters, and the Teamsters are affiliated with Hoffa. So the legend grows, but I don't know that there's anything that surprising on that front.

Would have been interesting if it wasn't the Cowboys. What do you mean? It just feels like it really fits the Cowboys. Obviously, you can come in and do anything, you can do your thing with any team. Like, when I grew up, the Patriots were a long-time laughing stock of the NFL, and you could have never imagined that they would have become the team that they'd become. But like if Jerry did buy the Chargers and not, George Steinbrenner tried to buy the Cleveland Indians in the 70s

and was rebuffed for one reason or another. And I always thought, like, how would that have been? You know? Yeah, you don't know, like which input is making this work for which thing. But it feels like George Steinbrenner was the Yankees. you know, that feels so New York. Like Donald Trump is New York and blustery and big, like, what if he can't, he was a businessman from Iowa? That wouldn't fit, you know, like, like, what if Jerry, what, like, it just feels like Jerry belonged with the cowboys.

No, it was all perfect. The biggest brand there is, and he's a brand guy. He's the branding guy. He's the marketing guy. He's the guy that wrote a thesis about marketing in college, which. I'm just learning. So I didn't know that. I'm going to watch the whole thing, but not eight hours in three days like you did.

Well, I mean, a lot of it, again, it's a lot of things that you've heard before. If you did scissors, you've heard of Michael. So they put that in there, huh? Yeah, listen. Anything that you've heard before is probably is in there, right? But if there's things that you know that there was a lot going on in the city of Dallas. I mean, they kind of like, they do a montage at one point where they're like, you know, arrest for fake ID, marijuana, cocaine, but they don't stop.

These are a lot of cases, and they just kind of fly by it. But it was quite a bit of a thing, and they don't go into what happened with any of those stories. Other than again, one that I was curious about was when Michael Irvin was in court for the cocaine thing. He had a witness on the stand that was like a girl he used to hook up with, and she was in the hotel whenever this whole thing went down. Do you know this story? You seemed, you had the catchphrase down there. Yeah, I don't remember the specifics here. So the heavy implication is that her testimony was either changed or quieted or, I can't recall the specific mechanism by which it felt like she was involved in kind of lightning the assault on Michael Irvin criminally.

She had an ex-boyfriend. He claimed he was her modern law, what is it, common law wife. This girl that Michael Irvin used to hook up with, she has this boyfriend. Michael Irvin, reportedly, while he's hooking up with this girl, starts like taunting the boyfriend. Not that hard to imagine? Right. I was just thinking it. Nice 90s piece, too.

Yeah. They don't make them like this anymore. More your speed. And that guy, according to the narrative in the documentary, is not real thrilled with being taunted by the playmaker. And that is when at trial, there is a bomb threat and reports that there is a death threat on Michael Irvin's head. And the death threat, at least after a few weeks of the process playing out, is accused.

and I guess the guy's, he's found guilty for plotting to kill Michael Irvin and goes away for six years. I couldn't find an update on where the guy is now. Yeah, that's great. But he's just gone. And I'm like, okay, we moved over. They show a photo.

I'm like, we moved through that pretty quick. And, you know, I know that it wasn't Mike who said it, but the fall guy thing is certainly from the coaching tree of, you know, Miami and whatnot. Warren Sapp. at once I Miami, right? Yeah.

It's not that hard to imagine. I'm not making accusations here. It's just they skip over some parts who are like, wait, that, whoa, whoa, what? Not right there. You're saying that could have been a fall guy. Possibly.

The guy that ended up going away. They present it with enough open-ended questions that you'd like to know. And I'm sure somebody out there who covered it in real time does, though. More questions and answers

in this one, and it's super cowboy like ooh it's spaghetti western I mean it's cool but it's just it's how much more so what was the

music you've heard a lot of times that is cool for things that you've heard about a lot of times that are cool but both you know so what you said first seven episodes are all 90s Cowboys basically

what is eight then then inducting inducting Jimmy into the Ring of Honor Jerry Hall of Fame No They don't highlight Jerry going into the Hall of Fame No

That would seem to be like a very big thing For this documentary about Jerry No there's nothing no No it's all episode A Like he went in the NFL Hall of Fame Episode A last is the shortest episode They quickly Dave Campos I don't know that he ever appears on camera

Not only like in a sit down But in file footage God bless him You're saying just in the background being a Not anywhere, short shorts. Wade? No, not at all. Garrett?

I think there may be one Garrett somewhere. It's sketchy if so. Yeah, there is a brief bit of Romo. But again, it's all in the last episode. So however long they set down with Romo for, they got 30 seconds. There's nothing to talk about other than we had some good teams. and, well, you could just fill in the blank or the gaps. What do you think Romo says when he recounts that time?

Like, we had some good teams, but, or what do you think it is? It's not the, I've seen some clip floating around recently where he's talking about the contract negotiation. No. Okay. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's just, hey, we didn't get the brakes. I don't know. Yeah, probably, yeah, probably. We didn't get the breaks.

A couple plays here and there. He defended Jerry, right? The clip that I saw It was it was not Jerry's fault We had the teams to do it That's what X players Will generally just defend Jerry With that

Like hey the players didn't do it Like even today You'll hear Emmett saying about the current team Hey it's up to the players I mean Jerry's put good players out there You just got to These players aren't like us Well yeah

They're not that good Yeah But he's he seemed to intimate that the players are as good, but they had the TWTW. They had a little more, you know, kids these days, they're just worried about their money. We wanted to win.

Yeah, and it's not just, it's not like Barry was the opposite fully. They were still working a little bit, too, like just to try to test the case of who was responsible. It's just a lot to try to do the credit game. It's sad, kind of. It kind of feels like watching just two old guys yell in the balcony. except we all, they're like, oh, let's watch

as they go. Go away. All right, want to do some viewer mail? Sure. Some of it is sports-related, so we could also call it sports, but we have a little song and everything. We got a sponsor for viewer mail today is Community Mechanical. Community Mechanical.

That makes sense. Because they are sponsored. the Brandon Aubrey show, which we solicited viewer mail for. Yes. Community Mechanical. That's our HVAC company. What you need to do is get preventative maintenance. You can go to communitydfW.com.

It's like a condom for your HVag. Yeah, I mean. For the tip. The thing is, that's how they got to know Brandon Aubrey, actually. Brandon Aubrey had a call from, had another company come out and say, you know what, this thing is shot, your whole HVAC system needs replaced. It'll be about $15,000. Whoa. So he's like, well, I should get another opinion on this.

So community mechanical comes out. They find it's like a $100 part that needs replaced. They did that. He's good to roll. So community mechanical, with preventative maintenance, in a way they are hurting themselves because they are preventing something from going wrong and letting your system live longer. like they did with me this year. But they think in the long run that's going to, you know, give them a good relationship with you. And in the long run, you'll end up getting your HVAC system from them. And I think that's a good plan.

That's what we got going with them. I would agree. CommunityDFW.com. Call or text them, 469,66777290. All right. They also got their fleet of trucks wrapped with dumb zone. They have a dumb zone. Does BVP have a fleet?

Is four a fleet? What does the fleet? What do you guess? I think they have four try. You guys can move your mics over a little bit if you want. I don't mind, right? Is that a jerk? I think BVP has a fleet right now, do they? No. I assume a fleet would be five or more. Five or more?

Who would we call if we needed? Three would be a trio. Such service. If you need a fleet? Yeah. I don't know. We'll get to that. Do you want a fleet of HVAC?

You don't need all the vans out of your place at once. Probably just one. But I'm just saying they are wrapped with a dumb zone logo. They are. If you look at the back of the truck, and really, that's not that important here. It could be as small as two vehicles. So, uh... I would never read this email.

I would never write this email, but I'm going to read it, okay? All right. And I think you probably, you probably would have skipped over it. No, my dear roast beef chief. Don't let shoddy. use the cancer force field you may recall that a couple weeks ago after Jerry as we just talked about

in the documentary was announced that he had dealt with stage four cancer there was a permission um that same day shot it was kind of like hey outside cancer I don't know somebody found it in his bio somewhere and then he was asked about it what's he supposed to do about it

no he was not asked about it nobody found it in his bio you're sure of that yeah I'm going to trust you. You're a shoddy. It was the, because it was that day, he let off with it out of nowhere. Okay. No one asked him about it.

I don't even think they asked him about Jerry. They may have. But no one, from what I understand, from all the media guys I was talking to out there, that was brought up totally by him out of nowhere. He just wanted to then, it was because of Jerry's thing. So the Jerry cancer got released that day or people found out. It was the debut of the documentary. Okay, yeah.

The Red Carpet Day. That's right. And then so he came, told a story, he fought through it. It was a difficult time. Showed the scar and the walk off. Yeah, showed the scar. So, yes, and we were calling it a bit of a, it is a little bit of a criticism of horse field, for sure. So, DFP, this listener says,

thyroid cancer has like a 98% survival rate. My wife had it and had to have surgery, too. Took her to the hospital at 8 a.m., took her home at noon. We had, quote, survivor cancer. sex that night. Survivor cancer sex. It says we had survived cancer, but let's do, we had I survived cancer sex that night.

It's like saying you had skin cancer when you had a mole removed. What's the cancer equivalent of stolen valor? Never punted in intercept cancer. So I think it's kind of like the wheelchair, racism, soccer fan. You're just trying to guess what you're, with what you have is worth.

And you don't want to overpun. play it like there's obviously serious question levels of uh two percent chance of death though of Alzheimer's uh how do they do they have a classification any sort of degrees that are used in that uh lane or no like stage one i mean it sounds crazy but you know you can hear different levels of there's like preliminary stages and then onset and then it progresses to dementia yeah i think they typically break it down by mild cognitive impairment mid-level and then severe. But it's always moving up, though.

Yeah. It isn't like diabetes. You could have just one kind of lower-level diabetes, where apparently you can with cancer. Like cancer doesn't always... Right, right. Typically, if you were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, you're going to end up spangled with dementia.

That word... Spangled. Wow, that took me back. Yes. Okay. Nice. Dear Daniel. avoiding references to how much hot poon you slaughter in this email as it pertains to charity

and the betterment of our precious youth my wife uh works for big brothers big sisters greater dallas and could use the dz bump getting the word out about a car raffle this is from uh this is from a j shorn uh do i know that guy you do he's the son of someone The son of my doctor. Oh, man. He says it's a 71 Chavelle 525 HP. Does that mean horsepower? Yeah, probably.

Hewlett Packers, more of my game. So we'll give me some Chavelle. Do you want 525 horses? I don't know. That seems like a lot. I don't know anything about cars. Or horses. He's claiming this is like awesome, and it's 250 tickets.

The tickets are 500 bucks, but you have a $1,000. bucks but you have a one and two hundred and fifty chance of winning so uh he's got a little link i'm going to give that to you blake and you can put it in the show notes okay if anybody wants in on the where you know about any tax situation 71 chavelle if i remember well what if i try to remember to hand it to you too how's the tax situation can i write this off i probably should have we could have talked about it before but why not i'll bet you yes if you if you get a raffle for any charity you probably have to if it's a gift item you You probably have to pay some sort of taxes up until, like, $100,000 maybe.

I don't know. Chevelle's nice. What did you just say? I don't even understand. We're trying to know, can you write off the $500 for the raffle? You're receiving a gift, and so you are allowed to claim X amount of money on your taxes as a gift receipt. No, no, I'm buying a raffle ticket from you. Oh, no.

For $500. Can I write off that $500? You can absolutely write that off. Thank you. That's what I wanted to hear. See, dudes always just tell you what you want to hear. A lady wants to tell you what you don't want to hear. Truth?

Break it down. That's right. The dudes are like, no, she's into you, dude. And then she's like, no, I'm not. Bonus ice cream flavors from A.J. Shorn. Oh, yes. Boy, this one's probably over my head. Mohamed Cinnamon Ray Sinwar.

Raisin war. Oh, okay. Cinnamon raisin. Okay. Sorry. And free Clementine. Okay. orange yeah said a uh are you uh wasn't if i don't know

jake doesn't like your reference okay okay well the palestine yeah i thought that was really obvious i don't know i would what's the mohammed one i don't know i'd have to see it on paper uh this is from uh fellow jake this one in austin you seem to have a bit of an obsession with dwarves so i thought it would share while in college at southwest texas i shared a room with a dwarf this person is using this term so i'm going to going to read it, you know, as if it's them saying it. Should a room with a dwarf that I work with at the Texans Lions camp the summer before, having a dwarf as part of our friend group provided the opportunity to test some things,

some theories. It's like a dwarf myth busters. Findings. Dwarves are not easy to toss. Although smaller the density makes it difficult to get distance, wrestling with a dwarf is a very bad idea. when pinned a normal size person is incapacitated however a dwarf would be able to kick you in the spine having much more findings uh that were lost due to alcohol and other things

their friend rest in power blake dominic passed away at the age of 30 but he says we heard toward the end here's the yay uh he was making a living being a dwarf elvis impersonator As long as he wasn't beat up, better than Eddie Goodell. Yeah. If we're rating end game situations for the untalled. Yeah, so that one was from Jake and Austin. I believe he also followed up with me on one and said, Dom used to steal my food out of the fridge,

so once I planted a trap with a sandwich, I used to steal my soap in the shower, so I installed a shelf. It was five and a half feet high, so even his stool couldn't reach it. It's fun. Everybody's celebrating their... When will we have our first dwarf president? Boy, you want to rank them?

Not like dwarves that are likely to be president, but... So, lady. Yeah, you want to be more specific or no? What do you mean? I don't know. You're looking at color or... And just... any more specific demographics, like younger, older, yeah.

Republican. Reno. But there's a couple times, like a hot, a hottie. Talking about a hottie? Republican hottie? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I don't even know if there is a Republican route. No, but you can get a...

They don't run them out there. Man, I guess they don't really have any church lady moms anymore. Damn. But, okay, but lady... Certainly dwarf. You're going full boarhead. We go beard. That's probably up higher than lady.

Bald? Is that higher than lady? Although bald might go with beard. Because I've heard lots of bald guys grow a beard to balance out their head. Yeah. That's what I did. Solid advice. I think the life expectancy of the dwarf might make that a little more difficult as well.

They what? The life expectancy of a little person. A lot of them don't make it's a constitutional limit to age. Little people? No, like I said, I think that anybody with a size, size doesn't seem to really be a staying power. Like any 75, you don't see a 75, 90-year-old? Yeah.

Anyway, we'll work on that. Name ratings for Jake. Okay. Let's see. Dear Monassur of the Moist Mansion. How do you feel about that? Awful. Is it the word moist?

Yeah, it really is. It does invoke like just like little Grinchy, immediate cringes of water. Beads, right? Yeah. And like kind of a membrane-type wall. That's what feels moist to me. Soggy.

Anyway. I celebrated my Moose Johnson birthday this year and also produced a child. Through vigorous calendar-sinked moosing with the lady that lives in my house for free. I would like post-hab Jake to name rate my two-month-old son. Stellan. Whoa. So it's like Stella.

Okay. Would be a lady, right? Yeah. I mean, it could be. And you add an N. Stellan. How is it spelled? I have contacted Game Day of Southern California to get the kid on pediatric doses of

Ty Cessorone. S-T-E-L-L-A-N? Yes. I immediately thought Stalin. Yeah. So are we seeing that there is a Swedish, there's a Scarsguard? Somebody already say that? Yeah, Papa Scarsguard.

A Stellan Scarsguard, who's possibly the father of the Iceman? Not the Iceman. No, you're right. All the hot guys from the Nordic. Okay. I mean, I don't know. like it seems like an insane name to be, but maybe it's John over there. What do you think? He has a lot of, oh, me?

Yeah, I'd be interested. You're the one who rates names. I think everything is great. I can ask. Yeah. No. Let's see, this is from Matt and San Diego, who says, my financial, he has lots of leaders. I'm not reading them all. Financial leader, though, is Angelo. And? And let's see here. Not great.

Not great. He says, I've given you a photo of Ernest Goes to Epstein Island. Please frame this and hang it in the Dragon Dead. Okay. And then I have one more with a baby name rating. So it is Dear Daniel Star of Revenge of the Slit. Yeah. How do you feel about that S word?

Not great. You don't like the word slit or moist? Yeah, yeah. I stand by that statement. Hmm. there's really not any good ones you know there's really not what euphemisms for the the old lady parts yeah it's really impossible to find the sweet spot between way too horny and childish what do you like what do you think of axe wound oh my god i actually think that's your best yeah you might get a laugh

that's a fun one right yeah nobody's like this guy's after like you ever have a guy whisper that to your ear while he's at least once Just the one time. Okay, what was this name? Okay, so it's a need Jake to do a name and number rating for the kids on my daughter's soccer team. I don't understand about the number rating. This is getting out of control. But she's three and is playing for a team called the Rainbow Butterflies.

What do you want me to do with that? I didn't mean to jump ahead of you. Huh? This is Jake's bit. I didn't want to jump ahead, but that's terrible. Well, I mean, what am I supposed to do with that? The name Rainbow Butterflies, I think, is a great name for a three-year-old soccer team. No?

No. Why? What are the options? Anything? It just feels like, you know, kitten something or just... Yeah, do you want to win? Or do you want to give participation trophies? The daffodil?

These are three-year-old girls. I want to win. All right, here's the name. I don't understand... I want to intimidate. I don't understand the number reference. Feels very football team. But names.

Okay. Clements. I'm sorry. Like clemency with an E instead of a Y. Natalie Pro Pretty standard

Yeah but I like that though It feels a little dark Brinley B-R-Y-N-L-E-I-G-H Nope Oh you had me until the E-I-G-H You can state no It's the Y

Like how many of those are going to have Y Oh B-R-Y-N Yeah Ouch So it was B-R-Y-N-L-Y Oh you got the L-E-I-D-H Okay I mean it's bad on it's tough i don't like that one uh gracie classic coming back that's an old timey name i think

gracie how they spell it did it this is just g r a c ie is there a word for a name that becomes a dog name and then is attempting to re-become a human name and faces some level of you feel like gracey's big in the dog or grace the people is it okay um right right right Right. Then we have two more, Ryla. R-Y-L-A. I kind of like that, actually. It sounds like something from one of your star shows, right? And some of those have cool names. And finally, Cardani. That either. Like the Crypto Cardano. No, there's no way.

I'm just saying that's what it's spelled like. Wow. C-A-R-D-A-N-I. Cardani. Dude, you better be just absolutely moist with Riz. She hates the word moist. We've just run out of names, haven't we? I guess we just ran out of names.

Hey, I have an image in there, Clayton. A shortened word somebody sent me. I think this is from the Ring Doorbell app. And if you see it on the screen, it is a post here. Just wondering about the value of the bike. Oh, no way. If this is a misto or a fellow. That's all the information we have here.

We don't have the photo. We have the post. Just wondering about the value of the bike. So is a misdemeanor? Or a felony. Misdemeanor is misto? I kind of love it. That's awesome.

You guys vote? No. I didn't know we're doing Knox Hindo. Yeah. I should have grabbed that, but... Yeah, Blake heard a traffic report on the radio yesterday. I just wanted to know how my drive home was and apparently there was some congestion around

Knox Hindo on 75. So what year was it that we were like, why do they still do traffic reports on the radio? It's totally sponsor-related, right? Yeah. It is. Like, is there one person like, God damn it. Wait, I'm not going to leave work until I listen to the traffic.

Let me tell you something. Like you hear it when you're in the middle of it. And this is the problem. It's the eight and the traffic is not hit yet. But it's the umbrella, dude. Like, I'll tell you. Now I have a reason to tell you this horse. story. It took me 90 minutes to get to basketball yesterday. I had stuff to do in the car,

no big deal. Now, did that traffic report help me navigate that? No, but it told me which traffic I was about to be in next. And that's a very valuable service on the radio. What about looking at the iPhone? To be honest, can't you do that while you drive? To be honest, I think there are times where it's, uh, they actually have like better instructions. I actually think that. The traffic person on the radio? Yes. And I flip back and forth in the afternoon.

If you need it, it's like an umbrella. Got to be able to flip it on there. I'm surprised you don't have like a weather radio active. That's ridiculous. What are you saying? No? What is a weather radio? Or just like an old, no.

We have those at the hospital. I think there was... Emergency radios. Yeah, like either day is going to have... It feels like a generator guy. type thing. Oh, I would love to have a generator. Well, no, just like it feels that, I guess I thought that was like a bundle

being that guy. But I mean, do you check the weather? Do you know what he's saying? I'm trying. I know exactly what he's talking about, and I'm surprised Blake doesn't have a weather radio. I assumed that. I just look at my phone. Yeah. Brother, the weather radio is You can also look at your phone. What is the weather radio?

Tell us. What is the rain? What is the rain gauge to measure it. The phone can tell me how much rain I got at my house. I mean, like, down to the second, I don't know, it just feels like that's an inexact science there. I love that weather app. See a little radar. I like a radar. Let's press, oh, three hours from now.

Looks like we're going to better get the dogs. Feels like a magician. Today's traffic and weather together is brought to us by a brand new sponsor called poncho. What do you think of this shirt? Are you wearing a poncho shirt today? I am. I actually was drenched earlier. Oh, do we mention poncho before on the show?

I believe so. Okay, because Lettie emailed us and said, I was wearing a poncho shirt when I saw you guys in Denton recently. They have the slim cut in their shirts, which adds a little length for height with a little more modern fit. He's doing a spot. He emailed us. This is part of a mail call or viewer mail.

Way, this raising the bar too high once we get down to business if you're thinking me of as a hog guy. More of a, what, like a piglet. Right? What's a hog baby? Yeah. Piglet. You would just call a hog baby a piglet?

What's the difference between a pig and a hog? Don't even ask. Is there a thing? Yeah. Say piglet, then there's one. One's a type of another. You can pipe at any time here. You dress nice.

Yeah, that doesn't that? There's a, a hog is a type of a pig? I think hogs typically referred to as a non-domesticated pig. Yeah. There you go. Okay. So they don't have hoglets, though. Sweet.

Anyway. I have a game for Jake and Blake, says Sam Sturm. I'm going to list eight sports leagues from around the world. Your goal is to guess if the league makes more revenue, less revenue, or the same revenue within 10% as the WNBA. This is great. Targeted. This is great. Campaign.

All right, we got this. And he actually found a website that lists revenues of different leagues. Sure, yeah. So this is not profits. Representative data. This is just the revenues. What if we go with the B1 League, that is the Japanese Basketball League? There's no way.

It can't be higher. No way. They make more than the W. Shoot. Will you help here? Some to just take some of the brunt at least. The Canadian Football League. More.

Higher. Higher. This feels like a trap. Says here about the same as the W within 10%. How you like that? It's surprising. Series C or Series C, it is the Italian-only third-tier pro soccer league. Definitely makes more.

More? That's definitely more, yeah. More is correct. a third tier Italian that's like Italy's kind of small right it's like I see that you're trying to make your point but I like it's a big size of Ohio and the third tier league in Ohio is for example you know it might not be on the list but it would be like probably analogous to Haralobob's league or something like that right yeah but the Canadian thing is is interesting which one if you were forced to to watch. Canadian football? You just have to watch. You just like football, right?

Yeah, but if you just had to watch like Canadian sports or women's sports, sports just played by Canadian people. Outside of hockey. All Canadian. Yeah, I guess hockey would be. What other Canadian sports are there? Yeah.

They're solely Canadian. I don't know, but I don't want to watch them exclusively try to play American sports. That's not going to be fun. The Korean baseball organization. Got to be more. Got to be way more. You win, because it's more than three times as much as the W.

The Israeli Premier League, Israel-only soccer league. It has to be. This is a bit. Is he naming just eight leagues that make more? No, it's the same as the W. There's certainly some that do. Handball Bundesliga, the German-only handball league. Okay.

as a Dirk follower. It's pretty popular there. And Devote, you know, that is very popular there. Silky plate. That's a sport that put it on the list. I think should be more popular. Handball.

The highlights are really cool. They are. But the question is, do they make more, less, or the same as the WMBA? More. Clearly a more star-laden path. Sam writes, makes less than the W parentheses

you go girls then we have the U.S. National Women's Soccer League more than the W and the Caribbean Premier League a Caribbean cricket league probably equivalent

I'd say less it's got to be less equivalent about the same as the WNBA the Caribbean Cricket League Then he says His leaders are You know what I'll just leave that one alone More Brunig

And keep it sleazy That's from Sam Sturm Sam Would you go by SS That's just completely off the table right Completely over Yes Unless you were naming your brigade

I mean they did like Camaro, right? Did they have an SS? Yeah. Yeah. And it's impossible to make that logo or those two letters without making it look like pretty ominous. Yeah.

Yeah. It's good viewer mail, dude. Yeah, I was just looking, do I want to read the one from Brian who says he's a mid-singles, mid-30s single black man? Oh, yeah, this was a good email. invoke the Poonie rule because his parents want him to date black women. Yes.

But he's having, he said he doesn't prefer white women, but it's just kind of like who he's near more often. And so he's like, do I need to at least bring in one black? I couldn't really understand exactly what the Poonie rule is, but I thought it was funny enough that we should mention that black guys are worried about, who they bring home to mom and dad it's a it's yeah it's a pretty and do they have to just mix

does he have to mix in a black girl now and again exactly like just like the puny so the Rooney rule is you got to interview one black candidate correct so like if you're going to date three girls this year let's mix in a black girl please just show us that you're at least not ruling that out yeah and I mean he was very clear that his

his parents are way more open to a black woman more affectionate with them nicer to him whenever he's with a black woman and so he's saying if he at least floats a few test balloons out there just to satisfy them maybe they'll be okay with the outcome in the end but right like hey i was interviewing them all yeah we we gave everyone a change but just so happens that brian schottenheimer yeah is a better head coach than that's tough That is a situation you and I don't know how to navigate. Have I ever met, this is my last one from Garrett, Roseanne ratings. And he writes, Dear Missionary Messiah.

You accept that one? Yeah, but that's not a lady part's name. That's a... True. What is it? What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at missionary? The Messiah part.

That's just a funny way to say that. Two potential Rosans. Sounds like service. Right? He has Jen Pawal. Which one is that from my house? The new Major League umpire. Oh, wow.

Yeah, the lady umpire. The little, yeah. With the giant strikes in the person. Correct. She didn't do great. So as she had a second? Of course we've talked about this, right? We haven't talked about the second one.

Has it come up? Mm-mm. Okay. Feels like it's been forever. It's got all there. She must have had a good game or else we would have heard all about it, right? This is the. same bit of a, if there's, are there lots of trans, are there lots of boys playing, you know,

girls, eight-year-old sports? If there's one, I'll hear about it. Yeah. So if she had a bad game, you're going to hear about it, you're going to pounce all over that. But if she just had a normal game, they're not going to promote that because that's probably what happened. She can't string too many else together. Also, Rosanne, possible Roseanne, Buck Showalter. Oh, definitely. The game, yes, exactly. 100%. There were times whenever I was growing up where I looked at the elders in my family

and saw Buck Showalter, for sure. I always thought he looked like a monkey. If you look at him from a certain angle, he looks like, I think it's Dr. Zeyas from the original Planet of the Apes. Yeah, so I... He would have that long hair, the main... Like he just looked semi...

He looked like he could use a banana. The presentation of like primary... on Planet of the Apes is not one I'm that familiar with but immediately I just But as I look at it, yeah That kind of a monkey He kind of yeah

He's a fake He looks like a human dressed in a monkey outfit Not as much like a monkey I don't know Most monkeys look there in better moods than he does He's like pissed off all the time Yeah Well he's got to go to all those baseball games

A whole life of them We do have a new sponsor I mentioned I thought Poncho was a new sponsor I forgot. We've already talked about them. What about Hello Fresh, bro? Hello Fresh. Did you get your shipment? I did.

The Dumsah, Dumsah, Dumsah. You think that's a hum that everybody can hear? Yes. We're haunted. He fixed it, but then it's not fixed now. Is it because I hit something? I might have hit something. Anyway.

Oh, no. Because you just hit it and then stop. Move the wire around or off your computer or something? I unplugged the wire. Oh. I'm like Jimmy Hendrix. He used to play the feedback. Yeah, that's sort of.

That's the wire. Is it the salmon war? Just plug in the old one. God damn it. I told him I didn't like the old connection, and he's trying to give me a new one. We're about solutions. Let's just do the old one. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, I don't know. I can never really figure it out. Then, you know, it's kind of like the irresponsibility of my life thing. When stuff's messed up over here, people are generally like, it's probably his fault. And usually they're right, but sometimes it does sound good. That does sound good. And, boy, it was absolute darts. It's my Hot Logic Mini.

Don't let me find out that the broccoli warmer is causing this problem all week. It warms up salmon and everything. That's what this has been? No, not the whole time, just today. Okay. Jake's had it up to here. No, he's shot in trouble. He was like trouble.

I want to come out of break and mention put on your calendar next Friday. We're going to be at a Wadaburger. And we're going to have those exclusive car trays again. And this is the last batch. These were purchased with tariffs. So the Dumb Zone is taking a bit of a hit on this one. But yes, it's the Waterburger live remote one week from Friday. So the 29th, 9 a.m. we start.

What are we doing? 9 a.m. start. So we'll get you breakfast. We'll be there until lunch as well. it is Grand Prairie 161 and Pioneer Parkway or that's the Bush I believe Sure Yeah I think what we're doing too

I'm asking Mariola Okay yeah not to go with the Bush Bush and Pioneer Parkway Whatever car tray remote Dumb zone car tray it's going to be great folks I don't know is it going to be great Yeah I think I'm I'm going to bring I'm there to hit the wrap around on breakfast and lunch

And book a full day cows No, that's not. Cal's. We can go Cal. Sure. Entertaining break, I believe, if you are somebody who watches us live, I believe there are many fewer people who do that. But if you do, I guess you get to see Clayton evaluate fast food items.

And I think today he welcomed Henry to the show. Oh, wow. What a dynamic punch. Chat questions. And were you posing the first 90% or last 10% to Henry? Chat did. First question. And he doesn't know the context of that?

He doesn't, and he chose 90. Interesting. He would. Happens. Blake and I played basketball last night. Oh, you did? I knew he was. We did.

Do you ball out? No. I'm out there to exercise, folks. Are you moving along? If you get the pass, are you moving it right to somebody else? I need to chill. I need to chill. I'm sorry, but I'm still at a high turnover point.

If I, we don't need to get into that. He's a great rebounder. but here's a thing oh yeah every loose ball it's not a 50-50 with Jake he's getting it you're too kind

but here's a thing he'll hold the ball on you it's a problem I assume people want to move they don't want to move they want you to get the ball and I get to oh you're waiting

you think you're in the motion often I kind of think I'm Yokic okay and yeah he's back to the basket waiting for someone to cut it's not good he's cutting we just ran down the court

it's not good I'm standing over here I'm learning I'm re-learning basketball etiquette but it's not about me it's about him. It's about the show he puts on. Is he good at basketball too?

Yeah, he's always been really good at basketball, but there was a time where it felt like he was losing a little bit of the burst. Because I've seen him play softball. That really was a big part of his game. And that's something that a lot of times, when it goes, it's tough to get back now. But he's a little fire plug, too, right? I hate myself when I play sports. You're just like a little, you're not tall.

Oh, no, no, no. So how does he do that? Because he's a powerful little stout guy. He can crush a golf ball. Yeah, I mean, he just gets a softball. It's not just that he gets to the rim. But what is he going to do for me on my basketball team? I don't know.

He just, he handles the ball. He's got like a 90% usage rate. He's Luca. He has the ball of the whole game and orchestrates, whoa. Like, he just, I'm going to say something really ridiculous. He's fun to watch play basketball, like one of those type of dudes. Now, machines like that, too. No, the rest, I'm out there exercising.

They're out there, two or three of them playing basketball. It's fun. That's my plug. What are you doing? I'm trying to have juice. Oh, no, here. Do you want yours back? I'm good.

I'm full. I've been full. I'm good. I'm good. I'm sorry, Pat. Anyways, it was a lot of fun. It seems like there's a flaw in this whole thing. We've got more trouble to shoot.

All right, but if I can't plug in my computer. Anyway, you're the greatest natural athlete that we all know. It was just a lot of time. It was a lot of fun to seeing him out there do his thing. What can he do, folks? Um, he got a quick, quick, uh, sports concern. And it's usually this, this comes back to the Cowboys. We've talked about the fact that maybe like Micah and Dak aren't on the same page, right?

They're not in the same generation. It's odd. They're both pretty young, but like Micah seems to be in a newer generation than Dak. Like, Dak probably shakes his head at Micah doing a podcast. Yeah. It feels like a generational divide. Did you see his reaction to a Clarence Hill tweet a couple of days ago? Or maybe this was even just yesterday.

Who he? Oh, Michael Parsons. Okay, not Dak. I mean, I guess that makes sense. The dancing video? I did see the dancing video. I don't even know what you're talking about there. No, Clarence Hill put out a quote tweet, as he will.

which is a Frankly has Brackett Danville too in a very sharpshooter style Sure very occasionally Jum But

it was a Somebody had tweeted Joe Burrow getting sacked in a preseason game and he got thrown to the ground and you know you get scared of that with your franchise quarterback

Injury history Clarence Hill writes You know Play your franchise in the Franchise quarterback in the preseason, they said. Because he got tackled? I guess he got tackled. He kind of got swung around. It was a penalty. Like, it was roughing the passer, but, you know, could have been injured, wasn't injured.

But I think that's the intimation, right? You could have been injured, and that could have derailed your entire season before the season even started. Couldn't you just as easily say, oh, look, you got one of your hard hits out of the way? I mean, honestly, there's no real data being used here. It's just what you feel. But Micah quote-tweets a quote-tweet. And he said, this is what's needed. Exclamation point. He actually wrote, this is what needed.

But I feel like he meant to put an S on what's. He says, we've just become soft in my generation. You have got to figure what's wrong in the preseason. They will become better from it. So there's a lot of things to look at here. Number one, he's taking a shot at either the Cowboys overall. in their handling of Dak or he's taking a shot at Dak. Because Dak doesn't play it down in the preseason.

And he says it is, Micah Parsons is stating it is what's needed. You need to play downs in the preseason to figure out what is wrong. And you'll become better. Well, there's another guy who's not playing in the preseason. Micah Parsons. That part's shipping me up quite a bit. Is he saying, he's saying it's what's wrong with my generation that we're not. not playing.

Is he part of it? But he's not playing. And is that because that is a steadfast, hard rule from the Cowboys that you're not playing? Now, number one, he's not practicing, so I don't think that even plays into it. But, like, is he mad when the Cowboys tell him not to play? We do know he's been upset before being pulled out of a preseason game, but that was when he was like a rookie. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think that they're holding him out, right?

Like, it's just a matter of whether or not he wants to play under that old deal. And I just think this whole, all of this is just maddening because they say one thing. Like, the fact that he talks on social media, I get it what you want to spread your message, but he's at camp and he's walking by reporters and the fact we have to piece all this together. It just drives me insane. It drives me insane. I don't even know what he means. Is he criticizing his generation?

Who's soft? Is what is need? Why? Why? Just please Play football Soon Is he like his podcast if he doesn't sign

Look I mean He didn't do it all off season That's weird Don't you think I bet he did You're right I think it did seem like it chilled out a little bit But you got to remember

He does a lot of Other you know But Bleacher Report He's going to sumo wrestle And other rad stuff It'd be great if he sits out games And does the podcast Well I mean what I was going to say

is we're approaching Derek Holland in the World Series doing play-by-play as Harry Carey almost calling a home run from the Cardinals or, you know, over the Rangers, we're playing at that time. If Micah's just, let's go around the league. Headlines. Micah Parsons out.

Yeah, with a sit-in. See if this line moves at all. Did the sit-in start with the new NFLPA agreement? Like, now there's, official fines if you do is that where it started somebody was talking the other day about yeah I think that's correct and that you know they put

in mechanisms where you could get your money back if you end up signing that whole bit yeah okay but I don't know you know that reminds me of uh... it does doesn't it well the Cowboys just talking about the Cowboys it reminds me of Window Nation because if you replace all

your windows they'll give you a Cowboys jersey and a chance to win a pair of home tickets at windownation.com. Really, when you hook up with them, we would like it if you mentioned, you know what I heard about you on this podcast called The Dumb Zone, because that'll help us out. Brass Tacks.

I hope that several of you did not go to with donation and not mention them. You heard it here on the Dumb Zone. I'm not saying call back, but let's say going forward when you do call, make sure you let them know that you heard of them. I'd call back. Yeah, okay.

You'll go that extra mile. That'll help us out. that guy. This month you get 50% off all window styles and they have this deal where you put zero money down. You make no payments. You pay zero interest for two years. So you're not even paying for your new windows until 2027. Upgrading the windows is something you could do right away. They could do it right at your house. Excuse me, they could do it right there in your home. They have to fix your windows in your home. I know. Once I issues that, it was really kind of going off the rails.

You don't pick them up at a store and you install them. Why don't I bail now? They'll be installed one day or less at Window Nation. That's 86690 Nation or visit Window Nation.com. News? Sure. Yes, sir. I hope.

As long as you don't plug the broccoli thing back in. I will not plug anything in. We did not test this, but let's see. Blake, did we ever play the audio? We do have some odd. the odd that I couldn't play the other day of the lady with Pill Mouth talking about the poop. Did we ever get around to it actually?

Did we play it? No. LA News left over from the other day. We fell in love with this lady on Fox Local out in L.A. And again, I'll verify for you. There's a police chase every day out there, but it's not just that. They have zany stories like this one. You never signed her slip.

Oh, my goodness. It's right here. It's right here. It's right here. right here. An LGBTQ plus center in bail is facing that disgusting form of harassment.

Bags of dog feces thrown at their building overnight. Staff says that... The first woman is our main host here that has trouble with her lips a little bit and it sounds funny especially when she says just words like poop. Do you know her name?

It's all botoxed? It seems like it. Yeah, I don't think she's actually substancey, but she is definitely, there's a lot going on there. and it affects her delivery a little bit. I also need a name. Blake, can you look for it? What channel?

It's Fox, L.A. and... An LGBTQ plus center in Bell is facing that disgusting form of harassment. Bags of dog feces thrown at their building overnight. Staff says the attacks target their work supporting the community, but they are standing strong. Fox 11's Adlascos, he's live there in Bell with the story tonight. Ed?

some members of this community this center say they feel like they're sort of under attack and it's a strange attack a smelly attack at that can you imagine someone throwing dog excrement dog poop up at their building can you imagine can you imagine everything is just it's so good could anything be worse can't dog extrament I feel like that's kind of light like it's in a bag what's your experience with deploying the feces in an assault on property. I have none. I have never done any kind of poop-based. I did have a buddy who went number two in a shoe, left it on a... Like he went on the port. I watched him do it. He just squatted down and went number two in a shoe.

I'm like, what kind of an animal are you? But I was loving it. Yeah, of course. Of course. It was a long time ago. As far as like accuracy... It was like two weeks, three weeks. We don't have to go too far with this, but, I mean, did you watch the whole act take place?

It's all just right there in the shoe, and then what's the next step? Well, then we just left. He just left it. There was some dude's shoe. He didn't like him, and so he, I think he stole his shoe or something. Showed him. Yeah, I don't know. I had a buddy do it on a plate and use that as part of his ding-gong ditch.

A plate? Pooped on a plate, put it on the porch, rang the doorbell. ran off, we were in the bushes across the street. What kind of plate? It was awesome. It was awesome. Yeah, a guy came out, obviously visibly upset, takes the plate out in the street and chunks it. Oh, man.

I wonder what I do in that, like, you're going to move it. You do got to move it. But I probably put on some gloves. You're saying if you're the owner of the home or the property or whatever, you're receiving. The poo. So is it. Like, and you know it's a human poo. That'd be extra bothers to my blood.

Yeah. It was big. But that's why I thought a thing of dog poo in a bag. All right. Okay, so let me ask you this, though. If you just do it on the leaves as a human, do you think it looks that different than the dog? On the leaves.

Like if you have the grass or whatever, like a dog, I think you're comparing. Yeah, it looks different. But I think you. Although I have poodles, tiny toy poodle. Right. And you're used to seeing it in water, though. There's definitely a smell difference. There's definitely a smell difference.

That's true. Human worse? Absolutely. You think human worse? Just based on walking into the office and passing the train station every morning around 6.25. Yeah. Yeah, human poo.

Yeah, I never, I don't know that I ever got that far into that. That feels like whenever they tell you that something was getting to the illegal level. It's almost like the FCC, you know? Like when you involve bodily fluids in crime, it feels like you're taking another level. Is that a misto? That's a great question That's a great question Super, super hot

Out here this week And we've got school You, you in particular You in particular I mean You weren't going to let us get Just falling in love with that white shirt You were just going to wet the beak

The other shirt Yeah Well I have a closet full of black shirts I found one I like and I bought ten of them Sure I am though I mean, this weather Yeah

It may be about to cancel You got to cancel soccer practice already I might What if I want to So yeah Now I'm Rain today was nice But yeah

You know what the farmers needed it Oh my yes Lake levels My front yard needed it Anyway I'm trying to go for Because in California I was waking up Texas time and so I'm up real early and I'd walk to 7-Eleven and get a coffee.

It was free of this tyranny. What? Just mentions of time zone. Does that bother you? No, I just like the bitch at you. Yeah, well, that's all right. We just remember sitting at Spencer McKinsey's at 3.45 in the afternoon. Yeah, but then you guys would have another dinner later.

We must drop it. We must drop it. So what are you doing now? Are you walking in your neighborhood to go get coffee? No, yeah, I'm getting up like at 630. Well, I'm trying. but I'm not succeeding, but I'll go out for a 7 a.m. walk because I tried a 9 a.m. walk the other day, and it was the worst thing ever.

Too late? It was worse than getting bagged up dog poop thrown at me. Henry, did people... It was just so hot. What about you, your generation of poop? You're a generation of poop. Generation of poop. We had jackass, right?

So I'm just not sure what came... Well, I had always heard about the lighting a paper bag on fire. with poop in it and then you have to come out of your house to stomp it out and then when you stomp on it then your foot gets covered with the poop which is more than the plate the plate is more of a visual and a it's a yeah it's a giant middle finger plate feels personal it is you're being served yeah yeah like a paper plate or did he use an actual no you had just a little styrofoam plate oh okay I didn't know if he got it like a china no he wouldn't does anybody have china you know what that is oh like the glass yeah the so we have this china

that apparently was like my great great-grandmas or somebody and then now now so i have to hold on to this effing china why no you don't but apparently i do like someone i don't one sentence to me explained the relationship between china and china oh and china it's fine china it's fine I know. But these are like the finest plates from 1930 or something. Like, I don't know. And we're not allowed to ever use them. So you've never used them?

Maybe as a little kid, as I were called, maybe it would be like Christmas or something. They would do like, we could use the China once a year. And then my mom had it displayed in a cupboard. Like, ah, you got to see our chip, but we couldn't touch that China. And then now I own it all. But it's just packed up in a thing. And, you know, I'm just like, what are we doing with this, China?

Well, you can't get rid of it. Who is that? Is that your wife saying we can't get rid of it? Yeah. Of course it's wife-driven. Just, dude. But then, so now I'm going to give it to my kid probably someday. Oh, my God.

Henry. But what will they do with it? Roll on it when you give it. What would you do with China? You're a 30-year-old dude? Fine China. Find China. Is that what you're bringing to the relationship when you guys move in together?

Yeah, I got the Chinese. China, you get all the other stuff. We'll use it once a year. That is insane. You do have China? Yeah. Okay. So China does still exist. It's my grandmothers. Right. Like, no one is getting new China. And we use it on Christmas.

Is there new China? That's about it. Let's see if we can buy some. Brand new, like, Amazon has to have. Raymond? Can Raymond do China? Because wasn't it like a wedding present back in the day? Was it? Yeah. Yes. Like, that's what you have for. But it's like, for your wedding present, I'm going to give you a gift that.

that you can use once or twice a year. I thought that was the whole thing. It's like you register for wedding China, you use it at the wedding, and then you keep it through the rest of your... Dude, so much of the world is just based on... The history of the world is just based on somebody being like, this is worth a lot and other people being like, I agree.

Yeah. And the silver utensils? That's what I'm looking at now. A fine silver. We only bring that out. Serving trays and all that. Was it just a flex back in the day? Like, no, look, we got plates.

It's just like rims. We got plates that look real nice. Yeah. I'm going to pass down rims. If we get rid of that China, I will promise to poop on one of the pieces first. Can we get some YouTube traction with that? I don't imagine. The story that I was in the middle of telling you about there, this is, you always hear about the concerns for concussions with football and the return to play in the fall.

but the heat is more often than not what you see in the news. A player at Lancaster, Lancaster. Lancaster? Sophomore player, this says Lancaster early college high schools, one of these like prep type high schools, died after suffering a heat stroke. Now they placed him, his trainers did, in a cold tub right away to lower his body temperature.

I don't, I'm not here to Monday morning quarterback, but that's interesting to me that that's the suggestion, or not the suggestion, but the play. The play. Do you have any medical professionals here? So actually, hit us. As a nurse, I would think you'd call 911 first. Okay, they did. They called 911, place him in a cold tub to lower his body temperature. I mean, that sounds accurate.

You put it on your arteries to cool the body fastest. Is there a thing where you can get too cold too fast when you're too hot? I think it's probably what we're wondering, right? So I actually had this conversation the other day with my best friend who's a paramedic. He said it's a lot easier to revive somebody who's having a seizure as a result of cooling them off too fast. So when they get there, that's the first thing they're going to do is put them essentially in a body bag, which is going to look horrible, but then fill it with ice and everything cold they have. And you just come back to life in the bag?

Yeah, I don't think they... But if you don't, you're already there. Yeah. Yeah, they just poke a hole and let the walk. Well, RSVP? Yeah. Your choice, kid. Yeah.

But you want to have. Or a deltle. What's your experience with leeches? We did that at Parkland. Like when people cut off digits, usually it's like table saw type stuff. And so they do leach therapy, which is really gross. Like goat there, like goat yoga. So you'll get, like, leeches delivered that are, I guess, as sterile leeches as they can be.

Like the screwhorn. And so, like, they'll have their little fingers and you just have to, attach the leach on and it just falls off when it's full and then you put it in the biohazard bag and it goes about its way is it like a cop with a taser did they try it did you have to experience did you get um do we test leeches on each yeah did you get leached no i mean what is the you're putting it on what the cut off so like you cut off your finger yeah and they reattach it which is usually step one extraordinary long surgery all those are like 20 plus hour surgeries to detach digits because you get all blood vessels all that stuff so that

they try and keep the blood flow going. So the idea is that the leach will pull through and you're keeping... There's a leach on the top then. Yes. Sucking blood up. Yes. Just going to town, buffet. Going to town.

During the surgery. No, afterwards. Like when you're in the ICU. Oh, okay. To try and get the blood flowing up there. But you're not usually out, right? No. I mean, yeah, you're awake.

You're awake. You're awake. You're looking at a leech on your finger. They're really gross. I mean, they're so... At that point, you're so doped up leftover. You probably. Or your wife had heard maybe that it's like uncomfortable, but not painful or what?

Imagine getting your finger cut off. It's worse. Well, yeah, bigger fish. I think she was saying it was weird for her because sometimes they'll detach and crawl around the room. You got to find them. They live little snail trails. Usually they just fall off and they get real big and fat and gross. Dan, I sent you the Botox face lady.

I think you might be interested. You think he would, huh? I certainly would. She's on TV. You do have a thing for TV, ladies. Where's everybody on the vid? Is it back? It's coming back. We've had a lot of people. Yeah, much like students coming back.

So I was talking to my mom about it because my mom had a real bad cold or something over the weekend. And she's like, how do I have a cold? It's 80 degrees outside. And I'm like, do you think it's COVID? and she dismissed that pretty quickly. I mean. But how would she know? She doesn't expose herself too much, right? But like I felt a little bit funky and thought it was just, you know, we'd been working weird hours, but we were in an airport.

I need to get, are we still? It's definitely still going around. Are we, we're doing? I'll get a booster. What's your normal? What's your scene, Blake, Dunzo? Like, you're not getting another jab. Flu season.

I get a flu shot and a COVID. I got them both last year why not it feels like it's just part of the thing now it's just an appointment to remember to do yeah yeah uh and then I could count all the but our COVID shots gonna be available I thought they took them off the table because it's not real anymore oh really yeah like they're not even available that's what my question was that's I thought they were eliminating those

the whole COVID thing is insane It's best not to think about it. Yeah, the whole up and down of it all, and especially that when you sit and remember when COVID first hit and President Hillary made us all shut down. Oh, wait. Like, how do we do that one? How do we do the who was in charge at that time?

But we somehow, I don't know, it's real funny. So anyway, I'm getting a COVID shot if I can. Yeah. Because I'd like to not get covered. COVID. That was like the worst, bro. Yeah, no fun. Thanks for giving it to me. I'm sorry. At least it didn't happen twice.

Well, actually, we're going to go to the 9 o'clock newscast. That wasn't that bad. When Jake gave me COVID on Christmas, I'm like, sorry, would love to do all this family stuff. Guess I got to go just sit in my room and be by myself. Nothing more one man's trash, treasure and the like than that year where my family. family is just crying from another room. Oh, now yours, you have a little two-year-old kid. I'm looking through the hole. They're giving me food and gruel.

Yeah, I had 19-year-old kid. You have a two-year-old kid. Right. My kid was already social distancing. Mine was welcome. Hey, don't you think, don't talk to me until I've had my coffee? Might also have a shirt that said I've been social distancing all along. Yeah, absolutely.

That's a pretty good one. Last night on the 9 o'clock newscast here on Fox 4. we had Steve Eager and Heather Hayes. They're wrapping up a story about the redistricting situation. Politics is happening today in Texas, Dan. Like a big one that's... Sleeveless Cape Baldwin is on it this morning, too. Definitely.

Is it driving her Dululu? A little bit, she had on the... It was the little faux turtleneck sweater sleeveless thing. Oh, my God. You got to go watch five things today. you say turtleneck you're a fan of well it's just the little neck thing and then

then the sleeveless just that whole uh ensemble yeah it's really uh a flex on him uh one of the guys who's really popular in this whole political situation or he's at the forefront of it his name is dusty burrows

and uh i'm positive that I would disagree with him quite a bit uh you know politically or whatever do you have to admit that's a pretty incredible Texas leadership name. We don't get too many new ones. I thought it sounded like an old porn star. Yeah.

But from Texas, maybe. Give me something. He's from Lubbock. Or he serves from, I guess, Lubbock's speaker. So they're wrapping up a story on the news last night. It's a tense story, I guess, because Steve doesn't sound real thrilled

to really even be having to cover this. You know, it is a little bit of theater, so take it away. Another demonstration planned for tonight, but protesters were very. evacuated because of a threat at the Capitol. Tomorrow lawmakers will vote on the Republican-backed redistricting map that prompted... Do you think he has time for these shenanigans right now?

I mean, I'll back it up a little bit, but... When you're in those rooms and it feels like you're the only one there, we are all in that room with you. Another demonstration planned for tonight, but protesters were evacuated because of a threat at the Capitol. Tomorrow lawmakers will vote on the Republican-backed redistricting map that prompted Democrats to leave the state of... originally. Tarrant County commissioners voted to

slash the number of early voting and election day polling locations. More than 100 residents signed up to

speak on a nearly 40% cut of the county's early voting sites. Is that why we're playing this whole thing?

Whoa, indeed. Because Heather, now what do you think of that one? One. Is it

followed by Keystador? Yeah. Do you think perhaps she had a bet with her friends. Like, I could say it. Watch.

I would never. Yeah, I bet you that people have been doing that for years. That's kind of what I was going to say that I left off the table on the Cowboys thing, is more the idea of do you think that you can have classic bad boy teams anymore? Like, it kind of goes along with yesterday. Can we have words that stick around anymore?

Did people take risks like that enough? Like, can you, if you're, you know people in the 70s and 80s on the news were doing bits. It's a lot harder to imagine somebody now being like, hey, let's do the C-word bit. It sweeps. It's in for like present-day news. I am glad that you played that here because in our terrestrial radio days, you would have to beep that out and you would never really get the context. You couldn't, you didn't really know what was funny. Yeah.

I mean, we just have a... That was gold. We have a whole, just folder full of that word. Obviously, not as much... Like, I wish I could find the original Bradsham unedited one. We have it somewhere. I couldn't find it. I've been looking...

I looked for like minutes. Oh, yeah. Literally minutes. Hey, that reminds me if you need to get a new car. Like, Community Mechanical did one time for their fleet. Didn't we talk about fleets? We did. We did.

many trucks, you know where they got their fleet of trucks? Online at fairlease.org. Fairlease.org. In fact, the trades are saying the fine china of leasing. Like, that's just something I hadn't thought about, like if you're a business. So, you know, thought if you need a car or whatever, obviously you would want to lease a vehicle at fairlease.org. But what if you're a business and you got a small fleet? Well, fairlease.org, their deal was so good.

they bought Travis out of their D&M lease and set them up with new vehicles and a new leasing thing. It's great. 214, 818, 3238, or Fairlease.org. You got to put in Dumbzone. They got a little drop-down menu. It already has a thing in there for you. You don't even have to know how to spell Dumson.

But give it your best shot, though. Yeah, so Fairlease.org. lease a vehicle. I said lease it. Yeah, I have intentions to do that. Yeah, I think that's probably how we're going to wrap up. Is there anything that it was on your plate that you were... I think I'm going to start asking you if there's anything at the end that you're like,

oh, I heard this on five things. What have I been worried about in the news today? No, I'd like that opportunity, though. Okay. I appreciate that. Well, it looks like voting's probably going to be a little different going forward, and there's your news today. so yeah so what is that is that there

I guess I never get all of that either like political games but it feels like there's just as many olds on the right that want to vote in the mail and all that kind of stuff where it does seem to be the right that always not doesn't want you to do that but I don't get anything

I know this it's colder today and subscribe the temperature Yeah. What are we looking at? Is it still raining? I mean, it was coming down pretty heavy.

It's about 80 right now. I don't know. I don't have my weather radio. I still don't know what that is. Sorry. The Dumb Zone presents today. This will be brought to us by Frankel and Franco law firm, personal injury, attorneys. Jake wants you to get in an accident.

Never punt always C word. That rhymes with punt. that's from dirk yeah there's a lot of charles you know they've got to fill a lot of time and you know he shows up late you get to cover his his exit i think if there was something about the 49ers from that

Can I ask you a quick question? You can get back to that intro. Am I a complete moron? Was it really like 2017 or 18 before I had seen Cleetor during a baseball game and put that together? Did that actually happen with us together? Or you'd been making that joke? No, I think I learned. about it when you did.

Okay. Oddly enough. Some things, yeah, it's weird that they, I didn't catch them before. Okay. But I never did that until. That one was just right there.

Yeah. And Bob just, they were in a series. Oh, like. Okay, so this is from Matt. He writes, Matt Meet Curtins Martinez. And he wants to,

All right. I'm very slow. It is the sixth birthday of my son Carter. His leaders are Jurassic Park, King Kong versus Godzilla, and hot ice. From your hillbilly, North Georgia, D.F. James Statho Pulo. That's a cool name.

Greetings, Reich Fuhrer of the Musky Blitzkrieg. Today is my Frank Thomas' birthday. leaders are pre-pubescent sponsor Reed Blake, early bird Jake, and Uncle Hotmail, which is a far superior method of sending and receiving electronic mail, has a spell check, spam filters, and archiving, baby arm from Justin. So that sponsor is back,

and I will typically, you know, have to make the commercials for him. The one that's like a complicated spine-sounding thing? Yeah, and so I'll send them the previous versions of their ads of like, hey, if you want to reuse it, you can. It makes my life a lot easier because I don't have to make a new commercial. And they said, yeah, we're going to make a new one. You said, I mean, I'm surprised you, of all people, even sent them a 10-year-old thing.

Yeah, it saves me work. I'll do it. I can make your voice do most of it right here. All right, so some today in history for Wednesday, August 20th. first boxing match fought with gloves on this day in 1884 I believe soon after it would be purses and then skirts and uh yeah right

and then they just all would transition into ladies there's that boxing does not exist anymore play on computer in 1938 remember we've talked about like the 30s and everything like when sitting on a pole was a thing that's one of the more remarkable reports I've ever been... Yeah.

Like, pole sitting was like an actual big thing. Well, also... Like, you hear about executions and you're like, I got to admit. Pretty metal. I'd be there. Poll sitting. What else? Well, so 1938, 10,000 people are attending a Saturday morning publicity stunt

organized by the Come to Cleveland Committee. So Cleveland, not just when I was a kid, but forever, has been like, look, we don't suck. Come on. We got a thing here. And there's a building. So five members of the Indians are there to attempt to set a record by catching a baseball thrown off the top of the terminal tower. The terminal tower, if grandpa and grandma or whoever wasn't lying when I was growing up, was like the second tallest building in the world to the Empire State building at one time. Like it was a big deal. It was called the Terminal Tower. it was.

So third string catcher Henry Health, anyway. He catches a ball drop from 52 stories, estimated to be traveling the speed of 138 miles per hour. He broke Gabby Street's mark for a vertical catch. He was a Washington Senator's catcher. He caught it from 555 feet off the Washington Monument in 1908. So it took 30 years to finally break. They thought that was an unbreakable record. I mean, on one hand, it seems really basic, just like, let's see how far this can do that.

But on the other, that's still kind of what we do. Yeah. We just have more stuff. On this day, in 1986, postal employee Patrick Sherrill went on a deadly rampage at a post office in Edmond, Oklahoma, shooting 14 fellow workers and then killed himself. See, when I was a kid. This is what we did. Right.

We had post, they called it going postal, and apparently this happened a lot, where guys at post offices would, like, kill a bunch of people and their boss and then themselves. Couple turns. Now, the kids these days are like, well, what if we just do the shooting, like, at school? Like, no, no, no, you're supposed to grow up and then get a really shitty job, and then kill the people who are making this job so shitty for you. Right, blame this part of the system, not this part. But what happened was, I think the post office actually.

actually kind of looked at it and went, man, these are some draconian measures we have. We should lighten up a bit. They did lighten up. And then everybody's so woke and everything's so perfect in the world that they start, you know, killing earlier, I guess. I'm ready for football to start. I feel you.

On this day in 1989, entertainment executive Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty were shot to death in their Beverly Hills mansion by their sons, Lyle and Eric Menendez. Wasn't there a moment a few months ago where it was like, Hey, I think they're going to get out. Yeah, and we were told that it in some way had to do with one of the local elections out there, that one of the people running for DA or, you know, I don't, may or something was trying to run on that. Maybe we need to look at the Menendez brothers.

I don't know. Imagine the insane stuff you've come up with when you're running for like city council in Hollywood. Well, there was like a, you're like, yeah, I don't know, we'll do the reptile power people thing. When there were a recent documentary that was kind of questioning, did they get a? I didn't watch. Let's make that the name of a segment. Wasn't there a recent documentary that was kind of like, nah? On this day in 2008, a Spanish jetliner crashed during takeoff from Madrid,

killing 154 people, 18 people survived. Too many? That feels like too many. Feels like too many. I'd probably just kill myself if I'd be there, one of the survivors. Or kill them 16 people around me You sacrifice yourself to them

Also during takeoff You wouldn't want to crash during Well I guess if you did Then your family can come get you right there Would that be the worst part? If you were If you're plane crashed on the way back from California And you're stuck in New Mexico

Yeah I think your wife has to go deal with that I've got to take another plane home Yeah I guess he'd want to to crash upon takeoff. Yeah. I'd want to crash somewhere cool.

I think like if you could just crash, don't you think, I don't even really know what the Bermuda Triangle is, but if you could crash somewhere wild, don't really have to pay for a funeral, a lot of mystique. You know, not like Addison small airport, but if you were to crash in one of the wonders of the earth, just stay there. You could have just called Matteri. We would have picked you up in New Mexico on the way back. That's true.

Yeah. So always travel with two other people who are driving if you are going to fly somewhere. I think my water was taking up all the free space. That's true. Lake would have canceled. Like, nah, don't pick them up. Might not have had room. On this day in 2019, President Trump abruptly canceled a trip to Denmark, which owns Greenland after the Danish prime minister dismissed the idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland.

So is this one of those things that you have a to-do list, but you have a to-do list? you get interrupted, and then all of a sudden you do some other stuff, and then you come back to it later. Like, he got interrupted by losing the 2020 election. Right. And four years later, like, the first thing on his list was like, hey, let's go back to that thing I was going to do. Because that was like the first thing he did this time, right?

Started talking about Greenland again? It was definitely up there. That is a very funny way to look at it. Like, if you, do you ever, yeah, you pick up an old to-do-do-lis old notebook like that. Not many people have had a crack at that. I was going to work on this. We're not doing that anymore, bud. I thought we were going to own Canada, too.

What's going on here? All this stuff happens and then it's gone. Then the next month is here and we got another. Stay away from it. Yeah. Are you in a zero-r-b league? So they have leagues that totally you can't even have a running back at all? I've been found out.

That's as far as I can take that question. Because you know what I think they should do with fantasy football? He might be talking about the zero running back strategy. Yeah, there you go. Because I think Fantasy League should revamp the way they're set up. You shouldn't have two starting running backs anymore. Just one? You should just have one.

You should maybe have two quarterbacks. We will have a very special guests. Like back in the day, you could get two running backs who were both productive. Yeah. And now you can maybe get one. maybe, if you're one of the top three picks. Anyway, yes, let's do this tomorrow. Think about that.

Hold this over. My league, though, is... Let's put a pin in it. Blake was trying to get into it and couldn't, but we just draft, the fantasy draft is different running plays for teams throughout the year, so you can draft like the Cardinals, like off-tackle right as a... Now he's just making fun of it.

No, it's that advance. It's just running plays. You know, you can... You mock it. No. And a famous wedding on this date in 2011. Kim Kardashian marries Chris Humphreys. Henry, who is Chris Humphreys?

There you go. And on this... Can I just say this? It is kind of wild because we do these birthdays of a very famous woman who was like 80 or 90, and I'll see seven people they were. were married to and I've never heard of five of them and in my head I'm like I feel like if you're married to the most famous woman every at some point you were married to the most famous woman on the planet everyone would know who you are Chris Humphreys is a is kind of spare right that's a

tough look an interesting one it's just true love that's what she was into you so on this day in dumb zone history August 20th this was a big day for us because I think over the weekend, this was a Monday, over the weekend was Tom Brennaman. Oh, wow. So we had fun. That was a whole segment. If that happens last weekend, same words. Obviously

there's a bunch of other cultural you know things that we have to imagine of change or whatever. But if it's just like this weekend, what do you do? I think you play it. Well play it, but does he get does he get fired, fired? Probably the way he, because

Because he said it with some vitriol. I think, yeah. I think you're right. He said it like hard. Like it's the F capital of the world. Like he didn't, it wasn't like fun, like funny the way we say it. No. I think his is different, but at some point there's going to be that line, I would imagine.

But he did work on it. Now he's back, doing college football on the CW. wasn't I in the same Yeah, he was at a Clemson game I was at last year That's a Buffy I'm going to say the CW is still around Oh yeah

Yeah a lot of SMU football in the CW And then I'll leave you on a sad note This was NBA in the bubble time And we were watching Lucas' first playoff series And just saying Boy, if he just gets better every year He might be pretty awesome Oh then Mazmain was in a B0

L.M. shirt in the bubble. Man, it would be worth our time again to go back and review all of the names that were approved in the bubble. Mavsman was at the bubble. In the notes, yeah. Mazz man was in them, yeah. Birthdays today of famous people, Yerke. Yokey Paca. Yoki Paca is 34.

Where's here? I hope he lives on a lake You know what I actually feel like Within the last year I saw him in a game But that's not much information Was it Yoki Pocket Time? Yerky That was a good one

But the real dinger was beef yurkey Beav Yerkey time Quinn Buckner is 72 Wow Kind of looks like cocaine Let's do this for Henry Henry, you got a mic Don King

94 I don't know Mitchell Chubisky 31 No that one though Now I'm not asking you questions What's he famous for Mitchell Chubisky for backing up

Josh Allen Did he have a Kempspin or something Funny tweets He's got some funny tweets for sure Yeah one of them The one that you see a lot is He just posted I love kissing titty

All caps But the other one, which still perplexes me and I think describes life at the same time. It's just a photo of a tunnel out in, like, West Virginia, and it's the picture that says tunnel's so dope. Because I don't know how they do it. It's crazy, isn't it? How does it not just all fall down on you when you're... No chance. I'm ready for that question on the next road chip.

Yeah, Mitch Trubisky. I don't know. They just support... You don't know. What do they do? They're so dope. Like how are they? they're doing it he's right didn't he he played pretty well right the other night oh in a preseason

i don't know was he drafted just ahead of patrick mobs um same draft same draft well ahead there's a couple more in there tray lance right they traded up to get him didn't they or no hmm everybody traded up in that draft yeah i believe um let's look i was thinking though that like wouldn't that be a guy you'd want is your cowboy backup, like a guy with some... Doesn't the whole Joe Milton thing? I don't know. To have Dak Prescott and so much tied to your quarterback, you need a...

Are we doing sports talk now? I think we are. Duffy Waldorf is 63. I only include him. Do you know why? Because I'm thinking that's the... Like, one of the guys you made young Joe Kemp play as as when you were doing...

No. Wood's golf. No, I don't know that one. Duffy Waldorf is that, that doesn't, that seems like a caddy to me, but I'm thinking of who, what's the guy's name? Pagger Vance. Puff? Puff.

He's the one who would Gagher's first caddy? Gage the wind with his cigarette. I don't know. Todd Helton is 52. 61.8 war, but he's in second place today to Greg Nettles. He was 81. He's 67.9 war. Wow.

Connie Chung is 79. who was she married to Mori Povich, there you go, yeah I just saw a bit where Mori has a podcast now of course and he's like 90 and his guest is Connie Chung

and he's deriding her for apparently like they both cheated on each other a lot so he's like yeah you got around a lot when you got famous and she's like well you did too blah blah and he's like yeah how about Warren Bates So I guess she nailed Warren Beatty.

Okay. Which I believe back in the day, that would have been something you'd want to do if you're a lady. Oh, yeah. What, for sure? Bad podcast name. What are we going with? Morpoh, Po's, you're not the father. You are not the podcast.

You are, I don't know, go ahead. That's where I was leaning. What is it? On par with Maripovich. On par? Got a bunch of golf balls on here. That doesn't make any sense. Now, Duffy Waldorf, that would make more sense.

The podcast space has been missing. Mori Povich on golf. Oh, God. Off the tee. Mori swings at the headlines. No, there is a golf feel to this restaurant, isn't there? Robert Plant is 77. He's from Led Zeppelin.

How'd you duck that train? I mean, outside of just like... Just being stoked on the... Led Zeppelin? Yeah. I don't know. Never really had a Led Zeppelin face. Me neither.

Al Roker is 71. He predicts no Al Roker. Actor Ray Wise is 78. He's in Twin Peaks. I didn't know who he was, so I searched him this morning to see if he's even worthy of this list. He's kind of not.

But when you see his face, you know who he is, and I know who he is because he's been in some Tim and Eric sketches. A lot of overlap in these things you're mentioning. His name again? His name is Ray Wise. But it's just one of those, get the old serious actor,

but we'll put him in a Tim and Eric sketch, and that's funny. It's a great bit. I've always wondered if the pay conversation is weird. Yeah, they're not paying him. Well, no, I don't. Scale or whatever they say. They start complaining, and then do you just start saying, but I mean, look how old you are.

Then they ask for her. another they don't complain they're just happy to be out there getting a little something reaching the kids that's my guess on ray wise i'm sure there's i don't like you be smirching the name of ray wise listen i'm sure there's a at the end of an otherwise of this somewhere but twin peaks and i guess david lynch that is somewhere on the list of things that i just missed or things that missed me too i don't know what's going on over there and i got friends that are really stoked on some of the shapes don't even look normal over it there. It just sits a different universe

and I don't like it. It's scary. And I'm glad you and I have that in common because it's weird. Are you aware of this at all like Twin Peaks, Blake? No. Okay. My youngest daughter is into it. It's artsy. Yeah.

A couple left turns, buddy. Demi Lovato is 33. Local. Amy Adams is Fifty one. Andrew Garfield is 42. Actor.

Who's that, Blake? He was in the social network and Spider-Man. Okay, that's fine. Is he the new Spider-Man? He was the last Spider-Man. Yeah, the newest Spider-Man. Boy, too many Spider-Men's, huh? He's pumping these things out.

Actor Kay Hugh Kwan is 54. Number one, he was short-round in Indiana. Jones in the Temple of Doom. But then, kind of a comeback in everything, everywhere, all at once a few years ago. Did you see that?

No. Good. It's great. I should go see it together. I think it was... The little Venture kid in the Goonies. I think it was Academy Award nominated, at least.

If it didn't win, did it win? He won. Oh. There you go. The people were in the streets, didn't you see? our dumb zone birthday of the day oh let's see let's see henry's birthday of the day intern henry trying to freshen up our list all right this one relates to my favorite sports movie of all time remember the titans um it is a born on this day still dead

and that's um gary bertier i hope i'm pronouncing that right um he was the linebacker and kind of the main like he was the main guy in the film before everyone got there like he was supposed to be the star player of the team and then um the actual guy who yeah the actual guy not not the actor that played him is that booby miles that's friday night lights oh yeah he was uh he was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident and became a successful Paralympia. Jeez. Yeah, he's, that's the crux of the movie.

Is the Paralympic team, like, fired up when they see, like, a real good football player get paralyzed? They're like, damn. I'd love to know. I'd love to know, you know, because it's... I'm one hand, I don't wish it upon him, but I'm happy. Let me tell you something. That if somebody got paralyzed,

they'd rather Blake get paralyzed than me. Yeah. If it's their perilous basketball team. I think, you know, we talked about this earlier with levels of handicap. I think once I learned of the Gold Star Gay, a lot of things opened up for me. Like in the way that people looked at things, of degrees of this or that. Like, oh, you're not a full this. Yeah.

Are you talking Paralympia? Are you like, I don't know. I want you to be someone who had it all and struggle and fail down with me or someone who had it rough and climbed up. The Paralympic golf tournament really brought a lot to light, too. Just like, is that fair? Or the handicapped golf tournament where do you have a handicap have a handicap? It was from a phrasing standpoint, a challenge.

Yeah. Yeah, if you will. But it was the best thing about the handicapped golf tournament was the on-field reporter said it is had no arms yeah

yes so well I mean it's the same reason you want Tom Brady on the call of the biggest name but I'm saying

why does the golfing I would see how you had to be handicapped to be able to be in that tournament that's it's a weird like let's say they had a four foot and under

haven't they actually had like under six feet basketball leagues does the sideline reporter also have to be under like they know the struggles yeah it's an odd way to try to try to he had no arms right

and that meant he had to keep everything in the dome no writing notes about anything like you got to he's probably the best side reporter, he's way better than Aaron Andrews. She's jotting down notes and then referring to them before, okay, camera's about to come to me here.

I'll just refer to my notes and then put my hand down. Like, this guy's got to remember it all. Do you think that his peephole video would go for as much? I doubt it. And they're like, look at him dance. I doubt it. Dumb's own birthday of the day for you. It's Fred Durst, 55.

Wow. Yeah, a real pioneer. Yeah, I meant to text you last night at midnight. Happy birthday to Fred Ders. There was a time whenever that music, I guess, made me kind of exciting. Exciting because it was new, but in retrospect, what were we doing? Born on the Stay Now Dead, Dimebag, Darrell Abbott. From Pantera.

This is his birthday, so not the death anniversary. The death anniversary is a funny story, though. It feels like there's about five days a year that somehow we can get, Do you want to mention this story? Well, for most listeners, it was Donovan, who was working at the Bone at the time, right? Who got called in the middle of the night? He was, yes. Black guy working at a classic rock station.

He didn't know half the songs, but they called him the Bone Brother, because he's a funny guy, and he was on the morning show. And yes, I think they called him at, he had to get up at five in the morning to get to the station. And they call him at two. So wake him out of a deep sleep to tell him that Daryl Dimebag Abbott had passed away. And first of all, I don't know that he knew who that guy was. Let alone would be negatively affected by this in any way. But he's like, okay. No, and I remember.

Went back to sleep. I was intern. I was mad that he was woken up. Oh, yeah. Mad that you had to fake. I was an intern for the hardline at that time. and I felt like I really needed to be really busted up about it. He was a big deal, you know, and it's like I was a fan of Pantara,

but was that big of a fan at the time? Like, man, this is horrible talking to Danny about it. I'm going to cry with these guys. So that's born on the stay now dead. Dead on the stay, still dead. Jerry Lewis. The 11-year-old? He of the, I don't know what that means.

He called him loaned it. Jerry Lewis? Jerry Lee Lewis. Oh, Jerry Lee Lewis. That's with his cousin. This is Jerry Lewis, the comedian. That other guy wasn't just doing a bit. Who?

Jerry Lee Lewis. No, his name is Jerry Lee Lewis and Jerry Lewis. I'm saying the bit wasn't his cousin. Never mind. All right. Jerry Lewis did the telephone. Jerry Lewis did the telephone. Jerry Lee Lewis.

He married his 13-year-old cousin. Right. And he's not a comedian. He's not a comedian. He played his piano at Jerry's birthday party. That's right. Somehow that's ambiguity on that, as Jerry would say. So let's do some closing remarks.

BVB Dallas Right Is it BVB Dallas or just BVB It is BVB Dallas Okay so there's other Like there's a Cleveland I don't know if there's Cleveland I know. There used to be a Houston at one point.

Yeah, I think. Okay. So they had the idea here in Dallas based on another organization, but they split off because they wanted to keep the proceeds in Dallas for some specific beneficiaries. And when is this football game? Saturday. These are all ladies? Yes.

Correct. Is it blondes versus brunettes? Pink versus blue. Okay. We're bringing that back next year. Bringing what back? He doesn't want to spill the... We're bringing back the hair color thing?

It's kind of been a running joke internally, just because of what's back? Back, yeah. Oh, okay. And I keep mistakenly saying Team Blonde, even though it's now. In your defense, that's what it was when we started. Yeah, and when I left. Were redheads always shut out of this thing? Absolutely.

Okay, that's unfortunate. It's not like a deal where you have to play one of them, like a rec league or something with Koeh. Yeah, everyone out there at all times. Is there like a Jackie Robinson of redheads? they've the first No ever been a Jackie Robinson of redheads What I'm saying

To join the blonde versus Burnett game Caratop Yeah I didn't know this either But when you get out there It's pretty fast and loose With the There's no like test

Or they like how blonde is this Versus Burnett It's pretty much They separate the teams Okay You can play on whatever team you want Yeah based on It's any

You can be anything Now It's crazy You just show up say I'm on Mary a Toaster. So what do you want to say? What do you want to promote? Just the game?

Go to the game. The organization especially. Obviously, the objective here is to raise money for Alzheimer's research and care. And so that's why us and our 100 closest friends. We sponsor a fellowship over at UT Southwestern. So pay for a whole doctor's year of study. So that's a pretty cool thing where they do research here in Dallas. So it stays here to.

help move on, you know, research care and see what we're doing. Who's our other beneficiary this year? Well, in the UT Southwestern, first of all, Dan, you made the joke earlier about, you know, for you and I, but that is actually a pretty big concern of mine is that I'm going to end up like this with Alzheimer's. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Sure.

Yeah, joke about it. I got secrets that don't want out, bro. Who knows what you say in that? Exactly. But it has been really cool. me and a couple other of the players and coaches went up to UT Southwestern a couple weeks ago and heard about some of the stuff they're doing. And they're actually getting close. There was a study they did with a specific medication that was actually able to slow and in some cases

kind of reverse the effects of Alzheimer's and dementia. Obviously, it's not gone through the double-blind FDA trials and all that stuff. So it's not FDA approved. But, you know, Obviously, this is the first step in getting there. Also, a lot of educational tidbits. Like, I did not know that you couldn't diagnose with somebody, diagnosed somebody with CTE until after they were dead via autopsy. Hmm. Then how does he host that show?

C-T-E-SPN? Yeah. Self-diagnosed. Yeah, it is self-dagnosed. Yeah, and so there's a little, and definitely there are people that show signs of it, but. So, like, brain scans when you're alive, don't show the sort of? No. I think they send it to Tennessee.

Is that word? Or ANAK. I thought they cut off the head and said it. Yeah, they sent to ANAK. Oh. Well, that's good that it's almost tackled.

Yeah, no, they're definitely making progress. Let's blitz it. We'll throw a little heat at this thing. Yeah. Why not send a fifth? Packlet for a little loss. I like to give it a couple

different looks. Thank you. Yeah. And I also dropped my specific donation link to Blake. Cool. I just put in the show chat. We'll do a little work for you.

Thank you for counting as a fundraiser. So again, I appreciate you guys for having us out. But basically the goal here is we're trying to hit 300,000. I think we're sitting around 250 right now for the year, which we've already been raised enough to commit to funding the UT Southwestern Fellowship for the, I believe, the next two years, maybe on the hook for doing this again next year as well for that specific reason. And so if you don't mind me asking, what does that,

actually mean for people like so that work is being done that research that knowledge it's it's happening here in df w does that mean people can like be can you explain what now this like translates just so people know what they're signing up for so basically every dollar that's donated through my link or any of the links for the players and coaches um the money now we do pull money out to again raise more money with that but every dollar is getting reinvested back into the cause obviously there's some costs involved in putting on the football game, but ultimately that raises more money. So, again, every dollar is accounted for towards the research, and then it does stay within facilities here in DFW that we have a, not that we have control over it, but we have a lot of

visibility into how they're using it. Like caregiver support, so if a member of your family is afflicted by this, you know, there's resources we can connect you with and give you the support that you need to take care of that family member or place them in a facility that can help them better. It's like you were saying with me getting into soccer, it's way easier for me now. If you have a parent that gets to that age, having some level of playbook for it. That's an overwhelming thing. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a situation where if it's expensive enough to die already. Yeah. Karen for somebody with Alzheimer's or dementia is absolutely a 24-7 task. it's something a lot of people they aren't aware of Michael you have some more time I feel like I'm doing preventative maintenance on that yeah I'm trying

like they say if you I really was reading a thing that says if you walk more Oh yeah You can help prevent Alzheimer's by whatever percent I'm like oh okay So I you know I parked a little farther away from the You know on one hand I know The common thing is to say like oh well next year

They're going to change this or they'll say this Or that causes cancer or whatever It generally mostly makes sense if somebody said walking, do you think that's probably pretty good for just everything in general? It's pretty basic. I guess, but no, you always

think of... You live a very normal life, but you think of more extra, you got to go to the gym. You got to do this. You got to do that. But actually, yes, just getting out and moving around apparently can help. Like they, you know, I told you I watched that show about the blue zones. Yeah. Yeah. And how people lived to... Diet and exercise.

Food thunk. Yeah, yeah. It turns out... Didn't somebody like debunk that, Blake? In these areas, it's like they live in very hilly areas. They do a lot of walking. They actually eat kind of well, you know, fish and grains and things like that. Oh, it turns out that eating right and exercising works, yeah. And it's not major exercise. Like these old 100-year-olds aren't lifting weights.

Living. Like walking after you eat. Yeah. They're walking to town to get their water or whatever. Doing it. And doing it, yeah. I've been doing that, bro. I don't tell you

No, please don't I said I don't have to Yeah, yeah Because I already did this morning Told you all about it Anyway Don't act like that when you're picturing me I'm happy sweet love

When I think about it Yeah Who is he with when you think about it First right off the rip Right there, go, who's he with? His Jordan That's right My Jordan Hudson

That's fair sweet little girl I don't know how old she is yet I haven't met her yeah she'll take care of you though and the research will be there that's right no I'll be thriving

you might meet her in this game on Saturday I might meet her doors open at 5 okay does that be it anyway could I have one more tidbit sure it's your time

so I actually get a corporate match through the large teleco company that I work for not too far from here. So I'm going to send Blake my Venmo as well. So if anyone is sent in $5, $10 and anything like that, I'll be able to match a dollar for dollar up to, I think, $5,000. Oh, wow. Okay, right on.

We're in for X amount. That will be a nice... That sounds a little shady. Send him my Venmo. I'll put together a spreadsheet at the end, so everyone will be able to see their name on him. W9? I don't know.

I don't know either. Mine is the 10% of it. I don't think it's shady, though. I have full trust in you. This is a lot of stuff. I've got to put in the show notes. That's right. We got a lot of tonnows today.

Sorry, Blake. Blake doesn't like to help charity. I guess a $25 donation to... Get into the game. Yeah, I'll get you a ticket into the game. Blake's like, I gave it the train. Right. But if you donated it all $25 is the threshold and that gets you the ticket and then come see all the action on Saturday.

I'll be playing. It'll be fun. Oh, you'll be playing. Oh, yeah. What do you play? Defense. Is she good? Have you played?

I've seen her. Yeah, she's, I don't know. Did you play or did you, no, you were just a sideline guy? Yeah, there's really no males playing. It was defensive MVP last year. Yeah. Defensive MVP. Now, I haven't seen it's been a little while, and I don't know your exact age,

but I mean, it's really going fast for me on the, like, ability to run around like that, even with, you know. Are you like the Blake of your office? You're like a kick-ass athlete. You're winning fights at fight night. A sandbagger. Yes, I'll answer for her. Is she?

Yeah, I'm actually the offensive coordinator this year, so a lot of my job is practice against our defense, and she's been a problem basically since the start. Now, do you actually call plays as the O-C, or do you do it cowboy style? No, I'm tasked with calling plays. Okay, a lot of pressure. Tons of pressure. Sequencing.

You got a guy in your ear, game management? Usually Mariola. Did I just ask you had a guy in his ear. He's coaching a team of 25 women? no guy in his ear he's got an entire sideline of people in his ear does that get overwhelming um

what's worse the parents are the extremely teed up females with eye black on who are all swagged out that's a scary scene Dan they're going to rumble absolutely terrifying when they're I'll admit it the moon moves

it's like a whole thing Mercury's in retrograde all right well oh adios We gotta go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my videos.
